I found this thread on wordreference.com in which it is claimed that "mimic" has frivolous connotations and "copy" has derogatory connotations. Specifically I am wondering how this distinction may relate to interpretations of Wittgenstein. If one can mimic another's gesture or expression, can one also copy it, and vice-versa?

To me, copying involves a mechanistic approach, such as constructing the copied outcome from the source's details by following a systematic process. Mimicking, however, entails a convergent approach, where the mimicked outcome emerges from the usage of a more experimental or trial-and-error method.
This is compatible with others' claim that you cannot copy somebody else's voice, you can only mimic it; that is, you try to imitate and perfect the result it until you get the desired outcome. But you can copy somebody elses's notes; that is, you get access to the source and mechanically reproduce it piece by piece.
As an aside, mimicry is the technique used by animals (or plants) to "copy" each other's appearance or behaviour.
The difference lies primarily in their usage in real life.
You can mimic somebody's voice;you can't copy it.
You can copy somebody's notes.
A related term to consider in context would be 'imitate'.
The OED has that mimic means to imitate or copy (a person, action, etc.) esp. for the purposes of ridicule or satire, or to entertain. Thus, I would say that mimic has a different connotation than copy, but has no formal difference in meaning when referring to persons, actions, etc.
Of course, as the OED points out, one wouldn't mimic a thing, one would copy a thing, i.e., the difference in meaning and usage rests in the thing being copied or mimicked. One could both copy and mimic a person's speech, but one could only copy a person's notes (as abhiii5459 correctly pointed out).

NEW YORK (CNS) -- The following are capsule reviews of movies recently reviewed by Catholic News Service: The Maze Runner" (Fox;, "No Good Deed" (Screen Gems); "This is Where I Leave You"(Warner Bros.); "The Trip to Italy"(IFC); "Tusk"(A24); "A Walk Among the Tombstones" (Universal).
You may have seen movie trailers for When the Game Stands Tall, which opens in 2,500 theaters across the country Aug. 22. The new TriStar Pictures release is a true story about a high school football program that achieved phenomenal success with 12 perfect seasons and a string of 151 consecutive victories. The winning streak remains unequaled by any team in American sports history and landed the Spartans of De La Salle Catholic High School in Concord, California, and head coach Bob Ladouceur in the record books. None of that, however, is what this movie is really about. This is an inspirational film about a coach who draws up a game plan that involves boldly facing fears and remaining humble in the process. The scoreboard is secondary.
A film promoter recently invited me to watch an advance screening of the new science-fiction film, The Giver, and said the movie had a strong pro-life message. I admit I was a bit skeptical at first, wondering how any sci-fi film coming out of Hollywood could contain a pro-life message. But I was curious enough to check it out. The movie is based on the book of the same name, by Lois Lowry, which won the 1994 Newbery Medal, awarded by the American Library Association for "the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children." It has sold more than 10 million copies.

Behind the ONE
The ONE that started it all.
Excerpt from Eastman Innovation Lab:
How do you re-design something that has been around since the beginning of time? Better yet, why?
"We're redesigning water by re-inventing the very way people carry and consume it," says Eric Barnes, founder of KOR and creator of the KOR ONE Hydration Vessel. "We considered calling it a reusable water bottle but that doesn't come close to describing what we're attempting. For us, the vessel is the experience."
Made from Eastman Tritan™ copolyester, the sleek, crystal-like vessel was developed around KOR's three brand pillars: design, health and sustainability. "It's clearly a high-design product," Barnes explains. "But health and sustainability are equally important to our brand."
The health and sustainability pillars revolve around the benefits of hydration and a reusable product made from a tough, durable material manufactured without bisphenol-A (BPA). "We can affect the biggest change by inspiring people to drink water from a reusable container and help mitigate the footprint of single-use bottles," Barnes says.
Wherever the KOR ONE vessel goes, it's almost certain to attract attention.

text: I really am excited to be uploading this next tutorial for you all because it is so darn cute. I really didn't anticipate for this drawing to turn out so awesome. I present to you know a lesson that is going to show you "how to draw a zebra for kids", step by step. Since a lot of people will be visiting the zoo over the next few months, I thought it would be fun to show folks how easy they can recreate a zebra in a few simple steps. The shape of the body, and the way this zebra is looking at you, makes it almost irresistible to deny the chance to tackle this tutorial. One of the categories I really enjoy drawing for is the 'For Kids' section. Not only is it fun, the animals, characters, and figures always end up looking colorful, bright, and really fun. I hope you get a kick out of drawing a zebra for kids. If you want to see another animal added to this section, just let me know and I will fill your request as soon as possible. Adios people and have fun!

(Gary Hershorn/Reuters)The NFL playoff picture will not be settled fully until Sunday night's Cowboys-Redskins game, but there was plenty to keep track of earlier in the day. The full breakdown of Week 17 playoff scenarios can be found here, but we'll also keep you apprised of all the important results ...AFC seeds: 1. Broncos (13-3), 2. Patriots (12-4), 3. Texans (12-4), 4. Ravens (10-6), 5. Colts (11-5), 6. Bengals (10-6)NFC seeds: 1. Falcons (13-3), 2. 49ers (11-4-1), 3. Packers (11-5), 4. Redskins (10-6), 5. Seahawks (11-5), 6. Vikings (10-6)AFC• Denver has home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs: The red-hot Broncos got the help they needed from the Colts -- Indianapolis' win gave Denver control of its own destiny in the AFC. The Broncos then took advantage by pasting Kansas City, 38-3, to move to 13-3, one game better than Houston and New England. With that, the Broncos clinched a first-round bye and home-field advantage until the playoffs.• New England also secured a first-round bye: New England beat Miami, 28-0, to finish the regular season 13-3. Because of an earlier win over the Texans, that means that the Patriots are the AFC's No. 2 seed and will enjoy a first-round bye in the playoffs.• Houston will host Cincinnati next week: The struggling Texans lost in Indianapolis, opening the door for Denver and New England to waltz into first-round byes. Because of their late stumble, the Texans now have to win an extra game to reach the Super Bowl -- and will have to hit the road in the divisional round. Houston will play Cincinnati to open the postseason, in a rematch of a 31-10 Texans win during last season's wild-card round.• Baltimore is the No. 4 seed: With a win and a Patriots loss, Baltimore would have moved up to the third spot in the AFC. By losing to the Bengals, though, the Ravens locked themselves into the No. 4 spot ... and a first-round matchup with the Colts.NFC• The 49ers have clinched the NFC West (and the No. 2 seed): San Francisco rolled Arizona on Sunday to wrap up a division title. Their celebratory day got an even bigger boost just moments after that game ended, when the Vikings kicked a field goal to beat the Packers, thus moving San Francisco into the NFC's No. 2 spot.Thanks to the move, the 49ers will enjoy a bye next week, before hosting a game in the divisional round.• The Redskins are the NFC East champions: Washington won its seventh straight game Sunday, dropping Dallas to take the division title. That NFC East triumph will let the Redskins stay home for a home playoff game, their first since 1999. As the No. 4 seed Washington will open with the Seahawks, the higher of two NFC wild-card clubs.• Seattle is the No. 5 seed: The Seahawks had a chance to climb as high as the No. 2 seed on Sunday, but San Francisco's win means that Pete Carroll's team will have to settle for a wild-card spot. Seattle will hit the road in Round 1 against NFC East champion Washington.• Minnesota's in, Chicago's out: The Bears got the win they needed early Sunday, holding off Detroit's upset attempt. However, Minnesota used a last-second field goal to win its game with Green Bay -- in the process, clinching a playoff spot and eliminating the Bears. Minnesota's reward for that win: A visit to Green Bay next week.Washington had a chance to clinch a berth prior to its Sunday night game, but Chicago's win took that possibility off the table. • The defending Super Bowl champions are out: The Giants did their part Sunday, routing the Eagles by 35. But Chicago's two-point win over Detroit eliminated New York nonetheless, meaning a new team will hoist the Vince Lombardi Trophy this season. More Audibles

An unfamiliar squawk at White Memorial
|A Northern shrike. Credit: contributed
We'd gone to the pond at White Memorial Conservation Center on Sunday morning for a specific reason. The day before, Russ Naylor of Woodbury had seen a northern shrike there near Sutton's Bridge. It was the first of these northern predators reported in Connecticut this fall, and Russ had noted that it was singing.
The songs and calls of this species are seldom heard at our latitude. Northern shrikes adhere to a very strict seasonal schedule. If they make it to Connecticut it's usually sometime from November to March, outside the time when they're normally singing. Occasionally one may linger into early April, which would be the most likely time for us to hear one.
On Sunday, our group spent time on the bridge, scanning the surrounding marsh and treelines for a shrike. This species likes a conspicuous perch, so they're often easy to locate if they're in the area. We eventually concluded the bird probably moved on, so we were about to follow the boardwalk to the other end of the pond, which also held good, open shrike habitat.
That's when we heard the squawking, scolding notes. Even though I knew the shrike had been vocal on Saturday, these sounds didn't immediately ring a bell. It had been years since I'd heard any sound out of one.
Fortunately, a birder's instincts demand that the maker of an unknown call be located. It took awhile, because the light was terrible on a foggy, drizzly morning, and this shrike was hunkered down in the middle of a small tree bordering the masrh and a nearby field. Eventually we got several telescopes trained on it, and I think all 15 in the group got pretty good looks, including a view of the wickedly hooked bill used for dispatching rodents and birds.

is it possible to connect ASP website which is on web server to connect to SQL server 2008 database which is on another database machine? In my case the database machine has windows XP SP1 installed on it, so it is just like desktop machine on the network. Both machines are on the same domain. If possible how can we setup the connection? What security settings are required on database side? what network settings are required? What code can we use on ASP file? Is there any test that we can perform with the simple connection string code?
I had used this code
Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Data Source=myDbServer;Initial Catalog=myDatabase;Uid=myUsername; Pwd=myPassword; I got this code from the .udl file where test connection works but it does not work when I put it on dataconn.inc file. Why? I have tried various connection strings but it does not work. I am confuse.
How can I debug the datconn.inc file? it is just the text file. Can I use any other asp file rather than using dataconn.inc? I am conecting to database to check my login credentials and then log into this website and I am getting http 500 error.

6 Nobodies Who Turned Into Superheroes without Warning
#3. The Dancer Who Rescued Cruise Ship Passengers (the Hard Way)
The Nobody:
James Thomas was a British dancer on the Italian cruise ship Costa Concordia.
You know, the boat that pulled half a Poseidon Adventure.
The Clutch:
The Costa Concordia ran aground when the captain drove too close to land and hit a reef because he wasn't wearing his glasses and "had difficulty maneuvering large ships," two things we assumed would have been addressed at some point during the interview process.
The Telegraph
"I just clicked the 'APPLY TO ALL' button on Monster.com."
After drifting aimlessly for about an hour and then finally running aground, the captain began supervising the evacuation process by getting the hell out of there faster than anybody else, leaving around 4,200 passengers to fend for themselves. A panic quickly ensued.
Passengers scrambled to find an escape route from the overturned ship, some simply leaping into the water to try to swim to land. A group of several others quickly became lost inside the ship, turning up one level above the life rafts that would take them to safety. The gap was too far down for any of them to reach without injury, so the passengers waited and hoped for somebody big or some kind of ropey ladder to get them to the bottom. Little did they know, they were about to get both -- James Thomas stepped onto the deck, all 6-feet-3-inches of his lanky British frame striding through them like Daniel Stern through a sea of Joe Pescis.
If you look closely, you can see that the photo of him is holding the photo of him holding the photo.
He'd only been performing as a dancer on the Costa Concordia for six months, which effectively made him more qualified than anyone else on board to lead the evacuation. Seeing the predicament the other passengers were facing, Thomas stretched one arm down to the life rafts while holding onto the rail of the deck above, allowing dozens of people to climb onto his shoulders and then down his body to the rafts.
That's right -- he turned himself into a human ladder, something that we're assuming isn't taught in any of the safety pamphlets they hand out when you get on the boat. And the next time you consider picking a fight with a dancer, keep this in mind: Thomas supported all of the weight of the climbing passengers with one freaking hand.

#2. The Economist Who Came Up With a Cure for a Disease That Baffled Scientists
The Nobody:
Augusto Odone was an economist working for the World Bank with little to no medical training. His heroics would result in having a movie made about him and his family containing large doses of Nick Nolte.
At least his crazy genes are slightly offset by Susan Sarandon.
The Clutch:
In 1984, Augusto and Michaela Odone's 6-year-old son, Lorenzo, tested positive for adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), a genetic disorder that attacks the brain. It strips vision, hearing, motor function and the ability to breathe or think. At the time of Lorenzo's diagnosis, there was nothing approaching a cure or even any type of available treatment. Augusto and his wife were essentially told that their son was going to die in less than two years and there was simply nothing to be done about it.
This is one of those rare situations where the real people were much more photogenic than their movie counterparts.
Augusto, with no background in the subject, read up on everything about ALD, spending entire nights in libraries, hoping to find something that the professionals devoted to researching the disease had somehow missed. All the while, his son continued to deteriorate.
But impossibly, Augusto made a discovery: The damage ALD caused in his son came from a buildup of long chain fatty acids in the blood. Years of no medical experience whatsoever told him that if he could somehow stop this from happening, it might help Lorenzo. He swiftly organized a medical conference (with doctors this time) to discuss his research, and came away with the exact thing he'd been looking for: an oil capable of destroying long chain fatty acids.
It had to be an oil, because Lorenzo's Suppository would've sold the wrong kind of tickets.
The treatment, a combination of rapeseed and olive oils, was given to Lorenzo, and remarkably, the heinous progress of the disease seemed to stop. It wasn't a cure, and it didn't repair the extensive damage already done to Lorenzo, but he was alive, and the disease spread no further.
But while there was nothing to be done about the damage little Lorenzo had already sustained, that wasn't true for future victims of the disease; studies indicate that it works to prevent the onset of ALD once it's been diagnosed but before symptoms have developed. A study completed in 2005 showed that the oil was successful in preventing the development of ALD in 83 out of 120 trial cases where it was diagnosed, which is a hell of a thing for some oil made by a desperate father with absolutely no medical background.
As for Lorenzo himself, he lived 20 years beyond doctors' expectations, finally succumbing to pneumonia, proving once again that doctors probably don't know anything. To lessen their shame, an honorary doctorate was given to Augusto so that the medical community could credit any other discoveries he made to a real doctor and not some random dude.
#1. The Airline Passenger Who Made Sure Everyone But Him Got Rescued
The Nobody:
Arland D. Williams was a 46-year-old federal bank examiner with a lifelong fear of water.
The Clutch:
Air Florida Flight 90, which we've written about before, crashed into the Potomac River after colliding with the 14th Street Bridge in the middle of a snowstorm on January 13, 1982.
Six people, all with fractures to their limbs, managed to swim out of the sinking plane and gather by the tail, where they were pretty much stuck. Heavy ice, which prevented rescue boats from getting involved, was keeping them pinned to the plane, and they were quickly growing too weak to continue holding on to it. A bystander even tried to jump in and swim the 40 or so yards to the survivors, but he wound up passing out like a jackass and having to be rescued himself.
Washington Post
"Leave heroism to the untrained amateurs, you untrained amateur!"
Time was just about up when a rescue helicopter, piloted in near zero visibility, turned up to drop rescue lines down. They pulled out one man and dropped the line to the next, a balding, ordinary guy with "an extravagant mustache," who decided to put the rescue ring into another survivor's hands rather than take it himself, harnessing what is commonly referred to as "mustache power."
Washington Post
Mustache power beats plane pretzel nine times out of 10.
The helicopter plucked out this second person and dropped the line back down to the mustachioed man. Amazingly, he passed it along again, and then again after that, handing it to the last survivor he could reach (the fifth survivor was saved by Lenny Skutnik, as mentioned in our previous article). When the helicopter returned for a last run, the man was gone -- the plane's tail had shifted and sank, dragging him down with it.
It was only in the aftermath that authorities retrieved his body from the river and identified him as Arland D. Williams Jr. So here's to you, buddy. The rest of us can only hope that in that situation, we'd do the same. And then we can pray that we never have the chance to find out we're wrong.

The U.S. Postal Service is shredding Imagination Library books labeled as undeliverable.
Reports indicate the action comes as the two entities couldn't come to an agreement that would allow volunteers to pick up the books for free and deliver them.
Teresa Carl is president of the Governor's Books from Birth Foundation, a partner with the Imagination Library. Carl says the cost proposed by the Postal Service of between $2 and $5 per book was too much.
USPS officials said the agency could no longer offer the service for free when other organizations paid for it.
Created by country singer Dolly Parton in 1996, the Imagination Library provides a book every month to children from birth to age 5 at no cost to the family, regardless of income.

Are languages such as Cold Fusion and PHP less secure because they are embedded in HTML which is sent to a client? Someone told me they are less secure because they lack abstraction.
CLARIFICATION: I think by abstraction what my friend meant was that the HTML sent is right in the PHP/Cold Fusion file, so it's not like the HTML is abstracted from the script in that sense. By the way, the comment was more directed towards Cold Fusion than PHP (but I guess it's the same since PHP can be imbedded within the HTML that is sent).

It seems you can get fuel for stoves in either gas form (butane, propane, etc.) liquid (methylated spirit) or solid fuel tablets.
What are the particular advantages and disadvantages with each format, and when might you use one over the other?
Note on boiling and stove weights, obviously there are dozens of stoves out there for every fuel. I'm just estimating based on commonly used stoves.
Petroleum, Gas, White Gas, other liquid petrol products
Alcohol (liquid)
Butane, Propane, Isobutane (pressurized gas)
Note: Sometimes it will work below freezing, sometimes it won't. It's a function of how it's handled. Also has issues at altitude. That's because these work by the liquid inside boiling and releasing gas out the top of the canister which doesn't work as well at lower pressure or temperature. Some designs address this by inverting the canister.
Hexamine (solid fuel)

We have made a few coffee beers. Once we used a cheap coffee by brewing a strong pot and adding to the boil. It turned out very acidic. The next beer we brewer we went with a little higher OG 1.070 and added 1/2 pound of Starbucks breakfast blend for the last 5 minutes of steeping the grains. That beer turned out great, but we could not taste the coffee as much as we would like. I'm interested in doing another one and I've been considering Kona coffee as it is bold but mild or chicory b/c a friend had good results. How do you make a great bold coffee beer that you can really taste the coffee but is not too acidic?
I would make a pot of really strong coffee in a french press or whatever (or espresso if you've got a machine). Ideally, add it to the secondary, because the primary fermentation will blow off a lot of the nice aroma.
I've done this in a stout before and used about 4 tablespoons of coffee in 1 pint cafetiere.
I recently did a breakfast stout and simply put some ground coffee beans into the mash. I put 1 cup of ground dunkin donuts coffee in there. The coffee flavor is definitely there without being overwhelming.
You can also cold brew some coffee and add at secondary or at bottling.
I use 2 methods....you can "dry bean" the beer in secondary using 4-8 poz. of coarsely cracked beans. That produces great aroma and a bit of flavor. For more coffee flavor, I add strong coffee at bottling or kegging time to taste. That's much easier to control than additions to the kettle or secondary.
We did an Irish oatmeal coffee stout and added 1 pot of good strong coffee right to the primary before pitching yeast. This kind of threw off any specific gravity readings, but we knew the thing was going to be strong enough anyhow.
Grind your coffee beans sometime during your boil. The later in the boil the better. Place the grinds into a muslin bag. When your boil is complete and the wort drops under 210F, hang the muslin bag of grind into the hot wort. I usually go for around 5-10 minutes. Remove muslin bag and start your chill. You definitely do NOT want to put the coffee in during the boil as it will put in all the acids.
Grounds can get pretty bitter in a long boil. I'd suggest adding either an extract or a good coffee liquor (I recommend Leopold Bros. if you can get it - no nasty chemicals like Kahlua). This method also lets you be really specific in the amount of flavor you want to add - draw out a cup or two from the secondary and add the extract until the balance is right, then scale the ratio up to the whole batch.
I made an Imperial Stout @ 9.2% and to steal Denny Cons term "dry beaned" one gallon of it onto 15.3 grams of coarsly ground beans for 2 days. The coffee flavor was very pronounced, and after 3 weeks was still strong. Probably helped that this was such a robust stout but it was still very potent coffee. maybe half this amount of coffe or only leave on secondary for a day.
You can get now get in the UK at least these coffee-bags (similar to tea bags but bigger and with coffee in them). They arrive sealed in foil and ready to go. I've placed these in the mix during the entire fermentation process. Because they are nicely in a bag they just come out when its time to bottle. Sorted, and great coffee stoat.
I made an espresso stout, where the espresso was added at bottling. I actually dissolved the sugar into the still-hot espresso; cooled it, then mixed both in. It turned out very well, with a nice amount of aroma and flavor.
Part-way through drinking it I discovered that pouring the yeast as well as the beer brings out much more of the flavor--it seems to be somewhat locked in the yeast layer of the bottle. To do this I poured all but ~1oz of beer, and swirled the bottle until the yeast had mixed into the remaining beer and poured it into the glass.

I am working on trying to re-design the site for the agency I work for and a recommendation was made that we should move to a single page site with a vertical scroll which which walks through all the work that has been done. I am not a big fan of that since I am not sure how intutive that would. Is there research into what are pros and cons of a single page and when they should/should not be used as opposed to using a multipage site.
I don't know of much in the way of research, instead I will draw from my own experiences here.
The main difference between the two lies within the structure of information. With any site marketing its goods or services, you'll want to take the user on a journey, creating a story for them to follow. This is where the single page reaps huge rewards.
You control the flow of information here, rather than the user choosing their own path and flicking between pages (this is where important information can be missed). Although I have nothing to back this claim up, I also believe that a single page design has the psychological affect of seeming simple and free of any hassle. Which, of course, is what the consumer is ultimately looking for.
That said, and perhaps slightly off the topic of UX, a multi-page site can prove more beneficial in terms of SEO, as it will allow you to target keywords around specific topics/sections. One thing you'll struggle to do with a single page design.
Janis Lanka carried out some research using AB split testing on a shopping cart process, one design featuring multiple pages and the other containing each step on a single page. The results showed that conversions increased considerably when using the single page design, along with a few other surprising findings (such as an average increase in order value).
He Hypothesizes:
37signals did a AB-Test on their Homepage-site, where they experimented with an extreme long sales letter. It actually performed better, despite the "above the fold" mantra one hears often. As other answers said, the structure of the content was crucial - I recommend to read even the comments on their Case Study - Behind the scenes, because there is an analysis going on.
And you might be interested in the Life below 600px, which gives you some hints, how to visually guide visitors eye downwards.
Scratching Off-topic - the Fold Tester displays percentages of screen resolutions above your online page.
Likewise, an answer lacking in empirical research!
I've built lots of sites, both multi-page and single "long-scrolling" page. However, the latter have for the vast majority, been promotional microsites, with a single purpose/call-to-action or sign up and in that context they work well.
However, I'd never recommend a single-page scrolling site for a "full" company website. The division of data is important, a clear nav structure is important and can easily become obfuscated/confusing on a single page site, plus a "proper" site requires full, unique URLs for SEO/linking and relying on hashbangs is a filthy practice that deserves punishment.
I'm not sure how relevant this would be in the developed world with fast internet connections, but in the developing world a single page may take considerably longer to load (if you include a lot of high quality media) over a slow connection. If you are considering delivery to mobile platforms, it may also have an impact on delivery over slow cellphone carrier networks, or people with limited bandwidth plans.
I know it seems silly, but my gut reaction would be to at least have a choice of seeing a content-heavy page, or have that broken up over multiple pages. I'll hopefully get to see what I want, when I want, in smaller chunks (depending on my connectivity).
There have been written a lot of landing page optimizing and what I've read is that there seem to be a higher conversion rate when you keep everything on one (long) page instead of splitting up the content into several pages. There seem to be a couple of reasons for this:

Olivet College senior defender Jenna Mayle of Ionia has been named the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association Defensive Player of the Week for women's soccer.
Mayle was the anchor of the Comets' backline, which posted 1-0 shutout victories over College of Mount St. Joseph (Ohio) and Millikin (Ill.) University to open the 2013 season. Late in the game against MSJ, she caught an opposing player from behind and used a perfectly timed slide tackle to take the ball off the feet of the player, who was on a breakaway attempt. Mayle also had a couple key tackles in the win against Millikin.
"We are extremely proud of Jenna and she is deserving of this honor," said Olivet Head Coach Hans Morgan. "She was a rock for us defensively this weekend including a couple of game-changing tackles. Jenna played great this weekend, but she will be the first to tell you she did not do it alone. We received fine defensive performances and goalkeeping from many players all weekend. The defense doesn't always get the press, but I think it is terrific she is being recognized as the leader of our defense."
Mayle and the Comets return to the field Wednesday afternoon against Rochester College. The game is being played at Ultimate Soccer in Pontiac, beginning at 3 p.m.

Muslim reported that the Prophet (p.b.u.h.) said, "…Hasn't Allah made for you
Salat Al-Ishaa in congregation equal to Hajj, and the Fajr prayer in
congregation equal to Umrah?"
"Whoever walks to an obligatory prayer in congregation, it is like Hajj, and
whoever walks to a voluntary prayer, it is like a voluntary Umrah." (Sahih Al
Jami 6432)
"Whoever prays Fajr in congregation, then sits remembering Allah until the sun
rises, then prays two units of prayer, he will receive the reward of Hajj, and
Umrah - complete, complete, complete." (Sahih Al Jami 6222)
It is authentically reported that people said, "O Messenger of Allah! The rich
took the reward of Akhirah, they do Hajj and we do not; they engage in jihad,
and we do not. So the Prophet (p.b.u.h.), said, 'Shall I not guide you to
something that, if you stick to it, you will come with what is better than what
one of them will come with: that you say Allahu Akbar 34 times, and Subhan Allah
33 times, and Alhamdulillah 33 times, at the end of every prayer.'"
"When one prays for one's brother, the angel says: Amin, and for you the same."
(Sahih Al Jami 2143) So pray for your brother pilgrim that Allah accepts his
Hajj and gives him its reward.

6 Iconic Scenes Ripped Off From Lesser-Known Movies
#3. Apocalypse Now -- The Ride of the Valkyries Entrance Is from The Birth of a Nation (1915)
If you asked us to pick the most iconic scene from Apocalypse Now, we'd ... have a hell of a time, because there's like 900 of them. Seriously, that's a long-ass movie. Still, probably the first iconic scene is the Ride of the Valkyries bit near the beginning, where Charlie Sheen's dad and the lawyer from The Godfather charge into a Vietnamese village while blasting German opera from their helicopters.
Also, napalm.
If you're not sure what song we're talking about, just picture U.S. helicopters bombing the shit out of a village and it will automatically start playing in your head (even if you've never seen the movie). You know the one: da-da-ra-DA-da, da-da-ra-DA-da ...
Before being used in Apocalypse Now, Ride of the Valkyries wasn't yet known as a dramatic military number ... because it hadn't yet been used in Apocalypse Now. For most people, the tune was most commonly associated with killing wabbits.
And confused eroticism.
Unless, of course, you were a German opera buff. Or a racist ...
Who Did It First:
D.W. Griffith's 1915 film The Birth of a Nation used the same song in a similar scene, with one small difference: Instead of the U.S. Army flying into a village, it was the Ku Klux Klan galloping to the rescue.
You know, the old "The KKK swoops in and saves everyone in the third act" cliche.
The Birth of a Nation takes place during a version of the Civil War where North and South end up joining forces against the real enemy: black people. At the end of the movie, the heroic Ku Klux Klan rides into South Carolina, which has been taken over by ... a bunch of white dudes in blackface, apparently.
All the bad guys are blackface actors, so in a way, this is the most anti-racist movie ever.
Despite Birth's blatant glorification of the KKK and depiction of black Americans as wild animals, this movie still ... nope, we're not finishing that sentence. On one hand, it pioneered concepts like actually moving the cameras and using rapid cuts, and you're probably still seeing its influence in movies today. On the other hand, everything else about it.
Still, considering that Apocalypse Now isn't exactly pro-Vietnam War, it's likely that Francis Ford Coppola intentionally wanted to draw a subtle parallel between the Klan painting themselves as heroes in the Reconstruction-era South and the U.S. forces doing the same thing during 'Nam.
The surfing scene is clearly a reference to ... carpetbagging?
#2. The Untouchables -- The Stairway Scene Is from Battleship Potemkin (1925)
It's one of the tensest moments in cop movie history: Kevin Costner and his team of badass Untouchables are eagerly awaiting the arrival of Al Capone's bookie at a train station when Costner kindly helps a woman take her baby carriage up the stairs. As soon as the bad guys show up, though, Costner instantly forgets about the baby and pushes the carriage down the stairs as he begins shooting people all around it and the mother.
Serve and protect, but only when there's nothing to shoot.
After what seems like an eternity, Costner realizes some asshole pushed a freaking baby down the stairs, stands there doing nothing for a while and finally rushes down to save it ... while still shooting everyone around him, of course.
"I know I'm a gangster, Kevin Costner, but can we take a time-out and get that baby out of -- ARRGH!"
Who Did It First:
The scene is nearly identical to a sequence from the silent Russian film Battleship Potemkin, the longest 70 minutes of communist propaganda every first year film school student will ever be forced to watch.
This might be the origin of the idea that communists hate babies.
In both movies, the carriage is surrounded by bullets: Battleship Potemkin shows the ruthless tsarist army brutally massacring innocent people in pre-Soviet Revolution Russia. So the main difference, in terms of this scene, is that in Battleship Potemkin the baby actually gets stabbed to death by a soldier.
It's all Kevin Costner's fault in that movie, too.
Apparently, this "Odessa Steps" sequence gets "homaged" a lot, including in Terry Gilliam's Brazil:
The Naked Gun 33 1/3:
The most fantastic part here is that O.J. Simpson saves the babies.
And even Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith:
Yes, George Lucas appears for the second time on this list for borrowing imagery from an old-timey film. Also, Lucas totally based the pod race in The Phantom Menace on a chariot race from an old movie where actual horses were killed.
#1. The Shining -- Jack Hacking Down the Door Is from a Silent Horror Film
No single moment in The Shining captures the themes of this movie more perfectly than the scene where Jack Nicholson hacks down the door to murder his family (except, perhaps, the one with the guy in the rabbit costume getting a blow job). Jack's axe represents all the repressed rage we've seen him build up through the movie, and Shelley Duvall being trapped in a room with an axe-wielding maniac shouting at her is a perfect metaphor for working with Stanley Kubrick.
Actually, we're not even sure it's a metaphor.
In fact, this is such an iconic scene that it is now nearly impossible to see a man's face peeking from a hole in the door he just hacked open without hearing the words "Heeeere's Johnny" every time.
Who Did It First:
The Shining lifts almost every ingredient of this scene from a 1921 Swedish film called The Phantom Carriage. Even the setup is the same: Both protagonists are alcoholic fathers under the influence of supernatural forces whose wives lock themselves away to protect their respective children. However, there's more than one way to open a door.
That door is goddamn staying open.
In The Phantom Carriage, the couple actually has two little girls ... one of whom coincidentally appears to be sporting the exact same hairstyle as the kid in The Shining.
Finally, we know the back story of those creepy twins.
And before you say anything: Nope, this exact same scene isn't in the Stephen King novel. In the book, Jack's weapon of choice is a croquet mallet, because apparently he couldn't find a tennis racket. To our knowledge, Kubrick never admitted knowing about this film, but considering that he was trying to figure out how a man would act when driven crazy by isolation and snow, we wouldn't be surprised if he decided to look to Sweden for inspiration.

For example, a table that LaTeX would later number as 8 is too big to fit on one page, so I split it up manually and want it to be automatically labeled 8a and 8b and referred to as 8 in the text. Does this exist? I am sure that I'm searching the wrong keywords, again.
The back story is that I create tables with scripts in R. I looked for a widetable package here yesterday and there are some good solutions, but not for the scripts I already have (although I'd like to later add them). Plus it sounds like a good skill to have. Thanks!

The 3rd annual Ionia County Commission on Aging golf outing is scheduled for June 22. For those involved with the commission, this event represents the necessity of supporting services and programs for the elderly and their caregivers within the community.
The event is being held at Candlestone Golf and Resort in Belding. Registration begins at 8 a.m. and there will be a shotgun start at 9 a.m. Registration for the event is $50 per person, which includes 18 holes of golf, lunch, and a donation to the In-Home Respite Program offered through the Ionia County Commission on Aging.
Maria Robertson, the community relations coordinator for Metron Integrated Health Systems, is encouraging local businesses to register for the event by contacting the Ionia County Commission on Aging at 616-527-5365.
Proceeds from this outing will benefit the in-home respite program, which provides relief to the caregivers of local senior citizens. In addition to helping support caregivers, this event provides the community with the opportunity to connect with the Ionia County Commission on Aging, learn more about the various facilities and services offered for senior citizens throughout Michigan, and help raise funds and awareness for issues regarding aging and care.
The commission on aging provides many services to seniors, including home assistance aid, nutrition programs, wellness programs and supportive services. In addition to learning about the services provided through the commission on aging, participants will be given the opportunity to learn firsthand about the six locations offered through Metron Integrated Health Systems and what each has to offer clients and families.
Robertson is optimistic going into this year's event, projecting there will be more teams in 2013 than there have been in the past. The event began in 2011 with six teams participating. In 2012, the Ionia County Commission on Aging again hosted the event and the turnout more than doubled, with 13 teams competing. At both previous outings, the Metron Belding team has won.

Sam Fine is an artist. His canvas? The faces of some of the world's most gorgeous women: Vanessa Williams, Iman, Tyra Banks, etc. In his 1999 book Fine Beauty , the handsome Chicago native explained how sisters can create red carpet worthy looks in the comfort of their own homes and his follow up video, The Basics of Beauty, addresses common concerns amongst African American women and breaks down the tools and techniques needed to create flawless faces.
The celebrity beauty king is wearing another crown these says: Creative Director of Fashion Fair, the legendary brand created by Johnson Publishing Company founder Eunice Johnson. One of the exciting offerings marking the prestige brand's 40th year is the Sam Fine Fashion Fair Supreme Color Collection, which debuted last month. Here, we caught up with Fine to discuss the new line, his thoughts about working with such a storied company and why Black women still need a a makeup brand to call their own.
EBONY: First of all, congratulations on your signature line! This has got to be an amazing time for you.
Sam Fine: Thank you, thank you. You can't be a person of color or a makeup artist without being familiar with Fashion Fair. I'm a kid from Chicago, so of course I'd know about the Johnson legacy. I was raised around it. It was the Johnsons, Oprah and Michael Jordan! I mean, come on! I had the pleasure of working with Eunice Johnson for Ebony Fashion Fair ads with a few top models. You don't realize that you're in the presence of an icon and a legendary trailblazer until it's too late.
EBONY: That's exactly how I feel right now!
SF: Whatever! [Laughs] Working with her was so fun; it is so engrained in my memory. It was such a big event for me. I just felt like it was like a homecoming, and things were coming full circle for me [since working with her in the past]. So you can only imagine how I feel about becoming the Creative Director at Fashion Fair...They could have gone and picked up a beautiful celebrity or a top model, but they came to an authority. That was a huge feather in my cap.
EBONY: What is the difference between being the creative director of a beauty brand and being a spokesperson for a brand?
SF: It is very different. I feel like, in many ways, I was a talking head before. [As a spokesperson] you don't have a part of the product process. So this is really an opportunity to put my fingerprints down in a way. To be able to have the first co-branded collection that they've done, during their 40th year in business is major.
EBONY: What do you feel the Sam Fine Signature Collection is offering to women of color that other brands are not?
SF: I'm a makeup artist. I shop everywhere. I have three sisters and a mom at home--- I know what it's like shopping for color and high-end pigments and formulas [for Black women.] I always tell my clients, "You have to remember: women of color are 'color already'." Everything has to blend in with their already deeply hued backdrop. What's different about my collection is that it's highly pigmented. I know we hear "highly pigmented" a lot from many brands. But, I'd like to think that anyone who knows my work, from Iman to Jennifer Hudson, knows that I don't skim.
EBONY: Yes, we know you don't skim Sam!
SF: This collection is definitely a reflection of that return to color and really, it's Fashion Fair's legacy! I still have eye shadows that I used on Tyra from Fashion Fair when she was 21, when they were going for strong blues and I couldn't really find a blue eye shadow [for Black women.] This isn't anything new to Fashion Fair, but I don't think the industry often thinks about women of color. It's 2013, and we're still an afterthought. They don't base their formulations on thinking, "Is this brown going to show up against Iman's skin?" I'm taking that mindset to the lab when I create products. I'm filling in some of the gaps that I needed as a makeup artist.
EBONY: How do you feel the brand's longtime customers will react to your new line?
SF: You know, I still want to court her. She is my mom, and she is my sister. Of course, my mom's sitting there saying, "I'm not going to wear purple eye shadow, Sam." I get that. But I don't think I did anything that would offend or distance myself from [FFC's] existing consumer. There are clearly beautiful reds, like the Dynasty Red (lipstick), and beautiful berries.
EBONY: Where do you think Black women are in regards to our confidence with our beauty?
SF: I think that they've become more confident. When you look at Rihanna

I have the task of setting up a beat (bass and drums) to already existing vocal-only tracks. (Male vocal, three-part harmony.) I've tried playing along, and while I like the feel of what I'm getting, I can't quite hit the sweet spot in terms of syncing to a rock-solid rhythm.
I'm fairly certain the song was recorded to a click track, but I don't have that audio data. Has anyone done this sort of thing successfully? How did you do it?
(This question straddles performance and audio, and is in part a test question. The situation is real, though.)

If I define an additive functor to be a functor on abelian categories such that the action of F on Hom(A,B) is a group homomorphism, do I necessarily have that F(zero object) = zero object?
Since the OP asked for a detailed answer:
Let $A$ be an object of an abelian (or additive) category. Then $A$ is a zero object if and only if the zero endomorphism is the identity endomorphism (and then $Hom(A,A)$ is the zero ring). If $F$ is any functor, it sends the identity morphism of $A$ to the identity morphism of $F(A)$. If in addition $F$ is additive (no pun intended), it also sends the zero morphism to the zero morphism. Thus $F(0)$ is a zero object.
Another exercise in the similar spirit: show that additive functor is additive on objects: it sends finite direct sums to direct sums. (Your question is the particular case of empty direct sum.)

Hospitals & The Free Market
Dear Editor:
The Op-Ed column "A health-care loophole" (Thursday), by Charles N. Kahn III, president of the Federation of American Hospitals, was misleading at best and untrue at worst.
Leaving aside the obvious irony of the head of an association of for-profit hospitals criticizing the profit motive of specialty hospitals, and even looking beyond his slander of the medical profession in accusing specialty hospitals of "cherry picking" the most profitable patients, the fact is that Mr. Kahn does not give an even mildly accurate picture of specialty hospitals.
Mr. Kahn neglects to mention that the overwhelming majority of doctors at specialty hospitals have no ownership stake and nearly all of the few who do have such a stake own less than 6 percent. These facts are documented by the Government Accountability Office, so prominently featured in Mr. Kahn's attack against competition and doctors.
His charge that there is no evidence of higher quality at specialty hospitals is also false. The Lewin Group, a well-respected health consulting firm, found significantly better quality at the specialty heart hospitals it studied.
The most troubling statement by Mr. Kahn is his claim to support "free-market-oriented health policy." Free markets, the last time I checked, don't include having the government shut down your competition because it is taking away market share or eating into your profits.
Full-service hospitals do face a number of challenges, some entirely of their own making -- such as bizarre pricing practices that hit the poor and uninsured with the highest bills -- and some foisted on them by government programs that shortchange hospitals. I suggest that Mr. Kahn focus on those problems rather than trying to shut down his competition.

Could someone explain a couple of scenarios where the system design can justify the use of an encryption solution, respectively, as 3DES and Blowfish?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
I'll add a few, one related to the backwards compatability: if you have a hardware implementation that only does 3DES (many older smartcards) then 3DES could be preferred over AES. Hardware accelerators can be used for both speedups and security (side channel attacks, see below).
3DES implementations may be less vulnerable to side channel attacks (although it certainly is not immune from it). AES is harder to get right - as I've come to understand - because of it's internal design (table accesses). AES better algo, bigger blocksize or key size does not mean much when confronted with a good side channel attack.
3DES has a 8 byte blocksize compared with 16 bytes for AES which can lead to a bit more overhead when using it in block mode encryption. Of course, this one can be mitigated by using a stream mode cipher, and we're only talking about a few bytes for the last block. This is an extremely thin argument for this reason.
I'll be a bit shorter on Blowfish: variable key size and sometimes faster than AES, less likely to be implemented in hardware, but backwards compatibility may be reasons, and the 8 byte blocksize again.
None of the three reasons above is generally enough to choose 3DES or Blowfish over AES of course.
Just one: backward compatibility with existing data or services/API that requires them.
Otherwise keep it simple and just use AES :-)
Note that people often suggest that using older algorithms gets better performance (not a very good tradeoff IMHO) but that's generally not the case (you'll need to test it against the library you use) and AES ends up way faster (at least from 3DES).
what about replacing the key addition subroutine with 3DES so that each block of the four blocks of eight characters get encrypted and including Blowfish F() inside the DES function F() i.e before the 32 bits is returned by the DES F(), I am actually using this idea to create a number generator to try and crack the lottery and to date have won £106.40, would love to upload the code but there is no way to do it here anyway.

*6 P.M. Saturday Update*
A Rudder High School student is still recovering in the hospital after collapsing during Friday night's football game in Bryan.
Now his school and community are getting behind him to show support.
At last check David Wilganowski was listed in stable condition in Houston and that's better news than what we heard Friday night when he was listed in serious condition at St. Joseph Regional Health Center in Bryan.
Wilganowski or "Wigs" as his friends call him underwent tests Saturday afternoon at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston to figure out why he collapsed Friday night during the 4th quarter of the game that suspended play for the rest of the night.
It was a frightening moment with also words of encouragement from the Rudder High School Community as stand out player David Wilganowski was carted out of St. Joseph Regional Health Center in Bryan for a PHI Helicopter flight to Texas Children's Hospital in Houston.
During the 4th quarter of Friday night's game against Leander Rouse he collapsed on the field and had to under go CPR at Merrill Green Stadium.
"I couldn't see anything I was in the middle of the huddle there were people around him I didn't see anything," said Jared Cohan, a wide receiver and senior at Rudder.
Like many of Wilganowski's classmates Cohan stood on the sidelines of the hospital watching and praying that he'll be ok.
"He's always positive so that's a good thing to have on the team," said Cohan.
"All of a sudden Wigs goes down and you know we just kind of looked like what happened, nobody knew, nobody had any idea then we all the team just got together in a huddle and coach came over and talked to us and told us everything's going to be all right," said Dezmun Williams, a defensive tackle on the team.
Williams says there's still lots of confusion over what exactly happened under those Friday night lights.
"Keep wigs in your prayers and his family and we hope to have him back soon," he added.
A fundraiser is going on to help Wilganowski's family with expenses while they're in Houston.
One event happened Saturday afternoon at Harvey Mitchell Elementary School in Bryan.
Students and friends used Facebook starting Saturday morning to get the word out.
They're trying to raise as much as they can to help Wilganowski's parents with hotel expenses and food.
The students said they wanted to help out in their own way.
The school has set up an account as well to help Wilganowski's family.
You can donate at any Citi Bank.
It's unclear if the football game will be made up or if it will go down as a tie game.
*Previous Story*
The high school football game Friday night between Rudder High School and Leander Rouse was suspended in the 4th quarter after a Rudder player collapsed on the field at Merrill Green Stadium in Bryan.
A team trainer performed CPR on senior defensive lineman David Wilganowski on the field before he was taken by ambulance to an area hospital.
Sources say Wilganowski was responsive and sitting up and talking after arriving at St. Joseph Regional Health Center in Bryan.
A spokesperson for the Bryan school district says Wilganowski is being flown to Texas Children's Hospital in Houston for further care.
News 3 has also learned that family friends have established a fund at Citibank to help the Wilganowski's with expenses while they are in Houston.
News 3 extends our thoughts and prayers to the family of Wilganowski for his recovery.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals.

For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Shiva-Sumit Won Gold Medals At Asian Olympic
Shiva Thapa (56kg) and Sumit Sangwan (81kg) from India won gold medal for their individual sorts at the Asian Olympic on April 12, 2012, after a day they made the cut for the London Olympic Games.
Shiva is 18 but he overwhelmed bronze medal at Wessam Salamana of Syria in Asian Games on 2010. Shiva hit silver medal for Worapoj Petchkoon of Thailand in Athens Olympics earlier in the contest, was brimming with buoyancy with his Olympic spot protected. He was ongoing slowly against the fast paced Syria boxer, then he came back with his counter attacks, captivating a slender one point lead after the opening round (5:4). Shiva got silver medal in Youth Olympic on 2010 for hand adroitness and timing – his left hand punch proved to be the powerful weapon. Shiva had a three points lead (10:7) for reaching final round, which encouraged Salamana to go all out. Finally he hit the title with score of 18:11.
Sangwan is 19 but he plagued bronze medal in Guangzhou Games, Jakhon Qurbanov of Tajikistan. Sumit lead Qurbanov and play his normal game. Both of them threw in some good punches and give up five points each in the second round. But Sangwan hit the game from Qurbanov in last round. He frustrated the Tajik with his solid defence and counter attacked on almost every occasion, wearing his opponent down. He finally won the gold with a 14:9 victory.
Shiva and Sumit have immense development for their age; that the way they examine their challengers and acclimatize them. Both the teenagers concentrated with timing and counters attacks. They are great future forecast for India.

fixmerocess:GetLogicalProcessorInformation (0x32f620,0x32fc20): stub
I may have just REALLY screwed it up. Out of ideas, I uninstalled it from wine and then downloaded the free game from the website. But when I try to execute the setup file it's just "checking for updates" forever. The wait status is "poll_schedule_timeout," which is an improvement over the "pipe_wait status" it had all last night. But apparently it is waiting for some kind of input.
Well, my sister worked on this for like 3 hours straight, reinstalling Wine manually and updating the graphics driver and trying various other fixes suggested on line. The current error problem is:
Ubuntu 12.04fixme: process:get logical processor information
Wine 1.5.12
GeForce 8300GS
I let this update overnight. Game is fully loaded now and can play. The sound had a horrible crackling and was cutting out and the game was freezing and when it crashed it threw me all the way out of Ubuntu.
I found a thread on how to fix the crackling sound, and that worked but only for the crackling. I found another that said to enter exact values into the audio on Wine instead of using the system defaults, but my Wine config doesn't have that option, just a drop down menu.
Other threads said I must kill Pulseaudio, but still others said I must have Pulseaudio. Another said I need to tinker with ALSA but I don't know where to find that. So. Ongoing problems:
Sound cuts out
Graphics/movement freeze
Game boots me completely out of the OS when it crashes
Ubuntu 12.04
Wine 1.5.12
GeForce 8300GS
ETA: Killing Pulseaudio made no difference.
In WTF config:
andSET Sound_SoundOutputSystem "1"
SET Sound_SoundBufferSize "150"
made no difference.SET ffxDeath "0"
SET ffxGlow "0"

I found this in the sticky:
but I just upgraded to 12.04 yesterday. There are no pending updates.If using Wine causes very nasty problems like system freezes requiring a hardware reset or the xserver crashing and dumping you back to the login screen, then there is a deeper problem with your system that Wine is simply exposing. The most common cause of this is problematic drivers. Upgrading to the latest Ubuntu release can often solve these problems.
I haven't had any sound problems before playing wow, but I have a few suggestions you may try.
What bit version of ubuntu are you using (i386 or amd64) and sound hardware are you using? I didn't see you post it anywhere.
Try sticking to using wine from the Ubuntu Wine PPA. You posted you are using 1.5.12, and as of this writing the ubuntu ppa is only up to 1.5.11.
There is a bit of a dust up on the inclusion of pulseaudio in mainstream wine so for the ubuntu PPA it's been added afterward, hence delay behind offical releases. You can read about that here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1960599
AE's rGL wine patch/module might be interfering with wine, so I would leave off trying it til you have a working base wine/wow install before giving it a try.
There's a lot of outdated information on getting wow on wine working out there (ppl been doing this for 5+ years now), however some may still apply in your case, it can be really hard to tell. Do try to pay attention to what version of ubuntu, wine, hardware, and the date when the information was posted when taking them into consideration.
Dell Latitude D630 - 4GB RAM - 128GB SSD - Nvidia Quadro NVS 135M - Intel 4965 wireless - DVD/CDRW - bluetooth - fingerprint reader
OK, if I've already got Wine 1.5.12 how do I go back to 1.5.11?
I know that is a n00b question but I am a n00b.

How Old Is Too Old?
In matters of car seat safety, what matters is not your child's age, but her size. The federal government recommends that anybody under 4'9" ride in a booster seat.

Late Model Dirt Racing Chassis - DIY Cockpit - ChassisWritten by on December 8, 2009 Project DLM
Many racers who buy cars from a chassis builder will buy a rolling chassis. Heck, it saves a bunch of time and you can usually drop your motor in and go. However, it can also be costly and if you already have good parts and only your chassis needs replacing, a bare frame may be the way to go.
Building a Dirt Late Model or any car for that matter from the ground up is a time consuming project but if you have the time you can save some big bucks by doing it all yourself. There are also several advantages to starting with just the bare frame such as customizing cockpit items to your own specifications.
Our new Mastersbilt chassis for Project DLM came to us as a bare frame. When we got it to the Circle Track shop and did the once over we decided to re-powdercoat it in a color that would match the car's design that many of you have already seen. Lasker Powdercoating in Tampa applied the awesome "Booty Blue" (yes, that's the name of the color) and we're ready to get to work.
The very first thing we'll do is build and install the sheetmetal for the cockpit. The seat, wheel, deck, and related items will come at a later date. So, follow along as we show you how we built our own cockpit.

2.Since everything in the cockpit is based off of the floorpan, it has to go in first. Here, we drill the holes in the where rivets will eventually hold the entire cockpit together.3.Until that time however, a Cleco holds the sheetmetal in place.
 Before bending the first piece of sheetmetal there was one item that we had to have in order to build the cockpit-the brake pedal assembly. Since the assembly in our Rayburn would not fit in this new chassis we bought a new set. With the pedals in place we can begin templating the cockpit with cardboard.4.With the Champ Pans kit held in place we can cut out cardboard templates to create an exact model of how we want the cockpit to look once it is complete.5.With the Champ Pans kit held in place we can cut out cardboard templates to create an exact model of how we want the cockpit to look once it is complete.6.With the cardboard loosely fit inside the driver compartment we can make any final adjustments and/or cuts to the templates before cutting and bending sheetmetal.7.We headed over to Dean's Custom Sheetmetal in Dover, Florida, to source our 0.040-thick white on white sheetmetal. Here, fellow Dirt Late Model racer Travis Varnadore measures out the dimensions for our first sheet.8.Now that the metal is back at the shop, it's critical to get the measurements and dimensions correct-always measure twice and cut once. Here we're using our template for the lower front panel of the cockpit that will sit just in front of the brake pedals.9.When you cut sheetmetal you cut the bulk of it away, leaving approximately 1/4-inch extra near your line.
11.Once the metal is cut, a gentle tap with a hammer smooths out the edge. That's a piece of block aluminum under the white sheetmetal.12.Don't have a sheetmetal brake? You can make your own using a piece of 1/4-inch-thick 4x4-inch angle steel, a vise, and a 2x10. Using a soft hammer you can slowly bend the metal into the shape you want.13.The red string marks the height of the deck. All of the panels of the cockpit are measured off of that string and the floorpan.
14.The left-side panel has been cut and bent to fit. It takes two people to get in place.16.As the cockpit begins to take shape we use Vise-Grips to hold the various panels in place.17.During the process there were several areas where we had to notch our metal to fit around the rollbars. We taped foam pads around the metal to protect our new powdercoating job.18.Everything must be test fit before locking down anything with the vise. Now is the time to make any changes. Here we're working on the back of the cockpit.
20.With everything test fit and all of the panels fitting together correctly we drill holes and put Cleco fasteners in those holes to hold everything in place prior to riveting.
