What's the best shareware for PCB's?
I have been checking out some sites and can't seem to find a decent easy to use PCB application software. I'm using Design Works Pro for my schematic drawing and would like to turn it into a PCB design. Or am I better off using Word to manualy produce PCB's?
Thanks, Rino Odorico |

I BOUGHT it and then they made it freeware.
I paid $AUD395 for Easytrax in 1989 I liked it that much. Now you can find it everywhere as legitimate freeware. No schematic entry though. And is a DOS app. Plain but honest. 4 stars.

Personnaly I use PCAD 2000.
You can find evaluation of it on Pcad.com . It provide schematic edition and transfer to PCB by netlist. You have to rout it manually but you can find some autrouteur who working on it. I've learn in school to make PCB on PCAD. Theay have bought the licence for the extra Specctra PCD routeur. Work very fine. I finalise a PCB for a complete meteorologic station lead by a 68hc11 (very dense circuit). For the price ? Hum, you know I'm student soooo... If I had it at home... huuuu.... don't ask me more question. But you can find ways to get it.... as you wish.... but I've said nothing. And if you want to share your PCB files, your friends can download the free PCb and Schematic viewer.

Traxmaker is an oldie but a goodie. It is only PCB drawing however. If you search on the web you will find it.
The newer version is called Circuitmaker and it includes a PCB drawing program. Not free.
It's only audio. Member of the non modular PCB design committee |

Strong Words from Juan Ponce Enrile to Justice Serafin Cuevas
At the end of a long colloquy between presiding Senator Juror Juan Ponce Enrile and Lead Defense Counsel Justice Serafin Cuevas, the above statement was made by the Presiding Officer, in effect over ruling the Defense Motion and position on PROBABLE CAUSE in the impeachment case presently being tried by the Senate Impeachment Court.
Juan Ponce Enrile read substantial portions of Article 11 of the 1987 Constitution while Justice Cuevas relied on the Supreme Court's FRANCISCO DECISION
But here is the whole remarkable colloquy:

Corona Claims Hacienda Luisita Decision is Reason for Impeachment Against Him
Suggesting he singlehandedly prevented the payment of TEN BILLION PESOS to the owners of Hacienda Luisita, the Chief Justice Renato Corona claims in this part of an exclusive interview with Arnold Clavio just this morning, that this is the root and reason for the impeachment move against him.
Corona Wanted To Prove Justice Sereno a Liar in the Impeachment Court
Chief Justice Corona Says Associate Justice Antonio Carpio Wants His Job
In an exclusive interview broadcast on GMANews this morning, the impeached Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Philippines went on the offensive as the Senate Impeachment Court decided to accept certain potentially damaging pieces of evidence against him. But he had some interesting things to say about his fellow Justice on the High Court, Antonio Carpio. Corona claims Carpio wants to be Chief Justice and broadly hints the latter is behind "black propaganda" against him. (Corona spoke to Arnold Clavio of GMANews directly to the Public, in an apparent nod that the Court of Public Opinion is also trying his case!))
The cutting remarks of the Chief Justice against Justice Carpio give us a RARE GLIMPSE into Supreme Court in-fighting.

Impeached Chief Justice Renato Corona Speaks Out (on TV!)
The impeached Chief Justice Renato Corona on trial in the Senate Impeachment Court, has given an exclusive interview to Arnold Clavio of GMANews television, aired earlier today by the nationwide network. In the following segment, listen to the Chief Justice explaining WHY he and his wife Christina suddenly closed several bank accounts in the Philippine Savings Bank on December 12, 2011, the day the House of Representatives impeached him.

The Oath of the Senator Judges
Senate Resolution 39 prescribes the OATH or AFFIRMATION taken by Senators-Judges when the Senate is sitting as an Impeachment Court:
"I solemnly swear (or affirm, as the case may be) that in all things appertaining to the trial of the impeachment of ______ ______, now pending, I will do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws of the Philippines: (So help me God)."This oath certainly does not create any impression in me that Miriam Defensor Santiago, after having sworn the same, could be excused for culpable violations of the Code of Judicial Conduct Rule 3.04.

I'm in. Just let me know when/where you need the money.
Hey Everyone....
For those of you who have not been following the Vampire Gerbil thread in W&C, and for those of you who do not know that VG had a stroke a while back and now has a "shrinking brain" condition (seriously, he does), we are trying to set up something to get VG some assistance in going grocery shopping, etc. There is an organization called Visiting Angels and they have an office in Pahrump where VG lives.
We are wanting to have members on this list who desire to assist Dave (VG), make a contribution to the "Vampire Gerbil Guarding Angel Fund." We, The Guardian Angels, would fund the Visiting Angels to help get Dave to the grocery store, etc. Below are details.
I talked to a gal at the Visiting Angels in Pahrump and got a cost breakdown:
- 2 hour minimum @ $17.95/hr (per week)
- 10-25 hours per week @16.95
So we are talking $36 just for a trip to the grocery store and any other errands - under 2 hours. Over 2 hours, tack on another $17.95.
If we did this twice a month, that's $72.00 minimum. And it could cost a little more. If we want to have a little cushion, we would need at least 20 Bastids to step up to the plate with an upfront commitment of $60 to cover the first year and then ongoing years. No slackers allowed. This amounts to $5 a month - but to make it less of a hassle - $60 upfront to ensure Dave is covered.
If people want to contribute and make payment via Paypal, the cost would be $61.80 to cover the Paypal fee. Sorry, but I have yet to win the Lottery!
If we can't commit to that - then we need to stop this right now. I am not going to call Dave and ask him to get involved in talking to the Director of the Visiting Angels if we aren't willing to go the distance with this.
I am willing to handle the finance end to get the Visiting Angels paid and to deposit all contributions and keep the spreadsheet, etc. etc. etc. But I do not want to have to be a nag and ask anyone for money all the time. I have no problem sending out a reminder email to all the Guardian Angels, but I am not your mother.
We either commit to this or we drop it. I need a minimum of 20 members to commit to the $60 upfront and then ongoing annually for an indefinite period of time. That is $60 a year to help out a friggin' rodent.
Please ante in on this thread, or email me at:
[email protected]
When I get 20 commitments, I'll let you know. The Guardian Angels are not limited to 20 people - the more the merrier and the better!!!!
Hoping to hear a lot of "Count me in" voices.......
Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
I'm in. Just let me know when/where you need the money.
"Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity." -- Hanlon's Razor
This evening I spoke with Albert, the Director of the Visiting Angels. It turns out that he is already familiar with VG's situation! He remembers the death of Dave's wife, his stroke, etc. Apparently they were contacted a couple a times a while back about getting him help. Dave doesn't qualify for any State assistance because his disability check is over the income limit. Albert said that people who are only $30-$40 over the limit get denied assistance. I imagine it was a financial shortage why Dave was not able to get their help - he certainly couldn't pay for it out of pocket.
So I talked with Albert and explained what we wanted to do and what our monthly budget is for the next year. He seemed very intent on getting us the most services for our budget. He will meet with Dave to determine how they can best help him with grocery shopping, maybe even a little cleaning. I was very impressed that this organization doesn't just try to get as much time for their employees as possible, but they try to get the most out of every $$ for the client.
I tried to call Dave, but got the machine. I will try again later. I'll tell Dave what his friends here want to do for him, and let him know that he can call Albert, or Albert will contact him at the beginning of next week to set up an appointment with Dave.
Regarding the finances, I told Albert that I would be handling those and I would also be the point of contact. He advised against having too many cooks in the kitchen because problems can arise. I told him it would not be a problem and there would be a checking account opened solely for depositing contributions and issuing payments to them via online banking.
Albert commends all of Dave's friends who are helping him out. He thinks it is a great thing everyone is doing.
What I found comforting about talking to Albert is that he understands that Dave not only have a physical limitation, but also a mental one.
I made sure that he understood that Dave is very special to all of us and that you all collect or make knives. No threat implied.
I think I did say something like, "Don't MAKE us come out there." Nah, I didn't say that. Albert is a youngish guy, and seems to sincerely care about people. AND dogs! Anyone who loves dogs and volunteers to find them homes and volunteers at a no-kill shelter is okay in my book. So Albert's alright.
We're grooving now..............
Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
I'm in. Just PPed the money to you. Thanks for helping Dave.
I'm in too. Don't be surprised that our Paypal account has my wife's name on it. The Paypal memo has my email address for annual reminders.
I know what a stroke can do. I had a small one and got away with it pretty much intact. (TIA I think mine was called) anyway, I want to enlist. Let me know how I can add to the kitty.
email addy is real. I just checked to make sure. Family is as family does.
who's email addy is real? Mine? Of course it is. [email protected]
You can help out by sending a check for at least $60 to:
Judith Lynn Laffoon
P O Box 1198
Twentynine Palms, CA 92277-0928
I've had this P O Box for almost 17 years so they sorta know me by now.
Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
Hi Judy, I directed my Paypal payment to you via your [email protected] email account. Is that correct. Can you collect that from Paypal?
OK, now I sent it to Ren at: [email protected]
Hopefully that will work.
I'm in.
PayPal sent.
Thanks for doing this for Dave!
Can; Ritt, Dirk, Warbird_Scimitar, Jeff Clark & Bob Jenkins, all check-in on this thread and please get your wings.
I have not been reading alot of the forums lately... I am glad a friend emailed me about the wings. I just recently talked to another thinking of getting an internet hook up and 12 of us take a month... this is even better. I am in on this! I will send a check out monday to totally Judy. I never met Dave but I love him like a brother if that makes sense, I am not to sure about recognition- I ain't done that much for him. I do hope the support I and other have given brings a smile and strength to his heart.
You're awesome! Every contribution helps our cause - which is to help Dave with the basics - getting to the store to buy groceries, a little house cleaning, internet access, etc.
Thank you so much. I promise that your contribution will be put to good use.
Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
Okay, I'm in. PayPal funds sent to Ren.
How's our headcount?
Well, as of about 3 days ago, I think there were something like 37 contributors. And several of those had made additional contributions. Plus, I have maybe 4-6 new contributions that have not yet been added to the list.
So.....we will be at around 45 Angels pretty soon. And it is great that folks still are pitching in.
I can't even describe how much VG needs our help. It is beyond what I ever expected. It is overwhelming.
But I am determined to do everything I can to make Dave's daily existence better than what it is. I can't fix his problems, but I can help get his living conditions improved, and I believe he has agreed to give me a certain amount of money I have requested from his disability check so I can dole out grocery money to his throughout the month. He has to have money in order for the Visiting Angels to be able to take him shopping. So I will be buying Wal-Mart Shopping Cards and sending one each week to be used for groceries.
And none of this would be possible without the contributions of the folks on this list.
Thank you all so very much. If all goes well with the computer this week - after the new monitor arrives - I hope to have Dave online by Saturday evening. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Thanks again, Chad.
Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
Paypal payments can now be sent to my paypal address again:
[email protected]
That will cut out the extra step of Ren having to download the Paypal $$$$ and the send me a check.
I can just download the payments directly to the VG account.
Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
~ ><> ~ ~ ><> ~ This is very considerate of you T J..! Thanks very kindly for all your efforts here.
I am now immediately going to send off yet another donation to the one and only Vampire Gerbil to see if'n I can get a little something started!..
.. I would also ask that all the other forumite members to just dig down deep and wide and send in what they can right now and spread the love around on a Tuesday evening..
So please be a blessing today to one of the good guys and his kin ~ ><>

Talk:Why Haskell matters
From HaskellWiki
I wikified my old article for easier modification by the community (up until now people had to email me and then i would upload a new version -- time consuming!) --SebastianSylvan 06:48, 9 January 2006 (EST)
Hopefully I'm preaching to the choir here, but I'd just like to clarify that I'm perfectly fine with, and actively encourage, large-scale editing of this (I wouldn't put it on the wiki otherwise!). Just because it at one point was a stand-alone article with me as the author doesn't mean it shouldn't be substantially modified. For instance, the speed-section could be updated with some references to the language shootout, removing some pointless bits, etc. So go nuts! --SebastianSylvan 13:55, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
On the page it refers to Haskell's speed being better than C++ and provides a link to the programming language shootout. I don't find that when I go there. Has something changed? I'd like to see benchmarks where Haskell has performed that well, but I haven't found any. Please let me know --Kylebutt 06:26, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Ventilation for broilers
Munters utilizes sophisticated software combined with extensive experience in livestock ventilation to generate a design proposal to suit any broiler production. The resulting design will not only specify the right equipment to deliver the required airflow, but will also deliver increased profit margins for growers and farmers, here is how.
Intensive poultry production and more specifically broiler farming, requires accurately designed ventilation and climate control, in order for the broilers to convert the consumed feed into body mass (feed conversion ratio) in the most optimal way. But that is not the only reason to have a proper air exchange rate, circulation of air or heating in cold periods. The broilers health and welfare also strongly depend on this, as does the health of the staff working in the barn. By keeping the broilers healthy in a sound and closed, climate controlled environment, there is less need to give medication to broilers, which saves money for the farmer. This should also safeguard a pure product and enhance food safety. All in all a perfect climate for broiler farming provides environmental excellence, increases profits for the contract grower and gives a healthier meat product for consumers.
The environment in the barn comprises light control (regulates sexual maturity), avoiding stress for the birds and of course assuring adequate ventilation capacity and air exchange rate to maintain air quality and avoid heat stress. In colder climate zones, minimum ventilation rate is crucial to avoid suffocation of the broilers and ensure a good egg laying rate as is additional heating. Correct temperature must be kept in relation to the birds' ages, avoiding temperature swings and maintaining a uniform climate inside the barn. Ammonia emission control can be instrumental in densely populated areas to be able to expand the farming operations.
All in all the optimal climate for chickens will materialize in more money in the pocket for the farmer or grower.

Irvine man had inside view of wartime history
George Elsey was alone on duty in the Map Room of the White House one night in 1943 when British Prime Minister Winston Churchill popped his head inside asking for any news.
"We have a cable just in," Elsey responded. "The Italians have surrendered."
It was an intimate role in history for Elsey. President Franklin Roosevelt created the Map Room, a place where wartime strategies were shaped and military battles were tracked by pins on maps. Elsey, then a 24-year-old Naval Intelligence officer, was assigned there in 1942 to help receive and relay the latest top-secret information.
One morning Elsey told Churchill that three black pins, representing German subs, had just been pulled from the wall – a victory protecting Allied supply convoys to Europe.
"Three! Three!" Churchill responded, jumping up and down. "We've got him!"
There's no YouTube video of that – only Elsey's memory. In the Map Room, you couldn't even take notes.
Today, at age 95, Elsey walks slowly, but his mind still speeds. His excellent recall is a historical treasure.
In 1941, Elsey was in graduate school studying U.S. history. So he understood historical significance before he lived it.
Elsey, who lives in Irvine, describes another night, in May 1943, when he was alone on duty.
Roosevelt and Churchill entered the Map Room, debating how to attack the European mainland. The British wanted to invade through the Balkans, while the U.S. favored invading through France.
"Here I was, a kid, listening to Roosevelt, Churchill and the Joint Chiefs of Staff arguing over the principle strategy of World War II."
They argued until after midnight with no agreement.
The decision to invade France was officially settled at the first Quebec Conference among Britain, Canada and the U.S. in August 1943. Elsey attended with President Roosevelt – but thanks to cables exchanged through the Map Room, the conference confirmed what Elsey already knew.
"We knew all the plans as they were made."
On D-Day, Elsey rode on the USS Ancon to report back on the invasion.
He knew about the Manhattan Project to develop an atomic bomb long before Harry Truman found out about it after he became president in 1945. Of course, Truman hadn't been allowed in the Map Room before then, either.
When Truman attended the 1945 Potsdam Conference following Germany's surrender, Elsey went too.
"The devastation was incredible. … Berlin was just a shambles. It was obliterated."
Truman had already approved dropping the atomic bomb on Japan. They were sailing home from Potsdam when Elsey handed Truman the cable saying the mission had been successful.
"We were not surprised. … We had a press release ready."
It was a decision, Elsey recalls, without debate.
"It was not a political decision. It was a tactical decision. Of course we would use the bomb."
Elsey argues vehemently that the bomb saved lives – Japanese as much as American – because it ended firebombing in Japan and precluded a U.S. invasion.
"The Japanese should be grateful. We prevented horrendous loss of life."
In retrospect, history reads like a foregone conclusion. But it lives like a cliffhanger.
Elsey observed it from the inside out. You wonder about the seams: What did he see?
"I got a sense of the relationships between nations … the intractability of the problems facing the human race."
Churchill was approachable, Elsey recalls, but Roosevelt never even asked the aides their names.
"Truman was impossible not to like. Roosevelt was up in the clouds looking down on us. Truman was right down on the ground with us."
Roosevelt, a former assistant secretary of the Navy, was most interested in the naval campaigns.
"He would ask about 'my Navy,' " Elsey recalls. "One time General Marshall responded, 'It's your Army, also.' "
Although Roosevelt and Churchill shared a personal friendship, he says their long-term objectives were incompatible.
"Roosevelt had a grand vision for the United Nations. Churchill wanted to be darn sure the British Empire survived."
Roosevelt was not overly concerned with Soviet post-war aspirations, he says.
"He had this feeling he could 'handle' anyone. … I don't think he ever fully grasped the nature of Soviet intentions."
Elsey had a hand on the tiller, however, making sure Truman did.
In 1946 Truman asked his special counsel, Clark Clifford, for a summary of agreements violated by the Soviets. Clifford assigned the task to Elsey, who said: "Sir, that just won't do. Our problems are more basic. … We should give him more than he asked for."
Instead, Elsey spent more than two months writing a broader assessment of U.S.-Soviet relations.
"Truman read it overnight and said: 'This is so hot, it would blow the roof off the White House if it leaked.' "
There were only 20 copies of the Clifford-Elsey Report. In his bookcase, Elsey has Copy No. 3, bound and stamped: Top Secret.
From 1945 to 1949, Elsey worked with Clifford and then became an assistant to Truman.
When Great Britain announced it was withdrawing economic and military aid to Greece and Turkey in 1947, Truman decided to ask Congress for the funds. The State Department wrote a draft speech and Clifford revised it.
He passed it to Elsey.
"I thought it was OK … but it didn't have the punch to it," Elsey says. "I rewrote it to have more force. … It became a policy pronouncement."
It became known, in fact, as the Truman Doctrine: a strategy to aid foreign nations threatened by communism. It set U.S. foreign policy for the next 40 years.
Elsey laughs.
"It was transformed by the White House from a funding request into a major foreign policy statement by some dumb clerk."
Elsey, of course, was more than a clerk.
Originally a Republican, he served in the White House until the end of the Truman administration. Elsey later became president of the American Red Cross.
"I was just extraordinarily fortunate," he says of his life.
The guy who expected to teach history instead helped shape it.

Yet another batch of 13 questions stolen by stealth from all over Al Gore's creation. Has anyone told you a secret this week? Yes, and I was so excited about being trusted like that, that I immediately told the first ten people I saw. (The actual answer is no. No secrets this week, but I'm really hopeful about next week.) Have you ever given someone a hickey? ….Um…. (No, I'm NOT blushing. My face is sunburned.) Who was the last person to call you? Lovely Wife, to remind me to leave the checkbook at home for her. Exciting, eh? Do you think people talk about you behind your back? No, I do not THINK so, I KNOW so! And I'm setting up cameras and microphones and I'm going to prove it. Bwah-ha-ha-ha! Did you watch cartoons as a child? Of course. Buggs Bunny / Looney Tunes (Yosimite Sam, Wile E. Coyote, Daffy, Elmer, etc.); also Tom & Jerry, Scooby Doo, Spider Man. How many siblings do you have? Big Sister, Younger Brother. Big Brother passed away in 2001. Are you shy around the opposite sex? I'm pretty shy around everybody at first. I'm probably more shy around men than women though. I don't know baseball stats or football stats and I despise NASCAR, so to my own detriment, I assume that I have nothing to talk to other men about. What movie do you know every line to? Once upon a time, I knew Smokey and the Bandit pretty good. ("Daddy, look at that big, ugly alligator!" "That reminds me, I need to call your mama.") These days I just know a few lines from various movies. I saw Rocket Man again recently. I know a few lines from that. I like books better, I don't like my entertainment to be spoon fed so much. Yet another way I'm boring. Do you own any band t-shirts? Yes, a couple of Disciple ones. I don't go to many concerts any more, the ticket prices are ridiculous. What is your favorite salad dressing? Ranch. More boring-ness, I'm afraid. And while we're on the subject, why don't restaurants have Thousand Island any more? That was the big dog before Ranch was invented. Do you read for fun? Oh Yeah. Now we're cookin' with gas. A mix of fiction to escape the bonds of this mortal existence for a while, and technical stuff, partly to keep up with changes in engineering for work, and partly because I'm simply a geek and like math and physics related books. Do you cry a lot? No. I haven't cried in a few days now. Really though, I rarely cry, but don't you feel all fresh and renewed after a good cry? Who was the last person to text message you? I'm 44, not 14; there are no text messages in my world. I hate ALL telephones, especially cell phones and use them as little as possible. I'm an electrical engineer who has to ask Number Two Daughter how to do the simplest things on a cell phone because I don't care enough to learn for myself. I hold the frazzlin' thing upside down half the time and you expect me to be able to retrieve and possibly respond to a text message? Not gonna happen. Truthfully, |
Whatever I feel like talking about at any given time. You know. Stuff.

I enjoyed your Q&A again!!
At church one Sunday the speaker was trying to get his point across about how people needed to spend time in God's word to really get to know Him. He used a *very bad* example of how when people get a new cell phone you always pull out the manual to read it and 'get to know' your phone. EVERYONE younger than me started snickering - they just "get it", never read a manual! It's like they're born with this cell phone skill!
What books do you like to read? - 12:19 PM

So you read engineering books. I read math books...and sometimes, history books.
I wouldn't mind texting, but it can get expensive.
Entertaining list! - 11:38 PM

Has anyone told you that you are funny? Cause you are!
I only get text messages about paying my bills, too. But when we first got the phones they came in the mail and I decided to get phone numbers programmed into them before dh got home. Everytime I did something it would say I sent a text message! I was freaking out and threw the phones while my girlfriend laughed and laughed at me.
I still can barely do more than dial a phone number.
But I can blog, so who cares about anything else?
I thought about you on Thursday when I was putting $10 of gas in my van and I got $10.01 and couldn't leave it at that. I had to go for $10.50 at that point. And I made it! Whew! - 2:52 AM

susantaylorbrown |
I've been using RTM and am switching to Toodledo. I've just been playing with it today, trying to understand the basics before I move everything over and I'm feeling stumping by something that I am sure is very simple with due dates.
I was reading how you can use some prose phrases to add the due date. The way I took this to mean was that it would work like RTM. Example: In the task I would type Mail thank you note tomorrow. In RTM, that would put the due date for that as tomorrow and I thought that Toodledo would do the same thing but it doesn't. Should it or do I just need to adjust to this change? Thank you in advance. |
Jake Toodledo Admin |
Toodledo cannot yet interpret english phrases like this. What you need to do is enter the title of the task and then press tab to move the cursor to the due-date field and you can then type in "tomorrow".

About Tracy & Patrick:
We came to West Seattle in 1991, with California plates on our car (drawing an immediate warning to ditch them quick). We rented a Beach Drive condo for our first two years here, then became Upper Fauntleroy homeowners in 1993 (right across the city's official
borderline for Gatewood). We are proud parents of one son, aka "Junior Member of the Team."
Tracy's bio:
Tracy Record has worked to hunt, gather, process, analyze, and share information in a multitude of media pretty much around the clock since age 17. Most recently, she was assistant news director at KCPQ-TV here in Seattle, a position she resigned in December 2007 to work on WSB full-time. Before that, Tracy spent 2 years with the Walt Disney Internet Group in roles including executive producer of ABCNEWS.com. That followed 8 years at KOMO-TV, where she left as its first-ever executive producer of new media. Before that: TV stations, newspapers, and radio stations in California, Nevada, and Colorado, and 3 Emmy Awards along the way. She goes by "TR" too, so that's how you'll see e-mail signed. Before WSB, Tracy's experience with blog-format writing included humanspellcheck.com, which now lives on only in the Wayback Machine.
Patrick's bio:
More than 25 years ago, Patrick Sand set aside the glamour and excitement that is being an announcer at a beautiful-music station, to sell advertising. As our advertisers can attest, the experience gained since then has largely been wasted on him. Mr. Sand and a close friend also operated a small ad agency for a few years. "We thought it would be a total babe magnet," he said, "Boy, were we wrong about that."
On the Internet front, The Sales Guy has been blogging since 2000 and was one of the first 300 beta testers for TypePad, Six Apart's hosted publishing service. "Each of the blogs I maintained was such a roaring success that today I represent someone else's blog."
If you're interested in placing an ad on West Seattle Blog or hearing one of Patrick's tales of being an elevator-music DJ (all of which can never be mistaken for the stories about the time Led Zeppelin stayed at The Edgewater), please drop him a line at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 206/293-6302.
P.S. from Tracy: Patrick didn't mention it and you didn't hear it from me, but he has a journalism degree.
Junior Member of the Team's bio:
Our well-dressed creative director & graphics consultant is the only West Seattle native in the family and also is a self-taught PhotoShop whiz as well as a proud graduate of West Seattle's own Lafayette Elementary School (where Ms. Rollins, Mr. Ferris, Ms. Bloom, Ms. Turner, and others just plain rock!).

Can I post directly to WSB?
We retain editorial oversight of the site, so we are not offering direct log-ins. However, we do often post e-mailed items without much editing. Comments on existing blog posts, of course, are posted directly to the site (with a few exceptions – more on that next). And the WSB Forums are your place to start conversations or ask for recommendations, make announcements, etc. (no advertisements allowed, though). Bottom line, if you have something you want to see on the site — words and/or pictures — send it to us: firstname.lastname@example.com
What's your comment policy?
Our site is configured to hold a comment for "moderation" — till we see it and say "that's OK to go through" — if it's never seen an approved comment from that IP address before, if the comment contains more than one weblink (a potential sign of "comment spam"), or if it contains anything from a list of red-flag words we've drawn up (mostly profanities). WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO DELETE ANY COMMENT FOR ANY REASON AT ANY TIME — but we try to exercise that right very, very, very, very sparingly, since open and lively discussion is a vital component of the blog format. As moderators, we tread more lightly in discussions that involve personal philosophical choices, such as politics and religion, than in discussions involving personal traits with which people are born, such as race, gender, size, and sexual orientation. Comments that serve no purpose other than to call someone else a name or otherwise insult them are subject to deletion; criticize ideas if you must, but not the people who offer them. Comments wishing someone death or injury also are subject to deletion. Overt trolling will not be tolerated, and that's difficult to describe, so we'll just say "we know it (and delete it) when we see it." Impersonating someone else, or using multiple IDs from the same non-organizational IP address to pretend to be more than one person, also is against WSB rules, as is posting identifying/personal information about other people who did not share it themselves (that includes specific speculation on commenters' identities). To date (April 2010), we are glad to say we only have to delete a handful of comments each week – we appreciate those who care enough to follow the few rules we have, which we strongly believe keeps WSB discussion from deteriorating into the (to be frank about it) cesspools that comment threads on some other news sites are allowed to become. (Terms of service: Using this site constitutes acceptance of WSB rules, and anyone who indicates they are not willing to follow WSB rules and policies is subject to suspension or termination of posting privileges sitewide. WSB also reserves the right to suspend or terminate anyone's posting privileges for any reason at any time.)
We can't tell you how much we appreciate you reading, and participating in, WSB. In the meantime, if you have a question you think the FAQ should address, e-mail us! Or contact us any time with anything else you want to put on our radar.

Zeller scores school-record 50 in Mission Viejo romp
IRVINE - Mission Viejo forward Evan Zeller poured in a school record 50 points to lead the No. 2-ranked Diablos to a 115-50 victory over University in a pool game game of the Irvine World News Gary Raya Classic Tuesday evening at University.
The total broke the previous record of 49 points held by Travis Niesen in 2002, according to Coach Troy Roelen.
Zeller made 23 of 30 field goals in three quarters. He did not play in the fourth quarter with his team leading 94-37 going into the final stanza.
"He was really unselfish," Roelen said. "If was like a quiet 50 it seems because everything was so easy in transition on lay-ups."
The 6-foot-5 Zeller made one 3-pointer and 1 of 2 free throws.
"It's a great feeling," Zeller said of the record. "Points are points, but the most important thing is getting the win and not getting hurt and we did a good job."

ADA Info
My latest Google Searches on the casting of the Superman vs Batman movie have yielded some interesting results regarding Green Lantern. It seems as though WB is forgoing the use of Hal Jordan in favor of John Stewart as the film's lantern. This has me very excited, as my first real introduction to Green Lantern came through the Justice League cartoon series which featured John Stewart.

This week H&M taught us a very important lesson: If models look too good to be true, they probably are.
The popular retailer's press officer Håcan Andersson confirmed to Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet (via Jezebel) that the eerily similar bodies modeling their lingerie are "completely virtual."
"It's not a real body, it is completely virtual and made [on] the computer. We take pictures of the clothes on a doll [mannequin] that stands in the shop, and then create the human appearance with a program on your computer," Andersson explained of the photo shoots featured in the H&M Christmas campaign.
If that wasn't misleading enough, it's also been revealed that the "models" used for H&M's website and catalogues are actually mannequins that are given human features with photo-editing software.
To the company's credit, they did use living, breathing models in their recent shoots, but, according to New York Magazine, called them "facial models" whose purpose sole was to be added atop an already-created body.
While some may take the position that H&M's ecommerce site doing something irresponsible by possibly leading women to strive for a body that's completely unrealistic, Andersson disagrees and defend their decision with the following explanation:
"It's not about ideals or to show off a perfect body… we are doing this to show off the garments."

Powerful Solar Flare Has Limited Impact On Earth
Tuesday, August 9, 2011
The sun unleashed a powerful solar flare early Tuesday, the largest in nearly five years.
Scientists say the eruption took place on the side of the sun that was not facing Earth, so there will be little impact to satellites and communication systems.
Space scientist Joe Kunches at the government's Space Weather Prediction Center in Colorado says there were reports of brief short-wave radio disruptions in Asia, but little else.
The sun is transitioning from a quiet period into a busier cycle. Scientists estimate there will be a spike in the number of such solar eruptions over the next three to five years.
The last time there was such a strong solar flare was in December 2006.

If I buy admission to a movie and switch theaters to see a second movie (after I've seen the first movie), is this considered stealing? I have a friend who does this regularly and he says that it's not wrong. His logic is that if we pay for entrance into the theater (and sometimes at pretty inflated prices), what we choose to do once inside isn't theft. I've refused to do this with him several times, which sometimes leads to tension between us, but lately I've been wondering if I'm not being too scrupulous (something I think I have a tendency towards in general). So, would this be considered stealing? |
Answer by Catholic Answers on 9/27/2013: | ||||||||
P.J.-- Yes, it is considered stealing. Since your friend thinks he is merely buying admission to a movie complex, you might ask him to ponder then why ticket-buyers must specify which movie they want to watch when buying tickets. Why also is the ticket-buyer given a receipt that names the movie he has bought admission to, and why is he expected to show it to ushers upon request to check his eligibility to be in a certain theater? Basically, your friend has been able, so far, to get away with what he is doing. But if he is caught inside a theater with a ticket for another movie that has already played (demonstrating that he has not merely wandered into the wrong theater but is committing theft) then he will likely have to plead his case not to you or to a priest, but to cops and possibly a judge.

Sample vacation quotes
■ A hypothetical group of four adults traveling from a medium-size Midwestern city in early March could book airfare and four nights in brand-new luxury accommodations at Trailhead Lodge for about $3,300, or $825 per person.
■ The online travel booking service operated by Steamboat Resorts would route the party from Madison, Wis., through Chicago and onto a direct flight to Yampa Valley Regional Airport, arriving March 10 and returning March 14.
■ The quoted $3,300 for four adults in a two-bedroom condominium at Trailhead includes $528 in taxes and surcharges.
Steamboat Springs Resort-based business owners who hang on tight through a challenging late February and early March could be in position for a modest reward in the second half of March. That's when late spring vacations in large metropolitan school districts across the country are expected to boost spring skiing in Steamboat.
"It's going to be a challenging time immediately after Presidents (Day) weekend, and including the first and second week in March," Steamboat Ski and Resort Corp. marketing executive Andy Wirth said Wednesday. "We're seeing depressed volume in early March. Our staff is working on another round of very low airfares to drive demand for bookings inside 45 days."
Wirth is vice president of marketing and strategic alliances for Steamboat parent company Intrawest.
The 10-day vacation period from Feb. 12 to 21 that is influenced by the Presidents Day holiday will begin with a show of strength Feb. 12 to 14. The seasonal lodging forecast produced by the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association with Ski Corp. predicts that tourism levels will surpass 2009 and 2008. February tourism could peak on Valentine's Day when the aggregate lodging and second-home occupancy in Steamboat could nudge 85 percent, compared with about 77 percent in 2009 and 73 percent in 2008.
Occupancy rates are expected to dip into the 50 to 60 percent range Feb. 22 to March 7, before climbing again to the final peak of the ski season March 8 to 15, when occupancy will be close to 70 percent.
The new forecast uses mathematical modeling to take into account resort activity attributable to second-home owners, guests of full-time Steamboat residents, and even guests of second-home owners. Wirth said his staff has been able to verify that forecasts for the past 30 days corresponded closely to actual skier visits at the ski area, taking season-pass holders into account.
The softness in Steamboat's early March projections can be attributed to the general economic malaise of the country, Wirth said, but also to the fact that spring breaks in big metro areas are later than usual. Resort officials will try to fill a portion of the gap by marketing heavily on the Front Range, where vacations in Colorado's largest school districts, including Cherry Creek and Jefferson County, align with the first half of March.
"Front Range skiers turn into destination customers for us in March," Wirth said. "They don't come to Steamboat for one or two nights, they become three-, four- or five-night customers for us."
Wirth said the ski area's customer satisfaction ratings have scored high marks since the first of the year in spite of "modest" snow conditions, a bright spot he attributes to motivated employees across the resort.
Keeping that work force engaged and motivated through late March is critical, he said, because even as the ski season winds down and tourism levels begin to drop, they will remain higher than in the corresponding period in 2008 and 2009.
"This is a call to action," Wirth said, "because we're going to need those same customers again next year."

From HaskellWiki
Here you will find guidelines for editing this wiki.
Contents |
1 General principles
Please bear in mind that our first audience is those expecting a web-site on Haskell and not necessarily interested in this wiki thing. The default style, for instance, tries to make the wiki-ness as discreet as possible for readers not logged in.
2 Page structure
There shall not be a single top level section. If you divide a page into sections, please introduce multiple sections at the top level. That means, the sections should form a true forest instead of just a tree. Using a single top level section is very untypical and is also not needed for giving the whole text a headline since there is the page title for this issue.
3 Page titles
These are some guidelines for page titles:
- Page titles not only affect a page's URL but they are also shown at the top of the page. Therefore, it is important that a page title is a title, not a mnemonic path name. I strongly doubt that we need such mnemonic names but if they are introduced they should denote only redirects to the actual page.
- On the other hand, it is good if titles are not unnecessarily long so that URLs have reasonable size. Especially, redundant occurences of the word Haskell in titles should be avoided. If a page on HaskellWiki is just named Compilers and interpreters, it should be clear that it refers to Haskell compilers and interpreters, so the extra Haskell is not needed.
- Titles should use sentence-style capitalization (see [1]). Capitalizing more words seems to be only appropriate in larger documents like books. If slashes are used to denote hierarchy, each part of the hierarchical title should be handled as if it were a title itself, i.e., its first word should be capitalized.
4 Categories
In order to ease navigation in the wiki, several categories are introduced. Whenever possible, please classify your page under one of the categories. For example, if you write a page about your new project, you can add it to the by adding the following text to your page:
All known categories are here.
5 Headlines
Level 1 headlines (the ones written as = Headline =
) shall not be used. Instead, a headline which is logically at the top level shall be implemented as a level 2 headline (i.e, as == Headline ==
). The reason is that the page title and the level 1 headlines are both implemented as h1 elements in the page's HTML. They are distinguished by using different HTML classes indeed, but this distinction is too light. For example, a browser which doesn't support CSS would probably render page titles and level 1 headlines the same way.
Like page titles, headlines shall use sentence-style capitalization [2].
6 Links
Please don't use the click here approach for inserting links. Instead, formulate your text as if you would put it on paper (where the request to click doesn't make sense) and markup parts of the text (often only single words) as links.
7 Punctuation
If would be great if you would use the punctuation symbols which are used in professional documents like , and instead of their ASCII workarounds like " and -. If you use an X server with a keymap like mine, you can get and with AltGr + V and AltGr + B.
8 Editing
When editing the wiki, the bottom of the editing page has a place to put a summary. It is considered good form to put a one line comment about any changes you are making. As well, you have the capability to mark an edit as minor. Please use this only for changing format, spelling, fixing bad links or minor word re-arrangement. It should not be used when adding whole new sections, a signficant number of links, new pages or rewrites of the page.

Oh my word! Those shoes are AMAZING! Love that they're 'Kitten Heels'! Would really love a pair, just don't know if I could walk in them, can only seem to manage chunky heels. But they really are lovely. All your photos are, you seem to be such a natural in front of the lens. Do you use a tri-pod or your own photographer? I'm very new to blogging so still getting the hang of appropriate poses and ratio of photos to text. But Wild Flower is really lovely, well done.

They didn't fix anything. The cabinets were held together with kotter pins, the drawers were nailed & had nuts Read More & bolts for handles. The windows had no locks on them & the keys didn't work in the locks. Took 4 months to get a key that worked for my back lock. The windows never did get a lock on them.

The place has deteriorated greatly over the time I have been here. Broken down cars, obnoxious neighbors, lou Read Mored parties and fights, the local police department is here so often I thought they lived here. Everything is so ridiculously outdated. The windows leak, and the cabinets are falling apart. The 900+ for a 2 bedroom 1.5 bath is so not worth it. And parking is a complete joke. Tenants are only allowed 2 cars max then they have to pay, that is clearly not the case here. Run from this place.

text: Best "human realizes he's secretly a robot" scene of all timeCharlie Jane Anders5/24/10 8:30pmFiled to: found footageRobotsAndy WarholCreation of the humanoidsSusan SontagCampCheeseMovies80EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Creation Of The Humanoids is rumored to be Andy Warhol's favorite film, and camp-meister Susan Sontag extolled it in "The Imagination Of Disaster." It's easy to see why, from this scene where an anti-robot bigot realizes he's a robot.AdvertisementYou have to love the slow literalism of this scene: "I remember being a child. My hands were small! They grew bigger!" Creation Of The Humanoids has the best robots/racism allegory of all time, with tons of humans - including this secret robot - belonging to the anti-robot KKK group, the Order Of The Flesh And Blood. And the guy's sister is married to a robot, for whom she's purchased a sense of humor as an optional extra. Here is where all of Battlestar Galactica's most emblematic identity crisis scenes come from.
