Football Guy of the Week: Shawn Elliott
September 13, 2021 Tanner Kern College Football
Shawn Elliott wins Football Guy of the Week!
Football is undoubtedly the greatest game in the world for multiple reasons. The lessons and camaraderie you receive strapping on the pads make the game invaluable to any person's development.
Within football, some people go above and beyond to make the game the greatest in the world. These people are defined as "Football Guys." Football Guys come in various shapes and sizes, but they all represent the game better than anyone else in the world.
Football Takes is meant to showcase why there is no better game than the one played on gridiron. Therefore, it's our responsibility to highlight the crop of Football Guys throughout the sport.
The first edition of Football Guy of the Week goes to Georgia State head coach Shawn Elliott. If you picture what a Football Guy looks like, it's the leader of the Panthers.
Georgia State HC Shawn Elliott was ready to run through a wall during pregame 😂

— Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) September 12, 2021
Why Did Shawn Elliott Win This Week?
Shawn Elliott has been known for unmatched passion with his players, and a clip surfaced that demonstrated this fact before Saturday's game. Elliott was seen greeting his players in warmups, as many coaches do before kickoff.
Most coaches give their players a high five and say something like, "Let's go to work," but not Elliott. The Georgia State leader gets his players ready for war long before kickoff by engaging in pushing matches to get his boys ready for battle.
Elliott is 48 years old, and he still looks like he could kick all of his players' asses. This was evident in the clip from Twitter. Also, I cannot forget to mention that the coach tore his bicep celebrating a touchdown in 2018. #FootballGuy
Georgia State was going into a game against UNC that they could not win, but this did not mean Coach Elliott left his passion in the locker room. Awarding him with the Football Guy of the Week was an easy decision following the weekend slate.
Shawn Elliott Background
Elliott has been leading the Georgia State program since 2017 after eight seasons at South Carolina as an assistant coach. He played at Appalachian State from 1992-1995 as a defensive end.
He started his coaching career with the Mountaineers as a graduate assistant in 1997 and ultimately led the offensive line from 2001 to 2009. He is 22-37 at Georgia State, but the coach has made three bowl games, earning two wins.
Look for Shawn Elliott to be a multi-time award winner, especially if Georgia State earns a big win. If his warmup routine is any indication of his postgame speech, it's going to be epic.
Congrats to Coach Elliott!

LambdaNative brings functional programming to IoT
Submitted By: Subhadip April 7, 2016 No Comments
LambdaNative, a development environment bringing functional programming to mobile and embedded application development, is being primed for expansion to theInternet of things.
The open source cross-platform environment was written in the Scheme language and enables sharing of modular code between applications. "LambdaNative is a software development kit that manages the details of delivering applications on diverse platforms, beyond the scope of the Scheme compiler itself," LambdaNative team lead Chris Petersen said. "This includes the handling of application resources, artwork generation, code signing, packaging, as well as cross-compilation of supporting libraries. This functionality reduces the complexities of app development, and helps reduce the overall development time."
Next on the agenda is support for IoT protocols, such as the MQTT messaging protocol, and strong authentication technologies like U2F. "We are also developing a sister project, LNHealth, that uses LambdaNative for creating mHealth [mobile health] surveys with support for sensor input, etc.," said Petersen.
Released as an open source project in 2013, LambdaNative supports Apple iOS, Google Android, and BlackBerry OS 10, as well as OS X, Linux, and Windows. Applications are built from a single source code.
The environment was developed by Pediatric Anesthesia Research Team (PART) at the British Columbia Children's Hospital, in conjunction with the Electrical Computing and Computing Engineering in Medicine (ECEM) group at the University of British Columbia. Petersen is technology director at PART. "Our interest is pragmatic, stemming from a need to produce high-quality code with very short turn-around and limited manpower and resources," he said. "We have found functional programming, and Scheme in particular, to be an effective way to maximize our productivity."
LambdaNative's founders have developed applications with it, including Clip, a survey tool for screening of pregnant women for preeclampsia; iControl, for managing intravenous drug infusion; and RRate, for measuring the breath rate in sick children. PART and ECEM have an internal repository of about 80 applications built with it.

Alonso fastest on Test Day, Porsche ahead in GTE Pro
by David | posted in: Homepage, Le Mans, LMGTE-Am, LMGTE-Pro, LMP1, LMP2, Testing | 0
Fernando Alonso in the #8 Toyota TS050 Hybrid posted the fastest time of the 2018 Le Mans Test Day on his debut at La Sarthe. The Spaniard's fastest lap time of 3:19.066 was six-tenths faster than the second-quickest man on Test Day, Mathias Beche in the #3 Rebellion Racing R13 Gibson (3:19.680).
Toyota Gazoo Racing drew first blood at the official Test Day for the 2018 24 Hours of Le Mans, with Fernando Alonso clearly enjoying his first attempt at tackling the Circuit des 24 Heures. However, it certainly wasn't a dominant performance from the pair of works Toyotas.
With all teams at the Circuit de la Sarthe focusing on running through their testing programmes, lap times were not high on the agenda. However, the performance of the pair of Rebellion R13s will have come as a pleasant surprise. Rebellion drivers Mathias Beche and Gustavo Menezes were the second- and third-quickest drivers around the 13.626km circuit. Thomas Laurent in the #1 Rebellion was also the quickest of anyone in Sector 1.
Third-fastest was the #7 Toyota TS050 of Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi and José Maria López after 2017 pole-setter Kobayashi posted a 3:20.008 in the middle of the afternoon session.
Toyota also completed the most laps of all the LMP1 cars, with the #7 and #8 machines managing 202 laps in total. All other LMP1 cars were able to run laps at the Test Day, including – crucially – the pair of CEFC TRSM Racing Ginetta G60s that were unable to run at the 6 Hours of Spa.
Ford appeared to hold the advantage in GTE Pro for most of the day, before a couple of flyers by Porsche drivers Patrick Pilet and Gianmaria Bruni made it a Porsche one-two. Pilet's fastest time of 3:52.551 came on the car's final lap of the day before the session was red-flagged ten minutes before it was due to end.
Pilet's time eclipsed that of his teammate Bruni in the Rothmansesque-liveried #91 Porsche 911 RSR that appeared to have set the benchmark in GTE Pro 90 minutes before the end of the day's running. Third-fastest was Brit Andy Priaulx in the #67 Ford GT, which he set two hours into the first session.
Marco Sørensen in the #95 Aston Martin Vantage AMR was involved in the biggest incident of the day during the first session of the race. The Dane tangled with the #35 SMP Racing LMP2 car and the #86 Gulf Racing Porsche 911 RSR on the run down from Mulsanne Corner to Indianapolis.
The incident resulted in the session being red-flagged around 40 minutes before it was due to end. Both the #35 and #86 machines limped back to the pits, but the #95 Aston was badly damaged and played no further part in the remainder of the day's testing. It was a bad day at the office for Aston Martin in their new-for-2018 Vantage AMR, who were only able to finish sixteenth and seventeenth fastest in GTE Pro some five seconds off the pace of the leading Porsche.
Aside from Sørensen's shunt, there were also numerous other on-track incidents that required either slow zones, safety cars or complete stoppages throughout the day.
Fastest in LMP2 was Frenchman Nathanaël Berthon in the #31 Dragonspeed Oreca 07 Gibson, whose lap time of 3:27.228 was just 0.024 seconds faster than Paul-Loup Chatin's effort in the IDEC Sport Oreca. Third-fastest was Jean-Eric Vergne in the #26 G-Drive Racing Oreca with a fastest time of 3:28.394.
GTE Am was a straight-up battle between Porsche and Ferrari. Julien Andlauer ultimately set the fastest time of the day, a 3:55.970, for the #77 Dempsey-Proton Porsche 911 RSR. Just like the GTE Pro class, Andlauer's time came right at the end of the eight hours of Test Day running and pipped Giancarlo Fisichella's previous benchmark of 3:56.279 in the #54 Spirit of Race Ferrari F488 GTE.

Q: Move an item to top of list with "shooting up" animation I'm looking for some way (javascript, jQuery, CSS3) to move a list item to the top of an unordered list when clicked and animate while doing it to show the item shooting up the list to its place at the top of the list.
Something a bit like this: http://www.sarasoueidan.com/demos/creative-list-effects but in reverse and using a set list of items like this:
Is this even possible?
Here is the code I have so far:
.value {
  cursor:pointer;
  position: relative;
}

Value 1

Value 2

Value 3

Value 4

Value 5

Value 6

Value 7

Value 8

Value 9

Value 10

$(".value").on("click", function() {
  $(this).animate({
    opacity: 0.5,
    top: "-=200"
  //}, {
    //step: function (now, fx) {
      // if ($()) $(this).stop();

      // if(fx.prop === 'top' && Math.abs(now) >= Math.abs(parseInt($(".list").css("height"), 10))) {
      //   $(this).stop();
      // }
    //}
  }, 1000, function() {
    $(".list").prepend($(this));
    $(this).css("top", 0);
    $(this).animate({
      opacity: 1
    }, 500 );
  });
});

http://jsfiddle.net/xpvt214o/779771/
It shoots the item up the screen, but I want it to settle into the top position, whereas now it keeps going. I thought adding a step where it stops when it gets to the height of the container, but it still shoots past it.

A: Figured it out. I need to set the minus top value to the offset of each list item, like so:
$(".value").on("click", function() {
  var position = $( this ).position();
  event.stopPropagation();

  $(this).animate({
    opacity: 0.5,
    top: "-="+position.top
  }, 800, function() {
    $(".list").prepend($(this));
    $(this).css("top", 0);
    $(this).animate({
      opacity: 1
    }, 500 );
  });
});

And remove the margins so it stops in the first position:
body {
  margin: 0;
}
.list {
  margin: 0;
}

Amnesty International Boycotts UK Jewish Event to Support BDS
Siding with anti-Semites and opposing open debate, Amnesty International has cancelled a debate with the UK's Jewish community over the UN's biased human rights agency.
By: JNS.org and United with Israel Staff
Amnesty International sparked outrage among the British Jewish community after citing support for the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement in its withdrawal from an event it had organized with the Jewish Leadership Council (JLC), an umbrella group of major British Jewish organizations.
The event, a panel discussion on Israel and the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), was scheduled to take place Wednesday at Amnesty International's London offices.
Human rights lawyer Danny Friedman was slated to chair the panel, with speakers Fred Carver of the UN Association and Hillel Neuer of UN Watch joining the discussion.
Amnesty withdrew from hosting the event last Friday, citing its campaign "for all governments around the world to ban the import of goods produced in the illegal Israeli settlements."
"We do not, therefore, think it appropriate for Amnesty International to host an event by those actively supporting such settlements," the group stated.
Amnesty Has 'Lost its Moral Compass'
In response to Amnesty's withdrawal from the event and expressed support for BDS, the JLC said, "We have long argued that the aggressive criticism of Israeli government policy creates an environment where anti-Semitism thrives, and it is highly regrettable that on this occasion Amnesty International UK's decision has targeted the Jewish community."
"When a world human rights movement seeks to shut down open discussion, they have lost their moral compass," Hillel Neuer stated. " What is Amnesty afraid of … heads spontaneously combusting?" Neuer jokingly asked.
"Amnesty disgracefully cancelled, but we will not be silenced. I am coming to the UK this week to call for a revival of the founding values of human rights, hijacked by despots and their apologists," he added.
Last November, Israeli Strategic Affairs and Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan requested that Amnesty International's eligibility quotas to operate in Israel be rescinded due to its support for BDS.
The UNHRC is infamously biased against Israel, with nearly half of its resolutions focused solely on Israel, while it ignores war, strife and atrocities committed around the globe. Israeli leaders and officials have cited the UNHRC for its "obsessive hostility" toward Israel and "one-sided mandate."
Over the past 10 years, the UNHRC has passed 62 resolutions condemning Israel. Meanwhile, actual human rights abusers, including the world's worst offenders in Syria, Iran, and North Korea, have received far fewer condemnations.

Wal-Mart gets schooled: Retailer expands tiny on-campus format
A Walmart Neighborhood Market sign is seen outside a newly opened store in Chicago September 21, 2011. Wal-Mart is experimenting with a similar small format, only this time on college campuses.JIM YOUNG / Reuters
By Martha C. White
Wal-Mart is synonymous with the term "big-box store," but it's scaling down to a miniscule 2,500 square feet for a new store coming to the Georgia Institute of Technology next quarter.
The second in a test format the company is calling Walmart on Campus, the Georgia Tech store will be the smallest in the country, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The single Walmart on Campus store currently in operation is at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, Ark., less than an hour's drive from the company's Bentonville headquarters. There's a company tie to the new location, too; Wal-Mart president and CEO Mike Duke is a Georgia Tech alum.
Wal-Mart has explored smaller-sized stores before. It launched Walmart Neighborhood Market, a format that averages 40,000 square feet and now includes 230 stores, in 1998. It also is testing 12 Walmart Express stores that average 15,000 square feet in three markets.
"The large format stores remain our engine for growth," said Wal-Mart spokesman Steven Restivo, but he added that smaller store footprints were a growing part of the company's strategy. "We've become more flexible in our approach to communities," he said.
The footprint for the Georgia Tech store is a fraction of Wal-Mart's Supercenters, which average 182,000 square feet. Its comparatively limited merchandise mix is tailored to reflect its student customer base: some groceries, convenience and general non-food items, plus health and beauty products. It will also include a pharmacy and a financial services center where students can cash checks and pay bills.
"We want the store size and the merchandise mix to be a reflection of the community it's in," Restivo said.

Exploring an ocean is exciting for preschool children! Ocean animals, shells, sand, and water are a wonder and bring out the natural curiosity that is at the heart of every young child. Whether your children have a chance to visit a real ocean or not, learning about the life cycle of a sea turtle is playful discovery for preschoolers!
For hands-on play with the sea turtle's life cycle, Safari Ltd. offers a green sea turtle life cycle set: eggs, hatchling, juvenile, and adult. Discuss the 4 basic stages with the children while showing each piece from the set.
Sea Turtle Eggs – the female turtle can lay up to 100 eggs in the sand at night. The female leaves the ocean to lay her eggs in a hole (nest) then covers the eggs with sand using her front and back flippers.
Sea Turtle Hatchling – in 6-12 weeks (time differs with various turtles), the turtles hatch from their shells and make their way to the deeper waters in the ocean.
Juvenile Sea Turtles – the younger turtles have an initial growing period of up to a decade. The young turtles live and feed in the ocean waters. Eventually, the turtles will join the other turtles along the ocean's coastline.
Adult Sea Turtles – an adult sea turtle can grow over 3 feet long. Some types of sea turtles can live to be 100 years old. Adult sea turtles make their home along the coastlines of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. If possible, show the children where the oceans are located on a map. For a downloadable online map of the oceans, visit National Geographic Education.
Remind the children that as the sea turtles mature, the female turtles lay more eggs in the sand and the life cycle repeats itself.
As an extension activity after basic discussions, create a sea turtle life cycle sensory bag!
Materials needed: one gallon-sized zippered bag, blue hair gel (or white gel colored with blue or green food coloring), duct tape (to seal the opening), and the 4 piece sea turtle life cycle set.
Place the blue hair gel inside the zippered bag and add all four pieces from the sea turtle life cycle set. Zip the bag closed and seal the opening with duct tape to prevent the gel from leaking as the children play.
As the children play and discover the contents of the bag, see if they can re-create the sea turtle life cycle by moving the 4 pieces into life cycle sequence (as shown in the photo above). After the pieces are ordered, the children can create 4 separate sections by drawing a vertical line with a finger down the middle of the bag and a horizontal line across the center.
The sensory bags are fun for kids (adults, too). It is a great way to encourage young kids to use their senses (touch and sight) to position the pieces into the life cycle sequence.

Viral Trails: The Weird Popularity of the Devil's Bathtub
Posted by swvahiking on June 9, 2016 June 11, 2016
If you live in central Appalachia – and maybe even if you don't – there's a good chance you've heard of the Devil's Bathtub. The "bathtub" is the local moniker given to a small scour pool in the Devil's Fork of Stony Creek, a stream cascading off of the south side of Scott County, Virginia's High Knob. By Appalachian standards, it's a pretty basic hike: scenic, crystal-clear water, a trail following an old rail grade that crisscrosses through the stream, a couple of small drops barely classifying as waterfalls…you get the picture.
Or maybe you don't have to. There's a good chance you've seen that picture yourself. Perhaps you've seen it on the Weather Channel. Or what about on the Rails to Trails Conservancy's list of the nation's top railbed hikes? Maybe you saw it featured as "the most beautiful place in Virginia" recently. No? Perhaps you remember it from the front page of Reddit or in one of its thousands of photos on Pinterest instead.
The case of the Devil's Bathtub is, well, just plain weird. It's not Southwest Virginia's best swimming hole. It doesn't have its highest waterfall. The trail doesn't have the most stream crossings, contains precisely zero scenic overlooks, has no facilities located for miles, is far from the region's wildest forest, and visitors from many areas literally drive past more scenic hikes to get there. In fact, we'll just come out and say it: relative to the rest of the hiking trails in southwest Virginia and northeast Tennessee, the Bathtub and its companion hike are completely, utterly, vanishingly…mediocre.
So, why is a mid-grade trail being named as the Appalachians' most iconic hike, and why are literal hundreds of people per week driving (many from across the country) just to cram into a 4-car gravel parking area and shuffle up to a swimming hole a little over a mile away? Your answer is a simple one: social media.
Before we continue, it's worth mentioning a disclaimer. We're not saying here that the Bathtub isn't scenic, that it's not worth seeing, or that it's not an important regional asset. It's all of those things, and it's a unique little hike. But that's about all it is, and it certainly isn't worth the level of hype it's received. In fact, much of that hype appears to have started as a mistake. So…how did we get here?
Let's visit the start of that hype. Around three years ago, the trail up the Devil's Fork was mostly a deserted place, barely visited even by locals. It had been mentioned in trail guides and online for years, but no one paid it much attention. That all changed sometime in 2014. It was around that time that, as best we can tell, the Bathtub began to show up on Pinterest, mostly in the form of color-enhanced and filtered photos from professional photographers ripped from the internet. These photos were also mixed in with a case of mistaken identity. Specifically, a rock formation in Ohio's Hocking Hills State Park – also named the Devil's Bathtub – also began to get attributed to a spot "in the mountains of Southwest Virginia."
Posts like this one – featuring photos of the Devil's Bathtub in Ohio, not Virginia – fueled online popularity of southwest Virginia's hike.
Soon after false photos of the Bathtub appeared on Pinterest, content aggregators like this one spread the photos to Twitter. This one includes an incorrect photo from Ohio on the left alongside a heavily color-enhanced photo from below the real Virginia Bathtub on the right. Note the number of likes and retweets.
As things occasionally do on the internet, something in the photos caused the Bathtub to go viral. Based on buzz from social media during that time, it appears the mislabeled photos of Ohio's Bathtub fueled massive regional interest, thanks to the fact that little in our region looks like the woods of a state park found hundreds of miles to the north. Whatever the cause, the Bathtub exploded: a few mentions early that year turned into literal thousands of shares on Pinterest and other platforms.
The Clickbait Craze
This social media trend continued into 2015. The trail gradually became more crowded, the narrow forest road more choked with cars each weekend as folks – most of them local – began to search for the odd-looking local swimming hole that was actually in Ohio. Things reached a head in the spring of 2015, though, when the Weather Channel selected the Bathtub as its top "hidden gem" in the state, part of a series of clickbait articles the site publishes to increase hits alongside weather forecasts. While this post got the photo right, the selection was downright odd: most other states had well-developed national landmarks or state parks featured. Something about the earlier social media frenzy had stuck, though, and the Bathtub had hit the big-time.
The trouble with clickbait pieces is that, once one site finds a theme that generates shares and hits, other sites follow suit. Since the Weather Channel feature, the Bathtub has been crowned the "most beautiful place in all of Virginia" by the vague content aggregator PureWow, named a top rail-trail by the Rails to Trails Conservancy (despite the fact that the Bathtub's trail follows an old logging railbed, the narrow, occasionally rugged dirt path bears no resemblance to an actual rail-trail), and has been featured in more regional news outlets than can be counted. As best we can tell, these national websites haven't visited the place at all before writing about it; they've simply found a trending photo on social media, dug up some info on the hike, and blasted it to the masses, trolling for ad clicks.
Clickbait mania drove the Bathtub to the front page of Reddit in late 2015, boosting popularity even further.
Since the Weather Channel's feature in 2015, this typical Appalachian stream hike has become a backwoods nightmare. Hundreds of cars try to cram into the tiny gravel parking area each weekend, nearly all of them spilling out onto a nearby county road, blocking access to homeowners that live nearby. Visitors routinely use the yards of nearby homes as a bathroom, and used diapers, discarded clothing, and food wrappers often litter the trail. Rescue operations for lost and unprepared hikers can become commonplace in the summer, themselves sometimes impeded by the traffic jam of people searching for the place behind a nameless photo a friend shared online (see a video here). The situation has become so bad that the Kingsport Times-News (a regional newspaper) switched from publishing pieces encouraging folks to visit to pieces detailing problems with access and overuse all within a couple of years' time.
Compounded in all of this is that the Bathtub, for better or for worse, seems to be getting many people into the woods for the first time. The majority of visitors on most warm-weather weekends aren't seasoned hikers but twenty-somethings wearing flip-flops and carrying little more than a beach towel. Standard backcountry gear – things like water, food, a map, raingear, and sturdy footwear, the stuff that prevents mishaps in the woods – is a rarity for folks making the trek.
While it's good to see new folks discovering hiking, this means that the Bathtub is the only trail many folks know exist in the region since it's the only one being shared online. On a summer weekend when a melee of humanity descends on the Devil's Fork, for example, nearby trailheads sit empty. These include the Little Stony National Recreation Trail a few miles away with its bigger waterfalls and deeper swimming holes, an actual rail-trail through the 400 foot-deep Guest River Gorge, and a high-elevation, stream crossing-filled stretch of the 19-mile Chief Benge Trail farther up High Knob. In short, it's not really anything about the trail itself that's getting the attention – it's that the trail got attention to begin with.
What do you do about a viral trail?
The Devil's Bathtub has ultimately become what may be one of the nation's first "viral trails" – a place that, by the sole virtue of social media shares, has gone from anonymity to a public lands liability. While it's likely far from the last trail to suffer this fate, the consequences are obvious. Discussions have festered about closing the Bathtub to public access to stem the destruction of its fragile ecosystem. Plans are being developed to possibly relocate parking areas and even the trail itself. And experts are being called in to address the rampant overuse issues the online attention has created.
While there's a clear argument to be made that the attention the Bathtub has received is deserved (after all, it IS a beautiful place), there's also an argument to be made that with social media sharing comes responsibility. If even a fraction of those naming the Bathtub as "the most outstanding ____" in Virginia or the nation had actually visited the trail first rather than swiping photos and content online, they would have seen that the trailhead was tiny, the trail itself in disrepair, and access limited. And, like the more accurate trail guides that came years before them, they likely would have stressed to users that there are problems with trying a hike to the 'tub and that there are other, more scenic trails nearby when the parking area is full.
This responsibility also applies to those of us who promote our local trails. Knowing that problems like these exist at the Bathtub – and then repeatedly sharing posts that feature no information about access, trail length, difficulty, or other vital information – is the outdoor equivalent of shooting yourself in the foot, reloading, and shooting that same foot again and again and again, all while wondering why your foot hurts in the first place.
Don't take it from us, though. Take a peek at some of the comments on a clickbait post created by an outside website and then shared this week by one local tourism group's Facebook page below: everyone can't wait to go see the Bathtub, yet there's no mention at all in the original PureWow post of what to consider before making a trip. What then follows is an online game of telephone. Hundreds of people want to make the trip, no one's getting accurate info on where to go or how to plan, but everyone still tries to make the journey, anyway. No one's intentionally trying to cause harm to the trail, of course, but this is how overuse issues happen.
Recent post promoting a clickbait article on the Bathtub and responses from the community.
Thankfully, there's a valuable chance here to turn useless clickbait posts into useful outdoor information, but so far we as a region have failed the Devil's Bathtub (do see the update below, though, on some work taking place right now to remedy this problem). Instead, what we're left with is an uninformed mass of people shuffling blindly towards an overcrowded mess in Scott County, Virginia each weekend, and as long as we keep failing how we promote outdoor sites like this one, overuse problems and lost hikers will continue. What's the first thing you do after the rescue squad puts granny in the ambulance with her broken ankle and drops you back off at the car, after all? Take the selfie you snapped at the swimming hole and share it online.
(Update – 10 June 2016: Scott County Tourism, which covers the region that's home to the Bathtub, is doing some great work making inroads towards combating the lack of the information that's plaguing many users coming to the Bathtub via social media posts. Make sure to check out their site – detailed directions, parking info, and an overview of what the hike is like can be found on the front page. This type of info is a perfect way to overcome the confusion generated by much of the online attention coming from beyond the immediate region and described in the original post above.)

Wally, please direct folks to the Scott County Tourism website, where you will find directions to the Devil's Bathtub, a detailed story on the average Joe's hike to the Tub, plus alternative suggestions on ways to spend time in Scott County. Just FYI, Little Stony Falls was well-traveled Memorial Day Weekend, following the front page story in the Kingsport Times-News. Thank you, Pam Cox, Scott County, VA, tourism director.

It's tax season once again. And while that means the endless headaches of trying to itemize your deductions and finding all of those receipts, for most of us it also means it's time for a big, fat refund! In fact, the average tax refund last year was $2,825. That's a pretty good chunk of change.

Vice Admiral William S. Sims, Commander, United States Naval Forces Operating in European Waters, to Rear Admiral Henry B. Wilson, Commander, United States Patrol Squadrons Operating in European Waters
April 9th. 1918.
My dear Wilson,
Your letter of March 31st. was a good while in reaching me but I telegraphed at once that I would back you up in enforcing good conduct and discipline on the French coast.1
I have telegraphed the Department for authority to transfer the doctor in question to your forces.2 As for the legan [i.e., legal] aspect of the case I am not at present informed. That is, I do not know whether after a man was transferred he could properly be tried for something that he did before he could properly be tried for was transferred. However, your legal sharps can look this up.
I entirely agree with you that in case certain kinds of disciplinarian action are necessary, it would almost always be best toto send the offender home. This because I don't think it a good ball to keep a man in active service in the war area after he has been punished; in the next place, I think it has a very good effect on the rest of the gang to send such people back to America.
I am rather sorry that the army authorities did not consider it advisable to make use of the 7000 men that could be mustered from the French coast.3 While of course I understand they they would have been but a drop in the bucket, and could not really have done very much, still I think the moral effect of their being there would have been quite worth while. Perhaps they will call for them later/
Very sincerely yours,
W. S. SIMS

Last year I ordered a RaspberryPi; I wanted to check out the hype and, who knew, maybe I'd get a decent media (or at least music) player out of it. The machine arrived right in time for Christmas, together with an SD card preinstalled with Raspbian and a USB power supply.
Wow, the CPU of this thing is slow. I was lucky to get the new version with 512MB RAM, I guess. Any CPU-heavy task feels extremely sluggish, be it aptitude, X or — beware! — watching videos. The GUI software package that comes with Raspbian is all but useless, too, so I soon decided to stick to a native terminal.
I was quite disappointed with the video performance which resembled a slide show; I had wanted to use the Pi as media center, after all. So I did some research and learned that there is apparently only one player which can harness the hardware video decoding capabilities the Pi has to offer: the OMXPlayer.
Turns out Raspbian with OMXPlayer does a better job of playing full HD videos than my gaming PC, and without the noise and barely any heat. Of course, you should not start X but run the player from shell (yes, that works!); not the most intuitive interface — and you have to change the terminal font if you use a big TV — but very efficient. Files are stored on an external HD connected to another PC which the Pi mounts via ssh. So far, I have not experienced any problems with this setup.
The only sore point has been the board layout; the connectors you can't go without (Ethernet, USB, HDMI, AC) face three different directions, so the Pi is awkward to place if you want to run all cables to the back. Some minor annoyances are missing codecs, for example WMV, and a handful of inconveniences in OMXPlayer.
I have not yet tried using XMBC which is supposed to work well. Installing it on Raspbian does not seem to be straightforward; maybe I'll try out Raspbmc on another card. Does anybody have experience with that?
Do you have problems with your display going idle on you all the time, too? Here is the solution: trick it into believing you were doing something useful by doing something stupid.
This script copies all images currently stored on the camera into the current folder and rotates them if necessary1. The necessary programs gphoto2 and jhead are available as packages with the same name from the Ubuntu repositories. Note that you have to empty your camera's storage manually afterwards.
Furthermore, note that gphoto2 is a very powerful tool. It allows you to configure and control many aspects of your camera via USB, including remote capture—something you might want to employ?
As you know I mainly use Fluxbox on a minimal Ubuntu installation without access to all the every-day functionality provided by panel applets in Gnome, including volume control. Therefore, I have been using pavucontrol for controlling Pulseaudio. It is a really nice application that gives you very finegrained control, for instance over which application should be how loud. Lately I have been annoyed with opening a whole application just for the sake of adjusting volume a little bit, so I set out to find a way to control it via shell. Turns out there is no convenient interface to pulseaudio at all, leaving me to script something together, this time in Ruby. It uses a very unwieldy interface to Pulseaudio named pacmd, contained in Ubuntu package pulseaudio-utils.
This is certainly not the most efficient way to do it, retrieving all the info multiple times, but it works and I do not perceive any delays. Note that the script will just use the first sink that pacmd prints, so if you have a setup with multiple sinks you will have to be more clever.
None XF86AudioMute :execCommand pavol !
Update: The script now has a home on GitHub.
After one year of using mpd on my Fluxbox machine I have started to sift through my music collection, fixing tags and adding album covers. Since there is no need for having album art if you do not show it, I set out to make conky show the images on my disk. I was lucky to find script in the depth of some forum (reference lost) that inspired the following piece of bash code.
When this script is run, the currently playing album's artist and name are retrieved and the corresponding image — or a dummy — is copied to /tmp for conky to pick up. Note that always the first image in the album's folder is chosen and then manipulated with imagemagick; you might have to do a little coding yourself if you store your music or covers differently. Note that all time consuming stuff is done only once per album run.
You have to adapt the visual thingies to your liking, of course.


"Ballyhoo is still with us, and always will be."
Showbiz Ballyhoo borrows the old carnival term to cover the early history of Hollywood movie marketing, hosted by David Steinberg. This television documentary features vintage public service announcements, screentests, newsreels and other sales-oriented material, with appearances from many silver screen stars of the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s.
The main attraction here is the program's collection of rarely-seen footage—it's interesting to see Shirley Temple advertising the Red Cross, Mary Pickford talking with her husband-to-be Charles 'Buddy' Rogers, and Darryl Zanuck overseeing Sonja Henie's contract signing. Edgar Bergen's Charlie McCarthy turns up in blackface minstrel makeup, Cecil B. DeMille directs, and MGM enlists Wallace Beery and Marie Dressler to propagandize against Daylight Savings Time (which the studio feared would reduce cinema attendance). Many recognizable personalities turn up in "candid" moments at movie openings and such, and most viewers will make a few new discoveries during the disc's 75-minute run.
The program's framework is less successful—David Steinberg seems awkward and uncomfortable as host, his eyes constantly running for the safety of the TelePrompter, and he's not given much to work with scriptwise. The show's intended focus on Hollywood salesmanship drifts a bit (a "bloopers" segment seems like needless padding) and completely ignores the four-walled roadshow adventures of the itinerant exploitation pioneers. And the chronology is suspect—few dates are given onscreen, though personalities are conveniently and clearly identified with subtitles, and a section on Hollywood's World War II efforts is followed by a piece on the introduction of sound.
Die-hard movie fans will still want to check out Showbiz Ballyhoo. Just ignore the structural framework, fill in your own historical background and enjoy such novelties as Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney talking to New York's Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia, Bob Hope teasing Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra, and Errol Flynn leading a parade.
Image Transfer Review: Showbiz Ballyhoo is presented in its original made-for-television 1.33:1 full-frame aspect ratio, drawn from a broadcast videotape master at 30 frames-per-second. The vintage source material is often in poor shape, with deterioration and wear, and some early color footage suffers from smeariness and inadequate contrast in the video transfer. Detail is generally fair to poor, with ringing artifacts around superimposed titles and edge enhancement throughout; the program is certainly watchable, but its videotape origins are glaringly evident, and one wishes the film sources had been remastered for DVD.
Audio Transfer Review: FOCUSFilm presents Showbiz Ballyhoo in its original monophonic audio format, digitally mastered in Dolby 2.0 for ProLogic decoding to the center speaker. The vintage film audio is understandably noisy and clipped, and the newly-created host footage suffers from some echo and limited frequency range. Dialogue in some of the older archival material is difficult to understand, and a little bit of electronic clean-up might have been appropriate here. Even given the age of the various sources, the audio here is below contemporary DVD standards.
Extras Review: Documentaries generally don't call for extras, and this bare-bones disc delivers on that count, with 8 picture-menu chapter stops, nothing more.
Showbiz Ballyhoo is a competent if limited documentary, featuring rare footage of the biggest stars of vintage Hollywood. FOCUSFilm's DVD transfer is competent given the videotape source; movie mavens will want to check this one out.


This is the audio recorded at an event hosted tonight by the Coffee County Republican Committee. The speakers were U.S. Senate candidates, Judge Roy Moore and Tripp Pittman. I tried to boost the audio when members of the audience asked questions. Otherwise, no edits have been made.
