Over the years, BoatTEST.com has extensively tested each of the joystick systems that Mercury has developed. We have consistently been impressed by the control and sensitivity as well as the human interface aspects that Mercury has achieved. The company's new system does not disappoint, and we think owners of large offshore outboard-powered boats deserve the same equipment options as their sterndrive and pod-drive peers.
The Mission of "Joystick Piloting"
The primary purpose of Joystick Piloting for Outboards is to increase the control and ease of maneuverability in close quarters and when docking for both skilled and less experienced boaters on larger outboard-powered boats. But this is more than a docking system; with its waypoint sequencing feature engaged, the boat can be operated at cruising speeds and the course can be adjusted with the joystick or control pad.
Mercury designed the system mainly for boats over 30' (9.14 m), but may be used on some shorter boats, and includes many of the same features offered in the Zeus pod drive and Axius sterndrive systems.
Currently the system is available only in conjunction with the new unique Verado 250-hp and 300-hp engines.
All Designed By Mercury Marine
All the components -- both hardware and software -- have been designed by the team at Mercury. In this way, Mercury is able to integrate the new components seamlessly with other systems that have been around for years. Since all parts of the system are controlled by Mercury, they have complete control – and responsibility – for the smooth and reliable operation of all components.
How it Works
For this system, the engines have a modified steering actuator which allows each Verado engine to act independently. One can be turned to port and be in forward gear, and the other turned to starboard and in reverse. There is no tie-bar forcing the engines to move in tandem.
As a safety feature, the joystick mode can be engaged only when all engines are in neutral. If for some reason the captain wants to switch back to regular throttle control, all he needs to do is move the main throttle out of neutral and the joystick will disengage.
The Black Box. The "thrust vectoring module" is the main component, essentially a computer that contains the software that translates the joystick input into the proper commands to control engine rpm, gear direction, and steering.
Joystick Does it All. All the captain needs to do is move the joystick in the direction he wants the boat to move. Since the controls are proportional, the further the stick is pushed, the faster the boat moves in that direction.
A boater can slide a boat sideways, accurately move it diagonally, spin the boat on its own axis – or do all three almost simultaneously. Obviously this can be extremely handy in marinas with limited space with a strong current or cross wind. Most importantly, the boat can actually be steered and controlled with only one hand.
For beginning boaters, it takes the confusion – and stress – out of puzzling out how to move the controls for the effect desired. It also gives peace of mind to dad when the kids are handling the boat.
One-Hand Operation. The top of the joystick (high-hat) also moves and can be twisted. Twist it clockwise and the boat will spin to starboard on its axis. Twist it counterclockwise and the boat spins to port.
No Bow Thruster Needed
During testing the team at Mercury determined that they could achieve all their desired maneuverability without a bow thruster. Not having a bow thruster is a huge positive in our opinion, because it reduces cost, complexity, problems, and two large holes in the hull.
Eliminating the bow thruster also puts an end to the embarrassing noise that comes with it, alerting everyone in the marina of the boat's arrival, and possibly to the skipper's lack of docking expertise.
Major Features and Functions
Skyhook. "Joystick Piloting" also integrates with Skyhook, Mercury's trademarked feature which utilizes GPS along with an autopilot to hold the boat in a fixed position. With Skyhook turned on, when wind or current attempt to move the boat, the Mercury system automatically makes constant adjustments to not only hold position, but also to hold heading as well.
Auto Trim. When the joystick is engaged the system automatically trims the engines for their optimal position.
Cruise Control. Because Joystick Piloting is compatible with VesselView the Cruise Control feature can be used.
Waypoint Sequencing. Simply chart a course, engage the "Waypoint Sequencing" function and the Joystick Piloting system will follow directions to steer the boat to its programmed destination. While this is an important feature, we caution that this is no substitute for an engaged skipper making sure the course is clear and unobstructed. Rather, this feature is designed more to ease navigation chores and distractions for the skipper while underway.
Slower-Speed Docking. The "Dock" button on the Digital Throttle and Shift (DTS) pad cuts the engine rpm back, making docking even more assured and controlled.
Auto Heading. The control system uses an integrated electronic compass to lock in a heading, thus keeping the boat on course. One-degree changes in the heading can be made by moving the joystick left or right. Ten-degree adjustments can be made from the control pad.
Control Pad. This pad allows the skipper to activate any of the piloting features, or make course corrections as mentioned above, in 10-degree increments.
Handles Triples and Quads
Mercury knew the system had to work with triple and quad engine configurations as well as with twins. In some four-engine configurations, the two port engines move in unison as do the two starboard engines. The precise control calibrations for each boat will be based on the spacing between the engines. In some cases only the outer engines will move while the center two remain stationary. In a triple set-up, the middle engine remains centered or moves to port/starboard depending on what is needed to optimize movement, while the outer engines move independently.
Yes, a boat can be retrofitted with the "Joystick Piloting" system. Since the design does not require any modification to a boat, any boat large enough for twin, triple or quad 250 or 300 Verados is a candidate for retrofit. However, only new model Verado 250s or 300s can be used with the system. Older Verado engines cannot be retrofitted with the new control system.
With so many recreational boats being powered by large outboard engines, this system should have a significant positive impact of the quality of boating for those owners. For example, not only center consoles and walkarounds, but also large outboard-powered express cruisers can now provide all the advantages of joystick control.
For boaters who have wanted to move up in size, but may have thought their skills would limit that, Joystick Piloting will be a welcomed solution.

Guthrie pitches Royals past Tigers for sweep
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Jeremy Guthrie became the latest Kansas City pitcher to give the Tigers fits.
Guthrie pitched effectively into the eighth inning and Alex Gordon homered to lead the Royals over Detroit 2-1 on Thursday night for a three-game sweep.
Kansas City roughed up Justin Verlander in the opener and won all three games by one run.
"Close ballgames, high intensity in the ninth inning, so it was a good team win — all three of them," Gordon said.
Prince Fielder had three hits for the slumping Tigers, who remained three games behind the first-place Chicago White Sox in the AL Central. The teams begin an important three-game series Friday night in Detroit.
Royals rookie Kelvin Herrera worked around a walk and a single in the ninth to earn his first career save, coaxing slugger Miguel Cabrera to ground into a game-ending double play.
"We scattered a lot of hits," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "We couldn't get the big hit. We got hits to lead off innings and couldn't do anything with them. We got two-out hits and that ended it. We certainly had enough hits and we had a chance there at the end."
Guthrie's big effort came one night after teammate Bruce Chen beat the Tigers 1-0.
"Guthrie and Chen did a great job the past two nights, especially against this offense. It's pretty tough to do, to shut them down to one run in 18 innings," Gordon said. "Our bullpen came in and did the job again. The home run was a key at-bat and gave us the win."
Guthrie (3-3), who did not give up a hit to the White Sox until the eighth inning on Aug. 19 in his previous Kauffman Stadium start, held Detroit to one run on 10 hits — nine of them singles. He walked none and struck out three.
"The biggest thing was I was able to keep nine of them to singles and just allow the one extra-base hit. That was kind of the big key in allowing the hits, but not the runs," Guthrie said.
Guthrie has made eight starts for the Royals since they acquired him in a July 20 trade with Colorado for left-hander Jonathan Sanchez. He is 6-12 overall.
"Spectacular pitching again by Jeremy Guthrie," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "Great defense, a huge double play to end the ballgame. We had a couple of opportunities to add on, but two runs was enough."
Gordon hit his 10th homer leading off the sixth and extended his hitting streak to eight games.
The Royals loaded the bases with none out in the fifth, but converted that into just one run. Mike Moustakas doubled to start the inning and Jeff Francoeur singled on the 10th pitch to snap an 0-for-19 streak. After Eric Hosmer walked to load the bases, Johnny Giavotella's groundout to shortstop Jhonny Peralta scored Moustakas.
Rick Porcello (9-10) lost his fourth straight start, giving up two runs and eight hits in five-plus innings. He struck out four and walked two.
The Tigers snapped a 17-inning scoreless drought with a run in the eighth when one-out singles by Fielder and Delmon Young chased Guthrie. After reliever Tim Collins struck out pinch-hitter Jeff Baker on three pitches, Peralta delivered a run-scoring single.
"My best? No, but I was able to throw strikes and work ahead in the count," Guthrie said. "I was able to make good pitches after I made some mistakes to get baserunners."
Detroit went 1 for 11 with runners in scoring position and stranded 11.
"We didn't have a lot of runners in scoring position. We just haven't been able to hit a double with guys on. We can't get that gapper," Leyland said.
NOTES: CF Jarrod Dyson was held out of the Royals' lineup with a sore right shoulder. … Tigers first base coach Tom Brookens missed his second straight game for personal reasons, but is expected to rejoin the club Friday in Detroit. … Tigers RHP Doug Fister, who missed his previous start with a groin injury, will return Friday and start against the White Sox. Rookie LHP Drew Smyly, who has made 16 starts, moves to the bullpen with Fister back in the rotation. RHP Jake Peavy will start for Chicago. … Rookie LHP Will Smith will start for the Royals in the series opener Friday against Minnesota. The Twins will counter with RHP Cole De Vries.

Ray Kurzweil, inventor, entrepreneur and futurist who is a key innovator in the development of artificial intelligence and radical life extension, kicks off the 2008-09 Caroline Werner Gannet Project at Rochester Institute of Technology on Sept. 17. Kurzweil will present "The Singularity is the Near: When Humans Transcend Biology," an adaptation of his best selling novel of the same name, which is also being made into a motion picture.
According to Mary Lynn Broe, Gannett Professor of Humanities and director of the Gannett Project: "Ray Kurzweil is a real visionary, one of the leading voices in predicting the impact of accelerating technology on health, longevity, invention and business in our 21st century. We are delighted to have this 'restless genius' speak at RIT."
Kurzweil is a pioneer in the fields of optical character recognition, text-to-speech synthesis and speech recognition technology. He invented the CCD flatbed scanner and the Kurzweil Reading Machine for the blind, the first omni font, optical character recognition system. He has started 10 companies, including Kurzweil Computer Products, which was purchased by Xerox, and authored five books.
As a futurist, Kurzweil correctly predicted the explosion of the Internet and the use of computerized, intelligent weapons systems. He is a member of the National Inventors Hall of Fame and received the National Medal of Technology from President Bill Clinton in 1999.
The Caroline Werner Gannett Project was created in 2006 to explore new intersections of the sciences, technologies, social sciences and humanities for the educational and cultural enhancement of RIT students and the broader Rochester community. The Project brings in noted scholars, authors and artists for a series of lectures, colloquia and workshops related to innovations across different disciplines. An elective course, "Visionaries in Motion," will be offered in 2008-09 in conjunction with the series through RIT's College of Liberal Arts and the Honors Program.
"The new course, open to students at all levels, is a rare opportunity to learn more about and interview a slate of world-renowned scholars and artists who will visit RIT this year as part of Gannett's 'Visionaries in Motion' series," adds Broe.
For more information about the Caroline Werner Gannet Project, including a full listing of the 2008-09 schedule visit www.cwgp.org. All Gannett events are free and open to the public.
WHAT: Kick Off Event of the 2008-09 Caroline Werner Gannett Project

Wikitravel talk:Using discussion pages
So, talk pages can really benefit from having the table of contents going, especially for long and disparate arguments.
I'd like to suggest using a section header:
==These are two cities== These are actually two cities. --Somebody No they're not. --SomebodyElse Yes they are. --Somebody
to separate this stuff out, instead of the four-dash horizontal rules. This is also how the "Post a comment" feature works, so it'd be nice to be synched up. Any objections? --Evan 14:35, 21 Dec 2003 (PST)
Missing link to Other languages[edit]
There is a missing link for a City I am working on in the left column Other languages. How can I add this missing link ? Thanks —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DBHS Cambodia (talk • contribs)
I am a newer to wikitravel. I like the style of WikiTravel. I know that Wiki is a part of so-called web 2.0. Therefore, I am not sure that whether I can read any new item in wikiTravel through RSS viewer. If yes, what is RSS URL for wikiTravel. Thanks!
A Free Overnight Option From Tokyo to Sapporo for Japan Rail Pass Holders[edit]
sorry I am new too. I read wiki about Sapporo and need to know this free overnight option because I plan to visit Sapporo in July. Would somebody explain to me how to get there "free overnight" from Tokyo to Sapporo in detail by using Japan Rail Pass? I got the timetable from Iko's place website, two express trains only run until midnight. Thaks for your help.
avatars/userpics for easier scanning?[edit]
I wonder why we haven't implement placing avatars (small pictures) next to user's comment in talk pages--similar to Livejournal's comments page: [1], or http://wow.ya.ru: http://anatolix.ya.ru/replies.xml?item_no=2072&parent_id=2101&with_parent=1#reply-Anatolix-2101. I believe it can make pages read much easier. Personally it takes extra effort to distinguish which phrase belong to which person, and where one comment ends and another starts.
It could look something like this: (assuming there's photos or user-chosen avatars instead of these pics--and of course we should allow only square, equal-sized images)
I think we can implement it with a template call like {{user|DenisYurkin}} which can be invoked as a default signature. --DenisYurkin 04:23, 25 October 2008 (EDT)
Talk notification suggestion[edit]
Swept in from the pub:
I wonder if it wouldn't be productive to make a new user's first talk page notification somehow more obvious than just the little red dot. If you are a long time contributor, you've probably experienced many cases where a new user is contributing things which fall outside of our guidelines-- you revert their changes, they continue to add them, you leave a message on their talk page but they seem to never notice it. New users may not realize that we are an interactive community that works in real time, and may even be frustrated at seeing their contributions disappear, not having realized that an explanation was already given them. Anyone have any thoughts? Texugo 11:56, 30 November 2008 (EST)
Yah! edmontonenthusiast [ee] .T.A.L.K. 12:21, 3 December 2008 (EST).
Page discussions[edit]
swept from pub:
I'm seeing a quite a few discussions recently on additions/reversions taking place on user's talk pages. I think the regulars here (and others) should make an effort to make sure those conversations are moved to the appropriate article talk page. It allows all intersted people to contribute and it makes a record of the discussion for later reference, which is lost if the discussion is elsewhere. --inas 04:22, 3 April 2010 (EDT)
It is best to keep conversations in the most relevant place, but lets be careful not to police others' discussions. If the discussion is on someone else's talk page, ask first if it's ok to move it before doing so, and then remember to leave a pointer to the page where the discussion was moved. --Peter Talk 21:18, 3 April 2010 (EDT)
template for inviting to discussion[edit]
Swept in from the pub & Template talk:QuestionOnYourEdit:
I frequently leave a question on article's Talk page challenging/asking questions on a recent edit of other user. In many cases I also leave a question on the user's talk page inviting him to discussion on the article's Talk.
I'd like to create a template for such invitations to discuss. What name would be best for such template? Maybe someone have a good text in hand for such a template. And--maybe any objections? --DenisYurkin 13:12, 19 December 2007 (EST)
Well, I have my reasons for preferring to discuss in the article's talk page:
Yes, there are simple cases when a newby posts an extlink or an apartment listing which doesn't meet our policy--in that cases I feel confident enough that any other pair of experienced WT eyes will say just the same as I did. I don't aim the above template for these cases--only for the former kind above. --DenisYurkin 11:49, 11 January 2008 (EST)
Archiving the contents of user talk pages[edit]
Have a look at this history: http://wikitravel.org/wiki/en/index.php?title=User_talk:FortMyersResort&action=history
and this discussion: http://wikitravel.org/en/User_talk:Ikan_Kekek#Personal_Talk_Page_Edits
I think the idea that someone can remove all content from their user talk page and put it in an archive, especially when the content is not even a month old, is absurd. What is your opinion about this? Ikan Kekek 02:22, 27 February 2012 (EST)
Revisiting this topic with two suggested policy changes:
A) It is not OK to remove comments on discussion pages that were made in good faith, including those made to user talk pages, with one exception: comments may be removed by their author if no one has yet responded to them.
B) Archives may not be orphaned. I.e., they must be linked on the page from which the content was archived.
Do either of these seem reasonable? --Peter Talk 21:48, 29 June 2012 (EDT)

They also baked chocolate cupcakes as well. The lasagna, however, was bought by the team already prepared.
The Lady Bisons spent most of the evening working in the kitchen, eating dinner with the 12 homeless people being served as part of the church's outreach program and helping to prepare breakfast for the next morning.
"Our players starting working about 5," Bennett said. "They prepared tables with butcher paper and wrote scriptures with colored markers on each table like Philippians 4:11."
The verse states, "Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith be content."
Lady Bisons' coach Frank Bennett and Adam Allen, husband of Lady Bisons' assistant coach Katie Beth Allen, spent the night and helped serve breakfast and hand out sack lunches around 5 a.m. the next day.
There were seven men in attendance as well as a family of five which included three teenage girls.
"We were dispersed among the tables," Bennett said. "It was great that our players were there to talk with those teenage girls. The father said they were trying to put together a deposit for rent for an apartment.
"One man had played basketball in Kenya. He had been in the auto industry in Detroit and was laid off. In Nashville he had worked as a fork-lift operator for Borders Books and was laid off a few months ago."
Bennett thought all of his players had a positive experience.
"It was good for the girls to hear some of the stories," Bennett said. "Our girls were really good about mingling and talking with everyone. Every single one of our girls said it was a great experience."

I am in the process of getting several computers up and running that I've had sitting for some time as I got my life together. I find myself short on time and finding a safe, secure, and slow moving operating system difficult.
This has especially been of concern for me with the certificate woes that have hit Debian, file breach with RedHat/Fedora, and general slew of issues with existing operating systems.
I've been leaning towards a BSD lately, but have discovered that they all have many outstanding bugs. Consider these links:
Current FreeBSD problem reports
OpenBSD Bug Tracking System
(Note that to view the open bugs you must click on the third button "Query PRs")
NetBSD Summary of Problem Reports in State "open"
While not all of these may necessary be remote bugs, they all contain problem that can certainly lead to stability problems. Moreover, unusual problems can often be blamed on bad hardware or unsupported software.
With these considerations, which OS should be used as a good general usage platform?
Solaris is not really an option since it is not available on many types of hardware.

How to Create the Undercut
MODERN Facebook fan Brian Jensen, a stylist and make-up artist at A Salon 7 in Reno, Nevada, shared this image on our Facebook page, and it went VIRAL! Nearly 4,000 "likes" and 900 "shares"--we knew we had to track down the how to!
Jensen, an Education Business Expert with Sexy Hair, was inspired by the summer heat. "My client loves short hair and doesn't like her hair being on her neck. So, hearing about the undercut trend lately, she kindly trusted in me and just let me start cutting," he says. "I wanted this cut to be easy for her to style, since she has naturally curly hair, yet also a style that is versatile with endless styling options. Necklines to me are key in deciding masculine or feminine styles. And hers was amazing so I knew I had to show it off."
The point in the back, he says, seemed necessary because it made her neck look elongated. "I also love the roundness in the back profile because, to me, a flat back profile screams masculinity. So I went with a beveled round shape."
Section 1: A Mohawk parting from recession to recession in a horseshoe shape, just below the crown.
Sections 2 and 3: The left front to just behind the ear and the right front to just behind the ear.
Section 4: The back.
Step 1: Take a horizontal subsection from the back parting at the nape about an 1" thick. Use a #2 guard and clipper out at a 45-degree angle.
Step 2: Drop down a horizontal section splitting the remaining section in half. Divide into 5 vertical subsections. Cutting up, start at a 45-degree angle, using the short length below, and incise up to 90 degrees. Direct the remaining subsections straight back.
Step 3: Drop down the remaining hair. Divide into three equal vertical subsections. Starting with the center, begin at a 90-degree angle and incise up to 180. Repeat with the remaining subsections directing all the hair straight back.
Steps 4 and 5: Using the same #2, shave out these sections. Connect the lower back shaved section with these ones, utilizing a classic men's barbering shape (in a C shape around the ear).
Step 6: Decide which side you want longer. For this it will be the right (when looking at her). Drop the top Mohawk section. Divide into five equal vertical sections from face to crown. Take a 1" parting vertically from the left. Using the angle created in the back, cut down, your starting point being the last section cut in the back, to a desired length. Make sure your finger angle is mirroring the angle in the back with zero elevation. Drop the next subsection and using the same finger angle, raise the section slightly above zero elevation and cut.
Step 7: Drop the right vertical section and starting with the ending angle in bak again, cut using a finger angle mirroring the angle in back and cut in a c shaping down just past the chin. Drop the next subsection and repeat using slight elevation.
Step 8: Take the middle subsection of the Mohawk parting and divide into 5 equal subsections. Starting with the back subsection, using the last length cut in back, start at a 90 and cut up out and down tapering off quickly as to not overlap the clippers part in back. Direct the next subsection back and use the shortest point cut on your last subsection as a visual reference and use the same cutting motion ending before you get to the longest length on your previously cut section. Repeat this evolving process throughout the section. This is what gives the style support for its height.
Step 9: Taking your longest side, point cut the perimeter as needed.
Using Big Sexy Hair Root Pump and Blow Dry Volumizing Gel, blow dry back and forth using the head form as your tool for volume. Then apply Straight Sexy Hair Smooth and Protect while curling the hair in various directions using a flatiron. After curled, cocktail Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Paste and Soy renewal to create a shiny, piecey texture. Finish with Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Touchable for lasting impressions with a touchable hold.
VIDEO: Inspired by Jensen's undercut from facebook.com/modernsalon, Andis Educator Rodrick Samuels recreated the undercut with an Andis SONIC+ clipper. A licensed barber and cosmetologist, Rodrick masters multi ethnic hair and founded the Profile Barbers Institute of South Carolina.

Opening Tuesday, December 4th, Gallery 1988 presents A Tribute to Judd Apatow, an art show inspired by the comedic producer. Best of all, Judd will be hosting the event, and if you're able to attend (RSVP at email@example.com) you might just see some other familiar faces.
For my contribution, I chose the infamous dodgeball scene from Freaks and Geeks. Sometimes I'll try and reference specific games and/or genres in my work. When I decided to illustrate Freaks and Geeks, I tried to think if there were any games from the 80s that had to do with high school and bullies, since that's an integral part of the show. I kept coming back to River City Ransom for the NES, and when I realized the same company, using the same graphic style, made the game Super Dodge Ball, I knew exactly what I wanted to do.
A Tribute to Judd Apatow

Joe Biden: I wouldn't want 'a real job'
Claims he was 36-year senator rather than having 'to produce' anything
Vice President Joe Biden, long known for making embarrassing verbal gaffes, echoed the cynical criticism many people levy against career politicians, stating he had stayed in the Senate for 36 years because he didn't want to get "a real job."
Biden was speaking to a Democratic fundraiser in Chicago Thursday night, when he turned to praise the work of Richard M. Daley, the city's former mayor of over 20 years.
"I never had an interest in being a mayor, 'cause that's a real job. You have to produce," Biden said, according to a White House pool report. "That's why I was able to be a senator for 36 years."
Biden was elected to the Senate in 1972 directly from the county council of New Castle County in Delaware at the age of 29. He turned 30 – the minimum age to become a senator – less than two months before taking office. Biden then served continuously as Delaware's senator until 2009, when he became Barack Obama's vice president.
Byron York of the Washington Examiner notes that Biden's remarks recalled criticism Sarah Palin, a former mayor, posited at the 2008 Republican National Convention against Barack Obama. Both had been charged with inexperience – Palin as a former small-town mayor with only a couple of years under her belt as Alaska's governor, Obama as a former community organizer with only a couple years under his belt as a U.S. senator.
"I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a community organizer," Palin said, "except that you have actual responsibilities."
Biden's comments also included an evaluation of Obama's chances of reelection against any of the Republican presidential hopefuls currently seeking the GOP nomination.
"I don't think we'll be beaten by those candidates," Biden said. "I think we'll be beaten, if we are, by something happening in the Eurozone or something happening in the Gulf, which could be difficult for us, or this barrage of super PAC money."
"But even with that I feel good," he added.

Learn the stitches, tools and techniques you need to get started with crochet! Join author and popular blogger Kim Werker as she provides step-by-step instruction for getting started — from selecting the right yarn and deciphering tricky yarn labels to properly holding your hook and working yarn. You'll love Kim's down-to-earth approach as she teaches you a basic chain stitch and demonstrates single, double and half-double crochet and the slip stitch! Learn how to work in rows, keep your crochet on track and troubleshoot rows gone wrong. Then, learn three different ways to get started working in the round and become comfortable reading patterns! Finally, combine your new skills to create a charming granny square blanket you'll be proud to display or give.What you get:
Meet your instructor, Kim Werker, as she introduces you to the world of crochet. Learn about yarn, hooks and other tools and start with the most basic crochet stitch: the chain stitch. Kim will offer advice for how to hold your hook and show you the way she tensions her yarn.
Now that you feel comfortable using a hook and creating a basic chain stitch, move on to the fundamentals of crochet: the single, half double, double and treble crochet stitches. Kim will walk you through each stitch, one at a time, and show you exactly how it is formed. Examine the anatomy of each stitch and learn to recognize and prevent common mistakes.
Build your stitches into fabric as you learn to create the foundation chain, the beginning of any piece worked in rows. Learn how to work into the chain and keep crocheting as you turn your work to create rows of beautiful textured fabric. Then, finish your first swatch as you learn to fasten off and weave in your ends.
Did your swatch not turn out exactly as you had expected? No problem. This lesson is all about discovering what can go wrong and how to avoid making the same mistake in the future. Witness how losing or adding stitches and improper hook insertion affect the shape of your fabric as Kim shows you how to fix mistakes and offers tips for keeping them from happening again.
Now that you're comfortable working in rows, expand your crochet abilities to include round projects as well! Kim will show you how to create fabric that spirals out from the center as you learn three ways to start rounds: chain ring, expanding slip knot and magic adjustable ring. Learn to increase stitches and calculate how many you'll need to add from one round to the next to create a flat circle.
Get a crash course on pattern reading as Kim takes you through the written directions for a granny square blanket and also shows you how to read a crochet diagram. Learn common pattern abbreviations and how the stitch symbols in a diagram help you visualize your stitches. Then, Kim challenges you to make your first granny square using the pattern only!
How did that granny square turn out? Need a little more help? Don't worry. Kim will diagram the elements of a granny square then walk you stitch by stitch through each round as you watch her square form before your eyes. Learn how to turn the corner and join each round, and how the granny square pattern builds on itself to create a relaxing item to crochet.
Finish your exploration of crochet with the essential techniques that will take your stitches to the next level. Learn how to change colors in the middle of a round and at the end of a row. Discover how to measure gauge so that your projects always end up the right size and learn how simple changes in the way you make stitches can create fabric with a completely different look. Finally, learn how easy it is to decrease and witness the curvy, flowing fabric that can be created quickly and easily in crochet!

USA continues to move away from "blue skies" programming: On Thursday the top-rated cable network unveiled its 2014 development slate, which includes a diverse portfolio of gritty dramas, comedy and limited-run series from name producers including Amy Poehler, Jodie Foster and Jessica Biel.
On the drama side, USA is edging away from the sunny one-hour fare that has long been its trademark. The network has ordered a cast-contingent pickup of the pilot "Stanistan," which follows the staff at the American compound in the fictional Middle Eastern country of Stanistan.
Also in the works are "Boom," about a couple seduced by life in a North Dakota boomtown; "Brand," executive produced by Foster, which follows a recovered addict and born-again preacher; "Colony," a drama about alien-occupied Los Angeles from executive producer Carlton Cuse ("Bates Motel"); "The Farm," a psychological horror series set on a family farm in the Midwest; "Control," which explores the high-pressure world of air-traffic control; and "Mr. Robot," about a gifted young programmer with a debilitating antisocial disorder.
Following the recent launch of sitcoms "Sirens" and "Playing House," USA is also continuing its expansion into original comedy. The network has ordered a pilot presentation -- i.e. a shortened pilot -- of "Difficult People," from "Billy on the Street" duo Julie Klausner and Billy Eichner, who will star as "pop-culture-loving best friends who hate everyone — except each other." Amy Poehler is attached as an executive producer.
Other comedies in development include "Love the One You're With," centered on a free-spirited woman who falls for a younger, uptight man; "Majordomo," about a struggling documentarian who becomes a personal assistant for his friend, a real estate heiress; "Moguls," a single-camera comedy from executive producer Jessica Biel following the employees of a Colorado ski resort; and "Royal," about a recently retired Hell's Angel making a difficult transition to life in the suburbs.
In line with the industrywide move toward event programming, the network is also developing two limited series, "Border Lord," described as an "origin story of the Mexican cartels," and "The Swap," about a family whose house-swap vacation to the Cook Islands turns into a nightmare.

Ben Walker writes about baseball for the Associated Press—you'll see his byline, or, perhaps, his words fairly often. Michael Wolff is not Ben Walker. Wolff is a media writer for Vanity Fair, which would never have heard of baseball were Michael Lewis not on its masthead.
Accordingly, Wolff has heard little of baseball. And, when he appeared on the BBC last week and was confused for Ben Walker, he at first hoped the anchor would soon realize his mistake and cut to another feed. But no, the anchor continued to press him as though he was Walker.
So Wolff set him straight and said he was not Walker, and indeed knew nothing of the game. Of course, the flustered presenter chap pretended as though the whole thing never happened.
Yet somehow it wouldn't surprise us if this was the most riveting baseball discussion ever to air on the BBC.

Blue Letter Bible offers several daily devotional readings in order to help you refocus on Christ and the Gospel of His peace and righteousness.
Recognizing the value of consistent reflection upon the Word of God in order to refocus one's mind and heart upon Christ and His Gospel of peace, we provide several reading plans designed to cover the entire Bible in a year.
(1.) Hebrew atad, Jdg 9:14; rendered "thorn," Psa 58:9. The LXX. and Vulgate render by rhamnus, a thorny shrub common in Palestine, resembling the hawthorn.
(2.) Hebrew hoah, Isa 34:13 (R.V. "thistles"); "thickets" in 1Sa 13:6; "thistles" in 2Ki 14:9, 2Ch 25:18, Job 31:40; "thorns" in 2Ch 33:11, Sgs 2:2, Hsa 9:6. The word may be regarded as denoting the common thistle, of which there are many species which encumber the corn-fields of Palestine. (See THORNS.)
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.

Boost downloads for our mobile game Roll Turtle
Budget $200-500 CAD
Hello there!
Roll Turtle is a cute and charming mobile game that won many awards, and has been featured in 40+ app stores, including the US appstore.
Downloads have slowdown now, and we want to boost them up a bit.
The reviews are really good, ranging from 4 to 5 stars in average on both Android and iOS stores.
We have around 4000 downloads so far across both platforms.
The original price tag for the game is 3$ USD. We recently put it on sale (1$ USD) in order to celebrate the received Golden Penguin Award and we are about to change back the price soon.
We would need a mobile app/game marketing specialist who can bring 3000 downloads to the plate. I will pay an upfront payment at the beginning and the rest at the end once the additional 3000 downloads mark has been reached.
We have almost no downloads in France, so that is a huge market we could aim.
Please, only bid if you have experience in mobile and/or gaming marketing, and that you are confident about reaching this goal.

W2E Day 2: Morning Presentations
I've resigned myself to being a day behind in blogging. I'm just too slow at organizing my thoughts to get them into an order worthy of publishing in the evenings. Better to come at it fresh in the morning.
The shift from Monday's 3 hour long workshops to yesterday's shorter presentations was pretty jarring. I kept thinking the presenters were just finishing their introduction and finally about to go into detail – and the talk would be over. So my biggest complaint about a lot of these talks is that they gave such a broad overview that I didn't really learn much.
How to Develop a Rich, Native-quality User Experience for Mobile Using Web Standards
by David Kaneda of Sencha, a company that was namedropped quite a few times by Jonathan Stark yesterday as the makers of a really high quality Javascript UI toolkit.
I expected this to overlap quite a bit with Jonathan's workshop, but I wanted to see it anyway because I spoke with David briefly afterwards and I wanted to see how his opinions differed.
He offered quite a few nuggets of info like this interesting graph: in January 2010 the breakdown of US mobile web traffic was 47% iOS (iPhone/iPad), 39% Android, 7% RIM, 3% WebOS (Palm-now-HP Pre), 2% Windows Mobile, 2% Other – so 95% webkit. (Actually David was wrong about that – if these were released in January the RIM numbers would have to be pre-Torch, so that's only 86% WebKit. For now.) Even at the height of IE's popularity that kind of homogeneity is new for the web. It means the mobile developers, unlike web developers, are free to target the WebKit-specific subset of HTML5, without worrying about, for a trivial example, including both -webkit and -mozilla namespaced CSS selectors. That's good because with limited networking, avoiding redundancy is important. I suspect it's temporary, though, as new features are added and phones diverge in which exact webkit versions they support.
(Of course, this list reflects web usage, not phone ownership: these are the phones whose users spend the most time online. Even still I was surprised to see the Pre passing Windows Mobile.)
Wow, there are a lot more Android phones than I realized. David believes a year from now the basic free phone you get with your mobile account will be a shovelware Android phone, with a touch screen, GPU, etc, and a good browser, so really rich web apps will be available to everyone, not just the high end. (But, as I mentioned above, WebKit will continue to evolve and these phones would be good candidates for lack of upgrade support.)
As I expected, David mentioned a lot of the same things yesterday's workshops did: he glossed over web storage and form validation (as well as web workers, which everybody seems to mention and then says "but I don't have time to discuss that".) He did cover, briefly, the new input types, video/audio (mentioning that video can be styled using the new CSS transforms, which stands to reason but hadn't occurred to me to try; I assume it doesn't distort the contents, that would be crazy!), meta viewport tags, CSS3 features, and the application cache manifest. That's my biggest eye-opener so far – I helped to test the cache manifest in the Torch browser, although someone else did the implementation, and when I read the spec I thought it was ridiculous and would never catch on. But all the mobile app developers here seen really excited about it. It's a huge pain in the ass to use, though, so clearly there's some room for improvement (or at least tool support.)
David then went on to talk about some glitches in the mobile implementation, which is valuable info:
Touchscreen events: apparently there is a hardcoded 350ms delay in tapping an element before the click event is fired. That's crazy sluggish! (He speculated that the reason was an attempt to allow people to cancel quickly if they touch the wrong thing, since fingers are thick and clumsy. I've seen other posts online guessing that this is to allow the user to continue and turn the click into a gesture.) David recommends working around this by binding custom events to touch down and touch up, which generate a click event immediately if the user does touch down and then touch up within a small radius. I dunno – sounds hackish and fragile to me. (I looked this up to see if it was in a spec somewhere or just an implementation detail, and all I could find was posts complaining about it on the iPhone. I'll have to check with our UI people and see if it's iPhone-specific or built into WebKit.)
No fixed elements: position:fixed doesn't work on mobile – he didn't say why, so I had to look it up. Actually it works fine to fix an item to a specific position on the page, that's just not very useful on mobile since most people want it fixed to the viewport. This makes building pages with independently scrolling areas difficult. To fix this, he again recommends writing custom touch handlers to track movement events and update content based on that – a simple implementation would just move linearly, but to match the platform native scrolling, you would need to track acceleration and add bounce at the end, which gets pretty complex.
Finally he listed some Javascript frameworks to help with mobile development:
iScroll and TouchScroll both wrap touch scrolling as described above, and contain their own implementations of acceleration.
jQTouch he described as "limited" and "hypercard-like"; I guess he's allowed to denigrate it since he wrote it. It fixes the 350 msec delay but not scrolling.
And Sencha Touch, his company's product which is in beta, abstracts all touch events to generate artifical events like doubletap, swipe, and rotate, implements independantly scrollable areas, and a ton of other features.
For deployment he mentioned OpenAppMkt, an app store for web apps, and PhoneGap again for wrapping web apps in a native shell.
David's slides and additional links are online at his site, including a lot of links to further resources. (Including a bunch I took the time to Google for myself. Oops.)
And at this point my fingers started to cramp up and my notes became much sketchier, so the rest of these writeups will be much, much shorter.
The Browser Performance Toolkit
by Matt Sweeney of YUI/Yahoo!
I was expecting this to describe a specific product, but it turned out to be a metaphorical toolkit – a list of performance measurement tools.
I thought this talk could have benefited from some more demonstration: how to read a waterfall diagram, how to use a profiler. It came off as just a list of products to check out later. It also do a lot to distinguish between them: there was a lot of, "And this has a network waterfall display which is a lot like the last one." So why should I choose this one over the last one? When somebody asked which products he personally used, Matt's answer was, "All of them," which isn't too helpful. Would have liked more depth here.
I won't bother linking to these since there are so many and they're easy to Google:
Firebug: Firefox's builtin debugger, gives a waterfall display of asset loading, and can break out each load into DNS lookup time, connection time, data transfer time, etc; also has a Javasript profiler, which unfortunately is limited because it only gives function names and call counts, not full call stacks.
YSlow: an open source Firebug add-on from Yahoo, which gives a grade on various categories of network usage and detailed stats, good for getting a high-level view of network usage.
Page Speed: another open source Firebug add-on, from Google; similar to YSlow but also tracks some runtime performance. It can profile deferable Javascript by listing functions not yet called at onload time (candidates for deferral), and displays waterfall diagrams including separate JS parse and execute times.
Web Inspector: WebKit's built-in debugger. Similar to Firebug, plus an "Audits" tab similar to YSlow/Page Speed. It includes the standard network loading waterfall, and a JS profiler which unlike Firebug's includes system events like GC and DOM calls, and does include call stacks but not call counts, just run times.
IE8 "has a robust set of developer tools", but he didn't say any more about them. IE9 has a network usage tracker and profiler which seem on par with Firebug and Web inspector, with one huge caveat: the profiler's timer is in 15msec chunks! So runtimes are not close to accurate due to rounding. At least call counts are still useful.
DynaTrace AJAX Edition is a free IE add-on supporting versions 6-8, with IE9 and Firefox support coming soon. It has the standard network waterfall, plus some nice high-level pie charts showing percentage of time spent loading various resources. Its profiler tracks builtins like Web Inspector's, and can also capture function arguments, which sounds very useful, and has the nicest UI demonstrated, including pretty-printing the source code when looking at a function (especially useful when debugging obfuscated JS).
Matt also mentioned a few online tools: apparently showslow.com aggregates YSlow, Page Speed and DynaTrace scores, and publishes the results so it's a good way to compare your page to others. But when I tried to go there I got what looked like a domain squatter, and I see no mentions of it in Google – did I copy the name down wrong? Webpagetest.org does network analysis for IE7.
Mentioned but not detailed were Fiddler and Charles (no relation), a proxy which among other things can be used to see Flash resource requests over the wire.
His final point was that, since browsers vary, you can't just use one tool and need to profile in multiple browsers with multiple tools. Which makes sense, but it would have been nice to give more detail on what YSlow or Page Speed give you over the browsers' builtin debuggers.
NPR Everywhere: The Power of Flexible Content
by Zach Brand, head of NPR's digital media group
I could have gone to the HTML5 vs Flash presentation in this time slot, but after seeing 3 variants on HTML5 in a row I figured I should see something a little different instead. Here, the head of NPR's digital media group described the challenges in getting NPR's original news reporting formatted in a way that could be used in many contexts: large screens, small mobile devices, summarized on affiliates' web sites, serialized through RSS, embedded in blogs.
This was another presentation where I would have liked to see more technical detail and less overview, but I guess there wasn't time. The talk was interesting, but didn't contain anything directly applicable to my work so I won't bother to summarize it.
I will list two important links, though:
An API for public access to NPR's news stories is at npr.org/api.
Zach promised a followup on the blog at npr.org/blog/inside
(While I'm attending this conference on behalf of Research In Motion, this blog and its contents are my personal opinions and do not represent the views of my employers. That ghost is full of cake.)
One Response to 'W2E Day 2: Morning Presentations'
re: developer tools
I still fire up windows periodically just so I can use fiddler. It's the best for analyzing server responses and especially useful when trying to hack some external api where you want to quickly simulate activity.

Neurogenesis– the creation of new neurons in the brain– was conventionally believed to only occur in the growing brains of infants and children. In the 1960s, data started appearing that showed the birth of new neurons in adult, fully formed brains. Now, 40 years later, adult neurogenesis is one of the more robust fields of study in the neurosciences.
Jason Snyder studies adult neurogenesis in Heather Cameron's lab at the National Institute of Mental Health in Bethesda, MD. Snyder's research focuses on neurogenesis in the hippocampus, highlighting the role of these new neurons in such fundamental behaviors as memory formation and learning.
In his earlier days, Snyder was a student of electrophysiological techniques for studying the brain, and admired the simple, elegant aesthetic of the technology: "I remember pasting a voltage waveform on my bedroom wall because…those curves were beautiful!"
He has a sharp eye for the compelling, unusual forms of brain tissue and uses a beautiful array of staining techniques to highlight young neurons and answer questions relating to neurophysiological results of neurogenesis.
In deciding how to crop these images and which colors to use to visually distinguish certain cells from the surrounding chaos of brain tissue, Snyder's work toes the line between a hard science goal with great explanatory value and a more artistic mentality in the science's visual presentation. The art and science go together: a stunning visual can make for a stunning revelation about the structure and function of cells and regions of the brain, and can emotionally move us with its sheer beauty, perhaps steering us towards a lifetime of studying the brain.
