I've become a bicycling addict. Since realizing in July 2009 that bicycling is a fantastic way to get rid of the excess weight I've been lugging around, I've ridden more than I ever thought possible—always with my iPhone mounted to the handlebars. Using MotionX-GPS, I tracked every ride I went on, watching my average speed and distance increase gradually over the months.
But for a cyclist, a GPS only goes so far, as it tells you little about how you're riding. There's no cadence feedback. That's why I was intrigued by the LiveRider, which turns any iPhone or iPod touch into a cycling computer via a 2.4GHz "cycling computer dongle" that plugs into the base of your device.
Manufactured by New Potato Technologies, the $99 LiveRider comes with the aforementioned dongle, an iPhone holder that mounts to your bicycle's handlebars, a transceiver unit that's mounted to the frame of the bike, and a pair of magnetic sensors for your back wheel and spokes. There's also a free companion app for your iOS device that you'll run during your rides.
I found setup to be fairly easy. The LiveRider app's setup function includes photos that walk you through the process. Aside from the dongle, the rest of hardware attaches to your bicycle with the provided zip ties, which come in two different sizes. The smaller ones are meant for the speed and cadence sensors and the larger ones are for the iPhone holder and frame transceiver. Unfortunately, that's not spelled out in the instructions, so by the time I got around to mounting the iPhone holder on my handlebar, I was down to only a single large zip tie—I broke a couple and used large ones where I should have used small ones during the installation process.
I had some problems attaching the cadence sensor, an issue that may be specific to my bicycle. I ride a 2009 Trek XO2, which is a cyclecross bike (tweaked a bit to make it more road friendly, including smooth tires). The sensor is supposed to be mounted as close to the pedal-crank interface as possible, but the crank on my XO2 is just too thick to go there, even with the smaller sensor. I also had a bit of trouble getting the transceiver mounted on the frame due to the thickness, but I managed to get it on there.
At least the spoke sensor went on with no problem, but the cadence sensor was a tight fit. If the sensor was mounted even a fraction of an inch in either direction up or down the crank, it would rub against the frame with each revolution. Getting it just right was difficult, but avoided an annoying "tick" with each revolution of the pedals.
With the sensors and transceiver mounted, it was time for setup. The LiveRider app allows you to set up multiple bikes, which is nice if you've got a road and mountain bike you switch between. You name your bike, pair with your transceiver (which takes around 20 seconds), enter your weight, and select your wheel size from the menu. Unfortunately, my XO2's wheel size (700 x 34) wasn't one of the many options, so I selected 700 x 35. I checked with New Potato and was told that I had made the correct selection and that a manual entry option would be coming via a future software update.
I had some concerns that I didn't have the sensors optimally positioned as per the manual and that the data would be off. So before starting off on my first ride, I launched MotionX-GPS so I'd have a pure GPS track to compare LiveRider against (LiveRider relies solely on the sensors for speed and distance). For the ride shown above, MotionX-GPS reported a distance of 18.2mi and an average speed of 17.6mph—that's close enough for me.
The interface for LiveRider is clean and easy to read, although it is a bit unintuitive in places. You change screens by swiping the green bar to the left or right. There are small arrows in the silver bevels at either end of the bar to cue the user that swiping is an option, but that wasn't readily apparent to me.
When you're ready to take off, swipe from the main screen and select "New Ride." Hit the green bar and the app begins displaying your speed, cadence, miles traveled, and the elapsed time of your ride. Swipe upwards and it will show you your pace, calories burned, watts expended, max speed, and average speed. There's also a chase mode that allows you to try to match the pace you set on an earlier ride.
It's easy to see the numbers as you ride. They're big and white, so you don't need to take your eyes off the road for more than a moment to check your speed. I'm used to the interface of MotionX-GPS, and both apps give you both about the same amount of information at a glance, but the start-stop button on MotionX-GPS turns from green to red once you start the track. In contrast, LiveRider's green bar remains green with the text inside changing, and it would take me a couple seconds to discern whether it was running or not.
LiveRider automatically saves your ride, which you can then access from the "Saved Rides" menu. Unfortunately, the only option for sharing your ride is e-mail, and when I tried it, I got a 546KB text file with a massive amount of data I couldn't easily parse.
What I didn't get was a summary of the ride—distance, time, average speed, and top speed. I have MotionX-GPS set to e-mail me a summary of my ride along with a link to view the ride on Google Maps and a file to view it via Google Earth. You can also have your rides posted to Facebook and Twitter, although auto-tweeting your rides leaves you vulnerable to ribbing from your boss. LiveRider has no mapping functionality at this point, although I am told that, too, is coming in a future release.
If you're a serious cyclist, own an iPhone or iPod, and want more data about your ride, LiveRider might be worth your money. If you already have a cycling commuter, it's not going to bring much new to the table. In fact, if your cycling computer has a heart monitor built in, you'll actually be losing functionality. If you're just interested in seeing how far you rode, how fast you rode, and sharing that on Facebook, MotionX-GPS will do that for a fraction of the price.
What LiveRider brings to the table is a good dose of cycling-specific data that can be very useful. If version 2.0 of the software can bring in more sharing functionality and integrate GPS into the mix, I'd be really excited about it. Tweak the dongle so it can sync with my heart rate monitor? That would be fantastic.
If you already have a cycling computer, there's not much in LiveRider to justify the $99 price tag. If you're in the market for one and you already own an iPod touch or iPhone, LiveRider will get the job done very nicely and offers potential for more functionality down the road.

However Many Were Killed, Save That Many People
Xuan Tian Ming's words were like a pill that set Feng Yu Heng's mind at ease. Her emotions gradually calmed down, and she turned her gaze to the refugees. She no longer felt afraid. Everything relied on human effort. No matter how great the difficulty, they just needed to take it on together. She had already said that she would help protect this country. With her here, the world would not descend into chaos. Even if there was an epidemic, it would not spread!
Feng Yu Heng raised her head and looked at Xuan Tian Ming, her gaze becoming resolute. In fact, she curled up the corners of her lips into a smile, loudly saying: "I'm not scared!"
Xuan Tian Ming laughed then let out a laugh and suddenly exercised his inner force. He shouted loudly down at the people near the city's gates: "All soldiers, heed my orders!"
This shout broke through the rain and sounded like thunder. Even the booms caused by the refugees slamming the gate was suppressed.
Everyone looked up. The soldiers stood with solemn expressions, while the refugees also stopped their ramming. The people that had been lying down all sat up, while the people that had been praying put down their hands. For a while, everyone turned their attention to the top of the city walls. Although they could not clearly see what sort of person was standing there, they knew that anyone capable of shouting through this rain was not a normal person.
While everyone was watching him, Xuan Tian Ming spoke up once more. It was full of power; however, it caused everyone to feel shocked because he said: "Surround the city's gates and arrest everyone that was ramming the city's gates!"
The soldiers had been irritated by these refugees long ago, but they were afraid that they would arouse even more of the people's wrath. That was why they endured time and time again. Now that Xuan Tian Ming gave the order, the soldiers did not continue to have any worries. The force that they had been suppressing was instantly revealed. After just a moment, the refugees that had been causing trouble were completely suppressed in an encirclement.
Feng Yu Heng recognized them. Outside the city, the majority of the soldiers were from the military camp. Naturally, they would be stronger than the guards of the city.
The refugees that did not rush forward saw that these people had been stopped and wanted to go forward to help them. Unfortunately, those that did not participate in the ramming of the wall were old, weak, women or children. How could they have even the slightest bit of combat power. Some of them were not even able to stand up. They could only look up at the top of the city's walls. At the same time, they all had the same thoughts in their minds: Will we be killed?
Xuan Tian Ming welcomed the gazes of everyone down below without a trace of fear. He just reached out and pointed at the people that had been surrounded and loudly said: "You should be able to see it. Da Shun's soldiers only need to move a little bit, and they are able to completely stop you. This city gate is used to defend against foreign enemies. This prince thought that there might come a day when the ruler of a foreign country might try and knock down this gate; however, I never thought that the people of Da Shun would be the ones to do it."
His words left everyone feeling dissatisfied. They all began shouting, and it sounded very messy; however, a few words would occasionally be heard. Feng Yu Heng heard the citizens say: Why do Da Shun's city gates not let Da Shun's people enter? Our homes are gone, but why does the capital not take us in? Which prince are you? Will you kill us?
She turned to look at Xuan Tian Ming. His face was covered by the golden mask, which hid all of his emotions; however, the purple lotus flower between his eyebrows became darker and darker. She knew that the darker the lotus flower became, the more turbulent Xuan Tian Ming's emotions were. They held their hands tighter, and she could practically feel the difficulty in his heart. Those people down below were his citizens!
"There is not a single person that will try to kill you!" Finally, Xuan Tian Ming spoke up once more, "Listen well. This prince is the ninth prince of Da Shun, Xuan Tian Ming. On this day, I shall make an oath to you. His Majesty loves the citizens as much as he loves his children. I, Xuan Tian Ming, will shoulder this burden with all of you comrades that have met with this calamity. All of the trouble that you have encountered, this prince will face them with you. Although you cannot enter the capital, this prince will bring county princess Ji An along with imperial daughter Wu Yang out of the city to build you shelters, provide you with food, treat your injuries and help you get through this disaster. Do not worry, your ruined homes will be taken care of by the court. After four days, when this rain has stopped, this prince will personally send you home. How does that sound?"
The voice that was amplified using his inner strength was like a large bell. Every word entered their ears and hearts. Those people that had already begun to despair suddenly found a pillar of support. The hopes that had been washed away by the torrential rains had been raised once again.
Xuan Tian Ming said: "In a moment, we will open the city gates so that we can get out to save you. Whether you decide to trust this prince or continue to try and charge into the city, that will be left to you to decide." After he finished speaking, he did not remain on top of the city wall. Pulling Feng Yu Heng with one hand and his younger sister, Xuan Tian Ge, in the other, he quickly descended from the city wall with Bai Fu Rong, Wang Chuan, Huang Quan and ghost doctor Song Kang, who had been staying at the Yu Palace, following behind them.
Some soldiers pulled the gate open. In that instant, everyone was on alert. Even Xuan Tian Ming did not dare guarantee that the refugees outside definitely would not rush in. Xuan Tian Ge was even trembling slightly. Staring straight ahead, she was afraid of the slightest movement.
However, the refugees were kind and respectful. They also knew that even if they rushed into the city, it would be useless. Could it be that they would go in to loot and plunder? To go into the houses of other citizens and steal their food? They would no longer be refugees. Instead, they would be mobsters. Da Shun could save refugees, but they definitely would not show a shred of mercy for mobsters.
Everyone was very clear, as they all stood in place. Nobody moved until Xuan Tian Ming, Feng Yu Heng and everyone else walked out. Only after all of the carriages and imperial carriages carrying items were outside the city did the gate slowly close once more. With a boom, it left the ninth prince, county princess Ji An and imperial daughter Wu Yang outside the city.
Feng Yu Heng stood at Xuan Tian Ming's side and suddenly began smiling. She copied the way Xuan Tian Ming had used his inner strength and loudly said: "Now, we are together!"
Unfortunately, her inner strength was not as plentiful as Xuan Tian Ming, and she only managed to convey her words to half of the people. The people that were further away could not hear what she had said.
Thus Xuan Tian Ming simply repeated her message, "County princess said, now, we are together!"
Suddenly, a cheer exploded from the crowd! Nobody knew why they were cheering. They had not yet seen any food, nor were they laying down in a shelter. Just by seeing the ninth prince and county princess Ji An standing here, they felt oddly at ease. They all kneeled, repeatedly kowtowing. They all said that the heavens had eyes.
A woman suddenly asked: "County princess Ji An, isn't that the divine doctor of the capital? Can you save my child? His body is very hot, and he's about to die!"
Once this was said, countless people immediately agreed. There were too many sick and injured!
Xuan Tian Ming quickly told everyone: "Don't rush. Right now, we are still in the process of building shelters. I can guarantee that everyone will be able to stay in a shelter. County princess brought enough medicine out, and imperial daughter Wu Yang brought out enough food. We will be opening a temporary medical clinic and congee stand. Everyone will have three bowls of congee each day. The children and the sick will be given an extra bowl. Do not become disorderly. The soldiers will lead you to get food. The Board of Astronomy has reported that the torrential rains will end in four days. All of your difficulties will have passed!"
Xuan Tian Ming was the pillar of support for these refugees. They listened to anything that he said. The soldiers had already begun building shelters. The shelters were extremely large, with each one being able to fit nearly 100 people. After one shelter was completed, soldiers began moving people in. All of the women that were brought in were also given raincoats that Feng Yu Heng had brought. At the same time, they told people that clean clothes were being prepared. They would be sent by the next day at the latest.
Xuan Tian Ming built three big command posts outside the city. One was for a kitchen, with Xuan Tian Ge and Bai Fu Rong taking care of food preparation. Another was for a medical clinic. It was mainly used to house the medicine that Feng yu Heng had brought, and it was used for medical treatment. And the last one was used to rest. In the face of the natural disaster, there was much less order. The command tent and beds were placed in the same building. They simply decided that they would sleep in their clothes, and none should dislike the other.
The matter was most terrifying when looked at. The more one looked, the more tiring it was. The more one looked, the more one felt that it was impossible to complete. That was why matters had to be worked on. The eyes were lazy, while hands were hard workers. It seemed that the hard work of the 5000 soldiers and few hundred guards would allow for the shelters to be constructed. Feng Yu heng also provided a large number of raincoats. The soldiers then covered the shelters with them to ensure that they would not leak.
The refugees entered the shelters. The injured or slightly more seriously ill were carried to Feng Yu Heng's medical room. The soldiers saw that the raincoats worn by the girls were very practical, thus they asked Feng Yu Heng if she had any more. Feng Yu Heng helplessly told them: "They are all in girls' sizes. Unless there was a smaller man, they really would not fit."
She felt helpless. If she knew sooner that she would be transmigrated, she definitely would have filled her space with a few more things, and she would not be in her current situation, where she would not be able to provide the men with raincoats.
Xuan Tian Ge prepared ten large pots of congee, thus Wang Chuan and Huang Quan were sent to help. Xuan Tian Ming had already led the soldiers back into the rain to build more shelters. He had to enter each shelter one by one to reassure the people inside.
At this moment, Feng Yu Heng's helper was ghost doctor Song Kang. The injured were brought in one after another. Feng Yu Heng brought out stethoscopes, equipment for infusions, all kinds of Western medicine along with all kinds of needles and placed them on a bench. She told Song Kang: "I did not keep you alive for no reason. Didn't you want to learn medicine from me? Do you see this? With these refugees, I will show you the most basic treatment methods. I will also tell you what these medicines will work on. I will also have you learn how to perform an intramuscular injection and how to set up an infusion. When you have learned these things, put on a medical backpack and go out to save people. However many people you killed in the past, save ten times as many people. I will send someone to go count for you. When you have saved enough people, I, Feng Yu Heng, will accept you as a disciple!"

ETA 2892-A2 versus the 2824-2, 2892 vs 2824
Let's talk about Swiss watch movements, specifically the 2824 and the 2892. The two most common mechanical Swiss movements you'll find today are from a company called ETA, a subsidiary of the Swatch group. The 2824-2 and 2892-A2 movements are about as common as Goodyear or Bridgestone tires. Meaning you'll find them in the majority of watches sold by reputable makers who are not using their own in house movements. I'm making a tire comparison here because at the levels that these base movements are offered at, they mostly provide reliable un-astonishing performance. Much like OEM tires supplied by most major car makers.
ETA was actually part of a watch company called Eterna, hence ET(ern)A. ETA was born to produce just the movements. ETA produces a wide variety of movements from the Swatch group because they swallowed smaller movement makers like Valjoux and Unitas.
ETA makes an impressive set of thermo-compensated quartz movements and advanced mechanical movements like the Omega 8500. The best quartz movements ETA produces can compete with the the best quartz movements from Seiko/Citizen and the best mechanical movements ETA produces can compete with the best mass production pieces that a top tier maker like JLC can make. In terms of technical sophistication, quality, reliability, and accuracy – nobody can out compete ETA for mass production pieces .
The basis for the ubiquitous 2824 and 2892 are both quite old. They're not revolutionary pieces but highly evolved and well tested movements. The key difference between the two are height. In the later half of the 20th century, it became very fashionable to have the thinnest watch possible. Before the advent and mass adoption of quartz watches, this was an arms race between watchmakers to see who had the best know how and technical savvy to produce the thinnest movements. For this reason, there is a perception in movements that a 2892-A2 (which is 1mm thinner than the 2824-2), is a superior movement. In many ways this is correct and in a small way, it is wrong.
- The 2824 and 2892 can be ordered in different grades of quality: Standard, Elabore, Top, Chronometer
- The differences in grades can range from quality of materials used to level of testing and regulation
- Most 2824 movements you find will be of the lowest grade as they were the most widely produced. Even in lowest grade, it's still a very good movement.
- The lowest grade of 2892 utilizes better shock protection and better finishing and materials than the lowest grade of 2824.
- Unless specifically stated by the watch maker what grade of movement is used, assume lowest.
- At the top grades, some people consider the 2824 to be more robust albeit at the expense of being thicker. Some designs, especially today with "turnip" sized watches can accommodate for this 1mm thickness (significant) difference.
- It's sometimes mistakenly implied that the 2892-A2 is a significantly newer design than the 2824, both trace their roots far back. The 2892 from Eterna and the 2824 from back when ETA used to be part of Eterna.
- At top levels, both can be made equally accurate
Generally however, most high end makers will use 2892A2 or a derivative of the 2892 simply from market impressions that the 2892 is superior regardless of grade. The thin 2892 is also well suited to act as a "tractor" for complications to be placed on top of it. This is commonly done for chronographs and ETA even produces a variant called the 2894 with 37 jewels which is most famously used in Bell & Ross watches specifically for chronograph duties.
It should be said though that the ETA 2824-2 and 28236 (Day Date complication) which can sometimes be found in the $80 (2009) range is good value even at the lowest grade. Keep in mind however, the ETA 2836 and 2824 are the most commonly contracted out movement to Asian factories. That is, ETA licensed Asian factories to produce the 2824 and 2836. I don't necessarily see a quality problem with an Asian produced ETA movement, however, I would be more wary of long term viability. Given the choice between a Swiss made vs a Chinese made 2824, I'd choose the first. To bring the car comparison, I'd prefer a BMW made in Munich, not one of their factories in South Carolinas. I know logically BMW/ETA makes sure the quality is there but it's just not the same.
When you compare current ETA movements to a Seiko or a Miyota/Citizen automatic movement you get a more efficient bi directional winding system, hacking, hand winding, 28k beat, and it's generally more accurate by a few factors out of the box. I would always pick an ETA designed and made movement over an Asian movement in this price class.
Robustness between the 2824 and 2892 is debatable since nobody has done a serious test of how much abuse each movement can take before they give up or when timing is severely affected. The 2824 does have some parts that make it more tolerant of shock but if you look at the most commonly failed part from shock, you're better off with a 2892. If I was forced to take a guess, I would assume that at the top grade, their tolerance for abuse is nearly the same with an edge to the 2892 for better long term viability in terms of neglect of service. At the lowest available grades, the 2892 will be more robust and abuse tolerant since it's simply not available in the lowest grades that the 2824 is commonly sold at.
In terms of accuracy, the lowest grade again, you're worse off with a 2824, at the Top grade or Chronometer, there is no difference. At Elabore grade, you'll find better performance from the 2892 on average.
Some watch companies take the standard 2892-A2 or 2824-2 and make no modifications and pop it into their watches. Its rumored that Breitling actually makes physical improvements to the watches but no solid proof yet from a disassembled Breitling movement. The Omega 1120 which is derived from the 2892A2 also has some improvements like the addition of some jewels and I believe one or two other improvements besides decoration. IWC takes a trans-formative approach that I think warrants them being able to name it their own movement in a small way. Of course the Omega 2500C which is produced by ETA is a 2892 with the revolutionary coaxial escapement. In this transformation it was also thickened considerably and made quite a bit more complex. (Note: It has been rumored lately that IWC has been receiving finished movements from ETA since 2007. IWC would provide the specs to ETA, and ETA would provide finished movements that IWC would place directly into the watch with no further adjustments by IWC.)
Here are the differences between the grades of movements available.
Recommend Reading:
I guess we can't end without saying that it's been announced by ETA that it will no longer be supplying movements outside of the Swatch group. This has since been revised so that they will continue to supply big firms like IWC and the Breitlings of the world. However, the availability of movements to small companies like Bathys or Christopher Ward might come into question. In fact both companies use a clone of the ETA 2824 in their watches, the Sellita SW200. http://ablogtoread.com/general/making-sense-of-the-sellita-sw200-movement-same-as-eta-2824-2/
This has also compelled companies like Orange Watch Company to only use non ETA movements like the amazing Soprod A-10 and Chinese movements.
If the Swatch group is doing this out of benevolence and concern for the Swiss watch market, I sympathize. Swiss mechanical watches almost died because of a lack of innovation in the field prompted by the onslaught of Japanese quartz. It makes some sense that they don't want to be the 800 pound gorilla anymore and want other movement makers to step up and take their place. Breitling has done so with making their own B01 movement. While I don't think it's a complete clean sheet design, it's at least a first step that I hope other storied watch companies will take.

Eoin Is Honoured
Recently retired Tipperary hurler, Eoin Kelly was accorded a civic reception by the members of the Carrick-on-Suir Municipal district of Tipperary Co. Council. The reception was held in Mullinahone and was chaired by Eddie O'Meara, M.C.C. Ballydonnell, a neighbour of the Kelly family and current Chairman of the Carrick-on-Suir Municipal area. his reception was only the second ever to be held outside the county buildings and was the first ever accorded by the Carrick-on-Suir Municipal area.
The size of the attendance which flocked to the Mullinahone C.J.Kickhams GAA Centre and the content of the many speeches made at the reception attested to the huge esteem in which hurling legend, Eoin Kelly is held both inside and outside Tipperary. A very nice touch was lent to the proceedings when a copy of the poem "Tribute to Eoin Kelly" composed by local poet, Joe Tobin was left for every person who attended, as a souvenir of an historic occasion.
In the Tipperary Yearbook of 1991, in an article entitled "Four points short of senior status", the following was written. "Our U12 side had one very bright prospect. He will still be eligible for minor in the year 2000". It was a pointer to what was to come. The following year 1991, Eoin won his first Tipperary medal when he captained the U10 Mullinahone team which won the County Community Games football title and reached the Munster Final. Starting in 1997, at the age of 15, Eoin has won 10 South Tipp. senior hurling medals.
Another win would give him 11medals which is the South Tipp record currently held in Carrick-on-Suir In a fine acceptance speech, Eoin thanked his own family and the large crowd who had turned out to support him and the Council who accorded him the honour of a civic reception. Eoins wife, Sarah, was presented with a bouquet of flowers. Eddie O'Meara MCC was an excellent host of the reception and master of ceremonies. All who attended were then provided with refreshments and the curtain came down on yet another great Mullinahone night.
We will welcome our new Archbishop, Kieran O'Reilly to Mullinahone on this Thursday, 26th March to administer the Sacrament of Confirmation to 50 pupils in our 3 Primary Schools. The ceremony will begin in St. Michael's Church at 11am. All are welcome.

Tipperary GAA Draw Winners
Local GAA Club has been rather lucky in some recent Tipperary GAA draws. Biggest winner was Breda Ryan of Kyleaduhir who won a car in the last monthly draw. Congratulations to Breda and also to Tommy O'Sullivan who won a promoters prize.
Local Lotto Jackpot
The last local lotto jackpot draw took place on Monday March 16th. The numbers drawn were 2,10,11 and 26. We didn't have a jackpot winner, but 3 winners shared the Match 3 prize of €150. Congrats to Aidan McGrath, Nicola McInerney and Maura + Áine. Next draw will take place on March 30th when the jackpot could be worth €10,900. Now wouldn't that be a lovely Easter Egg. A Good Win
Our senior hurlers were in action on Sunday morning last in the local sports field. After an exciting game, they came from behind to send the game to extra time against Moneygall. The score after 60 minutes was Moneygall 3-10, C.J. Kickhams 1-16. We got on top in extra time and ran out 2-23 to 3-13 winners over the Obamamen. It was a lovely morning and our pitch was in good condition. What a pity more supporters weren't present to see an improved display. We have now qualified for the semi-final of the Dr. Fogarty Cup.

Lawmakers debate 'look, listen but don't copy' law
HARTFORD -- The General Assembly is considering a bill inspired by the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings that would allow the public to see homicide photos and listen to 911 tapes, but not necessarily take those records home.
Dubbed the "look, listen, but don't copy law," families of murder victims would be notified when 911 tapes and photos relating to that crime were requested. The families could cite an "unwarranted invasion of personal privacy" to block release of the records.
Those requesting records -- whether members of the media or the public -- could still view photos and listen to audio recordings at a government office. But if they want copies, they would have to show there is no invasion of privacy.
"This is a compromise," said Chief State's Attorney Kevin Kane, who served on a Task Force for Victim Privacy and the Public's Right to Know after the Newtown shootings. The task force's recommendations are the basis of the proposed law.
"We agreed that a person can view the photos and if they need to go forward, they are free to argue that. The Newtown families are upset about someone being able to look at the photos," Kane said.
The proposed bill would amend a law adopted last year that effectively blocked release of homicide crime scene photos in wake of the school shootings, which claimed the lives of 20 young children and six adults, by adding a personal-privacy exemption to state Freedom of Information law.
During public hearings on Monday before the Judiciary and the General Administration and Elections committees, supporters of the bill said the Internet-driven world requires protection from websites that would post images of the bodies of bullet-riddled children.
Opponents argued certain records must be accessible in order to review how law enforcement and government carry out their responsibilities.
Attorney Morgan Rueckert, who represents the families of the 26 Sandy Hook victims, said the families oppose the bill because it opens the door to view and possibly obtain horrific photos sealed by the bill passed last year.
"To us, and the families of all homicide victims, these are not public records -- they are pictures of our family members in their final horrific moments," Rueckert said.
This bill "seeks to undo all that we accomplished and would take away the protection families of homicide victims now hold. It flies in the face of all you just did last year. Under the bill, anyone could look through the photographs taken inside Sandy Hook School on Dec. 14, 2012," Rueckert said.
He said if the bill is adopted, it should apply only to future crimes, not past ones.
State Sen. Leonard Fasano, R-North Haven and a privacy task force member, said the law at least opens homicide crime scene photos and audio tapes to public inspection.
"Currently, the ban is you can't look at the pictures," Fasano said. "You get to see it under this. But there is no reason to broadcast it on the Internet. If you find some compelling reason why it should be released, you can proceed accordingly. We are talking about only homicide cases."
Fasano cited the example of a family who wanted a mug shot removed from a website after charges were dismissed against their son. They were told it would cost $150 to remove the picture.
"I have respect for our mainstream media. But we are in a different world. There is no difference under the law between a blogger and NBC news in terms of obtaining pictures. This is what this responds to," Fasano said.
But Claude Albert, legislative chairman of the Connecticut Council on Freedom of Information, said the public good requires a way to expose mistakes, inadequacies and misconduct.
"There are homicide cases where police response should be evaluated, where the handling of an investigation or a decision not to prosecute is suspect or where a shooting by police is questioned. When those cases arise, the public should be allowed to see and hear the best evidence in the search for the truth," Albert said.
"This will create an expectation of privacy that will be reversed on appeal," said Senate President Donald Williams.
"By waiting weeks or months for an appeal, or years if it goes to court, those who want to keep this information secret will have succeeded. When information is withheld and later broadcast the new round of stories maybe more hurtful to the victims," Williams said.
Mary Schwind, managing director for the state Freedom of Information Commission, said the bill would "significantly alter" FOI law without a reason.
"The law is not broken. The FOI act has nothing to do with those who bother the families. Even if this is adopted, reporters will still try to get interviews. Victims and their survivors will still be bothered. The Internet is a fact of life. What the recommendation seeks to do is legislate good taste and decency. That is difficult to do," Schwind said.
Still, Gavin Ambrose, the state's' victim advocate, said there are few laws that give consideration to victims.
"The bill strikes an appropriate balance between victims and the public's right to know by regulating disclosure of law enforcement and other government records containing the image of a homicide victim, a 911 recording or other calls made for assistance," Ambrose said.

Do-it-yourself outdoor lighting
A fan of low-voltage residential lighting, I use it in my landscaping and gardens as well. A big advantage of low-voltage lighting is you can install it yourself and eliminate professional installation expenses. There is a huge variety of styles available at most home centers and hardware stores.
Another related advantage is safety. With low-voltage lighting, the wires on the ground carry only 12 volts. You will not be shocked if you accidentally nick one while working in the garden.
The energy efficiency of low-voltage lighting is fairly similar to standard line-voltage (120 volts) outdoor lighting. There may be slightly more electricity used because of transformer inefficiencies and higher current in the wiring, but it is not a significant difference for most systems. If you are interested in brightly lighting a large area, line-voltage lighting fixtures, such as low pressure sodium, are your most efficient choice.
The newest and most energy efficient low-voltage landscaping lighting uses super-efficient LEDs (light emitting diodes) instead of standard incandescent bulbs. This type of lighting technology is becoming more common even for standard indoor lamps.
LEDs are still considerably more expensive than other lighting alternatives, but they use less than one-fifth as much electricity as equivalent incandescent bulbs. They also last at least 10 times longer. The light from LEDs is more directional than from incandescent bulbs, so multiple LEDs are often used inside one fixture for broader lighting patterns and brightness.
Each low-voltage LED fixture may use as little as one watt of electricity compared to about 11 watts from a typical snap-in, wedge-base, low-voltage bulb. Some of the brighter fixtures, such as bollards, use a two-watt LED, and floodlights use three LEDs. The light quality from LEDs is very white and pleasing.
The most difficult part of installing a low-voltage lighting system is making sure the total wattage of the all the fixtures on a line does not exceed the rated output of the transformer. The maximum 12-volt output wattage will be listed on the transformer, and the instructions for the fixtures should list their individual wattages.
If you buy a prepackaged low-voltage lighting kit, it will include the proper size transformer for the number and types of lights. If you add more or assemble your own lighting kit, be careful not to exceed the transformer's output maximum or ever go above 300 watts. If a lighting layout requires more than 300 watts, do not connect two transformers together. Set up two separate wiring layouts to stay below 300 watts on each.
When purchasing a low-voltage system or the components to put your own system together, select a transformer with a built-in mechanical or electronic timer or photo-eye control. These are common in many kits. With a timer, there is no chance of leaving the lights on all night and wasting electricity.
The most convenient are photo-eye controlled transformers. With a standard mechanical timer, if the electric power goes off temporarily, the timer motor also stops so the on/off sequence will be incorrect and need to be reset. A photo-eye control has many sequencing options. One of the more convenient and efficient is "on" at dusk, "off" in a set number of hours (six, eight, etc.).
To edge a path, snap-together lighted plastic simulated bricks are effective. The electrical connectors are built into the bricks so you have to run wiring to only the first brick along the edge. To light a deck, several decking material manufacturers offer built-in post and baluster lights with hidden wiring.

I wonder if anybody can help me with this problem.
I'm trying to compute the Mertens function for large $n$. The most obvious algorithm is just to compute all primes up to $\sqrt{n}$ and then to sieve. That takes at least an order of $n\log n$ operations, and really even more.
The most recent article that I could find that discusses methods to compute the function directly is dated 1994, and it proposes to do exactly that.
Are there any known algorithms that let you compute Mertens faster than by sieving? I know that $\pi(n)$ can be computed in $O(n^{2/3})$, I looked into that algorithm but it does not seem to be easily adaptable to my task.
Alternatively, I could use an algorithm to compute $M(n+dn)-M(n)$ for $dn\ll n$ (say $dn\sim \sqrt{n}$ ) in $O(\sqrt{n})$ time or less.

Dear Answer Angel: I have this cute pair of cheap, pleather loafers that I never wear because they produce a very loud, obnoxious squeaking sound. I've worn them twice to work, and on both occasions the constant squeaking interrupted my colleagues. Do you have any suggestions on how to get my shoes to stop making so much noise?
— Eeek! They squeak.
Dear Squeaky: You're a better woman than I. I'd have worn them anyhow (and irritated my co-workers; they're used to that) in the hope that the squeak eventually would go away. But, here's an unexpected solution: Slather your shoes in hand lotion. Try to pinpoint the squeak then apply lots of lotion to that area, inside and out. Obviously you want to test a tiny spot to make sure it won't wreck the shoes. And this treatment is totally not recommended for suede. If you're afraid that the greasy stuff (in a pinch, substitute olive oil, WD-40 or another lubricant) will damage the shoes, try powder inside and beneath the insole.
Dear Answer Angel: I bought one of those popular opaque blouses that you see all over these days. It's a muted print — sort of see-through but not really. It's too revealing to wear without some covering underneath. I had intended to wear a lacy cami under the blouse but I'm wondering if that's OK for work?
— J. Catherine
Dear J. Catherine: If you have to ask. … I'm assuming you're worried that that the cami is too "lingerie" for the workplace. Consider a plain camisole (no lace) or, for more coverage (always a plus in the office), try a sleeveless T-shirt. I'm a big fan of the $12.90 "Airism" and "Heattech" styles at Uniqlo (uniqlo.com).
Dear Answer Angel: Being a 20-something with little extra to spend on fashion, I am having trouble determining what is a "staple" piece in my wardrobe. I hear friends justifying spending extra money on certain pieces because they figure it is something they can wear for a long time. With fashions changing so much and so quickly, how does one determine what these pieces are?
— Fashion Clueless
Dear Clueless: I've heard that old "I'll wear it forever" line a lot when women try to justify spending too much on their clothes. And, I'll bet they don't wear whatever "it" is enough to justify the cost. That said, there are "investment pieces" that are worth spending a little extra on for better fabric and workmanship that will make them last for a good long while. These are the backbone of a wardrobe that you'll reach for all the time. Mine are a black pleated skirt ($60 at a consignment store almost 20 years ago), a black pencil skirt ($70 at Nordstrom), a no-iron classic white shirt (it killed me to pay full price, $82, foxcroftcollection.com) and a black cashmere sweater ($80 at a consignment shop). Another good basic worth spending your limited cash on would be a versatile, well-fitting jacket/blazer — again, I would choose black. I'm still on the hunt for the perfect (packable) black trousers. My essential "little black dress" is a stretchy, flattering one I picked up at Wal-Mart for $20. At that price, I'm willing to replace it once in a while. Staples don't have to be expensive. With some standout, colorful accessories trimyou can put together scores of outfits that rely on the repeat pieces. And smart shoppers scout bargain basics at consignment and thrift shops. For me, those stores are an addiction.
Dear Answer Angel: What do you think of those dresses with drastically uneven hems that are way shorter in the front than the back? I'm seriously tempted for summer.
— Joanie
Dear Joanie: Those are the flip side of the wardrobe essentials discussed above. They're an of-the-moment fashion item, a fun look for a season. But this is where you should invest as little as possible. I put them in the same category as the peplum look that's here today and then, poof. Buy a cheapo version, enjoy, recycle.
Dear Answer Angel: Our son is graduating from eighth grade. He wants a laptop or an iPhone as a graduation gift. What's the right thing to do? After all, I'm hoping he has several more graduations in his future.
— Confused Mom
Dear Confused: A handwritten note telling him how proud you are of his accomplishments and a pizza night with some pals is about right. Lavish spending for an eighth-grade graduate is indulgent and silly.
Reader rant — sort of
Please let people know that it's OK to cut the stitching holding the vent closed at the back of their trench coat! Thanks!
— Nancy L.
Dear Nancy: That almost doesn't qualify as a rant. You're verging into mere gentle "urging" territory. It is not only OK, it is mandatory to cut those threads! Just today I spotted a woman in a peach jacket with the rear vent still basted shut. Those threads on vents on jackets, coats, even skirts with a kick pleat are meant to be snipped immediately. Men, incidentally, are the worst offenders. And, pockets are often basted shut as well. Many people think that the pockets are fakes when all it takes is careful cutting the thread to open them up. And who doesn't need more pockets?
Real reader rant
About women's bathing suits: Why do we have to wear such body-baring styles? This has nothing to do with body image, religion or prudishness. But we don't like it when men — however physically fit — wear Speedos, yet women are expected to do the equivalent. I'm working on keeping my 3-year-old daughter from lifting her skirts above her head. I tell her that underwear is supposed to be private. But I'm supposed to let her wear clothing that shows the exact same amount of skin in a public place? I'm having trouble figuring out how to explain the contradiction.
Latest Lifestyles
In summary: I'm not comfortable running around in my underwear. Being in a swimming pool doesn't change that. Am I alone here?
— Terri
Dear Terri: You most definitely are not ! Almost nobody looks good in skimpy swimwear which, I might add, is not practical for swimming. Anybody out there disagree with us?

Editor's note: CNN Contributor Bob Greene is a bestselling author whose 25 books include "Late Edition: A Love Story"; "When We Get to Surf City: A Journey Through America in Pursuit of Rock and Roll, Friendship, and Dreams"; and "Once Upon a Town: The Miracle of the North Platte Canteen."
(CNN) -- In a country as splintered as the United States has become, can there be any such thing as a national pastime?
The phrase has been associated with the game of baseball since late in the 19th century, when sportswriters began dropping it into their stories. It was a great promotional slogan for the sport; whether it ever was literally true is open to question. But it would be just about impossible to make the case that baseball is the national pastime today; in a country of 314 million people, this year's World Series drew, on average, a television audience of only 12.7 million viewers per game (football's Super Bowl this year attracted an audience of more than 111 million).
Yet the question is not which sport has become the national pastime, but whether any single activity of any kind qualifies for that title. Cohesion is not exactly the dominating quality of 21st-century life; we are endlessly being reminded of all the choices we have about how to spend our time, and the concept of the entire country gravitating toward one leisure-time activity sounds beyond archaic.
If baseball ever was, at least symbolically, the national pastime, it was supplanted in the early 1950s by the rapid growth in the number of television sets in American homes. Suddenly something was happening that had never before occurred: People all over the country were looking at the same thing at the same time. Most mornings, the main topic of conversation in offices, factories and schools across the continent was something that had been on all those television screens the night before. There were only three channels to watch in most cities, and perhaps an additional "educational" channel, the forerunner to PBS.
The nation had a new pastime, and it took place indoors.
The great majority of Americans who are alive today have no memory at all of a world before television. The median age in the United States hovers right around 37 years old; this means that half of all Americans were born in 1975 or later. The presence of television, to them, is as unremarkable as the sight of the sun in the summer sky.
And a newer pastime, as we all know, has emerged, on screens of a different sort. To take note of how free time (whatever that has come to mean) is now being spent, all you have to do is walk down any street in any city or small town, and observe your fellow pedestrians checking the screens they grasp in their palms.
But the hegemony of early television, with those three channels, is a distant memory. No one can take the public's attention for granted today; first the advent of cable television fragmented viewing patterns, and then came the boundless Internet, followed by the creative forces that provide the content for all those little personal screens. Apple offers around 700,000 separate applications, as does Google. A lot of ways to pass the time, in a nation with a twitching concentration span.
And there is always something around the next corner. The same way there are fewer and fewer Americans who can describe to you what the country was like before television, soon enough there will be few Americans who will be able to recall a world before the Internet. It is hard to conceive, but social history tells us that the seemingly limitless array of ways to spend time today will before long seem constricted and small.
There is a famous and provocative phrase, translated from the writings of Karl Marx, that has been used in various contexts over the years: "the opiate of the masses." The concept of people being susceptible to a symbolic opiate of any kind remains controversial and current. Do today's Americans simply enjoy the screens they carry with them, or are they psychologically addicted to them -- is it a pleasurable pastime, or are they hooked? It's not an unfair question.
(And as far as opiates go -- pharmacological and figurative -- the Wall Street Journal recently reported on an intriguing development at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, as explained by Rhonda Scott, Grady's chief nursing officer: "Grady agreed to double the number of TV channels in rooms and add ESPN because 'the requests for pain medication go down during the afternoon football games,' Dr. Scott said.")
Our pastimes are many, and the very idea of a national pastime goes against the contemporary aversion to doing only one thing at a time.
Although the very real possibility exists that, seemingly contradictorily, we have indeed settled on a new kind of national pastime:
Baseball's starting to sound better and better.

Temper you excitement for Johnny Depp ditching the pirate garb long enough to go gonzo again, because "The Rum Diary," like the novel from which it's adapted, falls well short. It's sad to think writer-director Bruce Robinson gave up years of sobriety to craft this messy movie.
Depp stars as Paul Kemp, an American journalist who in 1960 heads to Puerto Rico to take a job writing for the struggling San Juan Star. Because it's based on Thompson's work, the film opens with the de rigueur scene of Kemp in a trashed hotel room, the victim of his unbridled appetites. It gets no fresher.
Kemp soon finds himself being wooed by Sanderson (Aaron Eckhart's talents being wasted yet again), a weasel-y real-estate developer with a stunning girlfriend named Chenault (Amber Heard). Kemp predictably decides to take down Sanderson and steal Chenault.
"The Rum Diary" feels like a hodgepodge of scenes that were shot in the hope that someone might be able to coherently string together 120 (!) minutes of action and comedy. The film's structure reaches its nadir in a scene where Paul complains that the water's out and he's all covered with soap, and the very next scene finds Chenault inviting herself into his shower. Did he call a plumber? Did the water suddenly come back on? Why didn't he just invite her to join him before heading back?
Depp's take on Thompson—and make no mistake, Kemp is Thompson—is a watered-down version of the brilliant twitchy perfromance he gave in "Fear & Loathing." It makes sense for Depp to dial back the crazy, as Thompson/Kemp hadn't quite reached the fever-dream madness, but he goes too far.
Amber Heard does yeowoman's work in a thankless role. Cheault is a one-dimensional character, a directionless sexpot chasing the next party, but Heard delivers the heat—while it's still not entirely clear that she can act, she can do sexy for days. Giovanni Ribisi gives the film's only other spirited turn, as Moburg, the Star's derelict crime/religion reporter who swills 450-proof hooch while listening to records of Hitler's speeches.
Even more frustrating is that the film's third act is almost non-existent. There's no final showdown between Good and Evil, just some defeatist resignation followed by the most egregious of title post-narrative explication: "After making his way to New York, Paul…" or some such nonsense. Seriously?
The action in "The Rum Diary" never gets all that heated, the comedy is mostly lukewarm antics, Thompson's trademark prose gets translated into dialogue that lacks spark… even the LSD hallucinations are tame.
Review: "The Rum Diary" Feels Like a Drunken Mess
Temper you excitement for Johnny Depp ditching the pirate garb long enough to go gonzo again, because "The Rum Diary," like the novel from which it's adapted, falls well short. It's sad to think writer-director Bruce Robinson gave up years of sobriety to craft this messy movie.

It seems as though we can pay people to do anything for us these days: walk our dogs, build our furniture, organize our homes ... cuddle with us when we're feeling lonely. That's right: You can hire a professional cuddler to snuggle with you for about $60 an hour. You can also pay an "undercover bridesmaid" to stand next to you on your big day, or a professional mourner to cry with you at a loved one's funeral.
Those are just a few of the weirdest jobs we found while compiling our list of the most unusual professionals.

Can you become less sensitive because of sex and masturbation?
Heather Corinna replies:I'm a 19 year old girl and I've been masturbating since I was 14. I usually do it every day, sometimes more than once. My boyfriend is quite willing to please when it comes to oral sex, but lately it isn't doing much for me. Even masturbation is less satisfying than it used to be, and needs a firmer touch. You hear of guys who worry that too much masturbation has made their penis less sensitive to the extent that they can't come during penetrative sex – can the same thing happen to a clitoris? And, more importantly, is there anything I can do about it?
This kind of thing is not an issue with your genitals changing in any way. It has more to do with your mind.
One big thing that has long been the conundrum of married and long-term couples everywhere when it comes to sex is the fact that our libidos really do tend to thrive on changing things up, rather than keeping things the same. Habit isn't exactly the enemy of people's sexual drives and sexual response, but it does often tend to result in things being less exciting, for our minds and our bodies.
So, the fact that after a handful of years, you're finding you need to adapt your masturbation patterns some isn't surprising. Most people, now and then, will need to find a new place, a new fantasy, a new toy, a new technique, a new approach. Our sexuality likes change and in many ways, it favors novelty.
It should also be said, though, that given how many drivers and influences we have per our libidos -- the alchemy of our bodies, our general health, our reproductive cycles, whatever stress or eustress we have in our lives, how our relationships are going, what all else we're doing with our lives besides sex -- it's also normal for us to have phases where sex is very high-key and phases where it's lower. There are times we'll be very libidinous,and times our libidos will be lower, or even seemingly nonexistent. That's normal. So, it may be, too, that you're just in a part of your life at the moment where sex is less interesting or important that it has been at other times.
If you don't feel like that's the case, and it's just a matter of you having desires that are just as strong, but you aren't responding sexually the way you're used to, then mix it up a bit. Do change how you masturbate some if that's what your body likes. Talk to your partner about exploring new activities beyond oral sex, or add a different dimension to the oral sex you're having; maybe explore some different fantasies in your mind throughout.

When the storms have passed
When the storms have passed
Though flood waters surround us still
We see things in a different light
We are ever changed

Oh yes that is very true and wise. We have experienced major storms and tornadoes along with record breaking flooding. This bridge is the train bridge that goes over one of the rivers that is flooding towns and counties downstream. You so right literal storms and mephitical storms change us forever I feel in so many ways. Always for the better it just might take us a little bit to recognize it! ❤ Have a beautiful day Vihani. ✿

- Check all is well
- Now do the upgrade
- Check status
- If you want to look at the new filesystem
- Make it live
