I have "Hide ignored tags" turned on in my preferences. If a question comes along with an Interesting tag and an Ignored tag, what happens to it?
What is meta?

If you have the hide ignored tags turned off they will display as both interesting and ignored.
If you have the hide ignored tags turned on it will hide it no matter how many interesting tags are in there as well.
Its hidden..
What happens is Javascript hides or fades all questions with a
This is also why you will notice that when you hide ignored questions, you will have less questions on the entire page. Hiding the questions is taken over by javascript, not the server, so the server doesn't know to list more questions.
Not sure if this is the right place to feedback on this, but I find the "hide"/"ignore" feature detracts from the overall high quality of the site:
Because it's done browser-side, users see the ignored questions flashing up briefly and then the list of questions collapses in on itself, leaving huge amounts of empty space at the bottom of the page, with a variable number of remaining questions shown that doesn't agree with the number the user chose to prefer. So: A waste of some bandwidth and a hit to the aesthetics and consistency.
Not that it's a big priority, but I feel that at some point the "ignore" filtering should be moved to server side.
I would love to have an option to "Hide questions with ignored tags that do not have interesting tags". That was my initial assumption about how the ignore feature would work.

I am a LaTeX beginner and new to Scripting. I try to implement this interesting solution for latexdiff and multiple files found in this question-answer before I begin writing my phd thesis. However using...
- Win7 (64-bit)
- GitHub (Sourcetree, Git version 1.8.0msysgit.0)
- MikTex 2.9
- ActivePerl version 18.104.22.1682
- cygwin
and after researching I do not know how to execute the script and the documentation on the site linked above is "sparsely". Here is what I did so far:
- Latexdiff is installed and successfully tested
- 'latexbatchdiff.sh' is placed in
C:\Users\USER\Dropbox\Github(added to PATH)
- Repository Path:
C:\Users\USER\Dropbox\Github\Testlab\.git\config-file looks like this:
bare = false
repositoryformatversion = 0
filemode = false
logallrefupdates = true
symlinks = false
ignorecase = true
[remote "origin"]
url = https://github.com/MYGITHUBACCOUNT/Testlab.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[branch "master"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/master
cmd = latexdiff "$LOCAL" "$REMOTE"
prompt = false
ldiff = difftool -t latex
There is also an 'install.sh' which is not documented at all, so I tried...
So, how does one execute this script on windows? Do I use the Windows CMD or the Cygwin Terminal? I would be really grateful for a beginner-friendly example.

Sunrise over Hout Bay – Flickr pic of the day
This image of yachts docked at the picturesque Hout Bay harbour was captured by our Cape Town. Live it. Love it. Flickr group member Trevor Exposed.
Trevor describes the photo thus: "Morning sunrise over Hout Bay harbour. The sun is just peeking over the mountain to wake up the yachts moored in the harbour. Chapman's Peak Drive is in the background. Another perfect day in Cape Town."
Do you have images of Cape Town you'd like to share with us? We'd love you to join the Cape Town. Live it. Love it. Flickr group!

Is there something anyone knows of that you can apply to the surface of a board game to protect it against wear so that it lasts longer?

I found this on a BoardGameGeek thread:
While I haven't tried it myself, it looks like it might be worth a try. Maybe on a cheaper game first, so that if it doesn't work, you haven't screwed up you're favorite game.
I will go to the local Fred Meyer today and see if they have something like this, and if so, try it out myself.
The usual recommendation is to get a sheet of plexiglass (known as Perspex® in the UK) and lay that across the board when you're playing. It's an especially good solution for "board" games that don't actually have a board.
Well-made board-backed games don't really need any help, but many small-press games have the board printed on stiff card or even paper. Paper gaming surfaces go back at least to SPI's foundation in 1969, and so do plexiglass coverings to prevent them getting ruined.
There are products like SprayFix, which cover paper with a protective varnish. It prevents dirt from attaching to paper surfaces. This is used often with games using counters, to protect them from wearing. I think you can apply it to board surfaces perfectly.
Following the answer provided by Egg of P'an Ku, try clear contact paper.
You could always use the original plastic shrink-wrap that the game shipped in.

In Apple Numbers I want a cell to have 4x8x7 (or 4*8*7) to show the detail of the volume, and in another cell I want that volume calculated 4*8*7=224 based on the first cell. But it doesn't consider the first cell as an operation. Which formula can help ?
You could use the string concatenation operator '&' and make a formula like this:
=B2&" X "&B3&" X "&B4 which would display "4 X 8 X 7"
then have another formula that actually calculates the function:
=B2*B3*B4 which would display "224"
I was given this answer on another website:

Adrian Belew has some incredible sounds coming out of his Strat - one of them is the quasi-Elephant sound on Elephant Talk - King Crimson - "Discipline". I've watched him do it live but apart from the actual neck bending and whammy bar machinations I've still not been able to duplicate it...Help!!
You can also get a similar sound as follows:
Bend both notes up half a tone to a tone at the end; and if you have a tremolo; give it a pull or push; Adrian Belew seems to do both at different times in that track. His tone also seems very reverb heavy so stick some on there for a closer sound.
Also move the notes around for different pitches of elephants
Which i think is more accurate in the case of Elephant talk
Adrian Belew released a VHS in the 80s called Electronic Guitar. Elephant Talk is one of the songs he talks about.
He clearly explains how he achieved the Elephant-like sound. But the only thing I can remember is that he used a flanger.
I have the tape somewhere at my parents'. I'll have a look at it next time I visit them (in about two weeks actually) and I will edit this answer.
You can also find used copies at Amazon.
EDIT: My VCR is broken. Sorry but I can't help more.
Edit: [Direct reference to this Technique on YouTube]
Sounds to me as though he's doing the same thing Hendrix did on "Highway Child", which is to play a note on the B-string while simultaneously bending the note two frets higher on the G-string almost a whole step. This makes the two notes almost, but not exactly, the same pitch, which, when combined with distortion, gives that growly sound. Now whammy that up, and you've got yourself an elephant.
Also, the trick with the flanger effect is to use something that's definitely NOT subtle. In fact, you'll want to use such a heavy flange that it begins to sound like a chorus, noticeably warbling the pitch back and forth and not just the phase. MAX pitch and/or speed controls on your flange at home should get the near vibrato effect it actually creates.
(Even the vibrato function on a UniVibe or reproduction will get very close to this too).

For the DS Etrian Odyssey series, is there a way to have the game build your map for you as you progress? Currently I have to draw the features of every tile. This is tedious and boring for a game that seems otherwise fun. Is there away around this or is it really a core mechanic of the game?
There is an auto-map option in the options that you can access from the pause menu and the title screen. When it is activated, it will automatically perform the actions of "painting", which colors the tiles you walk on. As the movement of FOEs is only shown on tiles that you have physically walked on, this can be handy to activate if you feel the need. It will not draw walls and other dungeon features, though, so that falls on you to handle.
Making the player draw the map is a core mechanic and appeal of the series - it is intended to be part of the experience. Different individuals will map it out differently: I put a wall in front of a door, while my brother puts walls around the door as if it were a passage. As part of the game is to make it your own experience, there is increased creativity in leaving the map detail and style entirely up to the player instead of even suggesting how it might be mapped.
There are also some early quests that rely on you drawing the map - so automatically performing the task for you would make such tasks very easy, aye? And don't worry - they are very lenient and care primarily about walls and floor only, namely because different gamers will use the symbols differently. There are also one or two points where you'll be given parts of the map, but these can be altered to fit your own style of mapping.
Some tips to alleviate the process if it starts to get boring. For the most part, it's a matter of reducing the frequency of updating the map.
While Grace's answer is correct for the previous games in the series, the new "Etrian online untold", a reboot of the first game for 3ds, has more advanced automapping and a floor jump feature that allows you to jump to the end of a level once you have mapped most of it (and reached the stairs once). Maybe that version would be more for you.
The game was released today, Oct 1, in the north american E-shop and stores.

In lightdm, I select awesome as my window manager and log in. Are there any hooks for per-user configuration to do before the xserver starts? .xinitrc and .xsession don't seem to be run by lightdm. Even better would be a solution requiring entry point that would do key remappings regardless of window manager, but it seems different window managers have different conventions of how to hook in.

Is Lego Muktzeh? and can Adults use it too?
Sign up

"Any toy that needs to be screwed together is prohibited because of the issur of Boneh. Therefore, one may not play with a construction set on Shabbos. On the other hand, because one merely sticks together the pieces, one is permitted to play with Legos, Tinkertoys and the like on Shabbos."
Teshuvos written by HaRav Yisroel Belsky, Shlita
You seem to be asking two questions here:
(Perhaps I'm reading into your question because of the availability of my answer, but either way it will address your question.)
Hacham Ovadia Yosef, in Yechave Da'at (2:55), Addresses Lego©. (He starts off by saying that if something is Assur for adults, then its Assur for children too, yet) he seems to conclude that it's fine for children to play with Lego© on shabbat, but adults should stay away. He argues mostly that there's no melacha according to the Shulchan Aruch, but seems to be machmir for adults anyway (possibly because he is choshesh for the opinions that are machmir.) He restates this conclusion in Yabia Omer (O"C 7:39), where he says, "העלתי שמותר לתת לקטן 'אבני פלא' וכיו"ב לשחק בהם להרכיבם ולפרקם"
Regarding muktze, Hacham Ovadia in Yabia Omer (ibid.) says that Lego© is not muktze for an adult:
Harav E. Y. Waldenberg, in Tzitz Eliezer (13:30), (also quoted in Yabia Omer, among other modern poskim that Hacham Ovadia quotes,) rules that Lego© is completely mutar, even for an adult:
He backs up this pesaq din in 13:31, the following siman.
If the blocks are easily removed - even adults can play it.
But if you need to apply some force in order to connect/remove the blocks it more miskaem, so there are different opinions on that case. When I asked about it my Rav he told that even in latter case there is no problem for adults to play it. However I've heard others that forbid playing hard-stucking lego to adults.
In any case, even if just children are allowed to play it - it is not a muktze.
Great answer by Baal Shemot Tovot though extra sources brought here:
I have heard an opinion that it is permitted even for adults simply because the intended purpose of the Lego product is to put together and then take apart. Therefore, it's status would not change based on personal intentions or whether they are easy or hard for the user to take apart.

profiles: { phoneBlackberry: function() { return Ext.is.Blackberry; }, phoneAndroid: function() { return Ext.is.Android; }, phoneApple: function() { return Ext.is.iOS; }, desktop: function() { return Ext.is.Desktop; }, tabletPortrait: function() { return Ext.is.Tablet && Ext.orientation == 'portrait'; }, tabletLandscape: function() { return Ext.is.Tablet && Ext.orientation == 'landscape'; } }
I was expecting with
layout: { type: 'vbox', align: 'center', pack: 'top', autoScroll: true, },
How to handle this. Please advice.

To the editor:
What has America become? It is an absolute outrage.
We have become a helpless nation, unarmed, defenseless and without the guts to protest.
Think about the horror of what could be next. Think about the film, "Schindler's List." It is based on a true story. We could become "Schindler's America" - a nation where only the police and the military have guns, and the people are disarmed and unable to defend themselves. For those not familiar with "Schindler's List," it is a film about a German man named Oskar Schindler who became concerned about the Jewish work force during World War II upon seeing them persecuted by Hitler and the Nazis. Schindler saved the lives of more than a thousand Polish Jewish refugees during the Holocaust by employing them in his factory.
Remember, Hitler and his Nazi regime disarmed the people. The comparison between Hitler and Obama is striking.
With the systematic dismantling of our constitutional rights and the gun-grab taking place, America could be next. This is exactly what is happening - legislation by legislation, bill by bill, executive order by executive order. Washington is eviscerating citizens of their right to bear arms. It's insanity. We are being stripped bare of our liberties and rights.
When America has a president who bows to foreign potentates, apologizes for our greatness and is nationally embarrassed by our finest citizens, well then, my friend, America has a fraud for president.
No, we can wait no longer to negotiate our way out of this hatchet job; we can no longer depend upon the faithfulness of our politicians to the Constitution. Many of our politicians have turned into nothing more than political pharisees wanting to please all without a foundational belief in what made America great and they are unwilling to endorse or uphold the Constitution for which they swore an oath to preserve and protect.
Red-blooded Americans and fellow citizens, the time is coming when you must decide, a Lexington and Concorde moment when you must decide which is greater: the demands of a tyrannical government as they disarm us and eviscerate our liberties or your own personal rights.
You will have to decide what takes precedence.
That moment is almost upon us.
I am compelled to ask again: if you were to make a movie today about a nation where only the police and the military had guns would you call it, "Schindler's America?"
Do not forget Schindler who, while still owning a company, was under the boot heel of an all-powerful government. Guns were forbidden, free speech was forbidden and voting was outlawed. Now, all that we hold dear as Americans could be utterly annihilated.
Many say, "Oh, that can't happen here." Do not be a fool. As astute philosopher George Santanaya said, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
Time is critical. It is running out. That is why we need to stand up and fight with all the power we have.

Tap to show Toolbar
Awesome framework. I am loving the documentation, variety of demos and the way they all come together. I have extremely limited programming skills, but going through the examples...I am already well on my way to create a mobile web application that I have been wanting. Kudos.
On that note, I am trying to replicate a feature I commonly see in iPhone apps where when you tap anywhere on the screen, the toolbar/tab bar shows. Tap again, and they disappear.
I was wondering if this functionality is either coming or already built into the framework.
Looking through the API, I see a config: "hideOnMaskTap" and was wondering if that's related to what I am trying to accomplish.
Thanks for any direction or pointer to the right place to look.
All the best,
20 Jun 2010 10:12 AM #2
hideOnMaskTap does not what you want, hideOnMaskTap bindes a eventlistener to the mask which'll creat when you have for example a overlay over your application that close the overlay by taping on the masktrainings / workshops / consulting: Sencha Touch / Ext JS

Ah, I see. Thanks for the reply mrsunshine and for your active participation in this community.
20 Jun 2010 10:22 AM #4
and yes you can hide and show a toolbar.
do something like this
yourPanel.this.mon( this.el, { tap: function() { if (yourToolbar.isVisible()){ yourToolbar.hide(); } else { yourToolbar.show(); } } } );

Thank you for the code sample. Now I'll go try to figure out how to implement it.
Just to clarify, this is PHP code? I see you wrapped it in a PHP Code box so I am assuming that you are using PHP to show and hide the toolbar. However, it doesn't look like PHP to me. More like javascript.
Thanks much.
20 Jun 2010 10:32 AM #6
It's javascript. I changed his tags to be more clear.

Hi everyone!
I hope it's okay if i join your conversation. I also have an Ext.TabPanel and a toolbar that I would like to show/hide on a double tap event. Thanks Mr. Sunshine for the code. Is anyone able to point me towards the source code of a working example with this implemented?
Thanks for your help in advance!

May 2014 NPD: PS4 stays ahead of Xbox One as Watch Dogs, Mario Kart lead salesWritten by: / / 5 Comments
Sales tracking firm The NPD Group has released its latest sales report for the US videogame industry, this time for May 2014, revealing that overall revenue generated during the month reached $586 million, a 52% improvement compared to May 2013, across hardware, software and accessories categories, driven by the continued success of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, as well as new games like Watch Dogs and Mario Kart 8.
May 2014 Software Sales
During the month of May 2014 in the US, videogame software revenue increased by 57% in the console sector compared to the year previous, up to $274 million (or $284 million taking PC game sales into account).
The top ten list of best-selling games was headed up by Watch Dogs at No. 1, with Mario Kart 8, MLB 14: The Show, Wolfenstein: The New Order and Minecraft making up the rest of the top five.
NPD analyst Liam Callahan wrote in the report:
"Collectively, May 2014 launches sold 800 percent more in dollar sales than May 2013 launches did their respective launch months. New launches represented 50 percent of dollar sales this month, which compared to only 9 percent for new launches in May 2013."
May 2014 Software Sales Chart
– 1.) Watch Dogs (Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4, PC) – Ubisoft (1.25 million units)
– 2.) Mario Kart 8 (Wii U) – Nintendo
– 3.) MLB 14: The Show (PS3, PS4, PS Vita) – Sony Computer Entertainment
– 4.) Wolfenstein: The New Order(Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4, PC) – Bethesda Softworks
– 5.) Minecraft (Xbox 360, PS3) – Microsoft Studios
– 6.) The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (Xbox 360, PS3, PS4, Wii U, 3DS) – Activision
– 7.) NBA 2K14 (PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One) – Take 2

– 9.) Kirby: Triple Delux (3DS) – Nintendo
– 10.) Call of Duty: Ghosts (PC, PS3, PS4, Wii U, Xbox 360, Xbox One) – Activision
May 2014 Hardware Sales
Videogame hardware sales were up an impressive 95% in May 2014, climbing to revenue of $187 million as PlayStation 4 maintained its lead, becoming the best-selling console for the month in the US for the fifth time in a row.
NPD's Callahan noted that the Wii U and PS Vita both enjoyed year-over-year sales growth in May with Mario Kart 8 and the Borderlands 2 bundle helping the respective consoles.
May 2014 Hardware Sales Chart

– May 2014 Videogame Accessories Sales – $159.7 million (+21%)
Publisher Responses
Sony Computer Entertainment responded to the latest NPD report, writing:
PlayStation continues to be the best place to play for innovative IP, as PS4 was the preferred platform for May's biggest releases, including Watch Dogs and Wolfenstein: The New Order, and held four of the top five spots for next gen software sales. PS4 is the leading next-gen platform for sports, highlighted in May by the best-selling sports game, MLB 14: The Show.
Microsoft hasn't yet responded to the latest NPD report making it the first time the company hasn't acknowledged the numbers in years, breaking its own tradition of getting out ahead of NPD's report with facts and figures of its own.
Notably, on May 13th Microsoft announced its decision to provide an Xbox One bundle without Kinect starting on June 9th, which will definitely affect sales of the console for the month as consumers decided to wait until the lower priced bundle became available. June's NPD report will be much more reflective of Xbox One sales in the US.
What do you make of the latest sales results in the US?

Interest expressed in stadium bleachers
January 6, 2013
NEWELL — Bleachers from Newell Memorial Field may soon find a new home in nearby Jefferson Count....
Continued...To the commission and BOE: You people are and forever will remain greedy no good for nothing low lifes. May the people of this great area always remember how selfish you ingrates are, and may the atrocities you caused remain in the memory of this county's historical fabric forevermore.

They are checking scrap opportunities to ensure their pockets are lined, and they are not "screwed over".
I think another important lesson is to be learned from this: There is a reason that Buckeye Local Schools came forward with interest in purchasing the Newell stadium's bleachers; because there is nothing wrong with them to begin with. The stadium is in great shape, not deplorable, and our county commission wants to bulldoze it to make a buck ~ acting like the site was in need of "improvement" to begin with. Funny that they show no concern what so ever for the few buildings in Newell that are desolate, and in a condition in which they should be demolished. Too much obscurity behind this issue! As they say, "Strong history stands forever, until an idiot knocks it down."
Unfortunately, it seems that the county has given in to this corruption of government. When you lose your voice, you do lose yourself.

I have a friend on FB who sends out FB mail for way too much stuff. Without removing her as a friend, is there any way to control the mail I get from this person? Unfortunately they are NOT using event invites.
Do you want to stop receiving messages from this person altogether? You could put them on a list and block that list from sending messages.
I'm pretty sure that you can do this, but I don't have a facebook anymore so I can't check.
I would setup a rule in my email program to handle this.
You are going to want to sign up for the new Facebook Messages or wait for it to roll out.
The new platform allows for filtering so that only messages from friends important to you take priority. Everything else is sent to a folder called "other" (or you can manually move it across using the Actions menu which has a "Move to Other" option).
You can even remove yourself from large party/group conversations.

Afghanistan Moves To Curb U.S. Forces
Special Units Told to Cease Operations in Restive Province, Raising Uncertainty Ahead of Security Transition Next Year
KABUL—The Afghan government ordered U.S. Special Operations Forces to immediately cease operations in Wardak—one of Afghanistan's most dangerous provinces—and pull out in two weeks, in President Hamid Karzai's latest showdown with the international military coalition.
The demand comes after complaints by Wardak residents that U.S. Special Operations Forces and Afghans working with the elite units have unlawfully detained, tortured and killed innocent civilians, the government said on Sunday. Afghan officials also say U.S. Special Operations Forces are propping up local armed groups, which are harassing the population.
The move will complicate the transition process by worsening U.S.-Afghan tensions and increasing operational uncertainty as international forces hand over security responsibilities to their Afghan counterparts.
It is also the Afghan government's latest attempt to limit the scope of international military operations before the 2014 withdrawal, coming about a week after Mr. Karzai barred Afghan forces from calling in coalition airstrikes in residential areas.
"U.S. Special Forces stationed in Wardak province engage in harassing, annoying, torturing and even murdering innocent people," read a statement from the president's press office.
"The Ministry of Defense was assigned to make sure all U.S. Special Forces are out of the province within two weeks" while "effective from February 24, 2013 onward the [coalition] has to stop all its Special Force operations," the statement added.
James Graybeal, a spokesman for the U.S.-led forces, said in a statement that the coalition was following up on the reports of misconduct with the Afghan government.
"Until we're able to talk to senior government officials, we can't comment further," said Mr. Graybeal. "Obviously, we take all allegations of misconduct seriously and go to great lengths to determine the facts surrounding them."
The latest backlash was partly sparked after a university student was detained in a night raid on his home nearly two weeks ago and his decapitated body was later found under a bridge in Ibrahimkhil village in Wardak's Nerkh district. Residents said U.S. Special Operations Forces and Afghans working with them had killed the student, named Nasratullah.
"The student's head and his fingers were cut off and his body was found underneath a bridge. This insecurity and abuse has been going on for six months and is forcing people to join the insurgency," said Asadullah Wahidi, a resident of Sayed Abad district in Wardak province.
The Afghan government on Sunday said "armed individuals named as U.S. Special Forces" have harassed Wardak's residents and killed the university student.
It said these groups had also detained nine other residents of Wardak, whose whereabouts remain unknown.
Afghan authorities said U.S. forces had denied conducting these operations, although Mr. Graybeal, the coalition spokesman, said he couldn't respond to the specific allegations.
At a news conference Sunday, Mr. Karzai's spokesman, Aimal Faizi, accused U.S. Special Operations Forces of funding and supporting "armed groups" across the country.
The U.S. has been accused of establishing irregular forces in the past, without Kabul's consent. Mr. Karzai forced one such unit, called the Critical Infrastructure Police, to disband in late 2011 after human-rights groups accused of it abuses, which it denied.
Mr. Karzai was a fierce opponent of plans to establish the Afghan Local Police—irregular, community-based fighting units that are trained and mentored by U.S. Special Operations Forces.
The force has grown to 19,000 members and often fights in some of Afghanistan's most remote and dangerous villages.
The president and many of the program's critics have complained that the ALP could become an unruly militia working outside government control.
U.S. plans to expand the ALP program to 45,000 fighters from its present cap of 30,000 were approved this year.
But Mr. Karzai's move Sunday to ban U.S. Special Operations Forces from working in Wardak—where they likely mentor the ALP—is a blow to the program.
"Karzai's been clear from the start that he's never been a fan of the ALP program," said Douglas Ollivant, a counterinsurgency expert and a senior fellow at the New American Foundation, a nonpartisan think tank. "But we're also now in the post-withdrawal phase, in terms of the politics and how the different partners are acting. This is has a lot to do with how does Karzai positions himself—in order to influence events after his presidency [expires in 2014]—by dealing with U.S. forces now."

Laser Cutter/Full Spectrum Laser 40W
From Noisebridge
< Laser Cutter
Revision as of 04:57, 25 February 2011 by Alan Rockefeller (Talk | contribs)
Lasercutter (name to be determined)
Full Spectrum Laser 4th Generation 40W CO2 Laser Engraver - Deluxe Model
- Product Site
- Forums
- V4 Laser Download Page
- Manual File:FSL 40w Hobby Laser Manual.pdf
- Drivers should be thrown onto Pony and the cutter machine once we get that setup.
Safety information and training
We should have a bunch of helpful information here on safe operation of the device and who to go to to be trained on its use here.
- Please speak to one of the people who is experienced with this laser cutter before using itt so we can show you where everything is, how to setup the software, how to use it without breaking it, basic safety tips, etc.
- Read the instructions first. Manual
- Never turn the current up above 15 milliamps, that will fry the laser tube quickly. Usually just a few milliamps is more than enough power to do what you want. Using too much power on wood or paper will start a fire. Instead of turning up the power, turn down the speed and/or use multiple passes. Always use the minimum power you can do to the job to prevent unsightly burn marks and extend the life of the laser tube.
- Never operate the laser cutter unattended because sometimes things catch fire. A squirt bottle with water is kept next to the laser to put out small fires. A fire extinguisher is in the corner of the room for larger issues.
- If little flames shoot up off of your material, turn down the power. Little flames can start fires and will fog up the lens, which is difficult to clean.
- It is easy to make the laser head bang against the side or top of the unit. This causes an awful noise and must be very bad for the gears. If the laser cutter makes a banging noise, stop it immediately and reposition the laser head before the next cut, or resize the artwork.
- Do not cut plastics which create hazardous fumes when burned. Acrylic is ok. PVC and vinyl releases the very toxic gas phosgene when heated. As a general rule, chemical resistant plastics should not be put in the laser cutter.
- Be very careful with the silver honeycomb, especially when removing it from the machine to clean little bits of debris off of it. It bends very easily and once bent can not be straightened out completely. It is mostly a cosmetic issue, but pressing your thumb in the wrong place will cause permanent marks.
Any program can print to the laser cutter, I had success using Inkscape and Gimp. As far as I know Gimp can not do vector cuts, a major limitation. Inkscape is not the easiest software to learn but it is not difficult either.

Supported formats/modes
How to install
How to use
Amir Hassan and Marius Kintel are working on open source laser cutter drivers through the CUPS interface. Primarily they're working on getting it operational with an Epilog cutter, but would like to expand past that soon.
- It is easy to make the laser head bang against the side or top of the unit. Don't let it do that.
- If you are doing a raster engrave, you can not set the speed too high. Here is some artwork on paper, raster engrave, 85% speed: [1]. Here is the same image at 71% speed: [2]
- Turn off the machine when not in use. The air pump gets hot if left on for long periods. It is not quite hot enough to cause a problem, but it will last longer if it is not always on, and turning it off will keep dust from accumulating inside the laser unnecessarily.
Things you can put in the laser cutter
- Paper
- Acrylic
- Wood (careful of fire)
- Cotton
- Leather
- Glass
- Anodized/coated metal
Things you should not put in the laser cutter
- Anything containing chlorine
- Lexan
- Vinyl
- Bare metal

Defensive stoppers to meet in West Region
Most kids who have big dreams picture themselves hitting the winning shot in the big game, doing an imaginary countdown before hoisting toward the backyard basket.
Ohio State guard Aaron Craft's countdown had an alternative slant.
"I think we know I'm a defensive guy," Craft said after his last-second shot against Iowa State sent the Buckeyes to the West Region semifinals. "So I think I'm in the backyard (saying) three, two, one, taking a charge, something like that."
College basketball has few true defensive stoppers, players who can alter a game without scoring a point.
The opening West Region semifinal at Staples Center on Thursday night will have two: Craft and Arizona's Nick Johnson.
Athletic, active guards, Craft and Johnson have been disruptive forces all season, tasked with slowing the opposing team's best perimeter players, doing just that more often than not.
They are the main cogs to their teams' defensive success and thrive on it.
"I take that personally, knowing that I'm the main defensive guy and my energy really affects the team," Johnson said. "I'm taking it personally upon myself to do it every single game and show my team I'm playing really, really hard. It's contagious."
The nephew of late Boston Celtics guard Dennis Johnson -- another player noted for his defensive prowess -- Johnson arrived in Tucson as a rare high school prospect who enjoyed playing defense.
He's lived up to that reputation in two years at Arizona, becoming the defensive engine for the Wildcats this season as a sophomore.
A freakishly athletic 6-foot-3, Johnson has exceptional lateral quickness and springy legs that allow him to soar in for blocks when opposing players least expect it. San Diego State's Chase Tapley found that out in the championship game of the Diamondhead Classic, when Johnson swatted away what appeared to be an uncontested layup at the buzzer to secure the Wildcats' title on Christmas night.
After a midseason funk, Johnson has come alive again at the end of the season, starting with a strong performance against Arizona State point guard Jahii Carson in the regular-season finale.
Johnson then hounded Colorado's Spencer Dinwiddie in the quarterfinals of the Pac-12 tournament, limiting the Buffaloes' leading scorer to 4 of 12 shooting, and had an emphatic block on a 3-point attempt by Askia Booker in the closing seconds.
Though the Wildcats lost to UCLA in the Pac-12 semifinals, Johnson took Bruins point guard Larry Drew II almost entirely out of the game, helping to force him to miss all five of his shots in a scoreless night.
In the NCAA tournament, Johnson had the primary assignment on Belmont's Ian Clark in Arizona's opening game and helped hold the nation's best 3-point shooter (46 percent) to 3-of-8 shooting from the arc and made him work hard for his 21 points.
Against Harvard, Johnson held the Crimson's leading scorer to eight points on 1-of-11 shooting in Arizona's runaway into the Sweet 16.
"With Nick Johnson, he has become our team's best perimeter defender," Arizona coach Sean Miller said. "He has all the athletic talent. He has the mindset to be great. I believe one day he will be an elite defender."
Craft may already be there.
The Big Ten defensive player of the year last season, he was the catalyst to the Buckeyes' run to the Final Four in New Orleans.
Even though he was edged by Indiana's Victor Oladipo as the conference's defensive player of the year this season, Craft may have been even better on the defensive end than he was a year ago.
"I think Victor Oladipo is a tremendous, outstanding, awesome defender, one of the best I've ever seen," Ohio State coach Thad Matta said. "But Aaron Craft is in another whole, other world when it comes to defense. This basketball team would not be anywhere near where it is without the impact he makes on the defensive end."
While Johnson does some of his best work in the air, Craft is a more low-flying craft.
With roadrunner-quick feet and a crouch like a big cat ready to pounce, Craft is nearly impossible to get around off the dribble. He has quick hands and great anticipation to go with it, snatching the ball from ballhandlers while they're dribbling or jumping off his man into passing lanes for steals.
Craft became Ohio State's career steals leader (245) this season while averaging 2.1 per game, and forced nearly as many 5-second calls against the man he was guarding.
And, like Johnson, Craft has a well-rounded game, able to hit big shots -- that 3 against Iowa State a prime example -- and understand the game better than most players.
"He's a 4.0 student, an incredible leader and as good of a competitor as you'll find," Miller said. "He puts a lot of emphasis and plays hard on defense, but he's also talented there. There are a lot of guys who play hard, but they're limited. He has exceptional quickness and quick hands and he is strong. His anticipates really well."
He and Johnson have certainly added to the anticipation for Thursday night's game.

More info is needed. Next time please add the price in the title, description, and add if it's shipped free.
The price is $62.99. Shipping is free for this brewing system, except AK, HI and International orders.
I have the non-commercial version of this unit (model B30) that they sold before releasing the Keurig Mini. I think $62.99 is not a bad price.
The downside:
This unit will only make an 8 ounce cup, there is not enough room in the reservoir and between the drip tray and the k cup funnel for any larger sized mugs or glasses for the brew over ice k cups. When I want to fill up a travel mug, I have to brew into a regular coffee mug and then pour it into my travel mug. It may be different with the commercial version, but the mug sensor will not detect clear glass, so your mugs / tea cups will need to be opaque.
The upside:
If you usually only drink a cup of coffee a day or if you live by yourself in a place with limited counter space, this is a great unit. The unit heats up the water quickly and the coffee or tea is always the right temperature.
I think this is a good cheap unit for anyone who is not sure they want a bigger unit or wants a Keurig for a dorm room or vacation home.
This was $55 shipped at Office Depot earlier today. If you have a 10% off coupon for Overstock (got mine from USPS in their mover's package... it's free) it brings the price pretty close, though. If you have an OD nearby, you might want to swing in and check first.

ISM non-manufacturing data is down from May but up for 19th straight month
The ISM's index for measuring the sector's overall health—known as the NMI—was 53.3 in June, 1.3 percentage points lower than May's 54.6. A reading above 50 represents growth. Even with the sequential decline in the NMI the report showed growth in the non-manufacturing sector for the 19th consecutive month.
The NMI's total reading is largely based on four core metrics. In June, two of the four were ahead of May's levels, with Business Activity/Production down 0.2 percent at 53.4, New Orders down 3.2 percent at 53.6, and Employment up 0.1 percent to 54.1.
"We are still experiencing growth but at a slightly slower rate," said Tony Nieves, chair of the ISM's Non-Manufacturing Business Survey Committee, in an interview. "It is interesting that we are seeing a little bit of a dip in New Orders. And even though the indices are seasonally-adjusted we have historically seen the non-manufacturing sector always slow a bit as we get into the summer months, with vacations occurring and overall activity waning a bit. This is the common trend that we see every year."
Nieves also noted that Supplier Deliveries—down 2.0 percent at 52.0—are declining at a slower rate and Inventories—down 1.5 percent at 53.5—are also trending down. Prices were down 8.7 percent to 60.9, which is more normal, he explained.
Some ISM survey respondents said that pricing is coming down and stabilizing and Nieves said it also has to do with product availability and not having as short of supply as there was in the past, especially as it relates to things like textiles and some other commodities. Fuel and energy also serve as big drivers on the pricing side, too.
"Compared to last month, things are slightly down but still growing, and things still seem to be on a path of slow and sustainable growth," said Nieves. "Next month's report will be pivotal in that it will give us an indication of where the rest of the summer months are. We typically see a slight uptick in the fall but looking at this economy and this sector, I think we will likely go sideways or grow slowly and won't see any real traction or strong uptick until 2012."
The key to meaningful growth or recovery, said Nieves, is growth in employment numbers. But more capital investment is needed, too, he said. The ISM's Semiannual Forecast exemplified this, with 2011 non-manufacturing capital investment expected to increase by only 1.4 percent. This is due in part to consumer confidence not needing where it needs to be and subsequently slowing down employment growth.

Cookbooks I have saved throughout the years of the Herald-Star Cookbook Contest show that the event started in 1970, when Marge Bedortha, who had been the Herald-Star society editor since the mid-1950s, came back to work to steer that contest to completion.
At that same time, Ruth Plunkett, Weirton Daily Times society editor, was starting her own cookbook contest. It is to Ruth that this food column is dedicated.
She is now retired and has moved from her family home to a more convenient high rise apartment - convenient for her in size and convenient for her daughter, Kathy Schrader, as she can reach the apartment within two minutes.
Ruth remembers that the first contests were held at the electric company on Weirton Heights, where they had a kitchen that could be utilized. She had 10 categories for her contests, and judges picked eight dishes for finalists to prepare. There were cash prizes awarded, along with a grand prize, but Ruth is uncertain of the amounts after 42 years.
Locations shifted over the years and the last was the year the Herald-Star and Daily Times combined their contests. It was held at a vacant store location at the Fort Steuben Mall. Gail Wright, Herald-Star society editor, worked with her on this, and I came along as a helper.
I can recall that Ruth had crystal glasses for the judges to sip wine between courses to clean the palate. I'm sorry, but I never carried on that tradition. It sounds like a good idea though.
On Oct. 3, 2009, Ruth suffered a massive stroke, but if there is anyone who has great determination and spirit, it is the former society editor. And she has made great progress, despite small strokes that continued to occur. She says, however, "God has been good to me. I have most of my faculties back."
Ruth would love to hear from her Weirton friends. In the event that you want to send her a card, address it to 1180 Reissing Road, McDonald, PA 15057. She wanted to attend the taste-off held Nov. 8 at St. Florian Hall but was unable to do so. Four of her recipes have been typed and sent to me through the courtesy of her daughter, Kathy, and granddaughter, Michelle, and are appearing today.
And I would like to show off some of the judges doing their job at the 2012 contest that turned out very well. The cookbook comes out Nov. 20, and you will see that many new contestants were chosen as finalists and winners. Next year, why don't you give it a try?
The first recipe that Ruth Plunkett mentioned to me was her chicken loaf that put her on the map as a great cook.
Ruth's Chicken Loaf
5 cups chicken, cooked off the bones with a couple slices of onion
2 cups milk
1 cup chicken fat that has been skimmed off the water the chicken has been cooked in and/or margarine
4 large or 6 medium eggs
3 to 4 large stalks celery, sliced or diced
Salt and pepper to taste
4 cups cracker crumbs, (1 tube single soda cracker stacks makes 2 cups crumbs.)
Heat fat or margarine, chicken, celery and milk that has been thickened slightly by cooking with some cornstarch. Add cracker crumbs. Pour into loaf pans. Can be frozen at this point. Bake until golden brown in 350 degree oven. Moisten with broth left from cooking chicken before baking or freezing. Remainder can be used for gravy.
Here is a side dish that came from a Weirton Times Cookbook edition. The cook is not listed, but likely Ruth adopted this as one of her recipes for the holidays in the past. Since it is just called Yams, I am going to make up a more descriptive name.
Yam and Apple Streudel
29-ounce can yams, cut into bite size pieces
1 can apple pie filling
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup margarine
1/2 to 3/4 cup brown sugar
4 tablespoons flour
3/4 cup oats
Mix together oats, flour, sugar and cinnamon. Cut in margarine until crumbly. Arrange less than half of the pie filling into a greased 2-quart casserole. Spoon 3 tablespoons topping over apples. Add yams then the rest of the topping. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes.
This was a recipe submitted to the DT cooking contest by Joanna Mastroianni. Ruth must have felt it was a keeper to have held on to it so long.
Mock Pumpkin Pie
4 eggs
Large can pumpkin
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons allspice
13-ounce size evaporated milk
1 box yellow cake mix
1 stick margarine
Pour the combination of eggs, pumpkin, sugars, cinnamon, allspice and evaporated milk into a greased 13-by-9-inch pan. Mix cake mix with a stick of margarine like pie dough. Sprinkle on pie mix. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until knife comes out clean. Cool and serve with whipped topping or whipped cream.
This is canned candy fondant for Easter eggs but could be used to make smaller pieces of cream candy that have been dipped in chocolate. You could even add different flavorings and add nuts, chopped cherries or other fruit and give them for Christmas gifts.
Candy Fondant
2 cups sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup white corn syrup, she uses Karo
3/4 cup water
1 egg white
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Using a 3-quart pan with a lid, boil syrup until it makes a firm ball when dropped into cold water. Remove from heat and put lid on the pan. Let stand until it cools. In a deep bowl, add an egg white and 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar. Beat until stiff. Beat egg white on high while pouring a very thin stream of syrup into the beaten egg white. Beat until it cools and forms a peak. Use plastic gloves to form small balls, or in the event of Easter, form Easter eggs. Finish cooling after forming on wax paper. When cool, coat with melted cooking chocolate, milk or dark chocolate variety.

Because I had originally been so concerned with Cayce's earth change predictions, I was surprised
when I eventually counted them for myself. Less than twenty of the readings even discuss physical
earth changes! Some of these readings suggest that the entire planet can expect major earthquakes
and inundations before the turn of the century. A few, given concerning the period 1932-1936 are
especially fatalistic. Oftentimes, they are the very readings that have been quoted out of context or
have proven to be inaccurate. Just one example is the frequently quoted reading which states, "The
earth will be broken up in many places. The early portion will see a change in the physical aspect of the
west coast of America..." (3976-15) This reading was even quoted in A.R.E.'s long-running
"Introductory Film" (1975-1993). But the question to which Cayce was actually responding dealt with
the changes to be expected in 1934!
The readings also pinpointed 1936 as a year of major change. However, the readings suggested that
the change would entail "the breaking up of many POWERS" in terms of "world affairs." The irony of
this date is that 1936 did mark the outbreak of civil war in Spain, Chiang Kai-shek's declaration of war
on Japan, and Hitler's reoccupation of the Rhineland – an event which many pinpoint as the impetus
for the eventual outbreak of World War II. Rather than earthquakes, the changes expressed
themselves in the affairs of humankind through the outbreak of war.
For the most part, Cayce's perspective of future events is positive. A number of readings suggest that
the changes will be gradual not cataclysmic, resulting in the dawning of a "New Age" of hope and
community for all of humankind. The readings also saw the period between 1958-1998 as one of great
global transformation – changes that would enable us to move from the vibrational consciousness of
the Piscean Age into that of the Aquarian.
However, to be true to some individuals' interpretations of the Cayce material, I must add there are a
number of readings which suggest that the earth would receive major physical changes before 1998,
with a shifting of the poles between 1998-2001. Undoubtedly, changes of this magnitude would have
had catastrophic effects upon all of humankind, most likely destroying civilization as we know it. These
external events would so alter the lives of any survivors that the only way remaining for them to turn
would be to place all of their faith in God. Since several readings are fairly insistent that the changes
will occur and they haven't, should we expect the worst for some time in our history or should we
assume that Cayce was wrong?

I have several long running benchmarks (SPEC CPU 2006 benchmarks) to run on a Linux server.
The server is running Gentoo Linux with a Linux Kernel 3.6.11.
I saw some big differences between different runs and I'm thinking that it could be some problem with my configuration.
I'm the only user of the server.
I have already done several configuration changes:
- I have disabled the CPU frequency scaling feature of the kernel.
- I have removed all cron jobs
- I made sure that there were no frequency scaling in the BIOS
Is there some others things I should configure/disable/enable in the kernel or on the installation ?
I do not need to make the server faster, but I want to make sure that the benchmarks are not encountering pertubations
