If you had a choice, would you rather your life on earth be lived in a physical state or non-physical state?
Purely an exercise in philosophy...
Suppose we lived our lives in a non-physical state. Everything else remained the same. We were born (but through a non-physical process), we died, we had careers,vacations, nature, loves, temptations, desires, interests - all the things we currently experience in our lives, with one exception - we had no bodies.
Old age is largely equated with the physical deterioration of the body.I watch my father's physical health deteriorate even as his mind remains relatively strong. The physical world has largely left him behind; he is unable to see, unable to walk without assistance, unable to do many of the things that require physical action. Yet his mind remains lucid, full of life.
Our world places a great amount of importance on physical appearances. Is it fair that some people are born physically unattractive?
If it is true that "beauty" is in the eye of the beholder", isn't it also true that our physical self is unimportant?
Is beauty skin deep?
Is our physicality a ball and chain?
Are the two inextricably linked?

Nov 19 2013: I reject the notion that we could exist in a non-physical state and "everything else would remain the same."
In the absence of the physical, would not our desires, temptations, careers, interests, etc. be inevitably different also? What (except possibly nature if you mean that which exists naturally other than ourselves) is not experienced through our physical selves, affected by our physical selves, and affecting our physical selves in turn?
Certainly our physical self does not exist primarily for "beauty.' Beauty is a judgment we make about our own and others' physical (and perhaps non-physical) characteristics, rather than a primary function of physicality. I would argue that no one is born physically unattractive. It may be that some people are more likely to be judged unattractive than others, but the standards for that are hardly universal or unchanging.
Nov 19 2013: Yes, I totally understand the impossibility of what I am asking. It is a fatally flawed question that most might avoid discussing because of it's premise...
I asked the question on a lark and now have come to my senses. I love my physicality and cannot even imagine how to separate it from the non-physical.
Nov 20 2013: Jim, I do not think it is a fatally flawed question. I can see layers in it.
Notwithstanding my attachment to physicality of my bodily existence, there are non-physical entities that are born, that grow, compete, flourish and/or die in a manner akin to physically living organisms. These non-physical entities interact between themselves and with us all the time. I have heard about ideas having sex in TED! :)
You could have as well asked how would we feel if (as in a thought experiment) we were ideas or concepts, or theories or principles (assuming these can feel and sense). In that philosophical exercise we can have insights towards how markets or societies function.

2011 Ford F-150 SuperCab FX4 4dr SuperCab 4WD Styleside 6.5 ft. SB (5.0L 8cyl 6A)
I've had this truck for just over a year now. It's already made two cross-country trips and has been driven everywhere from the Colorado mountains to the Arizona desert.
I have not had any problems whatsoever with the reliability or performance of the truck. It rides extremely comfortably and handles well in terms of breaking, acceleration, and turning.
I have not gotten the advertised fuel milage based on the calculations the Sync system displays. I got 18.0 MPG driving from San Diego to Charleston, and get 17.3 MPG averaged city and highway regularly. Still good for a full sized truck.
Overall, I am extremely happy with my purchase. If I had to do it again, I'd get the same truck.

Nicki Minaj's new music video- Moment 4 Life, and what I think
Last night MTV had another one of their OMG YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS MUSIC VIDEO moments. Most of the time when they do this, it leads to a lot of WTF reactions… good and bad.
Nicki Minaj and Drake were up last night with their video for "Moment 4 Life." Check it-
Everyone's entitled to their opinion, right? K, well here comes mine.
The beginning could be a bit much, but I did like it. The dresses/costumes are extravagant but gorgeous. The storyline was set, and I expected it to be cute. As the song progressed, the storyline seemed to disappear. It was more of them singing into the camera than anything else.
I gotta admit- I stopped watching music videos for a while. Then I started having CMT and GAC on in the morning when I got ready, and I liked them again. That being said, country music videos have a lot of storytelling in them… and maybe pop/rap artists like Nicki should take notes.
Her video could have been pretty epic, but it lost the special touch. Beyond the awesome outfits, it was pretty terrible.
Also- I wish she'd pick one of her "characters" and stick with it.. but I guess that's her personality- having multiple. I like Nicki, I think… I'm just a little on the fence.

Readers' CPP questions answered
Last week in this space, we talked about the pitfalls couples face when it comes to collecting their CPP pensions after one of them dies.
Even if both partners have contributed all their lives, the sum of the deceased person's pension and the survivor's pension can't be more than the maximum allowed.
Practically speaking, this means that many dual-income couples with decent work experience won't ever see much in the way of survivor benefits. In many cases, their CPP pension will essentially die with them.
Judging from my mailbox, the fact that there's such a ceiling on CPP survivor benefits really upsets some readers. So much so, that many have been quizzing me on their other assumptions about the CPP.
Here then are some of their concerns and a few suggestions to help frame your thinking.
Should I take my CPP pension as early as I can?
It depends. The longer you live, the more money you can expect to collect from the plan.
Most actuaries estimate that women who retire at age 60 – the earliest age at which you can collect – will live to something like 84, on average. Men who retire at age 60 are expected to live to an average age of 81.
Most people tend to underestimate the life expectancy – but there are, of course, no guarantees that you'll actually live that long.
If you're now 60 and you live to be in your 80s, taking CPP earlier than 65 would mean a lower total pension income over your lifetime.
On the other hand, if you need the income and would otherwise have to draw from RRSPs, starting CPP early could work for you because it would mean that your RRSP funds can stay tax-sheltered longer.
How much will I lose by taking my pension at 60?
Until recently, if you started taking benefits at age 60 you received 30 per cent less annually than what you would have received if you started at age 65.
Since 2012, that penalty for starting at age 60 has been increasing and will climb gradually to 36 per cent annually by 2016.
Conversely, the annual bonus for starting to receive benefits at age 70 has been 30 per cent more than your age 65 entitlement, but that will increase to 42 per cent by 2016.
All of which means that the crossover, or break-even, point between taking CPP at 60 rather than 65 – assuming you don't continue to work or reinvest that CPP money – is somewhere around age 75.
The more confident you feel about living beyond that point, the stronger the argument for waiting.
How can I figure out what I'm likely to get?
The amount you'll eventually receive depends on your time in the plan and your career earnings going back to Jan. 1, 1966, or when you reached age 18, whichever was later.
To get a detailed estimate, go to the Service Canada website where you can download a history of your CPP contributions and an estimate of the potential monthly pension.
One thing to look at is your dropout period. If you contributed to CPP for 46 years, for example, approximately 7.5 years (or 16 per cent) of this time period will be excluded from the calculation, potentially boosting your pension.
Next year, the percentage will rise to 17 per cent, which will allow up to eight years of low earnings to be dropped.
Your work history matters. If you've had too many years of low or no earnings and don't see yourself working any longer, you might be better off taking your CPP early rather than waiting until 65.
Do I have to stop working before I can collect?
No. Under the old rules, if you decided to take your CPP pension before 65, you had to either stop working or significantly reduce your earnings for at least two months.
Now, however, you can take your CPP pension as early as age 60 without having to stop working or reduce your earnings artificially.
If choose to collect at age 60, can I still contribute to the plan?
Yes, if you're still working – in fact, you'll have to. Until the recent changes, once you began to draw your CPP, you could no longer contribute even if you still had a job.
Now, if you're receiving a CPP pension and choose to work, you and your employer will be required to make contributions until age 65 – after that they're voluntary.
The good news is that this will increase your pension through the Post-Retirement Benefit (PRB), a new lifetime benefit that's separate from your CPP retirement pension.
Contributions towards the PRB will generate a separate benefit payable as early as January 1st of the year following the year you made the contributions.
What if I don't work after 60, but wait until 65 to collect?
That would be a mistake. The extra five years of no earnings will actually lower the CPP pension payable at 65.
This is because the period you're expected to pay into the plan continues until you actually start receiving your benefits. So essentially adding five years of zero earnings to the end of your contributory period makes little sense.
Will my CPP pension impact any other pensions I'm receiving?
Yes, if it's a defined benefit plan and is integrated with the CPP. Check with your HR department to get the specifics on your plan.
Most DB pension plans are designed to provide you with a combined pension income – from both your plan and CPP – that equals approximately 1.5 to 2 per cent of your average salary multiplied by your years of credited service in the plan.
Each year, the CPP establishes a maximum amount of earnings on which to base your contributions (for example, in 2013 the maximum is $51,100).
Generally, while you're working, you contribute less to the plan on earnings below the CPP maximum, and more on that portion of your earnings above the CPP maximum.
If you retire before age 65, most plans offer a bridge benefit to essentially "top up" your early retirement pension until age 65.
However, when you turn 65 that pension is reduced to recognize what you're now receiving from CPP. In rough terms, the reduction cancels out much of the CPP pension you would qualify to receive at 65.
Regardless of when you decide to actually take your CPP pension, your DB pension will be reduced at age 65. Consequently, many people in these circumstances opt to take CPP at 60.
What's the impact of CPP on other government programs I'm receiving?
It varies. Income-tested benefits from programs such as War Veterans Allowances, Guaranteed Income Supplement, and the Allowance will certainly take your CPP pension into account.
This means that some low-income earners must consider the impact that starting or deferring their CPP pension will have, for instance, on the GIS – a monthly benefit paid to seniors with little or no additional income.
The maximum monthly GIS benefit for the first quarter of 2013 is $740, and the annual income threshold for 2012 is $16,560. Over this, however, the GIS is clawed back at 50 per cent or 50 cents on every dollar.
Is my CPP pension fully protected from inflation?
Yes. CPP pensions, including the new PRB, are adjusted annually to account for increases in the cost of living as measured by the Consumer Price Index — and that's another possible advantage of waiting to collect your CPP pension.
This indexing provides you with a guaranteed boost in returns not available within an RRSP. And that difference will compound over time. The bigger your monthly cheques will be in the years to come, the greater the benefit of any future cost-of-living adjustments.
What happens to my CPP benefits if I die?
Survivor benefits are payable to a spouse or common law partner and children who are under 18 (or until age 25 if they're still in school.)
The size of the monthly cheque your beneficiary collects depends on the CPP pension you're already receiving, or would have received had you been 65 at the time of death, your beneficiary's age when you die, and the amount of money he or she is already receiving in personal CPP benefits.
Your beneficiary would see a one-time lump sum death benefit of up to $2,500, plus a maximum monthly CPP pension, in 2013, of $557 (if they're under 65); $608 (if they're over 65); as well as $229 for each child.
Most survivors don't see anywhere near that, however. The average survivor benefit is currently $312 for someone over 65 and $383 for those under 65.
Remember, as we discussed last week, there's a cap on how much a surviving spouse can actually receive.
What happens if I'm single?
Unlike most DB pension plans, where if you're single when you start receiving your pension your estate is generally entitled to at least 10 years of payments, the CPP offers no such relief.
With no partner or children, your CPP pension ceases upon your death. Your estate will get a one-time death benefit of up to $2,500 to help with your funeral. Everything else you contributed over the years will go towards other people's pensions.
Again, unless you expect to be very long lived, this is an argument for collecting early to ensure you get as much out of the plan as possible.

In Jamaica, visit the beachfront Reggae Cafe serving jerk chicken, burgers and fries. In Curacao, visit Patafari for Italian food.
Included activities include the use of the resort's pool and spa facilities, but also adventures such as water skiing, windsurfing, kayaking and sailing. Breezes Bahamas features tennis courts and free instruction. Guests can explore jogging trails, work out at the fitness center, ride bikes or play beach volleyball. Many resorts offer classes and other events. Breezes Curacao, for example, hosts fashion shows, beachside parties and mixology classes. Activities vary by location, so check with each Breeze's location for details.
The one variable cost involved when staying at a Breeze's location is the type of room you stay in. Like any hotel, options range from traditional suites with ocean or garden views, up to deluxe rooms with balconies and suites with separate living areas. All rooms include television, telephones, CD players, irons and ironing boards, coffee makers, and safes for holding valuables. Guests can choose to upgrade their rooms, but all guests enjoy the same access to other resort amenities.
Several Breeze's locations offer complimentary weddings that include everything from the marriage license, officiant and flowers to the wedding cake and champagne. Details vary, such as who handles the marriage paperwork. At some locations, Breeze's handles it. At others, the couple arranges the paperwork. Check with your desired Breeze's location to see what facilities it makes available for weddings and how much notice personnel need to plan your special day.
Not Included
Many Breeze's locations feature golf courses and spas. However, guests must pay extra to enjoy these amenities. The resorts also offer Internet access, but guests must pay to use that feature as well.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court Monday refused to block state court rulings requiring New Orleans to pay $17.5 million for its share of the fire department's retirement fund for 2010 through 2012.
The Landrieu administration stopped making full monthly payments to the fund in July 2010.
The city said it could not afford the payments, and argued that ambiguities in the law give the mayor discretion over the amount of the city contribution. The city also says poor investments by the Firefighters Pension Board have driven up the city's contribution amount.
The city had asked the U.S. Supreme Court to stay implementation of the state ruling pending an appeal. Deputy Mayor Andy Kopplin said the city was reviewing its legal options.
The $17.5 million judgment, combined with the city's cost of a court-backed jail reform agreement Sheriff Marlin Gusman struck with inmates and the U.S. Justice Department, "will be devastating to the City's budget and could potentially lead to cutting critical City services," Kopplin said in an emailed statement.
Negotiations and court hearings involving the city, the sheriff and inmate attorneys continue over funding the jail reform plan, which is expected to add millions more annually to the city budget.

San Diego Zoo, San Diego, California
2920 Zoo Dr, San Diego, California 92101| Map |
Other Nearby Places to Visit
You too, belong in the Zoo! The San Diego Zoo! When you're feeling like a kid again, or have a few kids of your own, this is the place to go for eye-to-eye interactions with big animals while enjoying the pleasant weather of Southern California. Planning a family trip to the area is easy since there are plenty of family attractions in San Diego. Some great day trips include visiting the local mission, heading to the beach and touring Balboa. However, one world-famous attraction is a definite must see.
The San Diego Zoo is one of the highest ranked zoos in the world, known for being innovative and comprehensive. Many visitors are surprised to find that there are over 800 species and over 4,000 animals. The area that surrounds the San Diego Zoo is quite urban. The land it is on is a smaller plot for such a diverse zoo; it doesn't seem huge on a map, but the San Diego Zoo attractions pack a lot into a limited space.
Here you can see animals from all around the world. They have elephants, giraffes, gorillas and more. Take a walk through a tropical rain forest in the Ituri Forest and see species from Africa. At Tiger River, you will find Malaysian tigers, crocodiles and other reptiles. You won't want to miss the Panda Trek with giant pandas Mei Sheng and Bai Yun. Seeing these special animals is one of the most popular San Diego Zoo activities. A visit here can take a full day, maybe even two! Thankfully, there are a number of kid-friendly hotels near the San Diego Zoo.
If you take a summer vacation to the area, be sure to check out things to do in the San Diego Zoo after dark. Since many animals are nocturnal, night is the best time to see cats prowling and wolves howling.
While open 7 days a week, the San Diego Zoo hours do fluctuate throughout the year. Be sure to check with them directly to verify hours before your visit. Luckily, the weather is generally nice all year long and even off-season is a stellar time to make family trip plans in San Diego. As a tip, try to get there early in the summer. Not only will the crowds be thinner, but the temperature is cooler.

You belong in the Zoo!Flag review
Something for everyone at the beautiful San Diego Zoo! One of my favorite places is the bug house in the Children's Zoo area. My eldest son loves the snake house with the poisonous species. My daughter likes watching the pandas (they were eating bamboo on our visit) and the toddler loves the elephants. Many of the enclosures have high walls or large bushes in front to protect the animals but it does make it hard for little ones to see the animals from their strollers. I would recommend taking the bus during your trip for an overview of the entire park. Then you can revisit on foot the places you'd like to see again. You can pack in your own food and bottled drinks for a picnic inside the park.
Tips for Families
A stroller is a must as there are lots of hills and it's a very large zoo. Bring your own hat, sunscreen and comfortable shoes.

One of the Best Zoos in the CountryFlag review
The San Diego Zoo is a don't-miss attraction on your visit to San Diego. It's home to over 4000 animals and 800 species on 100 acres. It is tiring to walk around for an entire day but it's a relaxing day too as you are surrounded by lush landscaping including 700,000 plants . Exhibits are spread out and are grouped into habitats that are connected by walkways, moving escalators and the most fun for kids, the Skyfari aerial tram. There's also a children's zoo where little ones can get up close and personal with animals. This is an engaging outing for all ages and activity levels.
Tips for Families
When you need a real break, Albert's sit-down, treehouse restaurant is a peaceful respite.

Must See Attraction for FamiliesFlag review
This was the best zoo our family had been to. There were so many different animals there that my children had never got to experience. There is so much to see and do. There is a bus that takes you to see a lot of the animals , but the see them up close and get better pictures it is best to walk, since the bus zooms by each one pretty quick. Also one neat thing the the sky trail ride which took you high atop the zoo for a beautiful aerial view.
Tips for Families
Wear good walking shoes, you will need them. Bring you camera there was so many great picture spots. Just take you time and enjoy to take it all in.

Best Zoo ever! You need two days to get ALL of the entertainment and attractions that are available.Flag review
The San Diego Zoo is a family destination for a reason--there is entertainment and attractions for everyone. From the interactive petting zoo to the 4-D Ice Age movie--the entire family will be blown away by the bus ride throughout the entire Zoo and getting up close and personal with the massive animal habitats. There are also Cirque-du-Solei type performances throughout the park which are a must-see.
Tips for Families
Get to the Zoo when it first opens. Try to visit when the weather is moderate. We visited in August and it was very, very hot. You might need two days to cover the entire Zoo or at least a day and a half, especially with small children. Definitely take the tram ride first, it gives you an overview of the entire Zoo so if you only have a limited amount of time, you can quickly visit which exhibits you want to see after the tram ride.
Suggestions for nearby family-friendly accommodations
We stayed at the Sheraton Mission Valley San Diego Hotel which was great and nearby to the Zoo. Family friendly for sure.

How to dual boot Vista with Ubuntu
There are two ways to run several operating systems on your computer. You can run them with virtualization inside one another, or you can install them alongside each other and boot each individually, this is the easiest method for most users.
You don't even have to create a dual boot system with Linux, in this case, Ubuntu. It can be installed by itself without Vista or any other operating installed first. Most users purchasing a new computer will find Vista installed so this is the route I will take for this tutorial.
Let's take a look at installing Ubuntu alongside Vista on a computer, assuming Vista is installed first as this will cover most instances.
1. You need to boot into Vista and set some hard drive space aside for your Ubuntu installation. Right click "Computer" and go to "Manage."
From there go to "Disk Management." Right click the drive you want to partition for dual booting and select "Shrink Volume." In most cases you will be working with the C: drive. How much space you set aside will depend on the size of your drive but 20GB should be sufficient. Choose more space if you have it.
An optional step is to create another partition, in the same manner as above for the purposes of shared storage for Vista and Ubuntu if you want to share files between the two operating systems. Again, choose as much space as you think you'll need or as much as you can spare. You may have to use a third party utility to format the optional partition as FAT32, Ubuntu has limited support for NTFS volumes, the default for Windows 2000, 2003 and Vista.
Once the settings are to your liking, click "Shrink." Note, do not format the newly created partition, leave it as is. Ubuntu will later format and size it as necessary.
2. Obtain Ubuntu by downloading the ISO and burning it to a CD. You will need an image burner to do so, Nero, DeepBurner or CDBurnerXP Pro all have this capability. Once you have downloaded and burned the Ubuntu image you are ready to start the installation process.
3. Insert the CD you just burned into your optical drive and wait for it to boot. Note, if it does not boot, you will need to change the boot drive settings in your BIOS which vary between manufacturers but in general, are similar. Consult your motherboard or PC manufacturer documentation on how to change boot drive order if you are not sure.
4. Once the CD boots, select the "Start or Install" option. Ubuntu will boot to a live version of the operating system that runs off the CD. Once it has loaded, you will be able to check out the features of the operating system and compatibility with your hardware. Double click the "Install" icon on the desktop to begin the installation process.
5. The first steps of the installation process will be to select your language and location to set the appropriate time zone, after doing so, click "Forward."
6. Set up partition for installation of Ubuntu. Remember that hard drive space you set aside in the first step, Ubuntu is now going to make use of it. The Partition Manager will now start. Its default action is to use the largest unpartioned space present on the hard drive. Do so. Advanced users are welcome to configure it manually but I cannot recommend doing so if all you want is to get it installed. Click "Forward."
7. (Mostly optional.) Migrate settings, I usually skip this step but if you have settings you want to import into Ubuntu, do so, don't let me stop you but I skipped over this step.
8. Enter your account information. Here you will need to select a username and password to login into your Ubuntu installation. Click forward and you will be ready to install.
9. Install. This is the last screen before the installation begins, here you will be able to review and change settings if you are not happy with them. Assuming everything is to your liking, click the "Install" button.
10. Grab a soda, make a snack and wait for the installer to finish. This shouldn't take more than 40 minutes to an hour on the outside. On sufficiently faster systems, it may finish in as little as 20 minutes. The last phase of the installation process will be to install and configure GRUB (the bootloader). Once that is complete, you will be able to select which operating system you wish to boot, Ubuntu will be selected by default.
These settings can be changed within Ubuntu itself should you want Vista to boot first instead. This is optional, if you've made it this far, Ubuntu is installed and ready to use, for the most part.
There may be some lingering hardware compatibility namely with your graphics card, wireless card or some other nonsense like that. If you need help with that, any competent search engine should be able to point you towards a tutorial to fix the particular problem. But, it's almost guaranteed it will be a graphics card or wireless hardware issue.
It's also been a problem where users haven't been able to set the correct output resolution for their monitor. Solutions for that depend, well, just depend, you'll have to search online and may have to try several fixes before it's corrected.
After all that, it's time to enjoy Ubuntu.

Purchased new Toshiba Satellite ADM64 machine with Vista. Installed Ubuntu 8.04 as a dual boot system. Allotted 51GB for Ubuntu. Installation when great. However, when the dual boot screen came up after reboot both Ubuntu or Vista failed to load when selected. After many frustrations to get either os up, reinstalled Vista via recover disk. How did I screw up?

Instapaper 2.3 for iPhone and iPad now available
This is a major update with many improvements and fixes. The first change you'll notice is the new layout of the list screen:
- Both the iPhone and iPad now include the first few lines of text from articles (previously iPad-only). This text is downloaded for new articles only: Re-Download All Articles in Settings for it to apply to your previously downloaded articles.
- The list now indicates approximate article length and progress with a row of dots, similar to how it's done on a Kindle's home screen. The more dots, the longer the article is, and darkened dots indicate approximately how far you've read in the article.
The change is more subtle on the iPad, which now displays one more line of text and has the new length-and-progress indicators:
…but it comes with a huge hidden improvement: the iPad is now much faster to download updates.
Dark Mode improvements
The iPhone's font panel also got its most highly requested feature, a Light/Dark toggle without needing to leave the article:
But you won't need to use it as often, because I've added a ridiculous little feature:
You can now have Instapaper automatically use dark mode at night and normal (light) mode during the day.
But how, exactly, do you define "night"? There's no API access to the iPhone's ambient light sensor, so I can't just enable dark mode in dark rooms.
And I can't just define hour boundaries, because 8 PM in December is much darker than 8 PM in June.
And I can't just look at hours and the date, because 5 PM in December is much darker in Alaska than in Costa Rica.
So I used with the most reliable method I could think of: sunset times in your location. Yes, Instapaper is now location-aware, but only for this feature. (Leave it to me to come up with the least-social use of locations possible.)
I've left this feature enabled for the last few weeks on my own iPhone and iPad, and I absolutely love it. I no longer need to think about dark mode: it's just always set to what it should probably be.
Account sync with Safari
Instapaper 2.3 also contains a lot of less flashy improvements. With one of them, I hope to reduce one of the most common support issues: customers who have mistakenly entered different usernames in the app and Mobile Safari. Often this is from a simple typo or consistency mistake, such as entering "email@example.com" in one place and just "user123" in the other, and mistakenly registering a new account (people don't read text, especially in dialog boxes, remember?).
So there's a new "Sync Account with Safari" item in Settings that launches Safari, checks that the usernames match, and offers you the choice if they don't:
Tap the one that you want to use in both places, and Instapaper will sync Safari and the app to use it.
I've also overhauled the back-end login system to tolerate username changes, give more helpful errors (instead of "No internet connection") on authentication failures, and fix the "username is already taken" bug in the login screen. Hopefully, you'll never notice.
Slightly easier bookmarklet installation
The bookmarklet installation now skips the Select All and Copy steps, since the app downloads and copies the required bookmarklet code to the pasteboard for you. But bookmarklet installation is still needlessly complex due to shortcomings in iOS. Please, Apple, fix bookmarklet installation in Mobile Safari!
New "ihttp:" adding method
Instapaper now supports the "ihttp://" URL scheme to add pages. (Thanks for the idea, GoodReader.) If you can't get the bookmarklet, the email address, or Copy working to add pages for some reason, or you just don't like any of them (hey, you never know), there's now another way to add pages to Instapaper from the iPhone or iPad:
Edit Safari's URL field and insert an "i" before the "http://", tap Go, and Instapaper will launch and offer to add that page.
So there are now four ways to get any web page into Instapaper:
- The Read Later bookmarklet.
- Emailing its link, or its full text, to your Instapaper email address.
- Copying its URL from another iOS application, then launching the Instapaper app.
- Inserting an "i" before "http:" in Mobile Safari.
Plus over 130 third-party applications that support sending to Instapaper directly.
And more
2.3 also brings a lot of smaller improvements and fixes, including:
- New Sharing options:
- Send to OmniFocus
- Send to QuickReader (supported by its next version)
- Copy Link
- Copy Article Text
- Fixed sharing bugs with Twitter (their iPad app doesn't support it yet, so it's disabled on iPad for now) and Twittelator Pro.
- New option to skip the in-app Browser and open links directly in Safari.
- Improved help text and other minor interface issues.
- Fixed handing of in-page anchors (including most footnotes) and mailto: links.
- Fixed miscellaneous bugs, including a pagination scrolling bug when running under iOS 4.2.
And, as usual, 2.3 is a free universal upgrade to anyone who has ever bought Instapaper on iPhone or iPad. If you really need to give me more money, consider becoming a Subscriber, but you really don't need to.
What are you waiting for? Get Instapaper 2.3!
(If it hasn't shown up in the App Store for you yet, it should within a few hours.)

The Design of the Heisman Trophy
First, the trophy itself - what should be its style, size and design? The traditional cup or bowl seemed too commonplace, lacked distinction and was in no way emblematic of the athletic talent to be honored and immortalized. The Club Trophy Committee decided, after deliberation, that the trophy should be the replica in bronze of a muscular footballer driving for yardage.
To create this trophy, a well-known sculptor and National Academy Prize Winner, Frank Eliscu, was engaged. He set to work at once selecting Ed Smith, a leading player on the 1934 New York University football team, as his model. In due course, Eliscu prepared a rough clay model. It was approved by the DAC Committee and sent uptown to Jim Crowley (one of the legendary Four Horseman of Notre Dame), then Head Football Coach at Fordham, for his inspection. He showed the replica to his players who took various positions on the field to illustrate and verify the side step, the forward drive and the strong arm thrust of the right arm. Sculptor Eliscu closely observed these action sequences and modified his clay prototype to correspond. The result was a truly lifelike simulation of player action. It was then converted into a plaster cast, a step preliminary to ultimate production in bronze.
A Memorial to Players and a Coach
The final inspection of the cast was made after a dinner at the McAlpin Hotel on November 16, 1935, attended by Coach Elmer Layden and the entire Notre Dame football team (they had just played a memorable 6-6 tie with Army before 78,114 fans). The members of the Fighting Irish squad were impressed by the animation and fidelity of Eliscu's model - especially Wally Fromhart, Don Elser and Wayne Millner. The 1935 Notre Dame team thus put its seal of approval on this new trophy. Now it was ready for its final stage, bronze casting, after being refined by a diversity of intercollegiate contributions; the live model from New York University, the Fordham team which brought reality to the prototype, the men from Notre Dame who endorsed it, and two of the "Four Horseman" who gave it their personal blessing. The trophy was, indeed, an almost classic sculpture, an artistic as well as athletic triumph.
The finished product, cast in statuary bronze, faithfully depicts a skilled and sinewed football player, sidestepping, and straight arming his way downfield to a mythical touchdown! The statue is 14" long, 13 ½ high and weighs 25 pounds.
The first award of the DAC Trophy was made on December 9, 1935 to Jay Berwanger, a triple threat cyclone in Chicago's backfield. In 23 games (1933-1935) Berwanger gained more than a mile from scrimmage.
Following John W. Heisman's death in 1936, the DAC Trophy was renamed the Heisman Memorial Trophy as a fitting tribute to the memory of the distinguished American athlete and inventive football genius. In 1968, the Heisman Trophy Committee voted to award two trophies each year - one to the winner and one to the college or university he represents.

Needles At Dawn
I actually had a dream about the online embroidery community turning on me last night. It was pretty distressing. What has my life become?
Brain brain go away, don't come back 'til 8:30.
I think this illness is harder for creative people. I'm not saying that it's not hard for every sufferer, but artists train themselves to see huge bursts of nervous energy and a rapid flow of intense thoughts as a good thing. For example, I tend to forget that I need sleep and balance if I'm ever going to bring all these great ideas to fruition.
This feels appropriate right now:
The Knitter, the Stitcher, and the Quilter.
No, this is not a "walked into a bar" joke, or a Perraultian fairy tale.
It's all just in a day's work.
One of Debs' beautiful pieces
It's all just in a day's work.
Today, a knitter (Debs), a quilter (Catherine), and a stitcher (me!), gathered to (hand)stitch together Walthamstow's Neighbourly Quilt.
Back in May I was just finishing off my first internship with Catherine at her Walthamstow-based Social Enterprise Significant Seams (I've just begun my second internship there).
My first jaunt at the Significant Seams Hub was based around a community arts project: the Neighbourly Quilt project featured here.
Significant Seams asked residents of E17 to hand in fabric squares decorated using various textile techniques, or attend a workshop to learn a technique with which to decorate their square. The theme of the square was to be either "something which makes good neighbours", or "something which I love about Walthamstow".
We received 68 patches in all; more than we expected, and more than our target!
Catherine and Debs had already spent a couple of sessions hand-stitching the quilt together, and now that I'm back from Scotland, I'm joining in too. Here's our handiwork:
Here's (rather) a few of my favourites:
One of Debs' beautiful pieces
