I shot this this morning before trying the reversed lens trick what do you think?
A variation?
I like the first one more... it has an older look to it.
Great job! :thumbup:
Definitely the first shot! The 2nd one doesnt do anything for me...
the first one is great!
Is that second one a solarized (maybe sabattier) shot? I think it could have worked out nicely if the effect wasnt so strong. The lettering is really throwing me off.
Whats a reversed lens trick?
Oh I really love that first shot. There's something about b&w shots of timepieces that I really love. Great work.

Alexandre Pato has said goodbye after agreeing a move to Corinthians. "I am going to Brazil to play consistently, but it won't be easy to forget Milan."
This evening both clubs released statements confirming a €15m transfer [12] has been agreed pending a medical and he will sign a four-year contract.
Instead of a signing-on fee, Pato has secured 40 per cent of any future sale.
"I wish to salute, but above all to thank, everyone," wrote Pato in an open letter on the Milan website.
"From the President to the many people I worked with in these unforgettable years at Milan.
"I am going to Brazil, to Corinthians, so I'll have the opportunity to play consistently. It won't, however, be easy to forget Milan.
"I am and always will be very tied to this jersey, the club colours and all the Rossoneri fans. Above all at this moment my thoughts and my biggest thanks go to them."
Pato arrived at San Siro as a 17-year-old, but at the age of 23 his career has been blighted by a series of muscular injuries.

Bleeding Edge has been lying low since researchers at the University of Melbourne raised the topic of oniomania. The local Institution of Marriage has been convinced for years that we're an oniomaniac, and if we're not careful we could find ourselves taking laboratory tests to prove categorically that we "form emotional attachments to objects", "experience uncontrollable urges to buy" and have "an inability to focus on anything other than shopping".
We're therefore not advertising the fact that while wandering around the aisles of a swap meet a couple of weekends ago, we spent $65 on a USB Mobile Hard Disk Box and a 200GB, 7200rpm Western Digital Caviar hard drive with 8MB buffer. We'd describe the attachment we formed to this object as anything but emotional. When your hard drives are rapidly filling with digital video files and the like, the fact there is a solution for about $210 seems pretty compelling logic.
Alas, things did start to get a little emotional when we got it home. We didn't have any difficulty sliding the hard drive into the box and connecting the power and IEDE cables, but we discovered that the power plug wasn't a particularly good fit and we had to wedge it into place. Having a power cable come adrift while a hard drive is in the middle of writing a file is a great way to lose data, which is no doubt why we were suddenly feeling depressed. It was just beginning to dawn that we'd probably wasted our money.
Even more depressing was the fact that the instructions told us to set the hard drive jumpers to configure it as a master drive. While that's true of most drives, unfortunately it's not true of Western Digital drives, which - we discovered only after a considerable amount of messing around - have to be set as single drives in an external casing. We're not entirely sure the dud instructions were responsible for the ensuing problems but they certainly didn't help.
Things started to go sour when we tried to partition the drive and format it. We found the drive in Windows XP's Computer Management (Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Computer Management), but it had only 134GB of space available.
We weren't expecting to see a full 200GB, because hard drive manufacturers define a gigabyte as 1,000,000,000 bytes. Everyone else defines it as 1,073,741,824 bytes, which means the full capacity of a 200GB drive is just over 186GB. We were therefore missing 52GBs of space, which represented the waste of something like $50.
Here Bleeding Edge took one of those - logical - wrong turns that so often costs us hours. We leapt to the conclusion that we were experiencing the Windows XP 137GB hard drive barrier, which prevents early versions of the operating system running larger drives and can cause data corruption.
The original release does not support 48-bit LBA (Logical Block Addressing), necessary to access all the space on larger drives. Learn all about the problem at 48bitlba.com/issues.htm, a site that includes an HDInfo tool to determine whether your system's BIOS and operating systems are set up to support larger drives and is configured for best performance.
In our case, we'd already installed Windows XP SP1, which is supposed to have the required support, and we knew the Gigabyte 8IPE1000 Pro 2 motherboard we were using had the right BIOS. We'd also downloaded a file (reg_48bit_lba.exe) from the Seagate website, which automatically adjusts the Windows XP registry settings to enable this support, rather than fiddling around in the registry manually.
If your system BIOS can't cope with that, the Western Digital website has a new Data Lifeguard Tools (version 11) utility that includes a dynamic drive overlay (DDO) from Ontrack that does the job. The program determines whether your system needs DDO and installs it if necessary. The help file includes information you'll need to boot from a floppy when running a DDO. It has other useful utilities you may also want to use.
We were further confused by the fact that Microsoft warns you to verify that you have version 5.1.2600.1135 of the atapi.sys driver. Both the Windows XP Pro SP-1 installations we were running showed only version 1106.
We wasted a lot of time trying to update that driver with the help of Microsoft tech support, before taking another route.
We'd begun to suspect that the problem with the drive was related to the firmware in the external drive case. Later, we dropped in at Memory Solutions, in Port Melbourne, to pick up one of Griffin Technology's intriguing Radio Sharks, which allows you to "time shift" AM and FM radio broadcasts via a Mac or Windows PC. Priced at about $130, it looks like a great Christmas present for the radio enthusiast or the geek who has everything, and we obviously had to buy one to provide proper guidance for our readers.
While doing that, we noticed a Sarotech HardBox. It comes in several versions that handle USB 2.0 and/or FireWire 400 and FireWire 800 interfaces. We expected that, like the smaller Sarotech Clie external drive enclosure that fits in a pocket and that we've been using for quite a while without problems, it would be much more robust than the one we'd picked up at the swap meet. It even comes with a soft case and would probably have better firmware. We reasoned that if we didn't buy it, we'd probably lose hundreds of dollars worth of productive hours trying to sort out that hard drive problem.
While assembling it, we had a quick look at the manual and discovered it recommended the single setting for Western Digital drives. We whipped off the jumper, attached the cables - both were a nice, snug fit - and popped in the FireWire lead.
This time, when we went to the Computer Management console it detected 186MB of space immediately. We partitioned and formatted it, and put it to work on both the Windows PCs and the Macintosh. We measured its performance using a useful tool called HD Tach 3, from simplisoftware.com/Public/index.php?request=HdTach and for an external drive, it's very fast. You could see why an oniomaniac could become emotionally attached to it. But not us. We don't want to make the Radio Shark jealous.

How to Make Your Interview Process A Competitive Advantage
Article by Bradley Spencer, Practice Manager in Workbridge San Francisco
In a market that's fiercely competitive for top tech talent, it can be incredibly difficult to hire. San Francisco is at the epicenter of the tech market and although there is an abundance of talented engineers, it's not an easy road to bring on your top choice. As competitive as it is, a smooth interview process can be the difference between bringing on your front-runner or losing them to the competition. Here are some tips to make sure that you're in front at the finish line.
Be Realistic
Be realistic about where you're at as a company. There are a ton of great ideas out there, and you need to be prepared to sell candidates on what makes your product/company stand out. Selling on passion and innovation is important, but if you don't have a strong plan and roadmap that you're willing to lay out, it likely won't be enough to secure high caliber candidates.
Keep the Interview Process Short and Sweet
The sweet-spot for hiring is two or three interview rounds, however extending beyond this diminishes chances of hiring your top choice because a top candidate will have a list of other interested suitors as well. Additionally, candidates who are actively interviewing with multiple companies will have a limited availability to interview. This is especially true with passive candidates who are currently employed, and are trying to find time to interview while working full time. They may like the opportunity and be interested in the role, but typically have multiple opportunities at the top of their list. The longer you wait to pull the trigger, the higher the likelihood of missing out.
Don't Miss Out on Top Tier Talent!
Speak First
Code screens before speaking with a candidate are a big turn off. In a highly saturated environment where top-tier developers are choosing from multiple options, an extensive code test early on will knock you down the list. This is especially true with candidates who have a lot of interview activity. When a candidate is heavily interviewing, a code test is daunting, and if it comes too early on in the process it can be a big turnoff out of the gates. Tests serve a purpose, but they should be administered towards the end of a hiring process when a candidate has bought into the product and company.
Don't Be Afraid to Invest
Don't fixate on candidates coming out of the Googles or Facebooks of the world. If you're looking for a 'Rockstar' or 'Purple Unicorn' you'll be looking for a long time. What you should be looking for are candidates that will be able to add long term value and grow into those highly desired engineers. Being a good scout of talent and having the ability to develop engineers is more important down the line if you have the structure in place to do so.
The Early Bird Gets The Worm
Be ready to move on your top choice quickly after the final round. Once you moved past the final round and determine that you want to extend an offer to a candidate, it's important to be quick. If candidates are interviewing for multiple roles, they are likely to have multiple offers, and in most cases the 'early bird gets the worm.' Make sure that you're making the right choice, but waiting too long to extend an offer and lock down your candidate can introduce unnecessary competition, so make sure you have all of your ducks in a row when you get to this point. Being quick to get an offer letter out after the final round can ensure that you're not getting into a bidding war with the competition.
Although there isn't a perfect process to guarantee you'll get exactly what you want, taking steps to move quickly in an efficient manner will help you build out a strong and capable team at a good market value. Looking for perfection and being stubborn can be the difference in building out a strong and capable team for your business and stalling out your ability to hire.
How to Build the Perfect Engineering Resume
Article by Morgan Khodayari, Practice Manager in Workbridge San Francisco
It's no secret that in our current market (particularly in the Bay Area) Engineers and IT professionals are in extremely high demand. With the national unemployment rate on a downward trend, companies are prepared to do whatever it takes to make the best hires. But even in a great market all job searches start with one key tool: a resume.
So how do you get your resume noticed? There are three simple things you need to keep in mind when crafting an engineering resume.
1. Keep what is most impressive at the top. Do you have a degree from a top-ranked school or program? Do you have any particular certifications? Have you recently written an application with the newest Javascript framework? Make sure that's the first thing a potential employer sees. When evaluating a resume it's expected that the most important information is right under your name, and you want something there that will immediately convince the reader that you deserve an interview.
2. Don't list technologies or applications that you haven't worked with recently. I get it; there are many tools/technologies you've "touched" that you could easily ramp up with when taking a new job. However, if there is a coding language, tool, application, or other technology that isn't in your core competencies— do not list it on your resume. Mention those technologies in the past positions you've worked, but don't make them the forefront of your resume if you're not ready to talk about it in depth. When potential employers receive your resume they expect you to be able to discuss everything listed in detail, and when you're not able to do that it gives the impression that you embellished or lied about what your capabilities.
3. Keep it concise. Your resume is not an opportunity to dictate your life story. Rather, it should be a summary or appendix of your professional experiences. Utilize bullet points to not only improve readability and keep the reader interested, but also to highlight your main accomplishments. Think of every point as an invitation for the interviewer to know more.
Most resumes are accepted or rejected in the first 30 seconds, and your objective in resume writing is to make sure you secure an interview. A great engineering resume perfectly reflects what you've done in the past, what you're currently working on, and what you want to do moving forward.
The Growing Demand for Data Scientists
Article by Scott Brosnan, Practice Manager in Workbridge San Francisco
Companies are using data to better understand consumers and the immense amount of new data pouring into their system. They know that this just might be the most important driver of business for success in today's world. Whether it is a small startup or a multi-billion company like Netflix or Facebook, data is at the core in making better business decisions. Companies now save every detail about every click of the mouse. Online companies are able to track the browsing patterns and habits of their users. This allows them to use that data to attract new users with similar profiles and characteristics of existing users.
There is a growing demand for individuals who can analyze this data and derive insights from it. This trend will continue to grow as more companies are trying to find ways to capitalize on this information. Companies are willing to (or having to) pay top dollar for individuals that possess these abilities.
A recent McKinsey report revealed some staggering statistics in the data science field. There are roughly 140,000 people that are working as data scientists right now, and by the year 2018 there will be a shortage of 150,000 to 190,000 people with data science abilities. The field is just so new that it is a simple supply and demand issue. Every company is trying to make more sense of their data and find ways to most effectively use it. There are just not enough people with the skill set to keep up with the demand.
Most data scientists right now have studied mathematics, statistics or computer sciences. Unbelievably, up until 2 years ago there was no data science or data analytics programs or major option in any university or school. One of the best indicators for the increasing need for data scientist, are the number of programs that are popping up around the country. We have seen programs begin at University of California, Berkeley, University of San Francisco and Indiana University.
As more and more companies look to take advantage of their data, the demand for data scientists will continue to grow.
San Francisco's Latest Tech Problem: Everyone Has a Job
Article by Lauren Winklepleck, Lead Recruiter in Workbridge San Francisco
It seems like almost every technology-based startup in the San Francisco area is hiring for someone that is technical. Whether that be for a DevOps Engineer, Big Data/Hadoop Developer, Ruby on Rails Engineer, or a UI/UX Designer— the SF tech market is booming dramatically and now more than ever…even more than in the dotcom boom of the early 2000's!
Back in the first quarter of 2001 there were roughly 32,521 high tech jobs open in San Francisco whereas in Q4 of 2013 there were approximately 53, 319 open tech jobs (source: CBRE research analysis of CA employment development data). That's a 63.9% increase in 12 years!
So with over 50,000 open tech jobs in San Francisco, how are these startups filling their roles and capturing great talent?
There are a several ways these startups are filling their roles— the most effective way, I've observed, is keeping in touch with personal networks as well as expanding them.
Successful hiring managers are reaching out to past colleagues, buddies from college, and even developers they overhear doing a technical phone interview on the MUNI train!
In San Francisco, specifically, software engineers have a 2% unemployment rate compared to 4.4% unemployment nationwide. The job market for engineers is hotter than ever, meaning companies will do whatever it takes to make their next great hire.
As startups continue to receive more funding, more tech jobs will open, which will continue to make the competition for candidates harder than ever—this trend shows no sign of slowing. It's exciting to see where the San Francisco tech market will be a year from now!
SF Brings Cheer to the Ronald McDonald House
Recently, our Workbridge San Francisco office went out to the Ronald McDonald House to bring as much St. Patrick Day cheer as they could. The team was definitely looking the part as a cheerful crew, as they were dressed in character, wearing green and lots of it! They arrived ready to roll-up their sleeves and get to work! Kendal, the supervisor at the Ronal McDonald House, divided the jobs into three areas: crafts, baking, and cleaning. Although, by the end of the day, everyone was pitching in to help in all areas.
There was a sweet aroma of baking cupcakes and cookies filling the air. The green icing, green M&M's, and of course green sprinkles were all key pieces in bringing out some Irish cheer. The Workbridge team worked hard, carefully decorating each cupcake and cookie with a unique St. Paddy's Day touch. The finished product resulted in a delicious reward. The families were in for quite the surprise when they arrived home.
Two brothers, Ryland and Trent, who decided to hang out with the Workbridge crew, illustrated such a strong resilient sense of hope. Trent, 8 years old, was staying at the house with his family, and he proudly showed off his fresh scars from a recent surgery. His smile was so strong and hopeful. After hearing their story, a few members of the crew took them outside to play.
The Ronald McDonald House works to keep families rested, healthy, strong and by pulling together during their time of need. The House offers a home-like environment where family members find comfort through supportive staff, volunteers, and other families in similar situations. When families stay close to their hospitalized child, the child heals quicker and the family copes better. Giving the families a distraction from a long day of supporting their loved ones, they were greeted with hot cookies, tasty cupcakes, and festive decorations.
Drones: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Article by Workbridge San Fransisco
Not long ago, drones were only thought of as tools of war; unmanned aircrafts that could easily seek and destroy predetermined targets without risking the life of a pilot. Drones have now become a major topic in today's tech community, from startups to fortune 500 companies. This has helped place the intriguing machines under a less negative light. The Editor-in-Chief of Wired, Chris Anderson, recently stepped down from position to spend more time leading 3D Robotics, a company he co-founded in 2009 which designs and manufactures various types of drones, and is the main supplier of drone technology for the DIY drone community.
So where is the industry going? Many companies are attempting to capitalize on this technology, with some very creative and interesting ideas.
Matternet is a start-up based out of Palo Alto that is developing something that could be a game changer, an automated drone delivery network that operates autonomously and is coordinated with a proprietary software platform. In laymen's terms, this would be a drone superhighway, a global grid system. Their initial vertical is the billion dollar pharmaceutical industry, which could be very profitable for the company, and whose delivery system is in need of updating. Many areas in 3rd world countries, places that are most in need of such medicines, are difficult, if not impossible to reach by traditional infrastructure. A drone program would be the perfect solution.
Skycatch is a start-up based out of San Francisco that builds fully autonomous data retrieval drones for enterprise use in construction, energy, mining, and other complex industrial terrains. The drones are built with a wide range of components and sensors depending on client needs, can cover large geographic areas, and capture data at scale. The drones can be easily controlled using custom apps build with the Skycatch API, or with the Skycatch website and application.
Rolls-Royce Holdings plc (not to be confused with Rolls-Royce Motors) wants to challenge the $375 billion dollar freight industry with "drone" ships, crewless cargo ships that transport imports and exports around the world from country to country. The company says that this will safer, cheaper, and less polluting than the current ships which carry an astounding 90% of world trade.
As most have heard, Amazon has big plans for using drones as a primary method of delivery for their empire of e-commerce retail around the world.
These are just a few of the applications that drones could be used for in the future. More and more ideas are being thought up, and more and more rounds of funding are flowing to companies with promising ideas surrounding drone hardware, drone software, drone networks, and the like. While there are still negative implications with the mass use of drones in our global economy and society as a whole, there are obviously good things to be said about the future of these unmanned vehicles and how they can positively impact the world.
What's Your Preference, Java or Ruby?
Article by Cory Guilory, Technical Recruiter at Workbridge San Francisco.
With technology changing every day and the competition to create the most innovative and influential products rising by the millisecond, deciding on what technologies you are using to build these products is becoming even more crucial for success. With that being said, I want to examine two of the most used technology stacks in Silicon Valley and try to answer the question: Java or Ruby?
Ruby on Rails is one of the hottest terms in technology and there are endless reasons why. Being that Ruby on Rails is an open-source web application, its popularity among developers has increased dramatically over the last 6 years. Its success is driven in part by thriving companies who benefit from the speed and agility of Rails, which boosts productivity and revenue.
Many of the companies that you know and love use Ruby in some capacity - Amazon, NASA, Groupon, and Yahoo, just to name a few. The fact that Ruby on Rails is providing an open-source programming framework that includes reusable and easily configurable components makes working with this language appealing to programmers.
With start-ups increasingly focused on information delivery rather than physical product delivery, many choose Rails to build apps quickly, at low cost and, therefore, low risk. As businesses explore how they can use Ruby on Rails to build their next generation of products and services for consumers and employees, they'll discover the significant development time-saving Ruby on Rails offers. Coupling this with low up-front investment and overall cost savings, it makes perfect sense that we'll continue to see more companies choosing Ruby on Rails in the future.
Now that we've gotten everyone excited, I want to shed some light on one of the most used technologies in the world and how Java has significant advantages over other languages and environments. Unlike Ruby on Rails, Java has been in use for more than 20 years. Java was originally designed for interactive television, however, it was too far ahead of its time. Java is an object-orientated programming language designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is intended to let application developers "write once, run anywhere", meaning that code that runs on one platform does not need to be recompiled to run on another.
Another key benefit of using Java is its security features. The Java platform allows users to download untrusted code over a network and run it in a secure environment in which it cannot do any harm. It cannot infect the host system with a virus, cannot read or write files from the hard drive, and so forth. Java uses 16-bit Unicode characters, rather than the more traditional 8-bit characters, that represent only the alphabets of English languages which allows for increased usability worldwide.
The final, and perhaps most important reason to use Java, is that programmers like it. Java is a simple and elegant language with a well-designed, intuitive set of APIs, allowing programmers write better code with fewer bugs, again reducing development time.
Choosing between these two technologies for your web programming can be difficult, but the expectation of your end-user, quality, and timeliness of executing your deliverable will guide your choice. Do you opt for one of the world's most well-trusted, well-designed, and secure technologies in use with Java, or are you intrigued by the "new kid on the block" who can offer low cost, low complexity web applications that can get your product up and running in no time with Ruby?
UI & UX: The Difference in Terms of Design
Article by Haithem Ibrahim, Recruiter in Workbridge San Francisco
UI and UX, two terms that I'm sure just about everyone in the tech community has recently heard used fairly loosely. It seems that every company small and large is looking for a UI/UX designer to join their teams. Clearly these two acronyms have become the tech industry's latest buzzwords. But what do they actually mean? To start off, let's define the two. First we have UI which refers to "User Interface" and second we have UX which refers to "User Experience". It terms of design, UI and UX cannot be used irreplaceably.
User Interface (UI) Design generally refers to the user facing side of any type of physical interface, whether that is your latest smartphone, a desktop computer, or the navigation system in your new car. A UI designer is responsible for everything that a user will see on the interface. This includes everything from (but not limited to) input controls such as buttons, navigational components such as sliders, and informational components such as message boxes. Furthermore, it is the UI designer's responsibility to understand what the users' needs are. They must be able to arrange the interface in a simple way that allows for the best user experience. Now that we have established that the UI designer is responsible for everything that the user can see and use, what does the UX designer do?
The UX designer is responsible for the emotion of the user. They are responsible for how they feel when interacting with the interface or product. UX is a much broader term that encompasses the entire process from concept to completion. UX designers generally start by conducting user research and interviews. The goal with this is to understand exactly what the users' needs are. In most cases, the next step is to create a set of personas of each possible user and their needs. Once these first two steps have been completed, the UX designer will have the information needed to create the backbone of the product or "wireframes". The wireframes are essentially the blueprints of what the UI designer will use to create the interface that the user interacts with.
Clearly UI and UX design are interrelated and you need both to create simple user centered products. At the same time, one should understand the differences between them. As stated, UI design focuses on what the user can see and touch and UX design focuses on how the user feels when they interact with the product. Hopefully my brief description about the differences in UI and UX design has given you a better understanding of two!

We use a Sagnac interferometer to measure the dispersive and absorptive properties of room temperature Rubidium vapor on the D2 line at 780.2 nm. We apply a pump beam such that the resulting system exhibits electromagnetically induced transparency. Using a "biased alignment" technique we demonstrate a direct and robust method of measuring the rapid variation in the refractive index. Such a "slow-light" Sagnac interferometer is ideally suited to precision measurement applications such as magnetometry and inertial sensing.

Pablo Sandoval has been examined by Dr. James Andrews, following several consultations with Colonel Harland Sanders. And according to the Boston Globe, the Red Sox infielder will undergo season ending surgery on his shoulder.
So the next time anybody in Boston sees Big Pablo in a Red Sox jersey, it will be in Spring Training. You know, just like this year when he showed up over weight, out of shape, and literally busting his belt with his gut.
Here's a question: I know Dr. James Andrews has extended countless careers. But is there any way while he's working on Pablo's shoulder, he would also hook him up with some gastric bypass? Maybe slip one of those sleeves on his stomach that limits the intake of donut holes and jiblets? Because that's what this guy really needs. Either that or to have his jaw wired shut.
The shoulder is just an injury. That can be fixed. His eating is a way of life. There's no procedure for that.
And the Red Sox can't exactly be confident that the dude's going to stay down, stay lean and live off fresh greens when he's recovering from surgery. He couldn't' even do it when he was healthy and supposedly motivated to earn their money. Never forget, this is the same Pablo that once gained 21 pounds in 21 days, and needed a food babysitter to keep creampuffs out of his gap. He actually has SANDO is his name. And I just don't think months off work and away from cameras are going to get him to change his name to Pablo Saladval.
4 strikeouts in 6 plate appearances this year. And now he's done. Boston signed him TO a 95 million dollar deal, and he's responded by eating 95 thousand meals. The Red Sox are a first place team. But this has been an F-minus signing.
The only good news about The Sando getting shoulder surgery is that means one less arm he can eat with. See you next spring, Sando.
And as always, if you're really fat, you cannot have Sando as part of your name. Even O.J. Mayo knows that.

4 Fingers Crispy Chicken Jakarta Reviews
205 reviews
4 Fingers Jun 05, 2012
The name alone is enough to draw you into this place. As curious as I was about it, I never did learn where the name came from. But that aside, this chicken place was a pleasant surprise. I was never into wings and such, although after eating here I'd say I would probably come back.
The atmosphere almost reminds me of a themed restaurant. Though it's a fairly new place with a contemporary design, the floors are smooth concrete and your food is served in metal containers with a folding handle. The back wall is painted with a mural of a city.
The menu is at the counter, where you order your food and take a number. That part seems more like a fast food experience. Chicken is the main menu, of course. You can get fries or rice as a side. The chicken wings and legs were very good. Of all the chicken joints I've been to in Indonesia 4 Fingers had the best. A meal of wings\legs, fries\rice, and a drink was about 5 or 6USD.

PM Samak said via Radio Thailand : I will not resignSeptember 4th, 2008 - 10:33 am ICT by Amrit Rashmisrisethi
Speaking live on Radio Thailand, Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej affirmed that he will continue his role as head of state, adding that he needed to stay on to to protect democracy of the country. He said he needed to find ways to defuse political tension now as the whole world is eye-ing on Thailand. Mr Samak said he spoke live via Radio Thailand to ask people to think on behalf of the nation, reminding people who plan to join the protests to think twice. PM Samak insisted that the declaration of the emergency decree was not a wrong idea, adding that supports lenient measures of the military to tackle protesters who seized the Government House. He asked listeners how the protests would end. At the same development, Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej said that Foreign Minister Tej Bunnag resigned because of pressure from various sides, including his wife. PM Samak said that Mr Tej handed him a letter, explaining that he was pressured by many to resign and that his wife could not tolerate him working with his government.

If you commit suicide that's nobody's fault but your own. Why not just wait for the world to end if that's what you believe. Stop trying to make people feel guilty for things that aren't there fault. That's is like me telling japan last year that an earthquake was coming. Should they commit suicide over it? Is it my fault if they do? Simply; no.
It's a different thing to posit the world ending and people taking that information into their own hands; and blankly telling someone to committ suicide.
So you are telling people what to think and post?
I'm also curious as to whether being gullible is an inherited trait. Is it inherited or learned? I have no idea.

I mean, of course it was their fault. They should have just sucked it up and dealt with it, right?
It was in no way, shape or form the bullies fault at all, correct?

Scheme's numerical "tower" consists of the following categories of numbers:
It is called a tower because each category "sits on" the one that follows it, in the sense that every integer is also a rational, every rational is also real, and every real number is also a complex number (but with zero imaginary part).
In addition to the classification into integers, rationals, reals and
complex numbers, Scheme also distinguishes between whether a number is
represented exactly or not. For example, the result of
2*sin(pi/4) is exactly 2^(1/2), but Guile
can represent neither pi/4 nor 2^(1/2) exactly.
Instead, it stores an inexact approximation, using the C type
Guile can represent exact rationals of any magnitude, inexact
rationals that fit into a C
double, and inexact complex numbers
double real and imaginary parts.
number? predicate may be applied to any Scheme value to
discover whether the value is any of the supported numerical types.
#tif obj is any kind of number, else
For example:
(number? 3) ⇒ #t (number? "hello there!") ⇒ #f (define pi 3.141592654) (number? pi) ⇒ #t
The next few subsections document each of Guile's numerical data types in detail.

my little one hasn't been sleeping well for about a month and half now- we think it is teething, but my question is- how do i get him to sleep all night. he goes to bed at 8 and will sleep until 2:30, then he wants to eat. i have been bringing him to my bed at this point because i am just soooo tired ( i have a nearly 4 year old too) then in my bed he wakes up about once an hour and wants to eat. at first we thought growth spurt, but now i think it is just habit and teething. he will not go back to sleep in his crib after he wakes to eat. i am not a big fan of the cry it out method this early. i have got up to feed him and tried to lay him back down, but he then cries like crazy. i need some advice or i am going to be the crazy one. i get about 4 hours of sleep a night and can't take a nap during the day because of my 4 yr old and my baby only naps for 30 minutes 3x a day. at the end of the day i am ready to cry- help!!!!Answer Question

Actually you have a baby that technically sleeps through the night. Sleeping through the night is considered a 5 hour stretch. You are much more lucky then many. The only real solution is for you to go down when baby goes down, no ifs, ands, or buts about it. BTW even CIO advocates say no CIO during teething because a teething child absolutely needs your attention.

Conclave , the latest major expansion for Crusader Kings II, will give your vassals some bite to go along with your bark, as the council that governs your realm will now demand some say in how you rule.Read full description
Conclave , the latest major expansion for Crusader Kings II, will give your vassals some bite to go along with your bark, as the council that governs your realm will now demand some say in how you rule. Powerful dukes, regardless of competence, will require a seat at the table, and those left on the outside will be more likely to plot against you.
Keep your council happy, and the mighty vassals will resist the pull of faction and civil war. Dismiss their interests, though, and you may find yourself trying to hold together a council at war with itself.
Balance councilor skill and power to keep your dynasty safe and strong. Ignore powerful underlings at your peril, or simply buy their loyalty with favors. Conclave makes the royal council a force unto itself.
Councils can now vote on changes to realm laws – or you can try to limit their power and influence
Revised education system for royal children, with new traits and events designed for childhood
New diplomatic system that prioritizes marital alliances and non-aggression pacts, as well as the possibility of coalitions
Improved military combat model with a greater emphasis on morale, as well as new rules for mercenary companies
Crusader Kings II appreciates the subtlety of court intrigue. Conclave will give you new avenues to test that skill.
Crusader Kings II is required to play this DLC.
LEGAL: © 2016 Paradox InteractiveTM. Trademarks belong to their respective owners. All rights reserved
Conclave is a DLC for Crusader Kings II that focused on the political aspects of the game making your councils more relevant and giving them proper influence on the gameplay. Also, the diplomacy has been overall. Now you have influence on marriage and things like that, making them tools that you can use in your politics. Children's education has been improved too. Also the combat has been completly rebalanced. This DLC (+ the free update that was released) changes the game a lot. One might think that this should be part of the vanilla experience, but it's also a good DLC.
This DLC is not bad itself, the amount of content is good and it's enjoyable, the problem is the Free Patch that comes together with it which breaks quite a few existing parts of the game, but let's talk about one thing at the time. As for content itself - we get a lot of new options for councils and vassals, it makes empire-building much more complex, there's also a lot of new roleplaying content, story and lore facts, completely new education system together with new mechanics regarding children themselves (not only you can choose education paths, but for example force children to marry making new forced alliances). So quite a lot of high quality content and mechanics. The Patch part however is really bad! It breaks coalitions you previously had in game if they were multi-cultural or multireligious, Call to Arms is now automatic and cannot be declined, it reduced success rate of assassinations in favor of pay2win methods like buying favors etc. So as long as content is great itself unless the patch version gets fixed I cannot recommend this DLC, as the price for the nice new content will be breaking your existing gameplays!

Now, a wearable sensor system to investigate causes of asthma attacksJanuary 23rd, 2008 - 2:44 pm ICT by admin
Washington, January 23 (ANI): A sensor system developed by Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) researchers has the capability to carry out continuous monitoring of the air around persons prone to asthma attacks.
The new device, which can be comfortably worn in the pockets of a vest throughout the day and kept at the bedside while sleeping at night, may help researchers understand the causes of asthma attacks.
We are investigating whether we can go back after an asthma attack and see what was going on environmentally when the attack started, said Charlene Bayer, a GTRI principal research scientist.
The lungs of asthma patients can overreact to environmental stimuli causing chest tightness or breathlessness, known as an asthma attack.
The new sensor system measures airborne exposure to formaldehyde, carbon dioxide, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, temperature, relative humidity and total volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are emitted as gases from products like paints, cleaning supplies, pesticide formulations etc.
Besides, the system also involves a special mesh filter to collect particles. A pump pulls air through the filter so that the quantity of particles can be measured at the end of the sampling period.
The researchers say that the composition of the collected particulate can also be analysed in the laboratory.
The battery-powered system contains commercially available sensors that were integrated into a single system by Mark Jones, chief executive officer of Keehi Technologies.
The device weighs less than one pound including batteries and it takes a measurement of air every two minutes, stores the data in on-board memory and then sleeps to conserve battery power, said Jones.
When a wearer experiences an asthma attack, the researchers can examine the levels of the chemical compounds at the time.
The sensor system has already been tested for comfort and effectiveness in a study involving six adult volunteers, and it has brought benefits for one volunteer, whose vest detected higher volatile organic exposures in his home than anywhere else.
The research team discovered a pollutant pathway from the volunteers basement garage into the living areas that was allowing automobile exhaust and gasoline fumes to invade the house.
Bayer is now planning to develop a smaller and more sensitive sensor system, test the current system in population studies of asthmatic children, and develop software to process the population studies data as it is collected.
With this system we can determine what children are exposed to at home, at school and outside where they play. Chances are there are some overreaching compounds that seem to trigger asthma attacks in more children, said Bayer. (ANI)

Crossing the Border examines the emergence of a new philosophy based on the idea of "human-centred technology" and, through the use of a case study, illustrates the ways in which users, social scientists, managers and engineers can participate in the design and development of human-centred computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) system. The book offers a unique insight into a large European project (ESPRIT project 1217) aimed at the design and development of a human-centred CIM system. The book examines the problems inherent in developing interdisciplinary design methods and of "crossing the border" between the social and engineering sciences. The authors offer proposals and guidelines for overcoming such problems based on their experience within this project. Crossing the Border will be of particular interest to researchers and practitioners in the area of factory automation, to students and researchers in AI, and to all those interested in the human and organisational issues surrounding the computerised factory of the future.

Just before Christmas I got to chat with Chris Vallance of BBC Radio 5 Live and Seamus McCauley of Virtual Economics about what trends stood out in 2007 and what 2008 might hold in store for us.
I don't do predictions – I like the saying that the best way to predict the future is to make it happen – but it was fun and relaxed conversation. For those interested in what it was about, my ramblings start around 30:32 into the programme.

Although most of his work channels the 80's in color and style, Osborne brings a modern twist to his ideas. His pieces, like his personality and energy, bring life to the senses, and definitely demand a second look.

POST Office bosses have confirmed they will bring a permanent service to a suburb following a public consultation on the issue.
The organisation says it will be opening a counter at the No 1 Convenience Store, in Mill Lane, Warmsworth from Thursday, July 19, with longer opening hours than it has traditionally run.
The new site is 150 yards from the former Warmsworth Post Office.
Warmsworth had been without a post office since the previous branch closed in February due to the resignation of the subpostmaster and the withdrawal of premises for Post Office use.
But bosses say they have been we have been actively seeking an alternative way to provide the service since then.
Post Office Ltd spokeswoman Allison Wallace said: "During the consultation all feedback was in support of our plans to restore services to Warmsworth.
"We are confident the new service is suitably located and this move will enable us to secure Post Office services to our customers in Warmsworth in the longer term."
She added: "The branch will open at the new location on July 19 and, following staff training, from July 30 customers will benefit from longer opening hours as the service will be open Monday to Saturday from 6am to 9pm and on Sunday from 6am to 8pm."
Warmsworth Parish Councillor Ray Mullis said residents had greatly missed having a post office since the previous site closed five months ago.
He said: "It will be welcomed by most people in Warmsworth because they treasured their post office. We are pleased there will be some semblance of a post office counter back here.
"People have used it as a meeting place in the past for a chat. My own feeling is it will be good to be able to use it again for buying stamps and sending larger packages, and things that need to go abroad.
"I'm waiting to see the full range of services that will be on offer."
The service will operate from an open plan counter which will offer a range of products and services.

SHELBY COUNTY HEALTH CARE CORPORATION d/b/a REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER v. NATIONWIDE MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY
CORRECTION: On page 2, amici curiae were added changing the pagination
Court: TSC
Parks Tedford Chastain and Gordon C. Aulgur, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company.
Curtis H. Goetsch and Gary Carlton McCullough, Germantown, Tennessee, for the appellee, Shelby County Healthcare d/b/a Regional Medical Center.
Benjamin K. Lauderback, Hanson R. Tipton, and Sarah Larkin, Knoxville, Tennessee, for the amicus curiae, Tennessee Municipal League Risk Management Pool.
Melanie M. Stewart and Matthew S. Russell, Germantown, Tennessee, for the amicus curiae, Tennessee Defense Lawyers Association.
Edward Knight Lancaster and Julie Pedigo Bowling, Columbia, Tennessee, for the amicus curiae, Tennessee Farmers Mutual Insurance Company.
Robyn E. Smith and William Beesley Hubbard, Nashville, Tennessee, for the amicus curiae, Tennessee Hospital Association.
Judge: WADE
Kevin L. Holt, injured in an automobile accident in Arkansas, was first taken by ambulance to an Arkansas hospital and then transported to the Regional Medical Center in Memphis, where he incurred $33,823.02 in expenses. Shelby County Health Care Corporation, the operator of the Regional Medical Center, filed affidavits for a lien as prescribed by statute. Thereafter, Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company, which had medical coverage for Holt with limits of $5,000, paid $1,290 for ambulance services and $3,710 to the Arkansas hospital. Shelby County Health Care Corporation sued Nationwide for impairment of its lien, seeking as recovery the entire amount due for its medical services to Holt. The trial court awarded $5,000 in damages. The Court of Appeals revised the amount of the judgment to $33,823.02. Because we have determined that liens under the Hospital Lien Act do not attach to medical payment benefits paid pursuant to an insurance policy, the judgment of the Court of Appeals is reversed and the cause is dismissed.
LOU ELLA SHERRILL ET AL. v. BOB T. SOUDER, M.D. ET AL.
Court: TSC
Edmund J. Schmidt, III and David Randolph Smith, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Barbara Pigg.
Jeffrey L. Lay, Dyersburg, Tennessee, for the appellees, Bob T. Souder, M.D. and TransSouth Health Care Center, P.C.
Judge: WADE
This litigation involves a claim of medical malpractice against the two defendants, a physician and the corporation operating his clinical practice, alleging negligence in the prescription of a drug. The trial court granted the defendants' motion for summary judgment on grounds that the suit was barred by the one-year statute of limitations. The Court of Appeals affirmed. The question before the Court is the propriety of summary judgment on statute of limitations grounds. Although the trial court properly concluded that the cause of action accrued more than a year before the suit was filed, there is a genuine issue of material fact regarding whether the plaintiff was of unsound mind on the date the cause of action accrued, thus tolling the limitations period. Because the suit was not time-barred as a matter of law, the grant of summary judgment must be reversed. The cause is remanded to the trial court for proceedings consistent with this opinion.
84 LUMBER COMPANY v. R. BRYAN SMITH, ET AL.
With Concurring and Dissenting Opinion
Court: TCA
Rick J. Bearfield, Johnson City, Tennessee, for the appellant, R. Bryan Smith.
John M. Neal, Knoxville, Tennessee, for the appellee, 84 Lumber Company.
Judge: SWINEY
84 Lumber Company ("84 Lumber") sued R. Bryan Smith ("Smith") and Allstates Building Systems, LLC ("Allstates") for a balance owed on an open account. Both sides filed motions for summary judgment. The Circuit Court granted 84 Lumber summary judgment, and entered a judgment against Smith and Allstates in the amount of $27,611.31 plus attorney's fees and costs in the amount of $6,500.00. Smith appeals to this Court. We find that Smith did not sign the credit application in his personal capacity and, therefore, did not guarantee Allstates' debt. We reverse the grant of summary judgment against Smith, and grant summary judgment to Smith. We affirm the grant of summary judgment against Allstates.
SUSANO concurring in part and dissenting in part
ROBERT G. CRABTREE, JR., ET AL. v. JENNIFER L. LUND
With Concurring Opinion
Court: TCA
Thomas E. Cowan, Jr. (trial counsel) and J. Collins Landstreet, II (appellate counsel), Elizabethton, Tennessee, for the appellants, Robert G. Crabtree, Jr. and Bonnie K. Hakey.
J. Eddie Lauderback, Johnson City, Tennessee, for the appellee, Jennifer L. Lund.
Judge: SUSANO
Robert G. Crabtree, Jr., and Bonnie K. Hakey (collectively "the plaintiffs") filed suit against Jennifer L. Lund ("the defendant") seeking compensation for personal injuries and property damage arising out of a April 22, 2005, multiple-vehicle accident in Carter County. With her answer, the defendant coupled a motion to dismiss under Tenn. R. Civ. P. 12.02 "on the basis of insufficiency of process and insufficiency of service of process." Following a hearing, the trial court dismissed the plaintiffs' suit with prejudice finding "that the Plaintiffs have not provided to the Court any valid reason for the delay in obtaining prompt service of process upon the Defendant." Plaintiffs appeal. We (1) vacate the trial court's judgment dismissing the plaintiffs' complaint and (2) remand for further proceedings.
SWINEY concurring
JOHN P. KONVALINKA v. CHATTANOOGA-HAMILTON COUNTY HOSPITAL AUTHORITY
Court: TCA
Fred H. Moore and Joseph R. White, Chattanooga, Tennessee, and Richard L. Shackelford and Lynn M. Adam, Atlanta, Georgia, for the appellant, Chattanooga-Hamilton County Hospital Authority.
John P. Konvalinka, Chattanooga, Tennessee, Pro Se.
Judge: SUSANO
This is the second time this case, filed by John P. Konvalinka ("the Petitioner") to force disclosure of public documents, has been before us. In the trial court's order that generated the first appeal, the court held that the records the Petitioner requested from Chattanooga-Hamilton County Hospital Authority ("the Hospital" or "Erlanger") were exempt from disclosure under state law, and pretermitted the question of whether they were exempt from disclosure under federal law. On appeal, we held that the records were not protected from disclosure by state law and remanded for a determination of whether they were protected from disclosure by federal law. The Hospital attempted on remand to assert additional state law defenses to disclosure. The trial court held that the new state law defenses were outside the scope of the remand. It also held that federal law did not protect the documents at issue from disclosure. Accordingly, it ordered the Hospital to produce the documents. The Hospital appeals challenging both aspects of the trial court's judgment. We affirm.
SHIRLEY NICHOLSON v. LESTER HUBBARD REALTORS, ET AL.
Court: TCA
Sam F. Cole, Jr., Memphis, Tennessee, for the appellant, Shirley Nicholson.
Kenneth M. Margolis, Memphis, Tennessee, for the appellees, Lester Hubbard Realtors, Regina H. Hubbard, Lester Hubbard and Kimberly Jackson.
Judge: HIGHERS
After Plaintiff appealed from general sessions to circuit court, the circuit court entered an order requiring her to file a formal complaint. The circuit court then granted the Defendants' motion to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a claim. We find no error in the trial court's decision to require Plaintiff to file a formal complaint, but we reverse its determination that the amended complaint failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted.
SHERRY A. RIDLEY v. JAMES G. NEELEY, ET AL.
Court: TCA
Joe Timberlake, Signal Mountain, Tennessee, for the appellant, Sherry A. Ridley.
Robert E. Cooper, Jr., Attorney General and Reporter; Michael E. Moore, Solicitor General; and Lindsey O. Appiah, Assistant Attorney General, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellee, Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development.
Colby S. Morgan, Memphis, Tennessee, for the appellee, Federal Express Corporation.
Judge: SUSANO
After being discharged from her employment with Federal Express Corporation ("the Employer"), Sherry A. Ridley filed a claim for unemployment compensation. The Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development ("the Department") initially approved her claim, and its ruling was affirmed by the Appeals Tribunal. Following an evidentiary hearing, the Appeals Tribunal reversed, concluding that Ridley was disqualified from receiving unemployment benefits because she was discharged for work-related misconduct. The Board of Review affirmed the denial of benefits. Ridley filed a petition for judicial review. The trial court affirmed the Board's decision. Ridley appeals to this Court and essentially contends that there is no evidence that she committed work-related misconduct. We conclude that there is substantial and material evidence to support the decision that Ridley is disqualified from receiving unemployment compensation benefits because of work-related misconduct. Accordingly, we affirm.
DANNY E. ROGERS v. STEVE PAYNE, ET AL.
Court: TCA
Danny E. Rogers, Mountain City, Tennessee, pro se.
Robert E. Cooper, Jr., Attorney General and Reporter, Michael E. Moore, Solicitor General, David S. Sadlow, Assistant Attorney General, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellees, Steve Payne, et al.
Judge: HIGHERS
This appeal involves an inmate's petition for writ of certiorari, which he filed after he was convicted by the prison disciplinary board of participating in security threat group activity. After reviewing the record, the trial court dismissed his petition. We affirm.
ARTHUR A. WINQUIST, et al., v. JAMES A. GOODWIN, et al.
Court: TCA
Susie Lodico and Gary R. Patrick, Chattanooga, Tennessee, for the appellants, James A. Goodwin and Verna K. Goodwin.
Rebecca L. Hicks, Dayton, Tennessee, for the appellees, Arthur A. Winquist and Judith Winquist.
Judge: FRANKS
This case was precipitated when defendants blocked plaintiffs' use of an existing driveway. Plaintiffs brought this action for a declaratory judgment and following an evidentiary hearing, the Trial Court ruled that plaintiffs had a prescriptive easement to use the driveway and that defendants would be required to restore the driveway as well as the excavations damaging plaintiffs' lots. On appeal, we affirm.
STATE OF TENNESSEE v. DOYLE BENTON
Court: TCCA
D. Mitchell Bryant, Athens, Tennessee, for the appellant, Doyle Benton.
Robert E. Cooper, Jr., Attorney General and Reporter; Renee W. Turner, Senior Counsel; Robert Steve Bebb, District Attorney General; and Cynthia LaCroy-Schemel and A. Wayne Carter, Assistant District Attorneys General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.
Judge: TIPTON
The Defendant, Doyle Benton, pled guilty and was sentenced as a Range I, standard offender to three years' confinement for criminal conspiracy to sell schedule II cocaine in an amount less than 0.5 grams, a Class D felony; to five years' confinement for sale and delivery of schedule II cocaine in an amount less than 0.5 grams, a Class C felony; and to three years' confinement for sale and delivery of schedule III narcotics, a Class D felony; all to be served concurrently for an effective sentence of five years' confinement. On appeal, the Defendant contends that his sentences are excessive in length and that the trial court erred by denying his request for probation. The judgments of the trial court are affirmed.
ALFRED EUGENE BRADLEY v. STATE OF TENNESSEE
Court: TCCA
Ardena J. Garth and Richard Kenneth Mabee (on appeal) and Jonathan Turner (at trial), Chattanooga, Tennessee, for the appellant, Alfred Eugene Bradley.
Robert E. Cooper, Jr., Attorney General and Reporter; Leslie E. Price, Assistant Attorney General; William H. Cox, III, District Attorney General; and Bates Bryan, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.
Judge: OGLE
The Petitioner, Alfred Eugene Bradley, filed a petition for post-conviction relief, raising numerous claims of ineffective assistance of counsel. After a hearing, the post-conviction court denied the petition, finding that trial counsel was not ineffective, and the Petitioner timely appealed. We affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
STATE OF TENNESSEE v. MARK HINES
Court: TCCA
Robert Wilson Jones, District Public Defender; and Phyllis L. Aluko (on appeal) and Timothy J. Albers (at trial), Assistant Public Defenders, for the appellant, Mark Hines.
Robert E. Cooper, Jr., Attorney General and Reporter; Lindsy Paduch Stempel, Assistant Attorney General; William L. Gibbons, District Attorney General; and Hamilton Douglas Carriker and Kate Edmands, Assistant District Attorneys General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.
Judge: TIPTON
The Defendant, Mark Hines, was found guilty by a Shelby County Criminal Court jury of criminal attempt to commit second degree murder. See T.C.A. sections 39-13-210(a)(1), 39-12-101(a)(2), -(3) (2006). He was sentenced as a Range I, standard offender to ten years' confinement in the Department of Correction. On appeal, he contends that (1) the evidence is insufficient to support his conviction, (2) the trial court erred by permitting the State to introduce prejudicial demonstrative evidence to the jury, (3) the trial court erred by admitting testimonial hearsay into evidence, (4) the trial court erred by giving incorrect and incomplete jury instructions, and (5) he was improperly sentenced. We affirm the conviction, but we reverse the sentence and remand the case for resentencing.
DEXTER F. JOHNSON v. STATE OF TENNESSEE
Court: TCCA
Dexter F. Johnson, Mountain City, Tennessee, pro se.
Robert E. Cooper, Attorney General and Reporter; and Clark B. Thornton, Assistant Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.
Judge: THOMAS
The Petitioner, Dexter F. Johnson, appeals from the post-conviction court's order denying his motion to reopen his petition for post-conviction relief. The State has filed a motion requesting that this court affirm the post-conviction court's order pursuant to Rule 20 of the Rules of the Court of Criminal Appeals. Following our review, the State's motion is granted, and the judgment of the post-conviction court is affirmed.
