Helen Spaull of the Noah Foundation took this photo of Leif Utne of Zanby and I in the Big Tent at Tallberg. He and I were part of a mentoring programme this year - perhaps that's why I look so serious?... more >
Just in from 4-5 days at the Tallberg Forum in Sweden. much better than last time I was there, a couple of years back. Met a fair few people I knew, and many I didn't - including Leif Utne of Zanby, who seemed to Twitter non-stop. We mutually mentored. I took a couple of lovely walks down by the lake, one with Wouter van Dieren and his wife Jeanette.... more >
If this is climate change, then - terrible thing to say - there are moments when I rather like it. Sadly, though, the mood here at the Tällberg Forum is often closer to that you might find in a small village as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse ride in.... more >
As I pack for Sweden, several wonderful days of celebration come to an end, both of my first 60 years and of the first year of Volans, a milestone we passed on 1 April. A number of photos taken during the Bloomsbury Place party last night appear below, taken by several people - including Sam - with my camera.... more >
Sam and Patrin came armed with legions of extraordinary cup-cakes to the party this evening, some more extraordinary than others.... more >
Gaia and Hania came across today, bearing gifts - including a box of two wonderful red wines: Bohorquez 2005 from Spain, and Pleiades XVI, made by Sean Thackeray in Bolinas, California. As one wine retailer says of the latter, "Named for the Pleiades star cluster (also called the Seven Sisters) this wine is a blend of syrah, sangiovese, mourvèdre, barbera, carignane, petite sirah and viognier, among others. Thackrey blends by taste and doesn't keep track of the fruit that ends up in each blend so it's different from year to year. Juicy fruit, earth and Thackrey's signature eucalyptus note." Haven't go to that yet, but a glorious day - am inclining to having my 60th birthday every year.... more >
Like the late Peter Townsend, but less directly, Ralf Dahrendorf was a prominent feature in the landscape when I was doing my BA and M.Phil. But I have had a lot more pleasure from Huey Long, whose obituary appears in The Times today, who has just died at the age of 105 - and who played for eight months in 1945 with one of my favourite musical groups, the Inkspots. Lovely face. Played all the tracks on my IPod this morning in celebration of his passing. Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall, which also features Ella Fitzgerald, is one of the tracks on the compilation of music I had already recorded to play on Monday evening.... more >

After breakfast with colleagues from Singapore's Economic Development Board, who are a strategic partner of ours at Volans, I walked back to the office to finish off some writing, do a couple of meetings and then begin tidying up ahead of Monday. One of the things I did was to pin up all the painting and drawings that an American teacher, Vicki Wade, had sent me - done by her class in Alexandria, Virginia, on the basis on our long-ago book for children, Going Green. Fabulous images, thoughts and sentiments. She and successive generations of her students have done this each year for absolute ages.... more >
Flew in from Sao Paulo this afternoon, via TAM, after a few days at the annual Instituto Ethos conference on corporate social responsibility. I did a panel session yesterday, chaired by Simon Zadek of AccountAbility and also featuring Fernando Martins of Grupo Santander and Ricardo Henriques, advisor to the President of BNDES, the Brazilian Development Bank. Our session was enitled: 'Global Crisis: Can a new financial system drive the economy towards a sustainable society?' My central question was whether the government-moderated economic crisis will be enough to spur transformative changes in our basic economic model - too early to say, but sadly maybe not. Then a very interesting meeting with several people from Braskem. The previous evening, took part in a wonderful dinner with the members of the International Board of Ethos.... more >
When I switched from economics to sociology at university in 1968, Peter Townsend was one of my professors - and had quite an impact on my sensibilities. Sad to see his obituary today in The Times when I got back from Aberdeen.... more >
Shocked to see the graphic illustration of the precipitous collapse of spawning cod stocks in the North Sea in the Financial Times Magazine for June 6-7, which had been hanging around in a stack of unread magazines due to my recent travel. One of the triggers for the piece was the new film, The End of the Line: Imagine a Worth Without Fish. Linked to Charles Clover's book of the same name.... more >
A fairly energetic day in Paris, where I arrived last night, staying again at the Hotel Bellechasse. Then around the corner to an advisory board meeting with EcoVadis, before heading across after lunch to UNESCO for a meeting with Liz Longworth and colleagues. Delighted to see such things as a Calder mobile outside and a large photograph of a whaleshark in the lobby. Jonah Goldstein also took me to see the Picasso mural, which he noted hadn't been signed by the artist - I said I wasn't surprised, the painting didn't strike me as that wonderful. But then I spotted the central figure as we rounded a pillar - and exclaimed that, given my interest in flight and Homo volans, this was perfect, a falling angel. Icarus, Jonah explained.... more >
Back from Brazil this morning, finding it hard to forget the fate of AF447 - particularly when the flight out on Monday night hit quite an air pocket part-way out. Was speaking at the Ethanol Summit 2009, in São Paulo. Missed Bill Clinton's speech, sadly, but enjoyed my panel with Lord (John) Browne (previously BP) and José Sergio Gabrielli de Azevado, President of Petrobras. Recently wrote a letter to the Harvard Business Review in the wake of an HBR article by Gabrielli on the 'greening' of the giant Brazilian oil company. There's no doubt that progress has been made, but the company's recent behaviour in its spat with Instituto Ethos, where I sit on the International Board, has been disturbing.... more >

Saturday Sermon: The Failure of Religion
In the last verses of Romans 2, the Apostle Paul relates the "failure of religion because of the terrible beauty of the Law" to the need for a regenerate heart.
Saturday Sermon: Heart of Darkness
In the Garden of Eden, Eve is tempted to put her own desires ahead of God's call for her life. The serpent tells her that if she eats of the fruit she can become like God: she, in essence, can become the master of her own fate.
Saturday Sermon: The First Wedding Day
The ordained and blessed tradition of marriage is established in Genesis 2: 18-25. This passage communicates important ideas, Dr. Keller affirms, about both marriage seeking and marriage executing. When considered, these concepts will allow one to be successful in both areas.
Saturday Sermons: The Garden of God
Genesis 2:2-17 places an interesting emphasis on work—not only does God work to bring about all creation, but also, man is called to the task of caring for God's world.
Hydrology of the Bow River
There's a word beneath the water, and the Bow River belongs to God. Have you been listening?

Evolution and Christian Faith Grantees Announced
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
Where are the Transitional Fossils?
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
Scientists Tell Their Stories: George Murphy
During his seminary education, Dr. Murphy also gained a deeper understanding of Luther's theology of the cross, and he realized that it's really the best way to approach the science and theology dialogue.
Series: Decoding ENCODE
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
David Lack and Darwin's Finches
Considering the immense popularity of "Darwin's finches", it is quite surprising to learn that Charles Darwin himself had very little to say about them. In fact, it was actually David Lack, one century later, who conducted the critical research that immortalized the finches in biology textbooks and popular lore.
Series: Creation, Evolution, and Christian Laypeople
The six-part series by Dr. Keller considers three main clusters of questions lay people raise with their pastors when introduced to the teaching that biological evolution and biblical orthodoxy can be compatible. As a pastor and evangelist, Keller takes these concerns seriously and offers suggestions for addressing them without requiring believers to adopt a particular view or accept a definitive answer.
Is There "Junk" in Your Genome? Part 4
Now that we have covered significant ground with respect to what various classes of pseudogenes are and how they arise, we are now able to properly evaluate antievolutionary arguments put forward in an attempt to discredit these lines of evidence for evolution.
Where is the Genetic Evidence for Evolution?
The discovery of DNA has revolutionized our understanding of common descent, particularly in the past few decades. Mutated genes spread through populations over generations, leading to evolutionary change. In this podcast, we look at several examples of genetic evidence for evolution.
Series: Evidences for Evolution
This technical series, co-written by Darrel Falk and David Kerk, looks into the evidence for evolution in order to dispel doubts that people may have about this well-supported theory. They look at three things specifically: the separate methods which reveal of the age of the earth, the unfolding history of whale evolution, and finally the common trends of heart development in vertebrates.
Series: Understanding Evolution
This blog series by Dennis Venema undertakes the task of clarifying numerous aspects of evolution that often become misconstrued by Christians. He first discusses the idea of speciation in a population over time, later applying it to the speciation process that occurred among hominids (human ancestors) which led to modern humans. He continues to support this idea by exploring so called "Mitochondrial Eve,""Y Chromosome Adam" and other compositional clues of the human genome.
Series: New Limbs from Old Fins
Stephen Matheson presents common descent by evolution as the best explanation for the universal pattern found in tetrapod limbs. He discusses initially the evolution and development of limbs in specifically vertebrate tetrapods. He looks at the question of origins and further digs into amazing fossil discoveries. He then gives evidence of evolution from fish to tetrapods by discussing the similarities in the anatomy, development, and genetic systems associated with this amazingly common pattern in vertebrate appendages.
Art, Worship, Creation, and Imaginative Engagement
We should not be ashamed of the fact that our faith integrates spirit and body; our faith calls us to regard the stuff of creation in all of its materiality as good, and thus offers the best starting point for the practice and pleasure of art.
The Crutch
Providing the crutch for non-believers to lean on is a well-intentioned strategic error that has no benefit and likely does much harm. However, I am even more concerned about something else related to our construction of these crutches.
Series: The Cambrian "Explosion", Transitional Forms, and the Tree of Life
Many evolutionary critics have identified the Cambrian Explosion as a stumbling block to the theory of evolution, arguing that the "expected transitions between major invertebrate phyla are absent, and that the suddenness of their appearance in the fossil record demonstrates that evolutionary explanations are not viable." Keith Miller argues that the Cambrian Explosion is not so problematic as these opponents claim after all.
Does the Slippery Slope Always Go to the Left?
In this video Conversation, N.T. Wright responds to a question from a BioLogos Forum reader who notes that in the world of evangelical Christianity there seems to be a great suspicion about becoming too politically liberal, but few worries about becoming too conservative.

& for the record yes I know Sonic Youth were relevant in 91. I did own Goo & Dirty come the release of Nevermind & much to my elation the SY/Nirvana bond was forged.
Vote other for SY's Dirty.
The more I keep thinking about it there were so many damn good albums in 91.
The Cure released Wish (my fave of the Cure)
I'm sure the Sugarcubes released something that year.
Swervedriver released Raise
Pixies Trompe Le Monde (my fave of the Pixies)
Dinosaur Jr. Green Mind
Soundgarden Badmotorfinger
Rage Against the Machine debut
RHCP Blood Sugar Sex Magic
I'm sure I'm missing many more. That was a great year to be 15. I'm glad I was in my teens that year. & thanks dad for taking me & my friends to see the Cure & Sonic Youth that year.

They brought alternative music (as it was called then, before indie was really a general term) to the masses & mainstream. Nothing on the charts was evenlly remotely close to what Nirvana sounded like. I get so tired of all the metal gods bitching about how Nirvana dethroned them. When Nirvana came out metal was already dead with the exception of GnR & they were on the way out too. Mainstream music was chock full of R&B groups lame hip hop groups. Exciting things were definately happening in underground rap & hip hop but mainstream music on radio & television was absolutely disgusting. I remember "college radio" music being the term to describe many of the bands we talk about before "alternative" was even a term.
I even remember 120 minutes "on MTV every sunday from 12 a.m.-2a.m.) had the top "college music radio" hits of the week. It was so awesome to have a generic label for underground music. Now we've got all these sub genres & they all make my head spin sometime trying to determine the correct genre(s). I miss the simple days.
ughhhh nivana
Big Boi/Killer Mike - 5/20 - Rialto Theatre
The Black Angels - 5/22 - Hotel Congress
Devo - 5/24 - Rialto Theatre
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - 5/30 - Rialto Theatre
I was 13 in 91...I was definitely more into Pennywise and NOFX.
Smashing Pumpkins - Gish
In retrospect, arguably their best work. Also Sub Pop's first big release (yes, it was released before Nevermind).
Listen to 'Slip inside this house', then come back and vote.
ATCQ, the best Hip Hop act ever. Thats right I said ever, these guy are so underrated it makes me sad.
Low End Theory, though Spiderland is close. Can't believe it only got one vote...

I made some more fan art, this one from my favorite line in Jami Attenberg's The Middlesteins. I loved Edie, and even though food was ultimately her downfall, there was something beautiful about her hearty enjoyment of it, which this line sums up perfectly.
(I know the pub date for The Middlesteins isn't until the end of October, but this was too good not to share immediately.)
I can't wait for The MIddlesteins to finally hit the world! We'll be celebrating it here in early November — stay tuned for details, but food is definitely a part of it.

Condor: Ibiza to Frankfurt
- Depart: Ibiza, Spain (IBZ)
- Arrive: Frankfurt, Germany - Frankfurt Intl (FRA)
- Website: condor.com
About this flight
The carrier: Condor
Owned by Thomas Cook, Condor is a massive airline operation. Condor connects German airports to southern Europe, with a destination map that extends to Africa, Asia and the Americas. In 1971, Condor was the world's first leisure airline to use a Boeing 747 in its fleet. Note: Many of Condor's flights are essentially charter flights ferrying vacation package holders away or back home.
Great connections within Europe and beyond. Unlike other airlines, Condor usually allows reservation changes without the nasty fees.
Many routes are flown infrequently. Old planes.
• Carry-on: One item, up to 6 kg, plus laptop.
• Checked: Limits vary according to length of trip, but you're allowed between 20-30 kg of stuff. Excess baggage will be charged $1 per kg.
* Please visit Condor's website for more information on its baggage policy.
You can reserve seats in advance by paying €10 on one-way flights, €20 for returns. You can choose your seats online as soon as you book the flight. If you wait, you can select your seat when checking in online, starting 24 hours prior to departure (prices are the same). If you wait until 12 hours before your flight, though, you can select a seat free when checking in online. And, free seat reservations are always available for small children and the disabled.
Check-in and Ticketing
Online check-in is available for several German airports, excluding flights to the US and Canada. It is available between 24hours and 2 hours before departure. It is available for passengers with and without checked baggage.
In the event that you know you'll be lugging around much more than 20-30 kg, book a "baggage allowance package". Fees apply. For example, an extra 5 kilos will cost you anywhere from $52-104 depending on the flight.
Fun Fact
To get your vacation off to a good start, Condor invites you to have a welcome cocktail – a "heavenly delight". Choose from popular cocktails like vodka bitter lemon, gin tonic, Campari orange and from non-alcoholic beverages.
more...Departure: Ibiza, Spain (IBZ)
Ibiza Airport serves the Balearic islands of Ibiza and Formentera, used virtually by all people who arrive at or depart from these islands. Ibiza airport is characterized by the seasonal nature of its demand by tourists. It also offers very important scheduled inter-island and mainland traffic, with flights centering on business hubs, such as Barcelona and Madrid-Barajas.
Ibiza Airport is located 7.5 km from the capital and is well connected to the most important tourist centers of the island.
• Bus: Outside the terminal, travelers can catch the Ibizabus line 10 that runs between the city center and airport.
• Taxi: Radiotaxi offers service to the center of town (about 20 minutes). These taxis can be found next to the terminal.
At the airport, there is an information desk as well as a passenger service office and tourism desk in the Arrivals Area. Airport financial facilities include ATMs, a post office, currency exchange, and a bank. Before and after security there are various shops, restaurants and cafes (mostly on the first floor). Other airport facilities include first aid, a pharmacy, and a chapel.
more...Arrival: Frankfurt, Germany - Frankfurt Intl (FRA)
In Brief: Germany's busiest airport, Frankfurt International ranks third within Europe in terms of passenger traffic. Unlike some other of Europe's bigger airports, there is not a separate terminal for low-cost airlines. There are, in fact, not a huge number of budget airlines offering flights in and out of Frankfurt, but those that do are distributed across terminals. Air Berlin, Clickair, and Niki fly to Frankfurt International. Transportation: The best way between the airport and the Frankfurt main train station is by S-Bahn. A one-way journey costs just €3.55 and takes about 10 minutes.

It's that time again - yes, it's recipe time and this one is sure to be a huge hit with both kids and adults alike. After all, who doesn't like malted milk balls!
1 box of yellow cake mix
4 tablespoons of Ovaltine malt powder
2 cups of malted milk balls, such as Whoppers, finely chopped
24 whole malted milk balls
Make the yellow cake mix up according to the directions on the box. Then thoroughly stir in the malt powder and 1 cup of the chopped malted milk balls. Put into your cupcake liners and bake according to the directions on the cake box until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Beat the remaining chopped malted milk balls into your chosen frosting (a vanilla buttercream will work well here). Once cool, frost your cupcakes and then top each one with a whole malted milk ball.
Can you say yummy!

Here's my writing about writing for this week. There were posts on effective and easy to read blog posts, advice from John Pierce, and this week's selection of posts and articles to give you "The Writing Edge."
Blog Posts: Tips and Wisdom
Two great sources of short posts are tips from you and wisdom from others. Be careful, though, it's easy to over-commit.
Advice from the Masters: John Pierce
John Pierce was a great engineer and some of advice to engineers is also great advice for writers.
5/17/13: The Writing Edge for Business Writers
You may not think of yourself as a writer, but you know that writing well can boost your results and your career. Naturally, you want to do better. Here are some recent blog posts and articles that might help. This week I'm pointing you to pieces on building a relationship with your audience, digital book signings, the Ten Commandments of Twitter, and five must-have apps for writers.
You'll find my writing about leadership and talent development on my Three Star Leadership Blog.
Current Client Projects
I'm writing blog posts for two clients. I'm helping working on a book about what Professor Clay Christensen says could be "more important than disruption." I'm writing a training manual for a client and coaching two authors through the process of writing and publishing their first book.
If you're interested in writing a book, hiring someone to write for you, or just improving your own writing, you should read my Zero Draft blog about the writing that makes a business or career grow.
If you want to get a book done or improve your writing, let's talk about options. My coaching calendar currently has space open.

A Springfield man has been arrested after allegedly stealing nearly $13,000 from his place of employment.
Police arrested 24-year-old Isaac Copi, night manager of the North Dirksen Steak 'N Shake, after the restaurant's bank notified its owners of several discrepancies spanning the last month.
Security footage allegedly shows Copi slipping something into his pocket from the safe on September 25th, when more than fifteen-hundred dollars was reported missing. Copi was the only employee on duty at the time.
That alleged theft was one of ten recorded between this Tuesday and September 1st.

The following post is from Amy Duncan, Nice Ride superfan and reborn bicycling enthusiast. Here's her story.
The last time I rode a bike was in the '70's. I had a tricked out bike for sure. Banana seat, handle bar tassles – training wheels. When the training wheels came off, the bicycle went to the garage and never came out again. In fact, I never touched a bike again. Until last year.
As an employee of The City of Minneapolis, I was eligible for a subsidized Nice Ride 1-Year Subscription. Devoted to employee's wellness and well being, The City of Minneapolis has partnered with Nice Ride Minnesota to offer this benefit to all their employees. I was intrigued. What if I could figure out how to ride a bike without falling off within 11 feet? Could I conceivably use Nice Ride as a commuting option? I was excited about this and decided to find out. My partner rode a bike regularly, maybe I could too! I signed up and became one of Nice Ride's inaugural subscribers in September 2010.
I wasn't nervous. The City of Minneapolis had provided a ton of information about Nice Ride and how the system works. Bike maps, system information, subscription information. It was all there. And no parking hassles or gas worries? I just had to get on the bike and ride.
I gave up my car seven years ago, so I was used to walking from my Elliot Park apartment to the City of Minneapolis offices at City Hall, but now I had a faster and more convenient way to commute. I pulled out my Nice Ride key, unlocked a bike, adjusted the seat, and hopped on. Was I really riding? Yes, I was! Comfortably positioned on the oh-so-comfortable seat, smoothly pedaling and squeezing the sophisticated braking levers, I briefly thought about those handlebar tassles from long ago, and said, "no, this is absolutely better." From that day forward, I've considered the bike to be my number one commuting option. I learned to ride a bike again and 100 percent of my success belongs to Nice Ride. I can now ride anywhere for miles and miles (to which I am still slightly in shock about) both on a Nice Ride and on my own bike.
And I don't just use the bike to commute. Sometimes I take the long way home just for fun. I ride for both leisure and to run errands in Uptown, Midtown, Northeast, and around the lakes. I might even try a ride to St. Paul in the next few months.
Even though this year I purchased my own bike, I'm still a Nice Ride 1-Year Subscriber. It comes in handy when I need a one-way ride. Like when it rains—I hate riding in the rain. (It's true, we're not all hard core cyclists). Plus, I don't have to worry about a bike lock or maintenance.
I also like the more active lifestyle Nice Ride offers and I'm happy I finally caught up to my partner's passion for biking. Nice Ride definitely can create healthier people and give them a chance at a longer life. You just got to get moving! It's so easy to hop from here to there with Nice Ride. Just get away from your desk and on to the bike!
What would I change about Nice Ride? Not a thing! I'm pretty much a SuperFan. Well, maybe add some handlebar tassles.

DDoS cripples Bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox after trading resumes
Update at 6:15 a.m. PT Friday: Bitcoin's tumble continued after trading resumed. As of now, the digital currency is trading at $69.
Less than two hours after the resumption of Bitcoin trades following a lengthy suspension, currency exchange Mt. Gox is offline, the apparent victim of a distributed-denial-of-service attack.
"We are experiencing a stronger than usual DDoS," the Tokyo-based exchange said tonight in a Google+ post. "We are working in it."

This summer Pinkeye has been quite active designing for Coca-Cola to expose the brand in different sales and experience channels.
Pinkeye designs graphics for Fanta NWEN (spanning 11 countries) on a regular basis. In some cases we even design the toolkit to use the visuals to ensure a consistent use of images, logotypes, colour schemes, layout and typography across different geographical regions.
Proud to announce the birth of Kasimir Junior! We launched Kasimir, the cutest cheese grater on the planet, a couple years ago in collaboration with Koziol. Now also available in miniature edition, in a variety of colors. Go buy one for your momma, it's almost Christmas!
To revive one of its rooms, Antwerp's well-established nightclub Noxx called in design studio Pinkeye.
Their approach? Bringing light back to the dance floor.
We designed the packaging for a line extension of babyfood giant Olvarit who added a breakfast cereal for toddlers to their line-up
Retail design + office design + shop design, that's what we needed to redesign the OZ headoffice in Antwerp. In total 1020 m2 was transformed into a spacious and welcoming hospitality environment. Health care couldn't be more beautiful than this!
Pinkeye's ambitious new office reflects the attitude and work approach of the growing crossover design studio – and it looks good, too.
Last summer, a remarkable sneaker store opened its doors in the centre of Antwerp. Working on an extremely tight budget, the team at PINKEYE were challenged to decorate the space.
At Wasbar, a hip launderette in Ghent, you can combine washing your clothes with having a haircut, a fresh coffee or a chilled beer.
Pinkeye excels in creating total design concepts that grasp the consumer's attention with their form, their function, and the emotion they exude. In short: formfunctionfeeling.
These 3 are linked at all times as the magical combo that reinforces or even improves the brand experience.
Their hybrid team combines the best out of different worlds: they take pride in their geek status mixed with a worldly class. Dodging single-track-mindedness and mixing it up with the versatile mad skills on board, Pinkeye mutated into a winning crossover design army that just makes it work.
Split up into departments, Pinkeye features an Environment department producing interiors, permanent and temporary, an Identity department dreaming up packaging and graphics, and a Product department going back to their original product design roots.
All of this targeting one goal: translating brand values into custom made functional and innovative concepts.
Some of Pinkeye's happy customers are Coca-Cola, P&G, Sara Lee, Estee Lauder, VF Europe, Duvel/Moortgat, Start People, Connections, Kraft, ...

A silver lining for skate ace Dena Faye
11:02am Tuesday 17th July 2012 in Sport By Steve Tinniswood, Sports reporter
Blackburn skater Dena Faye Spencer is jumping for joy after securing a silver medal at the British Solo Ice Dance Championships.
The 12-year-old, who has been skating at the Blackburn Ice Arena since she was five, came second out of 40 girls from across the country in the Pre Novice Ladies event.
In what was her first national competition, Dena performed two compulsory dances and a 90-second free dance routine at iceSheffield, where she finished just three points behind the eventual winner.
The talented youngster, who has the Welsh Championships to look forward to in October, said: "Participating in my first major competition was a great experience and to finish second was better than I could ever have expected."
The Blackburn Arena had four other skaters competing in the Championships, with Faye Hammer finishing eighth in the Junior event, Louise Smith coming ninth in the Novice category, while Emily Rose Brown and Jennifer Cairns finished ninth and 23rd respectively in the Pre Novice event.

Derek Shifflett, 20, of Verona, is charged with robbery. Photo courtesy: newsleader.com
Updated: Wednesday, 09 Jan 2013, 9:19 AM EST
Published : Wednesday, 09 Jan 2013, 9:19 AM EST
VERONA, Va. (AP) - A family dog is credited for discovering an envelope filled with stolen cash that led to the arrest of a Verona man.
The News-Leader reports 20-year-old Derek Shifflett turned himself in Monday night and was charged with robbery.
Augusta County sheriff's Sgt. David Lotts says Shifflett is suspected of posting a bogus car sales ad on Craiglist. After meeting with a prospective buyer on Monday, Shifflett allegedly took an envelope containing $12,000 in cash from the man's coat pocket and fled.
Lotts says a woman whose son is friends with Shifflett called police after her dog found the envelope underneath a bed and began playing with it.
It wasn't immediately known whether Shifflett had a lawyer. An Augusta County Jail shift commander was unavailable for comment Tuesday night.

The Development of an ASTM Standard Analytical Method for the Determination of Oxygen in Steel Pages: 7 Published: Jan 1988
Download this paper for $25
View License Agreement Efforts towards the development of a standard procedure for the determination of 5 to 50 ppm of oxygen in steel are described. This work is being carried out by ASTM committee E03 on Chemical Analysis of Metals, in cooperation with committee A-1 on Steel, Stainless Steel and Related Alloys. Data from three interlaboratory studies that have been carried out over the last six years are compared and improvement in the overall uncertainty of the proposed standard procedure is demonstrated. The various sources contributing to the uncertainty of oxygen measurements, including sample inhomogeneity and sample preparation procedures, are discussed, and suggestions for minimizing uncertainty are given. A short history of progress in Subcommittee E03.01 and suggestions for possible future courses of action are given. |

As we finish our work on the Summer 2012 issue of Spin-Off (which will be mailing out the end of May and on newsstands mid-June), I can't help but think about how magically everything works out. Much like starting a project, often we have an idea of what an issue will be, but ultimately the final product isn't quite what we expected.
How often have you started with roving thinking what the perfect end use will be only to realize as you spin it wants to be something else? Often articles evolve as new details are explored by the author during the writing process. Sometimes new angles to the story come to light. Much like the colors and fiber blends of a carded batt, a magazine is a compilation that blends in sometimes in delightfully unexpected ways. As the issue comes together, the articles themselves work together, interrelating and complementing each other, or setting each other apart, creating contrasts and differing views.
As I mentioned before, our upcoming Summer issue takes a look at portable spinning (and projects) with a focus on spindles. As is often the case, the final line up of this issue is different than we expected six months ago when we were "finalizing" the content. Some articles didn't work out, some gems were discovered along the way, and some were created to round things out.
If you like the idea of focusing on spindles, then you'll enjoy learning about Russian-style lace spindles and a fun and fast way to Navajo-ply as you spin on a spindle. But don't worry if spindles aren't your thing—there are plenty of articles that are useful for spinning on a wheel as well as non-tool specific topics such as taking a closer look at the role of crimp in comfort.
We hope as you receive the Summer issue in your mailbox or explore it on the newsstand or at your local shop, you are as delighted as we are with how it all came together.
Spin on,

Gasification Workshop Weekend: March 30 - April 1, Berkeley CA
Posted 05 March 2012 - 06:42 AM
Gasifier Power System Showcase: 10kw, 20kw & 100kw, GEK building and running, More Lister spark conversion
Gasification Lecture and Demo: Friday, March 30, 7:30-9:30PM
Building, Running and and Testing: Saturday and Sunday, March 30 and April 1, 11am – 7pm
Location: ALL Power Labs, 1010 Murray Street. Berkeley, CA
Contact: sales ^at^ allpowerlabs.org
Cost: Free for GEK owners. $100 otherwise http://www.gekgasifi...rkshop/sign-up/
RSVP to: http://gekgasifier.c...-1-berkeley-ca/
More Info: http://gekgasifier.c...bout/workshops/
Join us at ALL Power Labs in Berkeley CA, March 30 - April 1 for the next in our long running series of Biomass Gasification workshop weekends. It has been way too long since our last gathering (nearly 9 months), so come and see all we've been up to in the interim. Repeat visitors might not even recognize the place . . . it's a factory now, with a continuous production line!
The purpose of these workshops is to help bring more people to successful operation of small scale gasifiers, to serve real world distributed energy needs. These workshops are open to GEK and Power Pallet user/owners, as well as anyone with any other type of gasifier- or just a budding interest in the general endeavor. If you have a GEK and want personal instruction in how to run it, or you want to build one with oversight from the mothership, this workshop will be a great opportunity to do either. If you want to see one of the turnkey Power Pallets running in person, or poke around our scrap pile to see from where we've come, all will be on view for your consideration.
The workshop begins with an evening talk by APL Director, Jim Mason, on the science of gasification and a survey of its engineering history. This is followed by two full days of hands-on projects, demonstrations, and general wrench turning. As usual, the weekend will offer multiple projects running in parallel, all open for you to wander between and enjoy.
We expect about 75 people for the weekend. If you are camping inclined, there is plenty of office space to spread out a sleeping bag for free. We also have many visitors coming from overseas. If you need help with visas or travel logistics, please inquire and we'll help as we can.
The projects for this round are as follows:
1. Gasifier Power System Showcase: 10kw, 20kw and 100kw
T'he latest versions of both the 10kw and 20kw Power Pallets will be on site and running throughout the weekend. There is no formal endurance run this round, as we've done this multiple times already. Also, Bear is tired and doesn't want to tend power pallets all night again . . . This round we'll focus on operational instructions, fuel specification and general inquiries on how to deploy these units in real world scenarios. We are getting many people looking to do large scale commercial deployments with the Power Pallet, so this workshop we're focussing on the issues and information relevant for such endeavors.
The new 100kw Powertainer will also be onsite and available for tire kicking. We will not, however, be running it as it is not quite ready for its public debut. The 100kw is not an experimental unit, so we've decided to not demo it until it is completely finished and ready for general delivery. Therefore consider this somewhat like a static unveiling at the Detroit Auto Show. It will be visually complete and done. You can wander its innards completely, see everything, and ask about anything. Just no key turning or test driving quite yet. But soon . . .
2. GEK Gasifier Building:
Want to build you own gasifier? Here's your chance to do so, using our tools and instruction from the local crew.
We have tables and welders for 4 people who want to weld together a GEK kit over the weekend. Given clear inhouse instruction, you should be able to get through the building process by the end of Sunday. Finished gasifiers can Russian doll back into the hopper and filter for checking as oversize baggage on the plane. Yes this does work. We do this regularly. Airline security surprisingly does not mind too much.
Anyone who wants to do this will need to reserve a spot by purchasing a Level III weld together GEK kit. There is no additional cost for instruction, using our tools, and burning our welding wire. The workshop is also free if you get a kit. We're trying to make this easy and accessible.
Again, there are ONLY 4 slots for gasifier building. Welders are limited. Please reserve ahead of time if you want to build a kit. If you want to get a jump on what we'll be doing, here's the general process shown in video form:
If you want to buy a kit for welding at the workshop, please write us at "firstname.lastname@example.com". You are also welcome to bring your own scrap tanks, and we'll try to do something with those too.
3. Lister spark conversion:
After a 1.5 year pause, KenBoak and crew are back at it on the Lister spark conversion project. The goal continues to be a hybrid system that can start up on diesel, then cross over to 100% woodgas via a spark plug added into the compression release plug. Listers are everywhere and Ken really wants to get to a DIY spark conversion kit to make this easier for all to do. Ken is working on this project throughout March and posting his progress. You can follow along at the links below.
Ken's original write up on the project is in the APL Wiki - here: http://wiki.gekgasif...iesel%20engines
More feedback and comment is in the Forum here: http://gekgasifier.c..._lister__st__20
4. GEK kit assembly and startup:
If you have recently bought or built a GEK kit, here's a chance to learn the details of its finish and running. We'll be assembling a current GEK v4.3 from scratch, as well as running various fuels through the results. Actually, we have quite a few gasifiers on site at this point, so several versions of the GEK will be available for running and learning. You're also welcome to bring yours. Free upgrades tend to happen for those who get their machines here on site. Extra credit for bringing your own fuel for testing.
General Info and Signup

I would like to bring the GEK kit that I picked up at the last event on Father's day weekend, to weld together.
I also want to bring my friend Darryl who can't wait to make engine grade gas with the finished product.
I'll pay for Darryl's spot online now. Please let me know if this will work.
Thanks again

"We just completed a very interesting set of experiments by the students on measuring usable BTU output generated in our small rice hulls gasifier," Steve states. He will be bringing up to 6 students to the workshop to not only learn about gasification from our workshop, but to teach us as well!

From their site: "The Biogas and Pyrolysis Module will provide a history of gasification and pyrolysis, and an overview of photosynthesis, the carbon cycle and biomass energy. Students will study the biochemistry of anerobic digestion, pyrolysis, gasification and the qualities of methane. Safety issues and OSHA compliance are also included in the curriculum. The varieties of biogas applications will be explored as well as common types of biogas plants. The mechanics of gasification include how a system is designed and built, how gas cleanup is handled and how to select the appropriate feedstock. The economics section will explore market opportunities and issues of scale."

Making gas is one thing, turning it into liquid is something entirely different. I hope we have a great Workshop!

Anyone interested in small work subgroup on taking a wood slash pile in the National Forest (up I80 or 50) and turning it to energy?
NFS has agreed to doing a pilot project.
Need to have some people help figure out how to process the fuel and turn it to energy (syn gas, liquid alcohol, battery stored electric??) ON-SITE. Right now these slash piles are being burned in open air, or chipped and hauled 100's of miles away. It's a win,win,win,win all around with big upside potential.

Raspberry Pi: Tiny Computer That Runs Linux
700MHz processor, 256MB of RAM. It doesn't seem that long ago since I was running a desktop PC like that. However, these are the specs of a new keyring-sized computer to be released by a UK not for profit company. They hope to be able to sell it for $25 dollars a pop, and best of all, it runs Linux.
The idea is that this small unit can output 1080p video to a digital television. Permanent storage is provided via a memory card slot, and IO (keyboard and mouse) requires a USB hub. In other words, it's a small but functionally complete computer.
On the website and elsewhere, the designers are discussing deploying it as an Internet access terminal or some sort of set-up to encourage young people to take an interest in computer programming. One of the big names backing the project, David Braben, got started by experimenting with with the home computers of the early 80s, which typically came with a built-in programming language.
For the moment the specs are tentative, but the device will use a ARM based system-on-a-chip. ARM itself doesn't actually fabricate CPUs, it develops technology and then licenses it, and the chip is a Broadcom BCM2763. The company website indicates that this chip was designed with mobile phones in mind.
As for simple MIPS/FLOPS performance, I doubt that this processor is competitive with say, a Pentium III running at 700MHz, as modern ARM processors in desktop applications tend to be power-saving rather than powerhouses. However, bear in mind that this thing was intended to be the heart of a modern phone with camcorder and mobile gaming features, and as such, it has some impressive video processing specs. The graphics facilities include OpenGL ES, a standard for rendering 3D graphics on mobile devices, and it can also decode H.264 video on the fly. So, the relatively low processing power need not hinder the usefulness of this device in its intended role. My guess is that KDE 4 wont be the go-to choice as a front end.
We've all seen low cost, low power projects like this come and go in the past. To achieve the price that the project is aiming for, it will have to achieve manufacturing volume. In its favor, although there will be a buy-one-give-one scheme of some sort, early indications are that it won't be the only way of getting one. I can think of one high profile project with similar aspirations that torpedoed itself by making it very difficult to buy a machine, despite the considerable demand. That project has subsequently never been able to hit its target unit cost due to to insufficient manufacturing volume.
It's clear that if a device like this could be brought to market for anything like the intended price, it could do a lot to attack the global digital divide. At the same time, I'm sure that lots of hobbyists who already have a computer, could find dozens of uses for a device like this. When they become available, I know I'll be getting one.

Just got wind of this story again, and especially after seeing it run Quake III, I've fallen in love! Despite the seemingly modest size increase (a credit card, oh no, hehe!) I keep planning projects in my head for this thing: a Commodore 64 hollowed out with this on the inside, booting straight into an emulator with all the C64 games every made; a cyberpunk arm-band mounted mini-computer; a computer doing... something, mounted in my car's dash. The possibilities just keep coming!

Sweet! that is all I can come
Sweet! that is all I can come up with.
Raspberry Pi:
I want one!
Then, I'll take it out of its USB pendrive case (I suppose that is how it'll be delivered) and build it into a basic USB keyboard, together with a 4 port USB hub.
A C64/MTX512 replacement, and so retro too. However, I never ran my C64 on a 47" TV, though I suppose I can try...
I hope LJ does a follow up

You can't leave out so easily the only desktop-ready OpenGL2-ES window manager out there. Also, there has been some serious trimming in KDE 4.7.

Can you say nano Bewolf clusters? :)
or mass f@h even...
that was my though when i 1st saw this.. but then i was "wheres the eth0?"
You found it!
That's the rub, right there...
All I/O, except for video, goes through the one and only usb port. Talk about bottle neck!
Imagine what would it be like with ethernet, keyboard, mouse and additional storeage on the one onboard usb port? Yuk.
If I had a way to alter this project, it would be the addition of a usb hub, on the card and a pin header strip with a minimum of 4 port capacity. Better yet, add an ethernet chip and bring it out to the edge to a pin header...
And, yes, I would be willing to pay a bit more...

Today's modular x86 servers are compute-centric, designed as a least common denominator to support a wide range of IT workloads. Those generic, virtualized IT workloads have much different resource optimization requirements than hyperscale and cloud applications. They have resulted in a "one size fits all" enterprise IT architecture that is not optimized for a specific set of IT workloads, and especially not emerging hyperscale workloads, such as web applications, big data, and object storage. In this report, you will learn how shifting the focus from traditional compute-centric IT architectures to an innovative disaggregated fabric-based architecture can optimize and scale your data center.

Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Free Webinar: Linux Backup and Recovery
Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Club President Vincent Alessi in announcing this event said, "This is an opportunity for our citizens TO GIVE and RECEIVE at the same time. Please accept our invitation to participate. Hannibal's License Cancelled Claiming that justice has been served. Assemblyman Gregory R. Becker today announced that Hannibal's Pub in Lynbrook has had its liquor license canceled, effective immediately, "it has been a long hard fight but we've won," Becker declared. "It just indicates how when we all work together for a common cause we can make a difference." Becker explained that the fight against the pub began when neighbors complained of boisterous behavior, property dapiage, fights and noise coming from the d r i n k i n g e s t a b l i s h m e n t. When attempts to reconcile the problem failed, local residents joined forces and called on Assemblyman Becker to get action. After pressing the State Liquor Authority to move up the hearing date, avoiding a possible year's delay, Becker organized a large number of area residents and all attended the New York City hearing t o t e s t i f y about the horrendous conditions that existed in the neighborhood as a result of the tavern's operation. On Feb. 1 the SLA ruled on the case and canceled the pub's liquor license with a non-renewal clause. "A cancellation of the license means that the pub can remain open," the assemblyman explained, "but they cannot serve liquor or apply for a new license in the future. "This is a great victory," Becker exclaimed, "made even better because of the cooperation of the residents, local and state officials and my office. "I want to thank all those who assisted in this effort and hope this sends the clear signal to o t h e r s that disruptive, abusive behavior will not be tolerated," he declared. Lynbrook Mayor Wil-liam Geier, who was instru-mental in bringing this mat-ter before the State Liquor Authority after receiving numerous complaints from nearby homeowners, stated "The successful completion of this matter is an example of local g o v e r n m e n t 's response to the needs of its residents through the elimi-nation of a very undesirable condition in the village." The Mayor also expressed his thanks for the coopera-tive efforts of Assemblyman Becker and Senator Berman who were able to bring this matter to the front of the SLA calendar. Rev. George Hardy Retiring From Bethany Lynbrook Village Board Report The Mayor and the Board of Trustees of the Village of Lynbrook met on Monday, February 6 at 8 pm at the Village Hall. After the approval of the minutes of the January 16 meeting. Mayor Geier read a proclamation on behalf of the Board to the Boy Scouts of America on their 75th Anniversary. District No. 5 Commander Brennan and Assistant Commander Ross were on hand to accept the proclamation from the Mayor. Mayor Geier noted that the Boy Scouts "pro-mote the true meaning of A m e r i c a n i sm through patriotism, responsiblity, preparedness and civic activ-ity." In accepting the proc-lamation, Mr. Brennan reported that all Lynbrook residents should be proud because Arthur Eldredge, the first Eagle Scout in the United States, came from this area. He thanked the Mayor and the Board for their efforts in recognition of the BSA.
