We Don't Need Roads Where We're Going…
Hello fans! I'm your guide, Bobby Fisher and this…is…THE Wrestling Time Machine! So on today's post, we'll be talking about November of 1996. I AM going to try to be more active on our eponymous website. So…November of 1996 was an interesting time for both of the Big Two.

Q: when is a pessimistic lock released in rails? Assuming I'm doing something like this (from the Active Record Querying guide)
Item.transaction do
  i = Item.first(:lock => true)
  i.name = 'Jones'
  i.save
end

Is the lock automatically released at the end of the transaction? I've looked at the Active Query guide and the ActiveRecord::Locking::Pessimistic docs, and couldn't find where it explicitly says where the lock is released.

A: Yes, the lock automatically released at the end of the transaction because this kind of lock is applicable to transactions only. It does not make sense to lock the record this way (pessimistic lock) outside the transaction.
Pessimistic locks are enforced on DB level.
Below is a description with examples for mysql:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/innodb-lock-modes.html

A: Locking is not a function of rails, it is just adding the lock statement to the query, which will vary depending on the database that you are using.  Pessimistic Locking takes a "pessimistic" view in thinking that every query is subject to corruption.  So it is going to lock selected rows until you are finished with the transaction.  so Lock > query > unlock.  While these are fairly consistent database to database, it might be good to read up on the database documentation that you using for any database-specific things you should know.
Here is a good thread on optimistic vs. pessimistic locking that explains it better than I can.  Optimistic vs. Pessimistic locking

A: I acknowledged the problem with pessimistic lock within transaction during rspec tests.
For some reason on different systems (I found this because of CI failed to run spec) record is still locked and cannot be fetched.
So code and rspec example are below.
class FooBar
  def foo
    Model.with_lock do
      model.update(bar: "baz")
    end
  end
end

red example
it "updates with lock" do
  expect { Foobar.foo }.to change { model.reload.bar }.to("baz")
end

but correct green example should look like this
it "updates with lock" do
  Foobar.foo
  expect(model.reload.bar).to eq("baz")
end

A: I believe you'll want an "ensure" block to be certain the lock is released.
http://ruby-doc.org/core/classes/Mutex.src/M000916.html has:
  def synchronize
    lock
    begin
      yield
    ensure
      unlock
    end
  end

http://yehudakatz.com/2010/02/07/the-building-blocks-of-ruby/ seems to suggest, however, that the block structure of that method will automatically unlock.

Dassault Systèmes acquires Simpack
July 22, 2014 by Manufacturing AUTOMATION
July 22, 2014 – Dassault Systèmes has announced the acquisition of Simpack, a Munich, Germany-based provider of multi-body simulation technologies and solutions.
With this acquisition, Dassault Systèmes is expanding its Simulia realistic multiphysics simulation technology portfolio to include multi-body mechatronic systems, from virtual concept validation to the real-time experience. Simpack has more than 130 customers in the energy, automotive and rail industries, including Alstom, Bombardier, BMW, Daimler, Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, MAN, and Vestas. The amount of the transaction was not disclosed.
"Today's acquisition of Simpack, part of a larger, ongoing strategy to continually expand the 3Dexperience platform, enables a complete virtual and real product experience like never before," said Bernard Charlès, president and CEO, Dassault Systèmes. "Consumers expect automobiles, aircraft and nearly all products to continually get smarter, safer, faster, quieter and more efficient. This means companies need to do more than engineer everything coming together — such as controls, movement, bending and noise. They need to experience their product as they create it."
Dassault Systèmes entered into a definitive acquisition agreement with Simpack whereby Dassault Systèmes acquired the company in an all-cash transaction. This transaction was completed on July 10, 2014.

Merchandising your products is one of the key reasons why exhibitors exhibit. No matter the size or nature of your products, Skyline has elegant, flexible solutions to fit your every need.
Frame your products with brand. As much as the product itself, buyers are buying into you – who you are, what you stand for, the trust you provide and the value you offer. Promote products with graphics that proudly represent your brand.
Private shows, meetings or events can be an effective way to show your sales network what's new, train them with demonstrations, and show them how to position and sell your products.
Your products probably fall within that range. Showcasing them, whatever they are, can be important to the success of your show. Design your exhibit to highlight products AND make it easy for staffers to engage, demo and sell.
Lighting warms an exhibit and can bring greater attention to products. There are various lighting systems available and the right one largely depends on the nature of your products. Design with lighting in mind, not simply as an add on.
A retail-like space within an exhibit can be a great place for buyers to easily demo various products. Depending on the nature of your product, the show may be the best time to close sales and take orders.
Depending on your show plans, renting an exhibit may be a flexible option. There's no compromise in look or product showcasing ability, but you have opportunity to change designs, size or needs per specific show.

A rounded, antiqued gold picture frame with a subtle patina wash. The elegant raised patterns and smooth satiny finish make this genuine wood frame perfect as a document frame or to accent art and photography of all kinds.

Added this as an outer frame on an existing framed artwork The result was beautiful!
Excellent frames, every every bit of what you looking for.
I've been a customer for many years and and happy I found you again. This frame was perfect and I couldn't be happier not only with the color and design, but the outstanding value.
Excellent craftsmanship! Will continue buying from picturefame.com as the price is right!
I'm impressed with the quality of this frame (I ordered 3). Very pleased with the hardware and the non-glare plexi-glass as well. In summary, very good value for the money. Will definitely order from pictureframes.com again.
Well made, what I ordered. I do wish I'd ordered a wider frame but that is on me.
Price, quality style looked great with my art!
It best suits and compliments the painting.
Traditional style and frame colors highlight oil painting.
ITS VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT A NEEDED TO MATCH UP.
Good Setting for a pair of prints I purchased in England some time ago. Dealt with you folks for many years and have never had a problem. Good product; good quality work and perfect sizing.
It closely resembled and complimented frames in my house.
The elegance of the finish and profile compliments my artwork.
Beautiful frame...and at a great price!
the style went with our picture we are going to place in it.
Great frame at a great price... and the customer service is the best, bar none!
I paint marines mostly so a lot of blue. The gold looks nice against the blue.
It also looks a little like a rope which looks nautical.
BEST ANSWER: Hello! Thank you for contacting us! We apologize for the oversight with having two depths listed with the frame. The actual depth of the frame is 3/8". We are making the correction to the website to reflect the correct depth of 3/8". If you have any additional questions, please let me know. Happy Framing!
is the uv protective acrylic non reflective?
BEST ANSWER: Hello Francis! Thank you for your inquiry. The UV Protectant acrylic is not non reflective, but instead protects the image from the sunlight. Our Non Glare Acrylic is available and serves the purpose of anti glare only. At this time, we do not have an acrylic that serves dual purposes. If you have any further questions, please let us know. Have a great day!
In the detail section of the description it has 2 different measurements for the width of the frame. 1 1/4 and 2 1/2. Which is correct?
BEST ANSWER: We apologize that the width of the frame was not properly displayed. The frame has a width of 1 3/16". I will have our web team make the correct to the website. Thanks.
How does a liner affect the size of the opening? If I order an 8x10 frame with a linen liner, does the opening become smaller. If so, by how much?

Family contains general posts about my family. You will find that I keep details down to a minimum as I consider this information rather personal. Some of my older posts may contain sensitive information, but in recent years I have refrained from including too much detail about my family to respect their privacy.
For those curious, my family do know that I have a blog, but they only read a few posts when they initially discovered it (or rather, bothered to actually look! – they had known for a while that I had one). I do, however, write frequently about my brother Brandon.


Some years ago, the folks at TargetWorkz published a a handy set of plans for a 48-inch tall self-supporting target stand. This makes a great do-it-yourself project. To create a sturdy, self-supporting target frame, all you need are some 2x4s, 1x2x48 furring strips, plus fasteners. The target holder, which supports an 18×24 inch cardboard target backer, separates from the base for easy transport.
If you like this kind of project, but want to build a frame that is taller, yet can break down into sections, we also have an article showing you how to build a nice frame with inexpensive ABS or PVC tubing. VIEW ABS/PVC Tubing Target Frame Plans.

I placed two additional tees in one of the 20" portions of base. I insert the uprights in them for storage when not in use. This way I don't forget them when packing to go to the range.

Former Faith No More Singer Chuck Mosley Passes
Posted on 13 November, 2017, 10:31 pm EST by CelebrityAccess Staff Writers Contact Me
Chuck Mosley, best known as the lead singer for the California alt-rock Faith No More, died on Thursday. He was 57.
A statement released by his family announcing his death said:
"After a long period of sobriety, Charles Henry Mosley III lost his life, on November 9th, 2017, due to the disease of addiction. We're sharing the manner in which he passed, in the hopes that it might serve as a warning or wake up call or beacon to anyone else struggling to fight for sobriety. He is survived by long-term partner Pip Logan, two daughters, Erica and Sophie and his grandson Wolfgang Logan Mosley. The family will be accepting donations for funeral expenses. Details to follow when arranged."
Mosley fronted for Faith No More on the band's first two albums — their 1985 debut "We Care A Lot" and their first major label release, 1989's "The Real Thing" but was fired from the band due to increasingly erratic behavior that included allegedly punching founding member Billy Gould on stage.
Mosley also performed with Bad Brains and founded the funk metal band Cement, which released a pair of albums before parting ways.
Starting in 2014, Mosley began re-appearing with Faith No More but revealed that he was facing financial challenges and along with his family, was on the verge of eviction.
"The shocking truth is, that I'm not rich. We struggle every day, just like most everybody, more, right now, worse than ever, in a long time. I'm ashamed for being in this condition. Our band, VUA, has had to put off trying to tour or play any shows. We're starting to record new stuff, but even that is suffering at the hands of my family's financial situation," he told Blabbermouth in a 2014 interview.
In a statement released after Mosley's passing, his former Faith No More bandmates wrote: "It's with a heavy, heavy heart we acknowledge the passing of our friend and bandmate, Chuck Mosley. He was a reckless and caterwauling force of energy who delivered with conviction and helped set us on a track of uniqueness and originality that would not have developed the way it had had he not been a part. How fortunate we are to have been able to perform with him last year in a reunion style when we re-released our very first record. His enthusiasm, his sense of humor, his style and his bravado will be missed by so many. We were a family, an odd and dysfunctional family, and we'll be forever grateful for the time we shared with Chuck."

On Lionel Richie's third solo album, the ex-Commodore merges different genres into the glossy R&B sound he became known for. Though a departure from the straight-ahead soul of 1983's Can't Slow Down, songs like the pondering "Say You, Say Me" and the festive "Dancing on the Ceiling" have become bonafide classics in the mainstream pop canon. Some 30 years later, this album can be seen as a victory lap, one in which Richie fully embraces his pop stardom and proves that the funk and soul sounds of his previous releases were clearly a thing of the past.

Purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea) contains substances which stimulate the body's immune system.
Linnaeus gave the plant the scientific name Rudbeckia purpurea, to honour Olof Rudbeck – his predecessor in the post of professor of medicine. But nowadays purple coneflower bears the scientific name Echinacea purpurea. The plant originates in North America but was brought to Europe during the latter part of the 17th century. It was cultivated as early as 1699 in the botanical gardens at the University of Oxford in England.
In Linnaeus' time the purple coneflower was not known to have medicinal effects but was cultivated as an ornamental plant. A physician in Nebraska in the USA learnt from Indians in 1871 that the plant could be crushed and used on open sores. He recommended it as a means of cleansing the blood as well as against eczema, haemorrhoids, malaria, migraine, snake bites and rheumatism. Between 1885 and 1935 the plant was used against bacterial infections but that was discontinued with the discovery of sulfonamide – a synthetic antibiotic. In Germany, much work was carried out on the plant during the period 1940–1955 where it was found that it was not as effective killing bacteria as had at first been believed and during the same time penicillin was beginning to be used widely.
Recent research has shown that the purple coneflower has interesting medicinal effects, as does its relative blacksamson, Echinacea angustifolia. Extracts from these plants are considered to stimulate the immune defence and are therefore recommended for treating mildly infectious diseases as well as common colds.
Preparations such as these are now big sellers on the market of herbal remedies and research is still continuing on their effects. They have been shown to have local bactericidal effects and speed up the healing process of sores that are hard to treat, all of which motivates the Indians' use of the plant. There have also been many clinical trials that have shown that extract of echinacea probably has a positive effect on the immune defence system and therefore should be useful against colds and similar problems.

Radiators Plus first opened its doors at the end of 2005. We started off in a run down old steelworks that had a great history and was in an excellent location in Launceston. We painted the building inside and out modifying it to meet our requirements and Radiators Plus was open for business.
Prior to this, Andrew had worked for 13 years in the radiator industry managing K & J Radiators Tasmanian branch. We supplied cores to the radiator industry throughout Tasmania.
Being a hands on sort of bloke and having built cars all his life, Andrew had the passion and drive to start his own radiator shop, happy to service normal brass/copper radiators from cleanouts to re-cores, but also building custom aluminium radiators.
From his experience Andrew could see that aluminium radiators were here to stay. Doing a course in TIG welding and fabrication. This has of course led to a range of other custom products from overflow/expansion bottles, oil catch cans and fuel tanks etc. As soon as we opened the doors we pushed the custom side of the business as a point of difference from other radiator shops.
At Radiators Plus, our 'core' business is radiators. We replace, re-core, repair and manufacture complete radiators for cars, trucks and industrial applications. The services we provide has also led to work with intercoolers, both water-to-air, front and top mount. Oil coolers (both transmission and engine) for cars and trucks.
With all that going on and our desire to branch out into auto electrical, we had outgrown our old place. Four years ago we purchased land to build a purpose-built radiator and auto electrical shop at 6 Shamrock Street, South Launceston. That is where we are today.
For all your radiators, auto electrical and air conditioning needs in Launceston, call Radiators Plus.
Radiators Plus, your one stop shop.

Sharing Food and Moments with Loved Ones.
A region of Northern Europe that includes countries of Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland. Home to Hygge and snow-covered caps, the Northern Lights and of course, Lego. But what about food?
Let's start with a drink. In Iceland, it's all about Coca Cola – with more consumed per capita than any other country, you'll always find someone to 'Share a Coke' with. If you fancy something alcoholic then try 'brännvin', a liquor distilled from fermented grain or potatoes. In other words, Vodka. Vodka and Coke it is then?
For the more traditional Scandinavian's it's still all about a warming cup or glass of Glogg.
And to eat. In Scandinavia you can expect to enjoy sharing food in the form of a Smörgåsbord. A selection of small dishes, both warm and cold, starting with fish, moving on to cold meats, warm dishes and to finish, cheese. Popular dishes include, pickled herring served with rye and crispbread, beetroot and apple salad, meatballs, pâtés, and different types of cured and smoked salmon.
Delicious salmon, pickles and rye bread served on wooden boards and hand painted plates.
A Smörgåsbord is a social affair and can take hours to get through, picking away as new dishes are served on pretty hand painted plates and large platters.
What about life at home? Let's hit the brakes here. Traditions in Scandinavia are enough to make us Brits green with envy. Pregnant women in Finland get a state-provided starter kit, whilst in Sweden, Dads are allowed two months paternity leave – the most generous paternity leave in the world. In Denmark, offices rarely stay open after 5 p.m. and working at weekends is unheard of. This is the time that families eat together! It's no wonder Copenhagen is the world's happiest country!
An island nation in the Pacific Ocean packed with cities, palaces, national parks and many stunning shrines and temples to explore. It's a country I get excited to visit every single time. And the food, oh – the food is to die for.
It's all about Sushi in Japan and as one of my favourite things to eat, I can tell you nothing beats it, as much as we can try in the UK.
There is so much choice when it comes to Sushi in Japan, much more than Crab Handrolls and crispy Tempura that grace those conveyer belts in the UK. Prepared before your very eyes, eating in Japan is an experience and sharing food together is very much part of the culture. Piles of Sashimi, Yakatori and Udon are served in black ceramic bowls upon lacquer trays with chopsticks, of course; you'll be spoilt for choice. Rice is also a popular dish in Japan.
Home life is very different in Japan than Scandinavia. The Japanese very rarely eat meals together. With such a huge population, accommodation is small and compact – there is little room to entertain and so most eat out in one of the thousands of restaurants and bars.
With such a shortage of physical personal space, I find it incredible that the Japanese manage to switch off, you'll often spot someone reading a book or sleeping, even though they are surrounded by people and don't be surprised to see businessmen in their cars sleeping too! A much faster pace of life than those in Scandinavia!
Which would suit your lifestyle? The city streets of Tokyo or the mountains of Norway?
The city streets of Tokyo?
Or the mountains of Scandiavia?

Sai Gon Beer may not survive equitisation
Update: April, 23/2015 - 09:18
Sai Gon Beer is estimated to have a 40 per cent market share. — Photo vir
HCM CITY (VNS) — The Government wants to speed up divestment of its stake in several companies including the Sai Gon Beer-Alcohol-Beverage Joint Stock Corporation (Sabeco), maker of Sai Gon Beer, whose chairman hopes to see a domestic buyer so that the iconic brand survives.
"The Government should sell its shares in Sabeco as soon as possible to stop its decline," Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper quoted Phan Dang Tuat, the chairman, as saying.
Sabeco, equitised in 2007 but still 90 per cent owned by the State, worked in a very cumbersome manner like a typical public company, he said to explain his decline fears.
"We have tortuous procedures and can't pay salaries of US$3,000 – 5,000 per month to get good human resources like private or foreign companies."
The Ministry of Industry and Trade has set up a task force to sell a 54 per cent stake within this year and the rest after 2018.
The share is likely to be priced at VND70,000 ($3.3), the same as the equitisation price, which will result in $1 billion being raised.
"The real value of Sabeco is in its huge market, and I know that a lot of foreign beer companies would like to buy Sabeco because of this," Tuat said.
He hoped that a domestic company would buy Sabeco and keep the Sai Gon brand name.
"Foreign beer companies might take advantage of Sabeco's market coverage to develop their own brands rather than the Sai Gon brand.
"The Bia Sai Gon brand name will disappear after a time because it dominates the medium market segment with low profits. Investors would like to develop their own more profitable brands."
Sai Gon Beer is estimated to have a 40 per cent market share but only 30 per cent by value. — VNS


Aadhar is now steadily going mainstream. According to the news on Hindu, Government has launched Saral Money, a type of a Debit Card, that will enable user to have a Bank account instantly based on users Aadhar Card details. The KYC norms mandated by Government, which essentially verifies the identity of an individual, is done instantly due to the usage of Aadhar card.
The process for acquiring Saral Money debit card has also been made extremely simple – These cards are available at bank counters or even at a grocery shop near you.
Saral Money has been launched in collaboration with UIDAI and five large banks Axis Bank, HDFC Bank, ICICI, Indian Overseas Bank and the State Bank of India. The accounts are issues using VISA card network, which acts a backbone for Saral Money.
Saral Card can be acquired by paying a nominal fee and the Aadhar card holder will be able to use the Saral Money card like any other ATM or Debit card.
Hindu article also mentions that primary goal for launching Saral money is to enable Government bodies and other institutions to send money to anyone using only their Aadhar number, irrespective of whether the individual has a bank account or not. Once the money is sent to beneficiary on Saral card, he can withdraw the amount from any ATM or any Micro ATM using biometric authentication provided by Aadhar.
There is no doubt that initiatives like Saral Money are going to go a long way in bringing financial inclusion to masses, especially in rural areas. Additionally, it will help tremendously in cutting down the middlemen when it comes to financial transactions, and thereby greatly reducing corruption.
What Government really needs to concentrate right now though is to increase penetration of Aadhar cards. Even today, getting an appointment for procuring Aadhar card is a major hassle. And, even after one has applied, it takes months or in some cases years to actually get the card in your hand.

"Hey Dean, how did the test go?" Carny Weston walked over to Dean Youngwood, giving him a fist bump as a greeting, and falling in next to him as Dean walked to his car. The sidewalk was full of pedestrians in a hurry to get lunch. The noon whistle had blown only a minute before Dean had exited Precinct Four after taking his test. He'd come dressed for the weather, and Dean was thankful for his bit of preparation. The snow was coming down thick and slushy, sticking to anything it landed on. The weather station had promised wet snow and the station had got it right. Dean smiled at Carny a little wistfully, then stuck his hands in his jacket pockets.
"You know, I think I did pretty good. But…," he paused and Carny's face fell. His blonde beard was already festooned with fat flakes that were threatening to turn his whiskers into an ice sculpture. Carny's blue and black checked hunting jacket was doing much better, the snow giving Carny the look of a man with a completely out of control dandruff problem. His shoulder length blonde hair combined with his beard made him look like a modern viking.
Dean by contrast to Carny's appearance, had short black hair irregularly cut, a testament to 'don't do this at home in a mirror', and dark brown eyes that almost looked black. He'd put on weight since his days in the Canadian Air Force, and had a slight gut. His swarthy skin made him look piratical, but in fact Dean was a full-blooded Cree. He wore a pair of thick blue denim work pants, and a matching blue coat to protect him from the cold. His last name, Youngwood, was his adopted parents name. He chose it for his own despite some protests by fellow Cree.
"Aw man that s…," Carny started to say, but Dean pulled a piece of yellow paper out of his jean pocket and held it in front of Carny's nose.
"I think they believed so too, because they gave me this little piece of paper." Dean smiled as Carny whooped and enveloped him in a bear hug.
"Way to go, man! Way. To. Go!"
He ceased hollering as people around them stopped and stared at the exuberant spectacle. Carny put Dean back on the ground and the two continued their walk back towards Carny's pickup. When they reached the battered green truck, Dean glanced at Carny as he opend the passenger door, "How about lunch on me? I passed the exam, I think we should celebrate at 'The Shake Shack'. I haven't had a artery-clogging hamburger and fries for a couple weeks."
Carny laughed, and opened the driver's door.
"Sounds great! how 'bout we stop by Tim Horton's afterwards to get a coffee and donut as dessert?"
Dean grimaced. "I'd love to, but I think I'll pass on that. I can only handle so much decadence."
"Wimp."
"Dammit, it's no fun if you don't insult back. Where do you get off being agreeable?"
"The same place you get off by trying to start something."
Carny laughed again and pressed the start button on the dashboard. The vehicle rumbled as the engine refused to start, then caught with a roar. Dean settled back in his seat as Carny wheeled the vehicle out of the parking lot, and into lunch-hour traffic.
While they slowly worked their way towards their destination, Carny asked Dean, "So where are you going to hang your shingle?"
Dean stared forward out the windshield, watching the fat flakes of snow descend on the barely moving vehicles.
"I was thinking up around Shannon Park. The area is old and poor, but a lot of decent sorts there. I could probably get by."
Carny looked over at Dean as though Dean had sprouted a second head.
"You're nuts, you know that? I understand wanting to help people, but first you gotta get on your own feet. Helping people is good, but if you can't keep a roof over your head, how you gonna help someone else?"
Dean shrugged, then looked over at Carny.
"You blew big holes in that idea. Yeah, I'd like to help out that way. Lots of folks could use a little help to solve problems. Hell, maybe solving the problems would fix something." He sighed and turned back to watch the traffic in front of them. "But you're right. If I can't keep a place open, I don't do anyone any good." He turned his head towards Carny again. "So what would be your plan?"
Carny shrugged, then replied, "What about joining a detective agency for a bit. Get a name, take care of a few cases. Hunt down a few bail jumpers. Whatever. An agency would get your feet wet for a regular paycheck, and getcha experience without worrying about rent."
Dean listened quietly. The traffic began moving once more and the two lapsed into silence for the three minute drive over to 'The Shake Shack'.
After thy sat down with their food, Dean took a bite out of his burger.
"You're angling for me to work with your cousin, aren't you?"
Carny smiled and took a hefty swig from the straw in his drink.
"See? That's why you're the detective. You can figure things out."
Dean shook his head. "I know you think your cousin's a good guy, Carny, but I'm not sure he'd be the best one to work for starting out. I mean, he's a skip-tracer, not a private investigator."
"That's why he's perfect to work with. He's been there, done that, and can give you pointers into how to use your newfound legal license the best way possible. It's a steady paycheck, and you help by getting bad people off the streets."
"And I have to track down people who's only crime was that they can't pay on their car, and I have to take it away, and they lost their job because they can't get to work to pay bills and help their families."
Carny's face drooped. Dean figured he'd tried to be helpful. Carny was always trying to look out for friends. He and Dean had spent a hitch in the Canadian Air Force for four years as mechanics working on the old F-22 Raptors that had survived The Change. They'd gotten along and worked well together. Then became in-laws when Carny had married Dean's adopted sister Carol. In the three years they'd been married, Carol had two pairs of twins. The first pair were girls, and the second were boys.
Dean shook his head. then took another bite from the burger.
"Say I join your cousin, do you get anything for referring me?"
"No, I just thought he'd be a good place to start."
Dean nodded. "Okay. I'll go see him. No promises. I'm still not certain that I want to do this, but you're right, I have to start somewhere."
"Cool! I'll drive you…"
"Ease up Carny, I'll drive over this afternoon. You need to get back to work, Carol's probably going crazy with four crazed munchkins running around."
Carny set his drink down and grabbed at his potato wedges, stuffing two in his mouth. he chewed, then swallowed.
"She probably is, eh? Carol's a great mom. Though she's got a temper."
Dean shrugged. "Well, you would too with four kids in diapers and needing constant supervision. I bet she's exhausted by the time you get home."
"Yeah, she is." He turned to look at Dean. "Speaking of that, wanna come by and spend time with your nieces and nephews? I could take Carol out on the town, maybe a movie, eh?"
Dean chuckled. "Okay, okay. I get it. When do you want me by?"
"How about five-thirty? I'll be home by then and you can show up. the kids'll love seeing you."
"Yeah, I bet. My back's still sore from the last time they loved seeing me."
Carny chuckled and finished off the last potato wedge.
"You adore them as much as they adore you. Admit it for once."
Dean shrugged, smiling. "What, and ruin a streak?"
Previous Previous post: National Novel Writing Month – Brandished Destiny – Part 8


July 2015 was another busy market month here in Southern Georgian Bay, with 253 sales in our area, having a value in excess of $86 Million; the second highest month in number of residential sales and dollar volume this year. (Last month was the only 2015 month with higher numbers with sales of 275 and dollar volume of $89+ Million.) Again this month, the number of new listings fell substantially creating very tight market conditions in most areas. There were once again 52 condo sales in July 2015 in our area (same number as in June 2015), tied for the highest number we have seen in any month this year, with a dollar volume in excess of $13 Million.
The year-to-date sales to listing ratio sits at 61% which is firmly in Sellers' market territory. Having said that, properties that are priced over market value are languishing on the market as Buyers today are sophisticated and not willing to buy at any price, if it doesn't make good financial sense.
With the exception of the under $199,999 price range, sales are up in all price bands reported, so this has been a great summer for Sellers so far but challenging for Buyers who have to act quickly for the best choices. The risk is that Buyers are so frustrated, they over-pay and it's an important reminder to exercise caution and not get carried away.
For some Sellers, many think they can play the market and ask any price but this is simply not true. It is a wonderful time to sell – but – you still need to price to the market and present your home in the best light and condition. It's tricky for both Buyers and Sellers to understand and navigate this type of market and it's more important than ever to have sound, professional advice. I'm always here to help.

Florida begins withholding money for Alachua school board salaries over mask mandate
Gershon Harrell
Florida Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran announced late Monday that the Florida Department of Education has begun to withhold money for the monthly salaries of four Alachua County School Board members.
The four affected board members — Leanetta McNealy, Tina Certain, Robert Hyatt and Gunnar Paulson — voted in favor of a school mask mandate and will have a combined $13,429 withheld each month until the district complies with the Board of Education's order.
However, school board members are not paid directly by the state Board of Education. They are paid by the local school district, as all district employees are.
"Right now, there is no plan to stop paying these school board members because we have other options available to us," said Jackie Johnson, district spokeswoman, on Tuesday.
Federal officials have authorized use of federal pandemic relief funds to replace the state shortfall. The Alachua County Commission has expressed interest in covering the loss.
Johnson said the district has had offers from local residents and people across the globe to pitch in. "We don't expect that will be necessary," she said with a laugh.
Some parents object:Siblings sent home from Alachua County schools for not wearing masks; dad calls it a 'power grab'
Regardless, this also would not impact Mildred Russell, the new School Board member who was appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis to the District 2 seat Aug. 18.
Broward County also will have money for its school board members' salaries withheld.
On Aug. 3, Alachua County Public Schools issued a two-week mask mandate — that was later extended to eight weeks — due to the increase of COVID-19 cases in the community.
Parents can exempt their kids from wearing a mask by signing a mask opt-out form, however, the form has to be signed by a licensed medical professional. Parents also can fill out the Hope Scholarship, which allows to them to send their kids to a private school or a school outside of the district.
The state Board of Education argues that by ACPS issuing universal masking and needing the signature of a licensed medical professional to opt out it is in violation of the Florida Department of Health's emergency rule issued Aug. 6.
Alachua County schools officials, however, has said through numerous letters to state education leaders that they believe they are following rules by trying to provide a safe learning environment for students.
Last Friday, Circuit Judge John Cooper passed a judgment blocking the governor's ban on mandatory masking in schools, stating that it was an overreach of his power. DeSantis said he would appeal the decision.
Superintendent Carlee Simon said she is "troubled by the state's action."
"Our School Board members made a courageous decision to protect the health and lives of students, staff and the people of this community, and a court has already ruled they had the legal right to do so. They deserve praise not penalties," Simon said.
Board Member Tina Certain said it is perplexing how a public health crisis has become a political issue.
"They're (the governor and the commissioner) injuring students, the health of students and our staff by trying to penalize us financially," Certain said.
Simon also said they have begun working with other districts in order to take legal action.
Florida Democratic Party Chairman Manny Diaz has called on DeSantis and Corcoran to immediately release of the school board members' salaries.
"He is abusing his the power he wields to enforce a dangerous agenda designed to please a radical segment of the Governor's political base, even if that means bulldozing over the rights of communities who elected these officials and putting lives at risk across the state," the statement reads.
Diaz also said that is time to put politics aside and allow local school boards to follow the advice of scientists and local medical professionals.
With the state threatening to take away funds, the U.S. Department of Education stepped in stating that the district could use COVID-19 relief funds to maintain district operations, while also using the federal money to make up for the pay the governor is threatening to withhold from school district officials.
At a previous Alachua County Commission meeting, commissioners also said that they would pull money from their American Rescue Fund to accommodate financial loss the state my impose.

Blackhat Convinced Me Hollywood Can Never Make a Good Hacker Movie
By Vidhyanshu Gaur | Updated: 30 April 2015 15:51 IST
When director Michael Mann decided to make a movie about cyberspace - an invisible world where anything is possible, where attacks are carried out by worms, viruses, and malware that can destroy anything without leaving a trace - all I hoped for was that it shouldn't be a disaster like many of those "hacker" movies of the past like Untraceable, Swordfish, Sneakers, and so many more.
If you're someone who knows even the most rudimentary basics of technology, then you have to wince when Hollywood portrays hacking as an act of magic, rather than authentic cyber-warfare.
Cyber-security had taken centre-stage in the worries and curiosity of people thanks to high profile incidents like the hacking of Sony Pictures. The result of this hacking episode was that prints of four upcoming Sony Pictures movies and one recently-released movie were leaked to file-sharing sites. Personal data of around 47,000 employees was also leaked online.
The after-effects of the cyber-attack included the resignation of the Sony Pictures co-chair and the US openly blaming North Korea for the attack. It's the kind of thing that made headlines, and was referenced on television shows, like legal drama The Good Wife.
Sony wasn't the only recent high profile target of hackers. Shopping giants Target and Home Depot both suffered similar cyber-attacks. This time around, some 40 million credit cards were compromised.
It was amidst this chaos that trailers of Mann's film, Blackhat, surfaced and aroused the curiosity of movie viewers. The trailer promised a serious movie that actually took you behind the scenes and showed you how hackers really worked.
The hype and anticipation around Blackhat became too much to handle. So obviously I watched Blackhat hoping to see something really cool, but was thoroughly disappointed.
The movie lasts over an hour and a half, and in that entire time, gave only the tiniest glimpse of insight into what really hackers are capable of in today's digital world. The film's plot is promising - a former hacker (Nick Hathaway aka Chris Hemsworth) who is serving a 15-year prison sentence gets recruited by the FBI to hunt down a cyber-terrorist. So far so good - now we're going to get a battle of wits as these two computer geniuses make feints at each other and figure out how to outsmart one another, right? Of course, that's not how the movie goes.
The movie starts with the cyber-terrorist targeting a nuclear facility in Hong Kong, and then attacking the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. In both cases our villain uses a malicious piece of code called Remote Access Trojan (RAT) to infiltrate any computer network at all, without the knowledge of the end user and create havoc in the system. It's honestly as bad as Jeff Goldblum infecting an *alien computer* using a Macbook in Independence Day. At least back then you had the excuse of saying no one really knows what a computer virus is!
Our hero has a Chinese friend who is working in the Chinese PLA's cyber-division, and this friend requests that the FBI release Hathaway to help crack the case. The FBI and the Chinese government working together to track down a hacker is just about as unbelievable as any other part of this movie, but that's not the end of it.
From this point onwards the movie goes like any other Hollywood flick and entirely loses its way. There are high speed car chases and flamboyant shootouts, until the entire movie feels more like Die Hard 4 than the hacker version of The Social Network.
Wei Tang, who plays Chris Hemsworth's girlfriend, is supposed to be some kind of IT network specialist, but her entire role is to look pretty, while the main villain could be replaced with any other clichéd greedy evildoer in Hollywood, and it wouldn't change the film at all.
Blackhat was supposed to be a movie about cyber-warfare. A basic understanding of how computers and hackers work was expected. What the movie showed was something totally different. Contrary to how hackers in real life work (quietly and using their brains) our genius hero seemed more interested in solving his problems with sheer brute force and guns (rather than a keyboard and code). The final end of the villain was a stab with a knife, which made it no different from any other movie.
What I missed in the movie was the effort to highlight what the basic software or tools required for hacking are. There could have been a showcase of ways in which hackers choose their targets and what their exit strategies are, and how they can deal with the setbacks a real hacker would face.
But Blackhat instead proved that even with the best trailers, what you actually get from Hollywood is recycled magic-hackers. It turned out to be a simple run-of-the-mill Hollywood action movie with a happily-ever- after once the hero kills the villain. The only plus point of the movie was it did manage to get the US and the Chinese cyber-security teams work together, even if only for the sake of Hollywood drama. Like every Hollywood hacking movie in the past, Blackhat failed to do is live up to the hype, and proved that we shouldn't expect a good movie about hackers anytime soon.

My Own Story
Audio (9.78 hours)
Narrator/s: Susan Duerden
Publisher: Books on Tape
The gripping memoir of the leader of the British suffragette movement who was named by Time as one of the 100 Most Important People of the 20th Century With insight and great wit, Emmeline's autobiography chronicles the beginnings of her interest in feminism through to her militant and controversial fight for women's right to vote. While Emmeline received a good education, attending an all-girls school and being expected to conform to social norms, she rebelled against conventional women's roles. At the age of 14 a meeting of women's rights activists sparked a lifelong passion in her to fight for women's freedom and she would later claim that it was on that day she became a suffragist. As one after another of the proposed feminist bills were defeated in parliament, Pankhurst was inspired to turn to extreme actions. While she was the figurehead of the suffragette movement, it advocated some controversial tactics such as arson, violent protest, and hunger strikes. Even today there is still debate about the effectiveness of her extreme strategies, but her work is recognized as a crucial element in achieving women's suffrage in Britain. Her mantle was taken up by her daughters and granddaughter with her legacy still very much alive today.

"Emmeline Pankhurst was one of England's leading women's rights activists in the early twentieth century. Her autobiography offers an enlightening look at issues that remain vital today. Susan Duerden offers a capable and at times engaging narration of this audiobook to the point that she becomes Pankhurst in the mind of the listener. Pankhurst's frustration with the intransigent male-only British government is palpable in Duerden's reading. But so are Pankhurst's joys, including her obvious maternal pride in the political activism of her daughter. Duerden's British accent adds an authentic tone without interfering with comprehension for American listeners. R.C.G. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine"

Q: How do I build an Image from multiple smaller Images So I am making this adventure/progression game and for the font I am using tiles from a spriteSheet (each tile is a letter) which I will use for many different purposes, and I can't figure out why my program is returning a black Image instead of an Image built from smaller Images (each containing a letter). The program works when I return the scaledImage Image but that only returns a single letter. What is supposed to happen is I divide the word in a letter and use a BufferedImage and Graphics2D to get the matching letter from the spriteSheet, that part works, but when I draw it to the Buffered Image, it returns a black Image.
BufferedImage spriteSheet;
    String[] alphabet = { "a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i", "j", "k", "l", "m", "n", "o", "p", "q", "r", "s",
            "t", "u", "v", "w", "x", "y", "z", " " };

public ImageIcon getWord(String word, int x, int size) throws IOException {

        String tempLetter;
        try {
            spriteSheet = ImageIO.read(new File("img/SpriteSheet.png"));
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        Image testImage = null;

        BufferedImage bi = new BufferedImage(size * word.length(), size, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);

        Graphics2D wordImage = bi.createGraphics();
        Image subImage;
        Image scaledImage;

        for (int l = 0; l < word.length(); l++) {
            tempLetter = word.substring(l, l + 1);

            for (int i = 0; i < alphabet.length; i++) {

                if (tempLetter.equalsIgnoreCase(alphabet[i])) {
                     subImage = spriteSheet.getSubimage(2 + (2 * i) + (i * 200), 2, 200, 200);
                     scaledImage = subImage.getScaledInstance(size, size, Image.SCALE_DEFAULT);
                    wordImage.drawImage(scaledImage, l*size, 0, null);
                    testImage = scaledImage;
                } else {
                    continue;
                }

            }
        }

        wordImage.dispose();

        File wordFile = new File("img/word.png");
        ImageIO.write(bi, "png", wordFile);
        ImageIcon ic = new ImageIcon("img/word.png");
        wordFile.delete();

        return ic;
    }

This is how I call the method:
   JButton play = new JButton();

            play.setBounds(300, 300, 600, 150);
            play.setIcon(sc.getWord("play", 600, 150));
p.add(play);
f.add(p);

A: After a while of research, I found out that the reason the letters were not showing was because they are black and the background of the BufferedImage was also black. So the letters were showing but were "invisible" because of the background.


Oh wow this feels fresh and new!
I moved my website to a different server! It's nothing I haven't done before aka trying out different shared hosting plans. Except this time I have my own (VPS – Virtual Private Server) server. Having your own server is nothing new. You could always rent space at a data center but that's always been expensive! Besides I've never needed that amount of resources since my sites are low traffic.
Let's take a step back and see why I did it.
Usually a shared host is ok for most people. It's essentially a managed server you are sharing with hundreds of other sites. These providers bank on you not really using the resources so they cram as many websites onto each server. Thus in the end making things a bit slower or unreliable. Because what happens to the other sites might affect you as well.
What prompted me to change hosting providers was when Google announced that it would give preferential treatment to sites who used SSL in other words sites that provide a secure communication (that little green lock in your address bar). The cool thing is that with Let's Encrypt you can now have a free SSL certificate that auto-renews. So why not have one in if it's free!
Unfortunately the host I was using at the time "A Small Orange" did not allow me to use a free certificate from .
After doing some research and coming across Tania Rascia's article on her Front End Development Setup where she mentions her webhost I decided to use the same. NearlyFreeSpeech is webhost that is ver low cost, you have to do some work and they allowed the free Let's Encrypt SSL I was wanting.
I set it all up after going through their documentation and some terminal use! Ok cool and I started to write some stuff. It was ok since it was low cost but boy was it laggy. As someone who likes speed that really bothered me. Then there was the hassle of having to deal with their really tight security measures which made making changes to the wordpress side of things a bit tedious aka slow. In the end I decided something more responsive would be better. That's where DigitalOcean (referral link) came in. I could have a VPS for: $5 a month that provided me with a dedicated amount of RAM, CPU, SSD, and Bandwidth. Yes something snappy!
Now I could have just used Cloudflare as a CDN (Content Delivery Network – they serve your webpage from the closest area that it's requested from for speed purposes). But that wouldn't have eliminated the slowness and tediousness of the backend admin panels.
So now I have a new home and it's great time to look into optimizing performance for WordPresss and my static site. The speed difference is night and day already but why not learn how to optimize things anyways!
My previous post was about finishing up the basic web page by adding some styling through CSS. I achieved that but did encounter an issue I was unable to resolve when using a CSS propery called clip-path. It's what creates the angle cut on the "Hero Image" (the large background in the top).
Too bad it "clipped" everything after it!
The reason for that was because everything was inside the same container (div) the property was assigned to. Ok so I put the content in another container to solve it.
Web page still clipping an image.
But this still clipped the VR user image.
Here is where I was stuck!
I reached out to the Treehouse Coummunity and posted my issue.
Luckily someone replied and solved it.
Turns out you need to use position:relative to force the VR users image to be on top.
I decided to take things further by practicing some HTML and CSS.
You build a basic HTML page with out CSS.
At the end of the course the instructor Guil Hernandez shows us a small preview of what can be done with further work. It's a finished version of the site we just made.
Thumbnail of a finished website by the instructor.
Here is what I worked on.
It still needs work like being fully responsive, image optimization and the angle for the image.
This is a series to do quick recaps of what I've gone through and learned in Teamtreehouse's Web Design Track.
This is the first course in this track. It's used to familiarize you with what a basic website is made up of. It also gets your hand wet. Aka you start modifying the example website. Sort of like a chef showing you how a pizza is made. Yeah you've eaten a pizza before but do you know some of the steps involved in making it? Here put some pepperoni on it.
To sum it up it's an overview of how one would modify a website to give you an idea of how they work.
For the second course we go to the foundation of all that is the web: HTML. I liked going through this course as it reminded me on where to start my thinking. Where it matters the most and with it's original intent. Which was for sharing information.
Let's put the information on the page first in a way that makes sense. Then after you can worry about how it looks.
See the Pen HTML Basics - TH by josue (@josuerodriguez) on CodePen.
The worst way to learn is to watch something and not do anything. The best way to learn is to get knowledge and put it to use. The best way to master something is to practice it and for a long period of time. My mistake was not putting to use what I learned so because I didn't practice it gets lost. On the contrary if you practice it you learn even more thus the mastery aspect of it.
There is more to this story but the main idea is that you have to practice as much as possible. How can you practice? Talk about what you learned. Make what you learned again and again. Create something new based on the lesson. Teach others and document it.
My goal now is to do a short recap on what a course entails and what I learned from it after going through it. I could also add an example of what you can create with the course section.
I've gone through various courses in the treehouse library and I even completed the Web Design Track. That track has since been updated with new content and older content has also been removed. This is actually great because it feels like it keeps things fresh and up to date. When I finished the Web Design Track previously I had a sense of accomplishment but not much confidence I had learned to the best of my ability. This time I will be going through it again with the benefit of having new content (courses) along with documenting my learning and practicing it as I mentioned before.

Q: Airplay button not showing up in AVPlayerViewController I'm trying to get the Airplay button to appear in the native AVPlayer controls, using the AVPlayerViewController.
I started a new project and am using the following block of sample code in viewDidAppear:
override func viewDidAppear(animated: Bool) {
    super.viewDidAppear(animated)

    let videoURL = NSURL(string: "https://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/big_buck_bunny.mp4")
    let player = AVPlayer(URL: videoURL!)
    player.allowsExternalPlayback = true
    player.usesExternalPlaybackWhileExternalScreenIsActive = true
    let playerViewController = AVPlayerViewController()
    playerViewController.player = player
    self.presentViewController(playerViewController, animated: true) {
        playerViewController.player!.play()
    }
}

Just in case, I have also enabled airplay in Background Modes. Still no luck. I have seen people saying that you need to add it as an MPVolumeView, but this appears to be meant for custom controls. I couldn't figure out a way to add it to the native AVPlayer controls.
If anyone can provide a working example of a barebones project that has airplay button enabled in the native AVPlayer controls, I can try to reverse-engineer it to figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks!
Edit: I checked out the 'iTunes Movie Trailers' app (from Apple), and am not seeing the Airplay button in their controls either. This is a pretty big red flag that either this is a bug, or that apple has removed the airplay button from the default AVPlayer controls altogether and has done a poor job of documenting this change. Can anyone point out an app that uses default AVPlayer controls that also includes the airplay button?

There has been a giant storm on Jupiter called the Great Red Spot (GRS) for the past 400 years. However, scientists have recently discovered that this storm is actually shrinking with time and will eventually dissipate completely in the next few years.
This new information comes as the probe Juno, NASA's US 1 billion dollar voyager, sent back incredibly detailed images of the planet Jupiter's surface back in July 2017. Scientists have been amazed with the clarity and detail of the pictures. These are the closest images which have ever been taken of Jupiter.
The GRS is a super storm which has been around since the 1600s and was four times the size of Earth when it was at its peak. If there is a comparison to Earth's longest storm, it would be Hurricane John in 1994 which lasted for 31 days.
Not all storms on Jupiter last this long however and so the GRS is an exceptional storm, by all means. Juno will be able to send more pictures during its next fly by April 2018, then again in July and September of 2019 and then one last time in December 2020 but these would not be as detailed as the pictures sent this time.
When will the GRS completely disappear?
It is hard to predict exactly when the storm will completely dissipate. It cannot be expected to last forever, "In truth, the GRS has been shrinking for a long time," Orton says. In the 1800s, the storm was four times the size of Earth. However, in 1979 it was observed through the images sent by Voyager 2 that the storm had shrunk to almost twice the size of the Earth.
"Now it's something like 13 degrees wide in longitude and only 1.3 times the size of the Earth," Orton said. "Nothing lasts forever." So there are chances that before the turn of the century, the Great Red Spot will finally fade into nothingness.
Unlike on Jupiter, the storms on Earth don't last as long because Earth's surface isn't covered in miles and miles of atmosphere. The Earth's atmosphere is also in close contact with mountains and oceans and it also spins relatively much slower than Jupiter. As a result of these factors, the weather patterns are disturbed and dissipated before they turn into anything dangerous.


What if other public services were run for profit like the American health care system?
Much talk among Conservatives paints the picture that universal health care will destroy the economy and force people into unemployment. They say that the taxes and costs incurred by all would halt economic growth and lead to a lesser quality of health care we see in our country today. While I appreciate their concerns and likewise, the quality of health care we have in our country, I would like to contribute my thoughts to the debate: the lack of a universal health care system and the mentality that health care is a right, not a privilege, is hurting our economic progress.

This month I'll be donating to a project that I've actually barely used directly. Although I want to. But a lot of the software born from the project is absolutely amazing.

While OpenBSD is in fact a whole BSD operating system, I personally have never ran it daily. I want to, even my personal laptop. There's simply too much stuff that wouldn't work, which I like to have access to. Such as Steam's recently announced proton, which makes Linux gaming a heaven. But I have yet to hear of anyone getting that to work on a BSD.

OpenBSD is a bit different however. Even though it is a full OS, it is perhaps more well known for it's other contributions to the world of Unix-like OSes. Most notably OpenSSH. A piece of software that almost anyone has running on their Linux servers. Even if not on your server, there's probably a client on your machine installed, perhaps being used for tasks such as cloning git repos.

I don't run the OpenBSD operating sytem directly. But there's probably no other project that has provided such a flood of contributions to my systems indirectly. To encourage this, **I threw 50 Euros to the OpenBSD project.** Hopefully all the OpenBSD projects will keep flourishing, and if Linux one day diverges too far from my needs (Not impossible, considering the recent Code of Conduct mess) then I might just end up running OpenBSD itself on my laptop.
