Extensions introduced in Castle Game Engine related to the time.
See also documentaton of supported nodes of the Time component and X3D specification of the Time component.
This feature is available since Castle Game Engine 6.5 and view3dscene 3.19.0. It's not yet available in stable CGE or view3dscene.
As an extension, we add a
fractionIncreasing field to
TimeSensor node:
TimeSensor { ... SFBool [in,out] fractionIncreasing TRUE }
FALSE, the animation runs backwards.
It's very simple: after calculating the
fraction value,
following the X3D specification, we do
fraction := 1 - fraction.
And then we send
through the
TimeSensor.fraction_changed event.
If your interpolators react nicely to the
then the animation will run backwards.
See a description how
TimeSensor and interpolators are typically connected to implement animation.
Note that everything else works as usual, regardless of
fractionIncreasing value. In particular,
TimeSensor.elapsedTime and
output events are always generated with increasing values
(trying to force them to go backward would make weird results).

To smack or not to smack?
Hug your children often, cuddle them, laugh with them, talk to them, listen to them. Keep them warm and snug, feed them well and healthy. Read lots of books together, go for walks, sing in the car, be silly, play games . . . just make sure they know you love them HEAPS. Smacking should never be done to gain "complete and utter obedience" you are not creating robots. As far as I am concerned, it should only be used as the very last resort when all else has failed.

Cameroon's singer, Kasi Dred, yesterday, September 09, 2016 released his second sensational single from #HearNoise titled Wurere Africa.
Before you watch and listen to this great piece of music Afro Hustler would like to do a brief profiling of the artist.
Kasi Dred developed musical interest as a kid. As time went on, he started to love dancing and finally started creating his own songs. As a fluent pidgin English speaker, he took a detour and became a very good rapper and coupled it to his elegant flow and magestic punch. With this magical gifts, he did his first solo recording 6 years ago at "Spacey music" Bambui.
Kasi then went on to release a Mix tape album in 2013 titled "Ma Head di Hot" with 13 tracks. In 2014 he released a single in audio on YouTube titled "Responsible" which made lasting impact following the mix tape on a grand scale. And the master of #qualitynoise was brought up to the grand stage.
In 2015 there was high demand for more of Kasi and fans of the now famous artist called for a video. And then came the birth of the solo video track entitled "church" on YouTube; a song that portrayed a little bit of everything Kasi and what he thought about everything happening around him in society.
"Church" then became an instant hit and was nominated best video in the 2016 New Breed Africa celebrity award.
With the impact from "church" and the demand for more comes in 2016 the release of the audio "wurere Africa" which is a victory cry for Africans, Cameroonians in general and 'Bamendians' in particular. With great afro feelings and a blend of south African tunes, the silky smooth rapper hails the emergence of a winning nation and continent.
Rhymes to match, idioms and punchy verses are what make this song and outstanding masterpiece. In Finality, on the 9/9/2016 the official video of this out of the box masterpiece from the master of HearNoise "wurere Africa" drops.
"The song Wurere Africa ( meaning bravo Africa) is just talking about the hard works of all Africans even though things are really not moving for us back here in Africa we are still struggling and pushing hard," says Kesi Dred.
Kasi Dred is currently under the management of Darnoc IST from CE Jay Productions.
Enjoy the Music. Please remember to visit Youtube to like, share and leave your comments about the Video.

Some critics, like the Daily Telegraph have labelled the film, 'fantastically silly' whereas others have admired the wonderful camera angles and stunning acting skills of Nicole Kidman, who plays the leading role. The movie charts the life of Grace Kelly, one of the most captivating women to come out of Hollywood, yet Kidman claims that, 'It's not meant to be a biopic. I certainly did my best to honour everything that was real and truthful in it,' as she is joined by a star cast including Tim Roth and Paz Vega.
Grace Kelly was considered to be the most beautiful woman in the world and starred in many famous movies throughout the 1950's including 'To Catch a Thief' with Cary Grant, 'Rear Window' with James Stewart and 'High Society' with Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby. Winning a Best Actress Oscar for her role in 'Country Girl,' Grace retired from the world of acting when she became Princess of Monaco, focusing on her family and new royal title. This movie looks sure to be a huge success, even if the critics have been especially scathing of it. From the beautiful costumes to the dramatic story line, it will be interesting to see Grace Kelly brought back to life through Nicole Kidman.
So the big question remains, will you be buying a cinema ticket?

7Framed Is A Multi-Perspective Triple-Indie Murder Mystery
7Framed might sound like a name for the world's most uncomfortable pair of glasses, but least it's not called 7ramed. I will forever be thankful for that, as I have no idea how you rame something, let alone do it seven times. Silly name aside, there is a game here, and it actually looks rather impressive – well, from a "here is what is obviously a target render Kickstarter video" standpoint, anyway. Blending the first-person physicality of Mirror's Edge and the multi-perspective murder mystery drama of some game I don't know about that probably did those exact things, 7Framed has potential in spades. But of course, it wants your money. A lot of your money. To persuade you, developer VIE Games is offering an extremely attractive video, but not much else.
Here's the basic premise, per developer (and animation/mo-cap studio) VIE Games:
"7FRAMED puts you in the role of not one but seven citizens targeted by the groups that would control them. Set up for crimes you did not commit, 7FRAMED allows you to play from not only the perspective of all of the victims but other characters in the world. Every shift in point of view brings new insights into the agenda of the enemy and brings you steps closer to solving the mysteries of why you? Why were you targeted? And every character you play brings you closer to the realization that your characters must be pivotal players on the global stage even if they do not know it yet."
"Released in seven episodes, 7FRAMED is set just five years in the future, eerily touching on the modern issues facing us all – issues such as privacy, terrorism, and the inability to make a difference when opposing entities much larger and powerful than ourselves. And the game immerses you in this terrifying, plausible world in the most believable ways possible."
Interesting, yes, but also rather vague. That's kinda the story of the rest of the Kickstarter, unfortunately. Features like "single-player campaign," "all shooter ingredients plus many challenging puzzles," and – my personal favorite – "hiding from the other character system" aren't elaborated on at all. At this point, the whole thing kinda reeks of, "Look at this pretty video! OK now insert some coins to continue yeah yeah do it yeah we'll figure out the rest later."
The Kickstarter also touts top-tier Montreal game development talent (which isn't a particularly far-fetched notion, given that Montreal is made up of more game developers than it is atoms), but it offers nothing in the way of specifics. I can't even really find any info on VIE's previous work in animation and mo-cap beyond a shooter called H-Hour: World's Elite, and the company itself seems relatively young having apparently been founded late in 2012. With a little more digging, however, I did discover that it employs talent formerly of powerhouses like Ubisoft Montreal, so that's something, at least.
Still though, it's one thing to be able to make a sneaky, snazzy video like this. It's something else entirely to turn it into a full-fledged seven-episode game. Given that VIE is asking for $300,000 CAD, we're gonna need more than just a heaping plate of eye candy and a bullet list of vague promises. Don't get me wrong: I'd love to see this concept realized, but Kickstarter's main currency isn't cold hard cash. It's trust. Here's hoping we find out more soon.

This article is Part 1 of a 2 part series that focuses on how AI-powered Co-Workers will change and improve the dynamics of the workplace, while underlining the increased fit and demand for people as the most valuable part.
It's been long understood that people are the biggest asset in any successful business. As AI-powered Co-Workers begin to appear more frequently in the workplace, that universal truth isn't going to change. People will remain the rockstars at work.
What's going to change is that AI Co-Workers will help to fill gaps in areas that are created by another universal truth we all know about at work: That the biggest problems in business tend to be people related as well. Whether it's not enough of the right people doing the things they should, or too many of wrong people doing things they shouldn't, to err is human.
Today, the AI Revolution is beginning to empower teams in ways that better allow people to focus more on our human strengths while enabling AI Co-Workers to fill in gaps and do the work that people can't or shouldn't be doing. As a result, people in the modern workplace will realize the following benefits:
#1: More of the right resources to better do our jobs
I've never met a winning team that's felt they had enough people to best do their jobs. Because of this, "headcount" has always been the most critical line item of every manager's budget. The challenge with headcount is that people are expensive and it's hard to find the perfect fit for the job.
AI Co-Workers will be cost effective and highly productive doing:
- Jobs that people can't do, or not enough people can do
- Jobs that people don't want to do or shouldn't have to do
- Jobs in far away places where there aren't enough people
- Jobs that require inhumane work hours
- Jobs that businesses cannot afford to have people do
The day will come when every person in the workplace will have an entire team of AI-powered Co-Workers they will be responsible to mento , manage and work along with. This will make all of us managers, as we all lead the AI Revolution– just as we led the Agricultural and Industrial Revolution.
#2: A better balance of the right attitude at work
The same limbic (emotional) system of our minds that allows people to love and have passion for their jobs is also what causes others to feel frustrated, angry and disgruntled at work. As humans, our limbic systems serve as the emotional buffer between the advanced, critical thinking capabilities that our cerebral cortex processes, and how we end up expressing ourselves to the world. While this high limbic-to-cerebral ratio is what makes us unique and special as humans, it all too often gets in the way of optimal, logic-driven productivity at work. In essence, we could benefit by being a little more cerebral in nature and a little less emotional— a need that has driven a newfound resurgence into the study of stoicism.
On the flip side, AI's possess neural networks, deep learning and thought processing capabilities that are similar to what the right cerebral cortex of the human mind offers. What makes AI's special is that, while humans reach peak mental power at about age 25, the "right cerebral" processing capabilities that AI's offer are advancing exponentially year-over-year. For example, today a single low-cost ($1000 USD) computer is approaching the processing capabilities of a single human. By 2050, that same computer will exceed the processing capabilities of all humans on earth, combined.
Over the coming years, most of the skills people have focused on developing in school (memory and right-cortex mental processing) will become an abundant commodity in the AI Revolution. In turn, this will flip our current limbic-to-cortex ratio abundance the complete opposite way. What does this mean for us as humans? It means that the emotions and creativity that define us as humans, will prove to be the most valued and most highly demanded attribute in life.
#3: The AI Revolution will disrupt traditional labor
Over 200 years ago, 90 percent of people used to be farmers. Today, that number has decreased to only 2 percent, while technology has enabled those that remain to be 7x more productive.
Like every revolution, job categories were disrupted and shifted. Like every revolution, job qualities and quantities were greatly increased. The same will occur during the AI revolution…
Stay tuned… To be continued in Part 2 of the Series. Be sure to subscribe to our blog, by filling out the box in the right column, to stay up to date.

"It is a good problem to have." I use this phrase all the time. This past weekend The Woods Academy hosted a MD State Robotics Tournament Qualifier at our facility. It was a "first" for us. Hosting the event that is. We have two robotics teams that compete in the state now, but when a site had to back out of hosting a qualifier tournament, Mr. O and the robotic's minions said "yes" and boy did they put on a show. I say minions in the most respectable way I can. It took an army of people to build tables, set up classrooms, emcee the event, organize the food and "host" over 200 people on campus.
I joked with Mr. O during the festivities on Saturday that he and the "crew" of volunteers were doing such an amazing job that we were going to be asked to do this again. The words of one of the MD state First Lego League representatives went something like this, "we have never been bored at one of these events because we are needed to take on so many tasks. Your volunteers have it all covered so well that I am bored." Setting the bar high is what we did. That is a "good" problem right?
I could not have been prouder to say I was part of The Woods Academy than I was this Saturday as I walked around, witnessed the pride our people took in their school and the envy of those visiting our facilities and feeling our hospitality. More than one parent remarked to me that we have a wonderful school. Yes we do and I took great joy in "gushing" over all the people in the green volunteer shirts. It was truly the "green team" that not only pulled off the event, but also showed the sixteen teams in attendance that the culture of our school is to proudly care about what we have here as a community. It showed!
When someone, in this case a group, is good at something the expectation is that you will be asked to be "good" at it again. The "problem" about being good is not actually a problem. It is a credit to those that poured their hearts, heads and hands into this work. So, I see it like this. We have a "good" problem here at The Woods- People who care so much that they will pour all they have into their efforts to show their pride in our school and community. Maybe more is expected of us. If being "good" is a problem, I will take it. How could I ask for more? Thank you to all who made Saturday such a great day!

No Beatles song that appears on one of their albums can be considered obscure or a "hidden gem." (No band has had its entire catalog scrutinized the way these guys have.) Still, "The Night Before" is a song of theirs that's never gotten its full due.

I was actually interested in seeing Justin Bieber: Never Say Never. 3D concert movies are, generally speaking, a treat, and I was hoping that this film would help clue me into Bieber's appeal. (Plus, "U Smile" works for me really well.) Alas, Never Say Never is more like a political campaign than a disarming look at the teen sensation. My full review is at Screen International.

History Center hosts open house on Bock family memorabilia
The Old Colorado City Historical Society (OCCHS) will host an open house Saturday, March 2, featuring artifacts, rare family photos, news articles and architectural drawings/plans representing the legacy of the Bock family, the last private owners of the Red Rock Canyon property.
The event is free and open to the public at any time between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. OCCHS staff will be on hand to answer questions.
John G. Bock moved to the Pikes Peak region in 1923 and over the years gradually acquired the land we know as Red Rock Canyon. In 2003, the City Council voted to purchase the 789-acre property and convert it to open space.
According to Dave Hughes, a local historian who recently authored two articles on the Bock family's Red Rock Canyon legacy in the Westside Pioneer, the open house will have "so much stuff it will cover several tables." Included will be Bock relics from Hughes' personal collection as well as recent documents and photos from John G. Bock's younger son Richard. Born in 1923 and now living in Arizona, Richard, a career architect, designed a major development for Red Rock about 40 years ago, in conjunction with his brother John S. (now deceased), but the project plan never gained approval from local governments.
During a November phone call with the Westside Pioneer, Richard said he believes his "Red Rock Canyon project would have been better for the community" than the city buying it as open space. "It would have gotten rid of the taxes."

Here are images of the piece I am currently working on for Qwiki. This piece has been rad to paint. I am getting my old hand back in regard to abstract painting, textures, and just free, expressive, messy work. Painting the background really brought me back to moments in the past when I realized why I can't stay away from this life of making art that I have created or rather been bestowed. With this piece all of those feelings and memories culminated to the here and now, to the present moment, and I have been in the "zone" the whole time working on it. To me it really has become the culmination of my different styles of working, finally coming together and breathing as one entity. Life is awesome when these moments occur. I have a bit more to go but wanted to share what has transpired thus far with you all now.
Luan panel, 8'x4', beautiful natural color and grain.
Get up, sand down, wipe off paint over, squiggly lines, big shapes, catchin tags, get up, sand down, wipe off, paint over...
I love how these abstract creature forms, all lines, all figurative and contour, interact with the textures, colors, and world of the piece as a setting.
New Astroknot comes to life. Feels like I just created a living being.
Low light, Astroknot two comes to life jumping out of the exploding body of the first.
Explosions, decay, movement, life, almost there. This painting has breathed new life into my work. I thank everyone at Qwiki for the opportunity to make this, especially Marc and Doug. I can't wait to finish it and install it and get crackin on work for the next Unstoppable Tomorrow series. I'll post the final stages of this piece as soon as it is finished in the next couple days.

Taking a regular income
Mike wants a secure income
Age: 60
Status: Never married, no children
Occupation: Chartered Surveyor
Retirement savings: £60,000 in a personal pension plan, £15,000 a year from a final salary pension
Plans for the future: Stopping work – now!
Other income? My state pension kicks in when I'm 66
What I'd like to do with my retirement savings:
I want the security of a regular income for the rest of my life
Can Mike do it?
Yes. Mike can use his retirement savings to buy an annuity: it will pay him a regular income for the rest of his life – taxable at Mike's normal income tax rates – and will supplement the income he gets from his final salary pension.
If he wants to, Mike can take up to 25% of his retirement savings as tax-free cash (£15,000). This will reduce the amount he has to buy an annuity – so Mike will get a lower income than if he used the whole amount.
Mike has a of annuities to choose from. But once he's bought the annuity, Mike will not be able to change it.Think an annuity is right for you?
By the way..
- Mike might get a higher income by buying an 'enhanced' or 'impaired life' annuity, if he has certain health or lifestyle conditions that could affect how long he's likely to live. These may include smoking, regularly taking medication, being underweight or overweight, working in a hazardous occupation or if living in an area where life expectancy is lower.
- Mike should shop around (known as the Open Market Option) for his annuity to get a higher income for his circumstances – Mike's pension company may offer this service.
- If Mike wants to ensure his income , he can. But this may reduce the income he gets at the outset.
- It's unlikely that Mike would want his annuity income to continue to be paid after he dies as he is single with no children. However, he could set up his annuity so that some or all of his regular income could be paid to a partner or dependant for the rest of his life when he dies, this is called a joint life annuity. Or he could opt for a 'guaranteed period' which means his income will continue to be paid after his death up until the end of the guaranteed period. Mike just needs to nominate who he wants to receive it. If he does this, Mike's income will be lower when his annuity starts.

Taking medication to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in childhood does not affect the risk of substance abuse later in life, according to a new study.
Earlier research indicated children who took ADHD drugs had a reduced risk of substance abuse, The New York Times reports.
Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, reviewed 15 previous studies on ADHD medication use in childhood and later risk of substance abuse. They published their results in JAMA Psychiatry.
Almost one in five boys of high school age, and 11 percent of school-age children overall, have received a medical diagnosis of ADHD in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
An estimated 6.4 million children ages 4 to 17 had received an ADHD diagnosis at some point. This represents a 16 percent increase since 2007, and a 53 percent increase in the past 10 years.
Study Senior Author Steve S. Lee said his team only knew whether a child had ever taken ADHD medication, but not how old they were when they took it, which medication they took, or how long they used it. He said it is possible that some subgroups of these children might have lower or higher risk of substance abuse later in life.
"For any particular child, parents should consult with the prescribing physician about potential side effects and long-term risks," Lee said in a news release. "Saying that all parents need not be concerned about the use of stimulant medication for their children is an overstatement; parents should have the conversation with the physician. As with other medications, there are potential side effects, and the patient should be carefully evaluated to, for example, determine the proper dosage."
Taking prescription drugs not prescribed for you by a doctor or in a way that hasn't been recommended by a doctor, can be more dangerous than you think. In fact, it can be fatal. Click here to learn more.

Welcome to the forum LadyHawk. I remember an 80's movie by that name, with Rutger Hauer, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Matthew Broderick. Loved it at the time, but haven't seen it in years, so I'm not certain it would hold up.
Hi! I was posting on Breitbart and a guy who was posting some great commentary invited like-minded individuals to come and give this board a try!I have posted as CrisD in other conservative forums and LadyHawk (my school's name for its women's teams). So if you know St.Joe's, you know I am a Philly girl. But I live in Boston now--don't hold it against me!Been a conservative since I was a kid. Love to talk about what's going on.Am taking a trip to Texas for a few days. San Antonio...remember The Alamo...be back then.

The Gardens and Grounds
Hutton is surrounded by beautiful gardens and grounds. It is known that there were elaborate gardens around the house from the late 17th century. They have evolved since that time but the basic elements can still be seen and are a wonderful background to the plants and flowers.
The Walled Garden
The Kip engraving shows an enclosed Dutch garden to the north of the Gallery. In its present form the garden owes much to Henry Vane Fletcher. He walled in two sides in the 1730s to encourage fruit trees. The other two sides are bounded by yew hedges planted by Lady Vane over a century ago. It is now a spectacular flower garden with beds and borders of spring bulbs, herbaceous and annual flowers, set against the dramatic backdrop of the house and trees.
Terraces and Topiary
Fine terraces to the South and West of the house act as a plinth for the massive strength of the architecture and were considerably restored in the 19th Century. Lady Vane was responsible for much of the topiary dating from the 1890s, reflecting the revival of interest in topiary.
The Low Garden
A formal rhododendron garden known as The Low Garden was laid out in the 1870s. It had become very overgrown and an exciting new project is underway to open up the 18th Century view to the cascade, lake and William Sawrey Gilpin's early 19th Century planting. The rhododendrons have been cleared and a wild-flower meadow planted, but there is still a lot of work to do.
The Woodland Walk
A Woodland Walk is laid out through the woods to the north and west of the house. They contain a mixture of mature hardwoods, more than 200 years old and sadly coming to the end of their lives, 'American' conifers over a hundred years old, and more recent planting by the present Lord Inglewood and his father. These mixed aged woods were intended to recreate the effect of the medieval forest of Inglewood and are the habitat of all kinds of wildlife, including the now rare red squirrel, roe deer and many species of bird.
The Park
Hutton is set on the edge of its Park, which extends eastward towards the Pennines and is divided by the Penrith road. At one time there were deer in the Park but they have long gone, as has the cricket pitch that was abandoned in 1914 upon news of the outbreak of World War I. During World War II the Park was an airbase with a wartime airstrip.
Guided Walks with the Hutton game keeper are organised regularly and the Park is host to various events, including Potfest, a Plant and Food Fair and International Horse Trials.
St James' Church
St James' Church is still the 'ecclesia in viridi prato' – the 'church in the green field' described in a Papal return in 1291 – and one of the original churches in the Carlisle Diocese. Much of the church is 18th Century, renovated in the 19th Century by Anthony Salvin in a deceptively simple Arts and Crafts style. It contains a fragment of a Norse Cross going back to the time of the Norman Conquest, as well as a number of memorials to the Fletchers and Vanes. Many of those who lived and worked at Hutton are buried here. It has services three times a month, but is closed when not in use.

Software environments for supporting End-User Development
07081.CostabileMariaFrancesca.Paper.1081.pdf (0.03 MB)
Our work on End-User Development primarily focuses on the needs of a specific community of users, namely professionals in diverse areas outside of computer science, such as engineers, physicians, geologists and physicist, who are not professional programmers. We refer to them as domain experts.
We developed a participatory design methodology, called SSW (Software Shaping Workshop) methodology, aimed at designing software environments that support domain experts to become co-designers of their tools. The different stakeholders can contribute their own views on the problem to design, development and maintenance of an application, using their own languages and notations.
We also proposed a model of the Interaction and Co-Evolution processes (ICE model) occurring between users and system. It extends a previous model of Human-Computer Interaction by considering an important phenomenon occurring during the use of interactive systems, called co-evolution of users and systems.

This step by step woodworking project is about how to build a platform bird feeder. I personally like having singing bird in my backyard. That is why over time I have built many bird houses and feeder, to attract them to my property and to help them get over the winter. This project is about building a simple platform bird feeder from common materials.
We recommend you to invest in the best materials you could afford. Therefore, you should buy weather-resistant lumber, such as pine or cedar. Always take accurate measurements before adjusting the size of the components at the proper size. Drill pilot holes trough the components before inserting the wood screws, to prevent the wood from splitting.
Made from this plan
- A – 1 piece of 1×4 lumber – 12″ long BOTTOM
- B – 2 piece of 1×2 lumber – 13 1/2″ long, 2 pieces – 5″ long TRIMS
- C – 2 pieces of 1×2 lumber – 8″ long BRACES
- D – 2 pieces of 1×4 lumber – 7″ long GABLE ENDS
- E – 6 pieces of 1×2 lumber – 16 1/2″ long, 1 piece of 1×1 lumber – 16 1/2″ long ROOFING
- Safety gloves, glasses
- Miter saw, jigsaw
- Chalk line, tape measure, spirit level, carpentry pencil
- Drill machinery and drill bits
- One Weekend
Bird feeder plans
Build the bottom of the tray from 1×4 lumber.
Use 1×2 lumber for the trims. Cut both ends of the trims at 45 degrees and lock them to the bottom with glue and 1 1/4″ brad nails.
Attach 1×2 supports to the ends of the tray, as shown in the plans. Make sure the corners are right-angled.
Build the gable ends from 1×4 lumber. Cut the sides at 45 degrees.
Attach the 1×2 slats to the roof of the bird feeder. Use brad nails and glue to lock the slats into place.
Smooth the surface with sandpaper. Apply a few coats of paint or stain to protect the components from the elements. However, make sure you don't use products that are toxic for the birds.
Platform Bird Feeder Plans
The first step of the project is to assemble the tray for the birdhouse. As you can easily notice in the diagram, you need to build the bottom from 1×4 lumber and the trims from 1×2 lumber. Cut both ends of the trims at 45 degrees.
Add glue to the joints for a better bond.
Use 1 1/4″ brad nails to lock the trims into place.
Fit the rest of the trims to the tray. Align the edges with attention for a professional result.
The tray once assembled looks already beautiful.
Attach 1×2 vertical supports to the sides of the tray. I used some scrap pieces for the bird feeder, so don't mind the angle cut at the top.
Make sure the corners are right-angled before inserting the nails.
Build the components for the roof of the bird feeder. Use 1×4 slats for the gable ends and 1×2 slats for the roofing.
Add glue to the roofing slats and clamp them together tightly. Align the edges with attention before clamping them together.
Next, attach the roofing boards to the gable ends, as shown in the image. Insert 1 1/4″ nails to lock the boards into place. Add glue if you want to enhance the bond of the components.
Fit the roofing boards on the opposite side of the roof.
The gable roof for the platform bed feeder seen from another angle.
Use brad nails to lock the vertical supports to the roof of the bird feeder.
The bird feeder is almost ready for use. All it need is some sanding and a few coats of stain to protect the components from decay.
I sanded the components with 80 grit sandpaper, followed by 120 grit sandpaper. Drill pilot holes and insert two eye screws to the roof of the bird feeder. Hang the bird feeder to a tree and fill the tray with seeds.

This was the first test trying to twist a 1cm strip. The reason it snapped was because I tried heating the entire rod and then twisting it all in one go however by the time i had heated the whole rod enough to bend part of it had cooled down and so by twisting it, it snapped.
I rectified this problem by only heating parts of the rod at a time and then twisting it. Although it was hard to get even it didn't matter if I made a mistake because it can just be reheated and then shaped again.

Talented and prolific, Andrew Bird is good for about a record every two years. But after 2011 passed, two years after the release of the widely successful Noble Beast, we were left scratching our heads after the dapper violin virtuoso failed to deliver.
Signed to new label Mom+Pop, Bird didn't let disappointment linger long, with new album Break It Yourself set to be released in early March. The first sample of Bird's newest album, "Eyeoneye," is titled in the same traditional homonym-stylings that fans have been accustomed to in a career spanning 15 years and six full albums. The latest song, yet to be polished, reads like 50s rock, steadied by the clockwork strumming of an old time guitar, as Bird is joined by backup singers on the refrain "Bringing your heart, but break it yourself." More uptempo than what we've been accustomed to, the song also has elements of Bird's old tricks. Whistling is aplenty, while the talented songwriter turns to his favorite wordplay to stretch out the song title, "Eyeoneye," into a deliciously fun chorus.
Andrew Birds' Break It Yourself will be released on March 6.

Pirate Party On Track For A Record Victory In Iceland
This is a guest post by Mattias Bjärnemalm, vice-president of Pirate Party Sweden and currently in Iceland for the elections.
This coming Saturday there will be an election in Iceland, after the Panama scandal forced the Prime Minister to resign and the government to call new elections this summer. It's impossible, at this point, to say whether the Icelandic Pirate Party will be the largest or second largest party after the election. However, it's entirely clear that compared to their result of 5.1% in the previous election, this will be an enormous success for them. This will be a large step forward for not just the Icelandic pirates – at the moment of writing, more than thirty pirates from other countries have said that they will travell to Iceland to be there at the election. In that group we can find the leaders for the Swedish, German, Dutch and Slovenian pirate parties, as well as our MEP Julia Reda.
What is it that has made the Icelandic Pirate Party successful? My analysis is that they have succeeded in building upon their previous successes very well. To go from 5% to 20% is an incredible change, but that's actually not as impressive as the feat of 5.1% in the first election that a party stands in. To understand the Pirates' success, you have to first understand the circumstances of their election in 2013, half a year after the party's founding.
This is how 'The Iceland Blog' described the situation in 2012:
"Birgitta Jónsdóttir has been elected leader of Píratapartýið. In the Icelandic Pirate's first policy program there is among other things a call for more transparency in society and increased civil rights. The goal is to get into the Alþingi in the spring elections. The Pirate Party will, above all, be trying to recruit young members who are active on the net. On Saturday the Pirate Party was formally founded at a meeting in Reykjavík. Birgitta Jónsdóttir, who is today an MP for 'The Movement', was elected leader of the executive committee. On the committee is also Björn Þór Jóhannesson, Halldóra Mogensen, Jason Scott and Stefán Vignir Skarphéðinsson, as well as Herbert Snorrason and Einar Valur Ingimundarson who were elected by lottery. The goal is to breach the 5% barrier to the Alþingi in April and gain representation in parliament. The Icelandic Pirate Party is aimed mostly towards young and internet-active voters."
This can be seen as a relatively representative overview of the new party, where the focus was very much on Birgitta. The same blog described their policies in the following way before the election in 2013:
"The Icelandic pirates push classic pirate topics: transparency, freedom of information, direct democracy, public participation and – not necessarily as classic – decriminalization of narcotics. The use of narcotics should, according to the Pirate Party, be handled as a medical and not a legal and judicial problem. They attract mostly young voters from the left. Seen as a bit tougher and not as 'squeaky clean' as the Left-Green Movement. The most well-known name in the party is Birgitta Jónsdóttir, who has already had one term in parliament, first as part of 'Citizen's Movement' and then 'Movement'."
In short, it's the fact that they already had an MP from a grassroots movement that is emphasized and that gives the pirates the space they need to succeed at taking themselves over the 5% barrier. With Birgitta's help they were able to be elected with three MP's.
The Pirate's next challenge was to prove that they weren't just some blip and that they could win elections without celebrity power, which they had a chance to do in the council elections in 2014. There they succeeded, with Halldór Auðar Svansson at the top of the list who was elected into Reykjavík City Council with 5.9%. Through participating in the new municipal government they showed that they were willing to take responsibility in future elections.
Today, the situation is different. The pirates have more candidates with parliamentary experience, and their prime ministerial candidate is Smari McCarthy. He isn't currently an MP, but Smari was one of the founders of the party and tops one of the lists for a constituency outside Reykjavik (something he also did in the last election when the pirates didn't reach 5% there). Birgitta remains a central figure in the party and currently proposed as a future speaker of the house for the next parliament. In general, more faces have been brought forward and the pirates are seen as a broad movement in Iceland. After one year of leading the opinion polls, the people of Iceland, and the pirates themselves, have gotten used to the idea that they will probably play a part in the next government.
I don't think I can emphasize enough how important it would be for the pirate movement globally to have a government with pirate ministers. So it is with great hope that I have packed my bags and booked my journey to Iceland. I flew there for a bit in September to get an idea of who they are and how they work, and I look forward to seeing them again in the coming days. And, of course, there will be a new post here after the election.

Bird Dogs Can't Fly
Blue is a hunting dog who hates to hunt. Every year he dreads picking up the dead ducks and carrying them back to the boat. One day Blue's owner takes aim at a line of geese. BANG! A goose drops to the ground. Blue finds Goose alive but unable to fly. He offers to help her walk to South, a place Goose describes as warm and wonderful. The two friends set out on their journey, but South is farther away than they had thought. Weeks pass and snow begins to fall. They are hopelessly lost, but Goose's wing has healed and she is ready to fly again. Poor Blue--he can't fly, even though he is a bird dog. Will Goose leave him?
The strong theme of friendship resonates throughout this warm, comfortable story with its soft pastel illustrations. – School Library Journal
Blue's visage clearly shows his canine sadness and delight, and the brightly colored details and bold backgrounds of the pictures aptly reflect the warmhearted feeling of the story. A tale of the ups and downs of friendship that will please the kindergarten set. – Booklist

Back in the day, sometime in the late 1970s to early 80s, I was quite a good little middle distance runner.
My heyday lasted just a year or so, when I was about 12 or 13. I was Shropshire county cross country champion, reached regional finals for 800m and 1500m, ran regularly for my local club (Shrewsbury & Atcham AC) and had an 800m PB of 2 mins 16 secs. Now I doubt I could break four minutes.
In those days parental involvement was muted. Any folks who showed a keen interest in their child's athletics development were viewed as pushy, needy and, frankly, pretty wierd.
My mum and dad, like most of my friends' parents, supported me by making sure I had the kit I needed, ferrying me to and from events when needed, giving me entry fees for races and asking me how my training was going. The last thing I wanted back then was for my parents to hang around while I was at training sessions with my friends, or for them to get involved in coaching or transport. Running was My Thing, something I did that was separate from school and family life.
Despite this adolescent insouciance, I recall with great clarity every single time my folks turned up at a race meeting to cheer me on. It only happened a handful of times, but obviously their presence meant a huge amount to me, even if at the time I would have died rather than tell them so.
Now, as a parent myself, I can't imagine being anything other than cheerleader-in-chief, photographer extraordinaire and manager supreme, should my boys discover their passion lies with a particular sport. I will be right there, every step of the way, just as I am with most anything they do. It would be frowned upon these days to be anything less.
I wonder if I would have shown the same passion back in the 70s and 80s, when parental involvement was not encouraged like it is now. I like to think so – I believe it is a Very Good Thing to share in and get involved in your children's activities.
But there is a fine line between encouragement and being overbearing; between supporting your child and putting undue pressure on them; between helping them and doing the work for them. (I also feel for the poor sods running the activities, usually as volunteers. Who'd choose to be a gym coach or kids' football team manager or Scout leader these days, faced with all those beady eyes scrutinising their every move and hanging on their every word?)
I know lots of parents who feel under enormous pressure to "conform" and be fascinated by every little thing their child does and says. It's not good enough these days to provide them with the opportunities – we have to share in and endure them as well. And if you suggest that, actually, it's pretty boring to sit through another choir practice or judo session, you may as well sign the kids over to social services.
I wasted an hour of my life yesterday attending an information session for new parents at the primary school where my youngest will start in September. While our little darlings were getting to know each other and their teacher, we were herded into the school hall to take part in some maths activities designed to help us help our children to master numbers.
Now, I think activities like this are really useful and full marks to the school for organising them (there are two more to come!) But having previously taken part in similar sessions for my firstborn, and having been a volunteer TA at the school working with children on this very topic, there was absolutely no need for me to stay. I could instead have used the time to pop home, have a cuppa, do some paperwork, ironing, anything. However, I felt compelled to stay, to show that I was a SUPPORTIVE PARENT, and to make sure my name was on The List. (You know, the one every teacher keeps, listing the parents who give a damn. Being on The List gives little Jonny a good chance of getting picked to be in the photo shoot in the local newspaper or of landing good parts in the school play. Come on, you know it's true.)
I'd like to get back to running now, which was intended to be the theme of today's blog. See how my little brain works, leaping from subject to subject in the blink of any eye? Try being in my mind for a day, it's fascinating.
So, by the time I turned 15 I had hung up my spikes. I didn't even go running for pleasure – I just called a complete halt. I went from running three or four times a week, plus races, to nothing. Nada. Zilch. I'd replaced the joys of pounding the streets with hanging about on them; swapped making myself breathless through endeavour for filling my lungs with cigarette smoke in a quest to be cool.
Over the last 10 years I have dabbled again in this most simple of exercises. Like my weight, my interest in running has yo-yo'ed dramatically over the past decade or so. I have completed a few 10k races, red faced but respectably not last; a few more 5k events; managed two or three triathlons; and even entered a half marathon before pulling out a few weeks before due to illness (and lack of training if truth be told.)
Earlier this year I decided I needed some support to get the most out of running, so signed up to a beginners' course for runners offered by Kidderminster & Stourport AC, from their fabulous new base at Stourport Sports Club.
I turned up on the first night, with some trepidation, to meet a roomful of like minded men and women. About half were fit enough to join one of the regular running groups immediately; the rest of us would be put through our paces more gently.
We were all manner of shapes and sizes. I'm always amazed to discover that people who are thinner and younger than me can't always run as far as me, but that's how it turned out.
Anyway, in exchange for £20 I enjoyed three sessions of running a week for eight weeks, led by Theresa and Pam, a funny and encouraging pair of coaches. I also go to meet some absolutely fab new friends and, perhaps most importantly, rediscovered my love of running. It's not helped me shed weight yet, but I think that will only come once I stop eating all the pies.
My new interest in running caused me to revisit the work of Haruki Murakami. Now I've loved the work of Murakami for years – his charming and gentle fantasies, his quirky view of the world, his strange, introverted characters and beautifully described scenes resonate with me like no other novelist. Murakami is also a lifetime runner. He has completed more than 25 marathons, several extreme long distance runs and, now in his 60s, continues to find solace and pleasure in running.
He has written a fabulous book, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running, which is an absolute joy. In it he explores the idea of running as something spiritual, something other than a means for keeping fit.
He describes how running is a skill that must be learned, practised and honed; something that requires inner strength and persistence. As someone seeking to improve on these aspects of my own personality, it resonates particularly powerfully.
Running is presented as a simple exercise that can be done anywhere, without equipment or preparation; but which somehow embraces all of the difficulties and challenges of life – the need for self discipline, for overcoming lack of willpower, the need for consistency, for being single-minded in pursuit of a goal.
I love Murakami's philosophy of life. He sees it as something simple that is made overly complex. He determines to live his simple life simply – running every day, writing every day, spending time with his loved ones, pursuing his goals, being alone when he feels like it, not wasting time with people he doesn't care about.
Running fascinates me. I like how it works its magic – how the act of running can help me turn trouble and confusion in my mind into clarity.
When I hit the road, get into a gentle rhythm and my breathing and footfalls come together in harmony, I develop uncanny focus. The insurmountable becomes achieveable, I spot a way round a sticking point. Don't get me wrong, it's not always like that. Running can be annoying, frustrating and very painful. Sometimes I drag myself round the block and come back wondering what the hell I was doing. But it's worth it for those special moments and for the way it can make you feel so good.
When my running is going well, I'm flying along, seeming to barely touch the pavement. I feel just as I guess I did when I was 13 and loved the sensation of running. It's a great way to feel alive, fit and healthy.
When it goes badly it reminds me that I'm out of shape and not getting any younger. But, as Murakami so masterfully describes it: "Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional." A good philosophy for life too.
I'm off for a run now…look out for me!

Les Kincaid's Wines du Jour Live Radio Broadcast Showcases Baja's Gastronomy
by Carla White
Les Kincaid is his name and gastronomy is his game…as it has been since he started his professional cooking career at the age of 14. Admittedly, his first job in the culinary industry was less than glamorous — he made burgers for Winn's Drive Inn, south of San Francisco. And it took him a couple of weeks to get the hang of it. However, from this modest beginning, Les Kincaid has become a renowned gastronomist and today authors, teaches, and hosts a syndicated radio program called Wines du Jour that is carried on more than 450 radio stations, every cable company in the United States, and listened to throughout the world. On Thursday, March 28, he will broadcast live from the Rosarito Beach Hotel in Rosarito, Baja California, from 7-8 p.m. The public is invited to purchase tickets for the program and be part of the tasting event.
According to Les, his goals are to try and get everyone to expand his or her recipe repertoire, and to promote good wine and good food wherever and whenever he finds it. He has definitely found it in Baja California, which is why he decided to host the radio show along with a food and wine pairing. Typically, on the Wines du Jour program, an upscale restaurant is selected as the program venue and then a specific winery is invited to pair its wines with three of the restaurant's featured menu items. For his upcoming show at the Rosarito Beach Hotel, he will be focusing on the renowned wines of the Valle de Guadalupe's Adobe Guadalupe Vineyards & Inn and the cuisine of the hotel's Master Chef Eric Saenz. Adobe Guadalupe's wines from Baja's wine country will accompany five dishes including seafood, beef, chicken and pork.
Les has lived in Las Vegas, Nevada, since 1978 and firmly believes that it is the best city in the United States in which to reside; he is, however, also growing fond of Baja California, and notes that he was pretty surprised to learn that the region now boasts upwards of 80 wineries.
"The concept of 'culinary' has expanded," he says in regard to the Baja region. "I am so impressed with Hugo Torres, the Secretary of Tourism Juan Tintos, Jean Loup Bitterlin (El Rey Sol restaurant) and all of the people who are bringing awareness to this area!" Maybe it's just the Las Vegas connection talking…but it is almost a sure bet that Wines du Jour and Les Kincaid will help bring even more attention to this booming culinary region and to Baja's gastronomy.
How to attend Les Kincaid's Wines du Jour broadcast and tastings: Cost for the five wine tastings and five food pairings is $15 per person. Seating is limited so early reservations are suggested. For reservations please contact Patricia Orozco at salesmanager@
How to find out more about Les Kincaid: Visit Les Kincaid's website, https://leskincaid.com/
This is just a taste of spring events and Baja's Gastronomy at the Rosarito Beach Hotel & Resort. Plus, those who want to turn an event into a mini-vacation can reserve oceanfront rooms from $79 per night on weekends.

January 23, 2014 by Kyle Wood
JASPER, Texas - The conditions on Sam Rayburn right now are great - the water levels are just a few feet shy of normal pool and the grass is plentiful, The only thing missing from this equation is a great bite. On a normally prolific fishery, anglers seem optimistic for the start of the 2014 Rayovac FLW Series Texas Division.
Clouds, wind and cool weather (nearly 20 degrees lower than the previous week) greeted the field at takeoff on legendary Sam Rayburn which generally leads to great fishing on this pond. However, the fish are in their winter patterns and it seems if the recent arctic blasts and fishing pressure are taking their toll on the lake.
"There are plenty of people complaining, huh?" laughed Kellogg's Rice Krispies Treats pro Jim Tutt who won a Central Division event here back in 2002. "It's going to be interesting that's for sure. Fishing has been really tough lately. I have been here since last Friday and I have had one good day of fishing. I just haven't found the fish bunched up. Typically you can find them in a little drain in the grass and they are loaded, but I haven't seen that."
A lot of the focus this week will be on the Rat-L-Trap bite in the grass around the 147 bridge area - one of the most well-known patterns on Rayburn.
"The lake actually fishes small for just how big it is," continued Tutt. "The really good grass gets hit pretty hard. But the great thing about trapping is that when you do get a bite this time of the year it's usually a good one. I think we will see at least one 10-pounder caught today.
"The grass is looking good and you can find it growing out to about 8 feet. The water has come up some and that has caused some of the grass to die off, but there is still plenty of good stuff. I love this lake, I love this time of the year and I love throwing a trap. I have five tied on and I'm not going to do anything different."
Along with lipless crankbaits, squarebills will also receive attention from the pros fishing shallow. Carolina rigs and football jigs will be standouts for the anglers who opt to fish deep.
"The deep fish out in 25 to 30 feet will play a role in this tournament," said Chevy pro Jay Yelas. "The guys that know their deep brush should do well and I think it could be won that way."
When you hear one of the best shallow anglers to ever grace the sport of bass fishing say something like that you take notice. Yelas used to call Rayburn home for several years earlier on in his career and knows what it takes to do well.
"I looked around deep a little during practice," Yelas went on to say. "I'd find some fish one day and they'd be gone the next because the bait would move. I just haven't been around the lake enough lately to really know what those fish do so I plan to fish my style and stay shallow.
"This is still my all-time favorite lake to fish. I haven't fished a tournament since October so this is more of an excuse to break in my new Z520C Ranger and Mercury and get warmed up for the FLW Tour in a few weeks. I guess you could say it is a fishing version of spring training.
"The fishing definitely isn't easy right now but I like the way it is. Winter time is feast or famine on this lake. I bet half the field will struggle today. Now, with that being said I still think that Rayburn will show off for us."
Neither angler wanted to throw out guesses on weights for the event but both did agree that the big bag could push 30 pounds. Depending on the weather it could take between 60 and 75 pounds to bring home the title.
Tournament logistics
Anglers will take off from the Umphrey Family Pavilion located at 5438 RR 255 W. in Brookeland, Texas, at 7:30 a.m. each day. Weigh-in will be held at the takeoff location on Thursday and Friday beginning at 3 p.m. Saturday's final weigh-in will be held at Walmart located at 800 W. Gibson St. in Jasper, Texas, beginning at 4 p.m. Takeoffs and weigh-ins are free and open to the public.
Pros will fish for a top award of $40,000 plus a Ranger Z518C with a 200-horsepower Evinrude or Mercury outboard if Ranger Cup guidelines are met. Co-anglers will cast for a top award consisting of a Ranger Z117 with 90-horsepower Evinrude or Mercury outboard and $5,000 if Ranger Cup guidelines are met.
The Rayovac FLW Series consists of five divisions - Central, Northern, Southeast, Texas and Western. Each division consists of three tournaments and competitors will be vying for valuable points in each division that could earn them the opportunity to fish in the Rayovac FLW Series Championship. The 2014 Rayovac FLW Series Championship is being held Oct. 30-Nov. 1 on Wheeler Lake in Rogersville, Ala.
The Rayovac FLW Series tournament on Sam Rayburn Reservoir is being hosted by the Jasper-Lake Sam Rayburn Chamber of Commerce.
