Many thanks to all our backers for your support!! If you missed out on our Kickstarter campaign head to Joulies.com where you can sign up to be notified as soon as Coffee Joulies are available to order. You can also follow us on twitter @coffeejoulies and on facebook.com/coffeejoulies to stay up to speed on our activities.
Best regards,
Dave & Dave
Coffee Joulies will now be made in the USA :-)
Hey Kickstarters, thanks for checking out our project! We have spent the last nine months developing Coffee Joulies to create the perfect coffee drinking experience for you, and now we need your help to get them produced.
Coffee Joulies work with your coffee to achieve two goals. First, they absorb extra thermal energy in your coffee when it's served too hot, cooling it down to a drinkable temperature three times faster than normal. Next, they release that stored energy back into your coffee keeping it in the right temperature range twice as long.
This amazing feat of thermodynamics happens thanks to a special non-toxic material sealed within the polished stainless steel shell. This material is designed to melt at 140 degrees Fahrenheit, and absorbs a lot of energy as it melts. This is how Joulies cool your coffee down three times faster than normal. Once it reaches this temperature, the special material begins to solidify again, releasing the energy it stored when it melted. This is how Joulies keep your coffee warm twice as long.
The better insulated your cup, the better Coffee Joulies work. Simply using a lid goes a long way. This is because less heat is lost to the environment, and more is stored within the Joulies themselves. In a ceramic mug Joulies will keep your coffee in the right temperature range for only a few minutes longer than usual (because mugs are such poor insulators - designed to keep your hand from being burned, not to keep coffee warm). Of course this isn't a problem when you're rushing to get to work in the morning and Joulies help you drink your coffee three times sooner.
In a well-made vacuum thermos, on the other hand, Joulies will keep your coffee in the right temperature range for over five hours. More importantly, they cool coffee down much faster, helping you avoid burning your tongue as you taste coffee in the thermos while checking to see if it's the right temperature yet.
Oh, and did we mention that Coffee Joulies work with more than just coffee? You'll love Joulies in your tea, hot chocolate...any hot beverage you want.
Remember, coffee is more than just a hot, caffeinated beverage. It is a ritual that gets us up in the morning and keeps us going all day. Get creative with how you incorporate Joulies into your ritual. Find out exactly how many you need for your perfect cup of coffee, when to put them in, whether you want to preheat them first, whether you still need cream and sugar once you have the temperature perfected with Joulies, etc. etc. These are your magic beans now. Get to know them. You'll have them forever.
Personal Pack: Pre-order your very own set of five Coffee Joulies packaged in a reusable carrying pouch for a discount of 20% off the $50 retail price.
Enthusiast Pack: For this you'll get a set of five Coffee Joulies, a Thermos Sipp travel mug with the Joulies logo and "I backed Joulies on Kickstarter" printed on it, and your name listed on the website as a backer.
Coffee Shop Pack: Pre-order a box of 20 sets of five Coffee Joulies, each packaged for resale in a jute carrying pouch. This is also great for budding entrepreneurs who want to sell Joulies themselves, and for people who want to get their birthday, anniversary, and holiday shopping done for the whole year with one purchase.
Tech Specs:
- Shell Material: Polished Food-Grade 18/10 Stainless Steel
- Inner Material: Proprietary Phase Change Material (PCM), melting point 140°F
- Displacement: 0.75 oz (1.5 Tbsp) per bean
- Coffee Volume Per Bean: 5 oz including bean (4.25 oz without bean)
- Coffee Volume Reduction: 15%
- The "Right" Temperature Range: 140°F to 130°F
How do I use Coffee Joulies?
Pop a few Joulies into your coffee as soon as it's poured. The hotter the coffee, the more energy Joulies can absorb, and the longer they can keep your coffee the right temperature.
Are Coffee Joulies really safe to put in my coffee?
Yes! Joulies are perfectly safe when used properly, and in fact make drinking coffee safer than usual by reducing the risk of burning your mouth. They sink in your coffee to keep them away from your lips, they won't ever be hotter than 140°F when used properly (meaning they'll never burn you), and all the materials used in their construction are food-grade.
How many should I put in my coffee?
Each Joulie is made to work with 5 ounces of volume, so put one in your double espresso, two in your mug, three in your tall coffee, four in your travel thermos, and five in your venti.
What are Coffee Joulies made of?
Joulies are made of the hightest grade stainless steel used in silverware production, ensuring that they are completely safe, will last forever, and will keep their polished finish for a long time.
What's inside of Coffee Joulies?
Joulies are filled with a proprietary substance called a "Phase Change Material" (PCM) that melts at 140°F and is 100% edible food-grade magic.
How long will my Coffee Joulies last?
Coffee Joulies are made using the same materials and a very similar process as table knives, and will last a lifetime.
How much space do Coffee Joulies take up in my cup?
Joulies take up about 15% of the volume of your cup or thermos. This is about the same volume you'd use for cream.
What if I use cream in my coffee?
Coffee Joulies can still work with coffee that has cream in it, but you'll have to experiment to find your preferred method. You can use extra hot coffee, preheat the cream as if you were making a latte, preheat the Joulies, use fewer Joulies, or use less cream. Personally, I began using cream in my coffee when I was young just to cool it down, and now I'm moving back to black coffee with Joulies, which is the best way to appreciate the subtle flavors of gourmet beans.
Why should I use Coffee Joulies instead of some other way to cool my coffee?
Joulies ensure that your coffee only cools down until it reaches the right temperature. At this point the process reverses and Joulies begin releasing the heat they absorbed back into your coffee to keep it hot longer. Ice can cool your coffee down, but it's easy to cool it down too much. Plus, ice waters down your coffee and doesn't store any energy to keep it hot longer. Cream can cover up the subtle flavors of coffee, and also can cool your coffee too much and doesn't store any energy. You could just wait, but who has time for that? Plus, all that energy is disappearing into the environment instead of being stored to keep your coffee hot longer.
How should I clean my Coffee Joulies?
Joulies can be cleaned in the dishwasher just like the rest of your silverware, though most of the time simply rinsing them off is plenty.
When will I get my set of Coffee Joulies?
Your Coffee Joulies should come to you within 12 weeks of the project reaching its funding goal. It can take up to 8 weeks just to make the dies for stamping out the stainless steel shells. Stamping dies are more complicated than the typical plastic injection molds you see on here a lot. These dies need to be machined, polished, tested, then remachined and polished again to make sure the parts come out perfectly every time. The manufacturer is already working on the production process, and will begin cutting the dies as soon as our funding goal is reached. The more orders we have, the more time the manufacturer can dedicate to our project and the faster these can be completed.
Can I invest in Coffee Joulies?
The best way for you to help is by backing our project. If you believe in Coffee Joulies enough to invest, feel free to purchase as many Coffee Shop boxes as you'd like and begin selling Coffee Joulies yourself!!
Who are the creators of these magic beans?
We're two Daves who grew up across the street from each other in Pennington, NJ where we spent our time inventing, designing and fabricating everything from kite buggies and robots to chainsaw-powered scooters and grind rails (when we weren't busy wreaking havoc). We've combined forces again, spending the last nine months working from opposite ends of the country to develop Coffee Joulies for you :-)

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
Author: N.
Scott Momaday
Work: The Way to Rainy Mountain
Betty Tillman Samb uses a cultural studies approach to help students understand The Way to Rainy Mountain by N. Scott Momaday. She asks students to use family photographs to contextualize the familial experience of Momaday's work, and to respond through creative writing. Students then work in groups to conduct Web research on Kiowa culture.
To prepare for the lesson, view The Expanding Canon video program 6, Part I. Online review the Session 6 theory overview, strategies, information about the authors and literature, resources, and the downloadable print guide. Read The Way to Rainy Mountain -- excerpts available in the print guide.
Teachers will need the following supplies:
Standards for the English Language Arts
In advance of the lesson Betty Tillman Samb asks students to read an excerpt from The Way to Rainy Mountain. She also asks each student to bring to class photos of a grandparent or an older relative whom they can remember.
1. Samb asks each student to introduce the relative in the photo to another student.
2. Students write down memories about their relative. Several students read aloud their memories in poetry and prose.
3. Samb shares with the class a memoir she has written.
4. Samb asks students several questions to consider as they listen to a recorded reading of The Way to Rainy Mountain:
7. Samb tells the students that they will conduct Web research to learn about different aspects of Kiowa culture. She divides the class into several groups, and asks each group to focus on one aspect of Kiowa culture: religion, landscape, mythology or history.
8. Student groups take turns presenting their findings to the class, explaining how their research connects to The Way to Rainy Mountain.

It looks like you're in United States. Please go to Slice United States.Slice United States.
Look in any home or industrial toolbox and sooner or later you'll find a utility knife. More versatile than a hammer, this powerhouse tool is used for almost any material you can think of. Although the utility knife definition technically extends to some specialty knives such as linoleum cutters, most people use the term to mean a broader-use tool. In fact, a utility knife (also known as a box cutter, folding knife, carpet knife or pen knife) is defined by its versatility. Whereas most knife designs have specialty applications—think hunting knives or surgical scalpels—a utility knife is meant to be multipurpose.
Some typical utility knife uses include:
When you're looking for the best multi purpose knife, you need to evaluate its design approach to effectiveness and safety. There are two ways that manufacturers address these issues: with handle design and with blade design.
Each type of knife has different strengths and weaknesses, so the best utility knife for the job often depends on the job itself. Most people, when they buy a utility knife, only look at its handle design. It's important to consider blade design, too, but here is a summary of the pros and cons of common handle types.
As the name suggests, these knives have a single blade that stays in the same position as you cut. They're further divided into three subgroups:
One of the first safety features to revolutionize utility knife handles was the retractable blade. Auto-retract knives expose their blade as long as the user holds down a button or slider. Once the slider is released, a spring-loaded mechanism automatically pulls the blade into its casing. This innovation reduces user error between cuts, no longer relying on the user to remember to retract the blade for safe storage.
The latest advance in retractable blades adds another layer of safety. In the new model of self-retracting utility knife, the blade senses when it has lost contact with the cutting material and retracts automatically, even if the user is still holding the button or slider down. This prevents accidents if the user slips while cutting.
Other handle features to consider include blade storage (some knives store replacement blades right in the handle) and knife storage. A tool is only useful if you can find it. Look for some kind of utility knife holder, lanyard hole, or other storage option.
Ergonomics are another important component of handle design. Look for evidence that the knife manufacturer has considered the ergonomic impact of its design.
The blades themselves are often overlooked when users evaluate knives, but what cuts you: the handle or the blade? The best utility knife blades combine safety and longevity in their materials and design.
Everyone is familiar with these because for a long time, they were the only option on the market. The metal used is typically a variety of steel.
These blades (which actually represent a subcategory of traditional metal utility knife blades) are originally a Japanese invention and consist of a thin razor-like blade with several scores across its width. Once the edge of the exposed blade becomes dull, the user can snap it off, revealing a new sharp edge. Each blade contains several snap-off sections, meaning the entire blade is replaced less often.
Although several varieties of ceramic blades exist, Slice is the first company to bring safety to ceramics with our patented finger-friendly grind.
The cost of lacerations from workplace utility knives doesn't stop with medical bills. In fact, OSHA estimates that a laceration injury costs the average company over $40 000 in direct and indirect costs. That doesn't include costs that are difficult to quantify, such as lowered morale. No matter what tools you choose, it's crucial to train workers how to use a utility knife properly, as well as when to use a utility knife and when to choose a specialty tool.
Safety Issues to Consider
When you're trying to find who makes the best utility knife for your application, always include safety in your evaluation. After all, when a number of safer choices are available, there's no need to settle for one or the other. Why use a utility knife that's effective but unsafe?

Sorry about the absence again, I'm a total flake. Well, actually, I left my USB cable at my friend's house so all of my cookie photos were locked in captivity on my camera. Excuses excuses, I know. Good news is I have a lot to post now, so get ready for me to flood your RSS feeders!
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus 1/4 cup for rolling
- 1/2 cup unsulfured molasses
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon course salt
- Put butter, brown sugar, and 1/2 c granulated sugar in bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until smooth, about 3 minutes. Mix in eggs one at a time, followed by the molasses and oil.
- Reduce speed to low; gradually mix in flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and salt. Cover dough with plastic wrap; refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 325 F. Put remaining 1/4 c granulated sugar in a bowl. Using a 1 3/4 inch ice cream scoop, form balls of dough. Roll balls in sugar to coat, and space 3 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until cookies are flat and centers are set, about 17 minutes. Let cool completely on sheets on wire racks. Cookies can be stored between layers of parchment in airtight containers at room temperature up to 5 days.
Baking Difficultly: 1/5
Ingredient Accessibility: 3.5/5
Tastiness: 3.5/5 (A tad boring to be honest...)
Attractiveness: 3.5/5
Is it worth it?: If you want a molasses cookie, you'll get exactly what you're looking for.
Drink: Apple cider, maybe? Ginger tea? Milk? Milk Tea? Ginger apple cider milk tea? (That's sounds gross, I apologize...)
Activity: Something cozy...baking these while wearing your favorite wooly knitted socks?

Classic Function Creep As EU Police May Gain Access To Asylum Seekers Fingerprint Database
from the exceptionally-common-situations dept
As Techdirt readers well know, one of the problems with measures brought in for "exceptional situations" -- be it fighting terrorism or tackling child pornography -- is that once in place, they have a habit of being applied more generally. A case in point is the blocking of Newzbin2 by BT in the UK. That was possible because BT had already installed its "Cleanfeed" system to block child pornography: once in place, this "specialized" censorship system could easily be deployed to block quite different sites.
Another, more recent, case from the EU involves Eurodac, a database with fingerprint information provided by asylum seekers there. Here's the original justification for storing them:
The database was originally established in 2000 so EU nations could check whether an asylum seeker had previously applied for asylum in another European country or was receiving social benefits from another EU country. According to EU law, asylum seekers can apply for asylum only in the EU nation where they first entered the bloc.
But the politicians have noticed that this biometric data could be handy in quite different circumstances:
such a rich source of existing data has recently sparked the interest of other parties. If the EU Commission's requests are followed, Eurodac fingerprint data will be accessible to police officers during investigations. The commission's proposal envisions national law enforcement agencies and Europe's supranational criminal police commission, Interpol, being able to access the database.
Of course, allowing the police to check people's fingerprints in this way would have serious implications for privacy. Indeed, Peter Hustinx, head of the European Data Protection Supervisor, has already weighed in on the subject:
"Just because data is being collected doesn't mean that it should be used for another purpose, especially since that can have a hugely negative effect on the lives of individuals," said Peter Hustinx, head of the European Data Protection Supervisor.
And that really is the nub of the issue: people who agree to provide highly-personal data for one purpose, may then find it being used for another, without being asked. And if the European Commission gets its way, even more data will be shared:
"The Commission would generally like to widen its collection of data and make available any information regarding criminal prosecutions," [Green Party MEP] Keller said. "One example is the so-called 'Smart Borders' package, which actually wasn't proposed this round but has been in the pipeline for a long time. The idea there is that in the future anyone from non-EU countries that would like to travel into the EU will be recorded electronically, which also includes fingerprints."
As more and more biometric data is collected around the world, this kind of function creep is likely to become increasingly common.

I'm back from another rally, it's late, and I have work in the morning. As a result this will be a short fantasy preview. Sorry for partying.
Poland is the big wildcard of the 2014 season. It's only been run once in the past decade as a WRC event, back when Citroen was racing the C4, Ford was racing the Focus, and a 21-year-old Mads Ostberg was racing a Subaru. Of the five drivers competing this year who raced Poland in 2009 four are with new teams. What I'm trying to say is much has changed since the WRC last visited Poland. Guessing who will do well here is pretty much just that, a guess.
That said there are three particular drivers to watch, all in Fords (which doesn't narrow it down, more than half the entrants are in Fords). Mikko Hirvonen was the winner the last time the WRC visited Poland. As the only Poland winner on the entry list he's arguably a favorite of sorts. Henning Solberg is also one to watch, he finished third here in 2009, and any place where Henning can get himself on the podium is a place worth noting. The third man to watch is Robert Kubica. His season has been... trying, but this time he has home field advantage. This is the one rally where he knows the roads and the road type better than any other competitor. Factor in how much he'll want to perform well and get a good finish in front of his home fans (and holy hell are Polish racing fans passionate and excitable) and he's definitely someone to keep his eye on. The only question is whether he's more likely to be careful to ensure his home fans can see him finish with points or push (too) hard trying to impress said fans and possibly damage the car.
And with that it's time to make your predictions as to who will make it through Rally Portugal unscathed. If you've forgotten the rules or are new to Fantasy WRC (WELCOME!) be sure to read them all here. Below are the WRC competitors entered for Rally Poland. For the full entry list (WRC2 drivers, etc. Remember, you can pick any driver on the entry list) click here. And, as always, the data spreadsheets are available for you numerophiles.

Subscribe To 25 Years Later, Back To The Future Is A Must-See In Theaters All Over Again Updates
I've already subscribed
Like any child born in the 80s I have an undying affection for Back to the Future, but I like to think it goes deeper than that. I can't remember a time when I didn't expect all DeLoreans to be time machines, didn't wish I could pull myself on my skateboard behind a car, didn't want a red puffy vest and mirrored Ray-Bans of my own. Marty McFly was my first crush. I owned the full Back to the Future soundtrack on tape and knew all the words, even to the lame "Time Bomb Town" by Lindsey Buckingham. When my family visited Universal Studios when I was 8 or so, the movie memorabilia on display at "Back to the Future: The Ride" took my breath away. I regret to this day not buying the shiny hat worn by Marty McFly Jr. in the second movie.
This is all to say that, when the news first hit that Back to the Future would be playing in AMC Theaters on October 23-- almost exactly 25 years after Marty first traveled back in time-- I sent the group e-mail to get all my friends to join me. And when about 15 of us showed up and claimed our row near the back of the packed theater on Saturday, I was so happy it was like an out of body experience. I was about to watch this movie that I had loved so deeply as a kid, when my friends had moved on to more modern attractions like Jurassic Park or Beauty and the Beast, up on the big screen for the first time in my life, surrounded by pals as enthusiastic as I was, and a room full of people who cheered when Alan Silvestri's name came up in the credits. I imagine it's exactly how plenty of people feel the first time they run into a Stormtrooper at Comic Con: I was home.
It surprised me to realize about halfway through the film that I hadn't watched it all the way through in years. I could probably recite it from memory, of course, but I'd never used my film critic brain to appreciate the way the "Darth Vader from Planet Vulcan" ties so well into the Peabody family thinking the DeLorean is a spaceship, or the fascinating racial politics of Marvin Berry and the Starlighters intimidating Biff's gang merely by stepping out of their car. I noticed how long it actually takes the "get George and Lorraine together" plot to get going, how George is really the only character in the whole movie to change by the end, and how obscenely materialistic the happy ending is. I was flabbergasted by Michael J. Fox's comedic skill, how quickly he and Christopher Lloyd build an unlikely friendship, how truly bizarre but endearing Crispin Glover makes George McFly, and how incredible Lea Thompson's transformation from dewy teen to puffy housewife really is. I won't argue that I can look at the movie without a giant haze of nostalgia, but I could feel in that packed theater how well it holds up, how every comedic and dramatic beat hit perfectly, how the experience sends you out on that kind of moviegoing high you're lucky to get once or twice a year.
And when it was over, I learned for a fact that I was right. My friend Jenni, who had been sitting right next to me utterly enthralled, told me she had never seen the film before. It explained why she was so anxious during the final DeLorean drive, but also confirmed the movie's enduring appeal, beyond 80s nostalgia or catchphrases or sci-fi sheen. I sincerely believe Back to the Future is a perfect movie, calibrated to the last reaction shot and musical cue, no scene wasted or superfluous, every actor inhabiting their characters with precision (and in Glover's case, an almost alien commitment). The movie came out in the 80s, a time of truly exceptional blockbuster filmmaking, but even compared to its peers it stands alone. Aliens may have had better effects and Raiders of the Lost Ark snappier lines, but nothing matches Back to the Future for both popcorn thrills and an exploration of deep human feelings like nostalgia, regret and parental love, so feather-light you don't even see it happening until you've walked out of the theater-- or until you watch it 20 years after you first saw it and feel you've discovered it all over again.
Back to the Future is showing in theaters again on Monday, October 25 at 7 p.m., and if you're reading this in time, I beg you to go. Not only is it by far the best movie you can see in theaters right now-- sorry, Social Network-- but the atmosphere of the theater packed with Back to the Future fans feels like the cinephile equivalent of a church revival, everyone gathered to hear the messages and stories they already know in a congregation of fellow believers. Yes, the new Back to the Future Blu-Ray set is stupendous, and you can probably catch the movie on TBS as we speak. But Back to the Future is the oldest kind of movie magic, a story both wild and innately familiar that's so confident it captivates the audience as a whole; it is that rare experience of sitting in a room full of hundreds of people, all feeling and thinking the same thing in unison. Seeing Back to the Future in a theater is proof that a great movie is both intensely personal-- the way I felt so desperate to time travel as a child--but universally appealing as well. Take anyone and everyone you know to see it, like I did, and get that unique thrill of discovering something you already thought you knew perfectly.

Chocolate Souffles
By á-35437
- 7 ounces finely chopped bittersweet or semisweet chocolate
- 4 tablespoons
- unsalted butter, plus for preparing the molds
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pure
- vanilla extract
- 3 large egg yolks
- 3 tablespoons warm water
- 1/2 cup sugar, plus 2 tablespoons
- 8 large egg whites, room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh
- lemon juice
- Confectioners' sugar for
- garnish
Preparation time 30mins
Cooking time 50mins
Step 1
Brush 6 (6-ounce) ramekins with soft butter, then coat with sugar. Put the prepared ramekins
in the freezer. (This can be done a day ahead.)
Set an oven rack in lower third of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
Put the chocolate and butter in a medium heatproof bowl. Bring a
saucepan filled with an inch
or so of water to a very slow simmer; set the bowl over, but not touching, the water. Stir the
chocolate occasionally until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
Set aside.
Combine the egg yolks and warm water in the bowl of a standing mixer or large bowl and
beat until
frothy. Gradually add 2 tablespoons sugar, and continue beating until ribbons form,
about 5 minutes. Very lightly fold the yolks into the chocolate mixture. (Rinse the bowl well, if
using for beating the egg whites.)
Remove prepared ramekins from freezer. Put the egg whites in the bowl of a standing
or large non-reactive bowl, add the lemon juice. Beat on medium until frothy; then gradually
add the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and increase speed to high. Beat until the whites hold a
stiff but not dry peak.
Working quickly, fold about a third of the
egg whites into the chocolate to lighten; then fold in
remaining whites until blended. Gently ladle or spoon the souffle mixture into the ramekins,
and place on a baking sheet. (Level off the surface with a straight edge, scraping any excess
mixture back into the bowl.)
Immediately bake until the souffle rises about 1 1/2 inches from the ramekins, and the tops
are touched with brown, about 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven,
dust with confectioners'
sugar and serve immediately.

Ok, so I walked to 7-11 today, and from ten yards out I know I
was going to drop some cash on my inner geek. They had these Iron
Man and War Machine statuesque Slurpee bottles, four holograpic
cups with "helmet" lids, three crazy-straws with War Machine, Iron
Man and Whiplash, and four non holographic collectors cups.
Iron Man is flying on top of my Slurpee! How over the top is
that!? This is why I place my hand over my heart during the pledge
of allegiance.
Thank you America.
Its like a dream come true for my inner kid. Kudos to Marvel and
7-11 for knowing their
audience. Check out the commercial, it speaks to the target demo perfectly. I won't be drinking from my "statue" bottles, instead they will be guarding computer at work, since I don't think my girlfriend would allow them in the apartment. Now if only I could get my hands on a life-size helmet… uh oh.

The CA51 Compiler Kit for the 8051 microcontroller family supports all 8051 derivatives including those from companies like Analog Devices, Atmel, Cypress Semiconductor, Dallas Semiconductor, Goal, Hynix, Infineon, Intel, OKI, Philips, Silicon Labs, SMSC, STMicroelectronics, Synopsis, TDK, Temic, Texas Instruments, and Winbond.
The following components are included in the CA51 8051 C-compiler & Assembler Kit:
The Keil C51 C Compiler for the 8051 microcontroller is the most popular 8051 C compiler in the world. It provides more features than any other 8051 C compiler available today.
The C51 Compiler allows you to write 8051 microcontroller applications in C that have the efficiency and speed of assembly language. Language extensions in the C51 Compiler give you full access to all resources of the 8051.
C51 translates C source files into a relocatable object module. When the DEBUG control is used, the object file contains full symbolic information for debugging with the µVision3 Debugger or an in-circuit emulator. In addition to the object file, the C51 Compiler generates a listing file which optionally may include symbol table and cross-reference information.
The A51 Assembler is a macro assembler for the 8051 family of microcontrollers. It supports all 8051 derivatives. It translates symbolic assembly language mnemonics into relocatable object code where the utmost speed, small code size, and hardware control are critical. The macro facility speeds development and conserves maintenance time since common sequences need only be developed once. The A51 assembler supports symbolic access to all features of the 8051 architecture.
The A51 assembler translates assembler source files into a relocatable object modules. The DEBUG control adds full symbolic information to the object module and supports debugging with the µVision3 Debugger or an in-circuit emulator. In addition to object files, the A51 assembler generates list files which optionally may include symbol table and cross reference information.
The µVision3 IDE from Keil Software combines project management, make facilities, source code editing, program debugging, and complete simulation in one powerful environment. µVision3 helps you get programs working faster than ever while providing an easy-to-use development platform. The editor and debugger are integrated into a single application and provide a seamless embedded project development environment.
The BL51 code banking linker/locator combines OMF51 object modules and creates executable 8051 programs. The linker resolves external and public references and assigns absolute or fixed addresses to relocatable program segments.
The BL51 Linker processes object files created by the Keil C51 Compiler and A51 Assembler and the Intel PL/M-51 Compiler and ASM-51 Assembler. These object modules must adhere to the OMF51 object module specification. BL51 outputs an absolute OMF51 object module that may be loaded into practically any emulator, the Keil µVision3 Debugger, or the OH51 Object-HEX converter (to create an Intel HEX file).
The OH51 Object-HEX converter creates Intel HEX files from absolute OMF51 object modules, created by the Keil A51 assembler, BL51 code banking linker, or OC51 banked object converter.
Intel HEX files are ASCII files that contain a hexadecimal representation of your program. They easily may be loaded into a device programmer for writing EPROMs or other memory devices.
The OC51 banked object file converter is a utility that creates an absolute object module for each code bank in a banked object module. You should not use this utility unless you have created a code banking program using the BL51 code banking linker.
When you create a code banking application, all symbolic and source-level information is maintained in the banked object module and is transferred by OC51 to each individual absolute object module for each code bank.
Once you have used OC51 to create the absolute object modules, you may use OH51 to create an Intel HEX file for each code bank.
All the above components also are included as part of the 8051 Professional Developer's Kit package.

F-35B aircraft under evaluation were grounded Friday after a fuel line part failed and caused a Wednesday testing takeoff to be aborted.
HAVELOCK � F-35B aircraft under evaluation were grounded Friday after a fuel line part failed and caused a Wednesday testing takeoff to be aborted.
The Pentagon�s official �red stripe� suspends flight operations until an engineering investigation is complete for the short take off and vertical landing version of the plane being developed to replace most Marine Corps aircraft.
According to information provided from NAVAIR by the military legislative adviser for Rep. Walter B. Jones, R-Farmville, the takeoff was safely aborted but the fueldraulic line failure caused a significant fuel leak during takeoff.
Harry Blot, retired Marine Corps lieutenant general and a former program manager with Lockheed Martin�s JSF development, said the malfunction is something that �comes as part of the analysis.�
�It�s good that if something was going to break, nobody got hurt and the airplane wasn�t damaged,� he said.
He said the next step is figuring out why the part failed.
�It just came out of maintenance. Was it something somebody did wrong or something wrong with the design or manufacture apt to recur?� he said. �They have to sort it out.�
He said NAVAIR typically grounds an aircraft fleet after an incident.
�When they get an incident, they look at it and say �Stop flying the airplane until I get a chance to see what happened,�� Blot said. �It could be a one-of-a-kind incident and you go on. It could mean this has to be fixed. Some evaluations take less than a day. Others take much longer.�
Aircraft at Cherry Point Air Station are supposed to be replaced with mostly the F-35B variant of the Lightning II, but production of the aircraft in a contract with Lockheed was in 2001 is more than 70 percent over original budget, now at about $395.7 billion.
While Cherry Point is last on the list to receive F-35B squadrons with none expected to be based there before about 2022, the Navy aircraft rework facility Fleet Readiness Center East has been tapped to work on the planes. If development and procurement stays on track, one could arrive there for modification as early as 2014.

Travelling through Africa's beautiful landscape? Book flights to Kenya and travel from warm palm-lined beaches to snow-capped mountains. Mount Kenya, the country's highest mountain, offers mountain climbers a popular challenge. In the capital Nairobi visit the National Museum or see the reptiles in Snake Park. Take a 15-minute drive to go on a safari and see giraffes and lions in Nairobi National Park, with the background of the city skyscrapers in the distance.
Kenya is home to so many wild animals that it is hard to choose from the many beautiful parks. Visit Amboseli National Park and see the elephants, monkeys and rhinos forage for food as the snow-capped peak of Kilimanjaro looms in the background. Or take a ride in a hot air balloon and watch the Big Five awaken. In the Masai Mara Natural Reserve, traditional tribes share the land with the wildlife. This is where several weeks a year, depending on the rains, the great migration takes place. Thousands of zebras and wildebeest rush towards the water. The sound of the thundering hooves is truly unforgettable! Expect to be surprised: book a flight to Kenya now!
In addition to desert, Kenya also features a variety of water landscapes. Surf and snorkel near Malindi Marine Park and play volleyball on the beautiful beaches of Mombasa. Soak up the authentic atmosphere on the Lamu Archipelago. Stroll through the mangrove forests, creeks and beaches. And don't worry about the traffic; except for the odd car, donkeys are the main mode of transportation here. One of Kenya's most photographed landscapes is Lake Nakuru. This shallow lake is home to thousands of bright pink flamingos. With luck you may even spot a rhino among the birds.
Looking for a cheap flight to Kenya? With KLM, your holiday begins the moment you step onboard. Your journey will fly by with your own entertainment set on intercontinental flights: free films, games and music. Enjoy our selection of snacks or a tasty dinner and drinks. Add in our many handy extra services (some available for a supplement) and you'll be in Kenya before you know it.

Organizational History:
Classes in veterinary medicine have been taught at Washington State University since the institution's beginning. In 1899 the veterinary program was organized into the School of Veterinary Science, and the granting of professional degrees for a three-year program in veterinary medicine was introduced. The first graduating class, consisting of two individuals, received their degrees in 1902. In 1906 the degree program expanded from three to four years of study.
Beginning in 1908 senior veterinary students were taught at a clinic in Spokane, where they could receive more practical experience, while all other students were taught in Pullman. This arrangement continued until 1923 when all teaching facilities and staff were brought to Pullman. In 1917, as a result of President E. O. Holland's reorganization of the institution, the School of Veterinary Science became the College of Veterinary Science. The name was altered to the College of Veterinary Medicine in 1925. In the 1930's the degree program was expanded to five years of study.
Reorganization in 1944 made the College of Veterinary Medicine a subdivision of the Institute of Agricultural Sciences until, due to pressure from local and national veterinary organizations, the College regained its autonomy in 1950. Presently, the College of Veterinary Medicine is comprised of the departments of (1) Veterinary and Comparitive Anatomy, Pharmacology, and Physiology, (2) Microbiology and Pathology, and (3) Clinical Medicine and Surgery.
More extensive histories of the College of Veterinary Medicine such as the Narrative History of WSU Veterinary College by Dr. Lavon M. Koger and A History of Veterinary Medicine in the State of Washington by Dr. E. E. Wegner, are located in WSU 167 in Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections.

ATLANTA (CBSNewYork/AP) — Now that he's about to make his highly anticipated debut with the New York Mets, Zack Wheeler will rely on some advice he got from a minor league coach.
Don't look up.
"I know it's going to be a big moment in my life," Wheeler said Monday, the day before he takes the mound against the first-place Atlanta Braves. "There's probably going to be some nerves."
The 23-year-old right-hander is one of baseball's top pitching prospects and a reason for hope in what is turning out to be another dismal season for the Mets. Heightening the anticipation, he'll be making his first start in the big leagues not far from where he grew up in the northwest Atlanta suburbs, meaning plenty of family and friends will be in the stands at Turner Field.
Wheeler said he'll try to follow a tip he got a couple of years ago from his pitching coach in Class A, former big leaguer Steve Kline, who said all the sights and sounds of a big league park can be a bit overwhelming the first time out.
"He said, 'Whatever you do, don't look up,'" Wheeler said. "I think he threw up off the back of the mound his first game. I'll always remember that advice."
The youngster will be joining a rotation that already includes 24-year-old Matt Harvey, who is having a brilliant season (5-1, 2.04 ERA, 102 strikeouts in 97 innings) and, in an interesting twist, will pitch the opener of a day-night doubleheader before Wheeler goes in the second game.
For the Mets, it's a chance to show their frustrated fans what they hope will be the centerpieces of a brighter future.
"I don't think I'm a savior at all," Wheeler said. "We've got some great arms here, some great players. We might not be doing too well right now, but I know the talent of these guys. Hopefully we'll turn it around soon. I'm just trying to come up here and help the team any way I can."
Wheeler arrived in Atlanta on Sunday and got a chance to hang out with family and three of his friends at the suburban Atlanta home he shares with one of his brothers.
"It was a good night, just talking and hanging out and telling some stories," Wheeler said. "We had a good time."
Now, it's time to get down to business. His first start comes against a power-laden Braves team that holds the biggest lead of any division leader, a team he remembers following as a kid when they had pitchers such as Tom Glavine, Greg Maddux and John Smoltz — though Wheeler downplayed his allegiance to the team he'll be facing.
"I wasn't a huge baseball fan," Wheeler said. "I liked watching basketball a little bit better. But how could I not watch the Braves growing up? My pop was always watching them. They were always good. But I'm not a huge Braves fan like everyone thinks I am."
Wheeler was the sixth overall pick by the San Francisco Giants in 2009 after being picked as Georgia's top prep player his last two years at East Paulding High School. He was dealt to the Mets in 2011 for outfielder Carlos Beltran and started this season at Triple-A Las Vegas, where he got off to a slow start but pitched much better in recent weeks.
In 13 starts in Triple-A this season, Wheeler went 4-2 with a 3.93 ERA. He struck out 73 and walked 27 in 68 2/3 innings.
He'll be looking to get more pitches over the plate in the big leagues.
"I walked a lot of guys in the minors," Wheeler said. "That's always been a problem with me. I want to come after hitters and throw strikes."
New York manager Terry Collins said he told Wheeler the same thing he told Harvey before his big league debut.
"He's only one guy and he's going to go out there every fifth day," Collins said. "I told him if he pounds that strike zone, he'll help."
Wheeler is just the latest in a long list of players to emerge from the baseball-rich Atlanta suburbs, a group that includes a couple of Braves regulars, outfielder Jason Heyward and catcher Brian McCann.
Wheeler, in fact, has worked out with Heyward during the offseason.
They'll be facing each other Tuesday.
"I'm happy for him," Heyward said. "It'll be fun."
Wheeler said it helped to grow up playing in an area that has produced so many big leaguers, and his development was pushed along even more by his time in Las Vegas, where the altitude and baked-out desert infield created conditions that definitely favored the hitters.
"It makes you battle a little bit more," he said. "It puts a little more pressure on you."
He'll try not to put too much pressure on himself as a rookie, even though Harvey has already set a high standard.
"I'll just go out there and do the best I can," Wheeler said. "People can take it how they want. Hopefully I'll do well and be up here with him for a while."

text: Brexit: Impact on occupational pension schemes Share this 6 OCT 2016 By: Matthew Swynnerton Following the UK's vote to leave the European Union, we consider the potential implications for employers and trustees of occupational pension schemes. Key issues Defined benefit (DB) schemes - employer covenant, investment strategy and funding. Defined contribution (DC) schemes - investment options. Existing legislation remains intact but could be subject to future change. There is uncertainty in relation to the impact on upcoming requirements. Potential impact For DB schemes, trustees should consider the impact on employer covenant, investment strategy and funding. In a guidance statement for trustees issued in July, the Pensions Regulator stated that any impact for DB schemes will be scheme and employer specific and that it is important that trustees and sponsoring employers discuss the issues in an open and collaborative way, review their position and ensure they understand the risks in the scheme's investment strategy and employer covenant. Depending on their conclusions, trustees may decide that they need to seek increased contingent security for the scheme and employers will need to consider how to respond to any such requests. For DC schemes, members' fund values may be negatively impacted by market volatility and employers and trustees may receive requests from members approaching retirement age to work longer and defer drawing their benefits. The Pensions Regulator's July guidance included that, as the future implications of any withdrawal from the EU become clearer, trustees may consider it appropriate to make changes to the investments included in the default arrangement and/or other investments offered to members. A significant amount of UK pensions legislation originates from the EU, for example, scheme specific funding requirements for DB schemes and non-discrimination. However, because these provisions have been implemented into national law they remain intact for the time being, although it is possible that they could change in the future. However, it is worth bearing in mind that: (i) large-scale repeal or reform that goes against equal treatment or reduces the regulation or security of pension schemes may be unlikely; and (ii) even if the legislation is changed, where legislative requirements have been incorporated into scheme rules, scheme amendment powers and legislation preventing detrimental changes to accrued rights may prevent changes to those rules. There are a number of upcoming issues which are now uncertain, such as the extent to which a new European Directive containing provisions in relation to pension scheme governance and disclosure will need to be implemented in the UK and the impact the referendum result will have on the Government's approach to the question of equalisation of Guaranteed Minimum Pensions and HMRC's policy on employers reclaiming VAT on administration and investment management costs. Further considerations Changes may be seen in the way that the UK courts, Pensions Ombudsman and Pensions Regulator interpret UK legislation, for example in relation to issues such as equal treatment and TUPE, if they are no longer bound to consider the interpretation of the European courts. However, any change in this area is likely to be gradual. Actions Trustees and employers of occupational DB schemes should engage collaboratively in considering the impact on funding. Trustees of DC schemes should consider consulting their investment advisers about the impact on the investment funds offered by the scheme. Trustees should be ready to deal with queries from members about the impact of the referendum result on the scheme. Trustees and employers should be aware of the potential future impact on legislation and keep the position under review. For a more detailed analysis of the issues, please contact the authors or your usual DLA Piper contact.

An ex-con with a history of violence beat a Miami-Dade detective in the head with a cinder block, kicked him in the head and chest and ran him over with his unmarked police car, police said Saturday.
Miami-Dade Police Department Director James Loftus called the beating "horrific."
"Don't ask me to explain this, and don't ask me to understand this," Loftus told reporters at a press conference Saturday afternoon. "Because I don't get it. It should horrify us all."
Michael Paul Robertson was arrested Saturday morning for the attack Friday evening in Liberty City, which left Carlos Castillo with severe head and brain injuries and several broken bones. Robertson's girlfriend was arrested as an accomplice.
Robertson, 33, knew he was wanted by Miami police. That's probably why he fled after being pulled over Friday night in Liberty City, Loftus said. But Robertson, already wanted for shooting a gun during an argument with the mother of his child, returned -- with a cinder block.
Robertson came up behind Castillo, who had stopped Robertson and his girlfriend, and slammed the block into the uniformed officer's head with such force that police said it broke into pieces.
Castillo, 37, crumpled to the street, where police said Robertson kicked him in the head and chest. Then he jumped into Castillo's unmarked black Dodge Charger, and ran the detective over.
Monica Banks, 25, had been handcuffed by Castillo and watched as her boyfriend attacked the detective. She later was uncooperative and lied to police when questioned, Loftus said.
Robertson drove away in the Charger, leaving the detective in a pool of blood. Castillo was so covered in blood that officers who arrived at the scene minutes later thought he'd been shot, Loftus said.
Castillo, a 15-year veteran of the force and currently part of the robbery intervention unit, was transported to Ryder Trauma Center in Miami. The assault left him with multiple skull fractures, brain injuries, a liver laceration, seven broken ribs and a spine injury, among other wounds. Castillo remained in critical but stable condition Saturday evening.
Police found Robertson hiding in a nearby home soon after the incident. Someone told police where Robertson was hiding, Loftus said, and that he wanted to turn himself in.
He and his girlfriend were charged Saturday morning with attempted first-degree murder. Robertson also has been charged with robbery/carjacking, aggravated assault with a firearm, and possession of a firearm by a felon.
Robertson has served prison time and probation time for burglary, grand theft and other charges, Miami-Dade court records show.
"It goes to show the dangers of the streets," said John Rivera, president of the Police Benevolent Association. "I just hope that not only the public, but the politicians, realize that cutting public safety only helps the criminals."
Miami Herald staff writer Jennifer Lebovich contributed to this report.

New: San Francisco Silent Film Festival Starts July 18
The San Francisco Silent Film Festival presents its annual summer event July 18–21 at the Castro Theater in San Francisco. This year's festival features a wide range of genres from an array of nations: Germany, Japan, Sweden, Bali, the USSR, the UK, Denmark, France, and America.
Here are a few highlights. The complete schedule and ticket information can be found at silentfilmorg.
The opening night film, Prix de Beauté (France, 1930), features the last starring role for Louise Brooks, the silent-era actress who has perhaps retained her allure better than any other. It's a rare screening of a film that has long been overshadowed by Brooks' work with director G.W. Pabst, especially Pandora's Box and Diary of a Lost Girl. Piano accompaniment by Stephen Horne.
Friday's screenings include Tokyo Chorus (Japan, 1931), a beloved early film by the great Japanese director Yasujiro Ozu, who demonstrates here the deft handling of both drama and comedy that would characterize his work for decades afterward. It concerns some of the filmmaker's enduring themes: the dreams and realities of everyday middle-class life, and the pleasures and pains of family dynamics. Music by Günter Buchwald.
One of Marion Davies' effervescent comedies, The Patsy (USA, 1928), shows at 7 p.m. Directed by the great King Vidor, Davies reveals the folly of her paramour, William Randolph Hearst, who felt comedy was beneath her, by delivering an energetic and charismatic performance, complete with impressions of other stars of the day, including Lillian Gish and Pola Negri. If not for Hearst, we might have had a full complement of Davies comedies, and she might have rightly taken her place among the best comedic actors of her day. Music by the Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra.
Saturday morning starts with cartoons. John Canemaker, author of Winsor McCay: His Life and Art, will give a presentation about the pioneer animator that includes several of his best known works: Little Nemo (1911), Gertie the Dinosaur (1914), How a Mosquito Operates (1912), and The Sinking of the Lusitania (1918). Piano accompaniment by Stephen Horne.
A rarely screened Douglas Fairbanks film shows at noon Saturday. Directed by the great Allan Dwan, The Half-Breed (USA, 1916) was filmed in part near Boulder Creek in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Wurlitzer accompaniment by Günter Buchwald.
Greta Garbo, another of the great sirens of the silent era, appears in Joyless Street (Germany, 1925) at 8:30 p.m., restored and reconstructed to get as close as possible to director G.W. Pabst's original cut. The film was censored for both its sexual and sociopolitical content as it highlighted the growing disparity between rich and poor in Weimar-era Germany. Music by the Matti Bye Ensemble.
Sunday starts at 10 a.m. with short films by the great comedians. Film preservationist Serge Bromberg presents new transfers of some of his favorite short comedies, including Buster Keaton's The Love Nest (USA, 1923) and Charlie Chaplin's The Immigrant (USA, 1917). Music by Günter Buchwald.
At 11 a.m. the festival will screen The Outlaw and His Wife (Sweden, 1918), one of the best films by the pioneering director Victor Sjöstrom of Sweden. Sjostrom was one of the most important cinema figures of his day, the only filmmaker to rival D.W. Griffith for artistry and innovation in the 1910s. Music by the Matti Bye Ensemble.
The Last Edition (1927), showing at 3:30 p.m., is sure to be a treat for Bay Area filmgoers. The movie is about a San Francisco Chronicle pressman and was shot throughout The City. Piano accompaniment by Stephen Horne.
The festival closes Sunday night with an 8:30 p.m. screening of Harold Lloyd's 1923 classic Safety Last!, which features the famous image of Lloyd dangling from the face of a clock above downtown Los Angeles. The film is the best known example of Lloyd's "thrill comedy," in which he sought to increase the laughs by increasing the danger. Music by the Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra.

In Bethlehem
In Bethlehem in starry light,
A mother lifts her shining eyes;
So peaceful and bright,
So still is the night.
In a stable a baby cries.
The angels sing about his birth.
The Son of God is come to us on earth,
Praise his name on high;
Men shall never die!
All the world is filled
With the love that he brings.
Born this night in Bethlehem,
The tiny babe who saved all men
Is Christ our King.

Trailer FrenzyA special place to find the newest trailers for movies and TV shows you're craving.
Still having a hard time getting a handle on this whole half-naked Mars movie starring Taylor Kitsch and green Avatar people? No problem. Disney has literally spelled out the entire plot of its "planetary romance" John Carter, for everybody who's struggling with the concept.
Except they did leave out the whole warring nations, space jumping and Civil War vet stuff, but that's all just dirty details!
Clearly this is an attempt to bridge the gap between people who have read Edgar Rice Burroughs' work and those who haven't — meaning, almost everyone. But as much as we poke fun at Taylor and his flock of hairless Martian warriors, we melt whenever we see Woola.
John Carter will hit theaters on March 9th.
