text: 自然あふれるオーストラリアの田舎の邸宅 2014 年 8 月 22 日 16:12 JST fullscreen この家はオーストラリア・クイーンズランド州との州境に近いニューサウスウェールズ州北岸の田舎町にある。英国人の建設業者ロッド・ソマービルさんがこの敷地を1998年に購入し、母屋とゲストハウス、ヨガスタジオ、キャビン、ロッジといった構造の非常に異なる5つの建物を建築した。 This eclectic multi-dwelling home with rustic interiors is located in Goonengerry, a country town on the northeast coast of New South Wales near the Queensland boarder (and about a hundred miles south of Brisbane). Owner Rod Somerville, a British carpenter and builder, purchased the more than 100-acre property in 1998 and built five very different structures: a main house, a guesthouse, a yoga studio, a cabin and a lodge made from a converted Ford truck. The main home, shown here, was constructed first and inspired by an Australian dairy-bails shed. Saul Goodwin … The main home is 1,830 square feet and has three bedrooms and one bathroom. It features a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, shown here, and handmade terra-cotta tiles from Vietnam, which frame the timber floor. Mr. Somerville used reclaimed Australian hardwood throughout the property from his sideline recycled-timber business. Saul Goodwin … The porch of the main home has panoramic valley views and faces an orange grove. 'We harvest hundreds of oranges every year,' Mr. Somerville says. The property also features 1.2 miles of river frontage with waterholes, lush rainforest trails, a timber plantation with approximately 5,000 trees, and lemon and lime orchards. Saul Goodwin … The two-level guest home, shown here, is 1,991 square feet and has three bedrooms and one bathroom. 'It is kind of in the style of a Californian barn—and we then renovated and turned it [from a garage] into a guesthouse,' Mr. Somerville says. Saul Goodwin … The owner built most of the furniture, such as the coffee tables and dining table, from recycled teak and ironbark wood. He also built the kitchen counter of the guesthouse, shown here, using vintage hoop pine. Saul Goodwin … 'The living room [of the guesthouse, shown here,] is where I used to park my truck and cars,' Mr. Somerville says. Saul Goodwin … The upstairs bedroom of the guesthouse, shown here, has an en suite and a walk-in closet, and it opens onto a timber balcony. Saul Goodwin … The yoga studio, shown here, features a kitchenette at the back next to a circular window and a curved seating section in the front, which stores mats and equipment beneath it. Saul Goodwin … This olive green and cream-color cabin, which the owner rents out, sits on stilts and is hidden deep in the property's wooded area. 'It is a very beautiful and private space—you can hear the creek babbling,' Mr. Somerville says. It has one bedroom and one bathroom, and a rental rate of 250 Australian dollars (US$233) per week. Saul Goodwin … The owner converted his 1954 Ford truck into a one-bedroom home with an outdoor kitchen and an elevated bathroom. 'It's a '54 model, so we call that Studio 54 after the club in America back in the '70s,' Mr. Somerville says. It was created for the people (often foreign students looking for experience in Australia) who come to pick the oranges in exchange for food and accommodation. He refers to them as 'woofas,' which stands for 'willing workers on organic farms.' Saul Goodwin … The boat shed, shown here, is by a lagoon near the river. There is a large field next to it where Mr. Somerville likes to play cricket. He thinks the home would suit a family who enjoy an outdoor lifestyle. Saul Goodwin … 'We get the most beautiful cool breezes from the ocean just over the ridge,' Mr. Somerville says. 'There is also a natural wonderland of native wildlife, such as koalas, wallabies and platypuses.' Saul Goodwin … The machinery shed, shown here, is the owner's joinery shop. Mr. Somerville says it could be converted into a gymnasium or artist's studio. Saul Goodwin … The home was first put on the market in July. It is listed for A$2.95 million (US$2.74 million) with Unique Estates agent Nicolette van Wijngaarden. The furnishings aren't included in the sale price.

Joe Budden recently sat down with Fuse to discuss his Slaughterhouse brethren, explaining how he's excited to hit the studio to record their next album while sober. During the interview, Joey said that the quartet was abusing substances during the recording of welcome to: OUR HOUSE, but that they've overcome their demons and will apply that to their next record.
"I'll say this about my Slaughterhouse brothers, I'm real anxious to work on the next Slaughterhouse project," he said. "We all - and not to break anybody's anonymity - we all battled a lot of demons recording that last album and I think we managed to beat them all. I was high recording that entire album, and I was probably high during all the interviews as well. ... Royce doesn't drink Patron anymore. Crook doesn't drink, Joell doesn't drink. So this next Slaughterhouse project, it's almost going to be like a whole new group. I can't wait."
Watch the interview below.

These bags are rated at 2600 ci. the old n-bars were 1600 so I new they would be a bit larger? not a chance every thing from the Jandd will fit the n-bar. How can you tell the size without being there. Well any way I have a nice set of Minie men bags that I don't want.

Chobe National Park
The meandering Chobe River has one of the largest concentrations of game in Africa. This is elephant country with vast herds migrating through Chobe and the adjacent Savuti and Linyanti marshes. During the dry season the elephants are so numerous and thirsty that they provide an awesome spectacle for tourists as they converge on the river. Much of the land stretching up the panhandle down to Maun including Kwando, Linyanti, Savuti and Selinda areas of Chobe is unspoilt by tourism.
How to get there
The area is most easily accessible from Kasane in Botswana, but also from Zambia and Namibia.
Species you will see
Elephants, lion, kudu, hippo, crododiles, buffalo, impala, leopard are commonly seen. It is also an excellent area for birds with African fish eagles, jacana and many species of water birds. Carmine bee-eaters are a highlight during the summer months.
When to go
Elephant – and tourists – congregate here from July to October during the dry season. This is also the time when carmine bee-eaters are mostly likely seen. It is also a fantastic area to visit after the rains in March and April when the migrants are still in the area.
Top tips
Chobe is a relatively busy area and at sunset there can be up to 20 boats out on the water. The park is also very close to national roads and so there is a high concentration of vehicles. The best option for those wanting to escape the crowds is to visit out of season or to stay in some of the smaller out of the way camps. It is a fantastic area but a wilderness it is not.

How Stadler Form Humidifiers Help
When temperatures dip, people begin using their heating systems. While some systems will dry homes out more than others, all of them, LP, natural gas, wood, coal, and electric dry homes out. This can mean waking up with a stuffy, dry nose, chapped lips, dry patching skin, aggravated eczema, or dried out, painful sinuses. Chronically dry conditions can also potentially inhibit the ability of the immune system. As the first line of defense, mucous membranes must remain moist to effectively trap dirt and particles before they make their way deep into your airways. So when they dry, they can lose some of their ability to filter out and trap particles.
In addition to effects on the human body, when the relative humidity in your home dips too low, this can actually cause wood trim and furniture to crack or split, and less moisture in the air means particles tend to stay suspended in the air. Not encumbered by moisture and settling to the floor, things like house dust remain airborne and are more easily inhaled.
From asthma and eczema to allergies, low relative humidity can have a negative impact and cause conditions to worsen - a dry cough from asthmatics, itchy skin of those with eczema and sneezing or sinus pain for those with allergies. Each of these winter time problems can be helped with the use of a humidifier. Humidifiers put much needed moisture back into the dry air in your home. Safely and effectively, humidifiers can bring comfort back and reduce symptoms from dry, winter air.
Types of Stadler Form Humidifiers
Ultrasonic Humidifier
Ultrasonic humidifiers have steadily gained popularity since they were first created. Not only are they safer than older, boiler-style humidifiers, but they are also extremely efficient and virtually silent. Most of the time you cannot even tell they are running except for the stream of mist coming out of the top. Stadler Form ultrasonic humidifiers follow this path, with an internal diaphragm that vibrates so rapidly that it literally turns liquid water into water vapor.
Like other ultrasonics, the Stadler models offer a variety of convenient digital features like a soft touch controls, LCD Display, built-in hygrostat, and a sleep mode. Additionally, these models use a patented Ionic Silver Cube to inhibit the growth of mold and microbes as well as a demineralization cartridge to remove excess mineral content in the water. Extremely efficient, this type of humidifier works well in the most severe conditions and can put 2-3 gallons of moisture back into the air in your home.
Evaporative Humidifier
Evaporative models like the Oskar are a favorite among many people, for their ease of use and humidifying ability. This type of room humidifier uses a built-in fan and evaporative wick/filter that draws moisture up (capillary action) then disperses it throughout the home. Evaporative humidifiers are surprisingly simple but efficient in that the humidity level will rise and fall with the temperature. Additionally, as the drier air passes through the machine, the filters can actually retain some particles. While it will not replace an air purifier, in this small way, it helps keep your indoor air cleaner.
Choosing the model that is right for you involves weighing and balancing several factors, ease of use, style of humidification, replacement parts cost, where the humidifier will be used, and initial price. No matter which model you select, each Stadler Form humidifier will deliver soothing moisture back to your home.
Stadler Form Humidifier Hygiene
Keeping your humidifier operating at its best does require a little maintenance, and with an appliance that can contain standing water, there should be measures taken to ensure the water is clean and free of microbes. On the first front, cleanliness, the Stadler Form humidifiers use a couple different devices to keep mineral content out of the moisture being put back into the air in your home. For evaporative models, like the Oskar, evaporative filters or wicks help to trap mineral content. Just by the evaporative nature of these humidifiers, mineral content will often settle in the basin where it can be easily removed with a descaling agent or a simple mix of vinegar and water. With ultrasonic models, like the Hera or Anton, a demineralization cartridge neutralizes mineral content. Just remember that with this type of humidifier, you'll want to avoid using softened water as it can cause problems. For the ultrasonic models it is best to use regular, unsoftened, tap water or avoid the demineralization cartridge all together and go with distilled water.
To help keep all of their humidifiers free of microbes and germs that can proliferate in standing water, Stadler For humidifiers by Swizz Style use an Ionic Silver Cube. This tiny device emits silver ions that are a natural antimicrobial agent. Replacing this cube annually can help ensure germs or pathogens never make it into the soothing mist.

If your appliance gives off bad smells or your dishwasher leaves cloudy glasses, it most probably means there is a scum build-up in the machine.

Too many children are bullied. The National Center for Educational Statistics reports that one out of every four students report being bullied during the school year. That's a depressing statistic, but it doesn't have to be a hopeless one. Another study indicated that school-based bullying prevention programs decrease bullying by up to 25%. That's a huge impact and completely doable; the Stomp Out Bullying website will send information to anyone interested in starting a program at their school. Unfortunately, sixty-four percent of children who were bullied did not report the incident; it's heart-breaking to think that children and teens aren't asking for help. Books can be great conversation starters though and even offer suggestions on how to handle bullying. Here are some recommended picture books for elementary aged children. Adults and older children can ask a librarian to point you in the right direction for additional titles.
Yummy: The Last Days of a Southside Shorty, by G. Neri, is based on a real child who lived and died on the streets of Chicago.

His father was in jail, his mother was on the streets, and he was being raised by his grandmother, as best she could, so she said. This book takes a look at Yummy's life from the perspective of another young boy who knew him…went to school with him…lived near him…and whose brother was in the gang with him.

O.S. Reference:
Height of water level A.O.D.:
Wootton Bassett Road BridgeThe Canal emerges from the bridge under Wootton Bassett Road, parallel with the river. The bridge is plenty wide enough to accommodate both.
A footpath crosses, which will require a bridge.
There is a scrubby, marshy area through which the river and Canal will pass, until the river at present turns right and enters the tunnel under Sainsbury's carpark.
Sainsbury's TunnelThe south end of the tunnel. The iron cage around it was built in 1999, plus a useful access road. I'm not sure what they hoped to achieve.
The present plan is to build a smaller tunnel, or pipe, to take the river flow, and enlarge the existing tunnel to accommodate the Canal.
The Canal could then act as an overflow channel for storm conditions.
|The Canal emerges from Sainsbury's tunnel
The Canal now runs round two sides of Mannington Recreation Ground. The river takes the eastern side, the Feasibility Study proposes that the Canal take the western side, to preserve separation.
One lock will probably be necessary in this length to adjust the water level to pass under Great Western Way.
|The road crosses here on a fine wide bridge which could easily provide separate channels for the Canal and the river. Being worked on when the picture was taken. Normally, you can cross the road under this bridge.
There are no independant water supplies on this length.

An NGO Friday welcomed the Central Board of Film Certification's decision to give an 'A' certificate to the upcoming movie 'Heroine', saying the move will protect young children from getting exposed to tobacco use in the film.
In a letter addressed to CBFC xhairperson, HRIDAY said that CBFC has taken the decision considering that almost 30 percent of the scenes in "Heroine", directed by Madhur Bhandarkar, depict tobacco use.
The letter says that Bollywood has insurmountable influence on Indians and Indian youth regard actors and actresses as idols they wish to emulate.
"There is strong evidence and a proven link that depiction of tobacco uses in films leaves an adverse impact on the public, especially women and children. Many teenagers light their first cigarette or use their first tobacco product after watching their favourite actor use tobacco on-screen," it said.
As per the new directions of CBFC, the film will now have to show a statutory warning during every scene depicting tobacco use. – IANS

Kaplan, Jonathan (2008) The Paradox of Stasis and the Nature of Explanations in Evolutionary Biology. In: [2008] Philosophy of Science Assoc. 21st Biennial Mtg (Pittsburgh, PA) > PSA 2008 Contributed Papers.
Download (51Kb)
Recently, a paper by Estes and Arnold claimed to have "solved" the paradox of evolutionary stasis; they claim that stabilizing selection, and only stabilizing selection, can explain the patterns of evolutionary divergence observed over "all timescales". While Estes and Arnold clearly think of their work as identifying the processes that produce evolutionary stasis, close attention to their claims reveal that they do no such thing. Instead, Estes and Arnold identify a particular evolutionary pattern – stabilizing selection as a statistical descriptor – but fail to identify the processes that produce that pattern. This mistake is important; the slippage between pattern and process is common in population and quantitative genetics, and contributes to a persistent misunderstanding of the nature of explanations in evolutionary biology.

High Level Policy Forum on Development of Framework for Green Economy
Organizing partnersLead Organizer : United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP)
Co-organizer: Ministry of Environment of the Republic of Korea, Korea Environmental Industry and Technology Institute (KEITI)
Participating Partners: United Nations Environment Programme, European Union, Governments of Denmark, Sweden, the Philippines, Vietnam, etc. (provisional)
IntroductionThe side event titled ?High Level Policy Forum on Development of Framework for Green Economy? aims to identify key challenges toward green economy and explore possible policy frameworks to promote green economy with the high-level policy makers.
The side event will provide a good chance to policy makers and key stakeholders to enhance awareness of challenges and opportunities in green economy, possible policy options to shift conventional resource-intensive economic structure towards green economy, specifically in the key sectors of sustainable consumption and production (SCP) patterns, resource efficiency and green infrastructure.
Through this event, participants will share policy experiences of countries in different circumstances and seek policy frameworks to promote green economy beyond Rio+20.
Detailed programme1. Thematic focus
The objectives of the high level policy forum are to strengthen global and regional cooperative partnerships to support the transformation of economic structure toward green economy through discussions on diverse policy options and strategies. The forum contributes to promoting two key themes namely, green economy and institutional framework at the global and regional level.
The forum focuses on sustainable consumption and production (SCP), resource efficiency and access, and green infrastructure as primary thematic areas. The global community has embarked on the Marrakesh Process since 2003 in accordance with the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation and in an effort to materialize the 10 Year Framework of Program on SCP. Good practices such as eco-labels, green auditing practice and green procurement, and green credit card system are highlighted and shared among policy makers as one of concrete policy actions to promote green economy.
At the same time, the widening gap between soaring resource demand and decreasing resource supply capacity has become a key limiting factor in the promotion of green economy. Sharply soaring demand and price of resources including oil, materials and food, cast shadow on the sustainable economic growth. Moreover, environmental degradation and climate change result in the deterioration of resource supply capacity. There is an undeniably growing divergence between the availability of resources and the need to pursue sustainable economic growth.
Green infrastructure development is also an integral part of public policies in promoting green economy in developing countries. Infrastructure decides patterns of economic growth; facilitates inputs (capital, labor and resources) for economic growth; improves human development; fills the regional income disparity; promotes equitable distribution of benefits; promote foreign investment, have impact on environment and social protection.
2. Provisional Speakers and Programme
The Minister of Environment of the Republic of Korea and Executive Secretary of United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) will deliver opening speeches.
High ranking officers of UNESCAP and UNEP will be invited to make key note presentations on UN policies, green economy related policies and on-going global projects, such as SWITCH-Asia programme by EU and UNEP.
Key policy makers including President of KEITI, EU Commissioner for Environment, Secretary for Climate Change Commission of the Philippines, deliver insightful presentations on key policies related on green economy, specifically focusing on SCP policy, resource efficiency and access, and green infrastructure.
It is expected that high ranking officers and senior experts equivalent to post of Director General of countries participate in the Forum to share knowledge, experiences and good practices related to green economy policies.
3. Contributions to Rio+20
The side event is committed to providing a forum where decision makers and working groups gather to look into innovative cases regarding sustainable development and to have discussions. This will provide us opportunities to identify the gap between advanced and developing nations that hampers the shift to green economy. Plus, we will be able to find out how the differences appear during the process of policy establishment and implementation. By doing so, participants will seek ways to narrow the gap and to address challenges that we are facing.
Consumption and production is fundamentals of an economy. High level forum on SCP will serve as a catalyst to draw realistic outcome from Rio+20 by boosting implementation and development of 10YFP and accelerate the global transition towards Green Economy.

Stanford Players Reactions
Andrew Luck, Heisman Runner-up and Stanford RS Sophomore Quarterback
"This is a great day for Stanford football. My teammates and I look forward to getting to work right away and bringing a Pac-12 championship to the Farm."
"Very excited. He's a Stanford man. I've known that since he was recruiting me coming out of high school. He has a deep, abiding love and respect for Stanford. You can really tell that. He's going to do a wonderful job with this program and the players are behind him 100 percent."
"He's definitely a lot different than Coach Harbaugh in a lot of aspects. I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing. We'll have to wait and see what motivation is like from the head coach and how the recruiting is. I have a lot of faith that it will be successful and good. It's just different personalities and people go about things differently. I wouldn't say there's one right way to do it.
(Did players favor him over other in-house candidates)
"I wouldn't say there was one more favored than another. We all had great relationships with all the coaches. Obviously, I think any one of the three would have been great for the players, but Shaw is the one."
(on athletics director Bob Bowlsby opening his door to hear out you players about the coaches on staff and also his sense of urgency with recruits coming)
"I know, speaking on behalf of the players, we definitely appreciate Mr. Bowlsby opening up his office and his ears up to us. I don't know how much of a difference we made. We're still young college students."
(on Luck returning making a difference)
"I think we knew he would listen to us but we also knew at the end of the day he would have to make a decision what's best for Stanford, not what's best for the seniors now but what's best for Stanford in the coming years."
(on a smooth transition)
"It's nice not having to learn a new playbook, to be able to hit spring ball running like you were just on the field in the bowl game. I think that definitely helps in terms of making a smooth transition."
(Your dealings with Coach Shaw and his input?)
"I saw him all the time. I don't know the inner workings of the whole brain trust that was up in the coaches' office but Coach Shaw has always been a great coach since I've been here. He's always had a big hand in the offense."
Michael Thomas, Stanford Junior Safety
"Coach Shaw is committed to Stanford and committed to continuity and that's what our team needs right now. I believe Stanford is in great hands with Coach Shaw."
Ryan Whalen, Stanford Senior Quarterback
"I have had the privilege to play for Coach Shaw for four years, and I'm very excited about the hire. Not only is he a great coach, but also a great man. He has a great future leading the Cardinal."
Shayne Skov, Stanford Sophomore Linebacker
"Coach Shaw has been a coach guys have looked up to since I've been here. He is not only a great coach but somebody that allows the program to hit the ground running for next season."
Owen Marecic, Hornung Award Winner and Stanford Senior Linebacker/Fullback
"Coach Shaw is a great football coach and a man of great character. Undoubtedly, he will lead the team to great accomplishments on and off the field."
Staff and Other Reactions
Bob Bowlsby, Stanford Athletics Director
"David Shaw is exactly the right person to lead our football program at this time. David has the experience, intellect, coaching skills and organizational abilities to be a tremendous head coach. He understands and embraces the combination of world class academics and world class athletics that is required at Stanford.
"David has made a substantial contribution to the recent success of our program and our team has great confidence in him. I could not be more excited to work with David and to assist him and his staff in leading our football program to high achievement in the years ahead.
John Hennessy, Stanford University President
"David Shaw has been a large part of the Stanford football program's success over the past four years, and he has all of the experience and qualities to continue the momentum into the future. He is a Stanford graduate and a long-time member of our Stanford family who has personally been part of our scholar-athlete tradition. He understands our values. He also has a wealth of experience outside of the university, and broad respect among both those in his profession and on campus. I am excited about the prospects for Stanford football under his leadership."
Former Stanford Assistant and David's Father, Willie Shaw
"Bill Walsh told me something one time, 'Willie,' he says, 'Your son is one of the best players I've ever coached.'
"I said, 'Is that right?'
"He says, 'College or pros, he was the one guy that when he went into a game, no matter what position he was at, he could tell you the coverage, he could tell you what the quarterback should have seen, the reads that should have made, what routes should have been run. He'd tell you exactly what he saw.'
"That's why he's a good coach."
(on being a finalist for the Stanford head coaching and today's news)
"It's come full circle. It's so rewarding to see this happen 18 years later. Now I'm thinking, I didn't get it before, maybe that was why. This is even more rewarding than if I had gotten it. I'm really so proud."
(on his reaction)
"Elation. We've been praying so hard. I know this is the place he's always wanted to be. This is just a dream come true."
(on why David relates so well to the Stanford players)
"The players that are here, they were just like him. They felt what he felt as a player and a student-athlete. So, when they talk with him, and ask him questions and talk about the university, they know he understands because they're going through the same thing he went through when he was here."
Tyrone Willingham, Former Stanford Head Coach
"The sense of pride I have comes from being able to coach at a great university that believed in the same principles of life that I believed in, that Bill Walsh believed in, that John Ralston believed in, that Denny Green believed in. And hopefully David will carry those things forward, as Jim Harbaugh did in taking up the mantle of Stanford. Being the best, but at the same time not compromising your academics."

ciclesonide (nasal) (cont.)
What should I discuss with my health care provider before using ciclesonide (Omnaris)?
You should not use this medication if you are allergic to ciclesonide.
To make sure you can safely use ciclesonide, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:
FDA pregnancy category C. It is not known whether ciclesonide will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using this medication.
It is not known whether ciclesonide passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
Long-term use of steroid medication can slow a child's growth. Tell your doctor if the child using this medication is not growing or gaining weight properly.
How should I use ciclesonide nasal (Omnaris)?
Use exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
The usual dose of ciclesonide nasal spray is 2 sprays into each nostril once per day. Follow your doctor's instructions.
This medication comes with patient instructions for safe and effective use. Follow these directions carefully. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.
If needed, blow your nose to clear your nostrils just before using ciclesonide nasal.
Shake the medicine bottle well just before each use.
Before using the spray for the first time, you must prime the spray pump. Shake the medicine well and spray 8 test sprays into the air and away from your face. Prime the spray pump any time you have not used your nasal spray for longer than 4 days. Spray until a fine mist appears.
It may take 1 to 2 days before your symptoms improve. Keep using the medication as directed and tell your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after 2 to 5 weeks of treatment.
If you stopped using another steroid medication when you started using ciclesonide, you may have steroid withdrawal symptoms. These symptoms include joint or muscle pain, depression, and weakness. Do not stop using any steroid medication without first talking to your doctor. You may need to use less and less before you stop the medication completely.
Store in an upright position at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Do not allow the medicine to freeze. Keep the spray bottle clean and dry.
Throw away the Omnaris nasal spray after you have used 120 sprays or 4 months after removing the bottle from the foil pouch, even if there is still medicine left in the bottle.

This has been a week of "PhDork Reads the Times For You!" which was not my master plan, but the paper has been chock-full of tasty bites recently. So, to round out the week, here's one more: an article about the ongoing discussion in EU nations about the possibility of using castration–either chemical or surgical–to punish or rehabilitate sex offenders.
Instead of me doing a once-over, though, I'ma send you over to Cara's post at The Curvature, because her take is more thorough than mine. Also because it's Friday and I've got some non-blog bidness to take care of before the weekend. See y'all Monday.
* I know it's not about wangs, but the phrase popped into my head and I couldn't shake it. If you've got a suggestion for an alternate title, I'm all ears.

Orpyx Medical Technologies Ends Two Streaks with TEC VenturePrize Victory
There are two common threads woven throughout the past 10 years of TEC VenturePrize winners, such as 2008's DataGardens and 2010's Biolithic.
One is that every company who has ever won is from Edmonton; two, that every winning company has been headed by a male.
This week, Orpyx Medical Technologies ended both of those streaks. The Calgary-based company, headed by president and CEO Breanne Everett, beat out the competition to win the 11th annual TEC VenturePrize awards.
Orpyx's mission is to innovate "accessible and beneficial sensor-based technologies and sensory substitution systems to enable and empower consumers to actively monitor pressure to avoid unnecessary interventions and improve overall quality of life." The Canadian company hopes to, within five years, become the world leader in this technology.
"We are absolutely elated to have been awarded this year's TECVenture Fast Growth Grand Prize," says Everett. "We could not be happier with the support we have received from the Alberta Tech community, and this is really the culmination of that backing. This award will be completely invaluable in continuing to grow Orpyx, and ultimately, helping us to save limbs and save lives."

Brookside, Alabama has invited us to come out and use their park for multiple cx races this year. If you haven't been to John Bensko park you need to get out there and check it out. I think I have either ridden out there with a group or taken the kids out there to ride every weekend for the past two months…it's that awesome.
The grand opening for the new campground is next weekend 9/9 – 9/10 and we are going to have an official BAMACROSS practice out there on Sunday the 10th at 10am. Camping out on Saturday night is encouraged, I'll be there with the full Marshall clan. On Sunday we will set up barriers for dismount/mount practice and I will give assistance and answer any questions that newcomers may have about cyclocross racing. We will do barriers for 30min and then have a timed race simulation on a short course to get you acclimated to a 45 min effort on dirt. Brookside will have a festival going on at the same time, so it will be friendly for the whole fam as well as the rowdy crowd. If you don't live close to Bham and haven't had a chance to ride the course….this is your chance.
The park has bathrooms, showers, playground, hiking trails, creek beach, rope swing…
If you are planning to join us camping, make reservations with the town of Brookside. Primitive site is 10 bucks and improved sites are 20.
Let's get it on!


text: I had a free hour in school today (yes, I'm a student). I decided to go in the gym because my training was called of yesterday by the club. I went on the stationary bike (which I know, doesn't simulate an actual bike that well) at 100RPM with a moderate resistance for 20 mins, and then 20 minutes on the treadmill at 13Km/h with a slight incline. 20 minutes (the end of my bike 'session') my heart rate was hovering between 193 and 197bpm with a heart rate monitor equipment that I trust. I've always been taught in GCSE PE/BTEC Sport that 60-80% is the max range that you should be training in, this for me was 95% for me. (220-15=205 max heart rate, 195/205*100 = around 95%). Is this a bad thing? I didn't feel out of my comfort zone massively, I would of judged myself at being in 75% range mentally. I had previously done some weights, but that was for a lesson and wasn't challenging weights (if this affects things). The transition between treadmill and bike were less than 30sec, I didn't want to rest, I just didn't fancy staring and the poster about gym safety for 40 minutes.

Political campaigns are increasingly utilizing text messaging and other mobile tools as a way to reach voters and foster support. According to Yahoo, "a 0.2 or 0.3% click-through rate for ads is considered successful," compared to the "4% click-through rate" that Vincent Harris and the Gingrich campaign achieved in Alabama as a result of their campaign text messaging efforts. Mobile advertising has become an essential part of any competitive political campaign. "Zac Moffatt, digital director for presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney," reports that "10% of Romney's advertising budget was spent on digital efforts during the 2012 primary season." Campaigns are finding that people respond well to the personalized and accessible nature of cell phone text messaging. "And as phones become more sophisticated, the number of people who learn about elections on their phones is sure to grow."

Located in the heart of the Kaibab National Forest at an elevation of 6,770 feet, Williams is a small Northern Arizona mountain community. Just an hour south of the Grand Canyon, it has been host to world travelers for more than 100 years.
A Look Back
Founded in 1881, and incorporated July 9, 1901, Williams was named for the famous trapper, scout and mountain man, "Old Bill Williams."
A statue of "Old Bill" stands in Monument Park, located on the west side of the city, and the large mountain directly south of town – Bill Williams Mountain – also bears his name.
On Oct. 13, 1984, Williams became the last town on Historic Route 66 to be bypassed by Interstate 40. However, the town continues to thrive, offering visitors much to see and do.
Activities Abound in Williams
Williams offers unlimited recreational opportunities for the outdoor enthusiast. Residents and visitors alike enjoy seven area fishing lakes, hiking trails up Bill Williams Mountain and into Sycamore Canyon, an alpine ski area and cross-country ski trails, four beautiful seasons, and an abundance of wildlife.
During the summer months, nightly shootouts featuring the Cataract Creek Gang are sure to entertain both young and old, and the Grand Canyon Railway provides a scenic and leisurely roundtrip journey to the Grand Canyon that's great family fun. Bearizona, a drive-through wildlife park, offers families an exciting and educational experience.
The town boasts a rich heritage that blends the Old West and the town's Route 66 heyday years of the '50s and '60s with the trends of today. Williams' Historic Downtown District covers six square blocks, and features many buildings that were constructed in the late 1800s.
Explore the Wild at Bearizona
Bearizona Drive-Thru Wildlife Park allows visitors to drive into the forest and witness herd and pack life from the safety of their private vehicle or motor coach. The park features North American mammals, including black bear, wolves and bison, to name just a few.
Bearizona showcases America's conservation success stories in a natural setting. While enjoying a comfortable 2.5-mile drive through this beautiful 160-acre forest, families will find adventure around every corner.
At the end of the driving tour, visitors can leave their vehicles for a stroll through Bearizona's outdoor educational center and to get a closer look at many smaller animals.
Located at 1500 E. Route 66 in Williams, the park promotes conservation and preservation through safe, affordable, memorable and educational encounters with North American wildlife in a natural environment.
All Aboard the Grand Canyon Railway
Located on Interstate 40 between Kingman and Flagstaff, Williams is just a four-hour drive from Las Vegas and McCarran Airport, and three hours from Phoenix and Sky Harbor International Airport. Additionally, visitors can arrive by train on Amtrak, or those with private aircraft can fly into Williams' H. A. Clark Memorial Field (KCRM, formerly P32).
Williams is also just an hour's drive from Grand Canyon National Park. For the ultimate Grand Canyon experience, board the Grand Canyon Railway at the Williams Depot for an entertaining trek directly to the canyon's South Rim.
The daily ride offers travelers beautiful views of Ponderosa Pines, which give way to piñon and juniper forests along the route.
While at the South Rim, guests can enjoy El Tovar, a historic hotel designed by Mary Colter; the Bright Angel Lodge; and, of course, breathtaking views of the Grand Canyon.
The train departs the South Rim at 3:30 p.m. for the return trip to Williams.
Play Williams' Elephant Rocks Golf Course
Hidden amid the tall Ponderosa Pines of Williams lay Elephant Rocks Golf Course, a local landmark since the early 1920s.
Elephant Rock's original stone clubhouse has remained nearly unchanged for the past 75 years and now houses a fully stocked pro shop and snack bar to fulfill every golfer's needs.
This great course, named for the elephant-shaped rocks near its entrance, offers 18 holes of play.
In 1990, the original nine holes were redesigned by Gary Panks and were given bentgrass greens. Nine years later, Panks again added his touch with an additional nine holes, turning the course into a true 18-hole, 6,695-yard championship course, and establishing it as one of the premier 18-hole golf courses in Northern Arizona.
The combination of old and new presents a great challenge for golfers of all abilities. The stunning course meanders its way through tall Ponderosa Pines, with ample bentgrass greens protected by deep bunkers and native grasses.
Along with the beautiful layout, Elephant Rocks offers top-notch practice facilities, with full-scale, scenic driving, putting and chipping facilities.
The addition of a banquet pavilion in 2005 created a perfect venue for meetings and parties. It is available to rent year-round through the golf shop. For more information call (928) 635-4935.

The multi-trillion dollar meltdown of financial markets in 2007-09 could not have been prevented. It was absurd speculation on the part of the special Presidential Commission to even suggest this impossible nirvana. No way Jose!
Let me tell you why. As my esteemed friend Jim Stone, chairman of Plymouth Rock Assurance headquartered in Boston, puts it so succinctly; "We have wagered our place in history on our relative strength in finance. Bad bet."
The financial markets crisis could not have been prevented because Alan Greenspan, chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank, for 18 long years the power center in the nation for monetary policy, did not believe in reining in the animal spirits on Wall Street. He chose to ignore pleading from wise titans like Loews Corp. Laurence Tisch, and Wall Street great John Whitehead, who begged him to turn off the spigot of easy money and rock-bottom interest rates.
Yeah, it could have been prevented if Greenspan had actually taken steps to dampen down "irrational exuberance," his description of the craziness that began in the mid-1990s -- and continued to accelerate until mid-2007. Regrettably, Greenspan's utter and naive faith in free market ideology, makes him look a fool -- not the God-like figure we all created.
Yeah, it could have been prevented if the Clinton administration led by Robert Rubin and Larry Summers had not blithely agreed to deep-six the discipline of the Glass-Steagall Act -- which in 1933 wisely separated the activities of the investment banks and the commercial banks -- and had ensured relative stability on Wall Street for over half a century.
Sure, the meltdown could have been prevented if these very same chaps in cahoots with the SEC and some conservative members of Congress had not ambushed an attempt to regulate the fastest growing financial market in the world -- the explosion in the use of derivatives -- from being regulated in any way, shape or form.
The leverage unleashed by these new securities was never understood or considered to be a danger despite warnings from wise heads like Warren Buffett. Ignorance ruled the day.
Yeah, the meltdown could have been prevented in 2004 if SEC Chairman Bill Donaldson and 2 of the other 4 Commissioners had not buckled under Wall Street's demand that the ceiling on the use of leverage -- borrowed money -- be raised to unimaginably dangerous levels like being able to borrow $30 or $40 for each $1.00 of capital the banks held. So was endangered the entire financial system with the verdict applied from Washington, DC.
Yeah, the meltdown could have been prevented if only Tim Geithner, then resident of the New York Federal Reserve Board, had only carried out the duties handed him to oversee, i.e. regulate the money center banks like Citigroup. He did nothing to protect the system before the crisis exploded and the financial system was threatened.
I've been dying to ask Geithner if he ever reviewed Citigroup's financial statements to recognize just how dangerous to its survival were the excessive off-balance sheet operations that were not at all in the "shadows" of the shadow banking system -- but were right there in front of him. Need I remind you that Citigroup shares fell from $60 to 97 cents in 2009?
Yeah, maybe the panic that ensued in September 2008 might have been prevented if Hank Greenberg -- while he was CEO and Chairman of AIG -- had liquidated the $240 billion of risky credit default swap contracts on his balance sheet -- or if his successors had comprehended the hari-kari they were committing by doubling the 100% leveraged book of insurance to over $500 billion of disaster waiting to happen.
And I could go on. But, I'll leave you with this uncomfortable and disturbing thought. The absurdity of this commission's conclusion is expressed so bluntly by Douglas Holtz-Eakin, the Chicago economist, who revealed yesterday that the majority Democrats on the commission and the Republican minority were so alienated from each other they weren't even communicating -- well before the reports were even written.
All this sordid and tragic mess that Wall Street made for itself with the passive lack of assertion by those responsible for cleaning up the mess. And how ironic it comes in the wake of hedge fund operator John Paulson making for himself some $5 billion in one year of operation -- an unbelievable multiple of what the chairman of Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan Chase earn -- which is not chump change either.
So, I turned to a financier I highly respect, Jim Stone, chairman of the CFTC in the Carter administration, now the CEO and Chairman of a private insurance company in Boston, Mass. -- Plymouth Rock Assurance -- a hardy competitor to Berkshire Hathaway's Geico.
Here's what Stone sent me; It's definitely food for thought.
"I think the crash would have been easy to prevent: leverage limits of 5 to 1 (or even less) would have done that. Cut leverage and we can all relax a bit."
"A society can be judged by whom it chooses to reward most highly. The closer the reward scale is to the contribution scale, the better for the nation's future. A trader may be brilliant and honorable, as many are, but their work is not of the sort that will keep America a great, strong nation. That problem is not so easily correctable. We have wagered our place in history on our relative strength in finance. Bad bet."

I created a SocketChannel to a remote server to send and receive messages on Tomcat. To receive messages from a remote computer, I used a thread dedicated to task (only this thread will read from the socket, nothing else).
When some bytes are received at the SocketChannel (I keep polling the SocketChannel on non-blocking mode for new data), I first read 4 bytes to get the length of the next message, then allocate and read x bytes from the SocketChannel, which is then decoded and reconstructed into a message.
Below is my code for the receiving thread:
public void run() {
while (true) { //Don't exit thread
//Attempt to read the size of the incoming message
ByteBuffer buf = ByteBuffer.allocate(4);
int bytesread = 0;
try {
while (buf.remaining() > 0) {
bytesread = schannel.read(buf);
if (bytesread == -1) { //Socket was terminated
if (quitthread) break;
} catch (IOException ex) {
if (buf.remaining() == 0) {
//Read the header
byte[] header = buf.array();
int msgsize = (0xFF & (int)header[0]) + ((0xFF & (int)header[1]) << 8)
+ ((0xFF & (int)header[2]) << 16) + ((0xFF & (int)header[3]) << 24);
//Read the message coming from the pipeline
buf = ByteBuffer.allocate(msgsize);
try {
while (buf.remaining() > 0) {
bytesread = schannel.read(buf);
if (bytesread == -1) { //Socket was terminated
if (quitthread) break;
} catch (IOException ex) {
if (quitthread) {
The first bytes I received from the SocketChannel is fine, and I successfully decoded the message. However, the next time I read from the SocketChannel, the socket skipped ahead about 100 bytes, which caused the wrong bytes to be read and interpreted as length, causing everything to become corrupted.
What is wrong with the code? No other thread is reading from the SocketChannel.

New Delhi, The Ajay Devgn-Salman Khan starrer "London Dreams" and Amitabh Bachchan starrer "Aladin" have failed to send the cash registers ringing in the first week of their release.
Despite being big budget outings, both movies have failed to bring in footfalls. This is the third week in succession post Diwali that saw the release of disappointing content after movies like "Blue", "All The Best – Fun Begins" and "Main Aurr Mrs. Khanna".
"'London Dreams' and 'Aladin' both have been losers in terms of recovering production costs. They don't seem to be recovering even half of the costs. It is again a bad phase for Bollywood – this time post-Diwali, as no movie is able to perform on merit," Joginder Mahajan, a Delhi-based distributor told IANS.
"Even forthcoming movies 'Ajab Prem Ki Ghajab Kahani' and 'Jail' that release this Friday, are only limited for multiplexes and have not generated any buzz," he added.
Amit Shah, chief manager (programming) of DLF DT cinemas was also of the same opinion.
"'Aladin' has been a disaster both content and collections wise while the maximum response has been for 'London Dreams' though even it has been only average and not as expected. Both movies are over now in terms of business, as they have brought in whatever they could over an extended weekend," said Shah.
"Now, much is expected from 'Ajab Prem Ki…' though 'Jail' will start slow but considering it's a Madhur Bhandarkar film, it just might pick up," he added.
Produced and directed by Vipul Shah, "London Dreams" stars Asin Thottumkal as the female lead. Rannvijay Singh and Om Puri too feature in pivotal roles about the story of friendship with a musical background.
On the other hand, "Aladin", a contemporary take on the classic fairy tale has been directed by Sujoy Ghosh and produced by Sunil Lulla and Ghosh himself.
It stars Riteish Deshmukh in the lead opposite debutante Jacqueline Fernandez. Amitabh Bachchan stars as a genie in the movie while Sanjay Dutt essays a negative role.
"'Aladin' is a flop film and 'London Dreams' has done just average business… We are hoping 'Ajab Prem…' should open well, as it is a family oriented comedy while 'Jail' has its own audience," said a source from PVR cinemas.

I can't agree with you with respect to the Newey designed McLarens. In the two years Kimi came second in the WDC with McLaren, he suffered five DNF's. That's not a lot. And some of those involved crashes or engine failures - things which can't be blamed on Newey's "fragile" design. KR did not win those years because either he or his car were not fast enough.
