Q: Sound playing through speaker and headphones I have an Asus ROG G752VY dual booted with win 10 and Ubuntu 15.10
Everything works fine in windows. Switching to Ubuntu the speakers work fine but as soon as I plug in the headphones nothing worked.
I added
options snd-hda-intel model=asus-mode5 (I tried asus-mode1 through to 8 too)
to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
the headphones now work beautifully, but sound is still played through the speakers.
Running cat /proc/asound/card0/codec* | grep Codec I get Codec: Realtek ALC668
Also, the built-in microphone isn't working, though it works fine in Windows.
Any ideas?
EDIT: Auto-mute is enabled in alsamixer
EDIT 2: After looking in pavucontrol even though the headphones are plugged in, it thinks they are not plugged in. It appears to be treating the headphones as an extension of the speaker as when I change the "speaker" volume in alsamixer it changes the volume through the headphones too.

A: Firstly, keep options snd-hda-intel model=asus-mode5 added to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
Disable pulseaudio's auto spawning capabilities and kill all instances
$ echo autospawn = no >> /etc/pulse/client.conf
$ killall pulseaudio

check if there is anything else using the sound card
$ sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*

make sure you kill anything that comes up and stop it from respawning too, how to do this will depend on what the program is.
Install alsa-tools-gui
$ sudo apt-get install alsa-tools-gui
$ sudo hdajackretask

When the GUI loads, click "Show unconnected pins" and override the first unconnected pin to be a headphone jack and apply the settings. Daemonise pulseaudio puslseaudio -D and test the sound, repeat this for all unconnected ports until you find the right one.
Once you have found the one the correct jack, click "Install boot override" and restart to make sure everything works. Now edit the pulseaudio config file and remove the line added earlier to allow respawning again.
Until you reboot, volume can only modified using alsamixer rather than the usual GUI component. After rebooting, everything goes back to normal.


I am a newbie here, and have one quick question regarding parameter settings.
I usually use normal quality (0.1mm) for print, and all prints worked fine.
For the last few days, I tried high quality print (0.06mm resolution), and all the prints failed: warping on corners, flimsy support, etc.
Print size was roughly 190mm x 135mm x 50mm, and brim was set to 10mm.
I used CURA's default settings for plate temperature, nozzle temperature, etc.
What would be the best parameter settings for high quality (0.06mm resolution) PLA printing?
I have found the base settings to be spot on. What are you using to secure the print to the buildplate?
There are many ways, such as, Hairspray, Tapes, PVA slurry, Glue stick wiped down and geert_2 has a novel salt method.

For the folks in the Lone Star State, Independence Day does not land on July 4th like everyone else in America, but instead on March 2nd when the Republic of Texas gained their Independence from Mexico in 1836. If you think you have more state pride than a Texan, well, you probably have never met somebody who was born and bred in this great state, because these folks have more pride in their nation state than anyone else. In honor of this important day and for the state of Texas, we are going to show you some of the great Texas gear that FinishLine.com has to offer.
If it's America's team, it's most certainly Texas' team, and no other sports franchise in Texas has quite the fan base as the Dallas Cowboys do. So what better way to show off that Texas pride than with some sweet Dallas Cowboys gear? The New Era Dallas Cowboys NFL Turnover Snapback is the perfect item to do such, and the Dallas Cowboys Star logo screams pride for the Lone Star State.
Being a Texan is so cool, that you can even name a big leagues sports franchise after just that. The Houston Texans had a breakthrough season last year, and Texans gear is the perfect way to show your team spirit and your state pride at the same time. The Nike Houston Texans Washed Tee sports "Houston Texans" right across the chest, making it the ideal option to show how much you love your state.
Sporting the official colors of the state's flag, it doesn't get much more Texan than the Texas Rangers. The recognizable "T" logo on the New Era Texas Rangers MLB Snapback Hat will show everyone what state you love the most. For the ladies, the Nike Texas Rangers MLB I Love Tee does exactly what the name implies, and that's to show everyone that you are Texan girl and proud of it!
So head on over to FinishLine.com now and pick yourself up some gear to represent the state you love the most. Oh and we almost forgot, happy 177th birthday Texas!


Well the ABS labour market figures for December were released today and they're very good news for Australia with the unemployment rate falling to 5.1%, down from 5.2% the previous month, with some 29,000 more Australians employed in the month of December.
Now this is the 17th month in a row that Australia has recorded an unemployment figure below 6%, and of course this means that the best Christmas present that many Australians got was getting a job. And it's good news for both those families and it's good news for the economy.
What I would say at this point is that, whilst these are good figures and are a reflection of a strong economy, there is still more to be done if we're going to lock in these low unemployment numbers.
And throughout this year the Government will be ensuring that our workplace relations initiatives get into place so that we can protect small business, so that we can encourage businesses to employ more people, remove the problems that have been caused by the unfair dismissal laws being blocked by the Labor Party over many years and more than 30 separate occasions.
So these are very good figures for the Australian economy. They're good news for Australians but there is more to be done and the Howard Government will continue to work throughout 2005 to ensure that we get an even lower number of – in the unemployment numbers, more Australians into work and continue to build a strong economy on the back of productivity growth.
QUESTION: How low can they go?
MAL BROUGH: Well that's a good question. I mean it wasn't that long ago that they were saying that six and seven percent were in fact going to be fulltime – full employment in this country. And here we have now 5.1. I mean we really have to strive to get a four in front of this number and I think that's achievable. We know that the unfair dismissal laws, there's any number of surveys of business that says that tens of thousands of Australians would get work, be in jobs, if the Labor Party and the minor parties would get out of our way in the Senate.
And of course we know that takes effect from 1 July, but we hope to be able to put those fair dismissal laws into place before then. And of course there are a range of other measures there which are built on productivity which can drive the unemployment figures even lower.
QUESTION: What will the Government be doing to get [indistinct]?
MAL BROUGH: Well it hasn't been for want of trying. I mean we've spent over 30 times now and we'll continue to work with the minor parties in particular and try and overcome their objections to this legislation. But we remain steadfast in the knowledge that the laws, as they currently stand, are in fact an inhibitor to employment. We hear it all the time on the ground. It's what all the major business associations tell us so we will not for one moment rescind from our position of ensuring that we have decent laws in place to protect both the employer and the employee.
QUESTION: Summer is traditionally a time when there's a lot of casuals put on in the retail sector. Would you expect to see January continue to drop when those figures come out the next time?
MAL BROUGH: Well we've seen that the job ads in fact weren't as strong but then of course both Christmas Day and New Year's Day fell on a Saturday which of course is the big day for advertising jobs.
Look, the indicators are that the labour market is continuing to grow and grow in a sustainable fashion. We'll have to wait and see next month's figures but our aim is to continue to produce the economy and the confidence in the economy and with interest rates remaining steady, with the free trade agreement now in place with the US which means that obviously there's more opportunities coming in place, with the reduction in our marginal tax rates coming into effect from July, I think throughout 2005 we have the very real opportunity to see further inroads to the unemployment numbers.
Whether that's January specifically or not, let's just wait and see.
QUESTION: Are you making any predictions at this point?
MAL BROUGH: Look we don't make predictions. What we do is say that the one thing we know for certain is that the Howard Government will continue to maintain a strong economy. We'll do everything we can to produce jobs growth in our economy that is productivity-based, with wages that are productivity-based so that we get more people into work that is sustainable.
QUESTION: More people with more money in their pocket as a result of working means more money going around in the economy which has got to put pressure on interest rates though, doesn't it?
MAL BROUGH: Well look, obviously the housing position has come off the boil a bit, which is good news. The Treasurer has been saying that for some time. It means that we have now a sustainable position in housing, so that it's still growing but not at the rates which and the growth particularly in prices which I guess were unsustainable in the long term.
So look, I don't comment specifically on interest rates but what I would say to you is that everything that this government is doing is ensuring that there is a strong economy, there is a balanced budget with a surplus which means that ultimately we are not putting any external pressure on interest rates.

Sheldon Rempal 'Frustrated' Through Early Part of Rookie Camp
September 11, 2018 By John Hoven
Following two productive seasons with Clarkson University, Sheldon Rempal signed a two-year Entry Level Contract with the Kings back in March after being courted by several NHL teams. After a summer of workouts and preparation, he now stands on the doorstep of possibly reaching his dream.
At 23-years-old, he's one of the older prospects participating in Rookie Camp this year, yet he comes with high offensive expectations. Having not been able to fully showcase his talents just yet is something several have noted, including Assistant GM Mike Futa, who had this to say during our recent discussion with him:
"We've had so many opportunities [this weekend] where guys who have worked hard at scoring — and scored in the past — weren't in in the right spots and having trouble here. Take one of the leading scorers in college hockey, Sheldon Rempal, and I'm sure he'd be the first one to tell you that he was in some spots where he normally pulls the trigger. More often than not, those are going to go in. I think it's about staying positive, but at the same point, not taking losing lightly."
Rempal certainly has a shot at making the Kings opening night roster, especially with Gabe Vilardi having ongoing back issues – two concepts we explored in detail here.
With Game 3 vs. the Golden Knights looming, the final contest at this year's Rookie Faceoff event in Las Vegas, we checked in with Rempal to gather some thoughts on his experience thus far.
Rempal on how he feels he's fitting in:
"I feel pretty good out on the ice. It's definitely not easy to come in with a brand new group of players who have never played together before. I think that makes everybody a little nervous; and a lot of these younger guys were just drafted, as well. On the ice, I feel really good. I didn't think anything was really clicking in the past two games though, which is obviously frustrating. You want to have success right away, [as you're getting ready] to start the season. But is what it is and just kind of to deal with it."
On if he spent any time speaking with his center, Akil Thomas, in advance of Game 2, trying to maybe improve the communication on their line:
"We did spend some time talking, just not so much about hockey. I know he was a little bit nervous going into [the first game], so I kind of just – knowing I'm a little older than him, I tried to calm him down a little bit. And I thought we played a little better against the Coyotes. I thought we had a little bit more energy. We actually had the potential to make some good plays but we just weren't able to get the bounces."
On coach Stothers saying he felt the team played a more structured game in Game 2:
"I think the coaches did a good job of doing a lot of video with us [between Games 1 and 2], just so guys were a little more aware of what they're doing wrong and stuff. I think we definitely did make a big improvement really, structure-wise, and it showed."
On the idea that sometimes in Camp it can be a little bit cliquey, with the college guys sticking together and likewise for the junior players:
"I think the guys have done a pretty good job of meshing right away. I tried to introduce myself to mostly everyone. I think most of the guys here have chatted with basically everyone here, which is which is good to see. I know what you mean, though, when sometimes people stick together. I think we've done a good job of avoiding that."
On what he's doing to keep his mind off of the fact that he has a legitimate chance (even if perhaps it's less than 50%) of making the Kings roster and just doing what he needs to do during Camp:
"Making the team was definitely my goal. Being a free agent and selecting LA, that was the goal all along. I had two more years of college eligibility; to come out early, I definitely want to make the leap and jump right into the lineup, rather than playing in the American League first. I think everybody wants to do that. I think going forward, just having a couple more skates and starting to produce a little more, it's kind of frustrating when you're held off the scoresheets both nights. I'm a player that likes to make plays and produce points."
On if seeing what Alex Iafallo was able to do with the Kings after signing a free agent contract with the team had any bearing on his thought process:
"I look up to Alex. He did an awesome job of coming out of college last year and jumping right in; plus I knew when he signed with the Kings he also had a couple other offers, as well. I think it's just all about how you play; and that's what's kind of frustrating. You want to play your best. I thought I played well [in Game 2]. Yet, like I said before, I didn't produce like the way I wanted to. So it's frustrating."

Hello, I am an amateur photographer and painter. I would like to see if I could earn some money with that passion and am looking for someone who can boost the marketing of these. I have some prints uploaded at [đăng nhập để xem URL], made some first t-shirt designs on [đăng nhập để xem URL] and am offering some of my paintings on etsy.com.


You own a small business and you are trying to build it. You are earning enough to keep going, but it is still early, and there isn't a lot of extra money for marketing after you pay bills and reinvest in the business. You know, though, that marketing is critical to helping the business grow. Sound familiar? It should, because it is a dilemma faced by so many small business owners who did not have a huge infusion of cash to invest when they started up. For those business owners in that situation, here are some simple steps you can take to market your business with little or no cash outlay.
Quick pitches are very brief speeches that are packed with carefully-chosen power words and phrases that immediately define your business. They are also called elevator pitches, because they should be no longer than it takes to ride with someone in an elevator – no more than about 30 seconds.
One of their great benefits is that they don't over-tax the ever-shortening attention span of the average listener. The challenge is to generate interest in your product or service, so it is important to put the time into making every word count. Done well, this technique can translate into a great return on an investment of less than a minute!
Your community is filled with other small businesses, all trying to accomplish the same thing you are. Try to develop relationships with some of these business owners and see if you can agree to cross-promote. This means they will promote your business to their customers and vice versa. This technique works especially well in businesses that are somewhat related but not direct competitors. For example, I know of a locksmith service in Ft Lauderdale who developed cross-promotional relationships with several local used car dealers.
Remember, you are a member of a community. One of the most powerful ways to get the attention of the people in that community who could (and should) be your customers, is to give them something useful. Perhaps there is a particular cause that is important to the community to which you can contribute some volunteer time. Maybe there is a children's sports team you can sponsor. Whatever it is you choose to do, try to make it something that will resonate with the segment of the community you are trying to win as customers.
Networking is a constant process, and you don't see immediate results, but over time, this is a powerful way to build your business. Start with people you know. They can introduce you to others who can be helpful. Networking can help you raise you profile in the community which can lead to referrals, and increased business. And, speaking of referrals, don't be shy! Ask for them. Most people like to be helpful, and you may be surprised by how many referrals you get if you just ask for them.
Coupons are a simple way to help attract new or repeat customers to your business. The more times a customer comes in, the more chances you have at building lasting relationships that will be the mainstay of your business.
The nice thing about coupons is the financial control you have. Sure, you are giving something away, but only if someone makes a purchase, and you can set the percentage of discount so that your sale is still financially sound. Sometimes you may decide to take a bit of a loss on a coupon drive in order to generate a bigger splash, but that choice is always yours to make.
You know what you have to offer has value. You are positive that once people use your product or service, they will want to use it again. So, give it away! Whether you are selling products or services, people find "free" hard to resist. Done right, you will make it up in growth before you know it.

Our pellets deliver the optimal blend of micro and macronutrients and organic matter that work together to supplement your soil's natural ingredients and provide the ideal amount of nutrients that may be lacking. With this blend, the field's soil health improves, allowing the proper nutrients to be taken up by the plant to grow healthy and strong harvests.
A breakdown of our pelleted bio fertilizer shows some of the core ingredients of our product and its benefits to both fields and crops!
Organic matter is essential to the success of any field and crop. Not only does it provide essential, natural nutrients to your soil, but it also improves the overall quality of your soil. Organic matter helps reduce water loss by making the soil better able to absorb water and hold that water until needed by the plant. With a lack of organic matter, soil often becomes hardened and crusted, resulting in water running off the fields, rather than being absorbed and used by the crop.
Organic matter is at the very heart of our fertilizer product, making up 60-70% of its total makeup – meaning that for every one tonne of LaSalle pellets, you will be putting 1,323 – 1500 pounds of organic matter into your soil.
No one can debate the importance of nitrogen in your soil. It is one of the main building blocks to a healthy harvest, playing a large role in photosynthesis and providing one of the core elements to any plant's growth and maturity. Nitrogen deficiency makes itself known slowly – smaller yields and yellowing leaves which may not be immediately apparent.
LaSalle Agri Products contain the ideal amount of nitrogen for fields. For every 1 tonne of LaSalle Agri pellets, your field will receive 90-110 pounds of nitrogen, ensuring your crops have the essential building blocks to a healthy harvest. An added benefit of LaSalle's pellets is that the nitrogen is distributed in solid-state form, allowing for a 45% carry over into the first year and making it more effective as a long-term nitrogen source. Most competitors distribute nitrogen in the liquid form and average prices at fifty cents a pound – which is not only more money, but does not offer the carryover that solid-state form does. LaSalle product provides nitrogen at a less expensive option and is key to harvesting healthy crops – factors that will ultimately benefit your bottom line.
LaSalle Agri product offers farmers a means to provide consistent amounts of phosphate for fields and encouraging strong, healthy initial plant development. As one of the key components in plant growth, phosphate plays a significant role in photosynthesis. A good way to distinguish if your fields are phosphate deficient is the colouring of the leaves, with phosphate deficiency normally showing itself in a purple-red colour, particularly on the older leaves of the plant.
Within 1 tonne of LaSalle product, 70-170 pounds is phosphate.
With the efforts to reduce acid rain over that last three decades, the need for sulphur supplementation in North American soil has become increasingly important and is recognized as a growing area of concern for farmers.
Sulphur provides important support for your crops, including seed production, preventing stunted crop growth, and helping with photosynthesis. Should your soil be lacking in sulphur, your crops will display a yellowing colour, beginning with the newest leaves of the plant.
LaSalle Pellets is able to answer this growing need for sulphur supplementation that many fields are experiencing. Within 1 tonne of Agri Product, there is 18 pounds of sulphur that will be directly placed on your fields and used by your crops. It's a consistent amount of sulphur that helps avoid deficiency, resulting in better-balanced soil and greener crops, making your money and fertilizer investments go even further!
For any questions or further information, feel free to Contact Us!

Crush of the Week: Chris Pine
Meghan O'Keefe
I sometimes make the epic error of forgetting about Chris Pine.
How could this happen? He's articulate. He's talented. He's handsome. He's gallant. His eyes are so blue they are neon blue… He's Captain Kirk. I mean, he's literally the captain of the Enterprise. He's team leader. How can you forget him?
The thing is that Chris Pine is a team player.
If he's wooing Anne Hathaway in The Princess Diaries 2: A Royal Engagement (yes I love that movie), he smoothly lets Anne Hathway shine. If he's working on making wine in 1970s California (as he does in Bottle Shock), he'll play the callow youth to perfection, and give people like Alan Rickman the room they need to be…Alan Rickman. And if he's captaining the Enterprise, and he's working with Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, John Cho, Anton Yelchin, and Benedict Cumberbath….he leads the charge to make sure that he doesn't upstage anyone in a scene.
When he works with awesome people, he lets them be awesome and that's part of what makes him awesome.
I've worked and hung out with (and occasionally made out with) actors for a long time, and it's extremely rare to find someone who is charming, talented, and gracious to his or her fellow actors. Everyone who performs has a tiny bit of themselves that thirsts for the spotlight. It's natural. However, very few people can do their jobs well and put their egos in check so as to share the spotlight with their fellow actors and artists. Chris Pine is a really good actor, but he seems to have the strange disposition where he wants to let other good actors shine, too.
And that's kind of hot.
A friend of mine compared him to a young Harrison Ford recently and I think she's totally right.
He's got this earthy sort of confidence that's really attractive. He's not too cocky and he's not self-depricating. He's aware that's good-looking and talented, but he doesn't need to push it in your face.
His unassuming-ness belies how freaking hot he is.
Um…like…have you seen this photo from Details magazine:
I have the vapors. I have all the vapors. I even have Vicks vapor rub vapors–which are medicinal–but I need medicine to cure me from this sickness called "Pine Flu." It's this new disease I discovered where looking at Chris Pine in leather pants gives you a straight up fever.
Also, have you seen him in an apron:
I feel something cooking inside of me.
Have you seen him recently with a beard? He looks like a hot Civil War general. I don't know which side he's on–North or South–but I'm on it.
Basically, Chris Pine is empirically hot. Sometimes I'm too focused on Zachary Quinto or Benedict Cumberbatch to realize it, but he is.
Chris Pine is as hot as the volcano that Spock is almost stuck in during the beginning of Star Trek Into Darkness. That's hot how he is. You need some sort of space age anti-freeze to calm you down.
All I'm saying is I need to talk to someone–even if that person is the internet–about how hot Chris Pine is.

Just wondering if its possible to get cable granulator for $5000 or less. Can be used or a cheap China machine. The cheapest I've seen is around $10000 from China. Cheers.
there's usually a few stages to a complete machine, like a grinder, a blower, a magnetic sorter and something to seperate the plastic from the copper.
so it's quite an involved machine and I doubt you'd find anything even from china under $10,000 that would work well.
your best bet would be to go to industrial auction houses and hope to find one there second hand.
I'd be very surprised if one exists in Australia.
d be a few, I see granulated wire at my plastic recyclers place, but yeah it hasn't been seperated from the pvc yet, just granulated insulated wire.

PHOTOS: 7 BIG Disney World Construction Updates (Including Work on the NEW Daytime Show)
By Jenna Saxton 2 Comments
It's time to check in on all the construction going on around Walt Disney World again!
It's time to check out all the construction progress!
Last week we checked in on the construction progress over at Magic Kingdom and Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, and now we've got more updates on the major attractions, shows, and more coming to the parks soon! So, let's get to it!
TRON: Lightcycle Run
Over the past few weeks, we've been watching as Disney installs blue netting on the exterior of the new ride TRON: Lightcycle Run in Tomorrowland. And, we spotted more work being done recently! The large construction crane may be gone, but there is still plenty of equipment lifting workers up to the canopy to continue working on the netting.
Work is underway!
Plus, it's starting to extend over to the next canopy as well!
There's a lot of track here!
While there does appear to be a lot of progress happening on the attraction, Disney still hasn't shared an update on when the ride will officially open in the park, but we're keeping an eye out!
Read more about TRON: Lightcycle Run here!!
Disney KiteTails
Last month, Disney announced that there would be a NEW daytime show coming to Disney's Animal Kingdom called Disney KiteTails! The show is set to debut for the Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary celebrations on October 1st and we're starting to see the beginnings of construction in the Discovery River Amphitheater.
Disney KiteTails Construction
Once open, guests will be able to enjoy a show filled with GIANT three-dimensional kites in the shape of Disney characters like Simba, Zazu, Baloo, and King Louie over the water. Plus, performers will be flying their own windcatchers and kites at the front of the theater.

Of course, we'll be keeping track of the rest of the construction in the area and bring you a look at the new show once it debuts!
Read more about this new show here!!
Over at EPCOT, the 2021 Food & Wine Festival may have kicked off, but there is still plenty of construction going on around the park! Most recently we noticed that the water beds in Future World West had been drained and the fountains were turned off.
Waterbeds drained
We've seen Disney drain fountains and water beds from time to time for routine maintenance and they're normally back to flowing pretty soon after.
And, more work is underway to prepare for the 50th Anniversary celebrations! Beginning October 1st, all four park icons will transform into "beacons of light" and Spaceship Earth's makeover is already well underway.
Now you can find more of the lights that will illuminate the icon on the bottom.
Lights added to Spaceship Earth
Here's a quick refresher on what it will look like at night — the lights will add purple, blue, and green colors which will match the lighting in the rest of the new entrance area.
We've previously seen the lights installed towards the top of Spaceship Earth, so there are only a few more sections to go before it will be ready to glow in October.
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
We also spotted more construction on the new attraction, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind! It had been a long time since we had seen progress on the exterior of the building, but over the past few weeks, Disney has been adding new roofing. And, now there's even more!
Guardians of the Galaxy Construction
The installation hasn't been going fast by any means (we've been seeing roofing slowly added for the past three weeks), but we're starting to see how this building will transform into what's depicted in the concept art!

Disney hasn't shared an update on when they expect the ride to open, so it could still be a little while before we get to travel through the Marvel universe.
Read all about Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind here!
Monorail Station
And, in case you haven't been keeping up with us, the EPCOT Monorail line is set to reopen on July 18th (!!) and it looks like the EPCOT station got a bit of a sprucing up just in time! Now you can find a brand new sign hanging over the entrance that provides information on where you'll be able to travel.
EPCOT Monorail Sign
Just keep in mind that the EPCOT Monorail only provides direct transportation to the Transportation and Ticket Center and you'll need to hop on another monorail to get to Magic Kingdom and the Magic Kingdom Resorts.
Read about the reopening of the EPCOT Monorail line here!
Disney's Art of Animation Resort
Our last update takes us over to Disney's Art of Animation Resort where one of the cars in the Pixar Cars-themed area is currently undercover (literally!).
Sherif is MIA right now
The Sheriff character has been covered by a tarp and there are a few construction gates blocking off the area to keep guests away. So, it looks like you'll have to miss out on that photo op if you're staying here for now.
And, that's it for this week's construction updates in Disney World! Be sure to catch us back here next week with more things you'll want to know for your next trip!

I wonder, will the Tron attraction operate during a rain storm, or will it stop as part of the attraction will be outside. This question has never been asked or answered and could seriously impact rider capacity during the rainy season of the year. Has DFB heard anything on this concern?
Ken, to my knowledge we have not heard anything from Disney on this front. One assumes because there's that outdoor element that it would be temporarily shut down along with other outdoor attractions that shut down for weather. We'll update if Disney says anything different about this.

Robert Alexander Wason, Friar Tuck (1912)
At 448 pages, this novel is as rambling as its full title: Friar Tuck, being the Chronicles of the Reverend John Carmichael, of Wyoming U.S.A., as set forth and embellished by his friend and admirer Happy Hawkins and here recorded by Robert Alexander Wason.
Happy Hawkins, the novel's first-person narrator, had already appeared as the title character of a previous novel, Happy Hawkins (1909). Like Wister's Virginian, Happy doesn't do much actual cowboying. Riding for the Diamond Dot, he and his pardner Spider Kelly may get sent out to round up cattle and ponies. But their efforts are typically sidetracked by more compelling distractions.
Religion on the range. The title character, Friar Tuck, is an itinerant preacher who wanders in and out of the action. Preachers in western novels are usually sanctimonious hypocrites or up to no good. Friar Tuck is neither. Committed to nonviolence and believing there's goodness somewhere in even the meanest bastard, he has an amiable homegrown philosophy.
Not surprisingly, he's out of place on the frontier, where religion of any kind finds few followers. He's a voice crying in the wilderness, but he's undaunted. One by one he manages to get sinners to give him a hearing, if not to repent.
He's an advocate of what today would be called the social gospel. Life's ills, he says, come from poverty and are the result of selfishness and greed. Despite the bruising conditions of life on the frontier, he won't give up in his fight there for kindliness and decency.
Competing moralities. The novel is really about differing ideas of morality, one of them based on the Bible and advocating the universal brotherhood of men. The other is espoused by a lapsed church goer, Horace, who bases his values on the ancient Greek ideals of beauty, love, and harmony.
Both points of view merge into a Utopian vision by the novel's end. In a long siege of the ranch belonging to a villainous cattleman, there are numerous casualties and a knife fight by candlelight in a dark tunnel. Then in an extended epilogue, the place is transformed into a kind of commune where bad men are redeemed and peace and industry prevail.
Style. Happy has a leisurely storytelling style. As Wason explains in the foreword, Friar Tuck is "told" not "written." The book's unhurried pace is meant to reflect the progress of a man on horseback, with a spare horse and a bedroll, who stops along the way whenever he feels like it.
Happy's cowboy irony is in fine form, and he has a gift for novel analogies. Here's a sample: "cautious as a glowworm in a powder-mill," "noiseless as cider turning into vinegar," "hard to forget as a split lip," "personal enough to make a bar-tender blush."
About a waitress in a saloon, he observes,
She wasn't a bad lookin' girl, except that she drenched a feller so constant with her feminine charms that she washed away any hankerin's for 'em he might have had to begin with. (p. 340)
Remarking on another man's lack of good sense he says,
His judgment wasn't such as to make a yearlin' bull willin' to swap. (p. 205)
Remarking on a man's lack of agility with a gun, he says,
He had been so blame harmless he couldn't have shot an innocent bystander. (p. 196)
Happy is an authentic creation. He has the cowboy attitude, which is to do your job the best you are able and have whatever fun you can the rest of the time. Situations may call for courage, but needless heroics are left to the foolhardy.
Wrapping up. About author Wason (1874-1955) there's little to be found in the standard references. Given this convergence of social and moral issues, it's no big surprise that he identified himself in Who's Who as a socialist. His biographical sketch there portrays him as leaving high school after one year, clerking in a general store, serving in the Army during the Spanish-American War, writing fiction, and tramping and "roughing it" in the West.
Wason has a half dozen or so novels to his credit and a handful of stories in the early pulps. Another Happy Hawkins novel, Happy Hawkins in the Panhandle, was published in 1914. His last novel-length work was a science fiction serial, The Man Who Never Died, which appeared in 1915 in Bernarr Macfadden's health and fitness magazine, Physical Culture.
Using the western novel as a vehicle for ideas about wholesome living and right thinking is not a novelty in this period. Wister used the western setting and cowboy characters to explore the nature of character. Where the novel parts company with its peers is the layer of social philosophy. The mythology of the West is almost crowded out by a blend of political and religious ideas. It almost works, and you wonder if, in other hands, it ever might have.
Friar Tuck is available free online at google books.

I like the humorous edge to this. Reminds me quite a bit of old Hopalong.
Elisabeth Grace Foley May 5, 2011 at 10:38 AM
I agree, the minister character usually doesn't get a kind portrayal in Westerns. It's always nice to see one portrayed in a positive light, but for me as a Christian, that focus on the 'social gospel' (very prevalent in the Victorian/Edwardian period) accompanied by watered-down or very odd theology is sometimes frustrating.
I love those excerpts of the narrator's vernacular you quoted. Westerners of this period seem to have had a knack for colorful metaphors and similes.
Oscar Case May 5, 2011 at 2:42 PM
It sounds like a really boring long novel, but then you say there sre knifings and cattle, too, and a sense of humor. If you could edit out the social and moral philosophizing it may be a good book. I knew an old cowboy that threw in a lot of political and religious stuff in his conversations (my brother-in-law, may he rest in peace), and he was quick to put in his two cents when someone brought it into the coversation. The book may just be a reflection of people the author had known or met and the early 1900's West when socialism and communism were getting prominent and the raucous '20's about to begin.
Ron Scheer May 6, 2011 at 6:21 AM
Patti, steal away...
Cheyenne, glad you liked it; I enjoy writing these.
David, there's a link to all the Wyoming-related posts on the left of the page.
Charles, Happy actually pre-dates Hoppy. Can't remember if Hopalong had a given name in his novels.
Elisabeth, the way religion is preached in the novel is maybe typical, too - it uses the Bible for stories illustrating different character traits.
Oscar, the novel wasn't exactly riveting. It was more interesting as a curiosity and character study. Jack London, another self-styled socialist, was a contemporary.
Todd Mason May 6, 2011 at 7:03 AM
Hey, Jack London was pretty socialist...but this does sound like a work evolving toward integration of all its elements, rather than the kind of finished work we'd see in WVT Clark's stories...

Klein Henszlein, ou Klaus Hanslein (mort en 1573) est un pirate allemand actif sur la mer du Nord de 1560 à 1573. Il finit par être capturé par une flotte originaire de Hambourg, où il sera d'ailleurs ramené avec son équipage. On les fait parader dans les rues de la ville avant de les exécuter par décapitation. Les têtes sont ensuite plantées sur des piques.

Plus tard, leur bourreau racontera comment il a facilement ôté leur tête à 33 pirates (Henszlein n'en fait pas partie) en 45 minutes seulement, puis comment il a décapité les corps des pirates qui avaient été tués durant la bataille. Il racontera également qu'il se tenait « debout dans tellement de sang qu'il en avait presque dans ses chaussures ».

Expected Goals in Context
By: Sam Gregory
Since Sam Green's innovative article in 2012 introducing Expected Goals, the metric has gone on to become one of the most widespread and insightful within football analytics.
This blog serves as a brief recap and overview, looking to explain the metric in context and provide some more recent examples.
Expected Goals (xG) quantitatively measures chance quality, a concept that is widely used in the sport.
Watching a game we can intuitively tell good chances from bad chances based on a variety of factors. How close was the shooter to goal? Was it from a good angle to the goal? Was it a one-on-one? Was it a header?
xG takes these factors – and others – into account and calculates how likely it is that a particular shot will be scored. For example, if a shot with a specific set of characteristics is likely to be scored one time in every 10 it will be worth 0.10 xG. These calculations are based on extensive historical shot data (over 300,000 shots from the Opta database at the time of writing) and are adjusted for different leagues.
*See appendix for a more in-depth explanation of calculation
The metric reflects how we analyse games; the team that creates the higher quality chances is usually who we consider having been 'the better team'. An xG model gives a quantitative measure to the quality of scoring opportunities and adds additional context to a player or team's shots that goes beyond raw shot and shot on target totals.
Expected Goals is typically a more consistent measure of performance than actual goals. Whereas goals are relatively rare events that come and go in stretches, a team or player's xG output tends to fluctuate much less from match-to-match. Clearly the goals that are actually scored are the ones that win points, but xG gives us more context for evaluating team performance.
Understanding a team's underlying performance
Consider Arsenal at the start of the 2015-16 Premier League season. In their first six games they only scored five goals for an average of 0.83 goals per game. This is a worryingly low number for a team that was expecting to challenge for the title. However, during this period Arsenal had over 12 Expected Goals for an average of 2.11 Expected Goals per game.
By the end of the season Arsenal averaged had 1.71 goals per game, which sits closely alongside their Expected Goals output from the start of the season, compared to their underwhelming goal total from that period.
If we only analysed the goals Arsenal scored in their first few matches of the season we would have never expected them to finish the season with so many goals. However, by looking at their xG we can obtain a much clearer insight into how Arsenal were actually playing.
Understanding a player's underlying performance
By comparing the goals that a player scored with the chances available to him through xG, we can better understand what is driving that player's performances. If the xG numbers are significantly below the player's goal output it may be a sign of an unsustainable run or at least merits further study to understand why this over-performance – compared to the average at least – is happening.
We can also tell a lot about a player's shot selection through xG. By analysing a player's average xG per shot we can understand whether he is taking high quality shots or lots of shots from areas from which he is unlikely to score.
Larger circle indicates a higher xG value on the shot
Expected goals is an effective tool for evaluating chance quality and predicting future performances both at the player and team level. There is nothing new about the concept of chance quality; Expected Goals assigns a quantitative value to each shot in order to generate more in depth and meaningful analysis.
Opta's xG model is calculated using a logistic regression where the dependent variable is whether or not the shot was a goal and the regression inputs are as follows:
– Passage of play (open play, direct free kick, set play, corner kick, assisted, throw-in)
– Assist type (long ball, cross, through ball, danger-zone pass, pull-back)
– Post-Take–on
– Rebound
– Header
– Distance to goal
– Visible angle of the goal
– 1 v 1
– Big chance
– Competition adjustments for a subset of competitions

Mikel Arteta delighted with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's impact in Newcastle win
Arsenal Confirm Nacho Monreal Has Officially Joined Real Sociedad on Permanent Deal
Ben Carter 31 Aug 2019
Arsenal have confirmed left-back Nacho Monreal has completed a permanent move to join La Liga side Real Sociedad.
The 33-year-old had just one year left on his contract in north London and has been linked with a move away following the arrival of Celtic's Kieran Tierney.
Arsenal have now confirmed that Monreal will leave the club with immediate effect, ensuring that the former Spain international will not feature in the north London derby on Sunday.
Wishing you all the best at @RealSociedadEN, @_nachomonreal 
— Arsenal (@Arsenal) August 31, 2019
Monreal joined the club from Malaga in 2013 and has gone on to make 251 appearances across all competitions, winning three FA Cups and the same amount of Community Shields during his time at the club.
He's been an ever-present for Arsenal this season while Sead Kolašinac has been missing following an attempted armed robbery, with Monreal even taking the captain's armband against Burnley on matchday two.
For six-and-a-half years of service, for 250 appearances, for 10 goals, for 20 assists, for three FA Cups, for those equalisers at Old Trafford and Wembley, for your unwavering consistency, and for being our very own #LaCabra, we just want to say…
THANK YOU, @_nachomonreal! ❤ pic.twitter.com/QCZaMip2AZ
Real Sociedad have confirmed that Monreal, who is their sixth signing of the summer, has signed a two-year contract in San Sebastián. The club will announce another new arrival on Monday.
Arsenal have now recouped just over £45m in sales this summer, most of which came from Alex Iwobi's move to Everton at the end of the English transfer window.
The Gunners splashed £137m on new players ahead of the 2019/20 season, including club-record signing Nicolas Pépé.
The Ivory Coast international started his first game for the club against Liverpool last week, but he's is expected to feature alongside Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette for the first time this weekend against Tottenham.
