IT sure is weird: Part 1
Sit at, say, an Ubuntu laptop. You are most likely running an X Windows based GUI. It is perfectly capable of doing client/server apps where the server side controls what appears on the screen, down to the pixel level, using the X network protocol. You are almost certainly not doing that however. You are most likely running a browser on top of X. It is most likely using HTML5 to do what the X system could do itself, namely, remote screen control from the server side.
IT sure is weird.

The network transparancy of X often seems to carry this idea that it was intended to be used over a network. In reality though, its design, whilest supporting that (admittedly pretty damn cool feature), was always primarily intended to be run locally. The split of X into a client/server architecture just allowed some really interesting things to happen.
Of course in todays world things have changed drastically. While in many was the graphics stack in Linux is still more performant than PresentationManager or whatever the windows display manager is called, it is showing its age.
Wayland (and to a lesser degree its less-popular step cousin Mir) are beginning to rethink the stack we're accustomed to. GTK (and by proxy Gnome, Gimp, LibreOffice, and other applications) already support Wayland. GTK also has some really interesting features including the ability to use an HTML5 backend(called Broadway) instead of X or Wayland. This means that you can actually launch applications like LibreOffice as a server and interact with them in your browser: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdqgSB9axZQ
We do indeed live in weird interesting times.

HTML5 is like broken English - the closest thing we have to a universal language.
Sure you might be a native Spanish speaker, and sure Spanish is wonderful lyrical language that sings in the ear of Spaniards, but not everyone speaks Spanish.
Since almost everyone speaks broken English, we're going to give instructions in broken English.
For the listener, decoding and translating English to a native language seems expensive, but it's probably cheaper than having the speaker learn all languages.

However, when this thesis was initiated, some aspects of this field were poorly characterized at the molecular level.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - If anyone should find it odd that a Japanese distillery was planning to merge with a U.S. bourbon brand steeped in the history of the American South, the answer could be found on a cocktail menu.
Suntory Pacific Ltd SUNTYA.UL won U.S. antitrust approval this month to buy Jim Beam, the No. 4 premium spirits company in the world, just as the liquor known as "America's whiskey" is enjoying a surge in U.S. interest — and sales.
Prices for bourbon, a type of whiskey distilled from at least 51 percent corn, have risen faster than inflation in the United States for years. Analysts believe prices will increase from 3 percent to 10 percent annually over the next three to five years.
This is partially because bourbon, which by law must be produced in the United States, must be aged typically for two to nine years but sometimes for longer. That makes a sudden ramping up of production impossible even if demand rises.
Higher corn prices in recent years raised production costs, although the impact varied depending on how companies sourced their supplies. Jim Beam's website says its bourbon is made of "at least 51 percent" corn, mixed with yeast and smaller amounts of barley, malt and rye.
Beverage industry analysts said Suntory's $16 billion deal for Beam Inc. BEAM.N won't by itself make pricing worse.
American consumers have lately regained interest in cocktails, translating to sales for spirits such as bourbon.
Bourbon makers sold 6.8 percent more in 2013 than in 2012 in the United States, with revenue jumping 10.2 percent to $2.4 billion, according to the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States. About 18 million 9-liter cases of bourbon were sold in 2013.
Premium and super-premium spirits saw the biggest increases. The most expensive bourbon, also the hardest to find, was Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve from Sazerac Co Inc. A 70-centiliter bottle of the 23-year-old Kentucky whiskey goes for $500 or more, and prices are higher on the secondary market.
Sales of cheaper spirits fell in 2013 but sales of high-end brands rose by 7.2 percent and sales of super-premium products rose by 6.3 percent, said the council.
Just as interest and sales of craft beer rose even when major breweries consolidated over the past decade, craft bourbon took off despite the rise of behemoth spirits distributors.
Though the term craft is associated with an artisanal touch, no legal definition exists and some bigger companies disagree that small whiskey makers take more care with their products. The American Craft Distillers Association, however, limits membership to distilleries that sell about 42,000 cases or fewer each year.
Craft bourbons, while maybe 1 percent of the market, give the drink a cachet that touches even a brand name like Jim Beam. Some of the better-known craft distilleries include Garrison Brothers in Texas; Prichard's in Tennessee, and Willett in Bardstown, Kentucky.
Beam's stable includes small-batch labels such as Knob Creek, Booker's and Basil Hayden's.
The growth in the number of distilleries came after years of little interest in whiskeys and bourbons that led dozens of producers to shut down, said Tom Fischer, host of an online television show and website, Bourbonblog.com.
"There about 400 to 500 craft distilleries that are on the map right now. We just see them popping up everywhere," said Fischer. "We're seeing it more and more with the cocktail culture. When I started this blog about 10 years ago, people were a little into bourbon and now they're crazy into bourbon. It's just going to grow."
Jim Beam as a brand began when corn farmer Jacob Beam distilled his first whiskey in 1795 in Bullitt County, Kentucky, where it is still made.
Beam Inc, its holding company, was part of Fortune Brands until 2011. The global vodka, tequila and whiskey powerhouse is headquartered near Chicago and is the second-biggest in sales in the United States.
Like Suntory, Beam grew largely by acquisition. In 2005, it bought Mexico's Sauza tequila company; Laphroaig single malt Scotch whisky; premium Kentucky bourbon Maker's Mark, and other liquor labels.
Suntory was founded in 1899 when store owner Shinjiro Torii decided to make wine. It has a large stable of alcoholic brands, among them the vivid-green, melon-flavored liqueur Midori.
Acquiring Beam would make Suntory the third-largest distiller globally, after Diageo Plc (DGE.L) of Britain and Pernod Ricard (PERP.PA) of France. The Suntory-Beam merger, which was announced in January, would give Suntory about 11 percent of the U.S. market, up from just one percent.
Suntory, which won U.S. approval for the deal on March 5, is awaiting approval from the European Union. The merger was expected to close in April.

97th Air Mobility Wing Public Affairs
7/8/2009 – ALTUS AIR FORCE BASE, Okla. — Staff Sgt. James Hall, 97th Security Forces kennel master, and his military working dog, Endy, were recent recipients of the Oklahoma State Chamber of Commerce Champions of Freedom award.
The two were recognized, along with six other military members throughout the state, for heroic actions while deployed overseas.

While deployed, Sergeant Hall and Endy recovered more than 800 pounds of explosives and weapons and uncovered three pressure plate improvised explosive devices buried in major roadways. The Oklahoma State Chamber of Commerce recognized Sergeant Hall and Endy with the Champions of Freedom award in Oklahoma City, Okla June 30. (Courtesy photo)
From October 2008 to April 2009, Sergeant Hall and Endy were deployed to a forward operating location in Afghanistan. Attached to the 7th and 3rd Special Forces Groups, Sergeant Hall and Endy participated in over 25 combat operations, recovering over 800 pounds in weapons and explosives. They also discovered three buried pressure plate improvised explosive devices, enabling convoys to safely traverse the country.
"We were in harm' s way almost 24/7," Sergeant Hall said. While his seven years of experience as a K-9 handler prepared him for the demanding assignment, Sergeant Hall says his partner is the one reason he returned home safely.
"He (Endy) saved my life repeatedly," Sergeant Hall explained, "I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him."
According to Sergeant Hall, the duo proved so effective during their deployment as a result of the rapport they developed in the months prior to leaving. Endy, who has been in the military working dog program since 2003, developed such a strong bond with Sergeant Hall that when one sensed danger the other was able to respond. Endy also went to nearby Fort Sill to train on flying in helicopters in preparation for the deployment.
While this was Endy's first deployment, the kennel here usually deploys four dogs every year. The dogs are trained for security patrols, clearing buildings and detecting drugs and explosives. The kennel currently houses seven dogs, two trained in detecting drugs and five used to detect explosives. The handlers also train rigorously in skills needed for security forces and K-9 handlers. For example, all handlers must be certified in K-9 self aid buddy care. This training proved useful to Sergeant Hall and Endy.
"We were out in the field, far away from any base, when Endy got caught in constantine wire. I got him out of the wire but he was sliced up pretty bad and I had to sew up his wounds right there," Sergeant Hall said.
One of the more demanding tasks Sergeant Hall encountered upon his arrival to Afghanistan was assimilating into a Total Force unit environment. The unit was largely comprised of Army personnel, requiring Sergeant Hall and his counterparts to adapt to one another to develop cohesion.
"I had to tell them my capabilities so we could lay out how we were going to work together," he explained. "It took a while for them to get to know me, to know that I would have their back." Ultimately, it was Endy who broke the ice between Sergeant Hall and the other members of the unit.
"When we found an IED, the walls came down," Sergeant Hall said with a grin.
While he has received several awards for his actions in Afghanistan, including the Afghanistan Campaign Medal, the NATO Medal and the Army Combat Action Badge, Sergeant Hall said this award was something special.
"The state of Oklahoma really supports the military," he said. "I believe everyone over there and here stateside deserves that kind of recognition."

Lifting A Regular Chevy 4x4Posted in How To: Suspension Brakes on January 1, 2012
Modern GM trucks have just about everything a guy could ask for: a powerful V-8, plenty of payload capacity, and a ton of room for gear. There's just one thing the General keeps overlooking: a decent ride height. It's almost as though the Bow Tie makers think we are shrinking! Fortunately, where the factory drops off, the aftermarket picks up quickly.
Take Zone Offroad Products for example. Zone understands that not everyone needs a 6-inch lift, but many truck buyers often want a little more clearance under their 4x4. To satisfy the lift cravings of GM owners, Zone has launched a complete 2-inch lift for '07-'11 Chevy/GMC 1500 4x4 trucks.
This easy-to-install lift doesn't require any special tools or tricks of the trade.
In just a few hours your late-model GM can have a taller stance without deterring the factory ride quality.
With our '08 Chevy 1500 in need of a boost and a new set of treads, we went ahead and made the upgrade with Zone's 2-inch kit. This gave the quad-cab Chevy more room for 33-inch-tall Falken WildPeak A/T tires. And unlike a traditional leveling kit, this system raised the rear of the truck as well. The result netted us the aggressive stance that we were looking for and gave us that extra bit of lift that sometimes is the difference between driving through or shoveling out.

Never let it be said that the students, staff and parents of Tyro Elementary School would shy away from a challenge; quite the contrary.
Never let it be said that the students, staff and parents of Tyro Elementary School would shy away from a challenge; quite the contrary.
Two weeks ago Principal Leah Leonard declared March 18-22 ACC week at the school. She encouraged teachers and staff to discuss the many schools involved in the ACC tournament, sharing with their classes requirements for enrollment, histories of the schools and costs for continuing their educations beyond high school.
Lessons were learning throughout the week with students taking part in a variety of activities. In addition to the educational values learned, Leonard chose this as an opportunity to involve the Tyro Elementary School students in a service project that would benefit the West Davidson Food Pantry. Her challenge to the students was to bring a canned food item and if they choose, put their favorite ACC team's name on the cans.
The hope was to have 100 cans collected per class. By the time it came to count on Friday, it was apparent that the students far exceeded her expectations. A total of 2,448 cans were collected. The final tally for the ACC teams were Boston College 1, Florida State 3, Georgia Tech 13, Clemson 28, N.C. State 442, Duke 446 and UNC 1,416. Ninety-nine cans were donated and designated with other favorite teams. Classes collecting the most cans were Mrs. Fulbright 103, Ms. Poole 108, Mrs. Darr, 111, Mrs. Griffith 129, Ms. Harb 180, Mrs. DeRemer 202 Ms. Newsome 270, Mrs. Trogdon 328 cans and Mrs. Baity 332 cans.
The students gathered on Friday to celebrate their accomplishment, donning their favorite school colors and teams. Not only was this a fun, educational week for the students, but they were able to share with others less fortunate by making this donations to the food pantry. Leonard has promised a special treat for the classes that met or surpassed the 100 can mark. A huge Tyro Bear growl goes out to all who helped make this a huge success.

Since those days, Diamond has been in and out of various markets (and under various company names), and today they are staging a come-back in the PC hardware market with a full line-up of graphics, sound cards, and other PC accessories.
Today we are looking at Diamond Multimedia's latest audio offering, the Diamond Xtreme Sound 7.1 with Dolby Digital Live (hereafter "DDL" or "Live"). In this article we are going to compare Xtreme Sound 7.1 against other audio solutions on the market: Creative Labs' Sound Blaster X-Fi and Audigy 2ZS, Chaintech V710 (VIA Envy24), and the integrated Realtek ALC850 audio on the EPoX EP-9NPA+ SLI motherboard.
The price is alluring, but how does it perform and sound?

|I discovered the world of Tolkien after the first movie was released (I know, I know...somehow, for some reason I just never picked up the book and I think that is a tragedy as C.S. Lewis is one of my favorite authors!) and have not put it down since. I went from devouring THE LORD OF THE RINGS to reading each and every book written by Tolkien I could find (some of which I am working my way through for the second time). I teach in an elementary school in a small southeast Texas town north of Houston, and would like nothing better than to know that I somehow instilled in my classes a love of reading and perhaps later, writing. Lord knows they see me doing it all the time! I believe one of my happiest discoveries was the Stories of Arda site and its wonderful readers/authors! I am relatively new to the writing aspect of LotR, but I am enjoying it immensely!

Expert skiers and snowboarders who'd like to take on the steeps in Huckleberry Canyon at the Sierra-at-Tahoe Resort off Highway 50 near South Lake Tahoe now have a guided snowcat option.
Instead of hiking to reach the terrain beyond the lift-served areas, the bold can ride in a heated snowcat to access untouched powder in 320 acres of open bowls and gladed tree runs, as well as descents through rock chutes and drops over cornices and (yikes!) cliffs.
This terrain has long been praised by Tahoe locals as some of the best and most accessible backcountry in the region. It is now within the Sierra-at-Tahoe boundary and can be reached through backcountry gates off the Grandview Express chairlift. This challenging terrain is for experts only.
Starting at $79 a person, each snowcat tour includes a guide who will teach participants about backcountry safety and the proper use of avalanche equipment. A shovel, probe, avalanche beacon and backpack are provided, as well as lunch. A Sierra snowcat can hold up to 10 people or can be rented for private tours by groups of five or more. A resort season pass or lift ticket is required.

Special Chicharon Bulaklak. The chicharon bulaklak is made up of pig mesentery, the fatty tissue that hold together the pig's small intestines. Usually for economics reason the small intestines are separated from the mesentery to make two types of chicharons, Chicharon Bulaklak using the mesentery and Chicharon Bituka using the small intestines.
For today's Special Chicharon Bulaklak I did not bothered to separate the intestines from the mesentery this makes this Chicharon Bulaklak special. Anyway it would be also difficult to buy the mesentery separately from the intestines.
To make the dish the pig innards are pre-boiled till tender with Pinoy aromatic ingredients. For best results I used an electric deep fryer, this is also safer and easier compared to using a deep frying pan or wok. But again if you do not have the convenience of an electric deep fryer you can use the conventional deep fryer just be very careful as there will be a lot of hot oil splashing.
1 1/2 Kilo pork small intestine with mesentery intact
2-3 pcs bay leaves
1 tbsp peppercorns
1 head garlic crushed
cooking oil
Cooking procedure:
To Clean, Cut the pork intestine/mesentery into manageable sizes. Using a thin sharp knife,make a slit along the outer radius of the small intestine. Wash each pork intestine/mesentery thoroughly with running water. Scrubbing off all solid matter inside the intestines. Do this several time until all the solid particles are removed.
To Pre-boil, put the pork intestine/mesentery in a large sauce pan, pour in water about 2 inches above the intestines. Add in the bay leaf, peppercorns and 1 to 2 tbsp. of salt. Let boil and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes or until tender. Remove the pork intestine/mesentery from the pan and let drain, discard the boiling liquid and other residue. eep refrigerated for several hours to chill or until ready to fry.
To Deep Fry, Cut the pork intestine/mesentery to desired size and evenly season with salt. Add oil on the deep fryer at recommended level. Pre-heat the deep fryer to 200°C or to the highest setting. Now deep fry the pork intestine/mesentery in batches. Expect the oil splashing so replace the deep fryer lid immediately. Deep fry for 3 to 5 minutes or until the vigorous oil splashing has stopped turn over the pork intestine/mesentery. Continue to deep fry until the intestines/ mesentery color has changed into a nice golden. When done remove from the deep fryer and drain oil in a plater lined with paper kitchen towel. Alternately heat generous amount of oil in a deep frying pan. Deep fry for 3 to 5 minutes in batches or until color change to golden brown and crisp, drain excess oil in a kitchen paper towels.
To Serve, serve with vinegar garlic chili dip.

We scored as correct the following choice:
DECLARE l_filter VARCHAR2 (100) := 'M%'; CURSOR parts_cur (filter_in IN OUT VARCHAR2) IS SELECT * FROM plch_parts WHERE partname LIKE filter_in ORDER BY partnum; l_part plch_parts%ROWTYPE; BEGIN OPEN parts_cur (l_filter); LOOP FETCH parts_cur INTO l_part; EXIT WHEN parts_cur%NOTFOUND; sys.DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line (l_part.partnum); END LOOP; CLOSE parts_cur; END;even though Oracle documentation specifies that a cursor parameter may only be of mode IN (not IN OUT).
As we noted in the answer: "This choice specifies IN OUT for the mode. Oracle documentation only shows the use of the IN mode, but Oracle doesn't complain about IN OUT, and it certainly doesn't change the value of the variable."
A player wrote with this complaint:
This choice was not supposed to work, both by Oracle PL/SQL Documentation below: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e17126/static.htm#CIHFAHFE http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e17126/explicit_cursor.htm#i33637 ( the railroad schema explicitly shows IN parameter mode as the only legal one ). and also even more explicitly by what is stated in your book: PL/SQL Programming 5-th edition, Chapter15, Working With Explicit Cursor, Cursor Parameter Modes, page.491-492, where it is clearly stated that: "You cannot specify OUT or IN OUT modes for cursor parameters". This being said and completely logic, it is however strange that both choices [6938] and [6939] do compile without error! Regarding choice 6938, since it also returns the expected result ( !!! ). I think that this choice should be rescored for ALL players and considered as INCORRECT. The same is in fact required for choice 6939, but that one is incorrect anyway (it does not display the expected output), but in principle is as wrong as the previous one. I am pretty sure that many players will raise the same objection. This is not a feature not specified in the documentation, as we have encountered some in our quizzes, but clearly a behavior that contradicts the documented (and logical) one.
And my response: first, it sure is a drag when someone quotes your own book at you! :-) And in fact what this player has pointed out is a bug in my book. In fact, you can specify OUT or IN OUT. Oracle does not stop you from doing this; the documentation simply does not indicate that it is accepted by the compiler. So I will fix that in my book.
Second, if the only correct choice in this quiz was the IN OUT parameter (and it was a "one choice correct only" question), then you should all be upset with me; that would be a "trick question." It is, however, just one of several correct choices. So, yes, you are "penalized" if you simply checked the documentation and answered according to it, rather than actually trying it out before you submitted your answer. But now you also know this is possible and it may be something you look out for in your code - that is, it may be "lurking" in your code and should be removed.
And that is part of the point of the PL/SQL Challenge - to extend your awareness of the day-to-day realities of the language. In conclusion, I do not believe a re-scoring is in order.

Styrofoam recycling
Most attempts to recycle styrofoam don't work very well. Styrofoam is cheap to produce. The standard method of recycling -- grinding up the styrofoam, heating it, and reforming it into blocks -- makes low quality styrofoam. But I was impressed when I came across this paper (pdf) from Sony. It's a clever method of melting the styrofoam, storing it efficiently, then extracting the raw material. All with non-toxic solvents. Sounds like a great solution.
Update: Seven years later, a styrofoam recycling facility has opened near Seattle.
4 comments:
This is being done in Arkansas by a company called Advanced Enviromental Technologies and they are using a much better process than Sony while reusing the polymer in roads and other products.

This PDF appears to have been created before 2000. Has there been a practical application of this technology yet?
Further, why not use corn-based packing materials rather than mess with creating styrofoam in the first place?
- August 16, 2007 at 8:53 AM
Pshhh...using corn is bad for the ...global economy! we can't afford to expand into corn too much until we develop new farming techniques to deal with the increased demand for food!

Blue Earth Solutions recycles large amounts of Styrofoam. They have a patented solution that breaks it down to its original form to produce Polystyrene pellets. The Pellets are then resold to Plastics manufactures.

The Hyundai Elantra is an award-winning and affordable compact sedan with many features for the price—rather impressive considering the inauspicious start to its production life in the early 1990s. The Elantra had a bad reputation and sold poorly. Its many problems included its overall shoddiness and unreliability.
Over its life, this unremarkable vehicle morphed into a car of the year winner by greatly improving reliability and production quality. It boasts an impressive list of standard features for the price. Performance and styling gain recognition, and it responds and handles well. It provides a comfortable, smooth ride and roomy cabin, especially given its class.
Small complaints include high road noise and the impression that the small engine whines and works rather hard. Older versions do not have anti-lock brakes, despite their popularity as a standard feature at the time. Compared to the long list of positives, though, it's easy to see how this vehicle wins awards.
For buyers who need a great car on a tight budget, it's hard to beat the Elantra. Not bad for a compact that many thought wouldn't survive its bumpy start.
The distinctive and sporty shape of the Elantra alludes to a coupe even though it classifies as a sedan. The exterior styling has won much praise. The Elantra Touring represents the related four-door hatchback, while the standard Elantra is a compact sedan.
The two trims include the GLS and Limited. The rather basic GLS comes with 15-inch wheels, heated side mirrors, and little else of note on the outside. The Limited upgrades to 17-inch alloy wheels and adds a power sunroof. A rearview camera can be added as an option, along with automatic headlights.
Both trims contain a 1.8-liter, inline-four engine rated at 148 horsepower and 131 lb-ft of torque. GLS models have a six-speed manual transmission with a six-speed automatic as an option. The automatic transmission comes standard on the Limited. All Elantras have front drive only.
Anti-lock brakes and an electronic stability control system add to the surprising amount of bang for your buck the Elantra has to offer. For a car in this price category, Hyundai has put just about everything it reasonably can into this model.
On the inside, the Elantra once again exceeds expectations for an economically priced compact sedan. The look, feel, and quality of the materials may not be the absolute best in the class, but they are impressive for the cost. The base package GLS still has power accessories and a six-speaker audio system with an iPod/USB interface. Options include air-conditioning, cruise control, and Bluetooth. The Limited adds leather upholstery and heated front and rear seats as standard equipment, with optional keyless ignition/entry, a navigation system, and a premium audio system.
As mentioned earlier, the cabin lets in enough road noise to remind the buyer of its budget compact classification. Other than that small point, the interior is rather nice with 60/40-split folding seats and plenty of room with comfortable seating. Standard equipment also includes a trip computer and 14.8 cubic feet of trunk space. A tire pressure monitoring system also provides an unexpected luxury at this price point.
Certainly the Elantra does not focus on performance. Compact sedans aim to get a driver and passengers around with some comfort and economy. The model handles well enough for easy and safe driving. The list of safety components makes anyone inside this car feel like he doesn't have anything out of the ordinary to worry about.
The acceleration and power are not that impressive, but they remain adequate and comparable to the competition. This vehicle's willingness to handle curves and provide some bit of handling also pleases buyers.
The Elantra excels in terms of fuel economy, with impressive ratings for a five-passenger non-hybrid. Rated at 28/40 mpg city/highway, these numbers add to the cost-conscious nature of this affordable compact sedan.
2012 automatic transmission models have a new Active Eco System designed to improve gas mileage by up to seven percent by smoothing throttle response. The horn has an improved sound and the new steering calibration creates a better straight-line feel. The 2012 model also offers a roadside assistance kit as an option.
The first model of the Hyundai Elantra saw production from 1992 to 1995. The early Elantras are poorly made and should probably be avoided, despite their low price. The second generation, from 1996 to 2000, doesn't improve much, but it does see an increase in power with a 1.8-liter, four-cylinder engine capable of 130 hp and 122 lb-ft of torque. The third generation, from 2001 to 2006, takes a considerable step up from previous models. It offers more interior space, and a new design gives it a more upscale look. Reliability and quality also improve greatly.
In 2007, Hyundai offered two main trim levels: GLS and SE. The GLS comes reasonably well-equipped. The SE has some additional features and a sport-tuned suspension. The fourth generation Elantra, produced from 2007 to 2010, establishes the Elantra as a legitimate contender in its class with improved styling, handling, and ride quality. The fifth generation debuted in the 2011 model year with only minor changes.

The Elantra enters 2012 with a few tweaks. New features for 2012 include a dual-shell horn for improved sound, steering calibration, and an optional roadside assistance kit. There are also three new color choices: Shimmering White, Midnight Black, and Indigo Night. The GLS Preferred Package now includes fog lights and a passenger side-sun visor extension.
2011 Hyundai Elantra
While the present Elantra and Elantra Touring are similarly styled, a new Elantra sedan is coming early in 2011. The new Elantra, a version of which was unveiled in Korea earlier this year, looks a lot like a small Sonata and will come with new powertrain options. In the meantime, the Elantra Touring gets minor styling changes, including new colors and the availability of leather.

The newest version of Swype, the text input software for android, includes dictation software which lets you to dictate text directly into any text field on android.
Though there are still some issues with it recognizing my German accent, it already works very well and better than the standard Google text input software, especially in German. The newest version is available only for android ice cream sandwich (4.0), but it's completely free of charge - you can download it from beta.swype.com.

The only downside so far is that you may not change its privacy settings to stop it from posting information about your usage to the Corporation. But then of course the voice recognition works anyway by encoding the audio data from your voice into packets which are sent to the cloud and processed by servers there. This has been dictated to the dictation software with swype. This last sentence has been dictated with google's speech recognition which is also very good. Also it's much faster and supports selecting alternative results based on the speech input and similar sounds, not just on similar spelling as the dictation support in the current beta of Swype. But neither version works without internet support.

Is there any reason for having Micro 4/3 lenses on large-body cameras? (SLR-style bodies) Aside from the benefit of smaller size...
I've owned a GH1 for a few months now, and can't figure out what use there was for putting Micro 4/3 on this cam. I see a whole list of performance drawbacks that small lenses come with, and the smaller bulk isn't what I'm thinking about when shopping for a larger-body cam like this.
I completely understand Micro 4/3 on small-body cameras. Sure, the GH1 isn't quite as big as other entry-level D-SLR's, but I would NOT buy one again just for the slightly smaller size. I thought I understood Micro 4/3 before buying this, but I never came across a list of its serious drawbacks vs. larger lenses.
I hope I'm just missing something. Any insight?
(or let me just ask this question: Aside from less bulk, why should someone want the Micro 4/3 system on a larger-body camera?)

Mack, The (MacKenzie Theatre)
Saturday, September 01, 2018, 08:00pm
The "Prime Minister of the Blues" lived a life of late nights and smoky clubs, pursuing the blues. The Confederation Centre of the Arts' On the Road with Dutch Mason tells the story of this artist through the eyes of his band's fill-in musician, David Bedford.
"For all of the blues musicians in the Maritimes, the highlight of their musical career was to play Dutch Mason," said Bedford.
Norman "Dutch" Mason was born in 1938 in Lunenberg, Nova Scotia, but was raised in Kentville. The singer, pianist, and guitarist was turned to the blues by his idol B.B. King. He played in bars across Nova Scotia and later toured Canada. The blues musician was nominated for both East Coast Music Awards and a JUNO Award. He was inducted into the Canadian Jazz and Blues Hall of Fame, and in 2005, he became a Member of the Order of Canada.
His tough, urban blues style reflected the way he lived. But his life of touring smoke-filled clubs came at the cost of broken marriages, fractured friendships, and haunting demons. It's into this tumultuous life that David Bedford, a political science professor and amateur harp player, was thrown into when he replaced the regular harmonica player while on tour.
"For anyone playing blues, you could say I'm playing with Dutch Mason. This is it. I've made it," said Bedford. "You made it once you got into the car and toured with Dutch."
The Confederation Centre's original production is based on Bedford and Harvey Sawler's book On the Road with Dutch Mason. Bedford has been working with the cast of the Confederation Centre's musical team this past June; namely, with the actor who plays him, Cameron MacDuffee.
"To see someone playing me on stage, I never expected to experience that in my life and it takes a certain level of course it is me" said Bedford. "But in some sense it is Wade Lynch's [the creator's] character and also very importantly it is Cameron MacDuffee's and Mary Francis' [the Director's] character too."
This production ties Dutch Mason's story together with music and storytelling. Take in the world premiere of the Confederation Centre's musical starting on June 30 until September 22 at the Mack in Charlottetown this summer.

College student from Ridgefield dies in crash
RIDGEFIELD -- A 22-year-old college student from Ridgefield died after an apparent wrong-way crash Friday morning on Interstate 95 in New Jersey.
Police told NJ.com that Erin Vick, a nursing student at the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., was driving one of two vehicles that collided head on in Kearny, N.J., about 12:35 a.m.
Vick, who was driving a sport utility vehicle, and Moises Rivera, 32, of Clifton, N.J., the driver of a Dodge van, were killed in the crash.
According to the NorthJersey.com report, police said one of the vehicles was driving the wrong way on the northbound side of the highway near Exit 15 East.
Police are still investigating the crash and haven't determined which driver was at fault.
A passenger in Vick's Ford Escape, Christian Pierce, 20, of Tennessee, was seriously injured and underwent surgery Saturday, according to NorthJersey.com.
Vick graduated in 2009 from Ridgefield High School and was in her senior year at Catholic, a school of about 3,500 undergraduate students in the nation's capital, according to her obituary.
She was born in Illinois and moved to Ridgefield with her parents in 1996, when she was 6.
Vick was a volunteer in various outreach programs and recently returned from a medical mission trip to Nicaragua with fellow Catholic University nursing students.
She also raised money for autism awareness, was active in March for Life, and worked as a patient-care attendant at Stamford Hospital, according to the obituary.
John Garvey, the president of Catholic University, issued a statement to NJ.com expressing sympathy to Vick's family and friends.
"As we mourn the loss of Erin, let us remember her as a beloved member of the Catholic University community," Garvey said. "As a community of faith, we find comfort in the love of our Lord and the knowledge that our faith supports us in difficult times like these."
A wake will be held at Kane Funeral Home, 25 Catoonah St., Ridgefield, on Tuesday from 4 to 8 p.m.
Vick's funeral will be Wednesday at 10:15 a.m. in St. Mary Church, 55 Catoonah St., Ridgefield.
New Jersey State Police have asked anyone who witnessed the crash to call investigators at 973-344-1099, ext. 1401.

For more than a decade, wind developers have been notified by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) that their wind projects may kill birds and, therefore, violate the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA).
However, research conducted at a sampling of more than 140 communication towers owned and operated by the Michigan Public Safety Communication System (MPSCS) shows that several state and federal agencies – including the FWS and U.S. Forest Service – are violating the MBTA on a regular basis.
Funded by the Michigan Attorney General's office and the Michigan State Police, Curry & Kerlinger conducted research over a three-year period. The results show that more than 11,000 birds, mostly night-migrating songbirds, were killed annually at 143 communication towers owned and operated by the MPSCS during the spring and fall migration seasons between 2003 and 2005.
The MPSCS towers, both with and without guy wires, are 380 feet to 485 feet tall – similar in height to modern wind turbines. The guyed towers were shown to kill about 100 migrants per year.
For perspective, this number is similar in magnitude to the number of night migrant fatalities at about 20 wind turbines. In other words, night migrant fatalities at one or two guyed public safety communication towers are equivalent to the number of night migrants killed at one or two small wind farms.
Even more interesting about the MPSCS towers is that they are also used by agencies that are entrusted with protecting birds. Both the FWS and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources are listed as members of the MPSCS and use the towers as part of their agency communications.
The MPSCS fatality estimates made by Curry & Kerlinger do not include birds killed during the non-migration seasons, so the estimate of 11,000 birds killed by these towers per year is undoubtedly less than the annual total.
Various other state and federal agencies, such as the U.S. Forest Service, also use these towers, and each tower has been licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) through the National Environmental Policy Act process.
And Michigan is not the only state encountering this problem. For example, in Ohio, the Multi-Agency Radio Communication System (MARCS) has about 250 towers, some of which are taller than 500 feet and have guy wires.
These towers are also used by the FWS, as well as by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources – the state agency entrusted with protecting birds. Using the same methodology of the Curry & Kerlinger studies in Michigan, it is possible that the MARCS towers kill about 15,000 migrating birds – perhaps more – per year in Ohio.
Most states already have public safety systems that have thousands of towers, many of which will be used by federal and state wildlife agencies. Together, these towers likely kill more than 100,000 migrants per year and perhaps more than are currently killed by wind turbines.
Other publicly funded towers are also likely to kill birds. Hundreds of public radio and television towers broadcast signals across the U.S., and some are taller than public safety towers.
Unfortunately, it is purely speculative to say how many birds are killed by public broadcasting towers because such towers have never been thoroughly scrutinized by the wildlife agencies.
It is also interesting that in the 13 years since the FWS released its interim wildlife guidelines for siting and building communication towers, it is likely that more than 1,000 public communication towers have been erected in the U.S.
To date, Curry & Kerlinger's study in Michigan appears to be the only one conducted at publicly owned or funded towers, despite the fact that fatalities at communication towers have been reported hundreds of times since the 1940s.
Overall, 6.7 million birds per year are estimated to be killed at public and private communication towers in the U.S., yet no pre- or post-construction studies are required as part of the federal licensing of towers.
Now that peer-reviewed and reliable estimates of fatalities at publicly owned and funded towers are available and show that large numbers of birds are killed at these facilities, it will be interesting to see if federal and state agencies are subject to the same laws and standards as the wind industry or if they are exempt from those laws.

Thunderbird and Junk / Spam Messages

Revision Source
Revision Content
To deal with the large amount of unsolicited email ("spam" or "junk mail") that most people have to cope with, Thunderbird uses an adaptive filter that learns from your actions which messages are legitimate and which are junk.
Table of Contents
Junk filter options
General settings
The filter is enabled by default. You can set system-wide preferences that determine what happens to messages marked as junk. These settings will be used by all your email accounts (although some settings can be overridden in the account settings, as shown below). To access the preferences, click, select the panel and then select the tab.
Per account settings
The configuration in the account preferences for each of your email accounts will override similar settings in the preferences described above. Clickand select in the left pane for the account to see these settings. This section includes the ability to enable addressbooks which will be used as a whitelist. If the sender of a message is a contact in an addressbook that has been enabled for whitelist, then that message will not be marked as junk.
Training the junk filter
Tell Thunderbird what is junk
In order for this filter to be effective, you must train it to recognize the messages that you consider to be junk and the messages that you consider to be not junk. So you will want to mark messages as junk, not delete them.
You can mark messages as junk by clicking in the "junk" column in the message list:
You can also mark messages as junk in the message pane by clicking thebutton on the message header:
You can also use the small case j key to mark messages as junk.
You will need to train many messages so that the adaptive filter has enough data, including messages that are NOT junk. (more about that below)
Tell Thunderbird what is NOT junk
It as just as important to tell the filter what messages are not junk.
First, during the early learning stages you will want to frequently, perhaps daily, check your Junk folder for messages that have been incorrectly classified as junk by clicking on the J on your keyboard. After the first week you should also check the junk folder for messages that are incorrectly marked as junk, perhaps weekly.button, or using the upper case
Secondly, very important, you will want to continuously train the filter by marking a quantity of good messages as not junk, for example messages in your Inbox. You must use the keyboard upper case J, because the "Not Junk" button appears only for messages that have already been classified as junk. Marking several messages per week will be sufficient.

Many of us have cooked meat in a hot pan lightly covered in olive oil and then deglazed the pan with either a rich beef or chicken stock or our favorite white or red wine. This classic French sauté method is credited to Pierre Franey, whose series of "60-Minute Gourmet" cookbooks taught a generation of Americans about the versatility and speed of this classic technique.
Grits are a staple of the Southern breakfast. For those unfamiliar with them, grits are nothing more than coarsely ground, dried corn. If you grind it a little finer, you have the Italian staple, polenta…grind it finer yet, and you have corn meal.
I've heard that some places like to combine grits with hominy, which is soaked in lye. Why would you want to soak food in lye, and then actually eat it?
Grits are a staple of the Southern breakfast. For those unfamiliar with them, grits are nothing more than coarsely ground, dried corn. If you grind it a little finer, you have the Italian staple, polenta … grind it finer yet, and you have corn meal.
If there's one food that really captures the essence of summer, it's salad. Ripe produce are overflowing from our gardens, and when fruits and vegetables are at the peak of their season, there's no need to do anything fancy with them.
Do you know what the most popular, edible pod bean is in this country? It's green beans, otherwise known as snap or string bean. Not only are green beans a popular home-garden vegetable, they are also plentiful at our local farm markets and produce stands during this warm season.
I remember my aunt pulling the "string" on these beans, noticeable when you snapped off the ends. The "snapping" noise is the reason for its other nickname.
Every morning, millions of Americans reach for their cup of joe in order to start the morning off right. We seem to have coffeehouses on every corner offering specialty brews for this tasty, eye-opening beverage.
Now, we even drink it during the day. Iced coffee seems to be catching on quite a bit.
Swiss chard is available year round but is best in summer
Chard is often referred to as Swiss chard because of its extensive cultivation in Switzerland. As a member of the beet family, it has also been referred to as silver beet, spinach beet, leaf beet, sea kale beet, white beet, strawberry spinach and even Roman kale.
In our area, the two main types available are red chard and green chard. The red, which has a stronger flavor, has red stems and dark green leaves with red veins. The green has lighter green leaves with white stalks.
There is a right way and a wrong way to peel shrimp. Boiled or uncooked, if you're going to eat shrimp, you need to know the best way to peel them.
Remember when picnics used to be the norm? Well, maybe if you're too young to remember, many picnics used to be communal. Barn raisings and other types of rural work were frequently followed by dances and outdoor meals. Many small towns in the Midwest had a small public park, usually in the center of town, where they frequently hosted dances, bands, socials and picnics.
All chefs learn about it early in their training; they also know it as the browning reaction.
If you are planning to make a full-flavored French stew, known as either beef bourguignon or beef in burgundy, your first instructions are to brown the meat, a messy and time-consuming step. You may choose to ignore this step and just dump the raw beef chunks into the stewing liquid. This shortcut may save you time, but the flavors enhanced by the browning reaction will never be activated. Your great French stew will likely taste flat and lifeless.

I'm looking for something friendly, nothing too corporate. Bonus points for simplicity. Please keep the font clear and legible.

text: In one of the most unnatural and nonsensical exercises in cross-branding, well, ever, Kool-Aid has teamed up with Reebok to create Kool-Aid scented shoes. Yes, now your feet can smeel like grape, cherry or strawberry rather than like sweaty death like they do now. Apparently, they went on sale at the start of the month, although I can't imagine anyone actually buying them. Seriously, someone explain this to me, because I'm having a lot of trouble wrapping my head around this one. [Styledash via Book of Joe]

Top Education at On Rite Conference 2014
It is not easy to cut wigs properly. Creating seamless layers, a natural fall or even consistency can proof to be a Herculean task to even the most accomplished cutter.
Three time world hairstyling champion Raphael Perrier appreciates the difficulty. He has won awards for his cutting and styling expertise, and has learned to apply the skills used on models to wigs, both human hair and synthetic.
MODERN caught up with Perrier at the 2014 On Rite Conference held recently in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. More than 300 wig specialists were in attendance, eager to learn new techniques to perfect the latest wig designs from any of the On Rite family of wigs (including TressAllure and GemTress).
Learn 2 of Perrier's most important techniques including texturizing and balance.
