This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
Last year I gave a talk at ICSOFT 2010 that addressed that particular issue. The answer is not simple and I cannot describe it here in full, but you can download my presentation here. Scroll down to slide 23 "Moving from functional to structural models" for this topic.
The OPEN/Metis white paper contains additional information to complement the presentation.
The basic steps to obtain a class model from use cases are:
I will be happy to extend this answer with additional details if you have further questions.
Here is my suggestion:
And don't expect that the process "use case diagram -> class diagram" can be described here on SO in-depth in a few sentences. That's like "I have a picture of a car, please explain how I get from there to a blueprint of the engine".
The question is one of 'object discovery'; the process of investigating a system requirement and identifying the 'objects' that could implement or be involved in the operation of such a system. There are a number of techniques for object discovery, one of the most productive and communicative is the class-collaboration-responsibility (CRC) card technique.
Despite its name, CRC is primarily about object discovery, not class discovery, and perhaps (ORC would have been less confusing if you ever work in communications systems where CRC means something entirely different), but the latter follows from the discovery of the former, and this should always be object oriented design not class oriented after all.
Either way, by using CRC to generate candidate objects, and then using them to 'walk through' use case scenarios, you can refine your set of candidate objects (discarding unused ones, and creating new ones as necessary), and refine their responsibilities and collaborations as you go. When you then have a stack of cards that satisfy all the use case scenarios, you can use them to identify classifiers and class hierarchies. Often one card will become one class, though it may have represented several objects in the walk-throughs, you may even see that several objects have similar responsibilities and are in fact one class or sub-classes if a common super-class. All this informs the relationships and classes for your class diagram.
The collaborations discovered during the CRC exercise form the relationships in the class diagram, the nature of the collaboration may determine the use of aggregation, composition or otherwise, but that is often a detailed design or implementation issue and may not be obvious or even desirable at the use case level of design, which is generally more of an essential or requirements modelling exercise than an implementation modelling exercise. Use case -to-implementation is usually too large a step, especially if you have to verify your model with stakeholders with perhaps domain expertise, but not software architecture expertise.
Do you only have a Use-Case Diagram or do you have the scenarios to go along with the Use-Cases? If you only have the Use-Case Diagram then I would recommend creating the scenarios to go along with the Use-Cases. I like english sentences but activity diagrams work fine also.
After you have the scenarios, the next step is to create sequence diagrams. Assuming your scenarios were done properly then your domain classes will fall out of your sequence diagrams straight-forwardly. You can then optimize your domain classes to meet whatever criteria you deem is important in your system.
In any event, IMO, you absolutely don't come up with the classes first, despite some methods that suggest otherwise. It will only result in fitting square pegs into round holes. Let the classes identify themselves and they'll do that quite nicely in the sequence diagrams if you take the time to learn to do a sequence diagram properly and not just for hand-waving purposes.
What I do is to use classes with actor, usecases etc.. as stereotypes in my usecase diagram then drag and drop the same classes into my class diagrams. It does the job and it is pretty efficient.
This is a very good and intersting question without definite answers. There are many methodologies and practices encouraging similar yet different approaches. You can find one in another answer. Others include use case realizations and analytical modeling (UP), domain modeling (DDD), CRC cards (RDD) and many more. What I consider to be similar to these approaches is looking at steps in use case descriptions (use case diagrams are not of a much value per se) and identifiying input and output data and their relation to the problem domain. From there on it is mostly intuition I guess. Overall use cases aren't primary source of the OO design, they are important as specification of behaviour of the system and for managing requirements.

We recently put together our list of the best Mac apps, but college students need different tools. If you snagged a shiny new Mac with one of those student discounts, here are the apps to load it up with before you hit that first class.
Notational Velocity and/or Simplenote
Notational Velocity is a fantastic Simplenote client on Mac. Simplenote is a great way to keep all your class notes synchronized and stored in one place so you always have access to them. Likewise, Simplenote's Mac app has come a long long way since we last looked it over, and is worth your attention if you want something simple and lightweight.
Evernote is an excellent resource for students to capture everything they have going on in class. If you need a little inspiration for how to use Evernote, Shep McAllister's guest post on the Evernote blog outlines a lot of ways you can use Evernote in school, including taking snapshots of notes, blackboards, organizing research, and more.
iStudiez Pro
Keeping track of all your assignments, social activities, and everything else is a job in itself. iStudiez Pro makes a little easier by being both a planner and a to-do list, so you can easily track your assignments and other due dates. Better still, you can also track your GPA from within the app, so you always know where you're at. It's $9.99, which is a bit pricey, but you can check out the lite version for free to see if it works for you.
Google Docs
Not long ago, students were stuck with Microsoft Office for their office suite, but now that Google Docs has offline editing it's a perfect replacement to Office for most students. The best part is the fact that it's free, but it also has pretty much everything you need: spreadsheets, presentations, and a document editor. It also stores you documents in the cloud so you never to worry about the horrible just-lost-my-paper panic.
Kindle for Mac
Carrying around textbooks is a huge hassle. Instead, provided your books are available digitally, you can just carry around your computer and access them on your PC. The Kindle app is also a great way to highlight, take notes, and share those notes with other classmates.
We mention Dropbox in our annual Lifehacker Packs, but it's worth noting again for students. Not only is Dropbox a handy place to store all your files, it can also be a lifesaver when you realize you forgot to bring in an assignment. Simply pop into Dropbox, and email the link directly to your professor from any computer.
Internet and Communication
Chrome's a great choice for students because it syncs all your settings, browser history, and your extensions. This makes it easy to keep your school laptop synced up with your desktop at home and your browser on your smartphone. Power users can get a lot of Chrome, so when you're not busy writing papers, you'll have plenty more to do.
Instead of wasting your money on SMS messages for your phone, an easy way to save a little cash in school is to use an instant messaging client. The bonus is that if you're using it on your computer your professor probably won't even realize you're not paying attention.
Whether you just miss your parents, or you want a cheap and free way to talk to friends at other schools, Skype is one of the easiest video chat clients to use. It's also a way to phone-ify your computer so you don't have to wory about an annoying cell phone bill.
The Extended Pack
You have an abundance of choices for streaming music on your computer, but we're fans of Spotify for its massive collection of songs, and its free radio apps on mobile. Rdio is also worth looking at if Spotify doesn't fit your needs. The point is, with streaming apps you don't have to worry about trying to afford music throughout your college career. Plus, student's get a discount on the premium subscription, so you can stream to all your devices for just $5.
While we generally prefer Google Docs for creating and editing your own documents, that doesn't mean everyone else does. Just to be safe, it's not bad to have an Office suite on your computer, and LibreOffice is nice to have around in case you can't access Google Docs. It's also helpful for when you need advanced formatting options for certain types of assignments.
Keeping track of research can get really complicated, especially when you're working with a bunch of different documents from your library. Mendeley is an organization tool that helps you keep track of all those PDF files. It also lets you annotate and generates citations on the spot.
Working late on an assignment and tired of the brightness of your screen? F.lux changes the color temperature of your monitor based on the time of day. As the sun sets, your screen turns a slightly orange tint. This should help you get a better night of sleep and reduce eyestrain on for those all-nighters.
If you're looking for more great apps for your Mac beyond what's in our student pack, head to the Lifehacker Pack for Mac.

Unanswered: Missing images in Toolbar Menu
Hello all, I'm using ExtJS 4.1.1 and I have a toolbar with a drop down menu (defined as tbar within the Viewport). When I run my code on a network that doesn't have internet access I get these unsightly red x's next to my menu options. When I right click, it says it's looking for an image http://www.sencha.com/s.gif. When I go on the internet, I see that this image is just a black 1 x 1 gif. Is there anyway to disable this or override it?
Thanks in advance.
7 Dec 2012 6:07 AM #2
After Ext is loaded, but before building your viewport you should set Ext.BLANK_IMAGE_URL to a valid location for the s.gif image on your local server.
7 Dec 2012 6:47 AM #3
7 Dec 2012 7:31 AM #4
s.gif is a transparent image so it should not be displaying anything. Are you pointing it to the s.gif image in the ext resources folder?

Absorption of a minority group within a larger population; distinct from integration in that it implies a loss of cultural identity and ultimately of individuality. Usually relates to the pressure on immigrants to conform to the expectations of the mass culture in their new country. More recently applied to the aggressive subjugation of races by the Borg, and hence to a person joining a large faceless group of stupid people.

It is what the United State's government did to the indigenous tribes in order to cast out the inner "native" from them. Involved sending the children to the state-run boarding schools in order to destroy their "savage" culture. In many cases, assimilation was the solution for the government to obtain land, stripping the indigenous of precious resources.
The United States forced assimilation upon Native Americans in means of "killing the indian, but saving the man."

- Why Your Site Needs Responsive Design
At the end of 2014 mobile internet usage finally surpassed desktop usage, as was predicted a decade ago. Unfortunately, many sites are still focused on only desktop experience, so soon after Google decided to introduce a new algorithm that would penalize websites if they are not mobile-friendly by lowering their search results ranking, which is just one of their 200 ranking factors.
The reason Google was forced to implement this new parameter is due to the predictably dissatisfied mobile users. In fact, metrics showed that over 60% of mobile users who landed on a non-mobile friendly website are significantly less likely to ever return to it.
Initially, this change resulted in some confusion and growing pains as companies and private entities started creating two kinds of websites for the same content, one for desktop and one for mobile.
Of course, this proved to be extremely ineffective as you would then need to create a different version of the same website for a wide range of devices, screen sizes and resolutions. In addition, Google would have to index multiple versions of the same site, which would interfere with search engine optimization, which is why Google not only prefers a mobile-friendly website but also a responsive website design.
Furthermore, note that even the upcoming Windows 10 will be tailored to offer the same experience across all devices, no matter their size. If an entire operating system is geared towards 100% flexibility you know that a new standard is being established, and you should jump on it sooner rather than later.
And this is where the responsive web design comes in. Our recommended vendor for web design in Greenville SC completely understands the need to cater to mobile users.
Responsive sites automatically adjust their viewing area to the screen size of the device currently being used to view it, be it a tablet, smartphone or a desktop.
Although it takes a little longer to set up, a responsive web design more than compensates for it by solidifying all content at one place, one version, and future-proofing it for upcoming new devices like smartwatches, TVs and AR glasses.
Another important metric one has to take into account is that responsive web design lowers the page content load times, which is critical if you do not want to lose potential viewers. Google figured out that the optimal load time for the top portion of the page should be under 1 second, and for the entire page under 2 seconds. Such short times are not possible for desktop designed websites loaded onto a mobile device.
- Speed: Boost Your Office Computers With SSD
SSD is also known as a solid-state drive and it does the same storage job as the HDD, which is short for a hard disc drive. That job is saving data while your system is off or while it is in process of booting. A big difference between HDD and SSD technologies is that hard disc devices are using technology based on magnetic coating on top of platters, whereas solid state drives are using interconnected flash memory chips. The working speed of solid-state drives is much faster because it has no moving components like a hard disc device. Additionally, SSD's are more resistant to physical damage.
The SSD has very short history, and the rise of solid-state discs became around 2000's but only for net books. Until 2013 year around 80 million of SSDs were sold around the world, which is very impressive if you ask me. Also SSD became very available and a lot of big companies started making solid state drives. Some of most famous companies are Toshiba, Western Digital, Samsung , Hitachi, Seagate and many more. SSD were first used for laptops only, but later they became available for desktop computers too. First as a USB devices and later they were installed in computer with HDD together. Advantage over hard disc device is mostly a speed of booting computer system. But that's why they have so much bigger price when comparing with hard disc devices. For 1TB hard disc drive you will have to pay around 80 bucks, but if you want to buy SSD with 1TB space you will have to pay more than 500$. Also max storage available on SSDs is capped at 1TB and those solid-state drives are very pricy and rare.
If you ask some laic person about the difference between SSD and HDD they would say you that the main difference is in speed between those two drives. A desktop pc which is equipped with solid-state drives will boot noticeably faster than any pc with a hard disc device. Also, a pc with SSD will launch applications and programs significantly faster than HDD computer.
Since SSD has no moving components he will work longer than HDD and also he will keep your data safe if you accidentally drop your laptop on the ground of if something even worse happens. But if you even drop your desktop computer two or three inches from the ground you might destroy your hard disc device and lose all of your data. Also if you don't have enough money to buy solid-state drive with at least 120GB of space you can always combine and make hybrid system by combining SSD and HDD. With that move you will be able to save some money by buying SSD with less space. Then you should install your system on SSD and put other data on hard disc device.
So if you don't know which to pick between solid-state devices or traditional hard disc drives, we would recommend that you buy solid-state devices. But you won't go wrong if you pick hybrid, effectively combining the two protocols.
- Consider Small Business Consulting Services
To open a small business or to maintain smooth operations of an existing company, one has to focus on several areas. Even when things are not in place, a person might feel that all are under control. For this reason, a business owner should be looking out to hire a consultant for assistance. It is quite important to understand that a new business will require the owner's attention on several important things.
Firstly, a business should have a solid business plan that will help in identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the same. When an owner does not know how to go about with this, a consultant will help in setting the goals to assure that the strengths are in place, and also in enhancing the weaknesses. As the business environment is highly competitive, a business plan should be clear to help the company stand out from the others and to make the chances for it clear. This way, the business can survive in the competitive arena, and the owner can understand that there is a place for this type of business in the market.
Financial Analysis is also a kind of small business consulting service. Every business has to be on top, and for this financial analysis is a key element. A consultant will perform the same to look into aspects such as stability, liquidity, profitability, and solvency. A company must be capable of earning income and sustaining growth in both short and long terms conditions. Every business requires third party assistance and analyzing the solvency will ensure that the firm can repay their creditors. Also, liquidity refers to a situation in which obligations should not interfere with the ability of the business to maintain an optimistic cash flow. Stability is nothing but an overall review that will ensure that the firm can stay in the business without witnessing huge losses.
Marketing is another aspect of small business consulting that adds recognition to the business. We use an Orlando SEO service called Get the Clicks and they help people get to know what the business is all about and what they provide. To do so, one has to get a market planning done, and it has to be concise, clear and simple. Failing to create a marketing plan will leave a negative result in the business and could interfere with its operations. To create a marketing plan, the small business owner should conduct a market study, and this will provide an idea if the specific type of business will survive or not. Also, competition has to be researched as it is necessary to help a business stand up against the crowd.
These are few small business marketing services done, and there are many more available to help businesses meet success.
- Get Help Marketing a Small Business
A marketing consultant will help you figure out how certain things can be done in your small business. Even a website shop, an ad agency, and a marketing tactic fulfillment vendor cannot be of so much help to you. Notably, small businesses that utilize effectively and clever marketing are more successful even during bad economic conditions. But, the issue is that businesses find it tough to adapt their marketing strategies according to the varying economic conditions. It should not be surprising for successful businesses to hire this level of marketing knowledge and expertise. But many small businesses lack the knowledge that these consultants are even available.
A SEO marketing consultant is a professional who can assist your business through various processes such as creating, reviewing and executing online marketing strategies that will have a asting effect on your business. Such consultants can be self-employed professionals or belong to a part of a business consultancy organization. Either ways, such a professional is worth an investment as he can handle your marketing needs giving you more time to focus on other significant business requirements.
Before opting for a marketing consultant, you need to ensure that the one you choose is an expert in different techniques and strategies. Also, the professional should be capable of providing successful and creative marketing strategies that are customized to the requirements of your business goals. He should be having the expertise in assessing your existing marketing policies and come up with solutions for the problems in it. The marketing consultant you are planning to hire to help your small business should be able to come up with the problems that might arise during the marketing campaign in an efficient way. He should also gather and analyze your marketing data such as providing comprehensive campaign reports and communicate with you regularly to convey positive suggestions.
Especially, during recession it is common for most businesses to make use of less marketing campaigns as they do not wish to spend their money on anything as before. But, when a fresh approach is needed, you cannot risk your marketing budget by testing various strategies. This is a situation when marketing consultants will be of help. Such professionals will be capable of accurately assessing your situation and will provide proven marketing solutions to help your business. It is an additional expenditure to hire a marketing consultant, but it is worth spending.
- Get Started With Video Marketing For Your Business
In today's very competitive world of marketing on the internet, video is one tool that may really help you stand out above the crowd. It gives you the opportunity to interact directly to prospective clients or customers and explore anything crucial to your company. Uncover how to make the most out of video promotion because of the tricks through the following piece.
Create videos on a regular basis if you'd like to keep the focus of your consumers. If people are interested in you however you haven't been showing them anything new, they might grow bored with you soon. While you do not wish to overwhelm these with too many videos, you need to try making them at least once or twice a month.
Once you have shot the presentation, incorporate the URL at the end of the video. This will allow others to browse your internet site for lots more information regarding the products. This can easily be achieved with standard video editing applications. Nearly all of these can be obtained online for free or a minimal cost.
Be regular and consistent with your video communication. Result in the time to create videos on a routine schedule for publishing. Keep them basic, sincere and interesting. It could have a good impact on your own revenue once potential consumers see you regularly promoting your business. Putting your message out to your customers is the key for results.
A good way to make videos fun to view is by having more than one person in them. Interview a professional or just bring someone on with you who is interesting to watch. The more entertaining the individuals in the presentation are, the more likely viewers tend to be to dial in to what's being suggested.
Product manufacturers or merchants should produce videos detailing the way the product or service can be applied in various ways. For example, while duct tape is very good for tubes, Duck Tape has created how-tos for a million other tasks, even how exactly to construct a wallet! This results in amazing viral video success on their part.
Tell watchers to execute a specific step in your videos. This is better known as the "call to action". In the event that you provide a newsletter and you want folks to see it, get them to opt-in for the mailing list described within your message. However, to be able to make this work, it's vital that you make this process effortless.
Your opening and closing must both be scripted. Tell your viewers your name, everything you represent and then discuss the video's content. The video should close with your business name and an enticement to check out a hyperlink to your website.
A primary blunder of people new to online video marketing is they attempt to design their videos like a commercial. This is a big turn off. People do never wish to view advertisements on their pcs. Instead, try to make your videos about happenings in your industry or events at your business.
Competition is furious, especially on the Web. Hopefully this article has offered you some encouragement concerning video marketing and taught you everything you must know to get started. Your next productive move in business could be just a few clicks and a camcorder away, so what are you waiting for?
Business Continuity planning for emergency breakdowns
This document is meant to provide a business continuity plan for Food and Basic life support items producers, distributors and retailers. All in all we intend to give corporate employees a comprehensive decision making matrix, that allows them to keep on operating, as normally as possible, within a contingency scenario – the transition period we call The Event – which includes a Reset of the banking and financial systems worldwide.
For the ones who proactively take action to inform everybody impacted, one way or another, in the food and basic items retail and distribution chains – from the producers to the end customers – this can be done in several ways: either through e-mail by sending the link to this page, or printed and handed out. The printed document can be put in an envelope and left anonymously in the inbox of any store or slipped under the door of any local retail store manager's office. Also, it can be personally handed out, using the suggested Protocols for advising leadership
It is of the utmost importance to carefully read the full document and once you are sure everything was correctly assimilated, the information can be forwarded to other colleagues and corporate hierarchies. For decision makers in corporate organizations, this document should be handed out along with the open letter for corporate executives
A Business Continuity Plan for producers, distributors and retailers of essential goods
If you received this document it means the whole planetary banking system – will be or it's already – in a state of forced Reset in order to purge all type of corruption and criminal operatives and to replace it with a fair system for all human beings. It is a moment that was prepared for years around the planet. When this ends, everybody will be much happier than today.
More details can be found in the document Community Leaders Brief" and below is a short excerpt from it:
There will be no cash available other than what is already in circulation for a maximum time of possibly 2 weeks. The intent and plans of these lawful agencies in charge are hoping for is a best-case scenario of 3-5 days for the banking system to be offline. However with so many variables at play, the exact time it will take to … this changeover, in reality is unknown at this time. This lack of cash amongst the world's populace clearly may create some hardships in various locations as some may panic for not being able to access their money via the normal channels."
It is supposed to happen overnight so within the first hours of the day some things need to be taken care of and preferably have them sorted out or planned already.
When all worldwide banking systems are unreachable, all cash dispenser and money wire transactions will be blocked for a certain period of time. In the best case scenario it should last for just a few days at most. Still there is a chance for it to last for an extended period of up to 2 weeks. If everything goes well with the Reset, not more than that.
In this context it is better for all of us to use mental flexibility and cooperation in order to adjust rapidly to this unexpected contingency situation and maintain social order, giving priority to the people in the first place, making sure everyone is taken care of, followed by the urgency of maintaining the infrastructure we use today and will be needing tomorrow. Destroying something today means tomorrow it will be inexistent.
Therefore it is of crucial importance to go along with your duties and day to day routine and keep it as normal as possible until this transitory situation stabilizes.
The ideal situation would be to ensure that the commercial and business activities that fall under your supervision or responsibility remain operational. For that to happen is of the highest importance that the information flow among your colleagues and customers shall be as honest, transparent and assertive as possible.
Having this in consideration we designed specifically for this scenario a layout of a possible Business Continuity Plan for your consideration:
1. Persons with cash will be able to do shopping as usual.
2. For the rest of the people NOT having cash you need to be prepared with at least one photocopier machine for at least one cash register or terminal. If possible, it would be better to have more functional terminals.
The photocopy machine will provide the copy of: 1) personal ID document of the buyer 2) debit or credit card copy of the same buyer and 3) receipt. This process is applied to all customers not having cash for their daily shopping. The documents 1 to 3 will be copied on the back of a personal free will declaration (see section C) that allows the seller to cash in the amount from the personal account of the buyer at any time in the future after the banking system is back online.
You will need to inform people, at the entrance, through a visibly displayed sign or flyers about the unusual procedures during this transition period so that everybody is reassured they can get their goods. You will need to mention also: 1) the Reason for why this is different than other days, 2) the Options that each buyer has and all the required documents before entering the shop (to avoid chaos at the payment terminals or cash registers), 3) the Estimated Period of time for these protocols to last and 4) An internet address (URL) which can be this site for people to get additional clarifications about this transition period.
The personal free will declaration can be based on the following template, which will get official recognition in most countries:
1. Seller identification data, date of document emission, physical address of the document emission.
2. Statement of sovereign free will acceptance from the Buyer part of the Shopper transitory conditions:
Name, First Name under the title of Buyer declare under my free sovereign will that the attached documents (1. Buyer´s ID, 2. debit or credit card, 3. cash register ticket of the purchase) are valid and represent myself in relation with the banking institution and the Seller that provided the goods listed in the copied receipt.
I declare under my free sovereign will that I allow Seller Business Name under the title of Seller in this document, to withdraw the value of this shopping from my account as soon as the banking system is operational.
Therefore I accept for this Seller to keep the original copy of these 3 documents that are representing my direct relation with this banking institution and with the Seller and undersign.
Signed by the Buyer
Signed by the Cash Register Operator from the Seller part.
Signed by the Manager or Supervisor from the Seller part.
Original (for Seller) signed by three persons Buyer, Register operator and Manager or Supervisor.
Copy (for Buyer) signed by Manager or Supervisor and best if it has an official seal of the Seller.
1. Copy of the Buyer´s ID
2. Copy of the Buyer´s Debit or Credit Card of the same owner
3. Copy of the Cash Register Receipt.
Additional information
Some officials might show up themselves to either really support or just apparently support this transition momentum.
It is recommended to ask them for a clear identification and keep a copy of their ID document in a safe place. If possible, perform a validity check of the document with the available resources at hand, telephone, Internet, Manager or Supervisor.
It is recommended to ask the official who is he working for and have him or her give a clear explanation. If possible perform a corroboration and validity check of the information provided.
The most relevant hint to look for in the answer of this person is if it is on duty for the government or if it is on duty for the people.
In the first case it is best to silently avoid any conflict or debate. He might even try to close the business for supposed security reasons" or cause disruption. If this is the case it's not clearly with the highest regard for we the people neither for the business. In this situation accept its way until further clearance but MAKE SURE the document outside at the entrance remains in place at all cost and try to provide a date for reopening. See if there are others retailers in the vicinity. If there aren't any and your shop provides basic items for the area around, the best option is to maintain it open and functional or else the most foreseeable scenario is that you have it vandalized and pillaged in a very short period of time.
If the second answer is given as he/she really works for the people ask what is his or hers plan to support this situation. The main idea is to keep the infrastructure working as normal as possible during this transition. If so, than you have a real ally that you can rely on, and will help you in your efforts for the benefit of making this transition as smooth as possible.

BEECH BOTTOM - To fully understand how far the old Wheeling Corrugating property has come, David Lieving says you have to understand where it was just a few months ago.
Lieving, manager of business retention and expansion for the West Virginia Development office, said it was difficult to see the loss of steel jobs in the Upper Ohio Valley over the past decade-plus, "but a new economic engine is driving a lot of the growth now."
"That's a good thing for Brooke County, for the community of Beech Bottom and the region as a whole," he said. "I look forward to seeing more of this kind of growth down the road as well."
Lieving, in Brooke County this week to celebrate Tulsa-based Sheehan Pipeline's new operations center, said they're looking at spin-off opportunities as the oil and gas industry takes root.
"When we start to see more announcements, particularly on the manufacturing side, it really does have an economic impact on the community," he said.
Sheehan has upwards of 500 workers locally and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to set up a staging yard.
"They'll all be coming in and out, spending money in the community," Lieving said. "They'll be spending money in the community - supporting local hotels, supporting local restaurants. They'll buy gas and food. That all has an economic impact that will be felt across the area. Just look at Beech Bottom, it's already being revitalized. It's good to see."
Lieving said his office spends a lot of time "working with existing companies, that's really where a lot of growth in the economy is coming from." With the gas pipelines going in, Lieving expects to start seeing secondary growth in the manufacturing sector.
"We have the pipelines helping to get natural gas into the marketplace," he said. "But what are they going to do with the derivatives coming out of the gas? The derivatives are typically used for other manufacturing purposes. I think we're going to see a revitalized chemical industry here, as well as plastics manufacturing.
"One of the reasons the chemical industry grew here originally was because of cheap natural gas," he added. "It's available again, there's a long-term supply. It really puts us back in the ballgame in terms of being competitive."
The paint lines remain intact inside the corrugating plant, and village officials remain hopeful that as the oil and gas boom picks up steam, demand for steel products will revitalize the local steel industry. Lieving said he doesn't rule it out, saying above all they want to make sure the paint lines stay in Brooke County.
"I think there will be some things happening with that," he said. "I can't say what ... but it's not unreasonable to think that the paint line could be restarted. We're working on it."
Lieving also said they're not ruling out landing an ethane cracker plant, a high-value project.
"We're still actively seeking a project, and more than one is being considered," he said, saying it would be a "smaller facility" than the multi-billion dollar plant proposed by Shell in nearby Monaca, Pa.
"The big driver is locating an adequate site and gaining the financing to support it," he said.

Why do we discourage converts? I know that Naomi did so with Rus, but Moshe doesn't seem to do so with Yisro. Why wouldn't Judaism want to encourage converts? Furthermore is it a responsibility merely of the Rabbi performing the conversion or of any Jew who meets the convert (if it is the former how do we understand why Naomi dissuaded Rus)?

The way a local Orthodox rabbi explained it to me is this:
Being Jewish is harder than being a gentile, and (for gentiles) it's totally optional. Gentiles do not need to become Jews to merit a good life and olam haba.
However, once someone does become a Jew he has greater obligations. Doing (or not doing) certain things now is a sin where it was ok before. The sinning Jew is thus in a worse place in his relationship with God than he would have been had he not converted. Conversion is also permanent; you can't decide to "go back" and thus stop sinning.
Further, being a Jew isn't always easy in the world. We're persecuted, and throwing your lot in with us signs you up for that.
So partly out of a desire to protect and partly to not increase sin, we push back to make sure the candidate knows what he's getting into and is sincere. The Rambam (Issurei Biah Chapter 14, h/t DoubleAA) says we point out some of the easier and harder mitzvot that will now become obligatory, and we inform him of punishments and rewards. If the candidate persists, we welcome him in.
This Chabad answer to a question from a prospective convert addresses some of these topics well.
Because discouragement isn't supposed to be forever -- we stop after three times (not sure where three comes from) -- I would think that it's inappropriate for people other than the rabbis approached by the prospective ger to do this discouragement. It's their job, they'll do it, and if you also do it you're adding to the obstructions. As for why Naomi did it, two thoughts: (1) the formal process may not have been so codified then, and (2) that's an awful long journey to make just to be rejected at the end. I don't think we should take Naomi as a model for how "regular Jews" should treat would-be converts today.

Trojans Knock Off Converse, 9-0March 8, 2014
ANDERSON, S.C. – Earning its second 9-0 shutout of the 2014 season, Anderson University women's tennis blanked Conference Carolinas opponent Converse Saturday afternoon at Max Grubbs Memorial Courts.
The win gives the Trojans their second straight victory on the season after defeating South Atlantic Conference foe Mars Hill 8-1 last weekend. AU moves to 3-4 for the season, while the Valkyries stumble to 2-7.
The Trojans began quickly, sweeping the doubles round as senior Avery Owens and junior Karen Ching nabbed a 9-7 win at No. 1 position, while freshman Rebecca Bruning and junior Lindsay Gregory added a convincing 8-2 victory at No. 2. At the No. 3 spot, the sophomore duo of Alexandra Ebner and Nikkola Wichenko earned an 8-1 win.
With a 3-0 team lead heading into the singles round, Anderson kept the momentum as it recorded six straight-set wins. At No. 1, Ching added a 6-3, 6-4 win, while Owens grabbed a 6-1, 6-0 victory at the No. 2 spot. Bruning continued her singles success with a 6-0, 6-1 victory, while Ebner defeated Converse's Samantha Sheffield 6-1, 6-0. Rounding out the singles round, Gregory blanked Klaire Rouse 6-0, 6-0 at No. 5, and Wichenko crusied to a 6-2, 6-0 win.
Anderson returns to action on Tuesday, March 18 when it travels to GRU Augusta. First serve is set for 2 p.m.

5 Reasons Hollywood Needs to Stop Making Prequels
Every time a prequel craps all over movie goers' expectations from high atop a pile of money, there seems to be a common refrain among disappointed fans: How could they waste all that potential?! Afterall, a franchise loses its luster with each passing sequel. But the prequels should reverse the aging process, since they rewind the storyline to back before the original movie was ruined. The brainless jack offs in Hollywood must be trying to ruin these franchises. One thing you rarely hear people bring up is that it might be literally impossible to make a good movie prequel. After all ...
#5. The Past Was Better Before We Saw It Happen
When a magician hears the audience gasp and say, "How'd he do that?" he does not turn around and loudly announce, "Oh, the rabbit's in my assistant's ass." Similarly, professional writers know that there are some questions that their audience doesn't want answered, even though they think they do. Like a magician, a writer wants his audience to live in that space between knowing and wanting to know. That's what keeps them coming back for more. Unfortunately, when Hollywood studio executives hear the audience asking questions, they hire someone to start writing a prequel.
Questions invite thought, and audiences hate that.
Hannibal Lecter became a pop culture icon in part because he was gleefully engaged in the taboo act of cannibalism without any specific reason motivating him to be such an evil bastard. 2007 brought us Hannibal Rising, which explained that Lecter was a tortured youth during WWII who got tricked into eating his dead sister.
If we're going to call the young Vito Corleone scenes in The Godfather Part II a prequel, we'll go ahead and bestow the same status on the first 30 or so minutes of Rob Zombie's remake of John Carpenter's Halloween. The film delves into the childhood of Michael Myers, making crystal clear exactly how a young boy could commit such brutal murders. The short version is "He grew up in an abusive environment surrounded by a bunch of shitty rednecks."
Queue the tune from Deliverance.
Of course, this completely undermines exactly what was so scary about Michael Meyers. Carpenter went to great lengths to make Meyers straddle the line between inhuman nightmare cipher, and guy next door. He grounds everything in the real world by giving him a name, and putting him in a mental institution. But then he gives him a mask and motives that are intentionally vague. Carpenter knew that the blank mask allowed us to project whatever we wanted onto the character and that this is what we found scary. Rob Zombie apparently knew a few things he picked up about human psychology while watching Law and Order: SVU.
But the grand prize for supplying information that the audience doesn't need or want goes to the Star Wars prequels. The very thing that made the original films cool was that they combined Eastern mysticism with the typically dry sci-fi genre. Well, it turns out that all that mysticism was an accident. As the prequels explain, the Force was grounded in science, not mysticism. It's a bacterial infection.
This is what makes telekinesis possible.
#4. Characters Need to Be Less Interesting to Make Sense
The natural inclination of a film franchise is to show the main character progressing and changing. If the movie works, the character is a little different at the end. Writers want the characters to evolve and so do we. A prequel hits "reset" on this process. You're starting with a character that is either the same one we wanted to see change when the original movie started, or one that's worse, and had to become more interesting to become that less interesting version the franchise started with.
Badass murder cyborgs > Whiny little shits.
In the Star Wars prequels, Anakin spends three movies whining about the inevitable change we all know is coming. It's the opposite of suspense. It's like listening to a joke that you already know the punch line to being stretched out over six hours. Unfortunately, that's what's needed to make Vaders bad ass nature in episodes IV-VI an act of progress.
Man's inhumanity to man is a terrible thing to behold.
The other problem here is that casting is borderline impossible. Despite giving a much better performance as Sabertooth, Liev Schreiber seems like he's pretending to be someone we've already seen played by Tyler Mane. The problem isn't Schreiber, who can act circles around Mane. It's that his character by nature has to be less interesting. Otherwise, he makes no damn sense.
Speaking of which ...
#3. ... Or They Can Just Make No Sense
The other option is to go ahead and ignore everything we know about what the character becomes in the future, which is what the Star Wars prequels did to Yoda. When we meet him for the first time in The Empire Strikes Back, he's a wise old Muppet who tells Luke that war and battle do not bring glory and that a person shouldn't be judged by his size or fighting abilities.
"Size matters not..."
Unfortunately, the second movie, which took place several decades before he dispenses his wise advice, needed an awesome sword fight for its climax. So we get Star Wars' answer to Gandhi hopping around like a coked up-circus monkey, flailing his lightsaber around before leading clone troopers into a glorious battle against a droid army.
"...as long as you have a laser sword and super powers."
Comparing his actions to what he tells Luke in Episode V gives the impression that Yoda has either:
A) Turned into a bitter old hypocrite who is conveniently neglecting to mention that he didn't always live up to the standard that he's setting for others
B) Conveniently forgotten everything that happened a couple decades ago, making him more deserving of his cultural reputation as a stoner than previously suspected.
C) Is sabotaging Luke by steering him away from the violent tactics he knows get results.
The Star Wars prequels are so excessively guilty of abandoning logic to shoe horn characters in that fans had to make up a bunch of wild theories to try to make a couple of characters fit better. The absolute silliest excuse was when they brought in C3PO so that viewers could enjoy more of his witty banter with R2D2. Turns out that Luke's dad built him when he was a little kid. Fans had to put up with that little gem of WTF so Lucas could have more of his beloved robot comedy duo taking up screen time. But this means that the characters know way too much for any of the subsequent movies that everyone loved to make sense. Are they pretending to be in the dark with everyone else about who Vader really is? Are they secretly pulling the strings behind the scenes?

Is sleeping while not lying down (for example in a train or in a car) not as good as sleeping lying down in bed? How do you compare 1 hour sleep in a car vs an additional 1 hour night sleep in bed?

There is one major problem with sleeping in a sitting position - gravity. When you lie down both your blood pressure and heart rate decrease. This allows your body to relax more and, perhaps, increase the rate at which you recover from illness or injury. I'd imagine if you're body didn't have to work as hard getting blood to your brain while you're asleep, you might sleep better.
Everything that goes up must come down and your head is propped awfully high on your shoulders. Maybe I'm a light sleeper, but having my head bob around makes it hard to sleep, not to mention limbs flopping around when muscle relaxing REM kicks in or just loosing your balance completely and falling out of your chair. I think I'll stick to lying down.

text: Hey folks, I am here with other lessons that I think you will all enjoy. To start things off I will be showing you "how to draw a tribal eagle", step by step. Drawing tribal art can go either two ways, easy or hard. If you are the type of person that likes to draw some pretty detailed tribal art, then you might not like this lesson because it's pretty simple. The eagle that you will be making is going to be drawn from the side view or profile view. The tribal lining is going to be easier to recreate and follow because I made sure that it was a lesson that most people would be able to tackle. Whenever I draw eagles I like to keep it simple because these birds have so much natural detail, that sketching them out can be so very time consuming. Anyways, have fun drawing a tribal eagle folks and I will be back with more for ya'll.

We have been eating like kings now that summer is unleashing its bounty upon us. Grilled tofu or veggie burgers have been flanked with fresh local corn and potatoes, as well as peas, beans, lettuce, and tomatoes from our garden. Ontario peaches and blueberries, along with our raspberries, have made for the most wonderful fruit salads. While all this has been awesome its not particularly blog-worthy, so I thought I would regale you tales of dishes that didn't quite make it.
First up: my attempt at a roasted Sunday dinner. I made this back in the early spring when the weather was crisp and cold (and snowy) and I was in the mood for that sweet taste vegetables get when they are roasted. I loaded everything into a clay baker and topped it with some tofu that had been quickly fried and coated in balsamic vinegar. The end result was disappointing. I didn't season the veggies enough and I think the whole thing needed a gravy of some sort. I will revisit this in the fall.Next up: I was going to call this Shaked and Baked Tofu. It was good, but not much different from other recipes I have made (like baked tofu for kids). Calzones with white beans and white sauce. This was actually very tasty but was such a minor spin on this recipe that I didn't think it warranted its own post. Just use white beans instead of seitan, and use a simple white sauce instead of spaghetti sauce. Lastly, Thai noodles with baked tofu. This one I want to rework very soon. First, I let my noodles soak too long and they broke up in the wok. Secondly, I finally found some tamarind but I squandered it in this dish. I would like to make a nice tamarind chili paste and come back to rework the flavours.

Sunday Roast: i attempted this last spring around easter. i also wanted some sort of gravy wetness to it, like the mushy texture the potatoes would get from sitting in meat broth. My solution was condensed cream of mushroom soup (had to read a lot of labels to find a vegan one, but it wasn't impossible) and some veggie broth thrown in whenever it looked dry. sounds weird, but my omni boyfriend LOVED it. I didn't use tofu so it was lacking some protein, but i did include brussel sprouts and i believe yellow squash for color. The omni usually hates brussel sprouts, and they were his favorite part. its nearly impossible to over cook, comes out a little ugly, but hits the spot. even better as leftovers.

As a huge fan of Sunday roasts, this post excites me. Your veggies and tofu look great, but I think gravy IS a necessary component of a true Sunday roast. Think of the way it smothers the veggies and adds flavor and warmth! And I like serving roasts with whole grain and mushroom sausages because they soak up the gravy like a dream.
Have you ever tried the delicious, crisp, yet airy Yorkshire Pudding?
Those things are THE most fantastic part of a Sunday roast, but I make them with eggs. I found this vegan recipe online- it looks like it would work pretty well- and it doesn't require egg substitute products:
Maybe you should try it? I want to carry a flag and march across the Earth declaring my love for Sunday roast. I want you to feel the same way!
Sorry for such a long comment! Love your blog! ;)

Make a Tape
- Tape recorder
- Blank cassette tape
- If you have access to a tape recorder, help your child make a tape for Dad to play on his way to work.
- Sing favorite songs, say nursery rhymes, tell him a story, talk about what you do when he's at work, tell him you love him and why you're thankful for him.
- This makes a great Father's Day gift. You can also use this idea for a grandparent or other special person.

I'm using Direct2D to render a PNG image using a ID2D1BitmapRenderTarget and then caling it's GetBitmap() function and rendering the image using ID2D1HwndRenderTarget::DrawBitmap().
Some of the images rendered this way are clear but others appear blurry. I did some research and followed a tutorial to make my application "DPI Aware" but it didn't help.
(sample with a blurry image on the left)
What could cause the rendered image to appear blurry? Has anyone experienced this issue before? What can I do about this?

The FBI publishes Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted each year to provide information about the officers who were killed, feloniously or accidentally, and those officers who were assaulted while performing their duties. The FBI collects these data through the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program.
When reviewing the tables, charts, and narrative summaries presented in this publication, readers should be aware of certain features of the Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted (LEOKA) data collection process that could affect their interpretation of the information.
Beginning in 1937, the FBI's UCR Program collected and published statistics on law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty in its annual publication, Crime in the United States. Statistics regarding assaults on officers were added in 1960. In June 1971, executives from the law enforcement conference, "Prevention of Police Killings," called for an increase in the FBI's involvement in preventing and investigating officers' deaths. In response to this recommendation, the UCR Program expanded its collection of data to include more details about the incidents in which law enforcement officers were feloniously killed and assaulted.
Using this comprehensive set of data, the FBI began in 1972 to produce two reports annually, the Law Enforcement Officers Killed Summary and the Analysis of Assaults on Federal Officers. These two reports were combined in 1982 to create the annual publication, Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted.
The deaths of the law enforcement officers that resulted from the attacks of September 11, 2001, are not included in the trend data in the tables of this publication. Because of the unique nature of the data from this singular event, including these extreme values in rate or trend data would skew data for most analyses.
For several years, the FBI's UCR staff worked toward the goal of publishing all of its reports solely to the Internet, which removes many of the limitations of hard copy books without losing the value of the information being provided. Beginning with the 2005 edition, the FBI began producing Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted exclusively as a Web publication. That report, along with the subsequent publications, contain all the information that was published in previous years' hard copy reports but with the benefits of navigable files and downloadable information.
The E-Government Act of 2002 promotes more efficient uses of information technology by the federal government. This online report is a product of the FBI's effort to reach a larger audience more efficiently. The FBI welcomes your feedback about this electronic report via a short feedback form. Your comments will help us improve the presentation of future releases of Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted.
Raw data. The data presented in Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted provide information about law enforcement officers killed and assaulted in the Nation broken down by state and region. More detailed data (including the source data from which this publication is created) can be obtained by contacting the FBI's Criminal Justice Information Services Division via e-mail at email@example.com.
LEOKA data for 2010. Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted, 2010, will be published on the Web in the fall of 2011.
For questions about this information or for Web assistance, contact the FBI's Criminal Justice Information Services Division at (304) 625-4995.

Quick question, in the lecture notes to a thermodynamic course I'm taking,
$$d\underline{S}=\frac{d\underline{U}}{T}+\Big(\frac{\partial P}{\partial T}\Big)_{\underline{V}} d\underline{V}$$
But everywhere else I've looked I've found (by rearranging the fundamental thermodynamic relation:
The two are obviously extremely similar, however I don't believe they're equivalent in general (I believe you'd have to make further assumptions about the system, particularly $P=kT$ at constant specific volume, to go from one to the other.)
Right now I'm just asking if anyone knows which relation is the more general. I was of the opinion that the fundamental thermodynamic relation was always correct, but now I'm doubting myself. Thanks.

The text of these talent cards say "Exhaust this card to recover 2 fatigue." and "Exhaust this card to recover 2 stress."
Exhausted talent cards recharge in 4 turns during Encounter mode, but there doesn't seem to be a reference to them recharging in Story Mode. Logically, this means that you should be able to use them every few minutes.
What stops you from using these talents to clear your stress and fatigue tracks between encounters?

Tutorial building your first app bug
Sencha Touch version tested:
- 2.0
- only css suggested by the tutorial
- Android 2.3.3 on HTC Desire and Samsung Gio
- I am running the full source code of the "building your first app" tutorial for sencha touch 2.0
The titles in the titlebar are too large to get displayed totally. That's why the app shortens them with "..." normally. This is great, unfortunately, sometimes this doesn't seem to work and the window seems to expand outside my screen (see attached screenshot)
use http://localhost/sencha/docs/#!/guide/first_app from the sencha SDK
- go to the blog window
- click on the second or fourth blog entry.
- Title made short in the titlebar e.g. "Sencha Touch 2.0 - ..." instead of "Sencha Touch 2.0 - a tutorial"
- Title is not shortened and screen becomes too wide (and thus unusable)
- attachedsenchabug.jpg
- none

I have been using a French Press coffee maker for quite some time now, and I have tried a few methods for removing the spent coffee grinds from the vessel. It is always a bit of a chore to this in an efficient manner without making too much of a mess. I am hoping to find a way that is quick, but does not result in grinds all over my hands or excess grinds going down the drain. I wonder if there are any accepted or creative methods for this action.
Pull press apart. The filter and the filter holder should unscrew from the press stem and handle
Shake off excess grounds from each component into compost bin
Leave on sink rack to dry (over night). When dry, tap or shake off the last of the grinds into compost and wash as normal
My favorite way to clean a french press is to add water into the spent grounds and pour all the contents at the base of a rose bush. It's an easy way to get all the grounds out, and the coffee grounds are good fertilizer for acid loving plants. Obviously, this isn't an option for everybody, but I used it often at one apartment I lived at where my landlord kept a rose garden out front(with the approval of my landlord, of course!). The roses looked great that year!
I have a small sieve (like the one pictured) that I use for this purpose and it is very quick and easy. Slosh water in the press, pour through the sieve and dump grinds in the trash!
My mother-in-law came up with a brilliant idea. Put a large viva paper towel in the sink and push it down a bit. Swirl water in the pot and slowly pour it over the towel. You must do this a few times then you can just toss the paper towel!
My solution is much like @Michael's. I have a fine mesh sink strainer, like this one:
I put a little water in the French press, swirl it around, and dump it right in the strainer. Since you grind coarsely for French press coffee, it forms a pile and doesn't run through the strainer. Although from experience, even more finely ground coffee will pile up and form its own filter and not run through the strainer without help.
Then I just pick it up and knock it into the garbage can.
A long handle strainer works so much to my liking that I've come back to share its wonders.
It's so simple! And very inexpensive. I love it!
Having bought a close-knit wire sink strainer that I like, my system is complete.
With a 6.5" x 6.5" (165 mm²) flat, square-faced strainer, I have ample room to pour directly into the strainer without performing any type of difficult or careful procedure in the morning.
The foot long handle works well for knocking out the grinds into the trash/compost.
I usually fill up the press with water, swirling it around a bit to get the grounds floating around, then flush it down the toilet. IANAP* but I've never had trouble with it clogging there. (though be cautious if you know you have bad/sensitive pipes, and folks with septic tanks might have additional worries?)
*(I Am Not a Plumber)
Cleaning it out immediately makes it easier to rinse all of the grounds out of the glass pot as well as off of the various layers of pressing/filtering mechanism.
You could dump the majority of the spent grounds into a plastic bag (keep the same one for a week, not like they're going to rot or smell up the house) before putting them into the trash if you use a paper trash bag and don't want wet, leaky spots all through it. What little remains shouldn't be too bad on your pipes.
(I'm not a plumber either, but always do mine this way, daily, and have never had a problem with the pipes, have lived in most places at least five years and this one going on 10.)
What you could do is: Find an empty yogurt container with a lid. Drill a bunch of small holes into the lid (using a very sharp pencil and poking shallow holes may work if you don't have a drill handy).
Fill the bottom of the yogurt container with water. Take screened plunger out of press and thrust lightly, repeatedly, into container until free of most all grinds. Rinse remaining grounds off of plunger with a very light stream of water, as to not add any excess water to the container.
Add about a cup hot water to the press. With a wooden spoon handle or a upside down chop stick rapidly agitate the grounds in the press scraping at the sides and bottom of the press. Move from agitating with spoon hadnle or chopstick into a circular stir and begin to swirl the French press with the other hand and slowly start the tipping pour into the yogurt container with a joined centrifugal momentum until the point where the water and grounds are near to washing out of the press. Note: stiring will need to be a bit of a corkscrew, working from the bottom up whilst both tipping and swirling the press with the other hand, until finally, just before pouring out the grounds, the stiring tool is completely removed to allow for a clean and heavy pour.
Quickly rinse off stir stick into the container with a low flow of water. Add additional cup of hot water into the press and forcefully swirl out the rest of the grounds. (after the second rinse it might only take a small amount of wAter swirled with haste to make for a more final rinse.) With a paper towel, wipe out any stragglers and wipe off stick. Probably will want to was both with warm suddsy water and dry.
Place lid onto container and flip it over slowly and set to drain in sink. (for extra conscious people: before topping with lid set a paper towel across the top of the yogurt container to use as an extra filter and then secure lid by pressing down firmly at all points). Gravity should be on our side as long as care is taken to ensure that the lid is held to the container until the point that an edge of the lid is touching the bottom of the sink.
For me, french-pressing coffee is most easily done by incorporating an expendable piece of paper like 1/2 of a page of a newspaper. Note: My method here assumes that a few coffee grounds down the sink is not only "not really very bad", but in this case it's unavoidable.
First, when making of the coffee: I dump my freshly-ground coffee grounds into the newspaper piece. This keeps all the grounds in one place, minimizes mess, and makes for an easy transfer into the potful of water by simply folding or funneling the grounds into the pot.
Secondly, when it's time to clean the pot: Dump any residual pot liquid into the sink, (if you don't want to have the grounds go down the drain, just put a small piece of paper towel into your wire drain strainer and that will be like a coffee filter). Then use a spatula or fingers to whatever to get the grounds out of the pot and Dump into that newspaper page. Then roll it up and either throw it away or put it into compost (newspaper is OK for compost). Then rinse out the pot in the sink and dump out the rinse water, trapping the remaining few grounds in the wire drain strainer/paper towel thing.
I have a gold reusable coffee filter I place over the drain in the sink. I pour the leftover contents of the French press into the filter. Then rinse out the press, getting the remainder of the grinds. Dump contents of gold filter into compost pile or garbage. Rinse out gold filter. Easy peasy!
When I used a french press, I would pour out the excess liquid and then let the pot with the wet grounds dry out. When grounds are dry, they are muuuch easier to scrape out. Then I would give the pot a rinse with hot water and use a brush. It's not a good idea in general to wash out coffee pots with soap because of the residue might affect coffee flavors.
I scoop the grounds out with a long handled metal spoon. Then rinse the rest into the toilet.
Fill it up with water, swirl, and dump it in the toilet. Easy.

one of my steam radiators has a leak on the bottom, away from the valve (has been checked, my husband has changed out the valve). can I use a spray sealant to seal this leak? (like FlexSeal)
From reading on the Internet, FlexSeal looks like a scam ($59.70 for shipping, signs you up for $29/month "membership" without asking). It looks like it's similar to automotive rubber undercoating, which you can buy locally for ~$5 per can.
Don't know if it would work for your purpose. But I can recommend J-B Weld. Sand and clean with acetone, then apply a thin (1 mm) layer of J-B Weld. See also the answers to this question.
drill a hole in the leak, tap it pipe thread, install dope with pipe plug
or weld or braze or solder
I found a small hole in our steam radiator when we were refinishing it. I ended up using Loctite Steel Stick to fill it in. It has lasted a full season and I believe that it will last for the life of the radiator.

Area volleyball teams head to regional meets Saturday, battling for a spot in the state tournament to be held the following weekend.
Wellington has battled to stay above .500 this season, and has lost some matches recently.
Coach Cherity Elder is trying to get her team to just relax and play, instead of thinking so much.
"It has been a real roller coaster. It's all mental right now," she said.
The team tends to play well for awhile, and then not so well for awhile.
"We do really well at practice. If we can get past the mental art and play that way, we will be in good shape," Elder said.
The team has played evenly with some of the top teams in the area, and Elder said the team realizes it can play with those teams, but has had trouble getting over the hump.
She said the team started the year passing well, with not many errors, but has started having a lot more errors lately.
But she is hopeful they will relax and play within themselves more at sub-state.
Wellington will be going to Mulvane and will play Mulvane at 2 p.m. Other teams in that regional include Rose Hill and Winfield.
In Class 1A, Caldwell and Argonia are among the top – ranked teams in the state. Caldwell will play at the South Haven regional that includes Burden Central, Caldwell, Dexter-Cedar Vale, South Haven and Udall.
Argonia will be at the Chetopa regional, along with Buffalo-Altoona-Midway, Chetopa, Colony-Crest, Longton-Elk Valley.
Oxford will be at the Pratt-Skyline regional.
In Class 3A, Conway Springs is at the Garden Plain regional, with Anthony/Harper-Chaparral, Cheney, Garden Plain, Haven, Hutchinson-Trinity, Kingman, Wichita-The Independent.
State tournaments for all classifications are Nov. 1-2.
