Four band audio bargraph display, using IN-13 Nixie linear bars.
A couple of years ago, I stumbled upon an IN-9 Nixie linear display datasheet in Russian.
Some fellow members (Prairedog and Altaero) in this forum, helped me translate it and my curiosity was piqued.
I was able to obtain some IN-13 tubes on Ebay (they are longer and more linear) and after making some static displays, decided that it would be best if I made an audio VU display.
Almost simultaneously, I found the MSGEQ7 Seven Band Graphic Equalizer IC, and decided that it would be a better project.
I finally completed the project as shown in the video: https://youtu.be/5oLu2AATviQ
The core is a solid block from a Mesquite root, which is hard enough to be machined and provides a very unique and handsome look.
The video does not do proper justice how gorgeous this project actually looks in person.My batteries are recharged by "Helpful Post" ratings.

1,001 miraculous uses for duct tape and all of them temporary.
Eleven not-awful hours over two days of shared taxis and minivans to get to Artush alplager / alpinist's camp in western Tajikistan's Fan mountains. Once some heavy rain let up, I began my four-day trek to loop up and over a couple of passes and visit Alauddin Lake, where genies go to die.
But by the time I'd ascended about 800m up to Kulikalon Lake at 2800m, my decaying sole was flapping off my left boot like an exhausted dog's tongue. I'd wrapped it in duct tape earlier in the day, after first noticing the deteriorating relationship between rubber and leather. But as I ought to know better than anyone, that's a delicate relationship.. And the sharp rocks chewed right through my solution in a couple hours.
So I rewrote my plan to three relaxing nights in my tent by the lake. Just me, the occasional passing herdsman, and a shy dude now and then collecting firewood with a donkey. The second day rain began around 1pm and kept up through the night, so I squeezed in long hours of reading and listened to many TED Talks.
I also tried to think of the number of fictional characters referred to as "the man." The man with one red shoe, the man of La Mancha, the man who would be king, the man inside me, Hollow Man, and the man who wrecked the buffet at the Harrow Club this morning, to name a few. It was much harder to think of all their specific character names.
Despite the disruption it was a great few solitary days of coffee at dawn by an alpine lake, fried potatoes and onions on an open fire, and no access to anything or anyone outside a chilled mountain bowl.
On Day 4 I decided to give the duct tape another go and take a stab at the long way round over a 3150m pass back to the alplager, which was somethin'. And my next entry.

You have shoes that are alright and then you have shoes that are "cool." The Nike Air Max Skyline falls into the latter category. It is one amazing shoe and people all over can agree that it is very
Style -The first thing that you notice about this sneaker is the fact that it's extremely fashionable and stylish. The Nike Air Max Skyline is available in a wide range of colors and they are mixed and matched to produce a very funky shoe. The Air Max bubble that can be found in the rear of the shoe, gives it an edge that people love. The overall look of the shoe is pretty good and the designers did an excellent job in this department.
Comfort - well aside from having a very stylish sneaker, the Nike Skyline is also comfortable. Because it is a casual shoe, it was designed for everyday wear. You can wear the sneaker just about everywhere and you do not have to worry about your feet hurting you. The Skyline is able to accomplish this with the Air Max cushioning system as well as the PU midsole that allows the shoe to be comfortable. You cannot go wrong in regards to comfort when it comes to this sneaker.
Price - Another great selling point of these shoes that makes them so cool is the fact that they are reasonably priced. For shoes that look so good, you can often get them at low prices. This can work with even better if you were able to get the shoes on special or discounts.
All in all the Nike Air Max Skyline SI is a pretty cool shoe. You have footwear that is extremely stylish, provides comfort and can also be had at a good price. You cannot go wrong with a sneaker like this. I know I didn't and I am extremely happy with my purchase.

Novelist turned film-maker Philippe Claudel is covering all bases with Avant l'Hiver (Before the Winter Chill). His third outing as a director is part psychological thriller, part classic love triangle and part domestic drama with Daniel Auteuil once again showing masterly control over a storyline that crawls along at a snail's pace leaving plenty of room for angst ridden introspection and moody silences.
Auteuil is Paul, a 60-something successful neurosurgeon who is married to Lucie (Kristen Scott-Thomas) and BFF with Gerard (Richard Berry). The couple have been married for thirty years and if the union lacks a certain spark, they are happy enough entertaining friends, spending evenings at the opera and weekends with the family. The routine is shattered when Paul starts to receive bouquets of red roses from a mysterious admirer. Suspicion falls on a beautiful, young Moroccan woman Lou (Leila Bekhti), a waitress in a cafe who claims she is one of his former patients. Initially unconcerned by the unwanted attention, Paul gradually becomes intrigued by Lou who reels him in with tales of her difficult childhood and her struggles as an art student in France. Before long, he has left the comfortable family home to spend more time with Lou. Seeing a rift in the marriage, Gerard confesses his love for Lucie who is reeling from the shock of discovering her husband's interest in another woman and the disintegration of her safe, middle class existence. But worse is to come as it becomes apparent Lou is not the woman she says she is.
Putting the French middle class under the microscope is a path well-trodden by, among others, veteran director Claude Sautet – the man behind such classics as Nelly and Monsieur Arnaud and the not dissimilarly titled Un Coeur en Hiver (A Heart in Winter) also starring Daniel Auteuil. But where Sautet cast a non-too critical eye over the lives and loves of the bourgeoisie, Claudel depicts a group of people irritatingly smug in their selfish acceptance of the privilege that comes with their money and status. As Gerard bitterly points out to Paul, his only real problem is that life has been too good to him. He has a beautiful wife, a beautiful home and a career where he is admired and respected – an enviable position for most people in the 'autumn' of their existence . And yet he questions whether his life could have been different/ improved. Lucie is a similarly cold, unsympathetic character. Despite a faultless performance by Scott-Thomas, it's impossible to warm to someone who complains her days are long and empty as if the blame lies with someone else. For Paul, Gerard and Lucie, their lives have been about choices and their constant navel gazing seems almost comically self-indulgent. It falls to Bekhti to inject some relief from the suffocating, tangled relationships between the three main protagonists. Unfortunately her character is not consistent enough to offer a fresh perspective on the unfolding drama and she fails to make a real impression. In French cinemas: 27/11/2013

The 25-year-old joined Scarlets in 2007, having previously played for Carmarthen Quins and Llanelli, and has made a total of 119 competitive appearances.
Turnbull has represented Wales at U18, U19 and U20 levels and participated in two IRB Under-19 World Championships.
The Haverfordwest-born flanker was named in the Wales senior squad for the first time for the 2011 Six Nations and made his debut as a replacement in the 24-6 win over Scotland at Murrayfield. He was also selected for the 2012 tour to Australia.
Director of Rugby Phil Davies said: "We are really pleased Josh has agreed to join the Blues, it's a big and important signing for us.
"We were looking for an experienced player and an out and out number six. With Andries Pretorius set to leave us and Michael Paterson having gone last year, it was an area we were focused on.
"The opportunity to get Josh was massive for us. I know him really well from my time at Scarlets, as I gave him his debut, and he is a player I've always followed and admired.
"It's exciting for us to bring in such a powerful player with that pedigree and quality. Josh adds balance and depth to our back row resources and his experience will be invaluable to the younger players who will learn so much from him."
Turnbull said: "When I spoke to Phil Davies I was excited about what he had to say about the future. I have been at Scarlets for seven years and feel now was the right time for a new challenge.
"Blues are looking to add depth at number six and that is where I want to play. I have played across the back row, but I want to focus on one position and move my career up another level."
Turnbull added: "I owe a huge thanks to everyone at Scarlets. It was actually Phil Davies who gave me my first professional contract, I will always be grateful for that. Since then I've worked with some great coaches at players and I will leave with many happy memories.
"I want to finish on a high with Scarlets now and climb the RaboDirect PRO12 before I make the summer switch to Blues.
"Ultimately I have ambitions to play for Wales again. I haven't done that since the autumn of 2012 and that is a huge target for me.
"I feel focusing on one position week in and week out will improve me. Hopefully I can move my game up and push my international claims once again."

The two-day holiday of Rosh Hashanah marks the anniversary of the world's creation and the beginning of the Jewish year. Jews consider Rosh Hashanah -- Hebrew for "head of the year" -- as the Day of Judgment, or the day on which God examines His creation and judges it for the coming year. As Rabbi Hadar Margolin writes at Aish.com, Rosh Hashanah is an excellent opportunity for personal reflection and spiritual growth.
Saying You're Sorry
In the weeks leading up to the holiday, take stock of your relationships and reach out to people you might have hurt with rude comments or insensitive behavior. Rosh Hashanah is meant to be a fresh start. Apologizing to people you've injured with words or actions helps you resolve interpersonal issues, put old business behind you and move into the new year with a clear conscience. Think about friends, relatives, coworkers and neighbors you may have insulted, neglected or otherwise hurt. Be in touch with them and say, "I'm sorry." Make up your mind to relate to people with greater sensitivity in the future.
Reflecting on the Message
Jews of all stripes -- from unaffiliated to Orthodox -- attend religious services on Rosh Hashanah. If you plan to spend time in synagogue or temple, do some homework before the holiday to make your time there meaningful. Familiarize yourself with the Rosh Hashanah prayer book, known as a "machzor." If you don't own a machzor, visit a Jewish bookstore or search online for one that features traditional Rosh Hashanah liturgy with an English translation. Read the introduction and thumb through the machzor to get a feel for how the prayers are structured. During services, glance through the explanatory notes and commentary that accompany the main text. Try to reflect on the main themes of the day, which include God's kingship and the hope that His judgment for the coming year will be favorable.
Shofar and Tashlich
The blowing of the shofar -- a hollowed-out ram's horn -- is an indispensable part of the holiday. Even if you won't be in synagogue for the entire service, try to get there for shofar blowing. In keeping with the theme of God's kingship, the shofar symbolizes the trumpet blasts associated with a secular king's coronation. The sound of the shofar is unique and intense; it's meant to rouse in you a sense of awe and a desire to change. Think of the shofar blasts as a spiritual wake-up call, or an opportunity to rethink and reset your priorities. During the afternoon of the first day of Rosh Hashanah, some Jews recite the "tashlich" prayer and symbolically cast off their shortcomings into a body of water. Like listening to the shofar, reciting the tashlich prayer inspires a desire for personal change.
Honoring the Day
Rosh Hashanah is a "yom tov," one of the major holidays that dot the Jewish calendar. It's a special occasion, so prepare by getting a haircut, taking a shower and putting on nice clothes. Using your machzor as a guide, light candles at night to usher in the holiday. It is customary to enjoy two meals -- one at night and one during the day -- on both days of the holiday. Begin each meal by reciting the kiddush blessing and the blessing on bread. Many people use round bread for the meals to symbolize continuity. Your machzor probably lists certain foods -- or "simanim" -- Jews typically eat at the evening meal. The simanim -- including apples in honey, carrots, dates, pomegranate seeds, black-eyed peas and fish -- are chosen because their Hebrew names connote or sound similar to things the Jewish people pray for, such as abundance, sweetness, and security from enemies.

Barack Obama Reveals His Steel
Not only has John McCain been myopic in his military strategy, as he lays out his case for commander in chief. He's been completely clueless about the other serious threats we face beyond Iraq. It's as if he's never thought about them. Central Asia takes second place to Iraq, while Senator McCain misidentifies the borders of Pakistan. Meanwhile, McCain displays the same arrogant recklessness as Bush when recently saying "we are all Georgians," when it's clear our priorities are anything but aligned and certainly not connected through quantifiable actions.
Barack Obama laid John McCain out, calling him on, not only his lapse of military judgment and strategic vision, but tying that to the first priorities of all presidents: the people's welfare.
America, we are better than these last eight years. We are a better country than this. (APPLAUSE)
This country is more decent than one where a woman in Ohio, on the brink of retirement, finds herself one illness away from disaster after a lifetime of hard work.
We're a better country than one where a man in Indiana has to pack up the equipment that he's worked on for 20 years and watch as it's shipped off to China, and then chokes up as he explains how he felt like a failure when he went home to tell his family the news.
We are more compassionate than a government that lets veterans sleep on our streets and families slide into poverty... (APPLAUSE) ... that sits... (APPLAUSE) ... that sits on its hands while a major American city drowns before our eyes.
The African American gentleman standing beside me said it best, when he didn't think I was listening. "Lord have mercy. After all these years..." ...then his voice trailed off.
America, our work will not be easy. The challenges we face require tough choices. And Democrats, as well as Republicans, will need to cast off the worn-out ideas and politics of the past, for part of what has been lost these past eight years can't just be measured by lost wages or bigger trade deficits. What has also been lost is our sense of common purpose, and that's what we have to restore.
We may not agree on abortion, but surely we can agree on reducing the number of unwanted pregnancies in this country. (APPLAUSE) The -- the reality of gun ownership may be different for hunters in rural Ohio than they are for those plagued by gang violence in Cleveland, but don't tell me we can't uphold the Second Amendment while keeping AK-47s out of the hands of criminals. (APPLAUSE)
I know there are differences on same-sex marriage, but surely we can agree that our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters deserve to visit the person they love in a hospital and to live lives free of discrimination.
Martin Luther King, Jr. has his heir.
So I've got news for you, John McCain: We all put our country first. - Barack Obama
Make no mistake about it. The Republicans are in rewrite.
Cue Brooks & Dunn.

Another site review on how to improve your sites traffic
I had a request to give some feedback on a 6 year old site on how to improve conversion, and traffic for the gift basket site Blissful Balance . Here in no particular order are some quick hit suggestions. Feel free to comment and ask some more questions.
- http://www.blissfulbalance.com/essential_oils.html
- Some suggestions for improving your SEO and site conversion
- Script font is hard to read, contrast is low, graphic is not SEO compliant
- There is No call to action above the fold
- If a gift, not as clear that you cater to the giver – include a free gift for the giver or way to reward the giver for their giving thoughts.
- No alt text to attract Google juice
- Image names not leveraged – xdfwe99 is not useful to Google as to what the image is about. Consider listing in Google Images
- More trust building across the site. Why should I trust my money with you where there are so many other sites out there to buy gifts from.
- Above the fold
- No header text to help Google understand
- Need video for demonstrating product. Video can get YouTube traction today, Google takes months.
- Audio to demonstrate CD as to why this is something I want to send to my giftee, this seems more unique then other parts of your baskets
- About us – it should tell a story of passion – why should I buy from you. Because you have passion in these products
- Tell me about you last 6 years – what have you done.
- Hosting on Yahoo can be a challenge for other sites on IP could be tripping you up.
- You have many Duplicate descriptions and boring titles on your pages throughout the site (site: blissfulbalance.com)
- Articles page is missing your call to read on the description
- You have links on spam farms
- What keyword phrases are you going after?
- No keywords in domain name
- What is your niche?
- You footer text should be unique on different pages.
- Allow larger text options
- What is your conversion rate?
- Site is slow on Contact Us page
- No physical address is listed here. You need to build TRUST, too many other options to go to the next one.
- No 800 number (still need local number for trust) – Kall8.com is a great resource for low cost, easy to work with for 800 numbers in about 5 minutes including an autobill credit card number.
- Have product info also on separate pages to allow the power of smaller pages. Tell more of a story with these sub-pages to allow for long tail search engine optimization by Google.
- Look at SEO (search engine optimizing) your Aromatherapy page.
- Tell me a story on your essential oils page. Consider making this a better resource for others to share by flushing out a greater list of resources, links to other sites and stories of the benefits of these oils helping others.
- Driving traffic to the site
- Create a few blogs to demonstrate your thought leadership and how you understand your customer. As the site reads now, you look like a salesman, not a person who understand the buyer of gift baskets. Explain to me how you care about your customers, and they will care more about you.–
- Post content at least weekly (partner if you need to – perhaps a trade of a basket for every 4 stories including shipping)
- Mix ideas (for how to use) and stories (of how the baskets change lives by allowing for balanced life)
- Post ideas on other site
- Create a few blogs to demonstrate your thought leadership and how you understand your customer. As the site reads now, you look like a salesman, not a person who understand the buyer of gift baskets. Explain to me how you care about your customers, and they will care more about you.–
Remember that the objective is not to trick Google, but understand that Google is trying to best understand what you can share about your products. Google is not human, so you first have to communicate to Google what your pages are about in order to most effectively communicate to it what you are selling.
Understand that there are many types of media to share with Google (and YouTube) and your perspective clients the value of our site.
Good luck, and let me know what your reactions are.
DRIVE – Dan Pink's book clarified my world understanding.
Here is an 11 Minute TED type talk with fun white-board explanations from worldwide thought leaders. The one that caught my fancy is from Dan Pink. Dan Pink has come up 3 times in the last day for me from different directions. The science and economic studies he references explain the conflicts I have been seeing in business and non-profit organizations for decades. I have a whole new paradigm to work from and share with others. What do you think? Please comment.
RSA Animate – Drive: The surprising truth about what motivates us
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mG-hhWL_ug – the 42 minute version of RSA presentation
So there is a lot more drive in us to meet the rest of Maslow's hierarchy of needs in us all (statistically speaking, we are all unique and regularly break the 'rules'). That need is very strong as we seem to want to work in community. When we ignore these needs, we ignore the fundamental drives that are present in our world.
So after watching this how will you change your way of operating?
Not only did his ideas get me thinking, but so did the different formats I heard his ideas from – YouTube, Podcasts, Blogs, personal reference. I still have not read his book from with these other sharing formats came from, but I feel I can incorporate the concepts today and tomorrow into my different projects. For millennium, many were not allowed to read the 'original' source material for religions, but they needed to be interpreted. Is today's world of more YouTube videos being posted per day being more then could be watched in a year creating a variation on the same theme?
A Question – what is better?
1) To watch 'TED' type (RSA, BookNotes, TED, Charlie Rose, etc) talks of thought leaders that are the distillation of their work after presenting it 100's of time.
2) Or to read the source work with all depth?
What is the best way to assimilate knowledge – read the whole book or the talk after 100's of presentations and feedback in the 'wild'? More and more I am feeling that the 'book' is not the final source to learn from, but the starting point for the author to really explore the ideas and concepts. When I watch Booknotes (on weekends on USA Cable TV channel C-SPAN) it becomes evident that there is great growth and advancement from when an author (usually after years of work) turned in their manuscript to an editor, until a BookNotes presentation (after a book tour, many lectures, arguments with editors and publishers and reviewers) allows an author to speak of the concepts without needing to refer to notes and 40 pages of support on why an idea is 'self evident' or not in the short attention span answers required today to share our ideas in our paced world.
Obviously there are lots of exceptions to any rule. And the standards of authorship in this world of self-publishing, need to make a dollar, focus group writing, and need to publish or perish are varied. But, does the wisdom of a book come out quicker in a 60 (or 20 or 10) minute talk with some slides or a whiteboard or commoncraft supplement or are we just feeding ourselves more information junk food, full of empty calories of half thought out ideas?
What is the role for RSAnimates, Podcasts, commoncraft, and other 'short form' ways of sharing concepts in abbreviated format?
Thinking where to host your web site?
1st Identify what you need from a hosting company. For the next 18 months. You can always switch providers if you build that into your plan (highly recommended). Web hosting is the equivalent of renting your home. You do not need to find the 'perfect' place for all your needs forever, and their job is to maintain the property.
If you are planning on looking at their templates (for simple sites) – as someone who understands, where the limitations of templates are, before you try to box yourself in. If you need big closets and the apartment is only 1100 sq ft, you are going to be disappointed.
Just like landlords that can only effectively meet the range of a renters and not the needs of everyone need cheap, secure, location, size…., hosting companies specialize in a range of hosting needs. Those outside that range will be frustrated.
There are a few other steps after identifying you needs and goals, but reviewing other hosting reviews is a solid step.
When is the best time to call a lead?
Bill asked the question in his blog http://blog.marketo.com/blog/2010/07/perfect-timing-%E2%80%93-when-to-call-a-prospect.html/comment-page-1#comment-5180
Here is my response to his discussion:
To me the answer was ASK. Before I scrolled down to your recommendations, that what was screaming in my mind. More and more the trying to parse someones specific needs based on all sorts of psycographic indicators is like trying to fish without radar. It may work in the aggregate, but if you are concerned about the individual day's catch, it is a poor strategy. An individual purchaser's will be different at different times. I was thinking how I purchase, and more and more, when I find a potential solution resource is varied from where I am in the sales cycle. I may find a new solution as I am checking the references of a final candidate, and having legal reviewing the contract, or I may find a resource as I am considering the category.
Besides, if you ask, it builds relationship and shows that you are more concerned about the clients needs rather then your own. And that will certainly help improve the sales cycle.
What are your thoughts?
How do I get ranked Higher?
I'm trying to get higher on the search engines when "grief" and "widow" is entered but that is not as easy as it sounds. All advice is appreciated.
Mary Francis
Sorry if this sounds harsh, but it is intended to be helpful, not mean.
I would suggest a variety of steps to improve your SERP (Search Engine Results Page):
- Register your domain name for at least 2 years. If you don't have confidence in your site for at least another $11 (2nd year cost at GoDaddy.com) , then Google will not think you are serious about your site, and therefore not treat you seriously.
- Get links from other sites to your site. Google knows of no other links to your page (I know because at google.com Advanced Search I entered: link:thesisterhoodofwidows.com at the bottom). To Google, that means, no one else has recommended you, so Google feels that since no one else thinks you are worth recommending, that you are not a very worthwhile site. Of course there is nothing wrong with promoting yourself with a blog (wordpress.com), social networking like Facebook and LinkedIn and others.
- Add ALT tags that focus on what the different images are about including Grief and Widow. "Mary Cover" is not real helpful to the site impaired, mobile user, or Google search engine. However, "Book Cover for Sisterhood of Widows, A how to book for new widows" is a lot more helpful to Google and readers in understanding what the image is about.
- Change "Widows understand Widows like no one else can" to a Heading rather then a 'STRONG'.
- Consider your wording. You have Widow 23 times on the page. Some search engines will see that as 'keyword stuffing' for the amount of text on the page.
- Remember that these are very broad words that will have quite a bit of competition. I would recommend on a strategy that is more focused initially. This will build more traffic and buzz. Then you can attempt a broader focus. "widow's grief" will be a lot easier. You will need to have the words next to each other to optimize for this and focus your work accordingly.
- Since you have already created a PDF of the 1st chapter,
share the PDF wide and far. But consider updating your PDF to include the domain name in the properties, on a separate front page to link to your website (And a last page to order the book online), and the footer having the domain name on every page. Some of the search engines can now 'read' pdf's and that will improve the links into your site. Be descriptive on the properties to make it easy for someone to understand what a great treasure it is when it gets forwarded without your website.
- Consider using some of the free or low cost tools for measuring your site and telling you what you need to do to improve it. See my post on Google Analytics for a free solution.
- Consider using the services of an search engine optimizer who will work with you personally short term and longer term to optimize your efforts either as a coach or a implementer.
- Put links to the stores where your book is being sold.
- Continue to update and expand the site. In the world of change (imagine 6 months ago not being able to go to most of the Florida 1350 miles of coastline this summer because of an oil spill). If you are not updating your site, SE will consider you irrelevant our our changing world. Add new testimonials, press releases, announcements of book signings, links to reviews, and your own on-going thoughts and learning on the subject. Sorry, the project is just beginning once the book is completed.
- Consider other domain names that link to your websites that are simple – perhaps just short summaries of each chapter. Do not host all the different websites at the same company. Google will interpret them as spam and penalize you rather then reward you.
- Consider working with a proofreader.
- Commit to adding a least one new page per month to your website, and improving your existing pages.
- Look to other sources to interview you as an author for podcasts and radio shows. These of course should all be linked to your website, as well as posted on your website.

Rowasa and Hair Loss
Hair loss is a rare side effect of Rowasa® (mesalamine). In previous clinical studies, up to 0.86 percent of people reported hair loss as a Rowasa side effect. Given how common hair loss is in the general public, however, it is difficult to tell whether hair loss is actually caused by Rowasa or other factors.
If you are taking Rowasa and hair loss becomes a problem, talk with your healthcare provider. Depending on how severe the hair loss is, there are things that he or she may be able to do. It is possible that if hair loss is bothersome to you, your healthcare provider may recommend adjusting the Rowasa dosage or trying a different ulcerative colitis medication.

We are a bit late with this post. You must forgive us but we have been too busy scoffing our wonderful batch of potatoes so haven't got round to telling you all about them. Now, it's a big claim, as here at Vialii we are partial to a potato, in whatever shape or form. Fry them or bake them, boiled or roasted, add them to soups or salads, you cook it, we'll eat it. But this year's Maris Peer potato harvest is probably our favourite yet...
Things weren't looking promising in our veg patch earlier this year. Like many, our potatoes were hit by blight. We quickly took action to save what we could. We cut down all the foliage and burnt it then left the potatoes in the ground until we were ready to dig deep to see what beheld us.
After last year's wire worm disaster we weren't too hopeful.
However, we were rewarded with the tastiest potato we have ever come across and a reasonable amount for the tiny space we planted. A waxy texture, they are perfect for boiling. To be honest, they taste soooo good boiled we haven't even tried them any other way. They boil perfectly in 20mins and hold their shape really well. We will definitely be planting the same again next year and hope they taste as good.
Right, all this talk of potatoes is making us hungry - mince and tatties anyone?

The sun dress is my absolute fav!
The next is a company I have just come across. Izzy Lane is one of the leading ethical brands in the UK. The 600 sheep they use to produce their wool are rare breed sheep that would have either been killed for being male, missing a pregnancy, being lame being too small or having imperfections such as a black spot on a white fleece. They will live their entire natural lives in a sanctuary in North Yorkshire and their wool is used for their fashion line..yay! Happy sheep! :)
such a pretty collection! xoxo

The popularity of online marketing has grown in leaps and bounds. One of the most effective measures responsible for producing optimum results, online marketing has been integrated in the business agendas of small and medium businesses alike. Small business online marketing incorporates an array of techniques and strategies which aim at enhancing the brand visibility of the business in the online periphery. The most integral part of small business online marketing that has immensely benefited the small scale enterprises is the Search engine Optimization service.
Search Engine Optimization or SEO is a highly specialized process which involves specific set of techniques through which a website is made search engine friendly. With the aid of search engine optimization, a website not only makes your site highly visible but also help it rank higher in organic search result. Google search engine ranking is dependant on a variety of methods and few of them are discussed below.
Right Keyword Phrases Right keyword phrases is very necessary in optimizing a website. Google employs several tracking and crawling technologies for studying and analyzing key phrases and keywords and while listing results, Google robot processes the index of all the words that are there in the page along with the informations that are available in title tags, ALT tags. Thus, it is recommended that you stick to relevant keywords and key phrases on the web page. Google have the tendency to fetch the pages that have unique content, rightly stuffed with proper keywords. New informations and keywords are studied by Google and are tracked and in this way, a webpage is ranked against other sites. Thus, for better Google search engine ranking, analyzing the key phrases is necessary and inserting those strategically in to the content is also a challenge.
Keyword Density The other thing that Google searchs in a webpage is keyword or key phrase density. It is recommended that you should always list only the keywords and insert those into the content that are relevant to your website. You must not spam the web page with excessive keywords. Google generally fetches the Meta description or the first paragraph of your website. So make sure that you have strong opening paragraph, with right keyword density. Unique content with proper keyword density is sure to give your website a boost in Google search engine ranking.
Naming the page The title of the page is what is seen at the top of the browser window when you open a page. Titles are also what you see by default when you bookmark a particular webpage. Title tag is an important part in gaining higher ranks in organic search. You should make sure that the key phrases or the keyword is included in the title tag. Google give search results as link using a webpage's title. Titles of the pages are made with the tags. Adding extra titles in a page is a strict no-no as it could upset your Google search engine ranking. There should only be a single title per page.
Hyper Links After searching through the list of pages in its index, Google produces the relevant results against a search entered. This relevance is dependant on various factors and PageRank is one of them. PageRank means measuring the importance of a webpage based on the incoming links from other websites. Each hyper link to a page on your website from other sites will add to your websites PageRank. Thus, it is important to exchange links with relevant websites.
These are some of the key tips that you primarily need to follow to enhance your Google search engine ranking. Google algorithms cannot be exactly determined; hence there are no ways which can guarantee you number one rank, but these can surely help you in boosting your webpage rank.
If you own a small business online marketing can give your business endeavors tremendous facelift. There are many a social media agencies which render SEO services to different business houses. However, prior choosing one, you need to carry out thorough scrutiny to find out the legitimacy and proficiency of their services.
Jacques Neel is a SEO expert who offers various insights on ways to enhance Google search engine ranking. He also provides useful informations on small business online marketing and how it can benefit small scale business houses.

Monday? Monday.
-I'm need of more coffee right about now.
-Was back at my writing group yesterday for the first time in a month--it's amazing how easy it is to get into bad habits. While I may not have produced anything usable, it was good to back.
-Stacy McKitrick's Ghostly Liaison is out today--congratulations to Stacy and best of luck!
-The Super Bowl matchup is set--do you care?
-The temperature here actually crept above the freezing mark for the first time in two week--hurrah!
-Currently reading Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill. This was Hill's debut novel. Hill, of course, is Joseph Hillstrom King, son of Stephen King. It's interesting to see the stylistic similarities between son and father.
-Jane Friedman had some interesting posts from her time at Digital Book World last week. Check it out!
-I'm definitely in need of more coffee right now.
-I was going to go for some music here, but I can't find anything that quite fits the mood. How was your weekend? See you on Friday!

Oh, thank you so much for the shout! Much appreciated. :)ReplyDelete
RE: Superbowl. I will NOT be watching it this year. That should tell you enough, right?
RE: reading. I read that book on the recommendation of a friend. I found it interesting. If I had more time to read, I'd probably read more by him.
My weekend was good. Attended a chapter meeting Saturday. That always motivates me. This time it's motivated me to really get back to my WIP. Sadly, it has to wait. Not only for my editing project, but because I got 9 books in the mail today that I have to judge by March 1. Well, at least I'll get ahead in my reading goal for a bit! Haha!
Happy Monday, Jeff! I'll definitely be watching the Super Bowl. I root for Tom Brady and The Patriots every year :) Mmmm...coffee.ReplyDelete
Must be fun for King to see his son carrying on in daddy's footsteps. Superbowl? That wasn't yesterday? lolReplyDelete
-Stacy--at least the Ravens didn't make it, right? Nine books? Well, at least you're a fast reader! I hope they're good.ReplyDelete
-Suzie-I have no dog in this fight, but I'll pull for the Pats, too. And, no surprise, I'm having coffee now!
-Donna--no doubt, there are those who will say "The X vs. Y game was the REAL Super Bowl, because either of them would clean Z's clock." Yeah, I imagine Dad is kind of proud of his son there.
The only reason I care about the Super Bowel is that my brother and sister live in Phoenix. :) I'd be very interested to see if Stephen King's son's writing appeals to me.ReplyDelete
Jenny--It's a pretty good story, and written well. There's a 'King' feel to it, but not to the point where I feel like I'm reading a knock-off or rip-off. It's good enough that I would definitely read his other work. Thanks for stopping in!ReplyDelete

Cherchez La Femme the musical!!
You can buy tickets online at the following link:
Cherchez La Femme previews from May 20th until May 22nd then our official GRAND OPENING is on Monday 23rd at La Mama's Ellen Stewart Theatre on East 4th Street, New York City.
So don't delay, buy tickets today!
"Cherchez La Femme," a new musical written by August Darnell and Vivien Goldman featuring the music of Grammy-nominated songwriters Stony Browder Jr. and August Darnell.
Synopsis: Set in Manhattan and Haiti, the play explores heavy themes and lightweight dreams.
It's reckless, it's rhythmic, it's romantic.
is a musical extravaganza that tells the story of one man's loss and another man's gain and the powerful women who make it all possible. It explores dark themes (abandonment, sibling rivalry, unrequited love) and light themes (sexual healing, the pursuit of happiness, the smell of success) but never without inviting you to shake your head and tap your toes to the infectious neo-urban-jungle grooves. The play is set in New York City and the Caribbean in the 1980's.
It's reckless. It's rhythmic. It's romantic.
The staged readings were very successful. They led directly to yet another re-write and an invitation to entertain the masses at the Ellen Stewart Theatre! Pow! A dream deferred becomes a dream deferred no longer.

As you will know if you have been following the story recently, the disappearance of 08(97) from his nest on 11th May had serious consequences for his mate, 5N(04), and the clutch of three eggs that they were incubating at Site N – a nest on private land close to Rutland Water.
Male Ospreys provide fish for their mate and also undertake about a quarter of the incubation, allowing their mate to feed and, importantly, to rest. Our first concern when 08 went missing was that 5N hadn't fed during her mate's absence. She had resolutely sat on the eggs, but there was only so long she could go without fish and so if we didn't provide food for her, she would eventually go fishing for herself; leaving the eggs at the mercy of crows and other potential predators. To prevent her doing this, we erected a feeding tray near the nest and provided fish kindly donated by local anglers. 5N took our fish almost straight away-proving just how hungry she was. We continued to feed 5N in this way for the next few days.
Our fish meant that she wasn't hungry, but the absence of 08 meant that she was having to incubate for much longer periods than usual – and being alone at the nest must have made her uneasy. With this in mind we contacted the licencing department at Natural England and applied for a licence to move the eggs or chicks should 5N abandon them.
On 20th May 5N left the nest at 7am and flew to the reservoir to bathe – leaving the eggs unattended for more than half an hour; the first indication that she was less settled. Sure enough, she was on and off the eggs all morning, and then stopped incubating in the afternoon.
It was evident that she had now given up on incubation and so, in an effort to save the chicks, we removed the eggs and incubated them artificially. We weren't particularly hopeful that any of the eggs would hatch because they had been left uncovered for several prolonged periods. As the photo below shows though, one did. We moved it to the Site O nest where there were three chicks of exactly the same age -important if we were going to ensure that there was not any aggression in the nest. The photo was taken when the chicks were a few days old. Of the other two eggs in the Site N nest one sadly died during hatching (probably because it was very weak after insufficient incubation) and the third egg failed completely (possibly for the same reason).
Site O, like Site N, is a nest on private land close to Rutland Water. AA(06) raised three chicks with his Scottish mate there last year and we felt that he would be able to cope with the addition of an extra chick. There are several records of Ospreys raising four chicks, but in an effort to give the chick every chance of surviving we have been putting fish (again kindly donated by local anglers) close to the nest – as we did for 5N at Site N. Of course there is no guarantee that this chick will survive – particularly in view of the fact that incubation was not constant after 08's disappearance – but we feel we have done everything we can to help. We will keep you informed of progress at the nest.
Meanwhile, 5N spent several days wandering away from Site N, but she has now returned and has been joined at the nest by 09(98). You may recall that 09 is unpaired and caused trouble at the Site B nest earlier in the summer. He has been catching fish for 5N and they now seem very settled together – a very good sign for next year.
Thanks to the tremendous generosity of project volunteers and supporters, we have now raised enough money to satellite tag at least two male birds this summer. Bearing in mind that 09 has taken over 08's territory, we hope to fit a transmitter to him, along with perhaps AA(06), in the next couple of weeks. This will mean we can follow exactly where the birds are fishing, and if either bird disappears as 08 did, we will know where. Once again we'll be sure to keep you up to date with developments.
Finally I would like to thank everyone who has either sent messages of support or donations for the satellite tracking fund, in the past few weeks. Your support has been greatly appreciated during what has been a very worrying and taxing time for the project. It's great to know so many people are behind what we are trying to achieve; to get this magnificent bird back to where it belongs throughout southern Britain.

Happy Thursday how are you all? If you follow my Instagram (if you don't here is the link) you would have known that yesterday was just a really bad day, I had a major panic attack which left me feeling completely crap so I didn't feel like the typing up this post.
Today though I am feeling absolutely exhausted but I am definitely a lot better. I am going to you do a blog post on my panic attack and the reason why it happened at some point just because when I write things like this it definitely helps me feel better and helps me understand what really went on.
So for now we're just going to put that behind me and we're going to get onto a really fun post. Autumn is such an amazing time of year you wake up to you a foggy morning, the Chestnuts are falling off the tree, long walks Italian to a lot of fun when you are crunching the leaves. Autumn is a whole different level of beauty!
I have decided to create a bucket list of a few a little ideas that I would like to do throughout this incredible season.
My autumn bucket list
- Go apple picking
- Have a bonfire
- Visit a farm
- Go window shopping
- Go for long walks
- Bake something with cinnamon
- Watch a fireworks display
- Have a movie night
- Carve a pumpkin
- Have a picnic
- Make apple cider
- Stargaze
That is all on my autumn Bucket List I don't have a lot because I know that I am going to be super busy with work but I wanted to you up to use some cute things with my time of.
I would love to know what is on your autumn Bucket List if you have done a post I feel free to leave a link in the comments or just comment them below.
Thank you so much for Reading I hope you have enjoyed this post if you have be sure to let me know by leaving a like and a comment.
If you would like more Bucket List type posts do you let me know below and I'll see what I can create.
I'll be back tomorrow with a brand related post I hope to see you all there.
Have a wonderful evening, send you all my love,
A x

Risk and Reward – Sermon from 2/26/2017
I'll be honest with you; I've never been a big risk taker. Whether it is my own insecurities or a fear of looking foolish and failing, I don't know, but more often than not I play it safe, but looking back, many of the times I did take a risk – the rewards were huge. [...]Read More
Expectations – Terry Daugherty | Sermon from 2/19/2017
We all have expectations, even the those we have not thoughtfully formulated or those of which we are not consciously aware. Some commonly held expectations include a life of health, wealth, and happiness. But as we know, not all expectations in life are fulfilled. Join us examine the ways in which expectations shape the way in which we live our lives.Read More
Happy Are Those Who Keep Gods Word – Sermon from 2/12/2017
According to God, the key to being happy isn't hard – it's in keeping God's word. Blessing, peace, joy and the fullness of life are found when we allow God's word to be at the center of our hearts and lives. While keeping God's word means more than reading the Bible, the good news is that it doesn't mean we have to obey it completely – because that is just not possible. Join us as we explore the beginning of the longest chapter in the Bible, Psalm 119, and what it means to "keep" God's word and be happy.Read More
Salt and Light – You Are the Light of the World | Sermon from 2/5/2017
Fear. Animosity. Division. Derision. Our world is a dark place that needs light and you are the light of the world. Jesus calls his followers to be a beacon of hope and inspiration whose words, attitudes and actions bring life to those around us. While others add to the darkness, can we bring light? While others increase the decay of our society, can we work to be the salt that preserves? Now more than ever, the world needs the people of God to be salt and light. See how to embody these timely words of Jesus.Read More

I'm currently in the middle of Poland, on the Vistula river. Somewhere between Warsaw and Gdansk. I'm part of the film and photography crew following the Belgian explorer Louis-Philippe Loncke as he kayaks the entire Vistula river -- nearly 1000 km -- after having climbed the Tatras Mountains first.
I got involved in Poland Trek to challenge myself from a physical and photographic point of view. I met Louis-Philippe Loncke last year while photographing him for a UK newspaper. I was captivated by his raw enthusiasm and determination. When he told me about Poland Trek, I jumped in with both feet.
Poland isn't, in my mind, a country associated with stunning beauty and points of magnificent nature -- yet the places we're passing, the scenery and landscapes are breathtaking. The Vistula is one of the last wild waterways in Europe. The most amazing thing is the sheer unspoilt beauty of the river. I could be in the Meditteranean or most stunning parts of the Rhine or Danube. Yet on the Vistula you hardly see anyone, local or tourist enjoying the wildlife and scenery which is a shame.
The film and back up crew are on a Vistula Cruises boat, which is a great way to discover the river. We follow Louis-Philippe, photographing and filming him meeting Polish locals along the way. We've been greeted by major domos of towns on the river bank and assisted by the waterway services. Everyone has been unbelievably open and encouraging to Louis-Philippe on his journey.
I've been lucky to meet and work with some great photographers and filmmakers on the journey. Tomasz Grzywaczewski, an explorer and reporter who accompanied Louis-Philippe in the Tatras Mountains, helped organise the whole trek. Bartlomiej Ryzy and Michal Barylski are great Polish photographers and filmmakers joining the crew for a few days.
Kayaking is not about high adrenaline kicks but about sheer determination to continue day after day, paddling for around 12 hours a day.
I'm grateful that I've had the chance to really discover this country through my lens and, through the people I meet, it's beauty and openness have surprised and enchanted me.

My favorite schwag item from VMworld 2008
As I sat in my cozy office, drinking from a VMware mug, wearing a SearchVMware.com t-shirt under my dress shirt, saving drafts of a SharePoint training presentation to a 1GB USB stick emblazoned with eG's logo and watching Jan and Hannah go through their big bag-o-stuff from the conference, I mulled over something … what was the one thing, above all of the other schwag, that I wound up using most? The answer was the lowest-tech item there: Sun's little black book.
Yup, just a small black notepad. I've already filled up ten pages of notes in just around two weeks, and I now carry it with me to all my meetings. I look less rude taking notes on paper than entering them into my Blackberry (the message most people get when they see that: "Is this person note-taking or is he texting?" You tell me!). It fits in whatever bag I carry, whether it's a notebook case, organizer or nothing at all. It's better than a USB drive due to the simplicity of "open and write" versus "boot and type."
So, the Completely Unofficial Best of VMworld Schwag Award (TM, patent-pending, Copyright 2008, all rights reserved) goes to Sun Microsystems for providing such an elegant and simple tool.

In reading Ken Miller's 'Finding Darwin's God' currently some thoughts have occurred to me.
This is my 22nd book on evolution, origins and natural worldview and it continues to be inspirational and exciting each time I turn the first page. I became agnostic about 25 years ago because I am an avid outdoorsman and I found that I was interested in learning about nature more than supernature. I think mainly because it was real, and I could see it, touch it, hear it, and understand it.
To learn about the origins of life on this planet is the most fascinating journey I have ever been on. Everytime I read a passage by Dawkins, or Mayr, or Gould, or Shermer, or Shubin, or Diamond, or now Miller….I get chills. Just thinking about we homo being genetically related to bacteria… is a stunning revelation.
It just all falls into place and makes complete sense to me.
And I do not understand where any nihilism would ever come from. Purpose. That word that hangs up every creationist that cannot find the curiosity, interest and fascination with a purely natural world. I just do not get those people. How much more purpose can anyone neeed than to strive for a lifetime trying to comphrehend our natural world and what happened a few billion years ago, and continues to happen today?
I can think of little else that is so pleasurable to contemplate.
Spirits, angels, souls, miracles, prayers, ghosts, and heaven will just have to be for someone else, for it is far more dull to ponder the what if's of the unimaginable than to ponder what actually did happen and how.
Thank you Dr. Miller for your contribution of 'Finding Darwin's God' for it is outstanding.
And I cannot wait for the next exploration to begin when this one is done.
So much to learn, so little time.
Spirits, angels, souls, miracles, prayers, ghosts, and heaven will just have to be for someone else, for it is far more dull to ponder the what if's of the unimaginable than to ponder what actually did happen and how.
...So much to learn, so little time.
This is well stated and meaningful. I too have always been a lover of nature. I have a very distinct memory as a very young child (4 or 5?) of sitting in my front yard on a warm spring day watching ants in an ant hill scurrying around for food. I was completely captivated and in awe of these tiny, industrious creatures. At the same time I would look from time to time up into the sky and watch white, puffy clouds float overhead. I vacillated between ants and clouds for what must have been several hours, breathing in some kind of deeply fundamental knowledge of connection to all of it. This innocent moment was a pivotal experience for me. I never quite looked at nature again in the same way. And I continue to find great solace and wonderment in every bit of it. From destructive tornados to earthworms crawling in my garden, nature is an aesthetic, intellectual, sensual and sometimes frightening part of my life.
Calls to mind a line in the film, American Beauty: "Every where every thing is beauty."—even the seemingly ugly things.
Ever play God of the Ants?
*It takes app. six hours for ants to re-build their anthill to its original hill size.

Adoration and reverence for the world's first Jesuit Pope from the Jesuit community at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts.
Dozens of students and faculty gathered together Thursday to watch Pope Francis deliver a message to Congress many here felt our politicians and the country needed to hear.
Holy Cross junior Brooke Tranten said, "I really liked how Francis framed the importance of the family in American society, of the natural family, of what the family really is and how it's under attack."
The latest news from around the state
Assistant Professor of Religious Studies Peter Fritz said, "You could see the division in Congress, he spoke against the polarization that often haunts our political scene, or defines our political scene, but I think he did a good job being non-confrontational."
Many felt it was important to gather together to hear the Pope's speech to be able to continue the exchange of ideas in their classrooms and in their lives.
Holy Cross freshman Maya Collins said, " It really ties into my course that we're doing because it's about exploring differences in disability and poverty and so being able to listen to it with all my classmates to tie it into our class was really cool."
Assistant Chaplain Father Michael Rogers said, "I think students do feel a connection to this pope not least of which because a lot of them have had Jesuits in class."
And the speech held special meaning for the group of students and faculty who will be traveling from here this weekend to Philadelphia to attend the Pope's mass at the World Meeting of Families.
Holy Cross senior Lillian Daley said, "This makes me even more happy that I get to go to Philadelphia, his message was so uplifting, he really inspired us to work on issues that are a big challenge for us."
Assistant Chaplain Karla Alvarado said, "Getting to sit here and experience the address with the community here at the college was really powerful and I can only imagine what that's going to mean for the millions of people we're going to be with when we arrive in Philly."

A part of me was sure that I was simply going crazy.
I was sitting deep in the bowels of the Leacock building, at the front of the cavernous Room 132, one of (if not the) largest lecture theatre on campus.
"I'm sure," said one half of my brain, "that I am indoors right now."
"Nay, we must be outdoors" said the other half, "for I can clearly hear that it's raining right here around me."
And it was true. I was sure I could hear it raining in the room. Best not to dwell upon it, I thought. Far better to pay attention to the class. The prof was throwing out a few depressingly canonical moral dilemmas for us. Roughly:
Five people are tied to train tracks with no hope of escape. A train is barrelling down on them, meaning they will most assuredly die. However, you have the power to flip a switch and divert the train onto a different track, where only one person is tied. Do you sacrifice the one to save five? What if you can't divert the train, but rather must throw something heavy in front of the train to stop it? Unfortunately, the only heavy thing you have around is a sumo wrestler. Should you throw him in front of the train to save the five?
My only response was, "What would Jack Bauer do?" The answer, of course, depends on who knows where the bomb is.
Regardless, it was still raining. With the lecture material largely trivial at this stage in the game, I focused everything on the source of that pitter patter of rain. It came to me rather quickly then.
More to the point, keyboards.
Dozens upon dozens of keyboards.
Each little keystroke on those little laptop keys would otherwise be unnoticeable in such a large room, just a proverbial pin dropping. But dozens of people dropping hundreds of pins a minute becomes a quiet cacophony at the edge of perception. It's there just below the whispering and lecturing, drilling away at my consciousness. Pitter patter, pitter patter.
I don't know whether to blame "kids today" for their fancy technology or "artsie fartsies" for their need to express notes in actual sentences rather than simple equations, but if I start to go mad in a few weeks time, showing signs of schizophrenia, and freaking out at the sound of someone typing, it's this class that did it.

I figure this one will probably be a lot of work and I don't know what other discussions already exists but maybe I can trigger some brainstorming.
My (limited) understanding is that we can't use multiple devices with a single id (key) because the log could get out of sync between devices. Eg: if I make a post on my phone, then another post on my laptop but the two don't sync between then I've got a divergent log. (Ignore the fact that there's no mobile support)
My first (naiive) solution is to give each user an ID on her first device, and each other device gets a child ID. Now each device owns it's own log. The user needs to just assert once in the device log that this ID also represents her. This assertion also being signed by the root ID; sort of like an https certificate. Maybe we can even do this using the existing certificate standards.
Other ideas?

ComputerWorld has a must-read article on the pros and cons of solid-state drives that everyone interested in storage should check out. It not only gives a lot of background on what is going on with these drives right now, but it delivers a few verdicts on when it will make sense for companies to make the move to solid-state.
From the article:
Other analysts agree, and even disk drive makers, including Fujitsu Ltd., do not see themselves producing SSD for at least another two years. That's how long it will take before the cost-vs.-benefit ratio makes sense for SSD to be a viable alternative to hard disk drives in laptops and PCs.
Some of the best things to pull from the article are the basics you should know before making a decision on an SSD. These include the differences between SLC and MLC drives, why SSDs are better at random reading than hard drives, and so on. Many geeks might not need this lesson, but it's still worth the read anyway.
Holding off on SSDs for another two years is a rather conservative standpoint, especially considering that lots of IT-focused companies are starting to offer them, but if you look at the price-per-gigabyte it makes sense. Additionally there are other technologies that have to catch up–just because the SSDs are available doesn't mean that the operating systems are ready or wear-leveling is as good as it needs to be.
While IT buyers may want to stay with conventional disks, SSDs are doing pretty well on netbooks and high-end notebooks so we should see them gain market share in different segments more rapidly than others.
