Rick Abate wanted something unique and different. This is a difficult goal, but one made easier with the '61 Impala. While great looking, the '61s have never achieved the popularity of their '62-63 brothers. So, while the more popular Impalas are the first choice of most, those looking to stand apart from the crowd often find love behind the wheel of a '61.
Rick found his Impala for sale online in Alabama. After a local hot rod shop was hired to check the car out and gave it the thumbs up, he bought it without seeing it in person. An anxious three weeks later, Rick returned home from a business trip to find his "new" Impala waiting in the garage. The next day in full light he saw the true condition of the car, and that's when the trapdoor underneath him fell open.
The Impala seemed to be crabbing, with Rick working hard just to keep the car going straight when driving. A visit to the local front end shop told the tale, everything in the front end was found to be worn out and in need of replacing. A few months after that, the 383 stroker in the car went off like a hand grenade and busted two pistons. Not to be left out of the party, the rear end and transmission were also in similar mechanical distress. The fenders on the Impala were badly out of alignment, and the interior was shot. Topping it all off was the paint on the lower portion of the car was not the best and needed work.
Not to be deterred, Rick set forth on a six-year project to right all the wrongs with his Impala. In his own words "I got really good at spending money with this car."
The junk 383 was replaced with a modified GM Performance Parts ZZ383 crate engine set up by RC Performance in Huntington Beach, California, and backed by a worked TH350 trans. The factory rear was fully rebuilt by Scared Shiftless in Santa Ana with a Posi unit and 3.25 gears, and the factory driveshaft was replaced with an Inland Empire two-piece, slip yoke unit with spun aluminum carrier and urethane bearing.
Up front, the factory suspension was fully rebuilt, then a CPP front disc brake conversion was installed along with CPP 11/8-inch front and 1-inch rear sway bay kit. The factory steering box was pulled in favor of a late model Saginaw 605 box, and Ride Tech air springs and KYB double actuated gas shocks were installed at all four corners. Finishing everything up are a set of American Hoopster wheels wrapped in Nitto 555 tires, 18x8s front and 20x9.5s rear.
For the body, Rick took the car to Autobahn in Costa Mesa to get all the panels realigned, then resprayed so everything matched up properly. The House of Kolor Tangelo Pearl Orange paint on top of the car was good except for one fender that had to be redone, but the lower half of the car and anywhere else that was white had to be repainted completely in House of Kolor Standard White. All the body panels were realigned and fitted properly and the bumpers and grille, painted by the previous owner, were stripped and chromed to add extra shine. On the inside, the car's interior was refurbished by Sergio at Orange Auto Upholstery in Orange, California, with leather coverings for the seats and door panels, one-piece headliner, and fresh carpet. A Panasonic single-disc CD player/stereo handles the cruising tunes.
For Rick, this car's never truly finished. His goal is to perform some sort of major upgrade or change to the car every year. Future plans call for a 9-inch rear to replace the factory unit, and as of this publishing the factory gauges have already been replaced with aftermarket units.

The most coolest Naruto jutsu that I've seen is probably the "Rasengan" technique. In this awesome tutorial that I found on YouTube, you'll be learning "how to draw Rasengan step by step". I really enjoyed watching the artist speed draw this awesome technique. In order to "draw Rasengan", you'll have to understand how Naruto creates it. He first lets out his hand and lets one of his clones power up the Rasengan ball. I've seen this technique in action and I have to say it's pretty radical. The artist did a very good job on the whole aurora of the drawing. I believe I seen the reference image he used for the drawing online, it's very nice. Learning "how to draw Naruto Rasengan" can be so easy once you've practiced. I would recommend by starting off by practicing drawing Naruto until you have the hang of the character. After, start drawing him in different views. I've done this plenty of times and can draw almost any Naruto character in various poses. Anyways, thank you so much for viewing this tutorial. I give many wishes that you'll be able to "draw Rasengan".

Model fit indices for two-part growth...
Mplus Discussion
Growth Modeling of Longitudinal Data
Scott Weaver
posted on Monday, March 13, 2006 - 3:30 pm
I am fitting the binary portion of a semincontinuous growth model (as a preliminary step for building the full semicontinuous model) for the first time. I have a few questions regarding the output:
(1) I notice that Pearson chi-square and likelihood ratio chi-square values are provided. I had previously thought that a chi-sq test of model fit was not available for analyses requiring numerical integration. The Pearson chi-sq test statistical is highly significant (p<.0001) whereas the likelihood chi-sq test is not (p=1.00). Which one should I use?
(1a) Can I use the likelihood ratio chi-sq test for chi-sq difference testing or should I use the Loglikelihood value? How do I incorporate the scaling correction factor when using the LogL for nested model difference testing?
(2) For the residual output - what do you think would be too high of a value for a residual? Basically, I am trying to decide from the output whether the linear model is appropriate or whether I should try other growth forms.
(3) I noticed that the plot of estimated probabilities for being in category 2 was not exactly linear. So is it that the log odds of being in category 2 is constrained to be linear in this model? If I wanted to specify a model of linear growth in propensity, how could I do this?
(4) In a multiple group context, would I use the Known Classes statement?
Thank you in advance!

1. The Pearson and LRT chi-squares are only for the binary part of the model, not a test of the overall fit of the whole model. When the Pearson and the LRT disagree this much, neither is reliable - this is typically due to many empty cells where it is well-known that the chi-square approximation is very poor.
2. It seems easier to try linear vs quadratic and test if the quadratic growth factor parameters are significant.
3. Linearity is on the logit (log odds) scale.
4. yes.

Thank you for your response. As I am taking the approach of fitting the binary and continuous parts separately to more easily determine the proper growth function prior to looking at the full semicontinuous model.
Regarding the unreliable chi-sq statistics, I do not seem to have any empty cells at the univariate or bivariate level. But I guess at combinations of 3-7 of the variables, there could be missing cells.
How do I use the scale correction factors with the log likelihood for comparing nested models? Can I use the procedures listed at
or do I need to make some adjustment because I am working with log likelihoods and not chi-square values?
Thanks again,
Bengt O. Muthen

The unreliable chi-square refers to empty cells in the p-variate table, where p is the total number of binary variables that you use in your model.
Yes, you can use that difference test approach.

I am trying to compare nested two-part growth models with known latent classes- with and without equality of variances across classes. I am using the MLR estimator.
Would I compare the fit of these models using the Satorra-Bentler scaled chi-square factor or a standard likelihood ratio test?
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Thursday, March 06, 2008 - 9:22 am
You need to use the scaling correction factor for MLR in the same way that you would with MLM.
Steven Haas
posted on Thursday, March 06, 2008 - 3:13 pm
Thanks. I have a second question. When choosing between two models I come to different conclusions if I use BIC and the scaled correction chi-square.
Details of the two models.
Both are two-part growth mixture with known classes. One allows variances to be free across classes and the other constrains the varainces to be equal.
Model 1 likelihood -50705 scaling factor .988 df=41 BIC 101785.
Model 2 likelihood -50715 scaling factor 1.094 df=29 BIC 101695.
The Satorra-Bentler is approx 26.00 which is significant at p-value .0106.
SB says model 1 is prefered BIC says model 2.
Any thoughts as to which test is better?
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Friday, March 07, 2008 - 6:19 am
I'm not sure that this is a fair comparison because the number of parameters in the two models is different and BIC has the number of parameters as part of its formula.

I just wanted to check in to make sure that with Mplus 7 fit statistics have not been added for a two-part semicontinuous model. I have reviewers who are asking for them even after I told then mplus does not provide any.
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Friday, November 09, 2012 - 2:25 pm
When we do not provide chi-square and related fit statistics, it is because means, variances, and covariances are not sufficient statistics for model estimation. These fit statistics have not been developed for models where means, variances, and covariances are not sufficient statistics for model estimation. This has not changed.

The folks who publish the Battlefield and Mass Effect franchises aren't above some really questionable marketing campaigns. Remember the fake protests for Dante's Inferno or the Dead Space 2 ads that talked about your moms? Now, their latest could-be-controversial gambit is a plea to raise the speed limit because that's what Americans want.
EA took out an advertisement in The New York Times today, arguing that raising the speed limit in America to Need For Speed-levels would stimulate job creation and stop people from texting. The basis of their pitch is a recently passed law that changed the speed limit in Texas to 85. It's clearly a spoofy attention-grab, but one that's a little tone-deaf to the dangers of driving so fast in the real world. Other meteorological concerns are on people's minds today, so we'll see if enough people notice to get up in arms over this. Or not. Your mileage may vary.

DataNucleus requires that all classes that are persisted implement PersistenceCapable , an interface defined by JDO. Why should we do this, Hibernate/TopLink dont need it ? . Well thats a simple question really
Why not also read this comparison of bytecode enhancement, and proxies. It gives a clear enough comparison of the relative benefits.
In a JDO-enabled application there are 3 categories of classes. These are PersistenceCapable , PersistenceAware and normal classes. The Meta-Data defines which classes fit into these categories. To give an example for JDO, we have 3 classes. The class A is to be persisted in the datastore. The class B directly updates the fields of class A but doesn't need persisting. The class C is not involved in the persistence process. We would define JDO MetaData for these classes like this
<class name="A" persistence-modifier="persistence-capable"> <field name="myField"> ... </field> ... </class> <class name="B" persistence-modifier="persistence-aware"> </class>
So our MetaData is mainly for those classes that are PersistenceCapable and are to be persisted to the datastore (we don't really need the persistence-modifier for thse classes since this is the default). For PersistenceAware classes we simply notate that the class knows about persistence. We don't define MetaData for any class that has no knowledge of persistence.
JDO requires that all classes to be persisted must implement the PersistenceCapable interface . Users could manually do this themselves but this would impose work on them. JDO permits the use of a byte-code enhancer that converts the users normal classes to implement this interface. DataNucleus provides its own byte-code enhancer (this can be found in the datanucleus-enhancer.jar ). This section describes how to use this enhancer with DataNucleus. The DataNucleus enhancer fully implements JDO2 and so is the recommended choice when persisting using the JDO2 API. The enhancement process adds the necessary methods to the users class in order to implement PersistenceCapable .
The example above doesn't show all PersistenceCapable methods, but demonstrates that all added methods and fields are prefixed with "jdo" to distinguish them from the users own methods and fields. Also each persistent field of the class will be given a jdoGetXXX, jdoSetXXX method so that accesses of these fields are intercepted so that JDO can manage their "dirty" state.
The MetaData defines which classes are required to be persisted, and also defines which aspects of persistence each class requires. For example if a class has the detachable attribute set to true , then that class will be enhanced to also implement Detachable
Again, the example above doesn't show all methods added for the Detachable interface but the main thing to know is that the detached state (object id of the datastore object, the version of the datastore object when it was detached, and which fields were detached is stored in "jdoDetachedState"). Please see the JDO spec for more details.
If the MetaData is changed in any way during development, the classes should always be recompiled and re-enhanced afterwards.
Some groups (e.g Hibernate) perpetuated arguments against "byte-code enhancement" saying that it was somehow 'evil'. The most common were :-
So as you can see, there are no valid reasons against byte-code enhancement, and the pluses are that runtime detection of dirty events on objects is much quicker, hence your persistence layer operates faster without any need for iterative reflection-based checks. The fact is that Hibernate itself also now has a mode whereby you can do bytecode enhancement although not the default mode of Hibernate. So maybe it wasn't so evil after all ?
Many people will wonder what actually happens to a class upon bytecode enhancement. In simple terms the necessary methods and fields are added so as to implement PersistenceCapable . If you want to check this, just use a Java decompiler such as JD. It has a nice GUI allowing you to just select your class to decompile and shows you the source.

Backup Gmail with getmail
We can use getmail to fully backup email messages from a Gmail account.
Emails will be backed-up in Maildir format, meaning that each email will be a separate text file, readable with any email client, or even with a text editor.
Installing getmail
pacman -S getmail
Creating required files and folders
Getmail reads its configuration from ~/.getmail/getmailrc by default. Unfortunately this directory and file do not exist by default, so we need to create them.
mkdir ~/.getmail touch ~/.getmail/getmailrc chmod 700 ~/.getmail
We also need to create the folder where the emails will be backed-up:
mkdir ~/bak/mail cd ~/bak/mail mkdir cur new tmp
For this example ~/bak/mail was chosen , but it could just as well be ~/mail. The cur, new and tmp folders are required by the Maildir format and by getmail.
Configuring getmail
Open the ~/.getmail/getmailrc file and add the entries below. The complete file can also be found here http://archlinux.pastebin.com/0GH5vtSn
# More configuration options here: # http://pyropus.ca/software/getmail/configuration.html
[retriever] type = SimpleIMAPSSLRetriever server = imap.gmail.com mailboxes = ("[Gmail]/All Mail",) username = USER password = PASS
The retriever section tells getmail where to connect. It uses IMAP to connect to the server. For POP3 we can use the type SimplePOP3SSLRetriever, but we'll also have to modify the server field. The mailbox which we backup will be All Mail.
The username and password fields need to be changed to your own.
[destination] type = Maildir path = ~/bak/mail/
The path field is the destination folder (which we created earlier) where the emails will be backed-up. All emails will be placed in 'new', and the cur and tmp folders will be left empty. This is normal, do not delete cur and tmp.
The options section is a bit longer:
[options] verbose = 2 message_log = ~/.getmail/log
This tells getmail to be very verbose and tell us the status of each message (whether it was backed-up successfully, total number of messages, etc). Also, everything will be logged to ~/.getmail/log.
# retrieve only new messages # if set to true it will re-download ALL messages every time! read_all = false
# do not alter messages delivered_to = false received = false
Setting delivered_to and received fields to false will prevent emails from being altered by getmail.
Running getmail and adding a cron job
Now if we run getmail it will backup all Gmail emails to ~/bak/mail, outputting its status along the way.
We want to periodically run getmail to backup our Gmail account, so we'll add a cron job:
* * * * * ID=getmail FREQ=1d getmail -q
The -q parameter will run getmail in quiet mode and only report errors.
Migrating emails, importing old emails
Backing-up emails will suffice for most people, but if we want to migrate our emails to another account it gets a bit tricky. The appendmail script from http://bitbucket.org/wooptoo/appendmail can help us import emails to another account, be it Gmail or not. It can also be used to import old emails in our existing Gmail account.
Basically it reads every email file from its 'import' folder and puts it on Gmail.
A direct link to download is http://bitbucket.org/wooptoo/appendmail/get/tip.zip It needs PHP to run, and you need to modify the username and password to yours.

Malhotra did struggle to start the year.

I don't know how "they stuck with Manny" when they've been giving him the responsibility of very tough defensive minutes against top 6 forwards all season long. If they were actually sticking with him, would they not have been protecting him more?
But come on, Manny went from being one of the best 3rd line centres, received Selke consideration last year, and now he's playing 4th line minutes and is being used strategically for defensive situations.
Is it a stretch to say Malhotra's game has regressed significantly since last season?
To start the year he really did struggle, even in those defensive situations he's now far more successful in.
I can't say if his game has regressed significantly as he was an orange last year and is an apple this year.
Before the trade deadline Malhotra was 8th on the team in TOI for forwards and 7th in total shifts per game, which are actually 3rd line numbers. I imagine that has changed since Pahlsson came in.

In the 1990s, the director of the YMCA in his home of Hereford, Texas, secured his services as a wrestling coach, and Hawk became as proud of his charges as he did of his pro career, sending several wrestlers to the Junior Olympics and to college on athletic scholarships.
A few years ago, four of them signed a letter to Hawk, born Harvey Evers in 1930, and he recounted party of it in an interview with SLAM! Wrestling: "Without you being there by our side and believing in us we would not have been the champions we are today. We may not always get the gold but what we have is irreplaceable. You are the gold to us," they said.
And that touched the heartstring of a guy who did his dead-level best to beat up fan favorites like Johnny Weaver and Cowboy Bob Ellis for years. "What more could a coach ask for?" he asked. "When they can write you a letter like that it brings tear to your eye. As Ike Eakins would say, it would bring a tear to a glass eye. Well, I guess I got a glass eye."
Hawk, who died December 22 at 82, after a series of heart-related ailments in recent years, was best known as the tag team partner of Swede Hanson in Jim Crockett Sr.'s Charlotte, N.C.-based promotion in the 1960s and 1970s. And he's more known to modern fans as Ric Flair's first teammate, when he took a wild young man to his side as a pretend "nephew" in 1974.
"Ric was a real case, always very flamboyant, always wanting to be noticed. Some of the promoters got upset with him -- don't do this, don't do that. I was like that myself. But he was one of the new breed, coming in a wild era and he proved himself."
But the ex-Marine's career went far beyond those affiliations. He was a main event star in St. Louis at the turn of the 1960s, feuding with on-air personality Joe Garagiola. By his own admission, he "raised hell" in Australia, California, Texas and elsewhere as "The Profile," Rip Hawk. He held more than a dozen tag team titles, was a four-time eastern State champion, and held the Texas heavyweight belt in 1963.
He also gave big breaks, personally and professionally, to wrestlers such as "Beautiful" Bruce Swayze, Weaver, and Jerry Brisco, whom he befriended in Australia and brought to Crockett's promotion.
"So I'm eternally to him because of his business knowledge inside and outside the ring," Brisco said. "Rip was a teacher; he was one of those old Marine guys that was a pretty gruff guy to some people but he wasn't a selfish guy or anything like that. If he took a liking to you, he took you under his wing and he wouldn't let you escape. He'd drill it, drill it, drill it, like they did in the Marines."
Evers was born in June 1930 in a small Indiana town and raised was raised in Ohio. His father was a minor league pitcher in the New York Yankees organization, but elbow problems ended his career. It was a rough life -- his family had no electricity, no indoor plumbing, and got by with a few cows and chickens on a farm. His mother landed a job at $12 a week, which was like a fortune during the Depression. "We had to get our water out of the pump, the well out in the back and carry it in, and when we needed a bath we had a big old washtub that we used to fill water in and heat it up. That was our bath," he said.
It wasn't long before he found his life's calling, though. A sergeant at a Police Athletic Club got him into wrestling, bought him a pair of wrestling shoes, and he was off and running. He turned pro around his 18th birthday for Ohio promoter Cliff Maupin, and landed in Chicago, wrestling and training for about a year with Karl Pojello, the manager of The French Angel (Maurice Tillet), at a camp of future all-stars such as Johnny Valentine, Farmer Marlin and Man Mountain Dean Jr.
"We used to work out hard, really hard. We'd get up in the morning, do our running, then we'd lift weights, then we'd take a break, then we'd get on the mat. We'd take turns wrestling sometimes four and five hours a day just wrestling, not counting the other stuff. Well, by the time evening got there, we were so tired, we didn't want to do anything. We'd just go to our cots and flop down and sleep after we ate. But it was quite an experience," he said.
Hawk worked briefly in New York under his real name before hooking up with the Marines, as a way of avoiding being drafted in the Army at the time of the Korean War. Some friends had told him their Marine training saved their lives in places like Saipan and Guadalcanal, and Hawk never forgot his service. "I was very proud that I signed up for the Marine Corps. I served, did my thing. I was very fortunate." Discharged in January 1954, he brushed a suggestion from his commanding officer that he stay in the military, telling him he thought he could do better in wrestling.
Hawk -- the nom de guerre name was suggested by a promoter -- started to make a name for himself in Atlanta, where his first big payday was against Fred Blassie. "He was like most of the old-timers, we were all characters. If you weren't a character in this business, you may as well slam the door in your own face. You had to be a character to the people in the ring; out of the ring you had to live your part to be successful," he said.
He got his first national exposure in St. Louis and its famous Wrestling at the Chase TV program, making the cover of Parade magazine with Joe Tomasso. "In St. Louis, in those days, wrestling was such big time people used to gamble on it. The police used to have to block your way, block off the fans when you got to the arena and keep them from getting to you. All they wanted was autographs on the way in. On the way out, they wanted to punch you out," he said.
In St. Louis, legendary heel Bill Longson, who owned part of the promotion, passed on his piledriver to Hawk, and it became his finisher for the rest of his career. His bloody bouts with Ellis drew big crowds to Kiel Auditorium, but Hawk never forgot to have a little fun in the ring. One night, he purchased a little handheld buzzer that vibrates wildly when you shake hands with somebody.
"I was wrestling Cowboy Bob Ellis. He was kind of goofy," he laughed. "So we're wrestling, he got me in his bulldog headlock and started to take off with me and I hit him right in the ass with that buzzer. He let go of me and fly across the ring all by himself. Well, Swede and I took advantage of that and beat the shit out of him. To me, that was funny. Ellis didn't appreciate that. I got him good."
Hawk went to the Carolinas in 1960 and was never shy about saying he helped pump life into a moribund promotion. There, he tapped Hanson, a ex-Golden Gloves fighter from New Jersey, as his partner in a heavy tag team territory. They fought Weaver and George Becker for years in every conceivable kind of match and earned their stars as one of the greatest tag teams of all time.
"That Swede and I had more fun going throughout different countries than any man deserves to have, from Australia to Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Canada, you name it we had the fun," Hawk said in a 2008 interview.
"One night we flew back from Tokyo and we were supposed to wrestle in Richmond, Va. The plane was late, we rushed off the plane and got a cab to go the arena and we were changing clothes in the cab. He's 300 pounds and I was 250. Here's two big clowns changing clothes in the back of a cab. The driver couldn't believe what we were doing. He dropped us off, we paid him and we were ready to wrestle. The fact that we were tired and had been drinking on the way back had nothing to do with it. We knew we had to be in that ring and we knew we had to perform and we did."
Hawk left his comfort niche in the Crockett business in 1975 over differences with booker George Scott. He hooked up with Eddie Einhorn's International Wrestling Alliance, which promised guarantee salaries, national publicity, and first-class accommodations. But he got into a rift with IWA promoter Pedro Martinez -- "I was going to shoot him one night in South Carolina. He shorted me on my payday and he sent the money with one of his stooges. ... 'You tell that son of a bitch I'm coming to shoot him.' I got my gun out of my bag and I guess he warned Pedro and he took off. I was just going to shoot him in the leg." Hawk ended up in Washington, D.C., talking to U.S. senators about the IWA at the request of Jim Barnett, the promoter who'd booked him in Australia, as the Einhorn group gradually went out of business.
After wrestling, Hawk settled in west Texas with his second wife, whom Hanson called "Lee-tle Linda," because of his Spanish background. He spent a lot of time at the ranch of his daughter and son-in-law that is home to about 2,000 head of cattle occasionally taking potshots at nearby prairie dogs. "Lots of farmers put poison out there because the prairie dogs make all these holes then the cattle step in them and break their legs and then they're no good," he said.
And, in addition to teaching wrestling, he lived for the rodeo exploits of his grandson Yaegar; you couldn't talk to Hawk in recent years without hearing the sheer delight in his voice about his grandson's calf-roping or steer riding successes.
Reflecting on his career a few years ago, he said. "I had an especially good life when I had children and grandchildren and I love life. But we all have to go sometime. Like I say, I don't want to be morbid but please remember that I lived a good life. It was a hard life, but it was good."
A funeral service will be at 1 p.m. Dec. 27 at the First Baptist Church of Hereford, Texas, with Ken Varner officiating. Rix Funeral Directors of Hereford is in charge of arrangements.
Steven Johnson enjoyed interviewing Rip Hawk dozens of times in the last eight years and SLAM! Wrestling will have more on his career and his colleagues in the coming days.

The English Acoustic Collective
Welcome to the EAC website - its pages contain information and downloads on the organisation and the work of the individuals involved. Your feedback and suggestions are welcomed via an email link at the foot of each page.
The EAC is a fluid group of composers, writers and choreographers whose work is grounded in a love for their common cultural inheritance. The work outlined on the site seeks to articulate and amplify the case for authentic and meaningful indigenous forms of cultural expression. It also investigates the creative 'wet edge' between the traditional and the contemporary.
The people of England have been unravelling the
universe through their songs, stories, poetry, jokes and dances for millennia
and it is this vibrant body of work which becomes the freely given treasure
trove for the next generation. The simple lesson we have learnt from our
ancestors is to tell nothing more or less than our own story and that
the gold we are all searching for is in our own backyard.
We are pleased to announce that the EAC Summer School will once again be held at Ruskin Mill, Nailsworth, Gloucestershire from July 16th to 20th 2018. This course will be led by Rob Harbron and Miranda Rutter with guest tutor Sam Sweeney; more information and application forms are now available on the Summer School page
|Kazuo Ishiguro
"The way I see it is like this … There is this kind of treasure chest you have sitting in front of you, and if you were American or perhaps Irish you might have opened it by now, but because you live here it probably hasn't occurred to you to do so yet. Well, I would urge you to open that thing up and delve inside it, because I believe you'll find there a sublime vision of life in the British Isles at it has been lived over the last few centuries; and it's the kind of vision that you can't readily get from the works of say, Dickens or Shakespeare or Elgar or Sir Christopher Wren. If you don't open that treasure box I think you are going to miss a certain dimension, a whole dimension of cultural life in this country so I urge you to do it."
Speaking at the 2003 BBC Folk Awards, London
|Dr John Sentamu
"What is it to be English? It is a very serious question. The English are somehow embarrassed about some of the good things they have done. Multiculturalism has seemed to imply, wrongly for me, 'Let other cultures be allowed to express themselves but do not let the majority culture at all tell us its glories, its struggles, its joys, its pains'. A failure to rediscover English culture would fuel greater political extremism."
Speaking before his enthronement as Archbishop of York, November 2005

Direct project support and consulting services
We offer two consulting programs:Â one designed for small business owners and the other designed for CEO's and their teams.
1. Small Business Mastery Program
2. Executive Planning and Performance Management Program
Small Business Mastery Includes:
• Getting you clear about what you want for your business and capturing a twelve-month plan on paper;   Â
• Accurately identifying what's working for you and what's not, so that you can more effectively choose strategies that fit you, your unique strengths and your business needs;
• Constructing systems and processes that consistently support forward action toward your big-picture goals and life priorities; and
• Maintaining accountability over time, so that you actually reach your goals, rather than fizzling out before you get there. Â
We call this program our Small Business Mastery Program. As a participant, you'll receive:
• One-on-one work to create a 12-month plan for your business;
• A monthly one-on-one progress review session to problem-solve any barriers that have arisen;
• A monthly group session to keep you accountable and motivated; if group work is not desired, additional one-on-one work can be substituted;
• Virtually unlimited email/phone support between sessions; and
• Six additional learning opportunities offered to program participants only throughout the year.
The program is intentionally designed to be very affordable, even for the smallest of businesses. You will be matched with the group that appears to be the best fit for your industry, degree of experience and personality.
 Executive Planning and Performance Management Program Includes:
For organizations that operate under the direction of a CEO, Executive Director, management team and/or Board of Directors, our work together generally focuses on:
• Getting people engaged in conversations that really matter, minimizing the tendency for groups to "churn" around issues that really don't move your organization forward;   Â
• Helping managers get clear about how their role fits into the big picture and an organization's overarching goals for the future;
• Creating a common language that crosses divisional boundaries and encourages people to share their very best thinking with each other;Â
• Identifying rock-solid, measurable goals, so that the entire team understands the performance expectations; and
• Maintaining accountability over time, so that planning gets integrated with real-world action. Â
Most often, entrance into the Executive Planning & Performance Management Program kicks off at the point of a team planning event such as an off-site meeting or formal retreat.Â
In support of the planning event, we typically provide:
• Pre-planning sessions with organization leads;
• Stakeholder surveys;
• Facilitation of a planning event for the management team and/or Board;
• Documentation of a final plan.
After the plan is documented, we offer a number of tools and services to support implementation of the plan and accountability to the goals outlined.
Payment plans are available for consulting services and generous discounts are provided to nonprofit organizations.
We also offer an array of project support services to our clients through a network of virtual assistants and freelance professionals.

Adeyemi off but Bees march on
Brentford stretched their unbeaten league run to 10 matches with a 3-1 win at struggling Colchester.
Brentford took a fourth-minute lead when Marcello Trotta controlled before emphatically firing in from close range after Clayton Donaldson had nodded down at the far post.
Things went from bad to worse for Colchester six minutes later when defender Josh Thompson was dismissed for denying a goalscoring opportunity when he brought down Donaldson on the edge of the penalty area.
From the resulting free-kick Adam Forshaw planted a well-placed shot past Colchester goalkeeper Mark Cousins to leave Brentford in control.
Colchester pulled a goal back midway through the first half through 17-year-old Drey Wright, who picked up Kem Izzet's pass before advancing towards goal and stroking in a low shot past Bees goalkeeper Richard Lee.
And just before half-time Bees midfielder Tom Adeyemi was sent off after picking up his second yellow card in the space of 10 minutes.
But with five minutes remaining Harlee Dean tapped in from two yards after Cousins had failed to hold the ball to wrap up the points for Brentford.

Rockin' and Rollin' with Ricky Nelson
By: Legacy Staff
6 years ago
Ricky Nelson was born May 8, 1940, 73 years ago today … and not long after, he became a star. Nelson was just 9 when he began appearing with father Ozzie, mother Harriet and brother David on the radio program The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet. As he grew up, he graduated to movie and TV star (he was 12 for the family's first feature film, Here Come the Nelsons, and the debut of the TV version of Ozzie and Harriet), then teen idol and recording artist.
At the peak of his career, in the late 1950s and early '60s, Nelson was one of the very hottest musicians around. From 1957 to 1962, only Elvis Presley and Pat Boone charted more Top 40 hits. And, of course, some of his rock 'n' roll classics made it to the very top of the charts. Here's a look at Ricky Nelson's No. 1 hits.
It was five years into the TV run of The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet when Nelson first sang on the show, launching his recording career. Teens who already loved his onscreen persona and boy-next-door good looks went completely gaga over his debut single and the tracks that followed. He hit the Top Five immediately, and by 1958 he went all the way to No. 1 with "Poor Little Fool."
For the next several years, Nelson rarely left the Top 40, and he was back on top with 1961's "Travelin' Man."
Nelson was ready and willing to change his sound to suit the times. 1963's "For You" left behind his early rockabilly sound for a very au-courant groove. Though the tune reached only No. 6 on the Hot 100, its mellow tone took it to the top of the Adult Contemporary chart.
As the '70s began, Nelson embraced a new sound, becoming a pioneer of the country rock movement. His 1972 track "Garden Party" was another Top 10 song for Nelson, and once again he was No. 1 with Adult Contemporary listeners.
"Garden Party" was Nelson's final No. 1 hit, though he continued to perform. On Dec. 31, 1985, Nelson and his band were on tour, traveling to a show in Dallas, when their plane crashed two miles short of the landing strip. Nelson, his fiancée and all of his bandmates were killed. Only the pilots escaped.
Nelson was only 45 when he died, though he left a lifetime's worth of TV and movie performances and dozens of hit songs. But there was one more important legacy he left: his children. Two of his sons, Gunnar and Matthew, followed in their dad's footsteps as musicians. As the band Nelson, they too made it to the very peak of stardom, hitting No. 1 on the Hot 100 in 1990, five years after their father's death, with their single "(Can't Live Without Your) Love and Affection." Just like their father, they perfectly captured the sound of their era. We think he would have been proud.

text: As an alternative to the 4T FORTE™, M3™ and Vektor2™ continuous yarn options and VantageOne™ glued membranes, OneSails offers more traditional woven cross-cut and tri-radial panelled sails. Woven cloth - the underrated sail material. Even today, fabrics are still very popular. That's right, because fabrics are made without glue and without film. They are robust, durable and inexpensive. Sails in Cross Cut are also the most cost-effective to manufacture. In short, a fabric consists of long warp and short weft threads, which are interwoven at 90 ° angle. To offset diagonal loads, sailcloth manufacturers have come up with some ideas. One is called "heat setting", where the polyester fibers are shrunk by heat after weaving. The fabric becomes more compact and gains diagonal stability. Another is resin coating: resin fills the gaps between the weave yarns, and as long as the coating stays on it adds diagonal ("bias") strength to the material. They also use different yarns for the warp and the weft, to suit different applications: namely, on high aspect ratio (tall and narrow) sails, the weft (also called "fill") yarns are stronger, as the higher loads on the sail are mainly vertical. Suitable cuts We can recommend the crosscut for any sails up to about 35 square meters. For larger sails, the radial cut has its advantages in terms of dimensional stability, longer service life and lower weight. We use the following fabric lines from Dimension Polyant for crosscut: All Purpose (AP), Stong Fill (SF) and C Breeze (CB). Suitable for: all cruising sailors who are looking to price effective and durable sails.

Step 1: Export your iTunes playlists (even "Genius" lists will work with this!) to a folder on your Windows computer
Step 2: Run the "fixlist.cmd" file from within the folder where you exported your playlists. (See below for code)
Step 3: Import your playlists into Madsonic!
Below is the script for what is needed to do the above. There are two files you need to create. One is "Fixlist.Cmd", and the other is "Fixlist.vbs". The CMD file will "call" the VBS file. You will only need to make changes to the CMD file, based on your storage locations.
Code: Select all
@echo off
REM ** Change to the drive where your media is **
REM ** Change to folder on drive above where media is stored **
cd \allshared\media\playlists
REM ** The Next two lines call the VBS file.
REM ** Line 1 converts the data folders from the Windows path to the Linux path
REM ** Line 2 converts any remaining \ into / (If you are not using Linux, then REM this line out!)
REM ** Note: To view the full path, open a playlist in Notepad, and you can copy/paste here
for %%A in ("*.m3u8") DO cscript //nologo fixlist.vbs "%%A" "X:\path\from\playlist\file" "\linux\path\to\media"

Diagnostic testing
Early and accurate diagnosis of malaria is essential for both rapid and effective disease management and surveillance. High-quality malaria diagnosis is important in all settings as misdiagnosis can result in significant morbidity and mortality. WHO recommends prompt malaria diagnosis either by microscopy or malaria rapid diagnostic test (RDT) in all patients with suspected malaria before treatment is administered. Diagnostic testing improves the overall management of patients with febrile illnesses, and may also help to reduce the emergence and spread of drug resistance by reserving antimalarials for those who actually have the disease.

If I've understood correctly, ちょうど followed by a counting word usually means something like "just x" or "exactly x" depending on the context, but I can't figure out what it means in this opening sentence of a novel:
I understand the overall meaning of the sentence, but the exact purpose of ちょうど一本 here eludes me. What does the 一本 count? Or is ちょうど一本 some sort of set phrase beyond counting cylindrical things?

What a treat! It seems that the good classic mods here are getting releases more now than ever.
Smokin' Guns is intended to be a recreation of the "Old West's" great atmosphere. It is being developed on IoQ3's implementation of Id Softwares IdTECH3 engine. This Total Conversion of Q3 includes weapons created with historically correct information about damage, rate of fire, reload time, etc. It also includes gametypes and maps inspired mostly from western styled movies. And to increase the feeling of a "Gunslingers Atmosphere" music tracks and sounds have been adapted to the simulated times. The Smokin' Guns game started its life under the name of Western Quake³. It was originally developed by a team known as Iron Claw Interactive. They released WQ³ beta 2.0 in 2003, after which development all but ceased. In May 2005, development of Western Quake³ was taken over of by a bunch of cowboys calling themselves The Smokin' Guns with the blessings of the former team. Improvements to the game continue to this day! Please post all support issues in the forums for the game.
This is the full package of Smokin' Guns 1.1 Release Candidate 2. Download it, unzip it, and run smokinguns.exe (Windows) or smokinguns.i386 (Linux). Please report bug at forum.smokin-guns.org as soon as you discover them, since this RC is likely the 1.1 release.
What a treat! It seems that the good classic mods here are getting releases more now than ever.
Technically, SG is no longer a mod. It runs on a modified ioquake3 and does not use Q3 assets anymore :)

New Pill Cases from ThyCa: Thyroid Cancer Survivors' Association Help Patients and Support Awareness, Services, and Research05/2007
Three-Packs Include Two 7-Day Cases Plus a Pocket Case
Thyroid cancer patients, who range from young children through seniors, take a dose of levothyroxine, thyroid hormone replacement, every day for their lifetimes.
To help patients keep track of their daily pills, while raising awareness of thyroid cancer and the availability of free support services and education, ThyCa: Thyroid Cancer Survivors' Association, Inc. (www.thyca.org) is pleased to offer a handy three-pack of pill cases. Each package includes two seven-day pill cases with large lettering for each day of the week, plus a compact pocket pill case.
The packages of three pill cases are available for $5, and the proceeds benefit ThyCa's outreach, support services, and thyroid cancer research grants. People who join ThyCa as lifetime members receive the package of pill cases at no charge.
With each order or membership, ThyCa also includes free thyroid cancer awareness brochures and plastic wallet cards listing ThyCa's free services and contact information. ThyCa's web site has photos of the pill cases, wristbands, pins, and other thyroid cancer awareness items, plus the order form.
"We heard many people ask for something to help remember their pills, and we're here to help," said Leah Guljord, ThyCa Spirit Items Coordinator and thyroid cancer survivor of West Melbourne, Florida.
"ThyCa raises awareness year-round to increase early detection, because thyroid cancer is usually treatable when found early. We encourage everyone to ask their doctor for a neck check," said Gary Bloom, ThyCa Board Chair and thyroid cancer survivor of Olney, Maryland.
ThyCa: Thyroid Cancer Survivors' Association, Inc., is a national nonprofit organization of thyroid cancer survivors, families, and health care professionals. ThyCa's free support services to cancer patients, their families, friends, and caregivers, includes a network of more than 60 support groups, one-to-one support matched by diagnosis, an award-winning educational Web site (www.thyca.org) providing more than 600 pages about thyroid cancer, free educational materials, and a free downloadable low-iodine cookbook.

Hi-Res (254K)
Contact: Diane Ainsworth
August 26, 1999
Astronomers have used the world's two most powerful radar telescopes to make the most detailed images ever obtained for an asteroid in a near-Earth trajectory.
With an average diameter of about 3.5 kilometers (2 miles), 1999 JM8 is the largest near-Earth asteroid ever studied in detail. Although this object can pass fairly close to Earth in celestial terms, astronomers concur that an actual encounter with Earth is not of concern in the next few centuries.
The new images, obtained with NASA's Goldstone Solar System Radar in California and the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, reveal that 1999 JM8 is a several-kilometer-wide object with a peculiar shape and an unusually slow and possibly complex spin state, said Dr. Lance Benner of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA, who led the team of astronomers. The images are available online at
"It will take much more data analysis to determine the object's shape and exact rotation state," Benner said. "But just from looking at the images we can see that this nearby world is extremely peculiar. At this point we do not understand what some of the features in the images are, much less how they originated." The asteroid was discovered on May 13, 1999, at a U.S. Air Force telescope in New Mexico that is part of the Lincoln Near Earth Asteroid Research Project, managed by the Lincoln Laboratories of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The discovery provided adequate notice for radar observations to be scheduled at Goldstone from July 18 to August 8 and at Arecibo from August 1-9 during the asteroid's close approach to 8.5 million kilometers (5.3 million miles), the equivalent of 22 Earth-Moon distances.
"Although Arecibo is the more sensitive telescope, Goldstone is more fully steerable, and we took advantage of the complementary capabilities of the two antennas," noted Benner. "The discovery of this object weeks before its closest approach was a stroke of luck," he said. "The asteroid won't come this close again for more than a thousand years."
Asteroid 1999 JM8 bears a striking resemblance to Toutatis, a similar-sized, slowly rotating object also studied in detail with radar, said Dr. Scott Hudson of Washington State University, who is an expert in using radar images to determine the shapes of asteroids.
"The fact that both these several-kilometer-wide asteroids are in extremely slow spin states suggests that slow rotators are fairly common among near-Earth asteroids," he said. "However, although collisions are thought to be the primary process that determines asteroid spin states, we don't know how the slow, complex states come about."
The radar imaging technique uses transmissions of sophisticated coded waveforms and computer determinations of how echoes are distributed in range and frequency, instead of their angular distribution, as in normal optical pictures. "Our finest resolution is 15 meters (49 feet) per pixel, which is finer than that obtained for any other asteroid, even for spacecraft" said Dr. Jean-Luc Margot, one of the team members from Arecibo Observatory. "To get that kind of resolution with an optical telescope, you'd need a mirror several hundred meters across. Radar certainly is the least expensive way of imaging Earth- approaching objects."
The images show impact craters with diameters as small as 100 meters (330 feet) -- about the length of a football field -- and a few as large as 1 kilometer (0.6 miles). "The density of craters suggest that the surface is geologically old, and is not simply a chip off of a parent asteroid," said Dr. Michael Nolan, a staff scientist at the Arecibo Observatory. "We also see a concavity that is about half as wide as the asteroid itself, but we're not sure yet whether or not it's an impact crater."
This is hardly the first time that radar has revealed a near-Earth asteroid with peculiar characteristics, said Dr. Steven Ostro of JPL, who has led dozens of asteroid radar experiments. Radar studies have revealed a stunning array of exotically shaped worlds with compositions ranging from solid metal to low-density carbonaceous rock and rotation periods ranging from 11 minutes to more than a week. "These are very, very strange places," he said. "I really envy the coming generations of space explorers who will visit them."
In addition to Benner, Hudson, Margot, Nolan and Ostro, the radar team included Drs. Jon D. Giorgini, Raymond F. Jurgens, Donald K. Yeomans and Martin A. Slade from JPL, and Donald B. Campbell from Cornell University, Ithaca, NY.
The radar observations were supported by NASA's Office of Space Science, Washington, DC. The Goldstone Solar System Radar is part of NASA's Deep Space Network. The Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico is part of the National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center, which is operated by the Cornell University under a cooperative agreement with the National Science Foundation and with support from NASA. JPL is a division of the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA.

Well here I am I'm trying to follow the isntructions here Cprogramming.com Tutorial: Setting up Code::Blocks and MINGW, A Free C and C++ Compiler, on Windows
And what it shows for code blocks looks nothing like what I have. Does this need to be updated? For a noob that has no idea what to do next since I can not follow the link.
Oh if this is in the wrong place please move it.

|The BB King All Star Band was in the house as they nearly always are here. While there can be some "blues" the music is mostly older Top 40. And while no one was dancing at this moment, the floor does get pretty full.
|The venue is more of a restaurant earlier in the evening but is more of a club later on! Cover $5.
|Also in Pointe Orlando is the Greek-themed restaurant turns into club Opa.
|The DJ booth was on auto-pilot during this visit, playing Dance.
|Napkins are strewn all over the floor and many of the females like to hang out on top of the tables! There were fortunately no Greek austerity-measure riots taking place! No cover.
|First visit to Ice Bar Orlando which consists of both Fire Lounge and Icebar.
|The adjacent Fire Lounge was pretty empty but I'm told it gets pretty crowded by midnight and Friday's "Siberian Nights" theme are a gathering place for the local Russian community.
|DJ Sher-Khan was playing music reminiscent of what gets played in The Groove. By that I mean a mix of Top 40, 80's, 90's, House, Hip Hop, all of it. No cover for Fire Lounge.
|OK, finally made it here for a review. Nothing else quite like the Frog!
|Normally associated with various cruise ship ports like Nassau, San Juan and Cozumel, Orlando now has one of its own Señor Frogs and it's exactly where it should be located, in the tourist district. The music is all Hip Hop and Latin.
|Crazy, crazy, crazy!
|No guys allowed on the stage!
|The place is 80% tourists and only 20% locals. Admission is $5 with local ID, $10 for everyone else!
|Quick visit to Dave & Busters across the street.
|It's more like a sports bar with music but no DJ or dance floor.
|And of course it's mainly a game room; kind of a Chuck E Cheese for adults! I've attended a couple of work-related functions here during the day when it's not crowded and the place is a lot of fun! No cover.
|Final stop of the night at Backstage Nightclub located in the Rosen Plaza Hotel.
|The live band Top Secret was performing to an empty dance floor when I arrived.
|But it was late and the band ended and DJ La Pause took over.
|The floor quickly filled up to the Top 40/Dance mix being played.

Bobby Valentine is public-safety director in the fine city of Stamford, Conn. Bobby Valentine is also an ESPN booth guy for MLB games. All of which is to say that Bobby Valentine will be commentating on the Angels/Rangers game in Arlington, Texas on Sunday night when Hurricane Irene stomps all over the fine city of Stamford, Conn.
Asked after the news conference about whether he would be in the city Sunday night during the hurricane, Valentine said: "That's a stupid question. I just changed my flight."
Valentine spent much of Friday in meetings discussing the emergency response to Hurricane Irene with city officials, recommending the city set up a Twitter account to provide residents with real-time updates on preparations and announcements. He did not return messages left Friday.
[Mayor Michael] Pavia said city officials will have a direct line to Valentine during the 8 p.m. game.
Oh thank goodness for that.

I completely agree with the OP, and would go further to say that Sublime Text 2 on iPad and Android is a natural fit and could easily be the number 1 editor on tablets. With growing transition to these kinds of devices, developers should not be shrugging them off. $9.99 seems reasonable when jumping across the PC/Tablet boundary, especially given that this is about average for advanced editors on iPad. I imagine apps in the Android marketplace are similarly priced. I am not impressed with the current text editing offerings in the app store, but the advantage for the ST2 team is that they have an established product out on desktop platforms that is already well known and obviously liked, and could easily pull-in customers at the same price point as other editors on the tablet app markets who don't offer free lite (or paid/demo Win/Mac/Linux) versions, and for which their potential customers must make a purchase based on screen captures, reviews, and faith alone. I am definitely willing to pay for Sublime Text 2 on the iPad. I already know what a great product it is.
iPad version any time soon?
It's just Jon. The fact that he supports three OS's is already impressive. It's no small task to port an application to iPad/Android, and I'd prefer Jon spend his time working on the desktop version. Because,well, there's a keyboard.
That is very impressive indeed! Well, there is always a bluetooth keyboard if necessary though…
Yeah, I bought a really nice ICS tablet - for my mother. The growing trend is grandmas and grandpas and compute illiterate people who generally hate OS's window managers.
Even if there was someone out there that designed a real nice keyboard that wasn't a rubbery mess and was easy to type in, you would still need to develop off of your device either through ssh of ftp to even test your code.
You can't run a LAMP stack or any interpreter that isn't severely hacked and gutted. The fact is the system software for these devices are plain crippled.
Anyone that suggests that they want to code on their tablet is really being naive. And they just don't understand that these tablets will always be marketed and designed exclusively for consumers.
Sure Joe Blow developer down the street might add his own stripped down interpreter that might just work enough to write a cute script or two. But a tablet is not a developer tool it is a consumer device.
If I catch a developer writing code on a tablet I will publicly laugh. I will literally point at you and have a hearty and genuine laugh at your expense.
And If I'm going to be spending significant time being mobile I'd rather take a UX31 or similar ultrabook with me.
There were many statements of this kind through the history of computing. "I estimate that there exists a world market for about five computers." or "I see no need for anyone to have more than 4 kilobytes of RAM.", just to (inaccurately) quote two of the most famous. I'm sure that the #1 reason people don't do coding on tablets is because there are no good apps to code on tablets. I'd definitely like to see one. And because of that, I'd gladly pay MORE than for the desktop version.
Have you ever used your tablet to connect via ssh to a remote server? Well, I did, and found that possibility pretty useful.
As for the keyboard thing, well - notice that desktop computers also don't have keyboards unless you buy one
Oh I'm not saying that server management isn't something that can't be done on a tablet (I even mention ssh). I'm a big fan of screen, bash, irssi, top and even use nano from time to time. Even some light editing on the server side for small incremental updates to code might be something you could do on the couch or in bed with your tablet. As a hardware device a tablet has potential to be very useful.
What I am saying is that the software for these devices, iOS and Android, are not designed for developing. And neither is the form factor. The system software I'll say again is severely crippled. They are appliances not workstations. Microsoft so far has been the only software developer that I know of that is interested in creating a full stack operating system that could be used on tablets. It might be a worthy bet that this type of hybrid system software will create a market for applications that allow creatives to develop enterprise projects on tablets.
But you are kidding yourself if you think using Android or iOS as they are today is going to provide a comparable environment to desktop software for developing. I don't propose to know what the future holds. If Windows 8 with metro turns out to be the direction both Android and iOS move to with respect to hybrid desktop/mobile software this current situation may change.
With this in mind, anyone thinking of porting Sublime Text with all of it's dependencies to crippled mobile devices as they are now is being idealistic to say the least. It's a bit like asking Jon to port Sublime Text to your new internet tv with keyboard. So yeah, I stand by my statement, if I catch someone using a tablet as a development platform I will have a hearty laugh at them.
EDIT: For the record, although the possibility for change exists, I still strongly believe both Google and Apple will not follow Microsoft in developing hybrid tablet/desktop software as generally speaking tablet consumers do not in fact care about coding or developing on their tablets.
I know you're trying to be clever but just a quick Google search turned up
Of course these are crippled and not the only dependencies Sublime has.
But, that was the point I made.
As for Jon not having time, I don't know what his schedule is like so I won't comment on that.
I'm sure if he decided to delve into the mobile market he definitely could.
And I'd bet it would be a pretty neat little niche editor.
But not something I and probably most serious developers would actually use to program.
I looked at the market (and my wallet) a few months ago, and after some soul-searching decided to buy the cheapest netbook with the longest battery life I could find. My netbook is fairly portable (about twice the weight of an iPad, but it does come with a keyboard) and runs Sublime perfectly — which is what I got it for.
For me, Sublime is the killer app. I will not use a platform that doesn't support it, because otherwise I'd spend my days writing wistful threads about tablet support.
It's no sublime but I recently found this:
play.google.com/store/apps/deta … idedit.pro
Works pretty well when I'm out of town with the wife and the boss calls with a "urgent site breaking bug" that turns out to be a typo.
I believe Sublime will likely run on Microsofts new Surface tablet since it runs Windows 8 but I'm just speculating of course.
I also believe IOS actually runs on x86 just fine but for some reason Apple hasn't decided to combine code bases but maybe this new Surface will incentivize Apple to allow desktop applications on Ipads. I don't know again, i'm just guessing here, so we'll see what happens in the coming months.
Windows 8 isn't going to be a sure-fire solution to handling Sublime Text, as the ARM version will not support the "classic" environment that allows you to run desktop applications that weren't written with Microsoft's new fancy crap.
When it comes to running Sublime Text on other OSes aside from the current ones, that IS quite the undertaking. The fact that it runs on OS X, Windows, and Linux is pretty fantastic, especially with how fast it performs on all of those platforms. The high performance indicates that Sublime Text must be coded in a very fast, modular manner that allows for efficient porting between operating systems.
This is why some open source projects bring on people to maintain a specific platform version of the software (like VLC), but this also poses a problem of consistent support across such platforms (again, VLC ran into this problem when they lost some OS X developers and couldn't quickly build the x86_64 versions of VLC for a small time).
This isn't open source, but it would be interesting if a completely torn-apart version of Sublime Text could be released in source code to see if people could make good ports to iOS, Android, etc. And evaluate the possibility of its existence on those platforms.
I'm not really asking for this, just proposing an interesting idea. I find it hard to ask for more when Sublime Text is already kicking a good amount of ass.
Actually I would get tons of use out of an iPad version of Sublime Text. It would be an absolute must that it was capable of operating via a remote connection to my development folder. All of my current projects relate to coding web-based applications for tablets. If I were able to remotely edit a Javascript file located on my development server, and for my edits to save back to the server, this would be a huge convenience for me. While I do my heavy coding on the PC, there's always this phase of switching over to the iPad to test and tweak–and frankly, any opportunity to step away from the PC and kick back with the iPad (by the pool, maybe out in the garage) really helps get the creative juices flowing. It would be nice to turn that inspiration in to code! I'm sure there's a way to instantiate such a connection from the iPad to a desktop PC.
Anyway, seeing how the future is shaping up, multi-device development environments are going to represent a significant market. With the platform I'm working on at the moment, I have the ability to read consolidated debug messages on my iPad coming from a range of distributed applications and devices on a network–it's very cool. With the rise of distributed applications, it is not uncommon to both test and develop simultaneously on a PC, one or more tablets, smartphones, etc… I'm in dire need of a more fluid mechanism for distributed application development. A tablet-based editor with connectedness to a networked server location would be clutch.
I use my iPad for web development all the time. Like editing XML, HTML, CSS and my Python files for Django apps. Very often I'm out between meetings, and I get a lot done using my iPad. There's a whole lot going on in Sublime Text, so I don't imagine that would be an easy port at all, and getting all the dependencies in place, eek! But it sure would be a good fit for iPad. You can already do quite a bit using CodeAnywhere, Koder and Markup. Being able to use the familiar and pleasant Sublime Text interface on iPad would be a dream come true. A home away from home. I think for now it could work great for web developers on iPad. Desktop development… That's a tough one. Besides the software dependencies, these tablets need more oomf. But I really do think it would be a feasible product for Jon to make now already. It's a big market. Even if it started out just supporting the most popular web technologies and some of the plugins that won't make the tablet explode. That would cover a sizable market. I'd buy it for sure. Just a thought.
There was an interesting blog post from this developer who was using his iPad for development:
yieldthought.com/post/1223928203 … or-an-ipad
yieldthought.com/post/3185705069 … year-later
My impression is that this ( an iPad version ) won't happen any time soon – if at all
In the meantime, have you had a look at http://omz-software.com/pythonista/? Looks like it is the "best" you can get for the time being.
Just my 0.02.

Holy crap that's a cool looking app. (Now there's a pullquote.)
That's will be good.
See Jon response here: ARM build?
[quote="C0D312"]Hmmm… that has been stressful. I can't decide which sarcastic comment to leave on this thread. So I'll just leave them all.
- Yeah, Jon! Why don't you just press that "build iPad app" button to launch a free iPad app?
- I don't know…Make-my-iPad-app-for-me-omatics are pretty expensive this time of the year.
- Like totally, this should totally happen. And it HAS to be free, or it's a deal-breaker.
- Oh please! Also, can you make it $-10 so that when I buy it, you actually pay ME?
- Pshhh! No one uses iPads anymore. Wave your wand and make me a free android tablet app.
P.S. Feel free to vote. Categories: more creative, most sarcastic, and most likable.[/quote]
As much amusement as I found from your post - there has to be a compromise to pricing on mobile platforms - as many software titles that cross from the desktop to mobile devices do in fact come with a price cut - primarily due to the limitation of features that devs can add to them relative to the desktop counterparts.
Coda runs $75-$100 for the desktop version. Diet Coda runs $20 for the iPad version.
There are significant differences between what the full featured desktop version and the iPad version can do. I would suspect there to be limitations for Sublime compared to the desktop version if it were ported to the iPad as well.
If the dev(s) here could in fact migrate Sublime 100% (as is) to iOS then I would by all means pay the price they set to get a copy of it. But if they begin porting it and find limitations that Apple has set in place that restrict various functionality that the desktop User expects - then I would expect the price point to be lower relative to what has been eliminated for each platform.
One more arguement - not sure to which side of the coin this caters to - but the lower cost of downlaodable software also lends itself to the fact that there is zero overhead for distribution. Including Sublime. They are not having to burn CDs/DVDs - package them and ship them. So when I walked into an electronics store in the 1980s and 1990s to buy some software for $50-$100 per copy - I was paying for all the effort going into development - but I was also paying for the box - the graphics on the box - the instruction manual printing cost - the plastic - the employee to put the box on the shelf - the cost of distribution (the gas for the truck to haul it to the store) and on and on.
I maintain a couple of Websites - traffic is much lower than here - so my cost is rather cheap - but even semi-higher volume Sites like this aren't much more expensive. After the development is done - a final copy is uploaded to a server and sits there. When someone downloads (or purchases) Sublime - the server feeds a copy of the file sitting on the server to the User - Zero overhead of products. Half of a percent of a penny for bandwidth to download the file.
Point is that we can sit here and argue both sides of this all day long - but pricing for "mobile" apps is significantly cheaper on average for a many reasons. Not simply beacause you can load it onto an iPad.
Sorry that I'm late to the party.
I would definitely use an ipad sublime text. I can envision a neat setup with the pad on an arm over my bed, bluetooth keyboard in lap, ssh into my desktop running my server and edit the code from the tablet. My debug interface runs in the browser, so that still works fine.
