Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by The Broke and the Bookish where people make lists about their opinions on various bookish topics.
Reader burnout: it exists, it's nasty and draining, and it hit me for nearly two years. With such a large lapse in doing much actual reading, it comes as little surprise that there is a lot on my TBR, since I tend to like series and they don't stop just because I'm not reading. Here are ten books I haven't read yet that I really need to get to.
09. And I Darken by Kiersten White -- Anyone who knows a little about vampire history knows that Count Dracula was based on Vlad the Impaler. Vlad the Impaler was a vey scary guy. The idea of a female Vlad as a YA lead fascinates me.
08. Run by Kody Keplinger -- I loved The DUFF, Shut Out and A Midsummer's Nightmare, so I am looking forward to reading the books Kody has written while I was taking my break. As someone who grew up fairly sheltered because of disabilities--one of those being that I am legally blind--this had to be here.
06. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell -- I've wanted to read this from the moment I heard about it. I even bought a hardcover copy, but I've started to find that print books take visual effort. So I'll need to grab this for my e-reader instead.
05. The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkosski -- Fantastic premise. An idea this out there can make me nervous about how it will be executed, but I still need to check this out either way.
03. Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas -- I'm planning to do full read throughs of both the Throne of Glass and Court of Thorns and Roses series this year. Figured putting one book was more fair than having repeat entries from one author.
02. Wild Cards by Simone Elkeles -- i adored the Perfect Chemistry trilogy and this has been on my TBR way too long. I cannot wait to sit down and get lost in one of Simone's books again.
So, what did you pick as your freebie topic this week? Have you read any of the books I listed? Did you like them? What books are you eager to read this year? Feel fee to leave a comment and let me know.

Breastcancer.org is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing the most reliable, complete, and up-to-date information about breast cancer.
Their mission is to help women and their loved ones make sense of the complex medical and personal information about breast health and breast cancer so that they can make the best decisions for their lives. The people behind breastcancer.org bring with them a diverse set of skills and experience, from medical experts, writers, editors, and business development experts, to designers and web producers. A Professional Advisory Board (PAB) reviews all the medical information on the website. The PAB includes over 70 practicing medical professionals from around the world who are leaders in their fields. Impressively, breastcancer.org provides a Spanish translation of most (if not all) of the pages on the website.
Throughout, the website uses plain language in its topic headings, so that even if you haven't learned the cancer-speak yet, you can still find your way around easily enough.
The website has a lot of information but is very well laid-out and easy to navigate. Let's take a wander…
The Home page
The body of the Home page includes a ton of information. "Breast Cancer in the News," brings breaking news about current breast cancer research and there are podcasts you can listen to in which experts discuss the current breast cancer research. "Think Pink, Live Green," gives you ways of living that can help reduce your risk of breast cancer. Finally, "Breastcancer.org's Blog" has stories about amazing people, helpful healthy living tips, and an insider's look at Breastcancer.org.
Along the top of the Home page are five clickable tab names:
- Symptoms & Diagnosis
- Treatment & Side Effects
- Day-to-Day Matters
- Lower Your Risk
- Get Involved
Beneath each tab name is a partial list of topics associated with that tab. For instance, Understanding Breast Cancer, Screening, and Testing, Types of Breast Cancer, More Topics, etc. The topic titles are clickable so you can go directly to that topic if you want to.
To see the full list of sub-topics click on the tab name ("Symptoms & Diagnosis" for instance) or the "More Topics" menu item.
Some big topics, such as "Managing Breast Cancer Fears," have additional information arranged into sub-topics. Look for the sub-topic titles on the left of the window. These sub-topics make it easier to drill into focused topics rather than facing an intimidatingly long piece of text.
You have two ways to navigate to the topics in the tab. The body of the page has links, and the same links appear on the left of the window. Also on the left side of the window, following the list of topics, are additional links not in the body of the page, including Slideshows, Ask the Expert Topics, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), and Research News. These links do not all appear on each tab. For instance, there is no "Ask the Expert" option on the Treatment and Side Effects tab.
The slideshows take the form of a few slides (fewer than 20) that provide practical tips or useful snippets of information about a given subject. For instance, there's "10 Important Things to Know About Mammograms" and "9 Steps You Can Take to Eat a More Healthy Diet" and "16 Ways to Reduce the Risk of Lymphedema" and many others.
Ask the Expert
Many of the topics on this website are excellent sources of information, a sort of reference manual. But the site also includes presentations and "Ask-the-Expert" online conferences, in which patients post questions and one or more experts provide answers. Some of the topics are archived from several years ago, so there are lots to choose from. I found the easiest way to locate them was to search for "Ask-the-expert" and then choose from the returned list of titles. They run the gamut from "Managing Chemo Brain," to "Kids and Mom's Breast Cancer," to "Sex, Intimacy, and Breast Cancer."
Frequently Asked Questions
I guess this feature is dependent on people submitting questions. At the current time, only the Day-to-Day Matters tab has an FAQ section. The section takes the form of a question posed by a reader, with an answer from one of the site's experts.
Research News
The Research News pages identify published research studies. The articles about the studies are written in a nice clear way, and you don't need an advanced science degree to understand them. (At least, that's the case for the several that I looked at.)
Breadcrumb feature
With a site like breastcancer.org with so many topics of interest and so many links to other topics of interest, you might get lost in the weeds. However, the site has an excellent "breadcrumb" feature just below the tab names along the top of the window. It's called a "breadcrumb" because it shows the trail you've taken to get to your current location. A lot like the breadcrumb trail you might leave for yourself when walking through a forest!
For instance, I searched the entire site for articles about the side effects of Anastrozole, and from the returned list of articles I chose one called "Aromatase Inhibitors." I didn't know the location of the article in the overall structure of the website, but I could figure it out by looking at the breadcrumb:
All elements of the breadcrumb are clickable, so you can easily retrace your steps.
More than just drugs…
The website provides information about conventional treatments; it also offers a fairly extensive section on complementary and holistic medicine (in Treatment and Side Effects). The Day to Day Matters tab includes sections on exercise and nutrition. The topics include how to plan a safe exercise program, the types of exercise you should do, how to exercise both during and after treatment, and how to stick with it. The Nutrition section provides information on healthy eating during and after treatment, the impact of food on breast cancer risk, a brief section about dietary supplements, and a decent list of nutrition resources.
Get involved
Using the Donate button, you can provide financial support to the breastcancer.org team and the work that they do. Presumably, financial support is necessary to the continued running of the site, but breastcancer.org seems to take a low-key approach to donations. It's a credit to the team that pushing information and resources seems to take precedence over fundraising. The organization scores well with charity evaluator Charity Navigator; it has received a four-star rating for the last six years. (That said, maybe the one negative on this site is the number of advertisements, all by big pharmaceutical companies.)
Another way to get involved is to join the conversation. The Community link (in the header of the website) displays the forum page. Unless you want to post a topic of your own, you can follow conversations without signing in. You can ask questions and respond to the questions of others – there's a lot of support out there! The forum posts are also available in Spanish.
The scope of articles on this website is impressive. It almost seems as if the authors have tried to figure out every single thing that someone facing a breast cancer diagnosis might want to know. There's even a page to help you prepare for a natural disaster that might occur during your treatment.
Overall, this site is well worth taking some time to explore, whether for your own sake or in support of a friend or loved one.

I just meant… the thing is… well, we were in Fisherman's Wharf… and every time I see one of these pirates, I make Mollie take a picture of me with it… (once again, don't ask where his hook went)…
The wig is a nice touch.
This guy sings a mean sea shanty!
And he is a pretty snappy dresser.
A little way down the street, I spotted this guy. Notice he still has his hook. That means that somewhere, there is a factory that makes seamen… or, more specifically, pirates.
I find that both comforting and a little amusing.
Next time you are in Frisco, say hi to the seamen.

Redefining Micro-Budget Filmmaking: The $6,000 'Layover' (Guest Blog) - TheWrap
"On "Layover," I used the only camera available to me at the time that would allow me to be light and compact, without drawing attention to myself (since we were shooting guerilla style) and didn't require a ton of light to get an acceptable image (since were shooting the whole film at night). I used the Canon 5D mk II, and we lit the whole movie using a 1×1 LED panel light, china balls, some Home Depot can lights, and 250 watt practical bulbs. That's it. One of the great things about the Canon 5D mk II and mk III is its light sensitivity. You can shoot using much less light than would be required on an Alexa or a RED. It's also small and compact. It's easy to move, to hold for long periods of time, and delivers a beautiful image if used correctly. For the World Premiere of "Layover," we had the final film blown up to 2K for a DCP and projected onto a 50 foot screen, and it looked really good.
Did we have a professional production sound mixer with thousands of dollars in equipment on set? We did. For one day. And then we realized we couldn't afford it throughout production. So, one of my producers, Vertel Scott, came to me with a solution: an H4N Zoom recorder, wireless lavs, a boom mic and pole. That's it. Our post sound mixer asked us what we had recorded on. I told him and he responded that our rough tracks sounded better than 90 percent of the professional raw audio he gets in."

Some HD-SLR Video Gear Links
Vidpro MR-400 Motorized Focus & Zoom Rig VIMR400 B&H Photo: "The Vidpro MR-400 Motorized Focus & Zoom Rig features a battery-powered focus and zoom belt drive system, a height-adjustable baseplate, 3-door mattebox, and 5 lb counterweight. Integrated thumb switches on the handles control the drive belts at variable speeds dependant on the pressure you apply. A second set of identical switches is located on a rear-mounted component and enables comfortable control when you have the rig mounted on a tripod. The baseplate and shoulder pad both have 1/4" tripod-mount threads underneath."
Essential HD Video Accessories for DSLRs from Adorama Learning Center: "Convergence is a marvelous thing. The ability to combine the elements of high-tech electronics and software in unprecedented new ways his resulted in such marvels as the iPhone, the Blackberry, 8-megapixel cell phones, and yes, digital SLRs that can shoot HD movies of breathtaking quality. When I asked a PhD physicist and software developer why Nikon, Canon and now Panasonic decided to include HD movie capability in their latest DSLRs, he responded laconically, "Because they can." Yes, you can shoot HD movies with your HD-enabled DSLR alone without using any accessories whatsoever other than a lens and a high-capacity memory card, but if your aim is to produce professional looking movies and movie clips, the following accessories will certainly help."

Intro to Shooting on DSLR - Stage 32
In this webinar I examine both the benefits of shooting on DSLR's and I also take a look at some of the challenges they often throw up for the filmmaker. Shooting a movie on a DSLR often requires different additional accessories and lenses to turn it from a stills camera into a camera capable of consistently recording high quality moving images. I take a look at some well-known movies where a DSLR has been used, and examine how they have been used there."

How to Record Audio: Video Tutorial for Nikon HDSLR from Nikon
Many Nikon HDSLRs have a microphone built-in, some even have a stereo microphone built-in. You can use this built-in microphone or if you want more control over how you capture your film's sound, you can purchase an optional accessory mic such as the Nikon ME-1 Stereo Microphone. To find out more about using the ME-1, read this L&E article."

A quick look at DSLR video gear
A Look Inside National Geographic Cinematographer/Producer David Wright's Bag In David's own words, read more about his choice of gear, plus a few valuable lessons he's picked up while on the job. These are all things you may wish to consider for your own video workflow.
The unsung hero of every video shoot is the sound-recordist. Whether shooting live action, an interview or other subjects in-between, I am often reminded that great capture with bad audio is unusable. On the other hand, good audio, even if accompanied by inferior imagery, is almost always useful; if your visual capture was not up to snuff you can usually shoot it again!
I'm convinced the Nikon ME-1 is a great way to equip your camera for video work. The ME-1 has impressive specifications and is compact. It is powerful and will pick-up the smallest of sounds.
Also consider an add-on for improved sound—some sort of wind protection to shield the microphone. If you venture out into the wilds to shoot you'll benefit from a windjammer (windscreen).
An interesting point about a "traditional" cinema lens is that the aperture ring does not have click stops. Most new photography lenses don't have an aperture ring; all adjustments are made via a dial on the camera body.
The solution? Use that filter for easy on-the-fly exposure control. Practice with the variable ND filter and gain expertise in maintaining correct exposure by merely spinning the front element. With practice you can take the motion of your subject, combined with your own movement, to hide in-camera adjustments. No one will even be aware that changes have been made.
For my work I often need to look down into a finder instead of the backside of a camera where the LCD screen is. My solution is to add an external electronic viewfinder. These monitors provide extra features such as focus assist modes, histograms for checking exposure and much more. These added tools will likely help boost your confidence in what you are capturing.
The tripod is not only essential for steady telephoto shots, but the better the head, the smoother the movement during video pan or tilt. There are a lot of brands on the market, but my choice for best build quality, design and price is the Miller range of products. For times when I am on foot and/or need to keep a low profile, I'll also carry a monopod to help steady the capture.

Deadly shooting at Casper College
3 dead at or near Casper College in Wyoming
CASPER, Wyo. | November 30, 2012
Two people were killed in an attack Friday at Casper College in Casper, Wyo., and a third died in a related incident at a nearby location, police said.
Police Chief Chris Walsh said two people were killed at the school's Wold Physical Science Center, but he declined to specify what type of weapon was used and he did not provide details about the location of the off-campus death, the Casper Star-Tribune reported.
The newspaper said Walsh declined to address reports a bow and arrow were used in the attack but he said no firearms were involved.
Walsh said no suspects were at large.
College spokesman Rich Fujita had told the newspaper one person who was wounded in the incident was also a suspect.
Delina Barbosa, a student at the college, told the Star-Tribune she was in class at about 9:10 a.m. MST when a college employee told students they needed to evacuate immediately.
The campus was locked down for a time. The lockdown was lifted but students were advised to restrict their on-campus movements, the report said.
Natrona County School District officials put schools on lockdown as well, and the Wyoming Medical Center was on lockdown for about 30 minutes, the newspaper said.
Casper College said counselors would be available and employees not involved in the school's response to the attack were free to go home for the day.

Meet Subodh Mathur,
He Lives With Kidney Disease
"One day I was on top of the restaurant world. But my world turned upside down when my kidneys stopped working. Not only do I receive regular dialysis treatments while waiting for a transplant, but I had to sell my restaurants and change the way I lived — if I wanted to continue living."
– Subodh Mathur
A successful businessman in Ottawa, Subodh Mathur owned and operated a number of very successful Indian restaurants. While rewarding, this kind of business can take its toll. For Subodh, long hours, eating rich foods, smoking and a diabetic condition were a recipe for trouble.
On a day that he wasn't feeling particularly well, he went to the emergency room of a local hospital. There, he was told he not only had dangerously high blood pressure but also that his kidneys had stopped working. "I was put on dialysis treatment immediately — and on a transplant wait list."
His health obviously coming first, Subodh made the difficult decision to sell every one of his beloved restaurants. "It was the only choice for me," he says.
Subodh settled into what he calls "a new normal." With the support of the Kidney Foundation of Canada — one of 16 national health charities working under the HealthPartners umbrella to transform the health of Canadians —he completely changed his eating and lifestyle habits. This was a difficult thing to do for someone who had enjoyed rich food and the fast pace that is part-and-parcel of owning a string of high-quality restaurants. "I became depressed, but once I adjusted to this 'new normal' and was able to receive my dialysis treatments at home, things improved for me." And when he regained his physical strength, he returned to his beloved kitchen, to cook and experiment.
"My life had meaning again."
These days, Subodh teaches others about the risk factors for kidney disease and promotes organ donation, as he waits for his own gift of life. His message is clear: ask your doctor to screen you regularly for kidney disease, especially if you are high risk. As Subodh knows from personal experience, the right interventions in the early stages could have prevented or even delayed his kidney challenges.
"I am here today, thanks to the resources and support that the Kidney Foundation provides to people with kidney disease," he says. "I am living proof that donating to HealthPartners works."
The Kidney Foundation of Canada is dedicated to kidney health and improved lives for all people affected by kidney disease. The Kidney Foundation reduces the burden of kidney disease by funding and stimulating innovative research, by providing education and support, and by promoting kidney health, organ donation and access to quality healthcare.
HealthPartners proudly supports The Kidney Foundation of Canada.

Decades of sci-fi movies have made it hard to imagine a future withoutaugmented reality. Yet besides the largely fizzled-out promise of Google Glass, little headway seems to have been made integrating digitally-enhanced vision into everyday life. That might be about to change, at least according to the folks over at Daqri, a Los Angeles-based "human-machine interface company." Their recently-announced "Smart Helmet" is billed as the the "biggest makeover" the construction helmet has had in its history
Combining an Intel M7 chip, a RealSense camera, and numerous in-house innovations into a singular, wearable device, the Daqri Smart Helmet is designed specifically for industrial applications and promises to not only improve work site efficiency, but also safety.
"We really feel we have a shot to be the next industrial revolution," said Gaia Dempsey, Cofounder and VP of marketing at Daqri, in a glossy promotional video on their website.
The Smart Helmet includes an array of cameras that enable 360-degree computer vision. High resolution depth sensors facilitate precise tracking and alignments. "What the Daqri Smart Helmet allows the worker to do is take work constructions and augment data or information right on top of the work environment," said Andy Lowery, President of Daqri.
One of the most interesting developments is so-called "Intellitrack" technology, which processes the information received by the helmet's inputs to rapidly "understand the context" of the user. According to promotional material, "The smart helmet knows how you move through a space and it can map the environment and start to create a 3D reconstruction of a facility." When multiple workers are using the smart helmets, the information is shared and "you can build an entire model of a facility with that data."
If the tech is as good as it seems, its implementation could have pretty profound ramifications for both construction and building maintenance, lending the wearer a kind of x-ray view of all the information embedded in a site. I reached out to the company to discuss the possible architectural implications of the Smart Helmet, and spoke with Andy Lowery, Daqri's President.
Sounds exciting. Can you elaborate?
An area that a lot of research is beginning to be conducted is incorporation of Building Information Modeling (BIM) into the helmet. With the inclusion of BIM modeling the user can get an advanced view of various "as designe" features prior to those features being installed. From that, one can quickly ascertain differences between "as designed" and "as built", provide updates to those BIM models, evaluate potential equipment collision risks, visualize features to aid in placement of systems or 'keep out' areas (e.g. avoiding rebar while drilling concrete).
Real time inspection via the Daqri Smart Helmet's array of depth, thermal and high definition cameras becomes an organic capability of each construction worker that wears the helmet. Real time expert guidance to assist less experienced tradesmen can be done simply through our telestration enabled Remote Expert application.
These are just a few of the possible ways that experts are predicting the Daqri Smart Helmet will revolutionize the construction worksite. Both independent and Daqri conducted studies have consistently shown that productivity gains of 30-40 percent can be achieved across the board when incorporating on body mobile sensors paired with robust wearable visualization technology that incorporates augmented reality enabled applications.
Could you tell me a bit about Intellitrack technology and its spatial implications?
Intellitrack is a category of software that Daqri has created which uses Daqri Smart Helmet sensors to create useful data that from there enables a multitude of other applications. Within that software, two advanced algorithmic software libraries enable a user to be both spatially aware of their relative pose position across a large geographic area and second, deliver a real time three dimensional map of the user's surroundings. Daqri uses monocular visual inertial navigation to provide a constant track of pose position of the user.
What this does is combine low drift inertial measurement unit data with camera movement data obtained from a dedicated low power monocular camera system, so that highly accurate relative position can be maintained in three dimensional space. This software does not require wifi beacons, GPS or anything external to the helmet to aid in this positioning. Coupled with this, the Daqri Smart Helmet has two Intel RealSense depth mapping camera systems on the front and back of the helmet that can be used in conjunction with other helmet wearers to construct a real time 3D map of the construction site. The set of information can then be combined to understand your built environment, in real time, as the building or plant is being constructed.
Has Daqri directly worked at all with any architectural practices and/or engineering firms?
Yes. Daqri has quite a few direct architectural, engineering and construction customers and partners. One of the more recent ones in the press that we have started a strategic partnership with is advanced surveying and construction technology company TopCon.
Daqri has a number of other industry, education and trade relationships that we have worked hard in forwarding the consolidation of these groups for the enablement of the productivity and safety gains that can be achieved through incorporation of wearable human machine interfaces like the Daqri Smart Helmet. Through this cooperation we believe that the world will begin to see the Daqri Smart Helmet deployed with onsite construction applications later this year.

Jeff Brinker elected to the National Academy of Engineering
Election to the National Academy of Engineering is one of the highest professional distinctions that can be accorded an engineer.
Academy membership honors those who have made "important contributions to engineering theory and practice" and those who have demonstrated "unusual accomplishment in the pioneering of new and developing fields of technology."
Brief Description of Research
Jeff Brinker joined Sandia National Laboratories as a Member of the Technical Staff in 1979 and initiated a program in the preparation of glasses and ceramics from molecular precursors, so called sol-gel processing.
Brinker developed a variety of templating strategies employing ligands,
molecules, and supramolecular assemblies to precisely control the pore
size of films. The key to this approach is the concept of
evaporation-induced self-assembly, EISA. Starting with a homogeneous
solution of silicic acid, alcohol, water, and surfactant (detergent)
molecules, evaporation during dip- or spin-coating enriches the depositing
film in silica and surfactant, inducing the continuous self-assembly of
silica/surfactant liquid crystalline mesophases. By controlling the
solvent evaporation rate, the precise 3-dimensional nanostructure of the
film can be tailored into a variety of different pore assemblages.
Subsequent removal of the surfactant templates creates a silica fossil of
the liquid crystalline assembly. The precise periodic porosity of these
films has enabled the development of inorganic membranes with the best
reported combination of selectivity and flux for certain difficult gas
separation applications. In addition, the small pores, narrow pore size
distribution, and fully connected framework architecture has made these
films strong competitors in the race for the optimum low-k film for
next-generation microelectronics. These materials are also ideal as
integratable adsorbents and chemical concentrators for use in emerging new
sensor applications such as Sandia's Chem Lab on a Chip.
Brinker extended the EISA concept to the formation of organic-inorganic
nanocomposites that mimicked the hard/soft laminated construction of
natural materials like sea shells (nacre), which due to their hardness,
toughness and strength have been heralded as a holy grail of materials
design and construction. In a process akin to washing dishes, micelles are
used to organize both organic precursors (monomers, crosslinkers, and
initiators sequestered within the hydrophobic micellar interiors) and
hydrophilic inorganic precursors (assembled around the hydrophilic
micellar exteriors.) Evaporation organizes the micelles into liquid
crystalline mesophases, silmultaneously positioning the organic and
inorganic precursors into hundreds of alternating layers in a single step.
Thermal of photoinitiated organic polymerization combined with thermal or
catalytically promoted inorganic polymerization resulted in highly ordered
layered organic/inorganic nanocomposites with covalently bonded
interfaces. This simple evaporation induced route can be considered a
general, efficient means on nanocomposite assembly.

When I first arrived to Zürich, I clicked the ticket dispenser at the bus stop. One ticket was 4.30 CHF (around 4€). I had a 5-km walk to the place where a friend of mine hosted me.
Talking with one of his awesome flatmate, Daniele, the scenario got worse: 750€ of monthly rent for a single room (that's double I've been living with in Trieste, Italy ALL inclusive), super-expensive supermarkets, 700€ the annual transport ticket. I was complaining when in Turin the annual ticket raised up from 175 to 200€…
I really started thinking there was no way to hack Zürich. But when you are on a budget, you are on a budget. So I checked for deals, free admissions, discounts around the city, and well, I found enough things to fill in my 4-days stay in this town!
Start with a free tour of Zürich!
Free tours are now available in a lot of towns. Zürich is one of these. 'Free' does mean that they are tip-based: if you like the tour, you decide how much to give the guide. Many agencies adopted this concept in the last years. This ensures (usually) a high quality tour as the guides know that if the tour isn't good, they won't get any cash. For travelers on a budget, this is quite nice! Check Freewalk Zürich. Thumb up for them! They offer a downtown tour, a tour of Zürich West, the Langstrasse tour (where the nightlife is concentrated) and an expat tour all for free. Plus, they have a number of private and paid tours.
Wildlife park
On the west side of the Lake Zürich there's the Langenberg Wildlife park. Nature lovers, birdwatchers and children as well will enjoy it! I went during fall and colors were just amazing. Even though I didn't see any, you might see wolves, bears and mooses, which are part of a zoo. At the top there's a watchtower from where you can observe and (bring your binoculars!) catch some animals.
You can get to the Wildlife Park easily from the central railway station (Hauptbahnof) jumping off at Sihlwald, or…
Rent a bike for free
Beside the water, the city of Zürich offers another free service: bike rental! upon 20 CHF | 20 € deposit. There are 6 points all over the town where you can get a bike, but the largest ones are close to the main railway station. The bike has to be returned by 9.30 p.m. or you'll have to pay a fine. The town is very bike-friendly being plenty of bycicle pathways. Also, don't forget it's a good exercise for your body! 🙂
Wander around the Lake Zürich
Join the bike rental for free and wander around the Lake Zürich to craft the perfect budget traveler day. We bought sandwiches at the supermarkets (cost: 10€ for sliced bread, ham and cheese) and we didn't have to spend anything the whole day. The feasibility of course depends on the weather. If rainy, switch to free museums!
Zoological museum
The zoological museum is the perfect activity if you are with the family and you don't want to splurge. It is tailored for children and you can spend a couple of hours inside.
You might want to consider to buy a Zürich card if you plan to spend one or three full days, dedicating your time mainly to museums and other attractions. It gives you full access to public transport and free admission to many museums, plus a number of discounts and, as they claim, a 'culinary surprise in selected restaurants'. It costs 24 CHF | 24 € for 24 hours and 48 CHF | 44 € for 48 hours. Given that a daily transport ticket costs 8,60 CHF | 8 € it can be pretty convenient.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 4186
kickstart lilo configuration fails if there is a dos part.
Last modified: 2015-01-07 18:37:51 EST
Using RH6.0, latest boot images, kickstart will work until
it tries to install lilo to the mbr.
I had an existing dos partition defined. When it gets to
the lilo installation point, I get an error that the boot
loader could not be installed. Being the inquisitive type,
I manually removed the dos section from /mnt/etc/lilo.conf
and ran /mnt/sbin/lilo -r /mnt, and then lilo installed.
When I went back to the error screen in the installer and
told it to retry, it failed again. So, I went back to the
shell prompt and cat'ed the /mnt/etc/lilo.conf and it
mysteriously had the dos section again.
Having the lilo portion of kickstart being configurable to
only deal with the linux partitions would be a plus. I can
go back an run lilo again after the machine is up. As it is,
this bug is a kickstart stopper.
Issue is resolved in the latest installer.

but my mind is still in darkness.
There is something though ...
a Message!
I pretend I can't hear it ...
the Message frightens me ,
the Message comes from far away,
from deep within, from home ...
So I keep searching, a tireless search,
distracting myself day after day.
I feel so tired, so drained .
I am suffering.
I create clouds of confusion all around.
But tonight ...
when least expected,
by the dancing candle light,
a familiar face appears!
I look closer ...
at the warm wrinkled face of this wise old woman,
her silver hair and eagle feathers hanging down
from her ears,
a familiar face...
I know her !
I am crying ...
Fragments of visions and words come back :
the galloping white horse, the Messenger,
the touch of the magical white mouse,
the inviting paws of the lion cubs ...
Suddenly it all makes sense !
It's a moment of illumination!
I am still crying
I want to run away.
Was it all a dream? Or perhaps my imagination ?

I HAVEN'T been in front of a video camera since I was a three-year-old bridesmaid at my uncle's wedding.
But when I met the Rochdale Movie Makers they gave me the opportunity to have my 15 minutes of fame once again ... at least in the confines of their meeting room. Thanks to camera wizardry, I was transformed into Parkinson for the night.
I was asked to conduct an interview with one of the members of the club while the cameras rolled - complete with sound, lighting and ...action! The results would then be carefully edited so well that I would appear good enough to conduct the Ten O' Clock News.
Interviewing people is one thing - I'm used to that as a journalist - but being filmed doing it is another. However, I was soon in full swing without even a thought for the film crew and audience in front of me or what I would look like on the monitor. And I managed to find out lots of fascinating facts about the Movie Makers along the way.
The award-winning group was founded back in 1952. It has 15 members and my interviewee, chairman Brian Robinson who joined in 1969, is one of the longest serving.
The youngest member is 25-year-old Jason Warfield from Royton, who came to the club after ditching his media and drama degree course and wanted to continue developing his skills as a filmmaker and scriptwriter.
There are 100 similar clubs throughout the country and they often swap films to catch up with what each other is doing. They make everything from documentaries to comedies.
The Movie Makers, whose film of the Rochdale Canal redevelopment attracted critical acclaim, are always on the lookout for young members.
"They bring fresh ideas and a modern outlook into the group," said Mr Robinson.
Members, they find, join for all kinds of reasons. Some already have a handful of hobbies and others have joined simply because they've invested in a video camera and want to learn how to use it.
Mr Robinson, who joined the club because he wanted to film his children growing up, has now progressed on to filming his grandchildren, Jessica, five, and two-year-old Olivia.
"We have produced various films on Rochdale," he said. "But the biggest job I have worked on was a huge project on the Co-op movement in Rochdale, which lasted over 12 months.
"We showed it to the Co-op because it coincided with their 150th anniversary and they were delighted. They are still selling the film I believe. But we excel at comedies."
The club often drafts in actors for the films from various groups in the area - such as the Whitworth Amateurs and the Curtain Theatre on Milkstone Road - but they also like to have a dabble in front of the camera themselves, as well as in scriptwriting, editing, sound, production and direction.
One of their biggest inspirations is controversial British director Ken Russell, who has The Devils, The Lair of the White Worm and Women in Love to his credit. He also started out in the amateur movement.
One of their former members who has gone on to enjoy huge success as a producer for popular Bolton comedian Peter Kay, of Phoenix Nights fame.
"We only realised what he had gone on to do after we saw him on stage with Peter in Manchester, accepting an award for the British Comedy Awards recently."
However, most of the members, who meet every two weeks, have full-time jobs and keep film making as a favourite pass-time.They pay a small annual subscription and a fee each meeting to cover the cost of the premises.
The Movie Makers, formerly Rochdale Cine Club, have been at St Aidan's Church, Sudden, for the last 12 months, having previously met in Whitworth.
"The films we make are to compete with other cine clubs," said Mr Robinson. "We enter a big competition every year - the North versus South, which we have won. We also won the top comedy prize in an international film festival held in this country. We came top out of teams coming from as far as Australia, with a film about how a man's marriage was ruined when his wife played second fiddle to his love of video.
"We are always on the look out for new members," he said. "If people haven't got their own equipment we have got enough to let them use ours. And if people are interested in the writing or acting side we would be happy to hear from them."
Anyone interested in joining the Rochdale Movie Makers can contact secretary Barbara Jones on 654560.

Toe Touch and Spine Posture Stability
In the vast realm of fitness we try to stay as objective as possible to insure that fitness training for the golfer is efficient, safe, and effective. At FitGolf Performance Centers throughout the nation we periodically conduct research studies to determine how the body influences the golf swing. One of our most eye openings studies to date examined the Toe Touch movement and how the inability to complete an adequate toe touch affects the golf swing.
The Toe Touch Test:
Before I continue I would like you to try the Toe Touch Test. Stand up with your feet together and knees straight. Now, try to touch your toes without your knees bending. Based off my experience I'll venture to say that many of you cannot get to the toes without bending your knees. This is a problem for your golf game.
In our research study "Toe Touch and Spine Posture Stability", we examined the implications of not being able to touch your toes on the golf swing. Based on golfer observations we predicted that not being able to touch your toes will create challenges with maintaining the spine angle through the golf swing. In our study we used the data from 100 golfers to try to prove our hypothesis. We asked each participant to perform the toe touch test. Following the test, we administered swing motion technology to assess their movement in the golf swing.
From the data collected with the motion technology we used the "forward bend" (spine angle) measurement at the address, the top of the swing, and at impact. From our data interpretation we determined that there was statistical significance to suggest that golfers that could touch their toes maintain a more stable posture than golfers who can't touch their toes. The implication: you can be a more consistent golfer if you can touch your toes!
The Toe Touch Fix:
So you can't touch your toes. How do you fix it?
While hamstring inflexibility is a common reason as to why a golfer cannot touch their toes, it is not the only reason. In addition to hamstring flexibility, a lack of core strength and hip mobility are also barriers to touching your toes. The issue is that it is very difficult to self-assess which one of these 3 issues you have. If you believe you have one of these issues, you may want to consider asking a body expert to help resolve the issue(s). If you choose not to deal with your physical issues you may continuously battle posture changes in the swing, a lack of consistency, a lack of power, and potentially worse issues like back pain and injuries.
Exercises For Improvement:
While I can't tell you directly why you are not touching your toes, I am going to give you some safe exercises to address hamstring tightness, hip mobility, and core strength.
Hamstring Stretch on Door Frame:
Let's first address hamstring tightness (and to some extent core strength). I would like you to find an open door frame and lay perpendicular to the right side of the frame. Now place your right heel onto the door frame. Both legs should be completely straight. At this time you should feel a stretch in your right hamstring. The closer you are to the door frame, the more stretch you will feel. Pick a distance from the frame in which you feel a moderate, not intense, stretch. Hold this stretch for 60 seconds. Now, keeping your left leg straight, brace your core and lift your left leg past your right leg. Perform 10 reps. After 10 reps, move slightly closer to the door and hold 60 more seconds. Repeat 2-4 times with the right leg up then switch to the left side.
Double Knees to Chest:
Next we will address hip mobility with the Double Knees to Chest Stretch. This one is simple. Lie down on your back and bring both knees into your stomach or until you feel a stretch in the low back, glutes, or hamstrings. Hold the stretch until you feel the tension decrease.
Glute Bridge:
For core work you will perform the Glute Bridge. The most common association we see with tight hamstrings is weak or inactive glutes. The Bridge exercise is a simple and effective way to activate and strengthen the glutes. To perform the Bridge lay down on your back. Bend your knees with your feet flat on the ground and position the feet about hip width apart. From here, contract your glutes and push your hips up into the air high enough so the body forms a straight line from the knees to the shoulders. You should feel this predominantly in the glutes. If you feel it more in the hamstrings, it's an indication that your hamstrings are over-active. If you do feel it in the hamstrings, lift your toes and slightly arch your back before you push your hips up. This sends a reflex through the body that will help activate the glutes. Perform 2-3 sets of 10 reps and hold each rep 3-5 seconds.
Toe Touch Toes Up/Heels Up:
For the final exercise you are actually going to practice the toe touch movement. What most do not realize is that there is actually a proper method to touch the toes from the standing position. For some individuals, improper mechanics or poor "motor control" is the sole reason as to why they cannot touch the toes. To practice the toe touch, find something around the house you can place on the floor that has the ability to lift your toes 3-5 inches off the floor (2×4, stack of towels, a book, etc). You will also need a soft object to squeeze in between your knees (nerf ball, towels, pillow, etc). Place your toes up on the floor object, keep your heels down on the floor, and place your feet together. Squeeze the soft object between your knees and push your hips (hinge your hips) backwards so your weight shifts all the way to the heels and your upper body bends forward. Maintain the tight squeeze (this helps relax the hamstrings) and try to touch your toes without bending your knees. If you can't get to the toes, allow the knees to bend until you can get to the toes, just keep focusing on keeping your hips back and your pressure through the heels. Repeat the motion 6-8 times then do the same thing with the heels up on the floor object for another 6-8 reps. Re-assess your touch touch with flat feet once you have completed the reps. Notice a change?
Perform these 4 exercises daily for 2-3 weeks and re-assess your toe touch. You should feel less tension in the hamstrings and more mobility in getting to the toes. If so, you should be able to achieve more stable posture in the golf swing and see more consistent ball flight.

Serving modern Indian-inspired small plates and cocktails, Kricket is the new-wave, Indian restaurant by energetic duo Chef Will Bowlby and Rik Campbell.
Combining British ingredients with the authentic flavours of India, Kricket's menu offers refined versions of classic Indian dishes, that aim to be both seasonal and accessible. Championing the rise and rediscovery of modern Indian food in London, Will and Rik opened their first restaurant – Kricket Brixton – in June 2015, seating just 20 inside a tiny shipping container.
Quickly amassing a cult following and becoming particularly well known for their Keralan Fried Chicken, Samphire Pakoras and Bhel Puri, they decided to bring Kricket to Soho, opening their second, larger restaurant in January 2017. Kricket is adored by chefs in London and beyond – with the pair counting Nuno Mendes, Pierre Koffmann and Anna Hanson amongst their fans.

"Essex County" To Film As "Super Zero"
The latest comic book looking to jump from page to screen may involve capes, but it's not the typical superhero blockbuster.
Variety has word that longtime visual effects supervisor John Dykstra (most recently of "X-Men: First Class") has signed on to make "Tales From The Farm" — one of the books in cartoonist Jeff Lemire's award-winning Top Shelf trilogy "Essex County" — into his directorial debut under the new title "Super Zero." The film will be produced by Steven Gilder and Alec Chorches, developed by FX company Rhythm & Hues Studios and come from a screenplay by John Carr.
Originally published in 2008, "Tales From The Farm" explores the relationship between a young boy named Lester who after losing his mother to cancer forms a strong bond with a hockey player turned gas station owner, and the pair survive their lives with the help of fantastic flights of fancy.
Variety's article indicates that "Super Zero" will be live action but will rely heavily on FX work for the fantasy scenes. "I've been so involved in films that are primarily based on the action sequences and over-the-top visuals that this to me was incredibly attractive just based on the depth of the characters and the evocative nature of the story," the director said.
For more, see Variety, and stay tuned for more on "Super Zero" and Jeff Lemire from CBR!

Elitch Gardens is building a 17-story chair swing called Star Flyer
It will be like the ones at the fair, except stupid large. Star Flyer will put guests in pairs of two in "open-air seats, feet dangling and hair blowing," with the chairs swinging around in circles while ascending to the top of a 17-story tower.
It'll open in 2017. No word on where or what might be replaced, or whether the music from the video will be playing at all times. (I hope so.)
I'm also not so sure about Elitch's claim that you'll be swinging "above the clouds." I don't know any clouds that hang out 100 feet about the South Platte.
This is part of a $4 million improvement plan for the park, as the Denver Post reported.

Automotive Mechanic I Salaries By Education, Expertise, Location And More
The longer term might be rocky for auto corporations unable to improve returns on capital. The automotive industry is a capital-intensive industry and hence firms need to realize better returns on their capital investments, to be aggressive. Many firms use capital efficiency measures such as internet current worth (NPV) or internal rate return (IRR). The need is to include these measures into the reporting structure to reinforce the significance of incomes again the cost of capital employed and achieving capital efficiency.
Gear adjustments are nearly imperceptible because of the even spacing of substances ratios and the speed of shifting. The transmissions have 4 gear sets and 5 shift components (multi-disc clutches and brakes); solely two shift parts are open at any time (on each six and eight speeds). By minimizing the number of open shift elements, drag losses may be reduced. A lot of what started the Toyota Production System was not new. They primarily based their authentic system very a lot around what Henry Ford designed for Ford in the US and added most of the ideas that they got by the consultants equivalent to Deming that have been sent to assist them after world battle II.
The primary problem I see from a totally unqualified standpoint is that FCA wasted" precious time and money developing the Hellcat and Demon to cater to a VERY small niche market (in the grand scheme of things), but- Wrangler/JGC withstanding, they do not have a volume vehicle that people truly wish to purchase or that promote in considerable sufficient numbers to make a small, expensive proposition like this seem worthwhile.

FLUOR CORP., an engineering and construction company, said in Irvine, Calif., Friday it was pulling its operations out of South Africa, joining a growing list of U.S. firms withdrawing from the racially segregated country. But Chairman David S. Tappan indicated the divestituret was initiated for economic reasons and probably wouldn`t hasten an end to South Africa`s apartheid policies.
EUROPEAN MANUFACTURERS said Friday in Brussels they had filed a complaint with the European Community Commission, charging that Japanese firms were dumping microchips on the European market. The European Electronic Component Manufacturers` Association said some Japanese suppliers undercut them by up to 36 percent in the market for integrated circuits, or computer chips, for computer memories.
STATE FIRMS in communist Hungary plan to take advantage of American know- how and efficiency by hiring retired U.S. businessmen as temporary consultants, a senior Hungarian official said in Budapest Friday. The cost to the socialist enterprises of a month-long liaison with capitalism will be between 600,000 and 700,000 forints ($13,000 to $15,000), about 100 times what the average Hungarian earns in that time. Ferenc Doktor, a director of the Hungarian Chamber of Commerce, said that a trial run this year had been a great success.
AMOCO CORP., the fifth-largest U.S. oil company, has suspended oil exploration in Liberia due to the fall in oil prices on the world market, the independent Daily Observer said Friday in Monrovia. Amoco, however, said it would retain two of six offshore blocks with the option to remain inactive for the next three years, the newspaper said.
THE NATIONAL BANK OF YUGOSLAVIA announced on Friday it will eliminate small coins and double the denomination of the largest bank note early next year, as the government continues to battle inflation. The annual inflation rate in Yugoslavia reached an all-time high of 93.4 percent in November. A senior official of the National Bank said that as of early next year, the largest bank note denomination will be 10,000 dinars ($24), twice the amount of the largest current denomination. Small coins will be eliminated so that Yugoslavia will become a country without the basic unit of its national currency, one dinar. As of next year, the smallest coin will be 10 dinars (2.5 cents). A local telephone call in Yugoslavia costs 10 dinars.

In the previous post I talked about a personal experience with Swami Satchidananda, a great saint with strong ties to Arunachala. In the below narrative Swami writes very beautifully about the power of devotion to the Guru.
My Masters and Yogiji
"Coming to Anandashram in January 1949 was like returning home, my real home. From the next day of my arrival at the Ashram, I kept myself busy serving the Masters Swami Ramdas (Beloved Papa) and Mother Krishnabai (Pujya Mataji) in every possible way. In a very short time I became one with the Ashram. They taught me that Sadhana was not merely sitting still in meditation with closed eyes, but also living a normal life with constant God-remembrance and doing all acts dedicating them to Him, thus making every movement of the Sadhaka an act or worship. Gradually I understood that, they being everything and beyond, serving them meant serving everybody else also. I found in Beloved Papa and Mataji my divine parents and in all the Ashramites and visitors my brothers and sisters. I found real peace and joy in life, the like of which I had never enjoyed till then.
I came to them absolutely raw and shapeless like a lump of clay. I surrendered to them. They graciously took me in hand, pressed, crushed and moulded me to give shape to make me their instrument to serve all. Beloved Papa also gave me a lot of opportunities to move with his spiritual children who came to him as serious seekers and later became Mahatmas like Yogi Ramsuratkumarji Maharaj. How from an apparently possessive and obstinate nature, the Yogiji who took initiation from Beloved Papa, rose to the height of the Divine child of Arunachala is something for all the ardent Sadhakas to emulate. Not caring for even the basic requirements of the body, he threw himself totally at the feet of his Master whom he always addresses as 'my father'. lt is rare to see such intense vairagya.
For nearly four decades, while he continued to deny himself of any of the normal needs, he became a source of solace and protection for innumerable devotees, more so in Tamil Nadu. His surrender to his Guru was total. He always used to say, "My father alone exists. Nothing else, Nobody else'. Even after dropping his body, the Yogiji continues to inspire many in the path of devotion. I still remember the touching reference he made at the time of our meeting at the guest-house of Sri Ramanasramam, Tiruvannamalai after a long gap of four decades. Answering somebody whether he was waiting for a few hours, he said not hours but for forty years.
To meet saints is a blessing. To be with them is a greater blessing. To be given a chance to serve them is a great privilege."
[Swami Satchidananda]
