The animal on the cover of Maintainable JavaScript is a Greek tortoise. Greek tortoises (Testudo graeca), also known as spur-thighed tortoises, are currently divided into at least 20 known subspecies, and as such vary greatly in size, weight, and color. They inhabit areas of North Africa, southern Europe, and southwest Asia, where they tend to prefer hot, arid regions; however, they can also be found on mountain steppes and seashore dunes. Their genetic richness makes their classification difficult and results largely from their crossbreeding; tortoises from different groups often mate, resulting in offspring of widely varying colors and sizes. For this reason, one of the best ways to identify a particular specimen is to know where it came from. Greek tortoises range in size from 8 inches to around 12 inches. The "spurs" on their thighs refer to the two small tubercles that sit on either side of the tail, and in general, their carapace, or upper shell, is oblong rectangular. They're also generally characterized by large scales on their front legs; flecks on the spine and rib plates, with a larger, dark fleck on the underside; and an upper shell that's undivided over the tail. Greek tortoises' mating instincts kick in immediately after they awake from hibernation. One or two weeks before egg-laying takes place, the tortoises move around their habitat—digging in, tasting, and smelling the dirt—in order to find the ideal egg-laying area. One or two days before laying eggs, the female Greek tortoise becomes aggressive in order to establish dominance in the community so that her eggs will not be disturbed. Their average lifespan is 50 years. The cover image is from Cassell's Natural History. The cover font is Adobe ITC Garamond.

About Me Developer
Comments about oreilly Maintainable JavaScript:
As a javascript noob, I thought it was a very helpful book to teach me some best practices for writing good code.I liked that they brought up having a javascript build system towards the end of the book, but I didn't find the how-to format of it very useful at this point.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great Resource -- And Not Just For Teams
By Steve
from Boulder, CO
Similar to the story Mr. Zakas tells, I began using JavaScript in the '90s as a minor component of web development, accreting knowledge as necessary without much systematic effort. In the last few years, that once minor component has become major, often THE major component of a web project, and my helter-skelter approach (I call it BF&I — "Brute Force & Ignorance") to writing JavaScript has started to reveal its deficiencies — and now this book has found its way into my hands at just the right time.There are three main sections here: "Style Guidelines" (e.g. spaces or tabs, naming conventions), "Programming Practices" (keep JavaScript out of CSS, keep CSS out of JavaScript, etc.), and "Automation" (he's in favor of it). In each section, Zakas recommends best practices, always providing thoughtful arguments for and against his recommendations and good alternatives to them.With his advice, judiciously employed, I've begun to square myself away, and although this hasn't made me a rock-star, it has increased my productivity and decreased my stress-level, and with a good set of standard practices building up I can spend more energy improving my programming skills rather than struggling with my work flow. Mr. Zakas writes "[T]hese techniques are really aimed at a multideveloper environment in which there are many engineers all working on the same code", and probably that is the best use, but even a solo freelancer, like myself, can find a lot of good counsel here — we're always, after all, collaborating at least with our future selves.The only criticism I have of the book is the singular use of Ant to describe automating build tools, a choice that makes the "Automation" section of the book less widely applicable, and mostly uninteresting to me, at least for the time being.Mr. Zakas has an engaging style, devoid of the forced goofiness that often plagues tech-writers. Confidant in his own abilities and respectful of the reader, he consistently provides valuable and enjoyable reading. I'll be reading this again, soon.

Think you don't need it? You're wrong.
By Annabel
from Austin, TX
About Me Designer, Developer
Nearly ten years ago, 37signals published a book called "Defensive Web Design." And I remember reading a bazillion reviews of it that said, basically, "This stuff is OBVIOUS."Oh yeah? Of course it's obvious, except you're not doing it! Nowhere is the Curse of Knowledge more obvious than in website UX design, where we just assume that of course people know how to [enter a phone number/make a purchase/search your site]. In truth, the people who dismissed the book out of hand are probably the ones who needed it most."Maintainable Javascript" reminds me a lot of that. It starts as basic as it gets, with code formatting--indentation, brace positioning, spaces around operators, stuff like that. It continues to principles like DRY, separation of concerns, and so forth. It's stuff we all know. And yet, it's so easy to find code being written right now that violates all of these principles... usually under the claim of "I'll go back and clean it up later" or "formatting doesn't matter" or "I gotta get this feature done by EOB today" or some other excuse. Everybody knows better, but sometimes, when you're just knocking stuff out in a hurry... Reading this book is rather like reading a book about the damage that unhealthy eating can do, after you've been on a diet for several months and have felt the benefits but started to backslide. For anyone but a rank beginner, it's a refresher, not new information. But we need that reminder of how important it is to maintain those good habits, or maybe to add a few to our toolbox.Two thumbs up for clear writing, good examples, and general usefulness.
Great for Front End Developers
By Atom Bomb Speedster
from London
The use of JavaScript has radically changed over the last decade or so, transforming from being used for simple form validation and eye-candy into an entire webapp development system within its own right. This book is ideal for people who know the language, but wish to apply it more professionally within commercial projects that are heavily dependent on good JavaScript. It is also ideal for contractors who need to know the most common practices for deployment and testing in a nutshell.

Re: How did you get the money for your first sailboat?
I saved tax returns and sold my Rolex. I had won the Rolex for being the #1 sales rep in the USA in 2008(the big ketchup co.) and although there is a lot of sentimental value, a sailboat would give me more overall pleasure. I wore the Rolex for 3 years then decided it was time to convert it into a sailboat.
Re: How did you get the money for your first sailboat?
I've been saving since I got out of college, and also immediately started working about 5 days after my last day of college. I just started sailing at the end of last summer, and wound up buying an old flying scot off a new friend. I'm now learning to sail, and saving for a bigger boat one day.
I find myself constantly looking at different boats on yachtworld etc. and learning about them here. Patience is key, as I'd like to pay cash for my big boat eventually.
Re: How did you get the money for your first sailboat?
read a lot of "boat maintenance books", then looked for a project boat with good hull and put in a lot of sweat equity.
Re: How did you get the money for your first sailboat?
It seems that, you are really a lucky one! And also you are a bright man!
Re: How did you get the money for your first sailboat?
Maybe my story is a bit unique?
I did very well in my career. Made partner then took over ownership, then set up my own firm. Yeah, we owned houses. I had one on the golf course, one in the country with property, even had one just off the ICW and parked my boat behind it. But all that said, my wife and I decided long before that we wanted to raise our kids on a sailboat.
My oldest has been aboard since 5 days old. He is now 12 about to turn 13. My youngest has never known anything but boats. We have always owned one and if we didn't live on it, spent a lot of time on it.
We made a lot of "sacrifices". I shut down my business at its height (and walked away from a LOT of money). I sold my cars. I sold my houses. I sold or gave away everything I owned except the boat and what is now in a 10x15 storage. We just left St Pete for the last time after many wonderful months there. I am now tryping this anchored off of Emerson Point near Bradenton, Fl. Tomorrow we explore the ruins on Egmont. The next day we sail down to Longboat Key. After a few days there, we go to Venice. After a few days there, we go to Cabbage Key, then Fort Myers Beach for a week, then the keys for a month or so before heading to the Bahamas.
My kids are 20 feet away from me and we spend every moment together. I see my wife all day, everyday. We do everything as a family and its not always perfect, but it is together. My kids are not raised by a system, we directly influence their lives and education, they know their parents, we toast sunsets with each other everyday and play catch or monopoly or something as a family EVERY night. Every night.
SOund like a wonderful life? Sound like a blessed life? It is. Don't let anyone fool you or tell you otherwise.
You don't have to have a 40 foot vessel to do this. You don't have to pay cash for a boat. You dont have to work for years and years and stick every penny in a jar. THe secret to doing this is (shhhh, read this quietly): Just do it.
Just do it and break away from the chains that keep you in the "system". Live aboard your boat. Find one that speaks to you and that you are very comfortable on. It doesn't take a lot of money, it takes a committment to yourself and your family. If your present job would not allow you to live aboard, get another job! What are you so afraid of? It is a job, not a life! Find one on the coast where you can live aboard. Focus on your goal and don't let anything get in your way to get there.
When you do, give us a shout. We may very well be anchored right beside you. We will have a coke or beer together. We will toast your sunset as another success story of someone who put their priorities in the right order.
PS Sunset off of Emerson...
Re: How did you get the money for your first sailboat?
I am a full time student too, and have any way to earn money!
Re: How did you get the money for your first sailboat?
The old fashioned way. I earned it. Paid cash money for boats 1, 2, and 3. Gave away 1 and 2 as an investment in some folks who wanted to sail. Watching them smile and enjoy it as a family pays off every time I see them. Good investment.
Re: How did you get the money for your first sailboat?
Perhaps this thread will provide some ideas. Although you should probably learn some more navigation and boat handling skills before attempting.
Re: How did you get the money for your first sailboat?
I sued an insurance company for my 2nd and then SSD back pay bought my 35' yawl that I live on. Each one I paid cash so very little overhead, if you are the type who uses credit you can get a "yacht mortgage" and yes the bankers will look at you like you invented a new word, but have them look it up anyway and they will find it.
Re: How did you get the money for your first sailboat?
i stole my sons inheritance and bought a derelict and kept working so eventually i earned a better boat...of course the marriage to the wrong jerk crimped it a tad, as he stole everything i owned , but i did come back better than i was before....just takes time and hard work. have fun.

Re: Sky City
Loving the details on this one!
Re: Whats under the bed?
I really like this one. It works surprisingly well on orange, and I really like the way the whole picture was done.
I was so impressed with this one last time around. Wish it had done better and I hope it gets something now. Crazy amazing work of art. Wants it.

Re: Secret Admirer
Man, I love the style you got on this one.
Re: Boldly Going(Resub)
This seriously has a fighting chance, it was submitted so late in its original derby.
What the hell where did this come from?! Awesome.
Re: Some Band!
As a person who does indeed listen to nothing but some band you've never heard of, I love this shirt.
Re: Salt and Pepper (resub)
Still lovin' this design.
Easily my favorite thing you've ever made DF. This one was WAAAY too overlooked. GMV and in if it prints.
This is a great design for many reasons. One neat thing that stands out to me is how the shirt color shows through to create the steampunk smoke. Brilliant, I say! Reeeally want, too!
Re: Calling John Henry!
An absolute must-print.
No more Double Takes without an Edgar print, ya hear me, Woot voters/editors?
Re: Birdplanes!
My favorite of yours in the derby Kris. It's like a still from a Miyazaki film, such wonderful characters and movement.
Re: Call me, Ishmael
Please please please.
Re: Steamworks Operatica V.2
It really is too bad you only have one design in the double-take, but fortunately it's one of your best to date. Love the steampunk dog.
So great. I need more than one of these to give as gifts, please. kthx.
Re: Some BBQ
The style on this is superb. Still loving it.

Re: Late Afternoon
I am really bummed about my design. I commented on this during the Pointillism Derby, but to recap: as it turns out, there appears to be an artifact in CorelDraw X4 in the way that it shows small blobs. If you look here, you will see some explanation by Bluchez a couple of posts down. What I think it amounts to is that there is some transparency built in to the way objects are displayed, and that appears to be enhanced when the objects are small, as in individual pointillism blobs. Accordingly, it seems that my shirt comp, and my detail image, are deceptively dim. When I take the objects that are the design, and duplicate them directly on top of each other 3 or 4 times, the image becomes much brighter, and I believe it better reflects what the ink will look like on the shirt.
Accordingly, I have made a copy of the shirt comp here in which the design is multiply copied onto itself, which I think looks more like how it would look on the shirt. Of course, the only way to know is for you all to vote it into at least 3rd place, so that we can see it printed. ;^)
Anyway, I am really bummed that the view which probably shows how the shirt will look is not up on top of this thread, where everyone will see it, but down here at the bottom, where most will never see it.
I don't see how I could have done anything differently on this issue, but it is an alert to others that this issue may be a problem for you if you use Corel Draw X4. I will from now layer multiple copies of my design on the background before making my submission images.
and if you like it better the way that it probably would print, then vote! vote like part of the Shirt Soviet!
Thanks for bothering to read this...now you can go back to voting for the designs in the fog. ;^)
Here's a link to a better resolution version.
Re: A Heavy Situation!
This is really good... I would buy.
Re: People of the Sun (final)

: ) Thanks Omni. Now that I own a yellow shirt and see how bright it is, I may have picked a different color for this one, but doesn't seem to matter nehoo.
This is so great.
Re: MoviEclipse
Oh yeah! I'd forgotten about this design. I loved it the first time around and I still love it. Good luck getting printed, I'd love to wear this.
amazing linework! I hope it wins!
Re: Werewolves Can't Dance
That cactus has a great headband.
Thanks for the comments and boatload of votes (so far!). I thought a bleh design detail might have helped this one slip through the cracks the first time, so I'm thrilled it's getting a bit of love early on.

I posted the price a few weeks ago but I didn't put it on the first post.
The price is $250 plus shipping. $17 for US and for international prices please PM me.
If you can't make payment by this week and still want the boots you must let me know by Saturday.
Payments are due. If collecting payments drags on to next week the run will be delay one more week. My paypal address is email@example.com and I take postal money order only. If sending money order, please PM for info.
Started PM'ing people on the list to make sure they are still in for the run and some people are still in, some people are only now letting me know that they want out and some people are asking for the price. I know that this project has taken a long time because of flaky bootmakers and that's why a couple months ago I said that if you wanted out the list just to let me know. And the price range has been posted on post #1 since the sign up thread started.
So what I am going to do is start a new sign up thread so that I don't order boots for people that forgot to let me know that they don't want them anymore. And so that I don't have to pm they rest of the people. If you were on the last list and don't want them anymore but forgot to tell me, don't worry. You don't have to let me know anymore.
They price range is still the same. $230-$265 for accurate Pit Crew replicas, Barc trooper and Galactic Marines boots
Please post here or PM me if you want to be on the list.
Thank you

text: I have been teaching English for almost two years now and would like to improve my stock of resources on my next trip to the UK. Can you recommend the best books/resources that a TEFL teacher can't live without? I use Murphy's grammar and most of the schools i teach in have their own coursebooks, but i feel i could do with some more reference stuff, teacher training and general activities including explaining and helping my students with pronunciation. I teach all ages and levels so some material which is adaptable would be great.

- Online TV is growing. The number of people watching online video will grow from 563 million in 2007 to 941 million in 2013 according to ABI research, echoed by NewTeeVee.
- People watch far more hours of TV from the couch than on the PC. According to Nielsen (see table above found via GigaOm), 142 hours/month for TV versus only 2.5 hours/month for Internet video. Online TV will sure grow, but still a long way to catch the habit of watching TV from the sofa. A habit that will surely remain for long duration shows, like movies or NBA games.
- TV devices connected to Internet will grow from 28 million in 2007 to 300 million in 2013 according to IMS research echoed by NewTeeVee.
- Some lucrative consumer segments are ready to pay for quality, speed, ease-of-use and exclusive content (e.g. Apple knows very well this segment). Some reports foresee penetrations as high as 20% and even 50% in developed countries urban areas.
- Online TV is social. YouTube social component is part of its success. Joost has just added Facebook Connect.
- P2P will keep growing, and that includes also a growth of licensed content relying on P2P or P4P networks, although illegal traffic will still dominate for some time.
IPTV Telcos should defend from the threats of Online TV by embracing it:
- Address facts 1 to 4 by providing a one-stop-shop to integrate Online TV within the IPTV Service. Provide a quick, easy-to-use way to enjoy Online TV from the couch, integrated into the IPTV Service. Why not embed iTunes, YouTube or Hulu channels?
- People will manage to have only two to three devices connected to the TV in the living-room. IPTV Telcos should position their set-top-box to be the box to connect the TV set to Internet without hassle (including legal P2P) and in the way defend from other boxes that could make IPTV replaceable later (e.g. Apple TV, PC2TV or HTPC units).
- Add Facebook Connect to IPTV, so that you can see who of your friends is watching the show, or browse what shows your friends are watching.
In other words, keep the boxes from "over-the-top" players away from the living-room for as long as possible. Differentiate from the "over-the-top" players with the unique experience that IPTV can provide on exclusive live HD content, like live concerts (expect music artists to do more of these, as recording sales drop) or sport events.

Cockroaches are both one of the most disgusting household pests and one of the hardest to eradicate. Cockroach control is necessary, as cockroaches have been linked to the spread of harmful bacteria like Salmonella.
Cockroaches can survive for up to three months without food, and therefore extreme methods of cockroach control often must be employed. Cockroaches may be difficult to eradicate due to their variety of reproductive strategies, and careful homeowners need to employ several methods of cockroach prevention.

Most of the hype in advance of today's Apple media event is rightly about a new iPad. Sarah Rotman Epps will post on her blog about the new iPad for consumer product strategists after the announcement. I'm focused on the published reports that Apple's Mobile Me service will be upgraded. I cited Mobile Me as an example of emerging personal cloud services in a July 2009 report, and I'm working on a follow-on report now. Mobile Me is Apple's horse in a contest with Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and others, to shift personal computing from being device-centric to user-centric, so that you and I don't need to think about which gadget has the apps or data that we want. The vision of personal cloud is that a combination of local apps, cached data, and cloud-based services will put the right information in the right device at the right time, whether on personal or work devices. The strengths of Mobile Me today are:

ARSC T3D Users' Newsletter 39, June 9, 1995
MPI on the T3D
From the Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre (EPCC), ARSC has received a copy of the formal release of CRI/EPCC MPI for the T3D and installed it at ARSC. There are now two implementations of MPI on the ARSC T3D:
- The MPICH version 0.1a from Argonne and Mississippi State described in ARSC T3D newsletter #34 (5/5/95)
- The EPCC/CRI initial release
$(PATH)/include/mpi.h # for C programs $(PATH)/include/mpif.h # for Fortran programsand a library:
$(PATH)/lib/libmpi.aCurrently at ARSC we have that PATH=/usr/local/examples/mpp/mpi and shortly it will change to /mpp. In the directory, /usr/local/examples/mpp/mpi/test there are some examples that run correctly on ARSC's T3D.
There is a postscript user's guide that I will e-mail to anyone interested in using the EPCC/CRI version of MPI. This user's guide includes instructions for compiling, running and debugging T3D programs to use MPI.
A description of the implementation of EPCC/CRI's MPI is provided in the article: "The MPI Message Passing Standard on the Cray T3D" by Lyndon J. Clark that appears in the 1994 Fall CUG Proceedings. This paper has descriptions of the MPI functions and examples of MPI code. There is a wealth of MPI information available at: http://www.mcs.anl.gov/mpi.
If any ARSC user has problems using MPI please contact Mike Ess and he will relay the problems to EPCC. Here is the list of known bugs that accompanies the EPCC/CRI release of MPI:
>This is the list of known problems in release 1.1a, the current major release. > > Release and Installation > > Problems with the release and installation mechanism: > > 1. The ./install script should make use of cpset rather than cp -p. > This means that it may be necessary to change the owner of the > installed files to bin in keeping with other installed libraries > and headers. > > 2. The confidence check makefile should specify the default include > path using -I/usr/include/mpp for Fortran compilation; it is not > required for C compilation. > > 3. The MPI library is not compiled with -hjump which means that a > problem relating to limits in the branching distance within an > executable can occur. This problem is only prevalent for very large > applications and the symptoms are clear; if this problem arises, > contact us to obtain a library that uses jumps instead of branches. > > MPI Conformance > > This MPI implementation aims to conform to the standard dated 5 May 1994. > Minor errata changes have been incorporated into the standard and are > under correction at present; the implementation will be upgraded when > these changes have stabilized. Known problems with conformance to the > pre-errata MPI standard: > > 1. The passing of Fortran CHARACTER arrays and strings as message data > to all relevant MPI calls is erroneous. This can cause an address > error fault or message/memory corruption. > > 2. The MPI Profiling Interface (Chapter 8 of the MPI standard) has not > been implemented: no name-shifted (PMPI_) calls are defined. > > 3. Completion of MPI_Status objects for immediate send requests is > incorrect. In particular MPI_Get_count will return zero, regardless > of the actual send count. > > 4. Passing MPI_BOTTOM to MPI_Pack and MPI_Unpack as the unpacked > message buffer address is erroneously interpreted as incorrect, > resulting in an MPI exception (of class MPI_ERR_ARG). > > 5. User buffer detach operation, MPI_Buffer_detach, always returns > null buffer address and zero size. > > 6. Group and communicator free operations, MPI_{Group,Comm}_free > erroneously fail to change the value of the {group, communicator} > handle passed as INOUT argument to MPI_{GROUP,COMM}_NULL. > > 7. Group comparison operator, MPI_Group_compare, erroneously gives > MPI_UNEQUAL for some group pairs that should be MPI_SIMILAR; also > gives MPI_CONGRUENT for different groups with the same members and > order, instead of MPI_IDENT. > > 8. Datatype count and element query, MPI_Get_{count,elements}, do not > give MPI_UNDEFINED as expected when the received message does not > contain an integral number of datatype (elements). > > 9. Explicit setting of lower-bound, using MPI_LB datatype, with > displacement greater than the displacement of previous elements of a > structure type is not effective: lower-bound is given as the > smallest previous displacement. > > Software Faults > > Known bugs in the MPI implementation: > > 1. There is a race condition within MPI_Scatter[v] which can result > in an address error. This is possible with a tight series of > scatters, followed by an MPI_Barrier, especially prevalent with > commuicators covering fewer processes than MPI_COMM_WORLD. > > 2. Resetting the error handler to either of the predefined handlers: > MPI_ERRORS_ARE_FATAL and MPI_ERRORS_RETURN is erroneous and causes > an address error during error handling for the subject communicator. > > 3. Constructing derived datatypes of zero overall size will result in > an internal MPI exception (class MPI_ERR_INTERN) within the > datatype constructor, or may cause a Floating Point Exception when > used in communications. > > 4. Passing MPI_OP_NULL, or a handle referring to a freed user > operator, to MPI global reduction calls (eg. MPI_Reduce) results > in an address error. > > 5. Use of MPI_Request_free on active communication requests can cause > an address error in subsequent communications calls. > > Software Limitations > > Known limitations in the MPI implementation: > > 1. The number of outstanding communications relating to any process > is limited. Once this limit is exceeded the application will abort > with an informative error message. This is not an MPI exception, > meaning that it is not handled by an attached user error handler > routine.
New T3D Batch PE LimitsAll active users of the ARSC T3D have had their batch PE limit increased to 128. This allows these users access to the 128-PE 8-hour queues that run on the weekends. If you need your T3D UDB limits changed please contact Mike Ess.
New Fortran CompilerAn upgrade version of the cf77 compiler is available on Denali with the path:
/mpp/bin/cft77new and /mpp/bin/cf77newFor the default versions we have:
/mpp/bin/cf77 -V Cray CF77_M Version 220.127.116.11 (6.59) 05/25/95 13:36:39 Cray GPP_M Version 22.214.171.124 (6.16) 05/25/95 13:36:39 Cray CFT77_M Version 126.96.36.199 (227918) 05/25/95 13:36:39and for this new version:
/mpp/bin/cf77new -V Cray CF77_M Version 18.104.22.168 (6.59) 05/25/95 13:37:26 Cray GPP_M Version 188.8.131.52 (6.16) 05/25/95 13:37:26 Cray CFT77_M Version 184.108.40.206 (259228) 05/25/95 13:37:27This new compiler fixes a potential race condition in shared memory accesses and also fixes an inlining problem with the F90 intrinsics, MINLOC and MAXLOC.
I have completed my testing of this compiler and it will become the default on June 20. I encourage users to try this compiler before it becomes the default.
List of Differences Between T3D and Y-MPThe current list of differences between the T3D and the Y-MP is:
- Data type sizes are not the same (Newsletter #5)

- There is no GETENV on the T3D (Newsletter #8)
- Missing routine SMACH on T3D (Newsletter #9)
- Different Arithmetics (Newsletter #9)
- Different clock granularities for gettimeofday (Newsletter #11)
- Restrictions on record length for direct I/O files (Newsletter #19)
- Implied DO loop is not "vectorized" on the T3D (Newsletter #20)
- Missing Linpack and Eispack routines in libsci (Newsletter #25)
- F90 manual for Y-MP, no manual for T3D (Newsletter #31)
- RANF() and its manpage differ between machines (Newsletter #37)

My Ideal Bookshelf was recently published. We have it in our collection, although it is checked out and I haven't yet seen it. I have read about it, however.
The premise is that the books we keep, let alone read, say a lot about who we are and how we see ourselves. The author asked dozens of cultural figures – authors, filmmakers, chefs, architects – to select a small bookshelf worth of books to represent themselves.
What books would you select if you had been asked? I'm still pondering this for myself. As I look around my bookshelves at home, I see favorite novels, biographies of presidents especially Lincoln, memoirs by women, some autographed children's books. I'm not sure these are the ones I would select to say who I am but for various reasons and at various times, those are the books I have chosen to have on my shelves.
What's on your shelf that says who you are? If you can't select the entire shelf, how about one title?

I'm in the process of painting my MLC in ROTJ colors. I did the blue part using 3 different paints (Sail Blue misted with Sky Blue and Metallic Blue) and it turned out great. I then taped off the pack and did the yellow/orange parts. But when I peeled the tape up some of the blue paint came off with it.
I wanted to add in that I had laid down a metallic chrome undercoat. I was having problems with the paint not sticking to it due to the paint dust. I resolved it by putting on 2 or 3 coats of the clear coat.
I relatively new to these techniques so I'm probably just making a noob error. I was thinking of laying a clear coat over the blue this time to keep it from peeling up. Anything other suggestions, tips or admonishments are welcome.

NH Boy Scouts to honor Dupreys of Concord, Easter Seals
February 11. 2014 6:12PM
The Concord couple will be honored as distinguished individuals while Easter Seals New Hampshire will be recognized as the distinguished corporate/non-profit citizen. The fundraising event is scheduled for the evening of June 17 at the Radisson/Center of New Hampshire in Manchester.
Both Dupreys have extensive records of service to civic and charitable organizations across New Hampshire.
Easter Seals of New Hampshire, based in Manchester, provides services to help people with disabilities or special needs and their families to have equal opportunities in their communities. Easter Seals employs and contracts with more than 1,400 people at 22 locations throughout the state.
He said the money raised — the fundraising goal is $160,000 — will benefit and enrich programs offered to more than 11,000 Scouts throughout the state.
Since its inception in 1929, the Daniel Webster Council has served thousands of youth in building character, citizenship, and personal fitness through Cub Scout, Boy Scout and Explorer post. In 2013, the council served 11,350 youth throughout New Hampshire in 509 chartered groups.

I'm dialing in my 355 trying to get the most out of it. My last thread I asked about if I could run a small blower with 10:5 compression thats what I was told I had. I just bought a compression gauge and tested all the cylinders. My results vary from 160 - 170 is this an accurate way of determining my compression ratio? If my compression turns out to be more like 9:5 how much boost my I be able to run?
Also I have another holley question. I just bought a vacuum gauge and a air fuel mixture gauge with an 02 sensor. Should I tune my mixture screws to the highest vacuum or should I tune it with the air fuel mixture gauge. Any advice is appreciated and thanks for your time
If you were to have an actual 9.5:1 engine you could probably run 4psi of boost maybe 6 with forged pistons. Go here and look at the recommendations most companies will tell you that an "effective" ration should not exceed 12.4:1 on pump gas. This is a little conservative and will depend on many other things. If you are seriously thinking about putting a blower on it and you have forged pistons decent rods/bolts and crank. If you have 64cc heads, I would swap them out for a set of 76cc heads and lower the compression to a blower friendly level. A blower is a big investment, you might as well make the most of it if you are going to bolt it on. This means a compression level of 8:1 - 8.5:1 (maybe slightly higher).
Besides what camaroman7d said, you're measuring cranking pressures. They are different then compression ratio and is not a valid way to determine CR. Cranking pressure have an awful lot to do with cam timing. You could have a 7.5 CR motor make higher cranking compression then a 11:1 motor! All cam timing. It's also important to put 2 & 2 together and realize that with a mild cam timing that a 7.5 motor uses to create high cranking pressure would be disasterous in a motor with 11:1. You'd create stratospheric pressures that would diesel the motor. Conversly is true also, meaning a cam intended for a 11:1 motor would cause such low cranking pressures that the car would be even more of a dog on low end. This is why cam manufacturers tell you what kinda mechanical ratios to run on their cams.
Huskinhano, All VERY good points that most people don't understand or consider.
Idle feed restrictions are somewhat of a compromise on Holleys, as I've found out. Manufacture recommendations of 1/2 - 1 1/2 turns on the idle screws are pretty good to follow. I use both idle sound and vacuum to set mine. Ideally you want to have an air fuel ratio of 15 or 16:1 at idle and low load (cruising). At full throttle, full load, ignition advance all in, you want about 12:1 for max performance without pinging, or surging. That O2 sensor is actually better for finding your WOT jetting than anything else. I have had some luck canibalizing several carbs of different sizes to get a combo that works good throughout the range. I have about 20 parts carbs laying around my shop. This requires a lot of time patience and a good idea of where, in the power curve, your mixture needs improvement. Use your O2 sensor to get the WOT jetting right and adjust bleed screws by vacuum gauge and ear.
Good Luck

text: Most impressive thing for me so far is the defense. This new found enthusiasm to challenge every shot and make every play difficult. Think about it, they did not play this way right out of the gate last season. I wonder if Curry has something to do with it? Yes indeed. Pistons blew out 2 playoff type teams in a back-back on the road. And without Rip, Stucky and Amir.

Hazardous tree removal project under way on local highways
August 18, 2012
The U.S. Forest Service and Colorado Department of Transportation are well under way with a tree removal project that will continue through September.
Motorists can expect to see crews working along Highway 40 over Berthoud Pass, Interstate 70 and Highway 125.
No roads will be closed to public operations, but lane closures and temporary delays for public safety are possible.
Cutting began along the south sides of the I-70 corridor for 31 miles in July, the work is in the final stages of completion.
Continuing through the first week in September, cutting along U.S. 40 near Empire, tree removal is scheduled for 27 miles toward Winter Park.
Tree removal along Hwy. 125 will begin in September between Stillwater Pass Road and Willow Creek Pass and continue for 14 miles, ending near Rand.
The trees present along these highways pose a threat to public safety as they weaken over time and may fall without warning along busy transportation routes, said Carl Wettstien, incident commander of bark beetle for the Forest Service.
"Public safety is our top priority," Wettstien said. "In addition to reducing the risk of falling trees that may damage critical infrastructure, ensuring these major transportation corridors are clear of dead trees is certainly critical to keeping people safe and traffic flowing."
Most of the work will be on national forest system lands within the CDOT right-of-way in the counties of Summit, Grand, Eagle, Clear Creek and Jackson located in the Arapaho-Roosevelt, Routt and White River national forests.
"With so many dead trees near highways, crews will be working in the right-of-ways, but will try to keep lane closures to a minimum," said David Eller, CDOT regional transportation director. "We ask motorists to drive slowly and carefully through the work zones and we thank them for their patience since this work is essential to public safety."
Motorists should expect to see piles of debris close to right-of-ways including trunks, tree-tops and limbs piled on project sites in addition to stacks of log decks.
Woods products removed will be used by the wood products industry.

This trip was the perfect balance of guidance and independence. Each local guide brought a very personal touch to the tour and were both engaging and informative. Luiz was a pleasure to work with and provided the guidance we needed to create an itinerary that suited our interest and the pace we wanted.
We wanted a quality trip for our anniversary; and got more than what we expected. Well planned, well thought organized and well executed. We will definitely use Kensington tours for any trips in the future
I had never had the desire to visit London. After going, I am so glad I did. Kensington Tours made this once in a lifetime trip one I rate as the best. I have done some extensive traveling and this company made sure every detail was in place.
This Trip was amazing! We enjoyed every minute and second of it... Thank you.
Private tours were the best. Enjoyed being able to stop and see sights big groups wouldn't be able to do.
Our agent Enrique was phenomenal. He booked every aspect of our trip, from transportation, tour and hotel. All we had to do was show up. Best vacation!!
My excellent experience with Kensington Tours started with Michelle Callaghan, a consultant for Ireland and UK, followed by a very friendly and knowledgeable person in KT Air, ending with our guide Paul Wilson who my whole family loved. I am lucky enough to have traveled internationally for both business and pleasure for decades, therefore I have to compare. The entire experience with Kensington, from start to finish, was a 10.
I love being able to call Kensington and tell their agents where I want to go and what I'd like to see when at my destination. All I do is pack my suitcase and from the moment my plane lands, I am taken care of and looked after. It turns a "trip" into a "vacation" as well. It's hassle free, first rate.
We enjoyed the trip immensely! All our tour guides did a good job. I'd like to especially call out Alexandra from Lisbon and Javier from Toledo as outstanding. Our primary drivers Jose in Lisbon and Muhammad in Morocco were also outstanding! Special appreciation for our Riad accommodations in Marrakech which was magical!
Very well organized tour . I will recommend it to every one who wants to travel. Excellent tour.

Generally 'quality' foam brushes work well when using HT; although, high quality 'soft' large artists brushes work best followed by lightly and quickly 'tipping' with a dry foam brush. Laydown should be the same as varnish - full brush pulled in one direction only and at a low angle with light pressure, just like varnish you want it to 'flow'. For superb flow-out and leveling on the final clear coat, the use of a Preval type self-contained spray-bottle is ultimately the 'very best'. Preval Paint Spray Gun Kit
Acetone or Lacquer thinner, etc. are 'verboten' when using HT, so is the prior use of any 'stripper' unless you are willing to wait an immense amount of time for the MEK, etc. to outgas away.
|What kind of brushes were you using? Did you stir or shake the finishing material before using it? did you clear your brushes prior to each application? did you work the finish back and forth, or lay it down in one direction? did you wipe down the teak with acetone or laquer thinner immediately before laying on your finish?
Holy Toledo Batman, there is a lot of teak on your boat! Gorgeous but a bit of work, eh?
Great suggestions on the use of HT by RichH above. I had a similar problem using Bristol Finish (BF) on a much smaller project (grab rails) for my boat - the dreaded bubbling. Subsequent sanding and re-coating seemed to take care of it.
I second or third the advice of only using an oil based product like teak oil or the Semco mentioned on your decks or nothing at all. Most regular finishes can get quite slippery when wet.
Cetol (Interlux) recently came out with a new flavor called 'Natural Teak' which I have used on most of my exterior teak (not nearly as much as yours) with positive results with mostly annual maintenance. I'm quite sure it is cheaper, looks more like varnish then Cetol 'Marine' and does not have the 'bubble up' issue that some of the eurathane products seem to have like HT and BF.
I hope that HT works out for you with RichH's advice.
"a three hour tour, a three hour tour..."
"Rich H- If I understand you correctly, less catalyst will make the batch kick faster? So, you recommend less catalyst for verticals, which will speed up the 'kick"?"
Yup, as strange as it seems, less catalyst (and less 'flow fluid") will speed up the 'kick'.
As stated before DONT WORRY ABOUT THE BUBBLES ON THE FIRST COAT .... the successive coats will fill in the 'crater' left by the 'bubbles'. Varnish can also do this 'bubbles' / outgassing; just be sure to lay on THICK (on the 'horizontals') and the craters will 'fill' and level out. Promise.
Note: if you HAVE to flat sand because the 'bubbles' are showing through successive coats, do not sand the 'base coat' but add a few more 'clear' coats and flat sand the clear (only) coats .... if you see 'yellow' in the sanding water, STOP, as you are now sanding down into the base coat.
If you have a LOT of 'craters' from all the bubbling of the first coating ON (hot) HORIZONTALS, let cure a bit for several HOURS, then apply more but use a polyethylene trowel and PUSH new base, etc. INTO the craters. The trowel will remove the new and will help to fill the 'craters' ...... just like how one works gelcoat on a male plug mold. Ditto for 'leveling' boo-boos on the large vertical surfaces; for 'verticals' use LESS 'flow fluid'.
|I did some HT on bare wood around the cockpit coaming around 10pm......no bubbles. It must be a sun/heat related problem.
Well I thought today would was "The Day" to start laying Honey Teak on all of the teak attached to the boat. We (4 guys all with some experience and one who is a woodworker for a living) started laying on Honey at a little before 8 AM. It was around 70 deg when we began laying on Honey and the forecast called for a high in the mid 80's with low humidity (a cool day compared to the recent weather). It took about 40 mins to make a lap around the boat working in teams of two (one on deck, one on scaffolding x port/starboard). By the time we started to lay on the second coat (wet on wet, 40 mins after the first coat) a few bubbles started to show up. Applying the second coat knocked down the first coat bubbles.....but by the time the second coat was finished bubbles started to really show up . We knocked all of these bubbles down by finger-tip coated in Flow Fluid (HT thinner), trying to work the material down into the open pores. However, the bubbles just kept coming up. Now I have literally thousands of bubbles! We decided to call it quits and let the HT cure, sand the bubbles off, and try again another day. I have the feeling that we're going to be fighting bubbles all over again on the next coat. Any thoughts????
Rich H- If I understand you correctly, less catalyst will make the batch kick faster? So, you recommend less catalyst for verticals, which will speed up the 'kick"?

I use a mix of 1/3 Semco goldtone, 1/3 Teak Wonder and 1/3 Thompsons waterseal --- doesnt make the deck slippery when wet. Two coats will last 6 months if you keep the green water off the deck. Only problem with sealers is that they eventually transfer to the soles of your deck shoes and makes them slippery. Occasional sand paper fixes the shoes.

I do have a large fan (36'') at one end of the greenhouse with vents at the other end. It pulls quite a bit of air through. Like you suggested, I have always heard to varnish early on low humidity mornings. However, the teak seems to be gassing and creating bubbles as the temp rises during the day. Would it make sense to coat after the "heat" of the day, as the wood contracts and less likely to create bubbles?
The only real problems with HT are erroneously putting on the base coats too thin and the potential to sag/run on the verticals. The worst potential problem is a rapidly rising very high humidity will almost totally stop the cure; in that rare occurance dont touch the coating but WAIT allow to start to cure, then 'slop' on another coat as soon as the humidity goes back down ... will aid in the curing/'kicking' of the 'bad' coat. This is a very rare occurrence but can happen.
Be aware that it may take a few weeks for HT to 'fade' into a proper clear amber hue .... it may initially look somewhat like 'butterscotch' (or worse, may look like butt-ugly cetol) for the first few weeks, but will quickly fade to a proper oil based varnish look.
As like a primo varnish job, you can after a month or two of curing, flat sand with 2000 or 3000 grit W&D and then either (bare hand) hand-rub with rottenstone & water or wet-sand and POWER BUFF (w/foam knobby pad) with 3M finese-it, then 3M Perfect-it .... and will then make a brand new Hinckley blush with envy. The heat from hand-rubbing, etc. is what produces that dazzling iridescent GLOW under varnish and will remove almost all the 'dust, etc. imperfections'.
Caution: dont sand down the 'base coat' unless *absolutely* necessary ... its the UV filters in the base coat that allows HT to last for 10-12+ years and you want LOTS of intact UV filter to prolong the life of the coating system.
Gang finishing .... nah, do it yourself until you experience and find the learning curve. HT is a FAST finish to apply. Once you get the 'hang', you'll be doing wet-on-wet in no time .... with the exception of the damn verticals and thats a problem with varnish too.
|I tried Bristol Finish (similar 2 part as HT) and went back to Epifanes.

Arsène Wenger believes Martin O'Neill was the catalyst Sunderland required to turn things around.
The Black Cats have transformed their Premier League fortunes since the Northern Irishman's arrival in December, picking up 22 points from a possible 30.
A difficult opening to the campaign cost Steve Bruce his job but Wenger always knew the Wearside club would turn things around.
"I felt that Sunderland were a bit unlucky at the start of the season with Steve Bruce," said the Frenchman.
"Sometimes when a team has a recent negative history they lose confidence, and a new manager coming in with the experience of Martin O'Neill always helps to boost the side. They are a good team and I am not surprised.
"I don't know too much what he has done on a daily basis but he has improved their results.
"They have done well and we are doing well. We have rebuilt our confidence and it is important that we go there in a positive mind and that we come back with three points."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

text: Wow, as a retired technical writer who worked 30 years (4 teaching tech journalism at a university and 22 working for a major computer company), I can't tell you how valuable good writing and critical thinking skills are!!! Some of my former writing students (tech majors who were required to take a tech writing course) became managers at my tech company, and one commented to me about how valuable his tech writing course was to his career. He spent 50% or more of his time writing memos/proposals/email/etc. and doing presentations. As an undergrad, he never dreamed his job would involve so much writing. He couldn't have gotten where he is today without good writing skills. Communication is everything in the professional working world. I interviewed many job applicants throughout my career, and I learned a lot about each person through their resume and cover letter as well as writing samples and answers to difficult questions (esp. behavioral interview questions). If an applicant can't speak and write clearly, they won't get hired by any reputable company. IMO students who attend liberal arts colleges, where more writing is required than in large public universities, fare better in professional companies than do students who excel at taking multiple choice exams. The key to getting a job these days is not so much a factor of where you went to school but more a factor of what job experiences you've had (e.g. internships) and who you know (professional contacts open doors to job leads). P.S. My personal philosophy about the purpose of college is to teach you how to think. Everyone needs good problem solving skills to succeed in life. And since no one works in a vacuum, everyone also needs excellent communication skills.

The team consists of Condor, two Boxing Kangaroos and a Giant Anteater. All the animals possessed amazing taijutsu skills and were able to cause the Konoha ninja, Naruto Uzumaki, Rock Lee, Shino Aburame and team leader, Kotetsu Hagane struggling in their fights against them. In the end, all the members were defeated and Condor was captured by the Konoha ninja. It is unknown if the kangaroos or the anteater possessed the ability to speak like Condor.
- The name of the team is a pun on the Japanese name for the Four Musketeers (四銃士, Yonjūshi, Literally meaning: Four Noble Gun Warriors).
