Thomas McMartin sure does love the ladies—especially when they are in various states of undress. He's such a fan that he allegedly installed a motion-activated spy camera in a women's locker room. And guess whose picture was on said camera when authorities discovered the device.
McMartin, age 56, used to work as a heating and cooling supervisor at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in upstate New York, which is where the incident occurred. Police believe the camera was installed in the locker room's ceiling on March 8th but was eventually noticed. When the university reviewed the camera's contents, they found images of McMartin as he installed it (Pro Tip: Only turn your perv cam on after you've installed it).
He has since been fired from the school, barred from entering its campus and is under arrest, charged with felony unlawful surveillance and burglary—he's pleading not guilty. [The AP]

Evelyn Bryan Johnson, a record-setting pilot who was born just six years after the Wright brothers made their historic flight, has died at the age of 102. Johnson, who began flying in 1944, holds the Guinness world record for the most hours logged by a female pilot — more than 57,000.
In addition to her accomplished flying record, Johnson also helped many other pilots earn their wings. After one student called her Mama Bird, the nickname stuck with Johnson, as she gave lessons and FAA flight exams to thousands of pilots.
Johnson made an impact on aviation that will last beyond her years — by her own estimation, she trained some 5,000 pilots, including many who are today flying commercial jetliners and cargo planes.
"Two of them turned out to be vice presidents of US Air," she told NPR's Scott Simon back in 2003. "One of them was a 30-year pilot for FedEx; one of the girls flies for American out of New York; some of the other girls fly for United, Delta. There's lots of girls, as well as boys."
Johnson lived in Morristown, Tenn., where she was the longtime manager of the Moore-Murrell Airport — a position she held beyond her 100th birthday, and seemingly up to the time of her death Thursday.
Update at 7 p.m. ET: We've added audio to the top of this post — a remembrance from Charlie Mayer, NPR's director of operations. Charlie was Scott's producer when they visited Johnson in Tennessee; he also later flew with her. His story aired on All Things Considered Friday.
As the AP reports, "Johnson was inducted into the National Aviation Hall of Fame in Dayton, Ohio, in 2007. At that time, she had been flying for 55 years and had spent the equivalent of seven years in flight."
Those flights included several exploits, as Johnson told TAP TV last year. There was the time she flew in a race from Washington, D.C., to Havana, Cuba; the two times her engine failed, forcing her to land in fields; the flight that ended smoothly despite an engine on fire. Johnson also became one of the first women to earn a helicopter pilot's license, joining a group known as the Whirly Girls.
In 1958, Jonson's quick action after witnessing a helicopter crash earned her recognition from the Carnegie Hero Fund. The injured pilot was still in the wreckage when Johnson crawled beneath the whirling blades to turn off the machine's motor. She then sprayed the wreck with a fire extinguisher to prevent an explosion.
At the time of her death, Johnson had flown more than any other living pilot. She spoke with Scott Simon on the occasion of her 94th birthday, when she told him how flying airplanes always helped clear her head of life's worries.
"It's a different world from anything else. When you get up there and you fly around, everything is so beautiful. It's just wonderful like that," she told Scott. "And then, while you're up there, you forget about your problems while you're up. You've still got 'em, but that doesn't matter, you've had a little rest from it. It's just a wonderful thing."
That interview took place six years before Johnson's hundredth birthday — an occasion she said she was looking forward to. Johnson told Scott how she'd like to spend the day.
"Here's what I'd like: Willard Scott will be telling about me being 100 years old," she said. "But I wouldn't hear him — because I'd be up flying."
An accomplished American aviator has died. Evelyn Bryan Johnson logged more flight hours than any woman in history. She died yesterday at age 102. NPR's Charlie Mayer, also a pilot, has this appreciation.
CHARLIE MAYER, BYLINE: I first met Evelyn Johnson on her 94th birthday in 2003. I visited her at the airport in Morristown, Tennessee with NPR's Scott Simon.
SCOTT SIMON, BYLINE: In Morristown, Tennessee, the local flight instructor is 94 years old.
EVELYN JOHNSON: (Unintelligible) taking off runway 23.
SIMON: Evelyn Bryan Johnson loves to fly and believes it's good for what ails you.
JOHNSON: You forget about your problems while you're up. You've still got them, but that doesn't matter. You've had a little rest from them.
MAYER: Decades ago, one of Evelyn Johnson's students gave her the nickname, Mama Bird, and it stuck. By her own count, Mama Bird taught more than 5,000 people how to fly. As a designated pilot examiner for the FAA, she gave more than 9,000 flight tests.
Over the decades, she even trained her share of airline pilots.
JOHNSON: Oh, mercy, yes. Lots of them. Two of them turned out to be vice presidents of U.S. Air. One of them was a 30 year pilot for FedEx. One of the girls flies for American out of New York. Some of the other girls fly for United and Delta and Continental. There's lots of girls, as well as boys. There's lots and lots and lots of them.
MAYER: In her later years, Ms. Johnson used a wheelchair or a walker to make the journey from the airport terminal to her plane. She perfected the delicate maneuver of lifting herself from the tarmac up to the wing strut and into the copilot seat of a Cessna 150, tail number November 704 Yankee Echo. Once in that seat, Ms. Johnson was as nimble and muscular with the flight controls as any fighter pilot.
I flew with her on Christmas Eve 2004 and she wasn't shy about reminding me that she could still command that plane through every phase of flight. We departed off of runway 23, climbing to 4,000 feet under a canopy of smooth, gray clouds. Brown farmland faded beneath us. The snowcapped Smokey Mountains rose up on our left to meet the clouds.
Knoxville approach vectored us to Downtown Island Airport. Ms. Johnson took her first flight lesson there on October 1, 1944. During a quiet moment on that frequency, an FAA supervisor called us up on the radio. Cessna four Yankee Echo, Knoxville approach. Is Ms. Johnson onboard? I replied that she was and the air traffic controller asked her how many flight hours she had. She clicked on the radio without missing a beat and answered, 57,597 and a half. The controller was impressed.
Another pilot flying around out there between the mountains and the clouds got on the frequency to add his own tribute. Ms. Johnson signed me off 30 years ago, he said to anyone who was listening. She responded with a chuckle. I can't believe you're still flying. He answered back, Merry Christmas. We love you, dear.
Scott Simon interviewed Ms. Johnson in 2003, the centennial of powered flight. He asked her if she thought she might live to be 100.
JOHNSON: Well, of course, I've thought about it. I'd like to be. I'd like to live to be 100. Here's what I'd like. Willard Scott is telling about me being 100 years old, but I wouldn't hear him because I'd be out flying.
MAYER: Wherever she is today, Evelyn Johnson is probably sitting in the right seat of a two-seat airplane. She is gently encouraging a nervous student pilot while she steals a few peeks out the window at the beautiful world below.
BLOCK: Evelyn Johnson died yesterday in Tennessee. She was 102. Charlie Mayer is director of operations here at NPR News.

Overall Project Goals • Improve deteriorating roadway and sidewalk infrastructure. • Enhance the area for all users – pedestrians, cyclists and motorists. • Improve the safety of pedestrians going to and from Sennott Park (Tremont Street). • Increase the number of street trees. • Improve drainage to reduce ponding on the roadway. Sidewalk Materials--City Policy • The City's policy is to replace existing sidewalks with the same material (concrete with concrete, brick with wire cut brick). During construction, property owners are given the option of changing their sidewalk material, as described below. - Keep existing sidewalk material – no cost to property owner. - Change from brick to concrete – no cost to property owner. - Change from concrete to brick – property owner pays the differential cost. • The City's policy provides flexibility for property owners, but results in a mix of sidewalk materials. Sidewalk Materials--Broadway • The existing sidewalks on Broadway are a combination of concrete (75%) and brick (25%), similar to the mix of sidewalk materials throughout the city. • This project can follow the City policy for sidewalk material, as described above, which will continue the mix of materials on a property by property basis. • Or, we can implement a more unified approach by providing a concrete surface for the walking area and a brick feature strip. In addition to creating a unified look for the street, this approach has the benefit of providing a concrete surface for the walking area, which is strongly preferred by people with disabilities, while maintaining a visually appealing mix of brick and concrete. broadwayprojectevaluationNorfolk_Street_Raised_Crosswalk_Aug_2013broadwaysidewalkreconstructionnoticenorfolktocolumbiabroadwayconstructionresumesnoticebroadwayreconstructionupdate11_16_121broadwayconstructiontostartbroadwaysidewalkmaterialspostcardbroadwayprospectsttoportlandstconceptualplanbroadwaycommunitymeetingnoticeCambridge Department of Public WorksOffice hours are Mondays, 8:30 AM to 8 PM Tuesday through Thursday, 8:30 AM to 5 PM Fridays, 8:30 AM to 12 noon For additional information or assistance, please contact Dan Vallee, Project Manager, at 617.349.4813 or email@example.com. or contact Kelly Dunn, Community Relations Manager, at 617.349.4870 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

A 22-year-old man pleaded no contest to creating 130 fake Facebook profiles and posting Craigslist ads to harass his 16-year-old ex-girlfriend.
Jesus Felix, 22, of Los Angeles, pleaded no contest Wednesday to two counts of California's new impersonation law and one count of making harassing phone calls. He was sentenced to five years' probation and 30 days of community service for using photos of his ex-girlfriend in the fake pages and Craigslist ads between January and March, according to the Los Angeles City Attorney's office.
A one-year sentence was suspended as long as Felix stays in anger management, counseling and sex therapy classes. He also could not contact the victim nor use the Internet during his probation.
U.S. & World
The victim's mother discovered several online profiles containing her daughter's contact information and sexually explicit photographs. Felix reportedly called and harassed the victim's mother several times via cell phone.
While The Next Web was preoccupied by the idea that social media can be used for evil as much as good -- we were more concerned about a 16-year-old dating a 22-year-old.

E Is For Eggs – The ABCs Of Cancer
What happens to a St. Jude kid with cancer? Find out in this humorous but insightful story told with eggs.
Ethan had medulloblastoma, a highly malignant brain tumor. Although this disease is typically quite devastating, his story had a happy ending thanks to the doctors at St. Jude.
During my January visit to the hospital, I was amazed at how much fun the kids have together, even though they're all quite sick. The camaraderie between patients goes a long way to helping them feel better, not only about their situation, but about the possibilities that the future holds out for them.
Become a Partner In Hope today, and your contribution will go a long way toward making this type of "eggscellent" care possible for other kids like Ethan.

More people will die in fires caused by faulty white goods - such as tumble dryers - unless the Government takes urgent action, fire chiefs have warned.
The London Fire Brigade said that in the wake of the Grenfell Fire and following a series of devastating white goods fires in the capital over the past six years, the Government have yet to introduce any safety recommendations.
The call for action also comes one year on from a blaze caused by a faulty Indesit tumble dryer which spread through homes in a tower block in Shepherd's Bush.
Now London Fire Brigade, the Mayor of London and other campaigners have written to Prime Minister Theresa May demanding action before more people lose their lives.
The brigade says one fire a day in London involves white goods, and June's tragic fire at Grenfell Tower was started in a fridge freezer in a flat on the lower floor.
Between 2010 and 2016 there have been nine fire deaths and 298 injuries as a result of fires involving white goods in London.
Life-saving action
London Fire Commissioner Dany Cotton said: "What the Government needs to do to save lives is clear. London's fire crews go to around one fire a day involving white goods, and it's only a matter of time before there is another tragedy.
"How many more devastating white goods fires do there have to be before the Government makes it easier for consumers to check whether their fridges and freezers are on the recall list?
"Worse still, the second hand white goods market is under regulated and there is little to stop people buying kitchen appliances which pose a serious fire risk.
"We also want business to step up and change how some fridges and freezers are manufactured. All new refrigeration and freezing appliances should have a non-combustible backing as standard.
"Many models still use a flammable plastic backing, which offers very little protection against the foam inside catching alight if a fire starts.
"This is not the time for further reports and recommendations, it's time to take action."
Mayor speaks out
Joining the call for a government response is Mayor of London Sadiq Khan, who said: "The Government's delay in implementing these recommendations is simply inexcusable.
"With on average one white goods fire every single day in London, if an item is on the official 'recall' list, this information must be easily accessible so these fires can be prevented.
"The terrible tragedy at Grenfell Tower in June is a stark reminder of just how devastating a fire caused by faulty white goods can be.
"Now, a year since the tragic fire in Shepherd's Bush which led to these important recommendations, the Government and manufacturers must urgently act to help prevent any further tragedies and keep Londoners safe."
The Brigade has made a series of recommendations calling for action to make white goods safer as part of its Total Recalls campaign.
A coroner at the inquest of Santosh Benjamin Muthiah, who died after saving his wife and two children from a fire which was caused by a faulty Beko fridge freezer a their Harrow home, recommended a series of measures to improve product recalls in 2014.
However, the Fire Brigade say the changes are also still to be made.
London Fire Brigade's recommendations include a single, publicly accessible register of product recalls, with international recalls to be included on the UK recall register, and for recalls to be better publicised to reduce confusion.
They have also called for greater regulation of secondhand appliances, changes to the way fridges and freezers are manufactured and for all appliances to be marked with model and serial number.

Q If I have a base-level SLR camera (in my case a 10.1-megapixel Canon XTi) that's about five to six years old, are there any advantages to updating to a more modern version, other than more megapixels?
I'm talking strictly from a photography point of view, and ignoring video. And note that I'm asking about updating (going to a more recent base camera) as opposed to upgrading (going to a higher level model). I have a Canon 18-55mm kit zoom lens and a Canon 50/1.8 fixed lens for lower-light situations. I rarely make prints and when I do, I do not make prints bigger than 5-by-7 inches. Do you think I should upgrade my camera body?
–R.C., Milwaukee
A A more recent entry-level digital SLR will likely have more megapixels, better low-light performance, faster focusing and overall operation, and a bigger, more beautiful, higher resolution LCD display on the back. It will also add or improve video functionality, and possibly get you some art filters or Wi-Fi capability. You are also likely to get better looking images due to improvement in sensor and image processing technology. How much better depends on your technique, the environment you take pictures in, and your willingness to adjust pictures in software later.
Last week I recommended that a reader stand pat and enjoy the audio system he had, rather than upgrade. I think this is the proper advice for you as well, to stand pat and keep enjoying your current camera. You asked about the advantages of a more modern entry-level camera, rather than telling me about the perceived shortcomings of what you have now, and you are not interested in video. This tells me it is working well for you, and if you are only printing at 5-by-7 inches then 10.1 megapixels is plenty.
Though I think your best course of action is to continue using your existing camera, I do recommend you consider upgrading your 18-55mm lens. The 18-55mm lens that came with the Canon Digital Rebel XTi did not have image stabilization. The Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II lens can be purchased brand new for $99 to $149. The IS stands for "Image Stabilization" and having this feature will help whenever you handhold the camera, especially in low light.
An even better choice for a lens upgrade would be the Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4 DC Macro OS lens. This lens has more telephoto reach at 70mm vs. 55mm, which will produce better-looking portraits, it has excellent macro capability, it's very sharp, it is much faster than the Canon kit lens (f/2.8-4 vs. f/3.5-5.6) and it also has image stabilization. The image stabilization is called OS for "Optical Stabilization" in Sigma nomenclature. The lens retails for $449, which only seems expensive until you realize you may have a good lens for 20 years or longer. In the age of digital, camera bodies will come and go, but the lenses will stay with you. You can see it at www.sigmaphoto.com.
If you had $449 budgeted for the new camera body I would strongly recommend buying the Sigma 17-70mm and adding it to your XTi. The improvement will be immediately obvious and your camera will be more capable overall.

Automated Blank Destacking--How Much Do You Need?
"Many variables drive decisions
Manual, Semiautomatic Ideal for Short-Run Work
In the quest to automate blank destacking, manual to semiautomatic setups can be very effective in a variety of situations.
"These setups best suit production environments where stampers must adapt to a variety of short-run or low-volume blanks throughout a shift," Bleau says. "Another option, automating for an infinite array of parameters, is much more expensive to implement and maintain. The goal should be to identify and automate only highly repetitive or safety-related tasks, and part-setup tasks that require a high degree of repeatability.
"Stampers handling high volumes of only a few types of similar blanks," he continues, "may find that changeover-time investment is minimal compared to the costs of automating these same changeover tasks between part runs. Here the goal is to minimize setup times without putting employees, product quality, equipment uptime and net throughput at risk."
A good example of a cost-effective semiautomatic destacking setup involves using robots that automatically exchange their end-of-arm tooling between part runs, according to Bleau. The only difference between a fully manual exchange and a semiautomated exchange is the addition of a staging area or robot-accessible tool-storage area, the use of an automatic coupling 'wrist,' and some code instructing the robots to make the tooling change during a part changeover.
Semiautomation the Answer for Auto OEM
Robots were employed in 2008 as ThyssenKrupp System Engineering, Inc. (TKSE), Auburn Hills, MI, delivered a semiautomatic blank-destacking system to an automotive OEM stamping plant in Ramos, Mexico, that produces interior and exterior panels. The new system replaced a manually loaded centering table. While the OEM handled the controls design and hardware, TKSE was responsible for the software and mechanical design and build.
The destacker can handle small blanks to blanks as large as 160 by 72 in. —single or double-unattached, right-to-left and front-to-back—with throughput to 9 parts/min.
The conventional, automated portion of the destacking system includes the use of two six-axis Fanuc robots to destack and load the press line. One robot, dedicated to destacking from one of two pallet stations, moves along a seventh-axis shuttle, allowing the system to run in continuous mode. Once one stack depletes, the robot indexes along the shuttle over the queued stack and continues feeding the line. The second robot receives the blank or blanks from a centering station, then directly loads the press.
Benchmark, Consider Lean
So how should metalformers go about deciding on the ideal level of automation in the destacking process?
"Next, rely upon lean-manufacturing principles to evaluate your production environment and outline its potential given a new destacker," he continues. "Consider part mix, line load, press capacities, operating costs, quality standards and workplace-safety issues that will become a part of this future state."
Attention to lean-manufacturing principles paid off in selection of the destacking system in Ramos. It's a hybrid of simplified manually adjusted automation and robotics, and provides for handling of complex part geometries in a simple, lean approach that has saved the OEM hundreds of thousands of dollars in equipment and controls, according to TKSE officials.
In fact, this semiautomatic system came in at 40 percent of the cost of a fully automated system.
The two pallet stations (that enable blank loading via fork truck) and centering station reveal the uniqueness of the destacking system. After pallet positioning, an operator unbands the stack and manually adjusts the fanning magnets. The fanning-magnet assemblies are unique in that the support armatures allow near-infinite adjustment with simple hand cranks and multiple elbows. Each station has an array of six fanner magnets, each with tall magnet heads to accommodate high blank stacks. To save project costs, the magnet heads were redesigned.
The centering station also boasts a unique cost-saving configuration. TKSE designed a gravity-feed system that allows blanks to slip along the top of an array of skate balls that cover an adjustable deck. The deck is positioned on a compound angle to ensure that two sides of any given blank contact control points on the table. For further flexibility, a series of pentagonal holes staged in a grid formation on the table permit operators to place control points in various configurations to securely position blanks in unlimited arrangements. To ease setup, the system boasts color-coded stations and tool-free control-point pegs.
Between the pallet stations and within the safety gates, a dual-station tooling nest serves the destacking robot, with another tooling station positioned adjacent to the press-loading robot. Both stations can store vacuum-cup tooling while the robots operate with other tools. When a part recipe indicates the need for a tooling change, the robots automatically deposit one tool and retrieve the staged tool from the station.
With blanks queued in both pallet stations, the first robot grabs a single or double set of blanks with suction cups and places it in the centering station. The gravity-fed table allows the blanks to quickly glide into orientation for the second robot, which picks up the centered blank and feeds it to the press.
The system can be configured to handle just about any shape of blank including irregular and tailored laser-welded blanks, according to TKSE officials.
Fully Document, Fully Explore
With documentation in hand from evaluating your production environment, you are ready to meet with potential suppliers. Bleau recommends searching out several qualified, experienced machine builders specializing in destack-system manufacturing and integration, and assuring them that your goals are to define operational parameters in anticipation of a purchase and not to share competitive data between suppliers. Then individually meet with suppliers to define the parameters in a guidance document or specification for the destacker, and secure some budgetary pricing from suppliers.
"Weigh your goals," says Bleau, "against a value proposition that, in terms of time and money, defines the various automated elements and how they add value to the production environment as well as the anticipated ROI." MF

Ride In 12/7
- Buttons sales are going swimmingly. I've nearly hit the break-even point, meaning that soon each dollar spent on buttons (or ride blogging? any takers?) will go entirely to WABA. And this only after a day of sales. Amazing. For those of you who have purchased a button (or buttons), my sincerest thanks. For those of you who have purhcased buttons and then used social media to promote that fact, I offer my sincerest-er (the rare superlative-r distinction). And for those of you who have yet to purchase buttons, fear not. In addition to selling the buttons through www.manfredmacx.com, in the coming weeks, I will be holding an "event" in a "bar" where you can pay "cash money" and leave with your own button that very day. You might also be able to "partake" of some "libations" at which point you can over-imbibe and "question", perhaps "belligerently," my "overuse" of quotation marks. Details will be forthcoming as soon as I make them up. This "event" will also be a chance for you to hobnob with other blog readers/bike commuters and I look forward to meeting you all.
- One other thing from yesteday's comments. For the twitterati among you, please be aware of the new @helpbikeDC, your one-stop-shop for #bikeDC kvetching. Include @helpbikeDC on any bike-related issue (detritus in bike lane? penguins in the cycle track? whatever) and she'll do her best to notify the powers that be. I think that this can be a useful tool in highlighting issues that bicyclists face. It's good to document these kinds of things and you know, the squeaky wheel and whatnot.
But what about my own bicycle ride? Well, it was wet. It started wet and it ended wet and featured a lot of wet in between. Most of the wet came from the sky, but some of the wet came from the ground after having previously come from the sky or perhaps from one of the hilarious practical jokes where someone puts a bucket of water on top of an ajar door, but probably not that because frequently those buckets of "water" are actually just full of confetti and I didn't notice much confetti on the roadway. I also didn't notice many other bicyclists about. In my eight miles (I'm the Eminem of bike commuters. Or decidedly not) of riding, I counted 17 other people on bikes. That's low, but not surprising. Nothing like rain to dampen the spirits (and clothes) of city cyclists. Were it 10 degrees colder, I doubt that I would've counted more than single digits. Because it'd be too cold and wet and I'd be too miserable to count.
On days like this, I've taken to packing a second set of bike clothes to wear on the way home. I figure that I've got space in my bag, so why not? It's not like the extra weight of another shirt is going to be the difference between me and maillot jaune. Because there is no maillot jaune in bike commuting. It's not a race. But if it were a race, I could tell you that I made it from Lincoln Park to Ward Circle in the same amount of time as the powder blue VW bug with the Georgetown University (hoya saxa) license plate holder. Of course, the driver arrived considerably drier, but I didn't wear down my windshield wiper blades, so I'd call it a tie.
Architectural Testing. One of your vans was blocking the 15th street cycle track. I'm going to have to boycott you and that's a real shame because I had a ton of safety glazing to do and now I'm going to look elsewhere. I would've taken a picture, but it was rainy enough to have to put my phone in my bag rather than carry it in my back pocket.
Good spot for jaywheeling: R street between 20th and Connecticut. (I'm working on a compilation DVD called "Great Moments in Jaywheeling" and maybe I can get the voice-over guy from NFL films to narrate. "On the frozen tundra of the West End, one man...")
I don't think the Iraqi ambassador is home. There's three newspapers out in front of the embassy gate strewn about the sidewalk. Also, that stuff is online (and probably for free), so you might want to think about cancelling your subscription. Just a suggestion.
Once again, I'd just like to remind everyone that lights and fenders are pretty great. That is all. Also, buttons are great too and just as utilitarian. Let's say you needed to, um, poke a really small hole in some fabric or maybe make one of those things that you use to look at a solar eclipse or lance a boil on a very small animal or trade a bauble to some natives for some reason, maybe for their land...? Or just for decoration and to get some money to a genuinely worthy organization. Either way.

As much as I love bike-commuting, I am not sad today that I'm working (if you can call it that) at home with my elder daughter who isn't in school because of parent-teacher conferences. As much as I love bike-commuting, it pales in comparison with lunch at Lou's with half-price Two Hearted drafts.ReplyDelete
When you do the button-selling bar event, I definitely want to be involved.
Yesterday I thought about donating at the "TFTS blogs my ride" level. Good thing I didn't (yet) - especially if we had decided to ride together today because I actually had to do my commute twice on the way to work. (I forgot my change of clothes and didn't notice until I was block from the end of my 4-mile commute... I'm only half the commuter that you are, but I'm going to be twice as wet since I didn't pack a dry set for the ride home).ReplyDelete
I saw Architectural Testing on Phase 2 of my commute this morning (the ride back home). I asked the driver if he was going to move out of the lane. He looked confused. Then I showed him how all the other cars on 15th park outside of the pylons. He still looked confused. Then I noticed that he had a Pennsylvania license plate, so I told him that I used to live in Philly and I know his frame of reference for the "parkability" of bike lanes. He laughed knowingly. We had a moment. It was cute. "So I can park anywhere - just as long as it's outside the bike lane?" "Yup".
On Phase 3 of my commute he had moved the van to the outside of the pylons - smack between two "no parking" signs. You can lead a horse to water...
@Jon- Bike commuting is pretty great, but kicking it at home and two beers with lunch is pretty damn awesome.ReplyDelete
@Kyle- Double the commute, double the fun? Maybe not so much, I guess. I've never forgotten a whole change of clothes, though I forget my socks about once a week, but I can normally soldier through that. I'm glad you said something to Architectural Testing and I'm glad he figured out what to do, even if it was in something less than legal. I'm still not going to patronize their business, but mostly because I have absolutely no need.
Alas, 9/26/84. (For those of us who take things "literally.")ReplyDelete
BUTTON HAPPY HOUR!!ReplyDelete
I love rain deluges. They make me feel like a complete badass for braving the elements.
@BW- No point in going forward with the movie then.ReplyDelete
@ultrarunnergirl- BUTTON HAPPY HOUR indeed. Because people don't have enough awkward social obligations in their life already. Though I suppose this one would be voluntary, so that's good. Rain riding, if you can muster the swagger, can indeed make you feel like a badass. But it can also just make you feel wet.
Brian: Minor correction to your response to Jon about something for which I care deeply -- Two Hearted is the name of a beer. I currently have Bells Two Hearted Ale in my basement kegerator (best wedding present ever and quite an enhancement to the life of a parent). Jon may have had two of them...in fact, he'd be irrational not to have two at that discount level (Jon, where is this Lou's?), but it's not a certainty.ReplyDelete
@J.T Comments like these just prove that I have the best readers/commenters on the whole internet. Jon, we need to know about the exact number of beers for lunch. I see "drafts," we'd like confirmation. Also, more details on Lou's.ReplyDelete
I had three Two Hearted drafts. "Lou's" is Lou's City Bar (http://www.louscitybar.com/), about 50 feet from Columbia Heights Metro. Every Wednesday is half-price drafts all day.ReplyDelete
Lou's looks great. I will remember that next time I find myself not working on a Wednesday.ReplyDelete
I'm behind on the blogroll.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the @helpbikedc shoutout. I hope it'll be somewhat helpful.
Wednesday morning multiple people saw my helmet and expressed surprise at my dryness. Raingear! It's miraculous! Also, I spent the day at the White House, but didn't get to use the secret Bikeshare. Lame.

Insulin resistance is a condition in which body cells do not fully
respond to the action of insulin, a hormone that controls the amount of sugar
(glucose) in the blood. As a result, blood sugar levels become abnormally
Over time, insulin resistance can result in consistently high blood
sugar levels, which increases a person's risk for type 2 diabetes.
Pregnant women who are insulin resistant have an increased risk for gestational diabetes.
Usually, insulin resistance develops in people who are overweight
and not physically active. These characteristics are often associated with
having high cholesterol and high blood pressure. People who are insulin
resistant have an increased risk of heart disease and stroke, especially if
other risk factors, such as being a smoker or having high cholesterol levels,
are present.

Eat ALL The Bugs
Aieee, what is this, AUSTRALIA? I mean, what if you got up in the morning and snagged your bread from the toaster before you'd had your coffee and when you went to take your first bite, there was a giant BEE LEG staring right up at you? Or, even worse, what if you were deleting your spam while you ate and didn't notice all the insect parts on your breakfast and you took a bite and it was CRUNCHY? Like, crunchy in NOT A TOAST-LIKE WAY?
You can gauge my level of horror at this dead bee honey by the fact that it wasn't until I got home and looked at my pictures that I noticed the enormous brown cow-dookie-shaped things in the background. I zoomed in and, just as I feared, they're the…
If you'd like to buy some scary insect-riddled honey yourself, they sell it at the festival next to the otherwise quite gorgeous shibazakura fields at Hitsujiyama (in Chichibu), from the middle of April to the middle of May. A map is on my website, The Tokyo Guide I Wish I'd Had.

Coming Up for Air
In the Accordance calendar, the months of October and November are both exciting and exhausting. This is the time of year when we gear up for the annual meetings of the Evangelical Theological Society and the Society of Biblical Literature. It is at these conferences on Biblical scholarship that we release new materials primarily of interest to scholars and students.
Last year, we released the tagged Dead Sea Scrolls Biblical Manuscripts, the New English Translation of the Septuagint, the tagged pentateuch and critical apparatus from Swete's edition of the Greek Septuagint, Codex Sinaiticus and Codex Washingtonensis (both tagged), the tagged Christian Apologists (Irenaeus, Justin Martyr, etc.), Ben Sira (tagged), the tagged New Testament of the Latin Vulgate, and the Context of Scripture. With the exception of Context of Scripture, I believe most of these resources are still only available for Accordance.
While I had a hand in developing some of that material we released last year, most of that work was done by various scholars who work with us to develop these tagged Biblical and extra-Biblical texts. Thus, while I always have plenty to do in preparation for ETS/SBL, I am always pleasantly surprised at this time of year by the massive amount of new material which these scholars have quietly been producing.
This year will be no exception. While I can't make any official announcements until the conferences, this year we'll be releasing new tagged manuscripts of the Greek New Testament, new extrabiblical and cognate language texts, and more.
Some of the "more" I have to confess that I'm still trying to finish up (which is why I haven't blogged this week!). So I'm afraid I need to crawl back into my hole and keep working. In the meantime, be sure to download version 8.1.1, a new update to the Accordance application which fixes a few bugs (and reduces the height of the tabs slightly). If you haven't tried the new automatic update feature of version 8.1 yet, this latest update will give you a good excuse to do so.
I'm afraid you can expect blogging to be light for the next couple of weeks, but I hope to get back to detailing new features of Accordance 8.1 soon. There are still plenty I haven't talked about.

Hi lovelies! I hope that you all had a great Monday and that your week is off to a fantastic start. I'll admit, it was a little hard going back to reality after such a wonderful weekend away! But now I'm back in the swing of things, I'm looking forward to some fun things happening this week and weekend. My personal rule of thumb is that whenever something you were looking forward to is over, make sure you have something else fun planned!
Besides some great breakfasts we had in our room (more on that later) most of our meals were spent dining out in Vegas. We ate at some great new-to-me restaurants, but visiting Serendipity while in Vegas was a "must" on my list. After seeing the movie Serendipity years ago, I became in love with the prospect of visiting the famous restaurant with the frozen hot chocolates. A few years ago on my first trip to New York my family made sure that I got to experience it, and it was just as amazing as I had hoped.
So it only seemed right that we all venture back to the one in Vegas, this time so my Grandma could experience it. If you haven't had frozen hot chocolate, it is a little difficult to understand the draw. But imagine a cross between a chocolate milkshake and a chocolate slushie with whipped cream piled on top. Or imagine pure bliss. It's kind of like that. We all went for the frozen hot chocolate, but as it was lunchtime, we knew that we needed to have some real food too.
My mom and I weren't very hungry as we wanted to save room for the main event, we split the fresh berries, yogurt and granola. Since I'm mildly obsessed with this combo (I have it every single day at work) I thought I knew what to expect. And then this arrived…
Now that's what I call presentation! The yogurt inside the coconut was delicious and the berries were perfectly fresh and sweet. I have never had white raspberries before either, but am definitely a fan.
Daddy Jeff ordered the Chopped Chicken Salad which he said was delicious and my Grandma had the chicken strips which were pretty incredible and served with 3 dipping sauces.
But all of that was just filler before the much awaited frozen hot chocolates. I can tell you that from the time these were delivered to the table until we got up to leave, the only words I uttered were versions of "This is SO good". It was even better than I remembered and truly unlike anything else I've ever had. We ordered the mochacino and the regular and as much as I love coffee-flavored desserts, the regular is still my favorite. I indulged to my heart's content because I think this was one of those times where calories don't count, and you just enjoy food for what it is. I tend to feel that way on vacation anyway, but especially for things like this where you can only get it at these special locations.
-What's the best dessert you've ever had?
-How do you approach indulging on vacation?

"JDM Legends" brings filmmaker Josh Clason and his Depth of Speed to Erik Bizek's shop to show off some of the very drool worthy vintage rides from the land of the rising sun he builds.
It certainly isn't hard to understand why Bizek has such a hard time letting go of his restored creations every time he completes one. You'd probably have to pry the vintage Skyline featured in this video from our cold dead hands.

Conservative evangelicals' embrace of presidential politics ends in disappointment and questions about mixing religion and politics. New waves of immigrants from Asia, the Middle East and Latin America make the United States the most religiously diverse nation on earth. In the 2008 presidential election, a religious voice reemerges in the Democratic Party.
