Have you heard the news? There's a browser designed almost especially for us green types, and it is called Flock.
Flock is based on the geek's browser of choice* Firefox and is designed to allow us trendy types to manage our social media goings on more easily.
I'm lovin' it. I really am. Sure, it isn't perfect (I've had a wee bit of trouble with the link to my Del.ic.ious account and my Facebook link went haywire for a day or so, but in almost every other way, I diggit big.
"What does it do?" I hear you
scream ask. Well, it gathers together all your social networking type accounts in one place. For instance, I have a "People" sidebar that imports updates from my Twitter, Flickr, You Tube and Facebook accounts in almost real time. This saves me having to check in to each of the site's web pages to see what's going on in the world around me (saves me oodles of time, as I like to keep track of all my "tweeps", "friends" and such.
If you've no idea what I'm talking about, you'd probably be as well to stop reading here – the social media references are gonna come thick and fast…
My gmail account is also linked to my browser and the icon tells me when I have new mail – quite handy as I tend to forget about email these days, as I get most of my updates via Facebook, Twitter, Skype IM etc…
What else, now let me see – there's so much! Yes, my del.ic.ious account is linked, so that I can easily save favourite pages to it, and access the links alongside my local browser faves – all in one place (in the sidebar).
Yes – I can create blogposts directly from the sidebar also, and upload pages to any of my linked accounts ( so when I see a page I'd like to post on Facebook, I just click and there it appears on my profile!) – and well, there's more, I'm sure there is.
Feeds. Yep – RSS feeds. I've stopped using Google Reader altogether and now monitor all my RSS feeds in Flock. The clever people there made it so that when Flock detects a feed on a page, it automatically asks you if you'd like to import it into your reader…. (of course, now I really need for it to read all the articles for me and pick out all the interesting stuff because i never seem to have the time).
So what makes Flock an "eco-browser"? Well, they're going to donate 10% of all their search proceeds (I admit, I'm not quite sure what that will amount to) to a charity of the Flock/eco users choice. And, your version of Flock/eco will come pre-loaded with feeds from Alltop/Green. Alltop aims to gather all the top feeds from all the top sites into one place. In this case, all the top green sites…
If you're using social media tools, then I do suggest you give Flock at least a try. You don't need to delete Internet Explorer or Firefox to get going, and you can always return to them if you don't like it.
Happy Eco Flocking )
* I have no idea if Firefox really is the geek's browser of choice – I do know that most geeks I know use it, so in my book that makes it (almost) official….

Summer is over, and so is my blogging vacation
For a variety of reasons, I've taken a break from blogging over the summer. Now that it's fall, it's time to get back.
My plan is to concentrate first on improving the site a bit, including posting updates on my progress, along with some normal posts. For example, I need to look at the theme which hasn't changed in a long time, I might switch to a secure website (https) now that's more affordable, and I'll probably replace subversion with git (possibly hosted somewhere else such as gitlab).
I'll also try to get back to regularly posting notes and micro-reviews on Instagram (mostly stationery related, but some automation tools, too).
But my first priority is to update my wiki, most likely moving from trac to Redmine. I feel that trac made a lot of sense which I choose it eons ago, but it's development has been glacial and I've found it's hard to update or move.
I will do my best to provide weekly updates on my progress in modernizing Factory Software Blog.

Blog Notes – July 2016
My apologies for not posting much – and it might continue for another month or two.
Partly I think I might be a bit burned out; I haven't felt excited about blogging recently, so a little summer break will help.
Also, as I've said before, I've been pretty busy. On the industrial side, I'm doing some research on PLCs (which will hopefully lead to some blog posts) and I've been playing with some new connectors because they're interesting, I might use them at work, and I might write about them here.

Factory Software Blog Is Back!
My apologies for the down time – I did a transition from 32-bit to 64-bit hosting, which screwed up WordPress. I should've been better prepared, but I've never had an issue with WordPress before, so given my inexperience in WordPress maintenance plus my normal lack of time, it's taken a while and some learning to get things back.
I'm still not sure everything is perfect on this site, plus it could use some more updates, so my plan is to check over everything and make some more improvements before getting back to regular (or semi-regular) new blog posts. Update yes, I have some work to do — none of the links to older blog posts work. I'll try to fix this within a day or two.
Also, the trac site has some issues with browsing the subversion repository, and needs some updates.
6/27/2016 – links to older blog posts now work. There are still some issues to fix, such as extra characters.

New: FactorySwBlog on Instagram
I've setup a factoryswblog account on Instagram.
My primary goal is still to provide unique, longer form content; I'm still not interested in participating in real time online arguments (been there, done that, too old for that now).
However, creating new posts typically takes a lot of time, so my plan is for the Instagram account to provide more frequent updates. It'll probably be more biased towards my personal interests such as pens, but I will try to include a mix of topics.
Companion Site Summary
I now have four companion sites. I am still figuring out what works best in what format. Also, by the summer I hope to revise this blog's look a bit – I think it's a little too busy, and I want to add an Instagram widget. The sites are:
- The trac wiki and repository viewer. I'm using it for directories, reference information, and repository viewer. Sometime not very soon, I will look at moving it to Redmine, since trac's development has been pretty slow (and in my experience, it's a pain to upgrade).
- The subversion repository. It holds my PCB design files and source code. I may eventually move it to git.
- My Youtube channel for videos. It currently only has 1 video, but I have a few more planned. Note that if your workplace has blocked Youtube, let me know. If blocking Youtube is a significant problem, I'll look for alternatives.
- Finally, of course, my brand new Instagram account for more frequent updates with photos and a bit of text.

New Year Resolutions
My New Year's resolution for blogging is obvious: catch up on blogging this year.
I was fully occupied in December by trying to get some new machines shipped at work and by all the Christmas activities at home, plus some computer issues, added to all the normal stuff.
My wish list for the coming year including:
- Writing about embedded and maker topics. I've been interested in embedded systems for a long time, and I have a couple Arduino projects ready to be written up.
- Write some more pen and paper posts, with an emphasis on affordable products. Although I still enjoy the PenAddict.com, I've noticed that the average cost of the items mentioned has gone up substantially. So I will try to highlight affordable, yet high quality, products that I've found.
- Include more stories about my automation experiences.
- And, of course, I plan on continuing my automation posts, which remain the core of this blog. I have a number of partially finished posts, including some on AS-i and I haven't forgotten about robots.

DDoS Downtime
Unfortunately, this blog was collateral damage from a large scale DDoS attack the last few days (that attacked a whole subnet of addresses, including this blog's host). It took a few days for my hosting service to restore service, and even then there have been occasional problems.
If you're interested in more details, please see this blog post.

7 Years And 250 Posts
It's been a slow journey, but I've blogged my way to 250 posts over 7 years. I am trying to post more frequently, but it's not easy.
I recently did a guest post on Panasonic PLCs for a blog which is always worth checking out, the Automation Primer.
I promise I'll be getting back to my Robot Primer series soon; I've been learning a lot, having fun with the Denso WinCaps III simulator, and learning to do simple movies.
In the fall, I plan on doing multiple posts on two topics:
- Practical advice and tips on Panasonic PLCs
- Test drives and comparisons of ARM Cortex-M4 boards.
I'd like to be able to do some other automation and embedded posts (like PCB tools for automation professionals, some fun servo motor stuff, and maybe even some Arduino motion topics), but it will be challenging to find the time.

Notes from the EE Live! 2014 Exhibition
In early April I managed to sneak off work for a day and wander down to the San Jose Convention Center for the EE Live! 2014 Exhibition (formerly known as the Embedded Systems Conference). The ESC has had its ups and downs, going from the San Jose Convention Center (which I like a lot) to the Moscone in SF (bigger, but not better), back to the SJCC, and next year, down to the Santa Clara Convention Center (which is a pretty nice setup, but not the location for major shows).
I skipped ESC last year, so I was surprised how much the show has shrunk. On the plus side, there was a lot of exhibition floor training sessions, and all the ones I saw were well attended. In fact, NXP skipped the product booth and only did training. Since I do enjoy
harassing talking to sales dudes and want to encourage companies to come back, I spent most of my time at the vendor booths. Here are my show notes, which reflect my interests (which tend towards industrial applications, MCUs, and DSPs):
- I was surprised at the size of the x86/x64 contingent: Intel, AMD, and a trio of motherboard manufacturers (Asrock, Supermicro, and MSI). There were also several flash vendors.
- I have to put in a plug for ASRock, because my desktop PC has an ASRock motherboard, and when it had a minor problem (PS/2 ports quit working), ASRock's service was quite good. However, the industrial division is separate (and much smaller), selling compact industrial motherboards direct or through distributors such as Logic Supply.
- TI had a pretty big booth, showing off their more embedded-oriented lines (no C6x DSPs or analog), including the BeagleBone and the various LaunchPads.
- TI's EE Live! 2014 videos are available on Youtube.
- TI still did their tool swap, so I traded an old Philips 8051 CAN dev kit for a shiny new Tiva Connected LaunchPad, which I have since donated to an eLua volunteer. TI said the Connected LaunchPad was very popular.
- I had fun discussing industrial safety (standards, light curtains, safety PLCs, and such) with the Hercules guys – and verified that the RM48 Hercules MCUs do indeed support double precision floating point.
- It's always fun to see motors run, and TI was demonstrating their InstaSPIN techology with a conveyor. I had fun complaining about too many serial encoder protocols (Biss, EnDAT. SSI, Panasonic, Tamagawa, etc).
- Microchip had a pretty big booth, with a wide array of products. The new PIC32MZs are pretty impressive, but what I wanted to see was their metal-over-cap button technology. Microchip has been improving it; this year they showed off metal dome capacitive buttons (my favorite, since they had good tactile feedback) and backlit buttons.
- Microchip App Note AN1626 [PDF] has lots of interesting information on how to design and backlight metal over cap buttons.
- The backlit buttons were a demo of Demmel's metalLight technology.
- The tactile buttons were a demo of grafos steel's Click-Inox technology.
- ST ran a lot of in-booth seminars; I listened to the mbed presentation for a while (and now want to learn more). I didn't spend much time looking at their products since I'm pretty familiar with them.
- ST was giving out STM32F401 Nucleo boards if you were lucky enough to get a goody bag (I managed to snag the second-to-last bag). This Nucleo includes the sweet STM32F401 MCU, Arduino headers, and mbed compatibility (SDK (Software Development Kit) and HDK (Hardware Development Kit)).
- Atmel didn't have a booth: instead they had their roadshow trailer. The coolest demo was a 3D printer, powered by Atmel of course.
- NI had a booth showing off LabView and their hardware, including a motion-and-vision demo featuring Kollmorgen drives and motors. I spent most of my time there discussing industrial applications with a guy from Xilinx who is interested in industrial applications (such as real time Ethernet) for FPGAs.
- I took a class from Rhode & Schwarz on oscilloscopes basics, and received a free Digital Stimulus Board for my time. My big take-away from the class: short, good grounds are critical (long, looping ground wires can be great antennas). Their oscilloscopes are impressive and fun to play with, but quite a bit more advanced than I need.
- I stopped by Pico Technology briefly to see what was new. Pico makes what are probably the highest end USB oscilloscopes. Some of the newest models support USB 3.0. Another series has variable resolution (you can trade slower speeds for increased resolution). Most of them are fairly large. I asked about USB latency; the salesman said they used some tricks, but noted that they perform a lot of processing in the scope using a FPGA, so the USB connection isn't as critical.
- Vision Components was showing off their OEM smart cameras, so I stopped by as always to see what was new.
- I stopped by Acces I/O and chatted about industrial Ethernet protocols and data acquisition. Their USB-DA12-8A is one of the more affordable options if you need a precisely timed DAC output. And they might have some good stuff coming in the Ethernet DAQ arena.
- I talked briefly with Sealevel Systems; they make a variety of industrial grade computers, serial interfaces, digital I/O, and analog I/O.
- Trinamic was showing off their stepper and DC motor drive chips, boards, and enclosed drives. Although they're not the best fit for my current requirements, they're worth checking out, and have some low cost models (especially for the chips and boards). Some models support CANOpen or EtherCAT.
- Silvertel was showing off a variety of PoE modules, with prototypes up to 200W. They claim their module pricing is cost-competitive with rolling your own up to medium volumes (say 1000's or 10,000's per year).

Bloglist Changes and Other Notes
I've made a few changes to my blog list:
- I've removed Deelip's blog since he's been updating infrequently.
- Although Gary Mintchell's Feedforward blog is no longer being updated, I'm leaving it for now, partly because of its automation blog list. I plan on removing it on my next blog list update.
- I'm also keeping Evolving Excellence for now, even though updates are infrequent, because of the many good interesting posts in the past.
- I've added Bill Waddell's new home, The Manufacturing Leadership Center. Bill was previously on Evolving Excellence.
- I've added Gary Mintchell's new site, The Manufacturing Connection.
- I've added links to my two companion sites (for trac and subversion) so they're easily to find. The trac site is kind of a notepad for me, but it does have a lot of useful information.
- I'm adding a special mention here to Walter Russel Mead's Via Media blog. Since I avoid politics almost all the time here because I think too much is already politicized, I'm not adding it to my blog roll, but Via Media is a thought-provoking non-partisan blog that's well worth reading.
Sometime (hopefully next year) I'll look at updating the theme, but right now I want to concentrate on getting more content written. I hope to have my next Robot Primer post up within a week, and have too many other post ideas.

What Happened To Ergonomics?
I can remember back in the 1990's when ergonomics was a big deal. Companies were pushing ergonomic chairs, ergonomic monitors (adjustable, etc), ergonomic keyboards, ergonomic mice, ergonomic mice alternatives (such as trackballs) and so on.
You can still find ergonomic equipment, but it's definitely not "hot", and a lot of it (like Kensington and Logitech trackballs) looks like it hasn't been updated from the 1990's…
I think it's the smart phone and tablet revolution: they're what's hot, and, just like in the dot-bomb bubble, everything was "on the web", now everything is supposed to be mobile or in "the cloud", whether it makes sense or not.
Yes, tablets and phones have their place, and I own both, but they're not very ergonomic for any kind of extended use if you're creating content. Normal, cheap keyboards are crappy enough, but they're great compared to typing on glass.
I value my long term comfort and health, and I like to create, so ergonomics still matter to me. I've started a major C# programming project; I find having two 24″ monitors really boosts my productivity. I can't imagine trying to do this project on a tablet (ugh!) or phone (yuck!!!!).
My Unicomp keyboard is much better than average, but I've ordered a mechanical keyboard. After I've used it for a while, I'll post a review.

How difficult a liner install can get
You know you're going to have a hard time when the customer first insists that you set your ladder up on plywood so that you don't track dirt onto his drainage stone. Needless to say...that didn't happen. As the job went on, we continued to have problems, but Dan dealt with them as they came about. Needless to say, in the end, it all looked pretty good to us

Had to put holes in the side of the chimney to winch up the chimney stainless steel liner from the bottom.

Potty training is a milestone in a toddler's life that is both eagerly awaited and dreaded by the parents coaching the young one from diapers to big kid undies. While your tot is sure to have a few accidents along the way, waiting to initiate potty training until he is ready will make the transition much smoother. Keep an eye out for signs of readiness to know when to ditch those diapers for good.
Physical Signs of Readiness
Look for fewer diaper changes throughout the day, though they will likely be wetter. This indicates your tot is going less frequently and urinating a lot at one time, rather than many little pees throughout the day. It is a sign of growing bladder control.
Notice if your tot has a dry, clean diaper in the morning or after naps. Again, this is an indication that bowel and bladder control is becoming stronger.
Watch for increased signs of bladder awareness in your kiddo. As he becomes more familiar with what the urge to go feels like, your tot may seem to suddenly require more privacy, as indicated by his running into the corner or other room to go. He may squat, bend over, grunt or show other signs that he is feeling the need to eliminate.
Monitor diaper activity closely, as an increased regularity in your child's bowel movements is a sign of readiness. If you can suddenly set your watch by his afternoon dirty diaper, it may be time to potty train. Predictability of elimination also makes it easier to direct your child to the potty chair in time to avoid going in his diaper.
Notice when your child shows interest in -- and is able to -- undress himself, particularly, if he is able to pull his pants and underpants down. A child who struggles with his pants is more likely to have frustrating accidents and near-misses at the potty chair.
Emotional & Cognitive Signs of Readiness
Take note of your tot's ability to follow simple instructions. This cognitive understanding of what you are telling him to do is important for him to learn how to use the potty.
Talk to your child and ensure he understands the necessary vocabulary needed for potty training. If he does not know what you are referring to when you instruct him to "make pee-pee in the big boy potty," he is unlikely to be successful at potty training.
Watch for an increased interest in the bathroom behavior of others. He may follow mom or dad to check out what is happening on the potty. Your tyke may also be interested in, and able to imitate, your behavior. This makes it easier for him to translate your actions on the big potty into his own behavior on the small potty.
Motivate your child with your praise. Once it is evident that he desires your approval, over-the-tops cheers and high fives will help encourage him to use the potty.
Watch for signs that he dislikes the feeling of a wet or dirty diaper, as he may be starting to make the connection between urinating and the feeling of wetness. Your kiddo may verbalize -- sometimes proudly, "I pooped!" -- when he has gone to the bathroom, and show a sense of relief or happiness after you change him.
If you begin potty training, only to find that your child is refusing the behavior or is less able to control his bladder or bowels than you thought, the time may not be right. It will be much easier on everybody involved to revert back to diapers and wait a few more months before trying again.

This sunday the articles continue on the same subject with Stop Listening to Your Girlfriends – Here's What You Need to do to Get Him Back. Enjoy your reading and give someone or yourself a hug! We all need physical contact and attention from others in this digital world we are living in! Have a fantastic day!
You love 'em dearly. You know your girlfriends have your back. But, when it comes to tactics to get your ex back, they just may be steering you in the wrong direction. They could, well meaning as they may be, even be hurting your chances of success.
Getting dumped by the boy you still love is one of the most difficult things a girl can go through. When it's all said and done, you have one though on your mind – getting him back.
Your girlfriends have been there to hear you out. They've given you shoulders to cry on. They've even shared their super secret chocolate stashes with you to help you get through this crisis in your life.
Now, they're offering you the best advice they have to give on how to get him back. Unfortunately, their advice is based on the rules girls play by and they aren't going to be all that effective at getting him back. If you really want to win him back, you're going to have to play the game by his rules – to some degree.
Playing a Girl's Game with the Boy's Rule Book
1) Never let him see you coming.
Your number one priority right now is to get him back. That means you have to dedicate yourself to the task. But, you have to do it in a way that doesn't look like you're trying to get him back. Don't show your hands because he'll constantly be watching and waiting for you to make your move.
2) Show the world you've moved on.
This includes your girlfriends. Smile. Go out and join the crowd. Fake it until you have everyone convinced that you truly have moved on.
3) Let him know you've got game.
All the time that you're trying to show everyone you've moved on, you need to invest in making yourself over from the inside out. Become the stronger, more independent woman you've always wanted to be. Get a makeover. Change your hair style. Learn to walk in those six-inch heels guys love so much. Become confident in your own skin. Once you've accomplished all this – then you let him see you coming and watch the fireworks as he takes in the new you.
In relationships, you often begin to take each other for granted. The more you learn about each other, the fewer mysteries there are to uncover. You're presenting him with a whole new you and many more mysteries to unlock. It's a curious mystery he's powerless to resist – especially if there ever were genuine feelings on his part. And your girlfriends? They love you regardless of whether you take their advice or not.
Thanx for reading through and i hope you get something good from this article. I have a couple of other blogs both about relations but also about how you can make a living online. Im also a musician, poet and reiki master as you can read about also if you are interested. I think we all are here to share and care for each others. That also give us hope and strenght to carry on;)

Poker cut card green
A cut card is a piece of plastic cut to the size and shape of a playing card, used to prevent viewing of the bottom card on a playing card deck. Exposing the bottom card of a deck playing cards is a common mistake made by dealers during home games. For this reason, you should use a poker cut card green which is placed under the bottom of the deck to prevent the bottom card from being seen. Cut cards are always used in casino's and poker rooms at table games like: Blackjack, Punto Banco and Poker to maintain randomness and fairness in a card game.
This green poker size cut cards have the perfect thickness 0.4 mm, measures 63 mm x 88 mm, are very durable and made of 100% PVC.
How to use a poker cut card?
The common practice when using a cut card is to place the cut card on the poker table next to the recently shuffled deck of cards. The player who cuts the cards places a stack of cards from the full deck on top of the cut card. The dealer then places the remainder of the deck on top of the cards that have been cut and begins to deal.

Moto X Pure Edition and Moto G 2014 Now Receiving The Android 5.0 Lollipop Update
Good news to the current owners of Moto X Pure Edition and the 2014 version of Moto G smartphones as Motorola has announced that they have started rolling out Android 5.0 Lollipop update for the devices. The update is currently available for the phones purchased in the US and since this process has started, definitely more regions will follow receiving the new Lollipop OS.
The Moto X Pure Edition is the unlocked ones and this one runs the stock version of Android Kitkat so it is not surprising to hear that it is already receiving Lollipop update. The second generation Moto G also gets the update and again for the unlocked ones which are the US GSM versions and even the GSM International versions but bought in the US. What about those carrier-released devices? Below is what Motorola said on a blog post...
"We're working hard with our carrier partners to bring this update to more of our devices as soon as we can,"
That means those who have Moto X and Moto G 2014 versions that are carrier-locked variants will have to wait a little longer.It's really good to hear that Motorola has kept its promise of fast update even though it was recently purchased by Lenovo from Google. I know many users will be happy about it.
Are these only two Motos getting the update? According to Motorola back in October, other devices of them are also to get the Lollipop but they are starting with the current ones. Some of models that were mentioned to get the Android 5.0 Lollipop update soon are the 2013 versions of Moto X and Moto G, Moto E, Moto G 4G LTE, Moto Droid Ultra, Moto Droid Maxx and Moto Droid Mini. If you own one of these, just extend your patience and you will definitely get your turn. : )

Building a business is hard work.
You know, cause you're doing it too.
And you're smart because you know that social media is a powerful tool for connecting with customers.
The only problem is you're really busy.
Here's where I come in: I can help you stand out on social media.
I'll attract your audience, build your brand and connect with your customers online so you can focus on building your business.
We'll work together so that you can learn how to be more real and raw online in order to build relationships on social media.
By night, I am the founder of Bravery Beats, a coaching consultancy with a knack for helping online entrepreneurs stand out and make noise on social media.
By day, I proudly serve as the Social Media Director at Telesco Creative Group, a full-service marketing and creative agency in Buffalo. (If you're located in Buffalo and need some help, give us a call.)
I am also the proud founder of Gluten-Free Good Neighbor, a blog dedicated to helping individuals more easily adapt to the gluten-free lifestyle.
Prior to entering the agency side, I served as the Digital Marketing Manager at the Buffalo Niagara Partnership where I was responsible for website development, social media and content marketing.
Before being promoted to Digital Marketing Manager, I worked as the Content Marketing Specialist. In this role, I successfully increased traffic to the organization's website by over 100 percent, and increased engagement on Twitter by 115 percent through the creation of a content editorial calendar, content and social media marketing strategy.
In March 2015, I was selected as one of 80 individuals to participate in Seth Godin's Ruckusmakers workshop. This experience ignited a flame within me.
I felt inspired to start helping others build their personal brands and businesses through creative, strategic digital marketing.
Before working at Buffalo's regional chamber of commerce, I worked for The Buffalo News as the Digital Project Coordinator. Throughout my time at The Buffalo News, I developed an interest in using data as a way to shape a social media marketing strategy. I also started blogging and learning more about inbound marketing.
I became fascinated by the multitude of ways that blogging enabled me to connect with people all over the world; my blog became an outlet to share information and advice, and help other people solve their problems.
Feeling a need to give back, in 2012 I started volunteering for The Senase Project, a nonprofit focused on eradicating poverty through community development in Ghana. Throughout my volunteership, I enabled the organization to grow its presence on social media and implemented the Sponsor A Student program, which has provided financial and emotional support to 13 students at the Akatim Village School.
A graduate of the University at Buffalo's 3-2 program, I have my BS and MBA with a concentration in marketing.
My values: bravery, authenticity/transparency, creativity, self-awareness, and honesty.
My passions: vlogging on YouTube, learning about social media marketing, blogging/journaling, yoga, photography and making a ruckus.

text: As an author of international repute, his books were popular in Germany in the 1920s onward, though banned during the Nazi years. Germany had already begun filming Wallace titles in 1927, but the Nazi era stopped any further production of such films. In 1959, inspired by the British Wallace film THE RINGER (1952), Preben Philipsen A/S and Rialto Film began making their first Edgar Wallace film, DER FROSCH MIT DER MASKE, based on Wallace's THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE FROG (1925). The German Edgar Wallace "krimi" was born. (A criminal or mystery thriller is called "krimi" in Germany.) Soon a familiar cadre of actors was inhabiting the Wallace krimi world: Joachim Fuchsberger, Heinz Drache, Siegfried Schurenberg, Siegfried Lowitz, Eddi Arent (providing comic relief), and that lovable maniac Klaus Kinski, best known to American audiences for his many films outside of the krimi genre. The jazzy, innovative music, provided by such composers as Martin Bottcher and Peter Thomas, added a contemporary hipness to stylish updates of stories decades old. It is these series of Rialto films, and a couple of other films made at the same time but from different producers, that represent "The German Edgar Wallace Films," and not any productions made in the 1920s or after the early 1970s.

Hungarian singer Boggie has used her new music video to show just how drastically Photoshop is used to transform people's looks.
Starting off wearing no make-up, Boggie is gradually transformed during the video using the power of Photoshop.
Her face is digitally retouched so that her hair, skin, eyes and teeth are all completely changed by the end of the clip.
Any blemishes she has are deleted as her make-up is digitally applied while her right eye is widened and copied over to her left eye so that her face can look symmetrical.
Boggie, whose real name is Csemer Boglarka, sings in the track Nouveau Parfum: 'I am not a product.'
While she declares in the chorus: 'Of beauty, preciousness; they cannot change me. Peerless, unparalleled. The new fragrance is myself.'
She adds: 'Mascara, blush, lipstick, lipsticks, lip liners, eye shadow, foundation, nail, pressed powder and I do not want it.'
By the end of the video, Boggie is virtually unrecognisable after her super glamorous digital make over.

Researchers from the Centre for Sleep Science at The University of Western Australia are using novel technology to help the Western Force rugby union team reduce the effects of long-distance travel and optimise their performance in the upcoming Super Rugby competition.
The Western Force are the most travelled sports team in the world (followed by the NFL's Oakland Raiders) and fly 68,000 kilometres during the year which presents huge challenges for recovery.
This year the team will fly more than 16 hours across multiple time zones to compete against the Jaguares in Argentina, creating a unique research opportunity to examine the impacts of ultra-long range air travel and jet lag on game performance.
UWA researchers are using the latest in wrist activity technology, called Readiband™, to accurately track rugby players' sleep and activity data. The players will wear the monitors for the entirety of the Super Rugby season, allowing the researchers to examine the relationships between sleep, cognition and game performance.
Elite sporting teams regularly collect performance data, however this technology is the first of its kind to predict the effects of sleep and other factors on players' future performance. The monitors are already used by championship teams in the US including the Seattle Seahawks in the NFL and the Chicago Cubs in Major League Baseball.
PhD student Ian Dunican from UWA's Centre for Sleep Science, said the Western Force players travelled the most of all the teams in the Super Rugby competition, and because of this, strategies to minimise jet lag and optimise player recovery were crucial.
"Sleep on the nights leading into a Super Rugby game combined with the change in time zones and travel can all affect a player's cognitive effectiveness and decision making during a game," Mr Dunican said.
"This technology helps us to accurately predict how players will perform against these factors to potentially adjust the teams' pre-game strategy, such as when to travel and when to train."
Adam Coleman, Western Force and Wallabies lock, said the team had a big season ahead and the effects of long-distance travel and fatigue had a huge impact on sporting performance.
"Making sure we get the right amount of sleep for our recovery in between games is crucial," he said.
The results of the study will be available later in the season and are expected to actively demonstrate the importance of managing long-distance air travel to reduce its effects on fatigue. Mr Dunican will work with the Western Force throughout the season to collect data and provide advice to players and staff.

Joanna Jedrzejczyk – affectionately known as Joanna Champion – defends her UFC Strawweight title against Valerie Letourneau tonight in the co-main event of UFC 193, a card headlined entirely by females.
Its a new day in the sport and one which very much has females at the forefront.
Fighters such as Ronda Rousey and Joanna Champion are heading the charge and empowering women across the globe with their beautiful violence.
As a Muay Thai practitioner I find Joanna Champion particularly enthralling to watch. Her brand of striking is head and shoulders above all the female fighters across both divisions.
Joanna can fight on the outside, mid range, the inside and throws beautiful combinations from nicely cut angles. Her opponents at this point have had no answers for her championship level Muay Thai. A woman this beautiful shouldn't be this brutal on the feet, surely not.
Well she is, so here's hoping we continue to see Joanna and her beautifully violent striking tonight.
In case you guys forgot here's an awesome highlight reel of the UFC Strawweight champ.

I'm keen on ensuring that the team has the input into who should be on that team, but I think keeping people as delegates who are inactive will hide the strength of the team.

You can die from popping a pimple? Say what????
The doc was asked if it is "bad to pop a pimple" and replied, "When it comes to popping a pimple, you shouldn't be the one doing it. In fact, you can die from popping a pimple. This area right in here (from the forehead to in between your eyebrows to the upper part of the nose, not the tip) is called the danger zone, and if you pop a pimple in this area it can cause a clot -- a bacterial clot to go right to the head and brain and cause a stroke. So, never pop a pimple."

Since 1829, commuters in London have been paying cash for public transportation. Currently there are less than 1% of the commuters who pay through cash for traveling in a Bus in London. Soon this 1% of commuters will stop paying in cash if the Transportation sector which is seeking consulting proposals to implement cashless payments through prepaid cards for commuters.
Introduction of Oyster Card in July 2003, a pay as you go card service has changed the way payments are made by the bus passengers. Oyster card has an inbuilt chip system and is based on RFID technology.
Source: TransportforLondon
In London, commuters who chose to stay away from using any prepaid cards end up paying a premium amount for commuting. This has caused the commuters to adopt the prepaid cards culture and go cashless for commuting on London buses.
Leon Daniels, TfL's managing director for surface transport stated that going cashless would save the company about £24 million.
In a similar move across Europe, Sweden is moving towards implementing cashless payments on its public transport network. Smart cards have been introduced elsewhere in England but going completely cashless may take some time. . In Northeast England passengers are paying for the bus service by downloading tickets on their mobile phones.
Go Ahead which is a leading bus operator in England has introduced a smartcard system known as The Key. This smartcard system is already used for over 3 Million journeys a month outside London. Stagecoach which is also a leading bus operator shared that 1/3rd of the journeys made on its buses are paid through a smart card.
LTP view: These are encouraging signs for transportation sector in Europe. Going cashless is saving them millions of pounds. By introducing loyalty based programs tied to smartcards and prepaid cards transportation providers will be able to lock in the commuters and increase their revenue share.

By Ahmed Al-Matboli, IOL Correspondent
BERLIN, December 10, 2005 (IslamOnline.net) – The first Muslim matchmaking service in Germany is attracting scores of matrimonial profiles from Muslims searching for Mr. or Mrs. Right.
"Finding a wife or husband is no longer a headache for Muslims in Germany," Samer Fahd, the founder of the Islamic Marriage Center, told IslamOnline.net on Saturday, December 10.
Fahd said several Muslims have tied the knot since the service was launched in February of this year.
"We were not that famous at the beginning," he said. "But the center has become reputable over the days and has received so far 150 applications."
Islam comes third in Germany after Protestant and Catholic Christianity.
There are some 3.4 million Muslims in the country, including 220,000 in Berlin alone. An estimated two thirds of the minority are of Turkish origin.
Online Service
German-born Fahd, who hails of a Palestinian background, said they also have an online matchmaking service on the center's Web site.
"All s/he needs to do is to fill in an online application and state clearly whether s/he is a practicing Muslim.
"Women should specify whether they wear hijab or have children," he said, noting that several divorcees and widows have also applied.
Fahd said German women who reverted to Islam constitute 40 percent of all female applicants.
"Their age ranges between 30 and 35."
He noted that German Muslims from all walks of life have sent their profiles to the center.
"We have physicians, engineers and craftsmen."
Strict Rules
Fahd said the center is applying strict rules in matchmaking.
"We fully take into consideration the religious backgrounds of the applicants to have a harmonious marriage," he said.
"The personal information of all applicants is treated as strictly confidential," stressed Fahd, who is helped by his mother in categorizing female applications.
He said the center has received some requests from non-Muslims, who want to marry Muslim women.
"We politely tell them that is not permissible in Islam for Muslim women to marry non-Muslims unless they officially reverted to Islam."
Fahd, 37, denied having faced any government hitches to register his center, which abides by relevant German laws.
He stressed that unlike German matchmakers who charge some 2000 euros for their services, his center gets only between 40 to 60 euros.

text: So I deleted all of the bloatware off of my Droid 2 and now I can't get the OTA 2.3 Gingerbread update. I'm also having trouble use adb with my Mac. I know how to start the adb server and am very comfortable with terminal (senior programmer and macports expert) but my phone will not register with adb for some reason. I have debugging enabled and connect it with "charge only" selected. I read somewhere in an HTC forum that it helps if I use a powered hub... so I'm thinking power might be an issue. I want to use adb to put that stupid application CityID back on my phone so I can get the OTA update. I reinstalled all of the other bloatware using the android market. Maybe someone could send me the .apk for CityID for 2.2 on the Droid 2? Has anyone else encountered this problem? Sorry for running on.... If it makes a difference my phone is currently rooted using Z4 root.

Nutty Magnet Day
These were so addicting, I might just make them on occasion and put them in my etsy shop.
It's way too late again and I am really getting tired of myself! I have no self control when it comes to going to bed! Tomorrow I will be an ole' grouch again in the morning til I pump my body with coffee. :P

Below is a close-up of the bunny in the larger painting shown below. What inspired me to do this painting was my intense desire to get my daughter this white bunny with one ear for Christmas! I saw him online and seriously thought about him for days after. I knew though that my husband would not want him (wahhhhhhh!). He's right I suppose... no room and we don't need another pet, but I still couldn't stop thinking about him. So I ended up putting a couple bunnies in this piece, but put two ears on each one. I'm not that risky in my paintings to do a one eared bunny! It would bother me too much. Not that the bunny had one ear, but that the painting was not balanced, LOL. Anyway, by the time I went back to look at the real one-eared white bunny, it was gone. Someone had taken my bunny home! WAHHHH!

Of course Christmas is always so hectic, so normally when I'm spread too thin I paint an aceo or two. Aceos are like a comfort food to me! I love creating them! For me, the smaller pieces come more naturally. I remember in high school I wrote my friend's names on pieces of rice, LOL!
Here's my latest aceo. I love her facial expression. And of course I had to put a flying cat in there with her!
I have a four-year-old daughter (Samantha) who is seriously obsessed with art! If she gets an idea, she NEEDS to go in her room immediately and get it on paper. Every night I try to read to her, but she begs me to let her do just *one* more drawing. I have a big table in there for her
with lots of paper and supplies. :) It's so fun to see your kids love what you love. Although sometimes being an artist can be a curse! Strange, but it really does overtake you sometimes! Here is her latest drawing. Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a blessed day! Liz

General News of Wednesday, 19 February 2014
Source: Myjoyonline.com
The Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) is warning of a worsening power supply to electricity consumers.
The ongoing load shedding is set to get worse because of an emergency shutdown of another generator at the Volta River Authority's Thermal Power Plant at Aboadze.
GRIDCo's announcement comes 24 hours after Deputy Energy Minister, John Jinapor, declared that the ongoing load shedding will end by midday, Tuesday.
But Head of Public Relations at GRIDCo, Albert Kwesi Quainoo confirmed the contrary to Joy FM's Top Story on Wednesday
When asked if consumers should expect more blackouts, he replied in affirmative – yes.
"It basically means that periodic outage that we have been having as a result of the power curtailment programme is going to be worse than it used to be."
Mr. Quainoo in an earlier statement noted: "The non-availability of this additional generator has worsened the power supply deficit hence will require GRIDCo to manage the load carefully to avoid a total shutdown of the system. This may result in some power curtailment during peak periods until the VRA generator is restored to service."
He said, "The repairs on the generator in Aboadze was originally expected to have been completed on Sunday, however, due to some complications it is now expected to be restored to service by Sunday, February 23, 2014."
"Currently, all three (3 No.) units at VRA's Thermal Plant in Aboadze are not in service," he said.
Hopefully, he noted, the expansion and maintenance works which are already ongoing at the TIC° and VRA's Thermal Plant at Aboadze are expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter of this year.
GRIDCo has therefore appealed to the general public to conserve electricity by switching off appliances and equipment which are not in use.

The following is the text of a statement released on Monday by Beverly Young Nelson, accusing Roy S. Moore, the Republican Senate candidate in Alabama, of a sexual assault when she was a teenager.
My name is Beverly Young Nelson.
I was born on November 14, 1961. In Santa Maria, California.
My husband, John, and I have been married for the last 13 years. He has taken time off from his work as a truck driver to be here with me today and I thank him for that.
When I was 15 years old I began working after school. I was attending Gadsden High School. I worked at the Olde Hickory House on E. Meighan Blvd. off of Highway 431 in Gadsden, Alabama. I worked there after school as a waitress. Some nights I worked until 7pm and other nights until 10pm.
Mr. Roy Moore was a regular customer. He came in almost every night and would stay until closing time. He sat at the counter in the same seat night after night. I remember exactly where he sat.
Mr. Moore was an adult. He was much older than I was. I knew that he was the District attorney in Elowah County. I did not understand what that meant, but I knew that he was an important person and I always treated him with respect.
When he was at the restaurant he would speak to me and would sometimes pull the ends of my long hair as I walked by him. I had red hair down to my waist. He would complement me on my looks. I did not think anything of it. I did nothing to encourage his flirtatious behavior. I was accustomed to men flirting with me because I was well developed and I competed in beauty pageants. I did not attach any significance to Mr. Moore's behavior towards me and I did not respond to any of Mr. Moore's flirtatious behavior for two reasons: First, I had a boyfriend. Second, even if I had not had a boyfriend I was not interested in having a dating or sexual relationship with a man twice my age.
I turned 16 on November 14, 1977. About a month later I received my yearbook from Southside high school where I had spent my freshman and sophomore years. I happened to bring my yearbook to work with me to the restaurant on December 22, 1977. I put it down at the end of the counter. Mr. Moore happened to notice it and asked if he could write in your yearbook. I felt flattered and I said "yes". He wrote in my yearbook as follows:
I took the yearbook home with me at the end of my shift that day. I felt honored that Mr. Moore, who was such an important person, would write in my yearbook.
A week or two later I was working at the restaurant. My shift ended at 10pm when the restaurant closed. It was a cold night and I went outside to wait for my boyfriend to pick me up and drive me home. My boyfriend was late. Mr. Moore exited the restaurant at the same time as I did. He noticed that my boyfriend was not there and he offered me a ride home.
I trusted Mr. Moore. He was the District attorney. I thought that he was simply doing something nice by offering to drive me home. I did not want to wait outside in the cold so I agreed.
I wanted to call my boyfriend but this was before cell phones and I had no way to contact him. My home was only about two and a half miles away. I planned to call my boyfriend after I got home to let him know that I had gotten a ride home and that there was no need for him to pick me up.
Mr. Moore was wearing brown hush puppies on his feet. He drove a two door car. I believe that it was an old car, but I do not recall the model. I got into his car in the passenger seat. He began driving. I thought he would get on the highway, but instead he drove to the back of the restaurant. I was not immediately alarmed as there was an exit from the back of the restaurant to the street and he could drive from there to my house without getting on the highway. However, instead of driving to the street he stopped the car and parked his car in between the dumpster and the back of the restaurant where there were no lights. The area was dark and deserted. I was alarmed and I immediately asked him what he was doing.
Instead of answering my question, Mr. Moore reached over and began groping me, putting his hands on my breasts. I tried to open my car door to leave, but he reached over and locked it so I could not get out. I tried fighting him off, while yelling at him to stop, but instead of stopping he began squeezing my neck attempting to force my head onto his crotch. I continued to struggle. I was determined that I was not allow him to force me to have sex with him. I was terrified. He was also trying to pull my shirt off. I thought that he was going to rape me. I was twisting and struggling and begging him to stop. I had tears running down my face.
At some point he gave up. He then looked at me and said, "you are a child. I am the District attorney of Etiwah County. If you tell anyone about this, no one will believe you." He finally allowed me to open the car door and I either fell out or he pushed me out. I was on the ground as he pulled out of the parking area behind the restaurant. The passenger door was still open as he burned rubber pulling away leaving me lying there on the cold concrete in the dark.
I got up and tried to pull myself together. I was making my way to the front of the restaurant when my boyfriend arrived. It was late and it was dark. I did not say anything to him as to what had occurred as he had a violent temper and I was afraid that he would do something that would get him into trouble. When I got home I went to my room. The following morning my neck was black and blue and purple. In the days following I covered the bruising on my neck with makeup. I did not tell anyone about what had happened. I was scared. I felt that if I told anyone Mr. Moore would do something to me or my family. I decided to keep what happened to myself.
The day after Mr. Moore assaulted me I called the restaurant and quit my job. I never went there again.
About two years later I told my younger sister what Mr. Moore did to me. About four years ago I told my mother what happened. Before I married my husband, John, I told him what Mr. Moore had done to me.
My husband and I supported Donald Trump for President. This has nothing to do with Republicans or Democrats. It has everything to do with Mr. Moore's sexual assault when I was a teenager.
I thought that I was Mr. Moore's only victim. I would probably have taken what Mr. Moore did to me to my grave, had it not been for the courage of four other women that were willing to speak out about their experiences with Mr. Moore. Their courage has inspired me to overcome my fear.
Mr. Moore attacked me when I was a child. I did nothing to deserve his sexual attack. I was frightened by his position and his power. I am coming forward to let Mr. Moore know that he no longer has any power over me and I no longer live in fear of him.

This past weekend I had a very long conversation with a friend of mine. We talked about the concept of time and how we as young people don't think we have enough of it. We keep thinking we had to do everything yesterday in order to make our youth count, to make sure we make the most of what we have. But then she said this one thing that alleviated the biggest weight off of me.
She told me, "you have enough time to do everything you want in this life so don't worry about that."
When you think about it, that's probably the simplest phrase she could have told me. It's basically saying everything I just said in that first paragraph. But for some reason when she said it to me, everything kind of clicked. The past year or so I've constantly felt this nagging in the back of my mind telling me to move faster, make decisions, start setting things into motion. But I now realize I don't have to do that every second of every day – I don't have to make it a source of stress for myself.
Sure you have to make decisions in order to start to figuring out what you want to do with your life, but that doesn't have to dictate every waking moment of your day. Sometimes it's okay to live in the present and enjoy right now – in fact it's encouraged.
We all have enough time. I have enough time to decide what I want to make out of my life, to make sure my voice is heard and to decide which vessel I choose to make that happen. There is no need to stress my youth away by worrying about it so much. Besides, all that stress is bound to cause the early onset of wrinkles and gray hairs anyways.

What It's Like to Die
Pictures from here.
Entertainment Weekly is going nuts over the Lost finale, understandably. But one of their obsessions is the long list of dead characters. They had many of the dead characters come back for photo-shoots and interviews. The photos were odd, I never really like seeing the actors all cleaned up and shiny, they just look strange. But some of the interviews were fun. For example there's a video of the actors talking about what it was like for them when they found out their characters were dying. You really feel bad for these people, and you can tell many of them are barely restraining their anger.
Check it out at ew.com.
(Frankly I don't think the Ethan guy has anything to complain about, he's been in almost every season since he's died.)

608 – Recon
10 second recap: Sawyer is a cop, he dates Charlotte, he's still looking for Anthony Cooper, there's a new girl name Zoe, Widmore is against "Locke", Smokey had a bad mother, Sawyer isn't on anyone's side, Kate and Claire are BFFs. I think that covers just about everything.
Sawyer gets a new name to add to his collection. The flashsideways was pretty good, the reveal was suitably surprising so I was satisfied. I enjoyed seeing Charlotte again, but I was mostly reminded how much I miss her.
We got some Kate and Charlie teases in this episode. I think the writers might be overestimating how much we care about the other timeline. I am a little curious, but I don't foresee great things happening with Kate, and I don't think Charlie's going to be doing much of anything.
We finally get to find out which side Widmore is on. That's been annoying me for a long time now.
"Locke" was strangely forthcoming about his past. Apparently he had a crazy mother, and that's why he is the way he is. Of course he still thinks that he's right about everything, but at least he has someone else to blame when he does crazy things.
They've added a new character, Zoe. It's pretty late in the show for new people, but I'll gladly welcome any female characters that they add to the show. The male to female ratio on Lost has always been pretty off-balanced.
A pretty good episode. The Sawyer parts weren't extremely special, but they were OK. I'm happy that he isn't blindly following "Locke". I'm quite interested in the Widmore situation and the "Locke" backstory, so this episode was pretty fun for me. All in all a pretty good episode. 7.5/10.0

605 – Lighthouse
Tags: Aaron, Adam & Eve, Battlestar Galactica, Charlotte, Christian, Claire, David, Desmond, Dogen, Hurley, Jack, Jacob, Jin, Juliet, Kate, Libby, Locke, LOST, Master List, Miles, Mr. Widmore, Sarah, Sayid, Shannon, The Lighthouse, The Others, The Temple, Walt
This might have been one of the only Jack flashbacks/forwards/sideways that I really enjoyed. And I have to hand it to the writers. I'm thoroughly impressed that they managed to make me care about Jack and his relationship with his newly introduced preteen son. If I had heard that Jack was going to have a son and he would have parenthood issues I would have rolled my eyes and wrote this episode off as a loss. But I was surprised at how much I cared.
On the Island Hurley was leading Jack to Jacob's spy-tower. There we saw a very familiar list of names. Jacob told Hurley that someone, number 108 on the list, was coming to the Island and Hurley had to help him get there. No luck in this episode, but I'll bet we'll hear more about that later.
Meanwhile Claire finally did some talking. Yeah, she's crazy. She's also BFFs with "Locke" although she somehow doesn't seem to know his name. Poor Jin is now stuck with Claire and Locke and he knows way too much. He's in survival mode and he's surrounded by murderers. Also his leg is mangled. This guy has been through the wringer over the last two seasons.
This was a good episode. It set up a BSG reminiscent relationship between Hurley and Jacob, it had a surprising and effective reveal of Jack's new son, it ramped up the anticipation about Claire and what the deuce she's going to do, and it started two fun guessing games: who's David's mother and who's coming to the Island (skip down the bottom of the post for my guesses and a couple of polls). Overall a solid episode. 7.5/10.0

fish & chips (?!)
(aka ff&c)
several weeks ago ... here's how we rolled in san francisco on ff&c.
when it comes to chips, it's about the sweet potato fries. (apologies to the english pubs). unfortunately, even with almost traditional f&c, shoestring fries were offered up. perhaps we would have sought the traditional f&c, but we were hungry, and this place is close to work. (and actually, we just weren't quite sure where to get good ol' traditional fish & chips nearby work. NOTE TO SELF: yelp.)
