A standard digital file (.stl) of an object is created, either by using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software or a 3D scanner, and is sent to a dedicated machine which builds the object layer-upon-layer in a material such as plastic, metal or ceramic.

At the end of the regular meeting a member stood and shared with the group that our neighbors to the north in the Adairsville community were in great need of assistance, and that assistance could be greatly enhanced by cash donations to purchase Walmart gift cards for their benefit.
The sight of all those retired educators reaching for wallets, checkbooks, and purses as they exited the building was exhilarating. You could see and sense the joy as they were able to try and lessen the pain of their neighbors.
The actions of these retired folks, who have already given so much, and who contributed $675, made me extremely proud to be one of them and to have them as my neighbors here in Floyd County.

The New Art Space Amsterdam N.A.S.A. – formerly known as Smart Project Space - is a contemporary art center: a center because it houses a restaurant, a cinema and an exhibition space for contemporary art. All of them would actually deserve an article on their own. And all of them cover something quite unique in Amsterdam. Well, there are art house cinemas in Amsterdam. There is even EYE with its own programming covering pretty much everything which is not shown in the other art house centers.
Still NASA has its own programming, different from the rest: screening films which are closely connected to the art scene, and/or have its own idiosyncratic qualities. Just recently I've watched the documentary about Ai Wei Wei, and the one about Sol LeWitt is on my list.
The restaurant is nice, stylish but not stiff, a meeting place for the people who are around NASA, artists, culturally interested, or neighbourhood folks. The menu sounds really good, but as I am not such a foodie, I haven't been eating there yet.
The picture above is taken at the latest exhibition "the dark universe" which was a great exhibition about light art/installations. Now there is another exhibition, with a more theoretical approach, based on the correspondence archive of the late Dutch anarchist Karl Max Kreuger.

Cardinal – State Bird of Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio and more
Image Courtesy nps.gov (public domain) |
The Northern Cardinal is one of the most well known birds in America. It is undoubtedly a favorite as Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, and Kentucky all honor the cardinal as their state bird. Two professional sports teams and several universities have made the cardinal their mascots. Description/Song: In most places, the cardinal can not be mistaken for any other bird. The Summer or Scarlet Tanager may look similar from a distance, but the cardinal usually gives itself away with its loud, musical whistle, or short "check" note. Upon closer inspection, the cardinal's red crest, conical red bill, and black mask distinguish it. The female cardinal is tan with red feathers on the crest, wing, and tail. The bill is bright orange. Most cardinals measure about 7-8 inches in length. Both the male and female cardinal sing. Habitat/Range: Cardinals are very common throughout the eastern and southwestern United States in yards, gardens, woodlands, and deserts. Male and females stay together for life, and can be seen throughout the year in most places. Cardinals are easily attracted to backyard feeders with sunflower seeds. Cardinals also eat other seeds and insects. They may also nest in backyard gardens or trees. Status: The cardinal is very common. Quiz Code: Arizona Cardinal Video Cardinal Song |

Sandusky Attorneys Hope for New Trial
By: Mallory Lane
Updated: January 10, 2013
Sandusky's former Defense Attorney Joe Amendola took the stand Thursday morning to testify, saying his team didn't have enough time to prepare a fair defense for their client.
Convicted child molester Jerry Sandusky was all smiles as he arrived at the Centre County Courthouse Thursday morning, hoping his lawyers can convince Judge John Cleland that he deserves a new trial.
"I thought it went as well as it could go," Sandusky's Attorney Norris Gelman said. "We have a couple of things which are stronger than other things and uh, one or two are particularly strong in my mind, but I think we made the arguments, and now we just have to wait and see."
The former Penn State football coach was convicted last June on 45 of 48 counts of child sex abuse for molesting ten young boys over a period of 15 years. Thursday, his defense lawyers say they weren't given enough time to form a proper defense for Sandusky, telling Judge Cleland they were given more than 12,000 pages of documents in the months leading up to the trial, and even after the trial started.
"You can't take 6500 pages and give them to a lawyer and say okay, now start the trial and we'll see," Gelman said. "You have to give them time to work with it and time to digest it and you can't force a lawyer to trial when he's flying blind."
Prosecutors disagree, and Thursday, they say Joe Amendola defeated his argument by admitting the files would have had no impact on his defense strategy in the first place.
"It's not the law, I mean the law is not what someone's opinion is of whether or not they've looked at every document, thoroughly," Deputy Attorney General Frank Fina said. "The law is whether or not they can point to what they failed to do in the actual trial that affected the adversarial process. As Mr. Amdendola said, there was nothing."
But looking ahead, Sandusky's new attorney Norris Gelman is confident his client's case will move on to the Superior Court.
"I'm going to use a basketball analogy," he said. "Back in college, this would be a long three point shot for me. I'm not throwing the ball across the court, I'm not throwing it from half court, it's a long three pointer. Some of those go in."

Emplacing the Local (Spring 2013)
In an era of globalization, where new media connects us in an instant around the world with communities linked only in cyber-space, it would seem that our lives are lived less and less through emplacing ourselves within the spaces we regularly inhabit, and engaging in place-making; that is, seeing ourselves as engaged in the spaces within which we interact and form communities with those around us. In contrast to such pessimistic predictions, a number of scholars have articulated the ongoing importance of place as part of socially constructed spatialities of postmodernity and neoliberal capitalism at a subjective and community level. Additionally, scholars across the humanities and social sciences have been drawn away from the easy identification of subjects who are embedded in the time-space compression and increasing kinesis of the contemporary world to the importance of the local and of ongoing, situated practices of creating significance and history. Foregrounding the matter of place makes way for critical appraisal of questions of local importance, asking how research can and should be engaged, as praxis, with local politics, histories, environments, and arts.

Close to Avignon center. About a 5 min walk to center area. But hotel is a bit cheap with their energy saving tactics.. Hallways are dark and light comes... on as you walk by like a motion detector and turns back off quickly. Elevator is almost pitch dark. We got a room at the end if the hotel and because they have these extra long hallways, if was pretty inconvenient to walk to lobby.. About a 3 min walk inside the hallway.. if you have a car, you'll be circling the block a few times before you figure out that you have to go around the block to underground parking and lug your luggage all the way back to lobby. Signs to parking area isn't clear and because hotel on main street, you can't drive up and drop luggage .. Very inconvenient! Oh and the hotel front desk employee disappears after 11pm and locks lobby so if you are out late, you have to call him on his cell phone so he can come back and let you in and because we were from U.S. , our cell phones weren't setup for Europe so we had to wait around until he came back and let us in!! I wouldn't stay here again just because of all these minor nuisances even tho rooms were nice and clean. Also no gym here Do khách của Hotels.com nhận xét vào thg 7 10, 2012

You need to know the generator´s value after INSERT:
Before INSERT-Statement run
$nextnumber=ibase_gen_id ("GEN_NAME",1);
GEN_NAME: is the generator´s name
1: means add 1 to actual value of generator
$nextnumber: is variable to store generators value after incrementing
In the INSERT-Statement you can use $nextnumber instead of using generator directly like in:
INSERT INTO test (field1, field2) VALUES gen_id(gen_test_id, 1), 'testme');
ibase_gen_id — Increments the named generator and returns its new value
mixed ibase_gen_id
( string
[, int $increment
= 1
[, resource $link_identifier
]] )Warning
This function is currently not documented; only its argument list is available.
Return Values
Returns new generator value as integer, or as string if the value is too big.

Question arose on php-dev:
How does ibase_gen_id() handle 64bit values?
Interbase 6/Firebird generators are always 64-bit signed integers
(Firebird's BIGINT type), regardless of the platform the client is
On 64-bit platforms, this will never require conversion as PHP's int
type is 64 bits wide on those platforms. On 32-bit platforms, the
generated value is converted to a string if it exceeds the limits of a
32-bit signed integer.
(This behaviour is consistent with the ibase_fetch_*() functions, that
will use strings to represent numerical values that cannot be represented
accurately using native PHP numerical types.)

Need some css style help
I cant understand how can I align the grey background of both headings in front of each other so it looks like one long bar. Secondly, I cant understand why the part in front of "Terms and Conditions:" is not turning grey.
Please help me out.
Did you take a second look at your markup? What is
?I am sorry but I dont know much about CSS. I am just trying to get this to work.
I agree with @chirsburton, you need to convert the tags into divs with classes
@AFQ I was referring to the HTML not CSS. Do you know HTML?
I removed
(which there is no such thing) and replaced it with an<h2>
and it worked like you wanted it to. If you clean up your markup I think it would solve some of your issues.

Abayima's efforts to fight censorship are the reason it's part of my new CNN Opinion column, which focuses on human rights and social justice issues.
I'm a former technology writer, so some columns will highlight technological innovation. Others will focus on how people are using the Internet to create social change and on human rights crises that aren't making it into mainstream headlines. Last year, I worked with the CNN Freedom Project to produce a story on slavery in Mauritania. I've also covered topics like Internet and gaming addiction in South Korea and prisons in Norway.
Soon, you will see me writing and fronting a project called Change the List. The pilot was on Hawaii, the state with the lowest voter turnout. I reported from there and enlisted people on the Internet to try to help move that state up "the List."
Not that I can take credit (and not that it's an insanely huge victory), but the state tied for 49th place in 2012, instead of 50th. It's not everything, but it's progress.
Anyway, back to SIM cards.
Other people also are catching on to Gosier's concept, too.
"In parts of the world where the Internet is either down or monitored," Justin Ellis writes for the Nieman Journalism Lab, "Abayima would give activists, human rights workers, and journalists the ability to communicate simply by swapping SIMs."
The blog TechPresident calls it a "handy lo-tech solution to fight censorship."
The Knight Foundation recently gave the nonprofit a $150,000 grant.
In a sense, the already-old-news SIM card could take on a new life as the technological grandchild of the fax machine, which helped activists in the Soviet Union communicate with the broader world and each other; or the cassette tape, which helped anti-Apartheid radio hosts in South Africa disseminate their broadcasts to townships.

I'm off to the Patrick Chan threads...where you can watch a molehill become a mountain in seconds!!!
Thanks for the news on Gosselin's competitions this year. I know I looked at Octoberfest results, but I guess I forgot that he was there. Glad to hear that he's on a comeback path.
I'd heard that O'Brien sustained an injury during the off-season, though again, I can't remember what it was. He was off the ice for a few months, I think, so I hope that he will also continue to improve. He turns 19 before July 1 though, so I think that means that this was his final year of JGP eligibility, right? Or do I have that backwards?
Gachinski, Voronov, Rippon, van der Perren and Verner "underperforming" is not a fluke. It's a pretty good likelihood.
"You can get so much of good thing, you can linger too long in your dreams, say good-bye to the oldies but goodies, 'cause the good ole days weren't always good, and tomorrow isn't as bad as it seems" Billy Joel (as quoted by BigBadBob)
You're correct. I should have checked tracings.net before I posted.He turns 19 before July 1 though, so I think that means that this was his final year of JGP eligibility, right? Or do I have that backwards?
Thanks for the correction.
With Rogozine's bad result at NHK, Elladj Balde is looking like the frontrunner for that last podium position at Nationals. I wish Skate Canada had sent him to another Senior B this fall, because if he does finish 3rd, then it's do or die at 4CC to get the TES minimum to go to Worlds. (Although to be fair, Elladj blew one of his shots at the TES pretty badly at Nebelhorn...I have a little more sympathy about missing it at SC, because he did have a relatively strong performance there.)

Check out the video of Kevin being interviewed by two Japanese lads who think he is an ordinary tourist, but google him half way through - it's from CBC sports, retweeted by PJ Kwong. I'd copy to this post for you, but I don't know how. It is hilarious and charming! the Japanese lads seem to be participating in a TV contest or Game show and lucked out. The title of the article tweeted and retweeted is Super Skating and the video is half way down the page.
Sylvia has posted the said vid in the Kevin Reynolds thread.

Ironing time and light in tuna sauce
Materials: that light, that clock, a iron, a Campisi tuna fish can
Description: Mom gave me a iron even though she knew I would never iron: I added that Ikea light on top of it, perfect for boring books.
Campisi is a marvelous fishermen shop down to Sicily, their products rule: I had that as a base for a broken clock.
Both of them have been there for ages, Ada told me about Ikea hackers. Make love and hack.

where is the hack? putting the lamp on anything (even an iron) is not a hack.
ReplyDelete Maybe the lamp's not really a hack, but the clock can count as that, can it?
Anyhow, the clock: Two round shapes, a vintage looking food container? Quite nice!
And even though I do not like the lamp/iron thingy, the lamp at least looks like a real vintage piece now, due to the arrangement. I like to disguise ikea pieces...^^°- AnonymousMay 25, 2012 6:31 AM
the clock is not even ikea, i don't even see it as a clock. there is a pig face on it.

Glad to see this posted. I very much like turning a clamp light into a table lamp using an iron as a base. Found-object hacking at it's best.

Highway of the future is seriously smart
How a Dutch design lab could make roads cleaner, safer and weirder
By Katie McdonoughTopics: Science, technology, Design, transportation, Alternative Energy, green design, Life News, News
The Dutch design lab Studio Roosegaarde invents weird things. And now, the brains behind clothing that becomes transparent while the wearer is getting, ahem, intimate and a room that contracts and expands based on how hard you dance in it would like to redesign Europe's entire system of highways and roads.
So they did.
According to Studio Roosegaarde the highways of the future are safer, cleaner and more environmentally sound. The lab has developed solar powered glow-in-the-dark roads that charge during the day to illuminate your evening drive, dynamic asphalt paint that transforms in response to road conditions like ice and sleet, and car lanes that double as electric car chargers by using magnetic fields under the asphalt.
These ideas might seem far out, but they're already being implemented in Holland. If all goes well during the piloting program, there are talks of implementing these upgrades across Europe.
Why reinvent the road and not the car? As Studio Roosegaarde's Emina Sendijarevic told Popular Science, it's about changing the landscape from the ground up.
By focusing on highways instead of cars, we're innovating the Dutch landscape to make 'smart driving' possible for everyone. It's about safety, creating awareness but also making roads energy-neutral in terms of lighting, and most of all: creating the experience of an icon, the Route 66 of the future.

Books were paper. Books are paper and electronic. Books will be electronic. I read both forms.
I have a problem with the changes. My mind still likes to browse books on the shelve, look at pictures on the cover, and read the cleverly-worded phrases that are meant to hook you in. I have a hard time doing that with the electronic book. Browsing the internet for a book is okay, but nothing will ever replace the smell of paper and the visual delight of browsing a great book store.
firstname.lastname@example.com observations, Scott. I wouldn't mind owning an e-book reader loaded with books, but I will not be getting rid of my paper-and-ink books just yet - not after having seen how quickly one medium replaces another. Maybe in 15 or 20 years time the e-book reader will be obsolete and replaced by a technology we can't even begin to imagine yet. Until then, I'll hang on to my physical books.
ReplyDeleteThis brings new meaning to the phrase "content is king". The words are more important than the format it's delivered on. Without the words, books are just blank pages and eReaders are empty devices. Even verbal storytelling existed long before the written word. Each format has it's own pros and cons, advantages and disadvantages. But no matter how grand a particular format is perceived, what truly matters is whether the ideas contained within it are fulfilling and the experience is worthwhile.
michaellmartinjr[at]gmail[dot]comI agree with both of you, while I use an e-reader and like it sometimes.....I love holding and reading a book, I love going into a book store and mostly I just love them on my book shelfs. Theres something about the sound of turning pages, the weight and smell of a book that can never compare to my computer screen.
ReplyDeleteYeah, technology is pretty irritating. It seems like they're always coming up with something new. Well, I still watch VHS movies...LOL! I do watch DVDs, but I have a large library of VHS. I still prefer paper books to ebooks...just can't help it. I pray that they don't go the way of the dinosaur!
truebookaddict(at)gmail(dot)comI'm a big reader, but it's always been the story that's important, not the format. That's why I usually bought paperbacks instead of hard covers (cost and ease of taking with me) and why I'm now a fan of kindle (cost and ease). I can carry multiple books and always read if I have my phone with me, synced to where I was at in the story on my kindle.
Good luck Scott. I'd love to hear if you're seeing any sales impact yet from the blog tour.
Thrillersrus.blogspot.com/My favorite thing to do is browse books on a shelf and read the back covers. My second favorite thing to do is sit on the couch with a cup of coffee and browse the internet. Now I can browse digital books on a shelf while sitting in front of my computer with a cup of coffee (buy and begin reading in seconds). There is nothing more immediately satisfying than that.
firstname.lastname@example.com joy of different formats is that sometimes one is better than another. example, i really wanted a book last night...couldn't find it in the online library...did at audible! as i have heard the author speak before, i thought, i'll get that version. as it is a memoir, best way! WRONG! good story but she read it too fast! so today, i will resort to the finding written version...kindle for my mac...i do want it asap.
ReplyDeleteI logged onto this blog and the first thing I saw was Scott Nicholson staring at me. Thanks, Scott, for scaring me like this! Oh, by the way, did you get a new pair of glasses? Never mind.
My first exposure to technology was learning how to turn the wheel on the old black telephone and put the needle on a vinyl disk without scratching it. I was ten when we got our first black-and-white TV (God, I feel so old!) Anyway, technology advances, people fight it, and then accept it. Remember when they screamed bloody murder and said that the steam engine was the work of the devil? (Okay, I'm not that old yet, I read it somewhere.) I, too, believe that content is more important than format. However, the format or the environment we read in often determines how we absorb content. Reading a book (whether paper or ebook) in the quiet of your home where you can focus on what read, you are likely to get more out of it, dig deeper into its meaning than if you listen to it on tape while driving and have to pay attention to traffic. Since I work on my PC all day, I'm used to reading a lot of content online. I also notice that I don't read it as carefully as when I have a printed copy in front of me--or a copy on the Kindle reader. I still love paperback and hardback books, but I very much enjoy the opportunities an eReader provides. I am more likely to try out new genres and unknown authors on Kindle and I have become very selective when it comes to buying the paper versions. Some of it, of course, has to do with the lower prices of ebooks. All in all, I'm optimistic about the changes and the new opportunities for writers and readers.
email@example.com that's not a nice thing to do Scott, because that's exactly what I tell people! But they don't listen to me -.-
SO it's not nice to steal people's speech. Altho I don't think you heard mine (ok I AM just joking)...
Because even tho the way of carrying the word may change, paper, digital, cd, dvd, whatever, the BOOK will always exist, one way or another and THAT is what trully matters.
Not sure why people make such a noise about e-books being more read than paper books or not and such. Peeps, a book is a book, whatever's the way it's published or printed or not.
Lovely post once again :)
mayarend -at- yahoo.com.brI love the look and smell of paper books. To have a library in my home with countless bound volumes filling the shelves is a life long dream of mine. That said, I'm also a technology nut and love the idea of being able to carry 200 books around in a single device such as the Kindle. I think that the library concept (which my wife and I are well on our way to completing) is more for visual appeal. More of a decoration and a way to feed my "collection" habit.
The future of books is within the digital world but one kindle sitting on a book shelf sure doesn't look as good as hundreds of hardcovers.
calseeor (at) gmail (dot) comI feel like a groupie following you around on the tour . I prefer my kindle, can't believe you don't have one! They are light and will slip into any bag/purse. And no matter where I am I can pull it out and read, finish the book and "click" got another one! But paper is the only way to truly save books for future generations.
ReplyDeleteI've always kept all of my physical books and have frequently re-read most of them. I love books! However, I also love my Kindle and the easy of reading any of my books anytime and anywhere I want to, they are all with me. It's also nice not having physical books pile up around the house, I only have so much room.
Will I get rid of my physical books and replace them with digital? No way. I still buy the ones I want to keep forever as hardbacks.
Another fun stop on the tour! Thanks Tina and Scott!
lorraine_lanning[at]yahoo[dot]comIt's too bad, since I love the feel of paper, but it's clear that printed books will go the way of vinyl or CDs or 8-track or VHS, they may have some advantages but it's impossible to compete with a medium in which copying and distribution are almost free.
You posted yesterday about what that could mean for the writing and publishing industry. Certainly, a time of change, and if publishers don't find a new model, then it may be a temporary collapse in writing-for-profit. I agree.
Thanks for another day of great ideas.
tztomfromcali _ at _ gmail _ comI'm still a man of the 20th century and read books almost exclusively in a physical form--with a few exceptions. I suppose the main thing holding me back is finances, as I still consider e-readers a hefty investment when paper books are readily and cheaply available. And that tactile feel carries a measure of satisfaction and accomplishment with it.
ReplyDeleteI would mind having one if someone gave it to me.LOL. But I love books. I don't think there isn't a room in my house that doesn't have at least one book in it, (well maybe one room). I can't imagine a world without printed books. Reading a book is a very sensory process. The smell of the paper, the feel of the book. I don't think I could ever give that up.
firstname.lastname@example.com! I knew it all along... That was the ONLY POSSIBLE explanation. And we've finally caught you. And I quote you:
"(Maybe that's not a good strategy for getting you to buy my e-books, but I am sure you—SUBLIMINAL MESSAGE!!!—want to read them all immediately)."
SUBLIMINAL MESSAGES! That's how you've managed to rise to the top of the slush pile and gained your mediocre success! Amazing!
Flipping through your books and carefully reading between the lines, I find a LOT of your attempts at putting thoughts in people's heads unknowingly. A quick look at "The Red Church" and --how did I not see this before? -- there is a message that clearly reads "Send Me Money." In "The Manor" I found "Buy My Books," "Cheetah Girls ROCK," and "I(heart) goats." And in "They Hunger" I spied "I want a cement pond," "fame whore" and "My four inches are huge and massive"!
God knows what I'll find in your other books (I'm almost afraid to look!!!)! But, HAVE YOU NO SHAME???? It's quite scandalous! There ought to be LAWS against the unsavory things you've been subliminally "sneaking" into your books. It's simply SHOCKING!!!Hmm...seems my earlier comment has disappeared. It's probably wherever my motivation ran off to.
Anyway...the gist of my comment was that I love my e-reader, but I don't "browse" e-books all that well, yet. So far, I have only read authors I know. But I know I'll be branching out before long.
-NealChrista, I had a rotary dial phone in my card shop and a kid asked to use it and he became paralyzed when I handed him the phone!
Sharon, this is part Grateful Dead tour, part carnival, so the whole point is to follow it around! (though the canisters of laughing gas in the parking lot are totally optional).
Douglas, yes, I think it has helped sales some, nothing dramatic, but the 99 cent stuff is selling better so I think people are trying it. As enticement I am lowering The Red Church, probably my best novel, to 99 cents to see if I can reach the Top 100 and add another Kindle to the list. But the main goal is for us all to meet each other--readers, bloggers, writers.
This tour originally was going to be a paper book at giveaway at every stop until I realized the cost and work and trouble involved, with little overall impact int he world. This way at least some people get Kindles. Like teaching someone to fish instead of giving them a fish!
ScottI hear so many people say they love the smell of books and the feel of them in their hand. The first time I felt the Kindle in my hand, I was hooked. Now the only time I read a print book is when the ebook is so expensive (this rarely happens with indie books) that I have to go to the library. I think ebooks will definitely be the preferred reading format in the future.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting discussion. When I first looked at the Kindle, I noticed in the reviews that the first Kindle users were upset that their ebooks did not transfer to the new Kindle. We will probably get the new Kindle, but it would be nice to have some ebooks that last longer than VHS tapes. Hope the next Kindle allows a content transfer at least. I'm sure we will always hang on to quite a few paper books, whatever happens. I love books.
ReplyDeleteI don't hate eBoooks, but if you don't have a Kindle or an Ipad or whatever, you can't read outside of your home. Plus, a Kindle is such an investment, one not everyone wants to make, especially reluctant readers. Also, staring at a computer/electronic screen for hours is a bit tiresome. I like eBooks and would love a Kindle, but I still love normal books as well.
Thanks for the giveaway!
dancer_girl76(at)sbcglobal(dot)netPhysical books are still my favorite. I don't have an e-reader but maybe for Xmas. I'm still procrastinating since I get tired reading on the computer but I so love the idea of saving space and paper!
Teens Read and WriteI thought that I had left a comment here already, but I cannot fond it? Am I doing something horribly wrong? My original post was to the point and pretty well thought out (for me) and I would be bummed if it comes to nothing. I am loving visiting all the sites so far Scott.
Jeff White
email@example.com love my books. I love to look at them all pretty on my shelves and to watch my collection grow and grow. But I love reading on an ereader as well. I don't think books are going anywhere anytime soon, I think book lovers will continue buying paper 'real' books, it just won't be as many because of the ereaders out there.
candace_redinger at yahoo dot com
PS. LOVE this blog! I'm a new follower and will be returning!I love ebooks for my leisure reading. However, I still feel the need to have paper textbooks (even though they weigh a ton). For some reason, I have trouble studying from the computer screen or the screen of an ereader.
I would love a kindle for my leisure books though. I would love to free up the shelf space required to keep paper copies of all my books.
kelly.r.morin(at)gmail(dot)comWe moved hundreds of books with us repeatedly for years. We kept them all because I like to read a book again a few years later. They're heavy, they take up lots of space, and they collect dust. Having a library in a Kindle solves the problem of a house filling up with books, and having to re-pack and move them every few years.
Gail in Florida
cowgirl3000 at gmail dot comI don't like reading on my computer, because I can't curl up in bed with it and read. I can do that with my kindle, so it makes me happy. There are still books I want on paper- graphic novels, personally signed copies, fancy editions of classics, to name a few. And I don't see myself getting rid of the paper books that I own; we have too much history together. ("Grandma, was this book really only 75 cents?" "Yes, and I didn't buy lunch at school for three days so I could get it.")But I love that I can get books directly onto my kindle. I'm epileptic and don't drive. Getting to a bookstore can be a pain. When my husband was deployed, it was nearly impossible,and that was when I needed new books most. Ah, I'm rambling. I guess I just love books, whatever form they are in. :)
firstname.lastname@example.com of the things I'd miss about a paperback is the fact that you can just about toss them anywhere and not have to worry too much about them. Dropped it on the floor? No problem. Killed a fly with it? Wipe it off and get back to reading. I've yet to handle a Kindle and I can't comment on it's ruggedness.
What Gail said about moving books is so true. You've got to pick up the box from the bottom.
Speaking of paperbacks, can anyone explain to me why some new PB's are taller and narrower than a normal PB? Is this some new 'metric' size of what? Was there a problem with the old size?
Nuff said.The first commenter is right - there is nothing more pleasurable (well, few things) than wandering around a bookstore on a rainy day, looking at all the possibilities of whiling away a lazy day. So browsing online, looking for ebook titles loses a lot of the experience for me.
Maggie at tethered mommy dot comI'm not particularly nostalgic about the feel, smell, or look of paper books. I am a clutter nazi, and paper books are just one more thing that takes up space and needs to be organized. So, I don't have many paper books. I have a few that have been given to me, and I keep all of my cookbooks in the paper form. Otherwise, I love the portability of the kindle and the way I can carry around my entire library and just read what suits me.
To each their own though...
I do often wonder what will replace ebooks in the future.
firstname.lastname@example.com daughter reads all her books three or four times and has hundreds, reads at 99th percentile level for her age. When she saw her first e-reader, she immediately wanted to trade ALL of her books for one. "You can carry 1,500 books and you don't have to pay more when the paperback isn't available."
Scotter, that weird size is called "upperbacks" and it is an attempt to add some sort of premium to the product. In other words, raise the price by two or three bucks. One of the first harbingers of the death of the mass-market paperback.
BTW everyone The Red Church mark-down sale is underway--99 cents for Kindle. I see most of you are paper fans so you can order it used for a penny! (Or the new edition for $14 or so).
ScottThe format of a book has never bothered me too much. I see books that I've read in hardcover, paperback and audible all in ebook formats now. That's what I read almost exclusively now. The words are what is important to me. Also saves a lotta shelf space. My problem is I have a lot of books by very early authors that are chiseled into stone and burnt onto animal hides, but not available in ebook format yet. That would really free up a lot of space in my home. That's the problem with being an early adopter of the written word.
email@example.com an interesting question/premise: what is a book? Or, these days, ask: when does a book stop being a book?
Notice that we usually define the format before saying it's a book, except for paper. I've yet had someone ask me, "Can you pass me my paper book, please?"
But say "book" and paper-bound comes to mind. This is because it was the first way a book was presented.
Now we have "enhanced eBooks" surfacing. Though I've never seen one, they seem to me not really enhanced but just a kind of hodge-podge of media.
Look at comics. There are print comics and eComics. There are motion comics, which I've seen. Look more like stilted cartoons using the original comic art as the visuals. They're narrated, so you're not reading them despite the speech bubbles and captions being present.
In general, right now my stance is a book is something very long that you read. It's what a book was when books started. So print books and eBooks I consider "real" books. Audio books--you don't read those no more than you read the fairy tales your mommy told you when tucking you in at night. Someone's reading you a story, long or short.
If there's no act of reading, it's not a book. Instead, it'd be a different delivery system to give you the same story.
Do you consider faithful movie adaptations of a book a book? No. It's the same story, sometimes abridged, just like audio books can be. We don't call it a motion-book or movie-book. It's a movie.
Make sense?
I think the ol' "duck checklist" has to apply here: if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, talks like a duck, then it's a duck. Otherwise you got something else, a platypus, maybe.That's an interesting way to put it: If you read it with your eyes, it's a book. Audio books aren't books, although ebooks are.
I used to agree with you but I can't.
I listen to a lot of books on MP3. I get the same story as a book.
I hear the words of the story in my mind as I would if I were reading it, except that the narrator usually sounds better than my own voice-in-my-head. Then I take the words the voice says and make a graphic image of the scene and "see" it play out as I "hear" it or "read" it.
Yes, the delivery system is different but it activates the same processes in my head.
A wonderful benefit of an audio book is that I can listen to a book while I do dishes, sort clothes, wash and dry the laundry, pick up after the kids, walk to work and do the grocery shopping. All the hours that made up these chores were dead time to me because I couldn't read a book -- until I started reading audio books.
One interesting thing about audio books is what happened to me when I listened to Shirley Jackson's "Haunting of Hill House".
I'd read it twice before with my eyes, but when I listened to it, I "saw" things I'd missed before -- such as when the book describes Eleanor's apartment. Listening to the narrator I suddenly realized that Jackson was foreshadowing Eleanor's tangled relationship with Theodora by telling us her roommate was a woman and alluding to a relationship without explicitly stating so.
For me audio books are as much a book as ebooks.
--Greg the Undead Rat
theundeadrat (@) gmail (.) comI agree with many others who say they don't care about the form or format, only the availability and accessibility. I read both, but usually take my kindle when I leave the house. It's just easier than hauling around a paper book, but some of my favorite authors have back-catalogues that I can't get in digital form, so I read what I can get.
geekgirlunveiled at gmail dot comMost of us learn to love books at an early age. I remember as a toddler sitting on my great grandmothers lap as she read to me. Kids, especially, need paper books because the illustrations keep their attention and they are comforted by the act of someone they love sharing the content of a book with them. I've collected childrens books all my life, and I have enough books to have my own library.
I love my Kindle and the ebooks, but I want to believe that a love affair with books begins with holding and mulling over a real paper book. While ebooks are taking a large chunk out of real books sales, I want to believe we will always be able to enjoy the pleasure of holding and reading paper books.I've always loved my books. There was comfort in the well-read pages, the way the book felt in my hands, the way that it opened to certain passages that I read over and over again. But, I live in a small apartment and have to large bookshelves filled with books, with another 2 boxes in the spare room. Ebooks have become my new best friend. They're generally much less than the "real" books, and I don't have to listen to my husband and his complaints of being slowly buried under a pile of paperbacks.
Don't worry about Kindle prices. This year we saw the Kindle drop in price tremendously. That is a trend we're going to continue seeing.
I also work in a library in Ohio and I noticed that as DVDs gained more acceptance, the price in DVD players dropped so much so that many of our staunch VHS customers shifted to DVDs.
As Kindle gains more and more acceptance, its price will continue to drop. It's a fundamental law of business in technology -- perhaps all businesses -- and I won't pretend to understand it.
However, the prices will drop and if ebooks do begin to replace books, you'll see your patrons purchase ebook readers or at least upgrade their cell phone to ones that support ebook reading.

Thanks for this lovely post! But that pic with glasses... creepy....
firstname.lastname@example.com I'm going to disagree with the point one commenter made that audiobooks are not books. To me, the real difference between books and movies (even ones that stick close to the original) is that in a movie, the interpretation has been done for you. The inflections, images, and subtleties are all presented to the consumer as the actor or director envisions them, whereas, with a book, whether it's read or listened to, all or most of the interpretation is the job of our imagination. The author may have given us many clues to guide our imagination, but ultimately, we "see" the story through the lens of our own personal experiences, which is why we can all react so differently to the same story. What one reader/listener finds horribly frightening, another may call "lame". What one considers clever, another may describe as obvious. The requisite interaction between producer and consumer is what I believe sets written works apart from all other media.
--MariaI've got over 680 books on my Kindle, most of them read, quite a few needing to be read. I know paper will be with us forever, but I still prefer my Kindle. I'm not sure why. well, I do. I always have an extra book on me no matter where I go. When I go on vacation, I don't have to lug a suitcase full of books (you relax on vacation right? Reading. LOL) Plus, it takes up less room, I never lose my page (my kids have a tendency to grab my books and the bookmark falls out), and my wrist doesn't hurt ever when I go through a long reading stretch.
Since I do reviews, I still read a lot of paper books, but the Kindle is always my first choice.- AnonymousSeptember 14, 2010 at 11:21 PM
Love the blog tour, Scott. This is a great blog site- I will be coming back here!
dreamer dot ima at gmail dot com Okay , folks, entries here capped at 93 but you're welcome to keep commenting. Jesse, yes, it's great there are so many choices for all of us--I know a lot of vision-impaired people like e-readers because they can adjust text size.
Maria, I love a good audio reading, where the actor can do voices. It's a real talent. I have done some audio samples but (as you will see in Saturday's post) I am definitely not an actor!
Scott NicholsonWhile I have no personal objections to ebooks, I love the touch and feel of books; I find I like to hold books and flip through them, something I don't get from an ereader. I just haven't warmed up to audiobooks, but I think it's because I'm usually on the go when I'm listening to them and that's probably not a good idea.

The Abbeville Police Department Tuesday morning released the name of the skeleton remains. They belong to Joseph Wayne Schexnider.
Today, June 26, would have been his 49th birthday.
Lt. David Hardy of the Abbeville Police Department said DNA results have come back from the FACE Lab in Baton Rouge and they confirmed it was Schexnider in the chimney.
When the skeleton remains were located, there was ID with Schexnider's name on it but the police were not going to release any name until they were 100 percent sure it was Schexnider. On Monday they became 100 percent sure when DNA matched that of Schexnider's.
Hardy has spoken with Schexnider's mother and his family when the skeleton was located two months ago.
She told police her son had been missing since 1984. The police also learned a warrant was issued for Schexnider by the Sheriff's Office in 1984.
She recently told police that she thought her son was on the run from the Sheriff's Office, which is why she never filed a missing person's report with the police.
The mother also informed the Abbeville Police that she did not want to talk to the media about her son, so they did not release her name or where she lives.
The remains of Schexnider were found when the bank started renovations in early May. When a contractor opened a sealed door of a chimney on the second floor, Schexnider's skeletal remains fell out.
Hardy said he did not want to speculate as to what was Schexnider doing in the chimney because he does not know.
Gloves, a lighter, a watch (not working), a comb and a cigarette case were located in the chimney.
Hardy said the case is closed because it does not look like any foul play took place.

Headless Dialer is an effort to modify the current meego-handset-dialer to support the following
This effort when completed will address some of the key handset use cases such as auto starting dialer to receive calls.
The current meego-handset-dialer was developed as a stand alone application to help GCF certification of oFono. But when in handset UX the dialer was also required to address handset specific use cases, which require it to be always running and also auto started.
In meego the recommended ways to improve application startup was to either use launcher or applifed. The documentation on this can be found here
The prestarted (headless) dialer will be auto started during boot up, but will not show any UI till it is released from prestart. The prestart release happens on a DBus launch() or MApplication::setPrestarted(false) called from application.

By Eric Morath
The views of outgoing Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, one of the lead policy makers during the financial crisis, shifted dramatically in 2007, transcripts of Federal Reserve meetings released Friday show.
Then president of the New York Fed, Mr. Geithner began that year dismissing risks posed by the housing market and later said signs of cracks at a Bear Stearns hedge fund didn't warrant a response from the central bank.
But in the final months of 2007, Mr. Geithner was warning his colleague to prepare for a coming crisis and advocated for an even stronger monetary policy response than the Fed ultimately delivered that year.
"I don't think the past four to six months have been kind to those who have argued that this was just a mild and transitory bump," Mr. Geithner said at the Fed's December 2007 meeting, according transcripts released with a five-year lag. "Monetary policy will probably have to be eased further to contain the risk of a more substantial and prolonged contraction."
That tone of anxiety stands in contrast to Mr. Geithner's stance earlier in the year, when others on the Fed's policy board were raising concerns about risk from subprime mortgages and a quickly slowing housing market.
In a January 2007 exchange with William Dudley, who then managed the Fed's market operations and would become the New York president, Mr. Geithner confirmed that subprime mortgages were just a "small" portion of overall mortgages, and that they posed relatively little risk to broader markets.
At the time, Mr. Geithner was more concerned about growing inflation a slowing economy, though he said both risks were contained.
"The most important thing for us to do today…is to convey a sense that, on the basis of recent data, we see somewhat less downside risk to growth and maybe somewhat less upside risk to inflation," he said at the January meeting.
While he was not among the initial bell ringers, by September, Mr. Geithner was firmly in the camp that thought the central bank needed to respond urgently.
"I believe the arguments work in favor of doing more now rather than less," he said at that month's meeting, after which, the Fed made its first interest rate cut of the year.
In the year's final meeting, Mr. Geithner was asking for more drastic action. He called for the Fed Funds rate to drop to 3.75%–a half point lower that the level the central bank set after its December meeting. He also said the Fed needed to consider asking large banks to raise more equity.
"We need to be very careful to avoid making both types of the classic errors in supervision in financial crises," he said. Mr. Geithner warned against the "irresponsible forbearance" of Japan's response to its 1990s economic stall.
A little more than a year after that meeting, Mr. Geithner became one of the Obama administration's leading responders to the crisis, as the Treasury headed up the Trouble Asset Relief Fund and oversaw the auto makers' bankruptcies.
Looking back at his time at the New York Fed, Mr. Geithner said this week that many did not have an appreciation for how damaging a shock might be.
"Although I was worried about it early and spent a huge part of my time at the New York Fed trying to think about it and engaging in a bunch of initiatives to try to mitigate that, the force of those actions was not powerful enough, not strong enough, didn't get enough traction early enough," he told the Wall Street Journal in an interview earlier this week.

Ipod Touch 5 VS Iphone 4S (as an Ipod)
Hi Guys,
I am considering moving away from the use of an iphone as a communication device, hence looking at the Galaxy S3 as a likely contender. However I am still tied to apple ecosystem due to other apple products I have e.g. Ipad2, ATV2,ATV3,MBPrand daughter's ipod Touch 4 ..... So I was thinking of buying a new Galaxy S3 and a New Ipod Touch 5. Then it occurred to me that rather than buying a new Touch 5, I could simply use my Iphone 4s sim free as an ipod....! So if we completely ignore the obvious such as purchase costs, Weights and presence/absence of sim slot, does the new Ipod Touch 5 have any advantage/disadvantage over the Iphone 4S ? cheers cooa99 |

That aside, the primary advantages that the touch would hold over the 4S are the larger screen and less breakable body. Disadvantages include a slightly less wonderful camera and no GPS.

If you can sell your iPhone 4S for more than a new iPod Touch, that may be a viable solution.
You will have some money to put towards your new Galaxy S3 too.

The screen alone is worth it in my opinion. I still think its a bit small but it's a HUGE improvement over the 3.5inch size. Going back to the 4s and other devices is painful. Everything feels squashed and cramped.

But if he only wants to listen to music on it, I don't think there's a need for a bigger screen.

I received a Touch 5 64B from apple yesterday so looks like I am going to return it back again.
I am not going to be watching video on it's bigger screen size is lost on me. The only advantage of the Touch 5 over Iphone4s is its better front facing camera, so looks like I will stick with the Iphone 4s and possibly buy the Galaxy S3 as well cheers guys |

for the majority of differences, the iPhone is the better way to go. Yes, you may have a bigger screen to work with on the touch, but you get more functionality out of the 4S.

New exterior colors are available, and improvements have been made to the optional Garmin navigation system. SRT8 392 models have selectable suspension settings and standard launch control for maximizing acceleration.
Along with new trim designations, the 2012 Dodge Challenger gains some new optional features including a 900-watt, 18-speaker Harman/Kardon audio system, and zinc steering-wheel paddle shifters on SXT Plus and R/T. The SRT8 392 trim gains a new 2-mode adjustable suspension-damping system and an available heated steering wheel.
The 1960s gave birth to two automotive legends: The Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro. Known as pony cars, the two came to symbolize a new era in automotive lore, which allowed these compact yet powerful performance machines to sell in droves. Not to be sidelined, Chrysler Corporation introduced its own pony car, the Dodge Challenger, in 1970. Unfortunately, the pony car era had seen its heyday and by 1974 declining sales brought an end to the mighty Dodge. In the wake of a muscle and pony car revival, the 2010 Challenger picks up where the original left off, with clearly recognizable Challenger DNA, a HEMI engine and relatively affordable price. Unlike the first Challenger, however, today's car features a modern suspension, traction and stability controls and reliable anti-lock disc brakes actually capable of controlling the car's immense power.
