For Mother's Day this year I've gone back to the classics - Mom's like that, right? Bunches of dried lavender from France, I brought back the Hanging Door Baskets from last year, a new size of Willow Serving Trays and a collection of Classic Trays that are my new favorite thing (made of recycled materials!). I hope you find something that you (and your Mother) love.
See the entire Mother's Day Collection, here >
French Lavender Bundles - Dried, $14
These dried French Lavender Bundles come straight from the fields in Provence. They are the perfect little something for a hostess gift, can transform a bedside table into something special, or go into a Hanging Basket (here) on your front door. I used three of these bundles in this photo of the hanging basket, but even two would do the job. They come wrapped in kraft paper and tied with natural twine, just like you would find at a French market.
Basket - Willow Hanging, $38.5
A favorite from last year is back! This year I've filled ours with dried bunches of French Lavender, but you might remember last year when it was filled with hydrangeas and flags for the 4th of July. It looks great with branches of Cherry Blossoms, big bunches of leaves or wheat in the Fall, branches of berries for the Holidays... endless.
The secret to using fresh branches and blooms in the basket is using floral tubes to keep them fresh. I've included 10 large clear tubes with each basket. Please note, it was a little too large to hang on our old front door, as we had a storm door in front of it, but looks great hanging off of a door knob inside, too.
Lavender Spray Bottles - Set of 2, $8
I love simple ideas - easy ideas that are incredibly chic. By adding dried sprigs of lavender to water you can transform your linen spray into something really special. Spray on linens before ironing, or spray on a freshly made bed... or wipe down your countertop with it! It will make you feel like an incredibly chic French woman in the Provence countryside : )For this collection, I've included two spray bottles that come with three sprigs of dried lavender. The set also comes with multiple labels for the bottles - both "Lavender Linen Spray" and "Lavender Counter Spray". All you need to do is affix the label and fill with water. In just a couple of hours, the dried lavender will lightly scent the water. It is simple and chic - no chemicals to cloud the pureness, just an easy way to freshen your daily routine.
Large Willow Serving Baskets - Set of 2
For me, Summer Entertaining is all about ease and bounty. These serving baskets are exactly what I envision when I think about a breezy, easy summer party. They make anything from appetizers to stacks of plates and linen napkins look inviting and lovely.
Last year I carried a set of 3 Willow Serving Baskets that were smaller than these - they were very popular, so many of you have them from last year! I loved the smaller collection, but this year looked for larger ones that would hold a bigger spread of appetizers. This set of 2, (and 18" round and a 20" round) are a great size for a summer party - I'm thinking a bowl of tomatoes with basil and mozzarella surrounded by crostini, or chips surrounding fresh guacamole. I love lining the basket with a nice linen tea towel.
The Tea Towels used with the baskets, can be seen here.
Bread Boards - Aged Pine (Special Order)
With our new kitchen on the near horizon, I've been thinking about some new accessories (necessities?) that I've had my eye on. A set of aged Bread Boards is at the top of the list. We've all seen them in our favorite kitchens, namely the Tessa's (Nine & Sixteen) and the Barefoot Contessa's, leaning on their counters. Not only are they great for building a big cheese board or appetizer spread, but they will add some aged character to my very new kitchen.
These Aged Bread Boards are a special order item and will take two weeks to ship.
Classic Tray Collection
For a while I've been looking for serving pieces that have the softly polished, rustic look of Italian handmade pewter, but would be suitable for more everyday and casual parties. When I stumbled upon this Classic Collection it was like an incredible twist of fate - a New England company (in Manchester by the Sea, Ma.) making pewter-looking serving pieces out of 100% recycled aluminum. All of my favorite things in one!
Baking Collection >
Provencal Blue Striped Classic Towels and Table Linens just in time.
Everyday Candle - Lovely, $16
For Mother's Day I mixed some of my favorite soft and lovely scents - Gardenia, Lilac and Lily Of The Valley. The result is a clean, soft and fresh floral scent that feels like the doors open on an early morning. As always, my candles are poured in a Mini Latte Bowl that can be reused after the candle is gone. Limited supply available.
I hope you enjoyed browsing the Mother's Day Collection. See everything here >

Elsi Eng is a multi-talented actress from Vancouver, Canada. She is fluent in English and Mandarin. In addition, she is well trained in different types of dancing and martial arts. Her fabulous personality, on and off camera, and her profound attitude towards life made her a joy to be around…
Elsi Eng is a first-generation Chinese-Canadian. The Eng family was originally from Beijing, China. Elsi graduated from Sir Winston Churchill Secondary School in 2005, then she acquired a degree in Psychology from the University of British Columbia in 2009. In 2010, she moved to Los Angeles, where she obtained a master's degree in "Acting for Film" at the New York Film Academy.
Elsi started modeling and shooting her first commercial "Y-Teen Star Search Promo" at the age of 16. Followed by that, she was recruited as the front-center dancer of a professional hip-hop team named "Biskitz". Together with her crew, they performed in many Vancouver festivals. With her extensive background in dancing, Elsi went on to perform lyrical roles in theatre. In 2011, Elsi created her first One-woman show, where she adapted a fairy character from Classic Chinese Novel Dream of The Red Chamber.
"Like a beautiful butterfly, Elsi moved on the stage with organic fluidity, precision, and a hint of simplicity. Armed with the arrows of clear intention, she skillfully penetrated the hearts and souls of those who believe in eternal love and others who are shield in their disbelief."
- Sergei Nazarenko, Actor
Just recently, Elsi became Disney English's shining star by working on a Disney-produced electronic storybook designed for the Apple iPad – "Disney Mandarin: Toy Story 3". The project required a voiceover performer with a extremely unique skill set. First, she had to be a vibrant, engaging storyteller. Next, she had to be a fluent speaker of both English and Mandarin Chinese with native-level pronunciation accuracy in both. Elsi was not just Disney English's top choice, she was the only choice.
With her extensive background in dancing, Elsi went on to explore her talent in stunt choreography. She's been filming two Martial Arts Films back to back this year, starring in both of them. In film "Rise", she takes on the extensive training for the role "Lotus", which required her to fight with extremely lethal weapons called Sais. Her dedication is rewarded by her outstanding performance on camera.
Elsi has a great acting reel, not only because she is a dynamite on screen, but also because she is gifted…with the ability to shine in front of the camera.
Right now, Elsi is busy training and filming her second martial arts film of the year "In the Cage (feature)". She is playing "Angel", a fabulous MMA female cage fighter.

Born: 1916, Brudzew, Poland
Describes arrival in Sobibor [Interview: 1990]
In 1939, as Chaim's tour in the Polish army was nearing its scheduled end, Germany invaded Poland. The Germans captured Chaim and sent him to Germany for forced labor. As a Jewish prisoner of war, Chaim later was returned to Poland. Ultimately, he was deported to the Sobibor camp, where the rest of his family died. In the 1943 Sobibor uprising, Chaim killed a guard. He escaped with his girlfriend, Selma, whom he later married. A farmer hid them until liberation by Soviet forces in June 1944.

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2013, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
House and Senate lawmakers were at odds late Wednesday over whether to allow a prison relocation authority to consider proposals to turn a new prison's programs and operation over to private contractors and the bill continues to be in flux.
The House will get a first shot at considering the seventh version of SB72 this morning after a bi-partisan conference committee voted 5-1 Wednesday night to once again make privatization proposals an option.
"My opinion here is I just don't want to jump to conclusions," said Sen. Scott Jenkins, R-Plain City, and a sponsor of the bill. "Everybody says, 'does that mean you're going to privatize the prison?' No, but I want to have the most options."
In addition to Jenkins, Sen. Steve Urquhart, R-St. George, and Sen. Gene Davis, D-Salt Lake City, participated in the late-night parlay. The House sent Rep. Brad Wilson, R-Kaysville and a bill sponsor; Rep. Greg Hughes, R-Draper, and Rep. Lynn N. Hemingway, D-Holladay.
Hemingway was the lone nay vote and said he thought the House would be unlikely to accept the bill with privatization as an option, which he said is opposed by county sheriffs and law enforcement.
"I don't know where it hurts to hear it," Jenkins responded.
Four of the six entities that expressed preliminary interest in the project have experience operating or partnering with government entities in operating prisons. According to Wilson, two are interested in building the prison and leasing the facility back to the state.
Rep. Mike Noel, R-Kanab, proposed the amendment striking language from the bill that authorized the Prison Relocation and Development Authority (PRADA) to seek proposals from private contractors for programming, operation or both at a new prison.
"This is not about making profits on individuals in our system," Noel said, later adding, "it's about the dignity, that we respect human dignity."
Noel quoted from a study that found private prisons typically did not deliver promised cost savings or improved quality. But more important, he said, was avoiding turning inmates into commodities which he said happens when prisons are privatized.
Wilson said the amendment would "tie" PRADA's hands as it considers proposals, but that argument fell flat in the House earlier Wednesday.
Both Senate President Wayne Niederhauser, R-Sandy, and Senate Majority Leader Ralph Okerlund, R-Monroe, said earlier Wednesday that privatization proposals should get an airing.
"I'm not saying privatization is the best option … but we ought to look at every option what's best for the taxpayer, what's best for Utah," Niederauser said. "We'll have some discussion on that when it comes over for concurrence."
The House voted 51-20 in favor of the amended bill on Wednesday. Speaker Becky Lockhart, R-Provo, who had previously expressed reservations about how quickly the bill was moving, was among the yeas.
The current version strengthens both the governor's hand in the process and the bill's conflict of interest provisions. Wilson emphasized that the bill does not authorize relocation of the prison, but merely empowers the PRADA board to "step further" down the road in seeing if the project is economically feasible. The governor and Legislature would still have to sign off on any proposals the board recommends.
PRADA has estimated the cost of a new prison at $550 million to $600 million, although previous estimates have put the price tag close to $1 billion.
The revised bill would allow Gov. Gary Herbert to appoint six of the 11 members of the PRADA board. It also requires the governor's "written approval" on requests for proposals to move the current Utah State Prison or tear down the old facility, and plans to redevelop the 690-acres the facility now occupies. Leaders of the Senate and House would each propose two members; Draper city, where the prison is now located, would have the last seat.
Wilson called on his colleagues to engage in "big thinking" for the future. He noted many facilities at the Utah State Prison are antiquated and do not lend themselves to programming needs for aging inmates, recidivism and safety of both inmates and staff. He said now was the time to act given low interest rates, construction costs and attractiveness of the current site as an economic center for the state.
"It's a tremendous opportunity for us," he said.
The Governor's Office of Economic Development has estimated that the current prison site could attract developments that would create up to 40,000 jobs and $20 billion in economic revenue over 25 years.
But Rep. Mark A. Wheatley, D-Murray, questioned those projections as "too good to be true."
"This piece of property it sounds like it's made of gold," he said.
The House tacked on an amendment by Rep. Patrice Arent, D-Millcreek, to ensure hearings to allow public input as PRADA solicits and vets proposals.
Noel also questioned whether the conflict provision would bar a representative of the Utah Association of Counties from serving as a PRADA board member. The substitute bill bars anyone who is an "officer" of an entity that has a direct or indirect interest in the project language that could be interpreted to apply to any local governmental entity, Noel said.

text: boli2 0 Posted June 17, 2013 Hey guys, I am looking for a good quality yet relatively inexpensive lens around the 400mm range and have my eye on a Canon EF 400mm f/5.6 L. Has anyone here used one before on a crop body 7d or similar? I know it doesnt have IS and is relatively slow but that is ok as any shots taken with this will be surfing, bif, aviation & the odd motor racing and all in good light at relatively fast shutter speeds. Another lens I would consider is the dust pump 100-400l but hate the idea of the push pull zoom. The versatility of the extra range is inviting, at the same time I have a 70-200 2.8 IS II and dont really think i would miss the 200 - 400 versatility. Any feedback is welcome. boli Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeterS necesitaba un nuevo diseño de otro y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 43 diseños de 13 diseñadores freelance.
Computer Vision Primer
The site is called Computer Vision Primer, URL http://inperc.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page. It is devoted to computer vision, digital image analysis, related math, and applications.
The visitors are engineers and researchers, from both industry and academia, programmers, and students.
The design of the image should generally follow the idea of the front cover of a textbook with "Computer Vision Primer" on it.
The site has a text area on a black background. Screenshot is attached, with your image to be inserted at the top part of the text area above the text (the crossed rectangle).
The graphics should relate to the purpose of the site, in some indirect way. Images of: a magnifying glass, a microscope, numbers flying around, a person looking at a computer screen, etc wouldn't work.
For the graphics idea, consider the image that I currently use (attached). It depicts hands with interlaced fingers and the point here is that it takes image analysis to sort it out. The graphics both presents a real image and invokes the science needed to analyze it. I like this image, so one option is to try to incorporate it (or a variation) into your design. But I am certainly open to other ideas. You can browse the site itself for inspiration.
For the overall design, take a look at these book covers (most are boring):
Please submit sketches of your designs as a part of the page, i.e. inserted in the screenshot image.
Format of the final image: .psd, depicted proportions, editable text.

| 9.4°C Belfast
The shopworkers' union has urged MPs to vote against the suspension of Sunday trading laws during the Olympics when the move comes before Parliament on Monday.
Usdaw said the vast majority of shopworkers and retailers opposed extending opening hours in England and Wales for eight Sundays from July 22.
The union accused the Government of trying to force through the Sunday Trading (London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games) Bill after just five hours' debate in the House of Lords and of denying its own MPs a free vote on the issue.
John Hannett, Usdaw general secretary said: "Usdaw members want MPs to put family, sport and the Olympics first tomorrow by voting against this ill-conceived and rushed piece of legislation. Its only cheerleaders are Government and corporate interests who want to see a permanent deregulation of Sunday trading.
"The vast majority of shopworkers don't want to work extra hours on a Sunday and they quite rightly blame their increasingly difficult struggle to maintain a semblance of normal family life on the twin demands for more flexibility and unsocial working hours. These demands also reduce the opportunity of workers and their children to participate in organised sports and leisure activities.
"The suggestion that the success of the Games is any way dependent on large shops in Lancaster or Lincoln being open for 168 hours a week rather than 150 is nonsense and an insult to both to the Olympic Games and a world city like London.
"Worse still, enabling people to go shopping during Olympic events is actually being put ahead of enabling families to watch and enjoy the Games together.
"Ministers say shopworkers can opt out of Sunday working but while that right remains crucial, it won't help the thousands who already work Sundays and may be pressurised into working extra hours against their will. Ministers also claim it is only a temporary measure yet haven't even ruled out making a move for full deregulation during this Parliament."
A Business Department spokesman said: "The Olympics present a once in a lifetime opportunity to showcase London and the whole of the United Kingdom. By temporarily suspending Sunday trading laws we will enhance the visitor experience and provide a real boost to the economy.
"This Bill is not a test case for a future permanent relaxation of the Sunday trading rules and will only last for the duration of the Games. The suspension will allow more flexibility over the Olympics period, for shoppers, retailers and workers alike."

At some point or other someone is always gazing into a crystal ball predicting the future of the travel industry
It's understandable given the tremendous impact, say, mobile has had in the travel space, or the daily emergence of new sites that offer interesting new search processes.
There are sophisticated strategies designed to reach the consumer directly with ideas, deals, discounts, bargains and filtered reviews and content.
We've come a long way from just algorithmic, transactional search engine sites .
What most travelers don't know, is that travel experts neatly divide the travel buying experience into discrete phases :
• Dreaming, Planning, Booking, Experiencing and Sharing.
The new Facebook "Open Graph" and the concept of "seamless sharing" may well impact the travel industry at least in the planning stages of travel
As Tnooz says, the new Facebook tools will allow friends to participate in their friends' travel plans almost step-by-step, as in where they booked a flight; what guide book or site they referred to; what apps they used to help them navigate Paris, etc.
But the early stage of "Dreaming" has been neglected in the development of booking and sharing- oriented sites, so it's interesting to see Hotelmarketing.com note that the potential for innovation, particularly in the early stages of dreaming and researching is "astounding."
Rob Torres, head of travel at Google, says that in 2012 watch for new sites that play into a traveler's need to dream, to be "turned on," as a major factor in taking the next steps in considering where, when and how to travel.
So, while Google claims it has no intention of entering the booking stage of the travel space, according to Nigel Huddleston, head of Google Travel UK and Ireland, it plans to play an increasing role in the sharing and experiencing stages of travel.
We think video will play a huge role in this and believe one of our own companies, Travel Video PostCard is already playing a role in shaping how travelers begin to conceive of and get excited by their travels.
And of course mobile's relationship to travel continues to grow and grow:
• The number of mobile users researching travel is expected to grow 51% in 2012
• 34% of all US smartphone users research from their mobile device
• 23% of all international travelers use mobile check-in for flights
• By 2012 18% of mobile users will also book from their smart device
While mobile probably has the single biggest impact, it seems like reviews (good, bad and indifferent) will continue wield great influence and are embraced by just about all providers of travel content and information.
But with more and more claims of corrupted or fake reviews, one wonders how the impact of reviews on travelers will be affected.
In travel, the future is today.

If you're looking to start a new diet, or alternately, if you're tired of your diet and plan to let yourself go, if you just got a job and want to celebrate, if you plan to become a home cooking prodigy or just like to play around in the kitchen, then the CRIMSON SERIES G10 Knife Line is exactly what you need.
Now, reading up on quartering a chicken and studying the culinary guides for local flavor should be as much a part of your preoccupation once you own this set as taking a picture with the Ergo Chef knife for your new Facebook profile pic.
Six days a week, among other duties, I prepare meals in the Splash kitchen. The arrival of the Ergo Chef Crimson series gave me plenty of trepidation, particularly as I set down for the first time on the kitchen counter, the entire cutlery set in its bamboo wooden block. It was time to take this cooking thing seriously, I thought to myself, just as I finished poaching what might as well have been a belt buckle.
But these knifes looked prolific in my hands, and made me want to go on a chopping spree. I felt inundated with zeal. And to appease my enthusiasm, Thanksgiving was looming with the promise of bird breasts to be sheared, onions to score and vats of potatoes to peel.
Here are some of the amazing features I discovered during this time -
The Ergo Chef knives are crafted with G10 Fiberglass Resin - the most durable handle material in the world. Also the red handle has an elegant and comfortable line that really makes one look like a pro when holding it, while the ergonomic handle design has a natural feel that indeed translates into more efficient cuts.
The tapered bolster blends from the full tang handle to blade for an easy grip, precise control and perfect balance. Because I chop a lot of vegetables in the kitchen, I particularly like the 6" Santoku knife. As I pinch the blade, I can drive through with precision due to the perfectly natural feel of this tool in my hand.
The Crimson set is made with precision machined German steel blades that provide superior stain resistance and durability. The blades are sharpened to 18 degrees and heat treated for long edge life.
This line will be formally introduced to stores in 2014 at the January Atlanta Gift Show and March IHHS. All Ergo Chef products come with a 30 day Satisfaction money back Guarantee!

F# comes out of the box with an interactive REPL. C# has nothing of the sort and is in fact kinda difficult to play around without setting up a full project (though LINQpad works and its also possible to do via powershell).
Is there something fundamentally different about the languages that allows F# to have the interactive console but makes it difficult to implement it for C#?
Since many years later people are still coming to this question I should note that now there are many options. You can use powershell (pre-installed on every modern windows machine) to play with the .Net framework. Or you can use LINQpad to prototype arbitrary c# code. Or you can use ScriptCs or you can use an online jsfiddle-type environment like Complify.net or Jsil. Lots of options.

To give children a good education in manners, arts, and science is important; to give them a religious education is indispensable; and an immense responsibility rests on parents and guardians who neglect these duties."
(Noah Webster in
First Edition of an American Dictionary of the English Language, 1828)
"And these words which I am commanding you today shall be on your heart; and you shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up."

Born: 1916, Brudzew, Poland
Describes plans for the Sobibor uprising. Chaim refers to [Gustav] Wagner, Sobibor's deputy commandant [Interview: 1990]
The Germans captured Chaim, a soldier in the Polish army, as they invaded Poland in 1939. They first sent Chaim to Germany for forced labor, but as a Jewish prisoner of war, he was returned to Poland. Ultimately, Chaim was deported to the Sobibor camp, where the rest of his family died. In the 1943 Sobibor uprising, Chaim killed a guard. He escaped with his girlfriend, Selma, whom he later married. A farmer hid them until liberation in June 1944.

Publication Archive
This archive contains all documents published by cep over the last few years:
cepAdhoc: Incisive comment on current EU policy issues.
cepPolicyBrief: Concise 4-page reviews of EU proposals (Regulations, Directives, Green Papers, White Papers, Communications) – including a brief summary and economic and legal assessments.
cepInput: Impulse to current discussions of EU policies.
cepStudy: Comprehensive examination of EU policy proposals affecting the economy.
The Green Paper serves for the Commission as a basis for discussion. It wishes to find out what exactly shadow banking entities are, which activities they exercise and which benefits and risks are related to them as well as what a future regulation of shadow banking could look like.
If a motor vehicle is already registered in a Member State, e.g. cross-border workers or car-rental companies are obliged to register it again in the Member State in which the motor vehicle is used. Now, the Commission proposes to determine the Member State in which a motor vehicle must be registered, to shorten the re-registration procedures and to simplify the data exchange between national registration authorities.
The Commission has published a Directive Proposal which is to replace the existing Procurement Directive (2004/18/EC). The Commission's proposal aims to eliminate legal uncertainty in the procurement between public entities and their cooperation. Moreover, it is to facilitate access to public procurement for small and medium-sized enterprises (SME). Public procurement will continue to be used in support of societal and environmental goals.
South-Europe's creditworthiness keeps eroding as demonstrated by the latest assessment of the cepDefault Index. Italy's erosion consolidated in 2011; as regards Greece, the negative trend did not only continue but declined even further; Spain is somewhat crumbling but – apart from the banking crisis – not doing too badly.
In Portugal, however, the vigorous structural reforms now bear fruit – an upward trend is soon to emerge. It is very likely that Portugal will regain its full creditworthiness in 2015.
All other South-European countries need to improve their competitiveness through structural reforms too.
The Commission aims to implement a fully integrated payment market in the EU. In its Green Paper, the Commission presents action plans for the market integration.
Motor vehicles and their exhaust systems are subject to an EU-wide type-approval procedure which, among other things, prescribes noise emission limits and a uniform test method. The existing test method is to be replaced, since according to the Commission the test procedure does not reflect real world driving behaviour. At the same time it wishes to lower the noise limit values in order to ensure a high level of environmental protection and public safety.
The Commission wishes to boost competition on the audit market by the obligation to change auditors regularly ("rotation rule"). A prohibition of non-audit services (e.g. tax advice) is to strengthen the independence of auditors.
In its Restructuring Green Paper, the Commission calls upon all Member States to make use of instruments such as short-time working schemes, working time accounts and corporate work alliances during times of crisis, as they are suitable for safeguarding jobs. Moreover, it proposes reforms of the tax and benefit schemes in order to minimize the impact of the crisis on the labour market. In the case of company restructurings due to economic changes, the Commission requests an early involvement of "all relevant stakeholders" and a harmonisation of parts of the insolvency law. Thus the chances of future adjustment measures of restructuring processes are to be improved. Moreover, "amendments" of employment termination rules are to safeguard a high level of employment and social protection.
According to the Commission, there is not enough eco-innovation in the EU. Therefore, it wishes to speed up eco-innovation and to improve its marketing. To this end, the environmental legislation is to be revised and small and, in particular, medium-sized undertakings be subsidised.
The Commission wishes to promote the digital single market by setting new framework conditions and removing obstacles. To this end, it presents an action plan.

'We're Not Doing a Mobile Phone' Added to Norton Anthology of False Denials
In the lexicon of Google nondenial denials, "we're not doing a mobile phone" is right up there with the great ones: "We don't think it's a competitor to Microsoft Office"; "We do not intend to offer a person-to-person, stored-value payments system"; and, of course, "We have no plans for an IPO."
According to people familiar with Google's plans, the company is indeed working on a mobile handset. "Google has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in the cellphone project," The Wall Street Journal reports. "It has developed prototype handsets, made overtures to operators such as T-Mobile USA and Verizon Wireless, and talked over technical specifications with phone manufacturers. It hopes multiple manufacturers will make devices based on its specs and multiple carriers will offer them."
Interesting, eh? You know who else probably has a few of those prototype handsets? Sprint Nextel. Remember, Google did announce an alliance with the carrier last week, one that will see the two companies working together to bring Google's search, digital-mapping technologies and GTalk chat service to Sprint's WiMax network. Five dollars and an Eric Schmidt bobblehead says if and when Google-customized phones do arrive at market, they run on Sprint's high-speed wireless network first.

Eunice Kennedy Shriver, the sister of President John F. Kennedy and a champion of the disabled who founded the Special Olympics, died Tuesday, the Special Olympics said. She was 88.
Born on July 10, 1921, in Brookline, Massachusetts, Shriver was the fifth of nine children to Joseph P. and Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy. She emerged from the long shadow of siblings John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy and Sen. Edward M. Kennedy as the founder of the Special Olympics, which started as a summer day camp in her backyard in 1962.
Today, 3.1 million people with mental disabilities participate in 228 programs in 170 nations, according to the Special Olympics. Read full article »

LG has kicked off its CES with a stunner – the LG G Flex 2. While many believe that flexible display is the future of mobile, last year's LG G Flex was at best a cool tech demo with unrealistic pricing and not so great specs. With the second iteration LG is hoping to have a genuinely compelling and unique smartphone.
The biggest improvement in the G Flex 2 is the display. The display size has been reduced from the gigantic 6-inch to a more manageable 5.5-inch, while resolution has been bumped up from 720p to 1080p. The display is also supposed to be a lot brighter than before. The phone measures in at 5.87 by 2.96 inches and doesn't feel massive thanks to the narrow bezels. The screen is curved to a 700 mm radius. LG claims that the glass is 20% tougher than Gorilla Glass 3. The G Flex 2 houses a 3000 mAH battery, which can be charged from 0 to 50% in just 40 minutes.
One of the unique features of the G Flex was a self-healing back, which allowed the back cover to it to 'automagically' repair bending as well as scratching. However, it often took up to 3 minutes for the phone to heal itself. With the G Flex 2, LG is promising a drastically faster heal time of 10 seconds at room temperature.
Under the hood, the LG G Flex is powered by Snapdragon 810 – the latest and greatest from Qualcomm. There's 2 gigs of RAM, and the device will launch with Lollipop out of the box. There will be 2 variants with 16 and 32 GB of internal storage. Both will support expandable memory up to 128 GB. It will be available in two colours – Platinum Silver, Flamenco Red.
The camera seems to have carried over the enhancements introduced in LG G3. It's a 13 megapixel with dual-LED flash, Laser Autofocus, and OIS+ (optical image stabilization). The 2.1 megapixel front camera boasts of Gesture Shot while is helpful while taking selfies.
The G Flex 2 ticks all the right boxes, and is undoubtedly a drool worthy device. However, the pricing will ultimately determine its popularity, and LG is keeping mum about the cost for now.

Love them, hate them, or simply don't care, but just don't deny that the tastemakers at Pitchfork and Drowned In Sound hold massive sway over the music scene. In an era when many music blogs are content simply to throw up an MP3 and a blurb, their reviewers stubbornly post relatively long-form music reviews, although they do tip their hat to the new brevity by rating each album with a number.
For those with access to Spotify, the author included (sometimes it's good to be press), Pitchify compiles the highest-rated music on Pitchfork and Drowned In Sound into a curated front-end for Spotify. It's a (plural) marriage made in heaven, for those whose taste tends to align with the reviews on those sites.
Pitchify works by scouring those sites for albums that received an 8/10 or higher from those blogs on a daily basis, then generating direct links to the albums within Spotify.
"Lots of albums are reviewed every day, and thousands of tracks added to Spotify every week," writes Pitchify creator Anders Austad. "Pitchify tries to sort through the pile, throw away the Gagas and the Nickelbacks and present you with the very best that Spotify has to offer."
This works great as a way to keep up with the latest blog-praised records, and Austad includes helpful bonus features such as links to reviews of the album on a variety of sites in addition to Pitchfork and Drowned In Sound; a Twitter feed listing all the new music posted to the site; an RSS feed that does the same; a similar artists section for finding new music to listen to based on the stuff you already know you like; and a Random button, if you're not sure what you're looking for.
Pitchify is great, but I'd really like to see it in app form, because as I've written before, the integration of music players with music journalism has a lot of potential.
So, when can U.S. music fans use it, if ever?
That remains anyone's guess. For a few educated guesses, we turn to the executives on the State of the Union at Digital Music Forum East on Thursday, who didn't like Spotify's chances when asked by panel moderator Ted Cohen of TAG Strategic whether the popular European music service will launch here by June:
John Boyle, CEO of The BAM Group: "No."
Christina Calio, Microsoft director: "No."
Vince Bannon, Getty Image vice president: "Yes."
Julie Lee, Vevo executive vice president: "No."
Gerrit Meier, Clear Channel Radio digital COO: "It's a stretch."
On the other hand, with the exception of Julie Lee who declined to comment, agreed that Apple would launch a subscription streaming service by the end of the year.
Perhaps Austad should probably begin work on "PitchiTunes."

|Country Of origin:
The Durutti Column was primarily the vehicle of Vini Reilly, a guitarist born in Manchester, England, in 1953. As a child, Reilly first took up the piano, drawing inspiration from greats like Art Tatum and Fats Waller, before learning to play guitar at the age of ten. Despite an early affection for folk and jazz, Reilly ultimately became swept up by the punk movement, and in 1977 he joined the group Ed Banger & the Nosebleeds. In 1978, Factory Records founder Tony Wilson invited Reilly to join a group dubbed the Durutti Column, the name inspired by the Spanish Civil War anarchist Buenaventura Durruti and a Situationists Internationale comic strip of the 1960s. Along with Reilly, the nascent band included guitarist Dave Rowbotham, drummer Chris Joyce, vocalist Phil Rainford, and bassist Tony Bowers; following a handful of performances, Rainford was fired, and after recording a pair of tracks for the EP A Factory Sampler, Rowbotham, Joyce, and Bowers broke off to form the Moth Men, leaving the Durutti Column the sole province of Vini Reilly. (Joyce and Bowers would later join the more popular Simply Red.)
Recorded with the aid of a few session musicians and released in a sandpaper sleeve, the debut The Return of the Durutti Column, a collection of atmospheric instrumentals, appeared in 1980. With 1981's pastoral LC, recorded with drummer Bruce Mitchell (who remained a frequent collaborator), Reilly attempted vocals on a few tracks, and continued expanding his palette with a pair of explorations of chamber music, 1982's Another Setting and 1984's Without Mercy. Electronic rhythms, meanwhile, emerged as the pivotal element of 1985's Say What You Mean, Mean What You Say. After 1985's live effort Domo Arigato, Circuses and Bread marked a return to the densely constructed guitar textures of previous works, while 1987's eclectic The Guitar and Other Machines ranked among the Durutti Column's most ambitious works to date. In 1988, Reilly backed Morrissey (also an alumnus of the Nosebleeds) on his solo debut, Viva Hate, before returning to the Durutti Column for the release of a 1989 LP titled Vini Reilly, another diverse affair that incorporated vocal samples from Otis Redding, Annie Lennox, Tracy Chapman, and opera star Joan Sutherland.
Released in 1990, the aggressive Obey the Time preceded 1991's Lips That Would Kiss Form Prayers to Broken Stone, a collection of singles, rarities, and unreleased material. After a long layoff (during which Rowbotham happened to be slain by an axe murderer, inspiring the Happy Mondays' "Cowboy Dave"), the Durutti Column returned in 1995 with Sex and Death, followed a year later by Fidelity, which fused dance beats with Reilly's guitar lines. Reilly issued several albums throughout the 2000s, from archival concert recordings to such studio efforts as Treatise on the Steppenwolf, a soundtrack augmenting the experimental theater production of the same name, as well as 2009's heart-wrenching effort Love in the Time of Recession. The instrumental suite Paean to Wilson, composed in 2009, was some of Reilly's most personal work, written for his late friend and most passionate supporter, the late Tony Wilson. Initially scheduled for limited release in 2009, it was granted wider distribution early the following year. In 2011, Reilly debuted Chronicle as a performance commissioned by Manchester's Bridgewater Hall and offered the music as a limited-edition CD at the show. The band's long-lost fourth album, Short Stories for Pauline, which was shelved by Wilson in favor of Without Mercy, was issued as a limited-edition vinyl release in 2012. Two years later, Chronicle LX:XL, a deluxe edition of Chronicle in honor of Reilly's 60th birthday, arrived on Kooky. ~ Jason Ankeny~ Rovi

Soaring -- A My Town Monday Post
Rick Husband was born in Amarillo on July 12th, 1957. He attended Belmar Elementary, Crockett Junior High and Amarillo High School graduating in 1975. After college at Texas Tech University he entered the US Air Force as a commissioned officer where he became a test pilot and flew a variety of aircraft until being selected by NASA in 1994 to enter their training and evaluation program. In 1999 he fulfilled a life long dream and was among the Space Shuttle Discovery crew that made the first ever docking with the International Space Station.
January of 2003 Rick Husband left on his second space mission as Commander of STS-107. Sixteen day later he and his Columbia crew perished in the skies above Texas when their spacecraft disintegrated upon reentry.
Today the Amarillo airport's official name is is Rick Husband International Airport in honor of our local boy's accomplishments. His death as well as the others on Columbia was a great tragedy, but some soalce can be taken by the fact they died while living out their dream. May we all be so lucky when our time comes.

Hi Travis,
Thank you for this touching post.

I was so affected by the columbia tragedy that I wrote a poem about it.
They went across night,
Phaethons all,
stabbed like meteor flame
through the great silence
that sucked up the sound
of the engines.
Yet who could have known,
that not in cold black,
but in the wild blue,
higher than the mountains,
the angels of chaos
would steal their dream.
In the sound of fury,
against the hammering sky,
they rode the hand of god
until it released them
to fall like stars,
seven brave stars.
and so they came down to earth
and so they came home
one last time

Travis, I love all the Space stuff, we have been to Kennedy Space centre a few times and I love it more than the likes of Disney. When I was at school at the time of Apollo (in the 60's and 70's) I collected every mission badge, every scrap of info about space. I can remember his mission. I have posted mine on a different theme this week!!

Thanks, Travis. This is a moving post.
I still feel a childlike exhuberance around our space program. I often watch launches, EVA's and the like on TV, or more commonly on NASA.tv. One of the things that makes our nation great is our space program.
I can't wait for more brave souls - like Rick - to live their (and my) childhood dreams of traveling into orbit, back to the moon, and hopefully one day during my lifetime, to Mars.
