Learn Ruby With the Edgecase Ruby Koans
The Koans walk you along the path to enlightenment in order to learn Ruby. The goal is to learn the Ruby language, syntax, structure, and some common functions and libraries. We also teach you culture. Testing is not just something we pay lip service to, but something we live. It is essential in your quest to learn and do great things in the language.
The Structure
The koans are broken out into areas by file, hashes are covered in about_hashes.rb, modules are introduced in about_modules.rb, etc. They are presented in order in the path_to_enlightenment.rb file.
Each koan builds up your knowledge of Ruby and builds upon itself. It will stop at the first place you need to correct.
Some koans simply need to have the correct answer substituted for an incorrect one. Some, however, require you to supply your own answer. If you see the method __ (a double underscore) listed, it is a hint to you to supply your own code in order to make it work correctly.
Installing Ruby
You must have a version of Ruby installed in order to run the Koans. Please take the time to download a version of Ruby that best suits your needs. The koans use features that are built into the ruby language so many ports of the Ruby Interpreter will run the koans without additional configuration or hacking. If you're unsure which version of ruby to install, the one click installer of MRI (Matz Ruby Interpreter) in the 1.8 series is probably perfect to get started.
If you're interested in running the Koans (or any other Ruby programs) in multiple Ruby versions then you'll probably want to download "Pik" which is a ruby package manager for windows ( http://github.com/vertiginous/pik ) which is based on the *nix tool RVM ( http://rvm.beginrescueend.com ).
So, follow this link and download any of the 1.8 packages: http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=167&release_id=42563
Download it and double click the installer. This will place all the ruby libraries and executables into a directory on your local machine. If you happen to forget to tick the box that asks if you wish to alter your PATH variable (where the command line looks for programs to run when you're typing commands) then you can do that manually by:
- Find where you installed Ruby (usually C:\Ruby)
- Right click on My Computer (or the recent windows equal) and click "Properties"
- On the advanced tab click the button "Environmental Variables"
- Add "PATH-TO-RUBY\bin;" to the beginning (or end, or whereever)
Now open a command prompt and type "ruby -v" if you get a response and no error, then you've done it! Now that you have ruby installed you'll need to pull down the koans.
- Unzip to C:\oss\ruby_koans
- Open command prompt (start > run > type "cmd" hit enter)
- run (based on step 1) "cd C:\oss\ruby_koans"
- run "rake"
What Editors Can I Use?
You can really use any editor you'd like, but here are some suggestions:
The Path to Enlightenment
You can run the tests by calling the path_to_enlightenment.rb file.
In your terminal, while in the ruby_koans directory, type:
C:\oss\ruby_koans > ruby path_to_enlightenment.rb
Red, Green, Refactor
In test-driven development (TDD) the mantra has always been red: write a failing test and run it, green: make the test pass, and refactor: look at the code and see if you can make it any better.
With the koans, you will need to run the tests and see it fail (red), make the test pass (green), then take a moment and reflect upon the test to see what it is teaching you and improve the code to better communicate its intent (refactor).
The very first time you run it you will see the following output:
C:\oss\ruby_koans > ruby path_to_enlightenment.rb
(in /Users/person/dev/ruby_koans)
cd koans
Thinking AboutAsserts
test_assert_truth has damaged your karma.
You have not yet reached enlightenment ...
<false> is not true.
Please meditate on the following code:
./about_asserts.rb:10:in `test_assert_truth'
mountains are merely mountains
You have come to the first error. Notice you are told where to look for the error:
Please meditate on the following code:
./about_asserts.rb:10:in `test_assert_truth'
You then open up the about_asserts.rb file in your text editor and look at line 10:
# We shall contemplate truth by testing reality, via asserts.
def test_assert_truth
assert false # This should be true
You then change false to true and run the tests again. You should get a new error.
Before moving on, think about what you are learning.
In this specific case, ignore everything except the method name (test_assert_truth) and the parts inside the method (everything before the end). The goal is for you to see that if you pass a value to the assert method, it will either ensure it is true and continue on, or fail if in fact the statement is false.

A special thanks to Mike Clark and Ara Howard for inspiring this project. Mike Clark wrote an excellent blog post about learning Ruby through unit testing. This sparked an idea that has taken a bit to solidify, that of bringing new rubyists into the community through testing. Ara Howard then gave us the idea for the Koans in his ruby quiz entry on Meta Koans (a must for any rubyist wanting to improve their skills). Also, "The Little Lisper" taught us all the value of the short questions/simple answers style of learning.

- HBM is now represented in India with its own branch office, pursuing its international growth strategy
- Acquisition of its long-time representative "Integrated Process Systems". Customers benefit from long-term know how of proven sales team
- Reaction to substantially increasing demand for high-tech products in India.
HBM strengthens its presence in India with new branch office
Darmstadt, Germany - August 1, 2016. HBM Test and Measurement is now represented in India with its own branch office. The provider of high-quality sensors, amplifiers and software thus responds to the substantially increasing demand for high-grade technology products in the Indian growth market.
Thousands of engineers in India already benefit from HBM test and measurement equipment used, for example, for component and function tests in the automotive industry, at universities, in aerospace and weighing technology.
With the acquisition of "Integrated Process Systems" (IPS), its long-time representative in India, HBM sets the course for the company's continuing growth in the important Indian market. "Our customers benefit twice from the new branch office," explains Mike Johnson, HBM Sales Director for Western Europe, India and Australia.
"On the one hand, they can rely on the know-how of our long-time partner IPS's proven sales team. On the other hand, they now are more directly and swiftly linked with the global HBM engineering sites' decision and production processes."
IPS was founded by Stephen Pragasam in 1982. The 15-strong staff has ample application and product experience in the Indian market. The headquarters of the new company called "HBM India" (a division of Spectris Technologies Pvt. Ltd) will remain in Chennai, an industrial metropolis in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Sales engineers are present at different sites throughout the whole country.
For several years now, HBM has successfully pursued a consistent international growth strategy. With the new branch office in India, HBM is directly represented in 29 countries including many emerging markets such as China and India. The company's 9 development and production sites are in Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, Portugal, the USA and China.

April 2011 Hometown Hot Rodding
Got a car you want the world to see? Send specs and pix to firstname.lastname@example.com
'73 Datsun 240Z
Jim Wells Pleasanton, California
Born into a motorsports-fanatic family, it was easy for Jim Wells to follow suit and grow up to own several big-displacement American cars and trucks. Recently, Jim had an eye on this particular Datsun 240Z. The owner refused Jim's offers to buy for two years before finally caving. The car was in good shape, minus that there were several layers of paint that were now faded and chipped away. Jim stripped the car to the metal and painted it Dodge Patriot Blue. Getting the small-block Chevy to fit was a cinch, but the big 700-R4 transmission was a different story. Originally equipped with a slim-line manual, the tunnel wasn't meant to fit an automatic of that size. Being a mechanic himself, Jim only saw it as a challenge. Now he has a show-quality 240Z with a 357-inch, aluminum-headed, roller-cammed small-block ready to go for the autocross or road race course. Next on Jim's list is a DeTomaso Pantera. It looks like Jim has a thing for domestically powered imports!
'61 Chevy Bel Air
Larry Nirenberg Newton, Massachusetts
Most people get the car bug from their father or an uncle, but Larry Nirenberg got the enthusiasm for fast cars from his dad's ice cream plant manager. The lineup of cars Larry has had since his early days is longer than most people's grocery list. He's had some oddball cars and really wanted something with a Chevy 409 that he could order parts for rather than hunting them down at the junkyard. He found his dream '61 Bel Air in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, thanks to the Internet. Larry flew out to look at the car in the shop it was built. There were a couple things Larry wanted changed like the color of the roof and a brake upgrade, which the shop did right away. When it was done, Larry and a friend went up with a big truck and enclosed trailer to bring her home. After an hour at customs, they got someone who understood the laws about importing an American car back to America and they were off. Since its return to the States, the 409 got an EFI system and complete engine rebuild. Suspension is equally upgraded with Global West control arms, Hotchkis sway bars, VariShock adjustable shocks, and lowering springs to go along with the SSBC brakes.
'63 Chevy Nova
Al Cook Burlington, Ontario, Canada
When you hear 1963, you think of an old car, but this is actually the youngest car to occupy Al Cook's garage. Al usually sticks to '30s Ford coupes and other pre-'48 hot rods, but three years ago he picked up this California-born Nova. It was all original including the four-lug drum brakes and bubbling quarter-panels. First things to go were the hubs, which were traded in for a four-corner five-lug conversion with disc brakes up front. The quarter-panel bubbling couldn't be ignored any longer, so he and his car club buddy replaced both quarters, then sent the car to a shop to paint it the current VW color, Reflex Silver. The car was beautiful but still didn't handle the way he wanted, so he got CPP's mini subframe with tubular control arms to tighten the front end. He digs this modern handler and will be cruising the small-block-powered Nova with his wife for many weekends to come.
'69 Chevy Camaro
Craig Worm Kearney, Nebraska
So you thought legit barnyard finds were just a figment of your imagination? It was a reality for Craig Worm of Kearney, Nebraska. A barn held this matching-numbers '68 RS Camaro with the original 327 and faded Daytona Yellow paint. Craig was determined to do everything he possibly could himself and that's exactly what he did. He painstakingly restored the car to its original glory but left the paint and bodywork to the experts who brought it back to Daytona Yellow. He cruised the car for years as a show-only vehicle, but became tired of that routine. Craig spent a lot of time on Lateral-G.net and Pro-Touring.com where he had been fighting the urge to convert his car to something a little more fun to drive. Finally, he set his car up for the real world of driving with Hotchkis' TVS system. It's all bolt-in, so he can always return it to stock. Now Craig is actually having fun with his car on the road course and Goodguys' Street Challenge Autocross, instead of worrying about it being totally correct.
Mothers Picture Perfect Award
This is the place to show off your pride and joy to the rest of mankind, so we figure those readers who took the time to capture a really cool shot of their hot rod should get a little bonus. Mothers agreed, and decided to come to the party with some freebies for the best picture submitted to PHR.
Each month, the editors at PHR will sift through the images and pick the one with the best composition, lighting, and overall quality. The winner will get a cool assortment of Mothers products to keep his or her ride looking nice and shiny. Mail us a CD with digital images in JPEG form, along with a written description of your car. Remember that digital images need to be 300 dpi, and the bigger the image, the larger it can run. Also, be sure to include info on the car, along with your name and address. Good luck!

That's interesting because Bob used an Ashley SC-50 in his rig which is, most certainly, a compressor. Are we sure about this??? It sure sounds like he's using it to me.racecar wrote:I always was of the strong opinion that Bobby used compression.
When I attended DSO School, I had the opportunity to sit with Rob Eaton at length to discuss gear and tone. To my stunned amazement, he told me that Bobby did NOT use compression, but used the limiter portion of the Ashly unit. Rob actually told me compression is BAD for what I am trying to accomplish (approximation of Bobby tone). He helped me with my amp and effects set up and was able to take my little Roland and bring out the best in it. I have removed the compressor (Empress, which I find to be the most natural) from my board. Since the summer, I have not used compression and I do not miss it. There are places it could help, but overall my tone improved without using compression. I now run a stereo set up using a Roland JC120 head and two separate 12 in cabs and I do use a boost to get a bit more oomph when needed. But compressor is a thing of the past for me....... what I thought was the gospel, turned out to be a false reality for me.....and yes, I was stunned....but I realized Rob was right once I worked on the settings . I truly don't miss the compressor. May use it down the road again but since Sept, I have readjusted my thought process and set up to be compressor-less. And I am a happy camper so far.

Hi.. I took the software from Jason's VFD clock and ported it to the ice tube clock. http://www.vonnieda.org/tc18
Not a strict port, because I am now using an atmega328 (Solarbotics Ardweeny) and an i2c RTC chip. For my application, I needed a clock that was very accurate and long backup battery life (because I turn off all power except refrigerator when leaving the house). Being able to control the display via serial is a plus because I have some hacked routers that speak serial and later I might want to use NTP to sync time.
Video demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-hwaGUowrg
- Didn't want to have to solder/de-solder anything from the stock ice tube clock board
- Made the ardweeny with just the FTDI headers.. tried to make it as low profile as possible using right angle headers
- Burnt Arduino Pro 3.3V 8mhz bootloader on ardweeny
- Set fuse to use 8Mhz internal OSC
- On ardweeny, Used pads for decoupling cap for power header for RTC
- got to i2c pins somehow.. they are actually broken out nicely on the ice tube clock PCB, but didn't want to touch them because I wanted a "drop in chip" solution
- Somehow the monstrosity fit under the tube nicely.
Additional notes:
4 pin headers easily pass through the battery cutout.
Most of the software is a merge between Jason's and Ladyada's code. Jason's being the base since it was already in arduino and used the same RTC chip. If something looks like awful code.. its probably mine, sorry.
The timer0 is used for the boost converter, so don't use the Arduino delay() function.. use delay2() instead.
Don't put a backup battery in the clock, the battery should backup the RTC chip.
Serial is 9200 buad, everything displayed is echoed via serial. Can be commented out.. but not really hurting system.
There are 2 analog pins not used (A1 + A2).. want use them for auto dimming later.
Now back to Final Fantasy XIII addiction.

Hi Eric, I like your pictures. I hope that you are fine. Greetings to Lou. Affectionately, Allyson
Like your books. We need more authors to show postitive images of unions when they write. Without unions there is no middle class.
Hi there , Boy I am a 45 year old man and have been a reader all my life . I started out on Edger Rice Burrows . I devowerd all his fiction . I have never been good at writing … Cant spell . LOL And the core group of writers I now just die for there new books to come out . ( the waiting for ) Are you Drake , Weber , Sterling , White , and on on on . I love the pictures and stuff on this sight I am not real savy with computers but I try . I would love it if you put up some more picts of the other writers you have teamed up with over the years … And also I would love a audo-graphed pic If there Is anywhere I could write to for one ?
And I wish I could do what you do with words … I have always dreamed of writing and have a very grate imagination for gaming . I have run gaming groups for 25 years and people have said that to me alot about me writing and all … My brother and a freind of his co-wrote a book but it realy should have seen a editor becoase there was alot wrong with it and needed a lot of re-rights before It was published …. Well a big fan here , Steve
A note in the back of the Grantville Gazette V says "Images from the Grantville Gazette" are to be found at this site, but I followed the directions to the best of my ability–there is no blue menu at the top, nor yellow menu at the left–and found none.
I have been enjoying the whole series, except that I have not seen the parts of the Gazette which are not available in book form. Can I get them on a Kindle, and if so, how?
If you are going for best contents like myself, just pay a quick visit this web site everyday
since it offers feature contents, thanks
I must say it was hard to find your site in search results.
You write great content but you should rank your website higher in search engines.
If you don't know how to do it search on youtube: how
to rank a website Marcel's way
This is very well composed. The blog post was helpful to elocutionists who have a good worth for articles. We look forward for even more of the very same. He has outlined each and every little thing extremely well and in brief.

I agree on Shugart who is also a great student I hear.
I have no clue. Seems like our kind of kid. Maybe not quite athletic enough to play OLB and a tad small to play ILB? I don't know.
I just know it's really hard to know all the ins and outs from the bleacher seats. I typically gauge the quality of prospect by the other schools that also want him. FU in my book is pretty good company.
I too get frustrated by kids I see that we pass on.

As you can see, I have not done much to this site over the past year. Most of my online energy has gone into other places, mainly Facebook. And even my FB postings have waned; I'm just not convinced that posting my "status" is all that interesting. So, maybe it is time to re-energize this site. I love the flexibility and permanency of it, and though I know blogs are not as popular as they once were, maybe keeping my own cite in better shape is still a good idea. What do you think? Is anyone interested in a Frank Markow site? And if so, what would you like to see me post more of? Here are some things I could post:
– Leadership issues – my take on the latest and greatest thinking and trends, as well as commentary on social issues as they pertain to leadership
– Music – I could keep my own music better posted, and maybe some info / commentary on music tech and other things I keep up with
– or …???
So if you ever read this, let me know. Thanks,

SYLVANIA, Ohio — The head-to-head duel between Beatriz Recari and Paula Creamer in the final round of the Marathon Classic on Sunday was great theater.
Don't be surprised if there's a sequel.
Recari rolled in a 12-foot birdie putt on the 14th hole to take the lead for good and hung on to hold off Creamer for her third LPGA Tour title.
They started the day tied and spent most of the day trading the lead — as if it were match play. The duel in the heat in suburban Toledo might have been foreshadowing for when both players participate in next month's Solheim Cup at the Colorado Golf Club, Recari for the European side and Paula Creamer for the United States.
"Back and forth, back and forth," Recari said of their Sunday showdown. "It totally felt like the Solheim Cup."
Recari and Creamer, who won the tournament then known as the Jamie Farr Toledo Classic five years ago, started the day tied for first, three shots ahead of their nearest pursuers. They traded the lead — never separated by more than one stroke — and were still even until Recari birdied the par-3 14th.
The 26-year-old Recari closed with a 5-under 66 to finish at 17-under 267. She missed a 6-foot birdie putt on the 17th, but made a clutch 5-footer for par at the 18th.
Creamer, who was seeking her 10th career win and first since the 2010 U.S. Women's Open, finished with a 67. She said she gave it everything she had.
"My goodness, there were so many great shots played today," Creamer said. "Do I wish I could go back and maybe change a couple of things here and there? Yes. But I played great. Beatriz just played one shot better."
Jodi Ewart Shadoff (66) shared third place at 13 under with Lexi Thompson, who shot a 67 and had a hole-in-one that won the 18-year-old a car.
Next came Angela Stanford (67) and Jacqui Cocolino (70) at 19 under. Meena Lee had the day's low round, a 62, and was with amateur sensation Lydia Ko (68), Toledo-born Stacy Lewis (64), Jennifer Johnson (66) and Chie Arimura (71) at 9 under.
Playing in the same threesome, Creamer took the lead twice with birdies — on the third and fifth holes — and each time Recari came right back with a birdie on the next hole to knot things. At the seventh hole, Creamer hit her approach to 6 feet and appeared to have a certain birdie, but Recari rolled in a 15-footer before she could.
Still in lockstep through 13 holes, there was a lot of fireworks on the 181-yard, par-3 14th. Recari hit her hybrid to 12 feet and Creamer's shot ended up 25 feet away. The third member of their group, Thompson, the budding 18-year-old American star-in-the-making, then holed her 6-iron to win a new car. She slapped high fives with her caddie, then happily accepted congratulations from everyone along the rope line all the way to the green.
After Creamer almost rolled in her lengthy birdie putt, Recari took the lead for good by making hers.
The two then traded birdies at the par-4 16th. Creamer's wedge to the green left her just 3 feet away, but Recari rammed in a 25-foot uphill birdie putt to negate Creamer's eventual 3 on the hole.
"I had a really good read," Recari said. "I stroked it and the hole got in the way."
The drama continued at the 17th, the first of back-to-back par-5 closing holes.
Creamer laid up with a wedge. Recari then pulled out a hybrid and uncharacteristically went for the green, pulling it slightly to the left where it ended up in the rough. Creamer then hit a wedge to 12 feet and Recari skied a flop shot that ended up 6 feet away. But after Creamer barely missed on the low side, Recari missed a chance to stretch the lead to two shots when she pushed her birdie try.
"In all that golf out there, it's kind of funny how it all comes down to the wire," Creamer said.
At the par-5 closing hole, Creamer found trouble in the trees to the left off the tee, but recovered to hit her second into light rough on the right side. Both then misfired on their approach shots, Creamer's running through the green to the first cut and Recari flying the green to light rough.
Recari chipped to 5 feet past the hole before Creamer missed her 20-foot birdie putt from the fringe.
With the tournament on the line, Recari then stroked in her par putt for her second victory of the season. In March, she won the Kia Classic in Carlsbad, Calif., beating I.K. Kim with a birdie on the second hole of a playoff.
"I was definitely shaky on the last putt," she said. "I knew I had to make it to win and avoid a playoff. A playoff is always nerve-racking."
When the Marathon Classic trophy didn't show up immediately after the awards ceremony, Recari joked she had hidden it.
"I kept it!" she said, laughing.

I'm wondering what the national policy is on having a cub scout belong to two different packs. I've seen some answers that this is allowed, one is designated the primary unit and is responsible for advancements and such....can anyone link me to or copy the section from the National policy that addresses this?
I'm a first time scouting mom and trying to get my bearings. Thanks!

Slippers for all!
Since I work at home, my slippers are my work shoes. I wear them all day, (almost) every day. So, I wear them out faster than the average person; I make and buy a lot of slippers!
|Felted Slippers by Marcy Petrini
I have a few pairs that I really like, and there are some things they have in common. They have thick soles, are tightly felted, and have non-slip bottoms. (True confession: one pair is leather with fleece innards, so they're not felted, obviously, but they fit the other criteria.)
These favorites are a mix of hand-knitted and store-bought, and one more attribute they share is that all of them are made with high-quality wool or leather.
Because I'm a slipper connoisseur, I thought I'd share some tips about knitting my favorite footwear!
Thick Soles
If you're knitting slippers that you're going to felt, make the soles extra thick. Double the yarn, or if the pattern already calls for doubled yarn, add a single strand to make three strands total.
You can also knit two soles and whip stitch them together before felting, but make sure each sole is somewhat thin—you don't want to make them so thick they become ankle-busters! That bit of extra sole will make your slippers last longer; it's so sad when your heel finally wears its way through the sole!
Firmly Felt
I make my slippers a little larger than my size and I felt the heck out of them. After they reach maximum feltness, I put them on while they're still damp and let them mold to my feet.
I know—it sounds icky, and it is a little bit. But it's worth it. I put on a thin pair of socks and put my feet in bread-type plastic bags before I slip on the damp slippers, and a space heater under my desk helps my feet stay warm during this process.
|Easy Peasy Slippers by Lisa Shroyer
|Friday Slippers, by Kristen TenDyke
Quality Yarn
Use good-quality yarn for your slippers. They'll last a lot longer if you do. My favorite felting yarn for slippers is Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Worsted or Bulky, and Cascade 220 (not superwash, which won't felt).
I do make some non-felted slippers occasionally. Since non-felted slippers don't last me as long as felted slippers do, I tend to use less expensive, but still good-quality yarn. I made Lisa Shroyer's Easy Peasy Slippers out of Plymouth Encore, doubled. I made them a little longer to account for the doubled yarn. The doubled yarn made them fit a little tighter, too, which I liked.
My sister is the proud owner of these now, and I didn't take a photo before I gave them away. They're not photo-worthy anymore because she's worn them so much!
Non-Skid Soles
Add a leather sole (available at your local yarn shop) to your slippers, or do a little DIY project to make your slippers non-skid.
There are lots of ways to do this, but my favorite is to add DAP (a plumber's caulk) to the bottoms of my slippers. I just squeeze some all over the bottom and spread it out evenly with a putty knife. I let it dry for about 24 hours (sticky side up!), and then they're ready to wear.
I've heard of other methods of skid-proofing that use puff paint that you can get at the craft store. A product called Plasti-Dip is also recommended on some knitting blogs, but I've never tried it. All of the bloggers say to use it in a well-ventilated area, so there's that to consider.
And so ends my tips for hand-made slippers. I hope you can put some of these to use.
We have a fabulous collection of slipper patterns for you, of course! You're sure to find at least one of them tickles your fancy; probably more than one. This collection includes the Easy Peasy Slippers and another of my favorites, the Friday Slippers. I love the style of those, and I think I have some of the yarn in my stash. I might just whip up a pair of Friday Slippers to start off the new year.
Get your Knitted Slipper Collection now, and treat yourself to a new pair of slips!
P.S. Are you a slipper knitter? Share some of your tips with us!

In 1875 Joseph Lucas started making lamps in Birmingham for lighting ships and homes. When the bicycle, motorcycle and car came along his company made lamps for them also. During the vintage years, Lucas 'King of the Road' products became the market leaders, being fitted to most of the vehicles made in Britain at the time. This continued into the classic period when just about every car being built in Britain was fitted with the Lucas 7" headlamp/headlight. At the time it was said that if you wanted to know how many cars were being built just ask Lucas how many headlamps they were making and divide by 2!
What is a Lucas part?
Lucas, as the manufacturing conglomerate it once was, no longer exists. The various sites were sold off or closed down (as in the Birmingham Hampton Street site). Management buy-outs and some specialist factories still exist. At the time of sale of these companies, the parent Lucas company entered into long term trade agreements, whereby those factories could continue to manufacture the same items and use the Lucas brand. Our understanding of the current ownership of Lucas is that they make modern braking components and fuel injection systems. There appear to be agreements with some companies to sell modern reproduction items using the Lucas brand, and packaging these items, in our opinion, are sometimes good, sometimes poor.
At Holden Vintage & Classic we stock a vast range of Lucas parts for classic vehicles and are a Lucas authorized distributor. Some are new old stock made by the original Lucas Company, and for some, we have the original Lucas tooling and continue production ourselves. If a part is no longer obtainable from any of these sources, what happens in the restoration industry is that new tooling is commissioned to enable copies to be made. We have played our part in commissioning new tooling for a number of Lucas items previously unobtainable, and we purchase others from suppliers who have done the same. The key thing is that through these channels, Lucas parts continue to be available for classic cars.
Some items are been re-tooled by a number of different suppliers and we always try to supply the best example available.
If you have a Lucas part on your vehicle and are seeking a new replacement, the key to identifying what you is the Lucas part number. Taking a switch as an example, it had a five/six/eight digit number stamped or moulded into the part (often this is very small). It may be followed by a letter A/B/C etc but these can be ignored.
If you enter this Lucas Part No. onto this web site in the top right-hand corner you will find out if we have it as a listed part in which case it will come with a description, picture and price. If you don't find your Lucas part listed here it is worthwhile making a telephone call as we do have stocks of other Lucas parts, at the moment not listed on this web site. We may also know that there has been a later Lucas Part No. that replaces that of the part you are seeking. Alternatively, you can browse through Electrical/Switches/Ignition and so on to find a suitable Lucas (or other) part for your vehicle.

This last year or so I have been backing up my important files to cloud. I started using SkyDrive and Windows Live Mesh. This has been great thus far. You get 5GB free and that has been adequate for me needs in the main. You can choose specifically the files and folders on your device that you want to sync with the cloud and it works seamlessly.
This last weekend though I wanted to using a cloud based backup product that would work with Windows XP (64 bit). Windows Live Mesh and SkyDrive doesn't seem to work with this version of Windows. I had received several emails from Google recently promoting Google Drive. So I tried that it worked a treat. I have it installed on my old Windows XP 64 bot laptop. My Windows 7 Laptop and my iPad and works perfectly well. You get 5GB free. One small issue is you don't seem to have the options that you have with Windows Live Mesh and SkyDrive in that you need to put the files and folders you want to sync in specific Google Drive folder. Aside from that though its great, you can share files using Google Drive and work with Google apps to if you wish. So far it has been really useful.
I know that dropbox is quite popular and even though I have an account I have not really used it just yet. What do you use and what would you recommend for backing up your important files to the cloud

Lee graduate Jennifer Daley helping girls abroad in Guatemala
TOTONICAPÁN, Guatemala
Jennifer Daley had a great career as an honors student and basketball player at Lee High School. After graduating in 2004, she went on to study government and history at Smith College, and spent time traveling, working and studying abroad in places like Paris, Geneva and the island of Guadeloupe in the French West Indies.
Despite all that, like many people in her generation, she found herself working in New York City at a job for which she is over-qualified -- waiting tables.
According a Pew Research Center study in 2010, Daley's generation, the Millennials are "on track to become the most educated generation in American history."
But at the time of the survey, 37 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds were reported unemployed or out of the workforce -- the highest share among this age group in more than three decades.
"Their entry into careers and first jobs has been badly set back by the Great Recession," the report said," but they are more upbeat than their elders about their own economic futures as well as about the overall state of the nation."
Daley, 27, the daughter of Nelson and Margaret Daley of Lee, knew she wanted something more, so she applied for the U.S. Peace Corps.
"I wasn't down in the dumps per say in New York, but it was a factor in my decision to apply," she said. "The Peace Corps has always been something that I've thought about and had in the back of mind."
"After I graduated college and went abroad, I knew I wanted to keep traveling and work with international communities. I thought Peace Corps could be the next step in my career in international work," she said.
Mostly on her own
She was accepted and assigned to work in Santa Lucia La Reforma, a rural town in Totonicapán, one of 22 regions known as departments, in the Central American nation of Guatemala. She has been there for two years, mostly on her own.
"The area I live in is in the western highlands," she said in a phone interview from Guatemala earlier this week. "When I first got to my site, I didn't know anyone, I didn't know Spanish or K'iché. I thought, how am I going to work there if I can't even communicate."
She had three months of training, but still had to overcome her own emotions of working with malnourished children, and families who must thrive often without electricity, little income and two-hour walks to the nearest school, workplace or food source.
"It's been really daunting at times. I was just making my presence known during my first three months of service, and it was lonely at times. I'm at the end of my service and it's so much sweeter now that I've gone through those challenges," said Daley.
Teaching background
Since she joined the Peace Corps with a background in teaching, Daley has been assigned to and is working for Guatemala's Healthy Schools Project. She is teaching teachers how to work with children and families through the schools to educate them about nutrition, taking proper health precautions and learning various ways of cooking.
As Daley points out, Peace Corps is hardly a "9 to 5" gig.
The volunteer minds two other community-service projects. She runs a girls group with about 15 students in grades 4 through 6, which meets one afternoon a week for about three hours. Together they practice English language skills, learn about the environment and nature, cook and play basketball.
"I also try to encourage them to continue their education," said Daley. "Where I live here, it's almost unheard of to have a girl go to school past the sixth grade."
She said the culture in the town maintains that girls and women should hold household roles and responsibilities, which she tries to also respect.
Starting a library
There have also been successes, such as when the girls painted a world map to hang in the town's new library which opened this fall -- Daley's other project.
Once feeling a bit more integrated into Santa Lucia La Reforma, Daley began talking to community members about the idea of a library, which the town did not have. From there, townspeople formed a library committee which met with the mayor, who chose and trained a librarian.
The group then worked and secured a space, furniture and partnered with an organization called Child Aid, which provides free books to rural communities in Guatemala, with materials in Spanish and indigenous languages like K'iché.
Daley is currently working to collect more materials, from books to school supplies, for the library and working with community leaders to ensure that the library, health program and girls group can be sustained after she departs the country in March.
She said that an experience like hers "teaches you to be patient, to trust in people you're working with, and the importance of being present and social" in new situations "without expectations."
Has benefited in return
Though Daley had her projects and missions, she said she's equally benefited from attending town parties and festivals, talking with members of her host family, and engaging in favorite activities like basketball and soccer with the kids.
She said as much as she's looking forward to returning home to see family, friends, eat pizza and her mother's cooking, and watch the season's change, she said she'll also miss the faces, the food and the "generosity of people who have so little and give so much" in Guatemala.
"Coming from the Berkshires and being able to leave and see how things are in different parts of world made me really appreciate the Berkshires. I'm proud of where I'm from," said Daley. "It's important to experience as much as you can so you can appreciate what you have."

Q: Do I need to do anything else to prep my pond for winter besides moving my air stones?
Melinda – Novi, MI
A: Your to-do list of fall- and winter-prep chores isn't as extensive as your spring to-do list, but you will need to do some housekeeping items before the cold weather settles in. Here is a checklist to help you complete your chores.
- Move Your Air Stones: To keep oxygen bubbling in your pond through the freezing temperatures, move your air stones into an area that's half the depth of the pond. For example, if your pond is two feet deep, position your air stones on a ledge or step that's one foot deep.
- Remove Glass: Drain, remove and store anything that has glass inside, such as your ultraviolet clarifier, pressurized filter and all-in-one filter. Keep them in a heated garage, basement or other indoor areas that won't freeze.
- Remove Ion Clarifiers: Ion clarifiers release copper, silver and zinc ions into the water to control string algae. Because copper levels are naturally higher in the winter, you can remove the ion clarifier and store it for the winter.
- Pump Protection: Whether your pump feeds a waterfall, fountain or some other decorative feature, remove it and drain all the water from the tubing. Store your pump submerged in a bucket of water inside to keep the seals lubricated.
- Nix the Netting: Before the first heavy snowfall of the season, remove your pond netting and store it until next spring.
- Quick Pick Up: Clean up decomposing debris that can cause excessive toxic gas if your pond freezes over with helpful tools such as the Collapsible Skimmer and Fish Net or ClearVac™ pond vacuum. For smaller particles, rely on Seasonal Defense® which has beneficial bacteria with barley and is designed to work in cooler temperatures.
- Switch Food: Help your fish transition to cooler temperatures by switching their diet to a wheat germ-based food like Pond Logic's® Spring & Fall Fish Food. When temperatures reach below 40°F, stop feeding them entirely. Their metabolisms will slow down and they'll hibernate for the winter
- Get Your Plants in Shape: After the first frost, remove dead foliage from your aquatic plants. Trim hardy lilies and bog plants back and move them in the bottom of your pond to protect them from the cold temperatures. If you have tropical water lilies or other temperature-sensitive varieties, make room for them inside your home to regulate the required temperature.
Not too bad for a weekend's worth of work! As soon as these chores are done, your pond will be ready for winter.

Nashville Tenn. / United States,
Shure Wireless Systems Rule "Country Music's Biggest Night"
Shure Wireless Systems Rule "Country Music's Biggest Night"
Artists and Engineers Rely on UHF-R® and PSM®1000 Systems for 46th CMA Awards
Nashville, Tenn., November 12, 2012 — Shure products took center stage at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville with several of country music's top artists and bands at the 46th annual Country Music Association (CMA) Awards show, which aired live on ABC-TV on Thursday, November 1. This year, monitor engineers Jason Spence and Tom Pesa relied exclusively on Shure PSM 1000 Personal Stereo Monitor Systems for most of the live performances in Nashville.
"The PSM 1000 system has become one of my cornerstones for providing a solid mix to the performers on this show," said Spence. "Delivering clean, dynamic audio with rock solid RF has never been better."
For this year's broadcast, Spence and Pesa used 16 channels of PSM 1000 with more than 50 receivers.
Shure endorsers, Little Big Town (Jimi Westbrook, Kimberly Schlapman, Karen Fairchild, and Phillip Sweet), who won Vocal Group of the Year, which was their first CMA Award win, performed "Pontoon" using UR2/SM58. Several other Shure endorsers also performed using UHF-R wireless systems with SM58 transmitters, including Dierks Bentley, Luke Bryan, Brad Paisley, and Vince Gill. The Band Perry also performed, although they opted for UR2/KSM9.
Most of the other performances also used Shure UHF-R Wireless and PSM 1000 systems, including those by Hunter Hayes (UR2/SM58), Faith Hill (UR2/SM58), Taylor Swift (UR2/Beta 58), Eli Young Band (UR2/SM58), Brantley Gilbert (UR2/SM58), Keith Urban (UR2/SM58), Kenny Chesney (UR2/KSM9HS), Willie Nelson (UR2/SM58), and Kelly Clarkson (UR2/SM58).
"It's no surprise to me that a majority of the artists on this show are relying on Shure UHF-R wireless systems with the SM58 capsule for their performances," said Audio Producer Paul Sandweiss before the broadcast. "The RF stability and sound quality continue to be the benchmark."
In all, the 16 channels of UHF-R and all of the PSM 1000 systems used during the evening's performances were provided by ATK Audiotek.

Customers shopping for games at the Wal-Mart in Porter Ranch, San Fernando Valley got a little more than they bargained for last night when they were blasted with pepper spray amidst scenes of commercial chaos.
Here's the thing, though; the spraying wasn't done by police or security. It was the result of one crazy woman, looking to get an edge over other shoppers.
By all accounts the store was a mess, as the video game section was "torn down", and several of the 100 people "waiting in line to snag Xbox gaming consoles and Wii video games got into a shoving match".
It was during this chaos that the woman blasted other shoppers with pepper spray.
"People started screaming, pulling and pushing each other, and then the whole area filled up with pepper spray," one shopper told the LA Times. "I guess what triggered it was people started pulling the plastic off the pallets and then shoving and bombarding the display of games. It started with people pushing and screaming because they were getting shoved onto the boxes."

Tuesday Morning Corp.'s former CEO, Kathleen Mason, is suing the home-furnishing retailer for allegedly firing her after they learned she had breast cancer. Classy!
The financially-challenged company and some of its investors have recently criticized Mason for the company's declining revenue and large third-quarter losses; one investment firm, which recently paid millions of dollars for Tuesday Morning shares, said Mason "led an extraordinary destruction of shareholder value in stark contrast to the success of Tuesday Morning's peer group."
But Mason's lawyers say that's not why she was ousted. "The board's attitude toward Kathleen changed after it learned of her breast cancer diagnosis and treatment," attorney Rogge Dunn said in a statement Friday. He also claimed that Tuesday Morning had no long-term debt and had been profitable every year Mason led the company, and that it was telling how her severance package "emphasized medical benefits."
The package also includes a 10-year consultancy clause followed by an 18-month noncompete clause, which her lawyer says means would "in effect locking her out of working elsewhere for nearly 12 years."
