Further thoughts on workflow
Further to My mostly-mobile digital workflow a couple of weeks ago. It's had a little while to shake down, and I've come up with two real problems so far:
First, the exercise of replying to comments is tricky on mobile. Quite apart from the typing-on-my-phone issue is the problem that I can't see the comment I'm replying to as I reply to it. This leads to me saying to myself, "I'll answer that when I'm next at my laptop", and then forgetting. Apologies to anyone who's had belated or entirely absent replies lately. I think a semi-fix for this might simply to be to open the "reply" in a separate window from the comment I'm reading (in WordPress, I could have a reading copy open in Safari while replying via the WordPress app). It's a bit fiddly though. Other suggestions welcome.
(As an aside, this seems like a must-have feature for blogging platforms that have mobile apps. Why doesn't WordPress have this? Anyway, consider it noted as a desired feature for any future Dreamwidth mobile app development.)
Secondly, I am missing an RSS reader. I switched from Google Reader to NewsBlur last year around the time of the kerfuffle that I won't bother linking to, but I have one fundamental problem with NewsBlur on mobile: there's no star/favourite/etc option on the mobile client, and I use that (or used to use it) heavily for "interesting, come back and deal with it later" articles: often recipes or knitting patterns from my various food and craft blogs that I want to do something with later, but don't really want to go through the steps of bookmarking right now. That may sound incredibly lazy — how hard is it to bookmark something on the spot? — but opening a link to the article on its blog site, then clicking through to Pinboard, then zooming in and entering tags and all that, then saving, is a pretty heavy multi-step process for something non-urgent. I used to like just starring them all and then one night when I was in the mood for looking at recipes and knitting patterns, going through and dealing with them all as a batch.
The upshot of this, anyway, is that I'm not really using NewsBlur as much as I could be, and I wind up missing lots of posts by people I'd like to read. Or rather, I sometimes eventually see them, but usually after the comments have peaked and died, and so it's more of an archival reading exercise than a live one. (See, eg., Charlie Stross's meta post on comments, which — ironically yet predictably — I didn't see til it had about 250 comments, after someone I follow on Twitter linked it.
I would actually like to see those things more or less as they're posted. For those bloggers who automatically post on Twitter when they have a new post, I can do that. For those that don't… *sigh*. I'm actually pondering setting up an RSS reader via Twitter, since that's something I check nearly constantly. I could create an account for the purpose, and a set of RSS-to-Twitter ifttt recipes. Has anyone done something similar? The obvious pitfall I can see looming is that I'm not sure ifttt supports multiple Twitter accounts, so I might need a separate ifttt account as well. Ugh. Thoughts?
A final alternative: I've been using Flipboard a bit for random browsing, but could quite happily upgrade it to a more serious role in my workflow. It supports RSS but only via Google Reader. Don't suppose anyone knows of a way to get RSS on Flipboard without Google?

Well, who is Darth Malgus?
Fans (likely mistakenly) want Darth Plagueis - Sidious' master. He is a Muun - likely skinny - like San Hill. He was a Sith scientist (alchemist) and most likely not a warrior. Plagueis' own master may have trained Palpatine to fight. The novel, "The Tragedy of Darth Plagueis" by James Luceno comes out in December. Hopefully, it addresses the more recent Sith lineage. In any event, it is my theory, that Darth Plagueis "influenced the midi-chlorians to create life" (Anakin) in a slave he experimented on (Shmi - perhaps without her knowledge - maybe she even thought he was - or Plagueis actually was - a doctor?) In any case, to get powerful DNA with lots of midichlorians (see I like science over fantasy and real explainations for things) - maybe Plagueis used his apprentice's DNA and Palpatine is the "surrogate" father of Anakin after all?
Meanwhile, Doctor Plagueis might make a boring figure who could only get more interesting with his appearance in Luceno's EU. (James Luceno is the very best SW EU writer IMO - perhaps more intriguing than Tim Zhan - though their styles are quite different by comparison and Luceno is much "darker.")
But that doesn't answer who the heck Darth Malgus is? Plagueis' master? That would be interesting. Like I said, perhaps THAT character had to train a young Palpatine to fight, while Plagueis engineered the ultimate Sith (Anakin), and they both prepared Palpatine for politics - as an alternate way of conquering the Republic - perhaps not unlike Hitler "conquered" Germany.
Meanwhile, I DO NOT BELIEVE IN THE RULE OF TWO. The Sith would break their own rules (and Dooku has Ventress).
I believe there was always (during TPM) Sidious and Tyranus (Dooku) and just like Dooku went to Dathomir to get a replacement for Ventress in Savage Opress - Darth Maul was a misled Sith warrior who was taught to believe that he was the real apprentice (and did not know about Dooku in the shadows) and used (and tattoo'd so the public would freak out and never submit to him - thus he could not surplant Palpatine and take over even if he was a quicker fighter)...used Maul to handle the grunt work and get factions like the Trade Federation on board so they could raise battledroid armies while Dooku secretly handled the raising of the Clone Army ([10 years ago when Master Sypho Dias was killed]).
Don't believe everything you're told "Maul is the apprentice in TPM, etc." as a better story offers even it's own cloak of
But who is Darth Malgus (Malingus? - hard to read Hasbro's label from the picture).
Also fans wanted Jacen Solo as Darth Cadeus. The Solo twins need at least 2 more figures of each of them:
Jaina in tan "Bespin fatigues" training gear.
Jaina in X-wing Pilot flight suit
Jacen as Darth Caedus
Jacen in Jedi robes
Plus Anakin Solo, Ben Skywalker, and Cole Skywalker (Cade's father) are completely missing.

Today I was listening to a local talk show, the show focuses on issues that are of interest to conservatives in the Northwest. Some times the host is dead on, while at other times he can get out there, I think mainly to get a reaction or to cause one to think.
On today's show he said something that I thought to be a little disturbing. He said (paraphrasing) that he will not vote rather than to vote for any of the candidates currently in the race for our Presidency. So here is were I have the problem.
You see, one of the most cherished rights we have in America is that we can freely elect our Representatives and ultimately our President. Without coercion or threat, we can pick and choose who leads our country. We have the right of the Vote. And that vote is precious. Now some folks think that their vote does not count, and while mathematically that may be true, every vote counts, because every vote is a voice. A voice that says to the world "I choose".
To not vote is to silence that voice. Now I understand that he is saying that there is no one worth voting for, but still a choice must be made. To throw away your right to choose the leader is not the right thing to do. The minute you give up that right, you open the door for more rights to be taken. We all make choices that we do not like or choices for things that may not be our favorite, but we make the choice none the less. We are involved in the process, that is the obligation of a citizen.
Citizenship in our Nation requires us to live by the laws set forth by the people. It asks us to be a part of the process. We live in a Republic, which is a country that is represented by the people. In short, the people are the government. We get to make the decisions that effect us, sometimes indirectly through our elected representative, but we get to make the choice.
I am not happy with the choices we are being given with this next election either. I will keep my political views out of this, but needless to say as a conservative my choices have been limited this time. But I assure you that I will look at who will be best for the Country, and vote. I will have a voice to help decide the men and the measures. To not vote will not make a point, it will just take away the voice. To be a good citizen in America I must demonstrate my willingness to choose, like our fore fathers and founders that stood up and said.. Hear my voice! They shaped our nation and established the process that I am a part of today.
Remember that citizenship is ours to maintain. If we do not take our part seriously, we will loose the right to take part at all.
Happy Scouting!

About Jeff Masters

By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 2:22 PM GMT on September 23, 2009
A massive dust storm swept through eastern Australia today, turning the skies in Sydney a eerie shade of red-orange. The dust storm was reportedly the worst since the 1940s, and Sydney recorded its highest levels of particulate air pollution ever. The dust storm resulted from strong winds associated with a powerful low pressure system that swept through eastern Australia this morning. Winds today at the Sydney airport were sustained at 36 mph, gusting to 51 mph. Wind gusts as high as 64 mph were recorded in the Sydney area as the storm's strong cold front passed through. Particulate pollution levels are still in the hazardous range this evening in Sydney, but are expected to improve to the "good" range on Thursday as the winds die down and the dust storm dissipates.

Figure 2.. A strong cold front passing through eastern Australia this morning generated a sustained winds in excess of 20 mph over a large portion of the region.
Severe drought has affected large regions of Southeast Australia over the past three years (Figure 3). In isolated areas near Melbourne, the drought is the worst on record. The resulting loss of vegetation has created large regions of loose dust, which the strong winds from this week's storm was able to loft in the air and transport long distances.

Atlanta floods ease
Very heavy rains exceeding fifteen inches soaked the Atlanta, Georgia region early this week, triggering widespread major flooding that continues today. Rainfall eased yesterday, and all of the rivers in the Atlanta area have crested and are now falling. Record flood levels were observed on at least seven rivers and creeks in the Atlanta area yesterday, breaking records that had been set as long ago as 1919. Utoy Creek near Atlanta broke its previous flood record by nearly 11 feet on Tuesday. The floods have killed at least nine people and did $250 million in damage. Portlight.org is experimenting with a new disaster relief strategy for this flood--they have decided to adopt a single family to help, the Baxter family of Lithia Springs, Georgia. The Baxters lost their home, car, furniture, clothes, and everything else in their house, and need assistance to defray the short-term expenses of lodging, food, and clothing, so help out if you can.
Figure 4. Radar estimated rainfall for the Atlanta, Georgia region ending on September 22. More than 15 inches (white colors) had fallen in and around Atlanta.
There are no threat areas in the Atlantic to discuss today, and none of our reliable computer models are forecasting tropical storm development over the next seven days.

Even in the cold days of an Indiana February, it warms Alberto Oseguera's heart to know that major league pitchers and catchers soon will be reporting for spring training throughout Florida and Arizona. If the game plan for his career works out, he'll be working in the majors someday as an orthopedic consultant. For now, Alberto, a senior in health and kinesiology, is helping the Purdue Boilermaker baseball team tune up for its defense of the Big Ten championship. And the ball diamond is perfect training ground as he learns in one of the best sports medicine programs in the country.
- Mending the Big Ten champs
Finding a spot as an athletic trainer at Purdue can make for fierce competition itself. After spending countless hours in the evaluation, treatment and rehabilitation of various student-athletes, Alberto will spend his senior season working with the baseball team, which begins defense of its Big Ten championship season this spring.
"For the most part, I'm working with pitchers to make sure their range of motion is good," Alberto says. "The guys are great and they really make you feel like a part of the team. I'll go out there and shag balls in the outfield with them."
- Anatomy of an orthopedic surgeon
In spite of all the demands of athletic training, where he can spend up to 25 hours a week, Alberto has excelled in the biology and chemistry courses that have prepared him for medical school. He hopes to become an orthopedic surgeon, perhaps working with pitchers and players on a team at the major league level.
"The athletic training gives me an understanding of how different injuries occur," Alberto says. "It also provides me with a good anatomy background."
- Deep in the heart of Purdue
Although Texas remains home, Alberto says he's perhaps proudest of the close-knit Purdue community. "As soon as I arrived on campus, even as an out-of-state student, I never felt too far away from home."
Whether he's enjoying a chicken Caesar wrap with friends at the Oasis in the Union or taking a break from the athletic training to watch athletes on television, Alberto has become a true Boilermaker.
- Hoops for health
Alberto helped organize an athletic trainer's basketball league on Cardinal Court, the Boilermakers' new practice court inside Mackey Arena. In play described by Alberto as "competitive, but fun," the trainers showcase their basketball skills while getting some exercise. It's all in a day's work for Alberto, who feels like the best way to a healthy lifestyle is to surround oneself with others who embrace the same ideal.

- Autumn but a little dull....
Shows part of the area in Dunloren Park, Tunbridge Wells. It's a 360 degree panorama but not shot on a very long lens. Still reasonably interesting - however - yawn - the most exciting thing that happened was the tripod in the middle of the park (waiting to be moved on as I had no permit!) and the cup of tea in the cafe shown in this panorama.
However, there are exciting places to visit from Tunbridge Wells and T.Wells is great for shopping and what about visiting the lovely High Street and of course 'The Pantiles'? You could stay at self catering accommodation right near the centre - 5 mins station and High Street in Farmcombe Lane (free parking with our permit and wifi, etc).

TUPELO – Five days full of more than 50 films are on schedule for the 10th anniversary of the Tupelo Film Festival.
Documentaries, feature films, short movies, animated films and music videos from all over the world will grace the big screen in Tupelo next week, and plenty of filmmakers will be in attendance to meet and greet fans.
"There are a lot of diverse things going on," said Tupelo Film Commissioner and festival director Pat Rasberry. "There are great films and wonderful stories."
The festival kicks off May 15 at the Malco Theater in Tupelo with a screening of the "The Fallen Faithful," starring "Vegas" actor Sonny Marinelli, who is scheduled to make an appearance.
Producer P.J. Leonard will be there too, and Paul Thorn will perform, Rasberry said.
Festival selections will hit the screen at The Lyric at 12:30 p.m. May 16. The official kick-off party is in front of The Lyric at 6:30, featuring music by 2 Drink Minimum. The film "Pride and Joy," which includes Jackson chef Geno Lee, will be screened.
"He'll be there cooking his pig ear sandwiches," Rasberry said, alongside local vendors. Music videos will also be shown and audiences can vote for their favorite.
"Bring a lawn chair or blanket and prepare for a nice evening on the grounds," Rasberry said.
Documentaries and shorts will be shown at The Lyric at 12:30 p.m. on May 17 and continue through 7:30 p.m. Then, the party moves to Goodlett Manor for A Touch of Jazz, a screening party for "Bob Barry: Jazzography in Black and White."
Barry is a renowned jazz photographer and he'll be at the party. Fifteen of his photos – all of them framed, signed and numbered – will be up for auction.
"They are all black and white, all extremely gorgeous," Rasberry said.
Jazz musicians Brian "Breeze" Cayolle and Bob Sundra will perform.
Films will begin screening at 9 a.m. May 18 at The Lyric.
To celebrate both 10 years of the film fest and 40 years of Mississippi filmmaking, Dixon McDowell will present a discussion on screenwriter Horton Foote at 10 a.m. May 18 at the Lee County Courthouse. The event includes a screening of "Tomorrow," a 1960 Robert Duvall film that was made in Tupelo and based on a short story by William Faulkner. Foote wrote the screenplay for the film. The event is free.
Winners of the Mississippi High School Film Competition will be screened at noon May 18, and the awards ceremony is slated for 8 p.m. The best of show award, named for Mississippi film enthusiast Ron Tibbett, will be awarded, as will the Elvin Whitesides Director's Award.
The festival wraps on May 19, with a screening of the documentary "Muscle Shoals," about the city's music history, at 7 p.m. at the Malco in Tupelo. The movie will be screened here ahead of its theatrical release, which is the beauty of film festivals, Rasberry said.
"There are so many diverse films, and you're getting exposure to indie films," she said. "You never know which ones will hit the big screen."

This recipe is so easy and really, really delicious! I used half brown, half white sugar instead of all brown and about 2T of coconut oil instead of 1/3C canola. No cinnamon. Fantastic recipe! Sweet, but delicious. Everyone loves it in our house!
This recipe is so addictive! I've made it many times and change it up from time to time. Had some pistachios on hand so added them once (yum). Today I added flaked coconut. I always add more cinnamon because I like the flavor. I cook mine on parchment and clean up is a breeze.
This has become a staple in my home. I make it at least twice a month and my family never gets tired of it. Make it exactly according to recipe the first time and then adjust it to suit your taste (so many good ideas here). It's a bit too sweet for my taste so I increase the core ingredients. I use about 4.5 cups oats and 1.5 to 2 cups mixed nuts (almonds, pecans, walnuts, cashews, pine nuts--whatever I have on hand). Honey and vanilla are expensive so a couple notes on those. I find very basic honey works fine in this recipe. (I love the expensive unpasteurized kind for toast, but it doesn't add much to this recipe). I also find I get plenty of flavor with about 1.5 to 2 teaspoons of vanilla. Don't skip the vanilla though; it really makes the recipe.
Fabulous base recipe. I switched up as follows: changed to 1cup diced pecans, used coconut oil, used 1/6th tsp. Cinnamon; then changed out some maple syrup (real) for about 1/3rd of the Honey (if you have a metric measuring cup, 20mls of maple syrup and 40mls of Clover Honey). I changed the vanilla to 5 teaspoons from 4, and I recommend good quality vanilla, like Cook's. The only other change I made was I found it had better results cooked at 275°F rather than 300°F. I stirred it twice, at 10 minutes and then 20. I recommend removing it at between 28- 30 minutes. This makes a fabulous, rich, chewy AND crunchy ganola. It's good with milk, without milk, and on yogurt, etc. I make this 2x a week in the winter and less in the summer (due to our reluctance to use the oven in the summer when it's 115°F outside), but I recommend this HIGHLY. If you use dried fruit, obviously, add after the granola has cooked but before it completely cools/dries. Don't store until completely cooled. Stores nicely for up to two weeks, but it never lasts that long here!
This is my go to granola recipie base. I use whole almonds instead of sliced and add pumpkin seeds.
Excellent recipe. It was my first time making granola, but it won't be my last. Followed the advice of other reviewers and used coconut oil instead of vegetable, subbed coconut for almonds (due to allergies), upped salt to 3/4 tsp, and omitted the white sugar. Also added wheat germ and a few coarsely chopped pecans. I like the added salt because I am a huge fan of the salty-sweet flavor combo. The whole family loves it, and it wasn't as messy to make as I thought it would be. Also INCREDIBLY easy!
I love this recipe and so does my family. I use all organic ingredients and substitute the almonds(due to nut allergies in the family) with coconut. I also have used Agave syrup to sweeten instead of the white sugar. We add: dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, chocolate chips and goji berries... Yum and healthy Thanks for sharing this recipe.
Using coconut oil replacing the vegetable oil yields wonderful results. Butter could also be substituted but I prefer the coconut oil.
This is the best granola there is. It's delicious and has just the right amount of crunch. The generous bit of vanilla really makes it amazingI substitute coconut oil for the vegetable oil for it's health benefits and extra flavor. I use half the amount of brown sugar, reduce the white sugar to 1 1/2 T (it's still perfectly sweet) and add flaxseed meal to the oats. I sometimes substitute pecans for the almonds. Both are great. Yum.
I made the recipe exactly as written. This to me tastes better when eaten with 'milk' on it, especially whole milk, than it tastes eaten out of hand. I think it needs to have some raisins, so next time I make this I will add some raisins during the last 10 minutes of baking so that the raisins don't burn. It is more 'affordable' than the expensive overpriced stuff you can find in the store, no additives or preservatives either!

I really liked the Stoltz article. It reminded me of myself. I will roost birds every morning and evening about 3 weeks prior to season. I think knowing where the bird's roost is extremly important to turkey hunting. I will even roost birds after season. I just love hearing them gobble. The last time I got them to shock gobble at night was June 3rd! I too own the Mark Prudhomme owl call and I like it useing it for roosting them. I take the front end off to make it louder. I also like the Primos hoot flute, that is a really realistic owl flute. My all time favorite owl call is the Hunter Specalties Palmers Hoot tube! That is a great owl call. One day I would like to try the Hooks Hootin stick. I'm good with my voice to sound like an owl and some times they will only gobble to my voice. I also use my voice to sound like a coyote. I rarely use a crow call to roost them and if I do, its only in the morning. I thought it was interesting that Stoltz called to that tough gobbler to force him to roost where he wanted him to. I never heard of anyone doing that. If I'm ever in that situation, I'm going to give it a try!!
I love those Bad Bird articles. They are the first things I read when I get T&TH. I love T&TH, it is the only magazine I will read all of the articles. Keep up the good work!!!

A mix of decorative cast iron and brass, this light features an elaborate mounting bracket at the wall and a tiny cast brass hand at its other end. On top of the hand, we've added a 3-1/4in. shadeholder with a beautiful 8in. straw opalescent or 'vaseline' globe and a Hubbell pull-chain socket.
The fixture swivels freely, the arm holding the globe can adjust inward and outward easily, and a single turn of the bow-tie handle unlocks the fixture and allows it to be adjusted up or down. Fixture projects 48in. at full extension.
- Mounting hardware is not included
- Bulbs not included.

Well, today was quite hot outside. It was 71-75F until 2pm, then around 3-4
temperatures hit 81-82F. Certain body parts hated me all day while I subjected them
to punishment walking in that weather with khaki pants on. =)
Ok, seriously... I've successfully ported the tabbed Konqueror code by email@example.com to KDE 3.0 for the FreeBSD packages. In fact the patch I generated based on his commit applied flawlessly... that was really easy. Unfortunately, KDE won't be releasing a version with this new feature until 3.1 (which is about 3 months away, correct me if I'm mistaken ;).. and that was my justification for doing this. It's easy, it's a great feature, so why not? :)
Since I've already let 2 weeks pass... I've decided to commit the Qt/KDE 3 ports to the FreeBSD tree tomorrow night around 8:35pm, after my last exam before finals. Then FreeBSD will see its Qt/KDE v1 ports and everything related to them disappear. I for one won't be missing them, especially given the Qt/KDE 3 goodies. :-)
I received a letter in the mail from Verisign. "Gee, I wonder what this is about", I said. "They do domains and SSL certs, but I have neither business with them." So I opened the letter and discovered that my domain name, firepipe.net, is up for renewal. "Wow, how nice of them to spend 34c to tell me!" Next to the notice, I see "Reply by: May 15, 2002" and below that I see "Renewal Rate: $29 annually per domain name". WTF?? First of all, my registrar is NOT Verisign! Second of all, May 15 is 4 full months before my domain actually expires! Third, there are more domain name providers who can lease my domain at less than half this price! *grumble* *crumple*crumple* *throw* *thud* Stupid marketing crap.
Joe Karthauser sent me mail telling me he'd gotten closer to fixing the DSB650TX problem. He'd found a place in if_aue.c where some of the information relating to the interface was passed even if it hadn't been filled in. This change went in with whitespace changes... oops. But apparently it's still not fixed yet. :-\
I'll probably call Sun tomorrow and demand that they ship my new IDPROM same-day. Grrr. ;*{

Interestingly enough, I got my Bastila and Ponda on the same day that JT saw them at Star Trader in Disneyland, though I got mine in the morning.
The Starspeeders scaled to 3.75" figs are available at DL now, incidentally. Even with the pass holder discount, I decided to wait for a review or two before making a decision on it. Also, Muppet SW figure 2 packs are out. Sam/Obi wan, Gonzo Vader (Dearth Nadir actually) and Camilla Stormie are the best of the 4 sets available.

In this case I do not think anyone was looking for job security or a make work project. Rather the current turkey management plan is very outdated;
land use has drastically changed since 1996 and the maps used to determine permit numbers are from 1996, these are the same maps used for deer management and we all know how that worked out.
There are 40% fewer turkey hunters than 10 years ago. This dramatic drop has been hidden from view because the permits sold are counted not the license sales.
The complication regarding the fall hunt is due to that hunter survey we've discussed; indicating hunters want a statewide 2 bird limit. The managers think they are following thru on hunter desires. Personally I think they are mistaken as the survey was far from scientific. I know some hunters who brag they filled out a dozen of those surveys.
After all the firings and reassignments of the deer managers, all the others are very paranoid and nervous about making recommendations. And who can blame them?
Scott Walter is head and shoulders above his predecessor in knowledge. There will likely be some changes recommended that will spark controversy in some quarters mainly due to the admission turkeys have done well in WI all on their own. Other than the release of turkeys into already good habitat the WDNR accomplishes little else on a day to day basis to increase the population. There is not much they can do as the turkey population has reached its full capacity and now we wait for nature to control the population within carrying capacity.
Human management of game populations has its limits.

Brewstation Summit Ultra 12 Cup Coffeemaker
Description & Highlights
Hamilton Beach Brewstation Summit Ultra 12 Cup Coffeemaker
The Hamilton Beach Brewstation Summit Ultra 12 Cup Coffeemaker (48465R) is a unique and versatile way to brew coffee in your home. Unlike similar coffeemakers that require you to brew the coffee into a carafe, or a single cup, this coffeemaker instead brews the coffee and keeps it inside of the coffeemaker. The coffee is stored in an insulated tank that is equipped with a gentle heater that will keep your coffee warm and fresh for hours. Coffee is dispensed by simply pressing a cup or mug up against a dispensing level and hot coffee pours right out. This process only requires one hand so its easy to pour a cup while talking on the phone, or running out the door with a briefcase in the other hand.
The coffeemaker also allows you to choose between bold, regular, iced coffee, or small batch mode to give you the perfect setting for multiple size and styles of brewing. The automatic shutoff ability can be set between 0 and 4 hours and a programmable clock/timer is incredibly useful for multiple kitchen tasks. This coffeemaker keeps your coffee fresher than the traditional coffeemaker design and the convenience of the carafe-free dispensing makes this coffeemaker a great alternative to the traditional design.
Versatile Brewing:Choose from bold, regular, iced coffee or small-batch options
Adjustable Auto-Shutoff:Set the coffeemaker to automatically shutoff between 0-4 hours
One-Hand Dispensing:No carafe, no pouring, and no spills
- Model: 48465RHamilton Beach Brewstation Summit Ultra 12 Cup Coffeemaker

Reports: Apple Designing, Testing New Smart Watch

The tech giant is already in talks with manufacturer Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. for the new device
It's common for people to carry more than one portable device these days. When we're not glued to our smartphones, we typically have a laptop or tablet nearby for heavier workloads or just the convenience of a bigger screen. But Apple is looking to add another must-have device to our growing collection.
Apple is currently testing designs for a smart watch, which would act like a
small-scale iPhone
. According to
The New York Times
The Wall Street Journal
, Apple could be using bendable glass (such as that made by Corning) to create a watch that curves with the human body.
The tech giant is already in talks with manufacturer Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. for the new device. Hon Hai has been working on new technologies for wearable devices, such as more efficient displays and chips at that size.
However, Apple has released no design or feature details yet. The device is still in early testing, but it is expected to be very different from current wearable devices. It could have a range of apps available on-the-go as well as features like GPS.
Many popular wearable devices today, such as Jawbone and Nike's FuelBand, are used to keep an eye on physical activity. These devices can be linked to a smartphone to help people keep track of their fitness goals.
Smart watches attempted to make an introduction long before now, but failed. For instance, Microsoft tried out a smart watch concept called SPOT (smart personal objects technology) in 2003, but it didn't go anywhere.
WIMM, a Silicon-Valley based tech company, introduced its
WIMM Wearable Platform
back in 2011. But again, the idea just didn't seem to take off.
Considering Apple's success in the mobile realm, it'd be no surprise that the Cupertino giant could lead the way to the next evolutionary step in mobile devices: smart technology right on your wrist.

Designer Picks: Bathroom Light Fixtures
From sleek to shabby-chic, this list should give you some inspiration for updating your bathroom light fixture.
A beautiful light fixture is truly the "jewelry" of a space. Today's bathrooms are ever more popular spaces to decorate, moving from a purely functional space to one of pride and even status. There is a vast array of beautiful light fixtures on the market that still must serve the important functional needs of a bathroom as well. Here are just some of my favorites:
Restoration Hardware is one of my go-to resources for beautiful bathroom lighting. Their catalogue showcases a wide array of design styles from classic to fantastical. The Sutton Grand Sconce is a perfect choice for an elegant, hotel inspired bathroom, where space is at a premium. At only 5" wide, this tube-like sconce will fit neatly where more traditional larger sconces will not and at 30" tall it will provide even lighting as well.
The Milan Double Sconce, also from Restoration Hardware is a simple, pretty fixture that looks nice when lit and un-lit. A great choice to place between a pair of mirrors over a double vanity when space may be at a premium, this fixture will provide even light for both mirrors. Likewise, this fixture will work well in pairs or in threes in an oversized space.
I love the Wilshire Single Sconce from Restoration Hardware for its classic elegant simplicity. This is a real "go-to" piece that comes in satin nickel, oil-rubbed bronze and polished chrome. It could be used to flank a vanity mirror, or to illuminate a large soaking tub space.
The Olympia Bath Strip by Kichler is a modern and more attractive version of the old-school makeup lights. The 4-light fixture is only 7" tall, which will fit perfectly above most vanity mirrors or medicine cabinets and provide soft white light Opal glass diffusers.
The Robern "M" Series Wall Mirror lights are sleekly modern fixtures that affix to the back of wall-mounted mirrors for a subtle look that packs a punch. The halogen fixture produces a bright white light.
For those who love a more "shabby chic" look, the Old World Designer Chic light available through Lamps Plus, is perfect. While fairly small at just 5-3/4" wide, the crystal drops and cream distressed finished are just the right mix of worn and sparkly that is so popular right now.
Seagull Lighting is known for their Energy Star rated light fixtures and they are doing a great job of mixing function with fashion. The Two-Light Glennellyn fluorescent tub light has a white acrylic diffuser to soften the light source and brushed nickel fittings and end caps that are very stylish. The fixture can be wall or ceiling mounted horizontally or vertically.
I saw the Decayed Silver and Glass Blossom Chandelier from Porta Romana at this year's Kips Bay Show House and I can say, it's a real showstopper. The naturalistic twisted vines in a soft silver and gold finish and topped with gorgeous crystals is like a piece of art.
Similar to the Porta Romana fixture above, the Crystal Bud Sphere Lantern from Shades of Light is a more budget friendly choice, while still providing a show-stopping appeal.
Historically, fanlights in bathrooms have been utilitarian, but not especially pretty. The Orleans fixture from Hunter is certainly both pretty to look at as well as functional and is UL approved for use in showers and over bathtubs. The white glass shade features an ornate cast Bronze finish detail with a removable finial for easy cleaning.

Using corticosteroids during pregnancy: Are topical, inhaled, or systemic agents associated with risk?
D. Oren, MSC, I. Nulman, MD, M. Makhija, MSC, S. Ito, MD, Gideon Koren, MD, FRCPC
August 2004
I am concerned about use of corticosteroids during pregnancy. Some of my women patients of reproductive age are using topical, inhaled, or oral preparations, and I am not sure what to advise.
Both topical and systemic corticosteroids are used for a variety of autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. Results of first-trimester studies were inconclusive and underpowered. Recent meta-analyses suggest a small but significant association between use of systemic corticosteroids during the first trimester and oral clefts. This is consistent with results of animal studies. No similar evidence exists for topical or inhaled corticosteroids, probably because of much lower systemic exposure.
Je m'inquiète à propos du recours aux corticostéroïdes pendant la grossesse. Certaines de mes patientes en âge de procréer utilisent des préparations topiques, inhalées ou par voie orale et je ne suis pas sûr des conseils à leur donner.
Les corticostéroïdes, sous forme tant topique que systémique, sont utilisés pour une variété de problèmes inflammatoires et immunitaires. Les résultats d'études pendant le premier trimestre de la grossesse ne se prêtaient pas à des conclusions convaincantes ou concluantes. De récentes méta-analyses font valoir une association faible mais significative entre l'utilisation des corticostéroïdes systémiques durant le premier trimestre et les fissures orales. Ceci corrobore les études chez l'animal. Aucune donnée probante n'existe pour les corticostéroïdes sous forme topique ou inhalée, probablement en raison de la plus faible exposition systémique.
Corticosteroids are used to treat a variety of conditions; discontinuing them during pregnancy sometime exacerbates these conditions. Corticosteroids are available alone or in combination with other drugs for systemic, inhaled, and topical use. Systemic corticosteroids are used for autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. Inhaled steroids are now first-line treatment for asthma. Topical corticosteroids are frequently used to treat allergic and inflammatory dermatologic diseases, such as atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. Existing data on the safety of corticosteroids during pregnancy, particularly during the first trimester, are often conflicting and difficult to interpret.
Systemic corticosteroids
Commonly used systemic corticosteroids include prednisone, cortisone, and the active metabolites of prednisone and dexamethasone. Corticosteroids cross human placenta1; fluorinated corticosteroids penetrate the placenta more rapidly.2 The increased incidence of low birth weight and stillbirths reported in fetuses exposed to corticosteroids can often be linked to the conditions for which the mothers were given the drugs.3
Several studies have suggested an association between oral clefts and use of systemic corticosteroids,4-6 but one case-control and several prospective cohort studies failed to show such an association.7-12 A meta-analysis conducted by the Motherisk program of 123 175 women who received oral corticosteroids during the first trimester showed a slightly increased risk of oral clefts. Pooled results of odds ratios (ORs) in case-control studies showed a threefold increase in oral clefts among offspring of women who received oral corticosteroids during pregnancy. When results of six cohort studies were pooled, no significant increase in oral clefts was seen. When the largest study (50 282 patients) was excluded because it did not distinguish between major and minor malformations, however, the OR increased to 3.03 (95% confidence interval 1.08 to 8.54) for major malformations in children whose mothers received corticosteroids during the first trimester of pregnancy.3
A recent prospective, controlled study followed 311 women who used various corticosteroids during the first trimester. Both corticosteroid-exposed women and controls had malformation rates within the expected baseline risk for the general population. The authors also recalculated a cumulative OR from seven controlled studies, including their own study, and found no significant increase in risk of major anomalies.13
Because most human studies of systemic corticosteroid use during pregnancy have looked at the drugs in combination with other medications, it is difficult to assess the risk of individual corticosteroids. While systemic corticosteroids do not seem to pose a major teratogenic risk for humans, there is a small but significantly increased risk of oral clefts with first-trimester exposure. These results are consistent with results of extensive studies in animals.14,15
Inhaled corticosteroids
Inhaled corticosteroids used to treat asthma or other respiratory symptoms include beclomethasone, budesonide, flunisolide, fluticasone, mometasone, and triamcinolone.16
It is estimated that up to 4% of all pregnancies are complicated by maternal asthma,17 making asthma one of the most common respiratory complications seen in pregnancy. Poor control of chronic asthma and exacerbation of acute asthma during pregnancy can result in adverse maternal and fetal outcomes, such as hypoxia, low birth weight, and intrauterine growth restriction.18-20 A randomized controlled study has shown that long-term use of low-dose budesonide decreases the risk of severe exacerbations and improves asthma control in patients with mild, persistent asthma of recent onset.19 Inhaled steroids have also been shown to reduce risk of hospitalization due to asthma.21,22
Epidemiologic data on inhaled corticosteroids have shown no increase in rates of congenital malformations. A retrospective study of women treated with triamcinolone, beclomethasone, and oral theophylline for asthma during pregnancy found no congenital abnormalities in any treatment groups.23 In addition, START (Inhaled Steroid Treatment As Regular Therapy), the first long-term, multicentre, prospective, double-blind study, reported that treating asthmatic pregnant women with 400 microgram of budesonide is safe.24
These results corroborate data from the Swedish Registry Study25 of about 3000 pregnancies, which showed a normal rate of malformations in newborns exposed to budesonide during the first trimester.
Inhaled corticosteroids are currently recommended as part of routine management of moderate-to-severe chronic asthma during pregnancy.26
Topical corticosteroids
Commonly used topical corticosteroids include hydrocortisone and betamethasone. The systemic effects of topical corticosteroids are generally limited because only about 3% of the medication in topical preparations is absorbed systemically following 8 hours of contact with normal skin.27 Absorption varies with different types and doses of preparations and the nature and extent of underlying skin conditions. When corticosteroids are used long term or on large areas of skin, they might have systemic effects.28-34
Epidemiologic fetal safety data on topical corticosteroids are sparse. Two population-based studies found that treatment with topical corticosteroids during pregnancy did not increase risk of congenital abnormalities in humans.35,36
The apparent increased risk of oral clefts associated with systemic corticosteroid use has to be balanced against potentially serious implications for mothers (and indirectly fetuses) if needed steroid therapy is discontinued or not initiated for underlying maternal conditions. Since oral clefts occur at about one per thousand births, this increased risk will have a minimal absolute effect on the overall malformation rate of 3%. Since palate formation is completed by 12 weeksâ gestation, no risk of oral clefts exists thereafter.
When exposure has already occurred, a level II ultrasound scan might be able to detect clefting. More studies are needed to determine which cleft phenotype is associated with corticosteroids and whether it is cleft lip (with or without palate) or cleft palate alone, or both.

Authorities identify the man who died after tugboat goes over Dresbach Dam
All three men were crew members from Wisconsin
DRESBACH, Minn. - Tyler Trussoni, 22, of Genoa died after a tugboat he was on went over the Lock and Dam No. 7 near Dresbach, Minnesota, Wednesday morning.
The Winona County Sheriff Dave Brand says divers found Trussoni's body on the second floor of the Megan McB tugboat around 3:15 p.m.
"One diver did go in and found the deceased 22-year old male in not the top floor, but the second floor down," said Winona County Sheriff Dave Brand.
Two other men, also from Wisconsin, suffered minor injuries. They were transported to Gundersen Health System in La Crosse.
High water and increased current speeds swept the boat through the roller gates on the dam, destabilizing the M/V Megan McB, causing it to take on water, according to a news release from Brennan Marine, Inc.
"It when through and I heard it did kind of a turn around, a 60-degree turn around, and plopped over on its side," said Brand.
Tri-State Ambulance got the emergency call around 6 a.m. Winona County Sheriff Chief Deputy Ron Ganrude said the two injured men were on the top of boat when it went over the lock and dam. Trussoni, was in the middle level of the tugboat when it went over the lock and dam. All of the men were wearing life jackets.20835074
Chief Deputy Ganrude says rescue crews lowered two crew members down from the dam to look inside the windows on the tugboat, which is tipped on its side. Crews also searched along the shoreline of the Mississippi River Wednesday morning. In the afternoon, specialized divers from the Brennan Marine, Inc. found Trussoni's body.
The tugboat is still in the water, as crews do not have a boat big enough to move it to get it out of the flow of the Mississippi River. Authorities say the tugboat was out on the water to help barges because of the high waters and strong current on the Mississippi River. The Megan McB was christened at the La Crosse Harbor on June 22, 2013.
About 16 boats on the water from about ten different agencies helped in the search. The La Crosse County Dive Unit was on scene, along with crews from La Crescent, Onalaska, Winona, Town of Campbell, Dakota, U.S. Fish and Wildlife, the DNR, Houston County, La Crosse Fire Department.
SLIDESHOW: Photos of the tugboat that went over Lock and Dam No. 7
Authorities closed the Mississippi River past Houston County up the Mississippi River to Winona. It will be closed until the investigation is "thoroughly done," which does not end once the tugboat is out of the water, Ganrude said.

In late May, a rented houseboat went over Lock & Dam #7 with 11 people on-board. All were pulled from the water safely.

Exhibition features diplomat's photos from rural China
Posted September 26, 2007; 06:34 p.m.
Drawing from more than 1,600 photographs taken in rural China between 1913 and 1917, the Seeley G. Mudd Manuscript Library is hosting an exhibition this semester based on the collection of the American diplomat John Van Antwerp MacMurray. The display, titled "Capturing China, 1913-1929: Photographs, Films and Letters of Diplomat John Van Antwerp MacMurray," will be on view from Friday, Oct. 5, through Friday, Jan. 18.
MacMurray (1881-1960), a 1902 Princeton graduate, was secretary to the American Legation in Peking from 1913 to 1917 and served as U.S. ambassador to China from 1925 to 1929.
The opening of the exhibition will be marked with a lecture by University of Pennsylvania historian Arthur Waldron titled "John Van Antwerp MacMurray and Chinese-American Relations, 1914-1935" at 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 20, in 104 Computer Science.
The revolutionary turmoil of the young Chinese republic sharply contrasts with MacMurray's photographs of timeless landscapes, sites and rural scenes taken between 1913 and 1917. Visitors also can view 16 mm films that MacMurray shot in 1928, which include a trip along the Yang Tze river in January and February, as well as various street scenes in Peking and Kalgan. Letters, diaries and other documents from MacMurray's papers provide a context for the photographs and films on display.
The exhibition also documents issues MacMurray addressed during his second stay in Peking while serving as ambassador. Topics include contacts with warlords, the outbreak of the 1927 civil war and disagreements with his superiors at the State Department.
His recommendations to enforce existing treaties rather than make concessions to the Chinese Nationalists alienated him from his superiors and ultimately led to his resignation in 1929.
Also included in the exhibition are photographs and correspondence documenting MacMurray's relationship with I.V. Gillis, the Naval attaché in Peking when MacMurray met him in 1913, whose collections of Chinese books and manuscripts would be the genesis of Princeton's Gest Oriental Library.
The exhibition concludes with a notable memorandum that MacMurray wrote in 1935 concerning the situation in the Far East. Suppressed at the time, but later applauded for its analysis and insight, it was published in 1992 with an introduction by Waldron.
After his resignation from the State Department, MacMurray became director of the Walter Hines Page School of International Relations at Johns Hopkins University. In 1933 he re-entered the foreign service as minister to Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, and then served as ambassador to Turkey from 1936 to 1942.
The John Van Antwerp MacMurray papers were given to Princeton in 1965 by his children. This spring, his surviving children, Lois Starkey and Frank G. MacMurray (a 1940 Princeton graduate), donated the photographs and films on which much of this exhibition is based.
Hours for the exhibition are 9 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. Monday through Friday and until 7:45 p.m. Wednesday.

Hey, ok now this is about java appplets, but this is some html problem I think...
Im looking for a way to put an applet in the background as I can with and image! Why? Well, to make it brief. I have this kewl particle system as an java applet which uses OpenGL (yes, its a "plugin" for java, so one can use OpenGL statments) Now, the idea here was to test having this applet in the background and my <FORM> on top as I can have with a picture.
I've asked around in IRC but no luck.
I have a .css file like this:
font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial;
background-image: url("./picture.jpg");
background-attachment: fixed;
And I was hoping I could change this to some java applet instead!
If this is not possible, how to do it then? Got some bright ideas?
Maybe with layers?
Java Applet in background?

There was a familiar name on the All-Big 12 men's basketball team announced earlier this week – Romero Osby, a former Mississippi State player from Meridian.
Osby, a 6-foot-8 senior, is the first Sooners player to make the All-Big 12 first team since Blake Griffin in 2009. He was the leading scorer
(15.7) and rebounder (6.9) for Oklahoma (20-10) this season.
He left Starkville in 2010 after two seasons in which he averaged about 4.2 points and 2.5 rebounds per game.
Last season, he averaged 12.9 points and 7.3 rebounds.
He has started 60 of 61 games over the past two seasons.
The Big 12 opens its conference tournament today in Kansas City. The Sooners play Iowa State on Thursday.

Welcome to the first edition of the HuskieWire.com Power Rankings. Each week, we'll rank the MAC teams and tell you which team is on the way up and which team is headed for a fall.
With that, here are the rankings, which I expect will dramatically change throughout the season.
1. Bowling Green (1-0) I don't think we gave enough credit to Bowling Green before the season began. Troy is going to a bowl this season and probably winning its conference title. Bowling Green made a few adjustments and throttled Troy in the second half.2. Buffalo (1-0) Quarterback Zach Maynard did just fine. The Bulls aren't going anywhere.3. Central Michigan (0-1) No shame in losing on the road to a Pac-10 team. The CMU offense looked like it had major jet lag, though. Maybe this is why you shouldn't play a game a few time zones away unless it has the word Bowl somewhere in there or you're taking home a seven-figure paycheck.4. Northern Illinois (0-1) Not bad. Not great. NIU had the ball in a one-possession game in the final two minutes. Not much else you can ask for on the road against a BCS team.5. Western Michigan (0-1) I don't think anybody expected Michigan to do what it did on Saturday. I think we'll be able to put this game in a better perspective once both teams play a few more games.6. Kent State (1-0) We didn't learn a thing about Kent State in its 18-0 victory against Coastal Carolina. We'll know a lot more after the Golden Flashes play Boston College.7. Toledo (0-1) Toledo couldn't keep up with Purdue, plain and simple. Colorado is a team in trouble, though. A win Friday at home would be huge for the Rockets. 8. Ohio (0-1) It will be interesting to see what the Bobcats do against North Texas.9. Ball State (0-1) I knew I should have gone with Riley Dodge in my horrible MAC picks. This could be a real ugly year for the Cardinals.10. Temple (0-1) I know Villanova is a tough FCS team, but losing another game in the final seconds and this time at home? Not a good sign.11. Akron (0-1) Just as we didn't learn anything about Kent State in its win, I don't think we learned much about Akron in its loss at Penn State. This spot seems right for this week, though.12. Eastern Michigan (0-1) A tough loss in the season-opener to Army in what will probably be the first of many this year for the Eagles.13. Miami (Ohio) (0-1) The rebuilding could take a few years.

Many people now accept the idea that we have more than one life — a past life; that we reincarnate as a different person somewhere in the world, so that we have the chance to keep learning the lessons our soul needs to learn in each lifetime. Often we find we remember a place even though we have never been there or are just drawn to go there, this is memory from a past life. This can be the same with people we know and especially those we are close tomore
we feel we already know them, or share a special bond. This is often because we have been with them in a past life and we still have things to learn from each other, so we are drawn together again in another reincarnation.
Past life readers are able to pick up on some of your past lives and can tell you some detail about them, where you lived your previous life and approximately when, and perhaps something of what you did in that lifetime.
Often the past life readers will tell you what you have brought forward from that life that you need to deal with and learn in this lifetime. Past life readings can fill in so many gaps for us and apart from being fascinating to know about, they can really help us learn more about who we are.
A past life reading can solve unresolved issues you may be carrying around with you from a previous life or these issues may act as a guiding light in your current life.

Visiting again, the occasion being the need to change my email address. Coincidentally, I just updated my main working machine from RH 5.2 to RH 7.3, moving from Netscape 4.61 to Mozilla. Runs like a pig in a holler -- guess it's time to shop for memory, the price of progress, right? Plus a whole net set of annoyances -- chiefly window focus behavior that defies my ability to analyze much less fix it, and Mozilla has usurped a bunch of emacs-editing control-keys so that whenever I try to type in new messages I'm attacked by flying widgets. Progress.
I haven't been able to put much time into the new ACLUG website, but it still looks like a promising project. We're using openacs to build a real community website for the local (Wichita, KS) LUG.
My other main project is to build a general website framework for writers (mostly music critics) based roughly on my work on the Robert Christgau website. Some fragments and notes are on my website. I've talked to 3-5 writers who seem like they're willing to participate. Main thing now is that I need to find some affordable hosting -- best deal I've found is a dedicated server for $130/month, which would allow 35GB/month. At this point Christgau is running close to 2GB/month, so that's probably good for 20-30 writers (assuming no music on the websites).
BTW, I have a more frequently updated diary (notebook) on my own website.

Good luck trying to read what the Fed will do. The U.S. jobless claim data turned out useless, my colleague Ben Levisohn explains. So we just have to wait for the Fed meeting next week.
Indonesia raised interest rate again, to pause the slide of the rupiah. The Indonesian rupiah is the only emerging market currency that suffered losses this month.
Just like last time, analysts are not impressed. Michael Shaoul of Marketfield Asset Management is now worried the rising rates are universal – in technical terms, a shift, not a twist – and it may start to affect the real side of the economy:
Indonesia's central bank surprised markets this morning by raising the base rate to 7.25%, taking it to the highest level since April 2009. This comes in response to a rise in the 10 year sovereign yield from under 5.50% in May to almost 9% in early September (see chart), meaning that sharply higher interest rates are now in effect across the yield curve. As with other emerging markets we doubt whether this tightening has yet had any effect on local economic activity, but the longer high interest rates remain in place the higher the likelihood that clear signs of stress will emerge.
Brazil's July retail sales rose 10 times faster than expected, making it tricky for the central bank to tamper down inflation. Bloomberg reports:
Brazil's central bank has undertaken the largest cycle of interest rate increases among major economies in a bid to tame above-target inflation, which hampered consumers in the first half of the year.
"If the July trend is confirmed, Brazil's central bank is in trouble," Pedro Tuesta, a Latin America economist at 4Cast. Inc., said by phone from Washington. "It would mean domestic demand is still very strong and they have more trouble with inflation than we were considering."
South African miners suffered from the fall in the price of gold. Mid-day, Gold Fields (GFI) lost 4.3%. AngloGold (AU) lost 2.9%.
