Real Deal Steel 1957 Chevy Body - Building Better BodiesWritten by Gerry Burger on September 1, 2011 This is the real deal in steel
Every time I see a new, all-steel reproduction body I take a serious reality check. Had someone mentioned 35 years ago that one day all-new steel bodies would be available we would have scoffed at the idea. After all, this was a time when you could barely get a patch panel that actually fit your car, let alone an entire replacement body. If you were working on a '50s or '60s car, OEM replacement panels were the only way to fly, and even back then they were becoming both pricey and scarce. But an entire body? Never happened. Ah, but never is a long time and Woody's Hot Rodz has "shortened" never into now.
By the turn of the century there were several all-steel reproduction bodies on the market. It began with Model A, and then of all things a '32 Chevrolet roadster, and progressed to the '32 Ford, then the '33-34 Ford, and Waddington's Model A closed-cab pickup. Next, first-generation Camaro bodies was being assembled and now we have actually watched the entire assembly of a '57 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible and hardtop body, complete from headlight to tailfin. Finally, came Bob Drake's '40 Ford coupe.
So how exactly do we come from being unable to find reasonable replacement panels to top-quality entire steel bodies? Well, two things come into play: a shrinking world and the computer—but not necessarily in that order. Technology has changed so dramatically over the past 20 years that many projects once deemed financially impossible are now a reality. Offshore manufacturing has also provided us with competitive pricing on big projects, such as reproducing '55-57 Chevrolet bodies. Technology has made it possible to "reverse engineer" parts, a process where a perfect original piece can be 3-D scanned and put into production faster and cheaper than ever before.
Like most steel body builds, this one did not begin as one cohesive project to build a complete Tri-Five Chevrolet body. Much like the Camaro body, it began with replacement panels, such as floors, rocker panels, quarter-panels, doorskins, and fenders. These panels were first stamped to help enthusiasts repair old and rusted vehicles. Anyone who has ever repaired a rusted car knows rust is seldom skin deep and rust never sleeps. Peel back that rusted quarter-panel and you will likely find rotted wheelhouses and floors. And so, more and more parts were being produced to repair the original cars. Enthusiasts soon realized they were better off purchasing a complete replacement door rather than simply a doorskin. Floorpan and foot well patch panels soon gave way to complete floor replacements. Structural rust in the firewall area brought with it demand for a complete cowl section in stock form, particularly for convertibles. It was about this time the concept of a complete '57 Chevy body became realistic. If they manufactured roof skins, inner roof structures, and complete inner quarter-panels they could assemble a complete car.
And so the stamping continued, until this year when every brace, inner panel, and exterior panel was finally stamped in brand-new steel. The next major project was the fabrication of fixtures to precisely assemble complete car bodies. This body is an exact reproduction of the original, which means if you find a good set of doors, a decklid, or front clip on a parts car they will bolt right on this body.
The steel is all stamped in Taiwan to a very high standard. Every panel has been reverse engineered from perfect original parts and there have been a few improvements along the way; things like the one-piece floor. The original Tri-Five Chevrolet didn't have a seam down the center of the transmission tunnel. Current aftermarket floorings are two-piece with a seam. However the new Real Deal Steel floorings do not have a seam mimicking the original factory floor. On these new bodies the floor is one big stamping, eliminating the center seam and enhancing the strength of the floor in the process.
We had heard rumors of the new Real Deal Steel Tri-Five Chevrolet bodies since last summer and when Chris Sondles of Woody's Hot Rodz contacted us about his new '57 steel body and chassis packages we had to get a firsthand look at the project.
This brought us to the Real Deal Steel body plant in Sanford, Florida, where we met the men behind the bodies, Joe Whitaker and Randy Irwin. Walking inside the manufacturing building we were greeted by no less than five Real Deal Steel bodies in different levels of completion. Talking about these bodies is one thing, walking up and actually looking at a brand-new '57 Chevrolet convertible is a whole other story. These bodies are simply gorgeous.
Of course the fact that Chris Sondles arrived the day before we did and had one of the new hardtop bodies perched atop his wild, straight-axle '57 reproduction frame only fueled the Tri-Five flames.
The Manufacturing Process
Now, Chevrolet built 1,515,177 total cars in 1957, yeah, roughly 1.5 million cars, over 4,000 per day. Needless to say that is just a bit above the capacity of the Real Deal Steel company, but still their single production station is impressive and the productivity is ample to fill the needs of our hobby, turning out a couple bodies per week.
One of the keys to maintaining high quality and keeping the price within reach is the fact that these bodies are assembled in the United States. After the stamping process is completed in Taiwan they are loaded into a shipping container and are transported by ship. That same container is then delivered by truck to Real Deal Steel for assembly. This enables them to put 30 bodies in one container, saving a tremendous amount of shipping cost in the process, costs that would have been passed onto the end consumer. To illustrate just how much is saved that same container that holds enough parts for 30 bodies would hold just two complete bodies.
The panels arrive in boxes on pallets and after the stamping, every panel is coated with a proprietary silver coating. This is a weld-through primer that prevents rust but allows perfect welding too. The silver color gives the car a real steel body look.
Each body is assembled by hand on a precise fixture that ensures each body will be the same. First the floor sections are mounted to the base fixture and the front half of the floor is spot-welded to the rear portion using a production-style spot welder, much like you would see on a modern automotive assembly line. Additional welding is done with a MIG welder.
After the floor panels are connected a large (and heavy) fixture is installed atop the new floor panels. This fixture will locate the new firewall and inner cowl structure.
A second fixture is now bolted in place, connecting to both the main floor fixture and the front fixture. This jig precisely locates both inner quarter-panel structures. After locating the inner quarter-panels they too are spot-welded and MIG-welded in place, followed by the rocker panels that connect the inner cowl to the inner quarter-panel structures. A smaller windshield fixture is now bolted atop the forward fixture and the windshield surround is attached to the lower cowl area.
The inner fixture also locates the bracing connecting the two inner quarter-panels and the hinge points for the decklid. Of course the panels vary between the convertible and hardtop but the same base fixture is used for both bodies. After adding a myriad of other braces and inner panels the '57 Chevrolet "skeleton" is complete. The good news is you can buy just the inner structure from Real Deal Steel and hang your own reproduction, N.O.S., or good used panels on this skeleton. If you had a decent parts car this could be the way to go. Original doors, decklids, quarter-panels, and the front clip will all weld or bolt to this skeleton just like an original car.
It is interesting to note that Whitaker and Irwin really expected to sell a lot of basic body skeletons, but that has not necessarily been the case. It seems most customers see the body with all the new outer skins installed and decide to go for the complete body.
The complete body is manufactured while the car is still on the fixture. The quarter-panel skins are aligned and spot-welded in place just like the factory process. The fixture has locating pegs for the new outer quarter-panels so placement is precise. The panel between the quarters is then clamped in place. This panel incorporates the front of the driprail for the trunk area and is clamped to the new quarter-panels. Before this panel is welded in place, the new decklid is carefully fitted to the quarters and the forward panel. Once the decklid fits perfectly the spot welding continues to permanently attach all the panels. It should be noted that throughout the build there are approximately 25 percent more spot welds holding the body together than the original '57 bodies.
The final panel to be installed is the lower tail pan and it too is fitted to the decklid prior to welding, along with the small inner quarter-panel pieces. This completes the body shell and the inner fixtures are removed from the body and the body is carefully lifted off the main fixture with a fork truck. If the customer has ordered doors, they are bolted in place at this time completing the body. Of course the hood, front fenders, inner braces, and brackets are all available in the complete package.
Different Stages of Completion
After watching the assembly process it is no real mystery to us why most people opt for the complete body package. Only the very best metalworkers could hang the quarters, rockers, and other panels with the precision that Real Deal Steel does. The fixture they use is just a huge advantage for alignment and the OEM-style spot welder makes it all look very original. While these bodies are manufactured by Real Deal Steel, they do not sell direct to consumers as they maintain their focus on manufacturing.
Woody's Hot Rodz is the primary dealer for Real Deal Steel. Chris Sondles, owner of Woody's, and the owners of Real Deal Steel have a working relationship that began over 20 years ago. They have spent the last two decades deeply involved with Tri-Fives and the bodies drop ship directly from the manufacturing facility in central Florida. You can purchase bodies from Woody's Hot Rodz in virtually any state of completion and they also offer three different chassis to mount the Tri-Five Chevrolet: Woody's straight-axle gasser style, a stock-like A-arm (upper and lower control arms) chassis, and of course an Art Morrison Enterprises chassis. Woody's Hot Rodz is fast becoming the place for all your Tri-Five needs. They can provide the basic skeleton, a complete body, a complete body and frame kit, and even a complete painted body.
What it Means to the Hobby
The introduction of all-new steel bodies for the wildly popular Tri-Five Chevrolets will obviously increase the number of '55-57 Chevrolet hot rods. The Real Deal Steel '55 and '57 body through Woody's will be available in a "post car" sedan model by the middle of the summer and the hardtop and convertible models are available now. After they complete the full line of '57 Chevrolets (sorry, no Nomads) Real Deal Steel will begin assembling '55 bodies in convertible, hardtop, and post styles. All '56 models (sedan, hardtop, convertible) will be available by the spring of 2012.
While Tri-Five Chevrolets are not considered rare by most standards, they are very popular and that popularity drives demand, which keeps prices high, even for marginal cars. One interesting thing we have seen over the years is this: It is the customs, hot rods, and resto-mod cars that bring in the most money when sold. It is not uncommon for convertibles to be customized and modernized for maximum enjoyment and driveability. Tri-Five Chevrolets were hot-rodded long before anyone thought of restoring one and the advent of new steel bodies will provide hot rodders with a perfect body for everything from a straight-axle gasser to a low-slung custom. Of course the use of a new body for a resto-mod Chevrolet is a natural and dare we say these cars will find their way into the ranks of those people who had always dreamed of a stone-stock '57 Chevrolet convertible. Of course you can also purchase any single part required to repair your original '55-57 Chevrolet too. Suddenly that '57 Chevy that was wrecked in the '70s is now a repairable car with new inner structures and sheetmetal.
And all this serves to illustrate that the '57 Chevrolet is a great-looking car that can be built in endless styles. Much like the venerable '32 Ford, the Tri-Five Chevrolets are good looking in every body style and lend themselves to all styles of hot rodding. For those who think "everything has been done" on these cars, remember, they've been saying that about the Deuce for over 60 years.
The advent of a brand-new body will now make building a '57 Chevrolet much like building a Deuce. With reproduction frames available most hot rodders can assemble a high-caliber car in their home shop without the hassle of trying to rescue a 54-year-old rusted-and-tweaked body. And where you once felt compelled not to cut up that precious sheetmetal, you are now free to modify at will. Feel like doing the radiused wheelwell trick? Go ahead, there are plenty of quarter-panels to go around.
Bench racing sessions, emails, and online talk lead us to believe that the reproduction steel '55-57 Chevrolet bodies may be the biggest thing to hit hot rodding since the steel Deuce roadster. As a matter of fact, most of us think these bodies will have an even bigger impact on our hobby as younger rodders relate to the mid-'50s cars. One thing is certain, this is a welcome addition to the multiple choices afforded hot rodders today. One need only remember the cars in the movie American Graffiti to understand the impact and the synergy.
The Gasser Movement
It was bound to happen, gassers that is. After all, traditional hot rods have been the hot ticket for the past 10 years and nothing goes better with a traditional hot rod than an early gasser. Straight-axle cars, nose high stances, piecrust slicks, velocity stacks, and colored Plexiglas windows are all making a huge comeback. For many people, the term gasser and Tri-Five Chevrolets are synonymous, and we must admit few things quicken the pulse more than a straight-axle '57 with no front bumper.
In the early '60s, street-going gassers were every bit as common as traditional hot rods and just plain ol' badass Tri-Five Chevrolets roamed the continent devouring the competition at the track and the "stop light grand prix." Being of a certain age, this writer can remember watching gassers on the strip and roaming the streets. Nothing was more outrageous in the early '60s than a straight-axle, nose-high fenderwells filled with headers, and radiused rear wheelwells gasser. Well, guess what? The same holds true today. Roll into your local cruise night or major national event with a rumbling gasser, rattling blue Plexiglas windows filled with kill stickers, and you are guaranteed to garner a lot of smiles and draw a crowd when you park.
Woody's Hot Rodz has just introduced their all-new '57 Chevrolet gasser chassis. A study in modern fabrication, the chassis it beautifully finished. The utter simplicity of straight-axles front and rear make this a very attractive way to go. The nose-high stance is built into the axle and Chris Sondles, of Woody's Hot Rodz, reports the turning radius is every bit as good as a stock '57 (something a lot of '60s straight-axle cars couldn't manage).
When we were at Real Deal Steel in Sanford, Florida, Sondles came down from Bright, Indiana, with his new gasser frame and mounted a two-door hardtop body on that chassis. Woody's is a dealer for Real Deal Steel so it was only a natural that Sondles would develop a great gasser chassis for these cars. Woody's also offers at least two other Tri-Five Chevrolet chassis—one based on stock-style suspension and another for the Pro Touring set, but for now let's take a quick look at the gasser frame. Yes, the reproduction '57 Chevrolet steel body and frame have arrived and we're looking forward to a stream of hot rod Chevys rolling out of garages again, just like they did in the '60s.

We took a body right off the building fixture and dropped it down on a gasser frame by Woody's Hot Rodz and every bolt hole lined up perfectly, a testament to both the chassis and the body.Most customers are opting for the complete body, so now it is time to hang the quarter-panels, rocker panels, and mount the decklid. The panels are all coated with a silver weld-through primer.The fixture has locator pins that precisely locate the new quarter-panel skins on the inner quarter-panel structure. Once located a series of spot-welds makes the final connection in the doorjamb area.The fin design on a '57 Chevrolet means there is also a small inner quarter-panel. This piece must be fitted perfectly, so it is installed with sheetmetal screws first, then spot- and plug-welded after fitting.The inner quarter-panel has been welded to the outer quarter-panel, but temporary sheetmetal screws still hold it and the lower tail pan in place during the fitting process on the decklid.An option available from Real Deal Steel through Woody's Hot Rodz is leading all the seams, just like they did at the factory in 1957. With a body this nice is seems like leading the seams is the only way to go.Measurements are checked for the decklid opening before final welding of the quarter-panels. The check and double-check system keeps the body gaps uniform.Once satisfied with the fit of the decklid Whitaker and Irwin do the final welding with both the spot-welder and plug welding with a MIG.
A chain with a turnbuckle is used to pull the quarter-panels together and hold them in place. Typically the chain is pulling the quarter-panel about 1/2 inch. The chain also prevents the quarters from moving during the welding process. Joe Whitaker is busy fitting the panel ahead of the decklid.A perfect floor in a Tri-Five Chevrolet, complete with new hinges, a complete spare tire well and perfect fit. Mother Nature has eliminated most of those things from original Tri-Five Chevrolets.We checked the body alignment on an original '57 chassis that was in the shop, and sure enough every hole lined up perfectly. This replacement body is spot-on.After the panel forward of the decklid is fitted a series of spot-welds are performed to hold it in place. Also seen in this photo are the cam-lever locating pins on the inner fixture.Ross Logsdon lays down a line of spot-welds after carefully fitting the rocker panels to the inner floorpan.

I am not looking for judgment or opinion. I am looking for information.
When is circumcision done? Do we need to set it up in advance, does it happen at the hospital after birth, who does it at the hospital, and so on...?
I am not looking for judgment or opinion. I am looking for information.
When is circumcision done? Do we need to set it up in advance, does it happen at the hospital after birth, who does it at the hospital, and so on...?
It normally occurs before the baby leaves the hospital after birth, unless you're Jewish - in that case a mohel performs it when the baby is 8 days old if I recall correctly.
You'll need to speak with your hospital to determine whether or not you need to arrange it in advance, and whether or not it is covered by your insurance (many insurers are no longer paying for it). Hospitals also vary as to whether it's a pediatrician, GP or surgeon performing the snip.
It depends on all sorts of things. The big ones being cultural and religious.
Outside of that, in the US, at least, male circumcision is still done. It's typically done a day or two after the birth in the hospital.
Without passing any judgement, the only advice I'd offer is to think about it prior to the day. My wife and I didn't put a lot of thought into it and I wish we had.
In the case of Muslim boys, it will tend to happen around the age of six. There is a whole big ceremony attached to it (the act, not the body part). As I understand it, it is done under a general anesthetic. We spoke to our pediatrician about it when our boy was born - that would be a good starting point.
Source: http://www.americanpregnancy.org/labornbirth/circumcision.html
In US, if there are no complications with foreskin and you want a hospital circumcision, normally your OB/GYN (since she is trained as a surgeon and your pediatrician is not) would perform a circumcision before you leave the hospital. If there are complications, a pediatric urologist will do it later but before he is 1 year old.
In my experience in hospital circumcision was not covered by our insurance. We were told to get an appointment with our pediatrician and they would either perform the circumcision or refer us to someone who does. We had it done about a week after the birth.
Extremely thorough treatment of circumcision at www.circinfo.net
Parents considering infant circumcision should REALLY check out Circumcision Decision-Maker. It takes you through your reasons for wanting circumcision one at a time and then gives you some expert opinion. It also has information on penis anatomy, how the foreskin develops, circumcision, and care of the intact penis including washing instructions.
It depends on the reason. In Germany the circumcision to deal with Phimosis is usually done just before going to school. This ensures that it is necessary and can heal before school starts.

Guys I need the o/p of the foll pseudo code in terms if call by reference.Plz ignore the small programmin errors as this a pseudo code not a running code
here a=31,b=28,but what will be the value of b-a will it be 4 which we get after computing the sum function or will it be -3 from the new values of and b(i.e 28-31)
the value function will hold after refernce (27,6,3)
In this case which value of a does it print??
plzz help me
SUM(x,y,z) { x=y*x; z=z+x; } main() { a=3; b=7; SUM(b,b-a,a) printf(a,b,b-a); }
value(x,y,z) { x=x*y; x=x+y+z; } main() { a=3; value(a,2*a,a); printf("value of a,a); }
In this case which value of a does it print??

Periodically, we all experience a hamstring issue, such as a pulled, ripped or torn hamstring. In relation to my current issue (a pulled hamstring in the left leg), I would like to continue practicing my martial art (Taekwondo) while still trying to heal the damage, but this often proves to be easier said than done. What are the recommended approaches for dealing with an injured hamstring while still continuing to practice a martial art?
Stop practicing and let it heal. What you should do is rehab work. Stretches, slow (VERY SLOW) movements exercising the range of motion of various muscle groups.
[Edit - I know a girl who injured something in her hip, I don't know what, and she won't let it heal. She reinjures herself constantly.]
As everyone else is saying: don't train on it. Do other things - do crunches, do upper body exercises... don't train the hurt muscle. Rest, Ice, reduce swelling/inflammation if you have any.
After it's better (days, weeks, even...), slow stretches, strengthening to get it back up to full. If you can, consider some massage/bodywork to help it.
Now, here's the other part. "It's just a pulled muscle." Unless you have a medical professional confirm that, it might also be partial or micro tears of your tendons. And the problem is, tendons don't heal as well as muscle. So when you train on that, you risk a complete separation, which then means surgery and permanent danger of reinjury.
If you "pull a muscle", be kind to it. Unlike the movies, fighting through injuries doesn't make you tougher and better, what doesn't kill you doesn't make you stronger, just makes you more likely to get injured again, worse.

Homestead breaks Germantown's 51-game NSC softball win streak
Homestead girls softball coach Dave Keel knows something about long winning streaks.
After all, his football squad, which he also coaches, has dominated the North Shore Conference and won four state titles in the last 15 years.
But he and his Highlander softball team have been on the wrong side of an imposing streak by powerful neighbor Germantown that has stretched for close to four years.
That was until Wednesday afternoon at Thiensville Park, as sophomore hurler Allie Beckers pitched the game of her life, scattering three hits, with three strikeouts and two walks, as Homestead ended the Warhawks 51-game North Shore Conference win streak in a 4-1 decision.
"They're always a good team, very well-coached. You have to play well to beat them and we did today," said Keel. "It's really something about streaks in this conference. We had that run in football (in the 2000s), Port was unstoppable in wrestling until this year and Germantown (bioys) basketball has been winning forever.» Read Full Article
Shorthanded Whitefish Bay girls still able to win North Shore track title
Senior distance ace Sara Coffey was out nursing a hip injury while state placewinning pole vaulter Lily Hayes wasn't at full steam because of a bone bruise in her foot.
But that didn't matter to the Whitefish Bay girls track team which proved its depth over and over again Tuesday night in the North Shore Conference outdoor, winning seven events en route to easing past Homestead, 146-140, for the league championship.
"It shows how strong we are as a team when everybody pulls their own weight," said sprinter Kaitlyn Jackson, who won the 100, 200 and 400-meter dashes. "It's awesome to do something like this."
With the win, the Blue Dukes avenged their loss to Homestead in the NSC relays two weeks ago and book-ended the league indoor title they claimed last month.
Before the final scores were announced, Bay head coach Ben Van Male admitted to being nervous despite just watching Hannah Lyons lead a one-five-eight effort in the 3,200.» Read Full Article

The farm bill has been stalled in Washington all this year.
The original five year government plan mandates everything from farming to food stamps.
At the end of this month, that legislation will run out affecting millions and that has local farmers upset.
"Without knowing exactly what the parameters are of the program, that can have an impact of what farmers do and what they fell is going to be a risk as far as what they plant, when they plant, and if they plant," says Randy Griggs, Executive Director of the Alabama Peanut Producers.
Three important questions that are in the hands of lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
For right now Washington continues to play the partisan blame game, not answering those questions.
"Shame on them!! Shame on them for abandoning our farmers, our economy, and families who need us to act," says Rep. Steny Hoyer.
"President Obama, won't work with us to in common ground or urge senators and democrats to take action, why? Because democrats have failed to lead," says Speaker Jon Boehner.
An un-passed farm bill has led to the potential of millions of dollars in food stamp programs being cut.
Those cuts will be felt at thousands of food banks across the country as more families seek help, and the wiregrass area united way food bank is no exception.
'It would hurt us substantially."
A hurt that the average family may feel if legislators can't agree.
"The items that would go to the grocery store and buy yourself, that's the quality of the items, that we get through the farm bill, but of course if the quantities are cut back we won't have enough to get out and help the people that are our clients, that need assistance," says Executive Director of the Wiregrass Area United Way Food Bank, David Hanks.
An un-finished bill that leaves much more than funding hanging in the balance.

I realise this is a fairly odd question to ask but in recent rounds of hiring we have noticed a rather odd trend in new developers that spectacularly fall short of our expectations. So much so that they to all intents and purposes appear to be an entirely different person to the one interviewed and tested.
We pre-screen applicants during their initial interview with a fairly nasty PHP/MySQL written test which tests both their knowledge of the PHP/MySQL as well as some fundamental aspects of application design. You cannot score highly on this test by simply memorizing the PHP and MySQL manuals (We've made that mistake in the past). I'm sure It is by no means fool-proof, but is intended to be sufficient to weed out those who have clearly lied on their resumés.
Applicants that pass this stage are offered a second interview which is followed by a 2 hour practical test where they are required to develop a small application to a given specification. They are not necessarily expected to complete the task but are judged on their approach to the given task.
Three times now he have hired the "best" applicant based on interview and test results, and each time the person that has showed up for work on the first Monday morning has been completely devoid of the skills and experience they have previously demonstrated. Each of these applicants scored over 90% on the written test and exceeded our expectations when given a practical task to complete.
Hence my coining of the phrase "Developer Twin Syndrome"
Has anyone else experienced a similar trend in hiring developers?

Hey can anyone help me with the rail settings (V & H) for a Sigma 8mm 3.5 and Canon T1i? I haven't found any settings out there yet for this combo but I would appreciate any help to see if my numbers are accurate!
Hey can anyone help me with the rail settings (V & H) for a Sigma 8mm 3.5 and Canon T1i? I haven't found any settings out there yet for this combo but I would appreciate any help to see if my numbers are accurate!
Which method have you used to arrive at your settings? If they are accurate, you should be able to shoot and stitch an excellent quality panorama. Have you tried doing that? If you can, then it doesn't really matter whether your settings are exactly the same as anybody else's.
Hi John,
I followed your tutorial actually I'm getting good results with 5.1 on the lower rail and 9.1 on the upper rail. I plan to do some more testing today.
Here's a screencap of my nadir. I still have some final tweaking but any help/guidance from you by looking at the nadir would be greatly appreciated!
That's looking ok (apart from the CA - but I know they are only test shots!). The lower rail setting seems fine. The upper rail setting is something of a compromise, so you need to see how a complete stitch looks.
Complete stitch is working well. Average error of 0.4 for CPs. I did adjust the CA in photoshop on some further tests.
Re: Upper rail. Should I look at moving it back a tad or work with what I have now. I'll be shooting a straight down nadir shot so the stitching errors you see there will/should be eliminated.
Hello - I have the same setup as you and am using the NN3 I purchased in 2007. Are the settings working out for you...ie 5.1 lower and 9.1 upper? I remember there used to be a comprehensive chart somewhere on NN's website but I can't seem to find it anymore. Thanks!
Thanks John...I saw that page but didn't see settings for the T1i. I used the 400D XTI before (NN3 - A=41 B=87) but just upgraded! If you happen to run across it please let us know! Thanks again! -Gerard
Just measure the settings yourself. It only takes 10-15 minutes and is not at all difficult. You can then inform Nick of your results so that the database can be updated for the benefit of others.

A closer look at Ziggy Ansah, Star Lotulelei and 17 other 2013 NFL draft prospects from Utah universities
Height and weight: 6-3, 300
2012 stats: Started 10 of 11 games for the Thunderbirds and recorded 48 tackles with 23 solos, including 6.5 sacks.
Cody Larsen, a former Jordan High standout, proved to be as much a terror in the college ranks as he was in high school, garnering at least six sacks in each of his last two years with the Thunderbirds.
Mention of Larsen in mock drafts is scarce at best, though NFLDraftScout.com has him potentially going in the second round. There's something to be said for someone who produces well at each level he plays at, though Larsen may need to make opportunities to prove he can do so at the highest level of all.
Career highlights/honors: Larsen wrapped up his four-year college career with 130 total tackles, 72 solos, 18.5 sacks and 30 tackles for loss. He was named to the 2012 FCS All-America team.

He put his pads in the wrong place.
He knew not which goal he should face.
Ziggy was fast, strong and smart.
After three years he did start.
He runs like the wind and hits like a truck
He plants opposing quarterbacks like sitting ducks

with KR results like that and NFL combine numbers off the chart (40 time,
vertical, etc) and Utah struggling on offense the past 2 seasons, why
didn't they utilize Reggie Dunn more on offense?
Not using this kid more on offense to take advantage of his blazing speed, etc looks as bad on Kyle as his blunder with the whole QB fiasco the past 2 yrs with Jordan Wynn and Jon Hays.
Major blunder. Kyle's looking more and more like he can't handle the pressure of coaching in the Pac12. Good thing Dennis Erickson is under contract. Maybe Chris Hill isn't good in the moment handling problems like his swim team, rugby, etc but he is good at planning ahead. I think he showed some good sense in grabbing Kyle's replacement while he was still available. Erickson would've been gone if Hill waited until the end of the season after another likely last place finish in the Pac12.

Re: Hedgehog
Some guys have amazing stats in combine drills, but just don't have the head for football. Maybe the reason Dunn didn't play more is because he couldn't learn the playbook. Who knows? If he ends up in the NFL and does well, hindsight might say that Whitt should have used him more. But, maybe there was a good reason he didn't.

Unfortunately Reggie Dunn's hands are as poor at their game as his feet are good at it. Utah did try getting him the ball in space where he could work one-on-one with bubble screens and end arounds and unfortunately for them it did not work.
Hardly a fiasco. Coach Whittingham used Dunn where he was most effective, tried him in other situations, found that they didn't work and stopped trying them. If there is a fiasco in my mind it's the mishandling of Ezekiel Ansah by the BYU coaching staff. It's unconscionable that a top ten draft talent didn't play until his senior year and then only due to injury. I see this situation as the main reason that BYU needs a new leader to bring it back to national significance.

"Maturity" and "Knowledge" of the sport and the personnel is not
something that is "Proclaimed" it is "Earned" and
"Demonstrated"... In my book, a couple of comments in this article and
some previous ones fall short of earning the title of "Mature".
I believe it to be quite understandable that a Foreign Student who probably didn't even know what "football" was let alone knowing how to play was not discovered or developed earlier... The guy was a Soccer fan and a Track athlete that wanted to play Basketball... I actually give Mendenhall credit for turning the rock into a diamond in 2 short years.
Oh, and "D"... The Rhyme at least contained some substance... Don't be jealous.

More mature, just cause Ziggy is a top ten pick does not mean he was ready to start before this year. He is being drafted off freakish size and athletic ability, not numbers. Remember he only played two years of college football. He was pretty raw the first half of the season. He would have been way to raw his first year to even consider starting him. As far as a better coach, yes Mendenhall has messed up some seasons, but he has also produced some very good seasons. His numbers are comparable to Edwards are at this point in their careers. And Mendenhall is playing much better competition. Also remember to coach at BYU you have to be active LDS. That leaves a coaching pool of maybe ten to fifteen people nationwide. Realistically who do you think would be better and represent the church?

Sure would like to see a little more of that from BYU, though I do feel the emphasis on off-field development is important, too.

I think this comment was selfish and potentially could impact Zigggy's draft position. You censors may disagree, but I cannot understand why would refuse to publish the comment. It was sincere and civil and directly related to a quote contained in the portion of the article about Ziggy. I would really appreciate an explanation.

Nor did I know that Southern Utah had a giant at QB. What was he?...like 6'4" and 230 lbs? Tall enough to see over an offensive line, heavy enough to take a hit and apparently with a cannon of an arm. Wow!

Guests raised their glasses to toast the kickoff of CASA's fundraising campaign. But those bottles for sharing weren't the only wines uncorked that night. Bello Family Vineyards and Landy Family Vineyards gladly poured tastes that were perfectly matched by the savory bites provided by AnQi. "The wine, food and company were wonderful, and the Black & White Ball will be an evening not to miss," declared the hostess. It made for an excellent start to a worthy effort.

Type: Desserts and Baked Goods
Bananas are the perfect companion to sticky and sweet caramel.
Prep Time: 15M
Cooking Time: 35M
Serves: Serves 6
- 5 tbsp butter, cut into pieces
- 2/3 cup light corn syrup
- 4 firm-but-ripe medium bananas
- half of a 17.3oz (425g) box frozen puff pastry sheets (1 sheet), thawed as package directs
- all-purpose flour for dusting
Save Recipe
Add to shopping list
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Combine the butter and syrup in a small, heavy saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat until the butter has melted and the mixture is smooth, then allow to bubble for 1 minute. Pour into an 8in (20cm) round ceramic tart dish or pan (not loose-bottomed), turning the dish to coat the bottom evenly. Peel the bananas and cut into slices 1/2in (1cm) thick, then arrange them neatly on top of the syrup mixture-this will be the top of the tart when it's turned out. Place the dish on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, on a lightly floured work surface, roll the pastry into a circle about 9in (23cm) in diameter and 1/4in (5mm) thick. Trim off any excess pastry.
- Carefully remove the tart from the oven and place the pastry circle on top. Use the handle of a knife to tuck the edge down into the pan. Bake the tart for another 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown. Let stand for 5-10 minutes, then place a serving plate on top and invert the tart onto the plate. Cut into wedges and serve with vanilla ice cream.
- The caramel gets very hot. Take great care not to touch it when you're topping the bananas with the pastry or inverting the tart.

Advice on purchasing a portable generator for camping?
Looking at buying a portable generator for camping / running a CPAP when we go camping (yes this sucks and it will be loud but other alternatives seem slim)
Anything I should / know slash advice
5 Answers answer
I have heard people tell of generators that "lock up" from inactivity, so my advice would be to run it occasionally if you buy one.
EU2000 or EU3000 are the best you can get for a camp site and they are really quite and they produce clean energy that has no peeks or drops in voltage so you can run electronics or other sensitive equipment with no problem. Also it's a Honda so you know its dependable. They are pretty pricey but you really can't beat the technology. Yamaha makes a solid one too.
I see you also asked about battery power in another question, sport.woot.com has something you should look at. As far as a generator is concerned, any small generator will fit the bill for a CPAP and small ones can be pretty quiet, but they are not silent. Another thought would be to have an inverter plugged into the your auto battery and run an extension cord to your CPAP. You could also go "camping" in a motor home or travel trailer which would have the extra battery power and probably a generator built in. RV's can be rented, have real beds in them, and do a better job of keeping the creepy crawlies away.
Ask and you shall receive ! Thanks woot gods and notovarsk for heads up
@nortonsark - I am totally on the side of having the RV but we are headed out to the yet unsettled family ranch so getting the RV out is pretty tricky I am told. There are some camp trailers which we will use but the power is limited. Though I did snag one of those power packs you recommended so we'll see how that works out.

DayZ creator Dean Hall to "eventually" leave Bohemia after work is completeWritten by: / / No Comments
There's a fair bit of buzz doing the rounds this afternoon surrounding Dean Hall, the creator of the ultra popular zombie survival mod DayZ, and his supposed departure from Bohemia Interactive in Prague.
After creating the mod using Bohemia Interactive's Arma II, Hall began working with the developers towards the tail-end of 2012 to create a version of DayZ that could eventually be sold as a standalone game, with various tweaks and major improvements planned for the future.
Earlier this year, and following the release of the standalone version of DayZ on Steam Early Access, the game rocketed to one million units sold in under four weeks. While a major milestone for Hall and the team at Bohemia Interactive, there's still more work to do with a beta version of DayZ Standalone not expected until next year.
Now today, Eurogamer ran an interview with Hall in which it makes it seem as though he will be leaving Bohemia in the very near future to start a new team and begin work on a new project – during the interview, Hall said of his role on the DayZ project:
"I am a grenade. I have a specific use. I'm really good at risk-taking and making other people take risks, I've always been good at that in my life. Like you say, maybe I've got the gift of the gab, so I can talk, I can explain something, I can talk people up to the ledge and get them to jump off it.
"That's what I did with DayZ; I've done it twice now [once with the mod, again with the standalone] – two new code teams have separately done it.
"But eventually, that's the bad person to have. Eventually, you don't want the guy telling you to go over the top and get through. So at some point I'll be a disaster for the project, at least in a leadership role."
After the news broke, Hall received a number of supportive, angry and bitter Twitter messages, to which he replied:
@Ethoxyethaan I'm still working for another whole year, and more if needed. All I've said is that eventually, I want to do something else 🙂
— Dean Hall (@rocket2guns) February 24, 2014
@gibbonofdoom Well I still have a whole, big, long, year of work left 😛
— Dean Hall (@rocket2guns) February 24, 2014
While the Eurogamer story made it sound as though Hall was on the verge of leaving Bohemia to start a new studio in his homeland of New Zealand, it looks as though the fiery developer will remain in Prague for the foreseeable future.

There's a big heavy round table in the space.
It has a Zytouch capacaitive touch screen built into it, and a small x86 embedded system underneath that..
It runs a VIA Eden board with a code name 'Esther' processor on it. It clocks at 400mHz but cat /proc/cpuinfo shows it may be able to go up to 1Ghz (with active cooling?)
It has a hard drive with Ubuntu 10.04 installed on it. The generic install works fine out of the box, but optimizations for an older memory and speed limited system would never hurt.
It needs some Zytouch driver love, which may come from here: http://www.mega-nerd.com/erikd/Blog/CodeHacking/zytouch-driver.html
to do:
move most of this page to discussion
get the touch system running and reattach the heavy table to the base and put it somewhere people can use it and experiment with it.

I've been beating my head against this one for a few days now. We have a two weeks' worth of daily backup snapshots of our production mysql data dir (i.e. the actual binary files, not sql dumps) and I need to restore a table from one of the backups so we can compare it to what we have now.
So I created a dummy schema directory and extracted the relevant table files (.MYI, .MYD and .frm) and restarted mysql. It shows up, I can "show tables", but if I try to interact with it in any way ("desc tablename", "select...", etc) I get:
Can't find file: './schema_name/table_name.frm' (errno: 13)
[ed: real names sanitized]
Errno 13 is permissions so I double-checked everything. The directory and files have the same owner and group (mysql:mysql) as all the other schemas. They also have the same perms (700 on the dir, 660 on the files). Looking at "ls -n" the uids also match up exactly.
Most recently I have tried doing a full extract of a different backup and then linking it into the mysql data dir (there's not enough room on that volume to extract the full thing) and I get the same error. I've also tried pointing mysql's data dir in my.cnf to the dir holding the backup and restarting. It built out the mysql tables that needed to be there but I still got the same error.
The only thing I can find through googling is people who had this problem because of actual ownership or permission errors, which does not seem to be the case for me. I've also found some remark in passing about a UMASK env variable that can result in this error but I think that has to do with fresh installs, which this is not.

The lovely bones
Paul Koudounaris and the catacomb saints
By David Cotner 10/17/2013
It's somewhat staggering to consider where your bones might be in 1,500 years.
Art history professor Paul Koudounaris has, for the better part of the past decade, circled the globe in his quest to photograph the centuries-old phenomenon of skeletons interred in crypts, ossuaries and charnel houses. They're placed there for various reasons: devotion, disease, deification. Modern-day mausoleums are a pale echo of this tradition. Koudounaris cuts a singular figure: imagine Indiana Jones in fur instead of a fedora, snapping pictures instead of a whip. That's Paul Koudounaris. He will be speaking in Ojai next week.
His first book, Empire of Death: A Cultural History of Ossuaries and Charnel Houses (Thames & Hudson), spans 224 pages of notes on a netherworld in which an architecture of bone holds sway, shot through with images rarely or never before seen by the public. The most notorious example of his field of study is the ossuaries brimming with countless bones beneath the streets of Paris.
The titular corpses of his latest book, Heavenly Bodies: Cult Treasures and Spectacular Saints from the Catacombs (also Thames & Hudson) were discovered in 1578 in a hidden labyrinth of catacombs beneath Rome.
At the Vatican, Pope Gregory XIII (pope, 1575-1585) and his advisers considered how best to use this new currency of supposed early Christian martyrs. Vatican officials found that they could increase the reach of the Catholic Church in Europe by using these putative martyrs in new churches under construction throughout a theological frontier that had been ravaged of relics by Protestant wars of devotion. Clothing the corpses in finery and jewels, they became saints with new names and new powers, installed in the churches as physical manifestations of the divine.
Seeing is believing, after all.
For 300 years, the ruse held, until modern skepticism led the Church to remove the suddenly sullied saints and hide them away or destroy them. The Church has had many secrets over the centuries — the catacomb saints were just one more to put into hiding, surrendered to the earth once again just as they had been all those centuries before.
Who cares about the forgotten dead, anyway?
"The first book was about the anonymous dead, that the bone rooms had power because they reminded us of mortality," Koudounaris told VCReporter. "After we all die, we are one-and-the-same. Death is the great leveler. But death doesn't level these people, these catacomb saints. There was attempt to give these people specificity, a very specific identity. It's all a fraud. They weren't actually martyrs and they were not actually saints."
They could have been paupers, or, as he points out, they could have been pagans. Pagans and Jews were buried in the Roman catacombs as well — catacombs that began as pagan burial places. So how did the agents of the Vatican know which bodies to deify? "One of the things they would look for," he explained, "was the letter "M." If they found a letter "M" on a funerary plaque or broken piece of crockery, they thought that "M" must be an abbreviation for martyr."
"M" was also, coincidentally enough, an abbreviation for the most popular name in all of Rome: Marcus. "S" was a popular abbreviation as well. "S" meant sang and sang meant blood, but "S" could also mean Saturn. So maybe we have guys named Marcus who worshipped Saturn.
Essentially, these bodies were sent out to Catholic churches as an extra added attraction for the faithful, a kind of public relations for the Church. The Protestants said relics were no good. One of the ways the Catholic Church tried to affirm its identity during the Protestant Reformation was by promoting anything the Protestants denied. It's a bit like Coke vs. Pepsi.
"The Catholics knew that relics always had an appeal to the laity, and they have a sense of awe around them," explained Koudounaris. The Catholics knew that this was a way of drawing particularly superstitious people back into the Church by showing them this display of absolute grandeur and saying, "This is the reward that God gives for those who serve him. That reward, given to this particular individual, is also standing here, as an intercessor on your behalf. This skeleton standing before you is also a tangible bridge to supernatural power, because as a relic of a saint, if you venerate this thing properly, good things will happen to you."
Koudounaris is planning a talk in Ojai that isn't just a reading from the book itself. The book, he reveals, "Was confined by certain editorial constraints. There's some material that is absolutely wonderful for the audience, just in terms of the way people interacted with the skeletons. It's a little bit more about the intimate and personal relationships people had with them."
While it might be slightly distasteful to consider intimate relations with a corpse, the reality is nothing quite so dramatic, Koudounaris says. "There's a certain folklore surrounding all of them by virtue of the fact that they were thought to be heavenly bodies."
Those bodies were imbued with special powers of a particular pedestrian variety: the ghost of St. Maximus became a cat, protecting people in the city. As for sterilizing animals, St. Albertus was your man. Not even foul odor — something of a serious business in the Middle Ages — was beneath the power of the saints. "These saints were part of the community," Koudounaris says, adding "They were dead members of a community, but they were part of a community and they had a function to fulfill. There were two skeletons in the same church, St. Faustus and St. Candida, and people would venerate those relics under the assumption that the smell would be removed. That's the personal relationship these saints had to the community in which they were placed and, for centuries, thrived."
Dr. Paul Koudounaris' lecture "Heavenly Bodies: Spectacular Jeweled Skeletons" on Thursday, Oct. 24, 6:30 p.m. at the Ojai Public Library, 111 E. Ojai Ave., 646-1639.

It is an opportunity for students to immerse themselves in a working environment and apply and reflect upon their classroom experience in the real world.
By the end of their time at Bennington, students will have completed four FWTs and have acquired a body of work experiences, a set of references, a network of professional contacts, and most important, the confidence that they can make their way in the world.
The Department of Homeland Security regulations affect FWT options for international students during their first year. International students on F1 visas who have been in the country for less than nine months are generally* not eligible to work off-campus in the United States for any type of compensation—including pay, room and board, academic credit, graduation requirements, etc. As such, FWT options for first-year international students include:
First-year students who want to volunteer at a nonprofit organization are allowed to do so, but not for FWT. Due to F1 visa requirements, first-year international students are not able to receive any form of remuneration (housing, meals, transportation passes, etc) nor apply volunteer work towards an academically-required FWT, as any of the above would be considered a form of compensation and would violate visa regulations. In short, volunteering in the US without any form of compensation is allowed, but it is not an option for students to fulfill their first FWT requirement.
Curricular Practical Training (CPT) allows students the opportunity to work at off-campus internships while in the US if such work is a required part of a student's program of study. After nine months of full-time residency in the United States, international students can take regular FWT jobs (paid or unpaid) as part of their CPT. International students should speak with Bennington's DSO, Kate Child, regarding timelines and forms related to securing CPT in time for the start of a summer deferred FWT.
As described on the Department of Homeland Security Website, CPT requirements are stated as:
International students who secure work as an intern with a recognized international organization as described above can do so without it impacting one's CPT allotment.
Note: First-year international students who remain in F1 status and who leave the US to complete their first FWT abroad will still be eligible to work for compensation through Curricular Practical Training at the end of their first nine-month academic year.
International students who are unable to return home, unable to travel or stay with friends or relatives over FWT, or who have an on-campus job during January and February, do have the option of securing on-campus housing for the winter period. Campus housing over FWT is not part of a student's regular room and board fee, but is offered at a discounted price and is often less expensive than international travel. After fall classes end, international students may temporarily stay in their fall term housing until their winter housing is ready for them to move in, usually by January 2 (if not earlier). Winter housing technically runs from January 2 through February 19, 2016, although students may be permitted to move into their spring term housing earlier. Students will be notified in a timely manner by Student Life with the pertinent moving dates.
Housing rates are offered at different rates for single and double rooms: FWT 2016 rates are anticipated to be $650 for a single and $500 for a double. During FWT, many campus services available during fall and spring term are not open, including the dining halls and Health Services. Access to other campus buildings is limited and administrative offices maintain an abbreviated schedule. Since there is no meal plan available over the winter period, students staying on campus prepare their own meals in the kitchenettes of their assigned house and must cover their own food expenses. Shuttles are available through Green Mountain Express to take students to a local grocery store and to downtown Bennington.
Students wishing to secure campus housing for the winter period need to apply to the Office of Student Life by November 13, 2015. Applications are available at the front desk in the Student Life Office. A deposit of $50 is required by December 4 in order to reserve a room. Questions regarding housing on campus over FWT can be directed to Jenna Goldstein, Assistant Director of Housing, Office of Student Life.
A complete list of FWT-related resources is available on the College's website under Student Resource. Here students will find planning guides, important dates, FWT Office resources and much more. (The FWT Handbook and linked resources are updated annually by the first day of fall classes.)
Students can also direct any questions to the FWT Office at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 802-440-4331. The FWT and Career Development Office is located in Barn 112. Once on campus, students are also welcome to drop by to ask questions.
Bennington College's primary designated student officer (PDSO) is Kate Child, Director for First-Year Experience and International Student Services. She can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com and her office is in Barn 120.

Many men and women returning from military duty after World War II faced a daunting challenge — getting a job in a competitive market.
In 1948, an employment agency called Manpower opened in Milwaukee to help good workers and businesses find each other.
Today there are 4,000 offices in more than 80 countries, from Argentina to Vietnam. The Louisville area has three offices, with additional locations in southern Indiana and Elizabethtown.
In 2010 alone, 3.5 million people around the world who registered with Manpower found jobs.
"I've been in the staffing industry for 14 years, and with Manpower for the past three, and the changes I've seen have been huge," said Rhonda Woody, branch manager in the office at 1221 Hurstbourne Parkway. "Employers and people seeking jobs used to find each other through newspaper ads. Then online job posting became possible, and now there's Facebook and Twitter. The job-search market continues to evolve quickly, and Manpower is changing with it to help employers and workers alike."
The parent corporation recently became ManpowerGroup, a name which reflects the fact that there are several divisions handling a wide range of tasks, from matching employers with new employees to providing consulting services and helping displaced workers make the transition to other worksites.
The core division remains Manpower, which focuses on temporary and temporary-to-permanent placement.
"Technology has changed everything," she said. "Instead of filling out paperwork in our office, people can apply online at manpowerjobs.com and create an account for themselves from home. They can look through our job boards to see what openings we have, and do assessments that evaluate their skills. That's especially nice for those who can't get away from their desks to go on a job search."
Associates can take advantage of more than 6,000 free courses through a training and development center, and even earn accreditation in certain fields.
Those resources also enable clients who hire associates to offer additional training and testing.
Rhonda pointed out that Manpower is one of the few agencies that offer healthcare to their temporary workforce; short-term disability coverage is also available.
"More and more people are temping as their career, because it can give them flexibility with benefits," she said. "Someone who has just moved here can temp to get a sense of what companies are around, searching for a good fit without committing. Recent college graduates and stay-at-home moms who want additional income are temping, too."
Job-seekers often feel isolated when out of work, but they can receive reassuring support from advisors who "unlock doors and offer opportunities that otherwise wouldn't be provided, by giving them more feet on the ground, more eyes on the job," she said. "In this competitive job market, those extra edges can make all the difference."
ManpowerGroup itself tends to weather bad economic times well, because its diverse roster of clients ensures lots of eggs in many baskets: Although one industry may be lagging, requiring fewer hires, another may be on an upswing and need additional staff.
"The staffing industry is among the first to spot a downturn in the economy, but also to see things pick back up," she said. "Right now, businesses are cautiously optimistic. They're hopeful and testing the waters. Our research indicates that most are planning to do more hiring this year."
The world has had its Stone Age and its Industrial Age, but ManpowerGroup believes we are in the Human Age.
"The economy has been making companies downsize to the point that one person may have to do the work of three," Rhonda explained. "It's the talent your company has that will make the difference. Are your people the right fit? Will they drive your business forward? This is an interesting and challenging time for all of us."

Hi Guys
I have decided to go with the NN5 Stand Alone at this time based upon my budget. I had the following questions:
1. What quick plate do I need if I use an Acratech Ultimate Ballhead?
2. I use the Manfrotto 055CXPRO3 legs that has a spirit level on the base of where the thread mount is for the ballhead. What major advantages does the EZ Leveler II provide?
Thanks in advance,

It says that a persons potential keeps rising as his spiritual level rises. If so, how does a person reach his potential?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Potential is a tool and perhaps an analog to how one is doing in his service of Hashem. If one reached his potential, for him that would be perfection and he would have no true purpose left in life. The goal is to strive to fulfill the potential and never stop.
the potential referred to is not intellectual or accumulative. It is a level of relationship with G-D and depends upon one's Shoresh Haneshama. To Expect Ruach Hakodesh from piety means not assessing one's potential properly. In deed there is no limit to one's maasim.However,one cannot create a temperment that another has. If you need sleep, don't try what the Vilner Gaon did.Nor should a person try to fast etc... A good madrich for those without a Rebbe is Hilchos Dayos of the Rambam-after one has read the first 6 prakim of the Shmoneh Prakim le'HoRambam.

GETTING TWO — From left, Indian Creek's Shane Winland, Zach Connor, Tyler Sharpe and Montel McClelland celebrate a safety late in the first half of Friday's 54-22 win over Union Local on Homecoming at Kettlewell Stadium. The Redskins are 5-1 and visit Martins Ferry next week.
He even kicked a 20-yard field goal.
"Alex is a great athlete," Indian Creek head coach Andrew Connor related. "We want to get him in space as much as we can and tonight we did a good job of getting him in some situations where he could make plays. Other times, Alex's natural ability just took over."
Union Local head coach Mark Cisar agreed.

PASSING: 8-18-125-3x-td (Porter, 8-17-125-2x-td; Tipton, 0-1-0-x-0.) IC -6-18-99-x-td (all by Young).
RECEIVING: UL - (Ware, 1-4; Blake, 2-0; Dunfee, 3-30; James, 1-8; McDiffitt, 2-79-td). IC - (Lawrence, 2-61; Kamarec, 2-22-td; Goodrich, 2-16.).
"Young is an athlete," Cisar commented. "He was able to break a couple of big plays and turn a small gain into a big one. He just really stands out when you watch Indian Creek play."
Young finished with just four carries but turned them into 132 yards and three touchdowns. He also added 99 passing stripes and a score and returned a kickoff 90 yards for another score.
The win improved Indian Creek to 5-1 on the season. The Redskins will face a stiff test next week travelling to Martins Ferry Friday night.
"Obviously with it being Homecoming there are some distractions," Connor said. "Sometimes we forget that these are high-school aged kids, but they had great focus all week at practice and came out tonight and got after it."
Union Local, meanwhile, fell to 1-5 on the season. The Jets will host Buckeye Local Friday night.
"Turnovers killed us," Cisar said. "We moved the ball at times, but we just turned the ball over way too many times against a very good team. Indian Creek has a real nice team."
Young got the scoring started from 70 yards out. The senior turned a third-and-nine pass play into a rushing score at the 8:01 mark of the first quarter. His two-point run made it 8-0 Creek.
Young was back at it later in the first with a 35-yard scamper. He added the extra point to push the lead to 15-0.
After Tyler Sharpe forced a fumble and teammate Shane Winland covered, Indian Creek tacked on a 20-yard field goal from Young to make it 18-0.
Senior Logan Woods, who finished with 80 yards on the ground, scored from a yard out at the 7:52 mark of the second quarter. Young's PAT made it 25-0.
After Indian Creek recorded a safety for intentional grounding in the end zone, Young found classmate Frank Kamarec for a 7-yard TD play. Young booted the point after and it was 34-0 at the half.
Union Local got on the board on the opening kick of the second half when talented junior Eric Dunfee broke loose for a 72-yard TD. Dunfee's PAT was true and it 34-7.
The Jets covered the surprise onside kick and was back in business. However, sophomore Zach Connor picked off a pass on the very next play to kill the Jets momentum.
Young pushed the lead to 41-7 with a seven yard scamper. Foreign exchange student Fernando Prestes, a Brazilian, booted the point after.
Dunfee returned the ensuing kickoff 76 yards to the Creek 6-yard line, but the Jets would have to settle for a 25-yard field goal from Dunfee making the score 41-10.
The Jets kept battling, after forcing a IC punt, sophomore signal caller Gavin Porter let loose a pretty pass down the sideline to freshman Kaleb McDiffitt for a 71-yard score. The kick failed and it was 41-16.
The ensuing kickoff found Young at his 10-yard line and the speedster made one cut and hit the sideline, made one man miss and cruised to the end zone. Later, senior Rick Hinerman busted in from 2 yards out to cap the Indian Creek scoring.
UL closed the scoring at the 11:15 mark of the fourth quarter with a 23-yard run by Dunfee.
"Any time you can get 58 players into the game it's good for your program," Connor said. "The experience those kids get under the lights in game situations is great. You can not duplicate that experience in practice.
"We want to win the battle on the offensive and defensive lines. That is what we want Creek football to be about and tonight we did a good job of that."

There are three parallel metal plates. Two boundary plates are fixed and connected with a galvanic battery, maintained a constant potential difference $\Delta \varphi$. Middle plate was initially in contact with one of the end plates. Then, using an insulating handle, it began to move toward the other plate. Ignoring boundary effects, find the field strengths E1, E2 in the gaps between the plates, depending on the varying distance x.
Answer: $$ E_{1} = \frac{\Delta \varphi x}{d^{2}}, \quad E_{2} = \frac{\Delta \varphi (x + d)}{d^{2}}, $$
where d is the distance between boundary plates.
I don't know how the moving plate affect to the measure of field strengths. Can you help me?

Answered: extjs 4.1 tree refresh a specific nodeI would like to refresh a node of a tree.I try something like that to refresh the root and it worked:
this.getStore('MyTreeStore').load({ params: { id: this.getId().getValue()} });
If you want to load a particular node, then pass a node/record object in the store's load() call. This will load the data of that node (similar to an expand request of the node).
this.getStore('MyTreeStore').load({ node: someNode});
21 May 2012 1:39 AM #2
21 May 2012 5:50 AM #3
Why just not:
PHP Code:
var rowId = 1,
columnDataIndex = 1,
node = treepanel.getStore().getNodeById(rowId);
node.set(columnDataIndex, value);
21 May 2012 7:01 AM #4
but it will make an update request, is it possible without that ? Just make a GET request to the server for a specific node.
21 May 2012 10:42 PM #5
I don't understand you. This node is specified by rowId and columnId. It node.set will update only this one node.
22 May 2012 3:32 AM #6
Yes but it change the data of my node and I don't want to change the data, I just want to refresh.
Is there any other way to make a refresh rather than update the node ?
23 May 2012 1:44 AM #7
If you want to load a particular node, then pass a node/record object in the store's load() call. This will load the data of that node (similar to an expand request of the node).
this.getStore('MyTreeStore').load({ node: someNode});
23 May 2012 2:52 AM #8
Thanks it works. I just have another question.
When I reload the node and the name changed. The tree node keeps the old name, actually it's the "text" property. Should I put the record property under a specific property or is the response correct ?
{ text: 'New Name', children: [array with child nodes], success: true }
I think it's related to the issue: http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthre...server-changes
23 May 2012 3:32 AM #9
The load() call works just for loading the child nodes of the tree (similar to expanding the node - it doesn't change the expanded node's properties, but gets the child tree nodes). To get the new name, you might want to consider loading the parent tree node (but this loads all its child nodes and might not be an efficient solution).
If you know the new name before hand, then you use the following -
node.set('text', 'New Name'); node.commit();
25 May 2012 6:51 AM #10
Thanks for your answer that's inspired me.
Ext.data.Operation.override({ setCompleted: function() { this.complete = true; this.running = false; if (this.action === 'read' && this.node && this.response) { data = Ext.decode(this.response.responseText); if (Ext.isObject(data.node)) { for (var key in data.node) { this.node.set(key, data.node[key]); } this.node.commit(); } } } });
The server just need to send a response like that:
{ node: { text: 'New Name' }, children: [array with child nodes], success: true }

A new Christmas event intended to bring group tours to Nebraska City has sold out with 112 guests expected.
The Twelve Days of Christmas Brunch, scheduled Dec. 1 at the Farmers Bank, features a 12-course meal with each food item related to a day of the traditional English song, beginning with a partridge in a pear tree.
The event includes a Victorian Christmas presentation by Sue McClain of the Nebraska Humanities, a tour of the Wildwood Historic Home and music by concert pianist Patricia Starr.
Betty Stukenholtz, who volunteered with Joan Dawson to promote bus tours for Nebraska City Tourism and Commerce, said the brunch a great way to learn more about the 12 days of Christmas, revive some old Christmas traditions and kick off the holiday season.
She said McClain's presentation is a big draw and is well suited to the Victorian theme of the Wildwood House. All the activities associated with the new Yule Fest, the J. Sterling Morton Questers and the Women's Welcome Wagon of Lincoln also helped fill seats.
"I can't believe how many people are coming. It is just coming together so well," Stukenholtz said.
Contributing to the menu are Chris's Cuisine, Monkey Business, Sweet Expressions Bakery, Valentinos, Avenue Grill, Sam's, Johnny's Corner Cafe and Janie's Confections.
Rebecca Turner of NCTC said the full house, which is mostly comprised of visitors from Omaha and Lincoln, is encouraging.
"We want people to associate Nebraska City with a third festival," she said. "The tour group promoters have built in a lot of time for shopping, so it's a great way to bolster the season."

A sexy horror film with a wicked sense of humor, Jennifer's Body is about small town high school student Jennifer (Megan Fox), who is possessed by a hungry demon. She transitions from being "high school evil" – gorgeous (and doesn't she know it), stuck up and ultra-attitudinal – to the real deal: evil/evil. The glittering beauty becomes a pale and sickly creature jonesing for a meaty snack, and guys who never stood a chance with the heartless babe, take on new luster in the light of Jennifer's insatiable appetite. Meanwhile, Jennifer's lifelong best friend Needy (Amanda Seyfried), long relegated to living in Jennifer's shadow, must step-up to protect the town's young men, including her nerdy boyfriend Chip (Johnny Simmons).

I want to extend a very special thank you to these businesses with the hope that they will be the school's partners for the long term: FACS Law, Greco-Hertnick Funeral Home, Mainstream Physical Therapy, Weirton Medical Center, Hancock County Savings Bank, Lyles Auto, First Choice Federal Credit Union, Project B.ES.T., Tri-State Medical Supply and the National Gold and Silver Refinery. These VIP sponsors and business partners are highlighted on our scoreboard and at the entrance to the stadium.
Weir High School especially thanks the residents of Hancock County who have made it possible for our students to enjoy this great facility for eras to come.
Dan Enich II
Principal, Weir High School
