The (J)Face of Eclipse
If you ever tried to build your own Eclipse plug-in, you've seen how the Plug-in Development Environment (PDE) makes the job quite easy. However, PDE won't go too far in helping you create customized user interfaces—you must do that yourself, in Java. Fortunately, Eclipse provides a set of APIs to help you along the way.
In the previous article, you used PDE to create a simple visual plug-in. This plug-in contributed a view to the workbench (you called it the Superview), that showed a list of all views available at runtime. Without going into much detail, you used the TableViewer class to display the view's contents as a single-column table. In this article, you'll examine this approach in closer detail. Specifically, you'll look at the Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT), which provides the fundamental user interface building blocks used throughout typical Eclipse applications, as well as the JFace framework, which provides a set of patterns and component abstractions that facilitate the development of user interfaces.
Although Eclipse applications are not strictly constrained to the desktop (in fact, there are many examples of console-based Eclipse tools), the most common kind are Graphical User Interface (GUI) applications. In Eclipse, there are two closely related core technologies that support development of such applications. The Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT) provides the fundamental building blocks of the user interface in a typical Eclipse application. The JFace framework provides a set of useful user interface component abstractions. Of course, there are other Eclipse GUI frameworks, such as the Graphical Editing Framework (GEF) and other, third-party solutions (you can even use Swing), but those are usually designed for specific types of applications. SWT and JFace, on the other hand, are the two you will encounter almost everywhere—from simple SWT-based applications (that don't even use the Eclipse runtime), to workbench-based RCP applications, to IDE plug-ins. In fact, the very IDE workbench, JDT, and PDE, which are all part of your Eclipse SDK, rely on these two frameworks for their GUI. Thus, knowing the basics of SWT and JFace is essential for building any useful user interfaces in Eclipse.
I'll first introduce you to JFace rather than SWT; you will find that it is JFace, rather than SWT, that provides the constructs you will likely end up using the most when developing end-user applications. You do need the basic understanding of SWT and how it relates to JFace, but you don't really need to know the intimate details unless you plan to avoid JFace and directly use SWT in your applications, or wish to develop more advanced, low-level UI customizations.
To help you better understand the various elements of these frameworks, you will extend the Superview plug-in you developed in the previous article with the following functionality:
- Change the view to display a tree of available views, grouped by their categories
- Allow the user to activate the selected view by double-clicking it or by choosing an option from the context menu
- Use a menu option to apply a filter to exclude the Superview itself from the list
- Display properties of the selected view in a dialog box
- Use a multi-page wizard to show the selected view in another workbench window
To follow the example, you will need a working Eclipse SDK, version 3.1 or newer. You can download it for free from the Eclipse download site.
The JFace UI Framework
In the Platform Plug-in Developer Guide, JFace is described as "a UI toolkit that provides helper classes for developing UI features that can be tedious to implement." In fact, JFace lets you focus on the end-user functionality you want to implement and avoid the complexities of managing widgets and the underlying OS resources. Many of these problems follow patterns common to most GUI applications, and there is no need to re-invent the wheel.
Viewers are classes that wrap various types of widgets and manage their common aspects, such as populating them with data, updating them when the underlying model changes, as well as sorting, filtering, and controlling other visual properties specific to the widget. You've already seen the TableViewer class in action in the previous article. Other common viewers are ListViewer, TreeViewer, ComboViewer, and TextViewer. Additional classes are available in the org.eclipse.jface.viewers package. You may recall that in the previous example, you delegated the job of constructing the underlying Table widget to the viewer itself. You then configured the viewer with various helper objects that control its behavior. Lastly, you set your model object (an array of view descriptors) as the viewer's input.
The two most important helpers used by the TableViewer (and other ContentViewers) are the content provider (the TableViewer and other StructuredViewers require an IStructuredContentProvider) and the label provider (an ILabelProvider will suffice, but ITableLabelProvider should be used when multiple columns exist in the table). The content provider's job is to translate the viewer's input into something it can understand; for example, an array of rows in TableViewer's case. Implementors of IStructuredContentProvider turn the viewer's input object into an array of elements. Other viewers display different content structures; for example, the TreeViewer displays a hierarchical tree, and thus requires a content provider that can translate the model into a tree of parent/child nodes (in other words, an ITreeContentProvider). The content provider also is responsible for managing model changes—when detected (by any model-specific means), the content provider typically updates the viewer to reflect the new model state (for example, adds/removes table rows).
The label provider's job is to turn a content element into something the viewer can display. For example, an ILabelProvider can return the text label as well as an optional image to visually represent the element. ITableLabelProvider can display a different label/image pair for each table column (in the example, you only have one column; thus, you don't need to use the ITableLabelProvider).
Other helper objects used by structured viewers are the ViewerSorter, which determines the display order of the viewer's content elements, and the ViewerFilter, which can be used to filter out certain elements according to arbitrary criteria. A viewer can have multiple filters, which are applied consecutively.
Viewers also support various kinds of listeners to which they delegate events emitted by the underlying widgets. A frequently used listener is the ISelectionChangedListener, which is notified when the user changes the viewer's selection (for example, selects a table row with the click of the mouse or by using keyboard navigation).
Actions and Contributions
Actions and contributions represent user-invokable functions, accessible through menus, toolbars, and the status line. Actions encapsulate the non-UI portion of the function—you implement the run method of IAction (actually, you don't implement the IAction interface, but rather subclass the abstract Action class), which is called when the user invokes the action by means of the associated widget, such as a toolbar button. This allows you to decouple your logic from any specific UI widget and reuse it in multiple locations as needed. Actions are used extensively to open dialogs or wizards, and to modify the state of views and editors.
Contributions represent actions in shared UI components, such as menus, toolbars, and the status line. They link them to specific widgets that make the actions available to the user. Typically, you don't need to create contributions for your actions—this is done on your behalf, when you add your action to the UI component using the appropriate contribution manager, such as an IMenuManager, IToolBarManager, or the IStatusLineManager.
Dialogs and Wizards
As a user, you know that dialog boxes are the small windows commonly used in applications to conduct an interactive "dialog" with the user—ask a question, solicit input needed to perform some action, or simply present some context-specific information to the user. Typically, dialogs are modal—only one can have input focus at a time. Along with a set of standard dialogs, such as the MessageDialog, ErrorDialog, and InputDialog, JFace provides a dialog framework that you can use to create your own, application-specific dialogs. Quite predictably, at the root of this framework is the Dialog class, which can be subclassed to create a custom dialog. In addition, there are several subclasses that represent different dialog styles, such as IconAndMessageDialog, StatusDialog, or TitleAreaDialog.
To implement your own dialog, you must populate its content area with widgets in its createDialogArea(Composite) method. You are free to use any JFace components and SWT widgets available. To open a dialog (for example, in your action's run method), you must first instantiate it and then call its open() method. By default, this method does not return until the dialog is closed. The result of this method represents the dialog's return code (for example, OK, Cancel, and so forth).
A typical dialog has at least one button that can be used to close it, but more commonly it has several different buttons to present the user with a choice of responses (as in OK/Cancel, Yes/No, and the like). The application then uses this information as the user's decision with respect to the action represented by the dialog. In JFace dialogs, buttons are placed horizontally in the bottom-right corner of the dialog box.
Wizards are multi-page dialogs used to implement tasks that involve one or more steps. You can see many wizard examples in the IDE workbench; typically, any resource or object creation task is implemented as a wizard (in fact, even single-step creation tasks are usually implemented as wizards, for consistency). Strictly speaking, a wizard is a collection of wizard pages, displayed in some sequence in the wizard container dialog. This design allows you to re-use wizard pages in different wizards, as well as chain or nest multiple wizards together. The wizard dialog has the Back, Next, Finish, and Cancel buttons, enabled or disabled depending on its current state.
To create a custom wizard, subclass the Wizard class and implement its addPages() and performFinish() methods. In addPages, instantiate your wizard pages and add them to the wizard using addPage(IWizardPage). In performFinish, implement your logic to make the wizard do its task when the user clicks Finish. To create a wizard page, subclass WizardPage and implement its createControl(Composite) method to populate its content area with widgets.
To invoke your wizard, you must first instantiate it, create an instance of WizardDialog initialized with your wizard, then open it by calling open(), just like any other dialog box. This method will return when the user presses Cancel or Finish, thus closing the dialog.
As a side note, I highly recommend that you browse the source code provided with your SDK—wherever you reference a class or an interface in your code, or invoke a method, press Ctrl, move the mouse over it, and click the presented link. This will bring you to the definition of the type or method. Read the Javadoc (most Eclipse APIs are well documented). The Javadoc view makes this easier (click Window -> Show View -> Other..., select Java -> Javadoc, and then click OK).

Without question, the single most important factor at play when it comes to losing body fat consistently is dietary control ? managing what you eat, and how much you eat throughout the day.
A good combination of weight training and cardio is certainly important to encourage lean muscle retention and to actively burn calories, but nutrition is the one area where the vast majority of fat loss trainees go wrong.
It simply has a way larger margin for error. At the most, you?ll probably be spending around 3-5% of your total time at the gym.
That means the time you spend outside of the gym eating and recovering makes up the other 95-97%.
That's a lot of time, a lot of meals and a lot of food choices where things can go off course.
In addition, it's way to easier to consume a significant number of calories than it is to burn them. 45 minutes on the treadmill might help you burn 400 calories, but just 10 minutes spent consuming one additional medium sized meal will replace those calories just as fast.
The fact that consistent exercise also stimulates your appetite doesn't help the cause either, as many people will train hard in the gym and then simply over-eat in the hours afterwards without even realizing it.
It doesn't matter how healthy you eat go overboard on total calories and you won?t lose an ounce of fat.
If you really want to strip off 1-2 pounds of pure body fat every single week (this is the general pace I recommend you go at) you must have a properly structured diet in place that allows you to maintain a net calorie deficit over time from a well-balanced combination of high quality protein, carbs and fats. Otherwise, you could be completely wasting your time altogether.
Here's how I'd recommend structuring things?
The Best Macros For Cutting
Calories: 15-20% below maintenance
Protein: 1 gram per pound of body weight daily
Fats: 20% of total calories
Carbohydrates: Whatever calories remain after protein/fat is calculated
I don't care how you lay this out - whether it be 6 small meals a day or 2 large meals just focus on hitting these macronutrient numbers each day and you will lose fat at or near your maximum potential. In fact, this one step will be responsible for the majority of your fat burning results.
There is of course no such thing as the absolute best macros for cutting that will work optimally for everyone, but this is a very reliable breakdown that will work very well for most people in most situations.
It will keep you in a calorie deficit range that is large enough to stimulate significant fat loss, but small enough to keep your lean muscle tissue intact? it will provide you with enough protein to maximize muscle recovery and retention in between workouts? enough fat to keep your mood, energy levels and hormone balance in check.. and enough carbs to keep your training performance near its peak.
Also note that the exact macro numbers outlined should be treated as estimations. Hitting your total calorie target is quite important and should be aimed for within a hundred calories or so each day if you want to see the best results? but it?s not crucial from a fat burning perspective that you consume exactly 178.6 grams of protein and 69.4 grams of fat every day.
Obsessing about this could actually do you more harm than good, and as long as you come somewhat close you?ll be fine.
If you want to skip the manual calculations altogether, you can just go straight to my Free Macronutrient Calculator that automates the process altogether for you using this exact breakdown.
Or, you can learn how to figure this all out on your own using the following steps?
Finding Your Daily Calories
First calculate your basal metabolic rate, which is the number of calories you burn at rest?
Men: 66 + (13.7 X bodyweight in kg) + (5 X height in cm) - (6.8 X age in years)
Women: 655 + (9.6 X bodyweight in kg) + (1.8 X height in cm) - (4.7 X age in years)
Take that number and multiply it by your activity level?
Sedentary = 1.2 (little to no exercise)
Lightly Active = 1.375 (light exercise: 1-3 days a week)
Moderately Active = 1.55 (moderate exercise: 3-5 days a week)
Very Active = 1.725 (intense exercise: 6-7 days a week)
Extremely Active = 1.9 (intense daily exercise and strenuous physical job)
This will give you your calorie maintenance level, which is the total number of calories you?d need to consume daily to maintain your current weight.
Now, take that number and multiply it by 0.8 and 0.85.
This will give you a daily calorie target for fat loss that is 15-20% below your maintenance level.
Finding Your Daily Protein Needs
Protein intake will be based on your body weight at 1 gram per pound daily. So, if you weigh 190 pounds, you?ll shoot for 190 grams of protein. Keep in mind that 1 kilogram is equal to 2.2 pounds.
This figure is obviously not perfect, and it can vary depending on your lean body mass and a variety of other factors. However, it's a very reliable starting number for those on a cut, and obsessing about a few grams of protein here and there really isn't worth your time anyway.
Finding Your Daily Fat Needs
Fats contain 9 calories per gram, so you?ll simply multiply your total calorie intake by 0.2 and then divide by 9 to get the total daily grams of fat.
Finding Your Daily Carbohydrate Needs
Add together the total protein calories (protein contains 4 calories per gram) and the total fat calories(you already have this from the previous step) and then subtract it from your total daily calorie intake. This will give you the total number of calories that will be derived from carbohydrates.
Then, divide that number by 4 (since carbohydrate contain 4 calories per gram) to get the total daily grams of carbs you?ll need.
The Best Macros For Cutting - Wrap Up
You now have a very reliable starting point in place for your total daily calories, protein, fat and carbohydrates for fat loss.
Follow this breakdown consistently in combination with a properly structured weight training and cardio plan, and you can expect to lose between 1-2 pounds of fat every week.
It may not sound like a lot, but adds up very quickly and represents a total fat loss of between 12-24 pounds over just a 3 month period.
Remember, you always want to go about your cutting phase in a controlled, gradual pace, otherwise you?ll be putting your hard-earned lean muscle at risk.
As you lose more fat and get leaner, you can either re-adjust your calories/macros, or increase your activity level.
When your weight loss has stalled for more than a 1-2 week period, decrease your calories by about 150 and then re-calculate your macros, or throw in an additional cardio session or two during your week.
(You can also do a combination of both, for example, shave off 100 calories and perform one extra cardio workout)

31243, Hymns, I'm a Pilgrim, I'm a Stranger, no. 121
1. I'm a pilgrim, I'm a stranger
Cast upon the rocky shore
Of a land where deathly danger
Surges with a sullen roar,
Oft despairing, oft despairing,
Lest I reach my home no more.
2. Misty vapors rise before me.
Scarcely can I see the way.
Clouds of darkest hue hang o'er me,
And I'm apt to go astray
With the many, with the many
That are now the vulture's prey.
3. O my Father, I entreat thee,
Let me see thy beck'ning hand;
And when straying, may I meet thee
Ere I join the silent band.
Guide me, Father, guide me, Father,
Safely to the promised land.

LONG POND, Pa. (AP) - IndyCar driver Ryan Hunter-Reay thought he was lost when he saw "NASCAR" signs lining the entrance road into Pocono Raceway.
Stay put Ryan - you're on the right track.
More than a dozen drivers took test spins around the Pocono tri-oval Tuesday in preparation for IndyCar's return to northeastern Pennsylvania on July 7 for a 400-mile race - the first open-wheel stop at Pocono in nearly a quarter-century.
"I saw "NASCAR' on both of the tunnels coming in here. I thought there was a new tunnel we had to find" to get in, Hunter-Reay joked during a midday break from testing to help drivers figure out the track known as the "Tricky Triangle."
It's a return to open-wheel roots for Pocono, a place more known these days for its two stops on the NASCAR Sprint Cup circuit. IndyCar raced at Pocono for 19 seasons before leaving in 1989. Danny Sullivan won that last race 24 years ago.
The reviews Tuesday were overwhelmingly positive from the Pocono neophytes.
Pocono's three corners were designed in 1965 to model corners at Indianapolis, Milwaukee and now-defunct Trenton. Almost every driver who participated in the private test Tuesday said they welcomed the tri-oval challenge.
"This track is a hell of a lot of fun, that's for sure," said Graham Rahal, whose father, Bobby, won in 1988. "It keeps your attention. It's so different than any other oval."
Rahal equated last week's stop at Iowa Speedway - the steep-banked, .875 mile oval - to a dash around a bull-fighting ring.
At 21â"2 miles long with three distinct turns, Pocono might be the exact opposite. The 14-degree bank in Turn 1, coming out of the marathon 3,740-foot straightaway, seemed to pose the biggest question to most drivers.
Challenges similar to those encountered by NASCAR drivers.
"It's always a compromise," Hunter-Reay said when asked if he had a feel yet for how to set up the car. "If you make one corner perfect, the next one is going to be loose. That's just the way this place is. You've got to look at what pays off the most."
Guys like Rahal and Marco Andretti can lean on family ties for some advice. Andretti's grandfather, open-wheel great Mario Andretti, competed in the last Pocono race in 1989 and won the 1986 race. It's a virtual hometown track for the Andrettis, who hail from nearby Nazareth.
Marco Andretti, who also took part in a tire test at Pocono in April, said he didn't make many changes from that spring foray around the track.
"The track did a great job of making the Turn 2 curve more suitable for us. It's lot smaller than it was, so we appreciate that," he said with a smile. "Other than that, it still has three turns."
Andretti races for his father, Michael, owner of Andretti Autosport. Michael Andretti won the pole at the 1986 race won by Mario Andretti.
Hunter-Reay also races for Andretti Autosport. It was no surprise, then, to see Mario Andretti looking right at home on pit row at Hunter-Reay's stall, with bright sunlight reflecting off his sunglasses while his salt-and-pepper hair fluttered in a breeze.
About five autograph-seekers hovered nearby, hoping to snap pictures. Taking a breather during the test, Marco Andretti watched from the other end of the stall.
No advice today, though, from Grandpa.
"He doesn't talk to me unless I'm Top 5, so we haven't talked this week since Iowa," joked Marco Andretti, who finished ninth last weekend at Newton.
Still, it was a banner weekend for the Andretti team at Iowa with James Hinchcliffe and Hunter-Reay finishing 1-2. Hunter-Reay, Marco Andretti and Hinchcliffe follow first-place driver Helio Castroneves on the points leaderboard.
Teams get a much-needed breather this weekend before returning July 7 for Pocono, with Castroneves' lead very much in the sights of the Andretti drivers. Their team has won five of 10 races in 2013.
"That's what this championship is all about. A lot of competition, teams right on top of each other," Castroneves said. "Everyone not giving an inch."
Thirteen of 14 drivers scheduled for Tuesday's test took laps around Pocono. The other driver, Sebastien Bourdais, was at the track but didn't get behind the wheel of his No. 7 Chevy in the morning run, an IndyCar spokesman said.

For translations or transcriptions to be in a form that we can use:
- We need a separate digital text (txt extension, not doc, docx, or rtf ) file for each page, named the same as what the digital page will be named.
- It needs to be in UTF-8 (not Windows Unicode, which is UTF-16) and use either Windows character map or Babelmap UTF-8 encodings for the diacritics. We recommend the use of Notepad++ for the creation of each text file.
If the transcripts are in analog form, the process is this:
- Digitize the transcripts
- OCR the images. OCR only captures about 80% of plain text, and will destroy words with diacritic encodings.
- Review the OCR text, compare with the original files that had been transcribed, and divide the content accordingly. You will need to create a separate text file for each original handwritten page, and name it the same as the original handwritten page (except end with the extension ".ocr.txt") -- see above.
- If you correct the OCR errors in these text files, then remove the ".ocr" from the file extension, so they simply end in ".txt"
- Unless the transcript images are of research value themselves, delete them (as well as the intermediate OCR content).
- Place the results in the Transcripts directory for upload.

Starting NFL quarterbacks have gone 78-8 during the 2012 regular season and playoffs when posting Total QBR scores as high as the 86.4 Russell Wilson posted for Seattle during a 30-28 divisional playoff defeat Sunday.
Here is the thing about those eight defeats: Wilson owns three of them, all since Week 8.
The 2012-2013 season has seen 264 total games to this point with each of those games having at least two QB performances. So 528+ QB performances this year.
Of those over 500 performances, just 86 of them scored on par with Wilson's performance yesterday. Only EIGHT times all season, IN OVER FIVE HUNDRED PERFORMANCES, did a QB perform that well and lose. The odds of performing that well and losing is 1.5% (528/8).
And Wilson owns THREE of those EIGHT. Not only that, but ALL of those losses came in Seattle's 8-3 stretch to end the season.
Now remember that Seattle finished with the #1 scoring defense in the NFL. This takes the term "hard luck" to a whole new level.
That kind of luck won't continue forever. Another reason for optimism.

text: Advertising Managing an event? Have you done that before? Heres a quick run down of the most important tasks of an event manager. The creation and development of festivals and events is called event management because it is where the application of the management practice of project management is applied. It involves the event concept planning, the type of audience to target, planning the logistics and some technical aspects coordination before the actual proposal of the said event. The very person that takes all the responsibilities of planning and executing the event is the event manager and his team. They are the ones who are often behind the scenes of running any event. They also do brand building, and .munication and some marketing strategy. They are experts in logistical elements and technical aspects, and very creative and this results in a successful event. Lots of events occur annually, like, birthdays, anniversaries and the likes, or some are at least similar in some ways to special occasions that have happened before or in the past. Unless you really have never done any event in your whole life before, you should be able to see and therefore make some planning that will take place and make use of the many ideas and techniques from the past events youve gone and attended. Planning your event before hand, will not only help you to save time and effort in the pre-planning stage because you will have a prearranged lists of all the necessary things you have to do but it will also aid you to make certain you do not overlook any of the elements. It can be said that planning is one of the most crucial factors of event management and to manage the planning process is even more significant. Knowing that every little bit of the event is covered will make the occasion sail a lot more smoothly, and be a hassle-free for everyone from event organizers to production team. Over the past years, one of the helpful tools every event manager has .e across when planning for any event is very simple, the handwritten list. Although these days you might use the .puter to schedule tasks, oftentimes it is still very easy to collect your thoughts and write it down in a clean sheet of blank paper. You have the power to arrange it the way you want it – it can be chronologically arranged or by selection of the events. Planning an event is a daunting job as it needs hours of meticulous preparation. The groundwork for the event requires total deliberation over a number of matters like food, venue, drinks, music, etc. and a countless other things on hand. Planning your own event and doing it by yourself and hoping for it to be successful appears strenuous because most of us require the needed time and a lot of experience to do it successfully. So, if ever you are going to be an event manager, you might want to know your tasks and responsibilities involved in it. First and foremost you have to be very clear about who has the power and authority. Everyone is very much involved. You must focus, manage everything and try to see the big picture – your very own event. One must know who is in .mand when a decision has to be made. An event manager cant do everything, so you need help from your event crew or team members. That is why its important to find event staff that can handle tasks on their own. Your event staff should have the following characteristics. One must be reliable, never late and always on time, moderate and very much focused on the task given. Your staff must be loyal; he/she should understand their .mitment to you and support your decisions all the way. Your team members should be thrifty and know to respect and stay within the event plan. Your staff must be diplomatic, .petent, and very much like-minded. Always keep in mind that at the end of every event, there should be an evaluation of all the things that happened and what you did this will allow you identify new mistakes to correct and lessons to learn from previous events. It must be both positive and negative for these lessons will be remembered – for every one thing that went wrong, there are ten things that came out right. About the Author: 相关的主题文章:

Tying Up Loose Ends: Cute Kid Artist "A.S." is...
I have to thank my Flickr friend Glen Mullaly for solving this mystery for me.
What's really bizarre is that I had initially posted an "A.S." illustration and another piece clearly signed "Arthur Sarnoff" together back on Father's Day and never made the connection. Doh!
I found quite a lot of artwork and information on Arthur Sarnoff at various websites. There's a bit of biographical info at askart.com. The American Art Archives has a tremendous selection of Sarnoff illustrations (including several wonderful Karo Kid ads). And you can see some of Sarnoff's later work (and even buy one of his originals) at The Illustrated Gallery.
For those who are fans of pinup art, there's a baker's dozen of fresh, hot lovelies by Sarnoff at the Virtual Pin-ups Art Gallery.
Another weird coincidence: the very day I posted about the mysterious "A.S.", I received the scan above from Ranger Bob asking if I could make out the signature at the bottom left. I tell ya, its like the spirit of Arthur Sarnoff was trying to guide me in the right direction....
All of the images above (and all the "A.S." illustrations previously seen here) are now in my Arthur Sarnoff Flickr set where you can view them at full size.

This is awesome stuff, Leif, thanks for posting it. I know I've seen his work before, but didn't know his name. As an added bonus, when I checked the link to the American Art Archives, I found out that he also used to do the poker/pool playing dogs.ReplyDelete
Yeah, I discovered a whole slew of those cheesy paintings at one of those websites where you can order posters, bob-o. I debated whether to include that aspect of Sarnoff's career in my post. They are, after all, the height of cheese. I kind of like 'em in the same way I like all hokey pop art - like Pete Hawley's sickly-sweet cutey pie kids from later in his career.ReplyDelete
But for some reason I decided to leave that out f my post about Sarnoff... maybe that reveals a prejudice I didn't realize I have against those dog paintings... I dunno...

Most retailers say they anticipate solid online sales growth this holiday season, according to a new survey.
The survey, conducted by e-commerce consultancy The E-tailing Group Inc. and personalization firm Baynote Inc., gathered responses from 77 retailers that sell online with annual revenue ranging from less than $20 million to more than $5 billion. 60% of them expected more than 10% growth this year.
Of the respondents, 23% say they expect their online sales to grow between 11% and 15% this holiday season. That estimate aligns roughly with online sales growth during the holidays last year. Research firm comScore Inc. says online sales increased 14% during Q4 2012 and U.S. Commerce Department estimates pegged Q4 online sales growth at 15.8%. ComScore draws on online purchase data from its panel of about 1 million U.S. online shoppers and excludes automobile and auction sales. Commerce Department estimates are based on a quarterly survey of more than 11,000 U.S. merchants.
15% of respondents expect their online sales will grow 16% to 20%. 12% say the anticipate growth between 21% and 30%. 10% say they think sale growth will exceed 31%.
40% of respondents say they expect their online sales growth will fall below their 2012 rate. They break down as follows: 5% think their online sales will decrease from last year; 9% expect zero growth; 12% expect growth in the range of 1% to 5%; and 14% expect growth between 6% and 10%.
"While retailers have expressed cautious optimism for the 2013 holiday season, that optimism hinges on the ability to drive sales through strategically time promotions in the fourth quarter," says Lauren Freedman, president of the E-tailing Group.
More than 40% of retailers will wait until early November to start running holiday promotions, the survey finds, but 30% will start before October, which may push some holiday sales in the third quarter.
Retailers in recent years have started holiday sales promotions earlier and consumers have completed more of their holiday shopping by Thanksgiving, which historically has been the kickoff to holiday shopping. A survey of more than 2,000 consumers last year from Compete Inc. found that 54% of shoppers had completed at least a quarter of their holiday shopping before Thanksgiving weekend, up from 49% who said the same in 2011.
More than half, 53%, of retailers in the new The E-tailing Group survey say they expect mobile commerce to account for a "significant" part of holiday revenue, although it did not quantify what significant means in percentage or dollar terms. Retailers, however, estimated the percentage of sales they expect to come from mobile commerce:
• 5% said they expect mobile to account for 21% or more of all holiday sales;
• 7% said 16% to 20%;
• 22% said they expect mobile to account for 11% to 15% of sales;
• 29% said 6% to 10%;
• 29% said between 1% and 5%;
• 8% said they expect mobile to account for no sales this holiday.
38% of retailers say the believe mobile will help drive sales in stores, and 82% say they are making technology investments in mobile.
Retailers, meanwhile, deem social media as less important than mobile; 84% say social media will have little or no impact on sales this holiday season. Just 17% characterized their investment in social media going into the holidays as significant, and 62% said they were making limited investments in social.
While retailers might not be doubling down on social this year, they are investing in other areas. Nearly half say they are making investments in search engine optimization and search engine marketing ahead of the holiday season. 77% are refining their site search capabilities and 81% are making improvements to their e-commerce platforms.

Degrees in physics and math and a master's in aerospace engineering would present plenty of career options for a person, but Molly Hardman said she has found contentment in blending her favorite hobby with her work. Hardman is the vice president of sales and support for Longmont's RF Concepts, which makes and services Alpha amplifiers for amateur, or ham, radio enthusiasts.
"I was in grad school and was in love with a guy who was going to be spending a year in the Antarctic," Hardman recalled, explaining what led her to get her first ham license in her native South Africa in 1977.
That man, Gordon Hardman, later became her husband, and he also works at RF Concepts as vice president of engineering. The two came to the United States in 1981 and moved to Colorado in 1983.
RF Concepts repairs and rebuilds ham radio amplifiers of all types, but the vast majority of the company's revenues come from the manufacture and sale of Alpha amplifiers, known in ham radio circles as the top of the line.
"Alpha amplifiers have been continuously manufactured in the U.S.
A local ham enthusiast, Sebastian Wessels, agrees; he has an Alpha 9500 in his "ham shack" at his Longmont house. In fact, one of the "hams" -- as they call themselves -- that Wessels has communicated with in Switzerland sent him a post card -- or QSL card, as they're called in ham circles -- showing him and his ham equipment and there, in the picture, is an Alpha 9500.
"Anybody can build an amplifier, but Alpha just happens to be the Cadillac of amplifiers," Wessels said.
In the late 1990s, the company that made Alpha amplifiers also made medical devices, and the amp part of the company split off and became Alpha Power, which relocated to Mead.
During those years, she worked hard to keep up the company's reputation and its relationship with customers, she said, but the economy tanking in late 2008 forced her to look for a buyer.
"I sold it because I couldn't find money to buy parts to build amplifiers, even though I had orders," Hardman said.
The buyer she found was a wealthy Chicago businessman, Michael Seedman, a ham and an Alpha customer himself.
Since the company is privately held, she declined to give out sales numbers, but she did say the company had more than $1 million in revenue in 2008, the last year she owned it.
"We've grown every year since Michael's had it," Hardman said.
She said there are about 15,000 Alpha amplifiers in use worldwide. RF Concepts repairs all types of ham radio amps and accepts trade-ins, but the majority of its revenue is derived from selling its three models of new Alpha amplifiers, the top of the line of which -- the 9500 -- sells for about $8,000.
RF Concepts ended up in Longmont shortly after Seedman bought it because it formed a partnership with contract manufacturer Q.S.C. Systems Inc. The two companies now are located together in a building on South Sunset Street.
Q.S.C. does much of the preliminary work on the amps -- circuit board and power cord assembly, for example -- based on RF Concepts' specs and then the units are wheeled across the hall, where RF Concepts' employees test them and do final assembly. The 12-member RF Concepts team -- most, if not all, of whom are hams -- also does its R&D and customer service at that location.
Though high-tech features such microchips are now part of Alpha amplifiers, vacuum tubes are at the heart of the units, just as they were when the company was formed. Today, though, the tubes are made of ceramic, not glass.
"The new and the old technology really blend very well together," Hardman said.
And after all these years and ownership changes, it appears the reputation of the company remains intact. During a recent tour, Hardman showed some visitors a new $3,000 antennae tuner it is producing. The product hasn't hit the market, yet; as of midweek last week, the second, third and fourth units to come off the production line were still sitting on a bench, half-assembled.
"No (they're not out yet), but we have almost 300 orders for them," Hardman said.

For the fourth time, WrestleMania is headed outdoors.
WWE announced Wednesday its trademark event is headed to New Jersey in 2013. WrestleMania 29 will take place April 7, 2013 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., the first outdoor WrestleMania in a northern climate.
WrestleMania IX was held outdoors at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. It was 15 years before WrestleMania went outdoors again, as Orlando's Citrus Bowl hosted WrestleMania 24 in 2008. WrestleMania 27, coming up April 1, will be held at Sun Life Stadium in Miami and will be headlined by a grudge match between The Rock and John Cena.
MetLife Stadium is the home of the National Football League's New York Giants and New York Jets and opened in April 2010. The stadium holds more than 82,000 people for football and likely would hold a similar number if filled for WWE after their rather large production moved in.
MetLife Stadium will host the NFL's pinnacle event, the Super Bowl, in 2014. The stadium has hosted the likes on Bon Jovi, U2 and The Eagles.

Most people living in the average American household have no reason to contemplate the transfer, collection and disposal of the water that enters and leaves their homes. I certainly had never considered such things until Cedric and I went volunteering on organic farms. In the south of Spain, we spent time at Tierra Roja, a small olive farm where water is scarce for much of the year and any rain that falls is caught, stored and carefully used. They were watering their flower garden with the water from their sinks and showers so not a drop was wasted. It was the first time I'd ever seen a greywater system in action. As aquifers run dry and water becomes a scarcer resource, I see the proper recycling of it essential to transitioning our treatment of water to a more sustainable system and tiny house dwellers are on the front lines of this transition.
Living in a tiny house we have had to face the challenge of disposing our water safely since we weren't hooked up to the city's system. Our initial introduction at that farm inspired us to try a simple, DIY system that would use our greywater to irrigate a small garden. We took 1 1/2″ pvc pipe, attached it to the plumbing of the house and buried it in the garden. Since we didn't put in a filter we did not put any solids of any kind down the drain. We also carefully chose our bath soaps, used homemade shampoos and biodegradable dish soap so as not to damage the soil, plants or watershed. I wish we had taken pictures of the process but all I have is the evidence in this picture of extremely happy banana trees!
The majority of folks don't think twice about these things and it's wonderfully convenient to not have to. However, I've learned a lot about sustainable water practices by living with this system and I prefer it to sending this precious resource to a facility with black water where it becomes much more polluted and takes a lot of energy to introduce safely back in to the water cycle. It's also a major plus for dry environments that see little rainfall and who at times must rely on their aquifers for water, as we experienced in Spain.
To sustain and maintain these deep fonts of water we need to replenish them. Allowing greywater to be filtered by plants back in to the ground recharges the aquifers and keeps them from drying out. The beauty of greywater systems is they can be incredible simple to construct, use and maintain. The collaborative group Greywater Action For A Sustainable Water Culture is an incredible resource not only for learning to construct and maint these systems, they also have a wealth of information on composting toilets, rainwater catchment and pedal-powered washing machines!
As we prepare to move La Casita once again, we plan to build a more elaborate system that can withstand the Vermont winters. The Greywater Action website also has great reviews of projects and useful tips for winterizing these systems. In the South it was much easier to manage it and although it will be more of a challenge it is another opportunity to learn and create a regenerative system. I'll be posting details of our next greywater project so check-in with the tiny life over the next few weeks to see the details of construction!
Your Turn!
- Have any tips on water disposal in a tiny house?
- How do you feel about the current disposal and treatment of water?
- Do you think greywater systems are viable project towards changing how we think about water disposal?

The good life thrives in a 100-year-old convent on Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine.
Checking In: High drama at Îles-de-la-Madeleine
The good life thrives in a 100-year-old convent on Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine.
Le Domaine du Vieux Couvent is a 10-room hotel with a dramatic location, high on a sandstone cliff overlooking the Gulf of St. Lawrence. With fine food, splendid panoramas and warm people, Le Domaine brings together the best elements of these special islands, a remote and unique part of Quebec, 135 kilometres north of Prince Edward Island.
Le Domaine's restaurant, La Moulière, serves freshly caught seafood, beautifully presented and so perfectly cooked that you will feel this is your first experience tasting scallops or cod. Acadian fiddle music dances in the background. Patrons always have requested tables with a view of the sunset and the sparkling water, so Le Domaine accommodated, opening two additions last month: a stunning sunroom for dining and a deck for drinks.
The tender loving care of four owners over the past 28 years has made Le Domaine a treasure of Les Îles de la Madeleine. And now the foursome — Évangéline Gaudet and Réginald Poirier, and Francine Leroux and Henri-Paul Bénard — have joined with new executive chef Denis Landry and his chef du cuisine, Serge Carbonneau.
"It started as a lark more than 25 years ago," said Poirier. "We wanted a friendly bar, then we added food and eventually guest rooms. Then we did a huge renovation to modernize."
The rooms: a view and more
Le Domaine du Vieux Couvent is the only four-star hotel on Les Îles de la Madeleine, and its success is based partly on the distinguished 1914 building. It's all stone and hardwood floors, with high ceilings and large windows, and it is so substantial that it is naturally soundproof throughout.
But ultimately, the irresistible feature at Le Domaine is the splendid view. Each of the 10 guest rooms overlooks the water.
When I arrived on a brilliantly sunny day a few weeks ago, my windows were all wide open, with the curtains drawn back and the sounds and sights of the sea flooding in. I didn't even ask about a television, although the inn will provide one on request.
The rooms are attractive and comfortable with good bedside lights, armoires, antique desks and club chairs (those are the loge seats for the performance of nature outside).
The beds are smothered in goose down duvets, and there are heaps of thick white bath sheets. The new showers are large glass walk-in numbers with rain faucets, spray arms and little benches. I tried the shower seat and, indeed, it was positioned so that I could gaze through a window at a lagoon.
As in a larger hotel, guests have bathrobes, extra blankets and down pillows, and a leather-bound manual with tourist suggestions. And there is Internet and a CD player with a library of music. Le Domaine supplies locally crafted toiletries from La Fille de la Mer, whose products are rich with jojoba oil, goats' milk, honey and vanilla.
What to eat
I lucked into meeting the next generation of Le Domaine's family: Raphaël Poirier, who mans the front desk in summer, and Charlélie Bénard, a keen sommelier and restaurateur.
La Moulière is a gourmet bistro offering a feast of seafood from the Gulf of St. Lawrence: cod cheeks with mango coulis, mussels marinière, lobster risotto, a warm salad with scallops and a rich seafood pie. The exceptional house chowder is brimming with seafood in a light, floral coconut milk broth. I didn't expect meat, but from local farms there are super-sized portions of beef ribs, braised lamb shank and the new burger, made of lamb, crab and the islands' pride, Tomme des Demoiselles cheese.
Charlélie Bénard has created an admirable wine list with French bubbly, wines by the glass for creative pairings and a reserve section. He talks of tension, complexity and tannic structure, and nudges clients toward his favourite vintages from the Loire, Burgundy and Washington state, as well as a vidal blanc from Domaine des Salamandres in Hemmingford.
So much to do
For an excursion on land, Raphaël Poirier called the outdoor outfitter Le Pédalier and the company delivered top-notch rental bicycles. We toured for three hours along country roads, over hills, down to beaches and past clusters of the brightly coloured cottages that are a trademark of the islands. To connect to other islands, you can follow Route 199, which is part of La Route Verte, with bike lanes on a shared road.
The writer was a guest of the hotel, which did not review or approve the story.

A Boston Celtics official tells The Associated Press that a deal to allow Doc Rivers to coach the Los Angeles Clippers has been agreed to.
The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because the deal was contingent on NBA approval and negotiations between Rivers and the Clippers over a new contract.
Rivers had three years and $21 million remaining on his deal with the Celtics, but he has expressed reluctance to coach through a rebuilding process. The 2008 NBA champions appear to be headed for one after losing in the first round of the playoffs this season.
The teams were also discussing a deal that would send Kevin Garnett to the Clippers, but NBA commissioner David Stern said he wouldn't approve a deal in which coaches were traded for active players.

Shawn D. Bronson, a 2008 graduate of Point Park University's cinema arts program, recently returned to Pittsburgh to work as the art director for the independent feature film project, The Umbrella Man. Point Park cinema students and alumni were also involved in all aspects of the film.
Job title: Art Director for The Umbrella ManNow working as: Freelance Art Director/Production Designer Degrees earned: Master of Fine Arts in production design, American Film Institute; Bachelor of Arts in cinema arts with a concentration in directing, Point Park UniversityGraduation years: 2011, 2008 Hometown: Indiana, Pa.Now living in: Los Angeles, Calif.
I transferred to Point Park because of the newly started, at that time, cinema arts program. Film is what I wanted to be doing with my life and the program seemed like the perfect catalyst to assist me. It was through that major that I was introduced to art direction and decided to further my education and skills at American Film Institute.
I had worked with the production designer, Merissa Lombardo, one summer on a commercial in Pittsburgh and we kept in touch. When she got the design job, she called me to art direct for her and I have been very anxious to come back to Pittsburgh and work for a little while.
Some of my key responsibilities included the following: art department workflow, scheduling, budgeting, conceptual renderings, technical drawings, graphics, and coordinating with production and locations as per location/set needs.
Pittsburgh, 1983 – A man's 8-year-old son dies in a tragic hunting accident and to cope with the grief, and his down spiraling of his marriage, he becomes associated with a group of conspirators regarding the 20th anniversary of the John F. Kennedy assassination.
It was a treat to be able to work with some former classmates and also some more recent graduates. It's always a good time reminiscing about a former time in your life and seeing where you've changed as a person and developed professionally.
I think the program is a great start to introduce yourself to and try out the many different areas that a career in film has to offer. In addition to that, with the continual professional filming that has been occurring in the Pittsburgh area, I think the program lends you the opportunities for internships and post-graduation entry-level positions to gain experience and build your network that will help you get to where you want to be someday.
I am lucky enough to say that I have been working fairly consistently since I graduated and look forward to whatever that next production is, though for right now I am enjoying some time off at home in Los Angeles getting little projects done around the house and spending time with my partner and our dogs preparing for the holidays.

text: The number of girl gamers is up, but will women spend hours sitting in their mom's basement eating chips and tapping away on their pink bedazzled Nintendo DSs? 38% percent of video game players in the U.S. are female, up from 33% five years ago, according to IBISWorld, but the new problem for software companies is that women are more casual gamers than men. "The challenge is not to get them to play, but to get them to spend more of their time and money on games," says Anita Frazier, an industry analyst. But rather than creating complex, engrossing games aimed at women or recruiting more female game designers, software companies are just churning out more games about fashion, cooking, babies and makeup, according to Didi Carduso, managing editor of Grrlgamers.com, a video game review site produced by women. "I think a girl's world is a little bigger than that," she said. [Reuters]

Officials say a driver has been hurt by flying debris from an explosion at an Austin-area lab associated with the University of Texas.
UT spokeswoman Rhonda Weldon says Tuesday's accident involved equipment failure in a metal building on North Bagdad Road in Leander, leading to an explosive release of gas.
The lab, run by the UT Institute for Advanced Technology in north Austin, does research on high-velocity projectiles and their impact on targets.
James Swartz was driving his truck and was about 50 feet from the site when the structure exploded. Swartz was treated for minor injuries and released from a hospital.
Officials say five workers running an experiment were not injured.
UT environmental and safety experts will help investigate the accident in Leander, about 20 miles northwest of Austin.

With it being Jets week, it seems even more fitting.
The 2009 Jets, like this years Seahawks team.. fielded a top defense highlighted by its secondary.
The 2009 Jets, like this years Seahawks team.. started a rookie QB and had a very up and down offense.. highlighted by its rushing game. (More on this later though)
The 2009 Jets, like this years Seahawks team.. struggled on the road and played much better at home.
The 2009 Jets, like this years Seahawks team.. had Braylon Edwards (ok this is more coincidence than anything else)
The 2009 Jets finished the year 9-7 and would wind up losing in the AFC Championship to the Indianapolis Colts.
The parallels between the two teams are very eerily similar, except for one big thing. Quarterback play. Russell Wilson is far and away better in his rookie season than Mark Sanchez was. In fact, Wilson has already eclipsed Sanchez in TD passes in their respective rookie years.. and for the most part has shown a good ability at protecting the football (save for a couple of brain farts he's had.. which happens with the position)
I remember there were threads comparing us to the Ravens and Bucs of the early 2000's .. and those were some really.. just off comparisons in my book. Both of those teams had unreal defenses who played NASTY football from start to finish. There were no Matt Stafford big days or Adrian Peterson big days against those defenses. We're talking historically good units for each respective team.
However, the Seahawks defense IS indeed a Top 10 unit.. and more often than not, they will play to that ability. The '09 Jets defense played very similar.. they had a couple of off days (interestingly enough at home of all places) but for the most part they were very good. In fact they were the best defense in terms of points allowed (we are currently 3rd overall in that category).
I think a lot of people would be happy with the Jets 2009 season.. even if we fell in the conference championship game.

While we wait for more concrete details from Verizon we can at least see that Nokia's next generation Windows Phone 8 handset has been priced up on the Best Buy's website going for a neat $99.99 on contract.
The Nokia Lumia 822 which is a variant of the Lumia 820 is seen here in its rather fetching white attire along with the option to buy "unactivated" for $549.99 if that's how you want to play it. Otherwise you can opt for a two year contract and stump up just $99.99.
The 822 comes with the Carl Zeiss optics and has a 8MP main camera and a 1.2MP front facer too. Like other Lumias it will get the Nokia Music and Navigation maps along with all Nokia's other exclusives that make their devices so attractive to potential buyers. The 822 also has the exchangeable shell designs but at this time we're not sure what colour options will be available at the time of launch. We also know that the 822 will support the Qi wireless charging like its bigger brother the Lumia 920.
We had heard rumours that the the Lumia 822 and the HTC 8X would be launching on November the 8th but that now seems unlikely. We are hearing that it's much more likely to come around "Thanksgiving week" at this point. We're sure many of you are itching to get your hands on this when it arrives on Verizon. If you want to read more about what Nokia said on the 822, we have already covered it here.
What are your plans when Verizon finally gets around to releasing the Windows Phone 8 devices?
