Bought two 8GB of these in the past,takes a little time to get them but nice product and kind of cool to have your name on the drive. Think I will order again because the price is good as well.
Just ordered 2 with an engraving on each for $19.98 + free shipping. Would have gotten more, but the code only took off $30 for 1, and $60 for 2 or more.
Bought two - Christmas is coming. Free shipping as well. Wicked cool colors to chose from!

I want to backup my
/home partition on
/dev/sda6 using
partclone, a command line utility. To do so, I first have to unmount the partition that I want to backup. Most of the time, this is easy, but
/home is used by so many processes that it can't be unmounted without first killing all those processes.
So, the thing I'm looking for is a way to boot Ubuntu, without mounting
/home, so I can back up the not-mounted
/dev/sda6 partition. Is that possible?
To be clear, it would be nice if this special boot could be 'one-time-only'. So I'm not looking for ways to change
/etc/fstab in such way that
/dev/sda6 won't be mounted. That's because that would require me to change
/etc/fstab twice each time just to make a backup.
I'm aware of the fact that there are other backup solutions available, such as
deja-dup. I'd like to use
partclone, though.

Hello Brian's avatar!
I wondering if Clint has seen the Puppet Warp feature in Photoshop CS5?
I'm also wondering about the developper story for Windows Live Sync, as Dan said it's easy to find some settings you want to get synced:
# Windows Settings (Transparency , Theme, Backgrounds , Sounds, Taskbar Item, ...)
# Windows Live Mail settings (read / unread feeds ...)
# Windows Live Writer Settings
# Visual Studio Settings
# My FTP program and HTML editor settings
So basicly, all settings
I came across a blog this week that mentioned there was no PDC this year. Is this true? If so, is there another big conference planned around the same time?
The LIVE Photo Gallery importer has always been like that and it's the best one I've ever used.
It's the photo viewer built into Vista that has the dumb importer that just lumps everything into one folder.
Re: Sync'd App Settings, I would love that...sort of a consumer version of a roaming profile. Just a guess, but I imagine that Windows Live Sync uses a configuration file that maps to registry and file based resources. To keep things simple, I think your app paths will have to match from PC to PC.
I wonder why Live Sync couldn't use your SkyDrive for storage and than you could have a lot more...
[Edit: Just checked, according to the website, Sync uses SkyDrive. That's even weirder to me. Why only use 2GB when you have 25 avaiable anyway?]
I use CodeRush with Refactor Pro! in everyday development. Why? Because it's much lighter that R# and handles big projects a lot better and has all the features I really need
Maybe something on C9's todo...but it would be great to hear from Windows Live team, not only to talk about the upcoming beta/release but also learn about some of the decisions they had to be made. A few questions I would have...
1. Live Essentials Beta is coming but are the Windows Live services being released in final bit form? If so, how did they did they achieve that? challenges?
2. What are the differences between SkyDrive and SkyDrive (Wave 4)? I'll assume they had to make some major changes to the core to support Office Web Apps.
3. What was the thought in separating Sync folders from the rest of SkyDrive?
...I could go on for hours.
I'm having problems getting the latest episode from the iTunes RSS feed. Anyone else?
Are these videos streamed with IIS smooth streaming, because on my mac it doesn't seem like it.
Where can I buy a PDC laptop?
çelik kapı çelik kapı fiyat çelik kapı çelik kapı fiyatları çelik kapı çelik kapı fiyatlari
Live Mesh/Live Sync
1 - What is up with a 2GB limit??? Last I check there was 700+ connect requests for more space on Live Mesh. Where's the pay for more space model at minimum? I'm sorry but this just seems insane to me. Help me understand what I missing please.
2 - I definitely agree about increasing the number of settings that get synced. I guess I think of it like a roaming profile stored in the cloud.
Do you guys watch Colbert? Last week his bleeps were replaced with "Bing" in some type of an advertising campaign... you should have followed suit.
Btw the intro music volume was super loud in this video. I would say the volume was 5x louder than your voices. Or at least that is how it sounded my tv.
They were given away free at PDC 2009. You could try ebay.

my code is as follows: preload.c, with the following content:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int __attribute__((constructor)) main_init(void)
printf("Unsetting LD_PRELOAD: %x\n",unsetenv("LD_PRELOAD"));
FILE *fp = popen("ls", "r");
then in the shell (do the 2nd command with care!!):
gcc preload.c -shared -Wl,-soname,mylib -o mylib.so -fPIC
LD_PRELOAD=./mylib.so bash
!!! be carefull with the last command it will result with endless loop of forking "sh -c ls". Stop it after 2 seconds with ^C, (or better ^Z and then see ps).
More info
- This problem relate to bash in some way; either as the command that the user run, or as the bash the popen execute.
- additional Key factors: 1) perform the popen from the pre-loaded library, 2) probably need to do the popen in the initialization section of the library.
if you use:
LD_DEBUG=all LD_DEBUG_OUTPUT=/tmp/ld-debug LD_PRELOAD=./mylib.so bash
instead of the last command, you will get many ld-debug files, named /tmp/ld-debug.*. One for each forked process. IN ALL THESE FILES you'll see that symbols are first searched in mylib.so even though LD_PRELOAD was removed from the environment.

A fluorescent tube (home-based) works on the principle of discharge of electricity through gases, as far as I can tell (I don't know much about cathode rays or gas discharge)
What happens inside the tube to create this pink color? Wikipedia says that it is because the mercury vapor is absorbed and its spectrum is changed.
Do all the fluorescent tubes (especially Compact Fluorescent Lamps which also use mercury) have this same pink color during dying?

ELM GROVE - Sometimes it's hard to get high school kids to focus. Just ask their teachers.
It might be even harder to get a group of high school girls who have won 16 of their 18 games this season to focus on a team that has won only eight of its 25.
So when No. 1-seeded St. John went into its OVAC Class 1A semifinal with No. 4 Paden City, Fighting Irish coach Jerry Magistro was faced with that conundrum.
''Sometimes you've got to watch going into games like (this),'' he said. ''You tell your kids don't take anybody lightly, but sometimes, you know how it is with kids - they're kids. It's hard to get kids up for every game. You try to do that as a coach, and that's what we try to do.''
The Irish coaching staff succeeded as Hannah Absalom pitched her fourth no-hitter of the season as St. John beat Paden City, 7-0, on Ben's Field at the I-470 J.B. Chambers Complex.
''Unfortunately, we don't get to see a lot of pitchers that are quite that good in the regular season,'' Paden City coach Jeanne Fox. ''Our bats needed to come around. We needed to be a little tougher out in the field in that one inning. We had our breakdown inning (the third).''
It was a different feeling on the other side.
''We did what we had to do to win,'' Magistro noted. ''Hannah Absalom does what she does all the time, pitched her game. We didn't hit like we wanted to hit; we're used to hitting. Sometimes that happens.''
Absalom fanned eight of the first nine batters she faced as the game was still scoreless as it went into the bottom of the third, but that's when the junior showed off her talents behind the plate as well.
With two on, Absalom reached on an error that scored Kylie Falcone and Kaydie Coppa as St. John took a 2-0 lead.
Abbey Adams went in as a courtesy runner for Absalom and was brought in on a Morgan DeLuca hit into left field.
DeLuca then crossed the plate as the Wildcats were distracted with trying to tag out Caitlin Sliva.
After Absalom added three more strikeouts to her total, Amber LaMotte came home in the bottom of the fourth on a Cheyenne Harris groundout to make it 5-0.
Absalom then drove in Falcone and Coppa for a second time on a double into left field to arrive at the final score.
The junior carried a perfect game into sixth, but walked Graeson Baker to lose her chance at her third perfect game of the year.
''We wanted to get everyone (into the game),'' Magistro said. ''It wasn't about trying to win the game in five innings. These kids come to practice every day, and I think it's good for them to get into an OVAC game to get that experience. It wasn't about how much you win by or this and that. As long as everybody got to play, that was our goal (Thursday).''
The Fighting Irish accomplished that goal as they sent 11 different players up to the plate, including Adams, a quite little freshman, who ended St. Johns' hitting as she doubled into right field in the bottom of the sixth.
''This girl here doesn't say two words,'' Magistro noted. ''She comes to the gym, works hard. I don't know where that came from. That was one of the best hits of the day. She shot one out there that I didn't think she had it in her to do it. Again, these kids work hard. It's a great group of kids.''
The Fighting Irish will try to capture back-to-back 1A titles, but will have to wait until Saturday after Madonna and Bishop Donahue tonight face off to see who they will face.

Newsome, Ansonia advance to Class S final
MIDDLETOWN — Besides the breakaway speed, instinctive quick-step moves and humble personality, Arkeel Newsome has another intangible that makes the Ansonia High junior tailback so impressive.
He has real good short-term memory.
That was never more evident than Sunday when his fumble ended a drive deep in Hyde Leadership territory, preventing the Chargers from extending its two-touchdown lead in the second quarter.
Newsome was hit by Donnery Evans, and Hyde's Ezekiel Nixon recovered at the Hyde 17 with under five minutes left in the second quarter.
Newsome responded in the second half with two long touchdown runs of 69 and 58 yards on back-to-back possessions to help the top-seeded Chargers to a decisive 41-13 win over Hyde Leadership in the CIAC Class S semifinals at Middletown High.
"I was pretty mad after the fumble, but I knew that I couldn't pout and had to get right back on the field and make up for it," said Newsome.
That he did. Newsome rushed for 207 yards and four TDs on only 14 carries to help the Chargers advance to the Class S state final next weekend against North Branford, a 62-27 semifinal winner over Woodland, at Rentschler Field.
Newsome's third-quarter touchdown on a 69-yard sprint gave him his 115th for his three-year varsity career, breaking ex-Ansonia standout Alex Thomas' state record of 114, set from 2004-07. Newsome now has 116 in his career.
"That was a really nice feeling," said Newsome. "It's a great accomplishment and one I am really proud of. The offensive line made some great blocks and it allowed me to get through the line and get to the end zone."
After Newsome fumbled in the second quarter, Ansonia quarterback Jai'Quan McKnight went over to Newsome to let him know that it was OK.
"I just told Arkeel to think about the next play because the next play could change the game," said McKnight.
McKnight's pep talk worked as Newsome scored on his first two carries of the third quarter, as the Chargers took a 34-0 edge.
Defensively, Ansonia's line Jh'mel Trammell (two quarterback sacks, Matthew Simon and Tyler O'Connell all provided strong pressure on Hyde quarterback Kevin Jones throughout the game.
Also providing strong defensive efforts were Ansonia senior linebacker Hezekiah Duncan Jr, (sack) and junior linebacker Saiheed Sanders, who had two of his three quarterback sacks in the first half.
"I wasn't doing well picking up my blocks (as the fullback on offense)," said Sanders. "I just tried to do my best to make up for the missed blocks on defense. Speed is one of my assets and I just tried to execute well and play with confidence and stay humble."
Hyde was forced to punt six times in the first half, four coming from its own end zone. Still with good field piostion, Ansonia struggled and led only 7-0 after the first quarter. Two fourth-down plays were stopped inside the red zone by Hyde.
"We just had to play with a lot of heart and determination," said Trammell. "We knew it would be a tough game. We just had to keep our heads and give a 100 percent effort."
Newsome scored two rushing TDs in th first half on runs of 26 and 14 yards. The turning point came right after Newsome's fumble. Ansonia stopped the Howling Wolves (10-2) on three plays, forcing them to punt with 3:09 left in the half.
That prompted Ansonia assistant coach Steve Coughlin to shout from the sidelines. "That is a great three and out, and now let's take it to the house."
Newsome returned the ensuing punt 25 yards, thanks to a great block by Raeshaun Finney, to the Hyde 15. Just when it looked like Hyde would stop another drive after two rushing losses on Newsome and McKnight and an Ansonia motion penalty, the Chargers came up big.
On a third-and-14 from the Hyde 25, McKnight lofted a pass to the right corner of the end zone to Finney, who made a great catch in the back of the end zone with 1:16 left in the half. Arthur Kwaskiewicz's PAT made it 21-0.
"Finney's catch was huge," said Ansonia coach Tom Brockett. "That was a great play. That was the turning point for us."

According to my favorite Christmas movie, "It's a Wonderful Life," every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings.
Well, I don't know if that's true, but I thought my mantel could really use some this year, so I began a search for inspiration.
And when I saw this on Pinterest, I was completely inspired. Click here for the original post which is written in Polish.
This creative blogger used paper plates to create a gorgeous set of wings for her mantel, so I tried my hand at my own version. Hers are much more elaborate than mine, but I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.
It actually only took around 14 plates for the set of wings, so the cost is next to nothing, which is always a bonus.
I didn't use exact science for cutting the plates, just sort-of cut them in pieces slightly less than half for the top sections of the wings...
And then a few odd-shaped pieces for the bottom sections of the wings...
Then, I positioned all the pieces on a table to get a good mock-up and did the wings in a mirror image of each other.
Then came the hot glue.
I just held the pieces in place as I glued them together.
And then, to get a fluffy effect, I took them outside and sprayed on a little spray adhesive and covered them with "snow flakes".
For a mounting block, I found a piece of scrap 2x4 and painted and weathered it a little.
Then, I just glued on the wings and added a piece of jute for hanging.
That was it! So if you know an angel in need of some wings, you can whip some up for just a couple dollars. Or, just ring a bell-- I hear that works, too.
See more of this mantel here and stay tuned for much more Christmas to come.

Honda Crosstour 2012
Beginning with the MY 2012, the Accord Crosstour is renamed to just "Crosstour", dropping the word Accord in the front. However, the front of the new Crosstour is still very much like the best selling Honda Accord Sedan! Available in two trim levels, the Crosstour EX and EX-L, the crosstour comes standard with 3.5L V6 engine that has the power of 271 horses and a max torque of 254 lb-ft.

Revision as of 19:54, 19 September 2010
The amateur radio service has a good chunk of the Internet address space (188.8.131.52/8), and it's not being used for its intended purpose: a worldwide packet radio network. Meanwhile, the rest of the Internet is crowding into the remaining address space and will no longer have any left in the near future.
The address space isn't being used because of a chicken-and-egg problem: the necessary digital repeaters aren't available for users, and there are no users to justify building the repeater network.
Simultaneously, the United States is debating a bill to create an Internet kill switch, also known as the PCNAA bill. Echolink, IRLP, APRS gateways, and many other services assume the Internet's original distributed design won't allow a single entity to take out the entire network. If the PCNAA passes, this will no longer be true. For true redundancy, a non-critical network can and should be built by the amateur service to avoid this single point of failure.
The cost of the equipment has finally come down to the point where even a modestly funded amateur radio club can afford to set up a small regional network by themselves. Through advocacy and standards development, Noisebridge is building a packet radio network modelled on the original vision of the Hinternet.
Frequently Asked Questions
Current Status
Coordination is taking place on the Noisebridge CQ list. If you or your ham club has access to a tower and a little cash, sign up for the CQ list and speak up so the folks in the next city over can connect to you.
Chris Verges, the address maintainer for 44.4/16, has given the go-ahead for allocation of up to a /22 for experimental use of the HSMM gear. The SFBA 44.4/16 allocation is currently two /17s: one is for 1200bps and the other is for 9600bps. Hams are needed to volunteer to maintain radios for the initial allocations in the /22 before it will go through.
During September, Noisebridge members will be touring the SFBA ham clubs and giving presentations at their monthly meetings to gather the necessary volunteers.
PAARA: Friday, September 3
SBARA: Friday, September 10th
EBARC: Friday, September 10th
ORCA: Saturday, September 11th
CCCC: Sunday, September 12th
MDARC: Friday, September 17th
SFARC: Friday, September 17th
HRC: Friday, September 17th
ARCA: Friday, September 24th
CARC: Wednesday, October 13th
The next meeting for the Noisebridge HInternet group will be Saturday, October 2nd. The meeting will be 3 PM at Noisebridge.
Network Architecture
The radios will be 802.11-based HSMM gear. See Steve, KB9MWR's page on how to tell your firmware to use HSMM compatible channels.
The architecture will be an 802.11s (open80211s implementation) mesh in the backbone, with fixed towers forming the core of the network. Each tower will service a subnet, and each subnet will itself be an 802.11s mesh. Each subnet mesh will be independent of the backbone mesh and all other subnet meshes. Towers will route packets between subnets and filter traffic to ensure compliance with FCC part 97 regulations.
There are four major bands suitable for use by hams transmitting spread spectrum: 420-430 MHz, 2.4 GHz, 3.4 GHz, and 5.8 GHz. Within a region, one band will be used for tower-to-tower connections, and the other bands will be available for use by non-tower radios.
The initial goal of the first wave of HInternet backbone deployment is to transmit a "golden packet" between New York and San Francisco. Further backbone deployments will concentrate on expanding the network towards the north and the south to cover the rest of the continent.

The 5 Creepiest Unsolved Crimes Nobody Can Explain
#2. The Glico Morinaga Case aka the Monster With 21 Faces
In the 1980s, the Japanese food giant Ezaki Glico was blackmailed by a mysterious group of apparent super villains, calling itself the Monster with 21 faces.
It started with two armed men who broke into the home of the president of Glico, kidnapping him in front of his family. The men held the executive in a warehouse, calling the company and demanding 100 million Yen and 100 kilos of gold bullion. The victim escaped the warehouse before he could find out whether or not his company was willing to pay to ransom his ass. None of the bad guys were caught and that's too bad, because the "Monster" wasn't through.
Artist's rendition.
A couple of weeks later, several cars in the company parking lot were set on fire. Then, the "Monster" began to send letters.
"Dear Glico, How have you been? I'm fine, but this weather is crazy right? Guess that's why it's called global warming. Hahaha. We set your car on fire."
In the first letter (sent in a plastic container along with hydrochloric acid because why the hell not?) the Monster claimed they had poisoned Glico's candies, which resulted in Glico losing $21 million dollars worth of product that had to be pulled from shelves. The number may be a coincidence, but then again, who knows? The Monster taunted the police by detailing in a letter its method of entry, what typewriter it used to write the message and where it found the container with the acid in it. It didn't matter; cops scoured the country for them and came up empty.
Soon enough, just to prove they were toying with everyone, the Monster suddenly sent a letter stating its forgiveness of Glico, and moved on.
"We forgive you!"
It Gets Weirder:
The Monster then turned its attention to another food company: Morinaga. Another letter was sent, similar to the Glico one, only this time, investigations turned up a total of 21 packages laced with the highly toxic sodium cyanide. Being the polite kind of shadowy creepy terrorist/terrorist group, the boxes were helpfully labeled with "Contains Toxins," an example all criminals should follow.
Warning: Contains Bomb.
The police, getting desperate, thought they caught a glimpse of the mastermind behind the Monster during a money drop (the group had demanded cash from another company). An officer described the criminal mastermind as a man having "eyes like those of a fox," which would give him the nickname "The Fox-Eyed Man."
Clearly the man is a Bond villain waiting to happen.
The same mysterious man was spotted again later, in a car during a sting operation. He escaped, but the cops found the car, and a radio transceiver that he had been using to listen into all of the police communications during the sting.
So finally they've got a description of one of the bad guys! That resulted in... nothing. The Monster tormented several corporate giants for years, mocked the police, walked the streets as some of the most wanted men in the world and not a single one of them ever got caught. A police superintendent got so frustrated by being outmaneuvered by the Monster that he resigned in disgrace. Oh, wait, we misread that. He actually, committed suicide by fucking setting himself on fire.
Before disappearing into the night like goddamned Keyser Soze, the "Monster" released a letter mocking the dead man, and announced it would stop torturing food companies, apparently taking this entire thing as some sort of childish game. The Monster's final words to the public:
We are bad guys. That means we've got more to do other than bullying companies. It's fun to lead a bad man's life.
- Monster with 21 Faces.
P.S. See you soon.
#1. The Lead Masks Case
In 1966, a Brazilian boy flying a kite happened upon the bodies of two engineers lying next to each other in the grass. There was no sign of how they had died before the boy stumbled across them and he claimed he found them that way. We're sure the cops took a good hard look at him to make sure he wasn't like that murderous magical kid from The Twilight Zone who could kill people with his mind.
Or the host of the Twilight Zone who could kill people with his gun.
Anyway, before long the hill was crowded with policemen, scratching their heads at an utterly baffling crime scene--if it was a crime at all. The two dead men were dressed for their funerals in fancy suits and impermeable coats. There was an empty water bottle nearby. There were no signs of violence on either of them.
Why is it called the "Lead Masks Case"? Well, that's the baffling part. The dead men wore lead masks, a type used to protect against radiation.
The two guys were identified as electronic technicians from the area.
The police gathered evidence and eventually created a reconstruction of the day of their deaths. In it, the men buy their raincoats and go to a bar to buy bottled water. Whatever the reason, one of the men appeared rather nervous, and when they left the bar they went straight to the hill the boy found them at, then spontaneously dropped dead. Case closed.
Great job everyone!
It Gets Weirder:
A notebook was found at the scene. The notes inside translate to:
16:30 be at the agreed place.
18:30 swallow capsules, after effect protect metals wait for the mask sign
Well, they swallowed "capsules," so obviously that's what killed them, right? The problem is the note seems to imply they were waiting for something to happen after the capsules took effect, which means if they were poison, the two guys didn't know they were. Also, the men had a coupon to return the water bottle when they were finished with whatever they were doing, which also seems to imply they didn't plan on dying on that hill.
Toxicology tests could not be taken due to the victims' organs not being properly preserved (they were apparently left in storage too long, but we like to think the investigators took the idea of heart volleyball and ran with it).
So, what in the hell convinced them to go out to a hill, strap on radiation protection and swallow some strange capsules? What effect were they waiting for? What were the masks protecting them from? Was there some third party who convinced them to do all of this, saying the pills would, what, make them travel back in time? Or give them super powers? Was it all part of some 60s Brazillian version of Punk'd?

ER diagram software for Ubuntu?
Dia is a GTK+ based diagram creation program for GNU/Linux, Unix and Windows released under the GPL license. For more information click here
I've found MySQL Workbench to be most useful for creating "ER" diagrams.
Though the format is only MySQL Workbench specific I can take a diagram created in Workbench and export it to SQL and execute it against any number of SQL servers.
If you're working with MySQL this tool also doubles as an Administration and Querying tool as well providing the added benefit of integration between the three.
Umbrello can also create ER-Diagrams besides most other UML diagrams. In addition it allows you to export the Diagrams in form of code (i.e. in this case SQL).
try to use Astah Comunity, the application was able to create ER diagrams, class diagrams, etc.To develop applications that application is very suitable. I even heard the professional version could generate java code to class diagram and generate sql code for the ER diagram.
that application was built using java, so the application is multi platform.

1) Kejim Post [2 Secrets] {kejim_post}
>>Objectives: Investigate the abandoned Imperial outpost.
Engage Remnant forces in the area.
Yes, if you use the cheats you can get your Lightsaber and all Force
powers from the very beginning... and while it can be cute slicing & dicing
Stormtroopers, it certainly isn't the way the game is supposed to be played -
and you'll get to hack & slash plenty of Stormies later in the game.
You start - along with Jan Ors, your faithful Indian companion (Hi-yo
Silver, away!) - on a landing field on Kejim, hiding behind a Tydirium Shuttle.
Use this opportunity to fine-tune your controls, especially movement... you
probably won't have much time in the later levels.
"This is my last day on this shift." (Stormtrooper chatter) "Oh, yeah?
Where you moving?" "Sector 7 had an opening so I applied." "Not bad - should be
a quiet last day." Yeah, it's his last day all right.
Throughout the game you'll hear chatter from various Remnant (and other)
forces, especially when they can't see you or don't know you're there... some of
it can be a bit silly, and most of it is basic "Star Wars" hokey - but it's
still neat.
Around to your right - to the right of the shuttle as you face it - is a
stack of barrels and crates; if you get up close you can look between them, and
spot a pair of Stormtroopers approaching from the left. Take them out with the
Bryar Pistol (your default starting weapon) as fast as you can. In fact, if you
aim your crosshairs (in first person mode) right at that crack in the rock face
across from you, you'll be aiming right at the first Stormie's head when he
comes into view.
{Firing tip: aim for an enemy's helmet/head for the fastest kills...
otherwise you'll take a while, and probably some damage. Adjust the sensitivity
on your mouse until it moves quickly and smoothly... and just realize that the
enemies won't sit still while you're trying to target them. Also, try and kill
any officers first... not only does it help disorient the troops, but they
usually use rapid-fire weapons which can severely damage you.}
After they're dead, go back to the rear of the shuttle where Jan is
waiting... with the shuttle on your right, straight ahead is a door in the rock
(not the red one on the left... I have no clue where that goes; possibly it's
where you entered this level) - the first Secret Area is behind that door.
Again, note that Secret Areas aren't *required* in this game... skip them if
you don't need any items or you don't feel like jumping around to get them.
[Secret 1] - jump up to the top shelf and make your way around the back
of the crates for a Bacta Tank and a Battery.
Down in the alcove (blow away the Laser Trip Mines from a distance)
is a rack with an Instant-Use MedPack and 3 Ammo Packs. All throughout the game
you'll find racks like this... they always contain Ammo, and sometimes new
Go around the front of the shuttle and jump up on top of those crates
you fired from before... it'll take a little finagling, but you can get up on
top of that concrete ledge (yes, you can get on top of the Tydirium shuttle if
you want, but there's nothing up there). Carefully edge your way around the
rock wall and you can snipe on the Stormies before they see you. Shoot at the
octagonal (orange/brown) fuel tanks by the Blaster Cannon to blow them up and
take out several Stormtroopers. Watch out for the Stormies on the ledge above,
and make damn sure you keep Jan alive!
Once they're all dead (and more will probably appear from around the
corner), explore a bit... that big door is, unfortunately, shut... and the
controls are blasted - you'll have to find another way to open it.
To the end of the ledge and through the small door... in here are a
couple of crates and an Armor Regenerator (the green machine) - to use the
Regenerator (and the orange Ammo Regenerators scattered throughout the game),
just aim your crosshairs at it and hit 'use'. Each Regenerator has a limited
supply of whatever, and will beep and go dark when it is exhausted.
"The Remnant usually has pretty tight security - make sure you search
any officers for keycards." (Jan)
Through the small gray door, kill the Imperial Officer, and walk over
the corpse to get a Key. Bodies will disappear shortly after they're dead, so if
you need a Key to something and you don't have it, look around for an Imperial
(Remnant, actually) Officer's corpse that is still hanging around. Keys
(Security and Supply) are automatically added to your inventory, and you don't
have to do anything special to use them... just go up to the door lock (or
Crate, or whatever) and use it as normal; no searching through your inventory to
find the Key.
Take the circular lift up, then into the next room and take the
rectangular lift up. At the top, hit the switch at the front of the room...
whoops, you just turned on the base defenses. "That do it?" "No, but you managed
to get everyone's attention."
Back down this lift, along the ledge & kill the Stormtroopers - after
you can duck into their alcove for Ammo & Bacta (two Bacta canisters on lower
levels on either side of the crates, one on higher levels). There's also a fuzzy
gray viewscreen in this alcove - just aim at it and hit your 'use' key. Hit
'use' again to cycle to the next view (if there is one) or 'jump' to exit. These
viewscreens can come in handy - they can show you what lies ahead, give you clues
about what to do next, or just allow you to map your trail of destruction.
Back down the circular lift, and use the Blaster Cannon (aim at it and
hit your 'use' key) to blow open the door. (Yes, you can go down another level
on that circular lift, but it won't do you any good right now, and there's a
ceiling Turret waiting down there) If you want, you can even shoot out the
windows of the control room above with the Blaster Cannon.
Inside, get on the grated lift, and get off at the next level... note
that this door is green, meaning it should be unlocked and will open when you
approach it - but it actually isn't; this is a slight goof in the game. The
switch next to the door will open it, but you don't want to do that - it's
not just the fact that plenty of Stormtroopers will come out of side rooms to
challenge you; if you go through this door, there's a door up ahead on the left
that is locked... you need to open it from inside the room.
Note that when you get on the grated lift, the word 'Checkpoint' will
briefly appear on the screen... these are spots at which the game will
automatically save; if you die or otherwise fail the level, the game will
restore automatically to the last Checkpoint. They are also semi-important
points on each level... hitting a Checkpoint means that you've passed some kind
of hurdle and are well on your way.
"Stay here, Jan - cover our back." "Okay, I'll wait here... don't take
all day."
Drop into the lift shaft, through the small door. At the left end of the
corridor is a glowing red machine... you can shoot it if you want, but then be
prepared to *run* down the other way. If you don't shoot it, go down to the
other end of the corridor and use the wall switch to shut it off. Note that in
the next room - beyond the switch - there are a pair of grates in the ceiling,
one of which has a fuel tank sitting on top of it; you can blow that away from
below, but it just alerts the Troopers to your presence unnecessarily.
Circle around the red machine, and take the square lift up to the red
room. There are 'oxygen tanks' at the top of the lift which you can shoot if you
want (they explode). Shoot the grate and drop through, kill the Impy and get the
Key. Facing down the length of the room, there are switches on the right... use
all of them to unlock doors in the area.
Jan will run in to join you - don't shoot her! (I did once... silly me)
"I think this is a primary control console." There's really only one way to go
from here in order to continue the level, but if you want to do some additional
killing then skip this next paragraph and go on to the next.
{continue as normal} Go through the door... go left and straight through
that door, through the right door, go left - Gronk Droid (and several Troopers)
in the next room (you can kill the droid if you want).
{for some additional killing} Out through the door, turn right...
straight ahead of you is the door leading out to that grated lift, to the left
is a storage room with a few Troopers inside - go ahead and punch their tickets
(TDs - Thermal Detonators - and a Battery in here behind one of the crates). If
you shot at the fuel tank sitting on a grate from below (the opposite end of the
corridor from that red machine)... this is that room. Out of that room, turn
right... straight down to the end and through that door, turn left and through
that door. Kill everyone in here, then back out through the door - go through
the door straight across from you, turn left (Gronk droid and circular lift in
this room), and continue the level.
{continuing as normal} Up ahead on the right is a circular lift, and
around to the left is a large and small Crate... open the small Supply Crate
(face the red side, crouch, and hit your 'use' key) for a Bacta Tank, and get up
on the large crate to get the Light Amplification Goggles (defauly key for these
is capital O). The Light Amp Goggles will only be on top of the big crate in the
"Padawan" difficulty; on all other difficulties they will be in the smaller
Supply Crate.
Take the lift to a darkened area below; use your Light Amp Goggles
(default key is capital O) and work your way around the crates on the right for
Secret 2.
[Secret 2] - Bacta Tanks... there's a small Mouse droid in the area
which might lead you to this Secret Area.
"Kyle - the schematics show that the base is divided into three
Get into the next room (you can shut off the Goggles now), open the
small door and crouch through it. "There was a disturbance in Sector 10 this
morning." "What sort of disturbance?" "A droid set off the security system on a
lower level. That's the third time this month." "It won't be the last time
either." "Guess it was a scurrier." (I have no idea what they mean... perhaps
the Mouse droid?) Kill the Impys, and get the Blue Code Key (the blue symbol on
the wall... get close enough and you'll get a message about your Datapad
updating), then use both unlit switches on that panel. Look closely at the
graphic on the wall... that's a map of the base. The 'cross' at the right
(almost looks like a bullseye) is the walkways you'll be out on in a moment...
you'll see the one walkway goes straight off to the right into nothing; that's
the 'hidden' section of the base, which you take care of in level 2.
Through the arch door, shut off the forcefield and up the stairs - the
door straight ahead leads back to the room where you found the Light Amp
Goggles. Go left, down the corridor... the view slit in the wall (that corridor
on the left) looks out over the walkways. At the end of the corridor, get out on
the walkways.
Go through the green insignia door (watch out for ceiling Turrets - on
the lower levels if you're fast enough, you can run past them without getting
hit), through the door, through the small door on the right and up the stairs.
Hit the switch in the control room (this shuts off the ceiling Turret in the
room you just passed through) and pick up whatever you need (Ammo, Armor
Regenerator, Bacta).
Back down these short stairs and go straight... past the stairs going
down, past 2 locked doors, left (at the base of the stairs going up), through the
door, and down. Down the stairs, kill, and on the right is another of those
semi-circular control panels... this one is coded, so you yourself can't use it.
However, Jan can... 'use' the control panel, then escort Jan down here -
quickly, she's under fire.
The fastest way to get back to Jan: when facing into the control panel's
alcove, turn left... head down to that end of the room, and on the left is a
door. Through that, up the stairs, right, and through the door on the right (not
the small gray one straight ahead). Through here, back out to the walkways, take
the right-hand walkway, down this hall and in the first door on the left.
Back to the second control console... Jan does her thing. Note that even
if you run all the way back, she'll follow you, even if she does drop behind.
Once you get into the room, stand next to the alcove containing the control
panel - don't get right in it.
Up the stairs and through the door, turn left, and up those stairs...
first go in the small gray door straight ahead, hit the switch on the panel (to
shut off that Turret). From here, you can check out the green door on the
right (as you exit this small control room)... behind the green door you'll find
that circular lift you were on earlier - through the small gray door in here
(past the lift) is a Supply Crate with a Bacta canister in it. The other
unlocked door in this corridor has a weapons rack hidden behind a pair of fuel
Down the stairs, jog left into the corridor, and the first door on the
left is the one that Jan just unlocked for you (across from the red console).
Inside, kill the troops (for fun, shoot the glass panels), and get the Green
Code Key (again, your Datapad will update). Continue through the stairs section
of the room (Bacta and a Large Shield Booster in here), through the door... look
Go left, past the stairs and through the door at the end (on the right)
and back out to the walkways... go through the red insignia door (more Turrets),
through the small door on the right and up - use the switch, then back out and
up the next set of stairs (straight ahead and on your left).
There's a semi-circular ledge which gives you a view of the room where
you would have ended up if you had gone past the stairs. Go left and up the lift
(Small Shield Booster in here on the left) and hit the switch (shoot out the
windows if you want). Go out on the narrow ledge and hit the switch out there to
activate the computer at the walkways. Back to the control room, kill the Impys
coming up the lift and get the Key.
Back down the lift, down the stairs, go left and through the door
(through the room you saw from the semi-circular ledge). There's a red glowing
column... to the left are 2 Bacta Crates, to the right is a control panel. Use
the panel (the blue one under the graphic of the satellite dish) for some
foreboding... use it a total of 4 times. Note the suspended corridors in the
viewscreen - you'll be there soon.
Down the corridor - past the locked door - and Regenerators are on the
left. Through the unlocked door (watch out for the fuel valves, get the
Batteries), and out into the suspended corridor.
Run down the tunnel... as you get to the end the game will break to a
short cutscene - the tunnel collapses behind you. There's a door up ahead on the
right, then stairs going down... there are 3 Probe Droids at the bottom.
There's a square lift on the other side of the glass panel... don't use
it yet. Use the other lift instead (Ammo & Regen at the top), through the door
to the other tunnel arm and some Thermal Detonators. This tunnel will blow as
well, so back down to the Probe Droid room and take that square lift up.
Watch out for the Probe Droids out here. You can't destroy the dish, but
on the same ledge as the dish is a Large Shield Booster (look past the dish and
you'll see the control booth where you turned on the base defenses way back
when). Along the top of the tunnel - you can shoot into the control room from up
here - and drop down into the control room. Through the door on the other side,
kill the Impys, and get the Red Code Key.
Through the grey door - the red column room is on the right. Through it
and back out to the walkways. Enter the codes at the appropriate consoles (kick
out to your Datapad occasionally)... you'll have to go back and forth between
the three switches for each Code Key. After all the codes are entered, go around
to the fourth side and hit all three switches.
Across the new walkway and through the door to end the level.

How would someone implement Agile process concepts as a solo developer? Agile seems useful for getting applications developed at a faster pace, but it also seems very team oriented...
Sign up

I remember reading a thesis about Cowboy Development, that is essentialy Agile for solo developers, but I can't remember where I found it.
Further to the answer from klez (all good suggestions), I'd suggest the following:
These things apply probably to both solo and small-team (2 or 3 developers) situations.
ADDED: sometime after I wrote this answer, I found this conference talk and was very impressed: Personal Kanban: Optimizing the Individual Coder
Ultimately, I define Agile really as "doing what makes sense for your team and customer and not adhering to old practices because they happened to look like they worked in the past."
Wow. I'd try to keep a friend on the hook that I could call when I was in trouble - and talk through the coding problem. You know what I mean... just the act of explaining a problem out loud brings a solution to my mind 90% of the time.
Agile works just as well for individuals as it does for teams. It's about finding a process that works for you, and allowing you to adapt to changing circumstances once your project has already started. It's also about delivering value to your customer regularly, regardless of whether or not the software is actually "finished".
Agile processes are highly iterative. Work is done in short TimeBoxes/sprints/cycles/iterations. Some design work may be required up front, but can be refactored as you learn more about what it is you need a system to do. Unit testing is the backbone of nearly all Agile development methods, giving you an indication of whether your software is working, and if additions/changes to your software will break the existing code base.
If you adhere to BDD/TDD, allow your requirements to change with the wind and can adjust your feature priorities accordingly, if you build your entire system and run all of the tests often, and if you deliver working code at the end of each sprint, you are already Agile.

I would like to run an Interface Zero campaign, but it is my first contact with the game and I have played Cyberpunk 2020 years ago. Could you describe some good concept for introductory campaign, that would allow me and my players to gently embrace the concept of the game?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
There are two systems for interface zero. Savage Worlds and True20. In order to provide an answer that fits both concepts, I shall be vague on mechanical details.
The genre of Interface Zero is summarized thus:
The first commandment when running a game that you and your players are unfamiliar with is: Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity. Blatantly steal a plot from a novel. Looking at the TAP, my first thought is to steal the plot of Vernor Vinge's Rainbows End. It's trivial to adapt that world into cyberpunk, and offers a refreshing take on augmented reality separate from the one that the more traditional books (Shadowrun, for example) offer.
Don't start with a campaign. Start with a series of 1-2 session games designed to familiarize everyone with the rules and the settings. Run a game with the TAP, run a game with Corporate Espionage, run a game in the Sprawl. Encourage your characters to make throw away characters for each of these.
Once you've calibrated the groups' expectations and formed either an implicit or explicit social contract, sit down with your players and ask /them/ what they want their game to be about. If you've run vivid (yet simple) games, there will be aspects that have "hooked" them. If they want to be part of an organization, let them forge the history of the organization through a game of Microscope. Especially with cyberpunk (with its many options for "naah, we don't want to do that", you are at your players' mercy, and that's the best way to have it.
Rough Campaign Map The Curious Case of Edwin Rashomon
Roughly modeled after Rashomon, it's a great way to have the players explore a scenario with different characters (across multiple games) but a consistent theme. Watch the movie first.
Act 1: The court case, an exploration of a TAP enabled crime scene.
This first game, players will be corporate types, hackers, tagging crime scene for a criminal case. They will chat with the various investigating officers, and play with the TAP rules to create a scene for the court. You'll want a hacker, an icon, and a technician at least, and play them off the competing lawyers.
Act 2: The Husband's tale
The bodyguards and troubleshooters of the husband. They'll explore corporate politics and some troubleshooting. End the act with the encounter with the bandits.
Act 3: The Bandit's tale
Gritty gangland. A gang, taking the role of the bandit, doing shady work with their own views on what really happened. End the act with the encounter with the husband and wife. Make sure that the players can play the encounter out the way they want to, identical results are not very interesting.
Act 4: The Wife's tale, reconstructed
TAP and hacking. Get a visual reconstruction of the event from the wife's implant and associated devices. Lots of hacking, some palm-greasing. End the encounter with explorations from different feeds, presenting the wife's view.
Act 5: The court case. Let each player take a different side and have them argue it out.
This is designed so that you can show the players many different and vital aspects of the setting around some consistent narrative, but it may be a bit ambitious.
Here's an old favorite. It assumes the PCs are on the wrong side of the law, and are a group.
The PCs come across a top-flight industrial espionage guy dying in an alley. There's another such guy there, too; they've just killed each other. In between them lies a dataROM/diskette/whatever; it's obvious they fought over this diskette. The cops are coming. Like, NOW.
Obviously, that ROM is worth a lot of money. If the PCs don't pick it up, they are stupid and you should not play with them any more. Once they do pick it up, the following things become evident:
Let your players plot and scheme and call in favors and have cool fights, which gives you a handy excuse to lay out your cyberpunk setting for them. In essence, they take a mostly-self-guided whirlwind tour of whatever dystopian near-future you've devised for them. Amp up the stakes, ramp up the danger...you know.
Finally -- finally...! Finally, the PCs manage to crack the ROM, preferably during/immediately following the biggest fight in the game (I always pictured the end of Leon aka The Professional, with a healthy heapin' dose of the subway chase from The Warriors). What's on this? What cost so much blood, so much money? What caused all these betrayals, all this mayhem?
It's the corporate guy's home videos of his grandmother, the last time he saw her, before she died.

The default keyboard shortcut (on Windows at least) for switching focus to the next window is Ctrl+F6, and for switching to the previous windows it's Shift+Ctrl+F6. How can I change this to Ctrl+Tab and Shift+Ctrl+Tab respectively (or some other pair of combinations which is not used by default)?
You need to add the following to
This will map Control-Tab and Control-Shift-Tab to cycling between notebooks.
For some reason, using the Tab key sometimes fails, but any alternative shortcut could be used (for example Ctrl-`).
On Windows
Apparently Ctrl+F6 and Ctrl+Shift+F6 are default Windows keyboard shortcuts, although I was only aware of the Tab variants.
Because of this, these commands on not (apparently) configurable from within Mathematica. Further, Mathematica does not recognize the Tab commands.

Officers and firefighters spent part of Thursday afternoon searching in the county for a man who reportedly suffers from Alzheimer's disease. In the end, the man was located after he returned home, a Sheriff's Office spokesman said.
The 67-year-old man was unharmed, according to Capt. Andy Dedeke with the Sheriff's Office.
The man was discovered missing around 1 p.m. Thursday in what Dedeke described as the 24000 block of 172nd Street. It is believed the man left his residence on foot at some point.
Members of the Sheriff's Office and Leavenworth County Fire District No. 1 began looking for him. Dedeke said authorities searched about 30 minutes before it was discovered the man had returned to his residence.
Dedeke said authorities did not get to the point of issuing a Silver Alert, which is used to help find missing people who are 65 years or older or suffering from dementia.

Ali Rogers, 20, from Laurens, S.C., appears on stage modeling a swimsuit on Jan. 8, 2013, at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. / Miss America Organization
(CBS News) Miss Oklahoma and Miss South Carolina have moved one step closer to claiming the Miss America title this weekend.
Miss Oklahoma Alicia Clifton's tap dance performance to "Money Can't Buy Me Love" earned her top honors Tuesday night at the first day of the preliminary Miss America competition at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. The 21-year-old from Oklahoma City will take home a $2,000 Amway scholarship.
Miss South Carolina Ali Rogers took the trophy for the first round of the Lifestyle and Fitness category after modeling a white Catalina swimsuit. The 20-year-old from Laurens, S.C., will take home a $1,000 Amway scholarship.
Contestants are divided into three groups and compete in different categories during three nights of preliminaries. Their scores will factor in the finals, which will be broadcast live on Saturday.
The 92nd title holder will be crowned at the end of the pageant by Miss America 2012 Laura Kaeppeler from Wisconsin.
Among the contestants is Allyn Rose of Washington , D.C., who was among the top eight in the 2011 Miss USA pageant.
Rose, 24, has said she will undergo a double mastectomy after the pageant. Her mother died of breast cancer when she was 16 and she has learned that she has the genetic mutation that predisposes her to early breast cancer.

Ultimate Racing - Those Were The DaysWritten by on December 6, 2011 Contributors: Phil Kunz Inside a 1954 Ford Stock Car
There was a time when the term 'Stock Car' really meant 'Stock.' That was the way the sport started, and there are many that wish it was still the case. It was time when production cars right out of the showroom were modified to race on tracks around the country. In many cases, a significant portion of the production car was converted in the quest for speed.
In later decades racers trended toward custom-built tubular frame cars and as such the small businesses focusing on purpose-built race car chassis began springing up. But even today, there is nothing like the look of a converted street car/ race car.
Such an example is this '54 Ford-based machine which was built by Dan Wright in 1966. During those 13 years before Wright got his hands on the car, it undoubtedly was on the road carrying its owner to work and the grocery store just like all its brethren.
After its transformation from grocery getting to trophy getting, Wright acted as car owner, racing the Ford from 1966 to 1967. Wright sold the car and a succession of owners would campaign it around the southern and middle portions of the country. Reportedly, this all-pavement car raced at Capital Speedway in Kentucky and the SportsDrome in Indiana. But it was at Fairgrounds Speedway in Kentucky where the car competed against the likes of legendary NASCAR builder Harry Hyde.
Longtime vintage race car fan Mike Swain from western Ohio was attracted to this car and accomplished the restoration. But it doesn't just sit, it's regularly exercised with vintage race groups.
An inspection of this car reveals some of the period building techniques and modifications that were used in car building more than four decades ago. For example, while the car sports its stock frame and stock floor, the front coil springs were heated and compacted for a lower stance. In the rear, the parallel leaf springs were heated close to their ends and were shoved up where they rested on the frame. It made the suspension much stiffer. Let's take a closer look at this former NASCAR stocker.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
A side view of this classic stock car shows its level stance, but it's actually sitting about 5 to 6 inches lower than stock thanks to manipulation of the coil springs.The rear view retains pretty much a factory look with the stock rear bumper being used. Note that the taillights have been removed and flared over with sheetmetal. You certainly didn't want any glass fixtures back there on the track. In addition, the factory gas cap, just above the bumper was also flared in.There was an interesting technique employed in attaching the seat belt to the floor with chains. This is one old-school practice that you don't want to repeat today!No need for a spare tire with this car. But its location is a perfect spot for the battery. As you can see, the battery wires run inside the car.A normal bench seat was used in many of these cars. You will note that the back rest on the right side has been removed for weight reduction and a chain wrapped around it to hold it in place.Looking backwards at the sturdy rollcage from the inside, the tubes can be seen running down each side of the roof. The whole thing is held in place by a loop and horizontal bar attached to the stock frame.
The driver side of the bench seat was retained. Since this car is currently used in vintage racing activities, it's equipped with modern seat belts.The car carries a chicken-wire-type screen instead of a windsheild and is supported by square tubular rod supports.A chain and bungee cord hold down the hood. It wasn't the best arrangement as current owner Mike Swain found out. "At speed, the hood tends to bounce up about a half-inch," Swain explained.The engine is a pretty-much-stock '59 292 truck engine. It carries a four-barrel Eldebrock carburetor and is capable of about 250 horsepower.Notice that the back side of the air cleaner, highjacked off of a Lincoln, was cut off to make it fit. It also let more air to enter from the back.This photo shows the extra shock with a custom shock mount. All four corners have two shocks for a stiffer ride to hold the car level in the turns.Since all the factory body mounting was removed, this horizontal bar was installed to keep the fender in place.This car sometimes ran in Figure 8 races. Driver protection against a T-bone was provided with this metal plate on the driver-side door. Good idea! To qualify for the Figure 8 feature, it was necessary to run an oval heat race.
When running on a Figure 8 course, it was necessary to turn the car both left and right. For that reason, it was necessary to introduce a negative camber on the right front wheel, which you certainly can see from this view. Both tires were originally cambered. But the owner wanted to drive it on ovals, so he straightened up the left front tire, which can be seen in the photo below.The original sheetmetal scallop which was a part of the '54 Ford design is still in place on the rear quarter. A 'Stock Car,' remember. You can also see a better view of the driver-side steel plate in this shot.All the locking mechanism was removed from the rear deck. For quick entry into the trunk, all that was required was the removal of a bungee cord.A side view shows the beefy modified Mercury bumper this vintage Ford carries. Looks like it could do some sizable bumping on the track.When something was removed from the stock factory body, it was necessary to cover the hole. It was neatly done with riveted patches as shown here.

I am confused between the two. Is one a subset of the other or they are the same/completely different notions? Say I have an euqaiton $u_t=\mathcal{L}u$ for an elliptic operator $\mathcal{L}$ with bad coefficients so that it doesn't have a strong solution, but I can find a weak solution. What is the relation to viscosity then?
The viscosity solutions was first introduced in the context of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation by the vanishing viscosity method. It would be difficult to apply the notion of distributional weak solution in this context, because the derivatives occur inside a nonlinear function. Further complications would arise because a distributional weak solution is not necessarily unique (for degenerate elliptic equations or nonlinear first order equations). Because of the nonlinearity, a Hamilton-Jacobi equations often doesn't have a classical solution, even if the Hamiltonian is an analytic function.
The viscosity solution was later generalized to degenerate elliptic equations, where the vanishing viscosity method itself no longer works. In case the equation is linear in the derivatives, both distributional weak solutions and viscosity solutions are defined, and we can investigate their relationship. My guess would be that the viscosity solutions turns out to also be a weak solutions in this context, but that there will in general be also weak solutions which are not viscosity solutions.
In the elliptic case, these two notions are equivalent. The proof (which is not trivial at all) can be found in the paper
Probably the same proof can be extended to the parabolic case (but this is only a guess on my part).

Where globalism is good
Most blue-staters view the Deep South the way a 1992 Saturday Night Live sketch described Arkansas — as "something out of Li'l Abner, with buxom underage girls in their cutoff denims prancing around in front of Jethro and Billy Bob, while corncob-pipe-smoking, shotgun-toting grannies fire indiscriminately at runaway hogs."
Funny, sure, but the stereotype's accuracy is rapidly withering. It doesn't get more Dixie than Alabama, and foreign corporations flock to the state. They're not in search of yokels to deep-fry roadkill. They seek competent, reliable workers to manufacture synthetic fibers, elevators, weapon systems, surgical devices, automobiles, oil-drilling equipment, ships, and soon, commercial jets.

text: When I say that I have some cute and fun stuff for you today, I really mean it. Now, I would have thought of this idea for a tutorial if I wasn't so loaded with work. I was asked if I could make a lesson on "how to draw a golden retriever puppy", step by step. Of course I jumped on this idea because how many folks and families that you know of have one of these dog breeds. It seems like everywhere I turn everybody has a golden retriever for a pet, and if not a retriever it's a Labrador. Anyways, I made this concept of a GR puppy a little older than the previous versions. I know I probably should have drawn a younger stage, but I kind of wanted to switch up the drawing style a bit and since there is no way that a bulldog puppy can look any other way. I'm sure I will continue to get more and more requests for me to make other puppy drawing lessons, so until then have fun with this tutorial on one of the world's most popular dog breeds, "how to draw a golden retriever puppy". I will be back in a bit so try and stay tuned in to see what else I have for you all. Peace out people and enjoy!
