The EggBot is a compact, easy to use open-source art robot that can draw on spherical or egg-shaped objects.

Not just eggs but golf balls, light bulbs, mini pumpkins, and even things like wine glasses-- with a bit of work.
Use it to personalize Christmas ornaments or impress your friends with masterpiece Easter eggs. The EggBot is not just a cool gadget; it's also a great introduction to do-it-yourself robotics. All of the electronics and software are designed to be hackable and repurposable, so you could easily computer control an Etch-a-Sketch or create something totally new.
The EggBot software allows you to control the 'bot from within Inkscape-- a superb freeware illustration program -- on Mac, Windows, or Linux computers. You can draw an image directly, trace a photograph, or import designs from other programs. You can also control the EggBot directly from many other programs that have the ability to send serial commands over a USB port.

To do the cool things, you have to be logged in first.
I think we are giving up too much for some picks and Byron. I would like the idea of getting him but, Gerald Henderson is their leading scorer and then they just traded for Ben Gordan. I dont think they want more Shooting Guards. I would look at trading with Anderson Varejao.PORWesely Matthews , Joel Freeland , draft rights to Kostas PapanikolauforCLEAnderson Varejao, Omari Casspi and 2013 first round pickCleveland has AV on the trading block. They are going to get a good Shooting Guard so Dion Waiters can learn and be coming off the bench like he is used to. We get a good back up SF to back up Batum. And a starting Center. Your trade is more realistic though. I doubt Cavs give up their first rounder but stranger things have happened. Your deal is better long term too.

What makes your branded video worth watching? How can you create something that has marketing chops, both as a product of the Visual Web and a social ad? Here are six strategies to help you out.
When Instagram launched its video capabilities this past summer, users hurried to try their hand at creating a 15-second clip on the social networking site. So too did brands: within days, companies like Burberry and Red Vines Candy were uploading their first attempts. The latter created a video that it turned into an ad for use on Facebook and Twitter.
Since then, more than 80 different brands have welcomed Instagram Video into their digital campaigns. So says marketing company Unruly, which last week announced new usage data on the social video marketing technology platform.
Samsung, Nike, Disney, and Red Bull are among the brands generating online buzz, with MTV taking top honors as the "most shared brand." Unruly also found that the Entertainment and Apparel verticals can lay claim to the largest percentage of popular clips, and that 90 percent of Instagram Video shares occur on Facebook.
"Video on Instagram is already working for many brand marketers across the globe," says Richard Kosinski, US President of Unruly, "and I expect short-form video to appear on many more marketing plans over the coming months as brands embrace their role as a newsroom and look to embrace agile marketing." The key, Kosinski says, is to engage, surprise, and entertain. Companies that can do this stand to "amplify their brand across the open Web."
Of course, engaging your online audience is easier said than done. Whether it takes the form of Instagram Video or Twitter's Vine, the social video space is already teeming with offerings from brands. Those that got in at the start benefited from early-adopter buzz, but the short-form videos released from here on in will be held to a higher standard.
What makes your branded video worth watching? How can you create something that has marketing chops, both as a product of the Visual Web and a social ad? What follows are six strategies--with plenty of brand examples--to see you along the way.
1. Be Seasonal
Whether it reflects a holiday or the weather, seasonal content is always popular (count the number of Halloween campaigns referenced in your Twitter feed and you'll see what I mean).
As the purveyor of one of the greatest Halloween television classics of all time, Peanuts (the Charles M. Schulz comic strip turned brand) has plenty of Halloween content to work with. To highlight its seasonal relevance, it has been posting snippets from It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown to its Snoopygrams page, delighting followers and fans.
Apparel brand Topshop underscored its relevance to the holiday by posting a video of a fashion-forward manicure that resulted in "dripping blood" nails. Coke took a slightly different tack by publicly wishing it could "bottle summer" with an Instagram Video posted on September 1st.
2. Serialize Your Content
A single short-form video can get lost in the fray, but create a collection of content based on a single theme and your clips will have impact. Natural beauty care brand Burt's Bees recently created seven Vines based on literary classics like Little Women and Gulliver's Travels, using its "classic" products in the place of the stories' characters. The videos were released through the Burt's Bees Twitter feed over the course of several days and featured a #6SecondClassics hashtag to further promote online shares.
3. Tie In with TV
Dunkin' Donuts has been experimenting with short-form video for some time, but last month it upped the stakes with a complex campaign that paired Vine videos with Monday Night Football. #DunkinReplay features Vines that reenact great recent football plays using hot and ice Dunkin' Donuts coffee and items from the chain's menu. The videos are shared on Twitter, and are also currently making history as the first Vine ads to appear on TV, airing during ESPN's Monday Night Countdown. The brand is a sponsor of the show, and #DunkinReplay represents a way to connect its television audience with its social media presence on the Web.
4. Reference Popular Culture
Videos that prove culturally relevant and timely in their content are more likely to resonate with viewers. MTV is ideally positioned to post Instagram Videos of celebrity gossip in short-form previews for MTV News, but brands that aren't as synonymous with pop culture can do the same. Last month, Sprite created a clever Instagram Video congratulating basketball star LeBron James on his wedding.
And this month, Tide launched a series of Halloween Vines that included a nod to the remake of "Carrie," in theaters now.
5. Showcase Your Product
Online video allows marketers to put their products on display, but most consumers aren't interested in drawn-out infomercials. With short form content, brands are forced to be succinct.
General Electric shot a time-lapse Instagram Video of fan blades being installed on a GE jet engine, and extended its reach by using hashtags like #Technology and #AVgeek. Playstation, meanwhile, used Instagram Video to give fans a sneak peek at the soundtrack for its upcoming PS4 action-adventure game, InFamous Second Son.
6. Reward Your Fans
Social media contests that boost brand exposure and reward customers aren't new, but by using short-form video, brands can make them feel fresh and fun. This past summer retailer Urban Outfitters teamed up with Converse--maker of Chuck Taylor sneakers--for a Vine contest in which participants could win a stay in New York or San Francisco and tickets to a local event. Consumers were asked to create videos featuring their "Chucks," and tag clips with the #yourchucks hashtag.
Dunkin' Donuts launched a Vine contest last spring, this one offering the chance to win Iced Coffee for a year. The brand asked its followers to create a Vine that showed how #iceDD puts "a spring" in their step, rewarding customers while playing up both its product and the current season.
With short-form video in full swing, now's the time to get involved. Be imaginative in your approach to the Visual Web. There's still room for success.

Therefore, in fourth gear, the car with the 2.93 set-up will probably be ahead. If we throw drag radials or slicks into the mix, it would be the other way around.
For us, the overall improvement is enough to call this upgrade worthwhile. As long as the car relies on street-tire traction, it's faster with the 2.93 rear end. The increased speed versus revs also provides better fuel mileage for cruising and a new top speed, given the 7100 rpm cut-off as controlled by the AEM EMS computer. Of course, with this much power and the heavy-duty Ferrea valvetrain we could easily set the EMS to a 7500-rpm rev limiter and do over 190 mph, but that would be unnecessary, if not lunacy.
This month also sees upgrades in the car's cooling systems for both water and oil. Victory Product Design, known for its BMW high performance and racing products, has a trick oil cooler set-up, which, at $650, will save bundles over the European-spec system and is easier to install. It's also good for an average 20 to 25 degrees F in oil temp reduction at the 200-plus F range, and now it's offered with an even larger heat exchanger.
With everything Project M3's got helping the cooling system-including the Fluidyne radiator, hood vents and all the exhaust coating and wrapping-we knew we couldn't go wrong with a heavy duty water pump. EMP Stewart Components has a stock replacement high performance water pump with a stainless steel (and much heavier duty) impeller. The flow is about 20 percent higher for a given pump speed, and the redesigned impeller housing is supposed to reduce cavitation (where water flow exceeds the impeller's flow capacity and potentially damages the impeller blades) at high rpm. Anyone driving a 1991 to 1995 BMW is probably relying on a plastic impeller water pump and there's no telling when those will fail. Owners of cars that see the occasional track weekend or severe summer heat should look into one of these right away. We're curious to see what the improvements of the oil cooler and high-flow water pump will be for us this summer.
Will the Project M3 series ever end? Actually, the car is finished and has been for some time. The project finale will be coming soon.
Rev Limited Reached In Third Gear
At 465 wheel-hp-a slightly above-average power level for turbocharged M3s today-the differential swap proves numerically beneficial on street tires by basically improving traction, bettering the previous set-up by over 24 feet at the finish line. At higher power levels, the 2.93 rear end becomes more beneficial. Next time, we'll try a rip at 20 psi with this set-up and see what happens.
Special thanks to House of Power for the installation of the 3.64 on Lawson's car. Although HOP normally specializes in Mercedes-Benz go-fast tuning, the shop also installed Jon's cam kit and has helped us tremendously behind the scenes with Project M3.

When all alone, quiet, and lost in thought,
I smile for the at attention that I often sought
I see again the times when I was young.
Knowing if I was sad then you would come.
You would dry teardrops that then would flow
A soothing word and I'd forget my woe
You were my bedside nurse on a restless night.
I was consoled that you were not far from my sight.
Your wrath confused me when I misbehaved,
I now see love through your stormy rage.
I never believed that I was ever wrong.
But with your wise words I have grown Oh so strong.
So when I think of you, Mother and friend,
All regrets are over, all sorrows end.

In an attempt to get more fans at games, Metallurg Magnitogorsk of the KHL hired women in lingerie to man the ticket booth.
With no signs of the NHL's labor dispute coming to a close any time soon, BroBible hero Alexander Ovechkin is over in the Motherland playing with the KHL's Dynamo Moscow.
No matter how many times I see a goalie fight, it still just looks ridiculous.
Ah, the old "puck attached to fishing line" trick.
Hockey is a violent game, but usually the brutality is carried out by the players on the ice.
Jon 'Nasty' Mirasty has a rather interesting resume when it comes to hockey outside the NHL.
I played a U19 Russian team once, and all I can say is that they are ruthless: it's like playing a team of Sean Avery's, who all may have appeared as shadowy enemies in at least one Bond movie.

WEDNESDAY, Aug. 11 (HealthDay News) -- Menstrual cramps are
often dismissed as a mere nuisance, but new research suggests the
monthly misery may be altering women's brains.
Researchers in Taiwan used a type of brain scan known as
optimized voxel-based morphometry to analyze the anatomy of the
brains of 32 young women who reported experiencing moderate to
severe menstrual cramps on a regular basis for several years, and
32 young women who did not experience much menstrual pain.
Even when they weren't experiencing pain, women who had reported
having bad cramps had abnormalities in their gray matter (a type of
brain tissue), said study author Dr. Jen-Chuen Hsieh, a professor
of neuroscience at the Institute of Brain Science at National
Yang-Ming University in Taipei, Taiwan.
Those differences included abnormal decreases in volume in
regions of the brain believed to be involved in pain processing,
higher-level sensory processing and emotional regulation, as well
as increases in regions involved in pain modulation and regulation
of endocrine function.
Exactly how the changes in the brain could affect women's
experience of pain is unknown, researchers said. But the brain
abnormalities suggest that menstrual pain may have similarities
with other chronic pain conditions in that over time, repeated
bouts of excruciating aches make the brain unusually sensitive to
pain -- in effect, making the experience of pain worse.
"A long-term bombardment by peripheral pain can elicit plastic changes in the central brain as a reactive adaptation," Hsieh explained. "It can also be a crucial mechanism that perpetuates the 'chronification' of pain" -- that is, a mechanism that can turn pain into a lingering affliction.
The study is published in the September issue of
Menstrual cramps, or pain in the lower abdomen that occurs when
the uterus contracts during menstruation, is the most common
gynecological disorder in women of childbearing age, according to
background information in the article.
Karen J. Berkley, a professor emeritus of neuroscience and
psychology at Florida State University, said menstrual pain is too
often not taken seriously.
"This is one of the first groups to call attention to menstrual cramps, the fact that the condition can have an impact on women's lives, and it's accompanied by changes in brain anatomy and function," Berkley said.
Previously, the Taiwanese team reported that women suffering
from menstrual cramps also have differences in brain activity as
seen by positron emission tomography, another type of brain
"Taken together, those two studies point to the fact that this continual cyclical pain in women is not unimportant," Berkley said. "

There once was a man from Montrass
There once was a man from Montrass,
Who had balls that were made of fine brass.
In stormy weather,
They both clanged together,
And sparks flew out of his ass!
There once was a man from Montrass,
Who had balls that were made of fine brass.
In stormy weather,
They both clanged together,
And sparks flew out of his ass!
A mathematician named Hall
Had a hexahedronical ball
The square of its weight
Times his pecker plus eight
Was two-thirds of three-fifths of fuck-all
I sat by the Duchess at tea
And she asked: "Do you fart when you pee?"
I said with some wit:
"Do you belch when you shit?"
And I felt it was one-up for me.
There was a young Rabbi from peru,
Who was vainly attempting to screw,
His wife said "Oi vey",
If you keep up this way,
The Messiah will come before you do.
There once was a singer named Elton
who had the girls hearts all a'meltin'.
But soon they discovered
he was a man lover;
twas dicks he'd rather be feltin'.
I see by the size of your member
You're as hot as a blazing coal ember!
So slicken that mast -
And hon, make it fast -
This girl's not been poked since December!
There was a young girl of Angina
Who stretched catgut across her vagina.
From the love-making frock
(With the proper sized cock)
Came Toccata and Fugue in D minor.
There once was a young man named Gene
Who invented a screwing machine
Concave and convex
It served either sex
And it played with itself in between.
There was a Young Man from Kent
Whose Rod was so long it bent.
So to save himself trouble
He bent it in double,
And instead of coming, he went!
There once was this girl from Sri Lanka,
A dusky-skinned maid named Bianca.
Each day she would sit
And play with her clit.
She was an incredible wanker!

Kyle called his aunt, and she came bearing a gas can so Kyle could get his car off the road.
They sat in her dining room sipping iced tea, and Kyle's emotions finally broke through his mental dam. He started sobbing, and he couldn't make any words come out.
His aunt looked at him and understood. She'd been there. The rash decisions, the helplessness, the need for understanding. She patted his hand.
"I assume that everything you own is in your car?"
Kyle nodded, still unable to even form the word yes.
"Well, you'll just have to stay here, then."

Conducting event studies on a small stock exchange
AbstractThis paper analyses whether it is possible to perform an event study on a small stock exchange with thinly trade stocks. The main conclusion is that event studies can be performed provided that certain adjustments are made. First, a minimum of 25 events appears necessary to obtain acceptable size and power in statistical tests. Second, trade to trade returns should be used. Third, one should not expect to consistently detect abnormal performance of less than about 1% (or perhaps even 2%), unless the sample contains primarily thickly traded stocks. Fourth, nonparametric tests are generally preferable to parametric tests of abnormal performance. Fifth, researchers should present separate results for thickly and thinly traded stock groups. Finally, when nonnormality, event induced variance, unknown event day, and problems of very thin trading are all considered simultaneously, no one test statistic or type of test statistic dominates the others

Latest news on Old Knobbley's rescue
You may have read in the local newspapers (EADT or Harwich and Manningtree Standard) or seen on the local tv news (Anglia Tonight) that plans are underway to rescue Old Knobbley. From what, you may wonder, does this ancient tree need to be rescued? Well, over-crowding from nearby trees.
Concern over the amount of light and nutrients reaching Old Knobbley was raised at the annual regional forum of Tree Wardens in September 2009. I was asked to give a talk about Old Knobbley (in front of Old K) to the local Tree Wardens. Of course I jumped at the chance and amused the Wardens with stories about Old Knobbley, this website and generally spoke about the importance of old veteran trees like Old K (but everyone knew that of course anyway!). Some local kids enjoyed the attention Old K was getting too.
Picture (thanks Clive): Luckily I am hidden by the gathered Tree Wardens in this image taken at the East Anglian Tree Warden Forum 2009 (I'm behind the the chap with the blue top on (not the guy holding the camera - that's Jon Stokes)).
Fortunately, Councillor Sarah Candy and Clive Dawson (Principle Tree and Landscape Officer) from Tendring District Council, and Jon Stokes (Director of Rural Programmes) and Pauline Buchanan Black (Director General) of the Tree Council were also in the audience. After our discussions, unanimous agreement about the importance of Old K and considerations about how best to keep this old tree alive, when local Tree Warden Ian Rose got together with Clive to come up with a plan, it was gladly heard by the two Councils (Mistley PC and Tendring DC).
Now (fingers, toes and roots crossed) Old Knobbley is getting the attention this great ancient tree deserves and will be properly looked after by Mistley Parish Council. Hooray!! and thank you Ian.
There are some people who think that Old Knobbley should also be cordoned off so that children (and adults) cannot set fire or abuse this veteran tree. But I hope that Old K will continued to be a natural climbing frame for all the young at heart folk for years to come, and that the few fire-starters (twisted fire-starters) grow out of their pyromaniac tendencies without causing harm.

Old Knobbley Wiggles into a catalogue
I first found out about Wiggly Wigglers when I bought my wormery a couple of years ago. By "Wiggly Wigglers", I'm not referring to the worms that arrived in the post (yes by snail mail), but the company that supplied them. They are based in Herefordshire in the UK and they are simply a great company for wildlife gardening products.
The Wiggly team wanted to produce a catalogue with a difference, so asked their customers to send in their thoughts about the Wiggly products. (I should probably point out that Old Knobbley isn't for sale). So, I wrote to say that I was thrilled that the company was selling trees and hedging plants (it was a relatively new edition for them) and that if you have space to plant trees, you should plant lots of them. Perhaps one day they will be as old as Old K!
So there is a small photo of Old Knobbley (and if you look closely, me) in their latest catalogue. Fab.
I have also become a Wiggly Affiliate, which means that if you click through to the Wiggly Wigglers website and buy something, I will get earn some Wiggl-e-cash which will help me to fund this website.

Hidden Trees of Britain showcases some of Britains oldest and most beautiful trees, including Old Knobbley!
It's by Archie Miles (photographer), so you just know the images of trees within the covers are going to be exceptional. Archie contacted me a few months ago. He had visited this website a few years back and was fascinated by the fact that a tree has it's own website. He visited Old Knobbley, took a few photos, one of which is in the book, and wrote an entire page about Old Knobbley.
This is a great book, brilliant pictures and interesting facts about some obscure and hitherto unpublished trees. If you are looking for a present for a tree-loving friend or loved one, look no further.
Archie has written other books including 'Silva: The Tree in Britain' and 'The Trees that made Britain' which was made into a BBC television series.

I'm 6'2, 185 lbs, athletic build and an XL keeps me covered, length and width wise. It's insulation keeps you warm and the lining feels good. The left pocket also has a media pouch for your ipod, zune, phone, whatever. There is a hole which you can run your headphones to your ears within the jacket. The hood in particular is cool, if you zip it all the way up the neck covers your face and the hood your head etc... It gives you that whole ski mask aspect in a hoodie which I personally find awesome about the thing.

Traditional criticism of Ben Jonson's relationship to his audience emphasizes the animosity that Jonson feels towards spectators who are unable to perceive his intentions correctly. Even sympathetic interpretations conclude that Jonson is at odds with his audience and disenchanted with the theatre. In forming this conclusion critics assume that Jonson's personal attitudes concur with the direct address to and sniping at the on-stage and off-stage audiences in his dramas. They find further support by decontextualizing specific instances of Jonson's complaints in his poetry and prose writings as a means to interpret the entire body of his work. This "antitheatricality" has become axiomatic to the majority of Jonsonian criticism since the eighteenth century. In this project, I examine this tradition of criticism to point out the flawed assumptions on which it is based. Informed by the practises of performance theory, I reexamine both Jonson's attitude toward the stage itself as a medium of expression and the nature of his relationship to the audience. Examining Every Man Out of His Humour, The Staple of News and The Magnetic Lady as performances, I find these comedies illustrate neither an antagonism for the audience nor the antitheatricalism of which Jonson has been accused. Instead, they demonstrate a dynamic relationship between auditor and performance, a reliance upon the physical theatre as a site of interpretation and Jonson's commitment to this medium.

Nov. 27, 2012 -- The number of drugs that can be risky when taken with grapefruit is on the rise, largely due to the influx of new medications and chemical formulations, a new study shows.
As it stands, there are now more than 85 drugs that may interact with grapefruit. The number of drugs that may result in potentially fatal side effects when mixed with grapefruit increased from 17 to 43 during the past four years. This equates to more than six new potentially risky drugs a year.
The list includes some statins that lower cholesterol (such as atorvastatin, lovastatin, and simvastatin), some antibiotics, cancer drugs, and heart drugs. Most at risk are older people who use more prescriptions and buy more grapefruit.
Here's what happens: Grapefruit contains furanocoumarins, which block an enzyme that normally breaks down certain medications in the body. When it is left unchecked, medication levels can grow toxic in the body.
It's not just grapefruits, either. Other citrus fruits such as Seville oranges (often used in marmalade), limes, and pomelos also contain the active ingredients (furanocoumarins), but have not been as widely studied.
Researchers searched the medical literature for articles on grapefruit and drug interaction using key terms. They also looked at prescribing information for recently approved drugs in Canada. Their findings appear in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.
Drugs that interact with grapefruit are taken by mouth. The degree of the grapefruit effect can vary. With some drugs, just one serving of grapefruit can make it seem like a person is taking multiple doses of the drug.
This interaction can occur even if grapefruit is eaten many hours before taking the medication. For example, simvastatin, when taken with about a 7-ounce glass of grapefruit juice once a day for three days, produced a 330% greater concentration of the drug compared to taking it with water. This can cause life-threatening muscle damage called rhabdomyolysis.
"Grapefruit and grapefruit products may interact with a broad class of medications ranging from cardiovascular to hormonal drugs," says Tara Narula, MD, the associate director of cardiac care at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. "Some have more of an effect if you take them in close proximity to drinking grapefruit juice than if you space it out, but there can still be an interaction if you take the pill the night before or 12 hours before consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice."
"If you consume grapefruit juice and take medications, be careful," Narula says. "If you need these drugs and there are not appropriate substitutes, you may need to limit or reduce your consumption of grapefruit juice and products."
The researchers note that grapefruit interaction is specific to certain drugs and doesn't necessarily affect an entire drug class. This can allow for grapefruit-friendly options.
Never stop taking prescription medication without first talking to your doctor. "Say, 'I am on these medications, do I need to be careful about grapefruit juice?'"
If you are not taking any drugs that can interact with grapefruit, it is fine to eat and drink grapefruit and grapefruit products, which can be a healthy part of the diet, says Despina Hyde, RD. She is a registered dietitian at New York University Langone Medical Center.
But better safe than sorry. "Double check with your doctor or pharmacist, as it doesn't really require a lot of grapefruit juice to produce a dangerous interaction," she says.

Mathematics professor Eliza Michalopoulou is featured in an ad appearing in the New York Times Education Life section on July 22, 2012. Michalopoulou uses mathematical modeling and signal processing to help the Navy detect submarines in coastal areas. >>
The world's oceans, and mathematics, have a lot to say to Eliza Michalopoulou, PhD, associate professor in the department of mathematics at NJIT. Her work illustrates another of the many ways in which mathematics defends the nation. As a mathematician, Michalopoulou devises algorithms to help U.S. Navy engineers detect submarines in shallow water. From her underwater (also known as acoustical) research, Michalopoulou can determine the location of submarines and whales, the earth's changing climate, even environmental contamination. >>

A market finding process
So, we had a decent hisec connection through our not busy c2a, so I was thinking of bringing in a bunch of ...stuff.
As I was browsing the necessary pieces, I became angry at the massive margins in ... both trade hubs on all the pieces I was about to buy, both over production cost and between buy/sell orders ( basically, buy orders at production cost, sell orders 40-50% above that).
My response was to start plotting how to free up enough capital to buy the necessary BPO's to produce all those pieces myself, and then to produce the same pieces to sell at those margins.
Then I realised that's my market-finding process, and had to laugh.

That's kind of why trading always beats making. If you start producing, say, T2 launchers then of course the margin will come down from 40-50% over cost to something much thinner. If you're entering a market supplied by producers you'll trigger a price war that may even see margins go all the way down to negative. If you're competing with traders however, the traders will stop trading in launchers and find something else that has a 50% margin instead.ReplyDelete
Stabs; not entirely.ReplyDelete
While I agree that trading has advantages over making; in this instance; according to eve central, there were no better of prices my associate's items; yet large markups.
Trading is a good way to move local surplus to remote shortages; providing (and charging) value in doing so.
"Making"/crafting/manufacturing is a good thing to add value where total demand exceeds total supply.
I do the same sometimes... Limited Adaptive Invulnerability Fields for example, I sell those just to keep the douchebags from buying them all up under 50k and reselling for 500k+.ReplyDelete
