text: Been off for awhile now and so, I decided on making another tut. This one is a little different from my previous ones. Usually I know the characters I draw but I've only heard of Miku here and there, just a tiny bit. So, I know lots of people love her and she's super popular, that I decided on experimenting with her as my next tut. Enjoy, folks! Oh, and the light colors in the back are nothing. I was trying to use color pencil and then forgot I was going to make this a tut. So, I did the best I could to fade the colors.

This simply isn't true: the venue's employee works for the venue, and their first priority will be to make sure everything the venue is responsible for happens smoothly. When you have questions in the months leading up to your wedding, it isn't their responsibility to come up with answers. If on your wedding day your dress tears, you forget the toasting glasses, or the floral arrangements arrive all wrong, the venue's coordinator may not be able to help. Not that they won't care – and many, if time permits, will do their best to be of assistance in these emergencies. But, ultimately, those things just aren't their problem. They will be busy making sure the room is set right, the bars are stocked properly, and the kitchen is on schedule. So, don't assume that you'll be able to lean on your venue's staff for extra help. No matter how much they might want to, often, they simply can't: it's just not in their job description.
(And, to those who say, "but, I'm paying a lot of money for this venue – they are working for me!" True, to a point – your event's fees will cover a portion of the on-site Coordinator's salary this week. But, they will still be there next week, another event will be in that room, and their paycheck will still have the venue's name on it. Their final loyalty and responsibility must lie with their employer.)
So, if you want someone to be there on your wedding day who will be focused on you and making everything run smooth-as-silk – hire a Wedding Planner.

Is there a way to detect the insertion of an SD card so it would be possible to automatically move specific files (photos in subdirectory) to another location? I do not want a photo application to take control. Even better, when I put the card in, I get asked whether to move the files. I would like the files to be moved directly to a shared folder..
From this question on SuperUser, try MarcoPolo
Or, you could use folder actions.

Let's say I work at my most productive hours and I do a lot of work. At a certain point, I will become tired. Self-discipline might make me work for another hour or so but after that the quality of the work will start to suffer.
I could do small stuff that doesn't require my full attention. Like doing little household chores.
Eventually, there comes a time when I have to relax. I don't want to watch the some crappy television program, because that doesn't bring me any further to my goals.
Which relaxation options can I use to re-energize myself, that are still usefull and don't make me any more tired?

I dont know if at all i make any sense, but this popped up in my mind. Can we use the 2gb free hosting of dropbox to put our django app over there and do some hacks to run our app?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
The point you need to understand is: can you run django without djagno installed? Can django be installed on a usb-drive? Dropbox is but a cloud storage service NOT cloud hosting service. To store you do not require RAM and processors while for hosting you do.
Hence the answer is NO. If you are okay with configuring apache etc. you can go for VPS. If not try some managed servers. If you dont want to spend much and are looking at free hosting solutions for django a few of them are:
more data: http://freedjangohosting.com/
No, it's not possible.
If you want to use dropbox as the hosting, you can put static pages, meaning just the html files with CSS and javascript because those files can be retrieved by doing a simple GET request.
Hosting a python code is not possible as it requires server side calculations & dropbox is just for saving files.
See the official wiki for the available hosts. https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/DjangoFriendlyWebHosts
Yes its possible! PythonAnywhere.com offers that!
What pythonanywhere does is pretty simple. They integrate your dropbox account with their one. When you want to create a Django app, all you got to do is, direct the platform to store the app in your dropbox folder!
Now, you can open your Django app in your PC and edit it (wait for some time to sync)..restart the app, it works! I practically tried.
Tip: There are many cloud platforms which offer great services for free. Openshift, Heroku, Google App Engine are to name a few!
No, you can't use DropBox to serve a Django Website, as doing so requires Python code to be run, when DropBox is only for saving & serving files.
You can, however, find free hosting for your Django needs, among which:
Heroku, originally meant for Ruby hosting, but now allows you to do Python hosting. I didn't find it particularly easy to use with Django though.
ep.io, Python-specific hosting, but invite-only for the moment - it's possible to get an invite by sending an email, explaining your project & your needs though. Offers you free SSL on *.ep.io, which is pretty nice, and they've got great service.
Dotcloud, not platform specific, but my personal favorite. It's pretty easy to get started, and the CLI allows you to do a lot (but the downside is that you need it a lot too). If you're not afraid of CLI, it's great.
Being said its not possible from dropbox to do that you can use very simple cloud hosting as told ahead, I might be late for answer but you can get free cloud hosting from Linux Fedora company called RedHat. Their cloud product is available for free which supports django hosting. I tried it my own Openshift Free Cloud Hosting
In addition to what Thomas posted, some other options for free django hosting:

Budget Mod Motor Build - The Mod Motor RocksWritten by John McGann on April 1, 2010 Contributors: Nick McKinney, Courtesy Ford Racing and Performance Parts Shed Those Pushrods And Embrace The Future. The Cobra Guys Have Known All Along That The Mod Motor Rocks
What were you doing in 1991? The Gulf War was waged, Rodney King got a beat down, the Pittsburgh Penguins won their first Stanley Cup, the Minnesota Twins won the World Series, and Ford Motor Co. dropped the first 4.6L single overhead cam, two-valve-per-cylinder modular V-8 engine into a Lincoln Town Car, thus beginning its phasing out of the pushrod V-8.
The early mod motor was almost universally panned. As it rolled out across the other FoMoCo car lines, the critics became louder and more numerous. The most vociferous among them were Mustang owners, who largely despised the engine. The '96 Mustang, the first to boast mod motor power, carried the same 215hp rating as the previous year's car, the last with the venerable Five-Oh engine, but you wouldn't know by driving it. The power delivery was differ-ent from that of the outgoing pushrod engine, it had less low-end grunt, and it needed to rev higher to reach its powerband. As the Europeans are quick to point out, this situation is intolerable to Americans who demand the instant torque needed to win stoplight drag race wars. Mod motor Mustangs were getting their asses handed to them at intersections all across the country by smug Camaro and Firebird owners who had 275 hp from 350ci LT1s.
Ford responded by rolling out versions with more horsepower, but the company was a little too slow in doing so, and the unfortunate gutless, complicated, expensive stigma surrounding this engine remains in some segments to this day. One could argue that Ford may have prevented this by introducing the 280hp four-valve version first and putting it straight into the Mustang. Such was not the case, though, and the engine has struggled to gain the hearts of the masses. Compounding the problem, the aftermarket was slow to embrace the modular V-8, and that has kept many enthusiasts from building these engines. With the introduction of Trick Flow's two-valve heads, we think the tide is changing and that we'll be seeing more of the mod motor in performance applications.
This article is an overview of the performance potential of the mod motor. We received expert advice from the guys at Modular Mustang Racing (MMR) and Modular Head Shop. They gave us a few build options to consider and warned us of some traps to avoid along the way. This engine is a worthy platform and is capable of making an impressive amount of power. Let's investigate.

|5.4L Engines
|Cubic inches
|Bore spacing
|Deck height
|Main journal diameter
|Rod length
|Bare block weight, iron
|154 pounds
|Bare block weight, aluminum
|86 pounds
Note that the bore and bore spacing are the same for the 4.6 and 5.4. Therefore, any cylinder head will fit on any block. You do need to check the head gaskets, though. The oil holes may be in different locations and could cause oil to leak into the coolant. Your best bet is to use Ford Racing's head gaskets.
Performance 2V Build No. 1
We talked with Modular Head Shop's Nick McKinney at length about his recommendations for a performance build. He told us nearly 60 percent of his customers are early Mustang, Crown Vic, Thunderbird, and Cougar owners. Since these are predominately two-valve cars, he's something of a 2V specialist and has several combinations he recommends to suit his customers' budgets. On his website, McKinney lists a parts combination that will make at least 300 hp at the wheels. Best of all, it costs less than $2,500, including new gaskets, timing chain tensioners, and sprockets. It's basically a cam, head, and intake swap, so you can reuse your bottom end. Assuming everything is in good shape, the stock reciprocating assembly will easily handle the increased power. We'll highlight some of the parts here.
You will bend your intake valves for sure if you run an aggressive camshaft. McKinney told us proper cam timing is critical. He recommended maintaining a 0.035-inch piston-to-valve clearance, and it is easy to exceed this spec. For example, installing a popular street cam with 225 degrees duration at a 112-degree intake centerline will give you 0.070 inch of clearance. Advancing that same cam 2 degrees to 110 will give you 0.035 inch of clearance. Advance it 2 more degrees to 108, and you will only have 0.005 inch of clearance. The problem is that these engines like more intake valve timing, and a popular option is to have the pistons notched for intake valve clearance. You can send McKinney your pistons and he'll notch them for $129. It's also a good idea to replace the intake valves with aftermarket ones without the perimeter ring. McKinney also stressed that the cam timing should always be checked. He said the factory timing sprockets are notoriously inaccurate and can be off by as much as 4 degrees either advanced or retarded. Degree your cams when assembling the engine. If the timing is off, you'll need to buy a set of zeroed or adjustable gears. Rounding out the 300hp combo, you can reuse your factory PI intake and add both a JLT intake with a 90mm mass airflow sensor and a performance exhaust system with a pair of long-tube headers: simple, cheap, and effective. If you still have some extra money to spend, McKinney recommends building all this on top of an aluminum 4V block out of a Mark VIII. In stock configuration, these were 10.0:1 engines. With PI heads, your compression ratio will be almost 12.0:1. That plus the nearly 80-pound weight advantage of the aluminum block will give you even better performance at the track. Whether you use the aluminum block or not, with this combination you'll be making more power at the wheels than the Camaro and Mustang guys are making at the crank.

Performance 2V Build No. 2
MMR's TWO-Valve Street Thrasher Modular Mustang Racing is about two hours away from our offices, so we spent several hours poking around its shop for some more build ideas. Engine builder Alex Clochiatti outlined a cool build for us, which is a variant of the Street Mod 600 long-block the company sells as a crate engine on its website. This build starts with a new 4.6 block, a cast crank with forged rods and pistons, new PI heads, degreed PI cams, and ARP fasteners. This combination sells for $4,499.
The MMR 4V build
MMR's Rick Antonette told us that building a four-valve engine out of a two-valve engine is really no big deal. "Any cylinder head will go on any block. You just need to match the rest of the components to the block and head combination you choose." This is because some of the cam gears, chain tensioners, and timing covers are different from engine to engine. So pick your short-block (MMR recommends a stroker if you're building a 4.6) and add a set of heads.
Build It
We hope this article has given you a better look at the potential lurking within the relatively tiny 281 ci of Ford's modular V-8. We only scratched the surface, though, so we recommend readers hungry for more mod motor information read How To Build Max Performance 4.6-Liter Ford Engines by Sean Hyland and Building 4.6/5.4L Ford Horsepower on the Dyno by Richard Holdener. Both books are published by SA Design and provide a lot of excellent information that we couldn't fit in the space allotted this month. Also, go online to modularfords.com and search the forums. There's a lot of good info there, too.
Just because we are fans of this engine doesn't mean anything if our readers don't care. What do you think? Are we out of our OHC minds? Do you want to see a build? Or will you cancel your subscription if the words mod and motor appear next to each other again? Let us know at CarCraft.com.

Modular blocks are cast in either aluminum or iron at either the Windsor, Ontario, or Romeo, Michigan, plant. There are a few differences between the Windsor and Romeo blocks, but the cylinder heads all interchange. Look for a W cast into the boss near the starter to know if your engine came from Canada or not. Regardless of the material used, any modular block is good to at least 800 hp. That means the block in the taxi rotting in the corner of the junkyard has just as much performance potential as the block in the '03 SVT Cobra, the so-called Terminator engine. The blocks use a deep skirt design with cross-bolted main bearing caps. From the factory, they are a lot stronger than a 5.0L block. They have a reputation for longevity, too. Our sources have seen modular engines with 500,000 miles that still meet the factory specs. All 4.6 blocks can use any 4.6 crankshaft and rod bearings, but the Windsor and Romeo blocks use different main caps and bearings.The two blocks also have different reinforcement ribbing in the lifter valley. Unlike the Windsor style shown here, Romeo blocks have smaller ribs running across the valley from side to side.The 5.4 blocks are immediately recognizable by their taller decks. The machined pad above the core plug shows the extra material. The deck on 4.6 blocks is nearly even with the top of this core plug.Aluminum blocks are desirable for their weight-saving advantage over the iron blocks. Of the aluminum blocks, the earlier ones cast in Teksid, Italy, are reported to be the best available, aside from the mid-engine, dry-sump Ford GT block. This is a customer's Teksid block being assembled at MMR. It is recognizable by fewer ribs in the valley than in the later Windsor aluminum blocks.The Teksid blocks were used in all 4V 4.6 engines from '93 to '98. We've seen several in the junkyards and even more selling for cheap on eBay. Make a beeline for the nearest Lincoln MK VIII, pull the engine, and get ready to make 1,000 hp. These blocks were also in '96 to '98 Mustang Cobras.To review, the 2V engines got a makeover in 1999 when Ford, responding to customers' pleas for more power, redesigned the cylinder heads. These Power Improvement (PI) heads had smaller combustion chambers combined with bigger intake runners. Matching the heads was a new, better-flowing intake manifold. The increase in flow and more efficient combustion was worth more than 30 additional horsepower over the non-PI (NPI) design.McKinney says the 2V engines have the potential to be great performers, "They just need more compression and better cams. These engines love compression." He recommends at least 10.4:1, and it turns out the hot ticket is to start with an NPI block. To accommodate the smaller combustion chambers of the PI heads, Ford equipped the '99-and-later engines with dished pistons that put the compression ratio at 9.4:1. Dropping PI heads on an NPI block will yield his recommended 10.4:1 compression ratio.The 300hp formula calls for McKinney's Stage 2 ported PI heads, which he sells complete and ready to install for $1,195. They include stainless steel valves that are slightly larger than stock, bronze guides instead of the stock powdered metal ones, Pacaloy springs, and a performance valve job. This is a good deal considering that a pair of new PI heads from Ford cost about $900.You'll also need bigger cams to break the 300hp barrier. McKinney said he spent lots of time working with Mark Chacon at Bullet Racing Cams to design profiles for the 2V engines. He recommends his Stage 2.5 NA cams that spec out at 228/226 degrees duration and 0.550/0.500 lift on a 108-degree lobe-separation angle. Unfortunately, McKinney doubted if those cams would pass a tailpipe emissions test. So McKinney recommended his Stage 2 Turbo cam: 222/218 duration, 0.525/0.500 lift, 115-degree LSA, and said it would probably make 5 to 10 fewer horsepower at the wheels. McKinney said he prefers the smaller exhaust lobes with the PI heads because the exhaust port flows very well.
Piston-to-valve clearance is something to be concerned about with the 2V engines. The redesigned combustion chamber puts the valves right at the deck of the engine block. That, plus the funny-shaped ridge around the perimeter of the intake valve cause very close piston-to-valve clearance numbers.Clochiatti's Street Thrasher recommendation swaps out the PI heads in the Street Mod long-block for a set of Trick Flow's new 2V cylinder heads. We ran a press release when TFS first released these things last year, but this was the first time we got to compare them with Ford's PI heads side by side. Note the different shape of the Trick Flow combustion chamber (left).When redesigning the heads, Trick Flow relocated the intake valves, arranging them in a way reminiscent of the original SOHC Cammer engine of the '60s The intake valve is the bottom one in the picture. The exhaust valve is in the stock location and angle.The new intake valve angle of the Trick Flow heads eliminates the piston-to-valve interference problems, now allowing guys to run cams with valve lift to 0.600 inch. It also improves airflow from the intake manifold to the valve. You can buy these heads from Summit Racing for $997.95 each, and Clochiatti and Modular Head Shop's McKinney both say that out of the box, the Trick Flow heads outflow any safely ported factory 2V heads. If there is a downside to all this extra airflow, it's that most naturally aspirated street engines may not be able to take advantage of it. The Trick Flow heads may be better suited to forced induction or stroker builds.The other key element to the Street Thrasher combo is a stroker package. Dropping in a 3.75-inch stroke crank will get you the magical 5.0 liters, and MMR's stroker package includes a forged crank, forged H-beam rods, and forged pistons in the compression you choose. The assembly also includes bearings and has been balanced prior to shipping. Clochiatti said this bottom end will support up to 850 hp. In this photo are some of the piston and rod combinations for stock and long-stroke builds. So far everything we've mentioned for the 4.6 will also work for a 5.4 engine except the stroker package. Clochiatti said MMR does not recommend building a 5.4 stroker engine because the geometry creates too great a side load on the cylinders. If you want to add displacement to a 5.4 block, you're going to have to sleeve it.For the ultimate naturally aspirated 2V Street Thrasher, build the stroker motor using Ford Racing's Boss 5.0 block. Part number M-6010-BOSS50 is a cast-iron Windsor block with a 3.75-inch bore. With the stock 4.6 crank, it makes a 5L engine. Add the stroker package, though, and you've got an LS-killing 5.3 mod motor. You'll be getting up there in price, however, and our rough calculations put this combination at just north of $7,500. For that money, you could have had 32 valves instead of 16.The DOHC and SOHC engines use the same main timing chain. The secondary cams are driven by a smaller chain off the exhaust cam sprocket.The best 4V cylinder heads are on the '00 Cobra R and Ford GT, but don't expect to find those cheap. The Mark VIII heads are good, though. They are known as the B heads, and you will be able to find lots of them for not a lot of cash. Incidentally, you can see why a four-valve-per-cylinder arrangement will always move more air than two valves. There's much more valve area. Antonette tells us about the best you can get out of a 2V engine is 500 hp, and you'll need forced induction to make that. Customers who want more than 500 hp are steered toward building 4V engines.The B heads ('93 to '96 MK VIII and '96 to '98 Mustang Cobra) had unique intake manifolds with a split-runner system. Called the IMRC (intake manifold runner control), the engine breathed just through the squared-off ports under light-load conditions. At heavy loads or full-throttle, butterfly valves in the intake runners would open up the circular ports, too. On paper it works well, but in reality, the butterfly valves would get stuck over time and not open fully. MMR sells an adapter plate that eliminates the IMRC, allowing you to take full advantage of the B head's potential.
You can also opt for MMR's new sheetmetal intake. It weighs less than half the Cobra intake to the right of it, has better flow, and deletes the IMRC. The throttle body mounts in the stock location, and it fits under the hood without any modifications.The biggest problem with a 4V build is that the cost adds up much more quickly than with a 2V engine. "There are twice as many cams, twice as many valves, springs, seals, retainers-it gets expensive pretty quickly," Antonette says. Still, if huge power is what you're after, you need the extra valves. Five hundred horsepower is easily achievable with a 4V engine, and racers are making well over 1,000 with a power-adder and a forged bottom end inside a stock block.

The Benefits of Exercise During Pregnancy
In This Article:
Exercise While Traveling
Traveling naturally precludes exercising or moving around a whole lot, which can be dangerous for pregnant women. Make sure you get an aisle seat, so you can get up and move around easily. Women who are pregnant have a higher predisposition to forming blood clots in their legs, so movement of the legs is imperative. You should walk at least 10 minutes out of every hour on a flight.
It's wise to drink a liter of a sports drink before boarding the plane (in other words, tank up); then continue to drink water while flying because there is a tendency to get dehydrated while flying. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate (i.e., drink, drink, drink). Of course, that aisle seat will be a necessity if you do and you'll get your exercise naturally by marching back and forth to the bathroom.
The Ultimate Exercise Sex! (or Sex It's Still a Three-Letter Word)
Depending on your feelings about the matter (and your partner's), sex can be a fun (three letters) and natural type of exercise, particularly if your partner is amenable. In most cases, your sex life should not be curtailed in any way, barring unforeseen circumstances like morning sickness interfering. (It's not particularly sexy or flattering to upchuck while your partner is being amorous.) Occasionally, a woman will feel less like having sex because she's tired or not feeling well; however, just as frequently, a woman may have an increased libido always good for her mate.
When to Have Sex
It's important for your marriage/relationship that you still make time for sex, even though you're pregnant. Again, to quote Nike just do it! Otherwise, there is the risk that your husband might get jealous of the baby before it's even born or feel as if he's coming second in your life. It sounds immature, but it happens. Although you may feel like hibernating for a few months, your husband is still very much alive and needs your attention. Schedule dates and time alone. It will pay off in good feelings all-round.
An FYI: The baby does not know you're having sex; nor does he/she care, so don't worry about a "third person" watching you.
From the Doctor's Perspective...
Some doctors suggest that a woman who is at full term and ready to deliver should use sex to stimulate labor. Marta insists that it's an ancient tribal custom, although I've never heard that theory.
From the Patient's Perspective...
Sorry, but when I was ready to deliver, sex was the last thing on my mind. Ancient tribal customs aside (and I have heard it somewhere, Dr. John!), anyone who tried to touch me that way might not have lived to tell about it. A woman near labor is not a pretty thing to behold or be around (at least not in my case).
When Not to Have Sex
Use common sense about not having sex. If intercourse causes you pain, stop it and consult with your doctor as soon as possible. If you have any unusual discharge before, during, or after sex; or if you have a leakage of fluid, these are conditions to report to your doctor. If you're bleeding, and it is undiagnosed bleeding, it needs to be checked out immediately. If you're having any kind of uterine contractions that you're unsure about, it's probably not a good time to have sex, and you should report your condition to your doctor.
Always be careful that your partner does not hurt you in any way, particularly your abdomen. Prolonged direct compression of a woman's abdomen during intercourse (the missionary position) could be harmful for obvious reasons (particularly in the later stages of pregnancy), but most other positions are OK. If your back hurts, you can always prop pillows under it or do whatever it takes to get comfortable.
In most cases, physicians will recommend that you should not have sex if you're in pre-term labor, for fear that you might stimulate the labor. Also, if you have placenta previa, it is generally advisable not to have intercourse or put anything in the vagina (you don't want anything to have contact with the cervix). Of course, if your water breaks, skip sex and go straight to the hospital (do not pass go; do not collect $200).
It's probably alright to have oral sex, but doctors don't know for sure. Orgasm in a woman can cause contractions of the uterus. It's unclear what component of sex may contribute to increased uterine contractions that could lead to pre-term labor. Doctors don't know if it's related to chemical reactions or a prostaglandin release. In other words, is it the physical act of intercourse that stimulates the contractions or is it caused by a woman's orgasm? These questions are difficult to answer, since the data is limited, but this is the reason that most physicians still suggest pelvic rest (or no sex) if a woman is in pre-term labor.
The Absolute Minimum
If you can exercise comfortably and without pain, then get out there and move. Exercising will keep you in shape during the pregnancy and probably make your labor and delivery easier and more efficient.
- Exercise responsibly, meaning don't do anything that causes you pain at the time or later.
- Walking is probably the best exercise during pregnancy. Buy a pedometer and track your progress.
- Carry a water bottle with you at all times and use it. Getting dehydrated is one of the worst things you can do to your body. Staying hydrated is one of the best.
- Feel good about yourself and enjoy sex. You're still a desirable woman, and your husband will appreciate the attention.
- Having a baby does not mean limiting your life; it means expanding it, so keep doing the things you were doing before you were pregnant (within reason).

Several years ago, McCarter & English's Brigadier General (Ret.) William S. Greenberg '67 founded the Military Legal Assistance Program (MLAP) to provide free legal representation to members of the Reserve and National Guard who served since September 11, 2001. Six years later, hundreds of soldiers have received quality free legal representation in a variety of legal contexts. Inspired by the MLAP, a group of Rutgers School of Law–Newark students came together to help further this cause and started the Rutgers Veterans Pro Bono Program. The program enables students to participate in various legal research and writing assignments from McCarter's MLAP program. At their first orientation, students were welcomed at the firm by the General (front row, fourth from left) and introduced to the types of cases McCArter handles. The Rutgers group not only looks forward to making a positive impact on the lives of veterans within our community, but also anticipates a very rewarding educational and practical legal experience.

Please can someone explain the "Rule of Thirds"?
What is it?
What does it tell me?
Why is it important?
What can I do with it?
Please can someone explain the "Rule of Thirds"?
The rule of thirds is actually the golden ratio. It's a number that divides a line into roughly 2/3 and 1/3.
In photography it's used to make images more dynamic. If you place the subject in the center of the image, it's percieved as balanced and perhaps dull (unless the subject is very strong in itself), while if you place the subject at one side you add a tension between the subject and the empty space:
This can be applied both horizontally and vertically, and used for different purposes. The lower right spot is considered positive while the upper left is considered negative, which can be used to enhance what you want to express with the picture.
Updated link to an example of upper left positioning: http://www.guffa.com/Photo_view.aspx?id=5016
The rule of thirds is a popular and common compositional guideline for photography and for painting.
In its most basic form, the rule of thirds suggests that dividing areas within the frame into thirds is more successful than an even division. For example, the sky should occupy the top third (or two-thirds) of the frame, rather than sharing the space evenly with the ground.
A second use of the rule holds that objects of interest should be placed at the intersections of the horizontal and vertical third-lines. Proponents argue that these four points have a special strength.
Because I tend towards obsessiveness, I did some research into the original source of this term. The first use appears to be in John Thomas Smith's 1797 book Remarks on Rural Scenery. Since I work at a university, I have access to some very old books, and I've copied out the relevant passage for your enjoyment:
It appears that Smith at least believes himself to be coining the phrase, and I can't find any earlier references (and, he does generally reference other works when he refers to them, as he does Sir Joshua Reynolds's essay).
The golden ratio is not mentioned at all, so the idea appears to be derived independently of that, not an intentional simplification. This is not surprising, as 1797 predates the 19th-century naming of the golden ratio and its subsequent popularization as an aesthetic construct. One of course could argue that it is the inherent power of that ratio which unknowingly lead Smith to a "slightly-off" conclusion. It's hard to back that up with facts either way, so it must be left as a matter of faith. In any case, Smith certainly argues that a ratio of ⅔ : ⅓ is "much better and and more harmonizing" than "any other proportion whatever".
Of course, Smith also doesn't provide much argument for his chosen proportion, simply declaring it to be the best. He says that an even split is too static, and a four-fifths division too strong, but doesn't appear to have any real basis for this particular number. It would be interesting to know what would happen if one of the "gentlemen" he speaks of would have explained the golden ratio to him; perhaps he would have been swayed. Ah, for a time machine.
It's also interesting to note that Smith's version of the rule is much more general than the one in common use today: he initially applies it to division of areas within the total frame, but goes on to claim it as the best way to divide any line, group, or mass. That application certainly does not seem to have caught on. On the other hand, he does not mention at all the idea of attaching special power to the intersection of the frame's third-lines.
(And, if you're interested, the mentioned "Hogarth's line" is explained in this article — it is a certain S shape, which I agree does look quite nice.)
The rule of thirds suggest that you should divide the image area into a 3x3 grid, and then position compositional elements of the image along the lines between those cells, preferably where vertical and horizontal lines meet:
The rule of thirds is a simplification of the golden ratio.
The idea is that an image will be more pleasing to the eye if important elements of the image is positioned according to this rule, rather than positioned in the center of an image.
Of course, it's just a rule of thumb and as such should not be followed blindly. Sometimes breaking it and positioning the subject extremely far out towards an edge or corner or even in the center of the image lead to a stronger composition.

I'm curious if it's possible to define a function that would have more than two functionvalues for one single x-value. I know that it's possible to get two y-values by using the root (one positive, one negative: $\sqrt{4} = -2 ; +2$).
Is it possible to get three or more function values for one single x-value?

I want to convert my old raleigh, which has 3 chainrings on the front, into a single-speed. Do I have to replace the bottom bracket? I keep hearing conflicting things. Thankyou.
Sign up

You need one of four things:
You only need one of the four, but these are the only ways to get the chain tension correct on a single speed. (I should say "almost only." Blind luck works every so often.) Additionally, as others have mentioned, a chain tensioner will not work with a fixie.
It's also possible that your spindle is too long or too short to get your chainline correct. If that's the case, you'll have to get a new bottom bracket with the correct spindle length even if you already have an eccentric hub or horizontal dropouts. It's usually possible to position the chain rings on the inside or the outside of the crank's spider and get it correct, but not always.
It's almost never necessary, I don't know where you got this idea. The only possible reason I can imagine for changing the BB during a single-speed conversion is if the chainline is way off, and you can't fix it by respacing the chainring.
You might be thinking of an eccentric bottom bracket. This is indeed one way to adjust the chain tension on a single-speed; but an eccentric requires a special BB shell, so if your frame doesn't already have an eccentric, there's no way to install it.
An eccentric bottom bracket is one way of getting the chain tension correct, but it's not the only one.
I can't see any other reason why you'd need to change it, unless you can't get a useable chainline otherwise.
Not sure if you are talking bottom brackets or cranksets. But the answer for both is "no".
If you have a singlespeed specific hub, this mainly depends on the chainstays of the bike and the size chainwheel you want to run. For a conversion I imagine you have a standard cassette hub though - this gives you some flexibility in positioning the rear sprocket. You should be able to put your single chainwheel in the inside or middle and adjust position of rear sprocket if needed.
If you have vertical dropouts, some people might recommend an eccentric bottom bracket to tension the chain. But you can also just use your rear derailleur, or a bolt-on tensioner like this one for this.

I always wondered what mechanism does WP use to maintain a user state when user goes from page to page?
It uses bare cookies and stores the login state information client side.
Where do all these cookies and salt come from?
The salt is in your wp-config.php file:
The unique phrases are used in a cryptographic hash function
The authentication cookie, the name of which is stored inside of AUTH_COOKIE, which is formed by concatenating "wordpress_" with the md5 sum of the siteurl set in default-constants.php. This is the default behavior and can be overridden from inside your configuration file, by setting up some of the constants upfront.
The authentication cookie a concatenation of the username, a timestamp until which the authentication cookie is valid., and an HMAC, which is sort of a key-biased hash for those who pulled of a TL;DR right now. The three variables are concatenated with the pipe character |.
Here is how the HMAC is constructed:

...とか他の... and
...とかの他の... equivalent? What is the function of the first の in the latter example?
And why can't a の follow とか in
...とかその他...? Or can it?
And why can't a の follow とか in
I'm not answering this from a linguist perspective (I'm not a student of Japanese, just a native user). Just a warning.
It seems like these are mostly equivalent ways of saying the same thing, but some sound more natural/awkward than others. Whether to insert a の or not depends on the flow of a sentence, and to me a sentence with too many の (as in とかの他の) sounds very awkward at worst, if not used sparingly. It's almost like trying to put together a sentence while using "well," "you know," or "um" while thinking what to say next. Doing so doesn't really go against grammar in loose ways but often kills the flow of sentence.

I'm running into a problem similar to this one.
I'm running Arch Linux and have installed TexLive from their repository. I noticed that I had some configuration files (texmf.cnf and updmap.cfg) that needed to be updated, so I diffed them and updated the relevant sections. In the case of updmap, it was simply adding some kanji font maps to the file.
Then, I thought I should run updmap since I changed the config. I got this:
$ updmap
Can't locate TeXLive/TLUtils.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /tlpkg /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/share/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/core_perl /usr/share/perl5/core_perl .) at /usr/bin/updmap line 18.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/updmap line 18.
I checked for TLUtils.pm and found it:
$ locate TLUtils.pm
I don't know where
@INC (sounds like the TL path?) is defined and thus don't know where it gets told where to look for TLUtils.pm.
The line 18 referenced is this:
use TeXLive::TLUtils qw(mkdirhier mktexupd win32);
I'm guessing some things got moved around during some update and perhaps some path is still referencing some now non-location. How might I correct this?

Decade of OncoLink Empowers Cancer Patients
Please use for reference only.
The Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: March 26, 2004
- OncoLink offers first US web-based clinical trial recruitment program
- New Colorectal Cancer Patient Guide published from Internet questions
(March 19, 2004, Philadelphia, PA) – Cancer patients seek increasing amounts of control over their care through use of the Internet, according to the latest trends and figures released today from the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennyslvania. The Center is host to the popular patient-driven website called OncoLink (www.oncolink.org ), which celebrates its tenth year in operation on March 23rd.
Monthly accesses of OncoLink have grown from approximately 30,000 per month in 1994 (during its first year of operation) to an average of 9.5 million per month. Patient usage of OncoLink is increasingly shifting from information gathering to participatory functions. Indeed, since 2002, more than 630 patients have used the nation's first on-line clinical trials matching service to enroll in one of over 200 research studies at Penn (pending screening by a clinician); and, up to 1000 people have signed on to view live webcasts from several national and international cancer conferences. Cancer survivors have also added support programs that are proving popular, with the recent addition of art, humor and poetry forums to the website.
"The Internet was originally viewed as a tool to help bridge the information gap between patients and physicians," said Assistant Professor James Metz, MD, Editor-in-Chief of OncoLink and a radiation oncologist at the Cancer Center. "It has proven a lot more versatile – continually empowering patients to become active participants in their healthcare team."
According to recent studies, more than 40 percent of cancer patients at academic medical centers, and 20 percent of cancer patients of patients at community medical centers, have access to and use the Internet in the management of their disease.
The increasing use of cancer websites prompted OncoLink's editors to develop a checklist for patients to use when evaluating other websites. For instance, a credible web resource should list its editorial staff, their credentials and provide access to these experts for general questions and answers; it should also allow for confidentiality – even sites requiring registration should not be releasing any contact data without permission.
To keep up with increasing demands from patients for services, OncoLink's editorial board – comprised of clinical staff who answer patient questions – has grown from less than a dozen at its founding to nearly 70 this year. Publications are also being driven by patient use of the Internet, in contrast to the traditional posting of a publication to the Internet. This month, OncoLink – in conjuction with medical publisher Elsevier Saunders – produced the first-ever patient guide about colorectal cancer based on patient questions from the Internet, featuring answers to 100 commonly asked questions about colo-rectal cancer screening, diagnosis and treatment.
"This trend towards patient empowerment over the Internet is likely to grow as cancer care turns into management of a chronic disease," said Metz. "Patients have to deal with their disease for a lifetime, and it is only natural that they will demand as much independence as medical and computer technology will allow. OncoLink will continue to evolve in order to meet patient needs for increased participation in their care."

How to get the nth record (lets say 133rd) from the 1000 records (or unknown number of records) by using CAML query.
You would need to figure out what qualifies the "133rd" record? Is is the ID (most cases, but not reliable as it does functions like in SQL database for auto-incremented column), is it the last modified date, created date, etc. What I've used to do was to use an OrderBy numeric column (0 decimals - so it integer) that I've always sorted after.
Once this is established you could even combine multiple clauses to get closer to your record, via OrderBy and Where, see here explanations http://weblogs.asp.net/uruit/archive/2010/06/15/how-to-add-new-filters-to-caml-queries-in-sharepoint-2007.aspx
Once you get your results back, just use LINQ to get your Last(), see here something similar Getting items from rows 4-8 in a Sharepoint list using CAML query?
Recomandations for large lists are to use in your Query any of the ContentIterator.ItemEnumerationOrderByID, ContentIterator.ItemEnumerationOrderByPath, or ContentIterator.ItemEnumerationOrderByNVPField in the OrderBy clause, see here for more http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee558807(v=office.14)
as said in above reply you can get specific no. of records using RowLimit. TO get nth record only you can use "ID" field to get specific reocrd.
i.e Where ID = "your number"
before firing query to retrive the nth make sure list contains n no. of records
Regards, Ketan
You could use RowLimit
Do you have any kind of identifier of that record? If so, just use Where clausule to select 1 record.
If not, you should just specify some argument in Where clausule to filter records (if possible), use Order By (if needed) and of course use RowLimit set to value of "n" and then use linq to get .Last() item in result set.
Yes, you will get "n" results but if you have no specific identifier for your record there is no other option.
If you need more help, try to be more specific about your scenario - eg. why you need nth record.
The easiest answer would be:
But I doubt you accept it ;)

Yes — with conditions
Gateway tolls remain the best way to end the free ride for out-of-state motorists and truckers, to get them to contribute to the cost of maintaining state roads and bridges.
Lord knows only the stupid ones pay gasoline taxes in Connecticut these days, and toll-takers in Massachusetts, New York, New Hampshire and other Northeast states show no remorse when they eagerly clip Connecticut motorists.

Some candidates in Concord city election have faced criminal charges
Booth and Cook are not the only candidates on the ballot this fall with criminal records. At-large city council candidate Timothy Willis is a registered sex offender; he was convicted in 2003 by a Maine jury of unlawful sexual contact with a 14-year-old girl. City Councilor Fred Keach, who is running in the same citywide race as Willis, was convicted in 2010 of driving while intoxicated.

I know the agony of writing about a departed loved one and was so very touched when Joyce Wetherell sent me the tribute written about her husband, Ross, who died on Aug. 8. She did something I would never be able to do - she read the eulogy at her husband's funeral.
Joyce mentioned that I had written in a past column that memories are special, and she wanted to share memories of Ross with me.
"Memories help you to stay sane when everything about you is in turmoil. Memories are everything," she wrote.
I would like to share some of her eulogy.
It takes a special man to be a farmer. In what other profession do you work 18-hour days; believe you can plant tiny seeds and harvest a field of corn; put hay in the mouth of a cow and have milk come out through the udder; and have the faith that this year will be the one without a drought, gully washing rain, wind that will flatten the oats field the day before harvesting or deer eat your corn crop?
A farmer is a man who works those 18 hours, reinvests everything he has back into that farm and wakes each morning to do it again. And if he is a dairy farmer, it is a 365-day-a-year job. And one more day gets added every four years.
He was born to farm. God knew he needed to have extra patience, a love of the land and the strength to endure the struggles of everyday life. God blessed us with our own farmer - Ross.
As the seasons of life changed and the wheels of the tractors turned, Ross was carried - no, he drove through life - a quiet man on a noisy, green machine. His "bucket list" wasn't a wish list of things to be accomplished before death, but rather a list he might have in his pocket as he headed to Landmark - a feed bucket and a new water bucket, too. Buckets ... you get the picture?
The tractor wheels have made many rounds through the fields of life. Ross was born into farming and loved and respected the kind of man his dad, Floyd, was. His heart was full of love for his mom, Clarice.
The tractor tires churned through Little League years and teen years, where school wasn't his thing. Who needed English to farm? And gym was okay, but he got more out of pitching hay and cleaning the barn stalls.
Soon the tractor carried him through high school, and it was graduation. There were no graduation parties for him. He wanted to get his diploma and get home and to bed as he had cows to milk and hay to mow in the morning.
His brothers left the farm, and Ross stayed to do the one thing he loved - farm. Ross met Joyce in 1972, and dates were spent at car races, movies and the Jamboree. He spent many Sunday nights taking her back to West Liberty for her junior year of college.
They became engaged, but Ross wanted to make sure she knew what being a farm wife meant. Money would be tight, nights could be lonely if there was a sick cow or the electricity went out. But true love can accept these minor inconveniences. They were married for 38 1/2 happy years.
The children, Ross Jr. and Duayne, were born, and he spent every spare minute with them. He worked hard to get the chores done so he could go to football and baseball games, wrestling matches and band concerts. This was important to him. He passed on a strong work ethic, a love of family and a joy for life to his sons.
Both sons got married. Ross Jr. to Carrie and Duayne to Monica. Ross became a Pap-pap for the first time when D.J. was born to Duayne and Monica. Then Andrew, his little farmer, and then Delia, his cutie and sweetheart came along.
The tractor wheels slowed; the rounds became shorter. There were tears over health issues that came on suddenly in what he knew would be an early death.
He cried for the things he would miss in the lives of the people he loved. Joyce cried for the emptiness she would feel without Ross in her life. But laughter was there, too. They laughed at the good memories in reminiscing over so many happenings. He was proud of his sons and remarked he must have done something right to have them turn out so well. Thoughts of the three grandchildren made him smile.
He was thankful for the last day at home, to see the farm and to watch the grandchildren play. Their hugs were a special medicine that couldn't be delivered by an IV or a shot. He talked of friends and family who came to visit.
The wheels of the tractor turned slower and slower. He was running out of diesel fuel. There was never anyone he met who didn't like Ross. He tried to see things in a good light and accepted people for who they were.
Though doctors and nurses called him a miracle, tough guy, a rare bird and a sweetheart, it became evident that God needed another good farmer. Ross has joined his dad to plow the fields of heaven and reap the rewards of the harvest. As Ross stepped into heaven, the tractor has stopped here on Earth. The rounds are completed. Life's field is now plowed. The farmer peacefully rests, and the tractor cries.
I want to say that this kind of writing cannot be made up. It has to be lived. I know how Joyce was by his bedside each and every day. But she had her Liberty Gals and Guys 4-H Club stay active and continue on at the Jefferson County Fair that started just days after the funeral.
They decorated a 4-H booth, made a float and the members carried on just for Joyce and Ross.
Some other deaths that have touched me deeply this past week have been that of Hilda Benton, Aunt Hilda as Mary Emery called her, and I picked up on that, too. That lady could bake up a tray of assorted cookies, nut rolls and cream horns in the blink of an eye. She was very active up through her 80s and truly loved life.
Nately Ronsheim was another lady who did so much through her lifetime. I met her when she was the director of the Harrison Cottage Industries in Cadiz. The group purchased a house, renovated and decorated it to display and sell all the crafts of the county and counties beyond. There would be luncheons to promote and show off the many crafts, and she was behind all of it.
Lois Ramsey was gone too soon. That lady was deeply involved with the Bits and Pieces 4-H Club and Girls Scouts. She helped her husband, Jim, with the camping details at the Jefferson County Fair.
I know so many members of the Ramsey family and want to extend my sympathy to all.
God's spirit shines through these four wonderful people. They will live on in all they have done.

What are the best conditions to use a synthetic sleeping bag vs a down one? Can you always use a down sleeping bag as long as you keep it in a dry waterproof bag?
The answer is very dependent on the prevailing weather conditions where you are active, and what your budget is
Given that I have used both styles, and love them both in different conditions I would say make your decision after considering the above and speaking with local experts who have used the product in your climate area. Knowledge from a local makes all the difference.
This appears to be a slight misunderstanding. The problem is not keeping the bag dry when transporting and storing it. The problem is mostly condensated moisture and water vapour from your body.
For example when you sleep in a tent in the winter, there's a lot of condensation on the tent walls. Some of it drops down and if you're not careful, your bag could be wet after a few nights unless you can dry it somewhere. With bivy sack the situation can be similar. This can be solved with a membrane down bag that's got a waterproof fabric on the outer side that will not let any water in.
And then there's moisture from your body. For example if you stick your head into the sleeping bag and exhale into it, that's quite a lot of moisture that will again condense somewhere in your down insulation and will build up day after day until you can dry the bag.
These are issues that many people never encounter, not sleeping outside in the winter, knowing how to work around them or staying out just shortly so that the moisture does not have the chance to build up that much. Which is why I agree with Dangeranger in that you have to know what you are going to do with your sleeping bag.
I've had about three synthetic sleeping bags, the last one very fluffy and warm. But when I recently bought a down sleeping bag for my girlfriend, there's no coming back, my next bag is going to be down. It's much smaller, warmer and lighter, and I haven't run into any issues with it yet.
Goose-down bags are lighter and more durable as the insulation holds up MUCH better to compression than synthetic.
If you are going on long treks and really need to watch the weight, then a goose is probably better suited. However, keep it dry! Keeping it in a waterproof bag (as you suggested) is a must.
If you don't really go camping much (once or twice a year at best), I wouldn't spend the money on a goose.
The goose-down really has two major downfalls:

60" Workbench w/ 4 Drawers for $159.99
This workbench is awesome. I own it. Of course, in my house, it's not a workbench. It's a changing table. But when Liam graduates from diapers, it will magically transmorgrify into a workbench. Transmorgrification is just one of its many features. And the sale price is awesome, with or without the transmorgrification circuit!

Or, you can use the coupon in the October issue of Popular Science, and get it for $139.99.
i have this. My main 2 complaints are the droors don't pull out far enough, and the holes in the top dont line up making the vice less effective.
$139.99 is the good deal price. It's usually $139.99 during their sidewalk events. I took off the wood vice and put on a heavier duty metal one with four heavy duty bolts (vice also bought at Harbor Freight heh). With that mounted on, it's a nice work bench.
Coupon Code: 99094294
Brings the price down to $127.99
however, shipping kills the deal... $96.94 shipping brings the total to: $240.11 and I don't see an option for ship to store
I've noticed these in a harbor freight store - they seem pretty decent except they also seem pretty wobbly. Maybe it was just poorly put together at the store, but I'd hold off unless you really need a light duty workbench.
The only reason I can think of for someone not building their own workbench is if all their tools are broken because they bought them at Harbor Freight.
@ryanpblyth: It's the assembly. I bought one to use as a reloading / workshop bench and it is very sturdy. It even survived a move from Virginia to Minnesota and is still just as solid.
$89.95 additional Freight Charge
@1rudeboy: I couldn't agree more.
@devexityspace: Don't the stores price match the online deal?
I would NOT recommend this table to anyone! Too small to be useful and has no bracing making it very wobbly. Save yourself some money and buy some 2x4's and 2x8's and build one yourself.
I've got this bench and have had zero problems with it. Sturdy - even when moved around as needed.
I have it, and it's extremely sturdy, and very durable.
I'd have built my own, but, well, I didn't have a bench to work on. Gotta start somewhere. Besides, this is far nicer than anything I'd be able to build on my own.
It's narrow, but quite long. It has a lot more workspace on it than you might think. I fell in love with it the moment I finished assembling it.
True that the drawers could pull further, but that's easily fixed.
Also true that shipping kills the deal, but the stores have it at the same price.
@1rudeboy: I buy a few things at HarborFreight. But I try to buy nothing with a motor. That's just crap. The kind you don't want in a bag of crap.
I find the Harbor-hate amusing.
I tell ya what, I'm not going to go by a top of the line tool for single use.
Floor nailer, tile saw, whatever specialty project tool, I prefer the cheapest option. Once the project is done, it's just something to lend out, take up valuable garage space, or try to sell on Craigslist. Neither of which are worth the hassle.
Harbor freight has its place, and I'm ok with it.
This bench is worth the money for the top and vices alone. That is, in fact, how I would use it. I'd replace the legs. And while many HF items are crap, let us not forget their amazing value of a dust collector. Add a Wynn pleated filter and you're in biz.

Tim and Judy Fout have a recurring nightmare—in the daytime.
Judy was in a grocery checkout line recently when she noticed a woman who looked like a teacher, holding a book. Since both women had a few moments before reaching the cash register, Judy introduced herself.
"I told her that my husband and I own a bookstore called A Reader's Corner, and that we give teacher discounts," Judy said. "She said, 'Oh, I thought you were closed!' We hear that so often."
The misconception started last June when the store moved from St. Matthews to 2044 Frankfort Ave. in Clifton. The relocation may have confused some people, but those who have visited the new shop have found it more attractive and better stocked than ever.
Tim entered the used book market online in 1996. Within a few months, he and Judy decided that they were ready to open a bricks-and-mortar shop. In December 1997, they opened one on Wiltshire Avenue; and for five and a half years, they shared the building with The Wiltshire Pantry.That first location gave them 900 square feet. Their next move, to 138 Breckinridge Lane in 2003, provided about 2,600 square feet. The site offered good exposure to foot traffic and to drivers at the Willis Avenue intersection, but there was frequent congestion.
After about eight years on Breckinridge Lane, they moved the shop to its current spot, a frame building that comprises about 1,500 square feet.
"Our goal had been to stay in St. Matthews, but it didn't work out. We looked at three storefronts, but each one fell through. This site was ours within days of finding it," Judy said. "We think this is the right amount of space, and this is where we belong. The Crescent Hill neighborhood is very locally oriented. We're more connected to businesses around here, and feel more a part of things."
During A Reader's Corner's early days, the Fouts specialized in non-fiction, which Tim prefers; most of the fiction they carried was literature. The Breckinridge Lane site had room for expansion into half non-fiction, half fiction—including "the kind of mainstream books that people read for escapism," as Judy described them.
"People with all kinds of interests still love coming to used bookstores," she said. "I know a woman who travels and got tired of using her electronic reader. She's going back to books. No one can tell her when and where she can read a book, including during take-off and landing. Used books are so inexpensive, you don't worry if you lose one. People prefer holding them, too. And with electronic readers, when one with more gadgets comes along, you think you have to buy it. Books don't change."
A Reader's Corner still sells books online through website Amazon.com, and other outlets, but that part of the business has dropped considerably since last year's relocation. As Judy put it, "The store has to take priority."
The Fouts estimate that they have 30,000 books in the store and stockroom. Unlike many bookshops, they have a substantial Religion section, which includes various translations of the Bible as well as commentaries.
"We have more serious philosophy and theology," Tim said. "People are surprised to find that we also have an eclectic variety of remainders, selected for us by Harvey Venier. He used to be with Hawley-Cooke, and is one of the top remainders buyers in the country. We're very fortunate to have him, because he adds so much to our store."
Customers also are surprised that A Reader's Corner discounts 20 percent on new books. Larger discounts may be available for new books bought in quantity, such as for book clubs or church groups. Teachers, whether in classrooms or home-school settings, receive a 25 percent discount. The shop has a contract to provide non-textbooks, such as classic novels, for the Jefferson County Public Schools system.
A Reader's Corner has a children's section, with story time on the second Saturday of each month. Youngsters receive refreshments and a free book; weather permitting, that event is held on the front porch.
Some older patrons are in a writer's group that meets on Friday nights. Book-signings are popular, too: On June 21, for example, Tim's friend James Grote will sign copies of Medieval Literacy, which includes essays about C. S. Lewis's perspective on various aspects of the Middle Ages.
"We're always looking for books and events that our customers will enjoy," Judy said. "Even though we have less space than before, one of our goals is to fill it with better books. Another goal is, of course, to help people find us. We're still around, and better than ever."
A Reader's Corner, 2044 Frankfort Ave., opens at 10 a.m. and closes at 6 p.m. Monday-Wednesday and Friday-Saturday; and opens at 10 a.m. and closes at 8 p.m. Thursdays. On the final Friday of each month, it opens at 10 a.m. and closes at 10 p.m. For more information, visit www.areaderscorner.com or phone 502.897.5578.
