Bug Fixes
Development Tools
If a while expression is unfinished, don't execute it at all.
Fixed two segmentation faults in QalculatePlotAssistant
use timer signal to cancel thread
Fail early if an ImageTagPair is created with either invalid image id or invalid tag id
There is a big problem in curves implementation if curves data are free (not smooth)
This patch add missing code to ImageCurves to factorize implementation and missing code to fillFromOtherCurves in case of free data.
In other word, to fill curves from another one using smooth data work fine, not with free data. This is reproducible with BQM Adjust curves tool.
missing to apply curves type to batch convert to B&W
remove "A tool to" prefix to all BQM tools

Fix akonadi multiuser on Windows
When two users tried to start an akonadiserver on Windows
the default NamedPipe conflicted causing akonadi to crash.
With this patch the NamedPipe will include the Windows Username
to avoid such conflicts.
Tested to work with Spaces and special characters in the Username.
Fix icons and descriptions of CDs/DVDs on FreeBSD
HAL on FreeBSD is stricter than on Linux, and marks them as
storage.cdrom/volume.disc instead of only storage/volume. Checks for
those categories as well.
Add the UI for replacing the matches (replace not ready yet)
Fix escaping of html in matches
Fix file name for local files in the match tree
Preserve extensions when renaming multiple files
Thanks to Chiraq Anand for the patch! The commit is based on the
patch at https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/102495/ with some
minor modifications.
Inserts the program version in more cases in bug reports.
As it turns out the release of KDE 4.7.0 is called "4.7.00"
so with two 0s, as was also true for 4.6.0.
Yet on bugs.kde.org there often is just e.g. version "4.7.0"
available, thus DrKonqi does not insert the version in the version
Now DrKonqi treats "4.7.0" and "4.7.00" as equal when determaining
if the verion should be entered in the version field.
Fix layout flickering
Due to the focus-patch a flickering has been introduced as the
size-hint included mnemonics. Also the focus should only be applied
when a tab-key has been pressed.
Add Wicd backend to kded's networkstatus module.
Fix akonadi multiuser on Windows
When two users tried to start an akonadiserver on Windows
the default NamedPipe conflicted causing akonadi to crash.
With this patch the NamedPipe will include the Windows Username
to avoid such conflicts.
Tested to work with Spaces and special characters in the Username.
Fix bug 281169 - turning off all "Local Subscriptions" makes IMAP account disappear
Fix the Akregator segfault when the feed list is damaged, and we try to add a new feed.
The reason for this is that the FeedList object to be used is never correctly created,
do it stays at 0. This patch provides possibly the easiest solution to the problem:
when the feed is damaged, we use the default feed.
Fix Bug 233376 - Icon for attachments with unknown mimetypes broken
Fix odf loading/saving of chart shape
Fix horizontal vs vertical bar charts
probably even more bug-reports...
bug: Various correction in bookmarks (enable/disable in menu, bad management in parent/child relation)
feature: New function to bookmark all opened page in one click
Fix TOC is broken in the attached doc file
Fix regression that was introduced with commit 099217dbc. I fear the
invisiblespace will provide us even more problems cause now all the
code that wasbefore working using isEmpty() will not work any longer
cause now the equivalentwould be to use .remove(0x200B).isEmpty().
Long term we probably like to introducea common method that handles
such special characters in such situations.
Don't populate the filter node twice when removing an entry
When the filter node was cleared and being repopulated, the rowCount()
function would get called in the middle of the repopulation, when would
call repopulate again, thus doubling the count.
some small fixes for latex export
Check the array index before accessing the array.
Change the check of the array index from <= to <.
Check zone abailability before accessing it.
change a=a+1 to a++.
Fix crash is observed while opening the attached ppt file
: The import logic should use an existing account based on bank name read from :20: and the account number read from :25:
Try to ensure that Amazon secret key is written to the config file
I still can't reproduce the bug, but someone on the email list reported
that it seemed to be some issue with Tellico trying to read the secret
key from kwallet instead of the config file, when appropriate.
catch exception when saving with exiv2, don't crash just skip the data
Networking Tools
Fix SSL widget crash
This was the crash (probably) occurred during ds2011 presentation.
Check if a list is empty before pulling something (with QList::first()
Update current connectin pointer when it is deleted.
Sort connection list by type and then by activation state (activated,
activating, unknown).
Default type order is: wifi, hidden wifi, VPN, Gsm, other
connection types (ethernet, dsl, cdma, etc), unconfigured access points
(wifi), unconfigured interface. This order is hard-coded.
FIXED-IN: nm09
Fix people having squashed avatars in the default theme

Improve error display of syndication plugin errors
User Interface
remove offset added to tooltip shadows as it has become unnecessary with more recent gtk
(likely a bug fixed upstream). Painting is now consistent with gtk2.
Multiple fixes/enhancements, making generic matching work correctly
- Fix non-greedy KleenePlus/KleeneStar matching, by also testing
following items of parent syntax items (stored in new MatchData
- Match functions in SyntacticalAnalyzer now have the same signature
"function(MatchData *matchData, MatchItems *matchedItems);".
The MatchData object contains information about the current item
to be matched, following items, the parent MatchItem to add output to,
etc. The MatchedItems list contains a list of all items matched in
the function (it's a list for KleeneStar/KleenePlus).
- Change SyntacticalAnalyzer::analyze() to use the new generic parsing
system, ie. using a root SyntaxItem.
- Remove AnalyzerRL and old (non-generic) parsing functions from
SyntacticalAnalyzer. Right-to-left parsing is not needed anymore,
thanks to the new generic parsing system using syntax item trees.
- Updated syntax definition for journey searches to also allow stop
names without double quotes (works thanks to fixed KleenePlus).
- New method for updating a matched input string (adding, removing,
changing items). This is done using a syntax item tree, ie. it for
example inserts new syntax items at the correct places.
- Macros for printing pretty debug output while parsing.
- Removing invalid characters from input (instead of rejecting input
in lexical analyzer).
- Update and enhance unit tests.
- Spelling fix: Errornous => Erroneous.
APT MultiArch support. On multiarch-enabled systems it:
- Prevents foreign-arch packages not explicitly supporting multiarch from being added to
QApt::Backend's central package list
- Provides a Backend::isMultiArchEnabled() to return whether or not dpkg/apt are set up
for multiarch
- Provides a Package::architecture() to determine the architecture of a package.
- Provides a Package::isMultiArchEnabled() to return whether or not a package explicitly
supports multiarch installation.
I am considering this a bugfix, since with APT 0.8.16+ behavior of clients that do not
have a way to distinguish foreign arch packages from native packages to the user are
quite obnoxious, displaying two identical packages with no sane way to tell them apart,
doing this for just about every package available. With this patch, consumers will not
list foreign arch packages that aren't multiarch-enabled, but they will still have to
use the two new QApt::Package functions to disambiguate packages that are multiarch-
Suspend the idle timer when updating the apt-xapian index, as this is an asynchronous
operation that will not block the timer thread.
Fixes the qaptworker quitting during the middle of an update, resulting in a loss of
progress info to applications watching the update progress.
Merge CheckOperations with NewOperations so when a new partition is deleted
before applying we don't get a dangling pointer in the CheckOperation.
Fix doubling of playernumbers with non default playernames
Seach for smallest missing playerNum instead of first missing default name.
List is sorted by playerNum to acheive that.
Fix bug: filenames in filelisting are not shown for files without extension

Development Tools
Adds scripting functionality to Kst.
PyKst scripts can control and share data with a kst session.
(The following information is also available inside the svn tree at pyKst/README)
Currently python scripting is implemented. If you are interested in adding Kst support to
other languages, see below.
PyKst (available inside the svn tree at pyKst) is, at the time of writing, not stable
enough for serious use. For the time being, do not write scripts with it except to
test and to send feedback.
Scripting does not introduce any new dependencies to Kst, but PyKst will not run
without certain libraries.
PyKst is tested on Python 2.6 and does not work with Python 3.x.
PyKst needs NumPy 1.6 and does not work with NumPy 1.5. If it is very important
that it should work with NumPy 1.5, modify pykstpp.py to work with the old
API (and submit these changes to kst!!) or send an email to the devel list.
PyKst currently is not portable as pykstpp.py contains C++ code which is
compiled upon first use. It should, instead, create a dynamic library at
Kst compile time. Also, it does not detect the location of the Qt library or
include files, so to get it to compile you might have to modify pykstpp.py.
Please email the Kst list with feature requests and bug reports. I am not able to work on
scripting as much as I have had the chance to do in the past two weeks because of
high school, but can certainly try to help with relatively minor fixes.
The fastest way to get started is to take a look at the examples inside the svn tree
at pyKst/
Documentation is available for now at hen.astro.utoronto.ca/pyKst or inside the
svn tree at pyKst/doc.
(The following information is also available inside the svn tree at README.kstScript)
Kst implements a client-server interface for scripting. Scripts interacts with a running kst session.
This server is implemented in scriptserver.cpp.
Upon receiving a socket message from QLocalSocket, ScriptServer parses it. ScriptServer implements a map
between command strings and ScriptServer member functions.
These commands include "newVector()", "getPlotList()", etc.
To edit a vector, you would call "beginEdit(Vector Name)". This would open an "interface". One interface
is DialogScriptInterface which simply allows a script to control a hidden dialog. Where speed is important,
other (hard-coded) interfaces are created. To close the interface, one would call "endEdit()".
ScriptServer also implements a very minimalistic language providing:
- if statements in the form:
- variables in the form:
- macros in the form:
Note that 'c' is not a default argument: they initialize a and d so you can run a macro while writing it.
newMacro(...) runs the macro while it is being written. newMacro_(...) does not)
Note that kstScript (that is, the simple language ScriptServer understands) never uses quotes. It is therefore
important that extra spacing is not added. Comments are also not supported. I feel that it is not worth improving
this 'language'. If someone should have time, a port to javascript would certainly be better.
You can use tests/kstcontrol to write kstScript macros. A list of possible commands is shown inside kstcontrol on the
right hand side. To make macros permanent (i.e., load on start of kst) add them to the file "kstScript.txt".
kstcontrol outputs macros you create to stdout on endMacro().
Writing macros is preferred over implementing them directly in a language (say, python) because the underlying API is
not guaranteed to be consistent and macros allow multiple languages to all have similar functionality with better code
To get a feel for how they are written, please see kstScript.txt.
To give a language the ability to communicate with kst, implement functions which use QLocalSocket to communicate with
ScriptServer. Refer to pykst whose source is available in pykst/pykst.py and pykst/pykstpp.py.

load homescreen based on the config
* remove the old unmaintained tablet homescreen
* default to the contour homescreen, now called org.kde.active.contour-tablet-homescreen
* the loaded homescreen depends from the entry HomeScreenPackage in [General] of plasma-mobilerc
First iteration of file reception using obexd, a success!
With this commit we're starting to add some obexd-server dependency, so
be aware of that!
We''ve implemented the file reception into two isolated classes called:
FileTransfer and ObexdAgend.
FileTransfer: Listens to org.openobex and track file transfers, it will
be who shows the jobs.
ObexdAgend: Basically sits quiet until obexd needs some authorization.
Also you may notice the inclusion of bluedevil-reception, it is only for
development proposes it will never be installed. I got tired of
restarting kded so since FileTransfer is totally isolated from the kded
I decided to use it in a separate process.
Change timers to QElapsedTimers
Instead of calculating the elapsed time from epoch clock, using
a QElapsedTimer as well as reusing the timer object instead of
creating a new one in the scene each frame.

interactive flickable only when needed
when the web page size is less or equal the size of the screen don't flick, permitting the web page to cotrol drag by its own (often useful for web apps such as google maps)
streamline activity switching, and fix initial position of recommendations panel
Q: why does it take a few seconds to switch activities?
A: because there was a 2s pause animation and then the activity was scaled in(!)
Q: what happens when that is removed?
A: things get faster.
i left the actual states in place as we may wish to later re-instate some sort of visual effect.
however, as they are completely non-visible (probably due to framerate possibilities on the tablets;
in fact, i only noticed this scaling in on my laptop!), i don't see a point to them right now.
allow switching of layouts temporarily (e.g. on demand)
FEATURE:Add copy menu in contextual menu for cells
Do not use QRegion in KisToolFreehand
The use of QRegion was responsible for about 25% of execution time.
Changing it to QVector<QRect> makes painting noticeably faster. Now
the canvas calling qpainter::drawImage tops the execution time chart.
feature: In krunner, A string like "buy 10 ESSO" allows to quickly prepare add a new operation in skrooge. Advices in dashboard allows to finalize the creation
Add cstrunner: run cstester in multiple processes
cstrunner is a tool to run cstester on multiple processes at the same time. It will create a report of the files
that where terminated by a signal. This can either happen if there is a bug in the calligra or the allowed amount of
time or cpu has been exceeded. It also creates a file md5.txt in each output directory which contains the ms5sums of
the generated thumbnails.
cstrunner uses the scripts cstwrapper and cstmd5gen
- cstwrapper
limits the resources cstester is allowed to use and makes sure the correct exit code is returned to cstrunner
- cstmd5gen
generates md5sums for a given thumbnail directory and stores them in the file md5.txt in the directory.
Implement the new subtitle api
adding automatic iterating of youtube el param
For some videos Youtube allow only the playback
when using a special el parameter while video
requesting. The following patch iterates
automatically over different parameters before
stopping with an error message shown to the user.
Networking Tools
Add option to close window by closing last tab
Usual behavior in Firefox/Chrome. Let it be configurable here :)
Also sort connections by name (or ssid if applicable).
Add the initial work on the QApt::Changelog class. QApt::Changelog is an interface to
Debian changelog files, allowing easy access to changelog information for making
human-readable changelogs.
Improved documentation
Informations on the Circuit Macros backend have been added
new changes (e.g. show events) by Bart Visscher
added labels for the other advanced fields, thanks to Elias Probst for the suggestion
Updated Google Android bits to latest, fix some build_sdk.sh bugs.
Add Android API 13 (3.2_r01)
Update Android ndk version from r6 to r6b (ANDROID_NDK_VERSION)
Update Android platform tools from r04 to r06 (ANDROID_PLATFORM_TOOLS_VERSION)
Update Android sdk version from r11 to r12 (ANDROID_SDK_VERSION)
Fix some calls to doSed when editing paths (changed delims to #)
Make patchPackage function ok in the face of missing folders (it warns too)
Initial work on resetting forgotten passwords. It works, but still need to email a token to allow reset
Buttons for play/add albums works. Folding albums too.
Lower CPU usage when fading between departures in the popup icon
- Cache drawn vehicle pixmaps in DeparturePainter.
For monochrome icons, drawing the transport line string (using
QPainterPath::drawPath) into the icon takes the most time.
- Cache drawn polygons for visualizing the time until departure.
- Cache transition pixmaps for fading between departures in one group.
- Lower the animation time for transitions between departures in one
group and higher the pause between these animations.
- Altogether this lowers the approx. CPU usage here (3,4GHz single core)
from ~15% to ~1% while showing the popup icon with fading departures
(tested in plasmoidviewer).
Development Tools
HttpDownloadManager: neither take ownership of nor expose StoragePolicy
The StoragePolicy is accessed outside of HttpDownloadManager, where methods are accessed that are only available in subclasses.
Since it was unsafe to keep a pointer to the concrete StoragePolicy around, downcasts from HttpManager's storagePolicy() were needed to access these methods.
By not having HttpDownloadManager take ownership, it is now safe to keep a concrete object of StoragePolicy around.
As a result, casts are unnecessary.
Use a stack of stacks for the inline object start/end matching
Previously, if you had a document that contained a table with a bookmark
start before and bookmark end after the table, all table cells would
be written out with a bookmark-end because we call writeblocks recursively,
even on nested documents.
This patch creates a stack of stacks which gets pushed at the start
of writeBlocks and popped at the end of writeblock. Hopefully, there's
not more KoTextWriter::Private state that gets confused because we
call writeBlocks recursively.
Networking Tools
Unify reloading methods
All code paths for reloading methods and slots now end up at reloadTab
and do proper handling of the about scheme
User Interface
when something is launched, close the panel
Eliminate set{Max/Min}Volume and query the OpenAL for the current volume
Test cases can be removed, if there are any.
It is better to not complicate the code unneccesarily, so the max volume value
is set to a value during the source loading. It can be re-discussed, if the
need arises. Summary, there is no exposed setter for those provided by the API.
We decided that way: the volume setter/getter works properly only if there is a
source loaded, and we do not need to add any unneccesary code here either that
It should also fix the test cases and the operation in general when there is a
maximum value set (in this special case: 10.0f), but the volume getter does not
return bigger value anymore, even if the value is set for a bigger one.

Henry Stewart Digital Asset Management Symposium, NEW YORK – June 6, 2007 – NetXposure today announced NetXposure version 5, the first digital asset management (Digital Asset Management) solution to be built using AIR (formerly known as Apollo) – the code name for a cross-operating system application engine from Adobe that allows developers to extend rich Internet applications (RIAs) to the desktop – and Adobe Flex software, a developer framework for building cross-operating system RIAs for the web. NetXposure 5 delivers an enterprise-class solution that combines the rich user experience of web-based applications with the features and functionality of traditional desktop applications. Marked as the most significant product release in the company's history, NetXposure 5 seamlessly links desktop creative applications including Adobe Creative Suite 3 applications with digital media content that resides in NetXposure's web-based repository.
NetXposure 5, the industry's first Digital Asset Management solution built using Adobe Flex and AIR (formerly known as Apollo), will be demonstrated at the Henry Stewart Digital Asset Management Symposium on June 6-7, 2007 at the Javits Center in New York. NetXposure 5 will be available this summer.
NetXposure also announced today a free plug-in that delivers full integration with Adobe Creative Suite 3, enabling users to access the NetXposure Digital Asset Management repository from within CS3 point applications via Adobe Bridge and Version Cue. This gives users the ability to browse, search, open files, import, check in / check out, delete, create / save versions and view metadata without ever leaving the Adobe applications. The result is a more controlled creative process with streamlined production.
"NetXposure is revolutionizing the Digital Asset Management category with this version, harnessing the power of the desktop while delivering the connectivity of the Internet to link media assets to creative workflow," said Pam Deziel, director of product marketing at Adobe. "NetXposure 5 is a great example of the innovative use of AIR (formerly known as Apollo) and Adobe Flex to create powerful applications with compelling user experiences."
Utilizing AIR (formerly known as Apollo) technology from Adobe, NetXposure 5 delivers an intuitive user interface with offline capabilities. This means users can interact with media files stored within NetXposure's Digital Asset Management repository via a web browser or through Adobe Bridge and Version Cue. In addition, a new RIA interface powered by Adobe Flex gives NetXposure 5 a high performance, efficiently-expressive user experience that works in real time. For example, users can drag and drop media files from their desktop directly into NetXposure 5.
"Adobe is the leader in an emerging arena of web-enabled desktop applications," said Jason Wehling, vice president of Technology at NetXposure. "It made perfect sense for us to build NetXposure 5 on AIR (formerly known as Apollo) and Flex to deliver new and engaging experiences with which our customers can manage and extend the value of their media assets."

Wellness and getting healthy is more about motivation than information. Yes, accurate health information is important but when I started to get healthy I basically had known for a long time what the problems were and what I needed to do about them. It was a lot more about deciding to taking charge and doing something about it than knowing how to change. So I took a broad look around for motivation, and I found it nearly everywhere. I found it in the eyes of my wife, my family, my friends, the people walking down the street, and even my wallet. There was a better way to do this, so I took the challenge and went for it.
So what motivates you?

Slick Town see off Wolves
By Andy Clarke
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Darren Bent and Tommy Miller scored as Ipswich beat Wolves 2-1 at Portman Road.
Goals from Darren Bent and Tommy Miller were enough to give Ipswich a 2-1 victory over Wolves at Portman Road.Having dominated for much of the first hour, during which time they scored both of their goals, the home side just about deserved the three points, although they were made to hold on towards the end.
Wolves came to life after Seyi Olofinjana headed them back into the game against the run of play, but although they showed a marked improvement in the last half hour, Dave Jones' side rarely looked like forcing an equaliser.
Ipswich were much the better team in the first half and were full value for the half time lead given to them by Bent's 29th minute goal.
Jim Magilton curled in a cross from the right and Bent was able to steer a header beyond Paul Jones into the far corner.
Bent had earlier sent Jones scrambling towards his left hand post with a diving header, while Miller's header was deflected over after a fine link up with Magilton.
Miller then came within a whisker of extending Ipswich's lead with a shot from 18 yards which crashed off the underside of the bar and onto the line.
Wolves' only chance of the first period came when Lee Naylor sent in a fine low cross from the left, but Shaun Newton could only turn the ball into the side-netting.
Shefki Kuqi was guilty of a glaring miss when he turned Bent's cross against a post from just two yards, but he made up for it moments later when his burst into the area was stopped by a combination of Naylor and Joleon Lescott.
Referee Phil Crossley pointed to the spot and Miller made no mistake, sending Jones the wrong way as he rolled in a low shot.
Inexplicably the home defence then went to sleep as Kevin Cooper sent in a free-kick from the left, and Olofinjana was left with time and space to head his first goal for Wolves.
Naylor's well struck shot forced a save from Kelvin Davis as the visitors upped the tempo, but they were otherwise unable to test the Ipswich keeper as they pushed for an equaliser.
In the end it was Ipswich who came closest to adding a fourth goal as they played on the break, with Miller's side-foot shot bringing a smart save from Jones.

for Christmas i got two new Anthony Trollope books and dying to get back to him.
Isn't this an oxymoron? I thought he wrote in the 19th century?
No running till tomorrow for me. I hope to do a long run tomorrow AM,dark and early.
Jlynne,the 1st series the Vikings had the ball it looked like Adrian Peterson was going to do a repeat of last week. I'm glad the Packers defense stepped up and shut him down after that. I hope it was fun being there.
Tom White-I rarely go to see movies,but my son said he thought this movie was pretty good after he saw it last week. I'm into old muscle cars as a hobby,and I see the character driving a 70' Chevelle in the previews,so maybe I'll go see this one. I'm kind of picky when it comes to movies,but maybe this one makes the cut.
Dave, it must be great to finally have your bathroom done.
There were quite a few long runs today: CNY, lynden, deez, Holly, ribs, and Bertha.
This morning, it was in the low 30s, there was a little wind, and a little snow. I didn't have any energy and got in 3 miles at an 11:23 pace.
A good day and good runs for all.
1.5 hrs of relative calm in our house before the Seahawks game. then it'll get loud. very loud. and no, we aren't having a party. David is a party amongst himself and can make enough noise during a football game to make it sound like we are having a party.
got in an 8 mile run this morning. First went for a 1 mile walk with both dogs. then took each one for a 4 mile run. They enjoyed it and I enjoyed passing the time with them. Made 8 miles go by much quicker.
will do planks later. Making a late breakfast now of hashbrowns, sausage, scrambled eggs.
TW, the best parts of your posts are often before you digress, so let me build on your rant. Reacher is portrayed by Child as HUGE, so I'm right with you on the Tom Cruise thing. How could they even consider him as the character?
...agreed (except for the'' I Digress Part'')
............One Shot was my Favorite,
followed by a TOTALLY Schlock Book the next year,
buddy and I agreed '' The Rock'' would have made a better character
..nothing takes the place of persistence.....
Good day everyone...no run but a good kettlebell workout. Lots of snow falling about 5 foot snowbanks out here. crazy year so far. A run tomorrow so better look fot the hex bolts to drill into my runners. Homemade pizza tonight and I made a batch of Mario Batali's Cowboy cookies. Amazing. Cheers.
Recent Best times: None recently
Put in a 15 miler today - my last long run before my half marathon in two weeks. 1:52:39 (7:31 AVG) plus my planks.
Trails are hard!
Lots of good long runs today.
I made it for 7.3 miles this morning. I need to slow down a little on my first mile--just over 9M/M. I ended up with 9:50 due to running the last piece on an unplowed section.
DW and I got some Olive garden gift cards for Christmas and decided to go last night. Not necessarily a smart move for a Saturday night--called before we left at 6 and were told it would be >2 hours wait. We waited an hour and drove up to find only a 35 minute wait. Turned out we were eating before the origianl time was up.
Need a fast half for late fall. Then I need to actually train for it.
Bertha - I wear nothing but Drymax socks. The best I've found for blister prevention, especially when you're going to have wet feet. I've slogged through my fair share of mud puddles on the trails, and since I started wearing Drymax, I've had little to no problems with blisters. They're a bit spendy, but worth it. Zombierunner has good sales on socks every few months, including Drymax. Subscribe to their sale emails, and you'll be notified.
MikeE - If you and the other two guys are doing exactly the same job, I don't see how your employer can pay them hourly and you salary.
Rest day for me. I wore my Danskos to church this a.m. First time I've worn them in over two weeks. The opening of the shoe hits right where my problem area starts with my foot and irritates it. I think I'll be wearing my old running shoes until I get this foot thing figured out. Oh, it's a real nice look with my work slacks!

Trail Runner Nation
Did a 5k race this afternoon I was happy with my 24:51 because I did a 6.8 mile warm up 1st with the club and the race was not flat. The race was the Race to the Alter with 2 club members getting married before the awards ceremony, very nice. I was present when they met in the summer of 2011.
Coastwalker glad to see you slept in
Jlynne congrats on the Packer victory but I'm pullin for the 49'ers because of local ownership and I got to meet Ken Willard when I was 11 years old so I started rootin for them in 1966.
Mike E. International Falls race in January brrr!
TomWhite I'm sure the runner thought you were the insane one
rochrunner same with my club lots of young ladies early 30's
Stumpy I had an Olive Garden wait experience last nite, not, we left went 2 miles down the road for better Italian food an no wait and I did not over do it on the salad.
Have a Nice Week...
Courage ! Do one brave thing today...then run like hell.
Thanks. I do know that I was wearing the wrong socks but was opting for some warmth. I will be shopping soon for some new fancy runnin' sawks that cover both these issues.
*it's Bertha or me. My money is on me.*
Got out for a run today to conquer my own "Bertha," but I have to say she almost got the better of me. Lots of stops on the way back up to recover and wait for cars. Our bikepath is a mess so this road is the next best option to get to the main road and the roads by the lower hay fields where I like to run (even though it's coooold down there!). Nice to catch the best of the sunshine today though, but finished after it had set. Still nice out there though, about 17° here at the house and zero down at the low points.
Tall, that's a lot of snow! Glad to see you're still a whiz in the kitchen... homemade pizza sounds good!

Create a Modern and Sleek Blog Design in Photoshop
This web design tutorial will show you the process of designing a sleek, modern, dark-themed blog layout. We will be creating the design of the front page of the blog. We will use basic web design techniques using familiar Photoshop tools such as the shape tools, guides, layer styles, and the Brush Tool. You are encouraged to explore and modify the examples to tailor the design to suit your needs.
Click on the image below to see the work in full scale.

Step 1: Creating a New Photoshop Document
Open Adobe Photoshop and begin by creating a new document (Ctrl/Cmd + N). Make the document 1200px (Width) by 1600px (Height). Use White as the background.
Step 2: Creating Guides
Alignment is very important in web design. To help with precise alignment, we will add guides to our work. To help us place the guides accurately, we will use View > New Guide.
Create 4 vertical guides and 7 horizontal guides at the following locations:
Vertical Guides | Horizontal Guides |
115px | 160px |
140px | 265px |
1060px | 590px |
1085px | 890px |
1300px | |
1360px | |
1490px |
Step 3: Creating the Design's Background
We will create a dark background with a very subtle noise texture. First, create a new layer group (Layer > New > Group) that will contain all the layers related to the background. Inside the layer group, create a new layer (Shift + Ctrl/Cmd + N) and name it "BG". Set your Foreground Color to a very dark blue (#0a0d15). To fill the newly created layer with our dark blue foreground color, simply press Alt/Opt + Backspace.
Make sure that the active layer is still the "BG" layer. Go to Filter > Noise > Add Noise. For the noise settings, use an Amount of 0.95%, set the Distribution to Uniform and uncheck Monochromatic if it's checked. Apply the filter by clicking OK.
Now we're going to create darker blocks on the background to make it more interesting. Create a new layer (Shift + Ctrl/Cmd +N) and name it "Block". Make sure that the "Block" layer is above the "BG" layer. Choose the Rectangular Marquee Tool (M) and create a selection between the first horizontal guide and the third one. Fill the selected area with black (#000000).
Lower the Opacity of the "Block" layer to 30%.
Create 2 more dark blocks using the same method; use the image below for reference.
We are now going to give the dark blocks some inset borders. Create a new layer. Set your Foreground Color to a very dark blue (#080a0f). Choose the Pencil Tool (B) and set it at 1px size. Draw a horizontal line at the top of the first block; hold down Shift to draw a perfectly straight line.
Now change your Foreground Color to a brighter blue (#121829). Draw another line under the first one.
You can now zoom out to see the entire canvas. Make sure that layer with our lines is selected in the Layers Panel, then copy it 4 times (Ctrl/Cmd + J). Place the copied lines on the 3rd, 4th, 6th, and 7th horizontal guides. Select the layer of the line placed on the 3rd horizontal guide and use Free Transform (Ctrl/Cmd + T) to change the Height to -100%. Do the same thing with the line on the 6th horizontal guide.
Step 4: Making the Blog's Logo
Now that we are done with the background, the next steps will deal with the header. First, create a new group for layers associated with the header; you can name this group, "Header".
Let us construct the logo for our blog. For the logo's icon, we can use a nice speech bubble icon from the Web User Interface vector icon pack. Download the pack and open up the chat_256.png file in Photoshop. After that, press Ctrl/Cmd + Alt/Option + I to open the Image Size dialog window. Change the Width and Height of the PNG file to 44px. Transfer the icon to our main document. Use the Move Tool (V) to place the icon at the left side of the header (shown below).
Next, we will type our logo's text. We will use the free ChunkFive font. If you don't have the font yet, download and install it (we will use this font several times in this tutorial).
Choose the Horizontal Type Tool (T), set your font to ChunkFive, set the size to 30pt, and pick Sharp as the anti-aliasing method. The color is not important because we will use a layer style to give the text the look we need. Write the text you desire — in this tutorial, I used "Design Instruct" as the text.
Right-click on the "Design Instruct" text layer and choose Blending Options. Give our text a Drop Shadow and a Gradient Overlay (settings shown below).
Drop Shadow
Gradient Overlay
Colors used for the Gradient Overlay are #4d5266, #5f677c, #5f677c and #989eac.
This is the result of the layer effects we applied to the layer:
We will stylize our blog's logo text with a subtle spotlight effect that will also boost the drop shadow layer effect. Create a new layer below the logo's text layer. Set your Foreground Color to White (#ffffff). Choose the Brush Tool (B) and select the Soft Mechanical 200px brush from the Basic Brushes set. Click once somewhere at the center of the text. Reduce the brush stroke's prominence by switching the Blend Mode of its layer to Soft Light and reducing its Opacity to 50%.
Step 5: Create the Main Navigation Menu
Let us work on the primary navigation menu now, which will simply be a horizontal list of links that point to major pages of our website. Set your Foreground Color to the color of our links, which is a mid-tone gray (#7a7a7a). Choose the Horizontal Type Tool (T), pick the Arial font, set the size to 14pt and write your navigation's text (e.g., "Home", "About", "Portfolio", "Blog", etc.).
Go to Layer > Layer Style > Blending Options to open up the Layer Style dialog window. Give the text layer a Drop Shadow (suggested settings shown below).
We will give the active link a distinctive style to let the user know what section of the site they are in. Using the Horizontal Type Tool, highlight the word "Blog" and then change its color to a lighter gray color (#e5e5e5).
We will give the active link layer a different background style to increase its distinctiveness from the other links. Create a new layer below the navigation text layer. Set your Foreground Color to white (#ffffff), select the Rectangle Tool (U) and draw a rectangle under the "Blog" link (shown below). Lower the Opacity of the rectangle to 4%.
We are done with our layout's header.
Step 6: Create the Blog's "Welcome" Text
Now that we are done with the header, we can move onto the main content area of our layout. The next few steps will deal with the main area of our layout. Create a new layer group named "Body" that will contain all the layers (and layer groups) that are associated with the main content area. I hope that, by now, you are seeing a trend where we are creating layer groups for each of the major components of the layout to keep our work organized. This is because someone else (like a front-end developer that will convert the PSD layout to a functional HTML/CSS template) might need to use our work, so it's imperative when designing web layouts and interfaces that we are as tidy as possible.
We'll now create a large "welcome" text block that's popularly seen in many portfolio designs. Get the Horizontal Type Tool (T), set it to the ChunkFive font and choose 24pt as the font size. Write a "welcome" message such as "Welcome to Design Instruct Studio Blog." Place your "welcome" text at the center of the layout and below the header. You can copy the layer style from the logo's text (right-click on its layer in the Layers Panel, choose Copy Layer Style) and paste it on the "welcome" message text layer (right-click on its layer in the Layers Panel, choose Paste Layer Style).
Step 7: Create the Main Content's Background
We will create a gray background with rounded corners as the background of our main content area. Set your Foreground Color to gray (#e8e8e8). Use the Rounded Rectangle Tool (U) (Radius at 5px) to draw a big rounded rectangle using the guides we set up earlier.
Step 8: Create the Secondary Navigation Menu
We will now create the web design layout's secondary menu that will sit at the top of the main content area. The secondary navigation menu serves as a way for users to navigate between different categories of the blog. To start, set your Foreground Color to another gray color (#989eac). Use the Horizontal Type Tool (T) with the ChunkFive font set at 16pt size to write out your blog's categories (e.g., "News", "Photography", "Articles", etc.).
Set the Foreground Color to a dark gray (#505050) and then use the Rounded Rectangle Tool (U) (Radius set to 5px) to draw a dark gray rounded rectangle behind the active category (shown below).
Double-click on the dark gray rounded rectangle in the Layers Panel to open the Layer Style dialog window. Give the dark gray rounded rectangle a Drop Shadow and an Inner Shadow.
Drop Shadow
Inner Shadow
Now reduce the rounded rectangle layer's Opacity to 20%. Also, change the active category text's color to a light gray/off-white color (#f5f5f5).
Let us create a divider that sits below the secondary navigation links to separate the menu from the other sections of the main content area. Create a new layer for the divider. Set the Foreground Color to a gray color (#c0c0c2). Choose the Pencil Tool (B) and set the brush size to 1px. Draw a horizontal line below the secondary navigation links, holding down Shift to make a straight line.
Next, change the Foreground Color to white (#ffffff). Draw another line that is right below the first line. Reduce the second line layer's Opacity to 50%.
Step 9: Create the First Blog Post
Now we're going to create blog posts, and for that reason, let us create a new layer group inside the "Body" layer group; we can call this new group, "Blog post".
Create a new vertical guide to delineate the border between the blog content (which sits on the left) from the sidebar (which will be on the right). Go to View > New Guide and create a vertical guide at 720px.
Let's write out the title of the blog post. Set your Foreground Color to a mid-tone gray (#989eac). Select the Horizontal Type Tool (T) and set your font to Georgia (a web-safe font), Italic, and 24pt size. We want to stay between the vertical guides of our blog post section so, with the Horizontal Type Tool, click-and-hold on the left guide and then drag until you snap to the right guide. Inside this text box, write the title of your blog post (e.g., "Make a Soft Grunge Product Advertisement Design in Adobe Photoshop").
Next, give the blog post title a subtle drop shadow layer effect (settings shown below).
Let us now work on the lead image for the blog post. Set your Foreground Color to gray (#d5d5d5). Afterwards, use the Rectangle Tool (U) to draw a rectangle below the blog post title using the vertical guides to help with its size.
Pick an image (preferably a big one) to place within this gray rectangle. I just used an image from a previous Design Instruct tutorial. Place your image into our work, centered in the gray rectangle. Don't worry if it's too big, we will fix that next. With your image sitting on top of the gray rectangle layer, Ctrl/Cmd + click on the gray rectangle layer to make a selection around it. Next, go to Select > Modify > Contract and contract your selection by 5px. Go back to your image's layer and copy the selected area (Ctrl/Cmd + C). Paste the copied area (Ctrl/Cmd + V), which should create a new layer. You can now delete the original image and you should be left with an image that has 5px borders around its edges.
We will now create a "Read More" button on the blog post's image. First, set your Foreground Color to black (#000000). Then select the Rounded Rectangle Tool (U) and make sure its Radius is at 5px. Draw a black rounded rectangle towards the bottom right of the blog post's image.
If you drew your rounded rectangle as a shape layer (which is the default setting of the Rounded Rectangle Tool), you must convert it to a rasterized layer by choosing Layer > Rasterize > Shape.
We now need to delete the areas of the button that spills out of our image. To do so, first create a selection around the image by holding down Ctrl/Cmd and then clicking on its layer in the Layers Panel. Afterwards, invert the selection (Shift + Ctrl/Cmd + I) and delete the selected area. You will see that our "Read More" button's background now has a straight edge on the right, making it look as if it's wrapping around the image. Reduce the Opacity of this layer to 50% to let some of the blog post's image show through the button.
To finish our button, we just need to type out the "Read more" text. Set your Foreground Color to white (#ffffff) and then use the Horizontal Type Tool with the Arial font, Regular, size at 12pt to to write out the text, "Read more", centered at our button.
We're going to add a nice shadow under the blog post image. For that reason, let us create a new layer underneath the gray border. Set your Foreground Color to black (#000000) and use the Rectangle Tool (U) to draw a rectangle that's slightly smaller in width than the gray border.
Rasterize the black rectangle's layer (Layer > Rasterize > Shape), then go to Edit > Transform > Warp and transform the shape such that it curves in the middle (shown below).
Next, go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur. Set the Radius of the blur to 6px and press OK to apply the Gaussian blur filter.
So that the shadow is not so strong, reduce the shadow layer's Opacity to 20%. You may need to adjust the shadow's location by moving it upwards a bit.
It's time to add the blog post's excerpt (also known as "teaser"). Set your Foreground Color to gray (#989eac) and, with the Horizontal Type Tool, write some text for the post's excerpt below the post's image. I've used Arial at 13pt size.
We need to copy the horizontal line that is below the secondary navigation menu to the bottom of the first blog post. First, use the Rectangular Marquee Tool (M) to make a selection around the horizontal line (use the vertical guides to help you make the appropriate selection).
In the Layers Panel, find the layer with the horizontal lines on it and click it to make it the active layer. Copy (Ctrl/Cmd + C) the line, go back to the "Blog post" layer group and paste the copied selection (this should automatically create a new layer for the lines). Use the Move Tool (V) to move the horizontal line beneath the post's excerpt. Reduce the Opacity of the layer to 50%.
Step 10: Create the Second Blog Post
Duplicate the "Blog post" layer group. Use the Move Tool (V) to move the contents of the duplicated layer group below the first layer group.
Change the blog post's title, image and excerpt to make it look different from the first blog post. For the image, I just used another previous Design Instruct tutorial.
Step 11: Create the Pagination Navigation
Pagination navigation is a popular design pattern for blogs that have a lot of content. In essence, it's a quick way to navigate through older blog posts. You can see it in action at the bottom of the Design Instruct front page and category pages.
Let us create a new layer group (Layer > New > Group) for the pagination navigation. Now set your Foreground Color to gray (#989eac). Use the Horizontal Type Tool (T) with Arial, Regular, and 14pt font size to write "Pages:", aligned to the left guide. Then write the page numbers ("1 2 3 4 5") as well as "Last", aligned to the right guide.
Step 12: Create the Sidebar
Let's make a new layer group (Layer > New > Group) for the sidebar.
We also need a new vertical guide to delineate the left edge of the sidebar's content so that there is a bit of space between the blog post area and the sidebar area. Create the new vertical guide (View > New Guide) at 760px.
Use the Horizontal Type Tool (T) with a gray font color (#989eac) and ChunkFive font at 18pt size to write "Sponsors". Align this text with the first blog post's title. Copy the layer style from the blog post's title and paste it into the "Sponsors" text layer to give it a very subtle drop shadow.
As a placeholder for banner ads, find a couple of 300x250px images and place them below the "Sponsors" text. I used images from previous Design Instruct tutorials, which you can navigate to here and here.
Beneath the banner ads, write the "Popular Posts" heading using the same style as the "Sponsors" heading. Beneath the heading, use Arial, Regular at 14pt size to write a list of the most popular blog posts. Create another section, this time, with the heading of "Friends". Below the "Friends" heading, write a list of blogs to be listed in your blog roll.
Step 13: Create Social Media Buttons
What's a blog without social media? We will create buttons that will link to the blog's social media accounts. We will place them below the main content area. We will start by creating a new layer group (Layer > New > Group) for the social media text and buttons.
Write "Connect Us", aligned to the left guide, using the ChunkFive font set at 24pt size. Copy the layer style from the "Welcome" text and paste it into this text layer.
Let us now draw the backgrounds of the social media buttons. Set your Foreground Color to white (#ffffff) and then use the Rounded Rectangle Tool (U) to draw 4 rounded rectangles (shown below), and then reduce their layer Opacity to 4%.
For the social media icons, I've used 4 icons from the awesome Vector 3D Social Icons icon pack. Download the pack and then open 4 of your favorite social media icons in Photoshop. Resize the icons (Image > Image Size) to 42x42px. After resizing the icons, copy them into our document. Place the icons on top of the rounded rectangles we drew just moments ago. Then type the name of the social media service (e.g., "Stumble Upon", "Facebook", etc.) on the right of the icons using a gray color (#989eac) and Arial, Regular at 14pt size.
Step 14: Create a Simple Footer
This is the last step of the tutorial. We will now create a simple footer that consists of copyright text and the designer's information, as well as a "Follow us on Twitter!" call-to-action. Let's first create a new layer group (Layer > New > Group) for the footer layers.
We'll tackle the easier part first: the copyright text. Set your Foreground Color to gray (#8f9093) and type your copyright information using Arial at 13pt size.
Select the Twitter icon from the Free Icon Pack: Vector 3D Social Icons that we downloaded earlier. Again, resize the image to 42x42px. Place the icon at the footer area, aligned to the right guide (shown below).
Then with the same color as for the copyright text, write "Follow us on Twitter!" at the icon's left side. Use the Rounded Rectangle Tool (U) with Radius set to 15px to create a black (#000000) background for the "Follow us on Twitter!" text.
Apply a Drop Shadow layer effect on the black rounded rectangle we've just drawn (settings shown below).
Reduce the black rounded rectangle's layer to 40%, and you'll notice that our background produces a subtle "pressed in" effect.
Tutorial Summary
We've finally finished our blog design, congratulations! We covered several popular techniques for web designers in this Photoshop web design tutorial. First, organization-wise, you would have noticed that we created plenty of layer groups, which really helps compartmentalize our PSD file and make it easier to work with. We also used guides with precise locations, which are important for keeping our design elements properly aligned. We discussed several techniques such as using layer styles to style text layers, creating subtle light effects (seen in the creation of the site's logo), inset dividers, and quick-and-simple web buttons. I hope you found this tutorial useful, and you are encouraged to leave your thoughts and questions in the comments.

Thats a very slick looking site you've designed there. I love the order.
Very good design! I'm like it.
Very useful.. thanks!
Nice design, but just like every other "web site design" tutorial you missed the hard part. No one ever goes on to show how they actually made it into the images and HTML and make it look the same as it did in Photoshop, in multiple browsers.

I wouldn't say "no one."
Our other site (of which I'm the founder of), for example, has these:
Find more in the Tutorials section.
Eventually, we'll also cover both the mock-up and code in our Web Design tutorials here on Design Instruct. In the meantime, though, some of our web design tutorials here include the HTML/CSS/JS template that you can freely download and study.
These tutorials are hard to produce. Imagine this: web designers just have to design, code, and test their work in browsers. This can take days/weeks.
Tutorial writers do all of that, and then have to write about it in a digestible way.
I'm not saying that we're not up for the task — but I just want to explain why it's not always part of the tutorials. We're doing the best we can to provide you educational tutorials free of charge in a timely fashion, with content that you typically have to pay for (books, seminars, classes) and content that takes many man-hours (it takes, on average, 2 weeks from conception of a tutorial to production), multiple people, and a lot of costs to produce.
Great feedback here! For those wanting to learn how to code – there are plenty of photoshop to xhtml/css tuts out there.
This really is a great layout for a site, and the links Jacob shared are great for jumping into the HTML/CSS layouts. I would have to agree that it is quite the undertaking when doing the whole design process AND the coding all in one massive tutorial. It is nice to see both parts though, and I would be curious to see if there is a way to code something that would be easy to update such as a WordPress theme as I have been looking for one of these for my girlfriends blog =)
This has been a subject I've wanted to cover for a while: From PSD to WordPress theme. The hard part is, this topic, is a length of a textbook (heck, a lot of textbooks are long enough just with one of those subjects), so how do we compress it in a way so that it's still helpful to those that would benefit the most from the topic (i.e., the folks that don't know about WordPress development)?
I'd love to write this still some day, and it's something that's been burning in the back of my mind for quite a while. I've seen tutorials like this out there, but not quite the way I would approach the subject. My approach is that I want you to be able to learn by doing, to be able to come out with a tangible product and learn something new (in a way that you're learning without even realizing you're learning). That's the only way education, to me, can be fun, engaging and fruitful.
Nice design, but is the font color for the body too light?
Now that you mention it, it can be a little higher in contrast. That would be a quick fix for those that feel the body text is too low-contrast.
In a normal workflow, I'd take this design as-is with all the color values and go to HTML/CSS, and then tweak it in CSS if I feel that, in production, the colors are off.
This is a pretty nice design, very clean.
This tutorial is well explained and easy to follow. I do think the containers in the header and footer areas could be a little more noticeable (brighter) they are hard to see on my MBP.
Thanks for sharing Tomas!
good job, thank you so much.
Nice design, I'm going to give this a go when I have some free time.
no chance this is awesome. it will really usefull for me. i love this.
good job! that's execelent for a begginer like me! thank you!
Amazing post..
You just took me from a scratch to a brilliant design.. This was the best tutorial I have ever seen :)

1950 shoe box I need an engine swap
I got a 1950 shoe box this week. I was thinking of putting a Chevy 350 in it. I understand that it is an expensive. That you need a certain $330 Nova oil pan. Maybe a different oil pump more expense. Does any one know of an engine swap that is not too expensive to do? Maybe a Ford or Chevy 6 cylinder? Open to all suggestions that does not have the word Flathead in it.

Here's a Street Rodder article that lines out a bunch of changes to the shoebox Ford....
http://www.streetrodderweb.com/tech/...nts/index.html |
There is also a notched rear sump Chevy II pan for racing, looks like a regular rear sump but has a steering link clearance notch on the front half of the sump. Look on Ebay, there are usually several in the $70 range and come with the pick-up. We bought one last year 6 qt flared sump, it worked fine, good solid piece. It might be something you can work with, I mentioned the 302 before because I hate crossbreeds .
Thanks for the info. I am going to Lead East (50's show) in NJ this week and I will take a lot photos that should help too. |
50 shoebox motor swap
im new to this discussin form i have a 50 ford and want a motor swap my flatt head 6 to a 73 FORD 302 MOTOR / 3-SPEED TRANS out of a van can this be done? will it fit what motor mounts to use tranny bolt up? how hard or easy to do a swap like this could really need some help thanks john
First off, get a couple of books and read through them thoroughly. That's the cheap and easy way to find out how to do stuff like this. Here's a good start for you.... http://www.amazon.com/Engine-Swappin...3390018&sr=1-1 http://www.amazon.com/Practical-Engi...3390115&sr=1-3 http://www.amazon.com/Petersens-Engi...3390115&sr=1-4 http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Book-...3390115&sr=1-7 http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Book-...390115&sr=1-10 But I'll give you an overview of the procedure. Block the vehicle up off the floor so you can have room to get under and around. Use approved safety jacks on all corners and maybe even a couple in the middle of the car at the sills. You can't have too much protection. You want the attitude of the car the same as it will be when running, level, front rake, lowered rear or whatever. Open the door and lay a level on each door sill for the front to rear angle. For side to side, use a long level frame rail to frame rail or on one of the crossmembers that you know has not been damaged. Doesn't hurt to check the level at a couple of different places on the car. It will be much easier if you remove all the front sheet metal. The problem with doing this is that some fellows fail to document where all the shims go, then they're in trouble when it comes time to bolt the front back on. As you disassemble the front, bag and tag the shims or shim packs as you remove them and make clear notes where they go on the car. If you want to leave all that on the car, you can do it, it's just easier with it all removed. But yeah, you can do it with just the hood removed. Use a scratch awl to score marks around the hinges before you unbolt anything so you will be able to put the hood right back where it was. Do the repair work to the engine, clutch and transmission before you begin. You don't want to have to remove the whole mess to replace a clutch disc or throwout bearing after it's all in. Bolt up stock motor mounts to the block and the trans case. Drop the motor/trans into place. Make up some means of keeping the unit in place once you get it where you want it. Use plenty of wood blocks or other stuff you have laying around. CAUTION/WARNING: NEVER USE CONCRETE BLOCKS OR CLAY BRICKS FOR SUPPORTING ANY PART OF THE CAR OR ENGINE. THEY WILL SHATTER AND COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH. You want the carburetor mounting pad of the intake manifold to be level with the ground fore/aft and side to side. Use a bubble level on the pad. Never mind what the attitude of the car is, level the motor by the carb pad on the intake manifold. You can move the motor/trans unit sideways off the centerline if you want to, to miss the steering box or whatever. The trick is, you want the whole unit to be parallel with the centerline of the car (90 degrees to the centerline of the rear axles). You do not want the engine/trans skewed in there. You want the centerline of the crankshaft to be parallel with the centerline of the car. If you move the motor to the passenger side of the car, then move the transmission tailshaft the same amount to the passenger side. It's difficult to explain properly without a diagram to show you, but maybe you will figure what I'm saying. Pay attention to the motor against the firewall. You want to leave enough room to get a socket on the bellhousing bolts to drop the housing later on for repairs. Also, you want some room between the top of the bellhousing and the bottom of the tunnel to allow radiator air to escape and cool things down. Probably the easiest way to install the motor is to use a custom crossmember that utilizes the motor mount brackets on it. Here's an example... http://www.summitracing.com/parts/TRD-4819/ You can trim the tube if you end up with the motor moved laterally. Just remember that the clearance between the trans or bellhousing will become tighter also, so don't forget to leave room between the tunnel/floor of the car for everything to fit and work properly. If the stock engine crossmember is in the way, chop it out of there. You can add a crossmember or two once you have the motor located with the tubular mount. Same thing with the transmission mount. Chop the stock crossmember out and use a tubular aftermarket piece. http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Straig...ount,3279.html When I do an engine swap, I bolt headers onto the motor before finalizing the mounts so that I know they'll fit. If there is any sheetmetal in the way, cut it out with a Sawzall or other tool. Headers are too important to allow something to get in their way in my opinion. Go to a boneyard and choose a mid-70's car that had a 302 in it. Cut the radiator core support out of it right next to the fenders. Also get the radiator, shroud, fan clutch and OEM steel fan. Once the motor is in place and finalized, cut the stock core support out of the car and weld in the boneyard core support once you have the water pump, fan, and fan clutch attached to the motor. you will want the radiator attached to the support and the shroud in place as well. Position the fan blades in the center of the shroud hole with the fan halfway in and halfway out of the shroud hole. Purchase a brand new radiator and fan clutch for the year of the core support you got at the boneyard. This will assure a bulletproof installation. At least it always has for me. OK, there's an overview. Do some reading and get to it. Last edited by techinspector1; 09-01-2010 at 08:08 PM. |
The operation of this forum will not allow you to edit your post after a short time. I have no idea why that is, but will add something to the above post here.
You will need to re-position the hood latch onto the new core support. I usually use some 1/2" square tubing to make a sort of divining rod looking affair that will bolt to the fender bolt holes on each side of the body that will locate where the latch goes. If you think about this, you'll figure it out. |

State sauerkraut cannery sued by farmworker advocates
A federal class action law suit has been filed in Green Bay against GLK Foods, the largest sauerkraut producer in the world.
The lawsuit was filed Wednesday on behalf of more than 100 Mexican guest workers who were brought to the U. S. to work at the sauerkraut cannery and who claim they were then fired after a new prevailing wage was mandated by the Labor Department.
Farmworker Justice, a non- profit group that works to help migrant and seasonal farmworkers improve their living and working conditions, and the Chicago law firm of Huges Socol Piers Resnick & Dym (HSPRD) filed the suit.
GLK supplies America's top selling sauerkraut brands to retailers throughout the country.
"Producing sauerkraut need not be a sour experience for workers," said Bruce Goldstein, president of Farmerworker Justice. "Worker mistreatment and violation of federal labor laws like that at GLK are all too common for guest workers," he said. "Employers like GLK should be held accountable for clear contractual violations and mistreatment of this vulnerable segment of the workforce."
The workers came to the country with H-2B guest worker visas in 2011, but were fired after the U. S. Department of Labor issued a new prevailing wage formula that would have increased the wages at firms that hire guest workers, according to the suit.
While Congress later blocked the labor department from implementing the wage increase, GLK fired the guest workers in favor of a migrant work crew provided by a farm labor contractor from Florida, the suit states.
The guest workers cut, trimmed and prepared raw cabbages for sauerkraut. But the work lasted less than two months, which was not enough to repay the thousands of dollars in recruitment fees, travel and immigration expenses that the workers were illegally required to pay to work for GLK, the suit says.
It adds that terminating the H-2B guest workers in 2011 was a clear violation of federal and state laws.
Goldstein called the guest worker system "fundamentally broken."
Guest workers with "nonimmigrant" status have no bargaining power with their employer and wages are kept low for both guest workers and their domestic counterparts, he said.
"Recruitment abuses in the program have lead to cases of debt peonage, human trafficking, forced labor and wage theft," he said.
The workers involved have received information and other assistance from the Mexican government's consulate in accordance with the Vienna Convention of Consular Relations to which the U. S. and Mexico are both parties, according to a news release from Farmworker Justice.

SG3. The Ewells are very filthy people. Bob Ewell, the father, is an alcoholic and is always drinking. The oldest daughter is Mayella. She is nineteen and a half years old. She is a very lonely, and is said to have gotten raped by Tom Robinson. The younger siblings only go to school the first day, so no one would bother them. They live behind the local dumpster. They are always dirty, and never clean people.
ReplyDeletesg6. atticus has Mr. ewell write his name to find out which hand he writes with. this also helps build the case that mr. Ewell beat up maywell. If you are standing in front of someone and you punch with your left hand you would hit them on the right side of the face. And since Tom was cripple with his left arm it would be impossible for him to beat her up.
ReplyDeleteSG2: Mayella was apparently horribly injured on the day that she was raped. It was stated that she got a black eye on her right eye and all around her neck was bruised. She was also harshly bruised on her arms and the rest of her body was beaten up. With all this said, Atticus was still determined to trap them into getting Mr. Heck Tate to provide false information about the Tom Robinson case and to prove Tom innocent.

Jesse Lingard scored all four goals on his debut as Birmingham City beat Sheffield Wednesday 4-1 at St Andrews.
The 20-year-old, who only joined the Championship side on loan from Manchester United on Thursday, had never previously scored in the League.
In an astonishing 13-minute first-half blitz, Lingard claimed the opener after 20 minutes before adding two more – in the 27th and 33rd minutes – to make it a hat-trick and 3-0 at the break.
The striker added his fourth six minutes into the second half before Kamil Zayatte claimed a consolation for Dave Jones' struggling side.
Another forward on loan from Manchester United, Federico Macheda, scored twice on his debut for Doncaster in their 2-2 home draw with Nottingham Forest.
Austin powers up QPR
Charlie Austin converted a disputed penalty as Queens Park Rangers maintained top spot in the Championship table with a 1-0 victory at Yeovil Town.
The former Burnley striker earned the 75-minute spot-kick himself after Dan Seaborne was adjudged to have impeded him in the area. The result meant a fifth successive home defeat for Yeovil and a sixth consecutive clean sheet in all competitions for Harry Redknapp's side.
Deeney delight for Watford
Troy Deeney dispatched his sixth goal of the season as Watford continued their strong start with a 5-1 thrashing of Barnsley at Oakwell. Davide Faraoni, Fernando Forestieri and Sean Murray were also on target before Ikechi Anya ran more than half the length of the pitch to fire home the fifth with 11 minutes left.
Jason Scotland's 13th-minute effort for the hosts had earlier cancelled out Deeney's opener.
McDonald's happy feel
Striker Scott McDonald scored his first goal for Millwall as Steve Lomas' side celebrated their second win in a week with a 1-0 victory at Charlton.
The ex-Middlesbrough forward struck shortly before half-time with a deflected effort from outside the area. After failing to win any of their first six matches, Millwall have now leapfrogged their neighbours in the table. "We've got to realise it will be a tough old season but we have to believe we can turn it around," said Chris Powell, Charlton's manager.
Burnley hit new heights
Burnley climbed to second place in the Championship with a 2-1 win at Leeds. Sean Dyche's side were outstanding in the first half and goals from Scott Arfield and Sam Vokes put them in charge at the interval. Leeds improved in the second period but had only Matt Smith's consolation to show for their efforts. "I consider us a team that is both growing and improving," said Dyche.
Freedman: My job is safe
Bolton suffered their fifth league defeat of the season following a spectacular second-half collapse at the Amex Stadium.
Brighton's 3-1 victory increases the pressure on Wanderers' manager Dougie Freedman, particularly as his side were gifted a first-half lead when David Lopez put through his own net. But Brighton scored three times in four second-half minutes – through Jay Spearing's own goal, Inigo Calderon and Will Buckley – to turn the tide. "I think my job is very safe," Freedman said. "When you've been in the game for so long you learn how to deal with speculation about being sacked."
Mowbray slams defence
Tony Mowbray criticised his Middlesbrough defence after their 3-3 home draw with Bournemouth.
Boro were two down inside 12 minutes from Brett Pitman's two penalties but levelled through Kei Kamara and Mustapha Carayol.
Grant Leadbitter then put hosts in front before Bournemouth snatched a point late on when Jonathan Woodgate turned a cross into his own net. "We didn't defend well enough, we gave away two penalties and an own goal," said Mowbray. "No one is happy with that. Something has to change."
Valiant effort in vain
Coventry City had more fans at Port Vale for their 3-2 League One defeat (3,200 tickets were sold in advance) than the average home League crowd (around 2,000 including away fans) at their new home in Northampton. Chris Birchall scored the winner against his former club.
Posh on cloud nine
Peterborough hung on to claim a dramatic 2-1 win over MK Dons despite being reduced to nine men at London Road. Nathaniel Knight-Percival was sent off in the sixth minute for a foul and Mark Little followed in the second half.

No sew DIY T-shirt to tank tutorial
Hey guys! It's the 1st of August & I have an easy tutorial for you. I'm going to show you how to turn an old (or new) t-shirt into a super cute tank top for yourself.
If you're anything like me you have a few over-sized t-shirts just laying around that go unworn. Actually, we have a ton of them in my house. My husband is quite particular about how his shirts fit. Most of his shirts have to hang dry, which means I've accidentally shrunk a few of them from time to time. Which also means my husband will never wear the shirt again, but he still likes to keep them hanging in the closet to occasionally try on & discard on the floor. I decided to raid his closet & turn these unworn shirts into something cute for me.
If you remember my original post about this from TPP link up, I showed you this picture I found on Pinterest:
I couldn't find the instructions on how to make it though because the original link had been flagged for spam. So alas, I had to go about it on my own. I found my method to be easy & I even made it so that there is NO SEWING involved! So grab a t-shirt and follow along. It's easy, I promise.
First things first: get over the fear of cutting the shirt. I did this too. I was afraid of cutting it wrong & "ruining it." But then I remembered...this shirt is already "ruined." It's too small for my husband and it's too big for me. But I like the design (it's a shirt from his shop) and it's not being worn by anyone, so get over it. Grab some sharp scissors (or a rotary cutter if you prefer) and cut the sleeves & neck out.
You're going to cut the seams completely off, but for now stay as close to them as possible. Also, you can cut the bottom off if you want/need to make it shorter. I just didn't want the seam on the bottom of mine so I cut it off.
Next, try the shirt on. It's not gonna look very awesome yet. Grab a marker and make a few marks for where you want the straps to be so you don't cut too far. It doesn't have to be perfect.
See, I went back & cut the neck line down a little lower and made the straps skinnier.
And I went back and cut the back lower and made the straps skinnier there as well.
As this awesomely teched-out Photoshopped picture shows, you should cut more fabric off the back of the shirt than the front. How much you cut off is up to you. Keep trying it on, cut a little off at a time, & come back to cut more off again if need be. Start small & work your way up because you can't add more fabric after you've cut it off.
You'll end up with a pile of scraps. Take a nice strip of fabric (I used the strip from the bottom of the shirt) to use to make your back closure.
Place the shirt face down & kneel on it. That was the easiest position I found to do this part. Flatten out the shirt, neatly gather the back straps & bring them towards the center, then place the fabric strip underneath them like the picture shows.
How you tie it is up to you. You can simply tie it in a bow, you can use a ribbon, or some people might get all fancy-shmancy & even sew a little cuff or something around the straps. I chose the lazier version: wrapping the strip around twice & double knotting it. Neatly.
Then I cut off the excess fabric, turned the knot around & voila!
You can adjust where exactly you want the knotted part to be positioned on your back. You can move it up or down depending on how you want to wear the shirt and what look you're going for. Take it off & re-tie if it looks funny!
You might have to go back at this point, cut a little more off here or there, and re-tie the knot again. I did. 3 times! You'll figure out exactly how you want it to lay after trying it on. Make your adjustments if necessary, but now you're done.
I suggest wearing a lightweight fitted tank underneath this because the arm holes might be kind of big (especially if you are using a bigger t-shirt to start with).
Is this DIY tank perfect? Not really. If you are a perfectionist when it comes to sewing or crafting, this might not be for you. It doesn't require a lot of measuring and it even has raw, unfinished edges.(oh the horror!) But I love it and it's exactly what I wanted. Instead of this shirt ending up on the floor of my husband's closet every week (again, never really worn), now I can wear it with a cute pair of shorts for the rest of the summer. Heck, I might even get a little more wear out it by pairing it with jeans, boots, & a little jacket in the fall. It would just look like a fitted shirt underneath the right jacket or cardigan.
And just think: if you use a shirt from your husband, boyfriend, brother, dad, grandpa, uncle, cousin, son, etc... closet it's probably going to look way cuter on you than it did him, so go for it & have fun doing it. If this style of tank isn't for you, that's OK. It would also be great as a cheap & easy work out shirt, or simply something other than a giant sack to wear to bed. Have fun & get creative.

There is absolutely no way to describe the best of Chinese cuisine on this page. The variety, styles, and methods of cooking are immense. Therefore, I'll briefly highlight some key items.The difference in regional styles of cooking in China are vast for the most part. Think of trying to compare Mexican cuisine with French.
What is served often in most average Chinese restaurants in the Western part of the world, is not true authentic chinese cuisine. Although much of it based on dishes served in China, particularly Cantonese, Hunan, and Szechuan they have been modifed to fit the tastes of Westerners. Also, many of the ingredients used in China would be costly to import and/or prepare for the masses in Western countries. However, if you happen to live in or near an area with a decent sized Chinese population you should have no trouble finding a restaurant that offers authentic cuisine.

On Thursday morning, January 4, the management of Kellogg's Cereal City USA called the economic development council in Battle Creek, Michigan, and told them that it would not be open for business that day. Further, it would not be open for business on any other day in the future, ever, period.... [01/06/2007] Complete News Story
Kellogg's Cereal City USA is more like the World of Coca-Cola than Hershey's Chocolate World. There is a mini factory inside, taking corn grit and turning it into boxes of corn flakes before my very eyes. Free samples of hot corn flakes are available.
There is a multi-media presentation consisting of two big video screens and statues of Snap, Krackle, Pop, and a surfing Tony the Tiger. These mascots, the Sweetheart of the Corn, the Kellogg Brothers, and C.W. Post tell the history of the sanitarium, corn flakes, and the company.
Kellogg's doesn't deny that marketing has been a huge part of its success. Mascots, premiums, and celebrity television commercials are everywhere. I especially liked the two chairs with buttons on the armrests. You can pick cereal commercials to watch, from Jimmy Durante to the Partridge Family, Pete and Gladys to the Flintstones, Dennis the Menace to My Favorite Martian.
There is a little play area for kids, very much like the ones found at McDonald's, except for the giant soft Froot Loops.
The gift shop was disappointing. There were spoons (of course) and bowls, but the T-shirt selection was limited (L was the largest size) and there were no snow domes or tilt pens.
[Craig S. Thom, 04/10/1999]This is a surreal experience. A relatively new two story building takes you on an adventure through the history of cereal and Kelloggs, cereal around the world, vote for your favorite cereal, and lots of healthful promotional info about how great Kellogs cereal is. You can eat cereal/ice cream concoctions at their snack bar. Half of the lower level is taken up by the gift shop (a plus in my book).
[Joe, 08/20/1998]The very popular original Kelloggs factory tour was closed down in the mid-1980s, in part due to corporate fears of industrial espionage. Cereal City solves the problem in much the same fashion as Hershey's "Chocolate World," another popular pseudo-destination.

Steve Wozniak interview while waiting in line for the new iPad
"And I'm really happy for young people to have an outlet to create, especially apps for the phone. It's like a class of people who aren't big, rich companies that already have it made. They're just young people, who have a talent – they can make something special and as good as they can, and they find out, 'Oh, I can make a little money, or I can lose some money, but now I can try something else.' Getting that little experience in business and entrepreneurship and what it's lead to for me in my life, I'm always a big supporter of it."
