Inspiration Can Come From Anywhere
When I started working on "Finding Nemo" (or "Toy Story 2," or the big software projects I directed at Pixar), one of the first orders of business was to pull together an inspiration reel, a collection of moments that represents the tone and spirit of what we were hoping to create. Recently, I asked some designers at other startups if they'd share examples of mobile experiences that they found inspired, exceptional, surprising in a good way, or just delightful. Folks started sending us some great stuff, but a few asked me what an inspiration reel was, why I was pulling one together, and how my team here at ToyTalk would use it.
We're designing products that we hope will end up full of win, so it seems reasonable to surround ourselves with a big pile of already-existing win. Moments, gestures, experiences, reveals, color, timings, movement, lack of movement, or other specific things that stand out at just the right moment, in just the right way, and change an experience or propel a story forward in a remarkably efficient manner.
A collection of moments like that constitutes an inspiration reel, and we want to put one together so that we can watch it again and again, initially to help us get started and, sometimes, to suggest quick, stand-in solutions for design problems that we don't have time to solve at that particular moment. But later on, we use it to look back at something concrete that reminds us of what got us started in the first place. When one gets lost in the sea of infinite details and nerdy decisions on the way to shipping real product, being able to go back to where a design journey began can offer a little bit of calm and reassurance when one needs it the most.
Inspiration reels tend to be a collection focused on a theme. Pulling some examples from previous work, we built collections of awesome moments of cinemascope films for "A Bug's Life," lots and lots of water for "Finding Nemo," 70's sci-fi for "Wall-E," and prison movies for "Toy Story 3," digging deep into each of these areas to understand what has worked in the past and why.
But then there is the other kind of reel, which is more broad in terms of inspiration and includes piles of random and amazing things. Watching these kinds of inspiration reels can often lead to "peanut butter in my chocolate" moments where two separate things suddenly come together to make something entirely new and exciting.
Movies aren't apps, and apps aren't movies, but efficiently communicating intent, meaning, feeling, and purpose is common to all good design. Remember... ... when you saw that flock of little buttons in Path spin, anticipate, and then gather up in the corner. ... when you heard ObiWan say, "That's no moon. It's a space station." ... when you poked the button in Uber to summon a car, and then a magic map was revealed, showing you your car as it drove toward you. ... when Brody said, "You're gonna need a bigger boat." ... when you hesitated and don't pickup the next AngryBird and the pigs, getting restless, started to murmur in the background and you deeply understood their discontent. ... when Pippin asked if Aragorn knew about elevensies and, as Aragon walked away, he tossed Pippin an apple.
Taking a step back to appreciate and understand what's going on at these particularly well-crafted moments, and how they fit into the context of the larger stories and experiences that surround them, seems like a good way to help increase the odds that as we're creating something new, we will end up with something full of win.
Like when Dory casually comments, "You know, I speak whale." Boom. There's a metric ton of win.
So, in that spirit, let's see what the readers of Pando Daily want to call out and celebrate. Reply to this post and list a mobile app or two, and a specific thing that jumps to mind about why it's so awesome. No hating on other people's posts, pulling together inspiration reels is a generative process. And please, don't put your own work in the list, that doesn't count. Putting together an inspiration reel is not about self-promotion, but about gathering and benefiting from the great work of others that has come before.

Plot question
I'm sure this has been asked but I can't find any post about it. When will the plot be taking place? Will it be after Lufia I or II or even before? I'm sorry if I'm just wasting anybody's time by asking this.

Just a small cabin of 4,700 square feet on 10 acres.
Web Hosting By Brinkster
This horse-sized animal is the largest member of the deer
family with long, dark brown hair and high, long legs. A drooping
growth of hair and skin, called a bell, hangs from the throat.
Their large moving ears act like radar, providing excellent
hearing. A large should hump is formed by the upward projections
from neck vertebrae. Each April, the male (bull) moose grows
a set of antlers which can grow to be 5 feet which he loses
in the winter after rutting season.
An adult moose averages 1000 pounds and stands 6 feet at
the shoulder. Some moose weigh over 1,500 lbs.As North America
's largest wild animal, moose have keen senses of smell and
hearing, but they're also near-sighted. Their front legs are
longer than their hind legs, allowing them to jump over fallen
trees in the forest. Once in the water, moose move easily
and are powerful swimmers. During the winter, moose can easily
navigate through snow that is 3 to 4 feet deep. Moose are
the most comfortable in frigid climates.
Moose are generally solitary animals, although they may band
in small groups of up to a dozen or more during the breeding
season. Both females and males are capable of mating in their
second year. During mating, bulls battle for the female moose,
engaging in antler fights with other bull moose. The covering
on bull moose's antlers called "velvet" is shed prior to breeding
season to expose their large bone racks underneath. The breeding
season or rut runs from mid-September through mid-October.
In the northeast, moose don't form permanent pair bonds. The
bull stays with the cow only long enough to breed, then he
leaves in pursuit of another cow. Bull moose don't feed during
the rut and lose considerable weight. After mating season,
bull moose may be seen together fattening up for the upcoming
After mating, gestation is around 230 days, with most calves
born in the month of May. Cows usually bear one offspring,
although twins are common. Calves have reddish-brown coats
and weigh 25 to 35 pounds at birth. The average life span
of a moose is 5 to 6 years, although some moose can live as
long as 20 years.
Despite their size, moose can run up to speeds of 36 mph.
Moose fall prey to wolves and bears. Studies have shown that
bears can kill up to 75% of newborn moose calves in their
first 8 weeks of life. After 8 weeks, calves are able to outmaneuver
a bear.
Moose feeding habits vary with the seasons. Moose primarily
feed on leaves, twigs and buds of hardwood and softwood trees
and shrubs. A healthy moose will eat 40-60 pounds of vegetation
per day. During the fall, winter and spring, they feed on
the previous summer's growth of aspen, black poplar, willow,
birch, hazel, dogwood and balsam fir. In late spring and early
summer, moose lick natural salt deposits, found in salt springs
or roadside runoff to replenish their mineral reserves used
up during the harsh winters in Maine . In summer, moose feed
on sodium-rich aquatic vegetation. They can submerge for up
to 45 seconds to reach plants beneath the water's surface.
Cows also prefer to keep their calves near water as an escape
route for their calves. Ponds are used by both bull and cow
moose to escape black flies.
Areas that provide large amounts of nutritious vegetation
benefit moose. Forest fires induce significantly more nutritious
re-growth that by forest cut down by chain saw. In the absence
of fire, clear-cuts are the next best alternative for moose.
Large clear cuts (more than 100 acres) don't benefit moose
as much as smaller, dispersed cuts. Islands of uncut softwood
and hardwood with large clear-cuts are used by moose during
the winter. A mixture of upland mature mixed wood, regenerating
clear-cuts or burned areas and wetlands offer good moose habitat.

A magnetic device was stuck on the rear of the Israeli embassy car, which exploded in New Delhi on Monday, and the blast could have been triggered with a remote control device, Delhi Police Commissioner B K Gupta said.
Gupta, however, said it was still too early to term the incident a terror attack.
Speaking to the press at the Tuglaq road police station, which is very close to the blast site on Aurangzeb road, the commissioner said, "According to initial reports, one person on a motorbike stuck a remote-controlled device on the car, which later triggered the explosion."
Four persons were injured in the blast. 42-year-old Talyessh Ova, the wife of an Israeli official who worked in the defence wing, was injured and was later taken to a private hospital. Among the other injured was her driver, Manoj Sharma, and Manjeet Singh, who was accompanying the Innova car in another car.
"All the three people injured in the blast have been discharged from the hospital," Gupta said. He added that two passersby were also injured in the blast.
The Delhi commissioner also said that the blast was targeted at the officials. He said the police would be in a position to comment on the nature of substances used in the blast after the Central Forensic Science Laboratory team completes its investigation and submits its report.
"Investigations are going on, and we are waiting for the reports from the CFSL team, which has collected evidence from the site," he said. "We can comment only after we have the reports."
However, those present at the briefing, soon coined the term 'sticker blast' as the device which triggered the blast was pasted on to the car. Moreover, it was for the first time a blast had occurred in such a way.
"It is for the first time that we are seeing such a thing," said Gupta on the device being stuck on the car, and it being called a 'sticker bomb.'
He said the special cell of Delhi police has been given the responsibility to probe the incident, he said.
They said the attack did not appear to be a handiwork of a local gang.
Gupta said the incident took place at 3:16 pm on the Aurangazeb Road near Safdurjung Road crossing.
"The wife of Israeli Defence Attache, was on her way to pick up her two children from American Embassy school when the incident took place," he said.
According to the version provided by one of the eye-witnesses who was injured, Gupta said a motorcyclist stuck something on the rear of the car and after that there was fire in the car.
"We do not know what is the chemical used. The CFSL is examining it," he said adding there was no shrapnel.
Besides Talyesshoba, three persons -- Manoj Sharma, 42, Arun Sharma, 61, and Manjit Singh, 78, -- were injured in the incident. Arun and Manjit were in another car.
Talyesshoba suffered injuries on her back while the others had minor injuries on their faces. "Talyesshoba is stable, she is conscious. We are yet to record her statement," she said.
Asked about the attacker, Gupta said he was wearing a red helmet and a brown jacket.

In end-user (public, non-authorized user) themed output, groups of Children nodes and Link Operations are wrapped in FIELDSETs with LEGENDs. However, the content within these containers are not form elements -- it's text and HTML output.
This is a completely inappropriate use of these containers that significantly complicates styling via CSS (particularly in the case of LEGEND). It also violates the HTML 4 and XHTML specifications, which require that FIELDSET and LEGEND be contained within a FORM and be solely used "to group thematically related [form] controls and labels".
This inappropriate use of FIELDSET and LABEL also poses accessibility issues that could easily confuse users of assistive technologies.
This default themed behavior should be removed altogether. It should not even be an option. Instead, DIVs should be used.
Behavior present in versions 5.x-2.2 and 5.x-2.x-dev.
(To be clear: this applies only to end-user themed output. Use of FIELDSETs and LEGENDs *is* appropriate within the admin tools.)

That's just not true. The HTML 4 and XHTML specs do not require fieldset and legend to be contained within form elements. FIELDSET can even be the child of the BODY element. It's valid syntax to put fieldsets outside forms.
If it creates semantic problems for your documents, you can override the theme functions. The fieldset is output in a theme function, and the default functions allow you to turn off the fieldset by passing FALSE as the second parameter to theme_relativity_show_parents, theme_relativity_show_children, theme_relativity_show_ancestors.
I don't know how it would present accessibility problems if the fieldset. Did you test it with other devices?
Comment #3darius CreditAttribution: darius commented
Hi everyone,
I appreciate the discussion, and I do agree in principle with spencersundell that fieldsets should be eliminated in the display themes. However, I am busy with other relativity issues, so for now the easiest solution is to overwrite the theme_relativity_ functions with your own custom theme functions.
BTW, proposals of how to achieve the same type of display without using fieldsets are welcome. The change should be transparent to users who already rely on the current default look.
Comment #4Anonymous (not verified) CreditAttribution: Anonymous commented
It never bothered me because I don't rely on those theme functions, but they should output better code.
I don't know why a screen reader would think it's encountering a form when it hasn't encountered a FORM element. That's why I asked if you have any actual evidence that there's an actual usability or accessibility problem?
There's no great reason to use a fieldset/legend pair. I suspect it's because Drupal has a fieldset theme function that allows you to pass a title and content to it. But so does theme_item_list, and for our purpose, that might be the better way to go.
Comment #6Anonymous (not verified) CreditAttribution: Anonymous commented
I gave it a go as well, and it can be done even more simply for A-grade browsers. I tested in Safari, Firefox on Mac and IE 6.
I don't think it's possible to guarantee that we can reproduce fieldset appearances across browsers and platforms, because they all have slight variations. For example, IE adds some extra margin to the legend. If people aren't using some kind of reset CSS, I don't see how it's possible.
My example is attached. It has a TXT file extension because Drupal.org doesn't want HTML files attached.
Comment #8Anonymous (not verified) CreditAttribution: Anonymous commented
The star hack was applied to legend and fieldset elements — those elements we're not going to be using — so I don't understand your objection. If I remove all linked stylesheets, the examples still look identical.
Comment #9Anonymous (not verified) CreditAttribution: Anonymous commented
Here's a patch to get us started. All fieldsets are replaced by themed boxes.
I also removed some \n and

 that were making relativity's lists difficult to theme. And I made the children list into an actual HTML list.
If you want to keep the fieldsets, you can simply put this in your theme's box.tpl.php file.
<?php if ($region == 'relativity'): ?>
<?php if ($title): ?>
<legend><?php print $title ?></legend>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php print $content ?>
<?php else: ?>
<?php if ($title): ?>

<?php print $title ?>

<?php endif; ?>
<?php print $content ?>
<?php endif; ?>
If you have something else going on in your box.tpl.php file, obviously you should make sure you don't destroy your customizations. I couldn't find another unintrusive way to do this, because relativity currently doesn't load a stylesheet and I don't see why we should start...

It is hard to believe that a year has almost passed since I began this journey. As with everyone, a lot happens in a year! The life lessons keep coming, and the familiar cycle of a new year begins. Imagine, it is almost time for Chinese New Year 2017! Chinese New Year 2016 Where am I now?
When I started this blog, I used online instructions to create it. It clearly stated that everyone begins with gusto and within a few months fizzle out. Momentum dies, postings become less. And indeed it happened to me. It wasn't some amazingly busy life change that slowed the pace of my stories. The stories were there, and always were! I struggled between changing the names of the people involved, and just putting it all out there. After all, I am telling my story, with real people in it. How do I navigate that now?
My greatest lessons still come to me while gardening. I have found that nature, in its infinite glory never fails to teach me… how to live and how to survive. Each time I wander out to my garden I am inspired by the beauty and wonder of it all, as well as the lessons of tenacity, perseverance, and hope. When the world now is filled with so much noise, ugly noise, that gives one a sense of doom, a new bud appears on a plant that I thought was dead. And my sense of hope in nature and humanity reenergizes. One year later, I am still learning lessons, still grateful, still ready for the next great adventure.
There are moments when I fear. Brief moments that dot the passage of my day or week. Somewhere in the maze of daily living, I find reasons to rise above that fear. And I am also blessed to be surrounded by family and friends who remind me that the timing of the universe is perfect. Trust in it. See the good and the positive that surrounds me every day. Every moment of the day! It is one year later, but I must continually live in the present moment and enjoy what I have now.

Software giant Microsoft has patented the use of its Kinect interface so that it can switch off any adult content if a child comes into the room.
Apparently it is a huge problem that children are accessing donkey porn by lying about their age and can sometimes see it if they come into a room where an Xbox is switched on.
Volish Patent 20110237324 turns the Kinect into a device that censors small people.
The patent says a 3D depth camera can be used to estimate the measurements of a user's head, shoulders, torso and height in order to predict the person's age.
Of course, in Microsoft's world, short people are always children. If you're an adult who's small and short, you can easily be mistaken for a kid, and all your favorite M-rated games could be blocked every time you log into your Xbox 360.
Then there is the kid who is big who will be able to play adult games, or play porn related content to their heart's content.
Still, the idea has legs.You could ban known criminals from your X-Box and call the coppers if they try to use it.

VMware have made a change the VCP5-DT, it now has a pre-requisite, which is to attend a qualifying course before you gain the certificationqualification.
It's not as straight forward as you might think, as there are two paths open, one if you hold the VMware Certified Professional 5 – Data Center Virtualization (VCP5-DCV) or VCP-Cloud and one if your don't.
If You DON'T Hold VCP5-DCV
If you don't hold the VCP5-DCV then you need to attend one of the qualifying courses.
You are able to sit the exam and pass it without going on a qualifying course, you just won't have the certification appear on your transcript.
If You DO Hold VCP5-DCV or VCP-Cloud
If you do hold he VCP5-DCV or VCP-Cloud then you can need to sit and pass the VMware View ">VCP510-DT Exam
It appears that VMware Education are trying to align the VCP qualifications so that attending a qualifying course is a pre-requisite.
What's A Qualifying Course?
VMware have a list of training partners who adhere to the required standards. Essentially these partners have the official rubber stamp to teach you the student the course material.

Resurrection is revolution:
The first wholly new interpretation for 2000 years of the Gospel and moral teachings of Christ is on the web. Redefining all primary elements including Faith, the Word, Baptism, the Trinity and the Resurrection, this new interpretation questions the validity and origins of all Christian tradition; it overturns all natural law ethics and theory. At stake is the credibility of several thousand years of religious history and moral teaching.
This new teaching has nothing whatsoever to do with any existing religious conception known to history. It is unique in every respect. What science and religion have agreed was not possible, has now become all too inevitable.
Using a synthesis of scriptural material from the Old and New Testaments, the Apocrypha , The Dead Sea Scrolls, The Nag Hammadi Library, and some of the worlds great poetry, it describes and teaches a single moral LAW, a single moral principle, and offers the promise of its own proof; one in which the reality of God responds directly to an act of perfect faith with a individual intervention into the natural world; 'raising up the man' correcting human nature by a change in natural law, altering biology, consciousness and human ethical perception beyond all natural evolutionary boundaries. Intended to be understood metaphorically, where 'death' is ignorance and 'Life' is knowledge, this experience, personal encounter of transcendent power and moral purpose is the 'Resurrection', and justification for faith. Here is where true morality, called righteousness begins.
Here then is the first ever viable religious conception capable of leading reason, by faith, to observable consequences which can be tested and judged. This new teaching delivers the first ever religious claim of insight into the human condition, that meets the Enlightenment criteria of verifiable and 'extraordinary' evidence based truth embodied in action. For the first time in history, however unexpected, the world must now measure for itself, the reality of a new claim to revealed truth, a moral tenet not of human intellectual origin, offering access by faith, to absolute proof, an objective basis for moral principle and a fully rationally justifiable belief!
This is 'religion' without any of the conventional trappings of tradition. An individual, virtue-ethical conception, independent of all cultural perception in a single moral command, and the single Law finds it's expression of obedience within a new covenant of marriage. It requires no institutional framework or hierarchy, no churches or priest craft, no scholastic theological rational, dogma or doctrine and 'worship' requires only conviction, faith and the necessary measure of self discipline to accomplish a new, single, categorical moral imperative and the integrity and fidelity to the new reality.
If confirmed, this will represent a paradigm change in the moral and intellectual potential of human nature itself; untangling the greatest questions of human existence: consciousness, meaning, suffering, free will and evil. And at the same time addressing the most profound problems of our age.
Trials of this new teaching are open to all and under way in many countries. For those individuals who will question their own prejudices, who can imagine outside the historical cultural box, with the moral courage to learn something new, and test this for themselves, to stand against the stream of fashionable thought and spin, an intellectual and moral revolution is already under way, where the 'impossible' becomes inevitable, with the most potent Non Violent Direct Action any human being can take to advance peace, justice, change and progress.
Published [at the moment] only on the web, a typeset manuscript of this new teaching is available as a free [1.4meg] PDF download from a variety of sites including:

Cape Town - Cricket South Africa (CSA) president Mtutuzeli Nyoka is claiming that his life is at risk.According to Stuart Hess in Thursday's Mercury, Nyoka made this statement shortly after returning to South Africa from Hong Kong where he attended the International Cricket Council's Annual General Meeting."It wasn't a specific threat, but I was made aware by two different sources that my security is at risk in terms of my own life," Nyoka told The Star on Wednesday."I was briefed before I went to Hong Kong about securing my own bags so that no illegal substances could be put into them."What really widened my eyes was that these were two sources, independent of each other, but who both gave me the same information."Nyoka did not reveal who these sources were, simply describing them as "official institutions in the country", and that they had informed him that he could be the target of a "botched hijacking".Nyoka has been involved in a long-standing dispute with CSA. He threatened to blow the lid on corruption in cricket, calling for an independent inquiry into bonuses paid to 40 CSA staff members last year.He was then fired in February but CSA was told to reinstate him after a court judgment found he was unlawfully dismissed.However, Nyoka does not believe this could be the reason for him being threatened. "I can't think that it is anything about what I've been asking about Cricket South Africa's finances," said Nyoka.
dont worry sport most of us here back home fear for our lives everyday but we are surviving ok
How do you explain the fact a medical doctor is leading SA cricket?
How do you explain the fact that a herd boy, with Std 3, is leading SA?
Mind you, he's not really leading the country, is he? He's more in it for the money - not to mention revamping his Nkandla kraal to the tune of R64m at the taxpayers' expense!
Yep - Eric that is exactly the situation. I wish the doctor - medical or not was leading South Africa.
@Eric West: I want to see this Kraal!!!!!
Threatening people's lives is becoming the norm in SA. Smacks of Mugabe and his regime.
The African version of transformed Democracy IS brutality and coercion and nepotism under total centralized control - so if you toe-the-line and make the right friends and contacts then you will have 'fewer' fears when you step outside or even inside your doorway. Commonly referred to as Ubuntu down here south. Yes?
Put someone in the role who actually understands what cricket is all about, as opposed to an ANC cadre appointment, and then you won't have any potential problems of this nature..
You hit the nail on the head.
Cricket is a BUSINESS. The only thing missing in SA Cricket is business people. All the cricket people are already there.
Ag please
Sounds like he's genuinely asking questions that many people don't want answered... has my support!
I think it's the India connection he refrring to without saying it.....He just double-crossed them at the ICC meeting....
How is it possible that sports administrators are suddenly victims of all manner of conspiracies? What has happened to sport to make the administrators- the blazer wearing cocktail munching kickback taking VIP suite occupying 1st class flying self aggrandizing administrators - so important that they are subject to death threats? Oh, perhaps I have answered it - it is all those cocktails kickbacks VIP seats, 1st class tickets - is somebody jealous of their lifestyle? Or is it an ex-player that wants to stop people wearing a blazer they have not earned. Whatever happened to the people that served the sport for the love of the sport and not for the love of the limelight????????
My take is that the new breed of ANC deployees will happily forgo the limelight so long as they get the money.
The government is always harping on about transformation in sport especially ones that generate money. SA needs to develop cricket at grass roots level in the townships. Money that should have been used for this purpose has just been shared out amongst officials. Africa : what hope?
What a pity people like Dr Ali Bacher and other administrators of his era don't comment on this forum...

Stratospheric Ozone profiles from DIAL-Raman lidar at Dumont d'Urville, AntarcticaEntry ID: 209_2_IPEV_FR
Abstract: Instrument History:
Since 1989, France leads a monitoring program on human impacts on the Antarctic polar stratosphere. A set of instruments designed to measure ozone and
parameters linked to its chemical equilibrium, were implemented on the French Antarctic base, Dumont d'Urvillee. The French Polar Institute (IPEV, Institut Polaire Fran�ais Paul-Emile Victor) supplies recurrent funding and ... logistics. In this frame, ground-based lidar aerosol and PSC observations were first conducted within the POLE (Polar Ozone Experiment), a French-Italian collaboration between the Service d' Aeronomie-IPSL and the IROE-CNR. In 1989, a backscatter lidar to measure stratospheric particles was implemented. In 1991, this lidar became a multiwavelength system allowing sequential observations of the vertical distribution of ozone and stratospheric particles. Failures of this out of date instrument forced to completely stop ozone measurement in 2000. Stratospheric particles observations continued, but were almost unexploitable. A new instrument was then studied, since 2002, within a new French-Italian collaboration between Service d' Aeronomie-IPSL (becoming LATMOS-IPSL in 2009) and ISAC-CNR. Named LOANA (Lidar Ozone and Aerosols of NDACC in Antarctica), this new lidar system in Dumont d'Urville includes the upgrade of the aerosol/PSC lidar, of the ozone lidar and addition of a temperature lidar. Field implementation started in 2005 for a one year test. Stratospheric particles and temperature measurement are operational since 2006. Ozone measurements only started in 2008, due to THG (Third Harmonic Generator) and PM (Photo-Multipliers) failures. Today, this lidar system is the most complete and is unique on the Antarctic continent. In particular, the ozone lidar in Dumont d'Urville was and is now again the sole instrument of that type running in an operational mode in Antarctica.
Instrument Description:
The ozone lidar in Dumont d'Urville is a DIAL system able to measure stratospheric ozone at altitudes between 8 and 40 km. It has common part with the aerosols/PSC and temperature lidar (see Dumont d'Urville aerosols/PSC lidar metafile). Here are the main characteristics of the instrument:
- Emitted wavelengths of 532 and 1064 nm (Nd:YAG 10 Hz pulsed laser)
- Aer/PSC/T and O3 switch box (manual change optical path)
- Biaxial emission (~ 60 cm out of alignment)
- Beam expander to get 0.5 mrad beam divergence
- 80 cm Newton telescope
- Mechanical chopper (cut signal between 0-5 km)
- First beam splitter: UV / Visible and IR
- Hamamatsu photomultipliers for 532 nm and 608 nm
- Embedded Devices photodiode for 1064 nm
- Photo-counting mode at 532 nm and 608 nm (60 m vertical resolution)
- Analog mode at 1064 nm (15 m vertical resolution)
- Aer/PSC/T and ozone electronical switch
- Embedded Devices electronic acquisition cards
- Labview acquisition software (developed in 2008)

Medical billing errors can cost your family big—and they're more common than you think. Here's what to look for on your medical bills to prevent overpaying on health care.
And you thought exam gowns were scary! Consider this: Odds are, there's a mistake in that medical bill you just opened. According to a NerdWallet analysis of 2013 hospital audits by Medicare, 49 percent of bills contained errors, and some medical centers messed up on more than 80 percent of claims to Medicare. Those flubs matter to consumers more than ever, because greater health insurance cost-sharing and higher deductibles mean that a mistake can take a chomp out of your wallet. What's more, billing errors can be tough to spot and tougher to fix. Disputes can drag on, and if you don't take the right steps, your account could be put into collections. Ensure a clean bill of health with these steps.
What You Can Do to Prevent Medical Billing Errors
Compare Statements
Don't pay your doctor's bill until you receive an explanation of benefits (EOB) form from your insurer. Both statements tell you the amount being charged for your procedures, the amount your insurer is paying and what you owe. The totals should match—and if they don't, it's time to do some digging. (Keep in mind: Sometimes the doctor or hospital will send an invoice before receiving the full insurance payment, so the bill is for more than you actually owe. Wait until your insurance statement comes to find out what you're responsible for.)
Get an Itemized List
Some bills might list only a total amount owed, even if you underwent more than one procedure. If charges are lumped together in broad categories—"lab tests," say—call the billing department of your provider or hospital to request an itemized bill so you can see every single service for which you're being asked to pay. That makes it easier to spot errors.
Check the CPT Codes
Doctors use current procedural terminology (CPT) codes to categorize treatments and procedures. You can find those numerical codes on your EOB; google the digits to find out what they stand for.
Know Before You Go
Once you've scheduled a procedure, phone your provider and ask how much she will charge, along with which CPT codes she'll be submitting to your insurer. Then go to your insurer's website to see what your plan will cover. Another handy source: guroo.com, which gives a range of prices in your area for more than 70 nonemergency procedures.
If you're going to be hospitalized, call the billing department to ask what the room-and-board fee will be. Also, find out if each of the people who will be treating you (doctor, radiologist, anesthesiologist) participates in your plan.
Check, Please!
Don't have the time—or the patience—to scan your bills for errors? Go to billadvocates.com or claims.org and find an expert to do it for you. Advocates usually get an hourly rate (starting at around $50) or work on commission (about 30 percent of what you end up saving). Considering the amount of money you might owe otherwise, that could end up being a pretty sweet deal.

Declaration of Independents
National Journal's Chuck Todd assess what could be called the GOP's "unfair to middlin' voters" problem: "|
So how did this happen? Two words: Bush and Iraq.Technorati Tags: Republicans, George W. Bush, Iraq, election
These two issues, intertwined, drove independents to the polls and toward the Democrats. As one pollster said to me last week when he predicted this tidal wave: 2006 will be known as the "revenge of the independents."
He looks to be correct. The difference in just about every close race comes down to independent voters. Turnout for the Republican base was good. Maybe not great like '04, but decent enough to hold some districts that I thought would fall in a wave (like those three seats in Ohio that the GOP somehow held).
Dems were only going to win Ohio-01, Ohio-02 and Ohio-15 with some deflation in the GOP turnout. But the base was there. What killed various Republican candidates everywhere else was their inability to woo the middle.
There was a time when I believed the Angry Independent wasn't going to vote in '06 because Democrats hadn't made a compelling case for change. If that had turned out to be the case, Republicans would have been safe in the Senate and certainly would have held the House losses to less than two dozen. But a combination of events, possibly triggered by the Mark Foley scandal, awakened the Angry Independent.
There is an important lesson for the GOP to learn when studying these returns. When a political party gets shellacked, the intra-party feud becomes dominated by the base, not the moderates. The base will swear, in this case, that the party needed more true-blue conservatives running, or that it should have been more conservative in its congressional governance. And then these losses would have been avoided.
There are some shreds of truth in that thinking, but the GOP will only isolate itself even more if it takes a turn to the right. Republicans will not regain the majority if they continue to grow away from the inner-suburban voter. Missouri and Virginia, for instance, sent that message loud and clear. "

Oneida — Civic Ventures today announced that Jerry L. Hill, from Oneida, is a 2011 Purpose Prize fellow. Hill was recognized as a social entrepreneur over 60 who, in his encore career, is using his experience and passion to make an extraordinary impact on society's biggest challenges. Now in its sixth year, the $17 million Purpose Prize program is the nation's only large-scale investment in social innovators in the second half of life.
Hill was named a fellow because of his consistent dedication to his Oneida culture and language. He was a language apprentice to Oneida Elder, Amos Christjohn, for 10 years, who inspired and encouraged other Oneidas to revitalize their language, participate in their cultural practices and to become educated as a path toward survival and good citizenship.
Hill's work through the Indigenous Language Institute, ILI, has resulted in opportunities to visit dozens of Native communities in the United States and Canada amplifying ILI's reach. His personal history and previous position as a Tribal attorney allowed him to develop an extensive network with other professionally trained Native people. ILI has been able to make a unique impact throughout Indian Country challenge of producing new 1st language speakers, especially among Native children. ILI's work is accomplished by stimulating self-reliant local opportunities based upon ideas rather that passively waiting for someone else to do whatever needs to be done. The challenge of addressing the needs of successful 2nd language acquisition is formidable but not impossible. The importance of heritage language to Native communities and their cultures is a responsibility Native language teachers and activists are determinedly addressing. ILI recognizes and encourages effective language efforts from review of language proposals to evaluation of existing programs. These are always done at the request of the communities of which we are part.
"While Purpose Prize fellows are helping to solve a wide range of pressing social problems, they have one thing in common," said Marc Freedman, CEO and founder of Civic Ventures and author of The Big Shift (PublicAffairs Books). "They – and millions of others in encore careers – are turning personal passions and decades of experience into invaluable contributions across sectors, continents and generations, often through entrepreneurship."
The approximately 300 attendees of the invitation-only Purpose Prize awards ceremony will hear from Prize judges, including NBC's Jane Pauley and Sherry Lansing, CEO of The Sherry Lansing Foundation and former chair of Paramount Motion Picture Group. The 28 judges – leaders in business, politics, journalism and the nonprofit sector – chose the five winners from a pool of more than 1,000 nominees.
"I believe my training as an attorney laid a groundwork for the discipline needed to pursue Native language revitalization efforts with other tribal members and Native people throughout North America."
Funded by The Atlantic Philanthropies and the John Templeton Foundation, The Purpose Prize is a program of Civic Ventures' Encore Careers campaign (www.encore.org), which aims to engage millions of boomers in encore careers combining personal meaning, continued income and social impact in the second half of life.

The Phillips Collection calls the show "Angels, Demons, and Savages: Pollock, Ossorio, Dubuffet." An alternate title might be "Faces in the Crowd." Few of the intricately, exuberantly painted canvases in this exhibition, which runs through May 12, are purely abstract. The forms of living creatures often emerge from the welter of brushstrokes — even in the work of Jackson Pollock, the emperor of abstract expressionism.
Number 7 (1952)
Pollock was working in the Greenwich Village studio of Alfonso Ossorio, Philippines-born heir to a sugar fortune, when he made this loose but clearly recognizable image of a face. The cocky artist called the paint-on-canvas work a "drawing," a taunt to "the kids who think it simple to splash a Pollock out."
Landscape with Dog (1951)
France's Jean Dubuffet, friend to Ossorio and inspiration to Pollock, extolled "the values of savagery … instinct, passion, mood, violence, madness." The dog isn't snarling, but Dubuffet's "art brut" style growled at prissy painting.
Red Family (1955)
Red is indeed the key to this Ossorio canvas, a jumble of loose black lines in which color defines the forms of two adults and two children. The drama and intensity reflect the influence of traditional religious painting.

A look back at JP's Knight Children's Center

The mission of the Home for Little Wanderers is to ensure the healthy behavioral, emotional, social and educational development and physical well-being of children and families living in at-risk circumstances.

text: Hello. I'm new to the area and own two fly rods. I want to sell one of them but I'm not sure which will be more useful for me here in Washington. I'm mainly interested in trout but might want to do some steelhead/salmon fishing at some point. Currently, I have a St. Croix Avid, 9 foot 6 weight and a Sage, 10 foot 8 weight. I used the 6wt for trout and bass in Michigan and the 8wt for Stripers in Maine. The 6wt was a bit large for some of the streams in Michigan but I get the impression that the trout-bearing waters in Washington are a little bigger. The 8wt was great for surf fishing and large river fishing but way too big for most of the stream fishing I did back east (also a fairly stiff rod). I've never fished for salmon or steelhead - can I get them on the 6wt? I'm leaning towards selling the 8wt. Any good arguments to keep 'em both? Thanks.

Information about Sonoma State womens volleyball, and registering for discussion sections and departmental electives. Not all recruiting is done like NCAA Division I teams. College coaches like to watch video of real games. If you are interested in playing college sports, make a highlight film of your high school games, ready to send to coaches once you begin recruitment. Alternatively, post your videos online, for greater exposure. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Sonoma State Volleyball information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Sonoma State.
You don't have to quarterback the university football team to a state championship to earn an athletic scholarship. Most major sports that field a team in intercollegiate competition have sports scholarships available. From women's gymnastics to men's track and field, coaches are seeking players to build a team around. Further, that leadership role often is accompanied by a full-scholarship.
The best time to begin searching for scholarships is before your senior year, in order to meet deadlines. Schools confirm that it is important to file financial aid forms such as the CSS Profile early in the school year. There are many sports scholarships that focus on less tangible qualities, such as the ability to lead a team, motivate others, and learn new skills rapidly. Take stock of your athletic abilities as you mature through high school. Students must meet specific eligibility requirements each year to participate in Kishwaukee College football game scores. Beyond consideration for Sonoma State womens volleyball, you may think about North Seattle Community College lessons for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

'Makeover' shows we have fuel for more giving
Published 1:00 am, Sunday, April 1, 2007
As Debbie Oatman was about to see her new home for the first time Thursday afternoon, batteries of TV and news cameras focused in on her.
But she wasn't the real story.
Fans were cheering on Ty Pennington, the well-known and revered host of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," as he broke into his trademark "Bus driver, move that bus."
He wasn't the story, either. Frankly, neither was the beautiful new home at the end of the Colonie cul-de-sac, or the fact the ABC reality show was in town.
The story could be found behind police barricades that lined portions of Fairway Lane. The real story could be found in the faces of the thousands, many of whom donated time and money and energy for someone they didn't even know.
And today, many have the same question a lot of us do: Now what?
Ask any volunteer, any sponsor you come across, and they will talk about the high from working on the project. It's a great feeling, they'll tell you.
It has nothing to do with television.
They want it again. More.
"I hope this community doesn't lose that feeling of generosity," said George Amedore Jr., whose family building firm oversaw construction. "You do not need the Hollywood camera crews here. There are so many needs out there in the Capital Region."
You really could feel it, just from one community reaction at Thursday afternoon's "reveal." The crowd cheered raucously at various points, often on cue. But when Oatman and her family rushed to hug the Amedores, there was long, deep clapping.
It was respectful applause. No direction was needed.
Oatman should be proud for what she's done for her kids long before "Extreme Makeover" chose her from among the 7,000 or so applications they get every week. For those who mutter she isn't truly deserving -- and you are a minuscule minority -- go out and adopt some kids desperately needing a home.
You can go to the Times Union's Heart Gallery (http://timesunion.com/ specialreports/heartgallery/ index.asp), or the New York State Adoption Album (http://www.ocfs. state.ny.us/adopt/).
Then check back with us.
This is a great human interest tale -- the spine for a reality show that relies on being able to wring every last drop of emotion out of a one-hour episode. And Oatman gets two hours as part of a season finale (7 p.m. Sunday, May 20, WTEN Ch. 10).
"You are catching us on a great, great story," Paul DiMeo, one of the designers on the show, said of the Capital Region. "Every show, every week, is not like this week."
Which brings us back to the real story: The thousands who donated time building the home, driving shuttle vans, laying down sod and picking up garbage. People who painted and hammered and operated heavy machinery. The Amedore family, whose name is on the home.
So what, you say? Look at all the free publicity these companies are getting.
Doing good while doing well is not a sin. It is, well, good.
"The cynic will say 'It's an hourlong commercial for Sears,' " DiMeo said. "OK ... but this family still has a house."
There's something else going on here besides self-interest. Without seeing the episode yet-to-be edited, I can guarantee you that 99 percent of the volunteers will not be identifiable even if they are lucky enough to get a second of screen time.
There are a slew of companies large and small that did not get major media exposure for their efforts. Sure, they can use it in advertising and such -- they would be idiots not to -- but there's another driving force.
That feeling. That high.
There are a lot of corporate and community projects out there. In her story today, staff writer Jennifer Gish highlights several. There are many more.
There's a need. There are people willing to help. There are entities that could pull it all together.
So the circus has left town, the "Hollywood cameras" are packed away.
We are left with a warm feeling.
More importantly, we're left with a question.
Now what?

(Disclaimer: English is my second language, so I want to apologize in advance for there may be mistakes in the text below. If you find any, please let me know so that I can correct it. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.)
Review Soundtrack: I suggest reading this review while listening to Great Balls of Fire, by Jerry Lee Lewis (Spotify, YouTube).
The idea of the "Chosen One" is so central to most fantasy novels that sometimes it seems almost unavoidable. My impression is that, as a trope, it is clearly reactionary: if you are not somehow special, then you won't be able to defeat The Evil. It doesn't matter how hard you try, if you don't have the gift you won't ever make a difference. And, of course, having the gift does not depend on something you can do, but on who your parents are or on other fortuitous events that almost always set even before you are born.
Thus, I am always interested in works that try to subvert the idea of the Chosen One (for instance, Adam-Troy Castro has written against this trope many times) and that's why I had high hopes in All The Rest of Us Just Live Here, Patrick Ness's newest novel. What if, for once, the important kids (indie kids, as they are called in the book) that are destined for great deeds and fight, on a daily basis, to save the world from utter destruction were not that important? What if, for once, the normal kids, the secondary characters that you only get to see when they suffer collateral damage were the main protagonists?
That is what The Rest of Us Just Live Here tries to accomplish and something that Ness, formally, achieves in a completely brilliant way. The beginning of each chapter quickly outlines what you are supposed to find next, with paragraphs like this one:
CHAPTER THE FIFTH, in which indie kid Kerouac opens the Gate of the Immortals, allowing the Royal Family and its Court a fissure through which to temporarily enter this world; then Kerouac discovers that the Messenger lied to him; he dies, alone.
But then, when you turn the page, you find nothing of that story. No Kerouac, no Immortals, no Royal Family, and you only get to know that something strange is happening in the background through glimpses, when the indie kids cross paths with Mike, Mel, Jared or any of the actual protagonists of the novel. I give it to the author that this process of deconstructing the typical YA fantasy plot is right on spot and, with just a few pages, he gets to defeat all our expectations as readers.
However, in my opinion, The Rest of Us Just Live Here utterly fails as a novel. Just subtracting something is not enough; you need to replace it with something else, and that something else must be more interesting, more relevant than what you took away. Sadly, Ness removes one big cliché only to replace it with... a lot of other, even bigger clichés.
In The Rest of Us Just Live Here you won't find a magical little girl destined to save the world fighting again the old, ugly lord of all evil things. But instead you will find a group of teenagers a few weeks before High School prom and all the typical problems of teenagers a few weeks before High School prom. And little else.
The novel is, then, just another instance of a story that we've read (and watched) a zillion times. The love triangle, the anorexic girl, the absent mother, the gay friend, the alcoholic father... You name it, you have it. Ness correctly guessed that most of us don't want to read again about the Chosen One, but I don't know why he thought that we would be interested in reading, once again, about anxious teenagers discovering love and trying to find their place in life. I, for one, have had more than my fair share of it.
So, yes, I get the point: normal is good and there is not such a thing as fate and predestination to great deeds. But, you know what? I already knew that and don't need to read another trite coming of age novel to realize. And, on the other hand, normal might very well be good but it also is, in many occasions, very boring. I have enough normal in my daily and, ehhhh, normal life, thank you very much.

What Does the Dark Knight Rises Shooting at the Colorado Movie Theater Say about America, Pastor Bryan Longworth, Covenant Tabernacle
As we gather together to worship the Lord, our hearts are saddened by the shooting that happened in Colorado, and I think we must ask ourselves what does The Dark Knight Rises shooting tell us about America? What does this tell us about our country? Where have we gone wrong that a young person can walk into a theater, a bright person, someone that is in a PhD program, can walk into a theater with a bulletproof vest, helmet, gas mask, four weapons, and thousands of rounds of ammunition and kill 12 people and wound dozens of others? Certainly God has some answers for us. We're going to look to see what the word of God has to say concerting this subject.

The National Day of Prayer Message & Prayer, We Need to Return to God
We need to turn back to God, and you may ask: how do we need to turn back to God? It's not us that need to turn back to God, it's all those wicked people out there, but let me tell you something: when the most conservative branch of Christianity only has 9% of its members that have a Biblical worldview, we have a problem in this nation. When the majority of Christians are more likely to be influenced by TV, the news, and movies than they are from the word of God, we have a problem in this nation. When we have pastors that stand up and condone fornication, and adultery, and homosexuality, and perform homosexual marriage ceremonies, and even ordain ministers of the gospel of Jesus Christ who are homosexual, something that God says is an abomination, we have a problem in this nation. When we shed the blood of over 55,000,000 preborn children for our convenience, for our figures, for our careers, we have a problem in this nation.
God has called us to be the culture carriers. He has called us to disciple the nations. He has called us to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. He has called us to be the pillar and ground of truth, and we have failed to do this in this nation. In fact, we inherited a nation that was largely

You've probably seen the bumper sticker that reads: 2012: The end of an error. It's probably on the car of a Republican who wants to see the end of the Obama administration.
2012 is a new year, and with a new year, we look for change. We look for the new year to be better than the previous year.
Certainly, we have been in some tough economic times in this country. These times have led many to ask, "How's that hope and change working for you?" Certainly for a lot of people, not as well as they had hoped.

Sermon, 12/4/11, Why The Herman Cain Express Suffered a Massive Train Wreck, Character Does Count! Bryan Longworth, Covenant Tabernacle
If you read my previous post, Florida Presidency 5 Report: Why Did Delegates Hop on the Herman Cain Train?, you know that I was a delegate at Florida's Presidency 5 (P5) Presidential Debate and Straw Poll held in Orlando FL. I supported, campaigned for, and voted for Herman Cain. I supported Cain because I believed the message he so eloquently presented, trusted that he was a man of integrity, and sensed the momentum would carry him to the top. As you know, that straw poll launched Cain's campaign to the top of the Republican Presidential field and even above President Barack Obama, but the Cain Train has been derailed by accusations of sexual harassment and a 13 year affair. I addressed this topic in my sermon preached December 4, 2011:
I'm sure you've heard the news by now: The Herman Cain Express has suffered a severe train wreck. Why is it that Cain's presidential campaign ended in disgrace. It is because character does count, especially if you're a Republican. You see, there is a double standard in the media, and we have witnessed this time and time again. Bill Clinton's multiple affairs prior to running for the presidency were totally ignored b y the mainstream media when Clinton ran for president.

We will not give up! We Will End Abortion! Will You Help?
With the loss of Mississippi's Initiative 26, many in the prolife movement and the media have asked what is our strategy here in Florida. They are quick to point out that Mississippi is more prolife than Florida and ask how we think we can win if a similar initiative can't even pass in Mississippi.
The good news is that leading up to and following the Mississippi vote, Personhood FL has linked up with new volunteers who are willing to help make the case for life in their county! We currently are working on a plan to contact every church in Florida between now and the end of the year so that the churches can present the Florida ProLife Personhood Petition to their parishioners in January, but we need your help to accomplish this. Will you help us take the message of life to every church, every pastor in your county? Please join us for a conference call/training tomorrow (Tuesday, November 15 from 9 – 10 PM) where we'll go over how to contact the churches and pastors and the new FL ProLife Personhood Petition. This call will cover key strategies for ending abortion and protecting all innocent human life. Register to join us on the call below.

Sermon, Why We Must End Abortion NOW, Training Our Children to Obey God Where We Have Failed to Do So Pastor Bryan Longworth, Covenant Tabernacle, Personhood
No parent wants to admit to their children that they have made mistakes in the past, yet that is exactly what God asks parents in general and fathers in particular in Psalm 78. In the 60s, we saw the rise of the sexual revolution in America, and the promiscuity has gotten progressively worse since that time. It is time that we turn back to God and look at His principles and His precepts. Here in Psalm 78:1-8, we read,

Fathers' Day Sermon, Every Child Needs a Hero, Pastor Bryan Longworth, Covenant Tabernacle Church
Every child needs a hero. When I grew up, my hero was my dad. Before I would ever see Johnny Bench throw out a base runner, or watch Pete Rose get a hit, or cheer as Terry Bradshaw threw another touchdown pass, or watch with amazement as Franco Harris grabbed the immaculate reception. or took part in a Mylon Lefevre and Broken Heart or Stryper concert, my dad was my hero. I wanted to be like him. When he went to school, I got my books out so that I would look like him. I couldn't wait each day until he picked me up from daycare! And the day I saw him working on the water fountain at my school, nothing could keep me from getting to him, not my teacher, not the gate fence, nothing. My dad taught me to have a

Jill put flowers up at 7×20
Jill put flowers, reprinted from Nanoism. Wee bio. And one more thing.
I'm also finding myself somewhat in agreement with this Tumblr post I came across, kind of ironically, on Twitter. Self-Loathing 101: Thought Verbs by Chuck Palahniuk.
While I agree that there are some writing teachers and bits of writing advice out there designed to belittle you/make them feel superior/make you write like them, among other things, I do think Palahnuik's challenge on getting rid of thought verbs is a great one, and probably isn't the best example that could have been used to make the point.
