First of all, thank you for all the comments on my last post. I've had a lot of feelings lately about expanding our family one day and it's nice to have a place to share them. Oh life, why can't you be easy sometimes?
If you follow me on Snapchat you know that Riley loves his wooden spoon. You also know that basically all I Snap is videos and pictures of Riley (SURPRISE! No, not even a surprise at all).
But back to the spoon. It's hilarious.
It started because he wanted to mix like I was mixing in the kitchen. And he would use the spoon to mix all of the time. But now, now he just likes to carry it around. And bring it along on walks and in the car. And he likes to swing it around and hit things or chew on it when he's teething.
Riley has yet to get attached to any specific stuffed animal or blanket or anything, which is fine by me. He has some in his crib but he's pretty indifferent to all of them.
But the spoon, the spoon is his pal.
And the moral of the story is that kids are delightful in their weird little ways.
And I also hope that my child always stays this weird and adorable.My Crazy Life

The Ford Mustang turns 50 years old this year, and this is the logo that will announce the milestone occasion on a special line of merchandise. The graphic is the result of an internal design competition, and Ford will give 50 different companies the license to use it on traditional logo merchandise like shirts and watches, along with some untraditional items like pinball machines.

eBay Motors reveals where it sells the most cars and which brands are the most popular

Ford watching Europe's reaction to Mustang in new ads

Ford doesn't sell its Mustang in Europe, but that hasn't stopped fans from the UK to Poland from figuring out ways to procure one. The Mustang is playing a part in Ford's "Go Further" ad campaign – which showcases the global portfolio and is aimed at changing perceptions by being discreet with Ford branding – and that gets air time in Europe.

My question is, what does "fixed" mean here? Does this mean that all vectors in this space have the same inner product? I appreciate if someone can help. Thanks!

text: Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player. Bio-Reference Laboratories One potential earnings short-squeeze play in the medical laboratories and research complex is Bio-Reference Laboratories ( BRLI), set to release numbers Thursday before the market open. This company is engaged in providing laboratory-testing services to customers in the greater New York metropolitan area, as well as to customers in other states. Wall Street analysts, on average, expect Bio-Reference Laboratories to report revenue of $161.48 million on earnings of 32 cents per share. The current short interest as a percentage of the float for Bio-Reference Laboratories is extremely high at 22.6%. That means that out of the 24.57 million shares in the tradable float, 5.56 million shares are sold short by the bears. The bears have also been increasing their bets from the last reporting period by 4.4%, or by about 234,000 shares. This is a large short-interest on a stock with a very small float. If Bio-Reference Laboratories beats earnings and raises forward guidance, then this stock could explode to the upside post-earnings. From a technical perspective, BRLI is currently trading below its 50-day moving average and above its 200-day moving average, which is neutral trendwise. During the last three months, BRLI has been downtrending from a high of $24.48 to a recent low of $18.29 a share. During that move lower, shares of BRLI have consistently made lower highs and lower lows, which is bearish technical price action. That said, BRLI could be ready to reverse that trend if it can return to a chart pattern of higher highs and higher lows post-earnings. If you're in the bull camp on BRLI, then I would wait until after they report and look for long-biased trades if this stock can manage to move back above its 50-day moving average of $21.73, and then above some near-term overhead resistance at $22.51 a share with high-volume. Look for volume on that move that registers near or above its three-month average action of 200,945 shares. If we get that action, then the bulls could push BRLI back up towards $23 to $24.50 a share or higher post-earnings. I would avoid BRLI or look for short-biased trades if the stock fails to maintain a trend above its 50-day at $21.73 and then drops below some major near-term support at $18.29 a share with high volume. If we get that move, then look for BRLI to trend down toward $16 to $15.50 a share or lower if the bears spark a selloff post-earnings. Prev 3 of 6 Next

I'm a software engineer with experience in C++, C#, PHP, JavaScript, Perl, and Ruby. I focus primarily on architecting systems and applications for the management of large-scale wireless networks.
I tend to get as involved as possible with my computers, thus I enjoy Linux and my favorite programming language, C++, because of their low-level and robust attitude. I love tinkering with Apple's iOS, and I enjoy the jailbreaking world.
My hobbies include Magic: the Gathering, Rubik's cubes, robotics, and high-powered lasers. Technology is my passion.

"Downton's Abbey's" got me thinking about good manners and all things proper. The denizens of Downton — both upstairs and down — pride themselves on proper form, tradition and civility, and I'm wondering if that's part of the show's massive appeal. (Anyone who watched Sunday night's premiere with Twitter cued up knows what I'm talking about. For those who don't, officially, everyone and their mother watched the season three premiere on PBS Sunday night. Trust me.)
I know English wit and form are part of the draw to "Downton" for me (also: great costumes, Maggie Smith, and O'Brien's zingers). I swear I'm not the only person who shares this (sad?) fascination with what some call "hysterical dramas." Indeed, I meet with a group of girlfriends for historical movie-viewings at each other's homes several times a year—a practice that grew from our common love of the "Anne of Green Gables" films, another gift from PBS we encountered as pre-teens. We watch "Anne" once a year, complete with tea sandwiches, "raspberry cordial" and lots of cake, which fuel a running commentary throughout the film. (It's a bit like Mystery Science Theater 3000, but with better costumes.)
Don't judge us: there's more "Anne" fans out there than you might think.
Annnnnyway, back to etiquette and manners. I'm no Emily Post, but I truly wish I was born into that family. The rules of etiquette fascinate me, and the lack of their employment annoys the crap out of me (scratch that; it's probably rude to use the word "crap" in this context huh? Revision: "...the lack of their employment distresses me to no end.") While the world likely won't end if we all don't know our salad fork from our...whatever the big fork is called, there are certain Rules for Everyday Engagement that, for me, are massive dealbreakers/grounds for dismissal from polite society. Behaviors that cross the line from quirky to inconsiderate.
Mine include: loud eating (I know some dogs who eat more delicately than some people I've heard at table/desk); nose-blowing at table or in office (maybe I should move to Japan); those who speak with food in their mouths; weak handshakes/bone-crusher handshakes (Seriously, what the heck?); loud talkers and/or those with no functional interior monologue (you know, that person who must speak every blessed thought they have aloud, apparently under the belief that everything they dream up is so fascinating, we must all behold it? That person.); those who talk over others in alleged conversations; those with no concept of how to end a conversation; and gentlemen of a certain age who think it's OK to call all women "dear."
I suspect we've all got some social pet peeves, and I'd love to hear what greatly distresses you to no end. Post them in the comments or email me, and if we get enough, I'll collect them for a spread in Daybreak. Consider it a public service toward a more genteel world.

Ratings for Princess Margaret Hospital
Majority of the doctors in this hospital are totally arrogant and incompetent. It is laughable that none of top US hospitals accept pathology results from this hospital. I experienced first hand how many mistakes they made during my treatment. The doctors don't care about well being of patients rather than getting kickbacks from drug companies. I could have died if I did not get second opinion from top US hospitals. The place is dirty and washrooms do not cleaned that often.

I'm having the worst experience right now with PMH. I had a really radical surgery done at Toronto General by my ENT (who is good), however my cancer has returned, and I'm getting little to no attention. Referrals are misplaced or sent to the wrong departments, and my tumor is literally growing daily on my face...I'm getting so overwhelmed and upset - the staff (admin) are dismissive and rude, and the whole arrogance of the people is disgusting. They're playing with people's live...it's just sad and infuriating. The doctors may be fine, but they are treated as a deities, and if can't get past the gatekeepers (admin) you're essentially screwed by going through their "process"

For a so called cancer centre I was appalled by my experience there. Oncologists I dealt with were dismissive and arrogant about my case, I did not feel listened to or well cared for. If I had not pushed my case I would have stage 4 cancer or be dead by now. Time the doctors dropped their arrogance and over confidence in their so called knowledge and started listening to the patient. The only way to stay alive under the Ontario medical system is to strong self advocate, assuming you are strong and well enough to be able to.

Patient with stage 3 pancreatic cance rnot given options for tratment other than the one chemo drug the oncologist peddles and gets support from drug company to do clinical trials although these have been conducted elsewhere. There are other options for tratments but patients here are told to wait and wait for blood test results and then sent home by incompetent oncologists

I've been going to PMH for almost 15 years for treatments its a very busy place there's a lot of sick people out there. But what I've noticed is everybody cares be it the nurses the interns and doctors they have compassion in what they do. When it comes to appointments you have be flexible it is almost impossible not to wait past your appointment time because when your its your time they never rush you out the door at least that's my experience.

I have been a patient of Dr. Christine Chen at PMH Hematology Clinic. Dr. Chen is an excellent doctor, very knowledgeable in her field, she gives confidence. Her people skills are demonstrated by listening and compassion. She understands that a patient is an individual and individuals differ, some are direct, right to the point others are not. I'm a technical logical thinker, right to the point, a doctor without people skills would have difficulty understanding me. I congratulate PHM financial donors' for having a doctor of her calibre.

Trieste - Croassroad of Italian, Slavic & Germanic
My bus from Ljubljana to Trieste was an early morning one.
There are only a few each day, and I was also surprised to find there are no
trains on the route. It's been very surprising to me how I've had to rely on
buses for almost all my travel in the countries of former Yugoslavia. The ride
between the two cities takes only a little over an hour, the last part of which
is a steep and scenic descent into the seaside city from ...
Caverns & Lippizaners - Slovenia's Karst Country
... instead of making a
beeline for the Alps and their impressive scenery I decided to hit one of the
Karst region's other main attractions in the afternoon. That's the Lipica Stud
Farm where the Lipizzaner horses originated, at 435 years old the oldest
continuously operated "royal" stud farm in Europe. That Lipizzaners originated
in what's now Slovenia was news to me. I associate them with Vienna, of course,
but until 1918 ...
Piran - Slovenian Istria
Slovenia has only 16 miles of coastline, not much compared to Croatia's thousands of miles of coast when you include all of its islands and peninsulas. The short stretch is quite developed with an industrial port city (Koper), a swank resort (Portoroz), and a few other old towns. The one real attraction, though, is Piran, a beautiful old town on a peninsula similar to Porec and Rovinj in Croatian Istria but ...

I think if we reach out to our neighbors and get to know them as fellow human beings, we will not need to build any ...
Down on the farm
We are staying at a working farm by the name of Hudicevec. This is very nice place not too far from the caves. It is off of a rural highway, we found it after going to maps and our Sygic GPS on the pad. The Garmin decided to stop working this morning and will make our last two days with the car a little more challenging. We have a good map and only need to make it back to the Venice airport on Saturday to drop our car. The Garmin has served us well for about 8 or 9 years. ...

5 Ways Small Businesses Can Use Big Data in 2016
July 13th, 2016
At the end of February Shubham Shah notified in a blog post that a bug could cause huge harm to Coinbase worlds most popular Bitcoin exchange platform and it seems like hackers have exploited this security vulnerability Shubham has warned Coinbase about 4 months ago as hundreds of users are reporting on Reddit that they are receiving phishing emails from Coinbase asking them to make transactions to other users.
The exploit works as following: Making use of the request money feature, hundreds of thousands of emails can be checked and since there is no limit to the amount of requests you can send, hackers have used thousands of emails and see which ones are from people with a registered Coinbase account, these can then be targeted with phishing attempt.
"Before you get the impression that this isn't a security flaw in itself, please let me explain.
Phishers can use this flaw for serious harm. I believe it is a security issue on Coinbase, which will merely assist mass, targeted phishing."
Shubham has used the exploit it self, allowing him to extract 400 email addresses with the appropriate owners first and second name. After contacting Coinbase, they said the following:
We are not considering account existence bugs to be high enough severity for our scope
Source : Cryptocoinnews
This is disturbing and the response from Coinbase irresponsible. I actually applied for a remote customer service position with them and made it to the final call. I was cut, but trust me – I would not have typed in such a moronic reply. Coinbase is a great company, but the attention spent to attracting their top talent at the expense of the nuts and bolts portion of the operation is a flaw and this is the reason. Thank you for bringing this to the communities attention.
Completely agree on the fact that the response from Coinbase is BS. Thanks for the kind comment :-)

1990 Toyota Corolla Coupe GT-S Sport 2dr Coupe
I Love my Corolla GTS. Mines is no
longer stock tho. The more I fix it up
the more I love it. Fast and fun, great
on gas, expensive to replace parts
(Performance in my case)haha...
My 17 inch. Konig's. My 3 1/2 inch
drope all around.
More Horsepower when it was stock
(102hp) ewwwwww. When I was done with
mines haha 220hp.
Very nice to drive, very low
maintencance -- other than oil changes,
new tires and brakes, I haven't put any
money into this car since I bought it 7
years ago.
Engine -- it's got the performance you need!
The brakes seem to wear a little
prematurely, but not to the point of
being a defect or dangerous.
1990 Toyota Corolla Coupe SR5 2dr Coupe
1990 Toyota Corolla SR5, 5 speed, red
with grey interior. Bought used, 2
years old with 22,000km. Twelve years
later and now at 236,000km, this
vehicle has never let me down. I had
the body repaired and new paint job in
2000 and it has held up very well.
Sporty looks, reliability, fuel economy.
Retractable headlights failed just
after my extended warranty ran out
(1996). They are too expensive to
fix. Air conditioning stopped working
in about 1997.
Picking up a RAV4. Thought I would
sell my GTS but decided to use it as a
summer car. Gotta love Toyota quality
and reliability. I always gets
comments on my car. Most think it's
either new or a few years old. Fast
and fun, great on gas, expensive to
replace parts (all TRD). NEVER had a
problem with this car, just kept up
maintainance. Now it will be my
summer car. 133,000 MI...will put in
car shows 20 years from now
Style, recarro seats, sun roof, 60/40
split rear seats, ground effects
seats get a little un comfy on long
trips. 1st gear is too short
I couldn't kill this car if I wanted
to. At 170,000 miles, it isn't showing
any signs of stopping. A tune-up every
year or two, change the oil, add gas
and drive. I would recommend this car
to anyone who values reliability and
fuel economy but doesn't want to give
up a sporty look.
The best thing about the car is it's
consistent performance. It seems the
older it gets, the better the gas
mileage gets. 12 years old and it's
getting 30 miles to the gallon.

I have an autosuggest done in PHP which on selection will provide to me the id of the item selected from the auto suggest. I would like to post the id that was selected to the server. What would be the best practice to store this variable and sent the same to the server via HTTP Post in PHP?
- List data from a Auto Suggest Text Box. (This is done using javascript).
- Select an Item from the Auto Suggest and also store the key value for the selection in a data store that can be sent over HTTP Post. (The data store is what I am not able to understand)
- Post the form to the server.
I tried to store the value into a hidden field and my javascript breaks, not sure why. Is there any other data store mechanism that I can use other than hidden fields?
Could someone please guide me through this as I am pretty new to PHP.
Thanks and Regards Abishek R Srikaanth

Jeremy Forrest abduction trail led to Bordeaux
21 June 2013 Last updated at 13:58 BST
A bar owner in France has spoken of how her actions brought fugitive teacher Jeremy Forrest to justice.
Alison Cummins, co-owner of HMS Victory in Bordeaux, recognised Forrest and alerted the authorities after he asked her for work while on the run with the schoolgirl he abducted.
Forrest, 30, of Petts Wood in south-east London, was found guilty of abducting the 15-year-old on Thursday, following a trial at Lewes Crown Court.
The prosecution said he groomed the girl at an East Sussex school where he taught.
BBC South East's Fiona Irving travelled to Bordeaux and spoke to Ms Cummins and Erick Augier, owner of the Hotel Choiseul, where Forrest and the girl stayed.

Update! The closing went smooth as silk. Not quite ten seconds flat, but close enough. That means everything is now confirmed, official and as set in stone as it will ever be. Let the party planning commence! Where is Pinkie when you need her...
Also, parking is problem. There just isn't much around. If worse comes to worst then you can park either on the street and walk. Or I will provide the address of a nearby church where you can park and we will get a carpool/vanpool going.
Thirdly, while I think this will be a bang up time >queue party cannon< I don't really want to be a big bother to the neighbors. So I will be running some sound tests and other things, but if we could keep the rowdiness mostly inside that would be great. I hope to have music and dancing and all the usual brony party stuff, but I don't want to raze the neighborhood to do it. That is all, end of line.
A house warming party for my new place! I think I will want to limit the meetup to 50 people (at one time, it's a 3 day party, so everyone who wants to come probably can) as I only have about a thousand square feet. I don't think the basement is counted in that, and the basement is fully finished. I don't have much furniture so there should be plenty of open space. Booze will provided as long as you are of age (I.D. will be required to drink) so you are more than welcome to crash in the basement and spend the night if you so desire. Those under 21 are more than welcome to come, just please avoid the booze. There will be an all out nerf brawl at some point during Saturday evening, so bring your blasters, darts, discs, etc. Everyone will have to be out by one o'clock Sunday afternoon, because I will have to work. If you want to bring your xbox 360 and a T.V. set we could play halo 4 or borderlands 2 or something like that. This is a three day party so as many people as possible can make it. I am only a ten minute drive from the Shady Grove metro station, so we should be able to arrange a car to pick people up from there. I will be closing on the house in question on the 27th of December, I hope to be fully moved in by the time the party is gonna happen. Looking forward to trashing the place (within reason) with you all!
Food: everyone will probably chip in for pizza. I'll have some snacks available. Breakfast for anyone crashing there will be my world famous bourbon pancakes and bacon. Here is the link to a spreadsheet if folks feel so inclined to bring stuff.
Loose itinerary and the commandments of the house. Everyone please read this.
Small thing, did anyone happen to find an Otakon pin/button with Rainbow Dash posing with the Maryland Flag after the party?
I don't collect many pins, but I happened to really like this one. But if it can't be found I guess that's that. It's not a totally big deal.
Awesome party again Tim even though I was there for only Friday night! I'd love to hang out again.

None of these are mine and I was only following orders. If you would like them back, message me on facebook. It is linked to this account.

Well, this is unfortunately gonna be a no go after all. Not only does tomorrow's concert finish well after the last train out of New York leaves, but Saturday's schedule is still subject to last minute change and I may be needed. Don't wanna be over there and then panic as to whether I'll get back in time. Have a great time for me, and I'll catch you all hopefully in the near future. After all, distance never stopped me from getting there. (Scheduling is another matter.)

Alrighty guys, some updates. As I think about 50 crazy yahoos running around with nerf guns, terrible things come to mind. That being said I think that I am gonna nix the whole nerf fight idea. I simply do not have the floor space for it. As a matter of fact, I hope I can fit everyone inside comfortably. ten people is comfortable for the living room. I have no idea what 50 people are gonna do. Let's just say we're gonna have to spread out. That is out of the way. Lunch on Saturday, I was thinking we could go crash my local mall. They have a red robin (one of my favs) and a hot topic, plus lots of other eateries. Dinner is gonna have to be pizza. so everyone bring five or ten bucks, depending on how hungry you get. I simply do not have the capacity to feed fifty people for breakfast, I think I could do 20 to 25. Some folks won't be spending the night I'm assuming, so hopefully the numbers will be reasonable in the A.M. Wall of text over, back to your lives ponies.

Highly recommend this product for anyone with acne and sensitive skin. I did not want to try this as most acne products irritate and dry my skin but having received a free sample from feelunique and reading all positive reviews decided to try it on small area. Overnight the area started to clear and have been using it since in combination with Toleraine moisturiser. Great product and miles better than most of the expensive brands out there.
I've us this for years, it works.
Love this product, and finding it at such a good price is a big bonus
Very quick delivery, well packaged.
Feel unique have never delayed any of my orders, I receive my products quickly and products arrive in good condition.
I use this every day and it really helps my acne prone skin. Highly recommended.
good for my skin - moderate acne with scarring

Product Description
Excalibur (DVD)
This lush retelling of the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table is a dark and engrossing tale. Director John Boorman (Deliverance) masterfully handles the tale of the mythical sword Excalibur, and its passing from the wizard Merlin to the future king of England. Arthur pulls the famed sword from a stone and is destined to be crowned king. As the king embarks on a passionate love affair with Guenevere, an illegitimate son, and Merlin's designs on power, threaten Arthur's reign. The film is visually stunning and unflinching in its scenes of combat and black magic. Featuring an impressive supporting cast, including early work from the likes of Liam Neeson and Gabriel Byrne, Excalibur is an adaptation of the legend both faithful and bold. --Robert Lane --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

An aura of enchantment is created through the use of luminescent greens and shimmering silver, colours which also heighten the perception of a world in transition from paganism to Christianity. Less satisfactory is Boorman's interpretation of the crucial Grail sequence. The mystical secret of redemption revealed to Percival (Paul Geoffrey) is awkwardly correlated with the corruption of knightly virtues, the land in turmoil and Arthur's (Nigel Terry) depressive sickness. Perhaps it is a symptom of trying to cover too much ground at the expense of structural development. Also unfortunate is the bizarrely outlandish appearance of Mordred (Robert Addie) whose masked helmet looks like something out of a religious mystery play!
Regardless of these imperfections, an impressive array of acting talent including Helen Mirren, Patrick Stewart, Cherie Lunghi, Gabriel Byrne and a young Liam Neeson makes the most of an engaging script. Who could forget Arthur's rallying cry to "ride once more with [his] knights to defend what was and the dream of what could be!"
"Excalibur" is not a story about a precise location at some specific point in a time. Rather it is Legend itself; a dreamy tale about one brief, shining moment in a fantastic, magical kingdom. Filled with romance and adventure, "Excalibur" captures both the essence of, and the spirit of, the "knights in shining armor" interpretation of the Arthurian legend.
There are so many beautiful sequences in "Excalibur," such as Perceval's quest for the Holy Grail, or the entire end sequence, set in motion when Mordred says to Arthur, "Come, father, let us embrace at last." Director John Boorman skillfully blends realism and authenticity by way of a mythical setting.
No other film has ever captured the romantic notion of the Arthurian legend, both in scenery and drama, quite like "Excalibur." To this day, I still get the chills when I hear "O Fortuna" from Carmina Burana over the visuals of the last of the knights of the Round Table riding into battle with Mordred's forces. "Excalibur" is, quite simply, cinematic perfection.
NOTE: Several exceptional and distinguished Shakespearian actors appear in "Excalibur" including Nicol Williamson, Helen Mirren, Patrick Stewart, Liam Neeson, Gabriel Byrne, Nigel Terry and Cherie Lunghi.
This movie throws in everything from Uther's lust for Igraine and what leads to Arthur being born. Merlin taking Arthur, Arthur pulling Excalibur from the stone, Morgana and Merlin's rivalry, Lancelot and Guinevere's affair, and Mordred vs. Arthur. It also has the quest for the grail, which they could have made a little longer. ... it was too easy. Maybe they were afraid of the movie being to long (alread over two hours). But nevertheless, it gets the job done.
The acting is excellent and the cinemetography is exceptional. You almost forget that this movie was from 1981! And I love how funny Merlin can be at times throughout this movie. Excellent stuff!

magic in the wilds of Alaska
By sally tarbox on 14 Dec. 2013
Format: Paperback
A pleasant enough read for a winter's evening, but I agree with another reviewer that the characters were totally 2 dimensional and failed to convince. Mabel seems to change overnight: from a depressed woman, secretly contemplating suicide, and in an incommunicative marriage for the past ten years to a romping romantic. From being turned in on herself and refusing to see anyone, to giggling away with her new friend, the bustling Esther.
It's agreeable chick-lit: if you want a really unputdownable book about a lonely woman and a fairy friend, try Edith Olivier's superlative 'The Love Child' (published by Virago.)
I really enjoyed the uncertainty of the snow child's existence. Danger and madness in the Alaskan wilderness seem to be around corner. Great read!
When the Russian fable of Snegurochka, The Snow Maiden, seems to come to life for a childless couple, it brings them both the joy and the vulnerability of parental love. This enchanting fairy tale-like story is set in the Alaskan wilderness which, like a fairy tale, can be beautiful, unpredictable and sometimes cruel.
Eowyn Ivey's The Snow Child draws upon the Russian fairytale of Snegurochka, also known as the Snow Maiden. In his 1869 The Poetic Outlook on Nature by the Slavs, Alexander Afanasyev includes the story of Snegurochka (Snegurka). In this version an elderly, childless couple build a child of snow that comes to life. This myth is mirrored in Ivey's Snow Child where, in the harsh Alaskan frontier of the 1920's, an elderly, childless couple struggle to stake their claim amidst disconnection, disappointment, and grief.
In the glint of freshly fallen snow Jack and Mabel build a snow girl. Inspired by raw emotion and unmet dreams, snow is carved and adorned by the couple. Later, the snow girl lying crumbled, the gloves and scarf are to be seen on a girl running into the woods. Tracks lead from the remains of the couple's creation and the question floats as if caught in a flurry, who is this girl?
Inhabiting the realm between folklore and realism, Ivey's work caresses its readers with the chill and severity of Alaskan snow, the sharp edges of piercing grief, and the warm enticement of myth and mystery. The harshness of homesteading the wilds of Alaska and the interplay between the fragility and strength possessed by Ivey's characters are well developed. The story is simply built and enjoyable.
Though there were a couple parts that fell to a meander throughout, I was caught by Ivey's use of the visual. The rural and wild Alaskan frontier is as much a main character of The Snow Child as Faina, Jack, Mabel, or Esther. Just as their relationships build and bloom with each other, so do we see each character's relationship with the frontier develop and it was captivating to see the differences and similarities. I came away from the book pleased with both the story as well as Ivey's respect for the nature of Alaska's wilds and the struggle and appreciation experienced by those that settled there.

I want to thank Karine for helping ATS out during the month of June (and a bit) with a big project that entailed ascertaining ALL of the current Advancement staff (not as easy as you'd think it should be) and compiling a list of them to be used by Nebula. In addition she added so much value by also helping to analyze our whole collection of access groups and Nebula folders, and making suggestions for eliminating unneeded ones and consolidating redundancies. Thanks so much, Karine!

There's been a thing in ATS for the last year or more called "The Clump." The Clump was an identified set of over 300 pairs of duplicates in Advance. Gradually over the last year the duplicates in The Clump have been reduced, but it's laborious work, and the number wasn't reducing very quickly at all. Then Luis started working on the Updates team a few months ago. Due to Luis's steady persistence, as of this morning, The Clump is a thing of the past! We still have duplicates, but we also have better and faster ways of resolving them, and an expert duplicate resolver on the job. Thanks, Luis. And thanks to Lisa Marker and Lesley Reece who were also instrumental in getting the Advance duplicate resolution process to work, and who have also been working hard at resolving The Clump.

Grigsby counts blessings early

First he squeaked into the top 12 by four ounces after two days of the CITGO Bassmaster Legends Tournament presented by Goodyear. Then Saturday, when the top-12 anglers started at zero, Grigsby almost matched his total from the first two days with four bass weighing 11 pounds, 5 ounces.

SDR Software for the Mac
Part of the difficulty that I had testing my Softrok was the apparent lack of SDR software for my MacBook. Both WY7USA and NM5DV came through for me though, and suggested that I have a peek at DSPRadio, by Sebastian Mrozek, DO8SEM. It didn't fix the imbalance/lack of sensitivity that I had, but it did allow me to test it in a more interactive fashion. Here I am, centered over the K beacon (the frequencies aren't calibrated, but might be close).
First signals heard through the Softrock Lite II
Well, I'm not sure that the Softrock I put together is working entirely well. I'm beginning to believe that the transformer that I wound might be bad. My receiver seems a bit deaf, and also seems to have only about 20db or so of opposite side rejection (I'm getting images of signals on both sides of the center carrier frequency). I'm a bit stymied by the fact that I only have my macbook in a place where it can be used to decode the softrock, and the software for it is, well, to a first approximation, there isn't any. I did a bit of hacking, and took a recording I made and extracted this Morse code recording, which I'll archive here as the first that I ever got.
I'll have to work on it some more in the future, but for now, I'm back to beaconing with my FT-817.

This paper addresses the problem of recovering both the intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of a camera from the silhouettes of an object in a turntable sequence. Previous silhouette-based approaches have exploited correspondences induced by epipolar tangents to estimate the image invariants under turntable motion and achieved a weak calibration of the cameras. It is known that the fundamental matrix relating any two views in a turntable sequence can be expressed explicitly in terms of the image invariants, the rotation angle, and a fixed scalar. It will be shown that the imaged circular points for the turntable plane can also be formulated in terms of the same image invariants and fixed scalar. This allows the imaged circular points to be recovered directly from the estimated image invariants, and provide constraints for the estimation of the imaged absolute conic. The camera calibration matrix can thus be recovered. A robust method for estimating the fixed scalar from image triplets is introduced, and a method for recovering the rotation angles using the estimated imaged circular points and epipoles is presented. Using the estimated camera intrinsics and extrinsics, a Euclidean reconstruction can be obtained. Experimental results on real data sequences are presented, which demonstrate the high precision achieved by the proposed method.

The majority of farmers in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) lack the means to mitigate the impact of risks associated with rainfall and commodity prices due to capital constraints and the imperfect insurance market in these countries. Because most SSA farmers are risk averse, they may be willing to invest in productive assets that can mitigate the impacts of such risks if their capital constraints are relaxed through external financial assistance. We test this hypothesis by using panel data on investment behavior of Nigerian farmers who received financial assistance on productive assets. The empirical results show that farmers facing higher rainfall risks are more likely to invest in irrigation pumps that can mitigate the impact of rainfall risks, while those facing higher risks of white gari price are more likely to invest in milling machines that enable them to process cassava into flour instead of gari, which supports our hypothesis.
