Rick Cavallaro must have thick skin. For more than four years he has been bombarded by naysayers who have ridiculed him and his work.
It all started when the software and hardware developer proposed a design for an unlikely-sounding, wind-powered car that he said would be able to travel faster than the wind blowing directly behind it.
Despite others having proposed similar ideas, skeptics immediately labeled it a hoax, putting it in the same category as perpetual motion machines. It defied physics, they said, and claimed Cavallaro was a charlatan. Searching through comments on any article that dared mention the design and you will find post after post that is openly hostile. Even respected bloggers and magazines waded in with some branding him a "bozo".
"They have this problem that their intuition tells them that it's not possible, because once there's no wind over the vehicle [when it is travelling at wind speed] it can't harness any energy from the wind" says Cavallaro. The vehemence of the response was a shock to him.
"The thing that was most surprising to me was how much even professional engineers and scientists will not only rely on their intuition, but accept their intuition over a straightforward rigorous analysis, and real world proof."
But, Cavallaro remained undeterred, and with the backing of large firms – including Google – he built his machine. The result is Blackbird – a ground-hugging, three-wheeled racing car with what essentially looks like a 5m- (14ft-) high wind turbine stuck on the back. Over the last two years he has refined the design and in a series of tests has shown that it can not only run downwind faster than the wind, but it can run upwind too.
"The reason I think that most people find it counter-intuitive is that you get to a point going downwind, when you are going at exactly the same speed as the wind" says Cavallaro. To go faster, the machine would have to somehow pull ahead of the wind that's pushing it. And, as most sailors know, that's not possible... at least in a boat.
But by using a propeller instead of a conventional sail, Blackbird is able to overcome this limit. "We didn't invent or discover any new physics, we just have a clever way of exploiting some basic physics," he says.
Although the whole thing sounds counterintuitive, the set-up is relatively simple.
On the back of the car are two propeller blades. Although many people assume these are turned directly by the wind, they are not. Instead they are connected to the rear wheels by a long bicycle chain that runs through a transmission. As the wheels move, the propeller turns, creating thrust. This moves the vehicle forwards just like the propeller on a plane. The faster the wheels move, the faster the propeller turns. And, unlike a sailing boat, the speed is not limited by the trailing wind speed.
'Humble pie'
So getting going in the first place might seem like a chicken and egg problem. Which comes first, the wheels turning or the prop turning? Cavallaro says that is not an issue. He has some control over the pitch of the blades, and by flattening them at the start, the car gets the push that it needs.
This can lead to slightly surreal images. As the car begins to accelerate, streamers attached to the vehicle blow over the cockpit with the direction of the wind. As the car approaches the same speed as the gusts, the streamers momentarily drop before suddenly popping out in the opposite direction – trailing behind the car.
The really clever engineering is required to maintain stability. To make sure the torque generated by the turbine does not overturn the car, one of the axles is longer than the other one, balancing the force. In addition Cavallaro put some safeguards in place to make sure only direct wind-power was being used.
"We put ratchets in the system to ensure that we can't make use of stored energy. I can't spool the prop up, and then go race with that stored energy," he says.
Cavallaro first took on his detractors outside of the bulletin boards using this setup in 2010. At New Jerusalem airport in California he travelled downwind at a speed of 2.86 times greater than the wind, proving his concept worked.
But not content with this feat, Cavallaro has also recently shown that Blackbird can also run against the wind. To do this, he reverses the whole set-up.
"All I did to convert it is remove the propeller and replace the blades with turbine blades" he explains. "A turbine blade is turned by the wind, whereas a propeller is just the opposite."
When the wind turns the turbine it cranks the chain, which in turn moves the wheels. Release the brake and the car begins to pick up speed. The only other difference to the downwind set-up is that the asymmetrical axle is flipped the other way around top provide the right stability.
The most recent tests were done in June this year, when Cavallaro and his team once again descended on New Jerusalem airport. There, they drove the machine into an oncoming wind at a speed two times faster than the windspeed, setting a new record. The North American Land Sailing Association, who confirmed the records, also clocked the craft moving at 22.9 mph (36km/h).
The demonstrations have not silenced everyone, but he seen many people finally accept his idea. One of those includes Richard Jenkins, the designer of Greenbird, a wind-powered vehicle that broke the land speed record for the fastest wind-powered vehicle in 2009. Unlike, Cavallaro's vehicle, Greenbird works more like an ordinary sailing boat, running at an angle across the wind to outpace it.
Initially a skeptic, Jenkins was swayed after going to see Blackbird in action. "It works. It starts from rest, trundles to true wind speed, then powers to a multiple of about three times the true wind speed," he wrote.
"To all fellow skeptics, start baking that humble pie, or eat your hat. Your choice."

LETTER- Even with Chang, no taste at Taste
I ate at the Taste of China twice when Peter Chang was there. [March 23 cover story: "The Chang effect: Wooing palates, breaking hearts— and why he left"] It was the two worst meals for myself this year.
The hot and sour soup was mostly broth, and the moo shu chicken was horrible and served to me on a dirty plate. I tried it one time after that, and they served me the dumplings like frozen ones I could have bought at Sam's.
I have eaten at the Flaming Wok probably 10 times this year and have not gotten stuck once. They have the best moo she chicken I have ever eaten; same thing goes for the hot and sour soup.

Couldn't disagree more! We went before and after the hype and had positively amazing dishes each time. To be fair, we didn't try the dishes you mentioned. Maybe you went during the peak hype period? We've certainly heard about some bad experiences when things were at their craziest.
@Tom Jakubowski: Seriously, you claim: "It was the two worst meals for myself this year". #1. A soup SHOULD be "mostly broth". #2.What do you mean: You "have eaten at the Flaming Wok probably 10 times this year and have not gotten stuck once."? Please Explain.
Is it proper to be including the dude's email address? Especially not obscured by using [AT] or (Dot) or other tools to prevent spiders from stealing email addresses off the net to spam?

Great Performances: Vienna Philharmonic Summer Night Concert 2013
(Rochester, New York) – Distinguished conductor Lorin Maazel leads the fifth annual Vienna Philharmonic Summer Night Concert 2013 concert to be telecast on Great Performances, Friday, August 2 at 9 p.m. on WXXI-TV. This year's gala concert revolves around the works of Richard Wagner and Giuseppe Verdi, both of whom would have celebrated their 200th birthday this year, and features German Canadian tenor soloist Michael Schade.
The outdoor concert in the magnificent baroque gardens of Imperial Schönbrunn Palace is free to thousands of attendees in Vienna, and serves the orchestra's objective of making classical music accessible to a broad spectrum of concertgoers beyond its usual, core audience. The concert was recorded May 30 during a windswept rainstorm.
From Verdi comes the triumphal march from "Aida," the overtures to "La Forza del Destino" as well as "La mia letizia infondere" from "I Lombardi." The Wagner selections include the Grail Narrative from "Lohengrin" and music from his operas "The Mastersingers of Nuremberg," "Tristan and Isolde," and "Die Walküre."
Maazel, a former child prodigy, conducted his first concert at the age of nine years. In his career to date, he has worked with around 200 orchestras and is currently Music Director of the Munich Philharmonic, and Executive and Artistic Director of the Castleton Festival. He has a close relationship with the Vienna Philharmonic, and has conducted the New Year's Concert in the Golden Hall of the Vienna Musikverein (an annual tradition on Great Performances) no fewer than 11 times.

Traian Orban leads the "Memorial of the Revolution of Timisoara 16-22 December 1989" Association, founded in 1990 to commemorate the victims of the Romanian revolution.
In December 1989 Orban was working as a veterinarian in a cooperative 45 km from Timisoara. He recalls regularly tuning into Radio Free Europe to follow the events in Eastern Europe, from the fall of the Berlin wall to the events in Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Poland. On 16 December, he heard on the radio that father Laszlo Tokes, an outspoken critic of the Ceausescu regime, was being evicted from the reformed Hungarian Church in Timisoara. (The event was to set off a wave of protests that eventually transformed into a revolution.)
The following day Orban came to Timisoara to see for himself what was actually happening. A standoff was taking place, with soldiers and police squaring off against demonstrators. Orban immediately joined the street protests. Violence was to ensue. The security forces opened fire on the crowds. Two bullets pierced Orban's leg. Today, Orban considers himself lucky to have survived.
On 20 December, Timisoara woke up a free town. But the revolution had not yet been won in the rest of the country, including the capital Bucharest. Orban speaks with mixed feelings about what happened afterwards:
"I want to tell you that the revolution was successful. We got rid of communism, but not of the communists, and not of the Securitate."
Orban's association was founded to honour the victims of the revolution, but also to address the crimes committed during its progression. It has built 12 monuments to commemorate the events, particularly in those places where people had fallen dead. In 1995 the foundation was allocated an old town building by the City Hall. It now houses a museum of the revolution, an ecumenical chapel, and a documentary centre with a comprehensive collection of testimonials of people that participated in the 1989 manifestations.
The Museum features photographs taken in the days of the Revolution, items of clothing belonging to the troops – Militia, National Guards and Army – that were deployed to crack down on the protests, and biographical information about the victims and the persons that commanded the troops. Visitors can also watch a documentary about the events of 1989 and look at a series of drawings made by schoolchildren – for a painting contest – on the revolution in Timisoara.
Even though the building that houses the Memorial was provided by the City Hall for use over a 99 year period, a court in Timisoara recently found that the property should be returned to its former owners. The ruling has been appealed, but Traian Orban is more than disappointed:
"This government, as the previous one, does not care about the revolution. This is our history, Romania's history, Europe's history – now threatened with eviction."

Colorado wedding ceremony officiants share tips
While many couples continue to have traditional wedding ceremonies in churches and synagogues with their pastor, priest or rabbi officiating, Colorado offers a variety of officiant options.
By law, you don't need a judge or religious figure to perform a ceremony. All couples have to do is be 18, go to a county clerk and recorder's office, sign an application and pay the license fee. Then they have 30 days to conduct the wedding ceremony and return the signed license to the clerk and recorder's office.
Friends or family members are often enlisted by couples planning unconventional, outdoor, non-denominational, or multi-denominational vows. If they want to integrate an aspect of religion or utilize the services of a certified officiating party, they can find people to do that as well. Couples can expect to pay $238 on average for their officiant, according to Bridal Festivals.
Here's information about different types of officiants and ceremonies:
The outdoor Catholic ceremony
Who plans this kind of ceremony? Couples who have different religious backgrounds or have experienced a divorce that would restrict them from holding a traditional Catholic ceremony in a church. Although an outdoor Catholic ceremony is not recognized as a valid sacramental marriage by the church, a few priests will officiate outdoor ceremonies and sign marriage licenses as the legal officiating party. Denver-based Friar Martin Hunckler began serving in an active ministry with the Catholic church 32 years ago. He retired and seven years ago started a wedding ministry celebrating interfaith couples in outdoor settings. "I have found that most couples who end up seeking my services are looking for a little more formal and religious ceremony than they might otherwise get. My background as a Catholic priest lends itself to this type of ceremony," says Hunckler.
Benefits: Hiring a retired priest to officiate multi-denominational or outdoor wedding vows allows couples to integrate a variety of prayers, symbols and readings into their ceremony without the strict formality of the Catholic church. Couples also seek the help of an ordained minister to guarantee that their ceremony will be officiated by someone with experience and an eye for personalization. "I will usually meet with my couples two or three times before their wedding day to make sure that their celebration is exactly what they want," Hunckler says.
Things to consider: Ceremonies held outside of Catholic churches are not recognized as a valid sacramental marriage, but an ordained minister may sign a legally binding marriage license in Colorado. Says Hunckler, "It is not uncommon for couples to hold their formal celebration and reception after they have already shared their vows sacramentally in the Church."
How much does it cost? Catholic priests in Colorado have a wide variety of pricing based on the time of year, time of week, and travel requirements. Friar Hunckler suggests visiting his website for pricing guides.
Ceremonies officiated by friends or family
Who plans this kind of ceremony? Couples often ask a friend or family member to officiate their ceremony if they don't want religious vows, if they have someone in mind who is a great public speaker or if they're trying to save on costs.
Benefits: The person who officiates a friend or family member's ceremony doesn't have to be ordained. Colorado law allows couples to marry each other, or sign as the officiating party without an ordained minister or judge. Couples may also work with their officiating party to create a personalized ceremony.
Things to consider: Friends and family members may be nervous about officiating ceremonies if they've never done it before, so couples should politely ask the person they have in mind well in advance and keep a backup plan in mind. Another item to consider is guests from older generations who frown upon overly casual ceremonies that aren't held in a church setting. Says one Colorado officiate, "So many couples who come to me are still not sure of where their "faith walk" is going to take them; however, they don't want their friends and family thinking they are having some sort of too-casual-Pagan event."
How much does it cost? Attaining a marriage license in Colorado costs around $30 and varies by county. Most couples using the services of a friend or family member purchase a gift for their officiant and invite that person to their reception.
Multi-denominational or non-denominational ceremonies
Who plans this kind of ceremony? Interfaith marriages are increasingly common throughout America, and couples who want to honor various aspects of their faith, ancestry or symbolic union seek ordained ministers and judges to officiate. Reverend Bill Huth, chaplain of Estes Park's YMCA of the Rockies is an ordained minister who has officiated for a variety of of couples from multi-denominational backgrounds. "An ordained minister simply provides a faith connection to the wedding ceremony, which I think is very important as people start their married lives together," says Reverend Huth.
Benefits: Ministers and judges tend to be professional, prompt and can seamlessly integrate a wide variety of religious aspects and symbols into the ceremonies they lead. Plan on doing your research on officiants well before the wedding and meet with your officiant to ensure that your ceremony will be to your tastes. "The best advice I could give to couples of all faiths, but especially Catholics, would be to leave a lot of time to investigate and meet with all necessary people who might be involved in their wedding ceremony…A year before the date of the wedding is certainly not too early to begin this process," says Friar Hunckler.
Things to consider: Read your agreement with the officiant to ensure that they will be the same person officiating at your wedding. Discuss budgeting items such as rehearsal costs, travel fees and the length of your ceremony before signing an agreement or contract.
How much does it cost? Fees can vary greatly depending on your officiant's skill level, travel fees and if you hire them to conduct your rehearsal. Reverend Huth's pricing for Estes Park-area ceremonies starts at around $250, with price increases for traveling outside the area and attendance at rehearsals. He recommends that couples meet with him beforehand to discuss special pricing for military couples and unique ceremony situations. "My goal is to make every wedding ceremony unique and personal and that is done through my interaction with couples," Huth says.

Demand from high--frequency trading operations for speedy data transmission is reportedly revitalizing microwave technology.
While most high-frequency trading operations rely on fiber optic networks, basic physics limits signal speeds in the cables to about 200,000 kilometers (124,000 miles) per second. Microwaves, traveling through air, can approach the speed of light 300,000 kilometers (186,000 miles) per second, IT World reports -- hat tip Slashdot.
The downside for microwave technology is that it requires line of sight connection between transmitters and the maximum distance before a signal has to be repeated is about 186 miles. Rain and fog can also interfere with signals.
Still, the potential speed increases are driving demand for new rights of way, particularly in key corridors, such as New York and Chicago according to the report.

Miles returned from a trip to the home improvement store with Daddy, holding an empty Blizzard cup. Apparently he knows that I like him to eat healthy and not have too much sugar because the first thing he said was, "Mom, this is just a cup of ice and it comes with a spoon so you can scoop up the ice and eat the ice it's just ice."
So we talked about lying. I asked him to look at me and told him I don't mind if he has ice cream. I said he can always tell me the truth. Then I asked him what he had eaten and he said,
I suppose that's progress, getting just a little closer to the truth?
So I made a lame attempt at telling a story.
Miles promptly interrupts and says, "No, that's not the story! The story is that the monster comes to eat us but I came flying in because Buzz Lightyear helped. And I didn't know what to do so I was Superman so I wiped off his mouth with cardboard."
Oh. I'm sorry. I don't know how I could have gotten that story wrong.
Miles actually waited patiently for about a minute and then he gently said, "Mom, you forgot to unbuckle yus." I told him that I just needed a little more time and he asked why. I said I was thinking about baby Stellan. He sat quietly for another minute and I thought about how we've talked a little bit about Stellan, when we've prayed for him. But I was wondering if Miles really understands that sort of thing. I've simply told him that Stellan's heart isn't working right so the doctors are trying to fix it.
Then he said, "Mommy...I'm sad about that baby because that baby didn't do anything to have his heart not work right."
(Pregnant pause while I fight the tears and try to think of what to say.)
"You're right honey, that's what makes it especially sad."

"I had a wonderful breakfast with two retired couples over at Cocoa, Gerry and Jan and John and Shirley … After a lifetime of work, they've been able to save enough to have a comfortable retirement, but that's only because Medicare is there, rock-solid for them; only because we have made that commitment that says if you work hard all your life, then you should have some basic security—not to live lavishly, but to know that it's going to be there for you."
As part of his post-convention bus tour through Florida, President Obama sat down with a few Florida seniors to talk about their Medicare—then he took his message to the crowd in Melbourne, Florida.
"[Medicare] is going to be part of what's at stake in this election. Now, I've already strengthened Medicare. We've already added years to the life of Medicare by getting rid of taxpayer subsidies to insurance companies that weren't making people any healthier, and in fact, were making things more expensive for everybody.
"So we used part of those savings to help lower the cost of prescription drugs and offer free preventive care to seniors. I thought that was a good idea. For some reason, my opponents think it's a bad idea. So they want to give the money back to the insurance companies and then put them in charge of Medicare.
"In fact, one report just said that by the end of the next decade, our opponent's plan would mean as much as $16 billion to $26 billion in new profits for insurance companies. So basically, your costs would rise by the thousands so that their profits could rise by the billions.
"So here's the bottom line. Their voucher plan for Medicare would bankrupt Medicare. Our plan strengthens Medicare. No American should have to spend their golden years at the mercy of insurance companies. They should retire with the dignity and the respect and the care that they have earned."
There's only 57 days to go—keep up with the President on the campaign trail.

1) Do Detects placed in a sense type "inherit" the standard package of traits? For example, does a Visual Detect Magic automatically inherit Acute and Accurate? The language in UP seems to suggest this: "All visual senses", etc.)
It seems obvious enough that Detects do not inherit Range. And it doesn't quite sit right with me to say that the Visual Detect Magic is automatically Acute (able to tell the difference between different kinds of magic, for example). Yet I can't imagine a visual sense that isn't Accurate. (Or an auditory sense that isn't Radius, for that matter.)
2) If sense traits are indeed inherited, what traits should Radio and Mental sense types grant by default? (Again, Radius seems like a gimme for Radio. I have no real idea about Mental.)
3) Just how is the Radio sense bought, anyway? Does it have a build in terms of simpler things, or is the cost just eyeballed?
Ask M&M 2e rules questions that your fellow gamers can't answer. Only Mutants & Masterminds Line Developer (and creator) Steve Kenson can post replies. He visits the boards in between projects and convention appearances so please be patient!

U.S. citizens in Lebanon should "exercise extreme caution" in high-profile public places, the U.S. Embassy in Beirut warned Sunday.
After a string of deadly blasts in the capital, Americans need to "exercise extreme caution and to avoid hotels, Western-style shopping centers, including Western-style grocery chain stores, and any public or social events where U.S. citizens normally congregate, as these sites are likely targets for terrorist attacks for at least the near term."
The U.S. Embassy has issued warnings in the past, but this new language appears to be a strong step up in seriousness.

I have an itch to expand our Battleground options. I think battlegrounds are best, both for size and availability to the average gamer. Here's what would be required, and the way I would love them to play out.
- A minimum of two new battlegrounds
- A new level of flight training
- New battleground specific mounts/vehicles
- NPC targets
Aerial combat
This idea spawned from the joy I get from flying into the Caverns of Time and my desire to race my carpet in there… Which really has nothing to do with combat, but I think CoT would make a great battleground.
The basic premise is Horde v. Alliance mounted aerial combat. There are a couple of phases to it though...
Phase one: Earning your wings.
This is the painful stage. In this phase you use flying mounts in a manner similar to those in WoLK.
You have a pet bar, you use the stock standard abilities, but they have been scaled back a bit, so that the damage done and taken related to the toon in control.
When you run out of health, down you go… Mounts don't have health per se, but you are using their offensive or defensive abilities.
Once you have managed a certain number of flights, kills, wins etc you earn your wings and your new level of flying skill.
Phase 2: Air Captain
Once you have earned your wings, things change dramatically.
Now, when you are on your flying mount, you have full use of your own class specific abilities.
As you are mounted, you aren't moving as such, so you are not limited to instant cast abilities, 3 second fireballs are perfectly viable, assuming your opponent stays in range for 3 seconds.
So where the added level of difficulty comes in here is "casting" from a mobile unit, at targets mounted on mobile units, which are likely to leave your range or go out of LoS at any moment.
Can you maintain range and LoS with your target, while ducking and weaving from your opponents attacks?
Can your healer maintain healing range of your aerial strike force while dodging incoming attacks?
NPC objectives
How about we throw in a bit of "destroy stationary targets" as well. Maybe you are meant to be destroying a town via some bombs, maybe you need to take out the anti-aircraft turrets to reduce the incoming flak?
Let's also introduce a new multi-toon flying mount. A bomber. The pilot is also the bomber, their objective being to take down the ground objectives. At their side is another player. Maybe a healer to keep the bomber in the air, maybe a dps to remove opposition aerial threats.
You choose, your faster personal "fighter" mount, or the slower, battleground supplied bomber.
Personally I see Gnomeaggedon scooting about on my flying carpet launching fireballs to hurt and frostbolts to slow.
Sea combat
I love a dose of battleships, and that area where you are bombing the ships from the Zeppelin really inspires me for more.
So here's my idea. 40 v 40 battleground with a choice of vehicles.
- Battleships: 10 man, heavily armored, heavily armed, but slower ships.
- Patrol boats: 5 man faster but less armored and armed boats.
- Bombers: similar to the zeppelins, with fixed flight paths.
- Kamikaze mounts. Single use death machines (imagine yourself strapped to a skyrocket).
Ship bound combat
Combat can either be conducted via the "ship" mounted weapons, or via class specific skills.
When water vehicles are in range, the grappling hook skill can be used to come along side and board the opposition boat. The opposition have 20 seconds to destroy the grappling hooks before boarding will commence. However multiple grappling hooks may be launched at a time.
When boarding occurs, hand to hand combat commences. On top of the single deck in the case of Patrol boats, above and below deck in the case of battleships.
Keep it, Break it, Fix it
More for me
When the crew of a ship is defeated, this ship now changes possession to the opposition. If they choose to use it, they now have an additional warship.
Scuttle it
Optionally they may scuttle the ship, a process that takes 3 minutes to complete.
If the ship isn't scuttled, then it can be taken back.
However, damage that occurs to the ships also effects their usefulness. Some of the attacks (ship or player) are targetable. Sails, guns, rudder are specifically targetable, thus it is possible to incapacitate opposition ships.
Bring an Engineer, or two
Damage sustained to the ships can be repaired, but only by engineers. Gnomes have an advantage with defenses/propulsion, Goblins with armaments.
Death from above
While your troops are battling it out on the water, some of your troops have the option of taking to the sky
Bombs Away
Join the Zeppelin crew and drop rain fiery doom from above in the form of bombs.
These Zeppelins have a defined flight path you can't change.
These are AoE attacks and don't target specific parts of the enemies ships. They will of course damage the toons manning the ships as well as weakening the armor and arms on the ship in a more general fashion.
Occasionally the opposing Zeppelins will cross paths, which raises a new opportunity for death and destruction…
- Use your class skills against the opposition forces manning the Zeppelin.
- Board the opposition Zeppelin and clear out the enemy (don't miss the jump)
- Use the enemies Zeppelin as an additional platform to launch bombs from.
- Lurk in wait below decks for the enemy to board their Zeppelin and take them out from behind.
Don't worry about the neutral Goblin Captains, they don't care who is dropping bombs, they just get paid to guide the Zeppelins through the sky.
Enemy eluding your Zeppelin's flight path?
Don't worry take direct, if drastic action.
You are the bomb!
Strap yourself to a harpoon and launch yourself at the enemy before you explode. It's possible to guide the harpoon to some extent, but you will want to make sure you are pointing in the correct general direction before you launch that harpoon… you don't want your death to be in wasted…
The Sky and the Seas are the limit!
What do you think?
Remember only 1 more days to get your Blogday gifts to me… (but I will give you until Sunday 21st… 3 days in total!)
Gnomer and Out!

One of the best things about any entry level physics course is building a pinhole camera. It usually involves simple materials, but it's still a challenging exercise, and an educational one at that — your basic pinhole camera can provide an excellent introduction to the concepts surrounding light and optics.
In short: pinhole cameras are kind of the bee's knees, which is what makes this project by Lomography Magazine's Francesco Capponi so very, very cool. See, the Lomography community is all about analog photography — that means they're into historic, traditional photography practices that also happen to lend themselves well to hack-tastic, DIY projects like pinhole cameras. But Capponi wanted to take things a step further:
Since I started pin-holing the world, I have had the strong desire to make a special camera, with the purpose of shooting just one photograph. The purpose was to sacrifice the camera in the process of photo creation – I wanted the camera to become the photograph. To let you understand, the process from the camera to the photograph is the same that ties the baby bird to the egg: the bird grows protected from the shell and when it's ready breaks it and comes out. This is why I decided to create the Pinhegg – An Egg Pinhole Camera.
Using an egg, some liquid photographic emulsion, photographic acid, tape, and a few other materials, Capponi did exactly that. Best of all: he's written up an instructional on the entire assembly process. Click through the link below for the full walkthrough.

Imagine you and your friends are at a party and you see a guy grabbing his girlfriend's arm and yelling at her. She looks at you and is clearly scared. What would you do?
We are looking for students: leaders, athletes, club members, residential staff – anyone interested in specialized training in bystander intervention.
The Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP) program, founded in 1993 at Northeastern University, motivates student leaders to play a central role in solving crucial problems including sexual assault, relationship violence and harassment. Utilizing a unique bystander approach to prevention, the highly interactive curriculum sparks discussions among the students that convey concrete options for both men and women to interrupt, confront and prevent violence by their friends, peers, or teammates. Program participants also develop leadership skills and learn to serve as role models to mentor and educate their peers as well as younger students on these issues. The approach does not involve finger-pointing or blame – instead it sounds a positive call for proactive, preventative behavior and leadership.
At the conclusion of the training, DCC MVP students will receive a certificate of completion and will be offered opportunities to provide training for other students and set a positive example in the community.
For further information, contact Counseling Services at (845) 431-8040.

The Hyundai Elantra is powered by one of three efficient engines. The base engine is a 2.0L 4-cylinder unit that produces 147 horsepower and is mated to either a 6-speed automatic or a 6-speed manual. Hyundai has pulled out all the stops to increase efficiency, with resulting mileage ratings of 29 mpg in the city and 38 mpg on the highway. An optional 1.4L turbocharged engine is even more fuel efficient, producing 128 horsepower while making more torque than the standard 2.0. The only transmission choice for this turbocharged engine is a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic. Hyundai estimates about 35 mpg in combined city and highway driving for the more advanced drivetrain. Finally, a 1.6L turbocharged four is standard on the Elantra Sport. It makes 201 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque and can be paired with either the 6-speed manual or the 7-speed automatic.
The 2018 Hyundai Elantra comes in six trims: SE, SEL, Value, Eco, Sport and Limited. In keeping with Hyundai's philosophy of offering top value for the money, the SE comes relatively well equipped for the segment. Powered by the 2.0L engine, standard features include 15-inch steel wheels, projector beam headlights with daytime running lights, air conditioning, premium cloth seats with 6-way adjustability for the front seats, steering-wheel-mounted audio and cruise controls, and a 6-speaker CD/MP3 player.
The new SEL trim adds a standard 6-speed automatic transmission with Shiftronic manual upshift and downshift control, 4-wheel disc brakes, 16-inch alloy wheels, a rearview camera, blindspot detection with rear cross-traffic alert and lane change assist, heated side mirrors, automatic headlights, SiriusXM satellite radio, a seven-inch touchscreen display, and support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Value models are equipped similarly to the SEL but also feature LED daytime running lights, a hands-free trunk, door handle approach lights, a power sunroof, dual automatic temperature control, a one-touch auto-up driver's window, heated front seats, push-button start, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.
The Eco trim, with its turbocharged 1.4L engine, rides on 15-inch alloy wheels, and is otherwise equipped like the SEL and Value models. The Elantra Sport, meanwhile, utilizes the powerful 1.6L turbo engine and upgrades the rear torsion beam axle found across the lineup for a multi-link independent rear suspension that is sport tuned for added performance. Larger front brakes are standard, as are 18-inch alloy wheels, side mirrors with integrated turn signals, a sport front grille and fascia, HID headlights with LED taillights, leather seating with sport front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, and a sport instrument cluster.
Finally, the Limited trim adds nearly $5000 to the base price, but includes everything needed to transform the Elantra from a compact to a compact luxury car. It looks the part, too, and features 17-inch alloy wheels, LED daytime running lights, LED taillights, automatic dynamic headlights, the intelligent hands-free trunk, side mirror turn signals, chrome exterior door handles with LED lighting, a powered driver's seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, a 3.5-inch TFT multi-information display, and a blindspot detection system with rear cross-traffic alert.
A Premium Package is available for the Elantra Sport and offers navigation with an eight-inch touchscreen, an eight-speaker Infinity audio system, Blue Link telematics system, dual automatic climate control, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror with HomeLink and a compass. On the Limited, the Ultimate Package adds navigation and the Infinity audio system, plus a power sunroof, heated rear seats, and a suite of advanced safety technologies like smart cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, and more.
The 4-door hatchback Elantra GT comes in both regular and Sport trims. The Base GT uses the same 2.0L as the sedan but it's tuned to make 161 horsepower. All Elantra GTs are available with a 6-speed manual transmission, which makes it very appealing to those who might otherwise consider a Volkwagen GTI or Honda Civic hatchback Sport. The base GT includes high-end features such as 17-inch alloy wheels, an 8-way power driver seat and a premium audio system including an 8-inch display SiriusXM and Bluetooth as well as Apple Car Play and Android Auto.
The Sport trim gets a turbocharged 1.6L engine that makes an impressive 201 horses. While the other Elantras feature a torsion-beam rear suspension, the Sport upgrades it to a multi-link setup for even better handling. Other upgrades include leather-wrapped seats, which are also heated, the wheels get upgraded to 18" alloys the climate control becomes dual-zone. Standard safety features now include blind-spot monitoring.

While i like the action and battle scenes for the style and look of it. there isn't much of a feeling of danger. I've been rewatching the cartoon network volume 1 this morning and this current series could of used a few touches of the first clonewars animation. One is the dialogue is minimal and works very well. second they do have a feeling of danger with durge and ventress and both characters push obi and anakin to a point of defeat before being defeated themselfs. The movie could of used another darkside disciple that could of been killed. i know in the comics dooku had ventress, skorr, vos for awhile, and sora bulq.
As soon as I heard Ebert gave it a low rating, I figured it should be pretty good.
Sadly that sense of danger will never strike us though because we all know how the story ends However for ashoka that sense of danger can still be there as with Rex(did he just replace alpha arc?). The movie IMO was great, from beginning to end I was entertained and heck I want more. What we need now is more new jedi characters so that sense of danger and suspense as you were tlaking about can still be there. cause as it is right now the only danger that can happen to sky guy is getting his robo claw cut off every now and then.
Stinky was a well done character in his own right, and seeing his reunion with Jabba was very cute.

Last night, I was tired from lifting hard in the morning. I ran just over 5.5 miles at just under a 10 pace. Pretty boring.
Then, it was time to go see the motivational speaker. I think the guy used every sports cliche in the English language except the old "There is no 'I' in team".
It was difficult to listen to a guy talking so much about conditioning and effort during practice when he was so clearly overweight and out of shape. He also spent a lot of time talking about education, but he clearly never learned anything about English grammar. My son and I agree that it was a big waste of time. For a "required" event, it was very disappointing.
I'm a little bit sore today in my glutes - pretty common after a leg day in the gym. I'm planning some marathon pace miles tonight, and hopefully my legs will feel OK. If I'm still beat from last weekend and yesterday's lifting, I'll simply back off.
Tomorrow, I'm planning to lift (upper body) in the morning and then maybe do an easy run with the dogs at night. I still haven't decided what to do on Saturday.

|Garden of the Gods
So if being in the military wasn't enough to throw those pesky descendants off my trail, we're moving again. I know, I know...we aren't in the military anymore, but it matters not. We're on our way to Colorado Springs!
I'm excited. Very excited. Colorado Springs is a gorgeous area. But I'm a bit sad too. My boys are in an awesome school and we got close to quite a few people here. We weren't really thinking that we'd be leaving Killeen, Texas...at least not until retirement, when we'll no doubt join the great Packer fans of Wisconsin.
So getting close makes this move harder. I was close to many people while I was in the military, but you expect to move every few years. It's just different. I'm leaving behind great people, but thank goodness for Facebook, FaceTime, and Skype!
So I'll look at the positive points. Gorgeous area. Lots of outdoor stuff to do. Four seasons...yay, snow! Adventure! Only about a one day drive to Salt Lake City (time for my first visit!)
My resolutions which will make this move an even more positive one:
1) I will not become PTA/PTO-involved for a minimum of one year. I'll join whatever parent organization the schools have, but I'll just have to give them a wrong phone number or something. Take my dues and leave me alone for a couple years. Lay low...
2) I will be my 6 year old's Tiger Den Leader or Assistant Tiger Den Leader, but I will not have one of the Committee positions in either Cub Scout Pack or Boy Scout Troop for at least one or two years.
3) I will finally head out to the Family History Library!
4) I will crank up my genealogical studies. Either by more online courses and webinars, or (preferably) by taking the Boston University certificate program or Monterey Peninsula College's program.
5) Once I feel comfortable back in the genealogy world, I'll be heading for my certification.
So maybe this move isn't a bad one. It looks like it will be freeing up my time so I can refocus on my business. Here's hoping anyway!

The student posted an apology Monday afternoon.
SARASOTA, Fla. — A Sarasota student who asked his girlfriend to prom with a racist sign apologized, according to an image provided by the school district, and his family later released a statement apologizing as well, saying he would not participate in any more school functions, including prom and graduation.
The student, 18-year-old Riverview High senior Noah Crowley, garnered national attention for his prom proposal to his girlfriend with a sign that read, "If I was black I'd be picking cotton, but I'm white so I'm picking u 4 prom?" The female student sent an image of Crowley's sign via Snapchat with a caption of two heart-eye emojis.
Crowley used the same platform, Snapchat, to apologize on Monday, based on a widely spread image on social media of what appears to be a lengthy apology the district said was written by Crowley.
"I want to sincerely apologize if I have offended anyone with the picture going around," reads the photo caption, thought to be written by Crowley. "That was not my intention. Anyone who knows me or … knows that that's not how we truly feel. It was a complete joke and it went too far. After reading the texts and Snapchats I truly see how I have offended people and I'm sorry."
The Crowley family released a statement via email Tuesday evening, apologizing for its son's conduct.
"While our son has apologized himself, on behalf of our family, we wish to also express our most sincere apologies for the terrible words used in his 'promposal.' We love our son dearly and know that he is a far better person than reflected in this reckless behavior," the statement read. "That said, as loving parents, we also feel compelled to share our own deep regret and serious concern about his actions."
The family says that it decided, along with Riverview administrators, that Crowley will not attend any further school activities or functions, including prom and graduation.
"As a family, we truly recognize this incident is a very difficult but important life lesson and pledge to do all we can to ensure that nothing like this ever happens again," the statement reads. "Certainly, we hope that all of the people and communities who were hurt and offended will forgive our son and family."
Crowley could not be personally reached for comment through a Facebook message, and a call to a phone number believed to be associated with his father was not returned.
Two Riverview students, seniors Reagan Fox and Anton Kernohan, who are involved with gun control activism at the school, also released a statement Monday night, writing that it was "on behalf of Riverview's student body."
"The simple wording of this extremely inappropriate racial slur has shocked the majority of the Riverview student population along with much of our administration," the students wrote. "It is absolutely disheartening that opinions such as these are still present in current generations. It shows that racism is still alive and thriving and that there needs to be a continuation of fighting for equality to rid of this hate once and for all."
But Fox and Kernohan praised the administration for handling the sign "in an excellent and appropriate manner, as they typically do with issues like this."
Riverview administrators have gathered a group of students from each grade to "begin solving the problem of racism" within the school, they wrote.
"These divides and tensions, especially within the last few weeks, are growing and they need to be suppressed immediately," Fox and Kernohan wrote in their release. "Hopefully, whatever solution we come up with, we will accomplish this."
The students' response comes in stark contrast to a Facebook post that circulated Sunday night from Erin Williams, who has said in other interviews that she is a graduating senior at the school.
Her post details what she called a "race war" occurring at Riverview, including multiple incidents where a student had a banana thrown at him and black students were called monkeys and the n-word in a social media post.
"All of which RIVERVIEW STAFF and administration knows about and has done nothing," Williams wrote Sunday. "They're letting these kids walk freely around expressing racism and told us, 'If you touch anyone, we will suspend you and not let you graduate.' This is what Riverview High School is letting their students do and basically telling us black kids to deal with it."
Her post has been shared more than 1,400 times on Facebook and received almost 600 comments from Facebook users. One of the original tweets depicting the Snapchat image of Crowley and his prom sign has been retweeted more than 16,000 times and liked more than 25,000 times.
The investigation into Crowley's conduct is ongoing, district spokeswoman Tracey Beeker said. But she added that she could not comment on what disciplinary outcomes might be recommended at this point because of student privacy laws.
Although the Herald-Tribune asked to speak with Riverview Principal Kathy Wilks, Beeker said she was unavailable for comment. Beeker instead focused on how the district plans to go forward.
"Yesterday, the school district held a really formal conversation with a cross-section of students. Those students talked to us about things like socioeconomic divide, racial, ethnic and gender inequalities. In addition, some of the students voiced their concerns about racial tensions at the school," Beeker said. "What the school district is going to be working on, especially with Trevor Harvey with the NAACP, is to be able to learn more from our students and to come up with a good course of action. We want students to know that we're listening to them and we're hearing them."
Superintendent Todd Bowden did not respond to a request for comment.
Based on data the district provided to the Florida Department of Education for the 2016-17 school year, more than 67 percent of Riverview's student population is white, almost 17 percent Hispanic and 8 percent black.
While local NAACP chapter president Trevor Harvey has said he plans to work with the school district to facilitate conversations on race, Black Lives Matter Manasota president Shakira Refos said those discussions need to be "uncomfortable" to inspire people to change.
Conversations about race on a district-level are often cloaked in other terms, like "underserved populations" and "the achievement gap," which refers to the discrepancies in academic performance between students of varying racial groups and socioeconomic status. But Refos said people need to talk about their actions and not just "meritocracies."
She added that, unlike other civic issues, people often have difficulty talking about race because they can't put the blame on something totally outside of themselves.
"People don't want to talk about racism because it makes them uncomfortable," she said. "They're comfortable talking about gun issues because they can point at other things in their community or their surroundings. But when you start dissecting the root cause of racism and racist behavior, white people don't want to have that discussion, and that's why they don't listen to black kids — because it will open up a discussion that they don't want to have."

British businesses and members of the public lost a combined £10.9 billion pounds to fraud last year, according to new figures from anti-fraud groups.
Averaged across the whole adult population of the UK that equates to around £210 per person, but Action Fraud and Get Safe Online warn that the real figure is likely to be even higher.
Those polled by the group who said they had been a victim of online crime lost an average of £523 each but almost 40 per cent of victims said they hadn't bothered to report the incident. More than a third (38 per cent) said they felt the matter was too trivial to report and a similar number (37 per cent) said they felt there was nothing that could be done about it.
According to the research 89 per cent of people were concerned about online safety and security but a quarter said they had only a limited understanding of the risks and how to protect themselves.
The study found that many Britons are still not taking the basic steps to keep themselves safe online, prompting the national fraud and cybercrime reporting agency to urge people to take their internet security more seriously
As many as 43 per cent of respondents said that they use the same password for multiple online accounts and even when warned to change a password after a security breach 12 per cent didn't follow the advice.
The research also showed that respondents only update their security software every eight and a half months and a fifth do not update their device operating systems at all.
When it came to taking care of personal information, nearly a quarter (23 per cent) said they never updated their privacy settings on social media, with 58 per cent saying they did not know how to.
Tony Neate, chief executive of Get Safe Online, said: "The fact that the UK is losing nearly £11bn to cyber criminals is frightening and highlights the need for each and every one of us to make sure we are taking our online safety seriously. It is clear from our survey that people are very concerned, and rightly so.
"The fact that over a third of people felt there was nothing that could have been done to stop them becoming a victim is alarming indeed – particularly when it's so easy to protect yourself online.
"Also, as our research shows, people are losing large sums of money on average - £523 being the equivalent of a holiday abroad or the price of a new piece of technology in the home.
"As a result, it seems there is still a big education job to do. Let's not let cyber criminals get away with it anymore by ensuring that each and every one of us is updating the operating systems of our various devices and ensuring security software is always updated.
"What's more we all need to ensure that we have a different password for each online account we own and website we visit. Online safety needs to be part of our everyday routines."

IDEs are the working environment of choice for most developers today. While there are some redoubts where partisans still cling to emacs or descendants of vi, it's safe to say that the market for programming editors has been largely displaced by IDEs. And for good reason. IDEs bundle an astounding amount of useful technology delivered in a familiar environment that is very capable of automating complex tasks across large code bases.
The most famous IDE today is without a doubt Eclipse, which is a product originally developed for (not by) IBM and released shortly after NetBeans, the IDE that was acquired by Sun Microsystems. Both IDEs implemented (in their own way) a goal first articulated in the late 1980s by David Intersimone (aka "David I"), the well-known developer evangelist for Borland (today, he's at Embarcadero Technologies); namely, that every line of code would become an entry into a database that the environment could then analyze and extend in automated ways useful to the developer.
IDEs have done that and far more. It's hard to believe that nowadays medium-sized projects (>100KLOCs) can be well served in editors alone. The need for navigation tools and automation of refactoring across many modules is so great when code bases reach that size that pure editors are increasingly the wrong tool. Invariably, there are diehards who can manage the trick with editors, but they know it's a question of scale before their solution gives out.
IDEs, however, are not a perfect answer. On small projects, they frequently feel like (and actually are) overkill. To bang out a program of a few thousand lines of code requires creating a project (in Eclipse, you'd first have to create a workspace, then the project), defining complex dependencies, and then finally begin coding. If any setting is misconfigured, the IDE balks or starts working against the developer's intent and suddenly requires careful tending. Editors don't do any of this. They open fast and rip through small tasks with ease. The more scripting-like the language, the more editors have appeal. Editors have their role in the low end, IDEs everywhere else.
However, it may be that IDEs as we've known them over the last 15 years are about to undergo important changes. The biggest driver is the cloud. Increasingly, services like CloudBees are making it possible to have the code and the entire toolchain reside in the cloud. Either a local IDE or a cloud-based environment provide the developer access to the code. This model inexpensively removes a lot of the build infrastructure from IT sites, and creates an expandable development and build platform whose headaches can be managed by others. A more traditional approach to this solution is also being offered by Atlassian as a hosted service of all its key products. (Contegix does something similar.)
On the client side, we are moving into a post-PC era, in which the coding work is increasingly being done on laptops and more recently, tablets. While tablets as coding devices might seem a bit peculiar at first blush, it is definitely the dernier cri. Mike Riley's blog posts have begun exploring this paradigm and its effects on programming.
If you use IDEs in their traditional manner, as I do, you'll find it frustrating if you have to change products because you're coding on a different platform. The folks at Xamarin (formerly the Mono team) have solved this for coders in the .NET languages by providing tools that work equally on Linux, Windows, and mobile devices (which garnered them a Jolt Productivity award this year). But if you're a C or C++ developer, you're forced to adopt Visual Studio on Windows and Eclipse on Linux. I've never liked this duality. So, this week in Dr. Dobb's, we have an article on how to run Eclipse for both Windows and Linux projects. The author goes into detail about how to configure the IDE so that you can seamlessly code for either platform without changing IDEs. Predictably, there are gotchas along both paths, but the author works you through them. In this way, Eclipse becomes a universal C/C++ front end, which greatly simplifies portable development.
As you see, we're starting off the new year with the usual practical, hands-on kind of coverage we especially enjoy delivering. To a great new year, then!
