iPhone Photography, from Shooting to Storytelling
In this course, Richard Koci Hernandez celebrates the art of iPhoneography—how to shoot, enhance, and share photos with an Apple iPhone. The course covers an actual iPhone photo shoot and includes details on how to select and edit photos using a variety of iOS apps and how to interact with the vibrant iPhone photo community by sharing photos using the popular Instagram app. In a bonus chapter, Koci and a lineup of iPhone photography enthusiasts and journalists meet at the 1197 conference in San Francisco to discuss shooting techniques, photo-enhancement tips, and inspiration in the art of photographic storytelling.
- iPhone shooting techniques and tips
- Using apps to get the look you want
- Combining apps to refine your photos
- Telling a story with images
- Sharing photos on Instagram
- Subject:
- Photography

- What makes the iphone the perfect device right now for creatives, especially photography, it's the camera in your pocket, it's the computer in your pocket, and it's your printing press. You have this with you all of the time. It's really democratized the idea of photography. What I love about the iphone is that has stripped me of all the things, technical things, that I have had to think about or forced myself to think about.
And what this device has done is made me think about the content and the story. What we're gonna do is go on this creative journey and we're gonna start on the streets of L.A. You'll get to see my approach and maybe some of the things that are going on in my head as I shoot. We'll break it down and bring it back into the studio. You'll be able to see some of the apps I use, some of the approaches. You'll be able to see how really critical it is to play around with apps. We'll also talk about how storytelling is one of those tools, one of those skills that if you learn it, it'll help your stories, your images really stick in people's minds.
We'll also talk about how important it is to then share those images that you take. And finally, we'll bring you to the 1197, the very first iphoneography conference, the first of it's kind where all of these iphoneographers met and shared secrets, tips, tricks and ideas. This is my favorite camera. It's also become my box of crayons, a place for me to experiment with my photography, to kind of color outside of the lines.
What I hope to do is share with you some of my tips and tricks of iphone photography.

In many dystopian stories, people call each other citizen. In other contexts too, I'm thinking Citizen Kane for example. Why? What is implied here?

It's backlash against titles of nobility particularly, and the idea that some families or occupations deserve special treatment in general, by giving the exact same title to everyone, regardless of gender, birth, education, or position. I believe you'll find a non-English equivalent was frequently used during the French revolution. "Comrade" is also used, but while both express equality, "Citizen" implies allegiance to country, "Comrade" implies allegiance to party.
It displaces:
and so on, all of which recognize inequality of position.
In a society which wishes to express respect for individual accomplishment but not inheritance, it might be combined with an occupation-linked honorific:
"Citizen" has a long history of being a proud title. Cicero gave voice to this sentiment when he declaimed "Civis Romanus sum" ("I am a citizen of Rome") in his Actiones in Verrem. It is at once patriotic and exclusive; a citizen enjoyed certain rights and protections and was the equal of any other citizen.
We must remember that much of English has been influenced by the classical education given to its ruling class. From the same Wikipedia article:
Spoken normally as a respectful way to address someone, it undergoes a transformation: the dystopian novel adds an ironic element to the title, since the "rights and protections" afforded a citizen are somewhat turned upside down. They become vulnerabilities and liabilities.
Now, there is another meaning to "Citizen" which implies that someone who is grand and rich and lordly may be styled "Citizen" to denote that he is a man of the people. This is, I believe, what Orson Welles meant by calling Charles Foster Kane (the thinly veiled image of William Randolph Hearst, who built a publishing empire and tried to use it to bend the country to his will) "Citizen Kane". This man fancied himself a populist, yet lived in San Simeon, one of the most expensive and lavish estates since Louis XIV's Versailles and the various imperial palaces of the Roman emperors. So the title is used ironically.
It specifically harks back to the French Revolution.
"Comrade" similarly recalls the Soviet era.
In both cases, the society was supposedly much more equitable and fair, but with hindsight is seen as less than perfect.
What that implies to me is that in the fictional world in question, the most important thing to know about someone you otherwise don't know is that they are subject to the same government as you. It implies a preoccupation with the state which we in this reality don't quite have.
For example, when I meet some random person on the street, and wish to address them with a modicum of respect, I will call them "Sir" or "Maam". This is saying that, even though I don't know you, I'm respecting you based on a certain level of maturity I perceive. If you in fact don't act with that level of maturity, you wouldn't be deserving of my respect.
If I were instead to call you "Citizen", what I would be saying is that the respect I give you is only a function of your connection with (and presumably subservience to) the State. The implication here is that those who are citizens of other states, as well as those who may have issues with subjecting themselves to the State's authority, are not in fact worthy of my respect.
(note: By "The State" above, I am of course referring to a supreme governmental authority, not to a particular subunit of government used in the USA)
Regarding Citizen Kane, the title of "Citizen" is used to note that Kane holds no official position of power. He's not an elected politician, yet he wields considerable power as a newspaper magnate.
I think "Citizen" also points to Kane's humble roots and meteoric rise.
Orson Welles's working title for the film was John Citizen USA.
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizen_Kane#Ideas_and_collaboration
Addressing someone as "Citizen" (as opposed to first name, last name, or other title) can imply an emphasis on their service to/position in a possibly-totalitarian state.
This is the use of "Citizen" in the video game Half-Life 2, for example.

Consider a set $X$ and a set $Y$. Once can the define a map from $X$ to $Y$ that assigns to each point in $X$ a point in $Y$. On the other hand, if $F(X,Y)$ denotes the set of all functions from $X$ to $Y$ then one might be able to define a map $F_x$ from $X$ to $F(X,Y$) that assigns to each point of $X$ an element of $F(X,Y)$. For the latter construction, consider as example a finite dimensional inner product space $(V, (.|.))$, dual $V^*$ and the (canonical?) isomorphism that defined by the map $v \mapsto (.|v)$
My question is, does this sort of construction have a name? Is there some higher concept that embodies the concept of "mapping a point to a function" ?
Another illustration of this that occurred to me I thought was worth mentioning is the derivative map. Let $X$ and $Y$ be Banach spaces, let $U$ be open in $X$ and let $f:U \rightarrow Y$. If $f$ is differentiable at a point $x_0$ then $\partial f(x_0)$ is a linear map from $U$ to $Y$. Now, if $f$ is differentiable at all points $x$ in $U$ the derivative map is defined as the map that sends each point $x$ of $U$ to the derivative of $f$ at $x$, that is $$ x \mapsto \partial f(x) $$

Cleaned lines with Glosan (followed directions and flushed with a keg of purified water) and now there is a soapy taste to the beer. Anybody else have this happen? suggestions for how to avoid this are welcome for an alternate cleaner for the lines. Thinking of just switching to Oxyclean, but wonder if that will really clean the gunk in the lines without soaking.
Wow, you've found a cleaner that I've never heard of before. Glo-san, from the one online seller that sells it, it claimed to be like PBW. But I can't find any real MSDS for the product nor any real discussion on it.
I would suggest you throw the Glo-san away. Too sketchy.
I would suggest BLC Beer Line Cleaner. BLC requires a 15 minute soak and then a rinse. There really isn't going to be a cleaner that doesn't require a soak. If there is beer stone present, it requires a soak. We use BLC, it works great no residual taste. You just have to mix properly and rinse.
As to Oxyclean, it's good stuff for a lot of tasks, but is slow to dissolve deposits. The BLC is pretty cheap and basically comes to a few cents per application and is designed for the task at hand.

Very often I will be browsing the internet on my HTC Evo. I constantly come across websites that reference an android application, and provide a QR code of the URL to download the application from the marketplace. Those same sites very rarely provide the actual link to the application in any other form.
I am looking for an android app that will read QR codes that are on the phone itself. Ideally, this application would utilize the "share" functionality of the built in browser in such a way that I merely hold my finger down on an image of a QR code, select "share" from the resulting menu that comes up and select the app to send the image of the QR code to.
Are there any apps out there that do this or come close to the above functionality? If not, I will likely try to built my own, as I believe the QR decoding libraries are freely available. I just don't want to reinvent the wheel.

Kristen Stewart's New Hairstyle: Love It or Hate It?
Kristen Stewart hit L.A. yesterday with a choppy black hairstyle that shouts, "I love rock 'n' roll." And if you think that Kristen's new look makes her a dead ringer for Joan Jett, there's a reason: The Twilight star has just taken on a new gig playing the singer in biopic The Runaways, which is slated to hit theaters in 2010. The style is a far cry from the tousled auburn locks that she sports as Bella — what would Edward say about the new look? Tell us: How do you rate Kristen's rock 'n' roll makeover?

SQL Azure Lessons Learned: Embarcadero

Right click "Save as…"
Database tooling is important for many developers and DBAs as they manage numerous databases across the enterprise and the cloud. In this episode of Azure Lessons Learned I chat with Scott Walz, Sr. Director Product Management at Embarcadero Technologies responsible for the DBArtisan product.
Scott walks us through the DBArtisan product to show how SQL Azure integrates seamlessly into this cross-DBMS product. It was interesting to hear how quickly the effort to add SQL Azure went. I think that bodes well for other tooling in general for SQL Azure. Since SQL Azure is so very close to SQL Server it should be relatively simple for ISVs to add SQL Azure support to products that support SQL Server today.
Scott mentions a trial of DBArtisan for SQL Azure. You can grab that here.

Raymond Chandler on classic detective fiction
Raymond Chandler didnt just write some of the best American detective fiction. He also wrote about the genre and in much the same hard-boiled style of his own Philip Marlowe. He takes no captives, whether he is writing about authors or readers. Show me a man or woman who cannot stand mysteries, wrote Chandler in 1949, and I will show you a fool, a clever foolperhapsbut a fool just the same.As for the authors, he seems particularly to have disliked Agatha Christie, writing of one of her novels that the whole setup for the crime requires such a fluky set of happenings that it could never seem real. Chandler thought that Conan Doyle showed no knowledge whatever of the organization of Scotland Yards men and added that Christie commits the same stupidities in our time. You do not fool the reader, he added, by hiding clues or faking character la Christie.Since I do not want to be accounted a fool I am happy to admit to loving mysteries, to devouring them no less. But I am that supposedly most timid of detective fiction devotees, the lover of the English cozy. If youre not familiar with the term, it refers to the classic English story, most commonly set in some idealized English village, with a cast of characters that must include a vicar, a tweedy spinster, a local landowner and a retired army officer, preferably with military bearing and a suitable mustache. In other words, the setting must be utterly predictable in order that nothing steps in to interfere with the readers attention to the puzzle itself. Agatha Christie, Ngaio Marsh andMargery Allingham were the queens of this sort of story in mid-20th century England, and many others have followed them. Critics and readers have noted that the cozy places murder in the context of a stable, class-conscious English society that was fast disappearing just as the stories themselves were at their most popular. They were essentially an exercise in nostalgia if not a yearning for a putatively better world that lay back beyond the two world wars.
Todays lists of detective fiction, in contrast, are preponderantly evasive of nostalgia or some settled social order. Some are depressingly realistic. In these the detectives usually have the kind of feet of clay that end up in the divorce court and most often must juggle the solving of a crime, itself requiring feats of clinical reasoning, with a life and life-style that suggests they are anything but able to apply the same reasonable standards to the network of personal relationships in their own dysfunctional lives. By God they can solve crimes, but set their own lives in order? I dont think so. The other choice is to set the books in either another time or place, or both. A young, attractive female detective has fled an unhappy relationship to check out life in Beijing, or the sleuth happens to be a monastic herbalist from the thirteenth century or perhaps Sherlock Holmes unjustly neglected second cousin, the greatest detective in late nineteenth century Helsinki.If I dont like these developments, and I dont, must I be classified as pining for the world of St. Mary Mead, where the bicycles have little baskets on the front handlebars, or the old New Scotland Yard, where mysteries are solved over tea and ham sandwiches while the fog swirls around outside? I used to think so, and I am not sure I liked myself for it, but I am happy to report that Raymond Chandler let me off the hook. Writing about the difficulty of introducing love interest into detective fiction, he explains that it is most often a problem because it creates a kind of suspense that is antagonistic and not complementary to the detectives struggle to solve the problem. In other words, its a distraction, and I must say that if the story is set in medieval Venice or Bengal of the Raj, that is also distracting. On the other hand, its not always that it distracts from the puzzle that is important, because not all of us care about solving the puzzle. Like Chandler, I never try. And like Chandler too, I am happy to see myself alongside him in the fourth of his four kinds of readers, the intellectual literate reader who reads mysteries because they are almost the only kind of fiction that does not get too big for its boots. If I want to learn about imperial China or Czarist Russia, I read history. If I want to be entertained, I want tea and crumpets in the library, with just a little spot of blood on the rug. What Chandler says about the detective can be applied analogously to the whole genre: A really good detective never gets married. He would lose his detachment, and this detachment is part of his charm.

I'm very much on the same wavelength. I may guess at the murderer, but only casually. That doesn't matter. The story is the thing, and the characterization. And the writing cannot be bad or clumsy or merely formulaic - that's very important. I must have read something by Chandler, but it didn't leave me wanting to come back for more, as did Agatha Christie, Margery Allingham, P. D. James, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Georges Simenon, from over there, and, from this side of the ocean, Dashiell Hammett, Rex Stout, and Ross Thomas. Good versus evil, suspense, a well-told tale, and characters you care about.
A really good detective never gets married. He would lose his detachment, and this detachment is part of his charm."I may guess at the murderer, but only casually. That doesnt matter. The story is the thing, and the characterization."Two of my favorite mystery/crime writers are Patricia Highsmith (Ripley novels) and Paul Auster.Highsmith inverts the crime novel on its head in that her protagonist is the criminal. He eventually marries, but the wife remains conveniently detached and away almost always. Auster's noves are hard to peg as to genre; his protagonists are often recovering from some terrible loss--so they may have been married, but usually aren't. Part of the charm of his "detectives," is that they are NOT detached, but often think they are.
What did Chandler mean when he said Agatha faked clues? I've always admired her clues-- out in the open for everyone to see -- but not everyone sees that they *are* clues. And that's the difference between Poirot and most of the other "detectives". Spoiler alert: My favorite Agatha clue is the detail about the little screw that was said have fallen out of something or other, and was said to have been found the room near a far wall . Poirot points out that a screw that falls doesn't roll in a straight line away from where it was -- it drops and then moves about on a small circle. (I've forgotten which book it was in.)
I was jonesing for Agatha Christie and started rereading her mysteries a few weeks ago. They are as enjoyable as I remember them, and, now that we have google, I finally learned what a "vegetable marrow" is. Martha Grimes' Inspector Jury mysteries, set in the village of Long Piddleton , might be an "English cozy". Her hero sure meets the "never gets married" criteria; I read through a bunch of the novels, waiting for some resolution in the characters' love lives, it seems they're just permanently un-resolved, though, which I find kind of unsatisfying.
I neglected to include Ellis Peters among my favorite mystery writers. Her settings in twelfth-century England are apparently well researched and, so, even more fun because they're trustworthy. As always, though, it's the stories and the characters that matter most, by far.Jean (6:21 pm), Don't Highsmith's books involve a lot of cruelty and violence? An obsession with graphic violence seems characteristic of much modern stuff. That's a big turnoff for me. (I confess that I like Dashiell Hammett despite the violence. But he doesn't enjoy rubbing his nose in it the way the moderns do. Just a quick description ("My bullet cut the gullet out of him.") and he's off and running with the plot.
A classic cosy series, a Scottish one, is M . C. Beaton's Seamus Macbeth series. Tiny, tiny town, great recurring all too human characters, and usually at least a good plot. Very short, some just novellas. And a detective who is most appealing to the ladies, but can't make up his mind to really pursue the beauteous Priscilla. David-- like you I can't stand the really gory ones. I used to enjoy the Cajun Dave Robichaux series, but it has turned just too brutal. Nobody has mentioned Josephine Tey. She belongs up there with Agatha and Ngaio and P. D. Her detective, inspector Grant, is a very believable Scotland Yard man. Then there were the hundreds of Scotland Yard boOks by John Creasy. They haven't worn too well, apparently.
Thanks, Ann, for reminding us of Josephine Tey. I guess I'd forgotten her because she wrote so few books and it's been so long since I read any. Have just downloaded the first chapter of The Franchise Affair to jog my memory.Selection:
So he sat there, in the lazy atmosphere of a spring evening in a little market town, staring at the last patch of sunlight on his desk (the mahogany desk with the brass inlay that his grandfather had scandalised the family by bringing home from Paris) and thought about going home. In the patch of sunlight was his tea-tray; and it was typical of Blair, Hayward, and Bennet that tea was no affair of a japanned tin tray and a kitchen cup. At 3:50 exactly on every working day Miss Tuff bore into his office a lacquer tray covered with a fair white cloth and bearing a cup of tea in blue-patterned china, and, on a plate to match, two biscuits; petit-beurre Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, digestive Tuesdays and Saturdays.
Surely many of us have read English cozies (if that's the correct plural) for the same reason we read P.G. Wodehouse -- nostalgia, I suppose, even for a world we never knew; to uphold our faith in a world in which, whatever be the complications, justice is done and things sort themselves out; and, at least in the case of PGW, the sheer pleasure of reading one of the great stylists of the twentieth century. No one, however, has mentioned the greatest of the Golden Age of English detective stories: Dorothy Sayers, with her aristocratic sleuth, Lord Peter Wimsey, ex-war hero, who knows almost everything about everything, and his man Bunter, who has all the brain power and accomplishments of Jeeves. Raymond Chandler is operating in a different universe from Marsh, Sayers, Tey, and the rest. An equally valid universe, and no doubt more true to life (whatever that means), but different.
Funny, I never took to Sayers. Couldn't say why. Nor to Marsh. And Allingham could be iffy - as I recall, there's an English darkness in some of her things that's a little offputting.I'm enjoying the Pears, but I find the protagonist (the Italian detective) lightly drawn and not entirely sympathetic. The English husband is much more interesting and believable. Which makes sense, since the author is English.
Oops, that should have been Seamus Macbeth.I couln't stand Peter Wimsey. What a prissy man. Didn't like the Allimgham books either. Here are some more contemporary writers I've liked: Alexander McColl-Smith (about the delightful African lady sleuth -- imternational best sellers), Joan Hess (funny ones about crazy Arkansans), Ian Pears (English, about the art world), the late Ralph McInerny (of N.D.'s philosoPhy dept. ) was one of the best American ones, Ruth Rendell (too dark for me but she writes well). John LeCarre' is in a class by himself.And there's the great ones, The Brothers Karamazov and Hamlet. About Wodehouse-- Graham Greene thought he was one of the greatest writers of the century. He's 10 times greater than Twain.
I didn't know McInerny, Ann, so I downloaded the first chapter of Last Things: A Father Dowling Mystery. The prose in the first paragraph failed the clunkiness test. He was probably a much better philosophy professor than novelist :o)
Double oops == Paul L. reminds me that Macbeth's firt name is "Hamish".Here's another suggestion for those who don't know him, Tony Hilerman. His detectives are native Americans working on the Western reservations. One of the best.
Ann, thanks for mentioning Hillerman, not only for his excellent native detectives, especially Joe Leaphart, but how the landscape and the values of native Americans move the solution to completion.Of late, I really liked Peter Quinn and the Judge Crater case.Crackling good!
In the NYT magazine I think someone said how much he appreciated the TV version of Ner Wolfe that ran for two years in the ealy 2000's _ I'd also like to second that if you can lay hands on the DVDs of that series.
Forget the TV series, Bob. Read the books.
Nero Wolfe was the fat detective with the orchids, right? Didn't get into them much. It helped to imagine Sidney Greenstreet playing the part. Or maybe even George Saunders with a lot of padding. Either could add the right pinch of sinister to the role. Sadly, everyone I want to cast in the movies in my head is long dead. Sigh.

I currently am maintaining my tasks in a google excel sheet. I add tasks to it once I start working on my laptop. But there are other house hold tasks, or the ones which my wife tells me, those I sometimes forget and so they slip through my schedule. What are the various methods being used to gather tasks and then probably schedule or enter them into a single db. I am thinking that the mobile would be the most used / carried gadget so probably that can be my data gatherer? How are you people gathering all the tasks? How do you sync them from multiple sources?
I personally use taskwarrior for organizing my tasks. This means that when I'm not using my laptop I cannot enter new tasks (a list of all pending tasks goes into my dropbox via a report and a cronjob, it is obviously read-only). This means that I face a similar problem like you. My personal solution for adding tasks is to note them down into a small paper notebook and enter them whenever I can use my laptop again.
This works for me, because I carry my laptop almost all the time. You might consider using an app like remember the milk or wunderlist. I do not like to use evernote for task management, because I does not manage metadata like due date and priority (maybe not important for you).
I gather my tasks like so:
I have an android phone. I added the 'tasks' app from 'apps' and put its icon on the home screen (hold and move it to change its place).
For syncing I increasing rely on google apps to sync documents and files, though I don't know of a specific google app for tasks. Of course you could just do a google spreadsheet (it's like excel) and then share it with your wife and then just use this google doc to stay 'in sync' as it gets saved every few seconds. The is the 'internet' equivalent of your current process, if say, you used a a network drive for an excel file.
For 'bigger;' stuff and trips, events, etc, my wife and I use google calendar and we use a shared calendar on it.
I also try and eliminate some of the 'forgettable' tasks in the first place by having a (shared) budget list to remind me of the monthly cash stuff and so that my wife and I can put in equally without frequent questions about it or needing to remind one another. Electronic bill payment so I never forget bills.
The best ubiquitous capture tool I've worked with so far is paper and pen. And not just a single supply of it!
In addition to spending my workday wearing a Tom Bihn Field Journal Notebook (basically a 5.5"x8.5" three-ring binder on a shoulder strap), I keep stacks of scrap paper on both work and home desks, index cards in my briefcase, and small notepads on my nightstand and in a bathroom drawer, with a pen for every paper source.
Paper collects in my desktop inboxes and gets processed into my computer inbox (a top-level page in a Zim notebook) a couple of times a day, along with email.
Now, of course, if I think of or come across something inbox-y while working on the computer (and especially when I'm already working in Zim), I'll put it straight into the computer inbox. But I haven't found any portable devices yet that can take notes as quickly and with as little fuss as paper and pen. No turning it on, waiting for it to boot, dealing with crashes, fighting with syncs, looking for a hotspot or wall outlet, or arguing with the autocorrect.
In social interactions, it also creates less uncertainty in the other party. If someone is giving me information and I pull out a pad and take notes, they're probably thinking "she takes this serious enough to take notes, awesome!", but if I pull out a smartphone and start thumbing away, they might be thinking "is she listening to me or texting someone?".
One last note from a fellow cohabitating productivity person: even for our home stuff, and despite our desks being right next to each other, my partner and I use a lot of email to communicate this sort of thing to each other. It's proven much more efficient than trying to get the other's attention out or whatever project we're working on at the time, communicating verbally, and then hoping the other person wrote it down in sufficient detail. (Okay, that last one is mostly me, but still.) If she doesn't like the idea of email, see if she'd be okay with handwritten notes left in a desktop inbox. (We do some of that, too.)
I use evernote for task capture.
I have the widget on my phone (android), the chrome extension so I can clip emails/websites that have some action associated with it and the desktop app for just quickly adding tasks or ideas for tasks. You can also access it online.
When I sit down and process them I usually end up formatting them into nicer language to make them doable (in line with GTD) and add them to projects or next actions, also on evernote.
And the best thing about it, it's free.
If you're looking for something simple you might like list4.me, it's web app for creating online lists. Pretty easy to use, doesn't require registration and works on all devices that have browser, so iphones/androids as well.
It also supports sharing, you can share the list with your wife, so she can add new household tasks by herself ;)
I use Priority Matrix to capture and organize everything. If I only have time to jot down something and move on, I put it in the 4th quadrant (uncategorized / not important and not urgent), and later I might revise and move it to another quadrant, set a due date, perhaps some tags/icon to easily find it later, etc.
The beauty of capturing everything and then revisiting it is that you can live in the present, being sure that nothing is lost in the ether because you wrote it down.
In the vernacular of Getting Things Done (GTD), Collecting, Organizing, and Processing are three separate steps in handling tasks. (Followed by Do and Review, out of scope for answering this question.)
Collecting is accomplished through "ubiquitous capture", some means of getting any idea you have or task assignment or honey-do into a place where you can later Organize and Process those ideas into your task lists. There are lots of different ways to do that Collecting, the goal is to use as many different ways as you need, but no more, feeding into as many different in boxes as you need, but no more.
What's an in box? In my world, email has an in box, Evernote has a default notebook named InBox, my voicemail has an inbox. And I also have a physical inbox that pieces of paper, magazines, postal mail, sticky notes, and the like can be dropped in.
There are lots of different gadget ways to collect things. Other responders have mentioned quite a few that may be worth looking into. One of my favorites is the astonishing low-tech pocket memo pad. With a pad like this http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/764426/Office-Depot-Brand-Wirebound-Top-Opening/ and a small pen like this http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/224720/Pilot-G-2-Mini-Retractable-Gel/ in my pocket, I'm prepared to take notes anywhere and any time. rip off the page and drop it in the in box, and next time I sit down to Organize and Process, everything in the in box gets into my lists.
I would use a mobile time tracking app that allows you to clock in and out of tasks from your phone and has automatic reminders set to notify you of certain tasks. This will not only help remind you what you need to do but allow you to evaluate where you are spending your time and possibly how to become more efficient or better at projecting what you can realistically commit to or expect to accomplish on any given day or week.
If you have a webserver then MyTinyTodo is a solid piece of open source software that allows you to set up a website to collect to do items, prioritize them, and/or organize by due date. It is pretty simple to set up -- unzip in a web server directory and run the setup script. SQLite is an option so there is no need for a separate database. Works great, costs nothing. There is also a flag to get it formatted for mobile (add "/?pda" to the end of the URL).
I started using MyTinyTodo for my company, a services business with three people (we share one to see who is working on what, and when things are due); then I set up another one for myself personally; then one up for my wife, one for my mom . . . and then I decided to set up a site so people without a webserver can get an instance without asking me.
So if you don't have your own webserver or just want to check it out before installing, you can get an instance at nanotodo.com. Disclaimer: I set up and run nanotodo.com.

Red Zone Special: Torrington Red Raiders
Ever since Gaitan Rodriguez was appointed as the head football coach at Torrington High in mid-March, the ex-Red Raiders' star has been toying with ideas, assembling a coaching staff and putting his own stamp on the program.
Rodriguez succeeds Dan Dunaj, who compiled a 30-21 overall record in five seasons, including a 6-4 mark in 2012.
At 35, this is Rodriguez's first head coaching experience after being an assistant at Torrington (1999-2005) and at Sheehan of Wallingford (2006-12) and he believes he is as prepared as he can be.
"It's going great," said Rodriguez earlier week. "Things are falling into place and we are moving forward."
Instead of conducting spring practice, Rodriguez chose to add four days of preseason, beginning on Wednesday, Aug. 14, in order to give him more time to acclimate himself.
As of now, he has 48 on the varsity roster and is expecting an incoming freshmen class of at least 22 after eighth-graders who will be entering high school in the fall.
The Red Raiders will have a youthful squad with only nine seniors, They consist of two-way linemen Hunter Ashner, Joe Kenney and Alex Rintharmy and Ernie Tracy, receiver-outside linebacker Mat Hoxie, wide receiver-defensive backs David Kisiel and Desmond Langs, linebacker Damian LaJoie and running back-Davon Thomas.
"Everyone has their chance to prove their commitment," said Rodriguez, who has been encouraged by the numbers showing up at the weight room during regular sessions.
Between 15 and 20 players will attend the University of New Haven summer camp later this month.
When the team hits the field in mid-August, Rodriguez is going to keep a close eye on basic fundamentals. That's what made him a 1997 All-Valley League selection. He later played at Springfield College.
"I'm a firm believer in coaching every detail," he said. "For me, it's not so much about specific plays. I'll be harping on every tackle, blocking technique and receiving the ball. We'll emphasize on protecting the ball and causing turnovers on defensively."
A social worker in the Waterbury school system, Rodriguez will have a members of his staff conduct a daily study hall until he arrives at the school.
"My hope is to install a system to get the kids to learn accountability and to help them to improve their grades," he said. "I'm a firm believer that when you do things the right way outside of the field, it will translate on the field. I'm hopeful of it trickling on down from class to class. I will spending a lot of time with the incoming freshmen."

Sorry to ask about three issues in one question, but for all I know they are related.
I have a desktop running 11.10, I upgraded it from 11.04 (I think) a while ago, but haven't used it seriously until now, and it seems to be pretty broken.
Firstly, if I try and edit software sources in Synaptic, I get a message saying 'The repository information has changed. You have to click on the "Reload" button for your changes to take effect'. Reloading doesn't help (the message just appears again, and I can never get to the software sources menu), but
apt-get update doesn't report any problems, and I can still update and install software.
Secondly, I have an ATI Radeon HD 5800 GPU, and Ubuntu doesn't seem to think the driver is installed. System Info says 'Graphics VESA: CYPRESS', and the Additional Drivers dialogue offers the FGLRX driver and post-release updates FGLRX driver, saying neither is activated (I definitely had the driver working at some point, probably before I upgraded). If I try and activate the FGLRX driver, the installation process seems to work, but after I restart nothing has changed [EDIT: actually, something does change - Additional Drivers now thinks this driver is installed, but System Info still says vesa]. If I activate the post-release updates version, I get a message saying 'Sorry, the installation of this driver failed. Please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log'. However,
sudo apt-get install fglrx-updates fglrx-amdcccle-updates tells me that both are already installed, and the Catalyst Control Center seems to work correctly. Also, Unity 3D does seem to be working (at least I get the 3D version of the dash bar). I'm guessing this problem could be because of the issue with software sources?
Finally, the Unity plugin seems to be missing from the CompizConfig Settings Manager, though I suppose this could be because of the weirdness with the graphics drivers?
Is there likely to be a way of fixing all this, or should I just reinstall Ubuntu (I haven't had good experiences with distribution upgrades in the past)?

Alright, I am pretty happy about my latest purchase!
I just bought the expodisc 77mm for a very easy solution to white balancing the shot.
Just curious if anyone else has got one and what their experience has been?
Alright, I am pretty happy about my latest purchase!
I just bought the expodisc 77mm for a very easy solution to white balancing the shot.
Just curious if anyone else has got one and what their experience has been?
I suppose you have bought the normal one, not the bit softer one for portraits.
I like to use it in tricky light conditions, indoors with normal lamps, halogen spots, a lot of windows, daylight reflections in mirrors, all together. This is something we do not like.
Some points we have to think about using the expodisc:
- the camera needs the ability to take a "Pre" set of the white balance like D300s, D3 for example.
- buy the disk for the biggest diameter of all the lenses you own, it will click to the biggest lens without the need to hold it. But you can use it for all smaller lenses by holding it manually. You do not have to buy one for each lens. Costs you
a fortune - around 100 each.
- Taking the "Pre" with a 16mm nikkor with the lens hood, or other fisheye lenses with big curvature of the front lens, it will be tricky to close all the gaps in between the lens hood and the disk. You have to train to close the gaps by hand,
which is possible, or you take an extra shot in the beginning with a normal lens with a GPS instead of the remote control on top of you camera.
- Next important thing is you have to take your "Pre" from the position you are shooting to. You want to use the situation of incoming information at the position of the flower pot you are shooting to, not the position you are shooting the
- Next question, I am shooting around, where do I take the "Pre"? A lot of threads about this theme on different forums.
Anyway, I always take it with me in my box, in case...
I adore the set up from expodisc compared to fixed WB's of the camera. Even to a "Pre" with and without Expodisc.
I think we might get a lot of answers from "purists". This is not the workflow for Pro's to step to professional printing. Then you have to use white and grey cards, in extreme situations on every single shot of your pano when the situation is very complicated, I like to use ColorChecker Passport from X-Rite. Just an extra shot for pure situation.
If you like to get a deeper knowledge about your nice expodisc, take your time to shoot in different situations using your camera's WB presets, with and without expos disc. And the Cameras own "Pre".
I have done this. I feel happier with a pic without this bloody cold blue of Tungsten in one part of a pano and expodisc is adding some "warm light" as well which is around.
Sorry this is a bit longer,
But I feel it's worth the time to avoid mistakes.
I have never been that bothered about the white balance in camera.
I tend to set it as I process the raw files.
In mixed light there is no correct setting... Just the one you prefer.
Much the same is true between the shadow areas, lit by the sky, and strong sunlight.
Excellent advice and tips! Thank you That is why I wanted to bring this up.
I did go with the bigger expodisc 77mm to fit all my lenses and have found that with indoor wacky lighting as mentioned it works very well.
For me and my workflow I am pleased! Thanks again for the detailed thoughts and experience!! This forum is really great.

Follow the sound of the bagpipes! On 25th May 2013, the capital city of Jakarta will come alive with all kinds of Scottish festivities as the 34th Annual Jakarta Highland Gathering gets underway.
Held at the Imperial Klub Golf, Lippo Karawaci, the Jakarta Highland Gathering (JHG) is an annual event that combines traditional Scottish Highland Games with great family fun. Among others, the festival will feature over 50 pipers and drummers, the fantastic Australian Axemen, the Scottish "Heavies" who toss the caber, dancers from all over the world, all day music performances, over 30 great restaurants, a whole kid's play area, a teen adventure area, and one of the best firework displays in Jakarta.
In the sporting section, the festival presents various competitions including football, rugby, and volleyball. Visitors can also participate in the exciting game of Tug O' War and watch the fascinating actions of weight throw, stone put, hammer throw, and Woodchoppers.
This year, the gathering will also feature a special performance from Lisa Soul, a young talented Indonesian singer who can play various musical genres such as soul, pop, jazz, blues, and Gospel. As a special addition this year the gathering will also be highlighted with a parade of Harley-Davidson motorcycles which will also mark the opening of the event.
The gathering will be preceded with The Highland Gathering Golf on 23rd May and The JHG Reception and Scotland in Concert on 24th May, while the Kid's Charity Day will follow the Gathering Day on 26th May.
Jakarta Highland Gathering has been the most attended community event that is purely organized for charitable purposes. Last year, the Jakarta Highland Gathering saw almost 6,000 people through the gate, making it the largest Highland Gathering in the Southern Hemisphere. This unique event is not only a great celebration of Scottish culture, tradition and sports, but also a fantastic day out for the family, and a chance for all Jakartans, whether Indonesian or foreigners, tourists and residents to get together for a really different experience.

The town of Shingo in Japan claims to be the burial site of Jesus of Nazareth: someone took his place on the cross, and he made his way to Japan, where he died. (Wikipedia.) Do, or did, any denominations of Christianity believe this, and which?

The Kakure Kirishitan literally Hidden Christians were a sect of Japanese believers who received the Gospel in the 1600s, but after foreigners were expelled and went underground. In the 200 years or so following, they developed many peculiar to syncretic to downright heretical ideas about Christianity, mainly based on passed down traditions that had become corrupted over time. What characterized their worship, for example, was a Buddhist sounding chant using Latin-sounding version of the Lord's Prayer and the Hail Mary.
That said, two points are in order:
In short, if Jesus' bones have any resting place, the whole thing falls apart.
As such, its really hard to call any sect that denies the resurrection Christian.*
* I know we're not supposed to answer "are X Christians" or not—I'm not trying to say this of any group—only an essential doctrine that is a clear dividing line between Christian and other.

Attorneys: Girls learned lesson
May 3, 2013
STEUBENVILLE — Attorneys representing two girls who were accused of sending threatening tweets to a 16-year-old Weirton rape victim said Wednesday their clients "learned a valuable lesson....
H3ll yes the defense attorney would say its a fair sentence.
He was just shy of getting them off completely.
How did two teens not know that threatening someone's life was a crime?
And after all the holabaloo over social media in the rape case; they used it again.
Now four other kids are involved. Sounds like wrist slapping isn't enough to me.
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
They say the girls learned their lesson afte their slap on the wrist. I say that time will really tell if they learned anything. Meanwhile, I hope they are not allowed to attend the same school as the victim. She should not have to endure any stress or tension because these 2 idiot girls are hanging around. Home school the girls and let their mother put up with their beligerance. After all, it is the parents who raised them and taught them what they know or don't know as in this case.

In Matthew 24:28 and Luke 17:37, Jesus uses the phrase "Where there is a dead body, there the vultures will gather." Was Jesus speaking in a parable? Idiom? How has this phrase been interpreted?

This one line "Where there is a dead body, there the vultures will gather." is an idiom.
This would be the equivalent of saying, "Where there's smoke, there's fire."
Long answer:
Where, Lord?
This very much is a reference to what we call the "rapture". This is the "gathering up" of people that Jesus will perform in the last days. Just before this he talks about how the world is turning evil and then he says that he will come back and gather his people. This is definitely what we modernly call the "rapture".
Jesus replies
"That should be pretty obvious to you."
Jesus was saying that his kingdom was coming, the world was about to end, he was about to gather his people. The disciples ask a stupid question: "Where will you gather them?" Jesus doesn't even bother giving a straight answer because the answer is obvious: He's gathering them to heaven to be with him forever.
Why use this phrase?
The entire speech is about the Kingdom of God. So when they ask, "Where will they be gathered." He just replies in parables, since he's already made it obvious.
The Matthew text
Clearly, Jesus isn't talking about literal vultures. Neither is he attempting to use vultures and corpses to explain difficult concepts. This passage (and the clear break from the earlier concepts being described) clearly show that this is a idiomatic saying.
This phrase about vultures and a dead body is just Jesus way of saying, "Hey, it should be obvious". He's not trying to imply anything with vultures or dead bodies. Just like the phrase "Where there's smoke there's fire" today does not imply smoke, fire, or anything related to smoke or fire.
From The Message:
Jesus is not speaking in a parable, but rather is using an analogy to explain to his followers that when he comes, he will show up so quickly that people won't have time to gather in crowds. People won't have time to get together and discuss it or analyze the situation; this kind of behavior can be compared to vultures who pick apart what they find...
Also, when Jesus returns, everyone, all over the earth, will see him at the same time, he won't be confined to one place or location...Jesus Christ will be seen everywhere simultaneously, thus people won't be able to pinpoint Jesus to one physical location, because if you see "vultures" circling, it is not Jesus because he won't show up in one place.
My dad told me that according to the (partial) preterists (those who emphasize that the first or primary fulfillment of many of the New Testament prophecies occurred in or before the destruction of Jerusalem, A.D. 70.), eagle is a reference to the Romans, who had the eagle as their banner. If you compare the parallel passage in Matthew 24:28, you will see that the context of the passage there is that Jesus has prophesied the destruction of the Temple, and his disciples have asked when it will occur (verses 1-3). This would indicate that the phrase has reference to the destruction of Jerusalem.
I thought that my dad got this from Kenneth Gentry, who wrote Before Jerusalem Fell. This source says that Gentry writes about this in his book Perilous Times: A Study in Eschatological Evil, 74–75, and it quotes him on it. (Disclaimer: I have not read Gentry myself, nor that other source; I found it on Google since I thought my dad got it from Gentry.)
The linguistic concept of semantic domains may apply here. Though in a translation you have to arbitrate between the two meanings, in the exegesis you don't necessarily. In Greek there may not have been a conceptual distinction between eagle and vulture, and thus it could reference the Romans and yet be consistent with the normal interpretation of the carcass metaphor. Examples of this can be found in other languages: some, for example, do not have a word for bird, only songbird, hawk, waterbird, owl, etc—all separate words. And as Jon Ericson pointed out, the author could have used a deliberately equivocal word.
The ISV translated 'vulture' as 'eagle'.
The eagle is the Holy Ghost.
Using Remez of 'flutter' we determine that the eagle is the Spirit of God. Using it again for 'eagle', it is the Holy Spirit which took the spirit of Christ from the cross, bearing him on 'her' wings.
The Spirit is referred to as feminine not because of gender. This is the same use of the feminine as the old female donkey that led Jesus on the colt into Jerusalem. It refers to not seeing clearly. As Paul said "the woman was deceived'. The old prophets/donkey didn't see Christ clearly. the young colt, being John the Baptist knew who Jesus was. The Holy Spirit is referred to in the feminine because he did not know the 'day or hour':

In a 2009 report, the Mass. DEP estimated a potential savings of $4 million to $7 million annually to state municipalities by expanding the bottle bill. New York, Connecticut and Maine already have expanded bottle laws.
But in Massachusetts, we still send 30,000 tons, some one billion containers, of bottles to landfills and incinerators each year.
The potential savings is real. The containers which would be affected make up 5.4 percent of the waste stream by weight, and 15.2 percent by volume, according to recent estimates.
Aside from finance, there is another concern of much greater importance: Where will the trash go?
Landfills in the state are filling up, and there is a moratorium on new incinerators. Both are undesirables.
Where will the trash go?

it is there any way to run a domain on my router instead of running dyndns or other alternatives (Dynamic DNS) etc. on tomato or dd-wrt firmware ?
DNSMasq & /etc/hosts
Take a look at these instructions from the dd-wrt website. The article is titled: DNSMasq Local Network. This method makes use of the routers
There is also this method discussed in this howtogeek.com article titled: How To Access Your Machines Using DNS Names with DD-WRT. With this method you're using the dd-wrt router's DHCP service to do 2 things for you.
One, it will force all the systems that lease IP's from it, to get your LAN's domain name. Second, you can use the router's DHCP server to act as your DNS server as well by adding all the hosts in your LAN to the DHCP table.
You're using DHCP, but you're using it to statically assign IP's to the same hosts whenever they join the domain.
Which method?
Either method will do what you want.If I were you and you have a small domain, I'd go with the DHCP route first.

I am studying for my next midterm for formal languages and finite state machines.
I am stuck with this problem.
Determine whether this language is context free or not.
The language is : $$ L = \{ a^n b^j | n \leq j^2 \} $$
I tried designing a PDA for it but to no avail because I cant keep track of when j exceed square root of n using the stack.
So my assumption is that it is not context free.
However, I am not that good with the pumping lemma.
This is what I tried:
Assume L is context free.
Let $ w=a^mb^m $ with w in L.
By the pumping lemma w can be decomposed as
w = uvxyz with |vxy| <= m and |vy|>=1 such that $uv^ixy^iz$ is in L with i>=0
case 1
aa...a ab...b
uvxy z
Now, I have a problem I don't know how to chose i so the resulting string is not in L. Any help would be appreciated.

hi all....i wanted to know wat is a string(other than being a array of characters,define it in some other way)......then why do we put '\0' at the end of string.....and are there diff types of strings.....
Regarding strings
myString [] = "This is a string".
The string class available in C++ is another thing entirely.
hey thanks...but i wanted to know tat do we have diffreent types of strings in C itself for example like we have *file pointers* nd *function pointers*....
A C string is a C string. There is only one kind of 'string', and that is composed of chars. You might say, "I have a long string of integers", and that would be a perfectly good English statement. However, the use of the word "string" does not imply a C entity, merely a verbal communication. You're trying to complicate something that's simple.

Is it possible to force someone to unfollow you on Twitter? Use-case: I want to follow my ex-girlfriend, but I don't want her to follow me. If I block her, I guess I can't see her tweets. Also, I would rather not use any 3rd party tools like follow her on RSS and block her.
You could block her, which I think will remove her from your followers list. Then you could unblock her. Of course, at that point she can follow you again, but it seems only fair that if you can follow her tweets, she can follow you.
No you cannot. Twitter is an application for sharing. She has a right to follow anyone she wants if the person allows them to. Blocking is the only way to technically prevent her from following you.
Here is a suggestion of what you can do instead.
You can change your settings to protect your tweets
Then add her to a list. Allowing for a quick link to her profile.
You can be sneaky about this - create a new twitter account to follow her, then block her on your main account.
It's not possible to control who follows you outside of the block tool.

"The festival has become Franklin Parish's premier event," said Paul Price Jr., festival director "The festival board of directors works hard to keep the festival as a family-friendly event, a place where young and old alike can find something they can enjoy, and a place where parents can bring their children to enjoy a spring day in a festival atmosphere."
Cajun music star Jo-EL Sonnier highlights this year's event and Christian artist Jason Crabb will also be featured. LC Smoove and the Cadillac Kings will perform as well.
There will be a gamer's paradise, a free video game arcade with 25 screens, a quilt show in the Library Learning Center and the annual flower show at the Old Post Office Museum. The flower show will be held in conjunction with an exhibit of "Blue Dog" art by legendary Louisiana artist George Rodrigue.
A children's petting zoo, a children's play area and "walk-around" magician and juggler acts, face painters, artists and a free obstacle course sponsored by the Louisiana National Guard are other activities for the day.
Admission is $5 per person and all funds raised after meeting festival expenses are used for community projects including park upgrades in Franklin Parish, college scholarships for outstanding local students and sponsorship of various activities throughout the parish.

Let $G = (V,E)$ be a graph with $V = \{1, \dots , n\}$. Consider the function $f : V \to V$ defined by $$f(v) = \min\{u\mid u \in V, d_G(v, u) \leq 2\}$$ Prove that if there are $vw \in E(G)$ such that $f(v) \neq f(w)$ then $G$ contains the graph $P_4$ as an induced subgraph
Prove that if there are $vw ∈ E(G)$ such that $f(v) \neq f(w)$ then $G$ contains the graph $P_4$ as an induced subgraph
Suppose that $vw\in E$ is such that $f(v)\ne f(w)$. Since $x\ne y$, we may assume without loss of generality that $x<y$.
Now $d_G(v,w)=1\le 2$, so $x\le w$ and $y\le v$. Moreover, $d_G(w,w)=0\le 2$, so $y\le w$. Since $x<y$, it follows that $x\ne v$ and $x\ne w$. Suppose that $d_G(x,v)=1$; then the edges $xv$ and $vw$ are a path of length $2$ from $x$ to $w$, so $d_G(x,w)\le 2$, and therefore $y\le x<y$, which is absurd. Thus, $d_G(x,v)=2$, and there is a vertex $z$ distinct from $x$ and $v$ such that $xz,zv\in E$. To show that the vertices $x,z,v,w$ and the edges $xz,zv,vw$ are a $P_4$, you need only show that $w\notin\{x,z,v\}$. We already know that $w\ne x$ and $w\ne v$, so you really need only show that $w\ne z$.
HINT: If $w=z$, then $d_G(x,w)\le 2$.
Assume $f(v)<f(w)$. If this is not true, swap the labels for $v$ and $w$.
Claim: $G$ has an induced subgraph as depicted below:
If $\mathrm{dist}(v,f(v))<2$, or there are any other edges induced by the above subgraph, then $f(w) \leq f(v)$, giving a contradiction.

thank you for great autocomplete features in Java / JavaScript.
Here is the small problem what I have found when java class autocomplete for method is performed:
Let's assume we have method like:
public void method1(float i, long l, short z, String s) {}
Autocomplete offers parameter names like:
obj.method1(i, l, arg0, z) {}
I guess it is caused by long or double type in parameter types.
Possible fix for that in Code.java in package org.fife.rsta.ac.java.classreader.attributes :
- Code: Select all
@@ -264,7 +264,7 @@
// Non-static methods have implicit "this" variable passed in,
// so we must avoid that
int index = in.readUnsignedShort();
- int adjustedIndex = isStatic ? index : index-1;
\ No newline at end of file
+ int adjustedIndex = isStatic ? i : i-1;
\ No newline at end of file
if (adjustedIndex>=0 && adjustedIndex<paramNames.length) {
String name = cf.getUtf8ValueFromConstantPool(nameIndex);
I am not sure if it is 100% correct but at least it fixes problem mentioned above.

The Birmingham Tolkien Group
J. R. R. Tolkien, author of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, is one of Birmingham's most famous authors.
The Birmingham Tolkien Group is working to promote the connection of Tolkien with Birmingham.
J. R. R. Tolkien's family and parents came from Birmingham. He himself grew up in Sarehole, Moseley, King's Heath and Edgbaston in the years leading up to the First World War. He said that the beauty of the countryside there had a profound effect on him.
The landscape of the Shire, in The Hobbit and in The Lord of the Rings, was based on Sarehole Mill and on the farmland around - now the Shire Country Park. The hobbits, he thought, were like the people he met then, with greater gifts of courage than imagination. Tolkien left Birmingham when he was nineteen, but returned often to visit friends and relatives. Later in life he described both Birmingham and Oxford as his 'home-town'.
Many people visit Birmingham because of their interest in Tolkien. Every year since May 2000 there has been a Weekend at Sarehole celebrating Tolkien's life and work. Those who come are from the local community, from the UK, and worldwide; for example in the last couple of years from Poland, Germany, the USA, Canada and Australia - usually about 10,000 visitors over the Saturday and Sunday. Comments overheard during the Weekend:
Mummy, can we come early next year? and It's been the best day of my life.
- To celebrate Tolkien's connection with Birmingham in his youth.
- To contribute to the positive image of Birmingham by promoting this to a wider audience.
- To develop a Tolkien Centre giving a focal point to Tolkien and his work, answering a need often expressed by visitors.
This would enable Birmingham to benefit as a city by developing a comprehensive package of activities for residents and visitors alike.

We're making a game for kids which should include about 50 spoken phrases. I'm asking for help in finding the right voice artist / studio for this.

So I'm looking for references from those of you who had a successful collaboration with artists or studios. Any help would be appreciated.

Read more about reopening questions here.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
It's just an idea. I haven't tested it. But isn't it possible to simply record it and edit the record using some filters/effects to make it sound like you want? Tools like Audacity or GarageBand might be a point to start.
I think that the main trick is to have a soft low voice, so try to pull down the pitch of the recording with one of those tools. And when recording, try to speak slowly.
As I already said, that is what I should give a try. Not sure if the results will be good. Good luck!

For the longest time I've been hearing the word ダイヤ and just always assumed it meant "Diamond", but found recently it all means "train schedule". My question is, what word/language did this word originally come from?

Original word is from "Diagram" ダイヤグラム, which is a 外来語.
When used in relation to public transportation, ダイヤ means a diagram showing the schedule, or the schedule itself. It is used not only for trains but also for buses, planes, and so on. For example, the schedule of planes can be called as [飛行機]{ひこうき}のダイヤ, [航空便]{こうくうびん}のダイヤ or [空]{そら}のダイヤ.

A bill before the Kansas Legislature would change a state law that allows citizens to convene grand juries.
Supporters say the current law is ineffective because prosecutors manipulate the grand juries to stop citizen complaints.
Opponents say changing the law would politicize the grand juries.
The Kansas City Star reports the citizen grand jury was designed to let citizens pursue wrongdoing overlooked by prosecutors. But prosecutors control which witnesses are called.
One of the proposed changes would require the person filing a petition to be the first to address the grand jury. Currently, no witnesses have to be called. Another change would allow anybody to file a written request with prosecutors or the grand jury foreman to testify before the grand jury.

Update on HRSA/HAB Performance Measures Portfolio
Update on HRSA/HAB Performance Measures Portfolio
Event Date: Tuesday, June 25, 2013 - 12:00pm to 1:00pm EDT
HRSA's HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB) is revising its portfolio of performance measures. The goal is to create a performance measure portfolio that: 1) emphasizes priorities; 2) aligns with other federal measures programs; and 3) is efficient and cost effective. Two sessions are planned where HRSA/HAB staff will present the proposed reforms and feedback process. Each session will contain the same presentation. Thus, it is recommended to attend just one session.
- June 20, 2:00 - 3:00 pm ET
- June 25, 12:00 – 1:00 pm ET
The conference line is the same for both sessions.
- Conference line phone number: 888-810-9640

I'm using Anki, a flashcard learning tool, for learning Japanese vocabulary. Of course, this includes words with kanji. For these I need to know both the reading and the meaning. Now I'm wondering what the better note layout for recognition is:
- One card with the word without readings on the front and the readings on the back and one card with the readings on the front and the meaning on the back, or
- One single card with the word without readings on the front asking for both reading and meaning.
The former has the advantage that it separates meanings and readings which are separate things to learn, I think. On the other hand the latter results in fewer cards and seems more elegant. Besides I do automatically think of reading and meaning at the same time.
So far I have only used a single card. Do you have any further arguments or experience for/with either approach?
