HexPak and GradPak: Variable-Scale Dual-Head IFUs for the WIYN 3.5m Telescope Bench Spectrograph
|Conference Paper
|Corey Wood, M. A. Bershady, A. Eigenbrot, S. A. Buckley, J. S. Gallagher, E. Hooper, A. Sheinis, M. P. Smith, M. J. Wolf
|Conference Name
|American Astronomical Society Meeting Abstracts, #221, #345.06
|January 1, 2013
|Short Title
|HexPak and GradPak
|Library Catalog
|We present two new fiber integral field units (IFUs) -- HexPak and GradPak -- for the WIYN 3.5m Telescope Nasmyth focus and Bench Spectrograph. We describe their design, construction, and laboratory performance. These are the first IFUs to provide formatted fiber integral field spectroscopy with simultaneous sampling of varying angular scales. HexPak and GradPak are in a single cable with a dual-head design, permitting easy switching between the two different IFU heads on the telescope. Switching between the two heads requires no change to the spectrograph: the two heads feed a shared variable-width double-slit. Each IFU head is comprised of a fixed arrangement of fibers with a range of fiber diameters. The layout and diameters of the fibers within each array are scientifically-driven for observations of galaxies: HexPak is designed to observe face-on spiral or spheroidal galaxies while GradPak is optimized for edge-on studies of galaxy disks. HexPak is a hexagonal array of 2.8 arcsec fibers subtending a 40.9 arcsec diameter, with a high-resolution circular core of 0.94 arcsec fibers subtending 6 arcsec diameter. GradPak is a 39 by 55 arcsec rectangular array with rows of fibers of increasing diameter from angular scales from 1.9 arcsec to 5.6 arcsec across the array. The varying fiber diameters of these IFU heads allows for adequate sampling of light profile gradients while maintaining the photon limit at different scales. We report laboratory tests of the throughput and focal ratio degradation properties of each IFU.

How Does Music Influence People's Behavior?
It's not obvious how music influences the person. Some experts insist that music and musicians influence youthful people. Other sources insist that particular individuals react to particular kinds of music and musical expression. In either case, today's youth can easily see how their most favorite musicians dress and behave, in public as well as in private, through the multiple media sources that are constantly monitoring the earth's celebrities. Youthful people may then want to change their very own appearance and behavior to mirror the music performer and musical style they most recognize.
Two separate, but related, theories let you know that individuals connect with and go to town through music. Social identity theory signifies that individuals "borrow" their identity in the society that they live. People adopting of the group identity through music is really a method for that individual to adapt towards the ideals, goals, and norms from the society in general. The alternative of social identity theory states that a lot of people want to behave in a fashion that is unlike societal norms. These folks choose to adopt their very own style and stand out from everybody else. This really is known as personal identity theory. These theories are interrelated because, despite the fact that personal identity theory identifies the person facets of expression, the individual continues to be identifying as part of a sub-group.
Youthful people are more inclined to sign up for different types of identification through music especially individuals forms that my not comply with the bigger society. As youthful people undertake the adolescent many into youthful their adult years, they are more inclined to explore and test out their very own identity through music than seniors, who've likely settled into one genre they recognize. Searching at music in this manner causes it to be simpler to determine the way it happens to be, and stays, a socializing agent a means for youthful individuals to explore their independence because they escape from the authority of the parents.
This angle on music can hide the influence that music is wearing children. The background music of history century has performed a huge role within the lives of youthful adults, yet music might be getting a growing impact on people who are even more youthful. Keep in mind that music happens to be a fundamental part of every society. Youngsters are socialized through songs which are distributed to them at many ages. Children's songs is often as simple as songs that educate fundamental information, for example ABC's and 123′s, plus they can educate social skills and acceptable behavior (think Sesame Street and Barney). Still, children have the same music that youthful adults get access to and often this music isn't age-appropriate. This phenomenon has ushered within the debates if contact with certain musical influences is getting a dangerous impact on the country's youth.
Interestingly, one study finds that females are more inclined to be affected by music than males, although both genders find expression through music satisfying. This can be because females are usually socialized as people of the societal group and men're typically asked to be self-sufficient. The study's authors think that the socialization process makes females weaker to musical influences than males.

DEEP RUN � A Deep Run couple alleges their neighbor killed three of their cats, with the latest feline victim placed on display in a tree.
DEEP RUN � A Deep Run couple alleges their neighbor killed three of their cats, with the latest feline victim placed on display in a tree.
Wednesday afternoon, Roy Perry told the responding Lenoir County Sheriff�s Office deputy that his neighbor, Kevin Dawson, �shot his cat and then hung him by his tail in the woods,� according to an LCSO report. Perry said he found the gray and white cat hanging in a tree with a piece of wire around its tail. He then took it out of the tree and into his yard for law enforcement to examine.
According to the report, Dawson admitted to shooting the cat.
�He stated the cat was walking across his back yard from a scrap food pile and he shot him with an air rifle,� the report says.
Dawson went on to tell the deputy he�d killed six cats in the past month, throwing the bodies into the woods afterward. He added he�d caught several cats in a trap and shot them all in the head with the air rifle before throwing their bodies in the woods as well, but the gray and white cat was the only one he�d hung in a tree.
Perry and his wife Kay told the deputy Dawson told them he�d killed three of their cats, but they were only able to locate the gray and white one. The report says the Perrys told the deputy Dawson lived next door to them for six months and regularly shot cats and possums.
�In this particular case, you have a neighbor who, if he�s found guilty, can potentially face time in prison,� LCSO Chief Deputy Chris Hill said. �But do we receive complaints about other pets or farm animals or whatever passing over a neighbor�s land from time to time? Yes, but there�s not really a lot you can do about it.�
Hill said pets and livestock crossing over into neighbor�s land is part of life in the county, but animal owners are accountable for their animals� movements, like when a dog escapes and bites a child.
�But, that does not give anybody the right to take that animal�s life unless it endangers another person,� Hill said. �That�s why we have cruelty to animal laws.�
The case remains under investigation.

|Seagate's hybrid Momentus XT 750-GB: Almost an SSD, almost a
In September I wrote about the joy of installing a Solid State Drive in my 13-inch MacBook Pro. The Mercury Extreme Pro 3G SSD with a capacity of 240 GB dramatically improved the speed of my notebook, but it's not cheap. Other World Computing's currently selling it for $360, which is about $35 less than when I wrote about it.
Price is a big issue with SSDs. Another is capacity – that 240-GB SSD replaced a 320-GB traditional hard drive in MacBook Pro. Right now, you can buy a version of the Hitachi drive that came with my computer for under $90, though it would probably be less if not for Thai flooding that damaged many factories earlier this year. (By the way, hard disk prices are starting to recede.)
SSDs won't gain mass acceptance until pricing comes down and capacity goes up. But there is an alternative that's more affordable and provides almost the same performance – hybrid hard drives, which combine a small SSD with a disk-based drive. You get higher capacity and better performance at a fraction of the price of a pure SSD.
I've been testing Seagate's 750-GB Momentus XT drive in my MacBook Pro. It includes a built-in, 8-GB SSD and a 7,200 RPM, 750-GB hard disk. The drive includes firmware that pulls frequently used data into the SSD, ready to be called up quickly when needed. It's a similar concept to ReadyBoost, the Windows 7/Vista feature that uses a USB thumb drive or memory card to speed up your PC.
In my tests, the Momentus XT was not quite as fast as an SSD, but was much faster than my original hard drive. It is a lot cheaper than an SSD – Amazon is currently selling it for $240. It has a list price of $350. It's still significant more expensive than a traditional hard drive – 750-GB notebook drives start at under $100.
The Momentus XT installs like any other notebook drive, and will work in Macs or Windows PCs. After the initial setup, you'll not see a big performance boost. But as you use the drive, it learns what data it needs to pull into its flash memory, and over time it becomes much faster.
For example, the SSD gave me a boot time of about 11 seconds. After just a couple of reboots with the Momentus XT, my MacBook Pro's boot time was 15 seconds. Word 2011, notorious for taking a long time to launch, started up in 5 seconds on the SSD, and 6 seconds with the hybrid drive. Photoshop CS3 started in 5 seconds on the SSD, and 7 seconds on the Momentus XT.
I also saw great results with Windows 7 virtual machines running in Parallels 7. As with the SSD, the Momentus XT makes running Windows virtually as snappy as though it was running natively. It takes a little bit longer to resume from being suspended than the SSD, but only by a few seconds.
This is the second version of Seagate's hybrid line. The original Momentus XT had problems with lockups and slowdowns over time that were eventually addressed with firmware upgrades. While I've had no problems at all, if you're concerned it might be worth keeping an eye on Seagate's customer forums for recurring issues. At the moment, though, I'd put my full confidence in this drive (so long as my Time Machine backups are up to date!).
The big question: Is this drive worth the premium you'll pay over a traditional hard drive? If you've got the money to burn, I'd say yes. There's also a 500-GB version that sells for $170 on Amazon, and that seems like a better deal. Traditional 500-GB notebook drives are starting now at under $100, making the premium for the smaller Momentus XT less painful.
Update: One thing I forgot to mention . . .
While the drive is very quiet, I can feel vibrations caused by its spinning when I have my hands on the notebook. My previous, traditional drive didn't so this. It doesn't seem to affect performance, and after a while I don't notice the vibration, but I'd be curious if any other users of this drive have experienced this.

Europe Woes Deepen as Economies Contract
Slump in Euro Zone's South Infects Germany and France, Jarring Hopes for a Return to Growth; 'So Many False Dawns'
FRANKFURT—The euro zone's economy shrank last quarter at the fastest pace since the height of the world recession in early 2009, as a worsening slump in Italy and other southern European countries infected the bloc's core economies of Germany and France.
The 2.3% drop in euro-zone gross domestic product in the fourth quarter, at an annualized pace, suggests that Europe's economic and financial crisis is far from over. The region's deepening malaise challenges European authorities' insistence that fiscal austerity will lead...

On Wednesday 10 and Thursday 11 January 2018 Open Days will be held at VDL Bus & Coach España S.L. in Madrid. The new VDL Bus & Coach branch in Madrid, Spain will be officially opened during these Open Days. VDL Bus & Coach will exhibit various versions of the Futura range, namely the FDD2-141, FHD2-129, FHD2-106 and FMD2-135.
The Futura is distinguished by its exceptionally low kerb weight, excellent fuel economy, high passenger capacity, spacious luggage compartment and low per-kilometre cost. The VDL Futura FDD2-141 is a double-deck version with seating for 74+1+1, lower-deck headroom of 1.86 metres and an expanded viewing angle for the driver.
The VDL Futura FHD2-106 has seating for 40+1+1. VDL Bus & Coach has designed this version for the VIP segment: smaller groups who prefer to travel in ultimate luxury and comfort. The same versions of both buses were also shown at Busworld in October. The VDL Futura will also be exhibited in the 12.9-metre length. This 12.9-metre version will be shown with two different seating arrangements, namely: 57/59+1+1 with removable toilet and 57+1+1 with compact toilet.
The VDL Futura FMD2-135 is a 13.5-metre version with seating for 59+1+1 and has the maximum length that is allowed on two axles.
It was recently announced that VDL Bus & Coach has taken the decision to also open a branch in Spain. This decision is the logical continuation of the strategy VDL has chosen to pursue that involves establishing a direct presence of the buses & coaches division in most of the major Western European bus markets. The Spanish bus market is Europe's fourth bus and coach market and second coach market and is therefore on the rise. VDL Bus & Coach España S.L. is headed by Anno Dirksen. Anno has been managing director of VDL Bus & Coach Italia s.r.l. for the past nine years.

how darling is he in his pinstripe suit? i love the fit and the red tie. scrumptious!
Amazing look.
Rather 1930s Argentine playboy goes to London. Very nice.
Wow! You didn!t take the shoes, but I am pretty sure, they are very carefully shined (or brand new).
Somehow it doesn!t look like his everyday look, perhaps everything on him are brand new. What do you think?
Every thing's perfect.
Tie dimple – check
Nice combination of suit and tie – check
But one thing missing is shirt cuff,
but anyway thats not the point. Its about the d-b vest. I don't know I don't think I would wear it though but I think it would look good on an elderly gent.
Classic Anderson & Shepperd double breasted silouette here. Get the hands out of the pockets, button the jacket and it would be superb.
Not a fan of this one. I really don't like that strong stripe, nore the white pocket square. It's just too gangster referenced and not in a good way either.
It does look gangsterish, but I like it because everything is so perfectly fitted. I love the double breasted vest, but I am not crazy about the pleats.
I thinks there's too much of everything in this picture, too many pleats, fabric, lapels, pointy shirt collar…
Seems more like someone who's going to a 1940ies inspired party or a tango session then an outfit for work.
I would suggest to change tailors for getting a new approach to the same theme, cause I do think wearing the right 3-piece can be a very 2008 look. Try RL Purple Label, Mark Powell or any other tailor on the Row.
This is not gangsterish – this is just City Wideboy pinstripe. Those guys in finance love their broad chalk stripes…
Looks great, but I'm pretty sure this guy is a tailor or works in one of the tailors on the Row (Saville Row, that is).
Normally not a fan of three-piece suits, but This One could be wearing sweats and would still be hot. Woof! Jorge from West Palm Beach
He works on Savile Row, Gieves&Hawkes I guess
He was in the BBC Savile Row series. I think he is a cutter at Anderson & Sheppard and those are his work clothes.
Love the tie.
Interesting that the lapels of the waistcoat seem to be cut and sewn on (otherwise, they would be angled to the vertical).
This guy works at A&S.
Fabulous – I love the way the traditional/conservative pinstripes and the waistcoat are being updated. The striping on the lapel makes the look & the shirtsleeves peeking out area nice touch.
just a little shady in just the best way.
i've always had a problem with DB waistcoats… i'm not a fan of the way the trouser pleats emerge from the taught horizontal of the waistcoat. it reduces the height of what should be high-waisted trousers and makes them look wrong.
I love it!
The polkadot tie is just charming, and the fit of the suit is
I personally think you need a certain body type to pull off the DB Vest Suit, and oooh boy what I would do to see this guys!
This guy works for A&S dont know his name or what he does but love the suit. He always look's very good as you would imagine for someone who works for one of the best tailors in the world.
Sart. can we have some profiles of the guys that work on the row.
I also like his close cropped ahir with sideburns.
What a pity the pockets aren't visible they are diagnostic for A&S see link:
I love this one! Not only the fit is perfect, that humorous mix of dots and diplomatic stripes is brilliant and I also love the contrast between that red and that black, softened with white shirt in tone with the white hankie. It¡s kind of daring in it's formality, but that is what I like. Only a dark strong looking man like him could make this work so greatly.
Fierce. Lovin' it. He nails it. the look works totally 100% from head to err..knee.
Incredibly well spotted, Sart – you don't see many DB waistcoats(local lingo) even on Savile Row…
Immaculate. For a guy going against the modern grain, He's awesome. Giving the Row a little Sicilian retrospective. Let's see the pinky finger.
Good God, this man is fine. I really need to fly to London. I would marry him.
*digs out credit card to book flight*
I agree with Diana–there is something not quite natural about all this. Also, don't care for the tie/shirt collar combo. I don't understand why men make this choice.
It's a pretty basic collar/tie combo. I think this dressy look really needs a spread collar, tho. As it is, the shirt looks too casual.
Notice how the stripes on the lapels align with the stripes on the vest? That detail is too shticky for me…
But I love double breasted vests!
I really like the geometry of the peak lapel and the large-ish point collar. Like a set of jaws, or something. If he'd been wearing, say, a spread collar it wouldn't have had such an eye-catching effect.
Anon 11:17AM: I thought the "rule" was that if you are wearing a vest you never button the jacket. No?
Call me a sucker for tradition, but I love vests.
You just can't beat a waistcoat with a suit. In my opinion there is no better look.
Fantastic photo. Lets have more…
While he wears it as well as one can, it's very costumey. Like he just stepped out of a production of Guys and Dolls.
He is very handsome though and that goes a long way.
Great look- The small tie knot on a broader tie is a nice change from the fist-sized knots on super-thick Italian silk ties and the skinny ties. I think this is a perfect example of proportions working at their best.
I don't think this looks dated at all, although it references tradition in a similar way that Ralph Lauren pulls inspiration from the 30s. It's classic in a way that transcends fashion- I could see Fred Astaire wearing a very similar look.
The stripes are definitely on the showy side, but they are balanced out by the conservative shirt and an eye-catching slash of red on the tie in a conservative pattern. Cary Grant probably would've worn something solid or slightly darker, but the red adds some life to what would otherwise be a very plain business suit (with some very exciting details for the already-initiated).
The only reason to date this to the 1930s is his slicked hair, which suits him, but I doubt anyone would even mention the Godfather references if he were a fresh-faced, billowy-sandy-haired Ivy League kid or a NYC hipster dressed in a similar manner.
Masculine peacockism at its finest. Kudos Scott.
By the way, is the jacket double breasted or single breasted? The single lapel button hole would suggest the latter, which would be more appropriate with a double breasted waistcoat.
Love it. I love how he mixed the city boy stripes with a slightly playful polkadot tie. The cut of the suit is perfection. But something about the white pocket hanky is bothering me..
the stripes on the lapel to our left (his right) match whilst the ones to our right so not. interesting asymmetry.
What a beautiful man. He just needs a pocket watch chain to complete the look.
Mmm, nice. I love his style. If I didn't read "London" in the title I would had thought this guy was straight out of Milan. Or somewhere in Italy.
Simply perfect!
That's my pal Karl over at Anderson Sheppard, Savile Row tailors par excellence.
Karl always loves mixing it up a bit, adding a bit of panache to the wonderful, though conservative, tailoring work down by Mr. Hitchcock over at AS.
This shows how an essentially conservative, classically British outfit can be fantastically worn by a modern dude, brought up to date. Bravo, Karl and Anderson Sheppard!!
This is exactly what a London 'city' suit is supposed to look like, any Italian references (to the fabric) would have come from this first I believe.
I've never really liked these on British men however as 'city' men who spend all their lives totting up figures have a tendency toward pale skin and this colour does nothing for that. Couple this with the British love of uniforms and herd mentality (read; everybody in a 1 mile radius wearing the same suit) and it paints a pretty dull picture.
However this guys looks good as an isolated figure and the DB waistcoat is lovely in my opinion, although probably comical without a jacket
The suit is beautiful. The double breasted vest with a straight cut at the bottom is a nice bit of flash.
But, the combination of the hair style with the suit does give a "gangster" vibe. I think a softer hair style would work better.
I take all pictures on this page at
my myspace :-)
He's better looking than this in real life.
Tell me about it!! I'm a lucky girl ;)
I feel that the pinstripes are too pronounced. I really don't like this look.
Tasteful and superbly classic. I might have gone for a higher rise on the trousers, and accordingly a higher-cut vest. Still, excellent.
This guy works on savile row for either anderson and shepard or for henry poole & co!very good look like seeing the classic english gent making its way back!
WOW! amazing look… it looks a 1940 picture!

Nice! Great color and love the hair. I could do without the sandals and the un-PC disposable water bottle. Everyone should be using a Nalgene bottle filled with filtered tap water.
The shoes could only be lovlier if the heels were covered.
Fantastic — this shot reminds me of the Gwendolyn Stewart photo of Anne Sexton.
*LOVE* the dress & everything else…except the shoes! They ruin it, kind of.
she's so well dressed it makes you want to see the inside of her home. . . it's bound to be the chicest place in the city. . .
Love the mix of colors in the outfit. She looks absolutely beautiful, until you get to the shoes, which just don't go. Also, a less severe hairstyle would be nice.
Hair, face, bangles, dress, pose, shoes: fabulous.
something of a peasant in town; mix of primitive and sophisticated elegance
She looks very pretty, very European, but she also looks hot!
Love the mix of prints. Very urbane and chic. Nice. A great example of using globally inspired prints and not make it look like a costume, something for everyday.
I don't like the earrings (too much with the prints of the scarf and the dress) or the shoes, but otherwise "in praise of older women" was my primary thought in looking at this! :)
Ack..In looking more closely I think I falsely accused her of wearing earrings. Still don't like the shoes though.
great look…it's evident that style comes very natural to her
I love the mix of patterns that make her salt and pepper hair look awesome.
Plus, doesn't she look like Nia Vardalos from My Big Fat Greek Wedding?
I really love her look. I love looking through your photos!
I like her style, but not the shoes.
Can't help it…
oh heavens. i think the bracelet thing is splendid. and then of course the colour of the dress and the mix of patterns. it's a cool look.
I love her style with her age, it's fresh and vibrant. I like the mix of colors and prints. I might personally wear a dark brown shoe to blend it in more with the bangles and scarf, but overall she looks great!
I typically abhor white shoes, but these manage to look a little tough and perfectly cool.
I like that they're a bit different than the typical (safe) shoe many of us would've chosen.
I love the shoes and everything else she wears. She looks like someone I would want to know.
I must defend the shoes — they're excellent! They were the first thing I noticed, and I approve of the whole outfit.
A mature woman again.Good. The shoes are the only problematic part in this pic. Well,summer is soon gone and maybe she thinks it is the final time to wear white shoes.
i love it all, esp the shoes. anyone know where she got them?
she looks gorgeous.
The green really compliments her well.
Love the white shoes.
it's encouraging to see an older woman, i.e. not a teener or tweener or twenty year old (all lovely in their own right) who has worked out how to look great and sexy and serious and smart and fun (i.e. grown-up). designs on the high street are mostly for kids.
I love this – it looks like she went to her wardrobe and threw together this outfit with what she found. I love that the shoes are a bit "off"
perfection – it isn't about cool clothes or spending a lot of money but rather 100% about her style.
Love the colors she mix! Great way to wear a scarve!
This woman looks great. Many have commented on the white sandals. I might have chosen a darker color, but the crossed straps do echo the pattern in the scarf. I like that kind of detail. Overall, I love the earthy/urban mix.
She looks very cool, very sophisticated and daring- like someone who has done something with her life. Anyimage, how do you know she isn't refilling one bottle with tap water? Even if she didn't, a fashion blog isn't the place for your righteousness.
Inspirational (if thats how its spelled)
i loved the whole outfit even the shoes ..
Not many can carry this type of look. Print on print coupled with adventurous accessories (the shoes everyone is commenting on!) I love this combi. I won't take away anything honestly. I think she got it right. Reminds me of Tokyo, where fashionable Japanese play on texture, prints, colours & interesting mix of accessories. Be adventurous, I say!
I adore the smart and sensible sandles (I have a pair very similar myself) and I simply love the mixing of patterns and colours ..but what I like most about this outfit are the very cool bracelets this lady is wearing up her arm.
Nothing to little, nothing to much, pure class!
I love the mad mix, very Prada w/o the mad price tag!
Gorgeous interplay between the various prints and patterns. I'm not usually terribly impressed by modern women's fashion choices, but how can I have any issues with this?
Oh, and the colors are excellent also.
Wow, she looks perfect. Very individual, still referencing trends, looking smoking hot. And I adore the shoes. They really make the outfit for me — taking it just over the edge from "ethnic sympathizer" to "bohemian punk."
she seems to like the idea of being wrapped.
Love the heal height.
super chic!!
I LOVE this look; so chic – the shoes – the whole thing! She looks French.
SHE looks great!!!!!!!!!
indonesian batik?
She looks perfect. The white shoes give the outfit edge so she doesn't look too much like a hippy. Perfect combination. She looks wonderful with her grey hair! Anyone that is telling us what they might want to do different in her place; All I can tell you is that she is obviously more stylish then you are. Thats why there is a picture of her, and not you.
she wears indonesian printed-fabric namely batik. and also goes for her scarf.
beautiful how she put together all the element
yes, indeed..Indonesian batik

The Olso native was regarded as a precocious talent from an early age and won the Norwegian Amateur Championship at the age of 17 before turning professional a year later.In a country which has never produced a real household name in world golf, Bjørnstad became a national idol in golfing circles despite never earning a win on the major circuits, his best rankings finish on The European Tour coming in 2002 (61st) after a finishing runner-up to José Maria Olazábal at the Hong Kong Open that year.
He can also say he was leading Tiger Woods at one point in his career, at the Buick Invitational on the US PGA Tour in 2006 before the American went on to win. That 10th place finish came soon after Bjørnstad had taken a rather bizarre career break back home – to work alongside his friend as a carpenter.He explains: "I was playing on The European Tour in 2004 and I quit after the French Open. I had had enough of it and I needed a big break to be honest. I just felt empty, I wasn't enjoying it and I didn't want to travel and play tournaments so I decided to do something else.
"I thought it was going to be forever but it turned out to be a 10 month break. I had a friend with a carpentry business and I worked there for 10 months and it was a lot of fun."It gave me perspective. I hadn't done anything else other than golf since I was 15. That's all I did, I quit school and lived the 'professional life' since then, and I was really curious about the other side of life - having a normal job and the social life.
"It gave me perspective that being a professional golfer is a really good life. We're so fortunate to manage our own time and travel the world. It's great."
After returning to the game in 2006 and competing on the US PGA Tour, Bjørnstad made the decision to retire for good in 2010."I felt like I had reached my limits," he admitted, "I felt like I struggled in the last couple of years to improve and my last year on the PGA Tour, I felt I didn't have that level in me any more so I felt it was time to move back to Norway.
"If I could do it all over again I probably would have given myself a bit more time at a young age and taken everything a bit slower but I think it's easier when you step away from it to appreciate everything you've been through, all the places I've been, people I've met and results that I had.
"Sure, I still look back on many of the moments of my career with a smile."
Now, the 33 year old is putting his experience to good use with the Norwegian Golf Federation, as a Junior Team coach and is known as an excellent motivator for the younger generation of Norwegian golfers."Hopefully some of my experience can help younger players to improve and I can help them avoid the kind of potholes that I went through," he said.

Lance Armstrong: David Millar gives his verdict on UCI decision
- From the section Cycling
I agree with the International Cycling Union (UCI) that Lance Armstrong does not have a place in cycling following revelations he is a drug cheat.
But should he be forgotten? No. The errors of the past will stop history from repeating. If we wipe the slate clean, then there is a strong chance we will end up in the same position in 10 to 15 years' time.
At this moment, I feel sadness more than anything. I lived through this and had my own taste of admitting my doping past.
In truth, what has happened is not reflective of the sport. For it to come out all at once is not fair on many of the young guys who have never encountered doping and never will.
I do think that Lance should come clean, but I also know Lance and the sheer scale of what that would represent for him.
He has had a decade of libel cases and he might even go to jail. It has got so big it might be very complex for him. It is simply not a case of coming clean just to clear his conscience. He would have to do it tactically.
It feels a little bit like we have taken a few steps backwards, although cycling has progressed.
We now have an anti-doping culture where before we had a doping culture. But now we have to start with persuading the public and the fans again. The truth is that the majority of the sport is clean.
We have been chipping away at doping over the last five years, or even longer. Myself, fellow ex-doper and now my Garmin-Sharp manager Jonathan Vaughters and the team made it our mission in 2008 to have a clean line-up and show it is possible to win the biggest races without doping - a no-needle-policy team.
Garmin-Sharp have been proactive and transparent with the media. We have made a difference and shown the young cyclists it is possible.
Regarding the UCI, there needs to be change. Some will not resign, so they will have to be removed. If they don't and there isn't a change then it would have to be forced upon them.
Should UCI president Pat McQuaid resign? I dont know. He has to distance himself from former UCI chief Hein Verbruggen and accept the past. We have to get rid of Verbruggen as honorary president.
McQuaid has to show some true innovative steps for moving forward. That would be a big shift.
If we want the sport to change, we have to help it change within the structure it is in for the time being.
David Millar was speaking to BBC Sport's Dan Roan and BBC World Service's John Bennett

In this blog I talk about some of the personal programming I do as a hobby. By trade I'm a Java and database developer but I've dabbled in Haskell, front-end development, etc. I'm currently working as an architect but still enjoy getting my fingers dirty in code!

EclipseFP 2.5.0 released
In this feature, I've added support for cabal-dev, as demonstrated in this video.
I also have added a "organize imports" function on an opened source file. This cleans the import lists by only importing what's really used and formatting it in a manner similar to what stylish-haskell does.
I have also tried to improve the performance of the editor, and fixed all bugs we were made aware of. Syntax highlighting can now highlight more tokens in different colors (non alphanumeric symbols, different types of comment).
Full release notes can be seen here.
As usual, to upgrade just point your Eclipse to http://eclipsefp.sf.net/updates. Report any issue to the SourceForge forum.
Happy Haskell Hacking!

Thanks for the update! EclipseFP is showing a lot of promise.
One annoying thing is that there is a perceptible lag when typing in the editor, enough for it to be distracting. It seems like too much computation is being done in the UI thread. This is actually a major reason why I haven't fully migrated my Haskell development to EclipseFP yet. A source editor is first and foremost a text editor, and any pure text editor that performed as poorly as this would be shunned!
Another minor annoyance on Mac at least is that EclipseFP doesn't seem to know about the standard place to look for executables, which is $HOME/Library/Haskell/bin/. Because of this, it wants to cabal-install all the helper executables even when they're already installed, and even after it installs them it can't find them; you have to manually point it to each one in the preference page. The "try to find executable in common directories" doesn't look in what should be THE most common directory.
Again, aside from those issues it's looking great!

Hello Tom, sorry to hear about your issues. This new version of EclipseFP should have faster performance in the editor. There is actually not that much being done in the UI Thread, but Eclipse does the syntax highlighting in that thread by default. There is a preference setting that allows you to specify a size for files over which the syntax highlighting is done in a thread, so you may see a lag in coloring, but at least you can type fast. But it's weird, as I said I have worked on that performance, and I use EclipseFP myself for all my Haskell development of course and don't notice a lag when typing (and my machine is not that powerful).
For the Mac executable location, I'll check the code, but there are lots of Mac users and nobody reported that issue before. I think we actually use Haskell to get the location where executables are installed...
- Tom Crockett said...
What's the preference to do syntax highlighting in a background thread?
It's surprising to me that you don't notice the performance problems on an older machine; my machine is a very new 2.6 GHz MacBook Pro. Here's a quick test: just mash a bunch of keys as fast as you can for a few seconds and then stop. When I do that for N seconds and then stop, the editor spends at least N seconds catching up. Compare this to the Java eclipse editor, which it is impossible to get ahead of.
Anyway, thanks for looking into it!
- JP Moresmau said...
Tom, I've just released 2.5.1. It fixes an issue in the syntax highlighting preference page. At the bottom of that page is the setting for the page limit to do syntax highlighting in a different thread.
2.5.1 also searches for executables in $HOME/Library/Haskell/bin/
For the performance, I can see no slowdown. Sometimes an over-zealous antivirus can slow down invocations of buildwrapper?
- Tom Crockett said...
Thanks, after I set that preference to 0 the text input keeps up. The syntax highlighting lags behind a bit, but that's an acceptable price to pay.

Sunday Sweets: Simply Stunning
I think it was Martha Stewart who once said, "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."
Oh, whoops - actually that was Leonardo DaVinci.
Either way, I bet Leo and Martha would both give sincere fist-bumps of approval to the bakers of these simple yet stunning wedding cakes:
Submitted by Rachel G., found here, baker unknown.
Speaking of Martha, she's probably going to be hunting down the baker so she can feature this divine cake on the cover of her next magazine. That's a very Good Thing!
Sub'd by Danny C., made by Choux Designer Cakes & Pastries
Fully-blossomed roses, fondant "fabric" and seed-pearl piping all scream demurely whisper "simple sophistication!"
Sub'd by Lynne P., made by Sweet Perfection
Layers of flowers, polka dots, lace edging, quilt stitching, and paisley might sound like a whole lot of crazy on a single cake, but in monochrome, they make it a masterpiece.
This cake is so modern and chic, I somehow want to eat it, wear it and decorate my house with it at the same time!
Sub'd by K.I., made by Bee's Cake Design
Of course, simple does not = easy! Those painted flowers use a technique called "brush embroidery," for example, which obviously requires waaaay more effort than buying pre-made flowers, sticking them on a cake, and pretending you made them yourself. Which I would never do. Very often. Again.
Hey, not everyone is born with a flair for fondant flower-forming! But this next baker was:
Sub'd by Rebecca S. and made by her friend Jenny, amateur cake prodigy
And would you believe Jenny was only 14 years old when she made this? Fourteen!
I know, right?!
By Design Cakes
This explosion of roses set against such a basic backdrop is so striking. And the single petal drifted off to the side? Perfection.
Of course there are other options if you prefer your cakes flower-free. Like diamonds!
Sub'd by K.L., made by The Cake Company
I'm not sure if those are jewels or simply silver dragees (totally had Google that word, and was a little concerned about typing in "edible silver balls"), but either way that's some beautiful bling.
Made by the amazing Rylan T. of Art and Appetite
This four-tiered cake with cleverly chosen designs that symbolize true devotion (turtle doves), peace (olive branch), and perfection, light, and life (fleur de lis) may not quite qualify as simple - but stunning? You betcha!
By Lorinda Seto
Such an exacting design leaves zero room for imperfections, and I can't spot a single one! I love the alternating damask pattern,and how the color scheme manages to look playful and grown up at the same time. Just gorgeous.
That's all for today! Thanks for reading, and just so you know: "You're simply the best!"
(See, that was Martha Stewart.
Oh, you're right; it was Tina Turner.
Same diff.)
Have a Sweet to nominate? Then send it to Sunday Sweets [at] Cake Wrecks [dot] com.
Tour Update: Our book tour RSVP pages are now live! Just click your city name here to let us know if you're coming. This lets us know how many prizes to bring, and also helps our bakers plan the right amount of cake.
Speaking of which: hey, pro bakers! We're still looking for a cake provider in each of the following cities: Richmond, Baltimore, Montreal, St.Loius, Memphis, New Orleans and Orlando.
We promise to make it worth your while, so if you're interested, please shoot us an e-mail!

Risotto Alla iPad
One confident cook and one total novice download the fundamentals of Italian cuisine
The App
Sara Jenkins' New Italian Pantry ($4, available for iPad)
I have always been jealous of those women who have a streamlined wardrobe, in which a few essential, covetable items come together in different combinations to form countless chic ensembles. Try as I may, such a wardrobe will not be mine. But when I saw New York chef Sara Jenkins's new cooking app, I wondered if, perhaps, such a pantry could be.

Special Place or Special Zone? The Future of Aqaba
Aqaba, a small city at the southern tip of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, perches at the margin of the desert and the waters of the Gulf of Aqaba, and would seem to be an out-of-the-way place to be attracting global economic attention. Early in the twentieth century,Aqaba was ruled by the Ottoman Turks and to an outsider's eye was just a simple fishing village. A Turkish governor described it as a hundred mud huts separated from the sea by gardens, and T.E. Lawrence ("Lawrence of Arabia"), who captured the town from the Turks in 1917, described the huts as having been "degraded to [their] original rubbish" by the bombardment of French and British warships. Indeed, the aerial photograph taken by the German pilot who bombed the then-recently liberated Aqaba in 1918 shows very little that seems worth bombing.
Yet Aqaba entered the twenty-first century on an entirely different note. In 2000 the Jordanian government declared the city a Special Economic Zone—a preferred tax- and duty-free site designed explicitly to attract investment and international businesses. From being a kind of sleepy, back-door entryway into Jordan known mainly for its proximity to stunning coral reefs and the archaeological wonders of Petra, Aqaba over the past eight years has become one of the most talked-about development sites in the Middle East. Billions of dollars of development projects are now in motion, radically—and perhaps irrevocably— altering the city's character, structure, appearance, and prospects. And the town's inhabitants and environmental activists are starting to wonder how to reconcile this upheaval with Aqaba's local community, heritage, and natural amenities.
Aqaba is no stranger to outside forces, having witnessed millennia of geological, environmental, social, political, and economic change. Start with the very bedrock upon which it rests. Looking out from a hillside above Aqaba and across the valley to the neighboring Israeli town of Eilat, much of what you see below is on the move.You are on the Arabian tectonic plate, traveling north a few millimeters a year,while the hotels on the other side of the valley are on the African plate, on land displaced 107 kilometers south of its Jordanian counterpart over millions of years. That fitful tectonic creep causes earthquakes, episodically destroying area towns (including, it is claimed, the biblical Sodom and Gemora, or Gomorrah).

And this blast of cold air continues...........hope everyone is warm and safe and not braving the elements. Wind chills are brutal today....just about everywhere I'm thinking. My list of "Things
to Do" has shifted to another day. Thinking about something warm and hearty for dinner when the hubby gets home! My motivation is missing in action at this point! Please tell me I'm not the only one! Before I crawl from between the sheets I mentally make my list. Once my feet hit the floor, it's another story!!
Woke up a 5 a.m. with a pounding headache. Took some aspirin and grabbed a book to read for a couple of hours. Went back to bed at 7 a.m. and the phone woke me up at 10 a.m. Shame on me.............but it was so nice!!! I very rarely do this, but find that since I have retired my feelings of "guilt" are less when I do decide to do something out of the ordinary!
Stay safe and warm!!

I guess it's time....
I am probably one of the last to give it up and tuck away the winter decorations. This cute snowman has been keeping my company since the Christmas decorations came down and he has done a great job.
So this little vignette is soon to change.
And the bedroom will take on a different feel for a bit!
And Lady Lucille will rest for the winter and we will see her again next year!
Alas, Valentine's Day is approaching quickly!

It's a Winter Wonderland!
Michigan is known for many things - beautiful winter snowstorms among them. Although this last one has been burrr, oh so cold, it has been absolutely breathtaking! We are running out of room to put the snow after the hubby has plowed! Suppose the warm-up this weekend will help a little bit!
Christmas decoration and down and put away until next year. A few snowmen linger to keep me company on these winter snowy days and there are a few pops of red.....just because red makes me happy in my heart!
Tomorrow, the plan is to take a ride and see if we can capture some pictures of the lighthouses in this weather. They always make such interesting photos. I think I need to invest in some really, really warm gear!!!! Any suggestions?
Couldn't resist this barn. Not only is it red.....it is so pretty!!
And finally, last Friday I participated in The Thrifty Groove's Social Networking Party and appreciate the opportunity to grow my blog. Thanks to you who have chosen to follow me!! I am always open to suggestions!! Are you able to make comments? Please let me know if you cannot.

Happy New Year!!
Happy New Year!!
Wishing each of you a Happy New Year and may the coming year be filled with happiness, health, healing and prosperity! May all your prayers be answered and your dreams come true!
We are snuggled in, enjoying the fire and each other's company. New Year's Eve, for us, is for the young kids! We are perfectly content to pop in a movie, sip some wine, have a nice meal and relax. I barely remember the days when we were out and about.
Christmas decorations are still up. I am probably in the minority as I don't take mine down until a week or so into January. I so enjoy the twinkling lights in a dark room. I'll always be a kid at heart!
Enjoy the moments!!

Wimbledon 2013 will be remembered as a tournament of shocks
Wimbledon 2013 will be remembered as a tournament of shocks but unless giants Juan Martin del Potro and Jerzy Janowicz can chop Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray down to size, Sunday's men's final will be a showdown between the world's top two players.
In a sport that plays on the psychologically vulnerable and demands supreme levels of physical endurance, the consistency of Djokovic and Murray in reaching the business end of Grand Slams is nothing short of remarkable.
When Djokovic takes to Centre Court to play Argentine Del Potro, it will be his 13th successive semi-final at a major, while Murray's match-up against Janowicz will be his fifth consecutive appearance in the last four at Wimbledon.
Should they both win, it will be the third time in the last four Grand Slams that they have met in the final.
Their rivalry has usurped that of Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal as the biggest draw in the sport and with the Swiss maestro and the Spanish matador having been dumped out early, two different faces will contest Friday's semis.

Del Potro will do well just to make it on court in semis
Juan Del Potro, a Grand Slam winner at the US Open in 2009, is hardly an unknown, but Janowicz has emerged from obscurity and will enter the world's top 20 next week.
Both players are imposing figures on court. Poland's Janowicz stands at 6-foot-8 and Del Potro is a mere two inches shorter.
Both have booming serves and heavy duty forehands and both are distant outsiders to cause an upset - bookies have Djokovic a 1-6 favourite to beat Del Potro and Murray is 1-5 to end Janowicz's surprise run.
Del Potro will do well just to make it on court. After a nasty tumble in his third-round match, when he collided with a chair, he has played with heavy strapping around his knee.
His quarter-final against David Ferrer looked like it was going to be over after just five points when the Argentine eighth seed slipped, over-extended the wounded knee and needed a medical timeout.
The emphatic way he came out hitting, however, pummelling forehands past one of the sport's best defensive players, showed that although his movement might be restricted, he remains a major threat as long as the ball is within range.
"I'm not going to put my body at risk," he said. "The doctors tell me with this tape and taking some anti-inflammatories you can play.
"If they say something different, I will think."
He will need to be 100 percent to have a chance against Djokovic.
The only former champion in the last four has a 8-3 winning record against Del Potro, is one of the game's very best returners and will keep him working his wounded limb from start to finish.
Some comfort for Del Potro is that he won their last meeting at the Indian Wells Masters in March as well as the bronze medal match on the Wimbledon lawns at last year's Olympics.

'He's a big guy with a lot of power'
Murray, looking to shed the millstone of becoming the first British man since Fred Perry in 1936 to win the Wimbledon title, faces a similar threat.
Jerzy Janowicz, a qualifier last year who has rocketed up the rankings and beat compatriot Lukasz Kubot in straight sets in the last eight with the help of 30 sizzling aces.
He is Poland's first male Grand Slam semi-finalist and, at 22, is the youngest man to reach the last four at Wimbledon since Murray in 2009.
"I hope Andy will feel some kind of pressure," he said. "I'm sure he will feel some kind of pressure because Great Britain is waiting for the champion of Wimbledon."
The pair have played each other twice with US Open champion Murray winning one and Janowicz the most recent encounter at the Paris Masters in November.
"It will be a very tough match," Murray said. "He has a big serve. He's a big guy with a lot of power. He also has pretty good touch. He likes to hit dropshots and doesn't just whack every single shot as hard as he can."

• Williams Continues To Climb Scoring List
Alan Williams scored 16 points in UCSB's Jan. 18 win at Cal State Northridge, becoming the 26th player in school history to eclipse the 1,000 point mark. That same night, he moved from 26th to 25th on the all-time list, passing B.J. Bunton (1,003). On Thursday Williams scored 16 points in the Gauchos' win at Long Beach State and he enters Saturday's game against Cal State Northridge with 1,142 in his career. In the game against the 49ers, he passed , Idris Jones (1,130), Eric McArthur (1,134) and Raymond Tutt (1,141), to move into 19th all-time. Next-up is James Powell who finished hsi career with 1,184 points.
• Williams Becomes Sixth Gaucho To 700 Rebounds
Alan Williams had 37 rebounds over a two game span against UC Davis and Hawaii and in doing so, became the sixth UCSB player to eclipse 700 career boards. He added eight on Thursday at Long Beach State and enters Saturday's game against Cal State Northridge with 720 career boards, needing just four to move past Chris Devine (723) and into fifth all-time.
• Alan Williams Is First Gaucho With 20/20 In 24 Years
Alan Williams had 27 points and 20 rebounds in the Feb. 1 over UC Davis and in doing so, he became the first UCSB player to have 20 or more points and 20 or more rebounds in the same game since Eric McArthur had 28 points and 21 rebounds in a Jan. 29, 1990 overtime win over Cal State Fullerton. In fact, Williams' 20/20 performance was the first in regulation by a Gaucho since McArthur had 24 points and 20 rebounds in a Dec. 9, 1989 game against Loyola Marymount.
• Boswell Becomes Third Gaucho To Hit 200 Three-Pointers
Senior Kyle Boswell made three three-point baskets in the Gauchos' win over UC Davis and in doing so, became the third player in school history to make 200 career threes. While he did not make a three-pointer in the Feb. 6 win at Hawaii, Boswell bounced back by making three in Thursday's win at Long Beach State and now has 203, third all-time. His final two targets on the three-pointer list are Mark Hull (217) and James Powell (221).
• More Milestone Monitoring
With five blocked shots at Hawaii, Alan Williams now has 151 in his career, fourth on the school's all-time list. He needs four to move past Doug Muse into third. His 48 blocks this season are tied for 8th on the all-time single-season list. Kyle Boswell has 60 three-pointers this season and now has 203 in his career. He is third all-time and needs 19 to become the school's all-time leader. Also, Boswell needs 87 points to surpass 1,000 in his career. He would be the 27th UCSB player to do so.
