Q: Using defaultdict to replace try and/or if statements in python I have recently found and started using default dictionaries to replace several more bulky constructs. I have read in 'the zen of python' that one of the key points of python is "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it."
Based on that criteria (or perhaps more practically based on memory usage, or speed) which of the following (or something totally different) would be best? I have a hunch that the first is correct, but would like other people's opinions.
my_dict = defaultdict(int)
for generic in iterable:
    my_dict[generic] +=1

or:
my_dict = {}
for generic in iterable:
    if generic not in my_dict:
        my_dict[generic] = 1
    else:
        my_dict[generic]+=1

or:
my_dict = {}
for generic in iterable:
    try:
        my_dict[generic] += 1
    except(KeyError):
        my_dict[generic] = 1

Same can be said of using my_dict = defaultdict(list) and using append functions. Assume that multiple for loops, or other conditionals are used rather than simply counting generic values from a single iterable as that would obviously have different features.

A: If you insist on using a dictionary or defaultdict, the first one is the best. For counting, however, there's a lovely class called Counter in collections:
>>> from collections import Counter
>>> c = Counter()
>>> for generic in iterable:
...     c.update(generic)

Or even shorter:
>>> c = Counter(iterable)

A: As Paulo Almeida commented, for the example you posted the "obvious" solution is to use a collections.Counter:
from collections import Counter
my_dict = Counter(iterable)

And that's it.
As for the other snippets you posted, and assuming the my_dict[key] += 1 was just for the example and your general question is about "how to best populate a dict": collections.defaultdict is the right choice for homogeneous dicts (same type of values for all keys) where the type has a default value (numeric zero, empty string, empty list...). The most common use case I can think of is for populating a dict of lists (or sets or other containers).
Now when neither collections.Counter nor collections.defaultdict solve your problem, you have three possible patterns:

*

*look before

*try/except KeyError

*dict.setdefault(key, value)
The try/except solution will be faster if you expect the key to already exist - a try/except block is very quick to setup but costly when the exception is raised. As far as I'm concerned I don't recommand it unless you are very very very sure about what your data looks like now and what they will look like in the future.
The "look before" solution has an almost constant cost, and while not free it's still quite cheap. That's really your safest bet.
the dict.setdefault() solution has about the same cost as the "look before" one, BUT you also have the constant cost of instanciating a default object, that will often be thrashed immediatly. It was a common pattern some years ago but since the collection.defaultdict appeared it's of rather marginal use, not to say mostly useless.

A: I created a script to test the performance of these 3 ways according to a situation in which I needed to choose the most performant way. Of course, the results will vary depending on the data you need to work with.
from collections import defaultdict
import random
import time

# build data
data = []
for x in range(0, 1000):
    data.append(
        { "name": "performance test", "company_id": random.randint(1, 9999), "platform": { "name": "stack", "last_name": "overflow" } }
    )

def perf_defaultdict():
    t0 = time.time()
    d = defaultdict(lambda:[])
    for x in data:
        d[x['company_id']].append(x['platform'])
    t1 = time.time()
    total = t1-t0
    print('defaultdict', total)
    return d

def perf_ifelse():
    t0 = time.time()
    d = {}
    for x in data:
        if x['company_id'] in d:
            d[x['company_id']].append(x['platform'])
        else:
            d[x['company_id']] = [x['platform']]
    t1 = time.time()
    total = t1-t0
    print('if else', total)
    return d

def perf_tryexcept():
    t0 = time.time()
    d = {}
    for x in data:
        try:
            d[x['company_id']].append(x['platform'])
        except KeyError:
            d[x['company_id']] = [x['platform']]
    t1 = time.time()
    total = t1-t0
    print('try/except', total)
    return d

# run
d1 = perf_defaultdict()
d2 = perf_ifelse()
d3 = perf_tryexcept()

Output 1:
defaultdict 0.0003848075866699219
if else 0.0002579689025878906
try/except 0.0004780292510986328

Output 2:
defaultdict 0.0005650520324707031
if else 0.00036215782165527344
try/except 0.00080108642578125

Output 3:
defaultdict 0.0006802082061767578
if else 0.0004029273986816406
try/except 0.0008919239044189453

In this case, defaultdict performed better.

How Accuracy is Increased by the Micro Ingredient Bucket Scale of a COMPONENTER®
Flexible connectors. Wiring. Butterfly valves. All of these connections have the propensity to influence a scale. Anywhere there's a force that's applied to a scale, it's going to change the readout in weight to some degree.In certain applications, scale accuracy becomes absolutely critical. Each time you make a connection to a scale hopper, it adds a degree of inaccuracy. Every time you make a connection to a scale (whether it's a piece of wiring, a piece of seal-tight the wiring is going through or a compressed air hose) the scale can be affected.
In this post, we'll explain how our COMPONENTER® systems are designed to minimize the tension that creates deviation in the scale weight. When dealing with micro and minor ingredients, this design can absolutely translate into consistency and quality in an end product.
A COMPONENTER® is designed so that utilities' influences are minimized
The bucket scale of an AZO COMPONENTER® is a free-floating bucket that is turned upside down during operation. This bucket is paired with the machine's load cell in such a way that the ingredients are weighed in the most appropriately-sized container. When a unit is designed for a particular ingredient volume and weight in mind, the bucket and screw feeder are both selected so that the ingredient weighments are as accurate as possible.
In addition, all the connections that would greatly influence the scale are contained in a way that prevents stress and influence on the load cell. Grommets prevent pulling from the outside of the cover that encloses load cells and utilities. Valves, electrical wiring and seal-tight could otherwise affect the weight readout to larger degrees than they do with a COMPONENTER®. Compressed air fittings would also influence the bucket scale, but the contents beneath this cover are designed to circumnavigate this.
When weighing thousands of pounds and operating bulk scales with large weigh hoppers, the connections and utilities (that add tenths of a pound to a final reading) may not be of critical concern to a readout. They might even be a drop in the bucket by comparison. Still, exerting pressure on a weighing device when making micro-weighments inherently alters these weighments to the point of noticeable inaccuracy.
A circular COMPONENTER with a bucket scale (located inside the hopper). Wiring (located inside the box to the left of the hopper) is organized so as not to affect the bucket scale that is weighing material.
Consistency and product quality is a result of intelligent design
Consistent product measurements give you a quality result in the end. We've mentioned before that automated batching or mixer-feeding or ingredient-feeding systems reduce and, in some cases, outright eliminate the tedious manual weighing that is often synonymous with product inconsistencies. As soon as you start handling minor and micro additives manually, sooner or later you're going to introduce manual errors.
Still, when you are making a formula on a production-size scale with many components that have to be portioned together in accordance with the formula to make a repeatable recipe batch to batch (day in and day out), you have to have an effective system of dosing and weighing to pull it all off.
Having utilities and connections (that would otherwise interfere with weighments) designed and arranged with accuracy in mind gives you that much more of an advantage when incorporating minor and major additives into your process. If you want the same amount, every time — batch after batch after batch — a system like an AZO COMPONENTER® keeps these influences contained in a way to ensure high-quality consistent products. The fewer influences that affect scale accuracy means more accurate processes altogether.
If you'd like to hear more about our COMPONENTER® systems, feel free to download the free e-Guide available on our site. You can also contact our team of sales engineers for any other queries on automating ingredients or conveying materials. AZO has decades of experience in the ingredient automation world and tons of topics we've covered on our blog.

Description This book tells the story of how one primary school community worked to build a learning environment that is inclusive, humane and enabling for everybody, a place free from the damaging effects of fixed ability thinking and practices. It describes how, in just a few years, the school (once in special measures) grew into a thriving community, with distinctive views of learning, curriculum and pedagogy, monitoring and accountability that found expression in every aspect of school life. By Mandy Swann, Alison Peacock, Susan Hart & Mary Jane Drummond.

"This will undoubtedly turn out to be amongst the most important educational books of the decade. Our capacity to respond, both individually and collectively, to its key insights and messages will profoundly affect not just the quality of our schools, but of our society for years to come.
Engagingly and eloquently written, it exposes the intellectual bankruptcy and human destructiveness of widely held concepts of 'ability' and offers a richly textured, practical account of how one school moved from 'failure' to OfSTED 'outstanding' by committing itself to the practicability of a morally inspiring, educationally convincing alternative.
"This is an inspiring and reviving book. It reminds us why people come into education - to make a difference for children. To make a deep difference we have to organize education differently. It describes a school that vibrates with learning in an atmosphere of deep humanity and care. Its practices are light years away from the measuring, labelling, targeting, and testing structures that have become our recent national norm. The school as a whole community transforms people."

Ron's work is the product of a lifetime of investigation into the Nature of Reality, and the outcome of many, many thousands of hours of guided spiritual development by his Teachers, and by the Grace of Spirit. For Ron the work was and remains a full and continuous immersion; and is also the product of many years of unceasing service with those seeking guidance, healing, and creative visioning.
Ron's work as a Spiritual Guide is to develop those who study with him by bringing each trainee "Home- to their Spirit Within." This movement to Self is a patient and gradual unfolding founded in the Power of Love. The revealed gifts and the journey are unique to each individual. There are no carbon copies of the Teacher-Guide. It is the Teacher-Guide's spiritual duty to reveal each student to himself, and to help each develop the gifts endowed by Spirit for the incarnation.
Ron's teachers had no techniques- they had only the Ocean of Creation in which they each lived and consciously demonstrated with Spirit what was possible beyond the confines of human intellect and its science of informed reality. In this work as given by Ron through the model of his teachers, is the inherent abyss, which remains impassable for the majority of seekers. There is no technique with its accompanying comfort zone that gives a degree, a title and a form. The work is achieved by looking inside the world of appearance to see what is. From this place of direct perception with Spirit, untainted from desired outcomes, the work is done.
The work in all of its applications is based on the willingness of the applicant to follow the movement of consciousness as it opens within: with humility, compassion, trust and fearlessness, joined with ruthless honesty and the willingness to persevere.
Of Course, not all who come for healing are "seriously ill." Many arrive for a revision of life with its innate purpose and sense of self reborn; for others it is the reorganization of the structure of life within family and relationship. In most cases we see the anguished-self that was carried deeply broken within becoming the ground for a compassionate life, opening outward with trust and vulnerability.
Ron began this work in 1980 with professionals in the Creative and the Performing Art. He taught them the tools for stabilizing within their Creative Self. The majority of the participants went on to achieve both great recognition and the highest awards in their individual creative fields. Over the years Ron has expanded this work to include all avenues of life and all professions.
Ron's formal training began in 1972.
Ron's spiritual life opened during his four-year apprenticeship with the Greek American artist Nicolas Buhalis. Under the guidance of Nicolas, he began "seeing" and spontaneously entering into the Living Creative Universe.
a Cuban brujo and healer.
It is through the grace of these four teachers and their many years of demonstrating the Reality of Spirit, their profound guidance based in Love, and many hundreds of hours of hands on work with him, that Ron became who he is today. (Note: In 1988 Hilda, Yolanda, and Orestes, left their material bodies within months of each other).
The years of training with Hilda, Orestes and Yolanda, were to culminate in Cyprus with the Spiritual Master Dr. Stylianos Atteshlis (popularly known as Daskalos and The Magus of Strovolos -see book by that title). Here all of the trainings and the diverse traditions Ron had been previously immersed in created a powerful foundation for what he was to receive from Daskalos. Ron worked closely with Daskalos from 1987 until his crossing over in 1995.
2006-2010 Ron worked closely with Dr. Bert Hellinger, the Father of Family Constellations, in Europe and the Americas from 2006 to 2010. During that time, in conjunction with the work of Dr. Hellinger, Ron developed The Healing Constellations, The Big Field and The Deep Field Constellations, The Holy Spiritual Constellations and The Sacred Spiritual Constellations - a form of direct intervention with Spirit for full Regenerative Healing for those dealing with life challenging situations.


I knew I would need a heartier breakfast for gym mornings, and I figure the extra calories and fat are ok as long as I'm working hard. Lately I've been getting headaches, probably from not having any caffeine or refined sugar these past few days. Thankfully they're minor headaches and I expect my body to come to terms with the new eating habits soon.
Protein and complex carbs are always good choices pre workout – so I've read anyway. I'm no dietician, but it makes sense to me 😉 I'm using some of the leftover roasted veggies that I made the other day to make this even more balanced and substantial. This recipe is for one serving, but it's easily doubled, tripled, ect.
Verdict: I worked out for two hours after having this breakfast, and it made a huge difference in my stamina, reaction time and my overall "good" feeling. I wasn't sluggish or tired and I felt great. After my workouts I eat an apple and 1/4 cup of raw walnuts to refuel so I'm not starving until lunch time. During the day I have more energy, I'm never starving and my body just works better – I'm loving it! Thanks for reading, enjoy!
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, lightly grease your ramekin.
2. Place a few TBSP of your preferred add ins, crack and egg and drop it on top. Bake in the oven 10 – 15 minutes or until just set – if it looks fully cooked in the oven, it will be over cooked later.
3. Serve with fresh fruit and whole grain toast, enjoy!
This looks lovely. I recently blogged a spinach egg bake, I love doing little things like this so much. I find they take a surprisingly long time to cook actually.
Thank you – and it takes little time to prepare which is great for our busy school mornings 🙂 I love your idea of spinach with eggs, I might have to try that. I'm always looking for more ways to make the most nutritionally dense meals.


Remote video monitoring is just one way to protect your construction site or industrial property from vandals, vagrants, and suspicious activity. This proactive solution can deter criminal activity before it happens. Trained operators watch your commercial property in real-time and can alert local authorities.
Video evidence verifies there is a crime in progress, which can lead to a faster response time from police. This is only one of the many benefits of remote video monitoring.
Stealth's remote video monitoring service can cost 25-50% less than an on-site security guard. Property managers with on-site security guards should consider a live video surveillance service to increase their bottom line.
Stealth client reports show an 85% decrease in daytime theft. Our monitoring centers stop an average of 25 crimes each month. Reducing theft and vandalism can save time and money.
Stealth has worked with various insurance providers for more than a decade. Our video monitoring solutions can be an acceptable alternative to on-site security guards.
Many insurance companies offer discounts for businesses with a security system in place. Live video monitoring can help decrease a property's risk and insurance premiums. We can work directly with a client's insurance providers.
Stealth clients do not have to worry about hidden costs or fees. Clients receive a detailed description of costs and services every month so they can create more accurate budgets.
Security guards have been known to fall asleep or get distracted while on the job. Our live video monitoring never takes a break. Our monitoring software is equipped with video analytics to inform a trained operator of suspicious activity. If operators need a break, their posts are taken over by trained relievers, ensuring your property is properly covered.
An on-site security guard has a limited view of a property. He cannot be everywhere at once. Patrolling a property can be difficult and potentially dangerous for security guards.
Remote monitoring operators can watch several areas of a property at the same time. Additionally, security cameras allow surveillance operators to view parts of a site from better vantage points than may be accessible to on-site guards.

'What would concern me? We need to win back the public' – Tipp hurling boss Sheedy
NEW TIPPERARY HURLING boss Liam Sheedy concedes that the onus is on his side to win back the public after a disappointing 2018.
The 2016 All-Ireland champions crashed out of Munster in early June without a win to their credit after defeat to Clare following two draws and a loss to Limerick.
That stormy period, on top of the National Hurling League final defeat to Kilkenny led to slatings from the Tipperary public for their demise in form.
Sheedy is in the Premier county's hot seat for the second time, eight years after departing as an All-Ireland winning manager.
And the Portroe man is well aware of what lies ahead.
"The one thing I will say – if you ask me what would concern me, I do think we need to win back the public," 48-year-old Sheedy said in a wide-ranging interview with local media, including The Nenagh Guardian.
"Our crowds have dwindled in most matches that I went to last year. Tipp were outnumbered time and time and time again, home or away. That's something that I will be looking at.

"From the first time we take to the pitch, I will be looking to get a team together that the county will follow because I do think back the last time, by the time we got to the end of the term, that team was being followed and I think it is really important that the county and all the supporters come in behind the team.
"We all know the work and effort that these guys put in and to be going out Sunday after Sunday and being outnumbered is something that we should not be proud of and certainly that's one thing I will be doing – trying to create a team that's worth following."
Noel McGrath dejected after that loss to Clare.
In further interviews with local media, Sheedy revealed that outgoing boss Michael Ryan gave him "the greatest push" to take the reins as his successor.
"Mick and I are great friends and very close," he told The Tipperary Star.
"He was been a huge support – we work together in Bank of Ireland and he said to me, go in Liam, bring a new voice and give it a go. He feels there is a good crop that has the potential to go and challenge."
He expressed his excitement at getting back into the thick of the action since making his decision and being ratified in the position.
"I probably haven't felt as good in years as I have in the last few days since I made the decision. My gut said, I am heading into my late forties now and I am getting a chance to manage my own county again and that's not an opportunity that a lot of people get.
"To me it is one of the best jobs in the country and here I am potentially turning it down. I spend a lot of time in the car and that gives you a lot of mind time where you are talking to yourself and it kept coming back to me.
"We are a proud GAA family and I just said here it goes. Since I made the decision, I have been buzzing."

Shift 2 Unleashed has been out for only a month, but EA is apparently looking to turn out another Need for Speed in near-record time. European retailer ShopTo.net has posted a product page for Need for Speed: The Run on the Xbox 360, complete with box art and a teaser trailer that reveals a November 18 launch date. The North American version of the video (embedded below) indicates a November 15 domestic launch for the game.


Baby E loves building things out of blocks, it's a really helpful parenting tool for me since we do not have television and she keeps herself occupied with these educational, open-ended toys. In a few short weeks our newborn will be joining us, boy will I need things to keep her occupied! We received some CitiBlocs to review and baby E was really excited to play and build with them to her heart's content. We have a 50 block Hot Colors and 50 block Cool Colors Set, and the generous folks at CitiBlocs even sent us a 50 block Natural Color set since there were several missing pieces in the Hot Colors.
Wooden blocks are a rather classic toy, but the shape of these enables you to make very unique structures. They balance very well with the precisely cut long rectangular shape. My toddler still likes breaking more than building, especially if I'm present. So I've been making quite a few fun towers while she topples them over. Another favorite way to play is to line them all up like dominoes and see the chain reaction as they topple over. I think it is even more fun for older children who are better at balancing the blocks and thinking up their own designs, but they're great even for a three year old. It's never too early to develop their creative side!
One Eco-Babyz reader will win a CitiBlocs 50 block set in their choice of Hot, Cool, or Natural colors!
I love the eco-babyz blog. If I had to pick something to change I would say that the organization of the stuff along the sides is a bit hectic.
Blog's great. Perhaps the header and design could be more interesting.
I really like your blog! The only thing I would comment on might be all the buttons and images along the sides, I think it's a little busy but all blogs have that. Also, like PP mentioned, maybe better organization on the side content.
Thank you for hosting the giveaways! I learn a lot about different companies through the reviews/giveaways!
I really love your blog but I always wish there were smaller or quicker loading images as the widgets take a bit of time to load themselves but I don't know if it's something that can be easily done. Thanks for the great blog & giveaways!
There is nothing that I do not like.
There is nothing I don't like I love this blog. However, I can name something that gives me great delight when I open any blog--I love to be surprised by pictures of cute babies and kids up to cute shenanigans. Sometimes I laugh out loud at the little faces.
I love the blog! I love the giveaways! The header/background could be improved a little bit to be more modern.
I think you have a really great blog. It's well organized and you have great giveaways. The only thing I could see changing is maybe the design and header to make it more visually interesting.

Dillon delights in dramatic winner
Interview Jody Dillon
Stradbally co-captain, and match winner, Jody Dillon joked he was 'beyond Cloud 9' after Sunday's dramatic final.
Speaking after the game, the full-forward had all the hallmarks of someone struggling to come to terms with what had just happened. "People have told me, older people in Stradbally, that a county final is the best thing you can achieve" said Dillon, through a smile beaming right across his face.
"To be honest with you, when that goal went in, and I saw Eddie putting the whistle to his mouth, I just dropped to the ground, I didn't know what to say to be honest."
So, what as going through his head at that fateful moment? "I had to hit the net, there was only seconds left, so I had to hit the net. Thank God it went in!"
Two points up at half time, Stradbally had to weather a Portlaoise storm after the break, but Dillon always had faith in his team mates. "We knew coming out that Portlaoise weren't going to lie down, they definitely don't do that.
"From the start of the year, when we went to Wexford for a training weekend, we formed this bond that hasn't been in Stradbally for years, so we're just proud of all the lads, it's just savage.

I live in Brighton with my daughters Daisy and Hunny and their dad, lovely Rob, (a name given to him by my friends, not me). I work from home and am on an eco-warrior mission to become self-sufficient by 50. We spend our summer weekends going on adventures in our campervan. Winter is spent getting grouchy with each other and counting the days till we can be in a field somewhere again.
Hmmm… I've just turned 41 (eek), have an allotment growing weeds, go to lots of festivals – bit of a hippy I guess, probably need therapy, and have amazing friends who I could not survive without. Oh, and I LOVE dressing up!
I'm contacting you from Chilled in a Field Festival. Thanks for listing us on a field somewhere blog.
We've announced our line up (below). We'd be grateful if you could add it to your blog. We've also got some description text if that's helpful.

Band Vans
Interview with Cerberus Shoal
Posted on September 26 by Punk Band Vans
I interviewed Chriss Sutherland (bass guitar, vocals), and Tom Rogers (drums) of Cerberus Shoal from Boston/Portland, Maine, about van touring. Cerberus Shoal was active from 1994 through the mid-2000s.
What was the catalyst, motivation, or inspiration for getting a van in the first place, specifically?
Chriss – We wanted to tour the U.S. and therefore needed a van to do so. There really isn't much more to it.
Where/from whom did you get it? Did you know the background of this van when you purchased it?
Chriss – The first van came from a used car dealership up in central Maine where some of us were from. I had my uncle look at it, and he gave me the skinny as to what he thought it might need for repair.

Tell us about the van, year, make, model, color – did it need work, and did you do any DIY, build a loft, etc.? Did you give it a name? Who maintained it?
Chriss – The van was a white GMC painter's vans with a sliding door and no side windows. It only had two seats up front. It was probably an '84 or something like that. We weren't talented enough to make a loft so we just stuck the gear in the back loose and really unsafe like… we plunked a soft shitty couch/futon type of thing in the middle facing the sliding door and that was it. The van was in my name and I maintained it though we used collective funds. It had no name… we weren't like that.
Any funny or unique features?, – for example, we had a band member make a jumbo cup holder, and installed the stereo into the glove compartment, so it was hidden.
Chriss – Nothing really. It had three gears on the steering column ("three on the tree"). We put some weird posters and stickers inside, but it was all utility baby.
What's the longest drive you ever did between shows? What was the first trip you took with it?
Chriss – The longest was probably Yellowstone to Chicago or something like that. It's hard to remember as it was twenty five years ago.
Tom – or possibly Richmond, VA to Miami, FL…during our first tour in the summer of 1995, only Chriss and I had our licenses out of the four of us, Chriss doing a majority of the driving.
Chriss – The first trip was to NYC to play at ABC No Rio.
What did you listen to in the van?
Chriss – Not much because it didn't have a stereo system. We brought a little battery power tape player and would jam Neurosis and Iconoclast.
What did you do for entertainment on drives between shows?
Chriss – We did a lot of talking. We were friends and we would discuss stuff… like our feelings, dreams, hopes, fears, etc.
Did you sleep in the van, people's houses, or motels/hotels?
Chriss – We did it all: slept in, on top, and around the van.. we slept in every type of house and apartment you can think of, but at that time rarely motels/hotels as that was not punk and we had no money.
Tom – I'll never forget the time we pulled over on the highway in Texas at night on our way from San Antonio to El Paso, and two of us slept on top of the van, the others inside the van. Another time waking up in our sleeping bags at a rest area in the grass in Wisconsin, bystanders looking at us like we were crazy.
Were there any van rules you had? Or band rules in general?
Chriss – No rules as that was not who we were. We tried to take care of each other and do everything possible to get to the show.
Do you have a classic nightmare van/police/mechanical/crash/fire story from tour or any other shows?
Chriss – At that particular time, and with that particular van, we were very blessed, and it seemed that we had someone watching over us. I think that the intense boredom of downtime between shows in tiny rural zones with no money sticks out most in my mind. It was very adventurous… we once broke into Thermopolis Hot Spring Park and went swimming at night… definitely shouldn't have been swimming there… we would swim anywhere.
Tom – Yes! Haha, Thermopolis, Wyoming. We had 8 days off and decided to see how far we could go out west and make it back to our next show in Wisconsin. We ended up spending one day in Sturgis, South Dakota, entertained at the world's largest biker rally, visited Badlands National Park, SD, sightseeing in Yellowstone National Park, seeing Devil's Tower, WY & as Chriss stated, sneaking into Thermopolis to swim in the world's largest hot spring.
Where did the van end up?
Chriss – I can't exactly remember. We sold it to buy another newer van.
Any other entertaining tour stories?
Chriss – We sweated a lot in that van, and brought the real punk stuff to many states in the mid nineties when emocore wasn't popular and young men struggled to make their feelings known. Our band was amazing!
Tom – One of our Los Angeles shows was eventful, we played the Silver Lake Lounge and met the actor Vincent Gallo and Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante. They were there together to see one of the other bands on the bill, but caught our set and loved it. Vincent invited us to party at his place in the Hollywood Hills, but we didn't end up going…can't remember why!
We were always searched & questioned (sometimes separately) when trying to cross the border from the States into Canada. During that first tour in 1995, we didn't have the work permit to perform in Canada and I'm still flagged to this day, 25 years later because of that.
European tour of 2001: our rental van was broken into twice, once in Aarhus, Denmark and once in Marseille, France. Fortunately, all of our equipment was already inside the venue and only some records/CD's, & my camera was stolen.
How can we help promote any releases?
Chriss – You can shout out SNAEX (Tom Rogers and I are in this band now) and our new vinyl record "The Nameless and The Named" on El Gran E. Records!

Q: I cant update my object value , for my Java script game (canvas) This is my Constructor for game enemy:
enter code here:

/// my constructor for enemy
function masinaCon(x,y,width,height,color){
    this.x=x;
    this.y=y;
    this.width=width;
    this.height=height;
    this.color=color;
    this.draw=function(){
        ctx.fillStyle=color;
        ctx.fillRect(x,y,width,height);
    };

}
// color of contsructor
function color(){
    return 'rgb('+Math.floor(Math.random()*1000)+','+Math.floor(Math.random()*100)+','+Math.floor(Math.random()*180)+')';
}

// array of enemy
var niz=[];

///////////////////////////// end of code
i filled the array(var niz=[]) with 10 objects and i  wanted to move the third object 2pixels down, so that repeats in every frame, in order for it to look like a game(falling effect => niz[2].y+=2;)
And when i print, the cordinates in the object are increasing but, when i print them(the objects), there is no change(visually), could someone help me out with this.

A: It simple. The x and y references the original ones from the constructor. Just update the x and y inside the draw function to reference the object ones using this
this.draw=function(){
    ctx.fillStyle=color;
    ctx.fillRect(this.x,this.y,this.width,this.height); // x->this.x etc
};
