No reason to get defensive. If the apostles are so important then...why are we talking about the damn fish and logs?
I really wasn't being defensive. I guess I should have added an emoticon.
Maybe include I'll include Idea in my guess on the final kill just for kicks. It would be cool to see Griffith become one with the Idea. I seem to have a way with far-fetched specs today.
I hate to suggest this after so much work has already been done but I think that the Kill count should be ordered to start when Guts first kills someone as a child mercenary rather then when we first see him kill the Female Apostle. It's not canon but it would be a more accurate count in my opinion.
It does make for a more accurate progression of the kill-count;
as starting it in canon from when we see him kill the Female Apostle tags on almost a hundred kills from that time before we flash back to Guts' formative years.
Okay...Since Guts wasn't a real person leading a real life now being chronicled by the famous biographer Kentarou Miura, I'm going to have to sort of disagree with you there. The Female Apostle was and is the first kill depicted in the manga, making it Guts the fictional character's (as he is in realiy) first kill in the series (not counting the protoype, of course). Again, it would simply be chronological to Guts' life, which I agreed would be an interesting feature, however no more "accurate", objectively speaking. Actually, it's arguably much less accurate since the story itself isn't depicted chronologically, and not all of Guts life is depicted, anyway (for instance, if you were following along the in the books, it would just be out of order, not a more accurate progression or whatever bullshit you said).
Also, you simply misspoke in the first place referring to the accuracy of the count in talking about it being in chronological order, which has nothing to do with whether or not the count is accurate. Hope that's all cleared up now.
My point is is that its more accurate from a chronological stand-point.
That's what I was trying to clarify. I'm glad you noticed.
I think that the Kill count should be ordered to start when Guts first kills someone as a child mercenary rather then when we first see him kill the Female Apostle. It's not canon but it would be a more accurate count in my opinion.
Also, for those that didn't notice there's now a new classification for kills: Legitimate, Indeterminate and Miscellaneous. That allows us to count everything we want in there without diminishing Guts' accomplishments by listing a fish, log or his own arm next to apostles. In other words it's perfect.
I'd like to include all possible ways of sorting the info, before I start loading each entry into the database. ..
Just an update to let you guys know I haven't abandoned this project. Far from it, I've learned MySQL and now I'm learning PHP so I can make this data much more customizable. I don't like announcing dates, but I think I should be done with this within the next month. So, keep your eyes open.
This is a great project. I say after it's finished, you make all kinds of crazy lists like alleged kills, such as the 77 other Tudor mercs Guts was supposed to have killed in the 100 man fight.
Sweet, great job! You might want to add a header for the acual listing, if it didn't occur to you already.

Guests from America
By Ingo Rüdiger Isert, President of the Heimatmuseum der Deutschen
aus Bessarabien, Stuttgart, Germany
Museum und Archiv, Jahresheft, 1994, des Heimatmuseums der Deutschen
aus Bessarabien, Stuttgart, pages 10 - 12.
During June, 1994 several groups of Americans of Russian-German descent attended the National Convention of Russian-Germans in Stuttgart. They had combined their trip to Europe with a visit to their old homeland on the Black Sea.
One had already heard in advance, that on June 17, 1994, a group led by John Klein from Lincoln, Nebraska wanted to visit the Homeland Museum of the Germans from Bessarabia. Two members of the board of directors of the Homeland Museum called for them at their hotel and escorted them on public transportation through the middle of Stuttgart to the House of the Bessarabian-Germans. The visitors showed understanding for the confusion due to the current remodeling of the galleries and the consequent difficulty in displaying the artifacts. One could clearly see their astonishment at what the small folk-group of Bessarabian-Germans has been able to accomplish to date and yet plans for coming years.
Two days later, on June 19, 1994, Prof. Michael M. Miller gave a dinner for the representatives of the Landsmannschaft of the Russian-Germans and for the chairpersons of the Homeland Museum of the Germans from Bessarabia.
Prof. Miller is a bibliographer at North Dakota State University at Fargo, North Dakota. There, at the Institute for Regional Studies a special department, the "Germans from Russia Heritage Collection" was created in 1976. This department collects the heritage of the Germans from Russia and so preserves it for the future.
The special collection of this Institute at the North Dakota State University is supported by a historical society of the Germans from Russia, that was founded in North Dakota in 1971 and -- in close connection with the name of the special collection - in 1979 took the name "Germans from Russia Heritage Society". The official organ for the society is the quarterly journal "Heritage Review" with the supplement "Der Stammbaum", (the Family Tree) with extensive genealogical material.
It is not surprising that this institution was developed in, of all places, North Dakota, when one considers that in 1920, of the more than 116,000 Russian-Germans living in the USA, a full 70,000 of them were living in North Dakota. The Black Sea Germans, as well, were above all concentrated in North and South Dakota.
Precisely the Bessarabian-Germans know this well, as what family, during the period between 1871 and World War I, was not able to point to one or more emigrants to America among their number? Likewise, the two most important newspapers for the Black-Sea Germans in the USA, the Dakota Freie Presse and the Staatsanzeiger, were published in both North and South Dakota. Much news from Bessarabia reached relatives in the USA through reporters or letters to relatives in the USA and there found its way into one of the two papers, so that we are able to gather a surprising amount of information about our Bessarabian history from these very "American" newspapers.

You can find this repository and the tools at the following location.
The reason for the following changes with the firefox and chrome scripts was because the scripts weren't that useful from an automated perspective due to Firefox using a random folder name e.g "xxxxxxxx.default" to store the user profile. So by creating a file listing before using tsk fls, to create a bodyfile, the output can be then be parsed to firefox.pl and chrome.pl to automatically find the required files for the timeline. The other benefit to this is that many users don't automatically store the profiles in their user profile due to profile storage space. Its not uncommon to find the browser history files in the root of the C drive because the user has moved it and therefore my tool still accommodates for this scenario.
- Added the -d option to allow parsing of the downloads.sqlite database to TLN format
- Added the -a option which uses the bodyfile output from tsk fls and parses each places/download.sqlite database discovered within it.
- Addded the -u option to include the username within the TLN format
- Added the -d option to allow parsing of the downloads table within the History sqlite database
- Added the -a option which uses the bodyfile output from tsk fls and parses each History sqlite database discovered within it
- Added the -u option to include the username within the TLN format
- Resolved a bug with the script where IDX files that contained output on multiple lines were not parsed correctly
As mentioned above I've added each of the files to the code repository. Hopefully for any Perl guru's out there you might be able to see some issues with my code or potentially some more efficient ways of coding the tools. Please feel free to update those tools and let me know any changes that can be made so we can all benefit. I'd be really keen to see if anybody is finding the tools a benefit to their investigations and maybe have some examples that can be shown also. Feel free to add thanks or issues to the comments below I look forward to having some feedback.
I have a number of future scripts in mind for adding logs to the TLN format. For any of you out there that require a script feel free to let me know and I can see if i can help out. In saying that for anybody out there with some basic scripting skills its very easy to pick Perl up and create some basic regex queries. Before you know it any file with a date and something useful within it can be added to your timelines and assist with your investigations..

The California Fish and Game Commission determined Wednesday that listing the gray wolf as an endangered species in the state may be warranted and declared it a candidate for future listing consideration.
The decision opens a status review to be done over the course of the next 12 months, after which the Commission could decide to list the wolf as an endangered species under state law.
"We have very little information on the history and status of wolves in California," said Michael Sutton, vice president of the Fish and Game Commission. "Our decision today launches a year-long effort to learn more, which in turn will inform our ultimate decision whether or not to protect this iconic species under California law."
Last December, a lone wolf known as OR7 dispersed to California from a pack in northeastern Oregon and has been in the state for most of the time since then.
Gray wolves such as OR7 are protected as an endangered species in California under the federal Endangered Species Act.
The petition to list wolves as an endangered species under California state law was filed in February by four environmental groups. The Department of Fish and Game reviewed the petition and other relevant information and recommended the commission make a finding that a listing may be warranted.
There has never been a scientific study conducted on wolves in California. And although there are numerous anecdotal reports of wolves in early California, there is little direct evidence of these wolves beyond two museum specimens – one of a gray wolf and the other likely a Mexican wolf.
DFG believes it is likely the wolves were once widely distributed across California before they were extirpated by humans in the early 20th Century.
The vote was 3-0. Two commissioners were not present.
More information about OR7 is available here: http://www.dfg.ca.gov/wildlife/nongame/wolf/

Repel the elements. Retain the beauty. Duck Covers offer breakthrough protection that keeps patio furniture looking new. The Duck Covers patio furniture covers are constructed of lightweight, breathable, and eco-friendly material that has been UV-treated. So unlike traditional Polyester fabric that becomes brittle and cracks, the stylish and innovative multi-layered, non-woven fabric used by Duck Covers is waterproof, durable and fade resistant. Only Duck Covers outdoor furniture covers come with the patent-pending Duck Dome inflation system (see below). The Duck Dome ensures that you'll never have to worry about finding huge puddles of water on top of your cover, or mold and mildew beneath. Secure the Duck Dome to your furniture using the 24 inch tie down ropes and then place the cover over it. Secure the cover using the attached reinforced nylon tie-down straps. Each strap is 12 inches long, making the cover easier to tie, and the double-stitching on the seams attaches the straps firmly to the cover, with tie-down ends folded over and sewn to prevent fraying. With Duck Covers, you're guaranteed the best year-round protection for your patio furniture.
Included Duck Dome Airbag
Outdoor furniture products have flat surfaces with high and low points, and when covered with ordinary patio covers, the low points collect water and debris that break down and shorten the lifespan of the cover. Contact between the patio cover and the outdoor furniture also greatly increases the formation of mold and mildew. These have been serious issues for patio covers...until now. The patented Duck Dome Airbag fits into the low point of your outdoor patio furniture, inflates in less than 90 second, and creates an elevated, dome-shaped surface under the cover to repel water and debris - much like water off a duck's back. The Duck Dome also creates superior airflow between the furniture and cover, eliminating the condensation that causes mold and mildew. The Duck Dome Airbag requires the use of a Rechargeable Air Pump for inflating, sold separately.
The Outdoor Patio Furniture Loveseat Cover is available in the following sizes:
- 54" W x 37" D x 35" H
- 62" W x 38" D x 35" H
- 70" W x 41" D x 35" H
Duck Covers come in wide variety of stylish, outdoor patio furniture covers - including covers for patio chairs, patio tables, patio lounge chairs, patio sofas, patio loveseats, patio ottomans, BBQ grills and more.
Duck Covers vs. the Competition Benefits Duck Covers Competition Water Run Off Patent pending Duck Dome elevates cover allowing water and debris to run off No matter how tight a fit, the weight of water, debris and snow will pool in flat spots on the cover Breathability Innovative synthetic material that breathes PVC backed polyester or vinyl does not breathe - vents let in moisture and dirt Air Flow Patent pending Duck Dome elevates cover from the furniture and creates huge pockets where air flows freely to help prevent mold and mildew No matter your material, if there is water pooled on the cover, evaporation of condensation will not occur because air will not flow between a cover pressed tightly against the furniture Mold & Mildew Prevention Industry leading water run-off, breathable fabric and air flow Retains moisture under the cover - see Air Flow Lightweight Light and easy to fold and store in packaging pouch Heavy, cumbersome and hard to store Durability All temperatures, all seasons Prolonged UV exposure weakens material.

Zwaagwesteinde (Friesland, Netherlands)
Zwaagwesteinde, a village in the Dutch province of Friesland (coordinates: 53°15′19 N, 6° 2' E). Mennonites living here in the 17th and 18th centuries belonged to the Kollumerzwaag congregation. As more and more of the members moved to Zwaagwesteinde and because the meetinghouse at Kollumerzwaag was dilapidated, a new meetinghouse was built at Zwaagwesteinde, dedicated on 5 May 1816. The congregation was then generally called Zwaagwesteinde and Kollumerzwaag, or simply Zwaagwesteinde. After the death of the (untrained) preacher A. H. Bosma in 1838 the pulpit remained vacant, and in 1844 the few members who were left joined the neighboring Dantumawoude congregation. In 1897 S. D. A. Wartena, the pastor of Veenwouden, started catechetical instruction here, and in 1904 the 47 Mennonites living at Zwaagwesteinde, members of Veenwouden and Dantumawoude, organized a Kring (circle), which built a meetinghouse in the same year. Services were held at Zwaagwesteinde by the pastors of Veenwouden and Dantumawoude and others. In 1949 the Kring Zwaagwesteinde became an independent congregation. The membership in 1958 was 66, served by the pastor of Veenwouden. Church activities include a ladies' circle, youth group 18-25, Sunday school for children, and a choir.

Set Your Tivo: 11.16.09Posted by nvr1983 on November 15th, 2009
After a relatively slow opening week things begin to start picking up this week so I'll be going back to the daily version of SYT to avoid writing a 5,000 word post. RTC will be doing our "world famous" RTC Live from multiple major games this week so it's definitely worth checking out. That feature has become so popular that our correspondent at the Davidson–Butler game noticed that another writer in the row in front of him on Saturday was following the simultaneous Creighton-Dayton game on RTC Live. Anyways, there are two games on the slate for tonight and coincidentally we will be covering both of them. Some of you may think this is even more shameless self-promotion (and it is to a certain extent), but as always if you think another game should be mentioned or if I make a careless mistake let me know in the comment section.
Miami (OH) at #5 Kentucky at 7 PM on Big Blue Sports, Fox Sports South, and ESPN360.com: Unfortunately, Wally Szczerbiak will not be in action although we hear that he has some free time now. Fortunately, John Stevens will be there with RTC Live though as well as some guy named John Wall that you may have heard some people talking about the past few months. Quite frankly the RedHawks, fresh off an 11-point loss to mighty Towson to open the season shouldn't be much of a hurdle for the Wildcats, but this game is worth watching to see how the young Wildcats function in a regular season game with Wall playing alongside Eric Bledsoe in the backcourt. Coming into the season it was widely expected that Bledsoe would serve as a backup to Wall, but in the first game of the season it was Bledsoe not Wall (serving the 2nd game of his split suspension for a suspected infraction relating to his time in AAU) who stole the show. It will be interesting to see how those two play with Patrick Patterson and DeMarcus Cousins. Scoring shouldn't be a problem given the prodigious talents of those four players, but the thing to look for if you are wondering if this Wildcat team can win a NCAA title is their defensive effort. Although we doubt you will see "Rick Pitino at Kentucky" level defense out of these young Wildcats don't be surprised if their effort is much better after their first game (minus Wall) left John Calipari wanting more defensively out of his team. If they heed Calipari's advice and turn up the defensive intensity, it could be a very long night for the RedHawks.
Pennsylvania at #6 Villanova at 7 PM: It looks like this game will not be on television, but RTC has all the coverage you need with yet another installment of RTC Live. As for the game itself, this rivalry (both teams are part of Philadelphia's famous "Big 5") hasn't quite lived up to expectations in recent years. Since the Quakers last beat the Wildcats with Ugonna Onyekwe, Koko Archibong, and Andrew Toole in both 2001 and 2002 the two programs have gone in opposite directions. Penn is no longer even a contender to win the Ivy League title (it is Cornell's to lose this year) while Villanova is coming off a Final Four trip highlighted by one of the best NCAA Tournament games ever and is expected to contend for another Final Four trip this season. The story here is obviously the Wildcats and how they will continue to develop without Dante Cunningham controlling the paint. The Wildcats are loaded in the backcourt with Scottie Reynolds, Corey Fisher, and Corey Stokes leading the way, but will need to develop an inside game if they want to replicate the success of last season or even the 2006-07 team that featured Randy Foye, Kyle Lowry, and Allan Ray. While I don't think this year's backcourt is as good as it was in 2006-07, they do have an impressive set of newcomers –f reshmen McDonald's All-Americans Dominic Cheek and Maalik Wayns and another McDonald's All-American in Duke transfer Taylor King — who might enough to push them over the top. The real key to Villanova's success this year may be how Antonio Pena and freshman Mouphtaou Yarou, who just started playing basketball in 2004, develop as threats on the inside. Normally, I wouldn't give Penn a chance in this game, but it is rivalry game and Penn looked better than expected (remember this is a relative thing) in a loss at Penn State and Villanova looked a bit shaky in the 1st half against Farleigh Dickinson on Friday night so you never know. Regardless, Penn's Tyler Bernardini and Jack Eggleston will have their hands full against a Jay Wright-led team that is deeper and more talented than Glen Miller's crew.

Kayseri has several landmarks from its many lords. The black stone citadel was first built by the Romans, but rebuilt by the Seljuqs in the 13th century. Moreover, are there many octagonal and circular mausoleums, of which the D�ner K�mbet from the 13th century is the most famous (see photo). There are many great mosques, the Ulu Camii (Great Mosque) from the 13th century is the most notable (see photo). Kayseri has 3 covered bazaars, the oldest from the 15th century, which are all very much active.
Near Kayseri lies the ancient Hittite-Assyrian city of Kanesh, dating back to the 3rd millennium BCE, which holds thousands of clay tablets with cuneiform inscriptions, telling us about the economic life of the period.
The Erciyes University which was founded in 1978 is a continuation of schools founded in 1206 and 1956.
Kayseri is the home of a strong Circassian community, speaking Kabardian.

Captain's ReportTested by Capt. Vince DanielloSince the company's beginnings in 1987, Maxum has strived to be on the cutting edge of boat design, paying special attention to accommodations, creature comforts, and the small details that make boating simpler, safer, or just more enjoyable. Knowing the company's commitment to such details, when I tested the newly redesigned 2004 Maxum 3700 Sport Yacht it did not surprise to see many subtle changes that, when combined, made big differences in the new boat's performance, comfort, and interior spaciousness.Design and LayoutComparing the specifications between the 2003 and 2004 models shows very minor changes to the boat for the new model year: two inches longer, an inch wider – not much larger. But a new deck design with a few well-placed expansions and without the integrated anchor well of the 2003 model noticeably increased the volume of the interior, particularly in the bow. While the new layout is similar to last year's boat, the forward stateroom is now separated from the main cabin by a wide sliding double door. This creates a very open feeling below decks without sacrificing nighttime privacy. Just aft of these doors on the starboard side, the settee pulls out like a giant drawer to form a double bed, making one of the easier bed conversions I've run across. Farther aft, the midship cabin is enclosed with a privacy curtain. As in all similar boats, headroom is tight in this cabin because of its location beneath the helm, but the bed is large and would certainly be comfortable for a couple for several nights. The head includes a separate stall shower, plenty of storage, and one often overlooked appointment, an air conditioning vent inside the head. While this doesn't matter in some parts of the country, the additional vent significantly reduces dampness in the head in humid climates.GalleyThe boat features a well-appointed galley with a side-by-side refrigerator-freezer, microwave oven, and a built in coffee pot. One interesting design detail, the two-burner stove is set sideways in the countertop, putting one burner behind the other. While this may be slightly less convenient when cooking with two burners, it appreciably increases useable counter space. In my experience, the extra counter space will be used far more often than the second stove burner. This also indicates an impressive willingness to "think outside the box" on the part of Maxum's design team. There is plenty of storage, particularly in the galley, with ample drawers, cabinets, and overhead bins. Something that is often overlooked by boat manufacturers, the cabinets are properly fitted with shelves; even the cabinet beneath the galley sink. This simple addition doesn't seem like much, but makes a huge difference when it comes time to stow the weekend's provisions. The cubby hole above the stove by the opening porthole is trimmed with Corian, creating extra counter space; but if Maxum added a fiddle rail this space would become valuable storage while underway.Interestingly, the spec sheet shows the new boat has an inch less draft in the hull, but an inch more draft overall. This places the propellers deeper beneath the hull where they bite into cleaner water. And while I was told that there were almost no changes in hull shape, the new boat weighs about 1,200 pounds less. While neither of these changes seems significant, their effect is undeniable. At the HelmThe helm is laid out well, with good visibility, an adjustable seat, and a flip-up seat bottom to allow room for the skipper to stand while docking. Unfortunately, on our test boat the lever to lock the seat projected out when the seat bottom was raised, right where it can painfully catch the captain's calves. On the plus side, Maxum provided built-in storage at the helm for cellular phones, portable electronics, sunglasses, binoculars, and whatever other loose equipment needs to be close at hand. They also thoughtfully installed two 12-volt outlets convenient to this storage area for chargers and power cords.On the starboard side aft of the helm seat, the huge lounge quickly and easily converts for sunning, seating, or dining. Across the boat, a wet bar and icemaker are convenient for cool drinks on a hot day. There is excellent access to the huge stern platform, and two sets of molded steps make the transition to the side decks easy and safe from either the cockpit or stern platform.Performance NumbersOur test runs of the new boat produced a top speed over 40 miles-per-hour with the optional 370 horsepower 8.1 liter MPI engines. A company representative indicated that the 2003 would max out around 32 miles-per-hour with the same engines. That is a huge difference from seemingly minor but apparently important design tweaks. Alternately, the new boat can be fitted with 320 horsepower 6.2 liter inboards for performance, rivaling the 2003 model fitted with 8.1 liter engines, but with better fuel economy. While the boat's underway performance was quite impressive, I really appreciated the close-quarters maneuvering, in part because of the V-drive transmissions and inboard engines. Stern drives have their place, but they certainly don't handle as well at the dock as twin conventional inboards. While barely different from its predecessor on paper, small changes to the 2004 Maxum 3700 Sport Yacht have made a big difference. Attention to detail, whether minor conveniences to enhance boater-friendliness, or design alterations to increase speed and economy, seem to have paid off well without substantially changing what was already a very popular boat.
Test Result Highlights
- Top speed for the Maxum 3700 SY Sport Yacht is 40.4 mph (65 kph), burning 65.2 gallons per hour (gph) or 246.78 liters per hour (lph).
- Best cruise for the Maxum 3700 SY Sport Yacht is 23.8 mph (38.3 kph), and the boat gets 0.88 miles per gallon (mpg) or 0.37 kilometers per liter (kpl), giving the boat a cruising range of 236 miles (379.81 kilometers).
- Tested power is 2 x 425-hp MerCruiser 8.1L HO.

The End Times are upon us
Does the world really have only 15 years left?
Scientific and religious evidence certainly suggests it.
Indeed, scientists are well aware of the mammoth comet hurtling towards Earth, which according to them shall collide circa 2026. Although scientists believe that by 2026 we will have the technology necessary to destroy or redirect the comet, there is a highly plausible chance that we simply won't. The increase in destructive natural disasters in recent years and the state of the world's resources today are clear indicators that the end is near.
The strong tensions between the East and the West today means that a catastrophic war is likely to break out; this is a commonality amongst prophecies from different religions regarding the end times. Besides this, the rise in immorality in today's society and loss of the spiritual system in the religions also point to the fact that we are in the end times.
Even though times are about to get very difficult for mankind, the Awaited Ones represent hope for humanity! Images of the Awaited Messiah, Imam Mehdi and Kalki Avatar, His Sublime Eminence Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi as well as Lord Jesus Christ have appeared miraculously on various celestial and terrestrial objects, and can be called upon in times of adversity.

|The 4th Social Informatics SIG Research Symposium: People, Information and Technology: The Social Analysis of Computing
Half Day Workshop, Saturday, Oct. 25, 2008, 8:30am-12:30pm (separate fee)
Sponsor: SIG SI
Co-sponsor: SIGs: SIG USE, SIG Digital Library, SIG CRIT, with support from the Rob Kling Center for Social Informatics, Indiana University
The symposium will have three objectives:
To disseminate state of the art research-in-progress between and among the various ASIST SIGs whose work touches on social aspects of information and communication technologies (ICT).
To help each other develop and strengthen this research in a friendly symposium environment.
To continue the successful social networking among symposium participants from previous workshops, and to draw in new colleagues.
While information and communication technologies (ICT) were once seen as a discrete sub-interest within the our field, theoretical and empirical studies of ICT, people, and information, particularly in the worlds of work and sociality, now pervade most interest groups within ASIST. ICT are increasingly a part of the core goals, stubborn problems, and research streams across the subfields of Library and Information Science. In keeping with the theme of the conference, the relationships of mutual shaping between people and information, as mediated by technology, have been objects of study within social informatics for years; the assumption of the fundamental importance of mutual shaping is well accepted among social informatics researchers. According to Horton, Davenport, and Wood-Harper (2005; 52) the impetus for researchers to consider both social and technical aspects as mutually constitutive as a means of understanding technology introduction and use had a growing audience.
Starting with a broad conceptualization of ICT that emphasizes technologies in tandem with the data, information or cultural resources they store, transport and display, this symposium will highlight research focusing on the social realities of ICT based information systems (broadly defined) and their roles in the transformative relationships between people and information in order to better understand the following types of questions:
How are the design, implementation, use, disuse, and ongoing reconfiguration of information and ICTs influenced by social groups, organizations, politics, and culture? How do information and ICTs shape those creating, implementing and using them?
What are the roles of information and information systems in ongoing social change at various levels of social analysis such as groups, organizational units, political entities or cultural systems?
What are the complex reciprocal relationships among information, information systems and the people, social groups and environments that surround and pervade them?
What are the variations in meanings or interpretations of information systems across social groups?
What are the moral or ethnical consequences of ICT system development and use?
The symposium organizers encourage all scholars, both beginning and established, interested in social aspects of information systems (broadly defined) to share their research in progress by submitting an extended abstract of their work and attending the symposium.
iii) Proposed program: The symposium participation call for abstracts will be sent to all SIG chairs in order to maximize cross SIG participation. In addition, officers of SIG-SI, SIG-USE and SIG-CRIT have already made commitments to encourage participation, submit work, organize the abstract submission process, and help manage the actual event.
Submissions will be in the form of short papers of no more than 2,000 words including sources and appendixes. All submissions will be peer reviewed. This year, the symposium will accept fewer submissions but provide a longer period of time for each participant to present his or her work. All accepted papers will be posted on the dLIST institutional repository for library and information science.
The symposium will involve the presentation of a series of papers, two discussants who will comment on the papers, and a keynote address by a senior scholar who will discuss the main theme of the symposium, a critical appraisal of the transformative relationships between people and information, as mediated by technology.

The year 2013 is already shaping up to be a busy year, with several issues rooted in the past expected to come to fruition. While the year ahead will no doubt unleash its own bounty of surprises, here are some issues we can all count on happening in the months ahead.
Glendale police officers' lawsuit to move forward
The case of four current and one former Armenian American Glendale police officers suing the city for alleged discrimination and harassment is expected to move to trial in 2013.
This year, a federal judge refused to throw out claims against the city made by police Officers Vahak Mardikian, Robert Parseghian, John Balian, Tigran Topadzhikyan and former Officer Benny Simonzad.
A settlement conference is scheduled for Feb. 1, as well as a jury trial date for March 23, according to U.S. District Court records.
The officers filed the federal lawsuit in 2010 against the city and Police Department alleging years of discrimination, retaliation and harassment because they're Armenian.
Balian, Topadzhikyan and Mardikian also filed a separate state lawsuit in March claiming that racial discrimination and retaliation continued in the Police Department even after they filed their federal case. That case was held up pending the resolution of the federal lawsuit.
School bond dollars to take shape
Following the approval of a $270 million school bond in April 2011, Glendale schools this year are expected to put a dent in the proceeds as they tackle projects that will bring improvements and technology to school facilities.
Already, hundreds of Apple laptops have been rolled out to Glendale teachers, and solar panels that were installed at several Glendale schools are expected to save $10 million over the next 30 years.
As of November, the Glendale Unified School District had approved $40 million in projects.
The board recently approved a new two-story design for College View School and held a groundbreaking ceremony for the installment of lights at Hoover High's sports field.
The district will later expand Franklin Elementary, renovate the science lab at Crescenta Valley High School, add solar panels to Glendale High and build onto campuses where an influx in bungalows has invaded the grounds.
With $108 million more approved through the fall of 2016, officials will look to allocate the remaining $162 million in the future.
Chromium 6
For more than 10 years, Glendale has been researching ways to remove chromium 6, a cancer-causing contaminant, from the city's water supply.
Using state, federal and private grants, Glendale researchers have spent more than $9 million testing the contaminant left behind by the aerospace industry decades ago. But in 2013, Glendale is set to complete its final report to the California Department of Public Health, although research will continue in order to refine the estimated costs involved with the removal methods.
Last year, state officials set a public health goal for chromium 6 contamination of .02 parts per billion — far below the current state limit of 50 parts per billion and the federal cap of 100 parts per billion. By law, state officials must get the final limit — planned to be released by July 2015 — as close to the public health goal as economically feasible.
Glendale's water, which is filtered and then blended with purchased, clean water, has a chromium 6 level of 5 parts per billon, far below the state and federal standards.
Citywide elections
Three City Council seats are up for grabs in April and one long-time incumbent, Mayor Frank Quintero, doesn't plan to run again.
Although the election is months away, council members Laura Friedman and Ara Najarian will try to keep their seats. A few others have filed paperwork at City Hall to run as well, including gadfly Mike Mohill, Edth Fuentes, a former City Hall employee who won a $200,000 legal settlement from Glendale after she alleged wrongful demotion, and Glendale attorney Roland Kedikian.
Also up for election is the City Treasurer. Incumbent Ron Borucki has declined to say whether he will run again, but his seat may not be open at all if a ballot measure making the seat an appointed rather than elected position gets enough votes.
Glendale Community College and the Glendale Unified School District will also hold elections this spring.
At Glendale Community College, three incumbents are up for reelection, including Armine Hacopian, Ann Ransford and Anita Quinonez Gabrielian.
With the election months away, the voting season will also coincide with the last days of Interim Supt. Jim Riggs, who took the helm of the college after former Supt. Dawn Lindsay departed earlier this year.
Three seats on the Glendale Unified school board are also up for takers this spring. School board president Christine Walters and member Joylene Wagner have confirmed their intent to run again.
School board member Greg Krikorian, who's seat is also up for grabs, has not confirmed whether he will be running again.
Redevelopment fight to continue
Glendale took a huge hit when in February state lawmakers dissolved local redevelopment agencies throughout the state. Glendale used the millions in property taxes that came with redevelopment to develop such projects as the Americana at Brand, but it also used the money to pay for staff salaries.
So when the city began drafting this fiscal year's budget, officials grappled with a $15.4-million gap mostly caused by the loss of redevelopment. After cutting programs and reducing staff to the lowest level since 2000, Glendale balanced its budget, but redevelopment headaches didn't end there.
City officials are still fighting with the California Department of Finance — which is taking redevelopment money and using it close a multi-billion dollar state funding hole — over tens of millions of dollars the former agency owes to construction companies, banks and others it had made contracts with before the state axed redevelopment.
Those fights will continue in 2013, and perhaps beyond. State officials must give multiple audits of Glendale's redevelopment assets a stamp of approval before the city can use tens of millions of dollars in bonds to complete several projects. The money is currently frozen by the state.
That puts the Central Library improvements and other projects on hold, as well as obstructs plans to build a paseo outside the planned Museum of Neon Art. It also puts the Alex Theatre at risk of being sold since Sacramento officials have the power to sell off redevelopment assets.
However, city officials have changed the zoning of the land beneath the historic venue to prevent it from being converted into a church or bowling alley if auctioned off.
Teacher layoffs
In Glendale Unified schools, where officials still need to slash millions from their budget to stay solvent, roughly 75 elementary teachers and up to 50 secondary teachers could face layoffs this spring.
The exact number of teachers who would be let go would be determined by how many teachers accept the district's early retirement incentives by Feb. 1.
With potential teacher layoffs, class sizes would increase from 24 students per teacher to 30 students in grades kindergarten through third. That move could save $3.8 million while adding two students more per teacher in grades sixth through 12 would save $1.9 million.
These cuts and others could likely be made to further cut the district's three-year budget plan that came up $36 million short for 2015-16 when school officials outlined the budget last June.
Retail renaissance
Two retail powerhouses will have major projects drawing to a close in the fall of 2013 — Bloomingdale's will open a new store in the Glendale Galleria and Nordstrom will move from the Galleria to a new space in the Americana at Brand.
The 116,000-square-foot Bloomingdale's is being constructed in the former Mervyn's at the corner of Brand Boulevard and Broadway.
A new facade will cover the existing drab brick exterior with mosaic panels of glass, painted aluminum, black tiles and white marble that will slowly transition from all black to white from south to north along Brand.
Bloomingdale's will occupy the second and third floors of the Galleria, which is undergoing extensive renovations of its own.
Over at the Americana at Brand, the three-story Nordstrom is being constructed on the former site of the Golden Key Hotel between Colorado Street and Caruso Avenue.
A Guess store has been relocated so that space can be part of an espresso bar at the entrance of the new 122,000-square-foot store. Above the espresso bar will be open-air seating for the Nordstrom Café.
Billionaire developer Rick Caruso, who owns the Americana at Brand, announced plans for Nordstrom's move in 2011 — a major coup that strips his main competition of yet another huge anchor store.
Caruso, so far, hasn't announced a replacement for the current Nordstrom building, which he also owns in what's called Galleria II.
The section of Orange Street within the Americana will be closed and converted into a pedestrian paseo with planters, posters and festoon string lighting crisscrossing overhead.
Najarian and the MTA
With his current term on the Metropolitan Transportation Authority board expiring on Jan. 1, Glendale City Councilman Ara Najarian has vowed to fight to continue as a board member even though the committee that makes appointments didn't support him because of his opposition to the 710 Freeway extension.
Najarian plans to get another nomination from the North Cities sector — which includes Glendale and Burbank — and then go before the City Selection Committee again this month, when he says he should have enough support to be appointed for another four-year term.
Representatives from Palmdale and Lancaster were not at the meeting where the vote was taken, but Najarian said he will make sure they're there at the next committee meeting.
Representatives from cities throughout Los Angeles County voted against Najarian, but a concentration of the no votes came from cities in the San Gabriel Valley.
The MTA debacle occurred about six months after the incoming authority president — L.A. County Supervisor Mike Antonovich — replaced Najarian on the Metrolink board of directors.
Najarian said he plans to get support from a majority of the 13-member MTA board to overturn Antonovich's selection.

Sioux Falls Skyforce Vault Back Into Contention With Two Games Left
Choosing the right word to conceptualize how significant the Tuesday night battle between Tulsa and Sioux Falls is an arduous task. Colossal comes to mind. As the fates of 6 teams hang in the balance, the importance cannot be overstated. The resulting Sioux Falls Skyforce victory 97-92 prevented the 66ers from being the 5th team to clinch a NBA Development League playoff spot and tightened the race for spot number 8.
Without a superb 34-point effort from Demetris Nichols, of course none of this would be possible. Add in another 26 points and 9 rebounds from Jarvis Varnado plus 14 points and 17 rebounds from James Mays which neutralized the 32 points put up by Rasual Butler of the 66ers. Mays is certainly benefitting from a NBA assignee with him in the front court. Varnado is so disruptive defensively, Mays can pile up rebounds on the defensive glass on blocked or altered shots. Mays also said their offense execution was much better against Tulsa and the team only committed 12 turnovers as a result.
Neither team could get any measure of separation on the night as Sioux Falls posted the largest lead of 7 points on a handful of occasions, but could not fully subdue the visitors until the final horn blew. The sweet sound catapulted the Skyforce from the number 10 position to the 8th and final playoff spot. Sioux Falls (25-23) still holds their postseason status in their own hands with a game upcoming on Friday night with Ft. Wayne and a Saturday finale at Iowa. Two Skyforce wins will surely send them into the postseason. If there is only one win, assistance will be needed. Tulsa (26-22) can still win either Thursday against Iowa or Saturday against Ft. Wayne and earn a playoff spot. However the other four teams still clawing have some intrigue. Austin still has three games left with a destiny in their hands. Ft. Wayne has just the two games left with Sioux Falls and Tulsa with one win clinching playoff entry for the first time in Mad Ants history. Maine and Erie play each other twice. The only certainty is that the playoff picture will remain murky until Saturday night.

|(view) (download) (as text) (annotate)
cleanup style a bit and drop multilib code
Split out util functions.
Remove file_length(), and rather use rc_get_size().
Make sure the first realpath() in get_tmp_dir() failing do not set errno and thus trigger DBG_MSG().
As we are using a symbol map for libsandbox, its no longer needed to have all the internal functions static, and thus we can break things out a bit and make the source layout more sane. Start by moving librcutil to libsbutil, and adding all the defines and helper functions needed by both libsandbox and sandbox.
Remove last libsandbox-only functions in favour for ones provided by librcutil. Setup log_domain properly for debugging.
Updates for changes to librcutil.
Fix build failure due to exists() still being needed for libsandbox.
Use librcutil.
Add is_env_off(). Also check for true/false. Use is_env_*.
Add is_env_on(), and some other environ variable defines we will be using.
Rename sandbox_futils.c to sandbox_utils.c. Add gstrndup() and gbasename() to sandbox_utils.c. Add check for glibc, and fixup things to not need glibc only extensions if not needed for versioned symbols.
Wrap mknod() as well. Misc cleanups.
Rather use fstat() to get file size in file_length() than lseek().
Cleanup local defines for egetcwd() and erealpath().
Remove the SB_STATIC and including of getcwd.c, etc voodoo, as we new use a symbol map, and all non-exported symbols are local. Cleanup getcwd.c, as the generic getcwd for older 2.4 kernels do not work properly anyhow, and just makes things slower. Some other warning fixes.
Revert 64bit arch test, as we should build the 32bit version without full path checking as well, and add --enable-multilib switch to configure.
Reorder source layout.
Do not resolve symlinks in PORTAGE_TMPDIR in sandbox .. we will handle that in libsandbox .. bug #100309.
Try to cleanup and make error handling/printing consistent.
Only declare functions in sandbox_futils.c that are used in libsandbox.c when OUTSIDE_LIBSANDBOX is not defined.
Remove unused includes and variables.
Remove sandbox_dir and co - we are not using it anymore.
Redo the interface of the get_* functions so that we do not leak memory.
Major cleanup of sandbox_futils.c. Removed most of the functions as we now write to /var/log/sandbox/, so in theory do not need all that.
Change log dir to /var/log/sandbox/. Make sure the sandboxed process cannot write to it.
Remove unused 'pids file' code.
Some strncpy/strncat and other cleanups.
Do not abort if TMPDIR is not valid, but rather use '/tmp', bug #94360. Also make sure we re-export the new TMPDIR environment variable.
General cleanups.
Modify get_sandbox_pids_file(), get_sandbox_log() and get_sandbox_debug_log() to use TMPDIR if present in environment.
Add get_sandbox_debug_log(), and use it (add behaviour similar to SANDBOX_LOG if already exported when sandbox started). Fix get_sandbox_log() and new get_sandbox_debug_log() to not use already exported environment variables if they have '/' in them. Use snprintf()'s instead of strncpy()'s. More SB_PATH_MAX fixes.
More path limit fixes. Declare SB_BUF_LEN global and use it where needed.
Fix paths limited to 255 chars. Fix get_sandbox_dir() returning a string with '(null)' in it if we did not call sandbox with absolute path.
Fix typo in code that checks if we got valid group information, causing a segmentation fault, bug #91637.
Make sure all functions used in libsandbox.c is declared static. Define SB_STATIC in localdecls.h for this. Include sandbox_futils.c rather than linking with its object. Hopefully this will fix bug #90153.
White space fixes.
corrections to remove hardcoded paths.
removed the /usr/lib/portage/ hardcoded reference for bashrc.

Carefully Sedated
Carefully Sedated was a science fiction fanzine by Catherine Crockett and Alan Rosenthal.
Carefully Sedated was published in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The first issue appeared in April 1983, and the last issue, 4.5, in August 1986.
The two editors both wrote editorials, accompanied by writing contributed by Robert Atwood, John Berry (Pot Pourri, The Damned Patrol), Do-Ming Lum, D.A. Rafferty, Roldo, and Taral Wayne (DNQ). The article, "Tune In, Turn On, and Fall Out" by Taral Wayne was later reprinted in WCSFAzine.
Contributors of artwork included Roldo, Al Sirois, and Taral Wayne.
Letters came from Walt Willis (Hyphen).
Later, Catherine Crockett, with Colin Hinz, also published an anthology of the fanwriting of Taral Wayne, called Old Toys, and the fanzine Twenty Three Skidoo.

I am looking into getting Charcoal peafowl. I have seen them in person, but I love seeing pictures of peafowl! I would really appreciate it if you could post pictures of your charcoal peafowl in any pattern. If you have anything to say about Charcoal peafowl then please go ahead.
The charcoal birds are beautiful, but they do come with their challenges. Hens most often don't lay eggs (though I have heard that Brad Legg has produced some spalding charcoal hens that have produced fertile eggs). This means you have to work with splits, and that produces only about 50% charcoal offspring, of which I've heard males are few to come by sometimes. They are generally short lived birds (7 years or so?), at least that is what I have heard. As with most colours, I prefer the Blackshoulder variety, making it even harder to come by if you start with barred wing. Hope this helps. I do know of at least one breeder in NY that does breed them.
You may be referring to Rich Stein. I did see all of his Charcoal peafowl, but I was not really paying attention to them on my last trip... Luckily for me he has great birds in nice patterns like Charcoal WE and Charcoal BS. I just got an Opal WE peacock last night so I am not sure if I want to take on Charcoals just yet. Pictures are still welcome.
I have some pix of my charcoal peafowl. But I do not know the method of showing images on the thread. If anyone knows, tell me in details.
Hope you will help me.

I do not know yet, so I would be learning with you. Can someone explain to us how to post pictures?
I think he only way to post a photo is to go through another photo service, but I am sorry I don't know how to do it. George


text: I find this discussion really interesting. I have been switchy for the last 20 years, and found it was strongly connected to who my partner was. Some I felt dominant toward, some submissive, and for the best of them I feel both, depending on both our moods. But relationships are such complex beasts, and I never much worried about whether I was Dom or sub "enough." One of the things I find exciting about BDSM is each new scene or partner brings its own energy and shifting dynamics to play with. Why drive yourself crazy trying to fit in a particular box (unless, of course, you are into that kind of thing.)

About this font family
A lot of time and effort has been put into the process of creating the Brillian Font. A careful analysis of the current font market and overly increasing customer needs have shaped Brillian's final appearance and content. We don't have a precise target audience for Brillian, since the amazing amount and structure of the chosen characters enables a very wide utilization. Its look and feel came from a different designing approach, so that it can successfully satisfy the needs of even the neediest. Shining with calm and dignity, while in the roots being aggressive, it has successfully connected classic and modern styles - representing its largest value. A most complete set of Cyrillic, Greek and Latin characters included.

The Vancouver's record of passage making is perhaps unique; dozens of trans-ocean passages or voyages to the most remote cruising grounds often crewed just by a husband and wife or a couple of friends, or totally at home pottering local waters and harbours. The enthusiastic reception of the original Vancouver 27 design led to demands for a larger version (Vancouver 32 & 34), which came from the board of the original designer, Robert Harris.

Engine Option 1: 1x
More Information
The range was then augmented by the introduction of the Vancouver 36, designed by Tony Taylor who bought over 20 years design experience with Camper & Nicholson in satisfying the demands of experienced yachtsmen. With all the hallmarks of sound building and excellent design detail, the Vancouver 36 won the prestigious Silk Cut Nautical Design Award for 1988/89. Today, an updated version of the Vancouver 36 is now available, retaining all the qualities of the original model, whilst also benefiting from an improved cockpit and a semi-balanced rudder for enhanced performance. The Vancouver 36 has her own distinctive style. The low and handsome coachroof is wide and flat, making movement forward very easy and the sense of security on deck is heightened by raised bulwarks with teak capping rail. The deep cockpit is very roomy with high coamings and comfortable angles for leaning against. The helmsman's position is ideal with easy access to winches, unencumbered movement around the wheel and clear vision to the stemhead. Because the proportions are harmonious on deck, you will not be immediately aware of the remarkable size of the Vancouver 36 until you go below. With 6ft 3ins headroom throughout, the space has been skilfully utilised in every corner whilst keeping a feeling of spaciousness. The interior embraces all the essentials for solid live aboard comfort, with carefully selected fabrics and beautifully matched teak timbers and veneers. The well planned, practical galley has been designed to reach everything from one position, with a great amount of storage and secure racks, fully gimballed gas cooker and twin sinks. The large dinette area to port is generous and uncompromising. The fore and aft sections serve as good sea berths and the settee to starboard converts to a pilot berth. As you would expect in a serious cruising yacht, plenty of space has been devoted to the navigation area with a full-size chart table, stowage for books and charts and plenty of space to display instruments. The heads is extremely large with shower facilities. An easy to manage set of companion way steps with well-sited pillars in the galley and chart area make for safe footing. A grab rail runs the full length of the saloon, positioned slightly above shoulder level, providing good handholds when the yacht is heeled to port and starboard. Designed from the outset for serious ocean passage making, the Vancouver combines sailing performance with excellent load carrying capability and comfortable motion in a seaway. Heavy displacement, deep sections and a long encapsulated keel gives excellent directional stability. The cutter rig has long been favoured by experienced cruising yachtsmen for its strength and versatility, as it provides good drive to windward and, because the sails are manageable and easy to reef, the optimum amount of sail is always available, whatever the weather conditions. The Vancouver 36 conforms to EC category A.

I Heard

Culhane wasn't very complimentary of Bowsky overall, but he did say Willard was the studio's resident jazz expert, and did the best job with the Fleischers' jazz themed musical cartoons, with "Minnie the Moocher" the best-known of the group ("Sally Swing" from 1938 really isn't jazz, and it's well outside both the first epoch of the studio and the pre-Code period that was Betty's high point. But it still showed Bowsky knew how to build the pace of a musical cartoon even in a more scripted and structured format).

- J.V. (AKA "White Pongo") said...
You are right, he complimented Bowsky but in a kinda back-handed way. He said: "According to the standards of the studio, Willard drew very well and had a great appreciation for contemporary music so he was given sound tracks like 'Minnie The Moocher' and 'Stick Out Your Can Here Comes The Garbage Man'". Later on the same page (pg.47) Culhane writes: "While Bowsky couldn't really draw well enough to compete with the West Coast films, he did make some of the better jazz cartoons in the studio because he loved the music".
I agree, 'Sally Swing' is easy to pass over as it falls into the period when Betty was at her most sanitized (and the music is pretty uninspiring) but, in terms of animation, timing, layout, background and design, the cartoon is well worth a look.
Thanks for the links!

wow! i thought i'd seen a lot of fleischer cartoons but somehow i've never seen this one...and it's awesome!
definitely one of the more jam packed cartoons i've seen. and i'm still a little blown away by the fact that they managed to bring in ghosts but somehow work it into the story of the miners; with the bomb at the end re-killing the ghosts and mining tons of coal! i feel like any time i see ghosts in a fleischer cartoon, it's going to end with the characters just running away, maybe hiding, maybe doing a little dance at the end after disembowling a dragon, but the way they worked all the elements in here fits really nice!
thanks so much, as always, for bringing this fantastic stuff to my attention!

Wow, I've never seen that one before! It's now my favorite. Pure cartoon genius!!!

Wow, I thought everyone had seen this one! Blogger video is no way to see it though. It's really worth tracking it down on DVD. Unfortunately that means 'gray market' discs (ebay) which I can't account for. I suspect most are transferred from the Republic Laser Disc or VHS tapes released in the 90's. If you have the player, those VHS and LD sets come up for auction too fairly often.
Thanks for stopping by!

Betty Boop the Queen of surrealism, well mostly in her earlier cartoons anyway ;)
in this cartoon at a certian point you can hear the music from mysterious mose, and it can be sounded like, Dun Dun Dun Dun Dun Dun!
Betty Boop performs a fast song called How am i Doin! and adds some diffrent scat lyrics its really great to watch.
then everyone gossips on the telephone? and later you get to see ghosts, i think everyone likes a good ghost story.
i think at one point you can see bimbo and betty throwing a bomb.
also that can be heard in Bimbos initation, when Betty opens the door and says
Come inside Big Boy!
(in her baby brooklyn accent)
Speaking of sally swing, i think she was mainly a one off cartoon becuse she was voiced by Rose Marie, who in her childhood was known as Baby Rose marie, also not to mention they had nearly finished the betty boop series.
its a shame mae questel quit from 1938. i loved her vocals, i dont mind margie hines...... but she lacks....in the singing department....
she brings scat lyrics like hacha! and so on, its kinda like the swing era!
but in Buzzy boop which was released before Sally swing, you can hear Buzzy whistle a few of the scat lyrics.
i really do this this was a really surreal cartoon.
but other surreal cartoons overtake this, in the betty boop series.
its like they have minnie the moocher, and a few others.
sometimes some are unnoticed, like take umm.... The Herring Murder Case from (1931)
that was really surreal..... with Gus the gorilla going on a rampage..... minus Betty Boop wasnt involved in that cartoon so it lacked, and bimbo had the star role. but the herrings wife did perform a little tune in a boopish style. most likley ann rothschild in the earlier cartoons from 1931 - 1933.

I had never seen this one before either!
Not long after I watched this here on your awesome blog, I got a chance to see this on a big/small screen at a local cinema event. Every Thursday, they are doing free horror movie screenings, and occasionally, they show an accompanying cartoon. This was one that was shown. And it was great!!

On the Experts Round Table website, there's this cool bit of code that works with the SWFHeader library to extract the frame rate information from a Flash file.
The first idea is of course not to reinvent the wheel and search for an already-made solution. I had to find a really good way to extract information from a SWF file. I had two trivial ways to go : (a) find an already-made SWF Header Extractor, or (b) work at the binary level.
At first, of course, I turned to the PHP documentation (http://www.php.net/manual/en/) and found out the LibSWF and Ming libraries as candidates.
Of course, the code is provided for his solution, and it's actually quite simple. The class does the hard work of mapping out the data from the Flash file's header. All he needed to do was to reference that value in the result under the 'fps' array key.

1977 Chevy C10 - Savin' Cash, Goin' FastPosted in Features on November 1, 2009
Scott McCracken grew up riding and racing dirt bikes. A few years back he decided he wanted to build up a go-fast truck for fun and to try his hand at some desert competition. He put the word out that he was looking for a base truck for the project and a friend soon pointed him to a source that had what he was seeking.
Scott ended up buying basically a basket case 1977 Chevy C10 truck in 2005 that had formerly been a working prerunner but was in the middle of some suspension modifications when the previous owner decided to move on to another project. Once Scott hauled it home on a trailer, he set out by removing most of the front end of the truck and started redesigning it the way he wanted.
Where we, and probably many of you, can relate is the desire to build up a cool project and do so on a budget short of what it costs to fly to the moon. This was Scott's plan as well. To keep costs down, he had planned to do most of the work himself, including all the mechanical, chassis, fabrication, and welding. He did have a few ace cards that would make achieving his goal easier. Scott designs and builds industrial machinery, works in the metal fabrication industry and around some well-known builders. Cutting Edge Manufacturing, where he works, does all manner of CNC work, including laser cutting and forming, so he does have access to some excellent tooling to turn his metal ideas into reality.
When he started, he knew little about building a truck of this nature but did a lot of studying and asking questions to friends and fellow fabricators. Being a mechanical engineer by trade, Scott is adept at designing and modeling with Pro/ENGINEER 3D CAD software, so most everything was designed and checked on a computer screen before metal parts were cut and welded.
This truck took a few years to build given the financial constraints and Scott doing almost all the work himself. He made a parts list of components he knew he would need and was vigilant to shop for used parts or discounts that could bring in the parts he needed while minimizing the cash that left. He advised us that patience pays and it takes time to build, so look for good deals along the way.
Scott's already tried the truck out in a couple of races, placing second in class in the Whiplash Vulture Mine race and fourth overall in the Whiplash Firebird GP. He's looking forward to doing more racing regionally and in Best in the Desert races.
With the truck up and running, and starting to compete, it looks like Scott met his goal to build a DIY capable racer on a budget within reach of many of us. Maybe you'll build one too!

Images were posted on social media sites and also caught on school security cameras.
A Minneapolis high school has disciplined four students after a dark-skinned doll was dangled by its neck with a piece of string.
Minneapolis Public Schools said Thursday students recorded the incident that happened last Friday at Washburn High School. Images were posted on social media sites and also caught on school security cameras.
The district says it's "deeply disturbed" by what it calls "an incident of racial intolerance." The district says the four students were disciplined but didn't say how, because of school privacy restrictions.
The Star Tribune (http://bit.ly/r11BGJ ) reports Washburn on Thursday canceled after-school activities, including a basketball game, because of safety concerns following the incident.
In a letter sent home to parents, Principal Carol Markham-Cousins said she took immediate action when she learned about the incident.

This Greenfield Recorder editorial appeared two days after the historic 1963 civil rights "March on Washington." Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech, for which the event is most remembered, is not even mentioned. The editorial casts doubt on whether the march will soon achieve one of its key goals, convincing congress to pass civil rights legislation. Congress, for example, "was more interested in preventing a rail strike Wednesday than it was in the mammoth parade." The editors' gloomy view of political reality was not off base: it took the assassination of President Kennedy in October to create the momentum for the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
