Brothers One-Piece Power Windows - Reduce Wind NoiseWritten by on December 7, 2010
In 2005 my wife and I had the opportunity to purchase a brand-new car. When I drove the new car home I realized one thing right away-it was quiet inside and I didn't have to crank the windows down. At the time I was driving a four-door '62 Chevy Impala with Rally wheels. It was a no-post car so I could roll the windows down, and it would almost appear as if it were a two-door but that's beside the point. The only thing about that car was that when I did roll the windows up the wind noise was horrendous, and you were not be able to talk to the passenger without yelling. Skip a few years, and I sold the Impala for a '59 Chevy Apache Fleetside, but, again, the wind noise at highway speeds was enough to drive me crazy.
So I contacted Brothers Trucks of Corona, California, where their friendly staff guided me through a way to get rid of some of the obnoxious noise coming in the cab. First was installing their one-piece glass along with new door components to shine up the interior. The kit comes with two window switches, wires, two regulators with motors, run channels, window felt, glass, and bag of miscellaneous hardware.
Several things must be taken into consideration when installing the one-piece windows. The first depends on whether you want to upholster the door panel or not. I chose not to upholster the doors. In the directions it says you can cut a square hole in the door for easy access to the guts of the door; this step was not necessary with my door because I could reach the parts from the large open hole in the top of the door. And the second thing to consider leans more toward the traditional look of the vehicle. I wanted stock-looking handles to control the window motors. I was in luck and it just so happened that Brothers Trucks had been working on a switch that would do just what I was looking for. The switches are separate from the kit but will operate the power window motors from the stock location in the door panel with Brothers replacement window crank handle; my stock crank handle would not fit the new switch. So with the one-piece window all figured out partswise I wanted to further reduce noise by also installing a new door seal. Taking these steps now while my truck is getting ready to get back on the road will help ensure that the truck will be more comfortable to drive-and besides, I want to hear some tunes when I'm cruising.

The next step is to remove the Phillips head screws from the door panels to remove the outer cover from the door. Also, two armrest screws are right under the handle.Remove the door latch mechanism screws with a special tool. Lucky for me, a local hardware store had the tool in stock. Now remove the door latch mechanism and set it aside.Support the glass with tape and remove the window regulator bolts on the lower part of the door. Also, remove the bolts around where the window crank handle slides.Next, remove the felt. Barnes used a door panel removal tool, but a regular flat head screwdriver will also work.Remove the 1/4-inch bolts holding the glass to the regulator and remove the glass from the door. If you plan on selling the glass be careful when pulling it out not to scratch it.You will need to cut this piece of the door. It helped guide the old window but now it will get in the way of the new one-piece window.
There is a metal crossbrace that connects inner and outer doorskins; this will have to be removed to make room for the regulator. Barnes used an air-powered buzz saw to make quick work of the metal crossbrace.3M PN 08011 makes a black weatherstrip adhesive that will work perfect to glue the new window run channel.Here I used the 3M glue to attach the run channel to the rear upper door. Tape was used to hold the run channel and glue into place while I worked on the other pieces. Note: Do not glue the whole run channel in at this point, because the front of the window to run channel may need to be spaced to fit your door properly. This will depend on how well your door was constructed by GM.You will need to drill a few holes for the new window regulator. Working with the driver's door measure 13 3/4 inches from the left and 1 3/8 inches down and mark this with a Sharpie. Moving down from the top hole, measure 13 3/4 inches from the left and 2 3/4 inches down from the big rectangle hole in the door and mark with a Sharpie. These two markings are where you will need to drill a 5 1/6-inch hole through both panels and then use a 7/8 hole saw to drill into only the first panel.Measure 9 1/5 inches from the second hole down and 13 3/4 inches across from the left and mark and drill with the 5/16 bit. Next, measure 7 1/2 inches from the right side of the door and 6 inches down from the bottom crease of the door latch cover; also drill with a 5/16 bit. The last hole is for the front run channel guide that will require adjustment inside the door. This may be a good time for you to cut the square hole out for easier access, but again this is optional.Test-fit the regulator inside the door panel. You will need to pull the regulator in and out a few times to get the adjustable nuts to line up to the holes drilled in the door. Notice the plate that I am holding. This will attach to the regulator with the acorn nuts. When using the acorn nuts they will not be tightened to the regulator all the way, this allows for the window to move freely in the channel and prevents binding.Next, use the supplied window base channel and rubber to attach the window to the channel. After putting the rubber in the channel to bend it in half I placed the sticky side toward the window and used a rubber mallet to gently hammer the channel from one end to the other onto the window.There is a guide that you will need to put the black ceramic balls into so the regulator can float freely from side to side. Next, attach the supplied nuts to the bottom of the window base run channel to the guide. This guide will be attached to the window regulator and is guided via the round balls with the holes in the center.
Slide the window into place and check for fitment issues with the window and run channel. Adjust the gap if necessary and finish gluing the remainder of the run channel. I would suggest using tape to hold the run channel to the frame while the glue is drying.I used this handy tool called a Power Probe. It hooks up to the vehicle's battery and allows you to apply power and ground to circuits with a circuit breaker built inside. I applied power and ground to the regulator motor to bring it to the top of the door.This is how the guides should look when inside the door panel. Remember to use the acorn nuts for the regulator guide so that you don't crush it against the regulator. Also, use the supplied washers and clips to mate the two guides together. You will need to copy this inside the doorframe.This is the front run channel guide that will need to be adjusted once inside the door. Roll the window up and down and adjust accordingly.This is the switch that will go into the stock window cranks place. This switch is an extra option from Brothers that will keep the stock look of the door panel and handles. Make a quick template out of paper and transfer it to the door panel. Use a punch and small drill bit to drill the three holes for the switch mounts. In my case I had extra material that I needed to file away in order to mount the switch smoothly on the inside of the door. Connect the wires from the kit to the switch and take the two blue wires and connect them to either end of the window motor. Test and make sure they are hooked up correctly.Drill a 3/4-inch hole on the driver-side A-pillar and a 15/16-inch hole on the inside of the door. I used the rubber grommet to hold the spring in place and the other slide bushing to allow the spring and wires to move freely into the door when opening and closing. Find a buddy with long arms to help you with the inside washer that will hold the slide bushing into place. I removed the door from the body to drill the 15/16 hole, but if you cut the square access hole you could just drill the hole from the inside of the door panel.While I had the door panel off I went ahead and replaced the outer door handle with a new Brothers Trucks handle and replaced the outer door weatherstrip that I purchased from Brothers.I installed the door latch mechanism, the outer cover, and the new Brothers door latch handle and window crank. Now it was time to finish up the wiring on the switches that go into the cab. I used a 12g power wire coming straight off the battery and a 20-amp fuse to protect the motors. If you choose to run it off the ignition switch it would be preferred to use a relay. Also, if you have kids, they can't operate the window without the keys in the ignition.

The Greatest Movie to ever be made. Heath Ledger as The Joker is absolutely the best role in the film.
Isn't it funny how even though The Joker is the bad guy in The Dark Knight, you still root for him? Its not like other movies where the villian is always hated. In my opinion, Bat Man is a pansie and Joker is a God!

The Dark Knight is the highest rated comic book film ever.
by Johnny5689 July 19, 2008
A movie that proves that when a production staff actually works to make a sincerely great movie, it will, in the end, pay off infinitely better than the endless flood of quickie cash-ins that comprise 90% of Hollywood's output these days.
The Dark Knight is one of the best movies of the past several years, and excels in every way it aims to.

|It was the first day of Fall as We headed up The Green lakes trail at 7:15 a.m. It was a cool, brisk walk into the Green lakes basin. We headed east over trackless pumice fields to intercept climbers trail. It was cool and windy as we headed up the northwest ridge. We reached the cliff band were there was a bit of snow. We free climbed the cliff band and proceeded up the ramp to the summit. We enjoyed the views, snapped some pictures and ate some lunch. We headed back down to the cliff band acroos the rotten rock of the ramp. I carried a rope and some pro with me. It was decided to set up a rap station and by pass the cliff band and some Chossy rock to a belay ledge below. We then scree skied down the west flank and into the pumice fields below.

We climbed together all summer and because of this late night summit we dubbed ourselves the 'Midnight Mountaineers.'

|Arrived at Green Lakes TH at 2:00 only to find it was closed for bridge installation. We decided to take the Todd Lake Trail as our alternate route which added 2.5 miles to the hike. We arrived at Green Lakes and set up camp at the furthest camp site (#28) and then began to scramble up the NW ridge. Once we reached the summit block I first looked right along the ledge for an easy route up. I didn't like it, so I looked left and found a pretty easy class 3/4 climb to the summit on the north side. We made the summit just as the sun was setting over the Three Sisters. After a few moments of enjoying the sunset, we descended via the west face scree fields. We finished the last 2 miles or so back to camp under one headlamp between the two of us. Great climb and great views from the summit.

The snow was soft enough by the time we got to the mountain to pack the skis and kick steps all the way up. Had great snow for the first half of the climb and then it turned to a scree climb. Summited by 12:30. Had a great ski down and toured back out in the hot weather and made it to the car just before the thunder storms at 4pm. GPS stated that the total distance was just shy of 6 miles each way. Make sure to take all the navagation tools you can, especially when there is still snow on the ground. Great trip.

We camped the night before, near and at the trailhead off of FR380/370. Four miles from the trailhead we took a scramble route straight towards the saddle in the northwest ridge bypassing the eastern shores of Green lakes. Once on the ridge the views of the surrounding area were awesome. (They were down below also.) We hit the summit block at about 11:00AM, leaving the trailhead at about 7:15AM. We believe we followed Brian Jenkins route up to the summit. Took a bit to find but once we found the route we were up in no time. We scree skied the descent down the western slope and scrambled back to the trail. Great day, excellent weather, and truly awesome company.

Tiny Worlds
A little over a year ago my notebooks started filling up with tiny worlds.
I can't say what brought this on, except that I was traveling a lot, and still am. After 7 years making indie games, I've discovered a way to earn a living that lets me keep doing what I love. It means saying yes to every opportunity to share what I do, whether it's speaking in China, consulting in the States, or teaching in Sweden. Last year my trusty suitcase kicked up dust in 15 different cities.
One of my favorite things about being on the road is seeing how life is similar from place to place, and maybe that's how I hit upon the idea that the world is tiny.
The tiny worlds in my sketches had a few recurring themes. Beautiful, lush plant life, climbing into tiny atmospheres. Little animals. Ghosts. I didn't have much time to organize these thoughts, but I kept drawing them, kept wanting to see them evolve. I remember staring bleary-eyed out the window of my overnight flight from Chicago to Stockholm, pencil in hand. It was sunset when I left, sunrise when I arrived. Our plane raced the sun around the Earth, and I couldn't get the picture out of my head.
The project started as an exercise in learning to program. Wanting to improve my game-making abilities, I coded a bunch of things I thought were 'game'-y: health, lives, enemies, death. But the game rejected these transplants, and one by one I took them out. To my surprise I was left with a kernel of original gameplay, one that could likely be spun into a whole universe. I saw lonely planets teeming with life, and in the middle of their forests was a little lost ghost girl trying to find her way home.
I'm here to announce my new game, Gravity Ghost. It's an explorational physics platformer that lets you fling yourself from planet to planet, navigating gravitational fields and orbits. There's an equally important vein of terraforming and cultivating life. Gravity Ghost is being developed in Unity, with love, by a small and dedicated team (plus a good number of volunteers who lend a hand with code, web, and project management). I will have more to share about the project very soon, probably after GDC.
I'm going to make the development process an open one. I want to open a window to any game players, students, or game developers who are curious about how an indie game gets made. The screenshots above, for instance, show the game in its current state. Everything you see is subject to change, from the art to the UI elements. I love watching my games evolve, and I hope you will too.
For regular developments you can subscribe to this website, follow me on Twitter @Livelyivy, or get game updates from the brand new @Gravity_Ghost. On behalf of our team, we hope you enjoy learning about our game. Making an indie game is always an exercise in organizing chaos, and we really hope you join us on this journey.

In a proof in Milne's note "Abelian Variety" (top on p.52), I saw an equality: $ \mathrm{Ker}(\beta)(l) = \mathrm{Coker}(T_{l}(\beta))$, here $\beta$ is an (separable) isogeny of an abelian variety $A/k$, $l$ is a prime number different from the characteristic of the base field $k$, $(l)$ means the torsion points of order a power of $l$, $T_{l}(\beta)$ is the induced map of $\beta$ on the Tate module of $A$.
I can't figure out why this equality holds. Do we have a natural map for these two groups?

I want to troubleshoot a cron job that worked fine until a recent modification, but I can't find the cron log file, where is it?
By default, cron does not log output of executed jobs. It is possible to log the fact that cronjobs have been executed, but that is not the default on OS X either.
In order to investigate cronjob execution output, I suggest modifying your cronjob line to redirect STDOUT and STDERR to logfiles. In your crontab file or after running
Doing this should send STDOUT (normally printed or echo'ed output to STDOUT) to a text file named stdout.log in the /tmp directory, and STDERR to stderr.log in the temp directory. Many utilities use STDERR to print special error messages out when they're application errors, and not errors generated by the program's actual execution. (You can read more about STDERR on Wikipedia.)
Much easier to simply add the following to

I'm in college, I have ADHD, but it's not as bad as some of the horror stories I've read about. Basically how can I make myself do homework, and get off the damn computer? Hopefully this is the right place to ask.
Remove yourself from the environment that has the distractions. Many students (myself included) work in the library rather than at home. If that isn't an option for you, create a space at home away from the distractions. Force yourself into the space at a scheduled time and break the work up into manageable chunks. Reward yourself for each completed chunk with a little break but time the break too.
I suggest Productivity/ GTD (getting things done) apps and articles. Since we have ADHD, that means these qualities are something that will help in every aspect of life.
You can start at the premium side (it took me years to get around to buying it), OmniFocus (20USD). The 'problem' with it is you're going to spend a goodly time on the internet watching Youtube videos on how to use the methodology (starting here: http://youtu.be/x7861Lzt6PI). The GREAT news is you can take that method anywhere with only paper and pencil (you don't need the app but boy, is it handy -- not just because it's on your phone but because you can add photos, set reminders, use a proximity map, etc. That app is LOADED).
Or you can start with something more about time management, which I think is the best place to start. For that, you can use an pomodoro (kitchen timer) or set your phone alarm or buy (some free) any number of apps meant just for this style of GTD! It's explained here as 25 minutes. http://anna.theworkexperiment.com/getting-things-done-with-the-pomodoro-technique/
There are variations of the method, one says work 25 minutes, then take 5 minutes 'break' and repeat. Another promotes 30/30 off (minutes on, then change) for tasks. That doesn't mean you play for 30 minutes! For example: Read Biology chapter for 30 minutes. Clean house for 30 minutes. Read Biology for 30... Read through notes for Oral Communications presentation for 30 minutes.
In the end, it'll be a combination of things that work. It's perseverance.
Consult your doctor. He might put you on Ritalin / Aderal.
Then take it from there.
First of all,you're in college. So you're already pretty good.
Now a little pessimism will do wonders here :D Let's see how that scenario would go.
Not doing homework = Detention/Low Grades (Depending on how strict your curriculum and grading system is) = Low academic performance =Low/Zero possibility of job offers = Low quality of life.
And nobody wants that. Do your homework boy
I procrastinated home work my entire life, middle school, high school, I got lots of warnings and detentions, and then in college things was not much different.
But I finally stated doing things when some of my class mates asked me for helping him to study for tests, and I was afraid to say no, and started studying in groups (I was doing just because I was required to help then).
And then we set kind of studying group, in my home (which I can't just leave) and that became a habit.
To help we also do something fun after studying, have pizza, play video games, whatever...
This really helped me a lot in my grades, also I started to be able to do my homework on my own.
If your homework is related to any concept draw a mind map of that concept with many visual items.That should keep you interested.
It can be very powerful to make a commitment to another person. One way to do this is with study groups. There is something about knowing that someone is expecting you at a certain time at the library or elsewhere to meet and do homework.
Here is a great example of how one student put together their own study group to avoid procrastinating on their homework.
If your goal is to commit yourself to getting homework done, make sure you find/form a study group that specifically devotes time to doing the homework.
Any method will be helpless if you are not interested in doing stuff. Think about it from different points of view, find something you may be interested in.
Forget what tool has said. It is basically a tool's advice. I would suggest meditating and exercising as these activities have been shown to increase self control and attention. Drugs like adderall will make you manic and eventually make you a crack head addicted person. People have become so addicted to that stuff that they have killed themselves.

WEIRTON - Jeff Baire is out as the Weirton Madonna baseball coach.
Practice started on Feb. 25 with Baire, but he was officially notified of his firing on Tuesday evening via a phone conversation with Principal Steve Grasser.
"I cannot comment on personnel issues," said Madonna athletic director Jon Kendrick. "T.J. Brancazio will be the interim coach for the year."
Article Photos
DOUSED — Weirton Madonna baseball coach Jeff Baire closes his eyes as he is about to get doused with Gatorade after the Blue Dons' West Virginia Class A state championship nine months ago.
-- Staff photo
That phone call was followed by a termination letter from Grasser to Baire dated March 5.
Baire received the letter Wednesday and opened it Thursday morning.
Baire, who led the Blue Dons to two West Virginia Class A state championships, including one last season, was in his second tenure at the school. His record stands at 101-39 the past five seasons.
He has spent eight seasons total with Madonna and had just started his ninth.
The Blue Dons were 19-51 during the 2001-03 seasons under his first watch, and, in his final year the first time around, his squad led Wheeling Central in the seventh inning in both sectional games, only to lose to the eventual state champion.
"I can confirm that Jeff is no longer the coach," said Grasser, who is in his first year at the school. "I can't talk about the whys and wherefores. I need to respect the school and the individual.
"I cannot say anything as to why he is no longer the coach. It's a personnel matter. I just cannot comment.
"I can confirm that we are moving forward with T.J. as the coach for the remainder of the year."
Brancazio, the school's golf coach, is beginning his fifth season as a member of the coaching staff.
Grasser did confirm the timing of Baire's departure.
"I can confirm that it was in the last couple of days," he said.
Baire's termination letter states:
"Due to your actions that have been inappropriate for your role as a member of the coaching staff at Madonna High School, your employment is terminated effective immediately.
"You are to have no further contact with the players or student-athletes in any type of coaching role, but as a parent of a Madonna student who is also active in athletics, including the baseball team, you will be permitted to participate in Madonna events as a parent.
"However, as a terminated employee, your words and actions must be appropriately supportive of Madonna High School for you to maintain that privilege of participation. Words and actions that could be associated with a disgruntled, terminated employee and that undermine the mission and functions of Madonna High School would lead to your loss of privilege to participate, even as a parent, in any function involving Madonna High School.
"I do thank you for your service to Catholic education."
Baire admitted to a driving under the influence arrest in the early morning hours of Dec. 10.
On Feb. 13, in Hancock County Magistrate court, the Weirton resident pleaded no contest to driving under the influence and was found guilty. The sentence of 30 days in jail was suspended and he was placed on six months unsupervised probation.
He was fined $200 and assessed court costs and a $30 probation fee. The charges of driving on a suspended license (administrative), driving left of center and speeding were dismissed at the prosecutor's request.
It became public on Feb. 26.
Baire firmly believes the DUI had everything to do with his dismissal.
"Yes it did, I'm going to assume," he said. "In the termination letter it's not stated that way, though it says 'inappropriate actions.' But what are the inappropriate actions? And how 'you' personally interpret them, will determine how you view the rest of the letter.
"And for that reason alone, the same detail used in the remainder of my termination letter should have been applied to stating why I was let go, specifically."
Baire also said he felt blindsided by the decision to terminate his employment with the school.
"Well, that's one way to say it," he remarked. "I was told on Feb. 28, that the meeting I had on Monday was a 'fact-finding mission' ordered by our diocese.
"However, three minutes into the meeting I was given this ultimatum, resign or be fired. No other options. To me, a 'fact-finding' usually involves some form of information gathering. An attempt to find evidence so you could make an educated evaluation of any situation, not just this one.
"That just simply did not happen. And still has yet to happen. I've not even been asked about the DUI at all by anyone from the school. I just can't understand why I'm being prevented from defending myself. And why there is such an attempt at keeping me from doing so."
Although Baire said he is deeply disappointed that he will not be around to coach the players in defense of their state championship, he said it goes far deeper than that.
"My concern is the overall well being of the boys - and they are hurting," Baire commented. "This group has been around me since T-ball. They have grown up with my son.
"These parents, in the program, now more than any time ever, know me. Today was the second day in a row that the players went to speak, as a team, to voice their feelings and opinions. One question comes to mind. Why such a rush to judgment? Without using due diligence, how was the decision made? Why, if it's that clear cut, is so much effort being made to quiet me?
"In the end, our program has been built on one main approach - be accountable for your actions, they have consequences, and learn from your mistakes.
"I completely accept whatever consequences that go with my action that night. I let down so many young men whom I'm a coach and role model to. What makes it even harder is that one of them also calls me 'dad.'"

Build Your Own 348-409 Valve Covers- Hand-fabbed For Chevy's Coolest Big-BlocksWritten by on August 6, 2008 Contributors: Mark Leal Hand-Fabbed For Chevy's Coolest Big-Blocks
Mark Leal wanted to dress up the 348 engine in his '59 Impala but couldn't find any contemporary-style aftermarket valve covers for 348/409 applications. So, decided he'd "whittle away" on some aluminum to see what he could build on his own.
He's been to a lot of Ron Covell metalworking workshops and felt confident enough to tackle the job. Not having a shop full of metal-forming tools, or Covell's talent at freehanding sheetmetal, Mark came up with a simple forming jig, to make the job a little simpler. The only tools required were a bandsaw, a router, and a TIG welder, along with simple handtools. The only special skill is being able to weld aluminum with an acetylene torch. Mark photographed the process, step by step, to share his idea with other 348/409 Chevy owners. Follow along.
Aluminum Welding
While the valve covers seen here were TIG-welded, it's possible to MIG-weld aluminum with the right equipment. It may be possible to convert your MIG welder with different shielding gas (100 percent argon is required for aluminum) and accessories, though purchasing a spool gun from Miller is by far the easiest way we've seen of late. However, this will obviously depend on you owning or considering purchasing a Miller welder! We'll show these two options further on, but let's take a look at the differences between aluminum and steel, and why the former is considerably harder to weld, whether by MIG or TIG.
Unlike steel, aluminum will not tolerate paint, oxidation, grease, or other contaminants when being welded. Correct surface preparation is vital to remove lubricants or dirt, and can be tackled using solvents. Removing any oxides is of equal importance after degreasing. When exposed to air, aluminum forms a hard oxide layer on its surface. The melting point of this layer is roughly three times that of aluminum-3,700 degrees Fahrenheit compared to 1,200 degrees-and this is why the oxide layer must be removed prior to welding, using a stainless steel wire brush. It's important to use a brush that will only ever be used to clean aluminum, to keep from contaminating the weld site.
You should also be aware of the specific alloy you wish to weld, as the quality of the finished weld will be enhanced by using a filler wire recommended for that particular alloy. ER4043 and ER5356 are the most readily available from local welding supply houses, and they come in various size spools, just as regular filler wire does for welding steel. ER4043 contains silicone, while ER5356 has magnesium content. This allows the latter to have a faster melt-off rate. It is stiffer and easier to feed and is preferable in rigid, high-strength applications. ER4043 is popular, as it is adaptable to many aluminum base metals and is ideal for non-critical work. As with steel filler wire, different wire diameters are available, and owing to aluminum filler wire's soft nature, a thicker wire will feed more easily. The thickness of the material to be welded is a consideration, too, as it's difficult to weld aluminum thinner than 14-gauge without specialized equipment.
Miller Electric Mfg.Miller has introduced the Spoolmate 100 Series spool gun to be used in conjunction with its MIG welders in order to weld aluminum. Full details on how to use the spool gun can be found on Miller's Web site, but suffice it to say, there are some differences compared to a normal MIG welder when used to weld steel. It requires a 10- to 15-degree push travel angle to place the shielding gas in front of the bead, with the contact tip recessed 1/8-inch inside the nozzle. While you may be used to welding steel with 1/8- to 1/4-inch of wire sticking out from the contact tip, aluminum requires 3/8- to 1/21/2-inch. Large beads should be avoided on aluminum, and torch travel speed should be greater than when welding steel, since the material becomes heated, though heat needs to build up at first before travel speed is picked up.

The first step in making my valve covers was to build an accurate forming jig. I began by tracing the flange of a stock cover onto a piece of 1/2-inch steel plate. If you don't have a valve cover to work from, you could use a gasket, or create a pattern by taking a rubbing off the cylinder head using a piece of heavy paper. Pipe and pipe sections were cut and tack-welded to the 1/2-inch plate for use as forms for the various curves and corners of the jig. Note that the flange mounting holes have been drilled into the plate. A piece of 1/8-inch steel flat plate was then cut and welded to form the straight portions of the jig.Another piece of 1/8-inch steel plate was formed, cut, and welded to make up the two large curved portions of the jig. At this point, all welds were ground to provide a smooth surface for forming the aluminum. The flat and curved clamping blocks were made from steel.A piece of 0.090-inch-thick 3003-H14 aluminum was cut to form the curved side and two short ends of the cover, from one bolt recess area all the way around to the bolt recess area on the other end (arrows).The aluminum was annealed by applying a coat of carbon soot from an acetylene torch (acetylene only, no oxygen), then heated with a neutral flame (acetylene and oxygen) until the black soot was burned off. This process takes the temper out of the aluminum, softening it to be more easily shaped. Don't quench it, but let it air-dry and it will retain the desired shape without springing back.With the aluminum centered and clamped onto the center of the jig using the large flat clamping block (A), the curved clamping plates (B) were used to smoothly draw the aluminum into the curved portions of the jig. A hardwood block (not shown) and a dead-blow hammer were used to smoothly bend the aluminum around the large recess curves to the corner of the cover. One of the smaller flat clamping bars (C) was used to hold the aluminum in place as it was hammered around the end corners. The end portions were then clamped to the jig. The bolt recess areas were formed using 1-inch-od aluminum tubing with 1/8-inch wall thickness.On the opposite panel of the cover, the center bolt recess area was TIG-welded to 0.090-inch-thick 3003-H14 aluminum on each side, using 1100 aluminum rod. These flat pieces do not need to be annealed.The flat aluminum stock was cut to fit the corner bolt recess pieces and welded in place (A). The long piece of stock I started with was then bent around the corner and welded to the bolt recess pieces (B). This completed the forming of the valve-cover body. Gentle heat may be required on the entire aluminum body for easy removal from the jig.A test-fit on an engine ensured proper fit at this point. Notice how well the annealed aluminum retained its shape after removal from the jig.The jig was used to scribe the inside cut of the flange onto a piece of 1/4-inch-thick 6061-T6 aluminum. The outside cut line was scribed 1/2-inch outside of the inside line, and the flange was cut. Note the inside access cut at the lower left (arrow). Once the interior and exterior cuts were complete, the access cut was welded up and sanded smooth. Since the flange is under some stress when bolted to the head, 4043 aluminum rod was used on this weld.
The rough-cut flange was bolted to a master flange used as a template and cut to match on an overhead arm router (a regular router used in a table would work, as well). I used an ordinary wood-cutting carbide-tipped 1-inch flush-trim pattern bit with a ball-bearing follower. The outside was cut in the same manner. Hand bar soap was used as a lubricant to produce a smooth cut, so precise that the master and cut flange appeared to be a single unit.The flange was placed on the motor to test for proper fit and then clamped and tacked to the valve-cover body on the inside using 3/32 4043 aluminum rod.The valve-cover body was used to scribe the cut line for the top of the valve cover onto a sheet of 1/8-inch 3003-H14 aluminum. The tops were carefully cut to fit snuggly inside the valve covers' bodies.Approximately one half of the top thickness was left exposed above the top of the body to provide a good lip for the fillet weld. The top was tacked in place to ensure flatness, then welded with 3/32 1100 aluminum rod.After completing the weld, the top was sanded to provide a smooth surface for the base of the router to ride on. An ordinary router with a woodworking carbide-tipped 5/32-radius round-over bit was used to cut a uniform radius where the top and the sides meet. Again, hand bar soap was used as a lubricant.

Release from Karen hiller
Karen Hiller issued the following statement in announcing today that she is running for reelection to the Topeka City Council.
"Today I announce that I am running for reelection to the City Council from my own neighborhood in Topeka because strong neighborhoods are so important to what makes this city great.
"It has been an honor and a pleasure to serve my neighbors and fellow citizens of Topeka for the past four years. I have worked hard every day to make this city stronger by working effectively with others. Others include fellow council members, city business and government leaders and most important the people that I represent.
"My priorities for these four years have been reducing crime in our neighborhoods, attracting new jobs for our city, addressing the neglected conditions of our streets, water lines and sewers, and improving the performance and atmosphere of city council. I am proud to report improvement in all four areas. I promise, if I am reelected, to work just as hard to build on the progress we have already made.
"Fighting Crime – The tragedy of December 16 when our city lost two fine police officers cannot be ignored, and everything must be done to see that it never happens again. But let's not ignore that progress is being made in fighting crime. The Police Department reports that Property Crime and Violent crime together are actually 9% lower than a year ago, which they credit to the community getting more involved in protecting themselves and their property. That is good news, but we want to do better than that. I was proud to be part of the effort to put significant new dollars into our police budget this last summer. This will mean more police on the streets, more patrol cars in our neighborhoods, better training for our force, and better equipment for our officers.
"I have also strongly supported the city's investment in helping neighborhoods organize themselves and work better with the police to reduce crime in their areas.
"These are real steps to a safer Topeka.
"Creating Jobs - I have strongly supported the Neighborhood Revitalization Program that provides tax breaks for small businesses to help them expand by building new buildings or expanding existing structures in special areas of our city.
"The Chamber of Commerce reports that we have held our own with jobs through this economic downturn. That is good news, but we want to do better. I have championed the partnerships that the city has created with private business and local schools to produce training programs for 21st century jobs - jobs like robotics - through Highland Park High School and Washburn Tech. These programs match the needs of our growing businesses and provide real opportunities for our youth.
"I am especially proud of the leadership role I have played in helping local businesses access programs from city, state and federal government that can help them grow. This past fall, not only were we able to assemble a list for the first time ever of all available programs and grants that local businesses could use to help them grow, but we also convened a forum of more than 70 businesses to help share that information with each other.
"Streets, water lines and sewers - Topeka is paying the price of having neglected too long to establish a long-term plan to upgrade or replace infrastructure that is many cases is more than 100 years old. Like my neighbors, I want to have pot holes filled today and have supported the funding to make that happen, but what the city really needs (and I support) is the creation of a master plan for maintenance and improvement of our water and sewer infrastructure and getting street repairs and improvements back into the annual city operating budget. I am optimistic we can get this done going forward.
"A City Council that is more effective, a new energy in our city - Citizens report that the Council improved immediately after our "class of 2009" was sworn in, and I have been proud to have been part of that change. It has created a more effective council and has provided our citizens with more informed decision-making, better communication, and transparency.
"There has also been a new energy in our city over the past four years that is invaluable in keeping our best and brightest from moving away and attracting new business. For instance, it was fun to support the Google project, and rewarding work to provide active support to downtown revitalization planning, the new NOTO art district, and our Bikeways plan.
"The next four years promise to be challenging, but I love what I do, and I am excited about where we are going. It has been an honor to serve. I look forward to another, even better, four years of service to our city."

The 5 Most Embarrassing Architectural Failures Ever
Doctors, lawyers, scientists and architects are all people we assume at least sort of know what they're doing. And for good reason: If a barista gets a job that he or she is patently unqualified for, you might get too much mocha syrup in your frappe. But if, say, an architect has an off day, your apartment could fold in on itself the next time you close your bedroom and kitchen windows at the same time. But just because we expect perfection from them, that doesn't mean they always live up to it. Even architects, foremen and chief engineers come in to work hungover once in a while, and that's when we get failures like these.
#5. Lotus Riverside Collapses Because of Rain
Via Telegraph
The Lotus Riverside building complex in Shanghai was a complex of 11 buildings by the side of a river. Imagine that. By June of 2009, the project was nearing completion, with most of the flats already sold off. Then the workers showed up one morning to find that one of the buildings had fallen flat over on its side, completely intact. It was like a giant toddler came by and just smacked it over for the simple thrill of the destruction.
Via Multifamilyinvestor.com
If it had happened in Japan, we would have totally believed that and moved on.
The Embarrassing Failure:
It was all due to an underground parking garage, some rain and a terminal case of made in China.
The building itself was OK -- in fact, considering how well it held together after it "collapsed," we'll go out on a limb and say that it was pretty great -- but problems were all around and, more specifically, beneath it. When workers began construction on an underground parking garage next to the structure, they piled all the dirt from that into a landfill beside a nearby creek. Then they all turned on their jackhammers when a bevy of other engineers came by and repeatedly ignored their warnings about how bad of an idea it is to dam up a river right next to a new construction project. To the surprise of, like, maybe one guy who never got to play in mud puddles as a kid, the creek's banks collapsed and flooded the area. So when it rained soon afterward, the building was basically toast. Its foundations gave way, narrowly missing the neighboring structures, and just barely avoiding kicking off the world's most terrifying domino display.

#4. The Walt Disney Concert Hall Shoots Heat Rays

Frank Gehry is one of the most prolific architects of all time. His designs range from wavy and crazy-looking to ... well, just wavy and crazy-looking.
Via Thearttree.me
Back in college, they called him "Ol' Wavy Building Guy." They weren't very good with nicknames.
Naturally, really thinking outside the box while building your giant boxes is going to lead to some problems, some of which have historically included a building that constantly dumps snow onto passing pedestrians, one that eats women's high heels and one that accidentally fires heat rays at anything nearby.
Via Britannica.com
This will be the last great fortress of man when the Ant Wars come.
The Embarrassing Failure:
As you can tell from the above photo, the building in question is very shiny, and while shiny things are all sorts of pretty (by virtue of their shininess), they also tend to reflect light. If you concentrate that light onto a single area and angle it just right, you get a crude laser. If you're a comic book supervillain, you might use that knowledge to burn your name into the moon. If you're the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, you set your sights a little lower: maybe just heat up some neighboring condos, like the Promenade Towers, by 15 degrees or so. Or nearly blind some drivers at nearby traffic lights. Or, hey -- just see how hot you can get that sidewalk (the answer is a ridiculous 140 degrees). Unluckily for humanity, Frank Gehry gave a building an uncontrollable death ray. But luckily for us, it was more on the terror level of a kid with a magnifying glass than Chairface Chippendale.
Via Toucheandchange.com
And by "us" we mean "the people who have never been near it."
The problem has since been fixed, when workers sandblasted the outside of the trouble areas in order to reduce glare. But hey, if you really want to stay in a building capable of hating you, there's always that one in Las Vegas that shoots a heat ray into its own pool.

#3. Tropicana Field
Via Wikipedia
The designers of Tropicana Field, home to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, have a problem: Their building is screwing with the games they want to play inside of it. But strangely, the problem isn't with the actual field. It's on the ceiling. Or more specifically, what is hanging from it.
Via Wikipedia
We're not making a "bats" joke here. We're above that.
The Embarrassing Failure:
For any communists, aliens or alien communists that happen to be reading, the primary mechanic by which the sport of baseball works is the ability to hit the ball as high and far as you can. Everything else in the game is built around that very, very simple fact. So it's kind of important that you don't play it in a place with a lot of airborne obstacles, like a forest, a hot air balloon festival, a flock of furious birds or Tropicana Field.
Via Wikipedia
"Just ... tell everyone to bunt. Problem solved."
That's because there are four catwalks that hang directly over the outfield there. Countless hits that should have rightfully been home runs have instead just thudded off a support structure or landed on a catwalk and rolled off into the waiting glove of an opposing player. And that's if they ever come down at all. Oh, and because the lights are up there, too, the catwalks also occasionally rain superheated glass down on the players below. But hey, we all played with obstacles as kids: the fence posts out past third base, those odd holes in the infield or the occasional ball-eating mastiff that ultimately brought us all together and taught us a little something about friendship.
When all is said and done, the catwalks really lend a kind of childlike charm to the stadium, which we guess is a fair exchange for costing the Devil Rays the pennant that one time.

I recently had an exchange of correspondence with a piercer who asked some interesting questions:
I have been piercing for 10 years now in a shop where my husband is the awesome tattoo artist. I just want to be yet another one to thank you for all of your tireless dedication to this industry. I just had a quick question about surface piercings done with polytetrafluoroethylene. At first when these surface piercings became the thing to do around here, I would perform them with the traditional bars for hips, clavicals, Madisons-you name it. I stuck them all with bars. Now this new material seems so much better for healing and does not leave the same scars that the bars do. I just wanted to get your opinion on it. Which is better, the polytetrafluoroethylene or the traditional surface bars?
The easiest, safest, most effective piercing care product ever!
GREAT for healing and troubled piercings.

BTW, what does PD stand for? It's obviously not "principal dancer"

Dances is close to being a perfect ballet, a just-right combination of music, movement, concept, and execution. It heralded the beginnings of the '70s dance boom and marked the return of Jerome Robbins to ballet from the Broadway stage. And it astonished critics with its seamless combination of ballet technique and pedestrian movement—it was the most modest, natural-looking thing anyone had seen on a ballet stage up till then. And it remains so today.

New to "Dances at a Gathering" was Ariana Lallone as Girl in Green. I would rather have seen her in Pink or Mauve: she is missing the shameless gene without which Girl in Green is too credible and not enough of a pest, to use sandik's great description. Also dancing in the ballet for the first time this season was Kiyon Gaines as Boy in Brick. I don't think I noticed before how perfectly pointed his feet are: in the jumping-in-place section in the pas de deux with Girl in Apricot, a delightful Carrie Imler (also debuting in the role), it was as if there were sparks coming out of his toes, the line was so extended.
There were three performances that really stood out for me tonight.
Sometime in tutu ballets Rachel Foster fades for me, even tonight in "Symphony in C" Fourth Movement, in which her partner was James Moore, who gave a very powerful and striking performance, although she hit the infamous complex pirouette dead on with complete clarity and control. In more modern roles, she dances about a foot taller than she is, and she and Moore have fantastic chemistry. In "After the Rain" there is a lot of legato, and that's the quality that all three women I'd seen before have stressed, although with different emotional tone, but Foster did something more: she added a tension and an elastic momentum, pushing forward and snapping back that gave it another level of pathos and a bigger sense of the shape of the movement. It was a gorgeous performance -- a revelation -- and she's cast for it again for the Sunday matinee. This is a must-see.
There was just the smallest bit more ease tonight in Miranda Weese's performance of Girl in Pink in "Dances at a Gathering", and that had the effect of magnifying her her movement. There was so much charm, wit, and fellowship in her interpretation -- her short slow waltz with her fellow "sister", Sarah Ricard Orza as Girl in Blue was very touching -- but the best part was the warmth and generosity of her dancing. When she first announced that she was moving to join PNB, zerbinetta paid tribute to her and described her as womanly, and that is a perfect description. This was a great, grown-up performance, one of the highlights of this season.
Maria Chapman also danced Second Movement of "Symphony in C" with more ease than in her first go last week and with the same amplification of effect, for an even lovelier performance. Despite the treacherous balance in the pas de deux, the crucible is in the Fourth Movement, when all of the ballerinas are in a row and dancing in unison: it is that point at which the naked comparison happens. This evening, with Kaori Nakamura on one side and Carrie Imler on the other, Chapman took her rightful place between them.

What a test by fire. If the word "perfect" ought ever to be applied to a dancers technique, two that would immediately jump into my mind would be Kaori Nakamura and Carrie Imler (among PNB dancers). That's quite a compliment you just paid to Maria.
This evening, with Kaori Nakamura on one side and Carrie Imler on the other, Chapman took her rightful place between them.
P.S. I couldn't go last night due to an "important" meeting I had to attend. Your review makes me realize how poor my judgment was when I made that choice .

hits the nail on the head. The few times I've had to see her, she's read as very mature to me -- as if she's already tried all the other options and found the one that works for her. I'll be sorry to see that leave.

Well done!
Well, it took me two viewings to like Dances at a Gathering........
I can't exactly say why I loved it from the get go, but I can easily imagine that I might not have liked it had I seen it at a different point in my life.
I ended up seeing it 4 times. I loved it every time. What surprised me is that the piece seemed shorter every time I saw it! Each time I found myself saying to myself, "Damn, it's almost over already". I would have guessed it would have seemed longer each time. Maybe that's one sign of a masterpiece (at least when masterfully danced -- as it was by PNB).

Both Lallone's (Green) and Imler's (Apricot) performances were bigger than their first for these roles. For Lallone, it meant that the humor in the Waltz Walk was crisper, and for Imler, I wasn't sure this was possible. Sometimes the debut performance has all of the energy, and the second is more subdued, but in this ballet, every cast, even the one that had the advantage of the stage dress rehearsal, looked bigger and stronger in the second (and subsequent) performances.
Just as I was about to jettison the second solo for Boy in Brown (or give it to Boy in Brick), James Moore gave one of the best performances of it that I've seen in almost three decades, especially in the dynamic weight and direction changes, giving them weight and power. (My first Boys in Brown were Helgi Tomasson and Ib Andersen; Moore is in very good company.)
Louise Nadeau was luminous in "After the Rain Pas de Deux". In the Q&A afterwards, Peter Boal said that Nadeau spent the last rep in "business as usual" mode, but that the fact of her retirement was just starting to hit.
Kaori Nakamura danced with crystalline simplicity leading the First Movement of "Symphony in C". Even towards the end of the run there were debuts, with Lindsi Dec and Kiyon Gaines dancing Third Movement. (Dec must have done at least four roles in the ballet; I'm not sure how she kept it all straight.) It was a fine debut for both. Dec looked cautious in the killer repeat opening segment. This may have been due partly to the very hard schedule she had and partly in doing the blocking on the stage for the first time. We had been privileged to see Imler and Nakamura in the same part earlier in the run, and what distinguishes these two from many dancers I've seen in the role are their calm, articulated upper bodies and the precise focus of their head and eyes. In the inevitable comparisons, Dec didn't have these qualities in the opening repeat, but by the final section, she did. I look forward to seeing them again the next time the ballet is presented.
Gaines and Dec were the Q&A guests. Friends offstage, they are a delight together, energetic and funny, goading each other on to tell stories. For example, Dec and Lesley Rausch, and Gaines and David (?) Schneider were called into the office the day they were offered contracts. Each pair was delighted that the other pair was there, but waiting for Francia Russell, they all squished onto a seat built for two, with Russell likening them to sardines. Gaines had requested "Symphony in C" Third Movement, but didn't have a partner; Dec, who had a busy schedule, found herself on the rehearsal schedule again, wondering why.
Gaines also teased Dec until she told the story of her engagement to Karel Cruz. Cruz had arranged a trip for the two of them to Europe, visiting childhood friends he hadn't seen in years and exploring the countries, when after a long walking day, Dec resisted going out to dinner, then dressing up. Of course, this was The Dinner, but even after he brought up marriage, she didn't catch on until he pulled out the ring box. They'll be married this summer: congratulations to them both!
I was cleaning out my Inbox when I found an email from PNB that I had missed, with Peter Boal's comments about the Director's Choice program:
Here are a few facts about this rep that you may find interesting:
In Dances at a Gathering, The Brick boy usually learns the Purple boy's part in the grand waltz because the Purple boy's back usually goes out.
Originally, Violette Verdy (the Green girl) only danced one two-minute solo and the finale. Her first entrance comes thirty-five minutes into the ballet. Her part was later expanded to include the "Walk Waltz."
Dances at a Gathering took two years to choreograph. At the end of the two years, most of the cast was requesting to be taken out of the ballet.
In the two boys' dance, Robbins likened the dancers to a great dane and a terrier.
After the Rain pas de deux was Christopher Wheeldon's last creation in honor of the great partnership of New York City Ballet dancers Wendy Whelan and Jock Soto.
This was Chris's first work that didn't have the ballerina in pointe shoes.
Georges Bizet composed his Symphony in C when he was 17 years old. It was lost for many years. When found, Stravinsky recommended the music to Balanchine, who choreographed it for the Paris Opera Ballet when he was guest ballet master there in 1947.
Francia Russell has been staging Symphony in C since 1964, when she first began staging ballets for Balanchine
New York City Ballet performed Symphony in C the day Balanchine died, April 30, 1983. There wasn't a dry eye in the house when Suzanne Farrell and Peter Martins danced the second movement.
Hardly alone, I missed Carla Korbes in this rep. She suffered a rib injury during a lift in the Dress Rehearsal of "Dances at a Gathering", and I watched for lifts in the last performance. I knew before there were a lot of them in "Dances", but I don't know how any of the women survived rehearsals and performances, with the exception of Girl in Green, who isn't lifted. Add in Boal's fact above about Boy in Purple, and I wonder if/how much Robbins thought about the dancers bodies when choreographing.
The day Balanchine died, early in the morning, not all of the audience were aware at the matinee until Lincoln Kirstein's curtain announcement. He specifically said there wouldn't be a program change; I remember Robbins' "Mother Goose", Balanchine's "Kammermusik No. 2", and there was a third, non-Balanchine. (Maybe Robbins' "Four Seasons"?). By the evening performance, the news had reached much of the audience; it was like a wake, a combination of shock, mourning, and gathering. Martins and Farrell weren't the original cast in "Symphony in C" -- Martins had cut down the number of his performances by then -- but it was moving and fitting that they danced in Balanchine's memory that night, and Boal's description was apt.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. 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.

THREE TEAMS COMPETE — Three teams of Weir High School students competed Thursday in the second-annual Carter G. Woodson Black History Bowl. The competition, which launched at the high school in 2012, is organized by the West Virginia All Black Schools Sports and Academic Hall of Fame. -- Craig Howell
The Hall of Fame organized the history bowl, launching it in 2012 with a competition at Weir High School.
"Next year, we hope to have it county wide," she said, noting her ultimate goal would be to have a state competition and be able to present scholarships to the winning teams.
This year's winning team was the I Have a Dream Team, captained by Tyler Conrad, with Ontasia Petteway, Dominique Gilbert, Matt Tenaglio, Katarina Alatis and Shane Spencer.
They earned a total score of 80 points.
Other teams were Team Soul Force - which finished with 70 points - comprised of captain Carl Howard, Ben Suter, Ashlee Vandruff, Kristen Tuell, Bryan Phillips and Alexis Virtue; and Freedom Riders - with 40 points - the members of which were captain Kristen Mastrantoni, Michael Curtis, Jamie Kikilidis, Josh Groves, Stephen White, and Courtney Schexnayder.
Weir High School Principal Dan Enich congratulated all of the participating students and their teachers, noting he too would like to see the competition continue and grow.

Learn how to design a great user experience for SharePoint 2010. As a web developer, you will learn simple techniques for branding your SharePoint web sites and Master Pages using CSS3 and HTML5. Also see how to easily transition from basic to advanced techniques to quickly add value to your web designs. Understand how to extend your designs into IE9 and Silverlight to provide the best end to end experiences.
Oops, something didn't work.
Unfortunately I can't switch my SP2010 site out of IE8 compatibility mode because it breaks the 'OK' button when submitting a new list item in an AJAX dialog. Tried to debug it but I'd have to muck about with web.configs etc, gets very messy. Shame, really. I was looking forward to exploiting IE9+HTML5 on our intranet.
It's really annoying that basically all the new features I was expecting to exploit in SP2010: Social tagging of external sites, HTML5 compat, cross-browser compat, sandboxes, etc - are all subtly broken. it seems like large elements of SP2010 are really just SP2007 broken differently...
Where can I find all these shiny-looking templates like the coffee one? :)
Hi Paul Stubbs,
I'm upgrading my company's intranet site and it's in need of a major UI overhaul. Several of the templates that you showed in the branding portion of your presentation looked very interesting. You mentioned that the templates would be available soon; can you provide a more specific timeframe?

I'm always happy to see pictures of India, even tho' I dont know this region at all. But you have encased all of it, mountains,sky, rivulets, the car, and those very colorful kids, into a shot worth a heap of interest. Like they have looking through those windows. j.e.s.........
I am curious about them too!
Beautiful place
Ah! This work touches the very deep emotion of the people who live in the cities with a inalterable nostalgia ot the innocence. Admirable! ^ ^
a curious picture with colourful children and a grey car.
the panorama is cold, melancholic, wild but beautiful. the colorful dresses of the children makes such a joy contrast with the green shade of the panorama.
And their curiosity is the beautiful, innocent part of the photo.

Script to Configure VNC Server in Solaris 10 5/08 and Solaris Express (Nevada)
By Tim Thomas on Jul 06, 2008
I have been using a script for a while to configure VNC server displays for Solaris Express (Nevada) and I just found out that the same script works on Solaris 10 5/08 (Solaris 10 Update 5) as it includes Xvnc also.
I always do a full install of Solaris. If you don't, then maybe Xvnc will not be installed on your system. You can easily check:
# pkginfo | grep xvnc
system SUNWxvnc X11/VNC server
You run the below script once after OS installation is complete. It sets up two VNC displays and you connect to them with a VNC client as <hostname>:1 and <hostname>:2 . The second display is shared.
# config_Xvnc_s10+snv.sh
# Run this script once after OS installation is completed.
# This has been tested with Solaris 10 5/08 and Solaris Express (Nevada) b87 onwards
#add vnc display 1
svccfg -s application/x11/x11-server add display1
svccfg -s application/x11/x11-server:display1 addpg options application
svccfg -s application/x11/x11-server:display1 addpropvalue options/server astring: "/usr/X11/bin/Xvnc"
svccfg -s application/x11/x11-server:display1 addpropvalue options/server_args astring: '"SecurityTypes=None"'
#add vnc display 2, which is shared
svccfg -s application/x11/x11-server add display2
svccfg -s application/x11/x11-server:display2 addpg options application
svccfg -s application/x11/x11-server:display2 addpropvalue options/server astring: "/usr/X11/bin/Xvnc"
svccfg -s application/x11/x11-server:display2 addpropvalue options/server_args astring: '"SecurityTypes=None"'
svccfg -s application/x11/x11-server:display2 addpropvalue options/server_args astring: '"-alwaysshared"'
# Configure dtlogin to start it
if [ ! -d /etc/dt/config ] ; then
mkdir -p /etc/dt/config
if [ ! -f /etc/dt/config/Xservers ] ; then
cp /usr/dt/config/Xservers /etc/dt/config/Xservers
echo " :1 Local local_uid@none root /usr/X11/bin/Xserver :1" >> /etc/dt/config/Xservers
echo " :2 Local local_uid@none root /usr/X11/bin/Xserver :2" >> /etc/dt/config/Xservers

The displays persist when you disconnect the VNC client, so you can come back to a session at later time and all the windows and applications will be as you left them. Any jobs you kicked off will have continued to run.
You can get VNC client software from http://www.realvnc.com. There is a Free Edition and an enhanced Personal Edition for which you need a license.
If you have an older release of Solaris 10 than 5/08 then take a look at my earlier blog entry about how to configure VNC.

Perfect if you're starting your own medical dispensary. lol
These are actually great for baking - lots of recipes recommend measuring by weight because it's way more accurate for dry goods than volume measuring.
Am i missing something to get the freee shipping?
