Next Episode of Ed, Edd n' Eddy is
not planed. TV Show was canceled.
"Welcome to the Cul-de-Sac. The dead-end street where three friends bound by one name spend their days concocting crazy schemes, making a mess, and generally getting on everyone's nerves. Like the time Ed sleepwalked into people's houses and ate everything in their fridges. Or the time The Eds offer the neighborhood kids a "luxury cruise" in a floating inner tube. Yup, they're just like your real friends. Only weirder. We hope."
Looks like something went completely wrong!
But don't worry - it can happen to the best of us,
- and it just happened to you.
Please try again later or contact us.

Vaccines can help people stay healthy to avoid missed activities and work, and to have time for what matters most – family, friends and hobbies. To protect against serious diseases such as meningitis, shingles, whooping cough, hepatitis A and B, and chicken pox, Lorain County Public Health (LCPH) offers recommended vaccines for children, teens, and adults at locations across the county.
Clinic times and dates are subject to change. Bring vaccine record if available, insurance card, and cash, check, or Visa/MasterCard. All children under age 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. LCPH participates in the Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program to provide vaccines to children who qualify; no child in the VFC program is denied vaccines for inability to pay.

Columbia Gas of Ohio will be surveying their gas lines and facilities in parts of Lorain throughout the month of June. Columbia Gas crews will capture the location of underground infrastructure using GPS equipment to create a more accurate picture of our gas delivery system. This investment in safety will also improve our emergency response and maintenance.
This process involves:
• Using a GPS receiver to record the location of gas facilities, including house meters.
• Tracing gas lines along the street and up to customer homes.
• Placing a door tag on homes to notify customers and residents of the work in their community.
All GPS technicians will carry a Columbia Gas of Ohio ID badge. Residents may call their municipality looking for more information on this project. Here is a brief YouTube video of the process:

"Whatever happens to you belongs to you. Make it yours. Feed it to yourself even if it feels impossible to swallow. Let it nurture you, because it will."
— Cheryl Strayed
Snag your print copy of Lehigh Valley Style magazine for my latest column with some unique gift ideas and back stories on three of the most creative locals I know:
Wendy Landiak of Shankara Vegan Restaurant, patron saint of LV vegan food since as long as I can remember! Learn about how she got started in cooking (she catered for Deepak Chopra!), the many incarnations of her eateries, and how to get hands-down the best brunch on earth right here in South Bethlehem;
Andy V. of Andy Vasquez Furniture, local skater/nice guy who makes the most jaw-dropping gorgeous handcrafted furniture and home accessories from wood. If you like midcentury modern, rustic chic, or kitchen cutting boards shaped like the state of Pennsylvania, he's your guy;
Marissa Wetzel of Everlasting Image, miracle worker who uses photoshop to create beautiful portraits of babies who passed away before photos of them without medical tubes and wires were ever taken. I was in awe the first time I saw her work
PLUS! A vegan recipe created just for LV Style readers.
My column "Fresh Perspectives with Jaime K" is a bi-monthly column where I get to personally choose to shine the spotlight on creatives, small business owners, unique shops, community builders, and the best vegan eats in the Lehigh Valley, PA. If you know someone who would make a great fit, I'd love to hear about them.

Adding Colorfunction causing poor plot quality
- To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net
- Subject: [mg101274] Adding Colorfunction causing poor plot quality
- From: Porscha Louise McRobbie <pmcrobbi at umich.edu>
- Date: Sun, 28 Jun 2009 23:28:12 -0400 (EDT)
Hi, I want to understand why adding a ColorFunction seems to worsen the resolution of my graphics. I have two side-by-side animations, one of which is a complex function Psi, where the shape is the square modulus and the ColorFunction is Arg[Psi]. I have the following: Clear[Psi, X, anima, dx0, dk, k0] DynamicModule[{dk, k0, Psi, anima}, dk = .5; dx0 = 0.5/dk; Psi[x_, k0_, t_] := 1/((4 Pi^2 dk^2)^(1/4)) ( 2 E^((k0^2 t - 2 k0 x - 2 I dk^2 x^2)/(2 I - 4 dk^2 t)) Sqrt[Pi])/Sqrt[1/dk^2 + 2 I t]; anima[x_, k0_] := Animate[ GraphicsRow[{Plot[Abs[Psi[x, k0, t]]^2, {x, -20, 20}, PlotRange -> {{-20, 20}, {0, 1.1}}, Filling -> Axis, ColorFunction -> (Hue[(Arg[Psi[#1, k0, t]])/(2 Pi)] &), ColorFunctionScaling -> False, PerformanceGoal -> "Quality", PlotPoints -> 10, MaxRecursion -> 3], Show[ Plot[Sqrt[1 + T^2/(4 dx0^4)], {T, 0, t}, PlotStyle -> {Thick, Blue}, PlotRange -> {{0, 15}, {0, 7.5}}], Plot[dk T/dx0, {T, 0, 15}, PlotStyle -> {Black, Dashed, Thick}]]}, ImageSize -> 600], {t, 0.0001, 15}, AnimationRunning -> False]; Manipulate[anima[x, k0], Style["Wavepacket Center", Bold, 16], {{k0, 0, Style["\!\(\*SubscriptBox[\"k\", \"0\"]\)", 14]}, -1.25, 1.25, Appearance -> "Labeled", ImageSize -> Small}, ControlPlacement -> Left, SaveDefinitions -> True]] The resolution on both plots isn't great. I've tried adjusting both PlotPoints and MaxRecursion, but it doesn't seem to improve the quality at all, it only makes the animation controls (Play/Pause) more slow to respond when clicked. I see the same problems if I change the ColorFunction to something simpler like "Rainbow". However, if I remove the options ColorFunction and ColorFunctionScaling, the plots are not jagged, the resolution is great, and the animation smoother. 1. Is there another way to add a ColorFunction to such a filled plot? 2. Why should adding a colorfunction to the first element of my GraphicsRow (which worsens the resolution), also worsen the resolution of the second element of my GraphicsRow? Thanks in advance, Porscha

E. Tilghman Earle Collection - PP124
Collection finding aids of Photograph Collections in the Prints and Photographs Division of the Maryland Historical Society Library
ca. 1900-1941 (bulk ca. 1940-1941)
Prints and Photographs Division, Maryland Historical Society
201 W. Monument St.
Baltimore, MD 21201
Finding aid created by Katherine Cowan with funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, October 1999
There is no information about who made the present collection of photographs, or when or for what purpose. The donor's mother, Leola Earle, had the photographs in her possession, but it is not clear whether she made or collected them.
Elizabeth Bellis (d. 1903) was one of the founders of the Empty Stocking Club, which started as a small Christmas party for underprivileged children, and grew to the point of being held at the Fifth Regiment Armory. She was married to Frederick Dorton, and the couple lived at 2330 N. Calvert St. in Baltimore. Frederick Dorton's father was Henry F. Dorton, an officer in the U.S. Navy during the Civil War, who later served as superintendent of foreign mails in the Baltimore Post Office. Their son was Frederick Babcock Dorton, former husband of Elizabeth Tilghman Earle.
Collection Origin
Gift of Mrs. E. Tilghman Earle, 1987 (002036).
Scope and Contents
The collection consists of 1 box with 78 small format photoprints, made between ca. 1905 and 1941, with the majority made in ca. 1940-1941. Subjects are mainly buildings in and around Baltimore, with some from Baltimore County and Annapolis. Included buildings are museums, schools, churches, hospitals, monuments, theaters, and service stations.
There are a few identified portraits, including Elizabeth Bellis Dorton (Mrs. Frederick), ca. 1900, and Leola M. and Elizabeth Earle with George Nyce in Washington, D.C., ca. 1925.
Related materials are held in the Manuscripts Department of the Maryland Historical Society: MS. 1482, the Henry Dorton Diary; and MS. 2773, the Henry Frederick Dorton Travel Diary.
The photographs are arranged according to PP catalog numbers.

LED Lighting
LED means 'Light Emitting Diode' and is a semiconducter light source. LED Lighting was introduced as a practical electrical component in 1962. Early LED's emitted low intensity red light but modern versions are available across visible, ultraviolet and infra red wavelength.
LED Lighting presents many advantages over incandescent light sources including lower energy consumption, longer lifetime, improved robustness, smaller size, faster switching and greater durability and reliability. LED lights may therefore be a wise choice when you are looking to upgrade lighting around the home.
The current operational life of a LED light is approximately 10,000 hours which is 11 years of continuous operation or 22 years at 50%! This is in stark contrast to the average life of an incandescent lightbulb which has at most 5000 hours. Also, if the light needs to be placed somewhere inaccessible then the use of an LED light would virtually eliminate the need for routine bulb replacement.
The key strength of LEDs is the reduced power consumption. When properly designed, an LED circuit will approach 80% efficiency (meaning that 80% of the electrical energy is converted to light energy) and 20% loss of heat. In comparison a normal incandescent bulb operates at 20% efficiency and 80% loss of heat.
Clearly the cost savings to run LED lights are significant. Based on a 100 watt incandescent bulb being used for 1 year you could save roughly £40 of electricity per bulb per year. This does not take into account the fact that LED lights will last a long time wheras you are likely to have to replace an incandescent bulb incurring an additional cost.
The initial outlay for an LED light is higher since the bulbs are more expensive, however the benefits are certainly available to justify this initial outlay of cost.
When considering your next lighting purchase, please do consider the benefits in the long term that LED lighting may be able to offer to you. If we can be of any assistance in your selection of LED lights then please do not hesitate to contact us on 01225 460803 and we will be happy to assist you.

It's always strange, and rather unsettling, when an artist turns up in a blaze of glory, garners a degree of popular and / or critical success, and then disappears back into the ether. Of course, many long-standing artists will have a period where they tend to their families, drug addictions or large amounts of cash in the attic. Tom Vek's case is a strange one, though: neither rich enough (presumably) nor popular enough (certainly) to really disappear from the limelight in as complete a way as he seemingly has.
Visit his MySpace and you'll see a long litany of comments, simply saying: "Where are you?" Go to his essentially abandoned website and there's nothing. No plans for recording beyond the vaguest of implications that work is afoot, and no tentative release dates or fill-in shows. Absolute disappearance. Possibly, the man much derided for his Talking Heads love is brewing up a record to slay the naysayers forever more. _Or_, maybe he's taken his aural easel, folded it up and gone home for good.
Not uncommonly, many of our favourite bands have disappeared for years – sometimes decades – without a word, surrounded by fervent whispers of 'difficult fifth records', cocaine frenzies and satanic rituals in the Hollywood hills.
Beyond Tom Vek, here are a few others who've been troubling us:
Obviously there are plans for a record this year, but they're worth a mention purely on the basis of the fact that they're serial take-their-timers. The wait between OK Computer _and _Kid A was hell on earth for their many obsessive fans, and the results were typically confounding. Hail To The Thief, their last record, is a good three years old now. We wait with baited breath for the new one.
*Stephen Malkmus *
The last record that Malkmus released was 2005's Face The Truth. The last record reviewed by DiS was the very patchy Pig Lib in 2003. Face The Truth appeared with such a whimper that you wonder what Malkmus is going to do next to get his career back on track.
*Mylo *
Dance-indie-pop crossover king of a couple of years back, Mylo has been royally fucked by the appearance of his compatriot, the much taller and much, much more irritating Calvin Harris. Still, after such an unfeasibly large hit record, you wonder when the bedroom king will be dropping the new shit. Or maybe he's feeling the pressure… dum dum dum de dum…
*Limp Bizkit *
2003's Results May Vary (no shit) was their last proper LP, and marked the fall from grace of a band who once were (probably) the biggest turd-rock band in the world. Wes Borland left, he came back, he left again… who cares? Well, us enough to write about it. Apparently the follow-up to their last release, The Unquestionable Truth_ EP, will be out this year. Expect some mirth-making in the process.
No record since 2000's Stiff Upper Lip – which was great – there's word of a release early next year. Which is all well and good, but the main thing we're waiting for is the return of probably still the best rock 'n' roll band in the world. AC/DC to headline Download 2008? Here's hoping...
Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Their last record, Yanqui U.X.O, appeared in 2002. In 2004, guitarist Roger-Tellier Craig left the band to concentrate on Fly Pan Am. Last year, at a Silver Mt Zion show, Efrim responded to a question about Godspeed's hiatus by saying that he "[Does not] believe that anyone has given up on the group, but it's very complicated".
No record since the Coxon-less Think Tank_, which seems older than its four years. There's mooted talk of a recording session this September, and even more mooted chat about the return of our Graham. But another Blur record looks a bit of a long-shot.
The Postal Service
One record, one of the biggest-selling Sub Pop-released albums of all time. Somewhere between massive cult hit and quasi-mainstream crossover, Give Up _is better than all the Dntel and Deathcab records put together. Ever. No wonder everyone's waiting for a follow-up and, hell, even a couple of live shows would be awesome. There's talk of something appearing this year, but as ever, it's very, very quiet…
*Fischerspooner *
After the really-quite-good Odyssey _in 2005, the band were dropped by their label, Capitol/EMI. Unabated, we should be hearing something from the former electroclash duo before the end of this year. In the meantime, fans can sate themselves by clapping in time to their tracks which have recently appeared on Nip/Tuck.
Other people we want to know what's going on with: Roots Manuva, The Kills, Breeders, Cassius, Soundtrack Of Our Lives, Constantines and John Squire. Yes, John Squire…
DiScuss: Are you waiting impatiently for these bands to get themselves into gear? Who else do you miss? What's the most common reason for bands and artists taking such hiatuses? Do they need that long a holiday…?

Premier Christy Clark announced today the creation of a task force to review how skilled immigrants and foreign investors come to B.C. and Canada.
Led by Richmond-Steveston MLA John Yap, the nine-member group will consist of community and business leaders and will review the Provincial Nominee Program; the Federal Skilled Worker Program; the Canadian Experience Class; and the Federal Immigrant Investor Program.
The task force will assess the efficiency of each program, and will look at how to improve the federal government's responsiveness to immigration needs throughout Western Canada, the Premier told reporters gathered in Vancouver Thursday morning.
"We've laid out an ambitious plan to create jobs in the BC Jobs Plan and we will need skilled immigrants to help fill more than one million job openings expected over the next decade," Clark said, noting that current British Columbians are expected to account for only two-thirds of those positions. "We don't know yet, how we're going to fill those jobs," she said. The goal of the task force is to assess the current system and find ways attract more skilled workers every year.
To do that, task force members will meet with employers, industry and sector associations, settlement service providers, community associations and other relevant groups, Clark said.
"This is a province and a country that was built on immigration, and that hasn't changed," she said.
Clark declined to offer suggestions about the task force might discover, but said she'd like to see the elimination of federal caps on the Provincial Nominee Program — a program that channels educated, experienced, skilled workers swiftly into the economy and accelerates the process to secure permanent residency.
The group's first meeting is scheduled to happen next week, Yap said. "They're going to be busy over the next couple of months."
He said the team, which also includes former MP Stockwell Day, are participating on a volunteer basis and the government will cover the incidental costs of the initiative, which isn't expected to exceed $100,000.
A final public report will be submitted to the Premier by March 31, 2012.
Confirmed participants:
* John Yap, chair — Richmond-Steveston MLA
* Tung Chan (Richmond) — Former CEO SUCCESS/Chinese community leader
* Stockwell Day (Penticton) — Government Relations Consultant/former Minister/MP
* Yuen Pau Woo (North Vancouver) — CEO Asia Pacific Foundation
* Grace Wong (Vancouver) — Assistant Dean, UBC/Vice Chair SUCCESS
* Tim McEwan (Prince George) — CEO, Initiatives Prince George
* Suki Badh (Richmond) — College instructor/South Asian community leader
* Michael Hwang (New Westminster) — Principal lawyer of Hwang & Company/Founder and Partner of Amicus Lawyers
* Narindarpal Singh Kang (Vancouver) — Founder, Kang and Company Law Firm, specializing in Immigration Law

MWC 15 Special
Todd Saylor from SBSH Soft (maker of Papyrus for Smartphone and Pocket Breeze for Pocket PC) recently announced in SBSH's forum the development start of Facade for Smartphone.
Facade is a new Homescreen plug-in for Windows Mobile Smartphones. In the initial version the planned main features are: a schedule view, a tasks view, and a program launcher.
The goal of Facade is to present the information you need the most, right on your Homescreen and always available. Tabs are used to maximize the available screen space.
The public Beta isn't released yet nor is a final version release date given but the screenshot above looks promising enough to keep an eye on the forum.
Cheers ~ Arne

Designed specifically for a 1978 Chevy Camaro, this Classic Auto Air Perfect Fit ELITE™ system will convert your factory heat-only classic to full climate control. Like all Fully Electronic Classic Auto Air kits, each component was either specifically designed, or carefully chosen to fit your 1978 Chevy Camaro (that's why it's model-specific). A brand new D.E.R. (Direct Electronic Replacement) control is also available, which looks greats, works perfectly, and installs in your dash with no modifications.
All Classic Auto Air installation kits include detailed instructions to make installation a breeze. Plus, no special tools are required and you'll get the best warranty in the industry.
Your Perfect Fit ELITE™ kit comes complete with:
Perfect Fit ELITE™
This model specific
Perfect Fit ELITE™ system allows you to retrofit an original, standard, 1978 Camaro with full air-conditioning. Our system is engineered specifically to use the original 1978 Camaro heater or air conditioning controls using our simple EZ Cable integrators and EZ Wire system. The new fully electric
Perfect Fit ELITE™system uses our ECU to allow infinite adjustability over all modes, providing you with powerful air conditioning, heat on the floor, and dehumidified defrost. The air conditioning connects to new supplied vents and the defrost connects to new supplied defrost diffusers.
The 1978 Chevy Camaro
Perfect Fit ELITE™ air conditioning system is designed specifically to bolt into your 1978 Camaro with minimum modification to your vehicle. Each kit comes with detailed, easy-to-follow installation instructions and mounting template.
Classic Auto Air's
Perfect Fit ELITE™ model specific systems are not your typical, one-size-fits-all, low-quality, aftermarket air conditioning system. Every component was chosen for its superior design and quality rather than a low cost. Our RETROFIT designs give OE quality combined with better than original performance and reliability.
Perfect Fit ELITE™ 1978 Chevy Camaro air conditioning system is engineered to actually fit a 1978 Camaro, not a single unit that is adapted to fit a whole product line like our competitors. It comes equipped with carefully sized, large, separate A/C and Heat coils just like factory (OE) systems, not combined A/C/Heat coils often found on aftermarket systems. By using separate coils we improve the cooling and heating capacity of the total system. This makes you cooler much faster!
Another Exclusive… Full Insulated Evaporators: All Classic Auto Air evaporator cases are fully insulated. This simple innovation is a key factor in their unbeatable performance in both cooling your classic, and heating it.
Coils: All Classic Auto Air
systems are engineered with
carefully sized, large separate
A/C and Heat coils just like
factory (OE) systems. The
separate coils improve the
cooling and heating capacity
of the total system.
Model-Specific: What is "model
specific?"…it's a kit design
approach that sets Classic
Auto Air apart from all other
companies. Other companies
have a single evaporator design and they claim will fit
and cool regardless of vehicle size… let's be realistic – a
unit that can only adequately cool a small car is not going
to be able to cool a large car. That's why Classic has 10
different evaporator sizes and almost 70 configurations.
For your 1970-78 Camaro we also

Okay some have asked, so here it is...
This is the plan I intend to use this year, but I do have a disclaimer. As most teachers know a behavior management plan is always changing and always on going. I don't mean changing dramatically, but as you get to know your students, and the year progresses, you may need to tweak and adjust accordingly.
My plan has multiple parts to it because I include positive reinforcement in with my plan. If you start the year off with a strong plan and stick with it, it should work. Don't make exceptions and be tough! Otherwise they will walk all over you!
So let's start with the behavior/work folder. In my classroom I have two file folder pocket chart holders. I have them hanging side by side.
Above one of them I have cut out letters, Complete. Above the second: Not Complete. (Sorry no picture, but will put some up when I am back in my classroom). Each student has their own folder. These folders are used for work and behavior (I will post about how I collect work later, right now just focusing on behavior). Here is how I "decorate/label" the outside of them. On the tab I usually print the student's name and number, but this year I may use labels so that it stands out more.
Inside the folder I have a behavior chart, this chart is used by my entire grade level. It is something that we decided on as a group.
Now for a whole class incentive: if ALL students go an entire segment without flipping their counters to red, then they earn one extra minute "free time" (this could be recess time, choose your own center, puzzles, etc). By the end of the day my class would usually earn 5min of something. Most of them realized this wasn't a huge amount of time, so they began asking if they could "bank" their minutes. Pretty smart! So I had a picture of a little pig on the board, that if they chose, they could bank their minutes, but come Friday they had to use them. They loved it! They would then have to vote on how to use their minutes. We also had a to have a discussion that if one or two people flipped their counter they were not to yell at them, point fingers, and so on. That one day it could be them. Instead they were to help their fellow students, by reminding them to stop talking, or be on task, etc. After a good talk this seemed to work.
The counters were great last year, because I already had them and they were two sided. However, my problem was they kept falling off the desks. So I have been really trying to thing of an inexpensive way to do this, and possibly use Velcro on their desks. I did think of Popsicle sticks with a small square of Velcro on it, one side painted yellow or even green, and the other red. Then putting a small square of Velcro on their desk. I don't want to hang anything in the front of the room or on the board, I don't want to draw that much attention to each individual. If you have any suggestions please let me know. Also if you have any questions feel free to comment. I do think I included everything, but again this is a multi-part plan. Again if you have it in place before school, communicate with your parents and the students, it usually runs smoothly. Once back in my classroom I will take pictures of my different boards and such to help with the visualization of this plan.
Also, I do have these files as Adobe files, but I'm not sure how to link them or place them into my blog, so if anyone had suggestions please feel free to share.

Japan has three levels of government: national, prefectural and local. There are 47 prefectures in the country, with an average population of roughly 2.5 million in each prefecture. In that sense, Kyoto Prefecture has a fairly typical population profile, with most of its 2.6 million residents living in Kyoto City – Japan's ancient capital. However, Kyoto lies within the greater Osaka urban area, which is home to more than 16 million people, and ranks second only to the greater Tokyo urban area's 30 million-plus population. Proximity to such a large metropolitan conglomeration presents both challenges and opportunities when dealing with healthcare for the elderly.
Due to its super aging population and rapidly increasing healthcare costs, the Kyoto Prefectural Government recognized the need to find a solution that would address these issues by providing its elderly residents with cost-effective and comprehensive medical support services.
Fujitsu used its CRMate cloud service to develop the Secure Home Convalescence Hospital Registration System. This is the first system in Japan that provides an end-to-end support service to enable elderly residents to remain in their local communities for as long as possible.

Developing for Multiple Screens

[♪upbeat music♪] [ADOBE TV Presents...] [♪♪] [Paul Trani in...] [♪♪] [Adobe® Flash® Professional CS5 - Training with Trani] [♪♪] [♪♪] ...98, 99, 100. Oh, hi. Welcome to Training with Trani. My name is Paul Trani. Quite frankly, a really exciting area is dealing with multiple screens and specifically, mobile content. I'm going to show you how to do that using and actually just starting out with Device Central. So this of course is a great hub for any mobile content you might want to create. In particular, what I'm going to focus on is, as I scroll down, I'm going to focus on the Flash Player 10.1 release, which is actually more than just a dot release. It really is a big deal, optimizing a lot of this content for mobile devices. But as I scroll down, look at this slew of devices available. What you can do is you can always scroll to the various devices you might be interested in, maybe either one of these, and you can click on that item. Notice I picked the Nokia N95. Of course it gives me the statistics for this device. Honestly, hey, it's a great way to shop for a phone. What I actually want to do is just kind of jump up here to the Flash Player 10.1 for Multitouch. Very powerful. I can double click on that. It's a fairly generic device, as it says here, but know that I can eventually create an application or any sort of experience that can be deployed to those various market places. But again, this is what I want to start with is this Flash Player file. It's going to be a 320x240 file, and I can go ahead and click and see further details on this specific device. But in general, I'm just going to click Create, which is in the upper right-hand corner, and I'm going to make a Flash file right here. As you can see, I'm going to make a Flash file for this device. So again, I'll click that button in the lower right-hand corner, and it generates this file. As you can see, it's strictly just a straight up empty file, nothing fancy going on here thus far. In fact, all I really want to do is I'm just going to draw a shape right in here. I'll just draw a rectangle. I'm not going to get very fancy in here. I'm just showing you you can add content. But once you've created this whole experience in Flash based on some assets maybe you've already used for other places, you can use those same assets in here and maybe not publish to Flash but show me this in Device Central. So I'll do a Test Movie. Sure enough, it launches Device Central and gives me that graphic right here. It's great because I can go ahead and view the various statistics and different options for this device. But again, since this is just a rectangle, it's not particularly sexy, so let's check out something that has a little more sex appeal, if we could. I'll just jump in here to, say for instance, this project. More advanced, has a lot going on dealing with the subject matter. You can see that plenty is going on in this file. So what I want to do is go to Control, Test Movie, and test this in Device Central. So this just has sort of a mouse follow to it, but you can see it's going to be a better experience. You can see how these graphics perform. If you noticed the Timeline in Flash, it was just a much more advanced project. But now when I click, it will go ahead and follow the mouse just like that. This could be a desktop experience, this could be also, obviously, a multitouch smartphone experience as well. Pretty easy, so if I'm clicking, of course that's like a tab. So I'm going to go back into that file, and let's take a look at something a little more advanced because I want to go beyond something following your mouse. I want to go beyond it to showing you what you can do concerning using the Accelerometer. This is a multitouch function that you can go ahead and access. Not only can you write ActionScript for it, but you can go ahead and test that. here in Device Central. So it looks like the same experience, but now it's customized for context, the context of this experience. So now I want you to focus over here on the right-hand side. I'm given this Accelerometer. So if I click and drag, you can see my little character, my little white blood cell, move around based on this Accelerometer. Again, pretty simple to do, but it's great because it doesn't require me to have a smartphone or any hardware. I can test it all right in here. You might be interested in some of the other things such as the display. Again, when you get to creating graphics, is there any sort of reflection? This is what it would look like in an indoor setting, this is what it would look like in an outdoor setting. So you can kind of simulate all these different experiences. Whatever you want to sort of account for you can design to that using Flash Professional CS5 and of course Device Central. So again, fairly straightforward, didn't require any other devices for me to have in my pocket. But that's really just a preview of what Device Central has and also what you can do in Flash Professional CS5. So join me again next time. Again, my name is Paul Trani.

I really enjoy looking at a nice digital photo. Everything from a flower to a coke can if taken in an interesting angle. I suspect many other people are also fond of looking at a nice photograph. To that end I am creating this thread. Anyone out there with a digital camera, or a scanner nice enough to do justice to their normal photographs, please feel free to share in this thread.

While reading Game of Thrones during my commute through the city this morning, the sudden realization that this (everything that was happening at that very moment) was routine to me filled me with surprise.
Gaze drifting from my Kindle, it struck me; Only five months ago, I had shakily stepped foot onto San Francisco public transportation for the first time. Only five months ago, I knew absolutely no one in the city & had no one to call or meet up with for a night on the town. Five months ago, the grasp I had on my surroundings, what I was doing, where I was headed, or how I was going to get there was nonexistent.
But now?
Now I recognize obscure landmarks. Now I have friends to visit in their various apartments spread throughout this maze of one way streets and dizzy, hill-ridden neighborhoods. Now I've tasted
good amazing food and savor the difference between Pizza Hut & real Italian. Now I can read through a few chapters of my favorite book without having to repeatedly check the GPS on my iPhone to make sure I haven't missed my stop.
Do you have any idea how satisfying it is to feel like you're finally "home" somewhere?
I can barely remember what it's like to be trapped in that room in my parent's house, unable to go anywhere and only able to mingle with people I've known my entire life. I can barely remember what it's like to regularly visit my local Target or go on midnight runs to Taco Bell after a night of drinking at the local bar.
It's only been five months, I know, but San Francisco is my home now and it feels like I've been here forever.
I've come to understand so many things about myself that I never would have felt okay with if I hadn't moved out on my own like this.
For one, I used to think that staying home all day and playing video games was only something that I did because I had nothing else to do. I used to think that because I had no means of transportation, no one I really wanted to hang out with, and nothing to do in a small city, I resorted to planting myself in front of my TV with a PS3 controller in hand.
As it turns out, I just really fucking like video games.
I used to think that the only reason I stayed home all day like a hermit loner was because I didn't get along with any of the people in my very small hometown. I felt like I never left my house because there was no one nearby that I really clicked with or wanted to spend more than a couple of hours around.
As it turns out, I really do just prefer to be in solitude.
Even here in the city with so many people who have the same interests as me, I'd rather be in my room alone and staring at my ceiling than out getting into whatever crazy adventures would probably occur if I were to leave my girl-cave.
The only people who seem to be able to get me out of my room are Rich (my best friend here in the city who I probably mention almost every single day on my Twitter account, much to the annoyance of the friends who follow us both), and my amazing roomies, of course (pictured above with the glasses of boxed wine, bahaha).
But you really do have no idea how often I pretend that my phone is dead, or that I have something really important to do, or that I'm sleeping when someone tries to get me to hang out with them. I'm sure I've made a great deal of people feel incredibly insulted or unwanted by just plain ignoring them, but it's really not because I hate them. I swear.
It has more to do with me taking more of an interest in the books I'm reading, the video games I'm playing, or whatever else I'm into at that moment than with the idea that I hate people.
I don't hate people.
In fact, I'm actually very good with people.
And actually, it's been stated many times by those who have had the pleasure of meeting me that I am so incredibly fucking good at meeting, talking to, and developing relationships with people that I should really just make a goddamn living out of it.
But the fact is, given the choice, I prefer to be alone.
Alone, I can lay around like a slob in my bathrobe and not shower for 3 days straight, and no one will be any the wiser. … Uh, not that I do that or anything. /Cough. Alone, I can go brain dead to Channel 64, Entertainment Television for 8 hours, or flip the channel back and forth between Cartoon Network & Disney without anyone telling me to stop being ADD and pick something to watch. Alone, I can type as loudly as I want on my fucking keyboard WHILE blasting Selena Gomez music AND stuffing my face with chips & salsa, wine, and with my PS3 on in the background. Alone, nobody is whining for my attention or asking me what I think about this or requesting that or wanting this from me — I PREFER TO BE ALONE.
I guess I just feel like people want too much from me, and sometimes, all I want to do is just sit there and only worry about myself.
Allow me to stress that of course I enjoy spending time with other people, but for the most part, I'd rather just eat, shit, and sleep.
That's cool with you guys, right?
Living in San Francisco, I'm also dressing the way I want to without worrying about what the simple minded few might say when it comes to my personal style. I'm finally getting around to pulling pieces from my wardrobe that I've never worn, and proudly traipsing through the city in my fresh and carefully planned get-ups.
There's such a sense of freedom here to do whatever I want, be it laying around geeking out over Google Plus (which you should all add me on, by the way) to heading down to the local crepe shop to have dessert for breakfast. There's no lingering feeling of guilt when you fail to come home the night after partying, or crashing on someone's couch because you're far too smashed to do anything else.
There's always something to do here, always so much to see, always so many people to meet — San Francisco is incredible.
I suppose I love this city so much because it's the first place where I've ever really felt like an "adult". This is the first place where I've ever really felt like I can make all of my own decisions and not regret a single one. Even making a mistake here or there feels like a simple growing pain.
And you really can't believe how jealous I am of the people I've rubbed elbows with here who have managed to live their lives in so many different places. I've met so many brilliant friends and travelers in these five months alone — People who have been all over the world traveling to Brazil, France, Japan and beyond. I'm good friends with go-getters who own some of the most profitable news sites in the world from gaming to social media. I am regularly running into entrepreneurs and new CEO's of Tech Startups while also managing to form fast friendships with models, photographers, artists, and dreamers alike.
And while this all is incredibly exciting and new, it is, again, routine.
And I just can't believe that this is my life now.
So many people have told me that I seem like such a "SoCal" girl, but I really can't picture living anywhere else.
This is a city of networking, opportunity, creativity, and culture. This is Geek & Tech Hollywood with a splash of Fashion and a heaping spoonful of Amazing Food. This is where dreams are born and actually come true. THIS. IS.

Hey all. I'm really sorry that I've kinda been AFB (away from blog). In the past, I wasn't all that much of a blogger anyway but I appreciate that for some reason you are still hanging around here.. It's been 6 years since I started this blog.. All the way back on March 7, 2007 I posted my first post here.
Well, it wasn't really here.. I've moved around a bit since then. I started on WordPress.com and moved to self hosting at some point (there is a post on here about that somewhere). I then have most hosts a couple times I think. So, yeah, it's generally the same blog (although I did change the name from Asleep at the Wheel to Asleep at the WoW at some point). I've changed a bit over those 6 years, of course. My play style has changed. Lots of things have changed.
Having the podcast has definitely taken time away from the blog, but it really isn't an excuse. Mainly it's just that I don't really have any stories to tell. I guess I could go back to what I used to do but if I don't even find that interesting, why would anyone else. Given there have been all these expansions and patches and changes and such, you would think I would have stuff to write about too. And I guess I do. It's just more about finding time to sit and write it down. Not that it really takes me much time, I'm not much for editing or research (what's that?). I even write in a conversational style that generally doesn't take a lot of effort to do.
I really don't know what keeps me from writing. I just don't do it. I'm glad I remembered my Bloggiversary though (spell checker doesn't like that word). Having something like this be around for 6 years, even if I haven't updated all that much in the last 3 or so of those is pretty interesting to me. I hope you guys have been entertained over that time.
I'll take this opportunity to ask those of you that listen to TNB a favor. Twisted Nether is about to have it's 5 year anniversary (crazy!) and hit 200 episodes right around the same time. If you could please email or call or whatever and let us know what TNB means to you or just say hi or something we would really appreciate it. We'd love to have an episode that was just your emails and voicemails and clips and segments. The 5 year is in May and 200 episodes is 9 away.

I have a question regarding ergodicity in infinite dimensional spaces.
Let $\mathcal{D}$ be the space of distributions on a Schwartz space, and let $\mu$ be the white noise process which exists by the Bochner-Minlos theorem.
We can define the translation $\tau_x \phi$ of a distribution $\phi$ by: $$ \langle \tau_x \phi, \varphi \rangle = \langle \phi, \tau_x \varphi \rangle, $$ for all $\varphi \in C^\infty_c(\mathbb{R}^n)$, where $\tau_x \varphi$ is the usual translation of a function. The set of translations form a group acting on $\mathcal{D}$.
My first question is:
Is the group $\lbrace \tau_x : x\in \mathbb{R}^n \rbrace$ ergodic with respect to the white noise measure?
Now let $\varphi \in C^\infty_c(\mathbb{R}^n)$, then we can define the convolution $\varphi * \zeta(\omega)$, where $\zeta$ is a white-noise distributed variable. This is a $C^\infty$ random variable. My second question is:
Is $\varphi * \zeta(\omega)$ ergodic with respect to translations?
My intuition is that the first answer is true, and the second answer is "true, assuming the support is sufficiently small", but I don't even know what tools to use to tackle this problem.

LiLo is headed back to court, again.
A Los Angeles judge Thursday ordered troubled actress Lindsay Lohan to answer more questions about a 2007 car chase that landed her in jail, including inquiries about drug use at the time, The Associated Press reported.
Lohan's answers will be used in a civil lawsuit filed against the actress by a woman who claims she suffered emotional distress after the incident, which prompted a criminal case that still haunts the "Mean Girls" star.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Richard A. Stone ordered the 23-year-old starlet to sit for a two-hour deposition next month. The judge approved a request by Lohan's attorney to allow the questioning to happen after July 6, when a criminal judge will decide whether Lohan violated her probation by missing a court hearing in May.
Tracie Rice, who was a passenger in a car being chased by Lohan in July 2007, sued the actress for assault, negligence and intentional infliction of emotional distress a month later. The case is scheduled to go to trial in late July.
Lohan was charged with seven misdemeanors stemming from her arrest after the chase and another incident a few months earlier.
Rice's attorney, Paul Hoffman, argued Thursday that Lohan hadn't answered key questions about her drug use and whether she was remorseful, both of which could help his case.
"This case is about somebody who claims to be sober and had cocaine and blew a DUI for alcohol," Hoffman said. He said the questions would be crucial to a jury deciding whether Lohan should have to pay punitive damages if she is found liable.
Lohan's attorney, Ed McPherson, said the questions seemed aimed more at embarrassing Lohan in the press and could harm her if used at the probation hearing. He said Lohan sat for a daylong deposition during which she was subjected to numerous lines of questioning, including whether she had seen a recent "60 Minutes" episode featuring Al Pacino.
"It's clear they don't need answers to these questions," McPherson argued. He also said Lohan was busy focusing on the fulfilling the conditions of her criminal case and working.
"My client is undergoing weekly drug testing, alcohol classes and trying to film a movie," McPherson said. Stone said he would order a second deposition, but that attorneys should contact him if any issues arose rather than returning to court.
McPherson said after the hearing that his client would comply with the order and answer the questions about Lohan's past drug use. "I think it's a bit of overkill in this case," he said.
Lohan remains free on $200,000 bail – an amount the judge in her criminal case raised June 8 after her SCRAM bracelet went off at an MTV afterparty.
Last week, Lohan's lawyer said a urine test taken following the incident proved that she was not drinking at the time, according to E! Online.
Lohan reportedly faces up to six months behind bars if a judge decides she's violated the terms of her probation.

What's your sign? That's a question best left "for entertainment purposes only" (and maybe the bar at the Regal Beagle.) Scientifically, astrology is worthless. Other than for a wry chuckle there's no actual application for astrology or horoscopes. They're throwbacks from the days of pre-science, and even though astrology formed the foundations for modern-day astronomy (in that it got people studying the heavens and the locations of stars and planets before they had any idea what those points of light in the night sky actually are) there's no evidence that the stars, planets, or moons can influence our actions, our fates, or our daily lives in any way whatsoever.
It might be fun to classify yourself as one sign or another but the truth is the way you think, feel and behave have much more to do with your nature and nuture than where the Sun was in the sky on the day you were born.
Maybe it sounds like making a fuss over nothing but since there's a lot of people out there literally making a living off astrology and continuing a tradition of pseudo-science for their own personal financial gain – whether knowingly or not – I feel a little debunking of such misleading information has a place here on LITD.
"The intellectual foundations of astrology were swept away 300 years ago, and yet astrology is still taken seriously by a great many people."
– Carl Sagan, Cosmos
Don't believe me? That's fine… but first get some information from some very well-respected scientists and researchers (who know a thing or three about actual astrophysics):
Phil Plait's Bad Astronomy on Astrology: Astrology is Wrong.
Universe Today: Mars Can't Influence You
The Astronomical Society of the Pacific debunks astrology (and other falsehoods)
Another blog's article on debunking astrology (very good)
ADDED 6/25/14: Why Believing in Astrology is Not As Harmless As You Think by George Dvorsky on io9.com.
ADDED 8/7/15: A Study on Twins Debunks Astrology and the Knowle Astronomical Society vs. Astrology
And for even more fun check out some videos I've compiled:
Neil deGrasse Tyson on astrology:
Famed skeptic James Randi's classroom experiment on astrology:
Penn Jillette on astrology (language NSFW but quite on-point, as Penn usually is):
"Astrology is really first cousin to racism, because it judges people on how they were born and not on who they are."
– Penn Jillette
DNews on Why Astrology Isn't Real Science:
Richard Dawkins in Enemies of Reason:
"I believe astrology misleads the public, denies scientific progress, and belittles our Universe.There's a far richer way of looking at the cosmos: astronomy."– Richard Dawkins
John Stossel's report on astrology and "The Barnum Effect":
As I find more I'll share them here. (Because that's exactly what a Capricorn would do, right?)
And just to show I'm not a total party-pooper, here's some general information on the Western zodiac and the dates and critters typically involved:
Zodiac information and history (Wikipedia)
"Star-sign" dates (new and old):
- Capricorn: Jan. 20-Feb. 16 (Old: Dec. 22 – Jan. 20)
- Aquarius: Feb. 16-March 11 (Old: Jan. 21 – Feb. 19)
- Pisces: March 11-April 18 (Old: Feb. 20 – March 20)
- Aries: April 18-May 13 (Old: March 21 – April 20)
- Taurus: May 13-June 21 (Old: April 21 – May 21)
- Gemini: June 21-July 20 (Old: May 22 – June 21)
- Cancer: July 20-Aug. 10 (Old: June 22 – July 22)
- Leo: Aug. 10-Sept. 16 (Old: July 23 – Aug. 22)
- Virgo: Sept. 16-Oct. 30 (Old: Aug. 23 – Sept. 21)
- Libra: Oct. 30-Nov. 23 (Old: Sept. 22 – October 22)
- Scorpio: Nov. 23-Dec. 17 (Old: Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)
- Sagittarius: Dec. 17-Jan. 20 (Old: Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)
Then of course there's an xkcd comic that hits on what creator Randall Munroe calls "the Economic Argument:"
(Fun fact: The term "zodiac" derives from Latin zōdiacus, which in its turn comes from the Greek ζῳδιακὸς κύκλος (zōdiakos kuklos), meaning "circle of animals".)
Bottom line: astrology is NOT astronomy, even though the words may sound similar and may have meant the same thing to people hundreds of years ago. We have learned so much about our Universe in the centuries since then that the two are now as related as chemistry and alchemy.
"How happy are the astrologers if they tell one truth to a hundred lies, while other people lose all credibility if they tell one lie to a hundred truths."
– Papal advisor Francesco Guicciardini (1483-1540)
UPDATE Feb. 2014: Mother Jones has reported on a National Science Foundation poll that finds considerably less young Americans considering astrology as unscientific these days as compared to just a few years ago… actually, the least amount since the early 80s. That's scary, for many reasons. Read it here.

A couple weeks ago I did a post about making a few bucks by targeting a specific sport and offering the athletes a one of a kind Digital,photographic painting. Something with an ultra crisp image of the sportsperson doing their thing combined with a "painted" background. The last one was an OOB (Out of Bounds) interpretation with the rider breaking out of the "frame" of the painted area into the white of the canvas. It's one way to go. Today's image is another way to "see" a similar (it is a different rider) image. Rather than the OOB breakout it gives the rider a more open idea of what's going on. There are several considerations when "designing" (yes, you are altering a few conditions from the original image) a digital "painting". To find out what decisions were made to today's image, hit the "Read More".Read more!

Nebraska is now back-to-back champions of the Big 12 North.
This means that Nebraska will play in the last scheduled Big 12 Championship game. With our departing our ancient sisters in the old Missouri Valley and leaving to the old Western Conference, the Big 12 falls below the treshhold required to hold a championship game.
With yesterday's victory by Oklahoma over Oklahoma State, that last game will be played by ancient rivals OU and NU… the way it should end.
Go Huskers!

United States forward Christen Press (white) shoots on diving Australia goalkeeper Lydia Williams in an international friendly on October 20, 2013, at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. (Photo: Thomas B. Shea/isiphotos.com)
SAN ANTONIO, Texas – The United States got goals from four different players on Sunday to defeat visiting Australia 4-0 in a women's international friendly and extend its home unbeaten streak to 74 matches.
Lauren Holiday and Carli Lloyd scored early in the encounter, while Abby Wambach and Christen Press added second-half tallies in front of 19,109 spectators at the Alamodome.
For his first time as U.S. head coach, Tom Sermanni was pitted against an Australia side that he coached during two different stints over an 11-year span. In 24 all-time meetings, the Americans have never lost to Australia (22-2-0).
The host went ahead in the sixth minute through Lauren Holiday. A Becky Sauerbrunn free kick from near the right sideline was headed high by Australia, but not cleared. The ball fell to Holiday, whose attempt from just inside the penalty area deflected off an Australian defender and into the net for her 21st career goal.
Eight minutes later, the U.S. added to its lead when Alex Morgan slipped a partially deflected pass on the ground across the top of the penalty area for Lloyd to fire into the right side of the net for a 2-0 lead.
Undaunted, Australia did manage to produce scoring chances, mostly through forward Lisa De Vanna. U.S. goalkeeper Hope Solo was called upon to make four first-half saves, with three of them coming off the foot of the swift Sky Blue FC striker.
De Vanna had a breakaway in the second minute and her left-footed shot deflected off of Solo's glove, clipped the crossbar and went out of play. Solo also made a diving save to her left against De Vanna in the 20th minute and a quick reaction save with her left foot in the 27th minute.
In the 56th minute, the U.S. added to its advantage thanks to Wambach. The 33-year-old forward was able to reach a Lloyd chip and redirect the ball with the outside of her right foot into the net before Australia goalkeeper Lydia Williams could intervene.
Press completed the scoreline in the first minute of stoppage time, finding the upper right corner from seven-yards out after Morgan smartly dummied a left-sided cross from Heather O'Reilly.
The U.S. will return to action on October 28, facing New Zealand in San Francisco, California.
