Display pixel density: Where 'more' is not necessarily 'better'
Summary: While beating the iPad 3's pixel density might look good on the box or in press releases, in the real world it can have a negative effect on performance and battery life.
Apple's iPad 3 retina display screen already has pixels so small that they human eye can't make them out. Going any denser than this is pointless.
Apple's iPad 3 has a screen density of 264 pixels per inch (PPI), but Google is rumored to be unveiling the Nexus 10 nest week, a tablet that could push the PPI count as high as 299, well beyond what the human eye can make out.
While this number might look impressive on paper, and allows Google to claim a win over Apple and the iPad 3, in the real world it is nothing to get excited about. In fact, unless you hold the screen real close to your face, or you spend time examining it with a magnifying glass, you're not going to be able to tell that it has more pixels per inch than the iPad 3.
There's also a downside to boosting screen density to beyond what the human eye can make out. The tablet's hardware has to pump those pixels to the screen whether your eye can make them out of not, and the system resources used to do this could better be spent doing other things.
Not only do the extra -- and redundant -- pixels put an unnecessary strain on the GPU, the extra load of the screen and GPU zaps battery life at a faster rate, meaning that your tablet will need recharging more often.
All these downsides just so marketing can get one up on Apple.
The bottom line is that when it comes to tablets, anything over 250 PPI is a retina display, and the pixels are too small to be seen individually. Boosting the figure beyond this might look good on the box and in press releases, but in the real world it can have a deleterious effect on performance and battery life.

Dan Bailey's overtime field goal lifts Cowboys past Browns
Arlington, TX, United States (4E Sports) – Dan Bailey buried two crucial field goals, including a 38-yarder in overtime as the Dallas Cowboys overcame a 13-point deficit en route to a 23-20 victory over the Cleveland Browns Sunday at Cowboys Stadium.
Bailey, who booted three field goals, forced overtime with a 32-yard field goal before burying the game-winner with 6:13 left in extra time to give the Cowboys (5-5) a second straight victory.
Tony Romo completed 35 of 50 passes for 313 yards and a touchdown for the Cowboys, who moved to .500 for the first time since Oct. 21 and to solo second in the NFC East behind the New York Giants (6-4).
Wide receiver Dez Bryant finished with 145 yards on 12 catches with a touchdown as the Cowboys' receiving corps garnered 313 yards on 35 catches, outplaying their Browns counterparts, who managed just 210 yards on 20 receptions.
Rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden completed 20 of 35 heaves for 210 yards and two touchdowns, both to tight end Benjamin Watson, but failed to prevent the Browns (2-8) from suffering a third loss in last five games.
Neophyte rusher Trent Richardson accounted for 95 of the Browns' 119 rushing yards, from 28 carries, singlehandedly outplaying Dallas rushers, who combined for just 63 yards on 21 attempts.
Weeden staked the Browns to an early lead with a 10-yard touchdown pass to Watson before Phil Dawson added field goals from 51 and 37 yards in the second period for a 13-0 Browns lead.
Bailey put the Cowboys on the board with a 44-yard field goal in the third period before running back Felix Jones scored on a two-yard touchdown run to cut the deficit to 13-10 in the fourth period.
Romo then pushed the Cowboys ahead, 17-13, when he connected with Bryant for a 28-yard touchdown pass. It was short lived as Weeden answered with a 17-yard scoring pass to Watson to put the Browns on top, 20-17.
Then, Romo led the Cowboys to an eight-play, 66-yard drive that ended with a 32-yard field goal by Bailey to force overtime.

Eternity is a long time to spend writing Harry Potter books
Monday, 10 March, 2014
By applying a differing interpretation to the prophecy that either Harry Potter, or his nemesis Voldemort, must kill the other in order to survive, could mean that the only one way either can actually die, is to be killed by the other.
As we know one did in fact kill the other (I'll refrain from giving away the ending away on the off chance you still don't know what happened…), meaning the survivor is now immortal. Well, that's one take on the wording of prophecy in any event.

For every superhero there is an individual superpower

"Fahrenheit 451", burn after reading, we've even supplied a match
Wednesday, 13 March, 2013
"Fahrenheit 451", is a novel by late US author Ray Bradbury, written in 1953, and set at a point in the future were books have been outlawed, and burned if discovered by the authorities… what a bleak prospect.
I wonder though if Bradbury ever envisaged a cover for his book along the lines of the one designed by Elizabeth Perez?

The breakfast of fictional characters, whatever you can imagine
Wednesday, 6 March, 2013
While the way a person crosses a street may say something about them, so does their choice of breakfast food, at least as far as literary and film characters go anyway:
James Bond is a pedant at the morning meal ("his favourite meal of the day"). His routine when stationed in London, as detailed in From Russia with Love, always comprises "very strong coffee from De Bry in New Oxford Street, brewed in an American Chemex, of which he drank two large cups, black and without sugar". Foodwise it is a speckled brown egg from a French Marans hen, boiled for exactly three and a third minutes ("it amused him to think there was such a thing as a perfect boiled egg"). It is always served with wholewheat toast and a selection of preserves and a "pat of deep yellow Jersey butter". Such fussiness conceals a deadlier truth. "I know all about you," Miranda Frost warns him in the most memorable line of Die Another Day. "Sex for dinner, death for breakfast. Well, it's not going to work with me."

What does the future hold? Your guess is as good as science fiction
Tuesday, 14 August, 2012
A timeline of future events consisting of predictions made mainly by science fiction writers.
While some predictions of science fiction have come to pass, if we were to compile a calendar of future events based on speculative fiction (taking in works from both science fiction and fantasy genres), we would run some hazards – not least the natural reluctance of authors to affix specific dates to their imaginings. Think, for instance, of the novels set in the not-too-distant (Man Plus) or far, far future (Ender's Game), or perhaps a dystopic future (Farhenheit 451, Anthem) such as, oh, after some apocalyptic event (The Last Man, Oryx and Crake), not to mention those that follow alternate time (Foundation series) and world systems (Anathem) entirely. By leaving their dates murky, writers allow their predictions the possibility of eventually coming true.

We are the characters from the fiction stories that we admire
Friday, 22 June, 2012
People are more likely to assume many of the personality traits of a fictional character in a book if they admire, or can identify with, said character.
Researchers said that "experience-taking" can only happen when readers are able to in a way forget about themselves and their own self-concept and self-identity when reading. "The more you're reminded of your own personal identity, the less likely you'll be able to take on a character's identity," Kaufman said in a news release. "You have to be able to take yourself out of the picture, and really lose yourself in the book in order to have this authentic experience of taking on a character's identity."
I know we're meant to be talking books here, but this has to make me a cross between Tintin and Han Solo… in my mind anyway.

Reprieve for Chidambaram in 2G telecoms scandal
NEW DELHI IN a major relief to beleaguered Home Minister P Chidambaram, a court here on Saturday dismissed a plea seeking to make him a coaccused in the 2G case.
The verdict, which came as Uttar Pradesh polls get underway next week, saved the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government, embroiled in various controversies, further embarrassment in the spectrum saga.
"I do not find any sufficient ground for proceeding against Chidambaram. The plea is without any merit and the same is dismissed," Special Central Bureau of Investigation judge OP Saini said at the end of his 63-page order keenly awaited by a battery of media waiting outside the court room.
Janata Party chief Subramanian Swamy had sought to make Chidambaram, then finance minister, a co-accused in the case, contending that he and jailed former IT and communication minister A Raja had committed irregularities in allotting 2G licences in 2008 at lower than market prices.
But the judge was not impressed with records and files Swamy had submitted along with his plea.
"There is no material on record to suggest that Chidambaram was acting with such corrupt or illegal motives or was in abuse of his official position. There is no evidence that he obtained any pecuniary advantage without any public interest," said Saini, adding: "There is no material on record to show that Chidambaram was acting malafide in fixing the price of spectrum." The home minister "indeed heaved a sigh of relief", said a close Chidambaram aide.
The aide said that the home minister was keenly watching court proceedings on TV from his 19, Safdarjung residence here as he also cancelled his day-long trip to Madurai.
But the never-say-die Swamy said he was surprised but not disappointed and would appeal against the trial court's ruling.
"I am surprised...but not disappointed because this is part of the game. I will appeal in the high court and if need be I will go to the Supreme Court," said Swamy, vowing to "continue my fight against corruption".
The Congress claimed victory in the court order which came two days after the government suffered a major setback when the Supreme Court cancelled 122 second generation telecom licences because their allotment was "arbitrary, capricious and contrary to public interest".
Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal said the verdict vindicated what the government had been saying all along.
"The truth can never be hidden. We knew that he was not responsible in any way either directly or indirectly and that these allegations were being made for political motives." Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee said in Kolkata: "Of course, it is a good judgment.
It is a relief." Information and Broad-casting Minister Ambika Soni also targeted Swamy. "Swamy lives by the media and has done this to keep himself alive." But the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which had focussed its target against Chidambaram and led a parliament boycott against him, said the fight was far from over.

Turn Off That TV -- and the VCR, Computer, and Video Games!
April 30, 2001 -- Last week was TV Turn-Off Week -- and for good reason. The damaging effects that today's media have on kids have been well documented. But take heart, there are ways you can gain control of your family's TV viewing habits, says the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP)
"The average kid is watching about 28 hours of TV every week, in addition to all the other media, like movies and video games," says Michael Brody, MD, chair of the AACAP's television and media committee and a child psychiatrist at University of Maryland in College Park.
In fact, much of children's media viewing takes place in kids' own bedrooms, outside of parents' supervision, says Amy Jordan, PhD, a senior researcher at the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. "More than half of all kids have television sets in their bedrooms. One-fifth to one-quarter of all preschoolers have TVs in their rooms, and, of course, many are sharing with a sibling. "
Just as many kids have computers in their bedrooms -- 20% -- and 11% have Internet access. "Parents may think that computer access is educational, but research shows it's not at all clear that the computer -- particularly the way children use it -- is beneficial," Jordan tells WebMD.
The result: Developing children are absorbing all sorts of messages about violence, sexuality, and drug and alcohol abuse, says Brody. "Kids walk around with these violent voices in their heads, and they can't concentrate on their schoolwork. Studies have shown that kids who watch violent television or play violent video games get into more fist fights."
Also, too much couch time is making kids obese. "Commercials push the junk food," Brody tells WebMD. "They reinforce the message that kids should eat junk." Kids are also developing eye problems and carpal tunnel syndrome from hours with the hand on the joystick, she says.
And kids who watch lots of TV often have lower grades in school, likely because they're not doing their homework. They also read fewer books, according to the AACAP.
So what can you do?
Here are a few suggestions from the American Academy of Pediatrics:
- Don't make TV or video games off-limits. Let kids watch one or two hours a day -- at the most.
- Let kids earn TV time if they also do something more active, like playing basketball or getting involved in a school club.
- Praise them when they do something besides watch TV.
- Limit your own TV viewing time.
- Videotape educational programs for family viewing.
- Don't put a TV in a child's bedroom.
Make your child's TV time more productive, says Brody. "Watch it with them -- even if you don't like what you're seeing. That's an opportunity to explain things to kids."

Time and Death1 Reviews
"Ryan." Ryan interrupted. Ryan flashed Brendon a toothy smile. Brendon rolled his eyes and looked away.
"Okay, listen up Ryan. I am not Brendon. I am not the boy who just died so leave me alone." Brendon kept walking.
"But you are. You have the same glasses. Red frames." Ryan pointed to the red glasses resting on the bridge of Brendon's nose. Brendon stopped dead in his tracks. He had forgotten that his frames were one of a kind. Last pair made that way.
"Listen kid. Whether I am or not just leave me alone. This isn't your problem." Brendon started walking again.
"I'm older." Ryan plainly stated as he continued to follow Brendon.
"What?" Brendon asked looking at the brown haired boy next to him.
"You called me kid, I am a year older then you." Ryan said without looking at Brendon.
"Your 19 then okay." Brendon kept walking hoping that Ryan would just leave.
"Your wondering why your not in your coffin. Why your not fully dead. I am right aren't I?" Ryan asked.
"But... How did you...? Never mind. Goodbye Ryan." Brendon said walking away from the older boy. Ryan stopped and thought for a sometime then ran to catch up with Brendon.
"I know how to answer your questions. Well I know someone who can answer your questions." Ryan said as he caught up with Brendon.
"Listen. I don't need your help so just go home." Brendon patted Ryan's shoulder and kept walking. He didn't know where he was going, just, away. Brendon suddenly felt a click and something tight around his wrist. He looked down to see that Ryan had handcuffed them together.
"Your a lunatic!" Brendon yelled trying to get away.
"I will take you to him. So he can answer your questions. Oh, and fighting me just makes it harder. I could always tranquilize you." Ryan said giving Brendon a stern look. Making Brendon shut up instantly. Brendon followed silently, not wanting to get hurt. Ryan approached a purple pinstriped house.
"Come in." An echoing voice said, Brendon looked around in search of the person behind the voice. Ryan pulled Brendon to the front door. It seem to wiggle. Like rubber. The door flung open with no one behind it. Ryan walked into the house and no one was to be seen.
"Close your eyes. And follow me. Don't try to touch anything. I won't lead you into any wall and such." Ryan sad pulling Brendon along. Brendon did as told and closed his eyes. He put his hand over them so no matter how tempted he was he wouldn't see anything. Ryan opened a door and walking inside. There was a couch and a poker table. That's it. Except for the large black office chair that was turned around.
"You can open your eyes now." Ryan told Brendon. Brendon removed his hand and opened his eyes to a plain room. Ryan shut and locked the door to the room. He unlocked the handcuffs and pushed Brendon onto the couch.
"Don't move unless told." Ryan demanded Brendon. Ryan walked over to the office chair and whispered something. Someone was sitting in it but it was backwards so Brendon couldn't see who.
"Really? How intriguing." The man said. He had a very thick Irish accent. The chair turned around to reveal a man. He was wearing a suit jacket that was black, dark blue, and dark purple. With galaxies and stars and it looked like the night sky. His top hat was a deep purple velvet with a zipper in the shape of a smile. He had all white pants except for the rim of the right leg. It was the same as his jacket. His white bangs swept down and covered his left eye. His right eye was white. The place where there was supposed to be colored was white. With a pupil in the middle. He gave Brendon a crooked smile.
"Your dead. You died the other day. I saw it." The man said. He stood and walked over to Brendon.
"Time." He stretched his hand out for Brendon to shake.
"Oh. It's 4:12." Brendon answered looking up at the man. He pushed his bangs back it did no use because they fell back down.
"Wrong." The man took out a pocket watch.
"How was I wrong. My watch is on time. Maybe you need to fix your." Brendon demanded. The man showed Brendon the watch. It had no numbers on it. Only two hands. But the hands were placed at 4:12, if the watch had numbers.
"How do you know I am wrong when your clock has no numbers!" Brendon yelled crossing his arms. The man laughed.
"You have an internal fire. May it never burn out. Even after death it burns with a fierce passion. But that's not what I meant. Time is my name. Last name is unknown. Not unknown like that's my last name. Unknown like I don't know it. I'm the king of sight." The man laughed. He seemed very friendly. Or at least that's what Brendon thought.
"So you knew he was dead?" Ryan asked Time.
"Of course I knew. What don't I know? Ryan you should know that I know almost everything. About almost everyone. Except one mysterious person. Even with her in my life I lack knowledge about her. I try to learn more about her everyday but she is mysterious." Time sighed as he looked over at the door. A tall slender woman walked through. She was wearing a dress. It was dragging on the floor behind her because of it's length. Up both of her arms were vines. Of what it seemed ivy. But it was black. It had ivy leaves on the vine, but they were black too. Her eyes were all black. Not even the part that was supposed to be white was white. It was black. Her hair went clear to her knees. And was all black except for one streak of white that went down the middle of her head, and hair. She was tan and had plump lips with black lipstick on them.
"This is my lovely wife. Death. My mystery. My muse. She is blind, but can see everything that matters. Souls, feelings, minds, life and death. The important stuff you know." Time smiled at Death and she smiled back. I guess it was just a feeling, she knew what was going on.
"Who else is in the room with us? There is you, Ryan, and a new person. With a wish, that's why he is back. He has died recently. This is the boy you were telling me about Time. This is Mister Urie. He has died in vain. That's why he is back you know. Maybe because he wants to be back. To find him. Or because Nightmare has been snooping around in coffins again." Death let out a light laugh.
"No. He doesn't know why he is back? He doesn't know if he chose to be or if he was brought back by something else. He seeks you help. That's why I brought him hear Time. So you can send him on whatever mission he needs to find out why he is back. I will help with anything." Ryan said to Time. Time scratched his chin as he thought about what Ryan had just said.
"Anything. Good because he needs to go find why he is here, with the living, when he is in fact not. I need you to go with him. To protect him. He will need you. He is not aware of the strange things that you will come to encounter. You are. But you don't have the weaponry. Reverie! Nightmare! Get in here! We need your toys!" Time gave Brendon a crooked smile and a sinister laugh.
"Toys?" Brendon asked looking at Ryan. Ryan had the same look as Time did on his face. What did Time mean by toys?

Just Imagine !
Today is the Electronic Day In support of Palestinian prisoners on hunger strike
Monday, 26th Nov. 2012
The action aims at supporting Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails, particularly those on hunger strike.
The campaign is an urgent move to save the lives of two Palestinian prisoners on hunger strike, Ayman Al Sharawna and Samir al Essawi.
Lawyer, Shireen al Essawi, sister of prisoner Samir al Essawi told UFree that the health conditions of both Samir and Ayman is rapidly and critically deteriorating. According to Shireen, Samir stopped drinking water for the past 5 days and he was admitted to the hospital on Sunday evening, 24th Nov. 2012. Meanwhile, Ayman suffers from weakness in his immune system as well as problems in his kidney which partially functions with 20% only. He lost eyesight in his right eye. He also suffers from various problems in his left leg.
see : UFree Network launches International Campaign to save 2 Palestinian prisoners' lives .
The organisation called upon all members of the free world to support Palestinian political prisoners, especially those on hunger strike by signing the companion petition below:
International Petition to save Ayman and Samir
Freedom and Justice for Palestinian detainees in Israeli jails
A number of Palestinian political prisoners continue their open hunger strike in Israeli jails. This includes two Palestinian prisoners, Ayman Al Sharawna and Samir al Essawi whose lives are at risk. Both of the political detainees are on a hunger strike since long time ago in protest of Israeli violation of the Shalit prisoner swap. Ayman and Samir were kidnapped and forcibly transferred to Israeli for no reason.
At this stage, the Israeli Prison Service is exerting tremendous pressure on them to end their hunger strike. It also attempts to bargain their freedoms by opting them between remaining in jail to continue their previous sentences (the sentences were removed as they were released in the Shalit prisoner swap) or leaving for exile.
Since their recent capturing, Israeli Occupation Forces did not convict or investigate them. Ayman Al Sharawna, 38, is a resident of Dora in Herbon city. He began his open hunger strike on the 1st of July 2012. He already suffers from various health complications including weakness in his immune system as well as problems in his kidney which partially functions with 20% only. He lost eyesight in his right eye.
He also suffers from various problems in his left leg. Meanwhile, Samir al Essawi, 33, a resident of Jerusalem started his hunger strike on the 1st of august 2012, since then he suffered from fainting and severe fatigue. He is unable to stand or walk properly in addition to excessive weight loss. Al Essawi was admitted to Asaf Hrovi hospital few times due to many health complications.
Based on the above facts, and the suffering of Palestinian prisoners and the inhuman treatment in Israeli jails; we the undersigned express our full support and solidarity with the Palestinian prisoners and call for the following:
1- An immediate release of Palestinian prisoners who are on a hunger strike as their arrest is illegal as it's the case with thousands of Palestinian prisoners.
2- We call on Egyptian President, Mohammad Morsi, to personally interfere to release those prisoners as they were released within the Shalit swap which was done by Egyptian mediation, yet Israel broke it.
3- We call upon Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) and the International Red cross to promptly and immediately interfere to save the lives Ayman and Samir. We call on them to expose Israeli flagrant violations, torture and inhuman treatment against Palestinian prisoners.
4- We request the United Nations Human Rights Council to put pressure on the Israeli authorities to release both prisoners in addition to sending an International commission to investigate torture practiced against Palestinian prisoners.
5- We ask the European parliament to stand by Human Justice by pressuring Israel to release Ayman and Samir.
6- We call upon the inter-parliamentary union to put a pressure over parliaments in the world so Israeli violations stop immediately
You can show your solidarity by changing your profile picture and avatar to this one .( design by Palestinian Hafez Omar)
Be part of Electronic Day In support of Palestinian prisoners on hunger strike.
Be part of the campaign , take action ! Introduce the world to the fair cause of Palestinian prisoners.
The Palestine you don't know: Palestine is 27.009 km² .
- Capital : Jerusalem.
- Borders:
from East : Jordan / from the north-east : Syria / from North: Lebanon / from West : the Mediterranean Sea (the Palestinian coast on the Mediterranean Sea is 224 km long) /from the south and south-west Egypt .
- my view ( our view as Palestinians ) for Palestine future :
Palestine is under occupation since 1917 , Britain then israel .
we don't recognize israel as a state but an occupation force which will be gone some day .
Jews are welcomed to stay in a free Palestine as Palestinians as our people lived together in peace before occupation .
After 64 years of israeli occupation , we are still fighting to get our land back and in order to the come back of refugees to their original home in Palestine .
- Abbas ( who was the Palestinian president 'till 2009 ) and the people ( who are really few ) said ok to israel and to less the 20 % of our land don't represent the Palestinian nation .
those people believe that this is a one step towards the complete liberation of land from river to sea , but history proves that this is not an effective way.

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS | Vancouver Urban Winery And Belgard Kitchen Hiring For FOH
July 10, 2014

DINER | "The Settlement" In Railtown Set For Postmark Brewing & Belgard Kitchen
April 3, 2014
by Andrew Morrison | 55 Dunlevy St. has seen a lot since the Vancouver Urban Winery took it over a couple of years ago. The old railtown address, all 7,700 sqft of it, is home to not only VUW – with its own Roaring Twenties Wine label, retail shop, and 36 tap wine lounge open to the public – but also FreshTAP, the company that brings BC wine to Vancouver's forward-thinking restaurants serving the stuff on tap. It can be a little confusing with so much going on under one roof, so they've gone ahead and rebranded the whole building, sort of as an umbrella moniker. As of this afternoon, it's called The Settlement Building. The rebrand is just as well, as the place will soon shelter two new companies.
The first of these is a 65 seat eatery called Belgard Kitchen. It'll offer day/night service, low and cozy hideaway booths, and bar height tables. Overseeing the food program is 19 year Earls veteran, Reuben Major. Together with chef de cuisine Jason Masuch (ex-Brix) and sous chef Mark Reder (ex-Fish Shack), Major plans on serving shareable small plates in the evening (eg. Swiss cheese fondue, bacon mushroom pate) and a larger lunch program that will see sandwiches, chile, soups, salads, slaws, a house special ramen, and a daily crockpot. I looked in on construction yesterday and they were just about to start installing the bulk of their kitchen equipment.
What's in a name? I had to consult a 20 volume version of the OED to find the answer. It turns out that a belgard came to English (the poets, natch) from the Italian in the 16th century or so, and it means "a kind and loving look." "The team felt the meaning captured what they're all about and what guests through the doors can expect," The Settlement's PR person, Kate MacDougall, explained. "It's their everyday disposition – made easier, I'm sure, surrounded by wine – and their service style."
Opening Day for Belgard Kitchen is set for the middle of April.
The second new company in The Settlement Building is a microbrewery called Postmark Brewing. It's being led by managing director Nate Rayment, formerly of Howe Sound Brewing, while the "brew chief" is none other than polymath Craig Noble, who made the engrossing 2007 Tableland documentary (also the brother of JoieFarm's Heidi Noble).
Postmark will produce four sessionable beers that will be available for growler purchase/refill, on tap (one presumes) 20 feet away at Belgard Kitchen, and in local beer-loving restaurants around town. If all goes according to plan, we'll be drinking their first beers in June.
The one catch to it all is that FreshTAP is moving out to make room for Postmark, which matters not to the public because it never provided any on-site services to the end consumer. In the grand scheme of things, however, it's worth noting that the little company with the big idea of selling local wine in steel kegs to local eateries has already outgrown its nursery (slow clap all around). They're looking at options for a new and scaleable space as we speak. Good luck, and well done indeed.

GOODS | "Vancouver Urban Winery" One Of Few To Receive City's New Lounge Licence
February 1, 2014
The GOODS from Vancouver Urban Winery
Vancouver, BC | Vancouver Urban Winery has just joined a select group of peer manufacturing facilities in Vancouver to be awarded the new government-appointed Lounge Endorsement License.

"This is a game-changer for Vancouver Urban Winery," says co-owner Steve Thorp. "We have a beautiful lounge within the facility, and we're excited to now couple our tasting program with a wine menu that allows guests the option to uncork a bottle by the fireplace or share a few 5-ounce glasses at the bar."
Vancouver Urban Winery guests will now have by-the-glass access to the 36 wine taps that line the 24-foot custom crafted Douglas fir tasting bar, as well as bottles of Vancouver Urban Winery's "Colab Series" currently featuring Road 13 chardonnay, Bench 1775 pinot noir and Backyard Vineyards sparkling wine.

GOODS | Thirsty For Knowledge? Sunday School Returns To Vancouver Urban Winery
August 19, 2013
The GOODS from Vancouver Urban Winery
Vancouver, BC |Vancouver Urban Winery is excited to announce the return of Sunday School, a series of informal and irreverent wine seminars hosted by Sommeliers David Stansfield and Lisa Cook. The first session was a runaway success with each course selling out. The second session – the #200 Series – picks up where the first left off. It consists of three interactive and inexpensive seminars geared towards wine lovers of all levels. Class is in session August 25 and runs every second Sunday evening until September 22.
The goal of Sunday School is to demystify wine by presenting it without pretense in a fun, interactive environment. "Wine scares people," states Stansfield. "It's like the bogeyman in a bottle. That's silly. It's just booze. We're here to dispel that fear, through drinking. I suppose that makes us the Ghostbusters of wine."
"Even after our first series of classes," adds Cook, "I still get a lot of freaked out texts from friends who are lost in the liquor store bewildered by rows and rows of unfamiliar labels. Obviously there's still work to be done; hence the second series."
Stansfield and Cook are both fixtures in the Vancouver wine scene. Stansfield works as the in-house Sommelier for Vancouver Urban Winery, as the Corporate Sommelier for the Daniel Hospitality Group which includes the Tap & Barrel, and as a consultant for east side restaurants Bestie and Cuchillo, while Cook is the Cellar Manager for the award-winning Joey Wine Room. Despite their professional experience in wine, their courses are not meant to produce the next batch of Sommeliers, but savvier wine consumers.
Each seminar features multiple flights of wines corresponding to a set theme. The first in the second series – #201: Better Know A Country: France – takes on the mother country for all things wine, the gauntlet through which all wine lovers must pass, France. The second – #202: BC vs. the World (the Rematch) – sees the return of the first series' most popular seminar. This interactive, blind tasting pits BC's best versus a line-up of international heavyweights. BC came out on top last time, but this time they're in tough. Forget Rocky II, this is the true rematch of the century. The final course – #203: He Said/She Said: the Sommelier Smackdown – sees Dave and Lisa pit their favourite wines against each other in a vicious cage fight for wine geek supremacy. Two Sommeliers enter the cage. Only one exits with their ego intact. Tickets can be purchased individually or at a discounted price for the whole course… Read more

Kuwaiti actress Shjoon Al Hajri announced she's married her co-star and cousin, actor Mohamed Al Alwy. Rumors have been rampant about her marriage to many other people.
Kuwaiti newspaper 'Al Anba' reported that this announcement was made on her joint page with friend Fatima Al Safi on the social networking website Facebook.
Shjoon directed this announcement towards everyone who's suspicious of her relationship status. She stated that she's married to the actor, director and also cousin, Mohamed Al Alwy.
Their hiding of the news came as a surprise, especially given the rumors of her marriage to a former Khaleeji businessman. Some thought this was a new rumor to those circulating about her marital status.
Kuwaiti magazine 'Ana Zahra' reported that Shjoon and her husband are the lead stars in the series 'Mozakirat Ailiya', written by Fahad Al Eliwa and directed by Gamaan Al Rowaie.YC/ATC-TCL.com المصدر

|home message archive theme my art my fics my photosets link four next
I reblog, draw and write stuff. Mostly DC, sometimes everything else. Oops. Follow at your own risk?
Unused pages from Teen Titans: Year One! I just dug these up from my old archives, and since most of them never made it to the trade, I figured I'd post them here for fans of the series.
The original concept was to do a two-page Beast Boy sequence at the end of each issue, telling the story of Beast Boy (always depicted as an animal) looking for the Teen Titans he's heard so much about because he wants to join. He visits the locations from the story but is always too late to catch them. In the end, I guess he would have found them and he'd have been included in Teen Titans: Year Two. Presumably.
Anyway, only the first sequence got printed, but when someone actually noticed that we were doing something fun, we were ordered from on high to remove the Beast Boy story from the issues because "animals in the DC Universe don't talk."
So there you have it. We only finished three issues of 'Beast Boy' before it got cut. Hope you like 'em!
Shout-outs to Amy Wolfram, Eddie Berganza, Serge LaPointe, Steph Peru and Romain Gaschet. Still one of my favourite projects ever.

OK, so the 1-year-old yelled something more like "Aaahhhhh!" but her message was crystal clear.
My friend, and fellow mom, was in disbelief that I got them not only to eat a fresh, healthy meal without bribery or threats, but actually to beg for more.
You may be skeptical, faced with the typical challenge of the "picky eater" and swayed by the undeniable convenience of packaged snacks and processed foods. Those factors, along with multimillion-dollar marketing campaigns aimed at convincing us that Froot Loops, Goldfish, Go-gurt, and Lunchables are healthy choices, often override our better judgment about what to feed our children. (You can learn more about behind-the-scenes marketing tactics in Marion Nestle's, "What To Eat.") What we've come to identify as "kid food" is truthfully mostly processed junk food made from poor-quality, cheap ingredients.
Children need fresh, nutrient-dense foods to support healthy development of their body, nervous system and brain. By making a weekly trip to your local farmers market and sticking to the perimeter of the grocery store (and out of the aisles), you can easily achieve this. The farmers market provides a great opportunity to get kids involved; let them sample the foods and help choose which to buy.
As for drinks, kids should mostly drink water. Limit juice to no more than one cup of 100 percent fruit juice per day, and avoid soda, diet soda and other sweetened and artificially sweetened beverages all together.
It is our job as parents to teach our children healthy eating habits that empower them to thrive physically, emotionally and socially. To deliver on this important promise, we must set aside time to shop for and prepare fresh, whole foods.
Here is a sample menu of healthy kid-friendly meals, snacks and desserts that have won star approval from my toughest critics. Find more ideas on my website.
Warm oatmeal (not instant) with a drizzle of pure maple syrup and a dollop of coconut oil. Mix in a spoonful of nut butter for a protein boost.
Lunch and snack for school
Turkey (nitrate- and nitrite-free) sandwich on sprouted multigrain bread, snap peas, sliced apple, peanut butter pretzels and water.
Browned tofu cubes (briefly marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, honey and powdered ginger), baked sweet potato and steamed green beans.

Agnews State Hospital, Agnew, Calif.
Two cases of bleeding from the gastro-intestinal tract during the course of reserpine administration in the treatment of mental illness are described. The fact that both patients had been under hospital observation for several years without previous evidence of gastro-intestinal disorder lends credence to the presumption that the reserpine was implicated as an etiological factor. It seems particularly noteworthy that one patient did not complain of any discomfort until bleeding had assumed serious proportions and the other patient never did complain of illness. As many patients are undoubtedly under treatment with reserpine who are suffering from the type of mental illness which does not permit ready communication to the nursing personnel of signs and symptoms of physical illness, the physician must be alert to the possibility of major complications without dependence upon the patient's complaints. The fact that both patients had undergone a lobotomy procedure is of interest but is considered probably coincidental.

What it is: Remember Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast At TiffanyŌĆÖs? Well, thatŌĆÖs exactly what this hairdo is about.
How to get it: Blow dry your hair straight and make sure you remove all the kinks. Section out the hair horizontally in the middle of the scalp and clip up. Now you need a ŌĆśbeehiveŌĆÖ or a ŌĆśbumpitŌĆÖ, pin it up well at the spot you want to create height. Use your own hair to artfully cover the bumpit. Pin up all your hair to create a ŌĆśtallŌĆÖ updo. Finish off with hair spray.

I am trying to import DWG files over to ArcMap, but none of the data show up on display. To preface this, I did not create these DWG, and these files were not given a projection and coordinate system. And I work on AutoCAD Map 3D 2011. So I have a couple of questions about this:
Well, I think you'd better find answers in an Esri forum, not here, sir.
Anyway, try to _MAPEXPORT from Autocad in .SHP format, then import the resulting shapefiles in Arcgis.
To add a DWG to ArcMap you use the button with the + sign. A extension is not necessary.
What coordinate system has the dwg data? In what coordinate system is the ArcMap data frame?
If the coordinate systems are equal, it is not necessary to assign a coordinate system to the dwg.
Start with some of our most frequented solutions or visit the Installation and Licensing Forum to get help installing your software.

If you were in West Hartford today you might have noticed a large number of exotic cars lining the streets.
The Ferrari and Friends Concorso held its 13th annual event Sunday and presented a check to Connecticut Children's Medical Center for $100,000.
The charity event brought in hundreds of cars and thousands of spectators from across the country. A parade was held I the morning and a car show in the afternoon.
The parade gave children from the hospital a chance to ride in the exotic cars and was headlined by Miss U.S.A, Connecticut native Erin Bradley.
Nicki Cartier, 16 and a patient for 225 days when she was 5-years-old accepted the check during a presentation.
