LONDON (Reuters) - Jerzy Janowicz was beaten but not bowed after losing to second seed Andy Murray in the Wimbledon semi-finals on Friday.
The Polish 24th seed stunned Murray by taking the opening set in a tiebreak but the Briton found a way to handle his monstrous serve and sealed a 6-7(2) 6-4 6-4 6-3 win.
Janowicz was disappointed after losing his first grand slam semi-final but remained focused on becoming one of the big guns in the sport.
"I'm just hoping one day I'll become top 10 in the world," Janowicz, who is projected to climb to a career-high 17th in the world next week, told a news conference.
Janowicz became the first Polish man to reach a grand slam semi-final after beating his compatriot Lukasz Kubot in the last eight and he showed against Murray he is much more than just a big-server.
He moved Murray around the court skillfully and played a series of subtle drop shots, though Janowicz was not happy with his performance.
"I'm a little bit disappointed," Janowicz said. "Today I didn't play my best tennis. I think this was second worst match during this tournament. I was struggling a little bit with my serve."
Janowicz was seen talking animatedly to the umpire during the second and third sets, clearly concerned about the timing of the closure of the Center Court roof to enable the match to be completed under floodlights.
The decision was made after Murray had won five games in a row to take the third set and the Briton was clearly annoyed but Janowicz played down the controversy.
"I don't care," he said. "What I can do? I care about myself. I don't care if he was angry or not."
The 22-year-old Janowicz was able to take positives from the match.
"I'm still deep down really happy," he said. "This was my first semi-final in a grand slam, so tomorrow I'm going to be okay."

I'm not used to grabbing the attention of random men. After all, I'm a 47-year-old happily married mother of teens. And while I think I look good for my age, honestly, I'm not all that.
But last week, I hit a trifecta: three men flirting with me all within a few hours. And since I was dressed in my mom uniform, I have to believe it happened because I was ovulating.
Did you know that when women ovulate, we release pheromones called copulins? Being in the presence of copulins has been shown to make a man's testosterone levels rise. And of course, when a man's testosterone levels go up, so does his sexual desire.
First up on that day of all the male attention was the salesman at the department store. I needed to buy a dress shirt for my son and I didn't know anything about boys' dress shirt sizes. A salesman came over to help me and was able to find the right size after asking me various questions.
But our conversation wandered. And the sales guy ended up telling me that he had been married three times and that it wasn't easy to meet women in our area. He lingered a little longer than seemed necessary, but I didn't think too much of it. I was just happy to get a shirt that was 50 percent off the retail price.
My next stop was the drugstore, where I had to drop off a prescription for my daughter. The insurance is under her father's name, so I had to explain to the guy at the pharmacy that I wasn't the insured and that it was my ex-husband, which is why the address was different from mine.
After I gave him my daughter's birthdate, he said, "Oh, you aren't old enough to have a teenager!" I told him that yes, I was. But he didn't stop there. "The two of you must look more like sisters," he said.
I left there thinking the whole encounter was kind of odd.
My last stop of the afternoon was the grocery store. I was waiting at the deli counter for my number to be called when I felt someone move into my personal space. I turned slightly to my right and was surprised to find one of my local police officers, in full uniform, standing there. The place wasn't crowded so there was really no need for him to be that close. I turned to him and said, "I hope I'm not in trouble." He gave me a big smile and said, "No, not unless you did something wrong." And then he continued on with some small talk, standing close enough to me to plant a big smacker on my lips.
I was driving home from my errands, pondering what had just happened. Three men in a row acting strangely around me. Flirting! And it suddenly hit me. I was ovulating. My scent was out there. And they (unconsciously) knew it.
I thought I would put my theory to the test, so I went home and sidled up to my husband. I just stood there, having a normal conversation with him.
Within a few minutes, we were up the stairs and having a little afternoon delight. Theory proven! Mystery solved.
Have you received unusual male attention while you were ovulating?

The chairman of the Boulder Faculty Assembly at the University of Colorado said he feels a blog post written by Steven Hayward, the school's first-ever visiting scholar of conservative thought, borders on hate speech.
The day after CU Student Government leaders spoke out against Hayward's "oppressive and discriminatory" ideas, the Boulder Faculty Assembly discussed statements made by the professor and whether it should respond officially as a faculty group.
"I found this offensive, bordering on what I think most people would say is hate speech," Chairman Paul Chinowsky told the group during a meeting Thursday. "If any (other) faculty member said this, we would find ourselves in a dean's office or possibly on suspension for writing this. I applaud the students for having the nerve to stand up to this. The question is, are we going to allow this or condone this from someone in our own faculty?"
Chinowsky said he couldn't believe what he read in Hayward's blog post, titled "Off on a gender-bender," on the website Powerline.
In the post, Hayward poked fun at the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community — referring to the community as "LGBTQRSTUW (or whatever letters have been added lately)" — and expressed his discomfort and confusion with university training about how to respect a student's gender identity.
Hayward, who was not present at the meeting Thursday, has said that he did not feel he has ever made a student feel uncomfortable or unsafe in his classroom.
Will Hauptman, who is enrolled in "Constitutional Law II" with Hayward, said the professor maintains a respectful and professional classroom environment.
Hauptman added that Hayward does not promote a political agenda in class and has included the university's suggested statement about preferred gender pronouns in his syllabus for the class.
"He treats students with respect and courtesy," Hauptman said. "He has never belittled anyone's ideas or statements. Students participate frequently in class, and I think that speaks to their comfort with Hayward."
Chinowsky opened up the meeting Thursday for discussion about what, if any, action should be taken by the faculty.
The Boulder Faculty Assembly represents faculty members from all schools and colleges on the Boulder campus and is empowered by the Board of Regents to set academic policy and advise administrators.
The assembly expresses itself through motions and resolutions.
Some faculty members expressed concern that a statement of disapproval from the faculty might provoke Hayward or provide fodder for future blog posts or statements.
"The moment we come out and say something, no matter how nicely we state it, 'While we respect diversity of opinion, at the same time we have a responsibility to uphold the dignity —' as soon as we engage in this, he's going to spin this as, 'There you go, I was attacked by the liberal faculty at CU,' said Keller Kimbrough, an associate professor in Asian languages and civilizations. "I would be inclined to simply ignore this, myself."
Others expressed a desire to support the students and their views, and the university's policies in support of diversity and non-discrimination.
The university's official non-discrimination policy states that the campus will not tolerate discrimination or harassment based upon protected classes, which include race, color, national origin, sex, pregnancy, age, disability, creed, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression or veteran status.
CU law professor Aya Gruber said while she disagreed with the substance of Hayward's comments, she didn't want the faculty to become the "free speech police."
"I don't like what he said, but I want the right to say that I don't like what he said," Gruber said. "He has an absolute right to say what he wants, but along with that right, he has to expect this kind of backlash when you say things that are deliberately provocative and not very well thought out."
The assembly ultimately decided to vote on a resolution at a future meeting to voice its support for the students, but speaking for himself, Chinowsky said he didn't think that measure will go far enough.
He said if the university expects its students to respect diversity, the faculty members need to show their support for inclusion and a welcoming, safe campus.
"I don't think we should allow that behavior, even if somebody is doing it for effect," he said. "It's offensive, and there's no place for that in this community.
"We have an obligation to really support all members of the community here, and if we're not, then what are we saying to the students?"

Jimmy Spithill and his mates with Oracle Team USA were masterful in light air Sunday on San Francisco Bay, winning two races against Emirates Team New Zealand to stay alive in the America's Cup.
Oracle's 72-foot catamaran jumped to huge leads in both races and has won four straight since the Kiwis reached match point on Wednesday.
"What a fantastic day – really good racing under a lot of pressure," said Spithill. "Tom and Ben did a fantastic job when we had some key decisions to make. A day like today it really is all about the tactics. They were really under a lot of pressure a few times, but they kept their cool. Everyone stayed calm and sailed two great races."
Oracle cut the Kiwis' lead to 8-5. Docked two points in the biggest cheating scandal in the 162-year history of the America's Cup, Oracle needs four more wins to keep the oldest trophy in international sports.
"It's been a whole team effort, it hasn't been about any individuals," Oracle tactician Ben Ainslie said. "It's been about everyone come together, improving the boat, working well as a team, and working out how we can get ahead of the opposition. Whether through making the boat faster or sailing better, I think we're doing that. Having the momentum now makes the guys believe that they can go out there and win, and that we can defend the America's Cup. That's a fantastic place to be.
Oracle won Race 14 by 23 seconds and then took Race 15 by 37 seconds.
Oracle has won six of the last eight races after an awful start that led Spithill to replace American tactician John Kostecki with British Olympic star Ben Ainslie, who had been the helmsman of the backup boat.
Racing continues on Monday with race 16 scheduled for 1:15 p.m.
Emirates Team New Zealand maintains the overall lead at 8-5 in points and 8-7 in wins.
The winner of the 34th America's Cup is the first team to win nine points.
"We sailed a clean day," said off side trimmer Rome Kirby. "It was two tough races, and now we're back at it tomorrow."

As a member of the WTO since 2007 and located in the middle of fast-growing East Asia, Vietnam has earned a reputation as a smart place to invest. Its people are a major asset in attracting foreign investors: Vietnam can boast of its comparatively low wages and a large, young and hard-working labor force. Despite Vietnam's success so far, it remains to be seen whether its workforce is ready for the next phase in the country's development – to carry forward the transition from a largely agrarian to an industrialized economy. Are Vietnam's workers ready to move from low to high tech production? From rice to robots?
Several questions need answers before we can begin to assess Vietnam's preparedness:
First, do Vietnam's job seekers, especially recent graduates, possess the skills that employers seek, in particular those in higher tech industries such as IT or electrical machinery? What are the characteristics that employers are looking for in employees? Which characteristics need to be strengthened to meet employer's demands? Are they looking for practical technical skills, an ability to analyze numbers, diagrams and figures, good writing abilities? Or are they seeking leadership and managerial talent, team work or more general workplace skills such as problem-solving, strong enthusiasm and motivation? Do employers demand work experience of recent graduates for example through internships, and how important is prior work experience compared to a good degree?
Second, if job seekers do not have the attributes demanded in the labor market, what's keeping them from acquiring these necessary skills? Are job seekers unaware of what employers want or which schools are good? Are schools and universities not teaching these skills? If so, why is that?
These questions are at the heart of new research at the World Bank in Vietnam and a host of other countries around the world. The aim is to improve the understanding of Vietnam's labor market and possible skills shortages. Findings can later be used to provide advice to the Government on how to develop high quality human resources, one of the three breakthrough areas of Vietnam's socioeconomic development strategy from 2011-2020.
What we do know is this: Vietnam's population is becoming more and more educated, with near universal primary completion and fast expanding secondary and tertiary enrollments. Despite this, many employers in Vietnam say they are struggling with an insufficiently skilled work force. Little is known, however, about the skills most in demand, including by type of worker and industry. Sure, there are plenty of individual views and experiences: According to one foreign investor involved in high tech mechanical engineering in Ho Chi Minh City, "What is missing most are practical technical skills as well as thinking and problem-solving skills". He thinks schools and universities need to encourage more critical thinking and less rote learning.
We want to know whether this assessment is correct or not, and to try to figure out what it means for Vietnam's education and training system and its curriculum. Furthermore, what should young people pay attention to as they make their decisions about education and careers?
These are some of the questions that we at the World Bank in Vietnam would like to find the answers to. As we begin to gather more data, we want to first hear from you. Do you think Vietnam is suffering from skills gaps? If so, what skills do you think are in short supply? What do you think are the reasons for skills gaps? And what should the government, employers and schools and universities do about it?
Let us know what you think and be our advisers!

Vietnam is still in it's
Not only for the Vietnamese
In my opinion, Vietnamese
I am currently working in
I am currently working in southern Vietnam on a government scheme as a teacher trainer to university lecturers and high school teachers. The overarching goal is to upgrade both English language skills and teaching practices. I would echo the above opinion that critical thinking is definitely not a prized quality in Vietnam-- not even amongst the ranks of the educators themselves. Perhaps the root cause may lie with singular political thought as mentioned, but I would posit that their deep roots in Confucian thought/education systems continue to waylay tendencies to critical thinking. Individually, great emphasis is placed on memorization, repetition and testing but dreadfully little on analysis, logic or long-term (strategic) planning. In groups, communication and teamwork tends to be poor, often marred by gender/social/economic divides and a cultural aversion to confrontation. It is generally a major loss of face to disagree with or criticize another person in a public forum. The result: 1) poorly conceived ideas or flawed logic is only rarely refuted in group scenarios; and 2) a sense that "nothing is mandatory" pervades-- in a work environment subordinates or coworkers will often simply ignore requests/orders that are inconvenient. Both can be averted by strong leadership... but will that leadership ever be developed?
Based on my experience as an
Based on my experience as an English teacher here in Viet Nam from America, I see several issues based upon the fundamentals.
I see many students getting passed to the next level when they should not. Exactly why does this happen is not really certain for me. Perhaps the students are passed because the school wants to show "progress" to the parents so the parents will continue to keep their children there for in order for the school to continue making money. Sad but true; human nature and greed.
Secondly, the students are always tired. They go to primary school and then afterwards they go to an English School. On top of this nearly all get up very early due to the dynamics within their families, Many also go to bed late. Couple this with the fact that they are young and their bodies are growing (often times even lacking proper nutrition consisting of the essential minerals & vitamins which our DNA REQUIRES DAILY! ) and they are simply exhausted and fatigued while in the classrooms.
English is and will be the international language of global commerce. It is spoken all over the world and is being taught all over the world. As the world continues to 'develop' (in some regions more than others)communication will be in more demand. You cannot have a person from Korea, one from Viet Nam, another from Singapore, another from Columbia, and another from Japan all meeting in Sydney, Australia to discuss any type of subjects without first having the communication skills. One cannot have critical thinking skills unless one first understands. One can not understand unless he or she first knows the language unless one wants the results to be along the lines of building the Tower of Babel.
It also must be emphasized over and over again on how these learners are building a foundation for their futures. If they want to push around a food cart all day selling food then they need to really think (and their parents also) just why the family is spending money to learn English while others are truly there to learn.
I see a lack of critical thinking skills and most of the teaching materials do not push the students that want to learn. This is where I develop my OWN lesson plans that are more in tune with the real world.
Another matter that seems to be overlooked here is that, 'development' does not always equate to moving society and humanity forward. This can be seen in the petroleum industries, pharmaceutical industries, stock exchanges around the world, banking, quality of food free form genetically modified chemicals, etc, etc.
Viet Nam and other developing countries really need to think long and hard on just EXACTLY what they are willing inside their borders to operate and/or sell their products. Accept the good and turn away the harmful, and DO NOT be bullied into accepting certain conditions by more powerful nations or financial institutions.

Hello dear ones,
I've just posted my first freebie for you. I made a blog just so I could! (I'm also looking ahead to the blog train; it will be nice to have somewhere to post my offering.)
Inspired by this week's cut-out challenge, I decided to share the Knockout actions I use in Photoshop to create knockout text and other cut-out shapes. This is my very favorite way to do cutouts because it actually "punches" through the layers (so you can see the real under-layer showing through, whether it's a photo, a patterned paper, or even transparency - the last of which is awesome for making photo overlays, by the way). It's also fully editable, so unlike techniques where you actually do cut out your shape by deleting it from the top layer, this effect lets you continue to change and edit your cutout shape as much as you like (e.g., change the font, resize, and so on). To get the depth effect, which isn't shown in the demo pictures, just add an inner shadow following the directions in Marisa's recent tutorial.
Here's where to find it: http://eversoscrumptiously.wordpress.com/2013/01/18/its-a-knockout/ and here's an example of what I am talking about, shown with text as the cut-out shape in this case:
The word "banana" is on its OWN layer. It is not just deleted from the white semi-transparent bar or yellow heart. The text is still fully editable - I could change the word to "apple," I could tilt the word on its side, move it to a different place on the image, etc. The knockout "travels with" whatever shape it is attached to (in this case the shape is the word "banana"). Hope that explanation makes sense!
PS If anyone uses PS Elements I'd love to know if these actions work there, too. If someone would be willing to test them out (or maybe knows off the top of their head) I'd be thrilled!

7 Famous Musicians Who Stole Some of Their Biggest Hits
By: Mohammed Shariff May 29, 2012
A lot of people accuse hip-hop artists of stealing their best music. You can't get through a rap song nowadays without hearing bits and snippets of other popular songs that have been "sampled" in. On one hand, it sucks, because now your favorite song is ruined. But on the other hand, at least you have something to complain about now.
What most people don't understand, however, is that those original artists probably "sampled" their songs from someone else who had also sampled in their music, and on and on in an eternal circle of "legitimate" theft. Artists like ...

Thanks for the videos! You are right! The list they gave is far from complete.
Okay now you're just showing off Loren! LOL I love Rachmaninoff, you and Mr. Carmen have excellent taste! /ambles off singing softly... All by myself.... don't wanna live... all by myself... anymore...
You know Eric stole THAT one, too, right?
Tis why I hummed it at ya!
What's a little petty larceny amongst friends, huh? We all riff off each other anyway. I guess it just depends on the degree of the rip. Complete ripoff, variation of a theme, or inspiration. You decide.
Right Tony. I see your point.
Good artists borrow; GREAT artists Steal!
-- Pablo Picasso
And they always acknowledge their influences.
Tony, they might acknowledge it when asked ... but I've heard James Horner quote from Prokofiev, Khachaturian, and Shostakovich in multiple film soundtracks and NEVER were those quotes mentioned in the credits!
He's not the only guilty party, but he IS one of the more blatant and frequent offenders!
Everybody borrows from everybody else. I don't consider it stealing as long as they acknowledge their influences and put their own spin on the original. Dance is another genre that it happens in all the time. Check out this video of Michael Jackson and Bob Fosse

Sweeping visiting University of the Sciences, 9-0, last Friday afternoon, the women's tennis team at Chestnut Hill College ran its unbeaten streak in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference to 5-0, while raising its overall record this season to 10-1.
The closest of the pro-set doubles matches ended at 8-3 on Friday, and in singles it was straight sets all around for the Griffins, whose only loss all year was to Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
Even on a tough day at IUP, Chestnut Hill's Nastia Shcherbakova won at first singles, and the junior from Belarus has been a formidable force at the top of the team ladder all season. Last Friday, the "Minsk Marauder" easily overcame USP sophomore Sara Durham, 6-0, 6-1.
CHC won the next two singles contests by the same score, as sophomore Kelly Dennis downed visiting junior Juliet Choi, and third-year Griffin Maria Parapouras pommeled freshman Melissa White. With the exception of Durham, all of the singles players for the visiting Devils bumped up one spot, since their regular number two, junior Laney Jones, was injured in one of the doubles matches (which customarily precede singles play in intercollegiate competition).
CHC had one of its talented freshmen out of action entirely; Roxborough resident and Girls High grad Alexis Puhl was sidelined with a minor knee injury.
The Griffins' top rookie, Morgan Oechsle, posted a pair of 6-3 sets as she dispatched USP's sophomore number four, Michelle Adamczyk. Oechsle has had no problem stepping right into the line-up and helping provide the depth that is making the squad so successful this fall.
"In addition to her high school tennis, she has a tremendous amount of tournament experience," explained CHC head coach Albert Stroble. "She came in ready to compete at the collegiate level."
Junior veteran Danielle Knott nailed down a 6-1, 6-0 win at fifth singles last Friday, dropping Desiree Vassalotti, a USP sophomore. Due to Puhl's injury, Gina Doherty stepped in at sixth singles for the home team, and the junior took down Tea Cadenovic, a Devils freshman, 6-1, 6-2.
Earlier, in doubles, the Griffins' premier pair of Shcherbakova and Dennis won 8-3 over Durham and White, and in the second flight an 8-1 win was chalked up by Parapouras and Ocshle over Jones and Choi. The third doubles duel went to Knott and Doherty, who defeated Adamczyk and Vassalotti, 8-2.

- 906-487-3165
- Cell: 906-281-1230
- Director, Great Lakes Research Center Operations
- MSBA, Michigan Technological University
- BS, Biological Sciences, Michigan Technological University
As the director of operations at the Great Lakes Research Center, I get to wear many hats. I provide support for researchers to make sure their work can go off without a hitch. I also ensure our fleet of research and survey vessels are properly maintained—and enjoy lending a hand in the boathouse from time to time.
Given the interdisciplinary nature of the GLRC, no one department has ownership over the Center's resources or equipment. I serve as a liaison between departments, administration, and other stakeholders to ensure that our Center's vision to be a leading site of Great Lakes investigation is carried out. I also monitor the brick-and-mortar facility's maintenance and upkeep, and I provide tours of our Center to visitors and scholars.
My degree in biology from Michigan Tech serves me well in my position. I'm no expert, but I speak the language and am able to grasp concepts that our research team explores. I enjoy the opportunity to assist in research conducted by a wide variety of faculty and staff. On the GLRC team, I am the utility infielder; I can operate our ROVs, drive a boat, or run the travel lift. If something needs to happen, I can usually get it done. My masters degree in business has given me the training to be able to quickly analyze various deals and proposals to ensure that they make financial sense.
I have always had an interest in biology, and being part of the Great Lakes Research Center's staff allows me to work with a team of world-class aquatic researchers—an opportunity I am certainly proud to have.

Beauty is an ever booming business that will never see a lack in customers and Hairdressers In Near Me in Bryanston because women and even men will continue to go to beauty salons for a new hairdo, for a manicure, a pedicure or even a tan. So, whether there is a depression or not, women (and some men) will still go to beauty salons to have their fix. In fact, it is in stressful times that you will see an increase in customers going to Good Beauty Salons Near Me offering spa services for a spot of relaxation through aromatherapy, baths, manicures and massages.
Waxing Exam Questions - Examples for Your Revision Plan
So, if you are thinking of setting up a beauty salon, it is time that you go searching for the best ever beauty salon equipment for your business. You will need nothing but the most affordable and best beauty salon equipment to provide nothing but incomparable services to your clients.Lets take a look at the different types of services offered by beauty salons and Beauty Parlour Near Me For Haircut what sort of beauty salon equipments you will need for the services you offer at your salon. If your salon only offer basic hair styling and cutting services, you will need beauty salon equipment to cater to your hair styling needs. You should look at hair styling chairs, wash basins, hair dryers, steamers, trolleys, professional hair styling scissors set and even basic must-have furniture like mirrors, chairs, comfy chairs for the waiting area.
Types of Hair Salon Services
In the midst of searching for the right equipment to furnish your salon, although it is important to compare prices, please do not settle for cheap, low quality equipment as it could end up sabotaging your business. Lousy quality equipment could break down in the midst of a hair styling session or worse, can you imagine the bath tub leaking or the hair dryer malfunctioning and injuring a client? So, compare prices if you must but do not try to save by buying low quality beauty salon equipment.
Hairdressers In Near Me in Bryanston ?
When salons are first started and dealing with all the initial costs, sometimes you can clearly see the effect limited budget is playing on the design. Corners cut, and a few pennies saved here or there will help if you have a limited budget, but too tight a budget and you risk running off customers who would otherwise be your clients.
When you create your salon, a clean design will give you a professional look that will give confidence to your clients. Hair salon design is not helped by all the equipment usually required nearby. Clutter can be kept to a minimum by purchasing plastic bins from dollar stores and using them as cheap storage. If you have a little extra spare you could invest in some caddies instead.
Remember when decorating that white has a very clean look but can appear very institutional. On the opposite end of the spectrum black will go with anything, but is subject to picking up more smudges, smears, and dust.
For decorative touches there are numerous little tricks you can use to tweak the look of your space, from painted lattice works between work stations to clever use of mirrors to make your salon appear much larger than it really is.
Investing in some art will also help your image, since art is something that conveys sophisticated tastes and will boost the look of your salon.
You can purchase interior design books and leaf through them for ideas. Though hiring an interior designer can get expensive, the results can be emulated just as easily by someone with an eye for detail and a few examples to work from.
The most important point to remember is be creative.
4 Tips For Improving Your Beauty Salon Business
Every beauty salon has its own business forms for neat functioning. Beauty salon business forms can be computer forms or manual forms, which are used in sales or services.
Common manual forms include invoices, receipts, estimates, statements, human resource materials, credit memos, packing lists, shipping and export forms, timecards, and warehouse/receiving forms. Computer forms may be invoices, statements, proposals, bills, purchase orders, and estimates. Automotive, transmittal, appraisal, work orders, service/repair orders, and service books/register forms are the normal manual service forms. And the manual sales forms are for proposals, contracts, memos, sales books, collections, sales orders, register forms, and sales slips.
Appraisal forms for the service persons, work orders for the business, and details about the service/repair orders all constitute business forms. Business forms also include gift certificates and tax forms. Other types of forms are legal forms and business documents. Professional-looking business forms such as brochures give a detailed idea about the company and its merits.

Laurent Eschenauer mind=blown. Now itching to try to make some of these things ;)
Aral Balkan h-event with hCalendar fallback microformats.org/wiki/microformats-2#h-event
Approximately 17248 #steps today – approximate because the pedometer cut out half way through, so I'm taking the afternoon's reading and doubling it. Although most of the morning's steps count as extra anyway, as they were going up a mountain.
sandeepshetty yep, this is certainly something I need to document on the wiki.
In fact most of the machine tags were a hack to add schemaless data to my MySQL-managed schema, but as I move to flat files + ad hoc indexes I might migrate some of my machine tags to "real" data — it's not like they're doing much good where they are at the moment.
The main benefit is easy editing — I just use my tag editing UI instead of building another UI for each different bit of data.
Finally managed to get to Esja thanks to help from Arna and Brennan Novak. The view from (near) the top is pretty great:
Another website "disabling" right click and replacing it with an obnoxious "These photos are copyright" dialog. I know that. Let me right click them.
In actual fact, in this particular case, I was right clicking to determine the final display size of the image, which was less than half of the 1200x1600px monstrosity requested by the page.
sandeepshetty add .json to the end of any of my note URLs and have a look in the tags array — or in the source (hidden by default) to see how I use them. I added location data to this note so you can see the tags I use for that.
16852 #steps today
#TIL that you can put a relative URL in
<base> (via Tantek Çelik)
15071 #steps today — potentially inaccurate as the pedometer cut out in the evening, but I read 11500 before, 3071 after and estimate 500 between.
cssquirrel not separating machine–readable data from human–readable data might be a good start #microformats
10247 #steps today
11760 #steps today
Great stuff Aaron Parecki! This is an #indieweb "killer app" ;)
8382 #steps today
sandeepshetty mm, I hope they chose node.js over (for example) PHP due to it's strong points, not because of PHP's limitations. That's certainly not how it comes across in their blog post :/
Just realised that I haven't turned on the TV for a month. Instead been walking, making things, watching films, reading. Feels good.
tryghost.org looks interesting from an #indieweb point of view, but if they are so open, where is the code? Where is the CC-0 documentation? Why does clicking "Try It" pop up a modal asking you to give them money (dark pattern, much?) — if it's so open, be honest!
It'll be interesting to see how this one plays out.
Not overly impressed that gov.uk tells me to upgrade my browser when I'm on the latest version of Safari that Snow Leopard supports.

Seattle sets Guinness snowball fight record with 5,800 tossing snow trucked in from Cascades
SEATTLE – Seattle residents won a place in the Guinness World Records for the largest snowball fight.
About 5,800 people turned out Saturday at the Seattle Center in the shadow of the Space Needle to toss snowballs at one another.
More than 30 truckloads of snow were brought in from Cascades for the event, which included a snow fort building competition and pub crawl. Snow Day was a fundraiser for the Boys and Girls Clubs of King County.
A spokeswoman for the Guinness World Records office in New York says the event was witnessed by a Guinness adjudicator who verified a count of 5,834 and presented a record certificate.
Seattle beat the previous record of about 5,400 at a 2010 snowball fight in South Korea.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
We've just made this site live
We didn't immediately see how to let the user add sidebar blocks, but figured it out in the end. The more we use elefant, the quicker it becomes to work with, and the overhead on the server is miniscule compared with every other CMS.
Very nicely done. Looks great!
Guess I need to hurry up with mine so I can gain that Hollywood status!
Nice job!
Alright everyone...here goes...CSS Web Design for Dummies (which I clearly am) and then next is CSS The Missing Manual.
wokkie, nice site but on Firefox (mac) I'm seeing the main menus overlapping onto two lines...
You could try adding to:
#navigation li a, #navigation li a:visited
something like
and then maybe altering your padding to:
padding: 1em;
Also because of the big white border around the main image, the site seems to have two widths and looks a bit odd, you may want to look at that?
Thanks for pointing that out. We don't have a mac here, could you have another look now?
Yes that looks better :-) However I've now noticed that on the main menu you have a right border on the last item - but not on the left of the first. I guess it is because you are adding a border-right. It is ususally better to add border left and then remove it with the 'first-child' in CSS which is more reliable than say 'last-child'.
The odd width thing is still bugging me, I can maybe send a PDF to illustrate?
We've removed the border on the last menu item now.
You can certainly send a PDF to show us what you mean. The misalignment of the main images and the columns is by design though :).
No problem samthejarvis, I just tend to think of design in grids and when they don't align correctly it jumps out at me ;-) It is of course a perfectly good design decision to do this deliberately, apologies.
Sadly I'm still seeing the two lines of main menu in Safari and Chrome on Mac. I cannot quite see what the problem is without mocking it up and I'm in meetings all this afternoon, sorry.
The problem is most likely to do with the subpixel font rendering techniques (anti-aliasing etc) that various browser/operating systems employ.
IE9 by default uses directwrite (which for example renders Arial Bold at <14px correctly), most other browsers use GDI, an older, faster and less accurate method.
The problem is that each method can at small font sizes render different character widths.
However Macs use their own font rendering methods. I've changed how the menu items are displayed (block/float), if you get a moment could you check if the problem is remedied?
Here's a screen grab of the latest for me (Chrome on OSX):
Looks like just changing padding on line 55 of default.css to
padding: 10px 12px 10px 12px; would fix the menu:
Be careful with css selectors such as :first-child. Internet explorer is horribly lacking at support in that department. IIRC IE8 doesn't even support that.
Granted, I am guilty as anyone of using them.
Thanks jbroadway, could you check it's displaying correctly now?
We're aware :first-child and :last-child don't work in IE8, but a minor feature like this can be considered progressive enhancement.
Actually I think it is only Internet Explorer 6 that has no support for either. IE7 and IE8 both support :first-child but not :last-child, however a <!DOCTYPE> must be specified., which is why I suggested what I did.
It can be a bit buggy e.g. IE7-8 don't update styles properly when elements are manipulated with JavaScript but this doesn't apply in your case.
Looks like it's rendering correctly for me now Sam :) That's in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Opera on Mac.
Think you've got em all covered J. :-)
You could just run the browsers in some virtual machines. I'm on a Mac and have Safari, Chrome, Firefox and a few other browsers as native. Then I have virtual machines for Windows 7 (IE8-10) and Windows XP (IE6-8) and some Ubuntu and a few other UNIX variants.
VirtualBox is good, free and available for a number of platforms. Anybody else using it?
I have Virtualbox installed on one of my machines for testing purposes as well. I also have a Dell Poweredge T310 with Linux 11.04 installed natively and installed VirtualBox OSE on it with Windows as the guest. Its running a dial in dictation system for roughly 200 doctors and 3 facilities (hospitals). Pretty solid and stays running 24/7.
Sorry for blabbing...but yeah VirtualBox is a good solution. I have VMWare Fusion and Parallels as well. VMWare is my favorite of the two as far as paid software is concerned.
I just find it is faster to flip between browsers using a service like that, than to use a virtual machine. Particularly for mobile clients (A lot of what I write for work is mobile compatible stuff). Plus, if I have a virtual machine, I have a terrible habit of destroying them by trying fun things. That and my dev machine is weaksauce. It doesn't like even one VM. :( I need to build a new one.
Here's a handy (related) tool I found on Hacker News yesterday:
If you have a dev site on your localhost and need to test it on an outside device (iPhone, say), this will let you dynamically access it at a URL like http://www.255.123.12.11.xip.io/ Just change the numbers to your LAN's IP and set that as a ServerAlias in your Apache vhosts. Very handy :)
Oh yes it is! I was playing with that yesterday too.
I already have ports opened on my router and dev machine that would let me hit my machine and test stuff. But this bypasses a lot of that setup.
Just perfect. I couldn't even think of something like this to be possible. Very handy for cross platform testing. Thank you for posting this link!
I couldn't get it to work. I have a public ip address setup in my vhosts since I am hosting about 20 sites off one box and 5 statics. I'm going to play with it some more so I can check it out.
Beautiful site, wokkie.

CAMRA names the best four clubs in the country
Press Release
4th December 2017
CAMRA names the best four clubs in the country
The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) has named the best four clubs in the country as part of its Club of the Year 2018 competition, one of the most respected and well-known club awards in the UK.
Among the finalists are two Royal Air Force Association (RAFA) clubs - the Albatross Club in Bexhill-on-Sea and the Real Ale Farm in Bargoed, Wales. The Albatross was a finalist last year and took home the national title in 2016. It boasts an interesting collection of RAF memorabilia and regularly holds beer festivals and social events.
The Real Ale Farm is housed in the oldest surviving building in Bargoed, dating back to the 17th century. It offers the best range of quality beers for miles around, selected for flavour and interest and sourced from breweries both near and far. It hosts numerous charity events throughout the year.
Also in the running is the Appleton Thorn Village Hall in Warrington, a former school that has previously taken home the National CAMRA Club of the Year title for its agricultural-themed interior and local beer range. The club has recently introduced a new gin bar, which is also proving to be very popular with members.
Finally, the Flixton Conservative Club in Manchester is in the running after a recent transformation has seen an even wider range of real ales and ciders brought in. The club runs monthly brewery nights and a number of sports team and quiz events.
The CAMRA Club of the Year competition is run in conjunction with Club Mirror magazine with the simple aim of finding the clubs with the greatest commitment to quality real ale – those which offer a fantastic atmosphere, welcoming surroundings and most importantly, top quality real ale served in great condition. Clubs are nominated by CAMRA branches across the country and judged by a panel of volunteer CAMRA members throughout the year.
Keith Spencer, Club of the Year Co-ordinator said: "All four clubs demonstrate a first-class commitment to real ale and a dedication to the respective communities they each serve, making them all absolutely vital to their local areas."
Sean Ferris, Publisher and Managing Director of Club Mirror said: " Now, more than ever, clubs are proving to be at the heart of the community and we're proud to have been working with them to secure this position for the past 49 years. Next year? Our determination – and theirs – will be even stronger. We'll be campaigning and lobbying to ensure that they remain where they should be, at the heart of the community, despite so many closures in other sections of the local area."
The four finalists were presented with a commemorative plate yesterday at the Club Mirror Awards. They will now have to wait until spring next year to discover which will be named CAMRA's Club of the Year.

A most welcoming and friendly RAFA club, the Albatross was awarded National CAMRA Club of the Year in 2016 and is a consistent winner of CAMRA local and regional awards.

Additionally there are folk, jazz and quiz nights. CAMRA members are always welcome.

The short walk from Gilfach Fargoed station presents a modest but energetic climb.
Visitors are welcome but must be signed in.

The bar serves a cosy lounge and a larger function room with a pool room. Stained glass fringes the lounge while the function room is adorned with period agricultural implements. Welcoming staff will give tasters of the seven regularly changing ales, together with ciders and perries. Sunday lunches are popular, as is the new gin bar.
Nick Bosley, CAMRA Regional Director for Cheshire said: "The sign at the front says it all 'the heart of your community'. As well as its ever-changing range of seven beers and five ciders/perries the club also host multiple community events such as pre school, brownies and Yoga studio. it also hosts a popular annual beer festival in October."
Flixton Conservative Club
193 Flixton Road, Urmston, Manchester M41 5DF
With six handpumps on its main bar, this CAMRA award-winning club continues to display a genuine commitment to selling quality real ales and the occasional real cider. A further five pumps upstairs allow the club to run monthly brewery nights with a small entry fee, pie and peas included. Various other events are held including a regular quiz night. The club is home to a wide range of sports teams including snooker, bowls darts, dominoes and chess.
Graham Donning, CAMRA Regional Director for Greater Manchester said: "The commitment to promoting real ales at this suburban club has seen it be named local branch club of the year for five consecutive years. Six hand pumps on its main bar rotate through an ever-changing selection of ales with local breweries dominating. Five more pumps in the upstairs function room are used for monthly brewery nights with a local brewer invited to showcase five of their ales to the clubs guests and the club hosts an annual beer festival. The club is home to a wide range of sports teams including snooker, bowls darts, dominoes and chess."

In light of the disturbing allegations of sexual misconduct by teachers against students at Miramonte Elementary and other schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District, we decided to query local school districts about their policies regarding such matters and the number of complaints they have processed in the last five years.
So on Feb. 28 and 29, we sent public records requests to districts from Bonita Unified to Banning Unified. All responded in some way by March 14.
We have posted on our website, for each district, the letter we sent and the response received. Many of those responses request clarification of various points in our requests; we will post our letters of clarification when we send them and their responses to those.
We will continue this process until, with the districts' help, we are able to provide the information we sought to parents and concerned citizens of every district.

I SPEAK LESS, but I SHOW YOU MORE
I would like to thank You for expressing your interest.
I am not professional nail artist,this is JUST MY HOBBY on my NATURAL NAILS !
Sometimes we don't have as much time as we would like for nail painting.
I put every time a base coat,transparent,to avoid stains on my nails,and after that coat I apply thin coat of French white .Nail polish has to be fresh , as it will dry so fast ,and also next coat will have better looking color.
Let the nails dry,and after that always apply finish transparent coat to protect your painting
and prevent it to be fray or rugged nail color.
you can have a look and follow my blog about nature flowers animals etc :

The Elekon Batlogger M Bat Detector/Recorder is a system for recording and listening to bat calls. It is a compact and versatile tool with a lot of features for scientists and all people interested in bat protection.
The ultrasonic sounds of the bats are recorded unaltered and in best audio quality (real-time, full spectrum). The BATLOGGER can be used as bat detector as well. The integrated live monitoring (heterodyne, with automatic tuning) with speaker or headphones simplify work. A wide range of accessories make the BATLOGGER universally.
In addition to the normal recording of bat calls on an SD card, further data and meta-information is collected and stored.
The most important feature here is the built-in GPS receiver. Every recording is referenced by the coordinates of its position. This information is particularly valuable in elaborate setups with several recording devices, or in mobile transect recordings. Additionally, the temperature at the time of recording is also recorded.
Bat calls recording made easy.
The BATLOGGER is an appealing solution for professional bat monitoring applications, e.g. studies for wind turbines, as well as for interested private users and biologists.
We provide the Batlogger M complete with a carrying case, a weatherproof "FG Black" Batlogger microphone already fitted, a pair of high-quality in-ear headphones, a charger, and a 16GB SD memory card.

In real life this seems to be a spiral bound book, which I quite like. The cover immediately appealed to me and this time I was not disappointed with the photos inside either (see my review of Simply Delicious Amish Cooking). That is until I noticed quite a few pixelated images which still had an iStockphoto watermark on them. I am not sure what is going on but if you buy an image you normally receive the image without a watermark, so I found this quite strange (and they were not pleasing to look at either).
The book is divided into various sections, from breads and rolls, jams and jellies to main dishes, desserts and miscellaneous. Interspersed between the recipes are little stories and tidbits about Amish life and quotes, some are from the Bible, some from other sources, some are trite, some nice. The book makes for an entertaining read even without the recipes.
Most of the main dishes are with meat, but I found lots of nice things among the other chapters. Especially a recipe for zucchini and carrot cake with a cream cheese frosting (see my post about that treat here) has caught my fancy. I will definitely give that one a try.
All in all, a nice cookbook with pretty pictures and some wisdom and information about the Amish thrown in.

text: From today's Globe: The city recently installed eight electric vehicle charging stations in its Museum Place and South Harbor garages. The stations can charge an electric vehicle in four to six hours. The city will provide the power free for the first two years.. City officials said placing chargers near where people live and work helps spur them to acquire electric vehicles. The stations are being funded through a grant awarded last year by the state Department of Energy Resources. "This project demonstrates Salem's continued commitment to renewable energy technologies," Mayor Kimberley Driscoll said in a prepared statement.
