Jimmy Carter's Security director sez Romney has no clue, appoint Kerry!
A former Democratic national security adviser assailed Republican presidential front-runnerMitt Romneyfor lacking a grasp of foreign policy and said the former Massachusetts governor would return the U.S. to the policies of George W. Bush."If we take seriously what he has been saying in the course of the campaign, we have every reason to be very worried," former U.S. National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski said in an interview on Bloomberg Television's "Political Capital With Al Hunt," airing this weekend. "He probably subscribes to the notions articulated by his Republican predecessor," George W. Bush, Brzezinski said.Romney is surrounding himself with advisers from the Bush administration, and he doesn't display a "broad grasp of what is unique about this century, how it differs from the preceding one," said Brzezinski, who was President Jimmy Carter's national security adviser.In Brzezinski's view, the best candidate to succeed Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in a second term for Obama would be Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry, a Massachusetts Democrat and former presidential nominee. Chuck Hagel, a former Senate Republican from Nebraska, also would be "awfully good," he said.

Robert R. Locke UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII COST ACCOUNTING AN INSTITUTIONAL YARDSTICK FOR MEASURING BRITISH ENTREPRENEURAL PERFORMANCE, CIRCA 1914 Abstract: This article, like that published in the spring issue, again finds fault with recent attempts by economic historians to rehabilitate the reputation of the late Victorian and Edwardian entrepreneur. It argues that, since after 1880 cost ac-counting became a "necessary" technology for good entrepreneurial performance, the revisionist economic historians' failure to consider institutional factors, like cost accounting, has led them to overlook elements essential to an appraisal of comparative entrepreneurial performance. The growing inferiority of British cost-ing methods, as opposed to American and German, moreover, meant a relative British entrepreneurial failure. In the first part of this essay, published in the spring issue, recent negative opinions about the quality of British entrepreneurial per-formance, circa 1914, were criticized from a cost accounting point of view.1 In this article attention shifts to the institutional basis of entrepreneurial activity. Although the revisionists historians under discussion are ostensibly preoccupied with the entrepreneur they really have ignored the effect of environment upon his operations. They have done this, moreover, even when the results of their own studies indicate that the subject should be investigated. Roderick Floud, in his study of Greenwood and Batley, observed, for example, that the character of the company's accounting system makes it impossible to measure the capital inputs, and therefore, the cost of such inputs, making it impossible to approach directly either the extent of, or the cost of factor substitution in the form of the use of capital rather than labor.2 If Floud could not measure these inputs could Greenwood & Batley? Floud never tries to answer such a question. This is un-fortunate because, again as Floud noted, quoting a contemporary source, the firm's financial record was "simply disastrous."3 There is something incongruous about saying that a firm had, at the same

Radical But Practical Revisited
In the very early 1950s a proverbial tree fell, but today almost nobody remembers hearing it. It certainly wasn't due to mediocrity; with its scratch-built tube chassis, handformed alloy body, and domestic V-8 grunt, the Astra Coupe is a true handbuilt sports car/hot rod hybrid cast in the same mold–or is that beaten over the same buck?–as Briggs Cunningham's legendary race cars from the same era.
While it never achieved the performance or cult status of Cunningham's cars, the Astra did get considerable press in its day. It was recognized as a visionary's idea of the ultimate sports rod and a testimonial of what an ordinary guy could achieve. Nor was its life short-lived; whether or not mixed praise in a major magazine initiated it, its restyling in the mid-1950s (where the car picked up the Astra Coupe name) put it back into a limelight that glowed well into the following decade.
One of the things that make this particular car stand out is the role it played in its owner's life. After selling the Astra, Jay Everett embarked upon a prolific career as a prototype builder. Among his highlights: an animatronic display his company built for IBM that debuted at the same World's Fair as Disney's Lincoln Speaks, a bottle proposal that became the iconic and award-winning Michelob beer bottle, and fiberglass seat shells and cast-aluminum legs for chairs that Charles and Ray Eames designed.
Though he'd long sold it by the time he made his mark on the design world, the Astra resurfaced in Jay's life in various ways. Whether it was fiberglass cupolas for the Don the Beachcomber restaurant in Las Vegas or computer cases for early IBM minicomputers, each project embarked upon by Jay Everett owed at least a part of its existence to his automotive construction background.
While no one source knew the Astra's whole story, each person in Jay's life revealed fragments of overlapping information. When combined with what appeared in the dozen or so articles written about the car over the years, a really comprehensive picture emerged.
Of course the flip side to a wealth of information is size, and to present everything we now know about the Astra in one sitting might be a bite too big to swallow. So we're going to try something different. We're going to tell the Astra's story in two parts: the way it was using photos taken of it during its heyday, and the way it is now.
Here goes nothin'.
"I'mtired of looking at lead barges," Jay proposed while talking about his car in the January '54 issue of Hot Rod magazine. By that time, Jay was a freshly minted father from Gardena who'd claimed 15 years of automotive experience in his 25 years.
Though Jay's claim may sound a little boastful, his creation was tangible proof of experience beyond his years. At the very least, friends and family noted that Jay did attend the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena for a period, and "I remember that Jay worked at Gordon's Body Shop in the very early 1950s," said Beverly Mason, Jay's first wife.
Despite admitting a lack of formal training in that Hot Rod article, Jay produced something that wasn't standard fare, and the difference went deeper than the car's light-metal skin. Whereas most "handbuilt" cars of its time were based on production cars or at the very least their frames, Jay's car sat on a chassis that Paul Koonz created from a triangulated network of 2 3/8-inch-diameter tubing.
Jay arched a network of smaller-diameter tubes arched over the chassis in the body's general shape. Spanning the gaps between those tubes was a skin that Jack Sutton (who built many a body for '50s race cars, including several bodies for Max Balchowski's Ol' Yallar race cars) and Dennis Powers formed on what Tommy Amer referred to in that Hot Rod article as an "English wheeling machine." Incorporated within those panels were various OEM components, like the majority of the windshield from the '52 Caddy and a Chevrolet Fleetline rear window. While the Chevy glass came with its own trim, bear in mind that Jay made full OEM-style trim for the cut-down Caddy glass.
Jay fastened the panels to the framework, and what emerged from his garage was a long-hood/short-deck creation with generously radiused wheelwells–both common practices among Continental European sports car manufacturers of the time. Though the design wasn't universally accepted, Jay left the ends of the car open and filled them with grilles made from flat stock and tubing. In retrospect, it probably wasn't the best idea, but Jay installed the radiator behind the grille in the Kamm-inspired tail, presumably with the idea that the low-pressure area behind the car would pull air through it. It's somewhat common practice today, but when Jay assembled the front fenders and hood as a clip that tilted forward from the chin in 1952, it wasn't in the least.
In the January '54 Hot Rod article, Tommy Amer said that a Cadillac engine sat 8 inches behind the axle. However, in the following month's Hop Up and Motor Life article, "Radical but Practical," Dean Moon noted that "Ample room remains for the late-model OHV V-8 engine, which will be installed in the near future." Dean could've gathered his information for the Hop Up article before Tommy Amer did for the Hot Rod piece, but it would've been exceptional for Hot Rod to not run a photo of an existing engine had it been there.
According to Beverly Mason, Jay's first wife, the car upon its debut didn't necessarily look the way most people remember it. "At the time the car was kind of a gold color," she said. Her recollection is consistent with the lighter finish on the car in the earliest articles. "I did go with him to a couple of car shows. He had a matching gold corduroy shirt–I just remember that scene. There was a lot of interest about the car."
"It was the envy of (George) Barris," noted one of Jay's future business partners, Jerry Williamson. "He couldn't stand that the car was upstaging him at that show. (Jay) was doing razor-crisp edges when they weren't very fashionable yet."
Though Jay had his reasons to design the ends of the car the way he did, it wasn't universally admired. In the September '55 Motor Trend, writer Ocee Ritch asked Detroit designers what they thought of the latest custom-car designs. Alongside images from Tommy Amer's Hot Rod article was Ocee's assessment: "…one of the recent best," he called it. Quoting the Detroit stylists, however, Ocee added that they "…have the feeling it was designed for ease of construction instead of being styled."
Whether or not it was due to the article, the car disappeared for almost a year. When it reappeared in the May '56 Rod & Custom, however, Jay's car looked decidedly different…and better by most accounts.
The fenders originally projected far ahead of the front wheels, but for this design Jay bobbed and tapered them to a point. He integrated the headlight covers with the existing hood scoops in this second design, la Lincoln's '55 Futura show car and '56 Premiere production car. The shark-nosed design effectively pinched closed the front of the car necessitating a scoop below to direct air to a more conventional front-mounted radiator.
By most accounts the presence of that chin scoop suggests the car's first engine, a 303-inch Olds. Though the car could have had an engine before, the extra clearance afforded by the cast-aluminum scoop that appeared on the hood in the new design suggests that it wasn't likely. As for the idea that the car had a Hydramatic as alluded to in one article, "It's obvious that the car was designed for a clutch pedal," said JF Launier, who restored the car. "It's not like something that was added at a later date."
The tail retained its shape, but Jay closed off the old radiator hole with a black-painted aluminum panel and replaced the earlier grille with a lattice of broader aluminum flat stock. In lieu of the old design's round taillights were handmade acrylic lenses that followed the arch of the rear quarters. A vertical sheet of aluminum split each of those lights into stoplights and what looked to be reverse lights. Along the way the decklid picked up a machined-aluminum fuel-filler cap (we'd call it billet nowadays). A small-diameter side pipe emerged from the rear of the simple, chrome-plated rocker panels.
Photos shot on the lawn in front of Jay's house indicate that the two handmade tube-framed buckets that are in the car today replaced the bench. Between those buckets emerged two shifter stalks, indicating that the car definitely had an overdrive transmission–likely the early Lincoln it has today.
In place of the Cadillac steering wheel is a handmade banjo wheel with three sets of three small-diameter spokes and an aluminum horn cap along the same lines as the fuel filler. A handmade steering column mast jacket replaced the column-shift unit, and the gauges migrated into an amoeba-shaped, aluminum-rimmed pod around that steering column.
Upon closer inspection, two brass badges–one within the hood spear and another at the bottom of the decklid–indicated that Jay's car was no longer officially nameless; it was now the Astra Coupe.
Jay's car as the Astra Coupe officially debuted in the May '56 Rod & Custom. Though James Potter called the Astra black and white, according to Jay's brother, John, who has pictures taken the day James shot the car, "…it is most certainly blue, though dark." Furthermore, Terry Everett, Jay's son, also remembers another blazer his dad wore to car shows–a jacket the same blue as the car.
Regardless of color, one thing is certain: In that May '56 R&C, Jay's car made a splash that rippled for decades. To see what happened, check in next month.

Ravens Pro Bowl kick returner Jacoby Jones was named to the NFL Network top 100 list, ranking 88th overall in balloting from fellow players.
Jones was featured in this video clip.
The "Dancing With the Stars" contestant joined tight end Dennis Pitta (100th overall) on the list.
"I could have been 100 and a half," Jones said on the program. "If I made the list, that's a blessing. I came from the bottom [and] I made the list. I'll take it."
Jones had three returns for touchdowns during the regular season. He ran back a kickoff for a touchdown in the Super Bowl, catching a pass for a second score against the San Francisco 49ers.
And he caught a touchdown pass to send the game into overtime in the Ravens' AFC divisional-round playoff victory over the Denver Broncos.
Jones caught 30 passes for 406 yards and a touchdown last season, but his candidacy for the highly subjective list undoubtedly got a boot from his postseason performance.
Former Ravens safety Bernard Pollard, who was cut and signed a one-year deal with the Tennessee Titans, ranks 87th. Former Ravens wide receiver Anquan Boldin, who was traded to the San Francisco 49ers for a sixth-round draft pick following a contract dispute, ranks 93rd.

CFP: Mediating the Nonhuman Conference and The 6th Annual UCSB Research Slam
Mediating the Nonhuman
The 6th Annual UCSB Research Slam (March 15th)
UC Santa Barbara Transcriptions Center and Department of English
South Hall 2635, March 15th and 16th
This year, UCSB's Transcriptions Center for Digital Humanities and New Media is incorporating its digital humanities research showcase, the Research Slam, into its other main event for the year, the faculty colloquium, Mediating the Nonhuman. We're interested in proposals for a few more presentations in the colloquium and for a wide range of proposals for the digital poster session at the Research Slam.
"Mediating the Nonhuman" takes up questions of how media and narrative frames shape how we understand and interact with events and processes that take place on nonhuman scales: ecological time, high-frequency stock trades, nonhuman cognition, nanotechnology, big data, and more. The colloquium will feature a keynote speaker, N. Katherine Hayles, respondent Rita Raley, and special guests including Michael North, David Golumbia, Mark Goble, Jennifer S. Rhee, and Nathan Brown.
The Research Slam—the premier annual DH event at UCSB, now in its sixth year—takes up a related set of questions through experiments in the digital humanities, through virtual posters, demos, test drives, and lightning talks. How, we want to ask, do acts of digital encoding and remediation enable us to see traditional and new objects of study, on human and nonhuman scales, in new ways?
Paper topics for 20-minute presentations at the colloquium might include:
- connections or disconnections between the posthuman and nonhuman
- artificial intelligences new and old
- ecocriticism and animal studies
- cybernetics and automation
- big data and data mining
- object-oriented ontology and speculative realism
Topics for the Research Slam are welcome to intersect with the above questions or to move in different directions; methods and formats might include:
- media experiments with big data, big image archives, and web scraping
- computer-aided transformations and deformations of texts and media objects
- inventive engagements with big data and distant reading techniques
- experiments with interactivity, games, mods, and hacks
- aural, video, film, or performance pieces
- another format or method you've come up with
Please send 200-300-word proposals and a brief bio email@example.com by February 10th, 2013. (Notifications of acceptance will be sent very shortly after this date.) Proposals should indicate whether they wish to participate in the Research Slam or the Mediating the Nonhuman colloquium.
This event has been generously sponsored by a UCSB Interdisciplinary Humanities Center Collaborative Research Grant, the Center for Information Technology and Society, and the Departments of Comparative Literature, Film and Media Studies, and Spanish and Portuguese.

During my last year in high school, we were given two weeks off from classes for senior projects. While my peers pursued scuba diving, rock climbing, sailing, and photography, I headed to Ma Maison, the culinary pinnacle of Los Angeles, circa 1984. Being a girl in a French restaurant, I was led straight to the pastry kitchen. When I arrived, my fear of being in the way was quickly put to rest; the pastry chef had just been fired, and the sous-chef, Aisha, was running the show all alone. In no time at all, she had me making doughs, whipping mousses, and filling tart shells. Thrilled with my new-found pastry skills, I rushed home every day after work to re-create those desserts for my family.
One of the first things I learned to make that spring was a classic lemon tart with a pâte sucrée crust. The first time I tried it at home, my chocoholic sister begged me to add some chocolate. I refused and stuck to the classic French recipe. But one day, when her birthday rolled around, I gave in to her suggestion. I melted some bittersweet chocolate, spread it over the baked crust, and waited for it to solidify. Nervously, I poured the warm lemon curd over and waited to see if it would work. It was the first time I'd ever deviated from a pastry recipe, and I was terrified I might ruin it. To Jessica's delight (and mine, too), it was even better than the original. To this day, whenever this tart is on the Lucques menu, Jessica gloats, proud of our lemon-chocolate collaboration.–Suzanne Goin
This tart should be served cold, so make it at least a few hours before serving. When you make the lemon curd, you need to stir it the entire time. For an ultra-smooth curd, I use both a whisk and a rubber spatula, alternating between the two as I stir. Start with the whisk, and as the mixture begins to get frothy, switch to the spatula (which helps get rid of the froth), scraping the bottom and sides continuously. Remove the curd from the heat and let it cool slightly before pouring it over the hardened chocolate layer. Don't cool the curd completely before pouring or it will lose its nice sheen. You can also make this tart with regular lemon juice.
Meyer Lemon Tart with a Layer of Chocolate
- Quick Glance
- Serves 6
IngredientsEmail Grocery List
- For the pâte sucrée (makes enough for two crusts)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 extra-large egg yolks
- 2 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 sticks unsalted butter (8 oz)
- For the tart
- 1 recipe pâte sucrée (above)
- 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate
- 4 extra-large eggs
- 3 extra-large egg yolks
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup Meyer lemon juice
- 10 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (5 oz), cut into small pieces
- A pinch of kosher salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Make the pâte sucrée
- 1. Whisk the cream and egg yolks together in a small bowl.
- 2. In a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and butter on medium speed until you have a coarse meal. Gradually add the cream and yolks and mix until just combined. Do not overwork the dough.
- 3. Transfer the dough to a large work surface and bring it together with your hands to incorporate completely. Divide the dough in half, shape into 1-inch-thick discs, and wrap one of them to freeze and use later.
- 4. If the dough is too soft, put in the refrigerator for 5 to 10 minutes to firm up a little. If the dough is manageable, place it on a lightly floured work surface, sprinkle a little flour over the dough, and roll it out into a 1/4-inch-thick circle, flouring as necessary. Starting at one side, roll and wrap the dough around the rolling pin to pick it up. Unroll the dough over a 10-inch tart pan. Gently fit the dough loosely into the pan, lifting the edges and pressing the dough into the corners with your fingers. To remove the excess dough, roll the rolling pin lightly over the top of the tart pan for a nice clean edge, or work your way around the edge pinching off any excess dough with your fingers. Chill for 1 hour.
- Make the tart
- 5. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 6. Take the tart pan with the pâte sucrée from the refrigerator. Prick the bottom with a fork and line it with a few opened and fanned-out coffee filters or a piece of parchment paper. Fill the lined tart shell with beans or pie weights and bake 15 minutes, until set. Take the tart out of the oven and carefully lift out the paper and beans. Return the tart to the oven and bake another 10 to 15 minutes, until the crust is an even golden brown. Set aside on a rack to cool completely.
- 7. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler over medium-low heat. Spread the chocolate evenly on the crust and chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, until the chocolate has solidified completely.
- 8. While the crust is chilling, make the curd. Whisk the eggs, yolks, sugar, and lemon juice together in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, alternating between a whisk and rubber spatula (see note above), until the lemon curd has thickened to the consistency of pastry cream and coats the back of the spatula.
- 9. Remove the lemon curd from the heat. Add the butter a little at a time, stirring to incorporate completely. Season with the salt. Let the curd cool about 8 minutes, and then strain it into the prepared tart shell. Chill the tart in the refrigerator.
- 10. Just before serving, whip the cream in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or by hand) until it holds soft peaks. Cut the tart into six wedges, plate them, and serve with dollops of whipped cream.

Sites such as Kickstarter and Indiegogo are famous among those looking to get funding for their products through crowdsourcing. Many companies that have pitched their offerings on these sites have received additional funding over what they were initially looking to acquire.
This was the case for Scanadu, a medical company that recently looked to Indigogo to fund its Scout medical tricorder. The company initially asked for $100,000 to get the device to the consumer market. It received more than $1.5 million, setting an Indiegogo record.
Simply put, the Scout monitors the user's vital functions in conjunction with a smartphone. It collects data such as heart rate, temperature, oximetry, ECG, HRV, and pulse wave transit time. It can measure stress and even perform urinary analysis. The device is placed on the patient's forehead. Within a matter of seconds, it collects a vast amount of data that is sent via a Bluetooth connection to a smartphone for analysis and storage. The information can then be sent wirelessly to a physician.
To acquire all the data the Scout collects, Scanadu designed the device using electrodes, IR/visible light sensors, gyroscopes, accelerometers, thermistors, and microphones -- all packed into a case that can easily fit inside a person's pocket.
Scanadu recently extended the Indiegogo campaign, not necessarily for the money (it would seem), but rather to garner feedback from a select few backers to improve the product. Scanadu also wants to see how the tricorder may be used and incorporate new features based on feedback from those consumers. So far, it has incorporated two new features based on early information gathered from participants: a cardiopulmonary sensor that monitors noise and technology that lets visually impaired users interact with the device.
Judging from the number of backers that Scanadu has received, it looks as though the Scout is very popular among MDs, parents, and medical students. The company hopes to have the final product ready to ship to initial backers in the first quarter of next year. The rest of the world will have to wait for the FDA to approve the device for consumer use, which should be sometime in the second half of 2014.

Research Division Evaluates the Impact of its Fellowships Program
In academic circles, it's common to hear it said that a professor "got an NEH." What is meant by this shorthand is that a faculty member was awarded an NEH Fellowship. One of the oldest and largest NEH programs, Fellowships receives over 1,200 applications annually. The success of the program has always been readily apparent by the publication of thousands of books – 7,000 to date – and many of them award winners. Yet the impact of the NEH Fellowships Program for humanities learning has until now rested on mostly anecdotal evidence.
In a year-long study, the Endowment's Research Division staff conducted a formal evaluation of the program. Focusing on the three-year period from 2002 through 2004, we surveyed the 520 Fellows who won awards during that time. In addition to the survey, we researched Fellows' publications, located reviews of those publications, and documented the awards and prizes the publications received. Our aim was to better understand in what ways the Fellowships Program has benefited scholarship and scholars.
NEH Fellows may work on the beginning, middle, or final stages of their projects. Study results show that 70 percent of the Fellows completed books within seven to nine years after they received their awards—and some stated that their books are currently in press. They also told us that their grants enabled them to research their subjects more completely and finish their projects sooner, thus producing higher quality scholarship. In all, 96 percent of the Fellows have so far produced a product: usually a book, an article, or an essay.
The survey group included faculty members at colleges and universities as well as independent scholars. Among other valuable insights we learned that independent scholars especially appreciate the Fellowships program because there are few other sources of support for them. Many junior faculty members at higher education institutions told us that their Fellowships helped them win tenure status, and many senior faculty noted that their awards led to promotion or other recognition. Over 90 percent indicated that their awards had an impact on their careers. Significantly, 77 percent of those surveyed noted that their NEH-supported research directly benefited their teaching.
Judging from the prizes the Fellows' books earned, and the three to four reviews (on average) that Fellows' books received within three years of publication, NEH Fellows' books have evidently reached not only humanities scholars but a wider public audience. Some reviews appeared in major periodicals such as The New York Times Book Review, The Nation, The New Yorker, Life, The Saturday Evening Post, and Foreign Affairs – thus reaching millions of readers. We were pleased to learn that reviews also appeared in publications not usually associated with the humanities: for example, Nursing Administration Quarterly, The Journal of the American Medical Association, Civil Engineering, American Scientist, and Army.
From the scholars' testimony and the data on publications, awards, and reviews, we found that NEH Fellowships effectively succeed in promoting high quality scholarship and individual scholarly development. Fellowships are widely distributed among junior and senior scholars and across institution types and regions, and the resulting scholarship reaches multiple audiences as well as the general public. In other words, the program can claim to have nationwide benefits. As NEH Chairman James Leach writes in his preface to the report, "NEH Fellowships provide essential support that enables American scholars to advance humanistic knowledge, enrich the cultural record, contribute to educational programs, and inform the general public."

Best is to use zc.buildout. Just add Products.Poi to your eggs, rerun buildout and you are done. Optionally add Products.PloneSoftwareCenter.
Poi requires:
- Plone 4; this version of Poi will not work with Plone 3.
- DataGridField
- AddRemoveWidget
- collective.watcherlist
- For PloneSoftwareCenter integration, PloneSoftwareCenter is required. See http://plone.org/products/plonesoftwarecenter Tested with PloneSoftwareCenter 1.5.
For new installations, install using Add/Remove Products as normal. If you want PloneSoftwareCenter configuration to be automatically configured, install PSC first.
Re-install Poi from the Add/Remove Products control panel. Some upgrade steps will be executed; these can also be found in the ZMI, in portal_setup, on the Upgrade tab, in case you need to run them again. Backup your Data.fs first before upgrading!
Add a Tracker, and use the "state" menu to open it for submissions.
The tracker front pages allows you to browse for issues by release, state or area, as well as search for issues. Note that if you are not tracking software releases, you can leave the list of "releases" empty, and organisation by release will be turned off. The fields for areas and issue types come pre-configured with simple values that presume you are tracking software bugs. You can change these to whatever you want.
Once you have set up the tracker, add Issues inside, and Responses inside Issues. Anyone can add responses to issues with the default workflow. Responses from tracker managers (as configured on the root tracker object) and the original submitter are colour coded to make them easier to pick out. When adding a response as a tracker manager, you can change the state, importance or assignment of an issue.
If email notification is enabled in the root tracker object, managers will get an email when there are new issues and responses, optionally via a mailing list. Issue submitters will also get emails upon issue responses. Additionally, when an issue is marked as "resolved" by a tracker manager, the submitter will receive an email asking him or her to mark the issue as confirmed closed.
To use with the PloneSoftwareCenter, install PSC and then install Poi. This will ensure PoiPscTracker is added to the list of allowed content types in portal_types/PSCProject. You can then add Trackers inside a project in the software center. The trackers will function in the same way as regular trackers, but will use releases from the software center project instead of a manually defined list.
For a look at how the various workflow states of an issue are connected, take a look at the attachment added by bethor to this issue: http://plone.org/products/poi/issues/179
Using HTML/kupu and other markups for issue text:
Please see notes about migration above!
Before version 1.0b2 Poi used to support kupu/rich text fields with HTML in the issue and response body. This was removed in favour of "intelligenttext", a plain-text markup that preserves whitespace and makes links clickable.
This was found to work very well on plone.org and for the type of simple trackers that Poi was intended for. However, a lot of users wanted kupu back.
To get kupu back, you will need to edit Poi/config.py:
ISSUE_MIME_TYPES = ('text/x-web-intelligent', 'text/html') DEFAULT_ISSUE_MIME_TYPE = 'text/html'
You may also need to re-install Poi, and perform an Archetypes schema update, by going to archetypes_tool, and the Schema Update tab in the ZMI.
And you may need to remove some conditional expressions in the portal_javascripts to make sure all needed scripts load (at least for TinyMCE).
Please note one very important thing:
- If you upgrade Poi, you are likely to have to make this change again!

Changelog for Poi
2.2.9 (2016-12-09)
- Only do link detection in plain or intelligent text fields. If a field has html and contains an html space   and you have an issue 160, it will start looking very ugly. Note that by default html is not allowed. [maurits]
2.2.8 (2015-08-31)
- Require Products.DataGridField 1.9.2 as minimum. This means we no longer use the isDataGridFilled validator, but simply rely on required=True for the availableAreas and availableIssueTypes fields of the trackers. [maurits]
2.2.7 (2014-09-10)
- Refer to .png Plone images in css instead of .gif. [thomasdesvenain]
- When we go to search form, current filters are pre-selected. [thomasdesvenain]
- Filled in missing translations for de and removed stale fuzzy entries [pilz]
2.2.6 (2013-10-18)
- Show technicians in the responsible managers list in the search form. Fixes http://plone.org/products/poi/issues/266 [maurits]
- Sort the available releases of trackers in PloneSoftwareCenter by id, which means: by version. [maurits]
- Fix auto-recognized issue/revision links when displayed in the tracker log. These would point outside of the tracker. Now we pass the absolute url of the tracker. Note that responses cache their rendered html text in a variable rendered_text, which is only updated when you edit the response, so this may not have effect on existing responses. Fixes http://plone.org/products/poi/issues/255 [maurits]
- Fix corner cases in recognizing links to issues and revisions. Add the patterns for these two in config.py so they can be overridden. Also add the template to use when recognizing a link to another issue there. Fixes http://plone.org/products/poi/issues/262 [maurits]
2.2.5 (2013-08-22)
- Fixed mail templates styles for new issue and new response [cekk]
- Some style fixes; removed all inline styles left, translated to CSS rules. [keul]
2.2.4 (2013-07-02)
- Removed the text type selection for the tracker description. Note: when editing and saving an existing tracker and it has html code in its description, you may get a validation error: "Mimetype text/html is not allowed." In that case you need to edit the description and remove the html tags. [keul]
- Some style fixes; removed inline styles. [keul]
2.2.3 (2013-04-18)
- Also allow text/plain for the details field. This fixes a problem with Plone 4.3. [maurits]
- Updated italian translation [keul]
- Now supporting the "Site Administrator" role [keul]
- Fix tracker security; issues inside private folder must not be visible to anonymous users [keul]
2.2.2 (2013-04-04)
- Show the 'Watch/Stop watching this tracker' button again. [maurits]
- Fixed KeyError: portal on several pages for anonymous users. [maurits]
2.2.1 (2013-03-30)
- Issue search form criteria can be pre-selected from request. [thomasdesvenain]
- Quick search and add issue button are now available on all pages. [thomasdesvenain]
- Most metadata are now clickable links. [thomasdesvenain]
- Added issue_portal_type parameter in IssueFolderView. It is now possible to use a custom content type inherited from PoiIssue. [cedricmessiant]
2.2 (2013-02-07)
- Completed French translations. [cedricmessiant]
- Store the watchers of a tracker in a lines field instead of annotations. This way, you can edit them as Manager if that is needed. Added an upgrade step to migrate all existing trackers. [maurits]
- Fixed changes in a response that were being saved with a wrong id. This did not cause missing data, just a duplicate id in the response changes. This is never shown in the UI, so should only be a problem for third party code that directly accesses this response data structure. https://github.com/collective/Products.Poi/issues/4 [maurits]
2.1.4 (2012-12-03)
- Fix advanced search form not returning results unless both Issue number and Submitter were specified. [rpatterson]
2.1.3 (2012-11-28)
- Fixed reinstall error. Metadata would be missing in the catalog brains. [maurits]
- Included Products.AddRemoveWidget and Products.DataGridField in configure.zcml [cedricmessiant]
2.1.2 (2012-11-06)
- Fixed packaging error. [maurits]
2.1.1 (2012-11-06)
- Made compatible with Plone 4.3. Lost compatibility with Plone 4.0. [maurits]
- Fix Unauthorized/"Insufficient Privileges" error under Plone 4.2. [rpatterson]
2.1.0 (2012-06-28)
- completed german translation [jensens]
2.1.0b1 (2012-05-02)
- Get rid of all code that still handled old PoiResponses. If you still have those (meaning you were using Poi 1.1.x before this), then you must first update to version 2.0.x and run the upgrade steps. [maurits]
- Add an uninstall method and profile, to clean up a bit more. In addition to what the CMFQuickInstaller does, we remove our catalog columns and indexes, our skin layer from the skin selections, and our types from the parentMetaTypesNotToQuery in the navtree_properties. [maurits]
- Refactored all email notifications to templates. This should make it easier to customize and translate. [maurits]
- Fixed example link for collective changesets. [maurits]
- When clicking on the suggested login button, show a popup. [maurits]
- Removed htmlrender.py. [maurits]
- Refactored the email notifications by creating a page template browser/poi_mail.pt and a css file skins/Poi/poi-email.css and using that instead of hardcoded stuff in a python file htmlrender.py. Fixes http://plone.org/products/poi/issues/251 [maurits]
- Allow assigning portlets to trackers and issues. Fixes http://plone.org/products/poi/issues/250 [maurits]
- Make sure the issue-info-box does not inherit a 100% width, as is the case on plone.org at the moment (6 September 2011), which is far too wide for this little box. See http://plone.org/products/poi/issues/249 [Maurits]
- Added MANIFEST.in file so that .mo translation files will be included in source distributions (with help from zest.releaser and zest.pocompile). Refs http://plone.org/products/poi/issues/248 [maurits]
2.0.2 (2011-04-09)
- Depend on Products.CMFPlone instead of Plone to improve Plone 4.1 compatibility. [maurits]
- Do not fail when rendering a response that has a text/x-html-safe mimetype or where the html transform returns nothing. (Merged from 1.2 branch.) [maurits]
- Review French translations [toutpt]
2.0.1 (2010-11-11)
- Split profile registration and upgrade steps from configure.zcml into a new profiles.zcml as it is quite big already. [maurits]
- Fix: for the 'no change' label and input the ids were empty. [thomasdesvenain]
- Removed our dependency on collective.autopermission, as its functionality is integrated in Zope 2.12 (Plone 4.0). [maurits]
2.0 (2010-10-14)
- Lower the minimum dependency on Products.AddRemoveWidget to 1.4.2 again, as I had a report about a performance hit in 1.4.3 in corner cases not related to Poi itself; and 1.4.2 is fine really, though 1.4.4 has a fix for Plone 4 in a part that Poi does not use. [maurits]
- Do not advise users to click on 'search for issues' as that link is nowhere; instead it should be 'Advanced issue search'. [maurits]
For changes in 2.0b2 and earlier, see docs/HISTORY.txt.

Limited edition of 30
This limited edition David Bowie album art print is based on a shot from the 1971 Hunky Dory photo session. David Bowie's legendary 1970s album covers for Hunky Dory and The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, were both designed by Norfolk-based illustrator, Terry Pastor. Published by Terry Pastor himself, this Oh! You Pretty Things edition has been re-mastered and re-coloured, removing the black border from the design and giving it a blue and turquoise hue. Having left school aged 15 to work as a commercial artist, it was losing his job in a studio in Fleet Street that landed Pastor the work on the Hunky Dory album. "I was sacked from the art studio in 1964 basically for having long hair and looking like a Rolling Stones clone," he said. The Hunky Dory cover began with a black-and-white photograph, the style of which was influenced by a Marlene Dietrich photo book that the 24 year old Bowie took with him to the shoot, telling photographer Brian Wood, "this is how I want to look". The resulting photograph, a perfect metaphor for the album's visionary blend of gay camp, flashy rock guitar and saloon-piano balladry (Rolling Stone, 12/11/2003), was allegedly taken during one of Bowie's cigarette breaks. It was lifted to its position among the greats of album cover art when it was handed to Pastor, who applied colour using photo-dyes with a DeVilbiss Super 93 airbrush. Bowie was so pleased that he commissioned the Ziggy Stardust cover using the same techniques. Oh! You Pretty Things in its blue and turquoise colourway offers something unique to the David Bowie collector - a image that is instantly recognisable and yet uncommon. A special thing.

Todd led the Crimson with five shots (Craig Cyr photo).
PROVIDENCE, R.I.—The Harvard women's lacrosse team rallied from a three-goal deficit to take a second-half lead, but Brown scored nine of the final 12 goals to pull away to a 15-9 win Saturday at Stevenson Field.
Alexis Nicolia netted four goals for Harvard (2-7, 1-3 Ivy League), including two in a halftime-spanning, four-goal spurt that lifted the Crimson from a 6-3 deficit to a 7-6 lead. The Bears (8-2, 2-2) responded with a four-goal run of their own. Nicolia's fourth tally got Harvard back within two at 10-8, but Brown held a 5-1 edge over the last 15 minutes.
Brown's Lindsay Minges scored the tying goal, one of her four in the game. Five different players joined Nicolia as Crimson goal-scorers, with Audrey Todd adding a pair of assists. Jenn Hatfield made eight saves for Harvard after entering the game facing a 3-1 deficit.
Things looked good for Harvard at the outset, with Todd scoring just 41 seconds into the game, with Mariel Jenkins assisting. Minges countered for Brown about two minutes later, though, and she later scored consecutive free-position goals for a 5-2 edge.
The half closed with a wild final minute. Abby Bunting scored for the Bears with 12 seconds left, stealing Harvard's thunder after Danielle Tetreault found the cage 16 seconds earlier. Nicolia got the goal back, though, when she was set up by Micaela Cyr with four seconds to go.
Harvard maintained its momentum after the break, with Nicolia, Kylie Keating and Cyr scoring to put the Crimson on top. Four Brown goals in four minutes swung the pendulum back in the Bears' favor, and a goal by Nina Kucharczyk with nine minutes left to play was not enough.
The Bears held a 28-18 shots advantage and got three goals from Bre Hudgins and seven saves from Kellie Roddy. Harvard's Keating led all players with eight draw controls, and Cyr caused two turnovers.

16-year-old Helena Muffly wrote exactly 100 years ago today:
Tuesday, May 2, 1911: Ruth and I went to Milton this morning. Her highness got a dress and a pair of pumps. Don't know when I will get mine, perhaps next winter.
Her middle-aged granddaughter's comments 100 years later:
We're five months into the diary–and even though Milton is probably only about 5 miles from the Muffly farm–this is the first time that it is mentioned in the diary. The only towns previously mentioned were McEwensville, Watsontown, and Turbotville. Whew, by today's standards, Grandma never got very far from her home.
A trip to Milton probably felt like a trip to the big city.
A hundred years ago Milton had a humming downtown with lots of wonderful stores. Back then there were trolley tracks that ran between Watsontown and Milton, so Grandma and her sister Ruth probably walked to Watsontown and then took the trolley to Milton.
The trolley system was dismantled a few years after the diary was written:
With the automobile came on the scene in the early years of the twentieth century, the trolley business began to slack. After a sharp decline in business, the L.M. & W. trolley company changed to gasoline buses in 1922. Even the buses couldn't complete with the automobile and service ended in the early 1930s.
George Venios in Chronicles and Legends of Milton (2002)
An aside: I had a wonderful visit with George Venios, Deb Owens, and Joan Nunn at the Milton Historical Society yesterday. I enjoyed learning more about Milton, and they shared many wonderful artifacts with me including the early postcard in today's posting. Additional Milton pictures from the historical society will illustrate future posts. Thank you!
I'd also like to thank the Milton Public Library and the Montgomery House Library for their awesome assistance with finding and navigating my way through old issues of the Milton Evening Standard and the Watsontown Record and Star. I'll be periodically sharing materials from those newspapers.

Texas Vietnam Memorial dedication at state Capitol
By Cindy Yohe Lindsay
Special to The Examiner
The day was perfect for a crowd of more than 3,000, with blue skies and a canopy of white clouds. The dedication of the Texas Vietnam Memorial on March 29 on the Capitol grounds in Austin was a day that seemed blessed, not only because of the weather but also for the nine years it took to complete a monument to recognize those so well deserving.
Century-old oaks shaded the 14-foot-tall sculpture of an Infantry patrol. Entombed in the base of the monument are hand-struck replicas of 3,417 dog tags representing Texans who died or are unaccounted for in Vietnam.
The dedication day mirrored the exact day the last U.S. troops left Vietnam 41 years ago.
My husband, Michael and I were honored to attend the ceremony with 30-plus committee members from our area. The group from Southeast Texas played an important part in the monument's birth.
Our Southeast Texas fundraiser, a "Welcome Home Brother" weekend in 2012, raised more than $60,000 toward the building of the $2.2 million dollar monument. The Texas Monument Committee matched our funds because Beaumont was the only city to answer the call for a major, area wide fundraiser in Texas. That call was answered by Barbara Otto, executive assistant to the Beaumont mayor's office, who saw the need for a monument to our Vietnam veterans and made it happen. When I visited Barbara after the ceremony, she said, "I can't believe this is finally happening. It's a day I dreamed of." And it truly was.
I also spent time with two Army nurses who served the wounded in Vietnam and, as 70 year olds, still weather the lack of recognition of a female in wartime service. I listened to an Army Specialist attached to the 101st Airborne who broke his back jumping from a Jolly Green Giant helicopter during the Battle of Huế in 1968. And I stood quietly during a ceremony as a Texas area South Vietnamese veterans organization gave tribute to the American forces for their fighting in support of their country.
For all, it was time for a sharing and remembering.
What I will cherish most from the day is attending the dedication with Michael's friend for 30-plus years, LC Brown. My husband and LC have shared a cup of coffee nearly every morning during those many years on the carport of their friend James. Yet, according to Michael, LC never talked about his time "in country." LC is a Vietnam vet who has ridden with the motorcycle team Rolling Thunder to "The Wall" in D.C. every Memorial Day for the past 20 years. He has had his hard times remembering friends lost. But on that March 29, he said he appreciated that we Texans had truly thanked him for his service and welcomed him home … finally. Michael said LC talked a lot the day of the dedication.
Remarks were made by many during the three-and-a-half-hour dedication ceremony, but none rang more true for all, civilians and veterans alike, than these: Gov. Rick Perry, standing shoulder to shoulder with the 12 Texas Vietnam veterans who spearheaded the monument's creation, said, "The monument we dedicate today will stand as an ongoing demonstration of the depth of our appreciation for the sacrifices of our Vietnam veterans, and a reminder of what is noble and good about the human spirit."
I hope, with all my heart, that we will always welcome home our Vietnam veterans and all service men and women who have served, are now serving and those who will take the oath of service in the future. God Bless them all.

The Definitive Guide: 15 Ways to Store the Shoes
Shoes piled up in the entranceway? Mudroom? Bedroom? Here's a pretty comprehensive list of the many ways of dealing with shoe storage - for those with just a few pairs, or quite a lot. In each category, I'm showing just some of the many options.
1. Shoe racks
Here are a few alternatives to give you an idea of the range of options:
- Woodlore modular shoe rack
- Walnut wooden shoe rack (shown above)
- Cedar shoe racks
- Metro shoe racks
- Skohyllor (Swedish for shoe racks) from Mio in Sweden
- Shoe rack from Side by Side in Germany
2. Shoe Cubbies
These can be built into a closet system, or they can be freestanding. The picture above comes from Cubbies Unlimited; Organize-It sells seven different cubbies.
Update on Nov. 25, 2008: You can also get acrylic shoe divider cubbies from Custom Inserts.
3. Shoe boxes on a shelf (or the closet floor)
You could use the boxes your shoes came in, or in boxes from:
- Shoe Stör [via Mighty Goods]
- Shoebby
- KangaRoom / Great Useful Stuff
- Closet Fetish [via organizer Geralin Thomas]
- Gracienne (Cleary Glam boxes) [via OrganizingLA]
- The Container Store
NeatContainers sort of fits into this category, too.
Nov. 24 update: I should make this category shoe boxes and shoe drawers. As organizer Ilene Drexler said: "I think you missed my hands-down favorite: the men's size shoe drawers from The Container Store. They slide in & out with the greatest of ease, are crystal clear plastic & are roomy enough for all types of women's shoes. Expensive but worth every penny!"
Jan 2, 2014 update: The Closet Fetish website has disappeared.
4. Shelves, without the boxes
To see how one person used shelves for shoes, take a look at Apartment Therapy. (And here are more Apartment Therapy pictures.) Or you could use a bookcase, as shown in Domino. Charles & Marie point us to a shoe shelf from 659 Design. And shelves for shoes are a common option used in closet systems - such as the one from Econize Closets, shown above. Update on Jan. 20, 2012: 659 Design seems to have disappeared, as has Domino magazine.
5. Over-the-door shoe bags (or pocket organizers) - which could be hung other places, too.
The Container Store and Organize-It have a number of options. Room It Up has some for those who prefer patterns. In the UK, Cath Kidston has a pretty hanging shoe tidy, shown above. Update on May 23, 2011: The Cath Kidston web site is no longer showing this style of shoe tidy.
6. Over-the-door shoe racks
Organizer Ilene Drexler pointed me to the over-the-door shoe rack at Organize.com, shown above.
7. Shoe bags (or racks) that hang from a closet rod
The Container Store has a number of these, including some made from bamboo or recycled materials. Lorie Greiner has a couple options, one for just shoes and one for shoes and sweaters. Tiny Living and Room It Up have colorful options. John Lewis is one source in the U.K. And the picture above shows a product sold by Hold N Storage.
Organize-It has a shorter version that works with double-hanging closet rods. [via Real Simple]
And Perfect Curve has a shoe rack that hangs from the rod - available at Organize-It and a number of other places. [via Harriet Schechter in the San Diego Union-Tribune]
Updates on Sept. 28, 2009, May 23, 2011, Jan. 29, 2012 and Sept. 13, 2012: Room It Up has disappeared. Lorie Greiner no longer sells this type of organizer, either. And, unfortunately, Tiny Living has closed. The Perfect Curve shoe rack is no longer available at Organize-It, but it can be found other places, such as here. You can also find this style of shoe tidy at Cath Kidston.
8. Under-bed shoe storage
Get Organized sells the under-bed shoe organizer shown above, as well as an under-bed shoe trolley. Organize.com has an under-bed shoe storage bag. Update on Feb. 13, 2012: Get Organized no longer sells either of these products. However, you can find the pictured under-bed shoe organizer here.
9. Revolving shoe trees
The 4-tier revolving shoe tree above is made by Whitney Designs. Polder has 3-tier and 2-tier options. Update on Sept 29, 2009 and May 23, 2011: Products once sold by Whitney Designs are now sold by Household Essentials. Search for shoe to find these products on the Polder site.
10. Shoe cabinets, chests, cupboards and tansu
Tilt-out shoe storage cabinets like the one shown above are a space-saving option. But there are plenty of other options, including the Team7 hallway shoe cabinet, the many options from Homebase, the ottoman shoe chest, the shoe chest from Horchow, and the shoe storage tansu from Berkeley Mills.
11. Shoe benches
The lovely shoe bench above comes from NHWoodworking. Tilt-out shoe benches are another option. And other shoe benches have cubbies, like this bamboo bench. Update on Sept. 28, 2009: That bamboo bench (which was sold by Design Public) is no longer available. But I see I neglected to point to the beautiful shoe benches by Woodistry, which I've mentioned before.
12. Elfa
If you're using an elfa system, you can include the Easy Hang shoe rack shown above, which is meant for shoes with heels. [via Apartment Therapy]
There's also the Hangmate shoe rack, which hangs on the side of any elfa drawer system.
13. Repurposed items: coat hooks, magazine racks and roll-out shelves
Apartment Therapy shows how a coat rack could be used for shoes. A wall-mounted magazine rack could also be used for shoes. And roll-out shelves like you often see in kitchens can store shoes, too.
14. Baskets and Trays
For some people (like Nancy Sabina and Mamacita), a simple basket works just fine. And for some, a tray works just fine.
15. One-of-a-kind products
And then there are the products that defy classification. I've mentioned some of these before: the Rakku shoe wheel, the Hotel Box, the shoe storage built into a staircase, the flip-flop storage (and the stilettos hanging from a picture rail), the wall-mounted shoe racks from j-me and Charlotte Tangye Design and the Brookstone cubbies.
But the shoe stacker shown above is a new one for me - thanks to John Trosko at OrganizingLA. Update on Jan. 29, 2012: I'm no longer finding this product being sold.
OK, folks - did I miss anything?

I don't think you missed anything - your posts are always so comprehensive! Thanks Jeri! You certainly keep the bar high for us bloggers (can you please write that book?!)
While we're talking shoe storage, or by the front door storage, thought I'd briefly mention this IKEA hacker concept I've been desperately in love with for a looooong time ... ooooooooooooohhhhhh love everything about this!

Thanks for the pointer to the IKEA hack.
And thank you for pushing me on the book. The idea is still very much alive, but I need to make it come to fruition in 2009.

Major league comprehensive info about shoe storage!
But I've never figured out why some people (especially us females) seem to want so many shoes. I must not have the shoe gene.
Also, you have another vote here to write a book. Heaven help the poor person who has to clear rights for all the photos, but what a fabulous book it would be!

Cynthia, Lissanne gave me a great idea for how I might structure a book; now I just need to make the time to do it!

Wow! Plenty of options to choose from :)
Do you have some advice how to manage combat boots, specially knee-high ones? Me and lot of my friends have those, so when they come to visit, my hallway looks like some boot-factory exploded there, and in winter it gets really messy with all the snow melting. Normal shoe racks are simply not high enough :S

Miina, here's the post on boots - I should have shown it as a Related Post. I'll go back and do that.

Thanks, this wall-mounted boot rack for wellies is probably that I need :D

Thanks Jerri for your extremely helpful post. Probably the biggest issue us women have are storing our heels. I really want to try those "Space Savers" to organize your shoes one on top of the other. Simple yet brilliant idea!

I'm glad you found this useful, Theresa. If you try the shoe stackers, please let me know how they work!

I store shoes in cartons that were once used for wine. The "cubbies"? you show look like a more elegant alternative. I place the boxes on the shelf above my closet rod.
Those closet organizers show so few garments! I use six-garment hangers and have a rodful of them, mostly t-shirts, turtle necks, blouses. Then some pants hangers, some two-piece items and a few dresses. I have yet to see an "organized closet" that could hold so much. (But I have a friend with a new house in which she has a walk in closet with a clothes rack that moves electrically in an oval, rather like what some dry cleaners have.
Anyway, I mainly wanted to share the "wine carton" idea.
- September 29, 2009 at 11:31:00 PM PDT
- Jeri Dansky said...
Thanks for sharing, Beverley; it's good to remember there are low-cost (and green) alternatives to buying specialty storage products.
- October 18, 2009 at 6:12:00 PM PDT
- goldfine said...
I just stumbled upon your blog and I have to say that I have recently discovered the magic that is the shoe organizer. My shoes used to be a chaotic mess on the floor of my clost which worked okay...until our new dog came along and decided to pare down my collection with his sharp little teeth. Actually, having him has made me be tidier because anything left out gets shredded! And I'm finding that I really like the over-the-door model that I have because I can see all my shoes and I never lose them!

Something else we have in common.. The Eagles!.. I like your version but I sure like the acoustic version they did http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjCbDYHnsLM.. I have a "driving" CD that started out as a cassette tape and now is a CD, starts with Hotel California, then life in the Fast lane, then goes on from there. I found out I can't fire it up till the road is clear in front of me.. The ole Foot Gets real heavy.

Hi John,
From the shadow of the panels, it looks like you get a very low sun angle late in the day.
Maybe you could dig a little slope, so the two front wheels of the solar panels drop down a bit when you move them into the evening position?
- July 11, 2009 at 2:28 AM

You can't go wrong with a bit of the Eagles.
I like the idea of adjustable pannels, we get so little sun here in London, every bit helps.

Looks like you are now really making progress on your greenhouse. Last summer I visited Fort Davis and was amazed at the large collection of greenhouses just south of Fort Davis. Must be the largest in the entire state of Texas. I got some of their tomatoes from Alpine and they were great. I would like to viist the Fort Davis greenhouses if allowed. Have you visited the area?

Nice trumpet intro, Im 40 something and never heard it before. If I did, maybe I wouldnt have given up the trumpet after high school.
Ive been out to the ranch before and even bought property from DB Smith(Rip).I found a little cooler and more treed chunk of heaven in Arizona and am on my way to do what your doing. I will start posting on your blog and add some stories about my Alaskan homesteading experience in the future. til then,,,

One of the beauties of living out in the desert with scant few neighbors is you can practise all day and no one protest.
Oh but hey you do have an HOA :)
Good luck with the trumpet.
- July 11, 2009 at 8:08 PM
- Winterchill said...
John is the HOA in the desert as big of a pain in the rear as they are in the city?
Or do you really want to discuss them on a public blog?
- July 11, 2009 at 8:10 PM
I'll answer that one, I bought some property in the ranch and the main thing was the special assesment (money) they wanted, they just take care of the roads and lots of politics. but I hear they lost there battle and the lodge is shut down now ( no more cabins to rent and the pool/laundry closed. other than that they really only made sure the roads were graded sort of. they are not much of a hoa compared to others , the main reason is the texas land use is very liberal out there.
In parts of Arizona its the same way. you can build what you want and do what you want.
- July 11, 2009 at 11:48 PM
- Winterchill said...
Hey Marc, thanks for that response. I am not a fan of HOA's at all.
I used to work with an organization in Arlington that was an umbrella group for all the Arlington HOAs and lets just say I saw some stuff that was just over the top in being mean and hateful. And over stuff that was just crazy.
Now I am living in a nieghborhood without one and with people who are the nicest most easy going down to earth people on the planet.
- July 12, 2009 at 10:35 AM
yw winterchill, I am not a fan of people who think they need to tell me how to live either(HOAs)when I lived in Alaska only those who lived in the cities had those. The problem is the Hoa in terlinga could be a good thing if it only focused on the lodge and roads. They dont do a good job with either.If I lived out there, Id volunteer to grade the roads on my spare time and even help out with repairs on the lodge. Unfortunately the HOA is really just a way to extort money from land owners to be able to provide an income for parasites. What is a parasite? anything that sucks value and gives little or no return back to its host.
next post Ill try to be a little less jovial. ha ha

Hi Marc,
In May of 1989 i was staying around Alpine, Texas and was looking for vacant land to buy around the area. I visited Terlingua Ranch to look for property. They had this lodge building and the guy in charge was using a computer to organize a mailing list of current property owners for the purpose of contacting people to update their delinquent association dues or something like that. They had a map on the wall with available lots for sale. I had the money to pay cash at the time if i found something interesting. It did not work out. After spending a couple days there (i slept in my 1966 chevy station wagon) the manager told me that my car did not meet their standards for speed or ruggedness on the dirt roads - i should buy something like a Chevy Suburban so i could drive real fast down the dirt roads like they all did. I did not like the people running it (Terlingua Ranch) so i left to go to Montana without buying anything. You mentioned you bought land in Terlingua Ranch. Do you still own it or did you sell it?
You mentioned that there are counties in Arizona where you can build pretty much anything you want. Do you know which counties those might be?
- July 15, 2009 at 10:12 PM
Im sure theres are few good people in the Hoa now. But the lodge is closed down.
many counties in Arizona are unrestricted. yavapai is one.

Thanks Marc,
I share some of your values that's why i
asked you. 20 years ago i visited some
Arizona counties - like Apache, Navajo,
Coconino counties and (some others probably) looking for land to live on in a shed or small travel trailer! I'd visit the court house located in the county seat town and check to see if they followed the "Universal building Code" or something like that. None of my efforts worked out. Nothing developed. Oh well, thanks for the info.

Align Boy Scouts policies with their values: Our view
Wednesday's anticipated vote by the Boy Scouts of America on whether to drop its national ban on openly gay scouts and leaders has taken on all the trappings of culture-war politics: liberal petition drives, conservative e-mail campaigns, corporate pressure, prayer vigils, and opinions expressed everywhere from the Texas statehouse to the White House.
But what the decision really comes down to is one simple question: How should an organization that preaches kindness and honesty treat individuals?
OPPOSING VIEW:Don't compromise timeless principles
Individuals such as Jen Tyrrell, an exceptional Cub Scout den leader who was ejected from her Bridgeport, Ohio, post last year because she is a lesbian.
Or Jon Langbert, of suburban Dallas, who says he was dumped in 2010 as a fundraiser for his sons' Cub Scout pack after another father said a "gay guy" couldn't run fundraising.
Or James Dale, an exemplary Eagle Scout and assistant troop leader, who was forced out of Scouting in 1990 after leaders in New Jersey discovered from his comments in a newspaper that he was gay.
Dale fought his dismissal all the way to the Supreme Court, losing when the court ruled in 2000 that as a private organization, the Scouts have a constitutional right to exclude gays. Freedom of association, the court held, presupposes a freedom not to associate.
And so it does. But even as Scouting has clung steadfastly to its exclusionary policy, the country has changed, leaving Scouting on the wrong side of history. Other youth groups have successfully adopted non-discrimination policies. Two years ago, the U.S. military dropped its "don't ask, don't tell" policy.
Wednesday, Scouting has another opportunity to bring its policies in line with its values. The proposal before its board — to end the national ban and let each local unit decide — would be a major step forward.
Yes, some groups would continue to discriminate against gays, and we'd like to see the Scouts go even further. But for an organization that reaffirmed its anti-gay policy as recently as seven months ago, the compromise on the table would be major progress, and local option gets around one insurmountable obstacle.
About 70% of troops are chartered to faith-based groups, including the Catholic Church, which condemns homosexuality as a sin. Forced to welcome openly gay Scouts and leaders, some groups would end their Scouting affiliation, seriously weakening an organization that has benefited generations of boys. Better to allow the units seeking to end bias to do so — and hope, with time, that more will follow suit.
Perhaps the most obnoxious argument against a policy change is that it would lead to an explosion of sexual abuse. Those who hold that view might want to consult the American Psychological Association, which states, "Homosexual men are not more likely to sexually abuse children than heterosexual men are."
Or they might want to think about Penn State's Jerry Sandusky, who on paper would have appeared the perfect Scout leader: Husband and father. Football coach. Counselor for troubled youths. Everyone now knows what horrors that image hid.
Even with its anti-gay policy firmly in place, Scouting has seen its share of pedophiles, including many it failed to report to authorities, according to documents released last year after court battles.
Scouting has a proud history, one that has shaped many political, corporate and community leaders. The Scouts' law — which includes being courteous, kind and helpful — should no longer be blemished by the organization's anti-gay stance.

Theme World: Aquatica's Big Tease
Your home for theme park and tourism news
Welcome to Local 6 Theme World
November 12, 2013
Aquatica's Big Tease
SeaWorld's water park is continuing its social media push to raise buzz for its 2014 addition.
They were hoping to make a splash by using #NothingTaller on Twitter yesterday announcing something this morning at the precious time: 9:10am on 11/12/13.
I have to wonder what this teaser campaign really is getting them.
The "announcement" came on Aquatica's Facebook page.
Don't strain your eyes, It reads "Get ready to brave a watery free-fall at Aquatica Orlando's all-new water thrill slide coming in 2014 - Ihu's Breakaway Falls. The drop slide will be the tallest, steepest and only multi-slide ride of its kind in Orlando.
The slide is named after Ihu, Aquatica Orlando's colorful gecko, who searches for the biggest thrills, steepest hills and the coolest spills in the waterpark."
Then a link to a YouTube teaser video (embedded below). This is the second teaser video for what is basically a new slide.
Here are the highlights:
Three People drop out of sight n early simultaneously -- plus the attraction's logo and the #NothingTaller is back.
Now I get that social media pushes have become a big thing with our local parks. Universal famously used FaceBook for its Transformers announcements. But I know from experience hearing from our news viewers that no one loves a tease.
Here's what Aquatica's sister park did with social media instead for its 2014 attraction.
Water Country Safari at Busch Gardens Williamsburg posted on its page a YouTube video that actually shows the ride and you hear from the designers on why they think Colossal Curl will be a thrilling addition.
Here's the video so you can see for yourself.
They also posted a link to a web page on the new slide.
Which approach gets you more excited about these new attractions? I know my answer.
Here's a link to my most recent Theme World blog entries.
Keep your emails, questions, tips and comments coming! I always appreciate the feedback.

Hello again forum family, I keep my purple period rolling on :D
This time wanna share with you my version of Eilluvasheth. Beingi n my purple phase the dominant color is purple, and what's better than a gold armor to complement it?
So I've tried to paint it in NMM to challenge me as NMM is out of my comfort zone. Still I'm trying to figure out where to place the shines and to maximize the contrast, but in the end I'm pretty happy of her, also considering that this lady is full of tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiny details
Also i'm trying to pump the shadows instead of the hi-lights to maximize the purple contrast, just to avoid it to look pink.
Hope you'll like her :)
Now, nipples are covered in armor, but to avoid mods to delete the pics, I'll link the front one.

'Tis the season! I posted this a while ago before is got paint on him. Santac'Laus has featured in the Christmas one-shot games I've run for the last couple of years (and this year is no exception). He's gone from villain to lovable (but weird) friend, who rides a manta-ray-shaped sleigh, pulled by a team of beholders.
If you're one of my players, please don't read the spoiler!
The hat, sack and present were all made with green stuff. The snow was made with snow powder mixed with water effects.

Hello forum family, I wanna share with ya all my most recent fatigue: Marthragul!
I was in doubt if painting it into a realistical Earth dragon, or something more colourful... The Magenta won! :D
And I chose to don't cut corners, so no drybrush, no washes, no feathering... just dear, old layering, shading and glazing
...cause I'm a fast painter, as you know
And, yeah! This took me almost a month of at least two hours per day... basically I hate this dragon now
Enough talking, time for pics :D
I really hope you like it, if you have any question do not hesitate :)

Carahsoft Technology and the Defense Connect Online (DCO) Team recently announced that the newest release of the DCO Connect Mobile App is available for iOS devices for free at Apple's App Store. This follows the recent release of the app for Android devices. So now even more Defense Department employees and military personnel can collaborate securely online.
The new app allows users to start and end meetings, manage participants, control all active pods, present content, videoconference and use emoticons for such actions as raising a hand and agreeing or disagreeing. It supports the iPad, iPad2, iPad3; iPhone 4 and 4 S; and iPod touch (third-generation minimum recommended). It runs on iOS 4.3 and later versions, although DCO recommends Version 5.x or higher.
DCO was launched in 2007, after the conclusion of a typical pilot period. During the pilot, however, leaders discovered that DCO was being used daily by many employees and so decided not to shut it down, perform an assessment, and re-launch — as is typical for a pilot program. Instead, DCO was kept running, and it has been running ever since.
Since then, the level of usage has climbed to staggering levels. In 2012, Carahsoft logged more than 562 million minutes of Web conferencing, including both non-classified and secret-level uses. That's one minute for every attendee, assuming a meeting with 20 participants will rack up 20 meeting minutes for every actual minute that passes.
Even so, that massive figure would be equal to more than 1,069 people attending a solid year-long meeting. Of course, with over 800,000 users, the meetings they actually had were probably a lot shorter.
With the new mobile-based apps and possible cloud implementation in the future, it's only going to expand from there. Users can find out more about DCO as well as get success stories and tips on how to use its features at its Facebook page.
