Google and LG have just announced their all-new Android 4.2 flagship phone, the Nexus 4 and it's a doozy. We all know Apple and the iPhone 5 are more about experience and ecosystem than speeds and feeds, but that doesn't mean we're not still curious how exactly those specs stack up. After all, specs are the engine that drive the experience, and while Apple's end-to-end integration lets them get better results with less horsepower, it's still fun to see what Android manufacturers are able to cram into their devices.
We also tossed in a couple other Android flagship devices, including the ubiquitous Samsung Galaxy S3 and stellar HTC One X as well as the also upcoming Windows 8 Phone, the Nokia Lumia 920.
So check out the chart up top, and if you want to know more about the Nexus 4, our Mobile Nations sibling site, Android Central, has you coved:

Roane County maintained a 7.2-percent unemployment rate through November and December, according to statistics released late last month by the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development.
That's down from the 7.5-percent rate the county registered in December 2012.
The latest figures show that 24,500 in the county's 26,410-strong workforce were employed during December.
The state rate, at 7.3 percent, and the national 6.5-percent national rate fell 0.1 percent during the month.

Good morning AO.
Now that I've had my morning dose of coffee, I think I can post an intelligent question.
Currently I'm using Trend Micro for desktops and my exchange servers. The only issue I have with trend is the price.
Now before I go off and contact an AVG reseller (which will bring a slue of sales calls and emails) I would like to know if anyone is using AVG for Exchange.
If you are, comments, concerns.
Thanks in advance.

text: Is there a way to fetch different vertex attributes at different rate. Like to use new vertex coordinates per every execution of the vertex shader but use the same color for 3 vertices. This would result in the vertex-pos VBO having 3x as many elements as the vertex-color VBO. Can that be done? Thanks!

The weather for the Dublin AM Rotary's Polar Bear Golf Open is always uncertain.
The weather for the Dublin AM Rotary's Polar Bear Golf Open is always uncertain.
The benefactors of the annual event slated for Feb. 2 at the Safari Golf Club, however, are always the same: children and families.
"We have two main fundraisers and this is the second one," said Claudia Trusty, Dublin AM Rotary past president and event organizer.
"The other is in the spring, Aces High," Trusty said. "It's been a casino night."
The Polar Bear Golf Open gives golfers the opportunity to play a nine-hole shot-gun scramble format no matter the weather. Previous events have taken place under sunny skies and in inches of snow.
"Depending on the weather golfers stay out for one or two holes or all nine," Trusty said.
The Dublin AM Rotary funds the event and all proceeds go to support club initiatives for children and families.
"Nationwide Children's Hospital, Welcome Warehouse and scholarships are primary uses," Trusty said.
The Nationwide Children's Hospital project funds training from Dr. William Shiels on interventional radiology, Trusty said.
"We help fund stipends for doctors to come here and study with Dr. Shiels," Trusty said.
"He created interventional radiology that is surgery without scars.
"Doctors come over here for three weeks to train with Dr. Shiels then go back to their own country and train other doctors," she said.
The Dublin AM Rotary has helped fund training for doctors from the Philippines, Spain and India for the medical practice that can dissolve a tumor without surgery.
Last year $12,000 was raised through the Polar Bear Golf Open and Trusty is hoping to fill all 144 spaces this year.
"It's just a great, fun event," she said. "Our golfers get tickets to the Chilly Open and can meet their families there for another great event."
For the $80 registration to the Polar Bear Golf Open, participants get nine holes of golf, a cart, breakfast, lunch and a ticket to the Chilly Open, held by the Westerville Sunrise Rotary at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium from noon to 5 p.m. Feb. 2.
The Chilly Open, a fundraiser for Westerville Sunrise Rotary, also benefits children's charities and includes food from 30 local restaurants, activities for children, music, raffles and a silent auction in heated tents and pavilions at the zoo.
This is the fourth year the Dublin AM Rotary has partnered with the Westerville Sunrise Rotary on the fundraisers and Trusty said the relationship has helped everyone involved.
"It definitely has (attracted more people). Our relationship with them is mutual," she said, adding that each organization points its members to both events. "It's been a synergetic relationship and its all for the kids."

What the hip crowd is saying about M
I did a cardio-blast class for the first time Tuesday, HIIT, squats, weights, plyo for an hour. Normally aching legs, lower back and overall muscle soreness not just the day after a new routine/ race but usually for two days after. [But] I doubled up on my CoreAO, and was able to power-garden yesterday with no problems!
I'm a nurse and a fitness instructor so I'm on my feet for long hours and do high-impact aerobics. A few weeks ago, [a condition] flared up really bad. It was continually getting worse, I was in constant pain and was starting to limp, but I was too busy to rest it. By the time I was done with my day my foot was throbbing . . . totally swollen and red from my toes to my ankles! I was certain it was broken! I thought I would try the CoreAO. I took three on Saturday, [and] by Sunday morning the swelling and pain were gone. I could walk! I even wore high heels to church!
I LOVE my GO! I used to be such a coffee and soda junkie, but I stopped cold-turkey after just one serving of GO! There's no crash, and the energy lasts for hours! It's been almost two weeks for me, and I feel AMAZING!
Thank you, TRIM & BURN, for bringing back my confidence — but most of all making me feel FABULOUS!
M is providing the opportunity to create additional income — that most people want and need — by simply sharing 'stiks' and their personal website. Everyone can do that!
We're excited about the future with M because we love the products, and we know that M will continue to grow and change millions of lives for the better!
I've walked away from companies where I made money. Why? Because at the end of the day, I was the ONLY one making enough to actually afford the products and earn a real check. I love that M is affordable, with a strong business model, and those that want to be a part of the model can actually earn money this time, not just me.
Since I've been using this amazing product I need less sleep and am waking up two hours earlier ? I have PTSD and usually never get a restful sleep. Part of my chronic fatigue stems from that, so now I have so much more energy! Very excited!
I just started with CoreAO on Thursday of this past week, and I am beyond pleased! Most Sundays I'm pretty much non-functional. Today I had none of that, and in fact had more energy than a normal day. Instead of coming home from work and collapsing on the couch I even took my dog for a walk! I am so happy to be able to share this!

Eclipse is a free, powerful, and full-featured development environment that can be set up to work with AVR and Arduino. This page is very much a work-in-progress, please feel free to add to it or improve it.
Below is explanation how to setup Eclipse with WinAVR and the Eclipse plugin AVR-eclipse. There is an easier 100%free and opensource way to use Eclipse. For details see http://www.baeyens.it/eclipse/
PlatformIO is free and open-source cross-platform code builder and library manager. It doesn't depend on any additional libraries/tools from an operation system. It allows you to use PlatformIO beginning from PC and ending with credit-card sized computers (like Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone, CubieBoard).
All instructions are described in the main documentation Integration PlatformIO with Eclipse IDE.
There are no current packages, but it's easy to install as per above. Create e.g.
/usr/local/pckg/eclipse and unpack the downloaded eclipse archive. Get the eclipse C/C++ release with all the Linux add-ons. Create a symlink in
/usr/local/bin to the
eclipse executable in the unpacked eclipse directory. Installing plugins from inside eclipse gets them installed in the user's home directory,
zypper -v ar -k -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/CrossToolchain:/avr/openSUSE_11.4/
zypper -v in avrdude avr-libc avr-example cross-avr-gcc cross-avr-insight
The avr-eclipse plugin cannot automatically find the WinAVR installed with the IDE. Therefore you need to either configure the Eclipse plugin to find WinAVR in the IDE location, or install WinAVR in the default location.
In Eclipse, select Window->Preferences, then click the AVR tree view entry.
Select OK to close the Preferences window.
Open the project properties (right click the project and select properties). Select AVR->AVRDude the tab programmer. Create a new programmer configuration using the new button.
One more step is needed (under Win7 with Eclipse 4.2, AVR plugin v2.4, and Arduino IDE v1.0.1) to get AVRDude working. When invoked from Eclipse, AVRDude cannot find its config file. To fix this, copy the AVRDude config file from:
"C:\path-to-arduino\hardware\tools\avr\etc\avrdude.conf" to
You should now be able to compile and upload Arduino projects in Eclipse.
Note: As these are workspace settings you may have to redo this setup for each workspace you use.
Install the latest version of [http://winavr.sourceforge.net/ | WinAVR]]. This should work "out of the box" with the latest version of the AVR plugin, as long as you install WinAVR to the default directory. If it doesn't, follow the instructions for using WinAVR here: Programming AVR with Eclipse and WinAVR
There are three ways to get the Arduino core library:
The library source code is included in the Arduino IDE download, in the hardware/cores/arduino directory. At the very least, you will need the header files from that directory accessible to your Eclipse project:
* HardwareSerial.h * WProgram.h * wiring.h * WConstants.h * binary.h * pins_arduino.h * wiring_private.h
You will also need the .a static library.
The resulting program becomes substantially smaller when linking with a static library, so this is the only sensible option. (The link order matters too!)
This is the preferred method. However, I (Ecologisto) couldn't use it on Mac as I didn't find the specified files. The third option did work fine on mac though.
From any Arduino IDE project, get the core.a file in the compilation subdirectory. To generate this file you will need to create and verify a project in the Arduino IDE. It can be any program, such as the Blink program. Make sure that the correct target board is selected in the Arduino IDE.
The compilation subdirectory is a temporary folder. For example, in Windows 7, the object files might be stored in the following directory:
And for Linux it will be:
And on a Mac (>=10.5) it will be somwhere under:
/var/folders (Example: /var/folders/3V/3V-hlvHMEDCp4QCrrmPOKE+++TI/-Tmp-/build8628825626808181146.tmp)
The X's in the build...tmp directory are a hash that map to the project whose temporary files are held in the directory. The temporary files are named after the project, so you can verify that you're copying the correct library.
Copy the core.a file into your own project directory, and rename it to libArduinoCore.a. You can call it anything, so long as it starts with "lib" and ends with ".a". It might be a good idea to name the file after its target, e.g. libArduinoMegaCore.a, so that you can always tell what the library's target architecture is.
You can copy the entire contents of the hardware/cores/arduino directory into your Eclipse project so that it is compiled into the application every time. This requires that you use C++ projects, and the projects will take a bit longer to compile. This generally isn't a very good idea unless you're hacking the core code.
You can compile your own static library in Eclipse. The best way is to create this as a library project, and to define a build configuration for each combination of AVR CPU and clock frequency you have.
The sources are copied from the Arduino IDE. Download that, and unpack it somwhere.
328P_16MHz (no spaces!). Add a descriptive text. Copy settings from Debug. Click OK. Select the configuration just added, click Set active. Click OK.
${workspace_loc:/${ProjName}/src}. Click OK.
ln -s).
arduino_core the name of the library project created earlier, and
src the name of the source directory in the library project.
; avr-nm -C -n ${OUTPUT} >${BuildArtifactFileBaseName}.symbol
This project setup is as close as possible to the Arduino IDE. On Linux it is possible to use the same source files for an Arduino sketch and an eclipse project (just don't edit them with both at the same time), and compile/upload either with eclipse or the Arduino IDE.
*.pde of type C++ source file, and
-x c++" to the C++ compiler settings.
-Wl,--gc-sections to the linker options.
#include <WProgram.h>, even the .pde files. It doesn't hurt with the IDE, which does it automatically.
When you try to build you get a prompt saying something like "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142). [...]". The workaround described on http://www.ulrichradig.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2842 (in german) worked fine for me: Download this file and replace the existant file in "<WinAVR installation path>\utils\bin\" and retry to build.
Another workaround in english is described here.
The C++ standard apparently requires this function when using certain language features. This is e.g. the case when using the Print class, or the Serial object, which probably means most Arduino programs. Interestingly, when compiling programs with the Arduino IDE this function remains undefined and no error is produced. It seems this can be achieved with eclipse AVR programs and the following linking order: user program files, user libraries, Arduino libraries, libarduino_core.a, libm.a.
If you do need this function, the most flexible is to put this into a file
pure_virtual.cpp in the project's source folder:
extern "C" void __cxa_pure_virtual() { #ifdef __AVR__ asm("cli"); #endif while (1) ; }
The contents of the __cxa_pure_virtual function can be any error handling code; this function will be called whenever a pure virtual function is called. This file can be excluded from being compiled into the project by right-clicking on its name, selecting properties, and checking "exclude from build".
Using new, delete, and dynamic memory management generally is not recommended for small embedded devices because it can become a resource hog. If you must have it, create a
.cpp file in the project source folder with this content:
#include <stdlib.h> __extension__ typedef int __guard __attribute__((mode (__DI__))); void * operator new(size_t size) { return malloc(size); } void operator delete(void * ptr) { free(ptr); } void * operator new[](size_t size) { return malloc(size); } void operator delete[](void * ptr) { if (ptr) free(ptr); } int __cxa_guard_acquire(__guard *g) {return !*(char *)(g);} void __cxa_guard_release (__guard *g) {*(char *)g = 1;} void __cxa_guard_abort (__guard *) {}
Turning on "pedantic" compiler warnings by adding '--pedantic' to AVR Compiler -> Miscellaneous -> Other flags and AVR C++ Compiler -> Miscellaneous -> Other flags could save some headache.
The last trap is in the fact that by default printf is not supporting float numbers. However because the C++ projects can be complex, it is wise to go to Project Options/Libraries section, you might want to include
but NOT libprintf_min, libscanf_min.
The Arduino environment issues a reset command prior to uploading. This reset command is essential for any kind of bootloader communication. If your hardware is not reset there is no way for avrdude to communicate with the bootloader. Any attempt will result in errors like:
"avrdude: stk500_2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout".
Newer versions of AVRDude (such as the one shipped with CrossPack) will also do this.
Instead of using programmer stk500v1 with AVRdude, use programmer arduino and it creates the reset automatically. In the project properties, change AVR -> AVRDude, Programmer tab, Programmer configuration. Edit the existing one or add a new one.
If you have an older version and are using Windows, you can overcome this problem with this little app. Attach:newavrdude.exe
To use this, you need to:
1) rename the avrdude.exe that is currently being used by eclipse to "realavrdude.exe" 2) Make sure that in the eclipse configuration for avrdude, you specify the port override. This should add something like "-P//./COM7" and it needs to be argument #3 (if this causes a problem for anyone, let me know and I'll build in some configuration stuff). 3) copy newavrdude.exe into the same directory as realavrdude.exe, and rename it to avrdude.exe
When using the Arduino IDE, you just have to define setup() and loop() functions and the IDE already has a main functional defined in the core library that calls setup() and loop() functions.
When setting up the Arduino core library as described above, it is functionally identical to the Arduino programming environment. That is, don't provide main(), but do define setup() and loop(). This is the easiest option.
If you must have your own main(), remove it from the arduino_core library. Eclipse does not define the main() function for you. However, you can use Arduino's default main() function by copying the main.cxx file from the hardware/cores/arduino directory in the Arduino IDE package. You might have to rename this file to main.c for Eclipse to recognize it as a code file. Linking in main.cxx will allow you just to define the setup() and loop() functions like you would in the Arduino IDE.
You must #include "WProgram.h" in your application program to gain access to the Arduino API.
If you choose to define your own main function, you must NEVER return from main(). I mean, you-MUST-NEVER-return-from-main. In human language, this could be translated as "the main() function must contain some kind of endless loop, because if it ends, the Arduino won't stop the program but will just keep reading random data as code". You must also always add a call to init(); as your first instructions. Not doing this will prevent any time-related functions from working.
So, your basic code will usually look like :
int main(void) { /* Must call init for arduino to work properly */ init(); /****************************/ /* Add your setup code here */ /****************************/ for (;;) { /****************************/ /*** write main loop here ***/ /****************************/ } // end for } // end main
Configure the correct USB serial port in AVRDude. It's one of /dev/ttyUSBN, with N being some digit. Best in the long run is to configure udev rules for your Arduino board serial numbers that create a symbolic link to the USB device currently being used by your board. The link name remains constant.
Since we either upload our code direct via a serial port as with the "Arduino Serial" or via USB (which also only simulates a serial port with the FTDI chip on the Arduino borad) we need to know which serial port our Board is connected to.
On Windows, the FTDI virtual COM port driver doesn't register its COM port until the Arduino board is plugged in. With the board plugged into USB, type "devmgmt.msc" into CMD to open the device manager. Go to "Ports (COM & LPT)" and find the "USB Serial Port (COMx)" where x is the number of the port connected to the Arduino. This COM port will usually be the same on your machine even if you reboot or unplug the Arduino, but might differ on different machines.
Go back to your project settings, and go the AVR/AVRDude page. Create a new programmer configuration. You only need to do this once; for other Arduino projects, you can reuse this configuration.
For Diecimila and Duemilanove, the "Programmer Hardware" is "ATMEL STK500 Version 1.x firmware". If you have a recent version of AVRDude, you can also choose "Arduino" which uses a protocol similar to STK500 1.x Version. For the Uno it should work as well.
Enter the name of your serial port in the "Override default port" field. Usually this is something like "/dev/cu.usbserialx" in *NIX and something like "//./COMx" in Windows. Override the default baud rate to 19200 for Arduinos based on the ATmega168, or 57600 for Arduinos based on the ATmega328p. If you receive an error similar to
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0xe0
on a ATmega328p, try 115200 baud rate.
Once you've configured the programmer, save it, then go to the "Advanced" tab and check "Disable device signature check".
If you are using WinAVR-20090313 or earlier on Windows, then you will need to replace the default avrdude.exe and avrdude.conf in the WinAVR directory with the ones from the following directories in the Arduino IDE folder:
hardware\tools\avr\bin\avrdude.exe hardware\tools\avr\etc\avrdude.conf
If you've checked "AVR Dude" in the Additional tool in toolchain panel of the C/C++ Build Settings, your program will get upload at each build. Else, you can just right click your project in the Explorer and choose "AVR/Upload Project to Device" or click the AVR upload button.
If everything worked out fine, your Eclipse console will print something like
avrdude: verifying ... avrdude: 1280 bytes of flash verified avrdude done. Thank you. Finished building: avrdudedummy
If you have Target Management Project installed, just go to the Window menu / Show View / Other.. And choose Terminal/Terminal. Open it with a serial link and choose the serial port your Arduino is connected to. Notice you'll probably have to disconnect the terminal while uploading.
As the RXTX library is a troublemaker for many people, there is a workaround : Just start a SSH or Telnet (please be aware this may be a potential security leak) server on your computer and open it in the Eclipse terminal. Then, on any unix, just type :
cat /dev/your_serial_port/
The Arduino Blink example implemented in an Eclipse project can be found on github right here. It contains the Arduino Core Library and is therefore completely self contained, the Arduino IDE is not needed. All command line options are configured so that they are as similar to the Arduino IDE as possible creating equally small binaries. It can be imported into Eclipse pretty easily using its Git extension providing a good starting point for your application. An installation manual is available there too.

Attention: This Free At Noon is at the Kimmel Center
Peyroux is back at it with her new album The Blue Room, which began as an homage to Ray Charles's classic record Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music but eventually extended to covers of John Hartford, Warren Zevon, Leonard Cohen and more. Peyroux has long been noted for similar vocal style that of Billie Holiday, and she learned her own vocal mannerisms by listening to Holiday's. But Peyroux has always played out her career on her own terms. After the release of her debut album Dreamland in 1996, Peyroux went back to busking for several years, not putting out another record until 2004's Got You On My Mind with collaborator William Galison. She's also known for her intense privacy as well as her memorable live vocal performances and jazz/blues guitar work.
This special performance is live from The Kimmel Center as Madeleine Peyroux helps kick off the start of the Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts (PIFA), and performs songs from her new album.
Special Note there is no priority entry for XPN Members at this event.

Furthermore, this overly optimistic view of our export potential is a big reason why the federal government is not considering U.S. agricultural policy that could correct agriculture's problems, says Daryll Ray, who holds the Blasingame Chair of Excellence in agricultural economics at UT.
The problem with exports "is that we are only looking at the demand side assuming that we would get the export markets," Ray said. "We didn't look at the possibilities for increasing supply in other parts of the world, including areas we are actually looking to for increased demand.
"We have to recognize that most countries don't want to import food. If you were in a country where your food is a serious concern and you knew that you would be subject to the whims of another country, I don't think reducing the price by any amount is going to make you want to shut down your production agriculture."
Evidence is mounting that Ray is right, considering that today there are ample supplies of most commodities in the world and that several countries are continuing to expand their production capacity.
"We need to be realistic and understand that we will always be an exporter," he said. "But it's a residual market, not an everlasting dump that we can use to convince farmers that everything is going to be wonderful."
Unfortunately, it's not in everyone's best interests to agree with Ray. "It is to agribusinesses' benefit for farm policy to continue going the way it's going. They have that much more to process, that many more inputs to sell."
In addition, "Agribusiness, no question about it, has had a tremendous impact on the direction of farm policy over the last few years and are highly motivated to continue the way things are right now."
Some U.S. commodity groups do recognize this, according to Ray, "but there are lots of others that have bought into the idea that planting flexibility is good, and therefore we don't want to do anything that would mess with that.
"Many of them have also bought into the idea that exports are the ultimate growth potential for agriculture. There is not a totally objective analysis that is going on with these groups. They think that it is," Ray said.
One idea that that is hard to ignore is that farmers always produce too much. "That's just the way it is." Ray suggests two time-proven solutions, a farmer-owned reserve and some type of land diversion program.
"The big reason we need to have a farmer-owned reserve (FOR) is to preserve the markets that we already have. If you look back at 1983 and 1988, when we had a tremendous drop in corn yield, we had 4 billion bushels of stock in our farmer-owned reserve that we could use for our exports and satisfy our domestic demand. Today, we think we have a lot of stock, but we really don't."
A farmer-owned reserve would also, "sop up a lot of this grain very quickly at very reasonable prices. If we just announced an FOR this month, the price of corn would jump."
A FOR in place in the 1970s did not survive the 1996 farm bill. Farmers were mixed about its benefits, noted Ray. "Some farmers liked it when we had an FOR because they got their storage paid for, but a lot of other farmers said that the FOR is keeping the price from going real high which is when they make all their money.
"But those high prices also cause foreign agricultures around the world to sit up and take notice and start investing in their agriculture like they never have before. Also, you may be the one with the low yields and don't have anything to sell anyway.
"Another complaint about the FOR was that it got too large, and I think we would need to put a cap on how large we allow it to get. We need to manage it properly."
On land diversion, Ray points out that the United States is already well-schooled in making projections on domestic demand and what exports might do in the year ahead, then looking at what changes need to be made in inventories.
"It's not something that we can't do or haven't done. And will we make mistakes? Absolutely. But doing nothing and spending $32 billion in a given fiscal year for farm assistance is not a solution either."
Farmers also worry that a return to a land diversion or acreage reduction programs would mean the loss of planting flexibility.
"We don't have to have a land diversion program tied to the history of a particular crop if we don't want to. The idea is that you would set-aside a certain percentage of your total crop base, rather than 10 percent of your corn, 5 percent of your wheat or 1 percent of your cotton.
"The government moved away from that because they wanted more control. But, we can manage it to be more flexible or we can manage it to be very rigid."
Given the current supply/demand situation, Ray would opt for "some measure of total cropland base for the major crops and have farmers reduce land by a percentage of that total. Let them produce what they want on the remainder. Everything is in excess, so it really doesn't matter."
In the future, there may situations where there are excesses in one or two crops and some crops have shortages. At that time, farm policy may take a closer look at the tradeoff between farmer flexibility and allowing the markets to work more reasonably. "But that's not something that we have to address right now."
Unfortunately, the political climate of the times is such that neither land diversion nor an FOR is being seriously considered, noted Ray, who recently testified before the House Agricultural Committee. "But if we have two or three more years like the ones we've had the last three years, and we're going to have to realize that the production side is the problem and we're going to have to do something about it.
"Right now, we need to get people thinking that in the near future, we're producing too much and we have to do something."
Economists have discussed a global effort to control supply, noted Ray. "The problem is that the United States is typically the country that holds the reserves and would have to share that, along with acreage reduction, with the rest of the world."
In addition, China and Brazil may be hard pressed to agree to such a policy. Both countries have agriculture development policies in place which places emphasis on expanding acreage not fixed acreage.

Last year, she and her husband, rocker Chris Martin of the band Coldplay, combined two London townhouses with the help of his architect brother, Al Martin. They restored the period details and added such funky touches as a rumpus room for the couple's two children and a skull-and-crossbones motif on the library's mantel. Paltrow\u2014whose lifestyle website GOOP will release iPad and iPhone apps this fall\u2014may one day design her own furniture and tabletop collections. "That's kind of the dream," she says. "Maybe when the kids are older." See some of Gwyneth's favorites here and check out the September issue of ELLE DECOR, on newsstands August 16, for the rest.\nClick here to see what Gwyneth Paltrow can't live without.

The 12-axis Swiss-type machine features an independent three-turret design to allow three tools to be used at any time, working simultaneously in the cut. Fully independent front/back machining capability enables a variety of tools to make complicated parts in a single operation. Providing fast rapids and a quick tool change with great accuracies, the ECAS-20T is suitable for traditionally difficult and complex parts, the company says.
The company's motion control system optimizes machining operations by controlling the position of multiple tools, tool feed rates and machining speeds. Each control system can function independently, allowing all tools to carry out separate operations for optimum machining. According to the company, an advantage of the system is a reduction in idle machine time.

The book signing was held at West Elm, a store I'd never even been to. I wanted to buy every thing in the store because it was all so adorable, but alas, my pockets aren't that deep. A friend, her baby and I got in line at about 4:30 and it really wasn't that long at that point. They hadn't let YHL fans into the store to line up since it was technically still open to the public, so we waited outside for about an hour and a half. I hadn't really thought that we'd be waiting outside, so I neglected to wear a jacket or bring a hat or mittens. Even though it was a nice day in MN (50 degrees in the middle of November is nice!), it was a chilly wait.
6:00 finally rolled around and we were let into the store. Then, magical fairies (aka servers) started handing out the most delicious cookies in the world (Gingerbread, Cranberry Oatmeal and Chocolate Chip Sea Salt) and hot chocolate with marshmallows. I'd stand in line for 3 hours for those cookies again. Once we were in the store, it took us about an hour and a half to get to the front of the line to see John and $herdog. It really wasn't a bad wait since we wound through the whole store and got to view all of the merchandise (well played, West Elm) and I got to coo over my friend's adorable baby the whole time.
I must say, West Elm totally had their act together. It was organized and I didn't feel on guard about all of the people around me. Usually in a crowd that big, I get a little anxious, especially if people are breathing down my neck. But, I felt I had enough personal space around me the whole time. Everyone in line was patient and non-jerk like, which made it even better.
Finally, we got to the front of the line. I went up first, handed my camera to a West Elm employee who was taking pictures for everyone and awkwardly introduced myself to John and Sherry. I thought about what I would say the whole time I was in line and really didn't come up with anything good. Normally, when I'm nervous, I just start blabbing, and that's exactly what I did. Oh, but first, Sherry complimented me on my glasses. So sweet.
When I started talking, I think I mentioned that I was a loyal follower on Twitter (@malisaann) and Instagram (malieser) and that we'd tweeted each other a few times. John mentioned how he was really bad at Twitter, but was thankful for a system that helped him stay organized (Tweetdeck maybe?).
I quickly asked if I could get a photo and of course, they said yes. They must have taken 800 photos with fans last night.
Even though it was a long wait for such a brief encounter, it was totally worth it. We left the store at about 8:00, which is when the event was supposed to end, but the line was still out the door of the store. My bet is that Sherry and John stayed until every fan had their book signed. They seem so genuinely thankful for their fans, which makes them even more lovable! I'm looking forward to digging into the book and finding some new projects for the house!
Edited to add: John tweeted me after reading my post and clarified that they use Hootsuite to stay organized, not Tweetdeck!

Things didn't go the way the Pacers had hoped for last season. There was another flame-out to the team they were out to take down, their Eastern Conference nemesis Miami Heat. Now free agency and trade rumors are creeping their way into the mix and threaten to cause a serious shake-up in Indiana.
Much of that, however, is out of the hands of Pacers All-Star Paul George. While he, the Pacers and the NBA wait for the dust to settle on the craziness that is the season of free agency, George continues to work on perfecting the 360-windmill dunk that he's recently taken on as his own.
Similar to the days of the NBA lockout, many NBA players take advantage of Pro-ams and high-caliber summer tournaments like the Drew League to not only keep their games tight, but to also put on a show. Even in the offseason, George seems to still have that aspect of the game on lock.

What does James Holmes, the Colorado killer, have in common with Jared Loughner, Andres Behring Breivik, Seung-Hui Cho, Dylan Klebold, and Eric Harris? They all have massacred innocent people on a massive scale. Yet they have something else in common. They are all nobodies or losers, as the phrase has it.
All were on a downward incline from a not very lofty ascent. They were troubled, but there are other troubled souls in our society. They were fascinated with violence, but so are others. Why else would major entertainment corporations invest so much money in clang & bang, blood & guts entertainments like childish movies, idiotic video games and even rap music?
They were quiet, loners, and dreamy isolates. My guess is they have watched a lot of TV with canned laughter and implausible sound effects. I do not see a lot of participation in sport with these young heroes' lives. At their most active, they are probably vigorous onanists.
They were fascinated with guns but also other tools of destruction. Holmes had sedulously strung up his apartment with explosives so that it would be turned into an inferno when the authorities arrived. Now one thing that troubles me is that others are out there dreaming similar dreams. I fear we shall discover that there are ever more of these creeps.
Commentators across America are all rummaging through their minds to ferret out something arresting to say about James Holmes. Well, all I can say is that he is a creep with no special talent, but what if there are more like him out there? Though I have not seen anyone mention it in all the commentary about the Aurora massacre, my fear is that the massacres are increasing in frequency. Could it be that there is gathering a sub-culture of a subculture of a subculture of young men peering out at the drama of Aurora, Colorado and preparing to surpass the carnage of Holmes and his peers? Perhaps it is time that the cameras and the commentators shut down about them. Forget them. They most assuredly seek attention. Let us agree not to give it to them.
It takes only a person of mediocre intelligence, no particular courage, and what Hannah Arendt, the twentieth century political theorist, famously called the banality of evil to commit a crime of the magnitude of the above losers. Let us stop commenting on them and turn to other things, such as the way journalists report these events.
Shortly after the Aurora massacre, The New York Times headlined that the atrocity was "Reviving Debate." What debate is the Times talking about? Five paragraphs into its story, the Times elaborated, "The nation was plunged into another debate about guns and violence." Actually, the Times, along with the other brain-dead liberals, wishes that the nation would be "plunged into another debate about guns and violence," but the debate is in the eyes of the beholders. There are now over 200 million guns in America. The time for debate was around 1900, and does anyone think that western cowboys, for instance, would have given up their guns easily? Perhaps among thoughtful people, the debates would never have taken place. Today Americans cannot even secure their borders. How are we going to collect all those guns? My guess is that if there is a debate, it will be among liberals. The rest of the country does not know what to do about public massacres. That is a problem. The liberals' solution is no solution at all.
Back in 1955, in Chicago, about the time of the famous Schuessler-Peterson murders, I heard a famous police reporter tell my parents that reporters of his era reported on such grisly crimes reticently. They did not reveal things that they knew might betray the investigators' plans to investigate the murder. And another thing -- they did not write much about the perpetrator of the crime once he was nabbed. They knew the creep and others like him were encouraged to undertake "copycat" crimes.
Right now, I fear that we may be at a point where copycats are planning to outdo Holmes and his colleagues. Let us leave them to sulk in their lonely cells. After all, there really is not much to say about them that is very interesting.
Timothy McVeigh should be included in the list of perps.
In no way, shape or form was Holmes a "nobody" or "loser" and, he definitely stands out from the rest of the guys mentioned.
At age 24, to be in a PhD Neuroscience program with an NIH grant is probably putting you above 99.9% of the rest of the 24 year olds in the country.
The Holmes family has been reported as extremely active Presbyterians. He went to church; I doubt he went to church in the last month, and perhaps he didn't go regularly once he started undergrad, but it was a religious family.
The boys at the New York Times live in their glory days - for them it's forever 1968 - and liberals are righting all wrongs. They prefer that to the truth - they're old and 'out of touch with today's reality'...
I am very intrigued what made Holmes do what he did. No one seems to have pegged him as capable of doing this heinous crime. I no longer am going to speculate, which I did at the beginning of all this....for which I am very sorry.
Speaking of religious murderers, we also have Dr. Nidal Hassan (sp?) who held the indoor record here in the USA until now-— or is this list just for younger people of the non-muz persuasion?
How about adding Ted Kaczynski?
I guess he became a loser/nobody after the massacre. He sure looked the part in court.
Hope you're not implying that non-attendance at church makes one more likely to be a mass killer.
What stops him from being a loser, his high IQ or his education?
"In no way, shape or form was Holmes a nobody or loser and, he definitely stands out from the rest of the guys mentioned."
Shirley, you geste.
He was a B-student, unacceptable to a multi-degreed, adoptive father. The so-called "snap" incident, it's been reported, was his failure of a final, which prompted his "withdrawal" from UC.
I'd say non-attendance at church or synagogue probably does raise their chance of being mass murderers.
On the other hand, regular attendance at a mosque also raises the mass murderer possibility.
Shows you the different bases of the religions - Christianity and Judaism do not appeal to the delusional mentally ill, but Islam does.
That distinction is described in Clayton Cramer's newest book in which he points out that every one of these non-political mass murderers had some sort of serious mental illness that in earlier decades would have resulted in their involuntary committment. He also points out that astonishing rise in violent crime in the 60's and 70's coincided almost exactly with the left's (led by the ACLU) push to deinstitutionalize these psychotic individuals.
The brilliance of the Left, and the MSM's shilling of the leftist points, is that they institute a policy that is sure to lead to an increase in human misery (in this case, deinstitutionalization), and then find a way to blame liberty itself for the inevitable tragedies.
So, according to the MSM, the way to keep psychotics from obtaining firearms is to prevent everyone from obtaining firearms. So we get proposals to enhance "background checks" for people with mental illness -- surely the definition that the left will insist on will include minor neuroses to which virtually everyone at some point in his or her life is subject, rather than the obvious altnernative of figuring out a civil commmittment procedure that treats the treatable, and protects society in the interim.
On the other hand, regular attendance at a mosque also raises the mass murderer possibility.
Shows you the different bases of the religions - Christianity and Judaism do not appeal to the delusional mentally ill, but Islam does.
Thanks for your civil reply, sometimes lacking on FR. I agree with all but your first statement; for example, I don't think my non-attendance at a church (I have been in a church many times but not on a regular basis) raises my chance of being a mass murderer.
Well maybe this why he was confused. They go to Penasquitos Lutheran Church in SD. Course it is elca, so confusion is rampant. Being elca and reported as active Presbyterians is gonna cause problems.
Ted Kaczynski cabin had a marked-up book by Al Gore - the nut was a Gore fan and believed in Global Warming. And he graduated Harvard - and taught at Berkeley - in short a liberal. Which is why he's not talked about much by liberal elites in the MSM... This new killer is not exactly a 'loser' by most standards... well, up until he became a killer - at which point he's a monster...
No, in your case I'm sure it doesn't! What I meant, actually, is that a person who regularly attends a church or synagogue is probably plugged into a community and is not out there following his crazy fantasies. Generally, if someone goes off the rails in the church, it's because of a personal dispute (was fired from a church job by the pastor, thought the organist was having an affair with his wife, or some such thing).
I was for deinstitutionalization before I was against it (sorry, Kerry) when it started in Florida back in the 60's-'70s. I was working indirectly on helping to reduce the population at institutions for the developmentally disabled. Sure, there were higher functioning people who could have coped in the community, but the vast majority did a lot better in the institution. It was much worse for the mentally ill whom we now find under bridges and along river banks (as well as in jails). I am all for opening up the institutions and repopulating with appropriate individuals who need a safe place to be (and so do we out here in Society). Unfortunately, Loughner and Holmes would not be in there because they did nothing prior to their crimes for a judge to commit them. Right?

The New York State Department of Health has approved Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center's application to implement a comprehensive wound care program on its downtown campus.
The centerpiece of the program will be a new wound care center with two hyperbaric chambers that will allow patients to receive 100 percent oxygen to speed the healing of their wounds, thus providing a more advanced treatment option for those who qualify for the procedure.
The center is scheduled to open in October.
"This is very good news for the growing number of people who need this specialized care, especially the elderly and patients with diabetes," said Memorial President and CEO Joseph A. Ruffolo. "This center will enable us to offer advanced healing therapies that utilize proven clinical protocols, individual patient treatment plans and a disease-management approach to wound healing."
The center is being developed in conjunction with RestorixHealth, one of the country's leaders in comprehensive wound management programs.
Wound care programs specialize in treating chronic or problem wounds, typically those that fail to respond to conventional treatment within 30 days. Such wounds are typically associated with medical conditions such as diabetes, poor circulation and immobility.
Hyperbaric oxygen chambers work by surrounding the patient with 100 percent oxygen at higher than normal atmospheric pressure. This increase in the amount of oxygen stimulates the tissues and helps the wounds heal more quickly.
A $700,000 investment will be made to renovate and equip the center, which will create five jobs.

The first time a kayak hits the water it will get some scratches and scrapes on it. Over time a well used kayak will be littered with scuffs and scrapes. It's part of owning a kayak. Even brand new kayaks will have scuffs and scrapes right out of the wrapper. The kayaks are made in places like South Carolina, California and Washington. Over the course of time they will bump into things in storage and transportation. This is normal and to be expected of kayaks from any kayak manufacturer. The only way to get a kayak without a single ding or scratch is to get the guys that guard the Stanley cup to protect and deliver the kayak. The guardians of the cup will probably get miffed the first time you scoot over a sand bar though.
The point of this message is to inspect your new kayak thoroughly when purchasing but remember that if the scratches aren't affecting the integrity of the kayak it's just one of what will be a thousand scratches in your kayaks future.

The following editorial appeared in the Los Angeles Times on Wednesday.
President Barack Obama unveiled a budget proposal Tuesday that's more of a Democratic Party wish list than a realistic spending blueprint for a divided government.
Higher taxes on the wealthy? Check. More spending on anti-poverty programs, research, infrastructure and schools? Check.
But while Republicans in Congress were quick to dismiss Obama's proposal — "(P)erhaps his most irresponsible budget yet," House Speaker John Boehner asserted, conceding only the vague possibility that Obama had done worse before — they should at the very least act on his suggestions for promoting employment and economic growth that dovetail with their own ideas.

Washington faces at least three intertwined fiscal problems: a sluggish economy that's not creating enough good jobs; large annual budget deficits left over from the recession; and rising health care costs that could cause the deficit to grow uncontrollably in the not-too-distant future.
As in his previous budgets, Obama made no herculean efforts to bring the budget into balance or solve the long-term problems in entitlements. His main effort instead was on breathing more life into the economy now.
That's a perfectly fine thing to focus on, considering how long the economy has been stuck in low gear, how many people remain unemployed and how much a vigorously growing economy will help solve Washington's fiscal problems.
Obama's problem is that so many of his ideas for promoting growth — such as spending more on education and training, overhauling U.S. immigration law and extending unemployment benefits — are nonstarters with the House Republican majority.
Within Obama's $3.9 trillion budget, though, are at least two proposals that make economic and political sense, and that the Republicans might be persuaded to support.
One is to expand the tax credit for individual low-income workers without children. Republicans invented the earned income tax credit as an alternative to welfare payments, and unlike some other benefit programs, it gives participants a financial incentive to work their way out of poverty.
Although Republicans won't like how Obama proposes to pay for it — by raising taxes on hedge-fund managers and some self-employed individuals — they should seize the opportunity to strike a deal to expand the credit.
The president has also called, again, for beefing up infrastructure investments.
With more fuel-efficient cars on the road, the amount of gas-tax dollars available to repair America's crumbling roads and bridges has been shrinking. Yet lawmakers have been unable to agree on how to replenish those funds.
The president offered a temporary fix: using onetime revenue from overhauling the corporate tax code to pay for a new round of projects. This stopgap approach would let lawmakers spend more now while costs are still low, rather than waiting to agree on a long-term solution.

Radioactive abscess scan looks abscesses in the body using a radioactive material. An
Alternative Names
Radioactive abscess scan; Abscess scan
How the test is performed
Blood is drawn from a vein, most often on the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand.
- The site is cleaned with germ-killing medicine (antiseptic).
- The health care provider wraps an elastic band around the upper arm to apply pressure to the area and make the vein swell with blood.
- Next, the health care provider gently inserts a needle into the vein. The blood collects into an airtight vial or tube attached to the needle.
- The elastic band is removed from your arm.
- The puncture site is covered to stop any bleeding.
The blood sample is then sent to a lab. There the white blood cells are tagged with a radioactive substance called indium. The cells are then injected back into a vein body through another needle stick.
You will need to return to the office 6-24 hours later. At that time, you will have a nuclear medicine scan to see if white blood cells have gathered in areas of your body where they would not be normally.
How to prepare for the test
Most of the time you do not need special preparation. You will need to sign a consent form.
For the test, you will need to wear a hospital gown or loose clothing. You will need to take off all jewelry.
Tell the health care provider if you are pregnant. This procedure is NOT recommended if you are pregnant or trying to become pregnant. Women of childbearing age (before menopause) should use some form of birth control during the course of this procedure.
Tell your health care provider if you have or had any of the following medical conditions, procedures, or treatments, as they can interfere with test results:
Gallium (Ga) scanwithin the past month Hemodialysis Hyperglycemia
- Long-term antibiotic therapy
- Steroid therapy
- Total parenteral nutrition (through an IV)
How the test will feel
Some people feel a little pain when the needle is inserted to draw blood. Others feel only a prick or sting. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
The nuclear medicine scan is painless. It may be a little uncomfortable to lie flat and still on the scanning table. This is only for a short time.
Why the test is performed
An abscess may form after surgery, or it may form on its own. Symptoms of an abscess depend on where it is found, but may include:
Not feeling well (malaise)
This test is used to locate an abscess in the body. Often, other imaging tests such as an
Normal Values
Normal findings would show no abnormal gathering of white blood cells.
What abnormal results mean
A gathering of white blood cells outside of the normal areas is a sign of either an abscess or other type of inflammatory process.
Some types of abscess are:
Abdominal abscess
Amebic liver abscess
Anorectal abscess
Bartholin's abscess
Epidural abscess
Peritonsillar abscess
Pyogenic liver abscess
Skin abscess
Spinal cord abscess
Subcutaneous abscess
Tooth abscess
What the risks are
- Some bruising may occur at the site of injection.
- There is always a slight chance of infection when the skin is broken.
- There is low-level radiation exposure.
The test is controlled so that you get only the smallest amount of radiation exposure needed to produce the image. Most experts feel that the risk is very low compared with the benefits.
Pregnant women and children are more sensitive to the risks of the x-ray.

Giants in the Mountains: The Search for Sasquatch
It doesn't matter if Sasquatch (Bigfoot) exists or not. People still think they are seeing something. The oral accounts and folklore around this topic makes for a rich historical topic to study. Assuming Bigfoot is never found, will not historians still be examining the accounts of people who though they saw one centuries from now? The Washington State Historical Society has a new exhibit up titled Giants in the Mountains: The Search for Sasquatch.
From the site:
Explore the Sasquatch mystery, set in the Pacific Northwest region said to be home to these ape-like creatures. The exhibit examines how scientists attempt to explain and investigate the Sasquatch phenomenon. It also looks at hoaxes and popular cultural interpretations of Bigfoot. A look at tribal legends and masks provide yet another insight into this elusive being.
This exploration of Sasquatch stories looks at the Pacific Northwest environment, which provides a rich setting for the folklore surrounding these unexplained creatures.
Physical evidence collected by anthropologist and famed Bigfoot researcher, Dr. Grover Krantz, and Discovery Channel expert and professor Dr. Jeffrey Meldrum of Idaho State University, are on display.

With all of the technology at our disposal, don't you think that someone would have found a sasquatch by now? If they do, I wonder if they will look like Chewbacca? Where do you think this legend comes from?
- Wicked Yankee said...
I love bigfoot stuff. In my area of Massachusetts there is a bigfoot legend from Hockomock Swamp, although I think they are supposed to be smaller. I've never seen one either way.
I did watch "Finding Bigfoot" though and I was annoyed because everything they seemed to see could be easily explained. I'm not sure if bigfoot exists, but I'd love it if they did. I keep joping for Orang Pendeck.
