Finally! Our profession gets its own movie, thanks to a novel written by Hannibal Lecter creator Thomas Harris. We should be flattered that the mind responsible for one of the most compelling characters of all time thought of our profession as worthy of a novel, and that Hollywood finally gave us our due.
I finally got to see "Ghost Writer" on a recent flight and thoroughly enjoyed it. For one thing, it adds a little glamour to what we do, and in the movie, the titular ghostwriter, played with wry perfection by Ewan McGregor, gets a nice hefty paycheck of ten million pounds to ghost the memoirs of former British PM Adam Lang, played with heavy creep factor by Pierce Brosnan. Famous client, great pay, and the manuscript is already written…by the previous ghost, who died mysteriously.
This is where fiction and fantasy enter in. The movie, while true to the spirit of what we do, is about as realistic as TV cop or medical dramas. I personally have never gotten an assignment because the previous writer died. (In fact, as a previous blog post points out, clients are far more likely to do a vanishing act.) I also have never gotten such a notorious client as Adam Lang, who's under investigation by the International Court for war crimes in the Iraq War. (But who's to say it couldn't happen?) I do have clients with stories that can tear you up, but I've never been thrown into an international controversy. Or been the potential witness to dirty deeds. (Thank God.)
However, I found that "Ghost Writer" treated the profession with respect and accuracy in many ways. To wit…
1. Tough deadlines. The Ghost is given a month to polish and finish what his predecessor started. Granted, this month of intensive exclusive work includes complete in person access to the client. After the media frenzy reaches the remote American island where Lang stays, the ghost writer gets to sleep and work in Lang's residence. Useful for meeting deadlines…even if The Ghost may literally face life and death meeting his.
2. Research. Although my research has taken my projects down unexpected paths, with the clients along for the ride, I've never gone to the extremes The Ghost does. His efforts in piecing together what happened to his predecessor efforts prove the value of researching a client…Also, his insistence on clarifying the timeline of his client's political activism prove to be the kind of tenacity you need as a ghost writer.
3. NDAS. I have been under a code of silence, but never been told, "the manuscript is not to leave this room. It is not to be copied." Still, client confidentiality is a hallmark of the business.
4. Bad openings. Lang's manuscript starts with his family history! McGregor's utter frustration and disbelief are spot on when he reads the opening.
5. Personal entanglement. So many of my clients become my friends, and in many respects it's like adding a dozen or more family members. However, there's something sinister and codependent in the way that McGregor's character gets entangled with Lang, his wife, and Lang's admin/mistress.
6. Reading between the lines. The Ghost meets with Lang's enemy, an MP who advises him the previous Ghost coded a hidden message in the manuscript. Proof positive that an eye for detail is necessary in this profession!

I've been busy in the last week or so juggling with both work and getting my stuff ready for our Belize trip. This time around I've chosen to bring two Blythes along. It's quite a handful lugging two big-headed dolls around so I'm not sure how much camera time they will be getting but I'll try my best.
|(from left to right) Gia and Bebe
As it is, Bebe and Gia are slightly traumatized since they had been frisked for the first time at the Toronto Pearson airport on our connecting flight to Miami. Let me tell you how unhappy airport people are at 4:30 in the morning! So I thought I'd give the dolls first dibs on the bed to make them forget the trauma. I have a feeling their big eyes may have scared the person looking through the x-ray machine at Pearson! Hahahaha!
It was around 4:10ish-pm when we arrived at the San Ignacio hotel. Right away we were given a complimentary fruit punch, mine spiked with rum for that extra kick! The dollies would like to commemorate this tasty rummy moment!
'Til next time...if I don't pass out from our next few days' activities!

It was a caterpillar massacre out there on the bike path. Bodies strewn across it like a tank had crashed into a WWI trench throwing little fur balls everywhere. I rescued this one and it curled up in my palm like a scared little soldier. Dropped it off on the other side and said, "carry on."
Followers on G+ have been critiquing this post, including observations of a pessimistic Mothra allusion and what happens after the cliffhanger.
Should the protagonist meet up with the butterfly and ride together in a transformative nature sort of a Occupy Bike Path theme? Or, as Joe Julian wrote
(it) grew into a beautiful butterfly, flapped its wings, and caused a hurricane that wiped out the eastern seaboard

St. Louis driver gives new meaning to the word 'roadblock'
A driver in St. Louis returned to their car only to find it bordered by newly paved asphalt.
Workers decided to just move around the parked car because it appears there wasn't a "no parking" sign nearby, which would have allowed them to tow the vehicle.
Instagram user gaslightstl posted a picture of the dilemma with the caption: So it's #cheaper to pave around cars than tow. BUT... park in front of a #firehydrant on a #vacant block and they'll tow you in no time flat!!! #cityofstl killing the #logic game! #streetdept #jobsecurity or #cityofficial #plates ?????

Children's Blouson Jacket 03/2013 My Variation
Added Jul 24, 2013
by jadedrabbit
Toronto, Canada
Thought that the Children's Blouson Jacket patternwould be a good starting point for making a coat for my niece. The coat is made from some leftover pieces of embroidered wool, some ribbed jersey and cacha lining, and a little piece of corduroy. I really didn't change the overall pattern that much, just the pockets and collar. I lined the collar with the ribbing to match the cuffs and hem. The pockets are lined with the purple cacha lining. And I used Prym snap fasteners down the front.
UPDATE: My little niece had a growth spurt of about 3 1/2 inches. So sadly this jacket no longer fits her. It's now going to another little girl who could use a coat.

Claremont, Calif. - Freshman quarterback Alex Bresler threw for a touchdown, ran for a touchdown and caught a touchdown in the first half, and the Pomona-Pitzer Football team held its lead in the second half to capture a 31-23 win over La Verne on Saturday evening.
With the win, Pomona-Pitzer improves to 2-4 overall and 2-2 in the SCIAC, while winning its second straight game, after defeating Whittier 17-10 in overtime last weekend. La Verne falls to 3-3 overall and 2-2 in the SCIAC with the loss.
Senior defensive back Weston Staubus had two interceptions and broke up the final play of the game for La Verne in the end zone to seal the win.
Bresler opened the scoring when he found senior wide receiver Ryan Randle for a short pass over the middle in the first quarter. Randle was wrapped up on the catch, but broke the tackle and scampered the rest of the way for a 39-yard touchdown to make the score 6-0 with 10:46 left in the first quarter.
The score remaining the same until the second quarter, when the Sagehens opened up their bag of tricks on fourth down from the La Verne 22. Bresler threw a swing pass to sophomore running back Brett Harper which traveled a yard backwards. Harper faked as if he was going to run, stopped and threw the ball back across the field to Bresler, who tightroped the sideline and ran in for a 22-yard touchdown.
As if that wasn't enough, the Sagehens then faked the extra point with Harper running an option with senior kicker Michael Weil, with Weil taking the pitch and just getting over the line before hitting the ground on a tackle to make the score 14-0.
La Verne struck back on a 30-yard pass from Justin Gomez to John Lilly, but Bresler finished off his run-pass-catch touchdown trifecta by feeling pressure in the backfield and taking off up the middle for a 53-yard touchdown with 4:09 left in the third quarter to make the score 21-7.
The Leopards came right back as Dallas Parent returned the ensuing kickoff 77 yards to the Pomona-Pitzer 12, and two plays later, Travis Sparks-Jackson scored on a nine-yard run to make it 21-14. La Verne added an Alex Miller field goal on the final play of the half to make the score 21-17 at the break, and another Miller field goal from 30 yards accounted for all of the scoring in the third quarter.
However, Pomona-Pitzer took advantage of a Staubus interception and run back to the La Verne 20 late in the third. Bresler found sophomore tight end Sean Mulcahy for a juggling catch on the final play of the third quarter to give the Sagehens first and goal at the La Verne four-yard line, and after the teams changed ends, Harper ran the ball in, keeping his feet after being tripped up in the backfield momentarily to make the score 28-20.
Weil then hit a key 25-yard field goal from the left hash to make it a two possession game with 9:10 remaining at 31-20. Miller answered with his third field goal of the game from 35 yards with 6:28 to go, and the Leopards earned one final chance after a stop, taking over on their own 46. The Sagehen defense appeared to be on the verge of holding on a pass break-up by Nelson Cole in the back of the end zone, but a roughing the passer penalty gave the Leopards first-and-goal at the 10.
After gaining five yards on a rush, sophomore defensive tackle Grant Frazier, who began the year as a fullback, broke through the line to earn a quarterback sack and set up a fourth-and-10. Gomez looked for Lilly along the left edge of the end zone, but Staubus was able to get a hand in and knock the ball free to seal the win.
Harper finiahed with 85 yards on 18 carries for the Sagehens, while also throwing a touchdown pass. Sophomore Jack Pietrykowski led the receiving corps with seven catches for 81 yards, as leading receiver Duncan Hussey missed the game with an injury suffered last weekend at Whittier. Randle was also lost for the game with a second-quarter leg injury after tallying four catches for 60 yards, leaving Bresler without his two top targets.
Junior linebacker Matt O'Connor had 12 tackles to lead the defense, while senior linebackers Kyle Roskamp and Nick Sbardellati each had nine. Gomez finished with 233 yards passing for La Verne, but threw three interceptions, two to Staubus and one to junior Don Swan.
Pomona-Pitzer will be back in action at home next weekend for its home finale against Occidental in the annual Battle for the Drum, one of the oldest college rivalries in football, dating back to the 1890s.

Uttarakhand [1], until 2007 known as Uttaranchal, is a stunningly beautiful state in the Himalayan North of India. It is broken up into a western part, named "Garhwal", and an eastern part named "Kumaon". Garhwal is more easily accessed.
Two main regions of Uttarakhand are :
Each region has its own distinct culture and language.
Other destinations
The local languages are Kumaoni and Garhwali, but everyone also speaks Hindi. English is not so common, but well-understood and spoken in some parts.
Get in
There are many ways to enter Uttrakhand. If you are interested in seeing the Garhwal region you can enter through either Haridwar or Kotdwar. Haridwar is the more popular entrance. For both options there are regular bus and train services available from New Delhi.
Get around
Nainital, Mussoorie and Ranikhet though it's better to treat these slightly overcrowded, touristy 'hill stations' as base camps to explore lots of other hidden jewels further afield in UK. In Garhwal, Pauri and Gwaldam there are very peaceful & scenic places. In the Kumaon region if are near Almora and want to stay in a secluded area, try Peora or Mukteshwar. Dunagiri in Almora district is a stunningly beautiful area off the beaten track. But do remember in Uttarakhand the journey itself is destination.
Bhowali is situated at a distance of 11kms, from Nainital, at an altitude of 1706 mts, from the level of sea. This place provides a panoramic view of the nature. This place if famous for its panoramic view as well as hill fruit mart, which was established in 1912.
Rajaji National Park: Rajaji National park always attracts to wildlife enthusiasts and nature lovers. This place is located around 208km from Delhi and around 9 km from Haridwar. This park remains open from November to June for the tourists.
Badrinath Temple: This beautiful temple is located near to Alaknanda River, at an altitude of 3133 meters above from the sea level. This temple is dedicated to the Lord Vishnu.
Dehradun: Dehradun is the capital city of the Uttaranchal state. This is one of the oldest cities of India, located in mountain range of Himalayan. This city is also termed as the "Oxford of India", as it is best known educational centres of India.
"Hotel Ganga Kinare (237, Virbhadra Road, Rishikesh, India, +911146223300, [email protected])is the best located hotel in Rishikesh ( http://wikimapia.org/313600/Hotel-Ganga-Kinare ). The hotel is located along the right bank of the Ganga and overlooks the picturesque Rajaji National Park. Hotel Ganga Kinare has played host to the internationally renowned International Yoga Week on 9 occasions and has played a huge role in spreading the popularity of rishikesh as the most important Yoga destination globally. Its list of clientele includes various heads of states, international personalities and celebrities from both within India and internationally.
The hotel has two beautifully landscaped lawns - Ganga Vatika and Sadhna. These lawns are liked most by the Yoga Groups for their morning sessions and for spiritual lectures and programs. The property also boasts of probably one of "the most idyllic coffee shop - Rangoli - anywhere in the world". Sitting on the deck gives one a feeling of moving on water as the river flows below it. The Hotel also has a Machan, a place on the bank of river Ganga overlooking a beauty of nature, where in-house guests can have small gatherings, right in the lap of nature.
Hotel Ganga Kinare also has the Ganga Devi Temple situated on its private ghat where an in-house Pujari is available for private pujas and rituals. Daily Ganga Aarti in the morning and evening is performed. A special Aarti for Guests is also arranged on request in advance. Hotel has a PRIVATE GHAT for bathing and holy dip in the river Ganga, Private Bathrooms and Changing rooms at Ghat for those who want absolute privacy, bath towels and Gowns available on request."
Uttarakhand is a great place for trekking. At the lower levels, there are forests and wildlife. At the upper reaches, you go past the tree line to snow clad mountains. There are many trip designs which can be conceived of, but there are perhaps around 20 trips which are the most popular. See also: Leave-no-trace camping and Wilderness backpacking
Pretty much all kinds of food are available here.
In the tourists centers such as Badrinath, Gujarati, Marwari, and other regional cuisines are available for the hordes of religious pilgrims that descend on the holy sites every summer.
Uttarakhand has high excise taxes on beer and alcohol: a bottle of beer can cost 80-90 rupees, nearly double the price of some other states in India. Quite a few holy towns including Haridwar and Rishikesh are officially dry. Cannabis is illegal, but widely used anyway.
Stay safe
The roads are a bit tricky, and taxi rides in the hills may appear dangerous, but otherwise Uttarakhand is a pretty safe place for tourists. However, tourists are known to encounter problems in the urban centers and the plains districts such as Haridwar.

The Effect of Physical Geometry on the Frequency Response of Carbon Nanotube Field-Effect Transistors
Additional materials available (2)
Licensed according to this deed.
Published on
In order for carbon nanotube (CNT) electrical devices to be fabricated, it is necessary to obtain modifiable operation characteristics. Developing parametric equations to achieve this controllability in the vertical field-effect transistor (FET) design is an important first step toward fabrication. The capacitances associated with the physical geometry of the porous anodic alumina (PAA)-based CNTFET are explored and developed into a parametric equation for the unity current gain frequency (fT) of the device. Comparisons are drawn between predicted vertical CNTFET characteristics and those of an ideal, back-gated counterpart in the areas of unity current gain frequency and current density.

AIKEN, S.C. - Reigning PBC Tournament champion Clayton State
took its first step to defending its title with a 63-48 victory
over tournament newcomer Georgia Southwestern State on Wednesday
evening in first-round action of the 2009 Peach Belt Conference
Men's Basketball Championship.
The Lakers (15-13) advance to the PBC Quarterfinals where they will face host and No. 2 seed USC Aiken on Friday, March 6, at 7:00 p.m. Georgia Southwestern State sees its season end with a 10-18 record.
Clayton State opened up a four-point lead at halftime, 33-29, thanks to a pressure defense that forced 12 turnovers by the Hurricanes. Brian Kelly made 6-of-8 shots in the first half for 12 points to lead the Lakers, while Georgia Southwestern State kept things close by making 6-of-10 three-pointers in the first period.
The Lakers scored the first five points of the second half on a Bernard Fields layup and a Ricky Garrett three-pointer to stretch that lead out to nine, but back-to-back three-pointers by Evan Mobley and Anthony Sargent cut the Clayton State advantage to three, 38-35, with 15:53 left.
A Trey Goss three-pointer made the lead two possessions again, where it stayed until a breakaway dunk by Ricky Garrett extended the Laker lead to eight, 53-45, with 6:21 left. Georgia Southwestern State made just one basket over the final six minutes, allowing the Lakers to pull away for the victory.
Kelly finished the night with a game-high 19 points for the Lakers, while Jaquas Dobbs and Will Lewis each added 12 points. The Lakers forced 22 turnovers in the game and registered 12 steals.
Georgia Southwestern State was led by PBC Freshman of the Year Evan Mobley's 13 points and Anthony Sargent's 11 points. The Hurricanes hit 9-of-27 three-pointers for the game, but connected on only 3-of-17 from beyond the arc in the second half, and shot just one free throw in the contest.
Seniors Anthony Sargent and Ric Russell played their final games in the blue and gold. Sargent ended his prolific career at GSW 22 points shy of 1000, having scored 978 points in two seasons.

US stocks drift higher following mixed earnings
July 23, 2014
NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stock indexes edged mostly higher as traders looked over a mixed batch of corporate earnings.
The meager gains were enough to mark another high close for the Standard & Poor's 500 index.
The S&P 500 edged up three points, or 0.2 percent, to 1,987. That was two points higher than its last record close reached on July 3.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 26 points, or 0.2 percent, to 17,086. The Nasdaq composite rose 17 points, or 0.4 percent, to 4,473.
Boeing fell 2 percent, the most in the Dow, after reporting disappointing revenue. Apple rose 3 percent after reporting big gains in iPhone sales.
Bond prices were little changed. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note held steady at 2.47 percent.

Pricing your home for sale
When you put your house on the market, setting the price is one of the most important decisions you make. Many Realtors believe that pricing is can make or break your sale. Under-price your home and you might cost yourself tens of thousands of dollars. Overprice your home and you risk watching it languish on the market. But how can a seller know exactly what the best price is?
Can you rely on Zillow? Not according to Zillow. Even in areas where the software has the highest confidence, Zillow says their pricing varies by 5% to 10%.
You can rely on your Realtor. Nesbitt Realty's agents have years of experience pricing homes for sale and helping buyers and sellers. They combine this experience with proprietary real estate software to give you a valuation you can trust and to help you make your best decision possible.

The mood was heavy for the Jacksonville baseball team at John Sessions Stadium. Curtis Alexander, the father of Jacksonville baseball coach Terry Alexander, had passed away earlier in the morning.
The win by the Bisons ended a four-game winning streak for Jacksonville which won the series, billed as the Atlantic Sun Conference "Series of the Week" 2-1.
The Bisons took command of the game early, scoring runs in the first, second and third innings.
In the first M.L. Williams led off the game with a double down the right field line. Tyler Wilson followed with a single through the left side. Branden Cadavid reached base on a fielder's choice allowing Williams to score.
Justin Sanders opened the second inning by slamming a triple, his fourth of the season, down the left field line. Logan Hostettler brought Sanders across the plate with a single left field.
Wilson was hit by Jacksonville's pitcher to start the third inning. Cadavid was safe again on a fielder's choice as Wilson was out at second. Andrew Nickerson then grounded out to the pitcher. With two outs Allen Bolden singled to right field to score Cadavid.
The Bisons had 10 hits with M.L. Williams, Bolden and Hostettler getting two hits each. M.L. Williams and Cadavid each had a double.
McClurg, 5-4, pitched eight innings. He did not give up a run until the ninth inning when he gave up two. He walked one batter and struck out nine.
Kyle Tognazzini came on in relief and picked up his seventh save by getting the final three outs. He struck out one and walked one.
The Bisons raised their record to 17-26, 11-10 in the A-Sun. Jacksonville is 27-13, 16-6 in the conference.

And now that you know what to expect from this set of articles, it's time to review the topics that were discussed in the last one. In that installment of the series, I explained how to build a simple factory class that could return to client code objects that represented a couple of common web form elements, including input text boxes and text areas.
Naturally, these objects were created by a basic factory method, which was always called in the object context, that is, dynamically. However, the most relevant aspect to note with reference to the way that this factory class was defined was the existence of a static method called "getInstance()," which returned Singletons of the class in question.
Also, it's worth mentioning that the implementation of this static method followed a simple, important rule: it did not deal with multiple instances of the factory class within a given script. Even though this approach does permit you to work with a unique instance of the mentioned class, it can be improved even further.
But how can this be done? Well, as a rule of thumb, classes that create an instance of themselves should implement a static factory method that returns Singletons, while factory classes that spawn other objects should have only a static factory method.
The form element factory class created in the previous article falls under this last category. Therefore, in the next few lines I'm going to change the declaration of its factory method to make it static. This way, no instance of this class will be required to create form element objects.
If this explanation sounds rather confusing to you, then dissipate that cloud of doubt and begin reading now!
{mospagebreak title=Review: implementing the Singleton pattern inside a factory class}
Before I start explaining how to change the definition of the factory class built in the preceding tutorial to make its factory method static, I'd like to review how this class could be used in its original state to create a pair of web form element objects very quickly.
That being said, here are the definitions corresponding to the classes that render those web form elements. Look at them, please:
// define TextBox class
class TextBox
private $name = 'mytextbox';
private $id = 'textbox';
private $class = 'textbox';
private $maxlength = 20;
// constructor
public function __construct($attributes = array())
if (empty($attributes) === FALSE)
foreach ($attributes as $attribute => $value)
if (in_array($attribute, array('name', 'id', 'class', 'maxlength')) and empty($value) === FALSE)
$this->$attribute = $value;
// renders input text box element
public function render()
return '<input type="text" name="' . $this->name . '" id="' . $this->id . '" class="' . $this->class . '" maxlength="' . $this->maxlength . '" />';
// define TextArea class
class TextArea
private $name = 'mytextarea';
private $id = 'textarea';
private $class = 'textarea';
private $rows = 10;
private $cols = 20;
// constructor
public function __construct($attributes = array())
if (empty($attributes) === FALSE)
foreach ($attributes as $attribute => $value)
if (in_array($attribute, array('name', 'id', 'class', 'rows', 'cols')) and empty($value) === FALSE)
$this->$attribute = $value;
// renders textarea element
public function render()
return '<textarea name="' . $this->name . '" id="' . $this->id . '" class="' . $this->class . '" rows="' . $this->rows . '" cols="' . $this->cols . '"></textarea>';
Undeniably, understanding the driving logic of the two classes above should be a straightforward process for you. All they do is return via their "render()" public method the markup required to display on screen some input text boxes and text areas, in accordance with the arguments passed to their constructors. Period.
Moving forward, it's time to show the definition of the factory class, which returns to client code instances of the previous classes. In addition, it's valid to notice that this factory class implements a static "getInstance()" method, which simply returns Singletons of that class.
Here's how this sample class looks:
class FormElementFactory
private static $instance = NULL;
// get Singleton instance of form element factory class
public static function getInstance()
if (self::$instance === NULL)
self::$instance = new FormElementFactory;
return self::$instance;
public function factory($formElement, $attributes = array())
if ($formElement === 'textbox' or $formElement === 'textarea')
return new $formElement($attributes);
As seen above, the "factory()" method defined within the previous class is tasked with spawning HTML form element objects, while its "getInstance()" static method is responsible for returning only one instance of the class. Simple to code and read, right?
So far, so good. Having shown you the definitions corresponding to all of these sample classes, it's time to set up an example that puts them to work together. So, here's a simple script that does exactly that. Pay close attention to it:
// create instance of FormElementFactory class using its 'getInstance()' method
$formFactory = FormElementFactory::getInstance();
// create some form elements objects
$texBox = $formFactory->factory('textbox');
$textArea = $formFactory->factory('textarea');
// display form elements
echo $texBox->render() . '
' . $textArea->render();
There you have it. As this script shows, it's extremely easy to take advantage of the functionality provided by the factory class to create a couple of web form element objects. Finally, once those objects are brought into existence, displaying their markup is only a matter of calling their "render()" method and nothing else.
However, not everything looks good in this example, unfortunately. To spawn the corresponding web form element objects, at least one single instance of the factory class had to be created. This necessity can be avoided easily by calling its "factory()" method out of the object context.
To do things the right way, however, the method in question should be declared static too. So, in the next section I'm going to introduce this small change into the definition of the pertinent factory class, thus making its factory method much more efficient.
To learn more on this updating process, read the following segment. It's only one click away.{mospagebreak title=Defining a static factory method}
To considerably improve the efficiency of the factory class that you saw in the previous segment, I'm going to perform a two-step changing process: first its factory method will be declared static, and then its "getInstance()" method will be removed, since it won't be required anymore.
That being explained, please have a look at the modified definition of the factory class:
// define FormElementFactory class
class FormElementFactory
public static function factory($formElement, $attributes = array())
if ($formElement === 'textbox' or $formElement === 'textarea')
return new $formElement($attributes);
See how simple it is to turn the sample factory class into a more compact and useful piece of code? I guess you do! Of course, the class's enhanced definition shows how its static factory method is capable of easily creating web form element objects, and best of all, without having to deal with any instances of the factory itself.
Naturally, if you're like me, then you're eager to see how the improved version of the factory class can be used in a concrete case. With that idea in mind, in the final section of this tutorial I'm going to set up an illustrative example that will show how to utilize the class to create some HTML form element objects.
To learn how this example will be developed, click on the link that appears below and read the upcoming segment.{mospagebreak title=Calling a factory method out of the object scope}
In the previous section the definition of the sample factory class was subtly modified, and its factory method was turned into a static one — so now we need to see how this specific method can be used for creating web form element objects in a few simple steps.
Thus, below I coded a final script, which clearly demonstrates this process. Here it is:
$texBox = FormElementFactory::factory('textbox');
$textArea = FormElementFactory::factory('textarea');
// display web form elements
echo $texBox->render() . '
' . $textArea->render();
Undeniably, the above code fragment shows the advantages of declaring the "factory()" method of the "FormElementFactory" class static, because thanks to this small modification, it's possible to create a pair of web form element objects without having to mess with any instances of this factory class.
While the previous example is rather primitive, it demonstrates not only how to define a factory method, but how to use it properly, without getting into bad programming habits.
Finally, feel free to edit all of the code samples included in this tutorial, so you can improve your existing skills in factoring objects in PHP 5.
Final thoughts
That's about it for the moment. Over this third episode of the series, I demonstrated how to use a static factory method to create other objects, which in this particular case were simple representations of HTML form elements, such as text areas and input boxes.
If you reread the previous sentence, you'll realize that this factory method was charged with creating instances of other classes. Nonetheless, it's also possible to define factory methods that create instances of its originating class.
That will be exactly the topic that I plan to cover in the next tutorial. So, now that you're aware of the subject of that article, you can't miss it!

"specialty," for each week they will be at camp. Mornings are spent
in this same chosen specialty all week, under the instruction of
experts in each particular area. We are proud to offer 28 amazing
programs - from Hollywood Stunts and
Secret Agent Camp to
Movie Makeup - and everything in
Imagine your child waking up in the morning and choosing exactly what
they want to do that afternoon. Campers are presented with dozens of

Righthaven Desperately Trying To Avoid Paying Legal Fees
from the keep-digging dept
That said, I wouldn't be surprised if the Appeals Court grants the stay. It's not uncommon for appeals courts to do so, and it's unclear if the Appeals Court is aware of Righthaven's continued antics in these cases. Still, in the end, I can't see Righthaven winning, so this just seems like delaying the inevitable.

The Reader's Guide Retrospective is another online database that searches periodicals back to the late 1890's.


text: If there's been one commonality among the models in Paris so far it's that they've been somewhat forgettable, anonymous, really, and on top of it, they've all looked fairly young. At least Zac Posen cast women, and a relatively wide range of beauties at that. Carmen, Jourdan, Crystal Renn, Stam, Aminata, Karlie, and Melodie all strut and all female form, amplified by Posen's super-, sometimes too-constrained silhouette. He referred to his approach as a return to shape, cut, and tailoring ("ergonomic" fashion, as he said) and the clothes were indeed body conscious. The clean, simple, long-sleeved, double-face wool dresses in navy and in pale matte sequins were a reprieve from the drama and oft-out-there inspirations that have whipped him into a frenzy in the past. He also restrained himself against the cocktail mania that seemed to have taken over by offering several day looks including slim, cropped pants and nipped–waist wool jackets that were, for the most part, free of any funny business. But just when you thought Posen may have tamed his desire for over the top, out comes an aggressive, strapless, leather and python dress (saying it's tight would only be stating the obvious). It's Posen's second season in Paris and he said before his show that working here has allowed him to incorporate more skilled technique and tailoring into his designs. He may think so, but there was a problem here with fit. We know these clothes are meant to be tight, but that's no reason to have those womanly bodies fighting against the fabric.

Brent Sjoberg obviously hasn't been paying attention to the new trend in civic bankruptcies south of the border. Its time to wake up and change the plan. Lower pension payouts and increase employee contributions now and leave the taxpayer out of it. We already pay enough into this unsustainable ponzi scheme.
Let's be clear who is on the hook.
"The only way the plan is going to go bankrupt ever is if the city goes bankrupt, which is highly unlikely," Brent Sjoberg, deputy city manager and chief financial officer, told the Leader-Post in a recent interview.

AFB TECH Takes on Voting Machines and Cell Phones
American Foundation for the Blind's National Technology Program (AFB TECH) based in Huntington, West Virginia, is committed to ensuring that blind and visually impaired consumers are informed about and have access to products and devices that can help improve their daily lives. In 2002, evaluations were conducted on two devices: voting machines and cell phones. Both are key tools used to communicate in today's society. Voting machines communicate our opinions during an election and cell phones help us keep in contact with the world around us on a daily basis.
Voting is a privilege of American citizenship that many of us take for granted. However, the events surrounding the 2000 election called dramatic attention to the importance of each and every vote and also caused us to reflect upon the manner in which we exercise this awesome responsibility.
In October 2002, President George W. Bush signed into law the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), intended to modernize the country's election processes. One important provision of HAVA is that it sets aside money for states to purchase electronic voting systems with the requirement that they be accessible to people who are blind or have low vision. Since it is estimated that 500,000 of these machines, costing between $2,000 and $5,000 each, would need to be purchased across the United States, it could be a multi-billion-dollar process to bring our nation up to date.
Several manufacturers have developed electronic voting machines to eliminate the inaccuracies involved with paper and "chad-style" ballots. These machines use electronic ballots displayed on computer screens and the ballots are counted automatically.
To guarantee that people who are blind or visually impaired are not left out of the equation as this modernization occurs, AFB's product testing laboratory (AFB TECH) obtained four machines and evaluated their usability and accessibility. We judged how these machines measured up using the following criteria:
- Speech quality and whether the speech is produced via a recording of a human voice or synthetic speech,
- Clarity of both printed and spoken instructions,
- Controls that are identifiable by touch or have braille,
- Means of avoiding undervoting (not choosing a candidate for a contest) or overvoting (choosing more than one candidate for a contest),
- Users' control of the print size and screen contrast,
- Ability to use visual and audio voting simultaneously, and
- Overall ease of use.
In general, we found that the four voting machines were a tremendous improvement over voting with assistance from friends or poll workers, but there is clearly room for further improvement, especially in the areas of low vision accessibility and overall ease of use.
Voting is an inalienable right but cell phone use has become part of the culture. As Americans are becoming increasingly dependent on cell phones, they are demanding that manufacturers continually provide new features and enhanced capabilities. As cell phones become more cutting-edge and technologically sophisticated they tend to become smaller and sleeker. These so-called advances and design modifications often times make the phones less accessible to blind and visually impaired consumers. Section 255 of the Communications Act requires that cell phone manufacturers and service providers do all that is "readily achievable" to make each product or service accessible.
To focus our evaluation work, AFB TECH created a questionnaire and surveyed people who are blind or visually impaired to determine which cell phone features they would most like to have made accessible. This resulted in the "Sweet 16," a list of 16 features that were rated the highest by the respondents. The top three are:
- Keys which are easily identifiable by touch
- Voice output
- Accessible instruction manual
AFB TECH tested six of the top cell phones currently on the market to look at how accessible these critical features are and noted any barriers to accessing them.
Our evaluation determined that the four phones without speech-output software had very few accessible features, mainly due to the lack of access to screen information.
Furthermore, three of the phones had such physically unidentifiable keys that it was extremely difficult to perform even the basic tasks of answering and placing phone calls.
The two phones we found to be most accessible were the Owasys 22C (pronounced "oasis") and the Nokia 3650, when equipped with speech-synthesis software. The Owasys has 6 control buttons on the front panel laid out in 2 rows of 3 each. Below these are the 12 dialing keys, arranged in the standard 3 by 4 grid. Also, the side panel has Up and Down keys for adjusting the volume. Although this telephone does not feature many of the extras that are found on today's cell phones—such as a camera, web access, or a video recorder—its voice output allows blind or visually impaired users to easily access virtually all of its features. The large size of the Nokia 3650 accommodates an oversized 2-inch by 1.5-inch display, and the phone features many of today's new innovations, such as web surfing, text and multimedia messaging, a digital camera, and even a video recorder. Menus are navigated with a circular five-way scroll button, and the telephone has its dialing numbers arranged in a circle, similar to the old rotary telephones.
The two models that got the highest marks show that it is possible to provide accessibility via speech software. This conclusion provides hope for the future of cell phone accessibility. If you would like to find out more about accessible voting machines or cell phones contact AFB's Information Center at (800) 232-5463 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
We hope you've found this information helpful. Please consider making a donation today to support our free information, programs, and research.

Is this the future of MotoGP?
Theres this Malaysian series that I really like to watch, and they post every race on youtube.
Its was said that RedBull once planned to launch a series like this in USA but with Electric SuperMotos.
In this video, the bikes have petrol engines.... But I was wondering...
If the future of racing seems to be inside big cities and having electric engines...
Could this be the future of MotoGP? (again.. but with electric engines. This one have petrol engines)
IDK about the safety... and the speeds would be very reduced compared to nowadays MotoGP bikes.. But look at FormulaE. THey are WAY slower than F1 and Indycars and the youngsters that are watching it dont seems to care about that.

The PulseVU 2 (& 2X) is a device that is soldered inside your game console, PC, etc. and controls LED lights to pulse with the audio coming from your console. It also has the ability to slowly fade your LEDs in and out to simulate a breathing effect, similar to the power light of a Mac.
The PulseVU 2 was designed for the Nintendo Wii and the PulseVU 2X was designed for the Microsoft Xbox360, however each PulseVU can be used in practically any device because it has the ability to calibrate to the audio coming from your system.
There are 17 unique modes to set your PulseVU to, including the VU mode, fader, and setting your LEDs to be solid on, dim, or off. All configurations and mode changes can be done externally by using any built-in button on your console, eliminating the need to constantly open your console or connect the device to a computer. There is also a quick disable feature, so you can quickly turn off your LEDs and then quickly set them back to the mode they were on at a later time.
The PulseVU 2 can handle up to 360mA of LEDs, which is equivalent to 18 20mA LEDs in parallel. The PulseVU 2X can handle up to 3A of LEDs, which is 150 20mA LEDs in parallel. Each version of the PulseVU can also connect to the Power Extender, which adds an additional 3A of power. These can be chained together to provide as much power for your LEDs as your power supply can handle.
The PulseVU 2 also has a message detection feature, which will temporarily disable the PulseVU when the Wii is controlling the lightbar. This will keep the PulseVU from interfering with the normal operation of the Wii. The PulseVU 2X has extra controls which enable it to also power the Xbox360's Ring of Light.
PulseVU 2 Demo in Wii with XCM II-Case
This is the XCM Crystal Blue ii-case w/LEDs for Wii, connected to a PulseVU 2. I have it set so the XCM lights turn off when the console is off, but you can set them to be on/fading in standby if you prefer.
See more videos, including 154 LEDs connected to a PulseVU 2X at http://diy.sickmods.net/Our_Products/PulseVU/video/.
