The Wonders of Transitional Fossils
Evolutionary Transitions in the Fossil Record of Terrestrial Hoofed Mammals by Donald R. Prothero is a somewhat perplexing article. It attempts to identify "transitional fossils" as evidence for evolution and ancestors. Not exactly 'new' or 'exciting' by any standard, but it is why and for whom the article is written - Evolution: Education & Outreach. Not exactly the best way to promote evolution to an audience of science school teachers, especially when you have this to say:
- "Creationists often scoff at the notion that there are fossils that show how the giraffes evolved, but they could not be more mistaken […] However, Nikos Solounias (2007, personal communication) is currently publishing a description of a new fossil of the giraffid Bohlinia that preserves a neck that is intermediate in length between Giraffa and the okapi. Thus, we do know how the giraffe got its long neck, and we have the transitional fossils to show how and when it occurred! Once again, the fossil record has provided a specimen whose very existence the creationists have long denied" (Prothero, 2009:297-298).
- "Creationists attempt to discredit these examples by saying that our switch from an orthogenetic linear model of the 1920s to the modern bushy branching pattern somehow denies that this fossil evidence does show change through time, but this only reveals the creationists' lack of training in anatomy and paleontology" (Prothero, 2009:301).
- "Arguments such as this reveal the dogmatism and complete intellectual and scientific bankruptcy of creationists" (Prothero, 2009:301).
Discovering "that preserves a neck that is intermediate in length between Giraffa and the okapi" is not evidence for a transition between a short and a long neck. Firstly, we have no evidence to suggest that either taxon is ancestral to the other, thus leaving the "short neck – medium sized neck – long neck" a hypothetical transformation that is as equally valid as "long neck – medium sized neck – short neck". Prothero (2009) is using a very old paleontological argument that was rejected in systematics many years ago during the cladistic revolution. No matter how well we understand our group, its taxonomy, paleontology and anatomy, we can never know if one taxon is ancestral to another. Identifying an ancestor is purely speculative and subjective and not empirical in any sense. So, sadly for Prothero (2009), the fossil is merely, well, a … fossil. Not "transitional fossils to show how and when [evolution] occurred!"
Another example is the discovery of a four legged sirenian:
- "Known as Pezosiren portelli ('Portell's walking sirenian'), it has the characteristic skull and teeth of a sirenian and even the dense bones of the ribs so typical of the group. Yet this creature had four perfectly good legs complete with terrestrial hands and feet, not flippers as seen in the living sirenians [...]One could not ask for a better example of a transitional fossil! It closely parallels the intermediate pattern of locomotion seen in walking whales such as Ambulocetus (Thewissen, this volume). When creationists have addressed this discovery at all (on their websites; none of their books mention it yet), they show their complete ignorance of the basics of anatomy and paleontology. Their argument boils down to 'if it has four legs and feet, it can't be a sirenian,' even though the details of the teeth, skull, and even the ribs share the specializations unique to the entire order Sirenia" (Prothero, 2009:301).
The danger of inventing transitional fossils in this way degrades systematics and makes it far easier for creationists to prey on evolutionary biologists. We have all the evidence we would ever need to state that sirenians are an evolutionary group. Namely monophyly:
- "In the past decade, the monophyly of the Tethytheria was also confirmed by later molecular analysis" Prothero (2009:300).
We nominate Prothero (2009) for the 2009 Pewter Leprechaun for the abuse of paraphyly by unnecessarily using transitional fossils to support arguments for evolution when other sufficient evidence exists (i.e., homology and monophyly).
A Plea: Protists are microbes too!
Not so much a Paraphyly Watch but more of a 'non-group quest', Caron et al. (2009) make the request that "Protists are microbes too". Now, one might wonder what a microbe is. Caron et al. (2009) provide some insight:
- "Strictly speaking, microorganisms [microbes] are defined by their size; that is, organisms that are smaller than can be resolved by the naked eye ..." (Caron et al., 2009:6).
- "If we define microbes by cell size, then most protists qualify as microbes" (Caron et al., 2009:6).
Of course, they never get around to defining a protist – because they are undefinable as well – and paraphyletic (or even polyphyletic). Given this logic, we ask "Why stop there?" Let's add mites, fleas and tardigrades too!
In defense of Patrocladistics
Oh dear:
- "Rigid cladistic viewpoints in classification face a serious difficulty in that they disregard evolutionary data (Stuessy & König, 2009:347).
- "For us, paraphyly is a type of monophyly (groups with a single common ancestor […]), and this is acceptable in classification depending upon the degree of divergence of the derivative group from its progenitor" (Stuessy & König, 2009:347).
- "Cladistics has provided us with significant quantitative avenues to reconstructing branching patterns of phylogeny, but quantitative evolutionary approaches offer classification with the highest information content and predictive value for society. Self-limiting only to branching patterns, however easy it may be, is not the solution for evolutionarily based biological classification" (Stuessy & König, 2009:348).
- "We propose here a method of incorporating patristic distances, or evolutionary divergence within lineages, into an explicit method of producing a branching diagram (called a patrocladistic tree or patrocladogram) […]morphological divergence). This should eliminate, or at least significantly reduce, the controversy over how to deal with paraphyletic groups. Discussion will rather shift to the characters and states involved with patristic distance and their relative weighting against synapomorphic character states. Such discussions on which" (Stuessy & König, 2008:595).
Our money is on Stuessy & König (2009) as winners of the 2009 Pewter Leprechaun (at least by 2 lengths). We hereby nominate Stuessy & König (2009) for the coveted prize for the misuse of paraphyly by confusing it as monophyly or meaningful.

March 20, 2009
LOS ANGELES -- UCLA Anderson Senior Associate Dean and Professor Alfred E. Osborne, Jr. was honored by the Greater Los Angeles African American Chamber of Commerce (GLAAAC) with the President's Award at the 16th annual Economic Awards Dinner on March 19, 2009. Honorees at this event included, Earvin "Magic" Johnson, who received the Executive of the Year Award; California Assembly Speaker Karen Bass, who received the Julian C. Dixon Public Service Award; and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who was presented with the Chairman's Award. GLAAAC has been building economic and political coalitions to further the development of African American owned businesses. The awards are presented to individuals and corporations who have contributed to the economic growth and development of the African American economic base.
GLAAAC President Angela Gibson acknowledged Osborne's contributions in building managerial capacity among African-American entrepreneurs, saying, "As the founder of the internationally acclaimed Harold and Pauline Price Center for Entrepreneurial Studies at UCLA Anderson, Dr. Al Osborne established a Management Development Program for Entrepreneurs (MDE) that has improved the strategic and technical skills of hundreds of businessmen and women in California. MDE has been a model for success for more than fifteen years, and we are proud to recognize his contributions to the economic growth and vitality of our community."
"This award is significant recognition to me and UCLA as it celebrates our involvement in the Los Angeles community," said Osborne. "However, our effort in the Price Center would not be possible without the steadfast support of UCLA Anderson faculty and corporate sponsors such as AT&T, Sempra Energy and Union Bank, who recognize that building strong and diverse entrepreneurial businesses is vital to their economic interest as well. I applaud GLAAC and these sponsors for their commitment to business excellence, and I am privileged to be able to work with them."

Blocks: Compare Word Documents Online - GroupDocs
GroupDocs Comparison Block for Moodle is a universal web-based document comparison tool that allows you and your website visitors to compare two Word documents, PDF files, Excel spreadsheets or PowerPoint presentations right on your Moodle website. The main benefit of such an approach is that it can handle cross-platform/version incompatibilities when managing document revisions. In order to compare two versions of a document with this block, neither you nor your website visitors need to download or install any additional software, including the one that the documents were originally created with. Instead, documents can be compared online, and all you need for that is a modern web-browser.
Compare Two Documents of Almost Any File Format
GroupDocs Comparison supports all common business document formats. With this tool you can compare two Word documents (including DOC, DOCX, DOCM, DOT, DOTM, DOTX, TXT, RTF, ODT), PowerPoint presentations (PPT, PPTX), HTML documents and Excel spreadsheets (XLS, XLSX, CSV).
How The Document Comparison Block Works
Please note. To use the GroupDocs Comparison tool, you need to register with us. first. We offer a free 14-day trial so that you can test everything before buying our service. 1. Once you've created an account at GroupDocs, install the GroupDocs Comparison Block on your Moodle website, using this instruction. 2. Now, using this block, you can seamlessly embed documents that you want to compare into your Moodle web-pages. GroupDocs will convert the documents into HTML5 so that they will be rendered as real text documents, not flash or images. 3. GroupDocs Comparison will merge the documents automatically and highlight all differences between the two versions. Added text and formatting is highlighted with underlines and removed text - with strikeouts. 4. You can invite your colleagues, partners or clients to review the compared documents right on your Moodle website. And thanks to using HTML5 technology, website visitors don't need to install any browser plugins or Flash in order to view the compared documents - any modern web-browser can handle the embedded documents itself. 5. When you compare two Word documents, you can merge them and save as a single DOC or DOCX file with the Change Tracking feature turned on. The document can then be edited offline by accepting or rejecting differences between the two document versions.
Have Questions?

- Tue, 10 Sep 2013, 11:21 AMMany thanks for sharing this plugin with the Moodle community. I noticed that you have a version for Moodle 2.4 which does not have the addinstance capability defined. This is required for all blocks in Moodle 2.4 - you can find more information about this at http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Blocks#db.2Faccess.php. I would also recommend that you consider renaming the Github.com repository to follow the Moodle naming convention which is moodle-{plugintype}_{pluginname} - so for this plugin it would be moodle-block_groupdocs_comparison. For now I am going to mark this as needing more work while you tidy up these details. It also helps if you provide a tracker URL - most likely the link to Github issues for your repository. I appreciate your patience with this review process. Please do not hesitate to let me know if there is anything I can do to be supportive of your efforts. Peace - Anthony
- Mon, 23 Sep 2013, 6:05 PMHi Anthony, thank you for review, we fixed all issues please check.
With best regards from GroupDocs Marketplace team
- Sun, 29 Sep 2013, 8:11 AMIt looks like you may have fixed the issues in Github.com. I would still encourage you to rename the repository moodle-block_groupdocs_comparison as the current name and setup is inconsistent with the way that branches in repositories are normally handled. If you could create a MOODLE_19_STABLE branch and then a MOODLE_24_STABLE branch. I would also encourage using the default Moodle license language for the version.php as found in http://docs.moodle.org/dev/version.php. Until the new version is provided, I am going to mark this as needing more work but I would also recommend using the time to tidy up the Github repository. Once things are ready, just add a new version of the files and I will review them. Peace - Anthony
- Mon, 30 Sep 2013, 2:19 PMHi Anthony, thank you for review. We have created a branches and updated version.php file. Also we add branch name to the repository info block.
With best regards GroupDocs Marketplace team
- Wed, 2 Oct 2013, 11:26 AMFrom what I can see the Github repository name still has -source appended to it and has directories instead of branches for the different versions. The more recently uploaded files here in Moodle Plugins do not have the version of Moodle selected for which they are intended to work and thus are not showing up as the latest version. That is likely what made me think that you had changed things on Github and not here in Moodle Plugins. For now, I'm going to mark this as needing more work. I would really like to get the Github repository fixed up so that the branches are being used properly. Peace - Anthony
- Wed, 2 Oct 2013, 11:53 AMOK, I see that you did create a new repository moodle-block_groupdocs_comparison but did not update the URL here in Moodle plugins. The new repository contains zip files but it is better if the branch contains the actual files. See something like https://github.com/arborrow/moodle-block_birthday for an example. If you have questions, just let me know. Peace - Anthony
- Fri, 4 Oct 2013, 7:20 PMHi Anthony, we updated repository as you advised. Also we add links to branches. http://screencast.com/t/IQaBuaAVTg5 Is it correct?
- Mon, 7 Oct 2013, 2:20 PMThanks for working out the issues Anthony mentioned. The repository looks fine now.

AMD Trinity Review: The A10 5800K and A8 5600K Break Cover
Results: SiSoft Sandra 2012 SP5c
The very latest version of SiSoft Sandra supports AVX and FMA3/FMA4 instructions. This gives us a relatively good idea where performance should shake out in the majority of our tests, or at least where it SHOULD shake out if these programs adequately identify all of the features present.
Arithmetic shakes out about where we expected things. The Trinity based processors are faster than the old 3870K, but trail the i3. They also trail the Phenom II X4 in floating point power. Note how close the A10 5800K is to the FX-4170.
When we get to the multimedia tests, we see the impact of the new instructions on performance. AVX is being used for the single precision int test, and it certainly shows against the older 3870K and Phenom II parts. Again we see the A10 5800K stay very close to the much faster clocked FX-4170.
Video News
did you turn off turbo core in bios?
also I'm sure a bios update is on the way
also make sure you use a good heatsink cause it will throttle
Yea, Tigerdirect has them
I think the units for SiSoft Sandra memory bandwidth results should be GB/s, not MB/s.
so what was the power usage when OC'ed to 4.4ghz ?
I will be doing more testing throughout the week of overclocked performance. Apparently there are a few settings which are deletrious to good overclocked results that we were unaware of (like the above mentioned Turbo Core). Apparently there are others as well. Once I get a better lock on overclocking, I will throw up some numbers here.
They need to drop these into some x86 tablets. That's where the real advantage comes I think.
They also need to do a deal and get these in tv or tv boxes.
Great review, thanks again Josh.
I was afraid this would happen again. I really want AMD to pull ahead or at least catch up.
Barely keeping up with an i3 isn't keeping my hopes up. I would buy a new AMD CPU in a heartbeat if it could even come close to an i7. I want AMD to win dammit.
I realize that they are constantly working on the next CPU, i really hope somewhere down the line they just stop working on this architecture and go back the the Phenom II architecture (K10 I think) or at least re-release it along side bulldozer.
Is that possible? Or just too costly?
To this day they are still faster, just more power hungry. Not much of a down side IMO.
Why aren't they pumping more cores in stuff? That would help a little wont it?
EDIT: oooh didnt see the tablet comment, that would be a great idea. Trinity Win8 tablets would be a huge advantage for AMD. I'm sure they can keep up with an Atom.
I don't want to rain on your parade, but i really have to disagree with a few things you said. Going back to the phenom II architecture = throwing in the towel and going out of business. AMD is NOT faster and more power hungry. It's slower and more power hungry. Why aren't they pumping more cores? They did do that with Bulldozer, and it has not been what people want as far as performance goes for MOST (some may still be appreciating 8 cores for small niche groups).
You misunderstood what i meant. Sorry, to be clear. I was talking about the Phenom II architecture being faster and more power hungry, in relation to AMDs new CPUs (it still pulls far ahead in most of the benchmarks).
Its quite obvious they are slower and less efficient than Intels offerings.
I bring up going back to the Phenom II architecture so that AMD can actually compete. Instead of being the "Affordable" CPU manufacturer, and not competing at all.
I was thinking more along the lines of 10 cores minimum (Clearly 8 wasn't enough) or perhaps im being naive thinking that you can just throw more power at the problem.
For the record i wold be SO SOLD on a 10 or more core consumer part. Its just cool IMO, fastest or not.
This is my belief based off of their releases so far.
They knew where they were at in generalized 'speed' or processing power, and new their architecture could not continue scaling into higher clocks and higher core counts and keep up with hyperthreading. I really think AMD tried to make an architecture that scaled well for multiple cores and high clock speeds. I think their processor lines show they succeeded in this, it is almost arbitrary for them to include more cores.
Now they are optimizing that core architecture (increased Instructions Per Clock, etc.) and that is the effort that will bring them back into the performance game. Running more real cores, higher overclocks (5Ghz+ wooo!), and close to or better IPC, will make people wonder WTF Intel has been doing. They have licenced Intel's 3D trigate patents so they can continue scaling down with their manufacturing processes too.
AMD chose the less risky route here by optimizing their core count scalability then optimizing core operation, but it is also the longer slow & steady route. If they had tried to create Optimized high clock high IPC cores it is MUCH riskier.
They would either be back to dual core counts with the possibility their design does not scale into high core counts in which case they have to scrap that work when trying to design a high core count processor.
Or they are try to design an archecture that does it all and the results of that all coming together for one processor design is very risky in terms of ready time and design performance, which has a high possibility to leave them with a mediocre architecture they are unable to build upon to continue competeing.
Just to complete the picture, it is rumored that AMD tried to solve the major bottlenecks of the Bulldozer with Piledriver: scheduling and L2 cache speed. There are some tests at xbitlabs AIDA64 memory benchmark - the results show that in most Bulldozer and Piledriver are similar, but L2 read bandwidth of Piledriver has risen dramatically, almost doubled: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/amd-a10-5800k_4.html#sect0
This could be a major reason (along with double the scheduling queue) why the A10 that has no L3 cache managed to stick quite close to the FX 4170.
Anyway, this probably doesn't bring that much of a performance benefit to make Piledriver look good, but as far as I remember this is the first time since Clawhammer (anyone remembers that one?) that AMD hasn't degraded the speed or latency of the cache on a next-gen CPU. Let's hope the L3 in Vishera continues on this route.
Another great review from a great man.. Well close enough :P
Still as the review goes, I do wonder how much lack of L3 cache has on performance. I know AM3+ Piledriver is still a few weeks away, I just hope it will make an upgrade from my 1090T worth it.
Still any speculations how much L3 cache could improve in terms of CPU performance? 5-10%?
Is there a way to test Buldozer cores with L3 disabled and enabled to see how much performance hit there was?
Now back to Trinity. New socket is a killer for me, but it is nice that AMD accnowledged this and stated that there will be at least one more CPU architecture (steamroler?) for the socket before AM3+ and FM2 fuse into one socket.
If only Blender3D would support OpenCL rendeirng on AMD GPUs, I would be inclined to think of this setup. For now only mobile Trinity seams to make sence at this point.
the results of you cinebench r10 for the i3 2105 are MUCH, MUCH LOWER than the normal score...
please re run the benchmark, make sure to test it in 64bits.
We are redoing tests here and will look into it.
This is a very narrow product line - nothing more than quad-core? The price varying only from $71 to $122? No part less than 65W? Aimed almost only at gamers.
Obviously the objective here was to get the FM2 socket exactly right so it can remain stable until late 2014. By that time, Thunderbolt has either replaced all these various nasty display ports, or it has not. Also by that time, PCIe 3.0 x32 devices will be more common and the full 52GB/s of the HTX bus should be available at the DDR3, DDR4 or DDR5 RAM interface. And, 10 gigabit ethernet will either have come down in price (thanks to Thunderbolt) or be irrelevant to desktops and NAS (thanks to Thunderbolt). By 2015, with these existing buses all maxed out, and the IEEE P1905.1 standard settled so that things like powerline networking's interface to the PSU can be settled, and Thunderbolt vs. DisplayPort vs. 10 gigabit Ethernet settled somehow... FM3 or whatever can be stable from 2015 to 2018.
Maybe longer. The desktop will be dead by then, and the mainboard is going to be sitting in your wall near your electrical box or cable head, and talking to your refrigerator as much as to your TV.
Expect some ARM cores (for very low power idling) in the very next FM2 processor release. That's the only way to respond to Haswell. Expect also some X6 X8 X10 and X12 processors in that lineup, and a few low-power options below 50W (with the ability to rely on ARM core to respond to routine network and device events to keep that power draw much lower in practice). Much more price variations, perhaps from $50 to $200 or even $300.
Given the graphics performance of these October 2012 chips though, it's entirely reasonable to rely on the embedded graphics and use the PCIe x16 slot for a PCIe SSD - basically equivalent to slower RAM given the FM2 direct chip connection. Imagine 100GB RAM or 250GB RAM for a few hundred bucks (some OCZ PCIe SSDs sell for as little as $2/GB so that's $200-$500, same as a good video card).
Given the excellent multi-core performance of database engines, and the very low price of these chips, it's possible you could see lots of FM2 processors used in database hosts. Especially if there is a way to use OpenCL to do the processing on all those shader cores...?
This is a good preview for Vishera Piledriver. When that time comes, can see see the desktop Piledriver Vishera review with a Core 2 Duo (like Q6600), i7 920, 2600k, 3770k, and Phenom 2 quad and hex (and of course old FX).
AMD's Trinity platform is a good platform, yes it trades blows with the i3 with Intel's chips hitting hard when it comes to single threaded applications. However AMD hits Intel hard on entry level gaming.
When it comes down to Power Consumption I feel that the whole story isn't being published. Intel's HD 4000 just doesn't cut the mustard to games and basically requires a ext. video card to edge out the AMD APU. With that said I have yet to see a power consumption table to show what the i3 or i5 have with an ext. video card. AMD's APU already has a full blown video card on die and reflex it in it's power consumption. Intel's on die GPU is to show lower power consumption on the charts but knowing full well no one in there right mind would would run it that way.
true sad thing of these tests, fact that no one in their right mind uses intergraded cpu graphic's to play games. Yet AMD seems happy to beat intel in these, since its only thing they can win in.
All kinds of people in their right mind play games with integrated graphics. My children can play all their DC Universe, Roblox, Hero-Up, and all kinds of other 3D games which run perfectly fine on integrated graphics. They don't play Crysis, or BF3, or Skyrim, but the games they play are designed from the ground up to be played comfortably on integrated grahpics. I'm actually impressed by how DC Universe looks on an APU. Plays pretty smooth, looks good, and it is a cheap platform for users.
keep us updated on the overclock hunt
have you tried a better cooler?
cpu OC? igpu OC? memory OC?
how does it perform when overclocked?
be cool to do a video review of the overclock ;)
Looks like Llano 3870K is a much better buy at this stage. One can just clock its gpu to 900Mhz and blow away all the Trinity A10-5800K benchmarks above!. Llano does not seem to perform as well in the CPU side when clocked to 3.6Ghz from 3Ghz. The fact the Trinity is so highly clocked means that the K parts are pretty useless as the OC headroom is very small. Shown here only 4.4Ghz max which is really poor. This shows that AMD is putting a small headroom "buffer" in their Trinity chips. Intel , however, can be clocked to such frequencies fairly easily!.
I own an AMD A8 5600k and i want to ask you what video card to choose from these:
http://www.msi.com/product/vga/R6670-MD1GD5.html#?div=Specification varianta dual fan
I want to know if i can use all of them in dual graphics mod, AMD recomends HD6570 and HD6670 for this processor
Very great post. I simply stumbled upon your blog and wished to mention that I've really enjoyed surfing around your blog posts.
After all I'll be subscribing in your rss feed and I'm hoping you write again very soon!

Here's a photo recently posted to the CSEA website showing "State Executive Branch Negotiating Team members Matt Greenhouse, standing, center, and Frank Strack, seated, right, [counting] state contract ballots today along with other negotiating team members and CSEA staff."
The counting is closed to the press; the final tally is expected later today.
Update: PEF's spokeswoman Darcy Wells said the state's other major public workers' union employs a private company, the American Arbitration Association, for all of its elections and contract votes — including the mailing, receipt of ballots and counting. The company is based in New York City.
"Our contract team is present for the count and anyone else can observe as well if they wish," Wells said. (She was going to see if that might include members of the media.)
UpdateX2: Wells says PEF members only are allowed to watch the count. Dang!

Assemble to engine using the proper gaskets (paper – felt – paper). 5. Using the locknut (26) adjust the free play of the throttle cable (2-3 mm) 6. Adjust the idle mixture screw – turn in completely then out 1 to 1.5 turns 1. Remove one of the spark plug caps, and with the cap shorted, adjust (11) to decrease RPM's to a point of being minimally steady. 2. Adjust the mixture (15) out until RPM's decrease. Turn in until RPM's increase slightly. Then turn in screws ¼ to 1/3 revoultion. 3. Do the same for the second carburetor with the first spark plug cap shorted. 4. With both cylinders, adjust each idle (11) on each carburetor the same amount each until it's at a steady, minimal RPM. Use small changes. (at this point you can use your airflow tool to check). 5. Sharply increase, then decrease throttle. Then engine must return to low RPMs smoothly. If the engine goes below limits, readjust (11) from step 4. Synchronization of the K68 Note: Rather than using the opposite cylinder shorted to test the pull of the live cylinder carburetor, you can use something like a Twinmax connected to the test ports (27 Fig 1). Or, if you have a model without these ports, use a Synchrometer (Appendix 2) held against the face of the carburetor. These tools merely show airflow passing through each carburetor (which is dependent on the position and wear on the slide). If using these tools, it's not necessary to do the following steps. You wil want to use a throttle guide (Appendix 1), to show airflow at various throttle settings. Using the flow meter of your choice make sure each carburetor is the same at the various throttle settings. 1. Place the motorcycle on the center stand ensuring the rear wheel is suspended 2. Make sure you have large area to work with (safety issues here) 3. Shift into the highest gear with the engine running 4. Short one spark plug cap to the cylinder (using a nail or something in the fins) 5. Increase the speed to 40-50 km/hr 6. Fix the throttle using the throttle (maybe using a throttle stop screw under the throttle housing). 7. Reconnect other cylinder and using the opposite carburetor determine the speed which should be the same as the first. 8. Adjust the position of this slide to achieve the referenced speed using the locknut at the top of the carburetor.

So, I only have this weekend and a few school days (8-13 January) to make my Claymore to accompany my William Wallace essay for school.
The problem is, the weather is being a bitch and from one moment to another it might start raining. I obviously can't work in the rain but even if it isint raining I can't set my stuff up with the pavement wet and humid, it would damage the wood and it wouldn't be very safe to use power tools.
Today I drawed and planned everything. Tomorrow I hope the day is cool so I can cut, sand and glue everything up.
Sorry for the Yule stuff, we are repacking things...
Btw, if you are interested, check out my katana Project!
NOTE: Ill be getting the material for painting and coating for both the Claymore and Katana once the first one is built.

MENLO PARK — Facebook unveiled a new video feature Thursday for its Instagram photo-sharing service, in a move that underscores the growing popularity of apps that let users post and watch short digital movies with their smartphones.
Instagram, which says 130 million people use its service to share photos with friends, has now added a simple-to-use feature for sharing video clips up to 15 seconds long. That's more than twice the six-second limit on the popular Vine video-sharing service operated by Facebook rival Twitter, though other rival apps offer longer formats.
While Instagram chief Kevin Systrom said the service has no immediate plans to sell ads, analysts said the 15-second length may appeal to advertisers who are already used to buying 15- or 30-second television spots. That's probably no coincidence, said Clark Fredricksen, vice present at the industry research firm eMarketer.
"The fact the videos are 15 seconds could make a significant difference in the marketing potential for Instagram," said Fredricksen, who noted that several commercial brands, including General Electric, Burberry and Lululemon had already used the new service to post their own video clips on Thursday. Businesses can use Instagram in the same way they can create their own pages on Facebook, without necessarily buying ads.
Systrom, however, said the 15-second length was a "Goldilocks" decision, chosen because six seconds seemed to limit users' creativity, while longer clips might overload a smartphone's processor or take more time than people want to spend.
"Over time, we'll figure out how advertising ends up being OK on Instagram in a useful way," he told reporters during an event at Facebook's main campus. Facebook bought Instagram last year in a deal valued at roughly $750 million.
Facebook and Instagram have been working on new video services for months, and the pressure to enter that market has increased since Twitter bought Vine last fall. Vine has caught on with many teens and celebrities who like creating short, often jokey, video clips to share with friends.
While the Vine app is not a big moneymaker, analysts say Google (GOOG) has shown that it can reap significant revenue from showing ads along with videos on its YouTube site. eMarketer recently projected that U.S. advertisers will spend $4 billion on digital video ads this year, doubling to $8 billion by 2016.
Other video-sharing apps, including Keek, Tout and Socialcam, have also become popular with teenagers and young adults in their 20s. Analysts say it's important for Facebook to offer new services that appeal to that demographic, since younger users are often drawn to the latest new thing.
Systrom acknowledged the recent explosion of video-sharing apps, but denied that was the reason for Instagram adding video now. He said he had thought about sharing photos and video when the service was developed three years ago, but technology at that time didn't allow fast and simple video-sharing.
With recent software advances, however, Systrom said Instagram was able to create a video app that he described as "fast, simple and beautiful — everything we know and love about Instagram, but it moves."
The service works with Apple (AAPL) and Android smartphones. Users can choose from 13 optional "filters" to alter the appearance of their videos, in a manner similar to Instagram filters for photos. Systrom also showed off a feature that uses a smartphone's motion sensors to automatically smooth out the wobbliness that often plagues handheld videos.

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. — Chris Mackowski, associate professor of journalism and mass communication at St. Bonaventure University, is helping bring the undead back to life for iPad users.
Mackowski's work is featured in the inaugural issue of an interactive digital magazine called Undead Zine, launched this month for the Apple iPad.
Mackowski, who taught an online class at St. Bonaventure this summer called "Pop Culture: Tales from the Zombie Apocalypse," was recruited by the editors of Undead after they saw a series of zombie-related posts he had written last semester for the blog Scholars & Rogues (www.scholarsandrogues.com).
"Intelligent, quality writing on the zombie genre is not easy to find, so it was very refreshing to read Chris's writing," said Undead co-creator and editor Matt Hill.
Mackowski's piece "Zombies: The New Media Darlings" serves as an introduction for the launch issue. The magazine also features an article by Mackowski titled "Night of the Living Dead: The Birth of the Modern Zombie," which serves as the magazine's cover story.
Undead, based in England, is the world's first interactive, digital zombie magazine, available through Apple's popular Newsstand app. The magazine offers in-depth features, interviews, and reviews in addition to videos, image galleries, and web links over more than seventy pages.
"The team behind Undead Zine decided, over a cool glass of beer or two, to dip their toe in the murky waters of living dead culture and see if creating a digital magazine on the subject was a feasible idea," Hill said. "Within days, we knew it was something we had to do, with zombie fans, writers, artists, and even Lego builders giving us the thumbs-up and helping us out. We're very proud of our first issue, which provides intelligent and entertaining comment on all manner of zombie-related issues, and can't wait to share our enthusiasm with zombie fans across the world."
The first issue focuses on the 1968 zombie classic "Night of the Living Dead," which Hill describes as "the film that started it all." The issue also features interviews with the writer and director of the new zombie film "Harold Goes Stiff" and zombie artist Rob Sacchetto, previews of two Osama Bin Laden zombie films, and an interview with author Daryl Gregory, who discusses his zombie novel "Raising Stony Mayhall," with an excerpt of the book included.
In its second issue, the magazine will include features by Mackowski that focus on George Romero's 1978 "Dawn of the Dead" as well as Zack Snyder's 2004 remake. The magazine will also feature an interview Mackowski did with zombie expert Matt Mogk, author of the Stoker Award-nominated "Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Zombies."
More information on Undead can be found at www.undeadzine.com. The application for the magazine can be downloaded from the Apple's Newstand app.

To this end, I accessed the website for the high school located just a few blocks from where Chris and I live, clicked on "Email the Principal," and wrote the following:
Anyone who's kept up with my blog recently knows how much I've thought of the book It Gets Better. Against copyright laws, I've quoted from it readily and unabashedly, and I've used it as inspiration for several posts. I can't speak highly enough of the simplicity and the importance of its message, and I'd be ecstatic if every Canadian school made this critical resource available to students across the country.
If you're a Canadian reader, and you'd like to follow my lead, by all means use the text of my letter above (if you want) to make contact with your local schools.
You've heard of "Adopt a Highway"? Well, how about "Adopt a School"? Let's make sure every gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, or questioning student has access to It Gets Better. We have a responsibility to support our youth in any way we can.
P.S.: I'll let you know what response I receive from the local school principal.

Furyk Has Lead Heading to Final Round of PGA
Jim Furyk has a one-stroke lead going to the final round of the PGA Championship.
Furyk shot a 2-under 68 on Saturday at Oak Hill, capped by an 18-foot birdie on the tough 17th hole and a clutch putt from the fringe to save par at No. 18.
The 43-year-old American pumped his fist emphatically and headed off to the clubhouse, out front heading to Sunday in a major for the first time since last year's U.S. Open. At Olympic, he lost out on his second major title with two bogeys on the last three holes.
Furyk was at 9-under 201.
Jason Dufner, the 36-hole leader, followed a record-tying 63 with a 71 to drop a stroke back.
Henrik Stenson is two shots back, with fellow Swede Jonas Blixt another stroke behind.

East Carolina Teaching College was founded as an all-women's school in 1907. Seven women came together in December of 1920 to form the first student government association. It was titled the Student Self-Government Association. Josie Dorsett was the first President.
By the start of World War II much of the structure of the student government had fallen apart. The student government association in 1934 was divided into two branches including one for women and one for men. In December 1942 a mass meeting of students came together to rewrite the constitution. They formed a new government called the Student Cooperative Government Association.
One year later in 1943 the male and female branches merged to combine both men and women into one governing association. In 1947, with the ratification of a new constitution, the organization was renamed the Student Government Association. East Carolina Teaching College became East Carolina College in 1951. On June 29, 1967 the North Carolina General Assembly renamed East Carolina College East Carolina University. In the years since a number of new constitutions have been written and ratified, reflecting the ever changing opinions of the student body in their effort to self-govern.
Most recently, in 2016, a new constitution was ratified by the student body, giving the Student Government Association a more clear outline and structure, while solving many problems of the past several years.

It was a soggy Senior Day for the cross country team at Mount St. Joseph Academy, but the Magic found that victory and cupcakes make up a reliable formula for lightening the mood on a rainy afternoon.
Capturing five of the top seven places, and claiming the eighth through 17th spots, as well, the host Mounties rolled to a 20-41 victory last Tuesday over visiting Nazareth Academy. The win kept the Magic undefeated in the Athletic Association of Catholic Academies regular season, with only this week's dual meet at Villa Joseph Marie Academy left on the schedule.
Sophomore Haasinya Taylor covered Mount St. Joe's 3.1 mile course in 19 minutes, 31.3 seconds to win Tuesday's race. After Nazareth junior Veronica Wheeler came across in 19:42 to become the runner-up, the Magic strengthened their position, with third through fifth place going to seniors Meredith Reiche (20:06) and Patricia Hoffman (20:50) and freshman Julianna Kardish (20:55).
Another ninth-grader, the Pandas' Emily Smith, garnered sixth place in 21:07, then Mount St. Joe's team score of 20 was completed by a third freshman, Jane Prior (7th; 21:09). A long procession of MSJ's purple singlets followed, and the next finisher for Nazareth (2-5 in AACA dual meets) didn't appear until 18th place.
A week earlier, the Magic had made a major stride with a 26-30 victory over longtime nemesis St. Basil Academy, six-time league champion and the 2011 Class AA state titlist. St. Basil garnered first and second, but the Magic got the job done with depth, taking the next four places.
Last Tuesday, there was only intermittent light rain during the Nazareth meet, although downpours earlier in the day had drenched the course. It was muddy and slippery in spots, especially along one wooded section. However, with a brief return to summer-like temperatures forecast for the middle of the week, Tuesday's precipitation was not unwelcome to many of the runners, including MSJ's Taylor.
"The rain really doesn't bother me," the sophomore said. "I'd rather run in cooler weather, anyway."
A few runners slipped down in muddy patches on the circuit, but there were no injuries.
Rounding out the top ten overall finishers were three more Mounties, juniors Alyssa Kist (8th; 21:12) and Annie McCabe (9th; 21:31), and senior Adrienne Cellucci (10th; 21:39).
In the 22-minute bracket for Mount St. Joe were seniors Brittany Robbins (11th; 22:02) and Rachel Heller (12th; 22:04), and sophomores Georgia Kelly (13th; 22:32) and Madeleine Reiche (14th; 22:58). Reiche is the younger sister of Meredith Reiche, and the 15th finisher was number four Patricia Hoffman's twin sister, Kathryn (23:17).
Likely to complete an undefeated regular season in league dual meets this week, the Mount has legitimate aspirations to win the AACA title at the championship meet on October 16. Overall, the Magic are in a better position to achieve that goal than they were in 2011, when they hoped to pull an upset but finished third for the second year in a row.

Getting Started
It is difficult to keep up with the rapid changes in technology. The advent of Web services and service-oriented architectures makes "keeping up" all the more important, because these technologies are fundamentally changing the way we build our internal systems—those that support our organizations—and how internal and external systems will interact.
We are on the cusp of building "plug-compatible" software components that will reduce the costs of our software systems at the same time increasing the capabilities of the systems. Sure, you have heard that promise more than once before. And more than once, the delivery fell short of the promise. But, as with such promises, they will come true some day. That time is now.

I think summer has finally made it to our fair valley. It has been quite hot enough for me. How about you?
On Tuesday my neighborhood lost its power for about an hour. Of course I was working on my computer at the time. Suddenly, everything shut down. The monitor went blank and there was complete silence — no whirring of the machine, no voices telling me that I had mail. Even worse, the air conditioning stopped. I hope this isn't a preview of what we can expect from our power company when it gets hotter in days to come, as it surely will.
I guess the one constant we can count on are cool evening concerts throughout our area to soothe our frazzled nerves. Such was the case on June 22, when the Hollywood Bowl held its annual opening night gala. This is the 91st season for the venue, which is pretty darned impressive and such a grand Los Angeles tradition.
There is such a magical cache about going to the Bowl. It is part of the summertime fabric for Angelenos.
A bonus for the opening night audience was the presentation of the 13th annual Hollywood Bowl Hall of Fame, which honored and inducted Reba McEntire, the "Queen of Country," and Chaka Khan, the "Queen of Funk."
The benefit concert raised more than $1 million for the Los Angeles Philharmonic's music education programs, which serves more than 120,000 youths, families and teachers every year.
Over the years there has been supportive participation of La Cañada Flintridge residents on the governing boards of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association, which also includes the Hollywood Bowl. Local residents currently serving on the board include Vicki McCluggage, Tony Cannon and Teena Hostovich.
There was such an air of excitement on opening night as concertgoers brought picnic baskets to spread out their feasts in several picnic areas while others dined using the tables in the premium, and coveted, box seats.
Many of the attendees that evening first gathered at a wine and hors d'oeuvres reception hosted by Wells Fargo in the shady special-event patio. They then moved to their seats within the Bowl, where they dined at tables with white linen tablecloths. The three-course gourmet dinner was prepared by Patina, and was accompanied by carefully selected wines.
Just as a lavender twilight was nestling into the Bowl, the program began with greetings from the stage by Thomas Wilkins, principal guest conductor of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra.
The program began with the orchestra playing Bedrich Smetana's "Dance of the Comedians."
Famed singer and actress Julie Andrews, who looked lovely in her elegant full-length taffeta gown, joined Wilkins on stage. Andrews was emcee for the evening, introducing the two fabulous honorees, McEntire and Khan. Guest presenters included Lily Tomlin, via a video presentation, and Randy Jackson and Melissa Peterman, who were present at the gala.
McEntire and Khan were sensational as they each performed before the crowd. Standing ovations were given to both the entertainers.
A highlight of the evening came when wind and brass players from the Youth Orchestra Los Angeles at the Heart of Los Angeles performed for the first time on the Bowl stage.
Heart of Los Angeles, known as "HOLA," partners with the Los Angeles Philharmonic to bring orchestral music to underserved children in Los Angeles. The Youth Orchestra LA, known as "YOLA," is a free music education program that provides participating students with intensive after-school orchestral instruction and academic tutoring.
The evening ended with a beautiful fireworks display that was coordinated with the last song performed by Khan.

1990S NBA'S MOST UNDERRATED PLAYERS VOL. Eat lead, slackers!
Being underrated is not a bad thing. It never was. It's a good thing because people know you are good, but do not get enough credit. That is it. The only bad thing is the lack of acknowledgement. Then again, who cares? An underrated player gets to do their thing without the attention, spot light, and talking heads analyzing and scrutinizing almost every single thing on the basketball court. Let this be known that the real players move in silence. Past editions are here and here.

Phillies issue statement on Halladay's shoulder
Philadelphia, PA – Roy Halladay underwent successful right shoulder surgery Wednesday and the Philadelphia Phillies released a statement Thursday regarding his status.
Halladay hopes to pitch again this year.
"He had an arthroscopic evaluation and underwent debridement of his labrum and rotator cuff as well as removal of an inflamed bursa," Phillies director of medical services Michael G. Ciccotti said. "He'll begin a progressive rehabilitation program and if all goes well, he may possibly begin a throwing program in 6-8 weeks."
Over seven outings this season, the two-time Cy Young Award winner Halladay, who turned 36 on Tuesday, is 2-4 with an 8.65 ERA.

*'Pas mi Ellin varvaros' = 'Every non-Greek is a barbarian'. This is to be understood as uncivilised, inarticulate and unreasoning. Charmed, I'm sure.
I mentioned earlier the Greek love of bigging up the Greek language at the expense of other tongues. This is the sort of thing you get used to reading and hearing if you live in Greece for any length of time:
'Greek is the basis of ALL the world's languages.' You mean like Chinese, Japanese, Lardil, Kivunjo…?
'It is the oldest language in the world.' Sorry, no. You can only say when a language is first attested in written form, and this is not the same as saying it's the oldest. Sumerian and Egyptian developed writing systems first, both appearing about 3200 BC and predating written Greek by some fifteen hundred years. Looking for the 'oldest language' is a waste of time anyway. This is linguist Larry Trask in an interview in The Guardian, June 26th, 2003: "There are no dividing lines. The speakers in every generation can understand their own parents and their own children without difficulty. In fact, the speakers in every generation could understand the speech of quite a few generations back, and quite a few generations forward, if they could hear it. You are separated from Chaucer's Middle English, and from King Alfred's Old English, by a series of generations all of whom could understand earlier and later speech. Once the time gap becomes suitably large, of course, comprehension becomes increasingly difficult, and it eventually declines to just about zero. But there are no breaks, no discontinuities. Those boundaries, like the 1500 dividing line between Middle English and Early Modern English, are arbitrary. There was never a moment when people stopped talking Middle English."
'It is the most complicated language in the world.' Why don't you have a shot at learning Inuktitut, and get back to me? Bear in mind that even if you find Inuktitut grammar fiendishly complicated, any two year old Inuit finds it easy as breathing. Complication is in the eye of the outsider.
'The Greek alphabet, recited, is an encrypted prayer to the sun.' Yeah, yeah.
'You can say things in Greek that cannot be said in English.' That is only because you don't know enough English.
'Learning Ancient Greek will make you a better, more generous and humane person.' This is the view of one Panagiotis Zachariou (of whom it was once said 'who?') an irrepressible proponent of the superiority of Greek over other languages in the pages of Greek ELT News. Reflection on the content of what you read in any language has the potential to improve the mind and sweeten the soul, but the language in itself could never do that. You can be a classicist and a cunt, and you can be unlettered and have a heart of gold.
A few years ago at dinner in Plaka I was arguing with member of the company I'll call Kostas about daft folk etymologies, which abound in Greece. He had just given me in all seriousness a megillah about the derivation of the noun θάλασσα (thalassa), Modern Greek for 'sea'. It went as follows:
1. The sea is forever changing
2. The sea is salty
3. Salt changes (the flavour of) things
4. Salt is αλάτι (alati) or άλας (alas) in Katharevousa
5. 'To change' is αλλάζω (allazo)
6. The future iterative form 'I shall change' is 'θα αλλάζω' (tha allazo)
7. This sounds a bit like θάλασσα (thalassa) if you stretch and pull the pronunciation a tad.
8. So there.
I thought this was bollocks and said so. (Retsina can make you very outspoken) For one thing, the ancients in Athens didn't say 'θάλασσα' but 'θάλαττα' (thalatta) and the modal particle θα, (tha) translated above as 'shall', is not found in Greek until the Middle Ages. It's a telescoping of θέλω να (thelo na) = 'I want to', a pattern seen also in neighbouring Albanian where 'do të' also means 'I want to' and is used in same way as the Greek θα. Moreover, words are not coined by committees, musing over this and that pretty conceit before exclaiming 'OK, done! Let's call it that, then!' Imagine it, a group of sages sitting in an olive grove, gravely debating and weighing the possible labels for all things:
'What term, άραγε, were most meet for the liquid element, that big blue sloshy affair that starts where the sand ends?'
'If a man dip his finger therein, shall his finger not as a consequence taste of salt?'
'It is undoubtedly so'
'May we not say, therefore, that it is the virtue of this liquid to bring about a marked change in the taste of whatsoever be dipped therein?'
'Most assuredly'
'And is it not the nature of this liquid to rise and to fall, and ever of itself to be changing, even as it changes that which might be dipped in it? Were not then 'thalassa' the only correct term?
'It is most marvellous! That's that one thrashed out. OK, then, moving on. What about those white fluffy-looking things floating in the other blue thing we decided we'd call 'ouranos' the other week?'
They'd be at it yet, most things still unnamed.
This mockery did not please Kostas, as no foreigner who is not, as he put it, 'steeped in the language' gets to voice a contrary opinion without provoking a sulk. I was not wholly sure about the non-appearance of θα before the Middle Ages – but Kostas couldn't prove me wrong and was pissed off that my reaction to his explanation was one of scorn rather than dumbstruck admiration.
Another one is the debate over the origin of 'OK', which many Greeks are certain derives from ΄Ολα Καλά (Ola Kala) meaning 'all's well'. There are dozens of theories about this and I couldn't care less which is true. I would just like the supporters of a Greek derivation to explain how it could come about that people in early 19th century Boston began to use the initial letters of a Greek phrase to mean everything was under control. They never do. You don't need to explain what you know in your blood, you see.

tyger needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 108 designs submitted by 28 freelance designers.
We're making it easier to solve the world's biggest scientific problems by providing a programming platform for designing new forms of life.
The name Tyger comes from a William Blake poem that alludes to the complexity, beauty, and fun of the world we live in. We're a platform that makes it easier for scientists and programmers to share their discoveries with each other, distribute big problems, and more.
We believe in open standards, sharing scientific discoveries with others, and are trying to pioneer a patent-free genetic future through an open platform.
The target audience is very small, very well educated and very web savvy. They include synthetic biologists, computer programmers, biotech engineers and entrepreneurs.
These are very curious, experimental academics and hackers. They tend to love the natural world and outdoors, but probably spend the vast majority of their time in front of a computer screen.
In terms of look & feel, we think we want something that blends the natural world (potentially tiger imagery) with computers, engineering, standardization, programming, industrial standards, etc. One example of this can be seen at http://www.igem.org, where they have blended a bacteria with a gear. But we don't like their logo at all.
We will be primarily a web-based business, so the logo needs to look great on a website and it should come with colors that are web-friendly. Plus, we'd also like clean design and would prefer a simple approach to one that tries to an overcomplicated blend.

Dr. Henry Heimlich, inventor of Heimlich maneuver, dies in Cincinnati hospital
Heimlich, 96, stayed active with memoir, nonprofit
Heimlich, 96, stayed active with memoir, nonprofit
The man credited with inventing a maneuver to save choking victims has died at age 96, officials with a Cincinnati retirement home said Saturday.
Dr. Henry Heimlich died just after midnight Friday night at the Deupree House in Hyde Park, Ohio where he lived. Heimlich had been hospitalized since suffering a massive heart attack on Monday.
The surgeon wrote the book on saving choking victims through his namesake Heimlich maneuver.
His views on how the maneuver should be used and on other innovations he created or proposed put him at odds with some in the health field.
Heimlich still responded to emails and letters about his work and made guest appearances with the Heimlich Heroes program, designed to teach young people how to use the Heimlich maneuver, in the last years of his life.
In a statement released Saturday, Heimlich's family said; "We are saddened by the loss of our father, Dr. Henry J. Heimlich, who passed away earlier today at the age of 96.
Dad was a hero to many people around the world for a simple reason: He helped save untold numbers of lives through the innovation of common-sense procedures and devices. But he was not only a physician and medical inventor, he was also a humanitarian and a loving and devoted son, husband, father, and grandfather."

I love eggplants. My husband–hmmm– not so much. My kids will eat anything. I usually don't announce the fact that there are eggplants in any menu items and if asked I pretend I have hearing loss.."what did you say? Oh, why does it taste like eggplant?" (that's the evasive maneuver). We haven't had eggplants for a while and I was inspired by coolcookstyle's amazing eggplant flatbread recipe she came up with for a recent cooking challenge. I found some wonderful Japanese eggplants and decided to make Moussaka.
One of the matriarchs of the Greek community here in Salt Lake City, Georgia Katsanavas, is a great cook and I have had a copy of her recipe for years have eaten moussaka many times but never actually made the dish myself. I decided to look through the recipe and see if I had all the ingredients…I did, but I decided to add and change a few things…this is NOT Georgia's original dish for those who are lovers of her amazing food, but it is definitely based on her recipe.
This is not a weeknight dish because it takes a bit of time. It's also kind of rich, so it's not a monthly recipe either. That being said, this will definitely be on my list of things to make for special dinners or occasions. It came out incredible and tasted heavenly. One of those dishes where you take a bite and close your eyes at the same time and make a MMMMM noise. Like my friend Ernie would say, "It's slap yo mama good!" I had a wonderful Sunday dinner and Grantley got past the fact that there were eggplants in it….it was that good!
4-5 firm Japanese eggplants, sliced lengthwise
4 Tbsp olive oil
Meat sauce
2 pounds ground extra lean ground beef (traditionally lamb is used)
1 large onion
1 large red bell pepper
4-5 cloves garlic, grated or minced
1 inch piece of ginger, grated
2 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp tomato paste
1/2 cup red or marsala wine
28 ounces of canned diced tomatoes, pureed in a blender
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp allspice
1/4-1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
handful of fresh flat leafed parsley
fresh oregano, about 1 tbsp chopped
Some honey (optional)
Bechamel Sauce
6 tbsp butter
1/2 cup flour
2 1/2 cups milk
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup goat cheese
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (reserved for sprinkling on top)
1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
Slice the eggplants length wise and sprinkle each piece with a little salt and let them sit for 15 – 20 minutes.
In the meantime heat a medium-sized sauce pan with 2 tbsp of olive oil and saute onion, bell pepper, garlic and ginger together. When vegetables are tender add in meat and begin cooking until no longer pink. Add in cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, cayenne pepper and salt and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add in tomato paste and wine and mix to incorporate. Let it simmer for 4-5 minutes until all the wine has evaporated. Add in the pureed tomatoes and let it simmer gently to let the flavors marry and some of the liquid evaporate, about 10-15 minutes. Add in parsley, oregano and a couple of tablespoons of honey (if needed to balance out the acid of the tomatoes) before taking off the heat.
Using a paper towel soak up all the excess water off the eggplants (the salt should have drawn that out). Brush lightly with about 4 tbsp olive oil and grill on a hot grill (or you can roast them in a 375° oven for about 20 minutes) about 2 minutes on each side or until nice and tender.
Prepare the Bechamel sauce:
In a medium sauce pan heat the butter. Using a rubber spatula or whisk mix in the flour and keep stirring until it's a light golden brown color and the flour flavor is gone. Slowly add in the milk and the bay leaf. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. Add in the ricotta and goat cheese, nutmeg and salt. Turn off heat and stir until all the cheese is melted and nicely incorporated. Take out the bay leaf.
Spray with cooking spray a deep 9 x 13 pan. Layer the bottom with half of the eggplants. Put half of the meat mixture on top and spread evenly. Cover the meat mixture with the remaining eggplants and put the rest of the meat mixture on top. Pour the Bechamel sauce on top of the meat mixture and spread smoothly. Sprinkle the top with the Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of nutmeg. Put completed Moussaka on a cookie sheet to catch any bubble ups and bake for 40 minutes in a pre-heated 400° oven. Serve warm.

Writing over at ShakeStir, Paul Clarke has launched a new column called In My Experience. ShakeStir is a relatively new platform for bartenders, meant to provide information and advice about managing their professional interests. Clarke's column provides a good look at what ShakeStir is all about. He interviews veteran bartenders about work/home balance, managing money, drinking, staying healthy, and generally keeping your sanity while working long shifts in the service industry.
His first two interviews feature a couple of guys who know a thing or two about working behind the stick: Dale DeGroff and Gaz Regan. The questions are smart and the answers incisive and wise. I'm looking forward to future installments.
Incidentally, I have a profile there, if that really matters to anyone.

Barring a snag in negotiations, Brett Brown will become the 76ers' next head coach. The team has offered the job to the San Antonio Spurs assistant, according to sources. The two sides are working on a contract to bring the 52-year-old to Philadelphia.
If he accepts, Brown will become the team's eighth head coach since Larry Brown resigned after the 2002-03 season.
This news comes as no surprise. Brett Brown has been the candidate the Sixers coveted to replace Doug Collins, who resigned on April 18, for some time.
The New York Daily News reported during the June 27 NBA draft that the Sixers had decided to hire Brown. General manager Sam Hinkie later denied the report. Then on July 31, a league source told The Inquirer that Brown was the preferred candidate for the job.
Brown takes over a team that finished 34-48 this past season and appears to be seriously rebuilding.
The Sixers traded Jrue Holiday, an all-star point guard, and acquired the rights to rookie center Nerlens Noel in a deal with the New Orleans Pelicans on draft night.
They also received the Pelicans' 2014 first-round pick, which is protected from picks one through five, and a second-round pick (42d overall) in this year's draft.
The Sixers also acquired Royce White, who has an expiring contract, and the rights to Turkish star Furkan Aldemir from the Houston Rockets for future considerations. And the team claimed two former Rockets, guard James Anderson and center Tim Ohlbrecht, off waivers.
Brown should bring a winning attitude to an organization expected to struggle. He learned from three premier coaches on three levels: his father, Bob Brown; Rick Pitino; and Gregg Popovich.
Brett Brown joined Popovich's Spurs staff in July 2002 as an assistant coach/director of player development. He moved to the bench as an assistant coach before the 2006-07 season.
The Spurs have won three NBA titles during his tenure. They just missed out on a fourth, losing in Game 7 of the NBA Finals to the Miami Heat in June.
Brown played for Pitino at Boston University from 1980 to '83 and was the team's most valuable player in 1981. In high school, Brown played at South Portland (Maine) for his father, a New England Basketball Hall of Fame coach. Bob Brown went on to become an assistant coach at Boston University while Brett Brown played there.
Brown's seasons as director of player development in San Antonio would be a huge benefit for a youthful Sixers squad. While they have huge upsides, rookies Michael Carter-Williams and Noel also have huge bust potential. So the next coach must be a good developer of talent.
Brown had a hand in the development of NBA all-star point guard Tony Parker, whose scoring average went from 9.2 to 15.5 during the first season he worked with Brown.
Before the Spurs, he coached 14 seasons - nine as a head coach - in the Australia National Basketball League. Brown also coached the Aussies' national team to a seventh-place finish in the 2012 London Olympics.
Brown, Boston Celtics assistant Jay Larranaga, Chicago Bulls assistant Adrian Griffin, and Atlanta Hawks assistant Kenny Atkinson were in New York this week for second interviews with the Sixers. The four met with Sixers managing owners Josh Harris and David Blitzer.
Sixers assistant Michael Curry, a holdover from Collins' staff, was also in the running for the job.

About this font family
Brandon Grotesque is a sans serif type family of six weights plus matching italics. It was designed by Hannes von Döhren in 2009/10.

The mad geniuses at Operation Sports have put out a custom roster file that comprehensively updates one area that MLB 10: The Show cannot, according to its contract: Real minor league players.
Any minor leaguer who has never appeared in the majors is off limits to Sony San Diego (it has to do with group licensing of images with the Major League Baseball Players' Association.) So Washington's flamethrowing phenom Stephen Strasburg, drafted last year and presently in Double A, won't officially appear in this video game until he debuts for the Nationals.
You can circumvent that with the free, user-created Full Minors V. 1 roster from the Operation Sports community, currently available through SportsConnect on The Show. To get it, log in to SC, and check the Roster Vault for a file named OSFullMinors2010V.1, uploaded on April 6. Features include:
• Faces and features for the top five to 10 prospects for all franchises.
• AAA team lineups and rotations adjusted to reality "as best as possible."
• All real players.
• All players on an MLB roster now included.
• Lineups and rotations set as of Opening Day.
I went and pulled it down myself just now; I can't imagine playing franchise or season mode without it. And considering how deep the face-generating engine is in the game, the amount of work put into creating realistic appearances for top prospects deserves recognition. This is one of the finest custom roster files you'll find for any game.
MLB '10: The Show Rosters: OS Full Minors V.1 [Operation Sports]
