|The Glass Bead Game
Hermann Hesse
Final novel by Hermann Hesse, published in two volumes in 1943 in German as Das Glasperlenspiel, and sometimes translated as Magister Ludi. The book is an intricate bildungsroman about humanity's eternal quest for enlightenment and for synthesis of the intellectual and the participatory life. Set in the 23rd century, the novel purports to be a biography of Josef Knecht ("servant" in German), who has been reared in Castalia, the remote place his society has provided for the intellectual elite to grow and flourish. Since childhood, Knecht has been consumed with mastering the Glass Bead Game, which requires a synthesis of aesthetics and scientific arts, such as mathematics, music, logic, and philosophy. This he achieves in adulthood, becoming a Magister Ludi (Master of the Game). Synopsis: Setting his story in the distant, post-Holocaust future, Hesse tells of an elite cult of intellectuals occupying themselves with an elaborate game that employs all the cultural and scientific knowledge of the ages. The most imaginative and prophetic of Hesse's works. A Masterpiece! QUALITY PAPERBACK EDITION

|And Suddenly the Inventor Appeared: TRIZ, the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving.
G. Altshuller (H. Altov) Translated by Lev Shulyak.
1990. 171P. This legendary book was first published in English in 1990. It is Altshuller's most popular book in Russia on how to become an inventor and how to solve technical problems. Originally written for high school students, it engages readers of all ages by inviting them to learn by doing. The translator, Lev Shulyak, is himself an accomplished inventor, engineer and TRIZ expert. About the Author: Genrich Altshuller received his first Soviet patent at the age of 14. While in his early 20s, he began developing TRIZ, the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving. Stalin rewarded him with 25 years imprisonment in Siberia. Released after Stalin's death, he led the underground TRIZ revolution, a fundamental shift in the technical creativity paradigm. Altshuller spent the remainder of his life working to advance what has become the science of TRIZ. He died in 1998. The similarity between many of these techniques and Vedic Mathematics is striking, particularly considering that both authors developed their systems around the same time period.

In the Tub with Tabby
While many cats aren't big fans of swimming or bathing, it's a myth that all cats have an aversion to water. Many are fascinated by it. "Some will play in water, splash around with their paws or drink directly out of the faucet or toilet if given the opportunity," says Kirsten H. Jeffers, DVM, a senior veterinarian at the Animal Medical Center in Orland Park, Ill. In fact, tigers, one of the largest members of the cat family, actually swim in rivers and lakes in the wild.
While domestic cats will usually avoid deep bodies of water, many like to play in the shower or bathtub when their owners are done. Still others can swim in shallow pools if they've received training. There is no need for your cat to become an Olympic swimmer, but getting your cat used to water can help if you need to bathe your kitty due to severe flea infestation, pet dander problems or for other reasons when your vet may feel that a nice, warm bath for your feline is in order. Here are seven tips to help your cat become a little more water-friendly.
Start young Ideally, you'll want to get your cat into the water when it's a kitten. By familiarizing your cat with water at a young age, you'll have better success as your pet ages. "If the cat is introduced to the bathing process as a kitten, the whole experience can, and will be, better," says Dr. Jeffers.
Never force water on your cat If you have a full-grown cat, introduce it to water slowly and gently. "Try letting a trickle of water run in a sink and see if your cat plays with it or drinks from it," suggests Dr. Jeffers. "Never force the cat near the water if it appears to be frightened. Let the cat approach it at its own pace. Forcing the cat can result in injury to yourself or to the cat, which may bite you out of fear."
Add rewards If your cat remains hesitant about being bathed, break the bath-time process down into small steps, says Suzanne Hetts, Ph.D., a certified applied animal behaviorist in Denver, Colorado. To start, rub the cat with a damp towel with one hand. In your other hand, place some cat food. The cat will associate the feeling of skin dampness with a treat and it will be more apt to try it again.
Try placing your cat in an empty bathtub Next, pick the cat up and allow it to eat from a bowl of tuna placed next to the tub. Pet the cat repeatedly. "Owners should brainstorm ways to make the bath experience more comfortable to the cat," says Hetts. "The idea is to expose the cat in a gradual way instead of running water in a bath and having it yowl and scratch at you."
When in doubt, add medication If your cat can't stand the water, yet your veterinarian recommends that you bathe your pet for medical purposes, consider asking your vet for a short-acting anxiety medication to help make the process go more smoothly. "If you have to do repeated baths, they'll get progressively worse if the cat hates the water," says Hetts.
Be safe in the pool Cats should always be supervised when they are near bodies of water, even a slightly full bathtub. If you have a backyard pool and your cat could access it, however, constant supervision may not always be possible. As a safeguard, consider getting a pool alarm. This safety device consists of a speaker-like base station and a lightweight pet collar that your cat can wear. When the collar gets wet, the base sounds an alarm. Hetts concludes, "No matter what, it's up to you to make sure your cat's safety is guaranteed."

What Cocktail Trends Will We See in 2012?
I was recently in a bar (naturally) talking cocktails with a bartender friend, and thinking back on the best drinks I'd had in 2011. Had there been some thread that tied them all together? What were the big trends in drinks over the past year?
This year, we saw quite a few barrel-aged cocktails à la Jeffrey Morgenthaler—the method has spread to Chicago and San Francisco, Boston and New York, and we even got instructions on how to make our own in the handy mini-barrel that comes as part of Woodinville's Age Your Own Whiskey kit. (While we're talking age-your-own whiskey, unaged whiskey, or white dog, seems to be appearing on lots of cocktail menus as well.)
2011's cocktails emphasized amari and bitters, and that will likely continue. In Portland, it seems every bar has a Becherovka machine—that's something we haven't seen much in NYC yet. There will be more Ramazzotti, more Cynar, more Zucca, and more Cardamaro. And yes, there will be more house-made bitters and house-infused liqueurs, even if you're tired of hearing about them.
Speaking of housemade syrups, we'll see more customized shrubs and vinegars in drinks next year, too. These also will be essential components in the burgeoning trend of offering delicious alcohol-free drinks for those who don't drink spirits.
This year, we've also seen cocktails take a turn for the savory—smoky mezcal drinks that remind us of drinking bacon, and actual bacon drinks that aren't just a stunt. These days, you're as likely to see a liqueur made from pinecones as from peaches. Umami-rich sherry has claimed a moment in the spotlight, too—its savory flavors and relatively low alcohol (compared with spirits) make it just right for pairing with food.
In addition to sherry, other wines (fortified and not) as well as beer have had a moment in the cocktail spotlight—we tasted more than our share of both wine- and beer-based cocktails, and wouldn't be surprised to see more vermouth on tap in the coming year (as well as pre-blended cocktails on tap and in bottles.)
Each year we welcome the news of more historical cocktail ingredients re-emerging and gaining wider distribution. I'm glad to find Old Tom gin, Batavia Arrack, and Crème de Violette on liquor store shelves and cocktail bar menus, and excited to see what else reappears on our shores in the coming year. And alongside these great old ingredients, I also am excited to see what the next year brings in microdistilling. Will there be a big new crop of spirits? Or will economic pressure thin the herds? Will more bars focus on domestically sourced spirits in the coming year?
I also wonder if we'll see a push toward simplicity from folks who are tired of ten-ingredient cocktails. Have we shown how fancy we can get, and is it time to focus on well-made drinks that aren't so complicated?
What do you think we'll be drinking in 2012?

Indeed we are Any additional insights you want to share? I'm on my way to mount an HxC floppy emu internally in my STe (in addition to the original floppy, with an A/B-selector switch) and I'm interested in doing your pico PSU mod at the same time. An additional benefit is increasing the available internal space for mods!
Is 80W enough for an STe with some to spare or do you recommend going for a 120W model?
troed wrote:Is 80W enough for an STe with some to spare or do you recommend going for a 120W model?
calimero wrote:And why use 80W? How nany Watts have original STe PSU?
"In STFM machines the PSU is rated at 35W. However some later machines (forget which) have PSU's that are rated at 50W. But these are the maximum ratings. I would expect the normal running power to be around half that, so about 17W to 25W."
DarkLord wrote:Just FYI, I ended up breaking the white wire for my switch. I tried the black wire
first, because according to the back info panel on the power brick, that is ground.
However, when I did that, with the power jack bolted into the backplane of the
STacy, the switch wouldn't work - I guess it was grounding through the metal of
the jack and the backplane. With the switch in the on or off position, when you
plugged the brick into the jack, everything would power up.
Everything seems to be working like you would expect with breaking the white
SoundDoctor wrote:Hi DarkLord,
I may be missing something but...the ATX PSU requires Pin 14 short to ground for soft power on...there's your switch right there. If you look at the OP you'll see that the ST power switch on the original photos is simply shorting the green and black wire...well, that's what it looks like to me anyway. Maybe you're over thinking it a bit
<Edit> reading back through the thread you're talking about a STacy so that could make a huge mechanical difference to whats easy to implement or not. So does your requirement (I'm not familiar with the STacy) mean you need to switch on/off on the brick? You say there is a 3rd wire from your power brick that is not connected at the STacy end? Where does it go on the power brick? Wire the 3rd wire to Pin 14 / Green Wire of the PIco - at the PSU brick end install a switch to short that same Pin 14 / Green Wire line to ground through the switch. That would work neatly?
DarkLord wrote:[
Its working as far as functioning correctly right now, as is. But if its more appropriate (safer, efficient etc) to do it any other way, I'll
happily change it.
SoundDoctor wrote:As the old saying goes...."If it ain't broke, don't fix it"
DarkLord wrote:
The unused 3rd pin is on the power jack itself. Not the best picture in the world, but just follow the arrow:
It actually just looks like another ground to me...

Stevens Ph.D. Student Wins 2nd Place in NYCEDC Competition for Innovative, Cost-Saving Marine Construction Ideas
A significant portion of New York City's 565 miles of shoreline is littered with deteriorating structures in desperate need of rehabilitation or replacement, especially in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, which revealed the serious vulnerability of the region's waterfront. However, the rising cost of construction materials and labor, outdated construction methods and technologies, changing regulations, and a host of other factor have made waterfront construction projects prohibitively expensive in recent years.
Andrew Rella, a Stevens Ph.D. student in Coastal Engineering program, has developed an award-winning proposal for an innovative, ecological and cost-saving solution for completing New York City marine construction projects. His proposal – which calls for wave pump technology to attract oysters to marine piles – won $25,000 for taking second place in the Change the Course of the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC), a non-profit organization that promotes economic growth across the five boroughs.
Rella's proposal – a direct extension of his doctoral research – demonstrates how using wave pumps that utilize the ambient energy in the marine environment to transport water from one location to another will encourage oyster growth on marine piles that support the piers and docks of New York City's waterfronts, which can both reduce maintenance costs and improve water quality.
Typically, the thousands upon thousands of piles around New York City are made of wood and encased in protective concrete, a material which degrades over time and needs to be continually replaced. Encasing just one pile in concrete can cost more than $12,000.
Since oyster growth has been shown to exponentially strengthen concrete in a period of only several years, Rella proposes constructing oyster reefs on the piles by placing a durable net around them filled with oyster shell and seed. The process would cost less than 3percent of the expense to encase piles in concrete.
"As the oyster reef develops around the piles, the oyster's calcium carbonate shells cement to each other and the structure, strengthening it as well as protecting it from the erosional forces of the waves," said Rella, who earned his B.E. in Environmental Engineering and M.E. in Coastal Engineering from Stevens. Adult oysters can filter up to 50 gallons of water a day, having significant environmental benefits on the surrounding area.
Rella's research also shows how the careful placement of wave pumps around the piles encourages additional oyster growth, further strengthening the piles. The wave pumps – vertical pipes with one-way valves that are fueled naturally by the motion of waves or even the wakes produced by ferry activity – would transport nutrient- and oxygen-enriched water from the surface to deeper areas.
"Normally the water conditions and food supply that oysters need to survive is available on the surface," said Rella. "By pumping it deeper in the water column it encourages the growth of oysters where it would normally not be possible."
Rella – a native New Yorker who plans to dedicate his career to improving the condition of the Hudson River – has conducted research on the design of coastal structures, habitat development along shorelines, the sustainability of water resources, and alternative power supplies. His major focus has been the study of "living shorelines" – the incorporation of vegetation and other natural elements into the design of coastal structures, which are normally solely constructed from concrete or rock.
"These traditionally 'hard' concrete structures have resulted in the loss of habitat along our shores and our aquatic ecosystem has suffered greatly," said Rella. "My proposal is an innovative approach for applying the idea of living shorelines to our urban shores. I believe oysters will prove to be the foundation of any healthy ecosystem development in the region."
The NYCEDC, launched the Change the Course competition in November 2012. It sought innovative proposals to help the New York City build and maintain waterfront infrastructure in a more cost effective and sustainable manner.
Participants competed for a chance to win a cash prize of $50,000 and see their ideas incorporated into future NYCEDC waterfront projects. After submitting formal proposals of their ideas, selected finalists presented them to an exclusive field of New York City agency representatives and maritime construction professionals, at which point the winners were chosen.
Rella was officially recognized at the Change the Course Symposium on April 10, 2013 in New York City, where he presented his ideas along with other award-winners and took part in a Q&A and networking session.
"Andrew's innovative work synthesizes much of what he learned as an undergraduate in the Environmental Engineering program at Stevens with his current graduate work, and offers the promise of transforming the waterfront construction industry," said Stevens Research Assistant Professor Jon Miller.

When was malin+goetz founded?
(MALIN+GOETZ) launched with a flagship apothecary March 1 2004 in New York's trendy Chelsea neighborhood, an e-commerce website, and limited distribution which included Barneys New York, Fred Segal, and Liberty in London. A balance of Matthew and Andrew's personal and professional experiences, (MALIN+GOETZ) is a response to modernize traditional apothecary concepts and a need to simplify complicated skincare regimens.
Who are malin+goetz?
MATTHEW MALIN began his career in the Executive Training Program at Saks Fifth Avenue in 1991. He was the Apothecary Buyer at Barneys New York before overseeing global sales and distribution at Kiehl's. After Kiehl's sale to L'Oreal, Matthew worked for two years with Prada to help develop and manage the Helmut Lang Parfums Division and License.
ANDREW GOETZ, a long-time design professional, spent the 10 years prior to MALIN+GOETZ as the Marketing Director at Vitra, a Swiss-based design Manufacturer. Andrew spent much time helping the family-operated Vitra develop and cultivate the cutting edge industrial designers and architects from around the globe that Vitra is best known to discover. His gourmet cooking skills have been featured in Food&Wine Magazine for (MALIN+GOETZ)'s "best dinner parties in Manhattan."
What is the malin+goetz concept or philosophy?
Modernizing traditional apothecary concepts, our 2-step Balancing Systems simplify regimens essential for face, body, hair, and fragrance. Synthesizing performance technologies with natural botanicals, each treatment is effective for all skin types, sensitive skin, men and women.
Explain malin+goetz "performance technology"
Step 1: Hydrating Amino Acid-based Cleansers blend gentle botanical extracts to purify, removing dirt and oil for oilier skin; never drying or striping a drier skin.
Step 2: Absorbent, Oil-Free Moisturizers blend nourishing Fatty Acids and therapeutic natural extracts rather than traditional pore-clogging oils, waxes and silicones. Providing immediate and intensive hydration to a dry skin; never leaving a residue on an oily skin.
2-step regimen for balance=Cleansers (ph level 5.5) + Moisturizers (ph level 7)
Is malin+goetz appropriate for sensitive skin?
Yes! Each ingredient and percentage is carefully chosen as the least irritating and most therapeutic for all skin types, especially sensitive. Malin suffers from Rosacea, Seborrhea, Eczema and is allergic to synthetic fragrances. We take great care to ensure that no unnecessary detergents, harsh or experimental ingredients, colorants, or synthetic fragrances are added to our gentle and effective products.
Is malin+goetz vegan?
(MALIN+GOETZ) has never tested on animals and do not plan to ever do so. We do not use animals products, but we do use animal by-products. No animals are harmed or tested on in the production of our products.

Susan Sarandon said she never planned to marry actor Tim Robbins, but did not expect to part ways with the father of two of her three children either.
In an interview with London's Daily Telegraph, Sarandon said that after pulling the plug on her 23-year relationship with Robbins last Christmas, flummoxed fans would stop her on the street to say they'd wept about her breakup.
"Well, I was sadder! I didn't think it would ever happen, either," Sarandon told the Telegraph.
U.S. & World
The 63-year-old Oscar-winning "Dead Man Walking" actress and liberal activist provided scant details on why she and Robbins threw in the towel.
"You bring people into your life at certain times," she said by way of explanation. "Maybe you have a relationship to have children and you realize that it's fulfilled after that point."
Despite considering herself "one of those serial monogamists," having married her first husband Chris Sarandon at age 20, she also confided that she views herself as a "hippie chick" who never planned to wed Robbins.
"I've always liked the idea of choosing to be with somebody," Sarandon said. "I thought that if you didn't get married you wouldn't take each other for granted as easily. I don't know if after twentysomething years that was still true."
In the inteview, Sarandon also downplayed rumors that she's now dating Jonathan Bricklin, the 31-year-old business partner at the swanky Manhattan ping-pong club she co-owns called Spin.
"There are lots of people in my life at the moment," she told the Telegraph.

The Spiritual Doorway in the Brain:A Neurologist's Search for the God Experience
"Bold, provocative, and highly readable."
-V. S. Ramachandran, M.D., author of Phantoms in the Brain
-V. S. Ramachandran, M.D., author of Phantoms in the Brain
What are near-death experiences, out-of-body sensations, and spiritual ecstasy? And what do they have in common? Perhaps no one is more qualified to answer these questions than renowned neurobiologist Dr. Kevin Nelson. Drawing on his more than three decades of groundbreaking research into the "borderlands of consciousness," Dr. Nelson offers an unprecedented journey into the site of spiritual experience: the brain. Filled with amazing firsthand accounts as varied as a patient seeing the devil battling with his guardian angel to a man watching the universe synchronize around a pinball machine, The Spiritual Doorway in the Brain is an eloquent examination of our brains' spiritual "hardwiring" that will enthrall believers and skeptics alike.

I drove through the state of Nebraska last week on the way to a family wedding in Minnesota (my wife is from there) and spent a night in Huskerland.
Of course, a major topic of conversation was conference realignment. After chatting with nearly a dozen Husker faithful, I came to the conclusion that the state must be almost 100-percent supportive of Nebraska's move to the Big Ten.
And, NU fans think Colorado was wise to bolt for the Pac-10.
CU and Nebraska announced their decisions just a day apart. It appears both had been angling to leave the Big 12 for weeks, perhaps months.
The only reservation that some NU fans had was about how leaving the Big 12 might adversely affect the Huskers' recruiting efforts in the state of Texas. But everyone that I talked to agreed that the move to the Big Ten is worth it, even if Nebraska has to adjust its recruiting strategy.
Perhaps, the Husker fans said, Nebraska will become more successful in Florida because so many Big Ten teams annually pluck players from the Sunshine State. It's been a while since Nebraska was able to lure a Tommie Frazier from there.
So far Nebraska's move to the Big Ten has not become a detriment to recruiting. In fact, the Huskers appear on track to land one of their best classes in recent years. That includes oral commitments from two four-star quarterbacks in Big 12 country: 6-5 Bubba Starling of Gardner, Kan., and 6-1 Jamal Turner of Arlington, Texas.
Darrell Scott lands well
Former Colorado tailback Darrell Scott obviously made a miscalculation in believing he could join his uncle, ex-Buff wideout Josh Smith, at UCLA. But I think South Florida is a good choice for Scott. It's in a BCS league, the Big East. And Scott was born in Florida (Tallahassee) and still has extended family in Florida.
Scott must sit out the 2010 season under transfer rules. Then it will be interesting to see if, in new surroundings, he can live up to the potential he showed as a national high school blue-chipper in the Los Angeles area. For the most part, Scott looked rather pedestrian at CU. At times he showed the burst that everyone was waiting for. But not nearly often enough.
