Apple announced on Friday a contest to celebrate and promote the countdown to 25 billion downloads from the App Store. As the company did to celebrate the 10 billion mark in January of 2011, the prize for downloading the 25 billionth app is a $US10,000 iTunes Gift Card.
Apple ended up celebrating the 10 billion download mark in January, and then announced in July that it had crossed the 15 billion download mark. While that five billion count took a little less than six months, it has taken just seven months to move the next ten billion apps, an impressive feat that could well be why part of why developers remain more committed to iOS even while Android has more market share.
As of this writing, the count stands at some 24,298,299,365 downloads. If past promotions are any indication, it will take a little less than a week to hit the promotional 25 billion mark.
You can read the official rules for the promotion for information about entering the contest without actually purchasing anything.

On Monday night, linebacker Myles Jack was asked again about his potential future at running back — a question he's fended off time and time again since erupting for seven touchdowns in four games last season.
Though running backs coach Kennedy Polamalu hasn't given up on recruiting him to offense, Jack said his heart remains set on being a full-time linebacker. That is, unless a certain former UCLA star asks him to do both.

Bronco Mendenhall says he and his BYU coaches and players are excited about the challenge of having a two-quarterback system this season. They're excited about the possibilities and about remaking the offense to accommodate it. They're just excited.
"Everyone is excited because they really like both quarterbacks," the coach told KSL's Voice of the Cougars, Greg Wrubell, earlier this week.
Right, and we're excited about having a giant case of the flu. It's a new challenge. If we're lucky, maybe we'll all get a good paper cut, too.
Is Bronco kidding? Donald Rumsfeld couldn't have sugarcoated it any better. If you don't speak doublespeak, here is the rough translation of what the coach was saying: Work with us here; we're still trying to make a decision.
"It's kind of invigorating having a different organizational challenge," Mendenhall continued. "Our offensive staff has a new challenge."
This is like hearing Capt. Smith of the Titanic say, "This is going to be fun trying to dodge icebergs in the North Atlantic in the middle of the night. Our navigators are enjoying the challenge of trying not to hit one."
Mendenhall continued: "How do we design a lot of what we've been doing that has been successful and keep that part, preserving the core yet stimulating progress for each quarterback in addition, and have the time to practice it all? Or reduce it enough to where you can practice enough? (BYU offensive coaches) like that challenge, and ultimately it will make us better."
Sheesh, if two quarterbacks are this fun, why not three? Or four? One per quarter? Is James Lark available? Move over, Riley Nelson and Jake Heaps.
Imagine BP executives saying, "We are very excited about the challenge of plugging the leak and cleaning up the mess we made. Things were just going too smoothly while we were making all that money."
We're supposed to believe that coaches are happy about a two-headed quarterback monster? About having to revamp the offense? About deciding when one player sits and the other plays and when to change again? About all the second-guessing that's sure to follow? About how to handle the quarterbacks' feelings and how to keep them happy? About how to prevent teammates from taking sides?
This is high on the list of football coaching commandments: Thou shalt not split time between two quarterbacks. It's like marriage: You can only pick one.
The dual-quarterback offense means coaches couldn't make a decision and now they're going to use games as an extended tryout. They almost always end up picking one quarterback over the other before the season ends. Meanwhile, it's divisive for fans and players, and offenses work about as well as a Ford Pinto. It's trouble.
Look at it this way: If dual quarterbacks are such a good idea, how come almost no team ever does it at any level — pro, college, high school, little league? No coach likes it. It's the kind of thing you'd wish on your archrivals.
Not that it has never worked. People win the lottery, too.
It's a mystery. On paper, it looks like alternating quarterbacks would work the same way rotating running backs and wide receivers works. But it has been tried and debated for decades, and nobody really understands it or succeeds with it. There are some intangibles about quarterback play that are difficult to quantify or explain — things like leader, confidence, momentum.
It's like having two captains on a ship, two commanders in chief, two offensive coordinators, two CEOs. It's just awkward and problematic.
But Florida won a national championship with two quarterbacks a few years ago, you say? There are some exceptions, but this wasn't the same thing. Tim Tebow took a few reps in place of Chris Leak each game to run the ball or throw a short pass and then he returned to the sideline. The team's quarterback clearly was Leak.
If you want to know how the dual-quarterback offense works, look at BYU's own history. Sean Covey and Ty Detmer didn't work. Jim McMahon and Marc Wilson shared the job in 1978. It got ugly. LaVell Edwards referred to it as his least enjoyable season as a head coach and said he wouldn't do it again. BYU's former All-American quarterbacks are going to gather for Saturday's season-opener against Washington; ask them how they feel about two quarterbacks.
Memo to Y. fans: Better get an early start on the quarterback controversy. It's going to happen, guaranteed. Fans and teammates will pick a side. By this time next week, the controversy will be off and running. Who do you like, the lefty, Riley Nelson, or the kid, Jake Heaps?

We traveled beyond Eastsiderland to Pasadena on Saturday to take in some some of the best and brightest musical acts from Echo Park and Silver Lake at the city's annual toast to independent music. Make Music Pasadena featured over 100 artists on over 30 stages performing throughout the day. From singer/songwriters to rock quintets, some of the most buzzed about musicians made a showing that declared the Eastside home to one of the most fruitful music scenes not only in Southern California, but the country.
The Silver Lake trio Superhumanoids has had a steady diet of touring already this year. In preparation for the release of their album Exhibitionists on June 11, they have been making the rounds with fellow Silver Lake band, Local Natives. Perhaps this and the intense heat on Saturday had taken their toll. For all that Superhumanoids lacked in showmanship, they certainly made up for, however, in the stoic, sharp delivery of their music.
With a diligent sound check, the trio made sure that without question they would deliver a stellar set. And indeed, their set exploded like a rocket for a sonic trip that was one of the most emotionally enveloping of the day. The dream/ synth-pop act has the uncanny ability to capture music that is both danceable and enigmatically alluring. It is pop music with an underbelly. Their delivery of "Geri" best portrays the band's machinations of '80s synth and today's pop. A musical cocktail of idealized '80s excesses, the last rarefied shreds of Regan-era innocence, and modern verve.
Guitarist and co-vocalist Cameron Parkins worked a delicate love affair with the mic. His vocal style was at once chilling and magnetic. As a whole, I wanted more from Superhumanoids on stage. Their music – and particularly Sarah Chernoff's voice – so captured me that I was yearning for more interaction from group. Often there was a lull between songs as we waited for many of the sound effects and synths to gear up, a break from the flow that had just been generated by the heat of the last song. Parkins offered the much of the band's showmanship both in his fancy footwork, and in striking up a rapport with Max St. John on keys, that allowed the two to feed off one another.
Simone White
Over in laid back Memorial Park is where I found singer/songwriter Simone White serenading concert goers from the humble amphitheater stage. In great contrast to the many electro pop or indie rock acts that dotted the stages of Make Music Pasadena, White was stark and often let the silence speak for her as much as the actual notes of her music. The way her articulated cadence let the silence dance in those beautiful moments in between accentuated the knowing, cautionary quality in her voice. Accompanied by keys and drums, White played most of her set on an acoustic guitar to best let the emotion of her voice shine through, although she did switch things up in the end on electric guitar. With a steely gaze into the sun, White's virtuosity was on display as she also shared songs in Spanish and Italian – the latter a song she picked up from her last European tour.
Featured in our latest Listening Station, White revels in Echo Park's fantastic artist community which has helped her find bandmates and lift her music to its current state. "It feels like a collective," she said of the neighborhood after her set Saturday. That collective is how she happened upon her current keyboardist.
You can also catch Simone White at an upcoming show on June 11 as she takes to the loft at Origami Vinyl for a set.
The New Limb
The New Limb was one of my must-sees going into the day. Having caught the Indie-Folksters' shows around town over the last year at The Bootleg and the like, I knew what they were about, although I wondered what a larger venue like Colorado Boulevard would bring. Vocalist Joey Chavez's command of the stage was formidable, and he delivered a passionate vocal display. The band unleashed much of their new material along with their distinct covers, like that of Usher's "Climax", on which Chavez's voice unearthed new falsetto levels on the vocal register. What the band does supremely well, showcased on yesterday's rendition of "Blood Lust", is simmer a feeling of suspense, letting it build and ultimately boil over in a dynamic eruption at each chorus.
The Peach Kings
The Peach Kings keep it simple. The duo of Paige Wood and Steven Trezevant Dies relied on the depth and shrewdness of their late' 60s, riff-heavy rock to bowl over the crowd. Having played few live shows recently, the band also broke out some newer material for the Pasadena crowd. The twosome certainly did manage to put on a thrilling show on the festival's main stage. Dies played a wandering (yet emphatic) guitar – literally. Dies, stumbled and twisted around the whole stage, propelled by just the sheer force of his guitar playing; at one point, the force, literally shot-putting his sunglasses clear across the stage. With sweat pouring down his face, the Silver Lake native was inspired. The magic of his Jimi Hendrix-tinged licks leaping from his guitar.
Their definitive "Thieves & Kings" set a precedent for their star-turning set. Overall the duo prescribes to a late '60s aesthetic – certainly their sound, but Wood's own performance shtick as well, and it works. She dressed her mic stand in flowers and donned a matching crown doing her best to channel a Woodstock-meets-Hell's Angels aesthetic as she ruled over the stage in heeled black boots. This weaving of hard and soft between Dies' riffs and Wood's vocals makes for a glorious sonic dichotomy, and eyeful on stage. Their interplay is reminiscent of the alternating gritty and ethereal exchanges of Jenny Lewis and Jonathan Rice.

Matthew Dion had returned home to live with parentsBy MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
March 25. 2014 10:08PM
MANCHESTER — Everything seemed to change in the life of Matthew Dion once he hooked up with a former fellow graduate of Memorial High School.
He and Pamela Focosi got engaged. He started a Facebook account and accepted friend requests from fellow 1993 graduates. They had a child together.
"He was overjoyed at the time," said Ryan Gilmartin, who like others posted on Dion's Facebook page Tuesday to ask if he was OK and where he was.
Police have called Dion, who is 38, a person of interest in the fire and explosion at his parent's house at 210 Mooresville Road on Monday. Dion was the adopted son of Bob and Connie Dion.
His cousin, Mike Mitchell, said the Dions took great care of Matt, their only child.
"They did everything for that kid," he said. "That's what is puzzling me. They took very good care of him."
Dion seemed to do the same for his adopted family. Focosi came to the relationship with three children, and Dion treated them as his own, Gilmartin said.
On Monday, the oldest of the three, Mike Focosi, told a reporter he thought of Dion as his father.
At some point after high school, Matt Dion left Manchester and moved to Georgia, according to Jim Normand, a lawyer hired by the family.
A family friend said he lived there for a couple of years, had an apartment, made money and held a good job.
About six years ago, he returned home with a back injury, Normand said.
"He was a smart kid, nice kid. When he returned with the injury, he was very quiet," Normand said.
He was on pain medication, but Normand did not know what medication.
The family friend said Dion seemed lost. His hair and beard were scruffy, and he avoided human contact.
Eventually he got a job, apparently at Comcast, according to the friend and Mike Focosi.
However, Comcast spokesman Marc Goodman said Tuesday that Dion never worked for the company or its subcontractors.
Normand said he did not know if Dion worked or was on disability.
Matt Dion met Focosi, his old Memorial classmate, through the Internet. He had never dated, but the next thing the Dions knew, Focosi was pregnant, the friend said.
At one point, Focosi, her three children, Dion and the baby moved into the Mooresville Road home. The Dions moved to the ground floor.
"They loved the kids, they called them their grandchildren," the friend said.
Eventually, the Focosi family moved out.
But Dion mostly lived at the Mooresville Road home, Normand said.
Mike Focosi remained enrolled at Memorial High School.
The family friend said he lived with his mother; Dion drove him to school every morning, went to work and then picked him up at his parents, the friend said.
Gilmartin said he never knew what happened to Dion after graduation.
He said he was surprised when he first learned that Dion and Focosi were together. Focosi was popular during high school; Dion was nerdy, he said.
"They were both extremely happy," Gilmartin said.

Canada failed to capitalize on early opportunities and was eventually overwhelmed by an athletic Martinique side that could have scored multiple times.
The islanders bossed the match for long stretches, taking advantage of a Canadian team full of inexperience and seemingly overawed by the occasion.
Canada started the game off brightly, however, taking the game to the island opposition from the opening whistle. The young Canucks looked sure to get the match's first goal, as they applied enough pressure to garner multiple corner kicks in the first 15 minutes.
Unfortunately for the Canadians, they couldn't take advantage of the early waves of attack, and Martinique grew in confidence with every passing minute.
Midway through the first half, the tide turned and Martinique started to get more of the ball. The islanders used their athleticism to overpower Canada at times, and for a sustained period the one-way traffic was flowing towards Milan Borjan's goal.
If not for some brutal finishing, Martinique could have been up by one or two goals at the halftime break, as Canada's youth-infused lineup had few ideas defensively. Fortunately for the Canucks, the score remained 0-0 at the end of the opening 45 minutes.
The second half was a bit more even as the pace of the game slow to a standstill at times. Neither side looked particularly threatening for much of the final period, until the closing quarter hour as Canada pressed the issue.
The Canucks eventually started asking questions of the Martinique defense, forcing a big save from 'keeper Kevin Olimpa and also knocking one off his crossbar in quick succession. That was all the offense Canada could really muster, though, and Martinique hit back as well as they could, with Borjan making a couple of key saves in the dying moments to keep the score level.
Unfortunately for the Canadians, Martinique finally found its goal just seconds before the full-time whistle, when a corner kick clearance found a charging Reuperné 25 yards from goal, and the midfielder made no mistake in lashing an absolute rocket past Borjan.
The unexpected win brought Martinique's bench rushing onto the pitch when the final whistle was blown, and Canada was left in shambles.
Things get no easier for Canada as the next game is against Mexico in Seattle on Thursday.

What food supplements ar haraam? In Netherland last week at the radio news was a report of an chinese taste enhancer called ve-tsin which consisted of an pork-enzym/proteïn thus making it haraam for muslims. When one goes to the markets a lot of products are prepared with E/C-numbers to name taste and colour makers. Most people don´t know there origin is and buy them blindly which is in sjaitan´s favour. I want to protect my family and friends from this ignorance. Can somebody help me with some kind of list?
If something haraam such as pork is added to permissible foods, they become haraam, even if it is only a little or it is called by a different name. The Muslim has to be careful concerning his food and if there is some food ingredient that he does not know about he has to ask about it or not eat it so as to be on the safe side.

Four men beat, pistol whipped and hit a Lake City man with a Taser after a drug deal went bad on Sunday afternoon, authorities said.
Four men beat, pistol whipped and hit a Lake City man with a Taser after a drug deal went bad on Sunday afternoon, authorities said.
Kenzo A. Alvarado, 18, of High Springs, and Austin J.H. Wilmoth, 17, of Gainesville, were arrested and investigators are looking for two more suspects, said Alachua County Sheriff's Office spokesman Art Forgey.
The man who was injured, Joel A. Hall, 19, reportedly went to Jonesville Park around 5 p.m. Sunday to sell a half-pound of marijuana to the suspects for $1,700, Forgey said.
He took the weed out of his trunk and went into the back of a White GMC Safari to count the money, Forgey said. Once Hall was inside the van, Wilmoth pulled out a stun gun and jolted Hall with it several times, an arrest report states. Then, Wilmoth pulled out a silver handgun and pointed it at Hall, noted the report, and the four men punched and kicked him.
Hall later told deputies that Wilmoth accused him of stealing from him earlier, the report notes.
Also during the scuffle, one of the assailants pulled out a gun and Hall fought with him for it and the gun went off in the van.
When the van started moving, Hall opened a side door and jumped out, but it ran over left part of his leg. He still ran to his car, but, according to the report was overrun by Alvarado and Wilmoth. Alvarado put Hall into a chokehold and Wilmoth shouted at someone to "get some rope," noted the report.
Hall managed to get away and the van drove off, but not before the suspects slashed Hall's tires. Hall drove to the Kangaroo on 14300 W Newberry Road on the flat tire and called police, Forgey said.
Hall gave police information about the suspects, and they were found a short time later.
Detectives searched the van and found rope, duct tape, a box of gloves, a knife and an empty stun gun. A bullet hole was found in the middle seat, the report said.
Alvarado was in the Alachua County Jail as of Monday morning with a $285,000 bond. Wilmoth is being processed by juvenile services.
Both suspects were charged with aggravated assault with a weapon, battery, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, kidnapping, criminal mischief and robbery with a firearm.

Intel to Exit Desktop PC Motherboard Market
It means to divert those resources to Ultrabooks, tablets and smartphones
By: Maureen O'Gara
Jan. 24, 2013 10:00 AM
Intel sent out a message Wednesday saying it will be abandoning the classic desktop PC and leaving it to rivals like Asus, Gigabyte and MSI, even AMD maybe, to supply the boxes' basic boards to HP, Dell and the other vendors.
"We disclosed internally today," it said, "that Intel's Desktop Motherboard Business will begin slowly ramping down over the course of the next three years."
It means to divert those resources to Ultrabooks, tablets and smartphones.
It said "The internal talent and experience of 20 years in the boards business...is being redistributed to address emerging new form factors."
"Intel will stop developing new Desktop boards once Haswell launch is completed," the company said.
Haswell is due to start rolling out this summer.
"Intel expects the broad and capable motherboard ecosystem...Asus, Gigabyte, MSI and many others...to fully support Intel's growing roadmap and large worldwide customer base," it said.
CNET said the disclosure "follows rumors that Intel would stop making board connectors - the so-called Land Grid Array (LGA) socket - for desktops when a future generation of processors arrives after Haswell, under the code name Broadwell."

The new Malaysian owners of Battersea Power Station have pledged that the historic site will finally be redeveloped. The redevelopment will cost £8bn, including an extension of the Northern Line, a restoration of the power station and the construction of 3,400 new homes, 1.7m sq ft of offices, 550,000 sq ft of retail, new hotels, and an entertainment district. Battersea Power Station was built in the 1930s but has lain dormant since 1983 after a series of failed attempts to redevelop it.

An Editorial -- Joseph W. McQuaid, Publisher: Welcome them homeBy JOSEPH W. McQUAID
New Hampshire Union Leader Publisher
March 28. 2013 10:12PM
Go to a parade in New Hampshire these days and you may have seen a group of Vietnam veterans marching by. And if you did, you probably saw and heard parade-watchers applaud them, vigorously.
If you haven't had that chance, or if you would like to help say "thank you" to Vietnam veterans in a bigger way, then you should be in Concord Saturday at 2 p.m.
That is when a long-overdue official thank you from the people of New Hampshire is to be made to those who served honorably in that conflict and came home, sometimes to dishonorable treatment. It is also a way to say a quiet "thanks" to those from New Hampshire, all 228 of them, who did not make it home.
Maj. Gen. William Reddel III, Adjutant General of the New Hampshire National Guard, said it well this week.
"They never received a homecoming. There were no ceremonies or parades. There were no banners hanging from highway overpasses. No police escorts. They were shunned from the moment they touched down on American soil. Instead of being embraced at terminals across the country, many of our warriors slipped into a bathroom to change out of their uniform. As a nation, we treated them as outcasts."
The event to address that wrong is being held at the National Guard's Aviation Flight Facility on Regional Drive, just off Airport Road in Concord. It is free and the public is welcome. It probably won't last long, but taking place 40 years after it should have, it can't last long enough.

gabor necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 203 diseños de 49 diseñadores freelance.
We're a Silicon Valley startup that's developing a new email-related application for the iPhone.
We need a logo that conveys "email reimagined", and "better email on your phone".
Payment method: Paypal, Western Union
We want to make the email experience on the phone phenomenally good. When you're sitting in front of your computer and want to check your email, your first instinct should be to pull out your phone.- We're funded by some of the best investors in Silicon Valley
- What you're designing might one day become a well-known consumer brand. - If our plans for global domination work out :-)
- Our initial product allows for better email browsing and searching on your iPhone.
- Contemporary look
- Simple color scheme
- Should work on all kinds of backgroundsSpelling:
- reMailStyles we like
We like things with just the word "reMail"in a great font, maybe with some effects applied - Twitter (twitter.com), Loopt (loopt.com) are good examples.
In addition to the name, you might also include some artwork. The initial designs contained a little too many envelopes - that looks cliche. Some ideas on what to include:
- reception bars
- geometric shapes (circles, boxes, matrixes, triangles)
- phones / iPhones
- people / heads (email is about people communicating)
- compass ("navigate your email")
- clandscapes (we allow you to check your email while wondering around)
The initial designs had too many "@" signs and envelopes. Some of them are good, but this is too cliche-y overall.
Our company name already says "email" so I think our logo should put the emphasis on "mobile" rather than email

Analysts believe General Electric Co. gave Comcast Corp. a great deal on the half of NBCUniversal that the cable company doesn't already own.
"The Comcast folks feel like they got a steal," said Daniel Holland, a GE analyst at Morningstar.
Matthew Harrigan at Wunderlich Securities said GE "mispriced" the $16.7 billion deal.
Wednesday's assessment on Wall Street followed a surprised announcement late Tuesday that Comcast agreed to buy GE's 49 percent share of NBCUniversal several years ahead of schedule. Comcast had bought 51 percent of NBCUniversal in 2011 and was going to buy out the rest from GE gradually, finishing in 2018. Comcast credited favorable interest rates and an attractive price.
Doug Mitchelson at Deutsche Bank asked Comcast executives on a conference call Wednesday morning if they sweetened the deal somehow to get it approved by GE.
Comcast's chief financial officer, Michael Angelakis, responded that GE's board simply liked that the company could sell its stake earlier than expected.
"I think it's a very good deal for them as well," Angelakis said Wednesday. "I think from their standpoint they're going to receive a lot of cash, which we know they're going to deploy to other services. And from our standpoint, I think it was an advantage to accelerate that, and I think we've received a very fair price."
"Both of us think we got a good deal," Keith Sherin, GE's chief financial officer, said on a separate call with investors. "And you can see the market likes it for both of us, which I think says that maybe we both did get a really good deal."
Shares of Philadelphia-based Comcast rose $1.68, or 4.3 percent, to $40.65 in early afternoon trading. In opening trading, it hit $42, matching an all-time high set in March 1999.
Shares of GE, which is based in Fairfield, Conn., rose 78 cents or 3.5 percent, to $23.36. The day's high of $23.44 was the highest level for the stock since 2008.
For GE, the deal accelerates a transition to a more purely industrial company, which investors have been wanting to see for a very long time.
But the company does not need the cash. Long before this deal was announced, investors were wondering what GE was going to do with cash coming in from the company's operations. Now there's an extra $17 billion.
GE will buy back stock and issue dividends, but GE has a long history of acquiring companies at a voracious rate. "What do they want to buy?" asks Holland, the analyst. "That's the key question now."
On the Comcast side, CEO Brian Roberts told The Associated Press after the deal was announced Tuesday that the company decided it made sense to buy GE's stake now because the improved performance of the NBC broadcast network and cable-TV programming made it more likely the price would rise in the future.
NBCUniversal operates the NBC and Telemundo broadcast networks, local TV stations, cable channels such as USA, SyFy and CNBC, the Universal Pictures movie studios and theme parks in Florida and California. It generates about a third of the revenue for Comcast, whose larger business is producing the pipes for cable TV, Internet and phone services.
The deal, expected to be completed by the end of March, values NBCUniversal at $34 billion, not including $5 billion in debt. That's about 13 percent higher than two years ago, when Comcast's investment valued the company at about $30 billion, also excluding debt. By contrast, CBS Corp.'s stock price has more than doubled in those two years and the stock of ABC owner The Walt Disney Co. has risen 41 percent.
Thomas Seitz, analyst at Jefferies & Co., said Comcast was getting an "attractive" value for NBCUniversal, saying the price was just a small premium to the valuation and earnings of other big media companies such as Disney and Time Warner Inc.
Complete ownership will let Comcast benefit more from the rising price of sports rights and other TV programs. It avoids solely being in the uncomfortable position of passing those costs onto customers. And long-term rights deals between the TV networks and their cable and satellite distributors have ensured the importance of TV, even as Web video is on the rise.
Besides buying the rest of NBCUniversal, Comcast agreed to pay GE another $1.4 billion for other assets that include one of New York's best-known landmarks, NBC's headquarters at 30 Rockefeller Plaza.

I've known about W. Patrick Edwards and his Old Brown Glue for some time. I've read his blogs (click here) and been fascinated by his work. But I didn't realize how much Patrick knows about woodworking. Until, that is, I watched a free video of Graham Blackburn's Woodworking in Action hosted on Popular Woodworking's "Shop Class on Demand" site (200 plus videos available and you can get a free four-day trial.)
As I watched the segment on Patrick Edwards, my curiosity was piqued as he talked about why hand-tool work today is so different than in the past and about the evolution of veneer. I was so caught off guard when he discussed his workbench that I had to backtrack to listen to his words a second time – he built his first workbench after 20 years of woodworking, and you have to see how he combined two distinct designs. Genius.
I did say the video was free, so click here to watch the two videos. Enjoy. I'm going back to see what other videos are included in "Shop Class on Demand."

It was only by chance that Dany Laferrière was in Port-au-Prince on Jan. 12, 2010. Long one of the best-known figures of his native country's diaspora, the Montreal-resident writer was back in the country for the Étonnants Voyageurs literary festival, and having a fine time. Noting with satisfaction how "life seem(ed) to have gotten back to normal after decades of trouble" — hard-won words from a man who had been forced to flee the country during Baby Doc Duvalier's tyrannical reign — he was relaxing with a friend in the restaurant of the Hotel Karibe when, without warning late in the afternoon of a day near the end of his scheduled stay, "the earth started shaking like a sheet of paper whipped by the wind." In that moment and in the days that followed, he kept his eyes and ears open. The result, first published in French two years ago and now translated by David Homel, is The World Is Moving Around Me (Arsenal Pulp Press, 183 pages, $15.95).
"We slowly got to our feet like zombies in a B-Movie," Laferrière recalls of the first moments after the initial shock, and one of the first things he saw on venturing out of the hotel courtyard into the devastated city was a woman sitting with her back against a wall, selling mangoes as if this were a typical day and not the immediate aftermath of the greatest disaster in the history of a trauma-prone country. "These people are so used to finding life in difficult conditions that they could bring hope down to hell," thinks Laferrière, and as his account makes increasingly clear, as he takes up the writer's responsibility to bear witness and describe the seemingly indescribable, bringing hope down to hell was pretty much what the people of Port-au-Prince had to do.
The general tone of Laferrière's on-the-spot memoir — calm, dispassionate, told in measured sentences — may surprise some. His impressionistic account, arranged anthology-style under headings like "The First Bodies," "A Man in Mourning " and "The Desire to Help," is confined at any given moment to what one person could see and perceive in that moment. But what might at first seem a limitation turns out to be a perfectly apt strategy: the enormity of what has happened is pieced together only gradually, subject to the same shocks and roadblocks affecting anyone else on the ground at that time. Besides, selective perception is a natural human defence against an upside-down world where death has become "so abstract: 100,000 or 200,000. Add or subtract 10,000 dead, as if each death wasn't worthy of particular attention."
Such numbing-down, as Laferrière writes, is "designed, of course, to keep you from going crazy. No one wants to be the first to go running naked down the street. We avoid considering reality, because reality is the problem." It also turns out to be a perfect metaphor for a people and country long forced by history and circumstance to develop a grace under pressure that most of the world can only regard with humbled wonder. The book ends with Laferrière holed up in a Paris hotel, having begged off his publisher's deadline for a completely different book, intent on getting it all down while the impressions are still fresh, "so that other people wouldn't feel alone with their emotions." In the end, of course, every death is worthy of particular attention. If it's not absurd to say it, we're lucky Laferrière was there.
Ending when it does, so soon after the event, Laferrière's account inevitably misses the long and ongoing post-disaster recovery effort, an unfortunately grim tale told unsparingly by Jonathan M. Katz in The Big Truck That Went By: How the World Came to Save Haiti and Left Behind a Disaster (Palgrave Macmillan, 320 pages, $30).
Katz, working for the Associated Press, was the only full-time U.S. correspondent in the country at the time of the earthquake, and had already seen for himself how the best intentions of the NGO-driven aid juggernaut can go for naught when the root causes of the problems go unaddressed and glossed over. When the institutions aren't in place to enforce the most minimal of construction standards, let alone social support and health networks, disasters will only repeat themselves. From the exploits of international stars like Sean Penn and native son Wyclef Jean of the Fugees, to the muddled planning that can result in unmitigated disasters like the cholera outbreak caused by insufficiently vaccinated Nepalese peacekeepers, Katz paints a thoroughly researched picture of (mostly) good intentions gone astray, leaving readers suspended somewhere between fragile hope and outright fury.

"Six times, by the grace of God, I survived life threatening situations! Do I now have three lives left?" These words are on the cover of Thomas Thurman's new book, "Three Lives Left?"
"Six times, by the grace of God, I survived life threatening situations! Do I now have three lives left?" These words are on the cover of Thomas Thurman's new book, "Three Lives Left?"
Thurman believes God is watching over him in very special ways, after he has had six life-threatening experiences. His lifetime of adventures are told in his first book.
His narrow escapes include one when he was hunting alone and on a tree branch over a rock-covered bluff. Another time it involves driving a vehicle, and once he was on an ice jam that nearly surged down a river.
Thurman, who was born in 1942, also shared many memories of his Monroe City, Mo., childhood on the family farm.
As an adult, he has continued to have adventures and live dangerously, climbing mountains and taking other risks that were life-threatening.
Thurman, of Monroe City, is a lifelong farmer, hunter, conservationist and adventurer. His book combines nostalgia about his younger years with his unusual adventures.
One chapter, the Old Country School, describes his Kincaid country school and some of the fun he recalls during recess. He was in the last eighth grade class to graduate from Kincaid school before it closed in 1956. The land went back to the farm on his family home place. His dad bought the school house and now Thurman and his wife, Connie, own the home place and the school.
Some of his early adventures were not life-threatening but were amusing to recall. "One of funniest things," Thurman said, was when "my friends and I went mud crawling in a pond." This was at a place for farm animals, where he was not allowed to swim, "even though we were good swimmers. ... We went mud crawling in a pond that animals used. Then we went into the house.
"When my mom saw us, we had to wash up in a big tub back of the house and go to Bible school" the same day, he said, regardless of how badly they smelled.
Another amusing incident involved an outhouse, he said. "Going to the outhouse I had to walk across the chicken yard and the rooster would give me a good flogging. ... I got even when I got older," he added, not explaining how.
The book is available in 32 stores throughout Northeast and Central Missouri, along with West Central Illinois. It is sold at several C&R Markets in the Monroe City area. In Hannibal the book is available at Christian Ambiance and Becky's Old Fashioned Ice Cream Parlor and Emporium, both located on North Main Street.
It may be ordered by calling Warren Springs Publishing Co. in Monroe City toll free at (855) 228-7167.
Thurman also is selling his book. It may be ordered by contacting him by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Serafin Gomez, Fox News Latino
His voice was hoarse, and at times barely above a whisper, but Bill Clinton's message to Florida Democrats was clear: We need to do a better job of turning out the vote in mid-term elections.
"So far we're winning in presidential years, and they're winning in non-presidential years," Clinton told the crowd of 1,500 at the state party's largest fund-raising event.
"It is a recipe for gridlock," he said during his 41 minute speech that raised a record $1.1 million for the state party...

Side entrance to an old building in Hopkinsville, KY
This door, a side entrance to one of Hopkinsville's 1880s buildings, probably opens to a staircase. Perhaps the merchant's family once lived above the store, or perhaps the space was rented.
The window above the door enhanced the airflow to the second floor in hot weather. I believe a window above the door like this is called a "transom window."
The metal awning is too high and short to provide much shelter for a person opening the door in the rain. It probably did prevent rain from coming through the transom window, if the wind wasn't strong. The awning was surely added sometime after the building's construction. I doubt if it dates back to the 1880s.
This doorway is a side entrance to the Klein Building, on the corner of 6th and Main Streets. The front of the building, as seen from 6th Street, is pictured below. The Alhambra Theater on Main Street is visible in the background. The main entrance of the Klein Building sits diagonally at the corner, behind the black post that's supporting the second floor.

Last academic year I rented a studio in Valencia from an agency. At the end of it I was supposed to get my deposit back but only got part of it as they said they had to wait for final bills and for the owner to inspect. I took photos of the place before leaving to protect myself in the event of disputes and waited for the money to be transferred. That was late June, 4 months later, I'm still waiting. First they had to wait for the bills, then the landlord was on holiday and then from September they have had disagreements with Iberdrola over exact sums owed.... it's been one excuse after another. The last email in early October assured me it would be sorted the following week. Nada. I emailed again on Monday but haven't got a reply yet and when I do, it's likely to be more procrastination. What can I do in this situ? I signed a legal contract which says that the deposit has to be paid back. The problem is that from this distance, it's considerably harder to find the info. Is there a consumer rights body I can complain to? The actual sum isn't huge but it's my cash and the whole point of going through an agency was to avoid this scenario.

The Federation of Genealogical Societies asked the FGS 2013 Ambassadors to answer those questions as the first blogging prompt in a series leading up to the conference in August. For me, the short answer to all five questions is one word. People. The longer answer comes with pictures.
People attend conferences. They won't roll their eyes or tune you out if you start a conversation about genealogy. They are happy to discuss the lecture you just heard or recommend a must-see speaker. They may even have a location or surname in common with you.
Journey Through Generations program for details about speakers and topics.
Exhibit Hall page for specific information about this year's vendors.
Make plans to attend FGS 2013 August 21–24 in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. People will be there.
If you'd like to be an FGS 2013 Ambassador, it's not too late to register.

A Rogers Park woman is trying to reunite the lost pooch she found playing in traffic on Lake Shore Drive late last week with its owners.
Jillian Conley was driving with her boyfriend on Thursday evening when they spotted the black and white Shih-Tzu/poodle mix darting across traffic. Conley says they pulled over hoping to save the pup from getting run over.
"As I was stopping, my boyfriend jumped out of the car," Conley said. "Another woman stopped and threw my boyfriend a leash. He asked if it was her dog and she said, 'No, good luck!'"
The dog then proceeded to lead the couple on a Monty Python-esque chase all the way, evading them all the way until they got to Foster Beach as they followed close behind trying to get her to stop.
"Finally, (my boyfriend) had her on some rocks by the water and figured she was cornered, but she decided to jump in the lake," Conley said. "He jumped in after her and we brought her home."
There's only one problem--the dog doesn't have any identification tags or a microchip, so they don't know who she belongs to. Conley has since taken in the dog herself for the time being, letting her play with the two dogs she already owns as she embarks on an ambitious social media campaign to try find the pooch's owners.
She has been repeatedly been tweeting pictures of the dog, which is white with black patches, weighs about five pounds, 10 ounces, and is estimated to be between 2-4 years old. She's hoping that someone knows something about where exactly home is for her.
"She is such a sweet dog that I thought I'd try to find the dog's owner on my own," Conley said. "If anything ever happened to (my two dogs), I know I would want someone to help me find them."
Conley said the pooch was a little worse for wear when they first picked her up, showing signs of dehydration and being underfed. A quick trip to the vet showed that beyond a little dehydration and some weight loss likely caused by not having eaten in awhile, she was in good shape.
"Local shelters have been great helping me share her info and pictures," she said.
And while Conley's dedication to finding the pooch's owners is admirable, Anti-Cruelty Society President Dr. Robyn Barbiers said the odds are stacked against her. Even with identification, Barbiers pegs the return-to-owner rate for dogs at around ten percent.
"Unfortunately, animals without identification are rarely united with their owners," Barbiers said. "Often the people who find the pet will keep the pet, post photos in the neighborhood and if no owner comes forward, will re-home the pet. Those are the luckier ones."
This particular dog can consider itself among the lucky. Conley said she and her boyfriend have decided that while they are dedicated to finding their new friend's true home, if they're unsuccessful, they'll adopt her as their own.
If you have any information about the dog's owners, you are asked to reach out to Jillian via e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or Twitter @jillianconley.

Food for Thought
Pigs, cows, chickens, fish, and other farmed animals are smart and unique individuals just like the dogs and cats we share our homes with. But behind the closed doors of modern farms they endure brutal cruelty. Most spend their entire lives in dark, crowded, waste-filled sheds. Some are locked in cages so small they can barely turn around. Because many animal cruelty laws do not protect them, farmed animals are often beaten, mutilated, and painfully slaughtered.
Together, we can expose and end this abuse. Join us in helping protect farmed animals by inspiring compassionate food choices and policies.Learn More

Executive Council paves way for public boat launch
By GARRY RAYNO
State House Bureau
CONCORD - The long-held dream of a state-owned, easily accessible public boat launch on Lake Winnipesaukee is about to become a reality.
The Executive Council on Wednesday approved the purchase of Downing's Landing, a commercial boat launch at the junction of routes 11 and 28-A in Alton Bay.
Glenn Normandeau, Fish and Game Department executive director, said the public should be able to use the facility this winter for ice fishing.
The state will pay $1 million to purchase the facility on eight-tenths of an acre from Downing Brothers, Inc.
"We've been working on this for a long time," Normandeau told the council, "pretty much under the table, so the whole thing would not blow up."
He told executive councilors he did not expect much opposition because the facility is currently operated as a boat launch, so "there is no change of use."
Councilors praised the purchase and the access it will provide to Lake Winnipesaukee.
"This is great for the people of New Hampshire," said District 2 Councilor Dan St. Hilaire, R-Concord. "The people of New Hampshire will be able to put a boat into Lake Winnipesaukee without having to own a $5 million lakefront home."
Normandeau told the council the series of docks will allow his department and the marine patrol to use the facility to provide better coverage of the lake.
The state has several other areas for public boat access to the lake but with drawbacks compared to the new facility, which is in deep water and easily navigable.
State law has required the Fish and Game Department to pursue state-owned boat launches on all the major water bodies in the state.
While the public has access to many lakes at private marinas, there is little free boat access to water bodies except at town sites, which are reserved for residents only.
Fish and Game has run into opposition trying to locate public boat launches on many lakes including Winnipesaukee, Winnisquam and Sunapee.
