Q: Problem switching from DataMapper to Active Record in Rails 3 I have removed my DataMapper specific models and gems in my Rakefile and removed all databases. I also updated my database.yml file. Now, when I attempt to generate a model with
rails g model Car year:integer make:string model:string

I get:
No value provided for required options '--orm'

Is there someplace that I am missing the specification of Active Record? I've been unable to find any documentation for switching an application's ORM.

A: Have a look in config/application.rb, you may have a line that looks like this:
config.generators do |g|
  g.orm :datamapper
end

Change that :datamapper symbol to :active_record or remove that line completely to switch back to ActiveRecord.
If it's not there, you may have a file in config/initializers which does this setup for you.

Embittered Spinster
By Johanna Drucker
GET THE WORD OUT while there is still time: poetry is fatal, especially to unmarried women. Terence Davies, director of one of the world's worst-ever biopics, A Quiet Passion, makes the risks of versifying very clear, though possibly Davies confused the story of Emily Dickinson's life with the script for What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? The dead rat and carving knife don't show up, but we've still got the crazy recluse spinster and her oh-so-accommodating sister right at the heart of the drama. Intellectual life makes a girl go mental, and in this flick we are treated to a graphic narrative of how bad writing is for women.
Right from the outset, we know that Emily will have to be punished. For some reason, as a teenager, she refuses to believe that she has to be saved from sins that she cannot imagine she has committed. Go figure. The road to salvation is managed by a school marm with a really bad lace cap pinned awkwardly to equally bad hair, and Emily is assured that her soul is destined for eternal perdition. Emily's refusal to yield her reasonable questions to moronic morality is a harbinger of further rebellion against the Christian family values that will decide her fate in the narrative outcomes (cinematic judgment is partisan to predestination). A woman who chooses the life of the mind will necessarily suffer since interiority is clearly a form of pathology. Give up on marriage, obligatory conjugal sex, and procreation, and you are damned to a yet another hell. Which, in this case, is the wretched fires of someone else's bad narrative of your life. Beware fame, all ye who write poems, or this could be your fate in years ahead!
Rescued by her family from the chilly girls' school where her moral conscience was rebuked, Emily returns to her home in Amherst. For some mysterious Masterpiece Theater–inspired reason, the setting resembles the English countryside of a Merchant-Ivory film instead of a tightly plotted New England town. Here, Emily begins to indulge in private acts of writing that burst from her virgin soul. Oh, except she has Bright's disease (not really a disease, but a term applied in the period to a whole raft of ills). Well, never mind the details. Never have the paroxysms of verse composition and those of a painful kidney disease been so artfully crafted into a single excuse for falling into fits. Why would anyone make this connection as a matter of course? Luckily Emily's furniture has plenty of lathe-turned dowels to grip in the throes of her pains, reinforcing the intersection of domestic life, celibacy, and torments.
The simple act of a woman writing poetry would probably have been sufficiently fatal, given that Davies depicts the pleasures of verse production as a singularly perverse activity. He casts young Emily's work as a kind of a nocturnal emission, stolen from sleep, when the rest of the household is tucked under their coverlets. Of course, she dutifully asks permission of her father for this transgression of routines and selfish wakefulness. Luckily, Father (played by Keith Carradine, who manages to wear mutton-chop whiskers without looking ridiculous) knows best and indulges his daughter in this peculiar pastime. He is clearly deluded into believing that poetry is harmless. (Later he controls his son, countering his desire to enlist in the fight against slavery, in spite of his earlier expression of abolitionist beliefs.) Though she professes to desire "only her family" and life in its slow-motion, dimly lit parlor, her only solace and relief within the suffocating confines of other people's ordinariness is her writing. Every possible attempt is made to turn the Dickinson family home into a minimum-security madhouse where increasingly crazy (that is, unsociable and self-absorbed into her tasks) Emily is catered to by her improbably patient and enduring sister, whose occasional "tsk tsk" is impotent defense against bouts of spitting anger and mild hysteria — both signs of genius and thus to be forgiven. No matter that the poor poet is deprived of privacy, affirmation, or intellectual companionship, she must be "bitter" from the fact that her "plain" face attracts no suitors. Poetry, again, is portrayed as the solace of the unattractive. We knew there had to be something to turn to for comfort.
Emily is granted parental permission to submit her verse for publication, and in return receives unwelcome visits from editor and fans alike. By this point in the film, her irreverent best friend has gone off to exercise her wit in marriage, and her brother has brought home a bride to live close by, but Emily's emotional state is already precarious. The punishment for writing will be spinsterhood and death, but it takes a long time for the latter to arrive. Hard to tell which is worse, the physical ills she conceals or the psychic ones she endures, but both are side effects of her literary fervor, wouldn't you know? In case you missed the subtler hints, a genuine fire-and-brimstone preacher is brought in to force the father to kneel amid his children and pray for salvation. Protestantism is stern business, and poor Emily only manages a Sunday off from the wretched sermons of the sadistic preacher by suggesting she would prefer her own relationship with her soul. Given the austerity and pressure for conformity in the household, the reprieve is an absolute miracle. Father's abiding cheer is made fully evident at the moment he sits for a daguerreotype portrait and in response to the photographer's bid for a smile he replies, "I am smiling." Gotta hand it to the guy, that kind of grim determination is the only thing that can get you through this wretched film.
The colossal ennui and forced companionship of evenings in the Amherst parlor is never lightened by recognition that the social spaces of parallel activity might have felt full and pleasurable — reading, starting at the fire, mending, or whatever. We are subject to a sensory deprivation experience about as excruciating as a water clock's drip (lots of footage of door moldings, staircases, and, improbably, collections of fresh flowers in windows at all seasons in the New England climate). Firelight works wonders for eyes filled with tears, sparkling with the unbearable sadness of girl talk between sisters, pseudo-sisters, sort-of-sisters, and so on. Every intimate moment is accompanied by these tears, as is, of course, the norm with female creatures. The feminine realm dominates, though Emily's brother, inexplicably Irish in accent, look, and general bearing, is always hanging out at the old family home so that he can read bits of the newspaper aloud and torment his increasingly house-bound sister. Emily's eccentricities (handled pretty well by Cynthia Nixon, who seems to have been told to play the part of a woman consuming misery for breakfast, lunch, and her meager dinner) are punctuated by Protestant witticisms that are enough to wither any spirit. "I fear that heaven will be dull. And hell? Even duller, that will be the agony." With side-splitters like these, the endless deaths could be considered comic relief.
Father dies. Mother dies, slowly, drooling and spilling in a post-stroke palsy with her dutiful daughters in full attendance. Sometime about now poor Emily puts on a white dress, though the rest of the family is in mourning. She wears this coarsely spun item, corset-less and shroud-like, shapeless as a nightgown for the whole rest of the film. Simple hygiene aside, this is clearly a bad sign. In response to the losses of her one friend, her married preacher-crush, her father, and her mother, she has begun the long business of dying herself. This is no doubt just punishment for wishing to have a few private thoughts in the pre-dawn hours. She never takes the garment off again, and for her remaining years, keeps faithfully to this dreary garment. Be careful what you wear if you are a woman poet, since once you dress for the casket you may hasten your way into it.
Music, when it appears in the film, is pure sensual sinfulness, except for hymn, and the first performance of a work by Schubert brings out the prude in Father and Aunt Elizabeth. When Schubert arrives again late in the film, the music greases the road to adultery, since the charming songstress (with a husband suffering some kind of venereal impediment to satisfying his wife's needs) has only to lift her eyes to brother Austin to have him lift her skirts in turn. In fact, the sheer amount of clothing looks like a literal as well as virtual obstacle to serious engagement of anything but lips and hands, but in any case, the passionate coitus goes interruptus when the righteous Emily bursts in and expresses her spinsterly disgust. Mind and body clearly cannot both be satisfied, and as the former is closer to the unforgiving Protestant god, it must be served. The two lovers retreat, tails tucked, as it were, between legs. To be a woman poet is to denounce the pleasures of human intercourse, and the sensual equivalent of slamming shut one's door is enacted constantly by Nixon in her demonstration of Dickinson's moral rectitude.
In spite of the brilliance of Dickinson's poems, registered by the response of her crush, Reverend Wadsworth, who answers her plea for some statement, please, anything at all (women poets are so pathetic, aren't we?) to confirm the extraordinary character of the work, we are generally left to imagine that these byproducts of self-imposed reclusion and defensively bitter spinsterhood are merely the effluvia of a cloistered mind trying to imagine escape. Whoever wrote the script seems to have taken half the lines from 19th-century Protestant sermons and the other half from mawkishly maudlin melodramas. The Dickinson poems hang in the air. How different from Jim Jarmusch's appreciation of the real function and production of poetry within a life lived. As portrayed here, poetry is a protest, the bitter residue of a life not lived.
No matter, water is thicker than blood, as we find, entertaining the "abstainer" wife-and-husband team who capture Emily's heart while refusing tea, coffee, and even lemonade. We are treated to a glimpse of the seductive sermonizer proclaiming through a shadow cast on white lace drapes, and who can resist transcendence when it comes in the form of filtered sunlight and upraised arms. So male. So virile. Emily, who is always deserted by the ones she loves, finds herself alone and adrift, and this inward state is manifest, rather oddly, by that weird decision to place the family house in an isolated spot in the countryside. No wonder the poor girl is delusional — her town disappears along with her crushes, and she has to imagine a stranger stealing his way up the stairs to her room at night to console herself for all that loss. Sexual frustration, isolation, bitterness, and a slide into the edge of craziness are the natural consequences of being too bright, too driven, and too serious about poetry while inhabiting a woman's body. Too bad the director did not supply Emily with a mass of stuffed animals, or weapons, or instruments of masochistic self-engagement. Or, at the very least, the faithful sister might have broken down once, just once, and served that rat. Instead, Emily is left to grab the arms and legs of the furniture to quell the pain and dies and dies and dies. Poetry, you see, is fatal in women. Where is Kelly Reichardt when we need her?

This is really a question for the Captains in this division.
Having been asked to ref for Brighton on a number of occasions this season only to see the game cancelled at relatively short notice, I happened yesterday to take a look at the league table http://mixedlacrosse.leaguerepublic.com ... ue=8916680 and I was surprised to see that a lot of teams have a lot of postponed games left to play.
I hear through the grapevine that travel is becoming increasingly difficult for several teams and I believe I have a solution of sorts. Using the successful model from the Irish domestic men's league, I believe that a lot of these outstanding fixtures could be resolved if the teams agreed a date and a venue to hold a game day. The idea would be that as many teams as possible would congregate at one location for a whole day and play a series of games, similar in all ways to a tournament except that the fixtures would be pre-determined by the needs of the league schedule. Obviously the games themselves would need to be of slightly shorter duration (maybe 10 minute quarters?) and a location with at least two pitches would be needed, BUT it would allow each team to play at least four of their remaining fixtures at a reduced travelling expense. The Ibis ground, where Reading play their Men's SEMLA fixtures, would be a suitable location, as would Southampton's Wide Lane (geographically not quite as good as Reading, but a better facility in my personal opinion).
Presumably the counterpoint to this plan is that the venue hire cost would be more than normal for a home game, BUT if it allows the home team to play two or three of their remaining home games on one day AND maybe one or two of their "away" games (by agreement with their opponents) this cost can simply be offset against the projected costs for further home and away fixtures which would, in theory, no longer be needed. Perhaps each of the "visiting" teams could also make a contribution out of the savings they will have made on overall travel costs?
By having several teams in one place you also solve the eternal problem of referees - the rota system used in women's lacrosse could be adopted, whereby any third team provides two/three officials for each game. For good measure, you could even contact one of the lacrosse retailers and see if they would send someone to run a stall during the day.
I don't play for a team in this league anymore, but it's a shame to see the league itself struggle. Mixed provides a reliable pathway into the single-gender versions of the game and if it falters then lacrosse in the South as a whole will suffer. Can the Captains get their heads together and try to reach a solution please!

In this short yet substantial tract of ibn al-Qayyim, he pens a message of heartfelt advice and appreciation to a friend of his by the name of 'Alā' Al-Dīn; invoking Allāh's Kindness, Guidance and Blessing upon him.Within this translation of 'Risalatu ibn al-Qayyim ila' Ahadi Ikhwāwanihi', the author explain the finer points of having a need in seeking Allāh's Guidance in all of our affairs and the means to persist upon the Straight Path. The risalah includes six weighty elements by which a Muslim can achieve happiness and pleasure; and through which righteousness can be perfected.The knowledge-based content of the book reflects ibn al-Qayyim's attention to detail, while explaining it in an easy to understand manners, it's modelled as sincere advice to his friend that will of course, be of wider benefit to all who read it IN SHA ALLAH. He commented that, "if you come to know what I have explained (in this message), you will then know that the ultimate pleasure, perfect delight and rejoice, grace and good life are found only in knowing Allāh, worshipping Him alone, feeling comfort and affability with Him, longing to meet Him, and devoting the heart and endeavours for Him.


It�s that time of year. People sit down and examine what they didn�t do last year and resolve�once again�to lose weight, get in shape, or start a new habit of some kind. But since these intentions usually fall short, perhaps it�s reasonable to consider trying something different this year.
The mere fact that New Year�s resolutions are often faded memories by March or April attests to some level of human frailty when it comes to follow up. So instead of goals or new habits, why not examine our internal principles? Instead of losing weight or walking �x� number of times per week, how about giving thought to our values and beliefs from which we make our choices?
With all the corruption we see in the corporate world and in various governments, wouldn�t it be nice to see people revisiting and reconsidering their principles?
Alas, corporate fat cats and high-ranking government officials are outside our circle of influence. Since the only person over whom we have control is ourselves, it just makes sense that if we�re going to advocate a review of principles, we ought to start with ourselves.
For example, one of Coach Hawkins� axioms is �Don�t try to win, just be a winner.� He believes if a person (or a team) does the right things, then doing those things consistently will lead them to winning.
Another of Coach Hawkins� principles is to hire good people and let them do their thing. He�s not a micro-manager. He sets high expectations, but he also creates an atmosphere of trust. As a result, his entire organization operates on a level of mutual respect.
Can you imagine how smooth your workplace would operate under similar principles?
Continuing with a bit of definition, principles are not practices. Practices�the actions we take�are derived from principles. Good principles lead to good actions. Poor or non-existent principles are the conditions that lead people to poor or dangerous choices. Compare a person with no principles to a ship without a rudder.
Interestingly, Colero says that over the years he�s suggested these lists, very few changes have been recommended. This ought to tell us something about the resiliency, durability, and reliability of good, solid principles.
If you�ve not thought of them for a while, perhaps a review of principles would be beneficial. It certainly couldn�t hurt. And based on the current state of affairs we see around us, it might genuinely help.
Have a tough time achieving resolutions?
It's not lack of motivation--it's the presence of obstacles!

Up next in our spotlight series on our PCA&D Student Ambassadors for the 2018-2019 school year is Chris Morris.
Don't forget to check out previous posts on two of our other student ambassadors, Adam Leitzel and Emily Phillips.
We are very excited to introduce you to digital media major, Chris Morris. Chris is originally from Bear, DE and graduated from Appoquinimink High School. This is Chris's senior year and we can't believe it! We've really enjoyed watching his work progress and we're very interested to see what's next for him.
CM: In my first visit to the college I discovered the close-knit, artistic community that is created here. It felt very comfortable and welcoming as opposed to some of the larger colleges I visited. I also was really interested in the Digital Media major.
CM: The walkability and transportation access of Lancaster is a huge plus for me. There are great food options around the city as well. First Fridays are always inspirational for anyone in the creative field.
When giving a tour or talking about PCA&D, what is one thing you are sure to show or describe to a prospective student?
DM: Whenever I show a prospective student around the college, I will always show them the lab that has our Cintiq technology. When I saw the Arts and Technology center I was beyond excited to use the equipment to supplement my workflow.
Which clubs or activities have you become involved in?
CM: For the past three years I have been an officer of the PCA&D SIGGRAPH Student Chapter. SIGGRAPH is an international organization with a focus on the digital media industry. Our college chapter is a group that allows for digital media students to connect and learn together through collaborative projects, workshops, artist talks, critique nights, and social events. Every year our PCA&D SIGGRAPH Chapter sends over a group of students to the international conference, which features presentations, panels, and other events held by the biggest companies and industry professionals. It is also a great opportunity to meet students in your industry worldwide.
CM: My professors inspire me through their lectures, critique, and personal work. For example, Professor Jon DiVenti, the Digital Media department chair, constantly inspires me to push my characters and story to be both imaginative and effective. Simultaneously, Professor Nick LeDonne's personal animated films inspire me to be introspective about my own work and communicate emotion through my work. The faculty are a constant stream of inspiration.
CM: Everyday I am inspired by other students, but especially my roommates since freshman year, Marshaun Zeigler-Dumas and Joey Bend. Over the past few years we've each grown from being new foundation year students to operating as student leaders in both our respective majors and school organizations. Witnessing their artistic and personal growth first hand is a constant inspiration to me.
CM: The best advice I could give to a prospective student is to take advantage of every opportunity you can. Between the various artist talks, college events, clubs/organizations, or whatever else, you never know where inspiration or opportunities can come from.
CM: Being Student Ambassador of Digital Media means that I represent the voice and perspective of Digital Media students at PCA&D, and therefore I've gained a well-rounded knowledge of the Digital Media curriculum and student experience. This position also allows me to share my personal knowledge and experience with the DM major to prospective students and the community.
CM: "We could not only evoke, but conjure a place of our own" - Porter Robinson.
This quote is a lyric from one of my favorite songs in high school. It is a constant reminder that as a creative individual, I can create a creative space of my own.
CM: This year is super exciting because I am working on my senior thesis! My thesis is an animated short. In Digital Media we start developing our thesis in our junior year, so I'm excited to see how the project progresses.
Let's take a look at a couple of Chris's creations. Have more questions for Chris? Send them over via email at admissions@pcad.edu. Or you can come to our November 17th Open House and meet Chris in-person.

NBA Rumors: Andrew Bogut trade deal with Golden State Warriors Confirmed
3 years ago Ketakee Srivastava
Golden State Warriors are missing most of their players and it is time to get some older faces back. Andrew Bogut, who played for the Warriors in the 2019 NBA finals can be one of those names. Bogut is an Australian resident who plays for the Sydney Kings in NBL and also for the national team. In the recent game against Team USA, Bogut and Patty Mills surprised everyone by winning the match.
Big day in Basketball for this Country🇦🇺🇦🇺. Well done to the people involved having the 🏀🏀 to organize playing a bball game in a football stadium. Can't make everyone smile all the time, but I hope today was a day where most did.
— Andrew Bogut (@andrewbogut) August 24, 2019
While Mills is returning to NBA for the team of San Antonio Spurs, the same can't be said for Bogut. But the recent performance caught the attention of Warriors coach Steve Kerr and he is all praise for the Aussie. The Warriors could soon offer a deal to Andrew Bogut and his coming back to the NBA is almost confirmed.
Bogut needs to Stay Fit and Healthy
The Warriors would love to have Bogut back in their roster and it depends on his health and fitness. The 34-year-old Australian had his share of injuries and was seen limping after recent Australia vs. Germany match. It is still not clear whether Bogut will play for Team Australia in the match against Canada on Sunday.

Andrew needs to recover and prove his fitness to the team if he wants to get back to the Dubs side. Apart from that, there is also the problem of negotiation with the Sydney Kings as they still own Bogut for the next year. The Warriors and Kings would reach on some kind of trade agreement where they both could use the backup center in their teams.
Warriors and Bogut Dynamics
Warriors lost a few players and got some new ones and it has changed their roster entirely. Draymond Green, Kevon Looney, and Willie Cauley-Stein are enough to handle the center position and the addition of Bogut makes it further strong.
Possible reunion … again?

— Warriors Nation (@WarriorNationCP) August 28, 2019
Bogut is a big man who can protect Stephen Curry from the offensive opponents and give him a chance to score. If everything goes right, the Warriors will soon re-sign the big Aussie man. Warriors needs some depth in their roster and Bogut is the perfect fit for the 2019-20 season games.

Q: Shader - Directional Lights Depth Is there a way to retrieve the deph from directional lights ? I can access the _ShadowMapTexture but this is not the depth.
I found how to access the shadow map of, I think, every light type by using the defines such as SHADOW_ATTENUATION(a) or directly the _ShadowMapTexture, everything is located in the built-in shaders.
But I am wondering how could I access the depth of those lighting type. I found a way to access it for the spot light this way : _ShadowCoord.z which gives the depth scaled with _ShadowCoord.w, which could be considered to the far plane, but am I right ?
How could I do the same for the other light types such as directional or point lights ? For the moment I am stuck with directional lights, any clues ?
Because if I try to access the depth for a directional light by using _ShadowCoord.z it seems that it's more related to the depth view and not the light. Here I am, totally stuck with this directional lights.

Detroit carries with it a substantial mythology, the glory days of the American automotive industry, the decline of the American automotive industry, motown, white flight, rebellions or riots, ruins, Robocop, bankruptcy, more ruins, and resurgence. The city reached its population peak of 1.8 million in 1950 when it was the fourth largest city in the country and the predominant story since then has been one of decline, but while the population of Detroit proper may half of what it once was, there's still a lot here. What if we forget all the hype and just look at the city for what it is, what it has, and who is here?
We begin at the destination of many a Detroit pilgrimage: the Motown Museum, where the signature sound of the city was born. Berry Gordy bought this building in 1959 and lived with his family in the upper unit while the first floor housed his business, Motown Records and Studio A, where pretty much every amazing song you associate with motown was recorded. Diana Ross and the Supremes, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, The Four Tops, Martha Reeves and The Vandellas, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. All of them recorded in this room, on these worn wooden floors, at all hours day and night. Producers gave direction and cut tracks using the equipment that's still there in the control room.
Motown moved to LA in 1972, but this site became a museum in 1985 to house artifacts and photos and host exhibitions to share the legacy of Motown. They engage future generations in the important musical history that happened here and have a significant expansion in the works. The sign out front isn't bragging. It's fact and you can stop by anytime you like to pay your respect.
A short drive away is another pilgrimage point, the venerable Detroit Institute of Arts, which was spared from creditors who targeted its collection to pay off municipal debts after the city filed for bankruptcy in 2013 and it's a good thing, because the work we came to see really shouldn't exist anywhere in the world but here.
Diego Rivera's "Detroit Industry" murals were completed over the course of 11 months, beginning in 1932. The famed Mexican muralist had been commissioned by the museum's director and Edsel Ford to paint two murals related to the history of Detroit and its industrial development. After researching and spending time at the Ford Auto Plant, Rivera was so intrigued and inspired that he suggested expanding to all four walls. They agreed and now we have this.
We were nearly alone in the space, a rarity, and we marveled at the vibrant mural cycle as bright morning light raked across its surfaces. The still brilliant color we can credit to Rivera's expertise in the technique of fresco painting, where pigments are worked directly into still wet plaster. On the east wall, Rivera depicts new life, represented by nude women cradling a bountiful harvest and a child growing in the bulb of a plant. The north wall gives views into Ford's River Rouge plant, where we see the making of motors from a blast furnace glowing in the distance to its final stages in the assembly line. On the south wall, we see cars taking shape and a giant stamping press we know is Rivera's representation of Aztec goddess Cotalicue, a creator and destroyer of life.
Rivera was a Marxist and his murals are a tremendous tribute to the many workers who fueled Detroit's industry and whose sacrifices to the industry gods were quite literal. He believed art should belong to the public as it does here in this space. The west wall symbolizes endings and last judgments with the double edged sword of technological advancement and its capacity for destruction on display.
The invocation above the door as you exit "Life is short, art is long" feels both true and also like a wish. There is much more here, including a remarkable set of galleries devoted to art created by African-American artists and about African-American history and experience. The department bridges seamlessly into their contemporary galleries but I can't show it all to you, so just promise me you'll go, okay?
We then made our way to the Heidelberg Project. In 1986, artist Tyree Guyton returned to the street where he grew up on the east side of Detroit and began cleaning up vacant lots and abandoned buildings with the help of his grandfather and neighborhood kids. With paint and by repurposing refuse and materials they found, Guyton transformed much of the street and sidewalks into this giant outdoor art environment, although other residents do remain.
The effort was incorporated into a non-profit community organization with the mission of improving the lives of people in neighborhoods through art. Tires, old kid toys, signs, outmoded electronics, and holiday decorations form a mound from which brick columns emerge like chimneys, reminding us that yes, there were once other houses on these vacant lots. Moments that feel more random are followed by others that are very much composed. Empty shipping containers call out 1967, the year of the Detroit rebellion, which began after police raided an unlicensed bar and unraveled into one of America's largest civil disturbances of the 20th century.
Guyton conceived the project as a kind of medicine for a Detroit community that had seen tremendous and devastating change, offering up a site where neighbors and visitors can come together to play, interact, and reflect and also participate in educational programs, festivals, and forums. It didn't take long for people to object to what he was doing, neighbors as well as the city. Several of the house installations have been demolished, others destroyed by arson, and what remains is here only through the vigilance of the project's staff, supporters, and legal team.
Heidelberg has evolved over the years and has the feeling that it's at once in the process of being created and also destroyed, with new replacing old, fresh paint next to faded, and I'm sure you've noticed clocks are everywhere, both a reminder of time's passage and also an insistent questioning about what's happening now and what might be in the future.
Guyton started dismantling parts of the site a couple of years ago to make room for a new vision he calls Heidelberg 3.0. We'll be watching.
Construction, redevelopment, and restoration can be seen in many areas of Detroit, especially downtown. This giant hole is going to be Detroit's tallest tower and beyond it, we can see murals by How and Nosm on the left and Shepard Fairey on the right. Library Street Collective commissioned these as well as a number of other projects around the city like this billboard by Willie Wayne Smith and "The Belt", an alleyway where you can experience rotating exhibitions of large scale paintings, get a drink, and also visit the Collective's gallery when they're not between shows.
Library Collective works with a number of entitites public and private to bring new artwork to Detroit, like this development and also an enormous new bronze sculpture by Kaws overlooking campus (?~7:25) park, a parent and child arrangement of the artist's signature skull and crossbones meets Mickey Mouse companion character. Approaching the riverfront, you can take in another huge scale bronze, Robert Graham's 1986 monument to the legendary boxer and Detroit native Joe Lewis, a centennial gift to the city from Sports Illustrated Magazine.
Beyond it lies Hart Plaza, an expansive space that hosts large public gatherings, provides magnificent views of the Detroit skyline, and also contains sculptures, including the spire on the right by Isamu Noguchi, as well as a large fountain behind us, also by Noguchi, which was off and looked kind of sad that way, so I'm not going to show it to you.
Here's a pretty picture someone took in 2009 to give you a sense. A short walk away is the Guardian Building, an art deco building that was completed in 1929. Its glorious interiors have been maintained and restored to exquisite perfection, decorated with (?~8:21) tile and a central clock by Tiffany. Oh, it's time for us to stop for the day.
We began day two in the north end of Detroit at the studio of artist Scott Hocking, which is filled to the brim with the objects and evidences of his past and future artworks. Scott has lived and worked in Detroit proper for over 20 years and has spent a great deal of time exploring the city's vacant and unused spaces, using the site and its materials to create sculptures and installations. Sometimes he brings these materials into art galleries in Michigan and far beyond and sometimes he uses abandoned or unused spaces to create works right on site. This has involved spending eight months building a pyramid out of wooden floor bricks that remained in Detroit's Fisher Body Plant 21, vacant since the 1980s and also crafting an egg-shaped structure out of marble remnants that once lined the interior corridors of Michigan Central train station.
He photographs what he makes so that people who can't get there can see it. The lifespan of these constructions are uncertain and often short, subject to the whims of other tresspassers, scrappers, and changing keepers of the properties, but he also makes work much farther afield, like inside a former railway station in the French city of (?~9:40), combining materials he brought from Detroit with those found within the station and nearby street market into a fantastical cabinet of curiosities.
Scott took us to see an installation he'd just made in the Eastern Market neighborhood for the annual festival that takes place here called Murals in the Market. He found dozens of discarded concrete sewer pipes on the site of this long-vacant warehouse and out of them created 17 towers, reaching as high as 22 feet tall.
It's cheekly titled after Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone's artwork "Seven Magic Mountains" that emerges brightly in the desert outside of Las Vegas, made from painted, locally-sourced boulders. Hocking's version is equally totemic but less alien, less tidy, more native to its environment. No signage accompanies these that says who made them and how. You find these mysterious megalithic structures by wandering around, surrounded by the contributions of other artists who make their mark without invitation.
There's plenty to look at here besides the installation. Venturing into the warehouse shows you that people have been here and will continue to come here. Hocking's contributions are more large-scale versions of the traces of life that exist all around, reminders that places like these may not be as abandoned as they're assumed to be.
All around Eastern Market, you can see murals, many or most of which have emerged from past years of the festival, and we enjoyed looking at them, although not without starting to ponder over who gets to make art legally and where and who makes those decisions, but next we stopped by the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit, or MOCAD, on whose facade you can see Martin Creed's neon work "Everything Is Going to be Alright".
On our way in, we visit Mobile Homestead, a work by the artist Mike Kelly that is a full-scale replica of the house he grew up in in the suburbs of Detroit. The facade can be detached and driven around to neighborhoods around the city and it's currently installed here to be used as a flexible community center and sp. ace for events and exhibitions, like the one on view now, called Pocket Size, featuring sculpture, architecture, painting, and historical recreations that are all, yes, pocket sized.
Inside we encounter a truly delightful pop up shop by California based Katie Kimmel, who makes ceramics and clothing and describes her sense of humor as "98% angel, 2% devil", but we were there to check out MOCAD's exhibition of work by Tyree Guyton, who makes work beyond the Heidelberg project.


Thursday, Feb. 25, 2010 | 2:01 a.m.
Metro Police are proposing a smaller budget for the first time in almost 30 years, but at least one Clark County commissioner wants the department's leaders to look even deeper for savings.
And Sheriff Doug Gillespie agrees.
It's not just that Clark County expects to be about $200 million in the hole in the fiscal year, which begins July 1. Commissioner Steve Sisolak also admits he wants to use Gillespie's "proactive" budgeting to send a message to any potentially recalcitrant public employee unions — a shot across the bow of county firefighters, who are among the highest paid county employees.
Last year, firefighters kept all their salary increases and benefits after the county deemed their union's offer of concessions unacceptable.
The police officers union, on the other hand, worked with Gillespie and agreed to no cost-of-living raises. The same is expected this year. Gillespie, meanwhile, has held town-hall meetings and presented a budget that is about $56 million less than the previous year.
Now he is looking for more cuts.
After Monday's meeting of Metro's Fiscal Affairs Committee, Gillespie said he turned to his staff. "I pointed to the tentative budget, said take it home, know it, and find ways to make further cuts.
"Nobody knows for sure, but I'm not seeing things changing here in the near future," he said, referring to the economy.
After poring over the tentative budget, Sisolak had plenty of ideas. He said he would like to see Metro try for zero increases or cuts in merit pay, longevity pay or other salary boosts for officers who work certain shifts or live in towns such as Laughlin.
Holding longevity and merit pay to current levels, Sisolak added, would save about another $8 million.
The sheriff and county staff are at the start of contract negotiations with the Las Vegas Police Protective Association. Another smaller union represents police managers, and a third represents civilians in the department. The county is also gearing up for negotiations with firefighters and service employees unions.
Metro's tentative budget request totals $522.9 million. Of that, 89 percent would cover salaries and benefits. The 96-page budget summarized during Monday's meeting notes that 39.1 percent of the budget, or $204 million, comes from Clark County, and 24.9 percent, or $130 million, comes from Las Vegas. Property tax revenue covers $141 million, and the rest, about $47 million, is from other sources.
Because of the joint county-city funding, the Fiscal Affairs Committee includes two county commissioners and two Las Vegas City Council members. A fifth member represents the public and is appointed by the committee to serve for at least one year. The current appointee is James Hammer, president and CEO of Paycard USA. He could not be reached for comment.
The two county commissioners on the committee are Sisolak, a former university regent, and Larry Brown, a former Las Vegas councilman. Brown did not return a message left at his office. The city's representatives are Councilmen Steve Wolfson, a lawyer, and Gary Reese, a barbershop owner. Wolfson did not return a message left at his office.
Reese said he wants to take a closer look at the budget before commenting on Sisolak's desire for deeper cuts. But he disagrees with linking negotiations among unions.
The idea of cutting or holding steady some other areas suggested by Sisolak—merit pay and longevity pay, among others— wouldn't fly with the union, he added, if the savings will "just go to go back into the general fund (of the county or city).
Sisolak told the Sun he wants Metro to consider cutting an officer's annual uniform and equipment payment of $1,675. Collins said officers use that money to buy guns and bulletproof vests because the department stopped doing so in 2005. Gun barrels wear out every two to three years from shooting, and vests in a desert climate need to be replaced every five years, Collins said.
Sisolak's desire to look at cutting swing- and graveyard-shift salary boosts, Collins also said, might hurt the department's effort to keep more veteran officers on duty during less-desirable work hours.
Sisolak said he would also like the sheriff to look at giving officers a one-time lump-sum payment if they obtain college degrees, instead of bonuses every year. A master's degree, for instance, boosts annual pay by $2,200.
They also have an opinion, based partly on the fact that they gave up their entire cost-of-living increase last year, of what will happen if police are the first to take a cut.


SANTA FE, N.M. — Standardized testing for New Mexico high school students — at least those in two grade levels — will be reduced next year under legislation signed into law today by Gov. Susana Martinez.
The new law, which will be in effect in time for the 2016-17 school year, will do away with a requirement that ninth and tenth-graders in public schools and charter schools take at least three periodic assessments during each academic year in reading, English and mathematics.
However, students at those grade levels will still face the computer-based PARCC exam, or Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, an annual state-mandated standardized test that is administered in April or May.
The measure, House Bill 97, was sponsored by Rep. G. Andres Romero, D-Albuquerque, passed both the House and Senate during this year's 30-day legislative session without a single "no" vote.
Meanwhile, Martinez also signed eight other bills today that were approved by lawmakers during this year's session.
She has now signed 64 of the 101 passed bills, and has until Wednesday to act on the others.

Q: bash read builtin does not echo input if script is piped to less I stumbled upon this strange behavior of the bash builtin read.
I have a interactive script which has the potential of generating a large output. So naturally you append | less to it.
The script will still ask you for your input but it will not echo what you typed.
Here is a small sample.sh:
#!/bin/bash

echo "Type:"
read -r input

echo "Typed: ${input}"

sample.sh | less
I noticed that this is not a general issue with pipes (e.g. |cat works).
Any clue would be appreciated.
A SOLUTION which works for me:
#!/bin/bash

STTY_ORIG="$(stty -g)"  # save stty settings
stty echo  # enable echo

echo "Type:"
read -e -r input  # use readline (backspace will not work otherwise)

echo "Typed: ${input}"

stty "${STTY_ORIG}"  # restore stty settings

A: A SOLUTION which works for me and did not show an side effects.
Basically just tweak and restore the terminal settings...
#!/bin/bash

STTY_ORIG="$(stty -g)"  # save stty settings
stty echo  # enable echo

echo "Type:"
read -e -r input  # use readline (backspace will not work otherwise)

echo "Typed: ${input}"

stty "${STTY_ORIG}"  # restore stty settings

A: It actualy works for me.
The same script
martus@makus-pc:/tmp/src$ dpkg -l | grep bash
ii  bash   4.4-5   amd64   GNU Bourne Again SHell

martus@makus-pc:/tmp/src$ uname -a
Linux makus-pc 4.9.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.65-3+deb9u1 (2017-12-23) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Edit: Does the script works without piping less? Less won't show anything typed untill you hit enter.

Remember the poor and shun materialism, pope says on Christmas Eve
December 25, 2018 Europe, Worldchristian community, christmas eve, Pope Francis, RomeAsdiq Rana
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) – Pope Francis led the world's Roman Catholics into Christmas, urging people in the developed world to seek a simpler, less materialistic life and condemning the yawning gap between the rich and the poor.
Francis, 82, marking the sixth Christmas of his papacy, led a solemn service for nearly 10,000 people in St. Peter's Basilica for his traditional Christmas Eve Mass.
Security has been tight around the Vatican and many other tourist areas in Rome for the Christmas season.
In his homily, Francis said the infant Jesus, born in poverty in a stable, should make everyone, particularly those who have become "greedy and voracious," reflect on the real meaning of life.
"… Let us ask ourselves: Do I really need all these material objects and complicated recipes for living? Can I manage without all these unnecessary extras and live a life of greater simplicity?" Francis said.
"In our day, for many people, life's meaning is found in possessing, in having an excess of material objects. An insatiable greed marks all human history, even today, when, paradoxically, a few dine luxuriantly while all too many go without the daily bread needed to survive," he said.
Francis, the first pope from Latin America, has made defending the poor a hallmark of his papacy.
Earlier, the Vatican said he had given the homeless in Rome a Christmas gift of a new clinic in St. Peter's Square where they can get free medical help.
The Catholic charity Caritas estimated late last year that there are more than 16,000 homeless in Rome and their number congregating near the Vatican has grown visibly in recent years, especially at night when they cluster under arcades to sleep.
Monday night's Christmas Eve papal Mass was the first held with a new, energy-saving lighting system for the largest church in Christendom. It employs 100,000 LEDs (light emitting diodes), using only 10 percent of the energy of the previous system.
On Christmas Day on Tuesday, Francis will deliver his twice-yearly "Urbi et Orbi" (to the city and the world) message from the central balcony of St. Peter's Basilica, the same balcony where he first appeared after his election on March 13, 2013.

Within the last year or 2 I've gotten strangely picky with my choice in nail color. I've talked about this before, but yeah, so these are it!
Extremely red xd! I like that Pink and light blue, is the color nice?
Jenny, is it possible for you to make a list of the names of the nail polishes?
The colors you have looking nice, I like the chanel red a lot and the dior mint is super cute but tbh I couldn\'t live with just those few colors!
Haha I understand, my friend has like 20x's as many as I do. I used to have more but I just don't feel comfortable wearing various colors (like purples or rich blues, etc.) :) So I just keeo around my #1 favorites!
you have a great collection. In Brazil, we have many brands of nail polish and many, many colors too. I have 100 nails polishs.
If you're disappointed with nail polish going bad or gloppy, you should invest in a nail polish thinner. I recommend the one from Seche Vite. I have a HUGE collection of nail polish and of course some goes bad without usage, but when I use thinner it goes back to being like it's a brand new bottle of nail polish. It's great and saved countless bottles of nail polish in my collection! Some of which I've had for a 3 years now. Nail polish can last practically forever if you take care of it ^_^ I really recommend you try it if you're don't like throwing away bottles before they're all used up!
I'm a big fan of your blog btw! What happened to the Sally Hansen Wined Up nail polish? Did it go bad? I've been interested in getting it since you posted about it before.
Totally agree with the thinner. My salon actually did this for me a few times with it and it worked for about a month at a time but then would get gloppy again. Maybe the glass was cracked?
Oh I used up my Wined Up already xD! It was my FAVORITE last autumn! It's a gorgeous color.
That's a lot of nail polish.
Actually lately I really like the nail polish from Etude House. It's a Korean brand and I really like their green and purple colors. I never see those colors in the shade I got back home.
Bought two pairs of each, so I hope they will last me a long time!
Étude House makes gorgeous products!
i have a lot of nail polishes and some are dried up as well =(.. but i think its a waste to throw it away >.
You keep em even when dried and old? Committed to your polish!
I have so many nail polishes I have to get rid of… It's so hard to choose between the polishes I want to wear, but I always fear I'll get bored of just a few colors, sigh.
That's how I used to feel too. Then I started not feeling myself in many colors like purples and other bright colors and realized keeping them around just made me feel guilty because I hated wearing those shades so they never got used. So I tossed out a BUNCH last year and tend to still stay in the reds, mints, golds categories.
