For intensity and brilliance beyond compare, experience Mission Gold Watercolors by Mijello. This line of 96 super-premium watercolors was designed with the help of expert watercolor artists to mirror the strong, vivid colors of nature.
Color Swatches created using heavy application/diluted application and were applied on cold press watercolor paper (150 lb) material.
polychlorinated copper(II) phthalocyanine
C32H3Cl13CuN8 to C32HCl15CuN8 or C32H16CuN8Cl15 (PG7) or C32Br6Cl10CuN8 (PG36)
Phthalo Green is a transparent, cool, bright, high intensity color used in oil and acrylics. It comes from a Phthalocyanine Blue pigment where most of the hydrogen atoms have been replaced with chlorine, forming highly stable molecules. It has similar pigment properties and permanence to Phthalo Blue. It is slow drying and an excellent base color for mixing a range of bright greens. Phthalo Green is considered a very good alternative to Viridian because it is intense and mixes well and can be used to emphasize mineral colors in various tints. However, its tinting strength is very high, so it can overpower other colors. This pigment most closely resembles the discontinued and toxic Verdigris.
Phthalo Greens are completely lightfast and resistant to alkali, acids, solvents, heat, and ultraviolet radiation. They are currently used in inks, coatings, and many plastics due to their stability and are considered a standard pigment in printing ink and the packaging industry.
Phthalo Green has no significant hazards, but it contained PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) until 1982.
This bright blue-green was developed in 1935 and has been in use since 1938.

organic, quinacridone
Quinacridone Magenta is a semi-transparent and powerful bluish red with an impressive mixing range. It makes an excellent glazing color and is one of the bluest of the Quinacridone colors. The pigment's properties vary considerably, depending on how it is ground. Quinacridone pigments have relatively low tinting strength in general. For this reason, quinacridone colors are often expensive, because more pigment is required in the formulation.
Quinacridone Magenta offers very good lightfastness in most media, but some have argued that it is less lightfast in watercolor form. Although Quinacridone Magenta received only a passing grade of "fair" under ASTM test protocols, other test results have rated the pigment very good to excellent. Transparent reddish violet pigments in general have more problems with lightfastness than any other range of colors. PR122 is often used as the Magenta of CMYK (four color) process printing because it offers a better tradeoff between tinting strength and lightfastness than other pigments in its class.
Quinacridone Magenta has no acute hazards. Overexposure to quinacridone pigments may cause skin irritation. Quinicridone pigments contain a compound found to be a skin, eye, and respiratory irritant.
Quinacridone Magenta came from a red violet aniline dye that was first produced in 1858 by Natanson. It was called Magenta to commemorate a battle in Magenta, Italy. Over time, Magenta became the standard color name for a deep, violet red. Although quinacridone compounds became known in the late 19th century, methods of manufacturing so as to make them practical for use as commercial pigments did not begin until the 1950s. PR122 has become particularly popular in the formulation of Magenta for CMYK process printing.

Chuck Schumer will support Chuck Hagel's nomination for Secretary of Defense. With Schumer's support, Hagel is likely to be confirmed. But then, as we have said, Schumer was always likely to support the nomination.
Schumer's announcement follows a meeting with Hagel in which the nominee professed support for a series of pro-Israel positions including ones that are inconsistent with those he has taken in the past:
Schumer said that his support was sown up after Hagel — whom Obama formally nominated last week after a month of preparation — committed to several positions regarding Iran that met with Schumer's preference. As a two-term senator, Hagel had been unique in positions calling for direct talks the Iranian regime and opposing unilateral sanctions by the United States against the renegade regime. In a very detailed statement, Schumer said Hagel left no doubt that he would support a very aggressive posture toward Tehran.
"Senator Hagel rejected a strategy of containment and expressed the need to keep all options on the table in confronting that country. But he didn't stop there," Schumer said. "In our conversation, Senator Hagel made a crystal-clear promise that he would do 'whatever it takes' to stop Tehran from obtaining nuclear weapons, including the use of military force. He said his "top priority" as secretary of defense would be the planning of military contingencies related to Iran.
Hagel also pledged to continue supporting the delivery of F-35 Joint Strike Fighters to Israel and in general supported Israel's right to a strong "qualitative military edge," as its leaders like to assert.
I could find no information as to whether Hagel asked Schumer if, in extracting these assurances, the New York Senator was acting on behalf of the "Jewish lobby" or serving as the Senator from Israel.
Hagel's statements plainly represent a confirmation conversion. He fancies himself as the one politician in Washington willing to utter "the truth" about Israel in the face of the all-powerful pro-Israel lobby. But when push came to shove, Hagel did an about-face, saying whatever was necessary to satisfy his personal ambition.
Schumer is too smart to deny Hagel's about-face. So he tried to dress it up as a response to changed conditions in the Middle East:
Senator Hagel realizes the situation in the Middle East has changed, with Israel in a dramatically more endangered position than it was even five years ago. His views are genuine, and reflect this new reality.
This is nonsense. The threat to Israel is essentially the same as it was five years ago — the threat posed by Iran's quest to develop nuclear weapons. To be sure, Iran is closer now to developing nukes than it was five years ago. But everyone knew five years ago that Iran would be closer now. It's as if a politician were to claim he's changed his position on the need to buy snow ploughs because winter has arrived.
To my knowledge, Hagel never qualified his statement that the military option against Iran "is not a viable, feasible, responsible option" by adding that if Iran reaches a certain point, the military option would become viable, feasible, or reponsible. Schumer's rationale doesn't even rise to the level of a fig-leaf.
All that's left is for Hagel — the tough guy, plain speaking iconoclast — to repeat his craven performance in public under questioning from the likes of John McCain. Presumably he'll be able to remember his lines and hold his tongue. Either way, it should be an amusing spectacle.
But it won't be amusing to watch Hagel try to administer the Pentagon — a task for which, as far as I can tell, he lacks both the skill and the intellectual fire power.
UPDATE: Hagel supporters may point to a Washington Post op-ed he co-signed with four others in September 2012 as evidence that Hagel had by then revised his views on military action towards Iran. Of course, by last September, Hagel was already angling for the Secretary of Defense job. In any event, as I argued here, the op-ed doesn't really alter his longstanding opposition to the military option.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A senator critical of Wall Street took regulators to task on Thursday for failing to take banks to court over misconduct, coming out swinging in her first public appearance as a member of the Senate Banking Committee.
Elizabeth Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat, said U.S. financial regulators appear to have focused too much on ironing out settlements with large financial firms, as opposed to taking them to trial for alleged misconduct.
Her comments quickly became the highlight of a hearing with the heads of seven regulatory agencies responsible for cracking down on financial abuses and preventing another blowup like the 2007-2009 financial crisis.
"The question I really want to ask is about how tough you really are," Warren said, drawing applause from spectators in the packed room during an otherwise low-key hearing.
"I'm really concerned that too-big-to-fail has become too-big-for-trial," she said.
U.S. authorities in recent years have entered into a number of major settlements with top banks over financial misconduct.
Warren directed her criticism at the Securities and Exchange Commission, which is appealing a court ruling that rejected a proposed $285 million settlement with Citigroup. In rejecting the accord, the judge challenged the SEC's practice of letting companies settle without admitting or denying the allegations.
Previously, the same judge had turned down a $33 million SEC settlement with Bank of America Corp, later approving a $150 million accord.
SEC Chairman Elisse Walter told Warren the agency has asked for additional authority to go after firms for misconduct.
"I think Senator Warren was suggesting that we should take big Wall Street banks to trial even when we are getting all the relief we can get at trial through a settlement," Walter told reporters after the hearing. "I understand that point of view, but I don't agree with it."
Warren, who was elected in November, already had a reputation as a tough adversary of big banks.
She led a congressionally appointed panel that was charged with keeping an eye on the government's bailout of the financial system and championed the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which was created by the 2010 Dodd-Frank oversight law and which she set up.
She has kept a low profile since taking office last month, but on Thursday showed that her appetite for policing Wall Street was undiminished.
Lawmakers also expressed concern about a settlement between more than a dozen banks and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve in which the banks agreed to pay some $9.3 billion to end case-by-case reviews of past home foreclosures.
New Jersey Democrat Bob Menendez asked whether it was fair to end the reviews if certain borrowers still wanted them.
"Despite keeping their legal rights to sue the banks, most borrowers don't have the financial means to litigate their cases if they feel the compensation was inadequate," he said.
Thomas Curry, who heads the OCC, said the settlement "isn't perfect" but that it was necessary to end a long, flawed review process that had grown expensive.
The hearing was intended to check in on regulators' progress writing dozens of new rules required by Dodd-Frank, including a ban on proprietary trading known as the Volcker rule and new regulations for the over-the-counter swaps market.
Committee Chairman Tim Johnson, a Democrat from South Dakota, cited a new Government Accountability Office report that said the crisis may have cost the U.S. economy more than $10 trillion and asked regulators to move forward with efforts to make the financial system more durable.
Lawmakers pressed the regulators on how various rules, such as a series of new mortgage regulations, would work together and whether the agencies are considering the impact of new rules on small banks.
Sen. Mike Crapo of Idaho, the committee's top Republican, said regulators need to give more information on how new rules for the over-the-counter swaps market would apply overseas.
"There is a bipartisan concern that some of the Dodd-Frank rules go too far and need to be fixed," he said.

Round Bookcase Hovering Above Davis' Writing Studio
Ever wondered how a massive bookcase can become part of a working space? This is a fantastic solution – constructing a round bookcase hovering above the work space. Designed by Travis Price Architects, this interesting space arrangement was created for Wade Davis. He needed a space that would encompass his interests. Being an anthropologist, ethnobotanist, author and photographer, Wade Davis' Writing Studio had to convey a feeling of enthusiasm and knowledge, so Travis Price Architects imagined a cave-inspired design that would capture natural light and bring it inside.
By building a dome above Dave's workspace, the architect designed an unusual space that would display the most used books, which enables the client to interact with his them in an inspiring setting. The architects describes this dome "as similar to the rotunda of the oracle's temple at Delphi", while Davis calls it his "Navajo kiva of knowledge". As they say, "with great power comes great responsibility" – this in seen in the respect this arrangement has for the books and their human counterpart. On a scale of 1 to 10, how much do you like this working space?

Robotics took center stage Monday aboard the International Space Station as the Expedition 36 crew set up a humanoid robot for some remote tests and trained for Friday's arrival of a Japanese space freighter now en route to the complex.
The fourth Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency H-II Transfer Vehicle, or HTV-4, which launched from the Tanegashima Space Center in southern Japan Saturday at 3:48 p.m. EDT (4:48 a.m. Sunday, Japan time), remains on track for its rendezvous with the orbital laboratory Friday morning to deliver around 3.6 tons of cargo. Flight Engineers Karen Nyberg and Chris Cassidy of NASA will use Canadarm2, the station's Canadian Space Agency-provided robotic arm, to reach out and capture the vehicle at 7:29 a.m. Friday for its installation on the Earth-facing port of the Harmony node.
Flight Engineer Luca Parmitano, who will be monitoring the systems of HTV-4 during its rendezvous, joined Nyberg and Cassidy at the robotics workstation in the station's cupola Monday for another practice run of HTV-4's capture with Canadarm2. The three astronauts rehearsed the procedures for an offset grapple of the cargo craft, making sure they are prepared to capture the craft as it holds at a position about 35 feet below the station even if it is in a less-than-optimal orientation. Later this week, Cassidy and Nyberg will conduct additional training using the Robotics Onboard Trainer to maintain their proficiency with the arm.
With Monday's "hands on" robotics training completed, the robotics team at Mission Control in Houston remotely maneuvered the arm to a "high hover" position — the correct orientation for its capture of the HTV-4 cargo craft Friday.
Cassidy also worked in the Destiny laboratory assembling and powering up Robonaut 2, the first humanoid robot in space, for another round of ground-commanded testing. After Cassidy configured Robonaut, the team at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. put the robot through its paces at a task board and commanded it to grab and use a disinfectant wipe. Robonaut was designed with the intention of eventually taking over tasks deemed too dangerous or mundane for astronauts and even venturing outside the complex someday to assist spacewalkers.
Parmitano spent some time replacing cables for a camera port in the Quest airlock that recently experienced difficulty transmitting a clean picture. Parmitano later took a break from his work to discuss life and work aboard the station with Italian media gathered at the European Space Research Institute near Rome.
Nyberg meanwhile rounded out her day conducting routine maintenance on the Waste and Hygiene Compartment.
On the Russian side of the complex, Flight Engineers Fyodor Yurchikhin and Alexander Misurkin focused on preparations for a pair of spacewalks they will conduct on August 16 and 22 to deploy experiments and connect cables for the new Russian Multipurpose Laboratory Module set to arrive later this year. The two cosmonauts prepared their Russian Orlan spacesuits and configured systems inside the Pirs docking compartment.
Commander Pavel Vinogradov meanwhile performed some maintenance on the ventilation system of the Zvezda service module and conducted an audit of medical kits.

95-pages of historical facts for your perusal
The year 2013 marked the beginning of CTA's Sesquicentennial (Ses·qui·cen·ten·ni·al) - the organization's 150th Anniversary! The entire year thus far has been dedicated to celebrating this milestone. We've collected words from past CTA presidents, retired educators and staff in our recorded Oral History project that takes you down memory lane - and be sure to check out our Interactive Collage below. Earlier in the year, we produced a number of resources so you could share in the celebration: posters, fliers, Facebook cover images & sample posts, special 150th Anniversary logos, as well as television spots and radio & print ads. And though the actual 150 Anniversary month was May, we're celebrating CTA's Sesquicentennial at CTA's final State Council meeting for the fiscal year in October by unveiling our mobile museum!
In addition to the historical items displayed on the Interactive Collage to above, check out this long list of CTA highlights over these 150 years, including CTA's donation to help restore California's first two-story schoolhouse, pictured above. Hundreds of thousands of school children gave their pennies, nickels and dimes to the project, raising $40,000 altogether. When CTA's board of directors learned that the project was still $30,000 short, it didn't hesitate and took the action to "Finish the job!"
CTA was founded in 1863 as the California Educational Society by state schools superintendent John Swett with fewer than 100 members, all male. What a difference 150 years makes. With 325,000 members, CTA now is the most inclusive & most powerful voice of educators in the state.
John Swett: "Association in some form is the soul of modern progress… let us organize and work together. Let us make our influence felt in leading public opinion in school affairs."
Every child deserves a chance to learn and no child succeeds alone.

Bletchley Park fires up Big Green-Eyed Monster
Vintage air traffic computer lands at National Museum of Computing
The National Museum of Computing (TNMOC) has announced the revitalisation of two PDP11-based radar stations which, as part of the IRIS investigative radar recording system, for 25 years helped control the UK's airspace from "without a single incident ever being attributed to an Air Traffic Control failing".
With the transfer of ATC operations from West Drayton to Swanwick, the last of the veteran system's radar stations was taken offline earlier this year, and TNMOC secured a pair of them for posterity.
TNMOC director and trustee Kevin Murrell explained: "We first saw the IRIS working at West Drayton in 2001 and we immediately knew that we wanted the decommissioned technology as a working exhibit in the museum.
"IRIS finally came out of service in early 2008 and it's been a major task to rebuild it, but volunteers Ben Trethowan and Peter Vaughan have succeeded in sparking it into life. The final trick was to replace some wiring that had become faulty.
"The reconstruction feat is truly outstanding because these are highly complex systems that were originally put together by experts trained in the intricacies of the technology."
The two radar displays are known as the Big Green-Eyed Monster (see pic, above) "because of their size and remarkable retro appearance". They can now be enjoyed "replaying historical recordings of flights in and out of London's Heathrow Airport". ®

The Robert Johnson Swizzle/
When this blog was still but an emptyish Google docs folder, my webmaster/husband, at one point needing to throw some dummy text into WordPress, cut and pasted a few grafs from a paper he'd presented at McGill University in March. He studies musicology, so next to a photo of the Autumn in New York, it read:
"The modern conception of the blues has come to be associated with two essential elements; a strict formal construction of twelve bars in common time divided into three four-bar phrases, and a cyclical repetition of that construct featuring melodic, textural and timbral variation. Blah, blah, blah." [Ed. note: "Blah, blah, blah" mine.]
We joked about how awesomely trippy it'd be to just make the blog nothing but photos of cocktails juxtaposed with chunks of musicological academia, and leave it up to the reader (of which there'd surely be even fewer than there are now; bless you (plural?) all!) to divine what the hell it all meant. There is one drink, however, which would've let the two appropriately coalesce: the Robert Johnson Swizzle, a cocktail invented at my own, personal Valhalla, Death & Co., and named after the father* of the Delta blues.
Defined by their combination of liquor, liqueur, fruit juice and crushed ice, their mixing via swizzle stick and their likeliness of being served in conical, Pilsner glass-like glassware (all the better to make use of the swizzle stick's length), swizzles fall under the (cocktail) umbrella of tiki drinks, but the Robert Johnson strikes me as one that can easily be enjoyed year-round. It's got port, which adds a palpable lick of curled-up-by-the-fireplace-ness, and overall the drink feels substantive and hefty, a little darker than typical cabana froth.
The ingredients listed here are fudged slightly from Death & Co.'s recipe, while the measurements are what I came up with to best replicate the cantaloupy color and tongue-fuzzying tartness of the original.
The Robert Johnson Swizzle
(adapted from Death & Co.)
1 1/4 ounces Buffalo Trace bourbon
3/4 ounces Otima 10 Year Tawny Port
3/4 ounces lemon juice
1/2 ounce vanilla syrup
3 or 4 dashes Fee Brothers Whiskey Barrel Aged Bitters
2 or 3 dashes Peychaud's bitters
Crushed ice
Lemon twist, to garnish
Fill cocktail shaker with cubed ice. Pour in all liquid ingredients and shake vigorously. Fill a glass (a Pilsner recommended) with crushed ice; strain contents of shaker over crushed ice into glass. Insert swizzle stick into glass, and "swizzle" vigorously by twisting the top of the swizzle stick fast between your palms, a la Mister Miyagi healing Daniel's leg. Garnish with lemon twist.
Tasting Notes:
Death & Co. employs Evan Williams Single Barrel bourbon for this drink. I used Buffalo Trace because, as I've mentioned before, it's pretty much our go-to bourbon around here. I did use Death & Co.'s chosen brand of port (by blind luck, I happened to pick that one out at the liquor store). Death & Co.'s menu doesn't note which brand of whiskey barrel-aged bitters the bar uses, however, I gotta believe it's Fee Brothers, which has pretty much become the industry standard.
We crushed our ice by hand -- wrapped in a kitchen towel, bludgeoned by a muddler -- which does the job but doesn't yield those puckish, featherweight ice nuggets (seen here forming a lovely summit) that you can get from a high-tech gizmo or even from a hand-cranked ice crusher. (Get a vintage one!)
More importantly, I tried this cocktail served regular on-the-rocks style, and it was not good! Or maybe it was too much of a good thing, but either way, the cocktail clearly needed the copious ice, the way it only allows for tiny sips at a time, to temper the otherwise outsized flavors.
Sean made the vanilla syrup using plain, old vanilla extract (actually, it's whiskey barrel-aged vanilla extract; sorry, we're just like that around here), sugar and water. He says a Google search of "vanilla syrup" will net you a perfectly fine how-to.
Death & Co.'s swizzle sticks are these nifty, wooden sinews with prongs sticking out the bottom end, which are meant to really agitate the liquid and bear a resemblance to Tinker Toys. Our closest at-home approximation were the Lorre family's heirloom iced tea straws. They are awfully neat, and I love the tactile sensation of drinking through a metal straw. (I'll get a pic up of them soon.) Because we don't have proper swizzle sticks, I decided to first shake the cocktail and then swizzle it in the glass.
*Robert Johnson, my husband has told me, was the Kurt Cobain of the Depression-era South: a guitarist of preternatural talent now renowned for his breathtakingly self-destructive life choices as much as his singular contributions to, if not whole creation of, an entirely distinct musical genre -- in Robert Johnson's case, the blues. He died at age 27 from causes unknown (there's some controversy as to whether or not he was poisoned, and if so, by which of his many enemies). Eric Clapton considers him to have been the most important blues musician of all time. I have no idea what any of this has to do with a swizzle drink.

Friends, shooty fun AND a blog meet, all in one weekend. What's not to like?
There was an assortment of fun things to play with.
I do OK, able to properly perforate a piece of paper or defend against a one eyed, one legged armed pirate (assuming Polly doesn't have a laser sight) or a zombie.
Tam ? Now Tam is just lethal.
The hand and arm were getting a bit tired after a box or two of .45 but I tried a few magazines in the new Karh .40. This is the target. The first five shots (it's a five round magazine) were all in a line through bullseye. The rest, not so good. as my hand was hurting at this point. This is not a "let's go plinking!" gun but those first shots from rapid, low ready would definately stop an assailant. The rest would at least get his attention.
A great morning, but soon there's a blogmeet, so it was time for a couple of Mr. Squishies and a drive past my pad to fetch something.
For I'm transporting a little surprise for Roberta X.

Unable to send mail through smtp.gmail.com
We are experiencing the same issue. We can be sure that the Gmail server settings and code is correct, as our production server (on different infrastructure, same domain) works fine and is currently sending emails. Only our development server which is hosted on Digital Ocean fails to send emails and gets the same message listed above.
Is it possible that the Digital Ocean subnet has been blacklisted by Gmail?
Any resolution for this issue?. Two of my earlier deployments work fine, but the newest one is giving this issue. Can't find a resolution
Same issue with my droplet. Anyone can help?
encountered the same issue. But solved after generating a new app password for Digital Ocean server from here https://security.google.com/settings/security/apppasswords and using it.
any update abount this error, i mean, at cakephp -> EmailTransport same description, but i have this error.
SMTP server did not accept the password. Cake\Network\Exception\SocketException

@omarg55 you need to turn on "Access for less secure apps" on the gmail account you are trying yo use
@cartocri it is ready "Access for less secure apps", but again warming SMTP server did not accept the password.
'EmailTransport' => [
'default' => [
'className' => 'Smtp',
// The following keys are used in SMTP transports
'host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
'port' => 465,
'timeout' => 30,
'username' => 'email@example.com',
'password' => 'xxx',
//'client' => null,
//'tls' => true,
Google now doesn't accept login from less secure apps. So you need to go to https://myaccount.google.com/security scroll to the bottom and turn ON "Allow less secure apps: ON". Now when you add the SMTP details to "Send as" google will accept them. You need to do this for the email ID you are adding in your Send as section.

Jolt Awards: Mobile Development Tools, March 04, 2014 The best tools for the nuts-and-bolts of building mobile apps.
Finalist: Sencha Touch 2.3.1
Sencha Touch provides a mobile application framework that allows you to work with HTML5 and CSS3 to develop mobile applications for Android, BlackBerry, iOS, Windows 8.x, Windows Phone, and Tizen. Sencha Touch does its best to take advantage of hardware acceleration in most of these devices, as well as exploit features of the latest OS versions. Thus, Sencha Touch-generated apps usually have good performance and are very responsive. This is how the framework adds value compared with the simple use of HTML5 and CSS3 to develop apps that can run in the different mobile Web browsers.
The framework includes a many useful UI controls, built-in icons, and themes. The combination of these visual resources with MVC support and the data package make it easy to move from a prototype to a live app. The framework comes with some well-organized examples that allow you to discover each different component and its features within your favorite Web browser. However, the number of complete sample apps isn't nearly enough for the most-demanding developers and doesn't do justice to the large number of controls.
Sencha Touch succeeds in making HTML5 apps look like native apps on mobile devices a significant achievement. Version 2.3 added full support for Apache Cordova and the Adobe PhoneGap Build; while this version, Sencha Touch 2.3.1, added Tizen as a new target mobile platform.

What do you think so far?
I'm all in.
A couple random thoughts
--The "Is this all there is?" motif in the premiere had some pretty obvious Sopranos call backs.. There's the episode, I can't recall which, where Tony says to Melfi: "...After all the bullshit, is this all there is?"
Also, one of the very first lines of "Soprano Home Movies" is Carmela saying to Tony (who's sleeping, of course) when the Feds are banging on the door: "Is this it?"
Chase (aka Mr. "It's All There") even says "is this all there is?" in the "Magic Moment" commentary for the DGA. I've always thought of this show as an extension, at least in tone, of The Sopranos--I mean, it premiered only month after "Made in America." End of era indeed.
-I watched the pilot again, and Joan says to Peggy, "He may act like he wants a secretary, but most of the the time they're looking for something between a mother and a waitress."
Hmm. Diana. Waitress. People say she looks like Don's step mom, but I haven't gone back and looked.
Either way, I don't think we've seen the last of her.
Oh, and I have a trivia question: who is-I think-the only actor(s?) to appear in The Sopranos, Mad Men and Boardwalk Empire?
Mad Men final 7 episodes#1
"When my time comes, tell me, will I stand up?"

Contains Sulphites.
A village and appellation in the Côte de Nuits, whose red wines are some of the most seductive in Burgundy offering a delicate balance between Vosne elegance and Gevrey-Chambertin power. There are two Grand Cru vineyards in the commune, the majority part of Bonnes Mares and the whole of Musigny. Next door to Musigny is one of Chambolle's most famous Premier Cru vineyards, Les Amoreuses, whose wines offer a combination of power, elegance and richness, less austere or intense than Musigny but very good nonetheless. The next most sought-after would be Charmes, that produces very opulent, ripe, seductive wines. The Premier Crus largely fall into two groups: The higher vineyards such as Veroilles, Cras and Fuees - these wines are usually the most ethereal, structured, high-toned and have the best acidities, they age extremely well; and the lower-lying vineyards beneath or adjacent to the Village which include Les Charmes, Beaux Bruns and Baudes, here the wines are richer, warmer and more generous in their youth than the higher vineyards but often without the same lift and definition. Chambolle is smaller than Gevrey or Vosne, so the "villages" wines, which can be very good value, are not always easy to find. The pre-eminent producers are: Mugnier, Barthod, Roumier, Comte de Vogue and Groffier.

IB stands for In Bond. Wines that are stored In Bond have not had UK Duty and VAT paid on them.
Most of our wines are available for purchase under bond, as fine wines often need to be laid down in order to allow them to mature. Many clients choose therefore to store them in our bonded warehouse and pay the tax as and when they wish to get the wines delivered. Please note that Wines purchased In Bond can be exported to non-EU countries without the need for Duty and VAT to be paid.
DP stands for duty paid. If you wish to get wines delivered for drinking, the duty and VAT will need to be paid as it leaves its bonded state in the warehouse. The wine is then said to be duty paid.
All taxes must be paid in order for us to be authorised to ship or deliver wine (unless the wine is bonded and being moved to another bonded warehouse or being shipped directly outside of the EU.)
EP stands for En Primeur. These wines are currently held with the Estate and Domaine's we work with and will be shipped in due course.

New Options Enhance MT8220A's Position as Industry-leading Test Tool for 3G/UMTS Services Providers
Anritsu Company introduces interference analyzer and channel scanner options for its MT8220A UMTS Master™ that expand the analysis capabilities of the ultra-portable handheld Node B analyzer. Covering the UMTS ranges of 824-894 MHz and 1710-2170 MHz, as well 2300-2700 MHz, the MT8220A functions as a spectrum analyzer with continuous frequency coverage up to 7.1 GHz, with best-in-class DANL (Displayed Average Noise Level) of typically –153 dBm at 1 GHz and built-in smart measurements for easy operation. The new options help make the MT8220A UMTS Master an excellent tool for 3G/UMTS service providers who need a truly portable test instrument for network installation, deployment, and maintenance.
The interference analyzer option, when combined with the UMTS Master's built-in, low-noise preamplifier, gives users the ability to identify and locate interfering signals down to -154 dBm, which have been traditionally difficult to accurately measure. The result is that technicians can better address quality issues that affect user service.
Service providers can realize three other key benefits with the interference analyzer:
Further helping technicians analyze today's complex wireless signals is the channel scanner option, which allows users to measure the power of up to 20 different transmitted signals. It is very useful for measuring channel power in AMPS, iDEN, GSM, TDMA, and HSDPA networks. A custom setup menu provides users with the flexibility to scan and view signal power in different downlink standards simultaneously.
The MT8220A can be used in the field to conduct all the necessary W-CDMA/HSDPA/GSM/EDGE RF measurements, including adjacent channel leakage power, occupied bandwidth and a spectral emission mask, for accurate analysis of a base station's output. Demodulation measurements, including EVM and Phase Error, are made to verify the quality of the signal. In addition, a Code Domain Power display for W-CDMA/HSDPA can display all 512 Orthogonal Variable Spreading Factor (OVSF) codes in the W-CDMA/HSDPA signal, relative to total power or pilot power. UMTS Master is handheld and weighs less than 3 kg (6.5 lbs)
Technicians can perform all measurements while remaining in their trucks, if the MT8220A is equipped with the Over the Air (OTA) option. Additionally, to help ensure health and safety, Anritsu has designed the MT8220A to support the European ECC (02) 04 recommendation for measuring non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation that provides a new concept in EMI testing.
About Anritsu Anritsu Company (www.us.anritsu.com) is the American subsidiary of Anritsu Corporation, a global provider of innovative communications test and measurement solutions for more than 110 years. With its recent acquisition of NetTest, Anritsu provides solutions for existing and next-generation wired and wireless communication systems and operators.

People often wonder why even the simplest of things seem to take long to implement. Often this is accompanied by uttering the phrase made famous by Jeremy Clarkson: how hard can it be.
Well let's find out. As an example let's look into a very simple case of creating a shared library that grabs a screen shot from a video file. The problem description is simplicity itself: open the file with GStreamer, seek to a random location and grab the pixels from the buffer. All in all, ten lines of code, should take a few hours to implement including unit tests.
Well, no. The very first problem is selecting a proper screenshot location. It can't be in the latter half of the video, for instance. The simple reason for this is that it may then contain spoilers and the mere task of displaying the image might ruin the video file for viewers. So let's instead select some suitable point, like 2/7:ths of the way in the video clip.
But in order to do that you need to first determine the length of the clip. Fortunately GStreamer provides functionality for this. Less fortunately some codec/muxer/platform/whatever combinations do not implement it. So now we have the problem of trying to determine a proper clip location for a file whose duration we don't know. In order to save time and effort let's just grab the screen shot at ten seconds in these cases.
The question now becomes what happens if the clip is less than ten seconds long? Then GStreamer would (probably) seek to the end of the file and grab a screenshot there. Videos often end in black so this might lead to black thumbnails every now and then. Come to think of it, that 2/7:th location might accidentally land on a fade so it might be all black, too. What we need is an image analyzer that detects whether the chosen frame is "interesting" or not.
This rabbit hole goes down quite deep so let's not go there and instead focus on the other part of the problem.
There are mutually incompatible versions of GStreamer currently in use: 0.10 and 1.0. These two can not be in the same process at the same time due interesting technical issues. No matter which we pick, some client application might be using the other one. So we can't actually link against GStreamer but instead we need to factor this functionality out to a separate executable. We also need to change the system's global security profile so that every app is allowed to execute this binary.
Having all this functionality we can just fork/exec the binary and wait for it to finish, right?
In theory yes, but multimedia codecs are tricky beasts, especially hardware accelerated ones on mobile platforms. They have a tendency to freeze at any time. So we need to write functionality that spawns the process, monitors its progress and then kills it if it is not making progress.
A question we have not asked is how does the helper process provide its output to the library? The simple solution is to write the image to a file in the file system. But the question then becomes where should it go? Different applications have different security policies and can access different parts of the file system, so we need a system state parser for that. Or we can do something fancier such as creating a socket pair connection between the library and the client executable and have the client push the results through that. Which means that process spawning just got more complicated and you need to define the serialization protocol for this ad-hoc network transfer.
I could go on but I think the point has been made abundantly clear.

WSOP Fantasy News and Reviews27 May 2011
We got 15 players to put up $25,000 each for this years WSOP Fantasy Auction Draft at Aria Casino. Aria hooked us up big time, with a full bar and an excellent room for the draft, complete with a projector screen. The draft works like this: each team gets 200 to spend on 8 players. A player is nominated, then goes to the highest bidder. So if you want Phil Ivey, you would have had to spend 108 of your 200 bankroll to get him, leaving you just 92 left to fill out the rest of your team. Here is a look at the teams, with comments:
Team #1 Joe Cassidy/Huck Seed
1: Tom Dwan 62
2: Vladimir Schemelev 33
3: Alexander Kostritsyn 58
4: Jennifer Harman 19
5: Sam Trickett 7
6: David Pham 1
7: Vitaly Lunkin 10
8: David Bach 1
Comments: Best value here may be David Bach who is set to play a full schedule of mixed game events, and also is a previous winner of the $50,0000 Players Championship. Sam Trickett is a no limit specialist, and 7 seems like a bit of a steep price for a specialist, but he is a good one. This team will rely heavily on a big series from Dwan, a repeat performance from Schmelev, and the always dangerous Kostritsyn. With Harman it's always a question of number of events played, if she plays 12+ then 19 is a fair price.
Team #2 Barry Greenstein
1: Barry Greenstein 64
2: Phil Ivey 108
3: Chau Giang 19
4: John Pham 2
5: Ralph Perry 3
6: Ted Forrest 1
7: Joseph Serock 1
8: Jimmy Fricke 1
Comments: Go big or go home! Barry chose to draft the most valuable player in the draft, Phil Ivey, to complement his own full schedule of events then fill the team with whoever he could get really. best value could be Jimmy Fricke as he's been playing mixed games more and will likely play a full schedule. Chau Giang at 19 seems a bit high as he is hit or miss in terms of events played. Ralph Perry and Ted Forrest are both potential superstars, but will they play?
Team #3 Robert Mizrachi, Greg Meuller, Jared Bleznick, "Crazy" Mike
1. Daniel Alaei 80
2: Robert Mizrachi 51
3: Josh Arieh 26
4: Hoyt Corkins 5
5: Chad Brown 24
6: Marco Traniëllo 1
7: David Baker 5
8: Lee Goldman 1
Comments: Danny Alaei is a stud and his stock rose this year as the third highest paid player in the draft. Young, but a veteran who plays all the games well and puts up consistent results at the WSOP. The Hoyt Corkins pick was an accident, as Bleznick just yelled out "5" after Todd Brunson threw him out for 1. In a pool like this, the right price for Corkins was 1. Arguably the best value in the draft is David Baker at 5. An absolute steal there.
Team #4 Justin "BoostedJ" Smith, Ashton Griffin
1. Justin "BoostedJ" Smith 64
2: Huck Seed 50
3: Ali Eslami 35
4: David Chiu 32
5: Farzad Bonyadi 3
6: Amnon Filippi 1
7: Eli Elezra 4
8: Mike "SirWatts" Watson 10
Comments: A very strong team from top to bottom that will contend. David Chiu is a consistent performer and is a bargain at 32. Ali Eslami at 35 is a bit of a misstep in terms of value, he could have gone cheaper later in the draft and I don't think he warrants a bigger price tag than Chiu who's a proven workhorse. BoostedJ couldn't pass up on himself at 64, which was a bit of a trend with a few teams betting on themselves.
Team #5 Eugene Katchalov, Danny Alaei
1: Eugene Katchalov 72
2: Steve Sung 6
3: Matt Hawrlenko 32
4: Nikolai Evdakov 12
5: Pat Pezzin 14
6: Mikael Thuritz 28
7: Ville Wallbeck 15
8: Abe Mosseri 21
Comments: These guys came in prepared for the draft after having done their homework. if Wallbeck is playing a full slate of events this year, he's a steal at 15. Hawrilenko and Thuritz are question marks, not based on skill, but based on the number of events they'll actually play. Same goes for Mosseri. If Abe played a full slate of tournaments he'd go for close to 100, but he rarely plays more than 5 or 6. Another solid team.
Team #6 Casey Katz
1: Erik Seidel 43
2: John Juanda 53
3: Michael Mizrachi 50
4: Carlos Mortensen 19
5: Annette Obrestad 1
6: Jason Somerville 1
7: David Singer 20
8: Eric Baldwin 13
Comments: Lots of big names on this team, but it could be the wrong year for that. Juanda is normally a top 3 pick, but has said via twitter that he will be playing a reduced schedule this year. Same goes for Seidel, who tweeted not to pick him, because he'd be playing a lot of non-holdem events. If David Singer plays a full slate of events, he could be the teams best value.
Team #7 Scott Seiver, Justin Bonomo, Eric Froelich
1: Matt Glantz 58
2: Sorrel Mizzi 40
3: Justin Bonomo 43
4: Christian "charder30" Harder 5
5: Jon "PearlJammed" Turner 13
6: Andrew Brown 9
7: John Monnette 11
8: Greg Mueller 21
Comments: Another very strong team from top to bottom. Matt Glantz is a mixed game specialist and should play a full slate, but seems slightly overpriced here. If John Monnette decides to play a lot of tournaments in favor of cash games, that's great value at 11.
Team #8 Jason Mercier, Jason Somerville
1: Michael Binger 45
2: Dan "djk123" Kelly 36
3: Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier 18
4: David Oppenheim 6
5: Allen Bari 36
6: David "Bakes" Baker 40
7: Ben Lamb 15
8: Bryn Kenney 4
Comments: Not a big fan of this team. Oppenheim does not like/play tournaments really and won't play 5. Elky is a NLH specialist and 18 is too much for a one dimensional player. Best pick on the team is David "Bakes" Baker who probably should have gone for 50+. He plays all the games and is very hungry.
Team #9 James Bord, Toby Lewis
1: Nick Schulman 64
2: Scott Clements 45
3: Shaun Deeb 38
4: Luke Schwartz 1
5: Richard Ashby 28
6: Andy Bloch 6
7: Anthony Lellouche 1
8: James Bord 1
Comments: Nick Schulman is a great, versatile player, but has he EVER played a full slate of WSOP events? No. At 64, unless he decides that "this is the year" then 64 was too heavy for a part time player. Having said that, I think this team got great value with Clements 45, Deeb 38, and awesome value with Bloch at 6 who has money, and should play. As for the $1 players, Schwartz, Lellouche, and Bord, do they play mixed games? If not, they could have done better.
Team #10 Daniel Negreanu
1: Scott Seiver 73
2: Jason Mercier 74
3: Yuval Bronstein 18
4: Yueqi Zhu 5
5: Mike Matusow 12
6: Roland De Wolfe 1
7: Gavin Smith 1
8: Steve "MrSmokey1" Billirakis 16
Comments: Where do I start ugh. I do not like my team and made some crucial drafting errors that I shouldn't have made. My team should include David Baker as well as David Chiu, but I blew it in both spots then the pool of players dried up. I also pumped the price of Jason Mercier. I was bidding against him and thought he'd go up to 78-80, so I bid 74 and was shutting down at 75. He passed surprisingly, and I was "stuck with him." Luckily he doesn't suck, but after getting Seiver at 73, I couldn't really afford another top 10 guy (both are top 10 WSOP fantasy players for sure).
I'm fine with the Bronstein pick for 18. He'll be playing all of the mixed game tournaments every day and is a solid horse for that price.
Yueqi Zhu is my sleeper who I thought I'd get for 1. Unfortunately Barry Greenstein also knew about Zhu and bid me up to 5. If people knew what I knew, he would be a 45-50 player. He has 27 WSOP cashes, is great at all the games, and for the first time ever will be playing a full slate of tournaments. 4 WSOP cashes last year including a 3rd in Omaha H/L, his best game. He's better known as "Richard" or "YZ" and he's a steal I promise. Great player.
Mike Matusow for 12. Guy has a lot of heart. Issue here? Which Matusow shows up? The one with his head on straight...or the other one? I'm hoping for the sane Mikey.
Roland deWolfe. I threw him out for 1 and no one bit. I thought they would and didn't plan on having him on my team as he'll miss the first two weeks of the series. I've been begging him to come early, we'll see how that works out!
Gavin Smith for 1? I was a bit surprised by this one. I think Gavin is a good horse who will be in events every single day and he plays all the games. I let Gavin know he went for 1 and that lit a fire under his butt, so I'm hoping he crushes to prove a point.
Steve Billirakis. Where is this guy??? I can't find him! I had 16 left for one pick, and absolute cardinal sin when doing auction drafts. I let Baker and Chiu slip then there wasn't a lot of guys left so I took a shot with Smokey, who I know to be a great all around player, but where the heck is he??? I can't get a hold of him, and have no idea what his WSOP plans are.
My strong suit is auction drafts, but I really blew this one. Not that I can't win, but I didn't not put together the best, and most balanced team.
Team #11 Frank Kassela, Shaun Deeb
1. Daniel Negreanu 89
2: Frank Kassela 41
3: Dwyte Pilgrim 10
4: Alan Cunningham 25
5: Victor Ramdin 1
6: Rob Hollink 17
7: Thomas Koral 1
8: Dario Minieri 16
Comments: Looks like this team will depend heavily on me performing the way I expect to. Best value pick here could either be Rob Hollink or Allen Cunningham. Word on the street is that Allen won't play a lot of events, but that could change, and if it does, you have a top mixed game player for a bargain price. Dario Minieri is also overpriced as their last player, another drafting error leaving 16 left. Dwight Pilgram at 10? That's definitely overpriced for a NLH guy, especially when you had so many options for players like that. Kassela showed faith in himself, the WSOP POY big 41 on himself after a 2 WSOP bracelet performance last year.
Team #12 Erick Lingdren, David Oppenhiem
1: Erick Lindgren 61
2: David Benyamine 58
3: Shawn Buchanan 63
4: Eric Froehlich 6
5: Shannon Shorr 1
6: Kirill Gerasimov 1
7: George "Jorj95" Lind III 9
8: Brian Hastings 1
Comments: Depending who you ask, this is one of the best teams, or one of the absolute worst teams. They'll depend heavily on their big three, Lindgren, Benyamine, and Buchanen. Benyamine is guaranteed to play lots of events this year as he made some prop bets on himself which makes him an elite horse. Edog will also be out in full force coming off a 2nd in the High Roller at Bellagio. Shaun Buchanen was a $1 player last year, and went for 63 this year. I think that's a bit high. As far as I know Froehlich is also a NLH specialist, so 6 doesn't make much sense. Hastings could be a steal if he chooses to grind the tournaments this month, he plays all the games well.
Team #13 Todd Brunson
1. Todd Brunson 40
2: Scotty Nguyen 35
3: Phil Hellmuth 38
4: Freddy Deeb 23
5: Allan Kessler 41
6: Chris Feguson 4
7: Minh Ly 1
8: Shun Uchida 1
Comments: Otherwise known as "Team Old School." Allen Kessler might be the youngest player on the team! Freddie Deeb could be great value at 23, but Todd Brunson rarely wakes up in time for tournaments, so will be interesting to see if he plays more events. Hellmuth for 38 is really high for a NLH specialist that seems more interested in his new "inside to out golf swing" and dropping as many names as humanly possible. Hellmuth has 11 bracelets in hold'em, and zero in any other form of poker over a 20+ year span. Ferguson at 4 could be a steal if he decides to attend the WSOP.
Team #14 Mori Eskandani
1: Jeffrey Lisandro 50
2: Chris Bjorin 38
3: Men "The Master" Nguyen 27
4: Dan Heimiller 21
5: Tom Marchese 10
6: David Williams 14
7: Vanessa Selbst 5
8: Phil Galfond 35
Comments: Last year I think Mori drafted Johnny Chan, Doyle Brunson Phil Hellmuth, Patrik Antonius, and Gus Hansen. Needless to say, he didn't win. This year Mori did much better, mixing in some young blood. His best pick: David Williams at 14. David has a chip on his shoulder this year about not getting his WSOP Grudge Match chosen, and plans on playing every tournament. Great value. A huge mistake, leaving 35 left for one player late, and Galfond was NOT the right player as he just doesn't play enough events. Heimiller, Bjorin, and Lisandro, the old guard on this team will have to carry the load and hope that Men "The Master" Nguyen can return to form.
Team #15 Vladimir Schmelev
1. Sebastien Sabic 40
2: Joe Cassidy 43
3: Brett Richey 37
4: Patrik Antonius 5
5: Jared Bleznick 8
6: "Crazy" Marco Johnson 43
7: Alex Kravchenko 21
8: Sergey "gipsy74" Rybachenko 1
Comments: Schmelev was a late addition to the draft and missed out on a lot of the big guns. He threw out a name I didn't know, Sebastian Sabic who went for 40, so obviously others did and said he's a great online mixed game player. We'll see. Not a lot of bright spots on this team, Sabic may be the best value, but again, I don't know him. Cassidy doesn't play enough events, Bleznick is a cash player with $18,000 in tournament cashes to his name, and Antonius "might" come out for the main event. When Schmelev got stuck with Patrik and Gypsy, while he doesn't speak English, he made it very clear how he felt about those decisions by slapping his forehead in disgust!
So there you have the 15 teams. I also did the ESPN draft with the media guys and a few other players, and in that draft, you'd have to be blind to not see how clear it is that I drafted the best team:
1. Erick Lindgren
2. Danny Alaei
3. Scott Seiver
4. David Benyamine
5. Justin "BoostedJ" Smith
6. Mikael Thuritz
7. Yuval Bronstien
8. Yueqi Zhu
For a frame of reference, that team would have cost 387!!! Anything can happen obviously, but this draft was just absurdly unbalanced. There is a lesson to be learned from this actually. If you look at what the "insiders" (the players) know about the relative skill of their peers, and compare it to the perception from many in the media, you see a major discrepancy. The biggest mistake those drafters make is not understanding the point structure. You get double points for 10k events, and final tables are worth lots of points. So, if you had a choice between drafting Tom Marchese and David Chiu, it's a no brainer. Chiu plays all the mixed games well, while Tom is, at this point, a no limit specialist. My ESPN team has ZERO NLH specialists, and 8 guys who will play lots of the 10k buy in mixed events.
Let's see how you guys do next year!

It is a celebrated result of John Dixon, (The probability of generating the symmetric group, (subscription) Math. Z. 110 (1969), 199–205.) that if one choose two random permutations in the symmetric group , uniformly (i.e. each with probability ), and independently, the probability that the two permutations generate the whole group tends to as . It is clear that this probability will never be greater than , since there is a probability that the two permutations will both be even, in which case you could only generate, at most, the alternating group. Interestingly enough, Dixon's paper covers this possibility, and he actually shows that the probability that two permutations generate the alternating group tends to as .
Equivalently, if two random elements of the alternating group are chosen uniformly and randomly, the probability that they generate the group tends to as . This leads me to my question — what is the probability that the -regular Cayley graph with generators is not Hamiltonian, as ?
Showing that this probability is bounded away from would provide a counterexample for a notorious problem about vertex-transitive graphs. So we might expect that this is hard. But is it even possible that it is true, or is there some obvious reason that such graphs will tend to be Hamiltonian?
Another approach in the same spirit would be computational rather than asymptotic. Suppose we look at thousands of random Cayley graphs on the alternating groups and , for example. It is straightforward to check that they are connected. Is it within reach for a cleverly designed algorithm on modern computers to conclusively rule out Hamiltonicity for a -regular graph on or vertices? I would also be happy with a computer-aided proof that the conjecture is false.
Historical note: It is called the Lovász conjecture, even though he just asked the question (and perhaps conjectured the other way). I am under the impression that some prominent people in this field have felt that the answer should be no. In particular Babai does not believe it.

Despite many commendable efforts and individual successes with safety
over time, accidents continue to increase in the tree care industry.
This hurts our ability to recruit and retain employees, reduces consumer
confidence in our abilities, and shrinks our profits when accidents and
injuries raise our costs of doing business.
Certified Treecare Safety Professional (CTSP) program is the only safety credentialing program in the industry and is designed to
address several of the safety challenges that tree care companies face.
More than a straightforward "safety trainer" credentialing program,
CTSP teaches safety professionals strategies and tactics for changing
the very culture of their organization. A CTSP acts as a safety "coach,"
working to develop and nurture a culture of safety. The program
provides the CTSP with a well-rounded education in safety concepts, plus
the tools to effectively communicate these concepts.
To move forward and become safer, we need to move beyond standards
and requirements and towards an industry-wide commitment to a culture of
safety. Through CTSP, a culture of safety can be developed one company
and one individual at a time, and as this happens, our industry will be
transformed from what it is today.
A CTSP does more than simply educate his/her team in safe work practices.
Learn about the benefits to both employers and the CTSP
Enrollment in the CTSP program requires completion of critical thinking exercise, workshop attendance and an exam.

House Archive Boxes
by Gina Angie on 08/15/2012 | 2 Minute Read
These boxes were made in the USA from recycled corrugated cardboard and designed for contemporary living areas and workspaces.
"House Industries introduces the House Archive Box, a new twist on an old idea that brings the foldable storage box out of the closet or storage facility and into contemporary living areas and workspaces.
House Industries designers completely re-imagined the classic corrugated document storage box, spending endless hours tweaking die designs to arrive at a bulletproof yet beautiful storage solution. With secure locking seams, robust construction, smooth tops, stackable flat bottoms and crisp artwork, House Archive boxes are designed to provide practical and affordable storage while working as complementary interior furnishings.
The first edition of the Archive Box features three different versions: a pattern based on House's Neutraface Slab typeface, huge high-contrast numbers from Photo-Lettering's Benguiat Montage alphabet and a typographic brace motif. Keeping with House Industries tradition, no expense was spared to reproduce the three distinctive designs.
"We sweated every detail so the boxes would be inexpensive enough to keep on hand for hoarding emergencies but beautiful enough to mix it up in your carefully curated interior space," said House Industries founder Andy Cruz. "They're also a great canvas for our huge alphabet library, new artwork and future artist collaborations."
Each set of three boxes sell for $38. The House Archive Boxes are available from House Industries and from select retailers worldwide."

3-D effects may require one eye only
Peering through a peephole can bring flat images to life
Illustration: E. Otwell; photo inset: Ogphoto/iStockphoto
Rather than donning special glasses and paying extra to see a movie in 3-D, try sitting through a regular showing with one eye closed. A new study suggests that viewers can see flat images in three dimensions by peering through a small hole with just one eye, though its methods have drawn criticism.
Researchers have long thought that the immersive effects of a 3-D movie result from binocular vision. As far back as the 1830s, scientists knew that a picture could spring to life when presented as two separate images, one for each eye. The prevailing view is that this 3-D effect occurs when the brain merges the two slightly disparate images into one. Modern 3-D movies continue to capitalize on this phenomenon.
Scientists had previously reported 3-D vision using only one eye, but those findings were largely dismissed partly because the researchers themselves were the test subjects who saw the 3-D effect, says Dhanraj Vishwanath of the University of St. Andrews in Scotland.
To better test whether monocular vision can yield a 3-D experience, Vishwanath and St. Andrews colleague Paul Hibbard presented 23 people with photographs depicting different objects or scenes. Twenty participants reported seeing a photo in three dimensions when peering through a pea-sized hole with only one eye, the researchers reportin the September Psychological Science.
Participants saw in 3-D only when the hole prevented them from seeing the edges of the picture. Vishwanath speculates that when viewing an entire picture with both eyes, the brain combines the eyes' images to compute the distance between the observer and the flat surface of the picture. But when the eye can see only objects within the picture, the brain might instead try to figure out the distance between the pictured objects and the observer. This could create a 3-D effect, Vishwanath says.
Not everyone is convinced. "All of the experiments asked only subjective questions about perceived depth," says Richard Born, a neuroscientist at Harvard Medical School who studies the visual cortex.
Lloyd Kaufman, a cognitive scientist who studies visual perception at New York University, agrees. He says quantitative measurements are needed to convince him a one-eyed 3-D effect is as strong as that achieved from two eyes.
But Vishwanath says that the 3-D effect is itself a qualitative phenomenon, and so it could not have been assessed in any other way. He says that researchers' reluctance to ask observers what they see has hampered understanding of the phenomenon. Vishwanath and colleagues are now testing the monocular 3-D effect in people with a condition called strabismus in which the eyes don't align properly and thus don't form binocular 3-D images.
