Title: 2062: The World That AI Made
Author: WALSH TOBY
Many people think the future is something we need to adjust to, rather than what we decide through the choices we make today. This book looks at the choices we are starting to make that will define this future. The majority of experts in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics predict we are likely to have built machines as intelligent as us by the year 2062. What will the future look like when the quest to build intelligent machines has succeeded?
In 2062, Professor of Artificial Intelligence, Toby Walsh, a world-leader in the field and one of the 100 'rock stars' of Australia's digital revolution, considers the impact AI will have on work, war, equality, politics and, ultimately, the fate of humanity. Will automation take away most of our jobs? When will we start to see this happen? Will the robots take over? Will they become conscious? Will we perhaps become machines? Will inequality continue to increase? How can we prevent this? How will political debate adjust to the post-truth, digital world? How do we make the right choices today to ensure our future is bright?
Based on a deep understanding of the technology and its implications, 2062 describes the choices we need to make today to ensure a good future. Walsh answers some of the most important and pressing questions facing us today. He concludes that, if we plan well, the future past 2062 could be very bright indeed but we need to start making some difficult choices today.

Robots may one day rule the world, but what is a robot-ruled Earth like?Many think the first truly smart robots will be brain emulations or ems. Scan a human brain, then run a model with the same connections on a fast computer, and you have a robot brain, but recognizably human.Train an em to do some job and copy it a million times: an army of workers is at your disposal. When they can be made cheaply, within perhaps a century, ems will displace humans in most jobs. In this new economic era, the world economy may double in size every few weeks.Some say we can't know the future, especially following such a disruptive new technology, but Professor Robin Hanson sets out to prove them wrong. Applying decades of expertise in physics, computer science, and economics, he uses standard theories to paint a detailed picture of a world dominated by ems.While human lives don't change greatly in the em era, em lives are as different from ours as our lives are from those of our farmer and forager ancestors. Ems make us question common assumptions of moral progress, because they reject many of the values we hold dear.Read about em mind speeds, body sizes, job training and career paths, energy use and cooling infrastructure, virtual reality, aging and retirement, death and immortality, security, wealth inequality, religion, teleportation, identity, cities, politics, law, war, status, friendship and love.This book shows you just how strange your descendants may be, though ems are no stranger than we would appear to our ancestors. To most ems, it seems good to be an em.

Title: Agile Data Warehouse Design: Collaborative Dimensional Modeling, from Whiteboard to Star Schema
Author: CORR LAWRENCE
Agile Data Warehouse Design is a step-by-step guide for capturing data warehousing/business intelligence (DW/BI) requirements and turning them into high performance dimensional models in the most direct way: by modelstorming (data modeling + brainstorming) with BI stakeholders. This book describes BEAM?, an agile approach to dimensional modeling, for improving communication between data warehouse designers, BI stakeholders and the whole DW/BI development team. BEAM? provides tools and techniques that will encourage DW/BI designers and developers to move away from their keyboards and entity relationship based tools and model interactively with their colleagues. The result is everyone thinks dimensionally from the outset! Developers understand how to efficiently implement dimensional modeling solutions. Business stakeholders feel ownership of the data warehouse they have created, and can already imagine how they will use it to answer their business questions. Within this book, you will learn: ? Agile dimensional modeling using Business Event Analysis & Modeling (BEAM?) ? Modelstorming: data modeling that is quicker, more inclusive, more productive, and frankly more fun! ? Telling dimensional data stories using the 7Ws (who, what, when, where, how many, why and how) ? Modeling by example not abstraction; using data story themes, not crow's feet, to describe detail ? Storyboarding the data warehouse to discover conformed dimensions and plan iterative development ? Visual modeling: sketching timelines, charts and grids to model complex process measurement - simply ? Agile design documentation: enhancing star schemas with BEAM? dimensional shorthand notation ? Solving difficult DW/BI performance and usability problems with proven dimensional design patterns Lawrence Corr is a data warehouse designer and educator. As Principal of DecisionOne Consulting, he helps clients to review and simplify their data warehouse designs, and advises vendors on visual data modeling techniques. He regularly teaches agile dimensional modeling courses worldwide and has taught dimensional DW/BI skills to thousands of students.

Title: AI Superpowers: China, Silicon Valley, & the New World Order
Author: LEE KAI-FU
Dr. Kai-Fu Lee--one of the world's most respected experts on AI and China--reveals that China has suddenly caught up to the US at an astonishingly rapid and unexpected pace.
Kai-Fu Lee argues powerfully that because of these unprecedented developments in AI, dramatic changes will be happening much sooner than many of us expected. Indeed, as the US-Sino AI competition begins to heat up, Lee urges the US and China to both accept and to embrace the great responsibilities that come with significant technological power.
Most experts already say that AI will have a devastating impact on blue-collar jobs. But Lee predicts that Chinese and American AI will have a strong impact on white-collar jobs as well. Is universal basic income the solution? In Lee's opinion, probably not. But he provides a clear description of which jobs will be affected and how soon, which jobs can be enhanced with AI, and most importantly, how we can provide solutions to some of the most profound changes in human history that are coming soon.

Title: All the Ghosts in the Machine: How the Digital Age Is Transforming Death in the 21st Century
Author: KASKET ELAINE
'As charming and touching as it is astute and insightful'
Adam Alter, New York Times bestselling author of Irresistable and Drunk Tank Pink
Seen any ghosts on your smartphone lately?
As we're compelled to capture, store and share more and more of our personal information, there's something we often forget. All that data doesn't just disappear when our physical bodies shuffle off this mortal coil. If the concept of remaining socially active after you're no longer breathing sounds crazy, you might want to get used to the idea. Digital afterlives are a natural consequence of the information age, a reality that barely anyone has prepared for - and that 'anyone' probably includes you.
In All the Ghosts in the Machine, psychologist Elaine Kasket sounds a clarion call to everyone who's never thought about death in the digital age. When someone's hyperconnected, hyperpersonal digital footprint is transformed into their lasting legacy, she asks, who is helped, who is hurt, and who's in charge? And why is now such a critical moment to take our heads out of the sand?
Weaving together personal, moving true stories and scientific research, All the Ghosts in the Machine takes you on a fascinating tour through the valley of the shadow of digital death. In the process, it will transform how you think about your life and your legacy, in a time when our technologies are tantalising us with fantasies of immortality.

Author: NANCY JO SALES
A New York Times Bestseller
Award-winning Vanity Fair writer Nancy Jo Sales crisscrossed the country talking to more than two hundred girls between the ages of thirteen and nineteen about their experiences online and off. They are coming of age online in a hypersexualized culture that has normalized extreme behavior, from pornography to the casual exchange of nude photographs; a culture rife with a virulent new strain of sexism; a culture in which teenagers are spending so much time on technology and social media that they are not developing basic communication skills.
The dominant force in the lives of girls coming of age in America today is social media: Instagram, Whisper, Yik Yak, Vine, Youtube, Kik, Ask.fm, Tinder.
Provocative, explosive, and urgent, American Girls will ignite much-needed conversation about how we can help our daughters and sons negotiate the new social and sexual norms that govern their lives.

Title: Apple Revolution the Real Story of How Steve Jobs & the Crazy Ones Took Over the World
Author: DORMEHL LUKE
The story behind the rise of the world's largest technology company.
On May 26, 2010 Apple Inc. passed Microsoft in valuation as the world's largest technology company. Its consumer electronic products -- ranging from computers to mobile phones to portable media devices, not to mention its iTunes, iBook and App Store -- have influenced nearly every facet of our lives, and it shows no sign of slowing down. But how did Apple -- a company set up in the back room of a house by two friends, and one that always marketed itself as the underdog -- become the marketplace leader (and the world's second largest company overall), and is it a good thing to have one company hold so much power?
In "The Apple Revolution" Luke Dormehl shares the inside story of how Apple Inc. came to be; from the formation of the company's philosophies and user-friendly ethos, to the "iPod moment" and global domination, leaving you with a deep understanding of how it was created, why it has flourished, and where it might be going next.

- Army of None: Autonomous Weapons & the Future of WarISBN: 9780393356588
Title: Army of None: Autonomous Weapons & the Future of War
Author: SCHARRE PAUL
The era of autonomous weapons has arrived. Today around the globe, at least thirty nations have weapons that can search for and destroy enemy targets all on their own. Paul Scharre, a leading expert in next-generation warfare, describes these and other high tech weapons systems--from Israel's Harpy drone to the American submarine-hunting robot ship Sea Hunter--and examines the legal and ethical issues surrounding their use. "A smart primer to what's to come in warfare" (Bruce Schneier), Army of None engages military history, global policy, and cutting-edge science to explore the implications of giving weapons the freedom to make life and death decisions. A former soldier himself, Scharre argues that we must embrace technology where it can make war more precise and humane, but when the choice is life or death, there is no replacement for the human heart.

Sparse Matrices and OpenCL
>> Saturday, March 12, 2011
I finally finished implementing the Conjugate Gradient (CG) algorithm in OpenCL, and judging from a casual web search, I think this is the first time it's been done. The theory isn't simple by any means, and despite Jonathan Shewchuk's excellent paper on the subject (available here), there are still a few places where I'm not satisfied.
Thankfully, Matlab provides an m-file that shows how the CG algorithm is implemented, so I was able to check my work. Last night, I tested my code with the BCSSTK05 sparse matrix from NIST's Harwell-Boeing collection, and it converged with a final residual of 0.067. Happy day.
I was also planning to implement the biconjugate gradient stabilized algorithm, also known as BiCGSTAB, in OpenCL, but when I tried the Matlab bicgstab routine with NIST's LNS_131 matrix, the algorithm didn't converge. Even after 20,000 iterations, the residual stayed above ten thousand.
This amazes me. Finite element analysis (FEA) has been around since the 1960s, so I figured all the mathematical theory had been riddled out years ago. But from what I've seen, coding sparse matrix solvers is still more of an art than a science.
GPUs excel at highly-parallel algorithms, so it might be better to have them solve sparse matrix systems using direct methods instead of iterative methods. Need to give this more thought.

"What I can promise you, one of the things we're working on most, is when you come see us at ball games, starting with High Point Solutions Stadium, you have a world-class, Disney World experience. That's important to us." --Julie Hermann, Rutgers Athletic Director
First of all, it's properly referred to as "Rutgers Stadium" or "R House".
Second, most of our fans are past the age of ten and couldn't imagine a worse hell than being subjected to a "Disney World experience" when attending a Rutgers football game.
Just thought I'd get that on the record. That's important to me.

AUTOSAT® Automatic Pallet Shuttle
AUTOSAT® is an automatic shuttle able to move within the drive-in channels, offering high density automated storage. Controlled by an interactive radio transmitter, AUTOSAT® is able to load, unload and arrange pallets into the drive-in channels. Moved by the traditional fork lift or automatically using AUTOSATMOVER ™, AUTOSAT® operates in every channel according to the FIFO (First in First out) and LIFO (Last in First out) procedures. One of the best uses for AUTOSAT® is in refrigerated warehouses where temperatures can reach down to -30°. In such an environment, storage systems have to maximise the number of pallets and minimize the number of aisles to optimize the cost/benefit ratio.
Storage method utilized in the food and pharmaceutical industries where precise management of expiry dates is required. It favours the picking of pallets containing goods produced earlier, hence stored as first. AUTOSAT® operates in this function allowing storage from the front and picking from the opposite end of the racking system. It is therefore necessary that the two faces of the racks are accessible to allow storage and picking.
Storage method for goods which do not have expiry dates, where 'First Stocked', 'First Picked' is not a requirement. AUTOSAT® operates in this function allowing storage and picking from the same side of the racking system. In this method only one side of the rack is needed.

If you're still as angry as I am about that in particular, we've been invited by the Libre.FM staff to work with them to improve their site. They're open to discussions. This is a really big deal. There have been countless people asking for somebody to build a new site. This is that chance to be a part of that.
It's time to roll up your sleeves and at least try. After all, it means nothing if you complain without actually trying to fix the problem. I'm hopeful that the Last.FM community, regardless of what skills you build to the table, could make something that feels more like home. This meeting of minds is nothing more than that at the moment. It's a chance for us to discuss the future and figure out what we could potentially do.
I hope to see you guys there!
but still I am making high hopes on Hatchet! *.*
All we're doing is complaining, and those complaints are falling on deaf ears. The petition, I'm sorry to say, was a failure. It's time for Plan B. If you're not willing to do the work to change it, then just sit down. You're not being productive.
I've tried routing ws.audioscrobbler.com to turtle.libre.fm but it didnt work.
In terms of your computer, you'd need to edit your hosts file to do it. I haven't tried it off hand. @Nat.zingg has and had some instructions.
Thats pathetic.
edit: If they didn't add that back that would be a major put-off. That your scrobble data belongs to you, i.e. you can export all of it at any time, was one of the very early and very strong promises of last.fm.
the problem is the import.
edit: this 5 year old article says import to libre.fm / GNU fm is a thing.
Personally, I think it can be done. It's only a matter of time, and we'll need a lot of people to help as well.
I don't know who to talk to or where to get the code from, so.... no use in rolling up my sleeves?
Just read another thread about this place. It's brand new so it's still in alpha but I've never really been disappointed in MusicBrainz. And since it's linked to MB it'll probably use its database for tags. It's importing my history now.
"Go to your Last.fm library and click the bookmarklet you just added to your toolbar.
This starts the import of your listens. Please leave the page open and don't navigate away from it until the import process is complete.
After that, you're done. Thanks"
Seriously? I have 222,155 scrobbles. It will take ages to get all of them. They should make a service that works on their servers in background, not to run on the users' computers.
BUT... they have their code on github and what looks like decent instructions and few dependencies. Which in my opinion makes it more promising for future development than libre.fm.
And as you can see in the import guide, they apparently have a theoretical interface for uploading with external tools. So one could use something similar to lastscrape (or even a modified version of lastscrape?) to import the scrobbles. Which did work for me with libre.fm.
Of course it might still take a while to develop that. But I hope that they will. I will bookmark and keep watching the site.
Thanks a lot @ angriestchair! :)

Anwar Ibrahim newly appointed legal adviser who hails from US, Kimberly Motley is unperturbed by the threat of Sungai Besar Umno division chief Jamal Md Yunos to chase her out of the country.
Motley, who as a human rights lawyer and was to be part of former Anwar Ibrahim's legal team said it was not the first time she had encountered such threat in her entire career.
"Anwar is a political prisoner and should be free. I respect people's right to freedom of speech and it is Jamal's right to disagree with me.
"However I respect my own freedom of speech which includes my right to not listen to Jamal's and whoever else's nonsense.
"If Jamal would like to have a constructive conversation about Anwar's case and why I know Anwar is innocent, I am happy to discuss it," Motley told FMT in an e-mail response.
On Sept 15, Jamal urged the public to be present at the Federal Court next month in a bid to chase Motley out of the country.
Motley is expected to be present at the Federal Court on Oct 12 where Anwar's review of his sodomy 2 conviction would be heard.
Motley added that she looked forward to continuing to be part of Anwar's legal team and that included going to court.
"Jamal's actions further demonstrate that Anwar is innocent and should be free," she said, adding that Jamal's determination to dismiss Anwar's legal counsel should be of concern to all Malaysians and people around the world who value truth and justice.
Motley also took to offering Jamal a piece of advice, saying that as an elected official, he should strive to be an example to the "wonderful Malaysian people and should be more interested in following the law and justice."

Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571 – 1610)
Born in Milan in September 1571, the artist Michelangelo Merisi, better known as Caravaggio, ranks amongst the most influential painters in the history of art. His paintings combined a new form of realistic observation of the human state, both physical and emotional with a theatrical use of light infusing that gave his works a dramatic character. He was the archetypal rebellious artist who led a turbulent life. In May 1606 whilst working successfully in Rome, one of his many brawls resulted in Caravaggio killing a man named Ranuccio Tomassoni during a duel. The pope hastily issued a bando capitale against him. Fearing for his life, Caravaggio fled and headed for Naples, outside the Roman jurisdiction. After just a few months, despite a successful period in Naples where he was given a number of important church commissions, Caravaggio left for Malta, the headquarters of the Knights of the Order of St John of Jerusalem, arriving on the island aboard a vessel of the Order on 12 July 1607. Caravaggio was encouraged to travel to Malta knowing that The Order was seeking a court painter. On 14 July 1608, after a year on the island, Grand Master Alof de Wignacourt, accepted Caravaggio in the folds of the Order as a Knight of Obedience.
Documents show that the Grand Master was fully aware of Caravaggio's heinous act, which should have impeded the artist from entering the Order. The Grand Master, however, had obtained a unique papal permission to accept the artist within the Order. Whilst in Malta, Caravaggio painted 'The Beheading of St John the Baptist' and 'St Jerome Writing', both of which are preserved in St John's Co-Cathedral. During his Maltese sojourn, Caravaggio also painted 'Sleeping Cupid' and 'Portrait of a Knight of Malta' (Fra Antonio Martelli) both of which are today exhibited in The Pitti, Florence, and 'Portrait of Grand Master Alof de Wignacourt with a Page', displayed in the Louvre, Paris.
This period of relative calm in his life was short lived, and by late August 1608, Caravaggio was in trouble once again, this time causing damage to the house of Fra Prospero Coppini, the organist of St John's Church and wounding a Knight of Justice, Fra Giovanni Rodomonte Roero, Conte della Vezza. He was arrested and imprisoned in Fort St Angelo. Disgraced and unable to paint, Caravaggio did not wait for his trial but escaped from the fort and escaped from Malta. In a meeting of the Public Assembly held in the Oratory of St John's Church on 1 December 1608, Caravaggio, in front of his masterpiece, the 'Beheading of St John the Baptist' was "expelled and thrust forth like a rotten and fetid limb" from the Order.

The clinic's Medical Director is Mr. Anselm Agwunobi. Mr. Agwunobi, a Consultant gastroenterologist and Hernia Specialist Surgeon with 20 year's surgical experience. He has carried out over 5,000 general and gastrointestinal procedures as a specialist Consultant surgeon, for both NHS and private patients. Mr Agwunobi specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal and abdominal conditions through the use of minimally invasive surgical techniques, known as laparoscopic or keyhole surgery

The Apple Surgical Clinic team provides a calm and supportive environment. We understand that many people are anxious about the prospect of gastroenterology surgery, so we will take the time to answer your questions, allay your concerns and help you make the treatment decisions that are right for you.
Mr Agwunobi and the team, Thank you ever so much, for not only perfectly repairing my double lower inguinal hernia, but for engineering the timing of the procedure around my busy work schedule. The professionalism and friendliness of you and your staff set the standards that the rest of the medical industry should be aiming for. First class, well done. J.S Stockport
I recently underwent a 'Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication,' under the expert care of Mr Anselm Agwunobi. From the first moment that I met him until I was recently discharged from his care, I felt completely at ease. His warm, understanding and caring attitude, together with his astounding expertise, meant that my surgery and aftercare was utterly outstanding. Mr Ogwunobi is, without doubt, an outstanding surgeon. His surgery has completely changed my life for the better, with a faultless operation and absolutely minimal scarring. Within weeks following his Laprascopic surgery, I was eating normally, albeit smaller portions. I have heard that some patients after this procedure still have problems months or years later, with significant scarring. I know that recovery and the appearance of surgery are wholly and totally a result of the expertise of the surgeon, and in Mr Agwunobi's case, this is exemplary and second to none! I cannot fault his manner, work, and total professionalism. It has been an absolute pleasure to be in his care and I cannot recommend him highly enough! I would not hesitate to recommend this consummate professional. One cannot fail to be impressed by this wonderful surgeon/consultant. Kind regards, M.P, Didsbury
I would like to praise Mr Anselm Agwunobi for his professionalism in his work when operating on me on 1st April. When it comes to customer values I was catered for fully. An asset to the profession. If I was to offer any feedback at all it would be to switch to a true blue. A true professional. Thank you. PW, Manchester
Many thanks for the smoothest procedure and recovery I have undertaken in my life. I am very grateful for the life change you have given me. Ms A.A, Altrincham
This is just a very small token of my appreciation towards you and all the medical staff involved in my operation. Saying thank you does not seem like enough, as the operation you performed on me has been life changing. My immediate family feels the same as I do. So thank you very much indeed, it means the world. Mr R.M, Liverpool
Thank you for all the work, support and time you have given to me. You have restarted my life and vastly improved my health. My surgery has totally boosted my confidence and eased my social and family environment. I have never felt so relaxed and at ease as I did with your team. Once again, thank you for giving me back my life and a future. I will always remember you. M.F, Liverpool
Just a little note to say thank you for looking after me during my stay at The Alexandra Hospital. I could not have asked for better treatment and you really put me at ease regarding the operation. A.B, Blackburn
I'd just like to say how much I appreciate what you have done for me. Your kindness will always be in my heart. Ms C.K, Blackburn
I thought I'd drop you a note after you met with my wife and discussed the problem she's been having with acid reflux. I just wanted to express my sincere appreciation for the care and concern you've shown her. She has suffered for the best part of a year having tests, drugs, and consultations and it has caused her the utmost anxiety. The relief after her consultation with you was remarkable. We hear many concerns about our health care professionals being short of the mark, but we feel blessed to be under the care of such an outstanding consultant. Mr J.G, Crewe
Thank you so much for doing my operation. You have changed my life forever! I am sure you think you were just doing your job, but really, honestly you change people's lives. Ms S.W, Isle of Man

If you're interested in fundraising for us and need a little inspiration, here's our list of fundraising ideas for your next event.
Run a 5k, 10k, half or full marathon…
We're now so spoiled for choice when it comes to running events, you really can find a race to challenge you and inspire friends, family and colleagues to dig deep. You can find the perfect race by at Runner's World event calendar, where you can search by distance and difficulty. Once you've signed up to the race, it's never been easier to raise money online or through social media.
… or a movie marathon
Raise money and indulge your love of movies by inviting your friends and family to a movie marathon. Challenge each other to watch the whole of the Harry Potter series, The Lord of the Rings films or, if you have a weekend to spare, how about every single James Bond film?
Charity bike ride
If you prefer your exercise more pedal-powered, getting a group of friends together to take on a cycling challenge is another popular fundraising option. Either choose a well-known charity bike ride route, such as the famous London To Brighton route – or even London To Paris if you really fancy a challenge – or arrange your own.
Collection tin
Don't forget the good, old-fashioned collection tin, which is still one of the best ways to raise money for your chosen charity. Make sure you publicise that you're collecting and place it somewhere in your workplace where it's visible to people walking by – either by reception or in a kitchen.
For the thrill-seeking fundraiser, a charity skydive ticks the boxes of being challenging and something that will encourage friends and family to give generously. There are a lot of organisations set up for tandem skydives, so check for suitable skydive schools in your local area who offer this. If, like the rest of us, skydiving isn't your thing, other high-octane activities include bungee jumping or obstacle course races, like Tough Mudder.
This is a popular way to raise money for good causes that people love to take part in. The key to running a great charity auction is finding auction prizes your audience value highly. The best auction prizes are those one-of-a-kind-items – such as signed football or rugby merchandise – or experiences, such as having lunch with a celebrity or winning a VIP ticket to an event.
It's an oldie but it's a goodie when it comes to raising funds and something nearly everyone can contribute to. The success of your raffle depends on how good the prizes are on offer as this increases ticket sales. A good idea is to ask people you know if they would donate suitable prizes or approach local and national businesses who are usually happy to donate for a good cause.
Dress to work day
Whether you're at school, college or work, everyone loves a bit of dressing up (or down). A simple way to raise funds is to arrange a dress to work day, where people make a small donation for the privilege. A good idea is to base the day around a theme, such as superheroes or sports stars.
Bake sale
"No, thanks, I don't want cake…" said no-one ever. If you're a dab hand in the kitchen or know friends who are, there's no more enjoyable way to raise money than appealing to your work colleagues' taste buds.
Film quiz
This is really simple but fun idea to raise money for a good cause. Organise a date, time and location for your quiz. You can run this at your school, in your office or find a pub or other venue willing to host you for the evening and invite teams to take part.
Charity dinner
Organising a charity dinner takes more effort than many other fundraising options but is one of the best ways to raising a lot of money for a good cause while providing a great experience for all involved. Choose a suitable venue, choose your entertainment and start selling tickets for the big night. Of course, it doesn't just have to be a dinner. You could do a charity breakfast, lunch or even barbecue. And to raise even more money, combine a charity dinner with other fundraising options such as a raffle, film quiz or auction.

This week's recipe for Baked Sunday Mornings is the Simple Chocolate Whiskey Tart, from Baked Elements. Man, did we love this one! The tart consists of a buttery shortbread crust, topped with a rich, fudgy chocolate filling. Daren thought it tasted almost like a brownie in tart form (not the texture, just the chocolate-yness). We couldn't taste the whiskey in the final product (there's only 2 tablespoons in the whole thing), but I didn't necessary think that was a bad thing The recipe was simpler than most from the Baked boys, which was a welcome reprieve this week. As much as I love my KitchenAid, sometimes a recipe that doesn't involve pulling out the mixer is great! I don't have a full-size tart pan, so I made individual mini tarts instead. The recipe worked perfectly for 6 mini (4-inch) tarts; just decrease the baking time to 12-13 minutes. When they came out they looked almost like giant peanut butter cups – which led to the fantastic idea of trying to add a layer of peanut butter filling next time. Yum!
For the recipe and to see what everyone else thought, head on over to Baked Sunday Mornings!
Yield: 1 9-inch or 6 4-inch tarts

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Details of a proposal and financing plan in a significant public-private partnership that allows Metro to build and own a new minor-league ballpark at Sulphur Dell is being presented to members of the Metro Council and Nashville Sports Authority today.

Total: $3.295 million
Budget costs eliminated Sounds obligation: ($250,000)
Lease at Nashville School of the Arts: ($410,000)
Total: ($660,000)
- Annual net operating impact to Metro budget: $345,000
- Sources of revenue to make payment
Basic transaction
- Metro gets the following property:
- Land for ballpark development, plus adjacent greenway land, from State of Tennessee, Embrey and Nashville Sounds.
- 28 acres at the former Tennessee Preparatory School, which Metro has been leasing from the State.
- State receives money from Metro to construct a parking garage onsite to replace parking lots being developed into ballpark, which will include 1,000 spaces for Sounds patrons, and to construct another parking garage for future State parking.
Metro and State Agreement
- State property transferring to Metro:
- Land for ballpark, greenway and development parcel.
- Tennessee Preparatory School property (on Foster Avenue).
- Total: Appraised value of $21million plus
What Metro pays the State:
- $18 million to construct 1,000-space garage for State employees and Sounds patrons.
- $5 million to construct future underground garage at proposed new Tennessee State Library and Archives.
- Total: $23 million
Metro and Embrey Development Corp.
- Land swap between Metro and Embrey includes Metro's right to acquire property from Embrey for the ballpark for $3.45 million, while Embrey has a right to acquire development parcel from Metro for $3.45 million (less reimbursement of duplicative costs).
Lease terms for Nashville Sounds

Karst Country is a collaboration between artists Glen Ryan and Phil Ryan that has resulted in some absolutely surreal infrared imagery. This timelapse, shot with both RED Epic and Scarlet cameras at 4k resolution, is a joy to watch. I always find it so refreshing to see when new techniques are integrated into timelapse movies. For a few BTS images and some musings from the creators, be sure to check out their blog, which can be found here.

But but but...I already posted a short film today that was titled "The most beautiful short film you'll see today"
I didn't think you'd go off and challenge me two hours later.
Damn good.. any idea, how to get a 4K video to watch?
I can't get over how beautiful the colds look in IR... wow!
my eyes liked it but my ears not so much......
Is there a way to achieve this color with white balance or something like that without infrared? I just got a rebel t2i and would love to try this effect. It's awesome!

This is a super easy pickled peppers recipe. No skinning needed. Just slice and pack. My favorite peppers for this are banana peppers. We then use these on omelets in the mornings.
This recipe can also be used for, pickled jalapeno peppers, hot peppers, mild peppers like Anaheim even sweet bell peppers.
Garden fresh is always best!
Note: These are mild peppers so it should not be a problem but if you are ever working with hot peppers be sure and wear gloves. The peppers have oils that will burn your skin.
Ask me how I know! In fact I did indeed wear gloves to slice these up... just in case. :0)
Start by preparing jars,and get water in your canner
(see Water Bath Canning for full directions)

Wash peppers well and remove stem end; If using bell peppers remove seeds and centers. Slice peppers into ¼-inch thick rings. I decided to do some jars with specific types of peppers. For example one jar had all bell peppers another all Anaheim. I also like mixing them up too. It is just your preference.
These are peppers ready for the jar. I had a combination of peppers here. Bell peppers, a few Anaheim, and banana peppers.
Place ½ tablespoon celery seed and 1 tablespoon mustard seed in each 1 pint jar. (1/2 that amount for half pints) Pack peppers into jars leaving 1/2 inch head space.
In a large pot, combine the cider vinegar, water and salt; heat to boiling. Make your brine right in a tea pot and it makes it easy to pour the brine into your jars. No ladle needed. Much less dripping and mess.
Cover with vinegar solution. leaving 1/2 inch head space.
Release air bubbles using a small plastic utensil. Orange peelers work perfect for this. Wipe off the rims of your jars so no seeds or food particles interfere with the lid sealing. Then process according to water bath canning instructions.
Time given
is for elevation of 1000 feet or less. Don't forget to adjust your time for
your altitude.
Process pickled peppers in pints or half pints 10 minutes. Quarts are not suggested.
Altitude Adjustments for Boiling Water Bath Canner
Altitude in Feet - increase processing time
1,001-3,000 - increase 5 minutes
3,001-6,000 - increase 10 minutes
6,001-8,000 - increase 15 minutes
8,001-10,000 - increase 20 minutes
For more information on why this is important, see this altitude adjustments page.
Someone asked on our canning facebook group about how to use all the pickled peppers she made. Goodness! She got LOTS of answers...
"Mississippi pot roast, google it"
"Good on salad and pizza"
"Bloody Mary's"
"Crock pot beef and peppers italian"
"Pizza or pinto beans"
"with cheese in my sandwich maker, tons of them...yum!"
"Crockpot Italian beef: beef roast, whole pint of pickled peppers and two pkgs or equivalent Italian seasoning mix. Dump in crockpot and cook on low til meat falls apart. Delish with provolone on hoagie buns"
"Christmas gifts"
"omelets Mmmmmmm"
"I grind them up and add them to sour cream for chip dip"
"With cream cheese on triscuits. Yum"
"Nachos. We've put in Crock-Pot when making pulled pork sandwiches."
"Add to mac n cheese, and lasagna or spaghetti sauce"

You know that stack of old phones and tablets gathering dust in your bottom drawer, donate them to a good cause? The non-profit group Books for America is now accepting cell phones, iPods, tablets, e-readers and laptops, the proceeds of which go toward improving libraries in schools, shelters and various other non-profit organizations.
Donated devices will either be sold online or given to partner organizations that support abused or otherwise disadvantaged woman and families. Since Books for America is a 501c non-profit, 100 percent of the net revenue from the gadget donations directly support the cause, as opposed to other organizations that might only donate a fraction of the proceeds.
Books for America can only accept cell phones, iPods, tablets and e-readers that have been released in the past six years and laptops must be from the last 7 years. Although notebooks do not need to be in functioning, all other gadgets must be in working condition and include a power cord if possible. And, just in time for Earth Day next week, there's rarely a better time of year for recycling ewaste.
