Who's in Line for Allmendinger's Seat in '13?
Roger Penske admits that his phone has been ringing off the hook from those wanting a shot in the No. 22 Sprint Cup car.
Now that AJ Allmendinger has been released, it is officially "game on" as far as who could drive that car in 2013.
Here is a list of people likely calling Penske about that ride and their chances.
Sam Hornish Jr.
Hornish probably feels like he doesn't need to call. After all, Penske knows where to get hold of him, as Hornish still drives for the team. Sitting fourth in the Nationwide Series standings, Hornish is showing signs that he deserves another shot in Cup. He'll get it as the replacement for Allmendinger the rest of the season. Combine that with a successful past relationship with Pennzoil, and he doesn't really need to call Penske. He just needs to prove that Penske doesn't have to answer the phone.
Joey Logano
Logano and Penske already have talked, and it's likely the talks started before Allmendinger was 23rd in the standings and before he ever was drug tested. Without a contract for 2013, Logano has shown signs of potential, as he is in the mix for a Chase wild-card berth. And while there are no guarantees, he has always been sponsor-friendly. But to hire Logano, Penske would have to figure out if he is a contender or a pretender.
Ryan Newman
Could Newman return to Penske? A month ago that would sound like crazy talk. But with each week, it sounds a little less crazy. There might be some feelings to smooth over from his departure following the 2008 season, but at least Penske would know what it's getting with Newman, who would like to remain at Stewart-Haas Racing. But SHR must land significant sponsorship for that to happen.
Regan Smith
Unsigned for 2013, Smith seems pretty dedicated to Furniture Row Racing. But that organization also has been looking to start a second car with Kurt Busch on the radar. Sitting 24th in the standings this year, Smith hasn't turned many heads. But there are a lot of people who would like to see Smith get a chance with one of the elite teams.
Trevor Bayne
Bayne is a Ford guy, so with Penske's move to Ford, his name gets on this list even though he is a Roush Fenway Racing guy. Penske apparently had some interest in Bayne last year, but Bayne was under contract with Roush Fenway. Bayne said last week it looks like he'll do a full Nationwide season for Roush Fenway with hopes of continuing the part-time Cup deal for the Wood Brothers next year. While a long shot, he's probably on the radar, also because like Hornish and Logano, there should be no behavior issues that would make Shell/Pennzoil worry.
Brian Vickers
Vickers has shown he still can wheel a car, as he has been strong in his races for Michael Waltrip Racing this year. Unfortunately for Vickers, he must overcome the "what if" questions that have dogged him since he had to miss most of 2010 because of blood clots and ensuing open heart surgery. Shell/Pennzoil will want stability, and no matter how many doctors say Vickers is good to go with no greater chance of recurrence as the average person, there likely will be some doubt in people's minds.
Martin Truex Jr.
We've been told he's all but signed at Michael Waltrip Racing. Until he does, got to figure he'd be given a look.
David Ragan
He talked with Penske last year and didn't get the job. He has done decent work at Front Row Motorsports as he sits 29th in the standings and also would represent a sponsor well. Long shot but probably on the candidate list.
Elliott Sadler
Sadler would love to get another opportunity in Cup. He leads the Nationwide Series standings, which shows he can get the job done. But with several subpar Cup seasons in people's memory, this would be a long shot.

Bronze, alloy traditionally composed of copper and tin. Bronze is of exceptional historical interest and still finds wide applications. It was made before 3000 bc, though its use in artifacts did not become common until much later. The proportions of copper and tin varied widely (from 67 to 95 percent copper in surviving artifacts), but, by the Middle Ages in Europe, certain proportions were known to yield specific properties. An alloy described in an 11th-century Greek manuscript in the library of St. Mark's, Venice, cites a proportion of one pound copper to two ounces of tin (8 to 1), approximately that used for bronze gunmetal in later times. Some modern bronzes contain no tin at all, substituting other metals such as aluminum, manganese, and even zinc.
During this period bronze first appeared. The oldest known piece of this material is a bronze rod found in the pyramid at Maydūm (Medum), near Memphis in Egypt, the date of origin being generally accepted as about 3700
Bronze is harder than copper as a result of alloying that metal with tin or other metals. Bronze is also more fusible (i.e., more readily melted) and is hence easier to cast. It is also harder than pure iron and far more resistant to corrosion. The substitution of iron for bronze in tools and weapons from about 1000 bc was the result of iron's abundance compared to copper and tin rather than any inherent advantages of iron.
Bell metal, characterized by its sonorous quality when struck, is a bronze with a high tin content of 20–25 percent. Statuary bronze, with a tin content of less than 10 percent and an admixture of zinc and lead, is technically a brass. Bronze is improved in hardness and strength by the addition of a small amount of phosphorus; phosphor bronze may contain 1 or 2 percent phosphorus in the ingot and a mere trace after casting, but its strength is nonetheless enhanced for such applications as pump plungers, valves, and bushings. Also useful in mechanical engineering are manganese bronzes, in which there may be little or no tin but considerable amounts of zinc and up to 4.5 percent manganese. Aluminum bronzes, containing up to 16 percent aluminum and small amounts of other metals such as iron or nickel, are especially strong and corrosion-resistant; they are cast or wrought into pipe fittings, pumps, gears, ship propellers, and turbine blades.
Besides its traditional use in weapons and tools, bronze has also been widely used in coinage; most "copper" coins are actually bronze, typically with about 4 percent tin and 1 percent zinc.

Although I've used Windows, various Linux distributions and two BSD flavors, I'm not going to comment about them as they worked well for me but, what I can tell you, is that I've chosen NetBSD as my main and only operating system.
The reasons I like NetBSD:
I'm sorry for not stating any power-user reasons like those given in the previous comments but from my point of view, it's OK.
A daemon in need is a daemon indeed.
The main reason I tried and switched to OpenBSD from FreeBSD three years ago was that I needed TeXLive which has never been ported (properly using FreeBSD ports frame work not quick unofficial ports). In retrospect I would buy a drink to Hiroki Sato whose lack of effort and big ego made me try and switch to OpenBSD.
>It has not been pointed out but there are over 100 different Linux based distrobutions and they vary significantly as far as complexity.
There are some major branches, like Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, Red Hat, Suse and lots of redundant mock-ups comparable to green oranges, yellow oranges, blue oranges, etc. pp.
>You can achieve a very simple almost OpenBSD like system with Slackware by doing a minimal install and then stripping the kernel of everything you don't need.
I can even make Ubuntu usable, but why should I do it? Why not take the original, namely Debian, instead? Apart from that, Slack is a fine distro, but it's aged. If it fits, then it's okay, if it doesn't fit anymore then you have to move on. Slack was my favorite from the early nineties until the post millennium, nowadays it's just nostalgia.
>The one thing that may be missing is PF and I'm not familiar enough to guess if similiar functionality can be achieve with IPtables.
The second thing missing is security, proper code and proper documentation. You can even achieve a secure Windows server, but to what avail? Tinkering lots of hours, just to get something similar? And once in a while you can do it again, due to so-called progress also known as "we can't fix it anymore, so let's throw it away and build something new".
It's surely possible to take a Mercedes and change it to a Porsche. But what's the point in doing so? Fun? Lots of spare time?
use UNIX or die :-)
My Journal
Thou shalt check the array bounds of all strings (indeed, all arrays), for surely where thou typest ``foo'' someone someday shall type ``supercalifragilisticexpialidocious''.
Using several rules in iptables can massively slow down a server. You may think of nonsense like 30-40 rules, but I experienced such behaviour with just 8 rules on a descent machine. I don't know whether this changed nowadays, but since then we're using OpenBSD for such critical tasks :-)
By the way, something in favour of OpenBSD:
use UNIX or die :-)
Interesting discussing and comments on iptables....
This year I write PhD thesis about OpenSource firewalls: pf, ipfw, iptables maybe some others....
I planed to cover NetBSD npf as well, but NetBSD 6 isn't released yet....
Maybe later I will translate my work and/or share my experience
Back to topic:
+ I like FreeBSD because I can build my desktop the way I want it and I control almost everything that is executed
+ ZFS is also nice....
+ If I install something I know where to look for files
+ I love manpages, they are great
+ No kernel updates every week
+ I like Beastie
OpenBSD -- landed at it for arbitrary reasons (it's from Canada I'm from Canada I guess I should use this one) and feel a need to justify my decision with hyperbole and an emotional connection which I'll leave out from here except to say that I value the attitude OpenBSD developers seem to have towards the fixing of bugs no matter how small or if they're found in 25 year old text only rogue style games that have enhanced versions from other sources. It's especially charming when one finds a bug that goes back to the 70s or early 80s and the community reacts to this with awe. Few developers I know have proved capable of cultivating this healthy an attitude. No, instead I interview children who tell me the job I'm offering them is legacy development or just maintenance programming.
A daemon in need is a daemon indeed.
Maybe that each gives me something to do, a little project or two of my own. Support for different machines and architectures.
I use FreeBSD as my desktop and honestly the main reason is, I've been using it as my desktop for the last 13 years and I don't have to think or research how to set it up. Other reasons:
+ Native Opera - just like others.
+ Nvidia driver - I know some hate the binary blob, but the nv driver (last I tried) didn't support the native resolution of my wide screen and was terrible with dual monitors.
+ Community (mainly dev or port maintainers) great community, I helped debug the mpt driver a few years back and the dev was great. Emails to port maintainers have all been positive and productive. Were as in OpenBSD, I feel like I get beat with a two by four for asking a question. I'd also have to add that maybe I'm just getting to old, but the younger freebsd users in the forums seem to have too much of a linux or windows attitude for me.
+ And it is also the only OS other that XP to boot and recognize all the hardware in my current machine correctly. I had the machine 6 years now. I would have liked to try OpenBSD on it but it would not boot.
OpenBSD would probably be my second choice OS.
+ Simplest install around in my experience.
+ Much better laptop support than FreeBSD, but I'm not a full time laptop user only occasionally.
- No native Opera.
- No binary Nvidia.
Although, if I had a machine that would run it, I 'd probably use OpenVMS.
"The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words." -Philip K. Dick
Help for FreeBSD: Handbook, FAQ, man pages, mailing lists.
FreeBSD will be my top choice for many reasons. Here are some of them:
+ Native Opera
+ Official NVIDIA support
+ Community
+ Beastie
- Shady ACPI suspend/resume
I would consider OpenBSD, but no native Opera and no NVIDIA support is a turn off. Also, in the slim chance of flash being supported natively on *BSD, 99% it would be FreeBSD if it happens.
I hope devs fix the suspend/resume for SMP + i386 in ver. 9.
I really like NetBSD and OpenBSD, though I do occasionally boot into FreeBSD and Dragonfly. I actually like all the BSDs.
The reason I like NetBSD is because of the Veriexec subsystem and its exploit-mitigation features...from the security manpage:
**The cpu-scaling sysctl facilities are REALLY nice for my laptop:
In short, PF and Altq built-in...Wow! Also it has a very clean, functional feel to it. I really like the systrace system call facility and was a bit sad to see systrace leave NetBSD. I also like the sensord I think it's called though I have yet to implement it...
FreeBSD feels a lot more "massive" to me than the other BSDs somehow...perhaps it is because there is a much larger user-base than in the other distributions and therefore constantly has developers sharing their work. In fact, there was recently an article I read (I forget where) which said FreeBSD is indeed a very fast-moving target which I agree is true.
I really like the sysctl tcp and udp "blackhole" features, and really want to wrap my head around the ipfw and dummynet facilities as well. ipfw is such a massive thing however but for a general-purpose firewall, is made really easy via the /etc/rc.firewall built-in scripts. In other words, I like how you can define rc.conf variables for the firewall (ipfw) and get a basic working setup in no time!
The ACL features are nice too, and for FreeBSD 9, there is supposed to be the Capsicum extensions incorporated into the mainline.
**FreeBSD also has cpu-scaling which is usually more fine-grained than that found in NetBSD:
I really like Hammer and think that the way you can define different firewall setups for ip4 and ipv6 is very cool...all again from /etc/rc.conf! Though it's said Dragonfly is more of a clustering platform, I have yet to work with those facilities myself due to lack of hardware : P
Other than that, it feels a lot like FreeBSD obviously because it's branched from an older release (5.X I think). The virtualization feature where you can run a kernel in userspace is cool too (I think I described that correctly).
I started out with Linux and like others tried a thousand distributions. I think out of all the Linux systems, Opensuse is to me, one of the most stable and additionally has a well-thought-out design. I have had an account at susestudio.com for nearly two years and there you can design custom distributions/appliances etc with an opensuse or suse-based solution. I ALWAYS however, come back to BSD systems for building appliances etc. It just feels as if I have more control when building from the ground-up.
But for Linux, I think it is good.
OpenBSD 4.9 an all my machines, except some programs that runs only on windows using wife's laptop (Windows 7).
I switched from Linux using for a decade to OpenBSD right when 4.8 came out. Fall in love with it and never looked back.
What I love about OpenBSD
1: Simplicity
2: Security
3: Excellent documentation
4: Solid networking
5: Great knowledgeable responds form this forum when help is needed.
OpenBSD does just about everything I need.
fvwm - simple fast window manager
Leafpad - simple good text editor
Epdfview - pdf viewer
Gentoo - simple file manager.
mplayer - all media
ffmpeg - working with media files
cdrtools - burning CD/DVD
Geany - for my "C" coding (learning)
Gqview - basic photo viewer
Gimp - advanced photo editing
get_flash_videos - download flash videos
gphoto - getting pictures from my camera
Thank you OpenBSD team.
I read up on the various BSDs, and then decided on OpenBSD, and I'm loving it. The focus on security, clean code, and the small, quick CD download were determining factors. And finding the setup to be pretty easy to get where I want, and the documentation is good.
6. Good taste
... which sort of fits with 1 but not exactly.
I discovered OpenBSD in 2011, when looking for an alternative OS for my antique P3 Win98 laptop.
I tried several Linux distributions, but only Debian was light enough for my machine.
And I was not really satisfied with Debian.
Then, I tried OpenBSD 5.0 and fell instantly in love with it.
Never changed, except for an upgrade to 5.1.
The console installation is so easy, and the OS is free, functional and so fast.
It gave my old laptop a new life.
Later, I virtualized several OS, but none ever outmatched OpenBSD.
OpenSUSE could be a solution, but still too heavy compared to OpenBSD.
Same observation with Solaris/OpenSolaris/OpenIndiana.
PC-BSD is really really too heavy, and really really too slow !
But the worst is Ubuntu.
I tried Ubuntu, but the install process is soooo long, soooo slow and soooo painful...
And Ubuntu is just awful to use, just like a urchin in the ass
Even Ubuntu's site is painful.
Now, I only use open source applications, then I can use any machine/OS, it doesn't really make a big difference : Firefox, Chromium, GIMP, Bluefish, Filezilla, Qt, PostgreSQL.
So, I use OpenBSD by choice :
The secret of wisdom is not wisdom itself, it's the road that leads us there.

The Lucid Dream album launch party - 10/07/2013 @ Buffalo Bar, London.
WHEN: Wednesday 10 July 2013
WHERE: The Buffalo Bar, Highbury, London
HOW MUCH: £6.00 online (http://www.wegottickets.com/event/217668) OR
**TWO TICKETS FOR £10.00** (http://www.wegottickets.com/event/231133)
One Man Melt presents....
'noisier northern hopes''
-NME Magazine
'reverb drenched majesty'
-The Fly
'beautiful traditional psychedelia'
-Lauren Laverne, BBC 6 Music
'jangly psychedelia, listeners tip of the week'
-Steve Lamacq, BBC Radio 2
The Lucid Dream were formed in Carlisle, Cumbria, in 2008.
On the back of 'Erbistock Mill' EP, and 3 sold-out 7" single releases ('Love In My Veins' 'Heartbreak Girl' 'Hits Me Like I'm Stoned'), the band have gained acclaim from the likes of NME, Q, Frank Skinner (Absolute Radio), Steve Lamacq (BBC Radio 2 'Listeners Tip of the Week'), and major support from BBC 6 Music (Nemone 'Record of the Weekend', Lauren Laverne, Gideon Coe, Tom Robinson).
Most recently, the band were selected as full UK tour support to A Place To Bury Strangers, and followed this up by supporting Death In Vegas. This was on the back of supports to Spectrum, Crocodiles, Captain Beefheart's 'The Magic Band', and The Aliens, to name a few.
The long awaited debut album, 'Songs Of Lies and Deceit', will be released on 1st July 2013 (on CD/download via Holy Are You Recordings, and on limited vinyl via The Great Pop Supplement).
'Joyous debut album from Parisian Creationists' Uncut Magazine
'Great record, sounds like they should be from California' Steve Lamacq, BBC 6 Music
'I've listened to the album so many times this week I love it' Tom Ravenscroft
Beat Mark are one of a few French bands to strike with the noisy pop spirit of contemporary U.S. music (from MGMT to Dum Dum Girls), who don't hide their mid-80s to mid-90s English influences. Their sound has been described as nuggets of The Vaselines, and The Television Personalities with a few drops of The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Stone Roses and Primal Scream.
Some have even evoked My Bloody Valentine. Whatever, the mix, the 2 boys and 2 girls of Beat Mark from Paris have created a full-length album that has a raw and instantly refreshing new sound. Who would have thought the French could be so chic hot.
'Sexy & dirty, melodic & gloriously messy at the same time' Les Inrocks
'Saturated garage guitar pop, lo-fi psychedelism sung in English...it's simple, it's beautiful, it's dignified & sober' Rock & Folk Magazine
thelightshines are ten hands bringing you psychedelia, sunshine jangle pop, sitar grooves, blues beats and heavy drones

One of the easiest ways to serve food at a holiday party is to put together a big cheese plate! It's great to have finger food, like cheese, so your guests can pick up one or two at a time instead of committing to a big plate of appetizers.
When you're picking cheese, remember to include a variety of flavors so there is something for everyone at the party. I used Special Reserve Extra Sharp Cheddar, Vintage White Medium Cheddar, Colby Jack and Hot Habanero Jack for my plate. Cut them into a variety of shapes and sizes (using a cookie cutter on Tillamook Slices adds a fun touch!) and arrange them in different patterns on the tray. I like to add a few larger chunks of cheese so people can cut off more pieces with the smaller pieces are gone. This saves you from having to constantly replenish the plate.
I love to throw a few unexpected details on to my holiday cheese plate, like a drizzle of honey on the spicy Tillamook Hot Habanero Jack or a couple pieces of chocolate to round out the saltiness of the cheese! Add in as many of your favorite finger foods that pair well with cheese as you like. I used grapes, small pieces of apple, walnuts, chocolate and honey, but have fun and add anything!
Alongside the cheese platter, remember to have crackers and/or bread. It's also great to have variety here too, maybe even throw in some gluten-free crackers for your friends with food allergies!
What are your favorite cheese plate additions?

Dead Space? Turn It into a Mini Office
Unlock the hidden potential of forgotten space by turning it into a mini office. Unused spaces like the corner of a bedroom or living room, a nook, under the stairway, or a dead-end hallway, can be more than dead space to hang wall decor. Wall-mounted desks, secretary desks, or built-in secretaries can turn any area into a mini office. Extremely functional and compact, these versions of the classic secretary hide office clutter in a snap.
These five great secretary desks remind us that small things can pack a punch and turn dead space into useful space. To highlight a couple of unique qualities, number one is built directly into the wall, much like built-in shelving. Number two is the most compact of all the examples. This light, steel variety mounts directly to the wall and is modular, giving it many possibilities for clustering. Number three also includes an optional cabinet for the top, adding potential as a China cabinet or television armoire.
Here are five great examples of secretary desks from spartan to splurge!
(Shown above the jump, from left to right)
1. Example of a built-in secretary desk, $(Consult local contractors for pricing) from Martha Stewart
2. Ikea PS Laptop Workstation, $59.99 from Ikea
3. Hemnes Secretary Gray-Brown, $299.00 from Ikea
4. Butler Secretary Desk-Signature Home, $662.00 from Homelement
5. French Key Dark Oak Secretary, $3,748.00 from Layla Grayce

Did you miss Manic Monday Linky Party? Want to get in on our HUGE GIVEAWAY week – and go leave an entry to win a Jelly Roll of your choice from Fat Quarter Shop? FOLLOW THIS LINK!!! There are loads of ways to win this week!
So you want to get in on the hexie fun bandwagon? I don't blame you. These little babies are sooo addictive – they're perfect for when you're waiting at the doctor's, watching telly, ignoring your screaming kids, that kind of stuff. (My kid doesn't scream anymore, thank goddess, but she frequently asks to buy apps on her iPod. Ugh.)
Anyhoo, I'll get you started, ok? First of all, you'll need to cut out your hexies, both paper and fabric. I use these Clover templates, tracing the 'inner' hexagon onto paper, and the 'outer' onto fabric. Then I cut them all out.
Now I'll show you how to baste them:
Take a paper hexagon and a fabric one. Fold over one of the sides of fabric and secure with a paper clip:
Cut a length of thread about 12" long, and make a big knot in one end, leaving a tail of about 2". I knot mine 3 times in the same place. Thread the other end onto your needle, then fold over the adjacent side of fabric while holding it in place with your thumb:
And make a stitch through the layers to keep it all together. Then go back and do another stitch because we're paranoid and want the sides to be held firmly:
If you are making large hexies, you can add a tiny stitch in the middle of each side to ensure it all stays together:
When you have them all basted together you simply snip the threads and those tiny stitches will come out just fine.
Continue to fold and sew the edges down until you reach the first one. Bring the thread up right next to your 2" tail and tie a square knot. That's it!
For this mug rug you'll need 31 hexies. Once you have them all laid out, you can start stitching them together. I'll warn you, this stage isn't quite as fun as basting them, but you will be very proud when you get it done. And then you'll probably start another. I pressed all mine before joining them so the folds were nice and straight.
Start stitching them together in vertical rows. Simply hold them with RST in your hand and slipstitch the edges together:
Once you have your rows, you'll need to join them together. We'll do this in basically the same way. Hold the edges which need to be joined together in your hand while you slipstitch the edges. 'Lock in' the edges with a couple of extra stitches. The pictures show how to do it:
Once you get done with the first side of the top hexi, readjust the whole thing so you can stitch the next sides together, and so on all the way down to the bottom. I recommend you join them together in rows of two, then stitch the rows together.
When you are ready to baste your mug rug, take the papers out. If you put the tiny stitches in the middle of each edge, carefully snip the basting threads and gently take them out:
The other basting threads can stay in. Baste and quilt as desired. I quilted 1/4″ along the vertical seams.
Then trim the excess off with a rotary cutter. On the top and bottom I trimmed the very top ones in half, but on the sides I just cut off the outside angle:
Now you just need to bind it, and I have a tutorial for that too: SewHappyGeek binding tutorial. And if you make one, I'd be thrilled if you add it to the SHG Flickr page!

Otis Library and Mystic Aquarium finalists for national awards
Otis Library in Norwich and the Mystic Aquarium are among 30 finalists for the National Medal for Museum and Library Service awards, the nation's highest honor for libraries and museums.
Five libraries and five museums will be announced as winners April 24 by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the primary federal funding source for these institutions. Fifteen libraries and 15 museums were announced as finalists Monday. Other Connecticut finalists were Hartford Public Library and Mattatuck Museum in Waterbury.
"Museums and libraries serve as civic engagement centers, providing invaluable educational, social and skill-based resources to their communities," said Susan Hildreth, director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services, in Monday's press release. "The 2014 National Medal finalists have gone above and beyond to create an environment that allows individuals to learn, play, connect and remain curious."
Winners will receive the awards May 8 in Washington, D.C.
Otis Library Executive Director Robert Farwell announced the finalist designation to about 25 staff, city officials and library supporters Monday morning in the library atrium. Farwell thanked the staff and volunteer supporters for elevating the library to the status of national recognition.
Other library finalists include the Los Angeles Public Library, the Sacramento Public Library and Chicago Public Library.
"So we are in elite company here," Farwell said, "even though we are not an elitist institution."
Farwell said winners will receive a $5,000 award, which he said he would use to fill a busload of supporters to attend the awards ceremony in May.
The award recognizes institutions for "significant and exceptional contributions to their communities," the institute's finalist announcement said. Including 2013 winners, 132 institutions have received the award, now in its 20th year.
Kerry Bannon Garofano, corporate and foundation relations manager for Mystic Aquarium, said the aquarium was "excited and thrilled" to be nominated for the first time for the national medal. Board member Rodney Butler nominated the aquarium.
Bannon Garofano cited a variety of programs at the aquarium and in the community that stood out in the nomination, including an outreach to schools throughout the region and the Community Classroom program at Stonington High School.
"It's a blend of what we offer on site at Mystic Aquarium and what we do off site," she said. "We go into schools and do educational programs."
U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney, D-2nd District, nominated Otis for the award, and Farwell said library officials were working on the nomination "simultaneously" with the congressman's support. The Norwich Community Development Corp. and library supporters William Kenny and Elanah Sherman, who organizes art and photography exhibits at Otis, sent letters of support.
"In both cases, these are institutions which provide resources that do so much to make our population aware and informed about issues," said Courtney, reached on the phone Monday. "The aquarium is a world leader in research, with the Robert Ballard institute, and Otis Library is one of the underappreciated gems in our area. We're very excited that the quality level is recognized."
Farwell credited several programs at Otis that stood out in the award nomination, including its work with Norwich public schools, internship programs for students at Norwich Free Academy and Three Rivers Community College, and programs for senior citizens and recent immigrants. Otis also has been an advocate of Norwich's renewed community policing program.
At the close of Monday's press conference at Otis, staff handed out business cards announcing Otis as a finalist for the national Medal for Library Service and asking patrons to go to the institution's Facebook page and post comments of support for Otis.
In its announcement Monday, the Institute of Museum and Library Service encouraged finalists to "share their story" on the IMLS Facebook page, www.facebook.com/USIMLS.

Write a hybrid mobile app (Iphone, Android, ..) for item scanning
Presupuesto €8 EUR
I need someone that can develop a professional looking app that will work on the most common platforms (Ios & Android required, Windows etc if no extra cost)
Main idea would be to write a hybrid app (Cordova, Ionic) but the developer can suggest another approach.
The backend is already handled and the interface would be given for easier testing.
The idea of the app is to scan a barcode (you will be provided with an SDK that does this for you), to connect to the backend and to display retrieved information on a screen (1 picture, some small text and a list). From this screen a button will exist to place the item on a list.
The image and details of the item need to be cached for the next time.
A button will be added where the user can share the item details through social media (eg sharekit)
Another screen needs to be made where the user can make and send a photo of the item and enter updated details in order to send this to the backend.
Further, the user will need to sign up using authentication providers (Google, Microsoft, Facebook) when opening the app. The user also needs to be able to share this list with a certain contact (through these authentication providers)
Graphics like splash screen and logo will be provided. Icons to be made yourself.
Mockups and further details will be shared after agreement on the price. Any information missing to make a correct price: please ask.

Wireless Carriers Quietly Admit New 'Price War' With T-Mobile Doesn't Really Exist
from the sorta-kinda-competition dept
In reality, prices steadily continue to go up as carriers cut prices on some services, but raise prices elsewhere or redesign pricing entirely to recoup any losses. While you might now save money on voice and text under AT&T and Verizon's new shared data plans, for example, you'll now pay more money for data and to simply connect your phone to the network. While you'll no longer pay a subsidy on your phone or sign a contract, you might wind up paying more for one of the carriers' new handset early upgrade programs or get dinged by a random new fee. That's not to say that a lot of what T-Mobile is doing competitively doesn't benefit users, but price competition is still intentionally being kept to a minimum by all parties involved in contrast to the press narrative.
As such, it's amusing to see T-Mobile's CEO busily playing rock star and professing to love cutting prices, while the company's CFO quietly admits they're not actually interested in a price war:
"T-Mobile raised the cost of its core unlimited data plan on Friday. The carrier says it has been competing more effectively by doing away with subscriber "pain points" like service contracts and international data fees. But its executives have also been signaling that they don't plan to start a price war. "When you really analyze a lot of the pricing moves that have been made, there has not been a significant repricing," (T-Mobile) Chief Financial Officer Braxton Carter said at a Morgan Stanley conference last week."And Verizon, despite T-Mobile's supposed waves in the sector, similarly admits they're not really seeing things all that differently:
"I think it is interesting given my years in the industry, how you hear things like price war and all that being kicked around in the media today and this is really nothing different than we have seen over the last couple of decades," Verizon Chief Executive Lowell McAdam said on a conference call last month."That's not too surprising, as Verizon has a vested interest in assuring stockholders things are fine, and they've long argued their superior network is ample justification to refuse to compete on price. In contrast, T-Mobile wants investors to see the company as disruptive, but investors also know that a price war will greatly hamper efforts to improve T-Mobile's greatest weakness: much smaller overall network coverage.
Still, the fact companies are allowed to pick and choose when they actually get to engage in a price war is pretty telling about the state of competition in wireless. Despite the ample press coverage T-Mobile is generating, AT&T and Verizon together control about two-thirds of the retail market (and the resulting profits), they've cornered most of the available spectrum, and they control roughly 80% the "special access" market (they lease point to point connections that power all other services). Carriers have enjoyed some absolutely amazing profit margins on wireless for years (SMS, which costs carriers virtually nothing to provide, being just one example), and absolutely nobody wants to kill the cash cow.

Hey guys. New to BrikWars and right now I don't really have the patience to look through the full rules book. I like to keep my war games simple, and to watch minifigs lose their limbs for the dumbest of reasons. Maybe I'll take a look at the full rules in a week or two, but for now I have a query.
I was playing a quick round of Quikwars last night and an issue came up that I had to make a fudged solution to. When riding a horse and are attacked, do you use your own armor rating or that of the steed? I took a quick look at the full rules for horses but couldn't find an answer there. Anyone know an easy way to determine which armor roll to use? I was thinking somewhere along the lines of: If a unit attacks the steed/unit from the front, he is attacking the steed and that unit/steed must use the steeds armor dice. If the attack hits the steed dies and the unit falls off the steed. If a unit attacks the steed/unit from the side, it may choose to attack either the steed or the minifig.
Any thoughts on the subject?

Hope this can tie me over until December now!
How're you going to work if you're all tied up?

"I decided that I wanted to make movies that would uplift people." - Jim Carrey
whoo hoo!
hey just say bewitched... and i think Jim would have done a WAAYY better job.. none the less.. i don't know how trailers work from state/city to state/city.. but they HAD HIS TRAILER!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i screamed out Jim and people stared....good times! it was right after the RENT trailer!! which looks AMAZING TOO!!! so yeah!!! YAY FOR HIS NEW MOVIE COMING OUT!!!!
this concludes our broadcast day
"I don't know how to define myself and hopefully i'll never find out."
~ Jim Carrey
I think once again, Jim has cornered the market on how we feel inside--ever wondered what would happen if you robbed the local Wal-Mart when you can't pay the gas and electric bill, watered down the shampoo and cut open the tube of toothpaste to wipe out the last remnants of...? Ok, yeah, me neither.....no, really..........
Can not wait to see it!!

I caught the rerun of Will Ferrell on SNL the other night. Where he sings "On a Clear Day" and pees himself.
He said they should've changed Darrens midway through the movie and not said anything like they did on the TV show...."but they never listen to me."
It was funny.
"When in doubt, tell the truth."
Mark Twain
I saw Betwitched last night and caught the trailer for Dick and Jane. I wasn't expecting it, so I was caught of guard when I saw Jim Carrey. The movie looks fantastic of course. Everyone in the theater was laughing. I can't wait to see it in December.
As for Betwitched, the movie was fine, but I thought that Will Ferrel was below parr. I kept feeling like I was watching SNL, not a good thing for a Nicole Kidman film. Anyway, I read in People, and here at JCO, that Jim Carrey may have done a better job in the role. There were several moments throughout the film where I could see Jim in the role, making things better of course. Will just wasn't charming or charasmatic enough to pull it off. He couldn't make the romance between his character and Nicole Kidman palpable. Jim, on the other hand.... Oh well, nothing's perfect.

Guest post from Kizito – Ed.
Qt developers often ask the following questions: Is there a porting guide to help me port my Qt apps to BlackBerry 10? What about porting Qt Quick to BlackBerry 10? How do I configure Qt Creator for BlackBerry 10?
The good news has arrived: you now have a porting guide covering the most commonly-encountered use cases. This guide provides the necessary information to developers of native mobile apps who fall in one of the following categories:
- Developers who have Qt apps written in C/C++/ QML/JavaScript and intend to have their apps running on the BlackBerry 10 platform;
- Developers who want to write new Qt C++, QML and/or JavaScript code for the BlackBerry 10 platform;
- And finally, developers who want to take advantage of the Cascades UI framework and change their existing UI to the Cascades framework.
BlackBerry supports developers in all of the above described scenarios, and so this guide provides developers with best practices for each category. It also explains why a particular practice is considered the best one.
Please check the full Qt porting guide at:

Have a suggestion for the style guide? Contact Rebecca Downing at email@example.com For answers to common questions, see our Quick Tips NOTE: All entries, in bold type, indicate lower case or capitalization as appropriate A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Punctuation - Helpful references - Proofreading tips N names. In general, follow Chicago Manual of Style guidelines unless otherwise indicated. ALUMNI NAMES. It is preferable to always list the year of graduation with alumni names. See also MAIDEN NAMES in this entry. COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY NAMES. Capitalize "college" and "university'" and other similar terms only when part of a formal name; lowercase otherwise [Colgate University, Hamilton College, California Academy of Sciences, the university, the college, the academy, the institute; Colgate, Princeton, and Yale universities]. On first reference in all stories, always spell out the proper name of an institution in full; second and subsequent references may be referenced in abbreviated forms. [Stanford University, not Stanford; California State University, not Cal State; Virginia Military Institute rather than VMI]. For correct names of colleges and universities, consult the institution's website. COURTESY/SOCIAL TITLES: Should be abbreviated at all times, following Chicago Manual of Style guidelines; however, in text, use courtesy titles Mr., Mrs., Miss, and Ms. only in the following circumstances: (1) for clarification in distinguishing among two or more individuals with the same last name, (2) for a married woman whose first name is unknown or who requests that her husband's first name be used [Mrs. James Smith], or (3) In letters to the editor (Colgate Scene) when the writer is referring to the author of another letter [In his letter published in the January Scene, Mr. Jones states that he disagreed with that assessment]. Use Professor, not Doctor, when preceding a faculty member's name, although for publications, identifying individuals instead by discipline or academic title is most preferred [biologist Jim Smith; Jody Brown, assistant professor of geography). Dr. is meant only for individuals who hold a medical degree; drop Dr. after the first reference. Also, drop Dr. if the degree is used [Dr. John Smith; John Smith, MD]. DIVISIONS, DEPARTMENTS, OFFICES, AND PROGRAMS. Uppercase when using the formal name [the Division of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Office of Admission, Department of English]. Lowercase informal names [natural sciences division, admission office, women's studies, English department]. GENERIC REFERENCES. For second and subsequent references, use generic names or terms in lowercase [Office of Admission, admission office, the office; Colgate University, the university]. GENUS AND SPECIES. Capitalize Latin generic plant and animal names and lowercase species names; italicize both. On second reference the genus may be abbreviated [Esox lucius, E. lucius]. INDIVIDUALS. Use the last name only without a modifier on second reference [Provost and Dean of the Faculty Douglas Hicks announced a new plan on Tuesday. The plan, Hicks said, would...]. The official reference source for names (and professional titles) of faculty and staff members is the Colgate University Catalogue; however, academic or professional titles should be verified with the person or department because promotions or employment changes can make catalogue entries outdated. The directory on www.colgate.edu can also serve as a reference. INITIALS. No space between two initials [H.L. Mencken]. NICKNAMES. Should be contained within quotation marks [Joe "Bubba" Smith]. A nickname should only be used in place of a person's name when it is the way the individual prefers to be known [Jimmy Carter]. MAIDEN NAMES. Use of maiden names to identify married women can take several different forms, depending upon individual preferences. For a Colgate alumna who has taken her husband's name, insert the name under which she was known as a student in parentheses [known as Colleen Jones as a student, and now married, refer to her as Colleen (Jones) Batcher '92]. A married woman who retains her maiden name should always be identified as such [Geraldine Ferraro (whose husband is John Zaccaro) is not called Mrs. John Zaccaro or Mrs. Geraldine Zaccaro]. JR., II, ETC. Not preceded or followed by a comma [John Jones Jr.; Eric Brown II (not 2nd)]. STATE NAMES. The names of states, territories, and possessions of the United States should always be given in full when standing alone or on first reference. With with city, state, constructions, use standard abbreviations as in states. Native American. No hyphen. American Indian is also acceptable; however, some use the terms interchangeably, while others prefer one over the other. In many cases, the tribal affiliation is the most appropriate term. neither. Takes a singular verb [Neither Jack nor Erin was asked to participate. Neither of them wants to go anyway.]. Must be accompanied by nor, except when beginning a sentence that follows either an express negative or an idea that is negative in sense [I have neither the time nor (not or) the money to go on vacation. The dancers did not want to change the committee. Neither was the group interested in creating new fundraising ideas.]. When used with nor, both neither and nor must be placed immediately before and after the noun or verb to which they refer [RIGHT: She told me that they gave neither money nor flowers. WRONG: She told me that they neither gave money nor flowers.]. Newman Community. newspaper names. See books and periodicals under titles (of original works or similar). nice. Overused, as in "I had a nice time." The word more accurately means "precise" or "particular." non. In general, no hyphen when used as a prefix [nonfiction, nonprofit (but not-for-profit), nonentity]. none. When used to convey no one, or no amount, none takes a singular verb, as does everyone (every one of us) [None of us is perfect. Everyone does his own thing.]. When indicating no individuals, it takes the plural verb [None of the eligible voters are present]. When the meaning is not one, it is better to use not one than none with a singular verb [Not one of the students has passed.]. noon. Preferable to 12 p.m. Also, never use the two in combination [RIGHT: The event begins at noon. WRONG: The event begins at 12 noon.]. nor. See neither. not only. Should be followed by but also [He is not only bright but also funny.]. noun-verb agreement. With of phrases, verb agrees with the noun following it [Four-fifths of the door was cut off. Fifty percent of the staff members were here today.]. numbers. WHOLE NUMBERS from one through nine should be spelled out; higher numbers are expressed in figures except in a direct quotation [There were 13 students in class today. "We saw an eleven percent increase over last year's attendance figures," he said.]. Exception: treat numbers consistently in text: if the largest number in a sentence contains three or more digits, use figures for all [There are 8 graduate students in philosophy, 23 in math, and 118 in English.]. If spelled out, the compound numbers from twenty-one through ninety-nine are hyphenated. Spell out a numeral if it begins a sentence [Seven hundred nine students entered the first-year class last fall]. Use a comma with numerals of 1,000 and higher. AGES. Always use numerals [He has a 4-year-old. Pete turned 8 on Wednesday.]. CENTURIES AND DECADES. Use numerals. Hyphenate century only when used as a modifier. Take note direction and placement of apostrophe[We've landed in the 21st century. He's still using 20th-century technology. Dad came of age in the '60s]. FRACTIONS in body copy should be spelled out and hyphenated: one-half inch, two one-hundredths. When a fraction appears with a full number, it should be expressed in figures [5 1/2 or 3.5]. MONEY. Use figures in references to money, unless in a direct quotation [The budget increased by $8 million. He spent $1 on bread. "We have to come up with sixteen dollars," he said.]. The dollar sign is usually preferable to the word; do not use both at the same time [The university invested $12 million, not The university invested $12 million dollars.]. ORDINALS. The general rule of using words versus figures applies to ordinals [He found himself in second place at midseason. Colgate ranks 15th on the U.S. News and World Report list of liberal arts colleges.]. Do not use ordinals for a date when the month is included, whether in text or as a fragment on an ad, poster, or invitation [RIGHT: I'll see you on the 9th. The meeting is on September 9. Lecture December 12. WRONG: The concert will be on January 10th. Concert January 10th, 2013]. Avoid using superscript, especially in prose, which often interferes with line spacing in paragraphs [20th century (not 20th century), 1st (not 1st]. PERCENT, PERCENTAGES. Percentages are always given in numerals, except when beginning a sentence. In body copy, spell out the word percent; use the sign (%) in lists, or in scientific or statistical copy. Note also that no space appears between the numeral and the symbol %. See also percent, percentage. PHONE NUMBERS. Use hyphens, not periods or parentheses [315-228-1000]. For any text that will be read off campus, it is wise to always insert 315 area code for campus numbers.

2009 was my first whole year of blogging. I know I didn't have many readers at the beginning of the year, so I hope this review is fun for everyone who wasn't reading a year ago. It's been hard to pick only one post from each month, especially since I was averaging around one post per day at the beginning of the year, but it's certainly been amazingly enjoyable for me to read back (while wondering how a whole year disappeared so quickly!).
Way back in January 2009, I got a new camera and took it out to play with the frost in my garden - as well as generating my first-and-favourite self-portrait (yes, my jumper matching my mirror was entirely coincidental). It's funny to read back and reflect on the days when I didn't have a 'pro' account on Flickr, and remember how terribly worried I was about spending that amount of money and whether it would be worth it.
I had my first (vegetarian) marshmallow in February, and conducted a series of culinary experiments to try and find out what I'd been missing all these years. The rocky road was definitely my favourite.
In March my husband and I went on a National Trust working holiday at Winkworth Arboretum, with the intention of learning how to coppice our woodland. As an added bonus, on our day off we had a behind-the-scenes tour of Petworth.
April was the first month I cooked Thai by myself, something I've done so many times since then that it's funny to think it was only eight months ago!
In May I learnt to sail, which was quite possibly my highlight of the entire year (at least in terms of skills-acquisition) since I'd been wanting to do it for pretty much my entire life. I was thankful not to fall in.
June was the first of a few travel-centred months when I went to Boulder, Colorado for a computational linguistics conference, and I was intrigued by the massive Greek houses at the university; thankfully a few of my blog buddies were able to shed a little more light on the mysteries of fraternities and sororities.
In July, I told you a little about one of the most fascinating aspects of the landscape on our summer driving-and-camping tour of the Outer Hebrides: the Machair, a unique coastal environment.
As much as I'd like my highlight for August to feature something from my trips to Washington and New York, I really can't escape from the fact that sharing a friend's apple chutney recipe has brought more traffic to this blog than any other post. Ever. It was also a useful way to preserve the massive apple harvest we had last year.
My thoughts in September turned to sex - more precisely, how to write about sex in an appropriate manner for any particular story. Maybe one day I'll be brave enough to post an excerpt for your thoughts...
In October I committed myself to learning Greenlandic, and though it's slow progress, I am progressing ("Qanoq ateqarpit?" "Rachel-mik ateqarpunga" and so on...).
November was NaNoWriMo, so I wrote a lot about writing, but the star of the show was certainly the green woodpecker who showed up outside my window.
Most of December's highlights were food-related, with the florentines being my personal favourite.
And that, more or less, was my year, though I haven't even mentioned our anniversary weekend in Brussels, various short trips within the UK, or any of my now-favourite soup recipes. There was more, of course - there's always much, much more than even makes it onto the blog. It was a very full year... but I've no reason to suspect 2010 will be any less hectic. Shall we go and find out?
Happy New Year everyone!

BRADENTON, Fla. – Taking part in a four-event meet that was held in a 50-meter pool and scored using an invitational format, the MIT women's swimming team took on a squad from the State University of New York at New Paltz as part of its winter training trip in Florida on Wednesday. When the final numbers were calculated the Engineers finished second to the Hawks by a 211-109 score.
Sophomore Katelyn Rossick (Middletown, Md.) had a strong showing for the Engineers, posting top-10 finishes in all four events. Her top finish was a third in the 50 Back with a time of 36.90. Freshman Jane He (Yardley, Pa.) was close behind in fourth, touching home in 37.10. Senior Qing Li (Shoreham, N.Y.) was also in the top-10 for MIT.
Junior Anna Kokensparger (Omaha, Neb.) also had a strong day for the Engineers, winning one race and finishing sixth in another. She picked up her victory in the 50 Breast, putting up a time of 40.20. Rossick was fourth in that race with her time of 41.80, with sophomore Chelsea Finn (Pleasanton, Calif.) also getting a top-10 finish.
Kokensparger and Rossick were also the top two finishers for MIT in the 50 Fly, with Kokensparger taking sixth with a time of 34.80 and Rossick right behind in seventh with her clocking of 35.00.
Rossick completed her day as the top MIT finisher in the 50 Free, coming in sixth in 32.20. Freshman Georgia Van de Zande (Raleigh, N.C.) was the next Engineer to finish, placing eighth with a time of 32.30. Kokensparger and freshman Daphne Sun (East Windsor, N.J.) rounded out the top-10 in the race.
MIT will return to dual meet action when it hosts Colby College on January 14 starting at 3:30 p.m. in the Zesiger Center pool.

SCOTCH PLAINS/FANWOOD, NJ – The fourth annual Martin Luther Day of Service for Scotch Plains and Fanwood was filled with volunteers and projects, led by the slogan "Make it a day on, not a day off!".
"We project that we had around 500 volunteers this year," said MLK Day co-chair Michelle Abraham. While last year there was an estimated 1,000 volunteers, this year's activities had to be curtailed due to the fact that school was in session in the morning, making up for time lost during Hurricane Sandy.
Michelle Abraham was instrumental in organizing the first MLK Day of Service four years ago, where she opened the event with the following comment: "Martin Luther King taught us that we are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny, whatever effects one directly, affects all of us indirectly."
This year Abraham was joined by co-chairs Amanda Barnett and Courtney Agnello. The Ministerium was represented by Rabbi Joel Abraham, publicity – was handled by Lisa Weisser and Jeanne Ziobro, and committee members included Joanne Sprague (YMCA), Michael Goldstein (JCC), Leland McGee, Jim Meyer, Penny Harmon, Amy Winkler and Tashira Wheeler.
The Fanwood/Scotch Plains YMCA was the starting point for many volunteers. The day started with a lunch hosted by Nick's Pizza of Fanwood, giving everyone the fuel they needed to complete their activities.
Residents joined Scotch Plains Mayor Kevin Glover and Councilman Lou Beckerman in finding out what volunteer opportunities were available.
There were many organizations who participated in the event, including Best Friend Dog and Animal Adoption and Homefirst.
Best Friend Dog and Animal Adoption, Inc. is located at 1750 East Second Street in Scotch Plains. It is a non-profit, all-volunteer organization "dedicated to giving dogs and cats a second chance at life." They are currently in need of donations to restock their thrift store. Items needed include jewelry, small furniture, antiques and collectibles and clothing. They can be reached at (908) 322-2502. They are online at bestfriend.petfinder.com.
Homefirst is in its 26th year of operation. Located at 905 Watchung Ave. in Plainfield since 1986, the building is home to Family Support and Youth Success Center. "Homefirst delivers comprehensive solutions to homelessness by providing transitional and permanent housing, homeless prevention assistance and family support services to strengthen families and build communities." They can be reached at (908) 753-4002 and www.homefirstinc.org.
Participants are encouraged to send their reactions and comments to firstname.lastname@example.com along with any photos. And, of course, the MLK Day Committee is already beginning thoughts and plans for the next annual event – let them know what you would like to do next year!
