Next Up - Utah: The Utah Utes come to Tucson for a three game set Feb. 1-3. UU is 1-2 in 2002 having dropped two games to Cal Poly after winning its season opener last weekend. Coached by Tim Esmay, the Utes finished the 2001 season 27-29 overall and tied for third in the Mountain West Conference with a 14-16 record. Utah returns six starters, five pitches and 20 letterwinners from last season's team. Arizona leads the all-time series 47-4 in 51 meetings between the two schools. The Wildcats and Utes met last year in Tucson for the first time in 11 years. Arizona took the closely contested series two games to one with 8-7 and 5-4 victories.
Pitching ProbablesFriday - Sean Rierson (1-0, 2.25 ERA) vs. Jason Wylie (1-0, 1.80 ERA)Saturday - Marc Kaiser (1-0, 1.12 ERA) vs. Doug Mackay (0-1, 12.00 ERA)Sunday - TBA vs. Sean Overholt (0-1, 10.80 ERA)
Busy As Bees: Beginning with the Friday matchup with Utah, the Arizona baseball team will play nine games (including the Jim Click All-Pro Alumni Game) in 10 days. Utah, Southern Utah and San Diego State will all travel to Tucson over the next week and a half.
Last Time Out: Arizona opened its 2002 season against the New Mexico Lobos. Carrying a 14-game winning streak into the three game series, the Wildcats extended it to 17 straight with 6-2, 23-3, and 8-2 victories. Arizona out-scored UNM 37-7 and out-hit them 32-24 in the three games. The Lobos last beat Arizona in the first of three games in 1997, UA has now swept the season series with New Mexico in five consecutive seasons.
Pitching Staff Off To A Fine Start: The sophomore dominant Arizona pitching staff evidently took well to the lessons learned during their freshmen campaign last year. In three games against New Mexico, pitching coach Jeff Morris' charges had the Lobo hitters on their heals all weekend. In 27 innings Arizona pitchers struck out 19 Lobo hitters and walked only three, while tallying a 2.00 ERA. They limited UNM to just eight hits per game and a .242 batting average. Of the 24 hits given up by the pitching staff, only two went for extra bases. Arizona's starters Sean Rierson, Joe Little and Marc Kaiser averaged 7.1 innings, four K's and 0.67 walks per start. They gave up only five earned runs for the weekend. The relief corps was just as effective. Led by Tony Sulser, Arizona's pen recorded seven strikeouts in five innings. Sulser dominated UNM's hitters. In two innings pitched, the right-hander struck out five of the six hitters he faced. He struck out the side in the ninth inning of Sunday's, 8-2, Arizona victory.
Ouch, That's Got To Hurt: The New Mexico pitching staff showed that it was early in the season and they took it out on the Arizona batters. Along with the 22 walks issued by New Mexico pitchers, six different Wildcat hitters were plunked seven times by Lobo pitches. Not to let a painful, but free pass go to waste, all seven hit batters eventually came around to score for Arizona. Marc Kasier led the team with two HBP in the three games.
A Sibling Rivalry: Arizona freshman right-hander Jason Snyder has the book on at least one of the Utah Utes. His twin brother, Jared, is a member of the Ute pitching staff. The brothers attended Alta High School in Sandy, Utah, and combine to provide a tough one-two punch in prep play. Jason was named the Gatorade Utah Player-of-the-Year last year and Jared earned first-team all-state honors as the duo led Alta to the Class 5A state championship.
Give Me Mo: Moises Duran has begun the 2002 season on tear. The sophomore second baseman is 7-for-10 with 10 RBIs and eight runs scored in the young season. He has already surpassed his career RBI total by three and needs just eight more runs to improve on the 15 he scored last season. In Saturday's 23-3 thrashing of New Mexico, the Tucson Sunnyside grad was 4-for-4 with four runs scored and drove in nine, the third most RBIs in a single game in school history. He hit the first grand slam in nearly two years for Arizona and added another solo shot to double his career home run tally.
Doing More With Less: The Wildcats entered the 2002 season with the knowledge that they will have to score runs any way possible. The first three games of the season proved that point to a T. Arizona scored a total of 37 runs off of only 34 hits. UA was patient at the plate earning 22 walks and getting hit seven times as well. They took full advantage of the free passes as 12 of the 22 walks resulted in runs and all seven batters that got hit scored. Arizona also fought to last out of the inning, 17 of the 37 runs came with two down in an inning.
Three and Oh: Arizona's three game sweep over New Mexico is the best start to a season for the Wildcats since 1999. The '99 squad, Arizona's last NCAA team, went undefeated through the first 13 games of the season.
Dating Back To Last Season: Going back to the final three games of the 2001 season, Arizona has now won six straight games.
Power Surge: Despite returning only six home runs from 2001, the Wildcats proved that can make pitchers pay with the long ball when given the opportunity. Paced by Moises Duran's two homers, Arizona tallied four round-trippers in the opening weekend of play. Freshman Jeff Van Houten went yard in his second career at bat and senior Brad Hassey tallied a three-run shot of his own, the first of his career.
Home Sweet Home: Brad Hassey's straight steal of home in the third inning of Saturday's game against New Mexico was the first of its kind since Diego Rico did the same against UCLA on March 9, 1996.
Pleading The Fifth: In the first three games combine Arizona managed to score at least one run in seven of the eight innings in which they hit (they have yet to come to bat in the ninth). The fifth inning has proven to be stuborn in allowing Arizona to score. Not even in the 23-3 win over UNM did Arizona cross the plate in the fifth. The Wildcats' best chance to the end the drought came on Sunday when Arizona had runners on first and third with two out. In attempt to break through, Jeff Van Houten was caught on the back end of a double steal ending the scoring opportunity. See page 4 of the notes to see a breakdown of Arizona's scoring inning-by-inning.
Little's All Right: Arizona's No.2 starter Joe Little was struck by a batted ball in UA's dugout during the Wildcats' 8-2 win over New Mexico last Sunday. The left hander was taken to St. Mary's Hospital in Tucson where he recieved 20 stitches over his left eye. He will be able to practice on a limited scale and will be re-evaluated on a day-to-day basis.
Arizona-Arizona State Game To Be Televised: The Pac-10 Conference Office announced this week that the March 23 game between Arizona and ASU will be shown live on Fox Sports Net. The time of the game has been changed from its originally scheduled 1 p.m. first pitch to 2 p.m. to accomdate TV. The game is one of just four Pac-10 games to be televised on Fox Sports Net this season.
Jim Click All-Pro Alumni Game: The Jim Click All-Pro Alumni Game is fast approaching. Scheduled for Feb. 10 the annual event gives Tucson fans an opportunity to revisit some of the great players that have made their way through the Old Pueblo and Frank Sancet Field. Among the former UA legends scheduled to appear are Alan Zinter, Ed Vosberg, J.T. Snow, Kevin Long, Gil Heredia, Chip Hale, Clark Crist, Scott Erickson and Trevor Hoffman. This season will feature an All-Pro Game first as three-time World Series Champion Vida Blue teams up with current World Series Champ Erubiel Durazo to lead the Alumni as the guest managers.

Frank Sancet Field: Located on the corners of Enke and National Championship Drives, Frank Sancet Field has been the home of Arizona baseball for over 35 seasons. Know originally as Wildcat Field, it was renamed and dedicated Frank Sancet Field on April 19, 1986 to honor Arizona's longtime head coach. Coach Sancet put Arizona on the collegiate baseball map, posting a 831-283-8 (.744) record in 23 seasons as head coach. His Wildcat teams made 16 postseason appearances during his tenure and nine trips to Omaha. He finished runner-up at the College World Series three times. Since moving to its current location, the Arizona baseball team has gone 885-385-3 in 1,273 games for a .697 winning percentage. The Wildcats have suffered only three losing seasons on their home turf and nearly reach perfection in former head Coach Jerry Kindall's second season with a 37-1 home record. Frank Sancet Field has been the site of four NCAA Regionals (1979, '80, '89, '92).

(I just realized I saved but did not publish this post from Monday. Sorry! Here's a link to the news item my colleague Dave Kovaleski has done on it since.) The biggest news to come out of the press conference this afternoon at PCMA's annual meeting in New Orleans was that folks from all the main meeting organizations, from MPI and ASAE and USTA, got together this morning to strategize about how and what to do to get the meetings industry on the radar screen of the incoming Obama administration. According to PCMA's Deborah Sexton, the goal of the meeting was "to create a plan to move the meetings industry's global impact message forward."'
The organizations she mentioned as being involved in this grand plan are CIC, PCMA, ASAE, NBTA, DMAI, SITE, ACTE, and IAEE. These efforts will tie in with those of USTA and NBTA on the travel and business travel front, from what it sounds like. But meetings will definitely be an important part of the mix, she emphasized. Roger Dow of USTA, who also was at the press conference, said, "We will be lobbying Congress, but you can't lobby with anecdotes. You have to lobby with data."
Sexton said to get the depth of data they're shooting for would take at least a year, but they're ready to get going asap, and will attend a meeting in D.C. in a couple of weeks to figure out the nitty gritty of who does what, when, and how.
Christine Duffy of Maritz Travel, also at the press conference, explained that the "AIG situation" was part of a perfect storm of economic conditions and perceptual problems. Now, she said, "[companies that received] bailouts are actively canceling meetings. We don't want to have this happen again and not have data to back us up" on why this is not a good thing.
CIC did do an economic impact study back in 2005, but this sounds like it'll be even more comprehensive and far-reaching. This is such a good idea, and I hope that it doesn't stop with this one-time effort, but continues to be updated. You never know when you're going to need that data.

Dentists in Boynton Beach: Search online, and some effort probably will help you get sites of some of the highly regarded Boynton Beach dentists. Or visit: www.premierdentistryofboyntonbeach.com/Premier Dentistry of Boynton Beach
Accumulate the names of dentistry professionals via references, such as asking pals as well as relatives or by browsing online. You can look on web for various directories that supply a listing of state or area data on oral health facilities. You simply have to add in the state you want to see in order to view an area-specific listing of dental practitioners. You can then sort through the outcomes to discover the office best suited for your demands.
You might do this by looking at whether the dental practitioner: Is an accredited member of well-known medical organizations, such as ABOI or American Academy of Implant Dentistry or is proactively associated with any of distinguished universities and related organizations. If a Boynton Beach dentist complies with these guidelines, you can be sure that the dental practitioner is abreast of the most recent developments as well as gives the most effective dental advice.
Step2: Validate the dental expert's technical expertise.
Step3: Take into consideration the dental implant expert's skill. It is a good idea that you pick a dental practitioner who has several years of in a particular area. A lot of dental professionals concentrate on more than one type of practice. Nevertheless, this does not imply that a great dental surgeon also be a similarly satisfactory implant doctor.
Tip 4: Ultimately, to evaluate the capability of the dentists in Boynton Beach try finding individual testimonies. You should also request some after-before pictures of clients that have already received comparable dental treatments. This can provide you a clear determination of the proficiency of the dentist. It's clear that many people hesitate calling dentist.

Stuff you may not know about KWUR Week Electronica Artists by Liz Hay
So as everyone knows, I am thrilled about all the people who are coming to KWUR Week. Three Oh Sees are great and I love listening to Flaming Death Trap's stack session during my show. But I wanted to bring some attention to the main Electronica artists: Paper Diamond and Robotic Pirate Monkey. I feel (looking at the cd's) that while all DJ's are playing music from Pokey LaFarge and Fergus and Geronimo, many of you have no idea who these people/ artists are. So here is a bit more info that maybe you can use on your show or even download (for free) some of their music and play it.
Paper Diamond– Is Colorado based producer named Alex B who took on the guise of Paper Diamond in 2011. The sound is raw energy and a kind of dramatic anticipation that only a knowledgable producer can do. He emphasizes driving beats and bass but also uses a lot of spacey synthesizers. I feel Paper Diamond is energetic but not as much as Robotic Pirate Monkey. This is a more relaxed form of electronica but still catchy, especially with the vocals and melodies. You can download his new album, Levitate, off his website or you can listen to him on thissongissick.com.
Robotic Pirate Monkey– I love these guys! Members Matt Berryhill, Matt Flesher, and Andrew Hathaway, from University of Colorado, have only been in the electronica scene for about 6 months now. They have two EPs that you can download off their website. It seems like their method for creating music is to take known songs, chop them up, and then add their own splash of creativity and see what happens. This idea is clearly successful as their sound is exciting, catchy, and fun to listen to. If you had to describe the types of music they use aside from in-your-face bass, it would have to be all kinds funk, reggae, funk, blues, rock, and of course electronica. Looking to hear more: Go to their website to listen to Disturbing Pleasant Streets and Jungle Tales.
So I hope this gives you some idea of these two artists and their styles and sounds. Please check out their music and use it on your show to spread the word about these two electronica groups.

{pause for dramatic effect}
That's right. 35. Mid-thirties. Half-way to dead.
Funny how most days I still feel like I'm 16. A very responsible 16 year old, but still.
In my (almost) 35 years on this planet, I feel like I've accomplished a lot. Yes, there's a lot of stuff still left to do, but considering that I will become old and decrepit in a few weeks, I'm going to focus on my past accomplishments. Making a to-do list will just make me more tired, and I need to conserve my energy for the years ahead.
So, without further ado, here is my list of:
1. Graduated from law school. Which maybe this should be on the list of things I'm not necessarily glad I did. But who cares - it was hard, so on the list of accomplishments it goes.
2. Passed the bar exam. I will never study for anything again.
3. Married the love of my life (i.e., Scott, just in case you weren't sure).
4. Kept three children alive since 2005. I'm not making any promises for the future, but so far so good.
5. Co-authored a book that was published. A dang boring book about legal stuff, but I say it counts.
6. Traveled to some pretty interesting foreign places. Egypt, Israel, Italy, Greece, Germany, and Tijuana. Probably had the most fun in TJ.
7. Took my love and took it down. Climbed a mountain then I turned around. And I saw...wait, those are the lyrics to Landslide.
8. Lived at Mission Beach in San Diego during my junior and senior year of college. Watched many beautiful ocean sunsets. And a few sunrises too, wink wink.
9. Watched every single episode of Blue's Clues ever made. This was unintentional, but an accomplishment nonetheless.
10. Started the Beanie Baby craze of the 90's. I can't prove this, but I'm telling you, it all started with me and my after-school job at the Village Toymaker in 1993.
11. Won "Funniest Blog" in the 2010 Multiple and More Blog Awards. Except I haven't done that yet. But you could help me by clicking here, scrolling down and voting for Twinsomnia. You can vote once per day!
(I'm totally losing right now. Help an (almost) 35 year old's dream come true, will you? Do it for the elderly!)

This may be specific to my equipment, but it's all electricity in the end, right?
On my power center, I have an AUX port which hooks into a Jandy Relay. The Relay has 4 posts. I think 2 are for one thing and 2 can be for another.
Of the 2, 1 is for the power SOURCE and 1 is for the power OUTPUT.
I'm trying to hook this up to a landscape light (120v transformer) and I think I have it figured out but want to double check with you folks.
My circuit breaker has 120 out, and I think I hook that + into 1 of the wires on my relay pair, and then the output goes to my light system. But doesn't my light system need to be grounded? Should I ground to the other pair in my relay and ground that to the circuit breaker -, or should I just ground my light system to the main ground for my power center??
In the Jandy diagrams, it shows the ground icon as if I ground it to the green wires which ground to ground, but that doesn't seem right..
So before I fry my system and start a fire, I wanted to check with you folks..
Thanks in advance,

BONN — On the first day of an international conference on climate change, the United States and Japan on Monday came under heavy pressure to help salvage the Kyoto global warming treaty, which appears close to collapse after a decade of negotiation.
Delegates from 180 countries opened a two-week meeting in this Rhine river town, most of them determined to rescue the treaty, which the United States renounced four months ago. Supporters call it the world's best hope for slowing the destructive effect of temperatures that are rising at a record pace.

Carragher is hanging up his boots this summer, but he has been anything but retiring as the most vocal member of the Merseyside club for the past 16 years.
Downing admits he has witnessed Carragher's passion both on the pitch, with the Liverpool legend's determination to succeed ensuring short shrift for those who underperform.
"You wouldn't want to know what him and Steven Gerrard said to us in the dressing room after the Oldham defeat," Downing said. "These lads are quiet in their ways but if something needs to be said, they will say it.
"They have been here a long time and they know what is needed. Carra's basically like a manager when he's sitting on the touchline. Honestly, he's just commentating all the way through.
"I've played left-back alongside him in some games and you think to yourself 'jeez, he never stops going!'. Some players can switch off but he will always be on their case. There are not many players like him around in dressing rooms now. It tends to be a lot quieter.
"He's clattered a few people in training, I can tell you. That's the way he is. There is no such thing as a training game. Everything is 100 per cent.
"He's not frightened of anyone. He won't just pick on a young lad. If someone is not doing their job, he will be at them. He has probably had many arguments over the years.
"He keeps people on their toes and some lads needs that because they can switch off. He is one of the old school, he has been brought up that way. He has never changed so good on him."

Call Mitt Romney boring all you want, the bottom line is, he has a car elevator in his house. That may be a little heavy on the one-percent-iness, but it's anything but dull.
Romney also owns a horse. Horse owners are the most interesting people in the world. Some horses are so interesting they should run for Vice President. Mitt's steed is competing in an Olympic event so pompous your mouth feels stupid saying it, so a VP candidacy is not out of the question.
Like him or not, Romney is a snowflake so unique he gives Vermin Supreme a run for his money. Don't be surprised if he choses an equine as his running mate.
After a careful analysis of a report about how Romney's VP announcement could be affected by his wife Ann's horse Rafalca competing in dressage at the Olympics, Colbert concluded with 100 percent certainty that his horse IS Mitt's running mate.
Is it really such a bad idea? Nay. As Stephen points out, a certain other vice presidential candidate was about as qualified as Ann's pet: "Rafalca's female, also doesn't read newspapers, and has completed the same amount of terms as governor."
We anticipate the VP debate with fervor.

A politically connected Harlem housing provider is set to sell a vacant plot of land for $1.2 million — but critics doubt the windfall will actually help needy tenants.
The Greater Harlem Housing Development Corp. is also in line to receive $2 million in a forgivable loan from the city.
The organization oversees 117 units of affordable housing and has said it needs the money from the property sale to preserve its housing stock.
But one advocate said the group has failed miserably in its mandate, and tenants complain of "almost unlivable conditions."
"The city cannot just continue to give away money to slumlords who have no intention of preserving the affordable housing they already have," said Jaron Benjamin, executive director of Metropolitan Council on Housing. "I don't think they can be trusted anymore."
In fact, the proceeds will not go to repair Greater Harlem's dilapidated buildings but to pay off the troubled nonprofit's mounting debts, The Post has learned.
Among its list of creditors is Con Ed, which won a $172,166 court judgment for back bills in 2008. It also owes a supply company $9,596 and its law firm $103,257.
The group has taken dozens of tenants to court for unpaid rent, but many of the actions have come after residents have withheld their monthly payments to protest living conditions.
"I had no oven for a year," said resident Tamela Bennett, who added that her front door sometimes would not open and her windows would not open or close.
Greater Harlem sued Bennett last year for nonpayment of $12,302 in rent. Bennett, in turn, sued for lack of repairs.
She said repair work started only after she filed the court action.
Greater Harlem Housing Development Corp. is an offshoot of the Greater Harlem Chamber of Commerce.
Both are run by Harlem power broker Lloyd Williams, who is close to Rep. Charles Rangel and Councilwoman Inez Dickens.
The housing group amassed a collection of apartment buildings 20 years ago as the city sold them off for little money. The buildings were renovated and turned into affordable housing, but there were soon problems.
Greater Harlem Housing faced a foreclosure action in 1997 and again in 2005 when loans went unpaid.
Despite the organization's rocky finances and dubious track record, the city advanced it $2.55 million in a forgivable loan in 2008 to repair boilers, plumbing and fix other problems.
Six years later, there is still much to be done.
The 11 buildings have 650 violations, according to the city's Department of Housing Preservation and Development.
The department is advancing Greater Harlem another $2 million in a forgivable loan to fix up building exteriors, roofs, chimneys, stairs, doors, windows, intercoms, boilers, security systems and fire escapes. But it won't get the money until it fixes the most hazardous violations first, according to the department.
And the agency maintains it has "worked out an agreement" with Greater Harlem to pay off debts "that could otherwise lead to loss of the affordable housing."
In another effort to improve its cash flow, Greater Harlem brought in a property-management firm a year ago to collect rent.
The organization took in $1.4 million in rent in 2011 and had expenses of $1.6 million, according to its tax filing for that year.
It's impossible to know how the group spent its money more recently because it has not filed its 2012 return, which was due in November 2013. Greater Harlem's treasurer said it would be finalized in March or April.

When life's mountains seem too high and the valleys seem too low, we may feel abandoned and become discouraged. Yet God's Word promises that when we place our trust in Jesus, we will never travel life's journey alone. We will have His Holy Spirit living within us and His Word to instruct, direct and strengthen us. The letter to the Hebrews encourages us to keep near to Christ so we can keep going.

What has 24 thumbs and needs an animator and programmer? This team!!! at Forged Chaos
We are Forged Chaos, a team of twelve miscreants and degenerates wholeheartedly engaged in developing Trials of Ascension: Exile, a "Host Your Own" multi-player fantasy sandbox survival game for the PC where you host your own island, set the rules as you see fit, and play with others (or by yourself if you prefer) as either the civilization-building humans, the deliciously evil looking raknar, or even the mighty dragon!
If you check out our public facing roadmap you'll see we've come a long way and are closing in on a launch. It is no longer a matter of IF we will launch but WHEN and we are wanting to hit that date as soon as possible. With a hammer. In the face. Twice. And that is where you come in.
About the chaos you'd be joining....
In a nutshell, we are all about progress, process, and fun. Let me break those down...
We run two week sprints where you are asked to fill up your to-do list with the amount of work you commit to getting done. You are in control of how much you contribute (sans a small amount of hours per sprint we require to ensure progress continues).
We have this whole "remote team" thing down to a science. We have a fleshed out game design document (GDD) that we refer to daily for guidance, we use Slack for daily discussions, Skype for our weekly all-team voice meetings and Trello to track progress and effort. We are a finely tuned sexah machine!
While we are super serious about the creation of ToA:Exile, we believe in having as much fun as possible. Truth be told, we are a group of politically incorrect scallywags that will laugh too hard at things that ought not to be laughed at. We poke endless fun at one another, give each other virtual wedgies, spread horrible rumors of one another throughout the interwebs and engage in other general debauchery antics. It's a hoot!
So what the hell is in it for you?
Aside from all the laughter at your expense and endless task-mastering, we are offering a generous share of the revenue (that will come from our Steam Early Access launch) that increases with the more time and effort you put into the project. The contract, our projections, specifics of our processes and goals will be discussed with qualified applicants after a NDA is signed.
We are looking for the following positions:
As an animator, you will be subject to endless criticism of your work by those nowhere near qualified to be offering said criticism. They will pretend to know how to do your job better than you and use fancy-pants terms like "I.K." and "Rigging". Beyond that, we're looking for someone that has solid 3D animation skills, can rig and apply skin weighting, and is able to pick up new technical skills and concepts quickly. If you can make a mesh come to life through the awesomeness of animation, reach out to us!
As a programmer, you will be chained to your desk, fed sparingly and only released long enough for the occasional bathroom break but only while your code is compiling. Aside from that we are looking for a coder that has a solid understanding of and experience with Unity, fluent in C#, familiar with Git, and we'd love you long time if you have experience with AI and networking.
To Apply
If joining our team of chaos forgers sounds interesting, shoot us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com. Please include a link to your portfolio or any examples of your work.

Is there any company in the history of the world that has created demand for unnecessary products better than Apple? Before the iPod we were content to listen to one CD all day; after its invention it was a grave injustice to be separated from your entire music collection for more than a few hours. Apple might have just done the same thing again, but for the contents of your pockets. The company revealed something called the Passbook at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), which could do a lot for the mobile wallet world.
The Passbook is an app that will be built into Apple's new iOS 6 mobile operating system. It's not dissimilar to the Newsstand or Books apps, which Apple already has built into its mobile operating system, in that it merely acts as a placeholder for other stuff. If Books is a virtual bookshelf, Passbook is a virtual top-of-your-bedside-dresser-where-you-dump-the-contents-of-your-pockets. It holds gift cards, loyalty cards, train tickets, plane tickets, coupons, and pretty much anything you might have in your wallet — except for cash, identification, credit and debit cards.
The iPhone is not currently NFC enabled, and so Passbook works using scannable images like QR and bar codes. Go to Starbucks and they can scan your card's 2D barcode; get to the gate, and the stewardess can scan a QR code off your phone. Images released show cards from Target, Starbucks, W Hotels loaded into Passbook, along with tickets from Amtrak and United Airlines.
Though it does not use NFC technology, Passbook does use geolocation, so that, according to a Quora post by Brian Roemmele, "the appropriate reward/incentive/gift card/ticket will be automatically presented for use as the iOS user enters the retail location." He adds, "in the future retailers will be able to push offers/credits/incentives to users based on a number of criteria including location."
The future, if it involves mobile wallets, is full of opportunities for aggressive marketers. As it stands now, however, Passbook merely brings together many services that already exist on mobile phones. Fandango has an app; Starbucks has an app; now they can be hosted on Passbook as cards instead.
Many commenters believe that this is just an opening salvo on Apple's part, and that the next iPhone will include NFC technology and access to actual debit or credit cards. Apple did, after all, file a patent in 2009, for something called the iWallet, which is NFC-enabled. If this is the case, then maybe Apple could again test its ability to create demand for a product we don't really need.

The team includes medical oncologists, pathologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists, surgeons, nurses, research coordinators and other cancer care staff. Treatment options There are several ways to treat gynecologic cancer. The specific type of cancer and how advanced it is will determine your treatment options and may include surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation. Patients often receive a combination of treatments. Surgery Hysterectomy-robotic surgery for early stage GYN cancer Women with cancerous gynecological conditions are often treated with hysterectomy -- the surgical removal of the uterus. If your doctor recommends a hysterectomy, you may be a candidate for our robot-assisted hysterectomy. This incredibly precise procedure requires only a few small incisions, so you'll experience minimum pain, scarring and downtime. Hysterectomy can also be performed in minimally invasive way, without the use of a robot. Learn more about surgical options and our surgeons Radiation therapy Brachytherapy Our technologically advanced brachytherapy program is the largest and most experienced in the region. In brachytherapy, radioactive material is placed in the body in direct contact with the tumor so that healthy tissues, farther from the radiation source, are exposed to a much lower dose. This technique allows more radiation to be given safely and can result in a much shorter and more convenient course of treatment. At our Good Samaritan Comprehensive Cancer Center, stress management therapists are available to help patients stay calm with breathing techniques during this procedure.

I feel like doing something a little different this month. Ever since sometime in my 40's (and it still feels weird to me that I'm older than that now) I've had this title in my mind, 'Autobiography of a Nobody.' If I were to ever write the story of my life, it seemed, it would be the perfect title.
I doubt I'll ever get around to the long version, but I decided I would finally use the title in the August entry of our blog, and instead of resorting to my usual impersonal approach of focusing on the principles of Truth, I would share my memoirs here and now—just as a change of pace—and probably much to Kay's great chagrin.
I was born in the same room, and delivered by the same doctor, that had delivered my mother 22 years earlier. My first two years were spent in the middle of cotton fields. After that, my parents moved to the city of Vicksburg, MS, where I grew up and attended high school. My home overlooked the mighty Mississippi. At that time it seemed like the most perfect place in the world to be a child and teenager.
I discovered yoga and meditation at the age of 15. Even to this day it is somewhat of a mystery to me how I actually discovered it or began. No one I knew practiced it or knew anything about it. I told one of my friends that I was practicing yoga, and he said, 'Oh, that's where they lay on a bed of nails, isn't it?'
I began taking a correspondence course at 15 that I continued until its completion when I was 29. It was written in the 50's by a man in his 80's, who had spent 17 years in a hidden lamasery in Tibet, until his Master told him to take the teachings of Truth to the West during the years of the Great Depression, and to help the people learn to prosper again and get free from the poverty, lack, and loss of the times. He did this, and many of his students are today well known names.
In high school I also read 'Autobiography of a Yogi,' by Paramahansa Yogananda, which opened me to a different sort of world than I was used to, and also inspired the title of my own 'autobiography.'
I continued my education in Jackson, MS, at Millsaps College, a private Methodist liberal arts college that was the liberal stronghold in Mississippi at the time, as well as the state's most prestigious academic institution. I took a 'creative writing' course taught by our 'writer in residence,' the great Eudora Welty. The first interracial marriage in Mississippi took place in our chapel when I was a student there, and we were all very proud of that. I majored in philosophy and English literature. I never knew why, or how I would ever 'use it,' until years later.
At 22, about a year after the unexpected death of my mother in an automobile accident, I moved from Mississippi to Greenwich Village. Actually, on my 22nd birthday, my girlfriend at the time took me to see the original cast of "Hair" as my first ever Broadway play. I don't think, up until that point, I had ever enjoyed anything quite so much.
I worked for 3 years as a magazine editor in NYC, and then decided to focus on free-lance writing, of both articles and short stories. I had published my first short story at 20 while still living in Mississippi. During this period I was one of the very few people I had ever known who actually supported themselves as a writer.
I was gradually pulled back to my roots and my true love and began writing more about yoga and meditation and the creative power of the mind. I still feel it is important to understand the relationship between our thoughts and the process of creation—otherwise we don't understand how and why things happen as they do.
One article was titled "As You Think, So You Are." There were a great many people who wrote to me via the magazine to ask if I had any books, or if I wrote a course, and where could they get more of what I had written. The first lesson of the original course was mailed in August, 1975, in response to the people who had enjoyed the article and encouraged me to begin a course. So I began a more elaborate exploration of the principles presented in the article, and the course began to grow through word-of-mouth.
Around the same time, a Yoga Master from India, an authentic Shaktipat Guru, was going to be in Manhattan for a few weeks. All the teachers I most looked up to encouraged me to be sure and go to see him, insisting that he was very special and 'the real thing.' A friend of mine, and at the time one of my teachers, was a direct disciple of Paramahansa Yogananda. He told me that this one was the first genuine yogic Master that had come to the West since his own Guru.
Having no interest in a 'Guru' of my own, and feeling that I was already doing quite well in my sadhana, I went to see him out of curiosity. The first day I met him everything changed. My experience of myself changed. My perception of the world changed. The depth of my understanding was totally transformed. It was like entering another dimension of life. This was at 29, the 'Saturn return,' when we seemingly go from one incarnation into another.
I would spend the next 26 years writing a course exploring the principles of Truth, as I understood them, from the perspective of that particular path and lineage, as my seva or service offered to the Master and the mission. I traveled many places and led weekend workshops. I even taught meditation classes in India. I became a 'spiritual teacher.'
My second Saturn return brought just as much change into my life as the first one had. In 2002 I 'retired' from the official position I had held all those years. I had a strong pull to 'retire' into privacy and seclusion. My life and my sadhana had been under public scrutiny for many years. I did not want to be anybody, and I certainly didn't want to have to live up to being anyone in particular. I just wanted to relax and be me, take a breath, and not be needed.
I spent the next six years in virtual seclusion except for seeing immediate family. I spent as much time with my 3 children as I could. Kay and I married in 2003, after knowing each other since 1976, and her two children (and now two grandchildren) have become part of my own family.
Interestingly, Kay attended an Intensive I led at Ananda Ashram, in Monroe, NY, in 1977, when she was nine months pregnant with her daughter Tiffany, who today is maturing as a hatha yoga teacher and leader of others in her own right. Kay also was my children's primary 'babysitter' all their lives—so our families always seemed to be a bit intermingled.
We currently live in a village of 90. There are actually more people in the cemetery, which we walk through from time to time, just as a reminder of how everything comes and goes. One of the original families that settled here were part of the famous 'Tiffany's', and the tombstones of their descendents lie crumbling in the cemetery. You can actually see dates going back to the late 18th century, and then the names and dates sort of fade away. You see that when your tombstone finally crumbles into dust, you are truly 'gone,' almost as though you were never here. It gives some perspective.
No one in our village, which has one of the world's smallest post offices, would dream of what I actually do or of what I spend my time writing. I honestly don't know if they would be able to put the two together—my work and me—in any kind of comprehensible way. I imagine only people who participate in the course can actually grasp the essence behind the apparent paradox.
In 2008 I began the current course and this blog. I had given up being anyone's 'teacher' six years earlier, and no longer cared to be in any such position, but I could still write, which has always been my first love. And what would I, now in my 60's, have to say after starting all over from scratch? What would be my approach now? I couldn't imagine, and was as curious as anyone to find out.
At that point, in the beginning, I couldn't imagine that I had any more to say to anyone. Really, I had written years and years worth of lessons—which a swami friend once referred to as 'the world's longest book,' and now I was to begin all over with Lesson 1? What to do? What to say? How to begin now? And what on earth would actually be worth anyone's time to read when so much good stuff is already available?
Once I began, it was like riding a bicycle, and the words started pouring out of me. I don't write with my mind. I don't think about what I'm going to write beforehand. I cannot imagine outlining a lesson before I write it. I go to the computer and start writing, and I'm as amazed as anyone else at what comes out.
Sometimes I am 'writing' (which is more like taking dictation) and I find myself thinking, 'I never heard that before. I wonder where that comes from?' Yet it is always intuitively obvious and not worth doubting.
I have said for a while that I have reached a point where everything is either intuitively obvious or not worth thinking about. I don't think a lot. I find that useless and purposeless thinking tends not only to dissipate creative energy, but also ultimately leads to agitation, and it's no longer worth it. The secret was to lose interest in the constant activity of my own mind. I replaced that with maintaining a strong center in the heart, a center of feeling. I enjoy love and light much more than being lost in perpetual thought.
I usually direct my thinking process into this blog and the lessons of the course. And now there's Facebook, an amazing phenomenon I never anticipated, especially regarding the inherent possibilities of an ongoing real-time satsang—meeting together in the heart and mind for the purpose of experiencing the Self we all share.
August is the beginning of the 3rd year of the course and blog. We have come a long way and accomplished a lot during the first two years, on the level of coming and going and accomplishing. For those about to complete their first two years of the course, a solid foundation has been established, so that what is to come next can be strong, stable, and unquestioned right from the beginning.
My Teacher once told me, "Make the course so strongly rooted in the principles of Truth that no one can ever legitimately question or doubt it."
The beauty of the course, to me, is its constant ever-awakening into something new—even for me. For me, what's new is really new, even if it's ancient. If you're one who takes the course, you know that spiritual growth or personal development of any nature can only take place when we see, acknowledge, and appreciate what is new.
Focusing on what is old only makes us old before our time. Seeing what is new rejuvenates us and keeps us young.
As per my custom, I will conclude with a Q&A exchange from July's comments. There are many outstanding exchanges among those comments, and I sincerely urge you to read through them. It is a great community that meets and shares comments here. However, it will be challenging to choose only one. This is a comment I posted July 22:
Amazing as it might seem, I've been busy. There are more and more participants beginning the course each month, more stuff to respond to, more questions to answer, and a lot of other life-stuff as well, as karma kicks its way through this physical entanglement we call our life.
We've already broken our all time record for number of comments following an entry. So there is more and more activity here, which is fantastic, and which obviously can sustain itself for a while even when I'm unable to contribute or respond. Others seem to fill in nicely at the perfect times, and the Shakti takes care of all. For now, however, I'll see if I can 'catch up' a bit.
Renee, a relatively new participant, asked: "My questions are, what is the difference between the ego and samskaras? And, how do you convince someone you are taking them seriously when you now are able to see the situation as amusing? Do you keep the amusement to yourself and maintain a serious affect?"
The samskaras enact their influence and power over us through the tandem of mind and ego. Therefore, purifying the mind and ego is the same process as breaking free from samskaras. It's simply two different ways of understanding the same thing.
I don't do very much at all to convince people that I am taking them seriously, as I'm rarely taking them seriously in the least—and almost never as seriously as they are taking themselves. I can be appropriate; say if I'm at a funeral or a wake or something, I don't go around all jolly and encouraging people to see the humor in things in their grief.
I actually don't ever try to convince anyone of anything. If they're happy with their own understanding and vision, I'm already happy. Even so, sometimes I do keep my amusement to myself. Sometimes it actually is best to not display your amusement. So I spend a lot of time secretly amused.
Karen Jo, when I first read your beautiful poem I was so moved that I wanted to respond poetically in return, but things kept coming up and I never found poem-time, so since you've now resorted to prose I'll at least address your question.
Yes, the question is hard to put in words, and the answer is hard to put in words as well. Perhaps that's why I waited so long before I began to procrastinate.
You see, the thing is that no one has ever yet been separate. There has always been only Oneness. Even when we are totally lost in the apparent reality of duality, Oneness is real all the time—whether we consciously recognize it or not.
So our loved ones—the ones we hope to spend eternity with—are only expressions of that Oneness, or of the eternal Beloved. The Beloved is ultimately always the same One, no matter which form or forms we recognize It in. In truth, It lives in and animates all beings, and there is no one else, and certainly no one separate from it.
The outer, objective world is only a mirror of our own subjective consciousness. The One lives in all, and all are in the One.
In the 'Spanda Karikas,' a major text of Kashmir Shaivism, it is said: One who knows the Self sees the entire universe as a series of reflections in a mirror.
Since there is no true separation between you and your loved ones now, why should there come to be any separation later? Will we be less aware or appreciative of our loved ones in the next realm than we are in this one? No, we will be more aware of them, much closer to them, and we will experience more intimacy than what is possible in this dense physical world with its limitations of space, time, and circumstance. These bodies can only get so close. The subtle world is far-out and limitless.
Love is eternal. We are love. We are eternal. All that exists is the Truth of the Present Moment. The trick lies in understanding the fullness of exactly what that means on the very highest, deepest, and most expanded level.

Is Britain Going to be Drawn into a War in North Africa?
All the warning signs are appearing after the crisis in Algeria at the Amenas gas plant.
Prime Minister David Cameron has issued a 'warning' that the "terrorist threat" from the Islamic militants in Algeria and surrounding Saharan Africa is similar to that in Afghanistan ten years ago when British troops were first sent out to Helmand.
There are dangerous signals coming out of Downing Street - first it was military transport assistance to French forces being deployed against jihadist rebels in Mali. Now after the jihadist raid on the Algerian gas installation Cameron is making comparisons to Afghanistan after 9/11.
This is the same path that dragged British troops into the first Gulf War, then into Iraq again, then into Afghanistan a decade ago. Those military involvements stirred up Islamic militants into terrorist attacks in London - if David Cameron drags Britain into a 'War on Terror' against the jihadists in Algeria - it will bring further British military casualties in another foreign war that Britain cannot win and create even greater hostility from the Islamic world.
These are dangerous waters that the British Prime Minister is stepping into.

Shazam Music Distribution, Facebook Live Video and Pandora Browse, February 1, 2016
Shazam entered the music distribution space. And Facebook made its live video feature available to all U.S. iPhone users. Also, Pandora added a new music discovery feature.
Shazam Entering Music Distribution
Shazam announced its foray into music distribution, reported the Wall Street Journal's Digits blog. Previously, Shazam users used the app to identify unfamiliar songs they heard on the radio or at restaurants and other businesses. Now Shazam will offer music that is only available on the app.
RCA Records and Mick Management recently used Shazam to market the new Ray LaMontagne album Ouroboros, which will be released March 4. They sent postcards to 500 of LaMontagne's biggest fans, who then could focus their phone cameras on the postcard inside the Shazam app to follow the singer/songwriter on the app and access a song that has not yet been released to the public. An additional single that was only made available to postcard recipients has already been released.
This marks the first time Shazam Entertainment Ltd. Has promoted music ahead of an album launch. The company is planning to partner with other artists on similar campaigns in the future.
Greg Glenday, Shazam Chief Revenue Officer said, "I think this will give people an idea on how to use us as an engagement tool."
Shazam enjoys over 120 million monthly users, and debuted its image-recognition feature in 2015. It made "Shazam-able" concert posters for Florence + the Machine in October that gave fans the opportunity to win concert tickets. In January, Shazam also launched a promo for Showtime's new series Billions that let fans Shazam dollar bills in order to unlock secret show content.
Facebook's Live Video Feature Now Widely in the U.S.
Facebook made its live video feature available to all U.S. iPhone users on January 28, said AdWeek. The company tested it out on select users in December.
Vadim Lavrusik, product manager announced the rollout in a Newsroom post. He added that live video will be available in other areas of the world "over the coming weeks" and that it is also being developed for Android devices.
Live videos from public figures and friends will now appear in users' news feeds. Users can click or tap the subscribe button while viewing the videos in order to get notifications when more live videos by these friends or public figures are posted.
Lavrusik explained the specifics of the new feature: "To share live video, tap on update status and then select the live video icon. You can write a quick description and choose the audience that you want to share with before going live. During your broadcast, you'll see the number of live viewers, the names of friends who are tuning in and a real-time stream of comments. When you end your broadcast, it will be saved on your Timeline like any other video, which you can then delete or keep for your friends to watch later."
Pandora Adding Music Discovery
Pandora launched a "Browse" section in order to promote new music discovery. According to The Next Web, it is another push by the company designed to help it better compete with Spotify and other on-demand streaming services. Pandora recently bought Rdio and also introduced a personalized radio station.
"Browse" will change and add new artists based on users' listening activity. New music can now also be previewed on a station before being added to users' stations list.
"Browse" is the first Pandora feature that allows users to have some input into the kind of music they discover. Previously, they were just given recommendations. This feature is important if Pandora wants to continue to keep pace with Spotify and Apple Music.
Pandora also now offers metrics that reveal how many people are listening to a specific station so users as well as artists can get a better idea of the music's popularity and distinguish the "hidden gems" from the mainstream hits.
The Pandora app will also be adding some other features. Users can organize their stations by recent use or alphabetical order. There is also a new artist page that offers more available information. Also added was one-tap access to the mini-player, located at the bottom of the app.
"Browse" is available on iOS in the U.S., Australia and New Zealand, but will be launching on Android shortly. It is not currently available on the desktop version of Pandora.

Wacky in life, wackier on poster.
Look, I'd like to take a moment to point out that this caption is totally biased against machines. I mean, I can look with my own two eyes and see that Moammar Qaddafi is defaced with a Star of David and some fangs, but I highly doubt that some search engine somewhere would be able to pick that up all on its non-human own. Ergo, I'd like to use this opportunity to help Google out a bit.

Smartphones are getting more and more powerful. Even now, as I type this, there'll be scientists and engineers working out how to fit more powerful chips into smaller spaces, and working out the possibility of our phones becoming sentient and taking over the world in a terrifying robotic coup.
But all of that power is useless if it's used incorrectly. Polygons and frame rates and anti-aliasing are just jargon-y words if the game they're wrapped around is a bit rubbish. Just because a device can emulate N64 games, it doesn't mean that it should all of the time. Take Block Rogue, for example.
It's a beautifully simple puzzle game, presented with hardly any visual pizzazz, and yet it still manages to be more endearing than a bucket full of manly 3D shooters. You play as the eponymous rogue, and your job is to slide a number of blocks into the right squares in order to unlock the dungeon room you're in and move onto the next.
There are hundreds of rooms to work your way through, though in story mode you'll only go through 25 of them in one game. The controls are slick and original, with slow finger swipes in the desired direction moving your little rogue around the level.
The game finds just the right balance between cuteness, great gameplay and humor. There's a magic mirror on hand to relay the story to you via short, jokey snippets and short levels means the game fits perfectly into those quick-snatch gaming sessions that smartphones do so well.
Block Rogue is the sort of game that you start playing of an evening, then don't stop. It's brilliantly addictive, weaving a charming spell that entangles itself with your brain and your heart. The twee stylings may not be for everyone, and the controls do take a little bit of getting used to, but those are minor hurdles in the way of Block Rogue's triumphant sprint to classic-app status.

According to some sellers who have reportedly been briefed on the fee changes, eBay is planning to:
- Reduce listing fees and increase final-sale fees on high-ticket items.
- Offer bulk-listing discounts.
The good news is that eBay appears to be focused on its core business again. We outlined our four-step plan for fixing the company here. We recommend reducing fees, but just reducing them--not adjusting them to reduce front-end listing fees but increasing back-end sales commissions (yes, this would hurt the company's performance in the short term). We also think eBay should retire Meg Whitman.

Free accommodation in exchange for English practic (Kiev)
We are a friendly Russian speaking family living in Kiev, Ukraine. We are looking for a native English speaker (m/f) to practice English with us. We are ready to provide free accommodation in a private room and complimentary 3 meals per day in exchange for the English lessons/practice. We are a family of 3 myself, Elena Protected content , my mum, Nathalie Protected content and my husband, Serge Protected content . We live in a very pleasant and bright house which is situated in the countryside around 15 km away from the nearest Metro Station in Kiev. There are regular buses in to the city plus we travel there by cars also.
The real purpose of the English tutorials will be to improve my husbands English language skills for his job. So he will be the main focus of the conversational English - and he will be available in the evenings after he returns from work for maybe 1 hour and again at weekends for a few hours also. The schedule will not be intense as we wish it to be enjoyable for you and for him. When Serge and me are at work my mother will be pleased to show you around our village as well as introduce you to the truly beautiful city that is Kiev. Or you are of course at liberty to do entirely as you wish during the day. Perhaps even work somewhere else? We are very flexible and easy family, truly.
Please email me at Protected content or call me at Protected content discuss further with us, ideally you will have previous teaching experience or be a TEFL / Celta certificate holder but it's not a must. We just want a native speaker. We would love to hear from you as soon as is possible.
Kind regards,

The national advocacy body Australian Vignerons, is in danger of winding up if support fails to increase in coming months. The organisation has written to stakeholders making it clear that unless support is forthcoming the board will have no alternative but to start the wind-up process.
Wine Grape Growers Australia (WGGA) was formed more than a decade ago to provide a national voice for Australian grape growers. It has recently undergone a structural reform and change to trading name to ensure its relevance to industry stakeholders. The changes to membership, board and structure proposed in a new constitution received unanimous support when offered to members at the special general meeting in September 2016. However, this support has not been reflected in increased membership outside of South Australia and Western Australia.
Australian Vignerons provides a national voice for those who grow and make wine, and who are not supported by Winemakers' Federation of Australia.
Australian Vignerons CEO Andrew Weeks is philosophical about the future of the national body.
"The Chair, the board and I have done all we can to provide vignerons (both wine growers and wine makers) a voice into the future," Weeks said.
"No one has offered an alternative to the proposed reform.
"It is up to the Australian wine industry to support this body if they want it to succeed. If not, the only remaining national voice for the Australian wine industry will be that of the Winemakers' Federation."
Weeks said that this did not reflect apprehension toward the WFA, but was a statement that without Australian Vignerons the national grower voice would disappear, and the Australian Government could not be confident of effectively engaging with the Australian wine industry.
"One of our members puts it perfectly – a national advocacy body is vital insurance against poor policy being implemented, which can lead to damaging outcomes. Australian Vignerons was an important voice in recent WET rebate discussion and the move toward reform. It is an important voice to guide research and development priorities; without Australian Vignerons, grape growers will still have to pay compulsory research levies, but they will no longer have a say in how those levies will be invested in projects that affect their businesses."
"We can only assume that despite direct communications with state and regional bodies, personal presentations at state and regional meetings, numerous media releases and regular newsletters in the Grapegrower and Winemaker clearly stating the current situation, that potential members do not understand the value, or do not see value in the organisation. We are not sure if growers in all regions fully appreciate the gravity of what might unfold if this does occur. State and regional bodies do not have a national remit, and cannot provide national representation. Assistant Minister Ruston has made this point clear many times."
"On a crude average the cost to maintain Australian Vignerons works out to around 18c per tonne of grapes crushed in the 2016 vintage. If the industry is unwilling to invest 18c in Australian Vignerons for each tonne of fruit produced, then it has a problem."
Australian Vignerons continues to strive to increase its membership to a sustainable level in a bid to preserve the national voice of growers and makers of wine, for the benefit of the whole wine community. Failure to attract membership from regions in Victoria, New South Wales, Tasmania, Queensland and the warm inland regions by April this year will result in the wind up of Australia's national grower organisation.

Build a better pea sheller and thousands (well, maybe dozens) of people with raw, ragged thumbnails will beat a path to your door. Why? If you have to ask, chances are you've never spent an afternoon with a couple of bushels of peas, first running your thumb along one pod—to extricate its contents—and then another, and then another, and then another, and then another, and then another, and . . . yowch!
In pursuit of a less painful way to separate peas from pods, mankind has succeeded in producing some truly classic studies in technological inefficiency: little knives that'll cut you quicker than you can cuss . . . roller gizmos that transform tender, garden-green orbs into a pulverized mass . . . and even an electric model that costs a good deal more than you're likely to spend on seed peas in a lifetime.
But all is not lost. A good, simple, inexpensive pea sheller does exist. And you can make one in just a few minutes for about a quarter.
First, cut a 2" block from a piece of unplaned 1 X 2 pine scrap (or any leftover lumber of reasonably similar size). Then drill a hole through the wood across the grain . . . you'll want the cavity to be slightly larger than the diameter of the pea pods you'll be shelling, so choose a drill bit accordingly.
Next, clamp the block securely in a vise so that the bored ends are exposed. Using pliers to hold it, center a new No. 24 bevel-edge X-Acto blade (available at almost any hobby or hardware store for about 25 cents) on top of the block, point down and aligned with the hole, as shown in the diagram. Now, drive the blade into the wood with a few light taps from a hammer so that the point extends about an eighth of an inch into the cavity, or just far enough to cut the shell and not the peas when you push or pull a pod—convex side up—through the tunnel.
Once you have the blade's depth just right, use pliers to break the top of the cutter off, and then file down any rough edges. You might also want to cut a notch or a couple of grooves into the top of the block, so that—as you sit on the front porch methodically shelling peas and jawing with your neighbors—you won't have to look down constantly just to tell which side of the sheller is up.
And that's all there is to it. The slit made by the blade allows you to pop the peas out of their shells in nothing flat. Before you know it, you'll have a potful of produce ready for cooking or canning . . . and your thumb will still be as good as ever!

Stop Stansted Expansion in Airports Commission High Court ruling call
Criteria underpinning decisions over new runways are "infected by apparent bias", a campaign group claims.
The Airports Commission was set up in 2012 to examine runway capacity and future "connectivity needs".
Stop Stansted Expansion (SSE) claims a former commissioner had a conflict of interest and says the High Court should delay any publication of options.
The Department for Transport denies claims of bias and said "decisions taken to date are robust".
At the High Court in London, Mrs Justice Patterson said she will make a decision on the matter in writing at a later date.
The campaign group's claims centre on the role of Geoff Muirhead, who is a former former chief executive of Manchester Airports Group (MAG), the owners of Stansted since February.
In September, he stepped down as one of the five commissioners appointed by the Commission after SSE warned Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin they would take legal action if he stayed.
SSE claims he retired as MAG's chief executive after 22 years with the group but was then immediately reappointed as "a highly paid ambassador to MAG, a role he continued to fulfil even after he was appointed to the Airports Commission".
'Acted properly'
Brian Ross, SSE's economics adviser, said: "With proposals on the table from MAG to make Stansted the world's busiest airport with four runways handling up to 160 million passengers a year, there is far too much at stake to allow the issue of apparent bias to go unchallenged.
"For almost a year, Mr Muirhead was allowed to play a pivotal role on the commission as its only commissioner with first hand knowledge and experience of the aviation industry."
Mr Ross said it was not enough simply to remove Mr Muirhead from the Commission.
SSE wants the High Court to order the commission, chaired by Sir Howard Davies, "to re-visit certain key decisions made by the Commission during the time that Mr Muirhead was involved".
The Department for Transport maintain that Mr Muirhead "acted properly" at the commission but stood down to "avoid any perception of a potential conflict of interest".
A DfT spokesman said: "Both the department and Sir Howard agree that there is no evidence whatsoever of bias and the Airports Commission is content that decisions taken to date are robust."
An Airports Commission spokesman rejected SSE's claims and described its processes to date as "appropriate and robust".
The spokesman said its selection criteria "were informed by public consultation and incorporate a wide range of environmental, economic and social factors - including local environmental issues such as impacts on landscape and the built heritage."

It doesn't look like Steve Bannon is welcomed back in Tinseltown.
President Donald Trump's former aide, who started as an executive producer in Hollywood in the 1990s, has since produced 19 films — most of which bombed.
If Bannon had any plans to throw his hat back in the ring, he'd better think again.
Hollywood superstar George Clooney destroyed Bannon at the Toronto International Film Festival, claiming former producer and financier would be sucking up to him if he was still trying to be a big-screen big shot.
"Steve Bannon is a failed f*cking screenwriter, and if you've ever read (his) screenplay, it's unbelievable," Clooney told Entertainment Weekly.
"Now, if he'd somehow managed miraculously to get that thing produced, he'd still be in Hollywood, still making movies and licking my ass to get me to do one of his stupid-ass screenplays."
Clooney is also not a fan of Bannon's Breitbart website — which has targeted the actor's political views over the last couple of years.
"I'd be ashamed 10 years from now if those weasely little putzes, whose voices are getting a lot higher every week as this presidency starts to look worse and worse weren't still (after me)," Clooney said.
