Detailed Description
Perl releases will be now every year and updates during year will be containing mainly bug fixes. The release 5.14.0 should be stable release, but 5.14.1 should contain bugfixes for issues introduced in 5.14.0.
Benefit to Fedora
Fedora as bleeding edge distribution should be shipping new release of perl as one of the first distributions.
Everything will be rebuilt in testing buildroot dist-f16-perltest. 'fedpkg build --target dist-f16-perltest'
- update perl to 5.14.1
- update/fix/rebuild all perl modules
- rebuild all other dependent packages -> file bugs to maintainers
- in case no basic component is broken, then the packages could be tagged into dist-f16 buildroot
How To Test
Download packages from koji's buildroot dist-f16-perltest or try your packages with rebuild build requirements related to perl.
User Experience
Users could creatively use syntax: 'given' or smart matching '~~'.
repoquery --whatrequires --alldeps 'perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.1?.?)' | sort -u
Contingency Plan
In case some essential packages couldn't be fixed, then would be used perl-5.12.3.
Some packages seem to be unfixable, therefore they should be removed if they don't have any other dependencies.
- changes between 5.12.3 and 5.14.x http://perldoc.perl.org/perldelta.html
- packaging guidelines http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Perl
- how to update modules and dual-lived modules: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Perl/updates
- new macros from rpm with different filter http://rpm.org/wiki/PackagerDocs/DependencyGenerator
- external generator of dependencies (outside of rpm) perl.{prov,req}
Release Notes
Notable changes in Perl 5.14 include:
* Unicode 6.0 support, along with many, many improvements to our Unicode-related features * Improved support for IPv6 * Significantly easier autoconfiguration of the CPAN client * A new /r flag which makes s/// substitutions non-destructive * New regular expression flags to control whether matched strings should be treated as ASCII or Unicode * New "package Foo { }" syntax * Uses less memory and CPU than previous releases * A swathe of bug fixes, a large number associated with the work of Dave Mitchell (http://news.perlfoundation.org/2011/05/fixing-perl5-core-bugs-report-11.html) who has been fixing some deep bugs thanks to a TPF grant;
Perl 5.14.x features numerous new features, optimizations and bugfixes. You can find a complete list of these changes on the web at:

One thing that I notice every year in other sewing bloggers' resolutions (ha! I say "every year" as if I've been doing this for years, but no, this is only the second time I've been participating in the online sewing community) is the desire to get rid of stash fabrics. Somehow, despite our best intentions, we all manage to collect more fabric than we can sew, and that takes up valuable room in both our sewing spaces and our minds! So when Emily aka EmSewCrazy contacted me and suggested that we host a stashbusting sewalong challenge for 2013, I was super excited. I've participated in other sewalongs and challenges before (like Me Made May and the Sew Weekly) and had tons of fun, but I've never started one before, but 2013 is the year of trying new things, so here goes!
Wait, what's this all about?
The 2013 Stashbusting Sewalong is a casual sewalong whose goal is to encourage us to reduce the size of our stashes. If you've got more fabric than you know what to do with, join Emily and me as we systematically purge our stashes by sewing items to fit a series of themes. We've got a whole schedule that you can follow if you need that kind of structure, or you can just join us by pledging to destash in your own way; it doesn't matter if you want to follow our themes, as long as you use up that stash fabric. Either way, we know we're in it together, and we know that others will be cheering us on as we go. If it takes a village to raise a child, well, it takes an online community to bust a stash!
Here's how you can join us!
- Leave a comment here or on Emily's blog with your pledge: "I, _______,commit to using ____ pieces of stash fabric in 2013. Additional option: I also commit to not buying any new fabric/patterns/ notions except for _______ until ______."
- Post on your blog (if you have one) about your commitment! There's nothing like accountability and public shaming to get us to use up fabric that's been lingering in our stashes. Please share the link back to this post so others can join in if they want.
- Join our Flickr group! Whether you have a blog or not, this is where you can post photos of your stash, your plans, and (hopefully!) your finished projects. We can encourage each other and gush over the reduced piles together at the end of the year.
- In one of those above options, tell us about what pieces you would like to use up this year:
- how much there is,
- how long it's been in your stash,
- what your original intentions were when you bought each piece, and
- what you would like to make from it this year.
- Be reasonable and kind to yourself, though -- as tempting as it would be to list everything, the point of this challenge isn't to make us feel guilty at the end of the year about our failed plans. Choose pieces that you could conceivably sew up this year; don't choose everything. If you've got a gorgeous piece in your stash that doesn't match your current lifestyle or sewing skill level, feel free to leave it in the stash to wait a little longer. Its day will come! It's just not this day, and that is okay.
So what's this about themes and challenges I hear?
- January: Itty Bits! Sew up those remnants left over from another project, use up some of those tiny scraps that you've been saving...as long as it's less than a yard of fabric, it counts!
- February: THE LOVE CHALLENGE.
- March: Impending Seasonal Change. Regardless of your hemispherical location, the weather will be changing soon...what will you make? Something fun for the coming spring, or something cozy for fall?
- April: THE VIBRANT COLOR CHALLENGE.
- May: THE KNIT CHALLENGE.
- June: Containment! Get ready for those long car trips, summer outings or some good old fashioned cleaning and organizing! We're thinking bags, boxes, totes, purses, pouches, you name it; this month is all about making things to put other things in.
Okay, I think I'm in! I made my pledge and joined the Flickr group, now what?
Start sewing up those scraps for January! Emily and I have a very helpful Pinterest board going with all sorts of ideas for using up scraps, so you can check it out if you need inspiration. It's up to you if you want to post every month about your project on your blog, but we encourage you to interact with your fellow stashbusters, whether it's through Flickr or blog comments. Besides documenting our own projects, Emily and I will also post round-ups each month of your makes so that you can see all of your fellow stashbusters' projects gathered into one place.
Lastly, if you want to proudly proclaim to the world (or just to the people who have to share a living space with!) that you are Finally Doing Something about that stash, you can grab this nifty button for your blog's sidebar:
The button features a Sewasaurus Rex tackling a piece of stash fabric in a rather, uhh...extreme manner. It was done by one of my former chemistry students; you can check out more of Jen's amazing artwork here, or you can contact her here.
Yeah, yeah, that's great, but what about you? Are you just going to laugh at our stashes and not show your own?
I've got a whole lot of stash fabric that I need to sew up before we move in June, so I am definitely going for serious stashbusting this year. Bonus points to me if I manage to make things that also work for the Historical Sew Fortnightly! Look for a post tomorrow featuring my own guilt-inducing piles and what I plan to make from them.
What about Walnut? Is he stashbusting too?
Nope. Walnut's all about saving all the stash fabric for sleeping on.
You take this fabric away, lady, and you will pay. Do I look like I'm joking? |
Ahhh, see, that's much better. |
Isn't that just like a cat, to be diametrically opposed to everything you want to accomplish?

I had a bunch of pumpkin puree leftover that needed to be used and I figured that it was the perfect opportunity to make one of my favourite pumpkin dishes, pumpkin pie pancakes, and to update the photos for the recipe! Pumpkin pie pancakes are one of my favourites because they are so nice and light, fluffy, moist and tender and not only do they taste just like pumpkin pie but they are so quick and easy to make! I mean really, it is as simple as mixing the dry ingredients, mixing the wet ingredients, mixing them together and the cooking the pancakes! In the past I would normally have served these pumpkin pie pancakes smothered in maple syrup but more recently I have been liking the pumpkin and caramel flavour combo and since homemade caramel sauce is so easy to make that is the way that I went this time. One of the nice things about caramel sauce is that when it is cool it is nice and thick but if you warm it up a bit it becomes much more fluid, like a syrup, which is perfect for pancakes!
Oh, my! Pumpkin pie pancakes smothered in caramel sauce; it's just like having dessert for breakfast!
If you want to be a bit more decadent you could use a vanilla bourbon caramel sauce !
Just look at all of that sweet, sweet caramel sauce dripping down the sides!

Of diabetes and drought: 2012 in food
Most Americans never will sip the watermelon margarita at Guy Fieri's behemoth Times Square restaurant, nor savor the chicken Alfredo at the Olive Garden in Grand Forks, N.D.
Yet both eateries somehow shot to the top of the nation's culinary zeitgeist in 2012, for this was the year of the viral restaurant review, when the rants and raves of seasoned pros and naive octogenarians alike got superstar treatment on the world wide smorgasbord.
It was a year when drought crippled farmers while Californians clamored for foie gras. Twinkies died and Paula Deen endorsed a diabetes drug. Which is to say, it was a year when the unlikely was the norm.
While restaurateurs bemoaned the influence of Yelp and other social media review sites, 85-year-old Grand Forks Herald restaurant columnist Marilyn Hagerty cut through the noise, heaping near rhapsodic praise on the fine dining at her community's latest chain restaurant. All she wanted to do was get to her bridge game, but her review became a must-read sensation.
And lest they be considered elite for dissing her devotion to this fine fare, the nation's culinary upper crust rushed to praise her. It was an amusing — and embarrassing — display of the food world's split personality, an ever growing chasm between how real Americans eat, and how real foodies want real Americans to eat. Either way, Hagerty did OK for herself, landing a book deal with Anthony Bourdain.
Meanwhile, New York Times reviewer Pete Wells scored a celeb smackdown when he slammed Fieri's New York restaurant, Guy's American Kitchen & Bar, in a scathing 1,000-word review written almost entirely in questions. Wells took heat for beating on Food Network's bad boy, but the review — which tore across Twitter the instant it was posted — certainly drove hordes to Fieri's tables, even if only to rubberneck the culinary accident.
Speaking of restaurants taking a beating, the Chick-fil-A chain earned plenty of scorn — and some support — this summer when company president Dan Cathy came out about his opposition to same sex marriage. The dustup spawned online "Chick-fil-Gay" mockery, but ended with the company saying it would stop funding anti-gay marriage groups.
Another revelation — Twinkies may not last forever. Blaming a labor dispute for ongoing financial woes, Hostess Brands decided to close shop this year, taking with it lunch box staples such as Twinkies, Ding Dongs and Wonder bread. The company said it would try to sell off its many storied brands, so maybe there is hope for the mysteriously enduring snack cakes.
California's foie gras fans may not get a similar second chance. Despite opposition by the state's restaurant industry, as of July it became illegal to sell foie gras — which is made from goose or duck livers enlarged by force-feeding through funnel-like tubes.
Back in New York, the too-cool-for-you folks spent the summer angsting over whether Brooklyn really did have a hip dining scene. Not that anyone outside New York gives a flying (artisanal bacon-wrapped) fig. But silly one-upmanship gave way to legit worry — and unity — when Superstorm Sandy dealt a devastating blow to the city's restaurant scene.
For this year's truly hot food scene, you needed to head south. Because THE South is where it's happening. Hugh Acheson, Tim Love, John Besh and a gaggle of others are putting a fresh face on what it means to eat well when you're below the Mason-Dixon Line, and the rest of the country started to wake up to this.
And then there's Paula Deen, the doyenne of butter, deep-frying and — at least this year — public relations travesties. Though diagnosed with diabetes several years ago, she waited until January — coincidentally when she also had lined up a lucrative drug endorsement deal — to go public with it. She came off looking money-grubbing, and an opportunity to educate Americans about a devastating disease was mostly lost.
But Americans did learn plenty about their hamburgers. In March, the Internet exploded with worry over so-called pink slime, or what the meat industry prefers to call lean finely textured beef. Though it had been part of the food chain for years, by the end of the kerfuffle the product had all but disappeared.
Filling your grocery cart was — and will continue to be — costly. This summer's massive drought in the U.S. devastated famers and drove up global food prices. And the hardship isn't over. Analysts say we can expect food prices here to go up by as much as 4 percent in 2013.
Food safety also was a headline grabber. For the first time ever, the Food and Drug Administration used newly granted authority to shutter a company without a court hearing. In November, the government shut down Sunland Inc., the country's largest organic peanut butter processor, after repeated food safety violations.
Meanwhile, the nation's kids seem to be sick of being told to eat healthier. Nutritionists praised the most significant overhaul of federal school lunch standards in years, but the kids in the lunch lines were less impressed; schools reported more food landing uneaten in the trash.
But the kids won't get much sympathy in New York City, where a first-in-the-nation ban on eateries selling sodas larger than 16 ounces means slurping a monster gulper is going to require double fisting.
At times this year it felt like the food world belonged to the geeks, and the rest of us just eat in it. Nathan Myhrvold's science chic approach to cooking continued to woo foodies, and even the more populist folks at Cook's Illustrated magazine got in on the act with a new cookbook, "The Science of Good Cooking."
Now let's talk trends. Kale was the unlikely darling of 2011, but it started to lose its luster this year. Beets are making a bid for top slot, and would actually stand a chance if they didn't stain your fingers so much. Americans fell in love with dark meat, finally realizing what chefs have known all along — chicken breasts are the tofu of the meat world. Dark meat actually has flavor.
Craft beer remains a growing market, but hipster drinkers know it's the hard stuff that's happening. Barrel aged cocktails and micro distilleries are raging hot. Chia seeds also are trying to be hip, and though they've wormed their way into numerous bottled drinks, they will forever suffer from the Ch-ch-ch-chia! effect. If you want to seem impossibly hip, saute or bake something with coconut oil. But don't be caught dead sipping coconut water. That's so 2011.
By the way, we get it! Any food served out of a truck or from a restaurant that "pops up" is outrageously better than any other food. And eating it makes you impossibly cool. Now can we please move on to another food world flavor of the week?
And would somebody please, for the love of all that is good, please kill off the cake pop phenomenon?

We had talked about getting together and she texted me that she'd be at this one restaurant with friends...my dad and I went to the Strand and then walked to the restaurant just to pop in but they weren't there. We kept walking and went into one place that looked cute and WHO WOULD BE THERE EXCEPT JULIA HERSELF? Her phone had died so she couldn't text me that they weren't .at the first restaurant..we talked for a while and then my dad and I ate dinner and then we came back and talked some more. She is one of the sweetest people ever...it is impossible to not want to plan a shopping/Woody Allen movies day after talking with her for five minutes.
And...books bought at The Strand.The Gashlycrumb Tinies by Edward Gorey-No explanation needed. It's genius! And a classic! When you like stories about little children that are killed! (Also Edward Gorey is the Edward fellow who is not amused in my sidebar to those who ask)
Fashon Now 2-I have to be honest, when I first saw a BOOK called FASHION NOW, I was kind of..wtf? It's a BOOK. Not a magazine, which is periodical and very..NOW-y. I thought it would make more sense for i-D to just have done a super duper special edition issue with all their trends since, yknow, it's fashion NOW, and soon NOW will not be NOW. And books are things that generally last even when NOW becomes...then? And magazines are more about NOW. Ok, I think you get it by now (NOW). (You know, after a while, the word NOW looks really funny).
ANYWAY, after actually, erm, y'know, LOOKING AT THE BOOK I saw that it's about designers and not trends and that obviously made more sense. I haven't gotten a good look through it yet but I can vouch for the pictures being very pretty! Er.
D.V. by Diana Vreeland-I usually don't buy books until I've read them and know that I need to own them (aside from when I bought Invisible Monsters which was..a waste of money) but D.V. is kind of a must, DUH. Can't wait to read this.
Also, Part One of September issue reviews coming up...

Legal Dictionary
HAND. That part of the human body at the end of the arm. 2. Formerly the hand was considered as the symbol of good faith, and some contracts derive their names from the fact that the hand was used in making them; as handsale, (q.v.) mandatum, (q.v.) which comes from a mandata. The hand is still used for various legal or forensic purposes. When a person is accused of a crime and he is arraigned, and he is asked to hold up his right hand; and when one is sworn as a witness, he is required to lay his right hand on the Bible, or to hold it up. 3. Hand is also the name of a measure of length used in ascertaining the height of horses. It is four inches long. See Measure: Ell. 4. In a figurative sense, by hand is understood a particular form of writing; as if B writes a good hand. Various kinds of hand have been used, as, the secretary hand, the Roman hand, the court hand, &c. Wills and contracts may be written in any of these, or any other which is intelligible.

Arizona's controversial immigration law will indeed be getting a hearing before the U.S. Supreme Court, it was just announced.
Long expected, the court's decision to weigh in could help settle whether the law — known as SB 1070 for its bill number in the Arizona Senate — encroaches on federal law because, in large part, of its provision that would require the police to determine the immigration status of a person they have detained and whether the suspect is in the country illegally.
A federal appeals court previously blocked several of the law's provisions, including the one involving checking the immigration status. The Obama administration has challenged the law. The state has wanted the High Court to take up the issue.
Justice Elena Kagan will be recused and did not take part in the decision to hear the case because when she was U.S. Solicitor General she was involved in the administration's decision to challenge SB 1070.

There is a single chart — three colored lines on a grid — that shapes the political reality of this country. During the 2012 campaign, one of President Obama's senior strategists called it "the North Star" and started his internal PowerPoint presentations with it. When Republican majority leader Eric Cantor speaks on Tuesday about his vision for the future of the Republican Party, the chart's central message will bind together his words.
The chart tracks three economic trends in the U.S. over the last two decades, between 1992 and 2009. The first two lines — productivity and per capita gross domestic product — are rising. This is the unmistakable American success story, the one reflected in record corporate profits, growing wealth accumulation and the unmatched efficiency of this country's economy. The third line tracks median household income, as measured by the U.S. Census. It shows the story of frustration and stagnation that so many Americans long ago accepted as a reality.
Shortly after 2000, the lines diverged. The economy hummed along, but many Americans, the ones politicians typically refer to as the middle class, stopped feeling the benefits. There are many reasons for the change, and some of them are open to economic debate. (The Congressional Research Service issued a paper [PDF] on the divergence in 2006 so that politicians could make sense of it.) Part of the shift can be attributed to increased income inequality owing to globalization and new technology — the wealthy becoming much wealthier, while the rest stayed the same. Part of it can be attributed to increased corporate profits, as new markets opened overseas and new technology lowered costs. Some of it has to do with how the figures are calculated. But the most important political takeaway of the chart is that at the turn of a new century, much of the U.S. stopped feeling the benefits of a growing national economy.
The chart (above) was originally created by NDN and the New Policy Institute, and it helped Democrats change the way they talked about the frustration of the American people. Shortly after the 2010 election, Simon Rosenberg, who runs those left-leaning think tanks, showed the chart to David Axelrod and David Simas, two of Obama's top political advisers. The point of his presentation was that the emergency of the first two years of the Obama presidency — the Great Recession, brought on by financial collapse — did not explain the economic suffering and resulting anger felt by so many voters. Instead it was a more recent manifestation of a trend that had begun nearly a decade earlier.
"The reason this is happening is because of rising global competition, the defining new economic challenge of our time," Rosenberg said in a recent interview with TIME. "In the actual experience of the American economy, there has become an enormous gap between the upper one-third and everyone else."
Simas led the opinion-research effort for the 2012 Obama campaign, and he told me after the election that the chart hung in his Chicago office, along with a caption he derived from a focus-group participant: "I'm working harder and falling behind." (That same line became a fixture of the President's stump speech.) The Obama campaign built its strategy to attack Mitt Romney by focusing on the flat red line of median household income. Romney struggled to focus the country's attention on the suffering and was never able to escape the Obama campaign's characterization of him as the candidate who didn't understand. By the end of the campaign, Romney became the candidate who understood GDP and productivity, a corporate turnaround artist out of touch with reality. As polls showed, Obama was the one who better understood the struggles of the middle class.
This is why Cantor's speech on Tuesday is worth watching. It will be a full-throated effort to reclaim the median-household-income line for the Republican Party. He will mention the stagnation. He will describe Republican solutions aimed at addressing decade-old frustrations: new federal help for paying for school, tax code simplification and a renewed focus on R&D investment. His rhetoric will strongly echo Obama's campaign stump speech. "Lately it has become all too common in our country to hear parents fear whether their children will indeed have it better than they," Cantor will say, according to early excerpts of his speech. "Our goal: to ensure every American has a fair shot at earning their success and achieving their dreams."
For much of the 2012 campaign, Republicans contented themselves with a message focused on decreased federal spending and debt, two policies that addressed the aftermath of the Great Recession but offered no solutions to the economic struggles that had begun a decade earlier. With Cantor's speech, there is the beginnings of a shift. Like Obama after the 2010 election, Republicans are now directly addressing the fears and frustrations that have been at the heart of each federal election since 2006, a feeling of the country in decline as manifested by stagnant take-home pay. If the 2012 election has any lasting import, it is that fiscally conservative austerity politics alone will not win the day. It must be paired with a broader message. The most important chart in American politics can no longer be ignored.

Shakes on a plane aren't all that funny to the Federal Aviation Administration.
Colorado College's ultimate frisbee team last month convinced the crew aboard a Frontier Airlines fight to let them do the "Harlem Shake."
But now that the video of their fun has gone sort-of viral, the FAA is looking into whether some safety rules may have been violated.
As the college's student-run newssite — The Catalyst — puts it:
"Something aboard a Frontier Airlines flight across the Rocky Mountain West caught the attention of federal investigators last week. Perhaps it was the passengers banging on the ceiling, walls and floor of the cabin, or maybe how most of the passengers were out of their seats, jumping up and down.
"The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating a group of Colorado College students and a Frontier flight crew for a video that was shot in the air during Flight 157 of a Airbus A320 on Feb. 15, an airline spokesperson and federal officials confirmed this week."
According to The Associated Press, "FAA spokesman Allen Kenitzer said Thursday they're looking at what phase the flight was in during the dance in the aisles. Frontier Airlines says the seatbelt sign was off and safety measures were followed." The flight was headed to San Diego.
The sophomore who recorded the performance, Matt Zelin, tells The Catalyst that "obviously I hope that this whole situation is solved with the FAA. ... I don't see there being any reason why this should cause any trouble. We asked the staff and they said it was safe."
The team says it not only asked the cabin crew for permission to do the shake, but also asked the other passengers — many of whom obviously decided to get in on the fun.
If you're not up on the Harlem Shake, the AP describes the trend this way: "In the suddenly popular YouTube videos, one person starts dancing, then the video cuts to a large group of people dancing, many in costume."
The Catalyst, though, calls it "a fading fad."

TalkYay!How will it be structured? I'm happy to fill in a few bits i know about, but I've no idea where to start :)
how to and basic help with Kineme3DI also feel some confusion about your tools. Vimeo speed tutorials are somewhat nice but details are hard to read and follow. I think you would greatly help your cause and users with a few simple examples and basic setups bundled with Kineme3D. When you buy|use a new product you don't want to wander through a wiki or forums. Best regards and thanks for some great tools! M.A
kineme3d samplesIn the DMG there are numerous sample compositions that show the basics of how things work, hopefully satisfying the "few simple examples and basic setups" and "bundled with Kineme3D" requirements simultaneously. Did you perhaps have something else in mind?
being slightly cheeky...you've just added to the confusion of kineme 1.0; now there's an extra channel for content to go, and there's no effort at differentiating one from the other or structuring what should go here. i'm not against wikis, i think kineme 2.0 should have one associated with the patches, i'm just a bit confused by this move.
ha... and i've just realisedthat my rant about structuring the site and the way that drupal sites often encourage somehow this kind of splatter gun content didn't actually get posted as my mbp froze (wtf!) and it got lost in the sea of things i had to get back to.
Wiki for main info source?I'd kind of assumed the wiki would be just a collection of info on QC and the kineme patches. I.e. how to use QC, how to install plugins, what each plugin does and how to use it. There would need to be links to the discussion + original download pages though. But yeah, thinking about it, we've now got a lot of duplicate pages, which is less than ideal. Some guidance from above on how the site is going to be structured would be good :)
Totally confusing :)This move (plus associated confusion) is actually intentional: To ruin the science, I wanted to see what self-emerged, and then use some of that structure to restructure kineme 2.0. I've got my personal opinions as to how it should be structured, but it's been made clear more than a few times that I, as a programmer, think and organize very differently from non-programmer people using this site. Since this is a site that caters to non-programmers, I'd rather y'all make some of that structure. The wiki portion is somewhat designed to finally kill quartzcompositions.com's wiki once and for all, but in a non-hostile way. [perhaps this can be used as a template to start out?] Would it be more helpful if the wiki was a total fork from the drupal nightmare? (i.e. it was a stock mediawiki installation, rather than a collection of wiki-like modules for drupal)
Muddy feetI see, so it's the "wait for tracks to appear in the grass, then you know where to build the paths" approach. Meanwhile, we all get muddy feet ;D As a suggestion to get things moving then, how about the wiki replaces the whole old site? I can see the wiki working as it is now, with a front page, some kind of nicely structured links to the plugins etc., an 'intro to QC' type page with links to various intro/tutorials, and discussion 'in a tab'. That structure could keep the discussion organised too, as you'd have say a GL tools page, with a version history, and a discussion on the talk tab. Anything useful in the chat could be moved to the GL tools wiki page, but I guess the catch will be that the discussion will get too long to be useful, so I think the discussion still needs more optimising (maybe organised by thread like now, but with the most recently updated thread at the top of the list?)
Nice..metaphor, there... alx Quartz Composer Blog: http://machinesdontcare.wordpress.com Music Site: http://www.toneburst.net
modelOk, I think this is what we're going to try (internally, we've been doing a lot of restructuring the past couple days): In the Forums, there are a few new forums (with appropriate permissions):
Each future release will link to a forum topic in the corresponding forum, Where comments will go. Discussion will thus always be in the forums. We're working on a mechanism to lock and archive forum discussions (called "Archiving") that will prevent new comments from getting added. This will be applied to release discussions when an updated release is published. Hopefully this will keep discussions from getting uselessly long, off-topic, and mis-applied. Static content (howtos, reference material) will slowly get moved to the wiki (which is supposed to serve as a reference, not so much a discussion/Q&A thing) as we have time. The ultimate design goal (kineme 1.2?) is that forums will be the active discussions (including, but not limited to, releases), wiki will be the reference material (for QC in general, as well as our stuff I guess?), and everything else (where "everything else" is hopefully a small portion that doesn't get in the way, or is easily coalesced into something higher-level)
now i'm just totallynow i'm just totally confused, and not in a good way. more forums fiddling? an empty wiki? fwiw, i never go into the forums at top level. i'm interested in whats new, or whats related to patches. being cheeky again, if you're going to do the berkley campus experiment then i'd say stop fiddling with the site as-is, in fact freeze it, and work with the wiki alone. see where it gets you.
two-foldthese changes are two-fold: 1) We want to consolidate comments and discussions, so they're easier to find/closer together (hence the forums changes). Hopefully this will make finding "What's new" easier, since it will all be somewhat more in the same place, rather than scattered all over the site (there are lots of good discussions attached to ancient releases... no one sees those anymore). 2) Unrelatedly, we're also making the wiki (in progress) to facilitate non-discussion, static content (how to's, notes on built-in patches, etc), with the hope that it will clean out static content from the forums (there are some documentation-like things in there that shouldn't be there). This is the "what's related to patches" part (non-changing, not new stuff) (beginners have asked for this a few times, like here: http://kineme.net/Discussion/GeneralDiscussion/kinemenet20ReDesign#comment-2021) As far as I can tell, these are the last of the large-ish changes for a while; probably until the 2.0 redesign (whenever that happens...) Just a big clean-up, more or less. Sorry if it's confusing, frustrating, etc.
Secret Lounge ?.Ok I discover the secret lounge !...:) Totally confusing as you said !
Raison d'êtrethe talk stuff is separated from the content here because we want the wiki pages to be "definitive" content, while stuff that's under discussion takes place under the Talk tab (similar to wikipedia). Sorry the comment links to go there directly don't really work...
This is really difficult.This is really difficult. I think I agree there should be a repository of plugins, with just a brief description of each one, and possibly a downloadable example QTZ. The problem is, since this is a site about developing new plugins, it's really hard to make a distinction between stuff about existing plugins, and stuff related to new plugins. I agree completely the previous scheme was very confusing and hard to navigate. On the other hand, we've built up quite a nice little community here, largely through communicating through this site, so something must be right. Maybe the problem is more of a design issue than a data-organisation one. I can see the tabbing approach works for programmers (afterall, you see that kind of thing all the time), but maybe something as simple as putting alternating subtle background colours behind related sub-threads would help the rest of us mere mortals... I know it's a 'bit Excel', but it might work. Just a thought... alx Quartz Composer Blog: http://machinesdontcare.wordpress.com Music Site: http://www.toneburst.net
Re: Kineme DocumentationI had to do a Kineme search to find the 3rd Party Plugins list page to help somebody find an Image PixelS plugin link. I wasn't apparent to me how to find my way to the page through a Heirachical method ie. Goto Kineme home page and find a link to something that looks like the list or might have the list. I've said this before (I know) and I am grateful for kineme.net in its current form but the site organisation — well specifically — the visual representation of its organisation is pretty average for such a big site covering some many roles (shop, support, forums, FAQ, wiki)

AC Service and Repair
As the weather is warming up it's time to make sure that your AC in your vehicle is performing optimally for those hot temperatures that have finally arrived.
Here at Westwood Auto Tec, our highly trained technicians can diagnose any problems that may be causing your system to not be performing to the best of its' ability.
We have up to date training and our technicians are Manitoba certified to handle all aspects of your air conditioning needs. Our shop adheres to stringent Manitoba laws governing the safe testing for leaks and disposal of Ozone depleting products using approved leak testing methods.
What is air conditioning diagnosis?
When the air conditioner stops blowing cold, or starts making a strange noise, a properly trained and certified technician must perform a set of diagnostic tests to understand what component is at fault, and what is needed to complete the repair.
How does the air conditioning system work?
The air conditioner is a group of several components that are responsible for removing heat from the interior of the vehicle, and introducing cool air into the vehicle.
Specific parts of the A/C system perform this function by changing the refrigerant to liquid or gas as needed to cool the evaporator. Air is then passed across the cooled evaporator, and into the cabin for the occupant's comfort.
What are the symptoms of an AC problem?
When the air conditioner fails, the most common symptom is warm air from the vents, but squeaking or grinding noises may be heard from the engine, even through the A/C is working normally. When the air conditioner is activated, the engine idle speed will not dip as it normally would.
Can I drive with an AC problem?
In most situations, a vehicle with a faulty air conditioner is perfectly safe to drive. However, if grinding is heard from the compressor pulley, bearing failure may occur, causing the serpentine belt or drive belt to work its way off the pulley. If the belt breaks or falls off, other necessary belt driven components will stop working as well. If this occurs, the battery warning light will illuminate, and the engine will stall due to lack of electrical power.
How often does the AC system require diagnosis?
Air conditioning diagnostics are so common that many service shops are specialized in heating and A/C repair for motor vehicles. The chances of having the air conditioning serviced during a vehicle's lifetime is very high, but not typically before the 100,000-mile mark has been reached. The most common failures are expansion valves, orifice tubes, and accumulators, since those components are more prone to clogging with contaminants.
How is the AC system diagnosed?
Diagnosis of the air conditioning system requires advanced knowledge of air conditioning systems, and a good understanding of the relationship between temperature and pressure of a liquid and gas. A technician with proper training, and certification is required to repair an air conditioning system. Professional grade equipment is used to read high and low side pressure, and the technician must rely on hours of classroom and hands-on training to understand the readings, diagnose the faulty part, and recommend a repair.
What will be the outcome of an AC system diagnosis?
Replacement of most air conditioning components requires complete evacuation of the air conditioning system with a refrigerant recovery machine. Once components are re-installed, the technician will remove all air from the system in preparation for recharging the system with new refrigerant.
Recommendations for AC systems
Refrigerant is environmentally harmful, and should never be released into the air. Instead, a proper refrigerant recovery machine must be used to protect the technician, and the environment. We do not recommend attempting to recharge the A/C system at home, as products available to consumers tend to contain substances that can cause damage to expensive refrigerant recovery equipment. Lastly, if your vehicle has not been converted from R12 to R134a refrigerant, the best time to have this service completed is when the air conditioning system is already being serviced.
What to look out for with the AC system
Refrigerant is a dangerous chemical that can cause severe chemical burns to the skin and eyes if improperly handled, and discharging into the atmosphere will cause damage to the ozone. Refrigerant types are updated over time, and the appropriate type must be used. If there has been an update or conversion from an older refrigerant type, a label should be placed under the hood to make your technician aware of the change. Depending on location, it may be illegal for a technician to replace refrigerant without updating the A/C system to handle the newest type.
Can I diagnose the AC system myself?
The air conditioning system is not serviceable without proper recovery and evacuation equipment, and attempting to release refrigerant into the air can result in severe chemical burns. Repair of A/C components should be left to certified professionals, and is not considered a DIY job.

From an email.
When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better.
Concentrate on this sentence...
"The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you."
Some years ago, on a hot summer day in south Florida, a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his house. In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out the back door, leaving behind shoes, socks, and shirt as he went.
He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator was swimming toward the shore.
His father working in the yard saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In utter fear, he ran toward the water, yelling to his son as loudly as he could.
Hearing his voice, the little boy became alarmed and made a U-turn to swim to his father. It was t oo late. Just as he reached his father, the alligator reached him.
From the dock, the father grabbed his little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched his legs. That began an incredible tug-of-war between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the father, but the father was much too passionate to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard his screams, raced from his truck, took aim and shot the alligator.
Remarkably, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred by the vicious attack of the animal. And, on his arms, were deep scratches where his father's fingernails dug into his flesh in his effort to hang on to the son he loved.
The newspaper reporter who interviewed the boy after the trauma, asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted his pant legs. And then, with obvious pride, he said to the reporter, "But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my Dad wouldn't let go."
You and I can identify with that little boy. We have scars, too. No, not from an alligator, but the scars of a painful past. Some of those scars are unsightly and have caused us deep regret. But, some wounds, my friend, are because God has refused to let go. In the midst of your struggle, He's been there holding on to you.
The Scripture teaches that God loves you. You are a child of God He wants to protect you and provide for you in every way. But sometimes we foolishly wade into dangerous situations, not knowing what lies ahead. The swimming hole of life is filled with peril - and we forget that the enemy is waiting to attack. That's when the tug-of-war begins - and if you have the scars of His love on your arms, be very, very grateful. He did not and will not ever let you go.
Please pass this on to those you love. God has blessed you, so that you can be a blessing to others. You just never know where a person is in his/her life and what they are going through.
Never judge another persons scars, because you don't know how they got them. Also, it is so important that we are not selfish, to receive the blessings of these messages, without forwarding them to someone else.
Right now, someone needs to know that God loves them, and you love them, too - enough to not let them go.
To sender: Thanks a million! It is very meaningful. "...if you have the scars of His love on your arms, be very, very grateful. He did not and will not ever let you go."

Here's to Taking it Easy
Dead Oceans
The title of this album perfectly expresses the mood of this new collection of songs from the ever-talented Matthew Houck, frontman of Phosphorescent. Here's to Taking it Easy is filled with laidback folk melodies that move from the ebullient It's Hard To Be Humble (When You're From Alabama) with its whispers of ska to the more soulful The Mermaid Parade with its evocative lyrics – "Our hearts were on fire only two weeks ago / And our bodies were like livewires down on the beach in Mexico" – and Jesse Anderson Ainslie's hedonistic guitar.
Phosphorescent is currently comprised of musicians who worked with Houck on his 2009 Willie Nelson covers album, To Willie, and the country rock influences are definitely present in this album. With echoes of Ryan Adams and Neil Young, Here's to Taking it Easy is a vibrant, multi-layered and majestic album, both joyful and emotive in turn, and it is a fantastic assembly of songs that already sound like classics.

I've made you wait for this - haven't I? I began receiving emails and FB messages asking me if I had forgotten about my promise to reveal not only the recipe, but many of you were very keen on hearing what a studmuffin is!
First allow me to thank everyone for the fantastic Birthday wishes on my teaser post, for the emails, FB messages and tweets. I was touched and found myself teary eyed often on the day.
Studmuffin is a word that exists to date in the vocabulary of maybe a handful of ladies. By definition it refers to anything, but more likely to apply to anyone completely droolworthy, delicious and downright scrumptious. It is vital that every girl have a studmuffin. Because studmuffins not only are eye-candy and makes ones pulse race faster, they often are the inspiration to incredible creativity.
Studmuffins can also be responsible for an email exchange between you and your girlfriends, in which 35 emails are exchanged in the most hilarious manner in a span of a few hours. Don't believe me? Send an email of your studmuffin dressed tastelessly and disclose that the stylist needs to be shot! You'll cherish those emails and love your girlfriends at their ability to join you in pure teenage silliness. I do!
That email exchange was in actual effect responsible for this macaron creation. The flavors for the macarons was something I brought back with me from my recent trip to Dubai, where I had the opportunity to test various macarons at a divine place in Dubai Mall. The original macarons that I tested there were raspberry and tahini. There was nothing else I came away with. No recipe, no other ingredients. So I began experimenting with my own ideas.
These macarons brought out the wild side in me as I experimented, scrapped ideas then went back and experimented some more. But then on that day as my lovely sweary, saucy, sporty and snarky girlfriends were talking studmuffins via email something clicked. We did not even mention macarons in that email nor did we talk about food or ingredients, I was just fueled by my urge to take something homemade for my girlfriends to London as a special treat. A few days before I was to leave I decided to stop the experimenting and throw it together.
Wait - throw ingredients together for a macaron? Can one do that? Well like I said this recipe brought my wild side out. I had egg whites leftover from making the pistachio rosewater croqembouche, aging in the refrigerator and had a pretty good conception of the filling. What I was missing was the true raspberry flavor for the shells. It was Soeren actually who gave me the idea of using raspberry tea, indirectly. He wanted me to buy some flavored tea to make homemade iced tea and as we were looking at the aisle of teas provided at my supermarket, I was overwhelmed by the variety. I picked out the teas for our iced tea and as I was about to walk off, I stopped. And thought. Then looked at the aisle again, shrugged my shoulders and grabbed the packet of raspberry tea. It was worth a try.
The rest was pretty much winging it as I went along. I had abandoned the ideas and notes I had jotted in my notebook and went to work on the concept I had in my head.
I ground the tea leaves and dried raspberries along with the almonds for the shells and part of the color comes from the dried raspberries. The filling is an irresistible mix of rich dark chocolate couverture from Lindt, a light sprinkling of fleur de sel and a few tablespoons of tahini paste.
The reason I used couverture was basically because one can use a higher proportion of chocolate to cream. As couverture is more viscous than ordinary plain chocolate one can increase the amount of couverture to that of double cream. Resulting in a more rich and intense chocolate flavor.
Note: If you are making macarons for the first time please read my comprehensive collection of macaron tips. All the way from the prep work to removing macarons from the baking paper, you'll find valuable tips and tricks for perfect macaron making.

- Prepare your baking tray and baking sheets with a stencil of circles. Draw circles on some baking paper using a (mathematical) compass about 2 cm in diameter. Then place some white parchment paper on the baking tray and flip the baking paper back around. Or use this macaron template.
- In a large mixing bowl mix the egg whites with an electric hand beater (alternatively you can use a stand mixer with the whisk attachment) until it is thick and frothy. Gradually add the granulated sugar, whisking all the while, until the mixture turns into a thick glossy meringue. The consistency of the macaron batter should be similar to hair mousse or shaving foam. Make sure the meringue is not over-beaten or else it will be too dry.
- In a food processor pulse together icing sugar, almonds and raspberry tea until everything is finely ground and powdery. Sift the mixture 2 or 3 times to make sure there are no lumps.
- Place the dry ingredients into a bowl. Add the meringue in three portions, giving it a quick fold using the macronnage technique described in my macaron tips section. Add a few drops of red food coloring to get the desired color tone. Fold the mixture a few times to break the air. Continue until you get a smooth and supple mixture, thick in consistency so that when you lift the spatula it flows back in thick ribbons. Test a small amount on a plate – should the tops fall back and flatten by themselves then it is ready, if not give it a few more folds.
- Fill a piping bag with a plain tip with the batter and pipe small rounds (2 cm in diameter) on your prepared baking paper. Leave the macarons to rest and dry for about 15 to 30 minutes.
- In the meantime preheat the the oven to 150 degrees C. When the macarons are ready bake the shells for 12-15 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Use a flat offset spatula to gently remove the shells from the baking paper and allow to cool further on a rack.
For the filling
- Put the cream into a saucepan and bring nearly to the boil, so it is scalding hot.
- With the finely chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl, pour the hot cream over and leave to allow the chocolate to melt into the hot cream. Add a pinch of fleur de sel and gently stir to mix.
- Leave it to cool long enough for it to be a nice spreadable consistency.
- Once the chocolate ganache has cooled stir in the tahini paste. Place in refrigerator for it to set and thicken further.
Assembling the macarons
Pipe small portions of the chocolate-tahini filling on one of the shells and gently cover with another shell. Do not press. Continue to do this until you have used up all of the filling and shells.Storing Macarons
If you are not going to be using them right away you can store the shells in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days.They freeze well too but it is recommended to freeze them unfilled. To fill them take the shells out of the freezer 48 hours prior to serving and without defrosting fill them. This way the flavors will be allowed to blend as they thaw.
Macarons taste best the next day. Prepare and fill them, then keep them in an airtight container in the fridge. This allows the flavors to intermingle with each other. Enjoy them at room temperature the next day.
Transporting Macarons
These were transported in my hand luggage to London. I simply lined a plastic air-tight container with bubble wrap and placed the macarons on the wrap. Then covered with a second piece of bubble wrap and sealed it with the lid.
I was nervous about this verdict. For the first time I had fellow food bloggers tasting one of my recipes. And they know their sole from their plaice (which sometimes is the same thing). Of course I was very excited too to present to them one of my macarons creations. As I unpacked the box I could feel the suspense building up and could hardly wait till they bit into the macaron they held in their hands. They were good to me. The flavor explosion of chocolate and tahini really hit them. I got them to guess what the flavors were and loved their expressions on their faces as the quizzed.
In my own opinion I think the tahini flavor could have been a bit more dominant and the raspberry flavor slightly more prominent. So, the next time I'll add some more tahini and maybe try drying fresh raspberries for a more intensive flavor. My macarons also stood up in our macaron tasting evening on Sunday night. More about that in my next post.
This macaron creation is heading on over to Mactweets. This month we were to let our wild side loose and get inspired by a wild animal, beast or bird. Well ladies this is one is inspired by my studmuffin. Beast or bird? I think a bit of both wouldn't you say? ;o)
A few of these are also specially going over to Erin, who is my gracious hostess for this session of the Monthly Mingle. Erin's theme is Special Sweet Treats and for me it does not get more special than macarons traveling to London for my special Spice Girls!More Macarons from WFLH:

Summer squash, zucchini, fennel, onion, bell pepper, eggplant, and garlic were all chopped and roasted. Then, they were simply tossed with cooked farro, lots of fresh herbs like basil, flat leaf parsley, and fennel fronds, and lemon juice and olive oil. I like the way Jamie writes a recipe. The quantity for the herbs is "a good bunch," and when the roasted vegetables are removed from the oven, you're instructed to "sprinkle a little vinegar over" them. That works for me considering that I rarely measure out ingredients for a dish like this anyway.
The colorful vegetables give the salad a summery look, and the fresh herbs and lemon wake up all the combined flavors. I was already a fan of farro and its nutty taste and the hearty feel of it. So, I was delighted with the result here. This makes a very big bowl of salad, and I cut the quantities (that were provided) in half. It's the kind of salad that can sit at room temperature while the rest of a meal is prepared, and it's the kind of salad you can pull out of the refrigerator and enjoy as a meal by itself, cold the next day. I found a couple of other dishes in the book to try this week too, so those will appear here soon.

In perhaps the largest nationwide fast-food strike in history, the employees who make your 99-cent burgers and tacos were planning strikes in 50 U.S. cities Thursday. Workers are calling for a $15 minimum wage and hoping to raise attention to the fast-food industry's low pay and limited prospects. The current federal minimum wage standard is $7.25 per hour.
Business-friendly groups argue that the push for higher wages will only speed up the workers' "replacement by automation," especially if the demand for a higher minimum wage is met.
"The burgers of tomorrow could be made by robots — not employees," argues The Employment Policies Institute, a business-financed think tank that is running a full-page ad against the strike in The Wall Street Journal.
"The fight for $15 is a fight against technology, not management — and that's a fight that these union-organized protestors can't win. Instead of securing a bigger paycheck, the less-experienced employees demanding a more than 100 percent pay increase will find their jobs replaced by less-costly alternatives," Michael Saltsman, research director at EPI, said in a statement.
The chances of Congress raising the federal minimum wage are beyond slim, especially during a time when the only bills lawmakers can seem to pass involve renaming post offices. But the automation question got us thinking. Haven't we seen automated fast-food restaurants somewhere before?
Yes! They're called automats — restaurants where the food is served by vending machines.
Today, Amsterdam's Febo chain of stores feature only vending-machine service for burgers, fries and more. A few employees are responsible for stocking the items behind the machines but way out of customer view, so you can walk up, drop in your coins and get a hot meal after a long night out without talking to anyone face-to-face.
Japan also has a version of automats, known there as shokkenki. There, you choose the meal you want and purchase a ticket for it, then you hand in your ticket to the cook behind the counter. I guess this eliminates the role for the person who takes your order at the register.
And the serverless restaurant was actually in vogue in the United States at the turn of the 20th century. Smithsonian Magazine looked back:
"Horn & Hardart and its cavernous, waiterless establishments represented a combination of fast-food, vending and cafeteria-style eateries. These restaurants, with their chrome-and-glass coin-operated machines, brought high-tech, inexpensive eating to a low-tech era. Making their debut in Philadelphia in 1902, just up the street from Independence Hall, and reaching Manhattan in 1912, Horn & Hardart Automats became an American icon, celebrated in song and humor. With their uniform recipes and centralized commissary system of supplying their restaurants, the Automats were America's first major fast-food chain."
But by the 1970s, the magazine explains, automats fell victim to consumers' changing tastes and lifestyles. Americans had moved into the suburbs, which killed the late night business at downtown automats. And places like McDonald's had lower food costs.
Now that automation is en vogue again, maybe automats, like so many other trends, will get a chance at a comeback.

Today's Names to Know: Josh Beckett, Dustin Pedroia, Paul Byrd, Tom Brady, Rob Bironas, Brian Griese, David Garrard, Boston College, Strat-O-Matic, More!
ALCS Game 7: Red Sox clobber the Indians, come back from 3-1 deficit with 3-game winning streak to take AL pennant and return to the World Series for the first time since way back in 2004. (Two World Series appearances in four years? These ain't your pappy's Red Sox.)
Congratulations to the team and to Red Sox Nation: It was gutsy as hell to be down 3-1, then win three straight games. After already claiming status as the first MLB team to come back from being down 3-0 in a series, they became only the 11th team ever to come back from being down 3-1. Big performances all around (Game 7 stud: Dustin Pedroia, who had 5 RBI), and I think
World Series Glimpse Ahead: Sox vs. Rox, which is catchy, if nothing else. I'll do more on the series tomorrow and Wednesday, but the ultimate question, of course, is whether the
Based on the way they've won 21 out of their last 22, including 7 in a row in the playoffs (8 in a row if you count the Game 163 play-in), I have a hard time imagining the Rockies losing 4 of 7 games at this point. Then again, the way the Red Sox have won 3 of their last, um, 3, I can't imagine them losing either.
On paper,
Kiss-of-Death Prediction: Rockies in 6, with
(On a side note: Man, it must be tough to be an Indians fan. Now there's a fan base that deserves our sympathy and our support.)
MLB PED Scandal: Add Paul Byrd to the list. His masterful performance in Game 4 of the ALCS is now the SECOND-biggest thing he is famous for, after 'fessing up to ordering HGH back during the apex of the scandal, from 2002-2005 (when, seemingly, EVERYONE was doing it).
The news cast a pall over the Indians' ALCS run, but it goes to show that HGH penetrated the core of the sport, from the selfish superstar sluggers to the devoutly religious super-likeable journeymen pitchers to the blindly ambitious minor-league rehab success stories. And, I'm sure, much more.
His money quote: "I have nothing to hide," which may be true, admirable or both. But, usually, quotes like that just end up as irony. He says he used it to treat a tumor and that a doc prescribed them. But he says he was in contact with the Indians and MLB about it, but the team and league wouldn't (or couldn't) confirm that.
NFL Wrap: The Pats just keep rolling. Just when you think they can't do anything more (like, say, going on the road and crushing the NFC's top Super Bowl contender), they take on their nemesis and absolutely obliterate them. I know the Dolphins aren't the Dolphins this season, but they weren't particularly good in previous seasons when they beat the Pats, either.
Tom Brady: 6 TDs. One week after throwing a career-high 5, he goes one better, giving him 27 for the season (in only 7 games... the single-season record is 49 by Peyton Manning). The greatest season for a QB in NFL history continues, and it will be all the more spectacular when the team goes 19-0.
My favorite part of yesterday's game was the way that Belichick brought Brady back into the game, off the bench, to throw No. 6. Between that and the last-minute TD the Pats scored against the Cowboys, which was meaningless beyond rubbing in the ass-kicking, it's clear that Belichick wants to punish the rest of the league this season.
More NFL Milestones/Fantasy Player of the Week: Rob Bironas has the greatest day ever for a kicker. He hit an NFL-record 8 field goals, including the game-winner as time expired. So: Who had Bironas on their fantasy team (and if they didn't, will he be the "most added" player of the week?)
More NFL: If there was ever reason to confirm Brian Griese as the Bears' QB, his game-winning two-minute drill without a radio signal in his helmet was the one... How many more last-second wins does Jason Elam have in his foot this season?... Cowboys back on track with a home win over Minnesota, whose sensational rookie RB Adrian Peterson was held to 63 yards, 160 fewer than a week ago (I think the Vikings should give up on this season and target a top QB in the draft to complement Peterson, say Kentucky's Andre Woodson?)... Byron Leftwich looked good in his Falcons debut (that is, until he got hurt... surprise)... Are the Dolphins going to fire first-year head coach Cam Cameron after their first 0-7 start in team history? Should they?
MNF: Colts at Jags. As a Jaguars fan (nominally), last season's blowout win over the Colts represented the best moment of the season for the Jaguars (and made the end-of-season collapse that much more painful). Not sure if the teams match up the same way this year, but this is a real test if the Jags truly are a Top 5 NFL team this year. (Not that it matters, in terms of winning a Super Bowl; the Pats have that locked up.)
CFB: Ohio State, B.C. top the BCS, with LSU at No. 3. Interestingly, the BCS computers have BC and LSU at 1-2 with Ohio State on the outside looking in. Do the PCs know something the humans don't? (Yeah: You can't let the brand name "Ohio State" blind you to things like "Who have they beaten?") By the way, BC is losing at Virginia Tech on Thursday night, just as surely as you could see South Florida's loss at Rutgers last Thursday night coming, too.
This Week's BlogPoll Ballot (Temporary): As I mention in today's Deadspin post, putting it together was an exercise in self-loathing as I filled it out. (I'm already making changes based on reader feedback. Reader Nick questioned how I could have South Florida where I did, particularly behind USC. This is right on, especially because USF was my No. 1 team a week ago. That's a hell of a drop. I have moved them up to No. 11. That's probably still low, especially since they are a spot behind 2-loss Florida, with the Bulls beating Auburn at Auburn and the Gators losing to Auburn in Gainesville.)
NBA Scandal: Have six refs been disciplined for breaking the league's anti-gambling rules? I wouldn't doubt it, but the league and the refs' union aren't confirming anything.
Fantasy: I have a longer, stand-alone post about this for either later today or tomorrow, but I'm participating in a re-creation of the 1986 baseball season through Strat-O-Matic online, managing the Chicago Cubs. Here's a link to the league.

One of the great things about this blog is getting ideas for products. Thank you! Several of the products we've decided to start stocking or making are a direct result of comment on this blog and e-mails from customers. For example:
- We should have 17-degree VO stems in 2-3 months. I would not have guessed that so many folks wanted them. Quill stems are another matter and will take some serious research.
- Minnihaha bags will be in stock at VO next week. These are fairly inexpensive cotton panniers and saddle bags with leather trim.
- Tom has finished testing the economical dynamo hubs I wrote about some weeks ago and we have decided to put in an order for them. While they are not as nice as the more expensive SON and Shimano hubs, the VO community has convinced us that there is a need for a basic dynamo hub. We will have a quick release version in stock sometime this winter.
- It seems that the VO French thread bottom brackets will actually be made.

7 Ways to Keep Hardwood Floors Looking Lovely
Hardwood floors are the height of home fashion these days, and with good reason. They have a rich natural beauty that is timeless yet goes perfectly with 21st century style. What's more, wood flooring is hypo-allergenic, healthy, and free of VOCs, and will last for many years with the right kind of care. Refer to this list of simple tips to keep your hardwood floors looking great.
Clean. Remove abrasive dust and dirt regularly to avoid harm to your gorgeous floor. This may need to be done daily if you live in an exceptionally dusty area. Use a gentle implement such as a dust mop, a soft-bristled or rubber broom, or your vacuum cleaner with a special hardwood floor attachment. Quickly wipe up any spills to prevent water damage and staining to the wood or finish.
Wash. Use a minimal amount of water, which should be warm rather than hot; avoid soaking the wood. Wash hardwood using plain water or a very mild dish soap solution. Follow up by drying immediately with rags or microfiber cloths. Vinegar, ammonia, wood soap, and steam cleaning may damage the wood. If you feel you must use them, proceed with caution after first checking whether they are prohibited by your warranty.
Protect. Avoid marring the surface with scuffs and scratches – replace your high heels with cozy slippers when you are at home. Buffer the legs of heavy or frequently moved furniture pieces with felt pads. Place doormats next to your front and back doors and hardwood-friendly rugs (no rubber backing!) in areas where there is a lot of traffic.
Control climate. It's important to control humidity levels and protect against extremes of temperature all year round. Avoid causing your hardwood flooring to split at the seams from over-exposure to hot dry summer air, as well as swelling due to moistness in winter. In rainy Washington State, try using a dehumidifier to safeguard your Seattle flooring.
Even out the wood. Hardwood is susceptible to "cupping" – that is, developing an uneven surface due to absorption of moisture from humid air or other sources. When this happens, sanding or even planing may be necessary to even out the wood, especially for a vintage floor that has long been neglected. A clear advantage of hardwood flooring over laminate or PVC is that cupping, signs of wear and tear, small stains, nicks, and dents all can be repaired by sanding. Sanders may be rented from good-sized hardware stores; the easy-to-use multi-head orbital type is recommended for homeowner's DIY projects.
Patch. If the wood of your floor has been badly damaged in one spot, you may want to remove a board or two in the affected area and replace them. The floor will be left looking good as new with relatively little hassle and expense – once again, not something you could expect from non-hardwood flooring.
(Re)finish. After sanding, you will need to remove any trace of dust. Then it's up to you to decide whether to stain or finish your floors. The former simply adds color and gives an attractive appearance, while the latter also serves to protect. There are two main types of wood floor finish for residential purposes: wax penetrates the wood and creates a seal, while polyurethane forms a protective coating without soaking into the wood.

David Bagley, HSBC's head of group compliance, resigned in the middle of a Senate hearing today that was looking into charges that the bank had been lax in meeting government requirements, allowing Mexican cartels to launder money and giving terrorists access to the American banking system.
"Bagley was among at least six HSBC executives who testified before the Senate's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations today after the panel released a 335-page report describing a decade of compliance failures by Europe's biggest bank. London- based HSBC enabled drug lords to launder money in Mexico, did business with firms linked to terrorism and concealed transactions that bypassed U.S. sanctions against Iran, Senate investigators said in the report.
"'As I have thought about the structural transformation of the bank's compliance function, I recommended to the group that now is the appropriate time for me and for the bank for someone new to serve as the head of group compliance,' Bagley said. 'I have agreed to work with the bank's senior management towards an orderly transition of this important role.'"
The Wall Street Journal reports that the investigation focused a lot of attention on the Mexican side. It noted that HSBC's Mexican arm sent up to $4 billion in bank notes "by car or aircraft to the HSBC bank in the U.S."
"U.S. authorities have flagged such volume of bulk cash shipments for scrutiny, in part because drug cartels are believed to use such flows of money to hide illicit proceeds," the Journal reports.
According to The Telegraph, Stuart Gulliver, chief executive of HSBC, issued an apology.
"We have sometimes failed to meet the standards regulators and customer expect... we take responsibility for fixing what went wrong," he said.
The Telegraph adds that HSBC will likely face a hefty fine of up to $1 billion.
