Collecting and processing information with Chandler
Note to self
We'll help you organize your data with Chandler, an application that lets you gather information and then decide how to use it.
As far as conventional wisdom goes, it makes perfect sense to use dedicated applications for different types of data: a task manager to manage your to-dos, a calendaring application to track your appointments, and an email client to take care of your messaging needs. But as the volume of information grows, you might find yourself constantly switching back and forth between different applications and spending an increasing amount of time on organizing and structuring incoming information. Enter Chandler [1], an application that attempts to change the way we manage and process information (you can read more about the project's vision on the Chandler website [2]).
Chandler's developers called it "the Note-to-Self Organizer," but you can also think of it as an information aggregator and processor. Unlike traditional applications, Chandler allows you to collect information first and then decide how to process and manage it. Chandler doesn't distinguish between different types of data: Everything you feed into it is treated as generic notes. All notes collected in Chandler can be transformed into more conventional tasks and events, which you can then manage with the use of some rather nifty tools.
Installing and Configuring Chandler
Installing Chandler is not particularly difficult. First, grab the latest .tar.gz archive from the project's website, then unpack it in the desired location. To launch Chandler, use the terminal to switch to the resulting directory and run the ./chandler command. Before you start using Chandler, you should do some preparatory work.
Although you can use Chandler as a standalone application, you should consider connecting it to the Chandler Hub service [3]. This allows you to sync Chandler's data between several machines, access your information through a web browser, and share data with other users. To enable this feature, you have to create a Chandler Hub account first. Once you've done that, switch to Chandler, choose File | Accounts, select the Chandler Hub Sharing account, and enter your Chandler Hub username and password in the appropriate fields (Figure 1). While you're at it, you can also configure the Incoming Mail and Outgoing Mail accounts, which allow you to send, receive, and process messages directly in Chandler.
All notes in Chandler can be organized into collections. Although the application comes with a few default collections, such as Work, Home, and Fun, you will most likely need to add your own. To do this, choose Collection | New, give the collection a name, and press Enter. Right-click on the created collection and pick a color from the Collection Color menu.
TIP: Chandler and Gmail
Although the current release of Chandler does work with the popular Gmail email service, the application doesn't fetch messages in Gmail's Inbox folder. The problem is easy to fix, though. When specifying the Incoming Mail account, press the Configure Chandler folders button. This creates three additional folders in your Gmail account: Chandler Mail, Chandler Starred, and Chandler Events. If you then create filters in Gmail that redirect incoming email to the appropriate folders, you are good to go.
Chandler Basics
Chandler sports a conventional three-pane interface that is packed with tiny nifty creature comforts (Figure 2). Starting with the left pane, which is divided into three sections, the top section contains four built-in collections: Dashboard, which provides a global view of all your notes; In and Out for incoming and outgoing email messages, respectively; and Trash, which holds deleted notes. The next section contains user-defined collections; here, you create and manage all your collections. The last section holds mini-calendars for the current and next month (you can hide the next month's mini-calendar by dragging the section divider down). Each date with events has a so-called busybar next to it, and the size of the busybar depends on how many events are scheduled for the particular date. If you click on any date, you'll see a list of events attached to it right above the mini-calendar.
The middle pane displays a list of notes in the currently selected collection. To switch from list view to calendar mode, press the Calendar button in the main toolbar (Figure 3). This essentially turns Chandler into a calendaring application, wherein all events (i.e., notes with dates and times assigned to them) are displayed in the weekly calendar view. With ease, you can move events around and adjust their start and end times with the mouse. When in the Calendar view, you can quickly navigate to the desired month and week via the mini-calendars in the right pane. Clicking on the tiny tag icon next to each collection lets you combine several collections into a single calendar view. The middle pane is also where you process your notes. For example, you can easily star any note in the list by clicking in the Star column next to it. Then you can view all starred notes by clicking on the Starred button in the main toolbar. Also, you can sort notes by their titles or dates as well as mark them as unread or as needing a reply. The latter can be particularly useful if you use Chandler to process email messages. Besides that, Chandler allows you to process notes quickly according to the Now-Later-Done triage.
Finally, the right pane acts as a property inspector, which allows you to change the settings of the currently selected note. The button at the top of the pane allows you to change triage status, star the note, convert it into an email message, add the note to the calendar (thus turning it into an event), specify the event's settings, configure the alarm, and add comments.
Using Chandler
Now it's time to put Chandler to some practical use. The first step is to create a new note and add it to Chandler. The easiest way to do this is to use the Quick Entry bar in the main toolbar. Simply type the text you want and hit Enter to add the note to Chandler. The Quick Entry bar sports a smart data parsing feature that automatically analyzes and processes notes. For example, if you enter a note like "Dinner with friends 05/09/2009 6pm--9pm," it will automatically be turned into an event scheduled for May 9, 2009, from 6 to 9pm. Once the note is in Chandler, you can add it to a specific collection. Notes in Chandler can belong to several collections at the same time, so you can use collections as tags. For example, you can add a business trip-related note to both the Work and Travel collections.
The Triage feature lets you track the status of added and processed notes. To switch to the triage view, click on the Triage column in the middle pane. In this view, all notes in the currently selected collection are grouped by their triage status. Clicking on its triage label changes the triage status of a particular note. To refresh the view, press the Clean up button in the toolbar.
Chandler allows you not only to collect and process information but also share it with other users, which makes it a perfect collaboration tool for workgroups. If you have configured mail accounts, you can use Chandler's email capabilities to share information. To turn any note or event into an email message, select the item you want in the middle pane, then choose Item | Address Item from the main menu. Specify the recipient and add an optional message in the comments field. Choose Item | Send to send the message. When the message arrives in the recipient's In collection, it can be processed as any other note in Chandler (Figure 4).
Another, and more efficient, approach is to use the Chandler Hub service, which lets you publish your collections and share them with other users. To publish a specific collection, select it and choose Share | Publish from the main menu. Once the collection is published, you can invite other users to subscribe to it by pressing the Invite button (or you can do it later by choosing Share | Invite). This generates two links: one for the view-and-edit subscription and another for the view-only subscription. Copy the links and send them to other users. Chandler Hub also lets you access and manage your information with a web browser, which can come in handy when you don't have access to the Chandler desktop application (Figure 5). Chandler Hub does a good job of mimicking the desktop client, and thanks to the clever use of AJAX technology, the web-based interface behaves pretty much like the desktop application.
The Cosmo server, which powers the Chandler Hub service, is also released under an open source license, and a ready-to-use version of it is available at the project's website. This means that you can easily roll out your own Chandler Hub service. To do this, download the latest release of the Cosmo server and unpack the downloaded archive. Before you start the server, make sure that the Java Runtime Environment is installed on your machine. Next, define the JAVA_HOME environment variable by running the following command in the terminal (the exact path depends on your Linux distribution and Java Runtime Environment version):
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/ java-6-sun
To start the server, run the command below, replacing OSAFSRV_HOME with the actual server directory (e.g., osaf-server-bundle-1.1.0):
$OSAFSRV_HOME/bin/osafsrvctl start
Now point your browser to http://localhost:8080/ and you should see the welcome page.

On Developer Drive today there's a new post (the first in a series) from Gerald Hanks about building an ad tracker in PHP. In this first part he sets up some of the background - the database that will hold the tracker information.
Banner ads for services related to the web site owner's industry allow customers to view products that tie into the site owner's core business. In exchange, the web site owner can charge the banner ad owner for every impression (banner ad appearance) or click-through (when a user clicks the banner ad). In order to build a banner ad management system, we must first create the database tables that will hold the ad information, the client data and the activity schedule for each ad.
He includes the SQL you'll need to create a few tables - the tracking table for the ads themselves (their metadata), the clients table to handle the groups wanting the ads and the activity table to track views and click-throughs.

Jessica,Thanks for the comment! That sounds like a book worth reading. And I agree, reading with parents should DEFINITELY count!
Blogs About Reading
Sound It Out
Dr. Joanne Meier
Along with her background as a professor, researcher, writer, and teacher, Joanne Meier is a mom. Join Joanne every week as she shares her experiences raising her own young readers, and guides parents and teachers on the best practices in reading.
Should reading with parents count?
I blogged about reading logs back in August, when Molly was just getting started with a daily homework assignment to read and respond every day after school. The title of that post, Reading Logs, Reading Blahs pretty much sums up the way I feel about reading logs. Your comments on that post suggest that many of you feel the same way!
And there was this comment from Ask the Expert:
At our school, children in each grade are required to do a minimum daily independent reading time, starting in first grade. Anything a parent reads to his child doesn't count.
The author went on to say that she dislikes that policy. "I believe it is counterproductive, especially for children struggling with reading or who don't like to read."
I couldn't agree more — for a school to make a rule that books read to a child shouldn't "count" towards reading logs is just plain wrong! Am I right?! Regardless of the level of the reader, there is always benefit to a parent read aloud. I think that time should count.
What do you think? What are your recommendations for schools policies on reading as a homework?
I know last time I commented on a post I wrote about Emma Walton Hamilton, and I apologize, but I'm going to do it again :O)In her book she talks about how there has been a decline in reading in the last 50 years, and how that could be because of the technology age, but how it seems to be something more hidden and secretive...that when we are young we have a subliminal connection between reading and love and joy and comfort because of sitting on our parents lap and reading with them while cuddling, or while nursing, or eating a snack, or whatever and that connection between reading and all things warm and fuzzy is made...and then we get into school and we start to transition from reading together to reading alone, and sometimes that is a hard transition for some children, and they may struggle with reading...and when they are called upon in class to read aloud and can't do it well, or messes up and people laugh, or they get huge reading assignments each night from a book that they don't really like or aren't interested in, and then that starts to build the connection between reading and chore, and reading and frustration, and reading and work...and then some kids tend to stray away from books.So I definitely 100% disagree with that rule that when it is read aloud it doesn't count...Emma also says in her book "Raising Bookworms: Getting Kids Reading for Pleasure & Empowerment" (www.raisingbookworms.com) that a kid is never to young or too old to be read to...and I really believe that's true, I remember being in college and having huge reading assignments and I would read some by myself, and then my mom would read some to me aloud. I also have a 19 mo old and she has loved books since she was about 3 mo. old...I believe that is what has made her so advanced...she was walking independently by 8 mo. old, she knows and can sign about 50 different American Sign Language signs, she has a huge vocabulary and speaks complete sentences (the other night we were at a restaurant and there was a baby crying and she said "Mommy, Daddy, the baby is sad" and I said why is the baby sad Amiah? And she said "The baby wants mommy") and I really contribute that to the fact that she loves to be read to and loves to "read" on her own.
Joanne,I am a retired teacher and grandmother of two boys. When my daughter works as a nurse, I am in charge of taking care of my grandsons. Since the older one is in first grade, this includes helping with homework. Yes, I definitely feel that reading with him should count. We also draw pictures together and write sentences about the pictures. We take turns writing the sentences. He does not like to do homework, so it is a bit of a challenge. I am glad that you made a comment on my blog so I could find yours. I do use a lot of the tips I find on Reading Rockets when working with my grandsons. Thanks again, Betty
At my children's school, reading with parents counts on the log and is very much encouraged.
In a time when we can't do enough to get parents involved, it's hard to imagine that a school wouldn't see the benefits of including the time a student reads with the adult at home. Reading is making meaning from words. Isn't a child still doing that as they listen to someone else reading?
At my school, reading with parents absolutely counts. For some children, that's their favorite aspect of the reading time - time with their parents! It motivates the children to take the time, makes it pleasurable, helps them see parents as readers, gives them opportunity to discuss their reading and ask questions, and it gives parents an opportunity monitor their child's progress and feel empowered to do something to be involved in their child's education. In the perfect world, reading with parents AND reading alone would both happen, but this isn't the reality. This policy would just ensure that fewer of our students completed any at-home reading.

• supreme •
su-preemor syu-preem • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Adjective
Meaning: 1. Highest, loftiest, dominant, greatest in authority, or rank. 2. Greatest in importance or significance, ultimate.
Notes: Today's most superior word comes with a stately noun, supremacy, and a handy adverb, supremely, which is not necessary with the verbs meaning reign. These verbs generally take the bare adjective: In our house, mama reigns supreme (NOT supremely), meaning mother has the last word. Anyone who believes one race is superior to others is a supremacist. Do not confuse today's adjective with that of sauce suprême, the crème sauce often served with fowl. This suprême is never seen without his hat.
In Play: The Supreme Court is supreme because it is the ultimate court, the court of final decisions. There is no appeal beyond this court: "In our house, son, your mama is the Supreme Court. If she says, 'No', you can't appeal to me." The Supreme Being, of course, is God, who we hope will protect our troops in the field from the necessity of making the supreme sacrifice, laying down their lives for their country.
Word History: Today's Good Word comes to us via French from Latin supremus, the superlative degree of superus "upper", an adjective created from the preposition super "over". Super, which we also use 'as is' in English as an adjective and prefix, comes from the original PIE root, *(s)uper "over", with a 'Fickle S', an S that is sometimes there, sometimes not, for unknown reasons. Greek did not inherit the S, so its variant was hyper "over", which English also uses freely in a different sense. By the time the root percolated through the Germanic languages, it had become English over and German über. (In this season of replacing US Supreme Court justices, Susan Lister thought that we should look into this Good Word. We are supremely delighted that she reminded us.)

Property tax help coming to senior centers
Mayor Luke Ravenstahl recently announced the next step in the city's continued effort to provide residents with one-on-one assistance to help keep their taxes low in light of Allegheny County's property reassessment.
This month, the city's Real Estate department employees are visiting senior centers to help residents take full advantage of the available property tax relief programs. The schedule, as well as important information and a helpful calculation tool, is available at pittsburghpa.gov/propertytaxassist.
"We will continue to provide one-on-one assistance for property owners, much like we helped thousands of residents successfully fight their appeals," Mayor Ravenstahl said. "If residents need help filling out tax relief forms, or simply want to be certain that they are receiving all of the tax reductions, please call 3-1-1 to schedule an appointment at one of our senior centers. City employees will be happy to talk with you over the phone or meet with you in person."
After calling the Mayor's 311 hotline to schedule an appointment at a nearby senior center, residents can ask questions and receive help filling out the Homestead Exemption and Senior Tax Relief forms to ensure maximum benefit.
The following South Pittsburgh area senior centers will host meetings at 15-minute intervals from 9 to 11 a.m., with the last meeting ending at 11 a.m.
• February 19, Beechview, 1555 Broadway Ave.
• February 21, Mt. Washington, 122 Virginia Ave.
• February 28, South Side, 12th and Bingham streets.
Residents are required to bring a copy of proof of age or disability and a copy of proof of 2011 income. Acceptable proof includes: 2011 Federal Income Tax Return, including a 2011 Social Security Statement and W-2 form if employed; or a 2011 Pennsylvania Property Tax - Rent Rebate Return.
To qualify for the tax relief programs, residents must meet the following requirements:
• Applicant must have owned and occupied a home, as the principal residence, in Allegheny County for at least ten continuous years.
• Applicant must own and occupy the property as principal residence.
• Owner or spouse must be born before December 31, 1959, or be permanently disabled and over the age of 18.
• Total household income in 2011, including only 50 percent of Social Security and SSI, must be less than $30,000.
Last month, City Council passed Mayor Ravenstahl's proposed reduced millage rate and tax reduction enhancements to lessen homeowners' property taxes – the millage rate has been reduced from 10.8 to 7.56 mills; the Homestead Exemption was raised from $10,000 to $15,000; and the Senior Tax Relief was increased from 30 percent to 40 percent.

What are Cyber Essentials?
Cyber Essentials helps organisations show clients and different partners that the most vital and rudimentary Cyber Security controls are used.
After completion of a promise certificate, the organisations are issued Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certificates. The certificates are designed for small and medium-size companies to full fill cyber security basic needed things and give them with promise at a low-cost. Cyber Essentials is a Government-backed scheme that assists organisations in fighting against several common cyber attacks.
There are several types of Cyberattacks, but a significant number are very basic, carried out by relatively inexpert people. First, check if the doors are unlocked they act like a typical thief. Some fundamental but vital practices can avoid cybercrimes or attacks.
An organisation can put in place five technical controls:
- Access controls
- Secure Configuration
- Malware Protection
- Patch Management
- Firewalls
An organisation should protect its Internet connection by creating a 'buffer zone' between it's IT network and other, external networks. It is also called Firewalls.
The firewall analysis incoming traffic to find out whether or not it should be allowed on to its network.
✓ Types of firewall:
- A personal firewall for each laptop or computer. It comes as a standard.
- A dedicated firewall to protect the whole network. It's mostly for a more complicated set up with many types of devices. A wide range of routers has this ability.
Secure Configuration:
New software and devices to be open, manufacturers often set the default setup. They come with 'everything on' to make them connectable and usable. Unfortunately, these settings can also give cyber-attackers with opportunities to easily gain unauthorized access to data.
- Check the settings:
Settings of new software and devices must be checked. If required, make amendments to strengthen security. For example, by disabling or removing any functions, accounts or services which is not needed/demanded.
- Use passwords:
Laptops, tablets, desktop computers, and smartphones contain data and often save the details of the online accounts that one can use, so the devices and online accounts should always be protected by a password. Passwords are an effective and easy way to prevent unauthorized users from accessing devices. A Password should be hard for somebody else to guess. Before devices are distributed and used the users must change all default passwords. The default passwords are easy to guess. The use of pins or Touch-ID can also help secure a device.
- Extra Security:
For 'important' accounts, such as banking and IT administration, users should use two-factor authentication (2FA). An effective and common example of this involves a code sent to a smartphone which a user must enter in addition to his password.

Hi All,
Looooooong time no build...
So I got a wild hair(or is that hare) to build a switch rod and I found FSW114-4-MHX on Mudhole for cheap! It's an 11' 4wt switch rod that I'm going to run an OPST Microskagit head on. I'm going to take some time on this so progress will be slow. Does anyone have any insight on building a switch versus other fly rods or even conventional rods? I'm assuming it will be pretty straight forward.

Just in time for Halloween, a new red band trailer and poster for Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters have been released. The action-fantasy film stars Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton as the titular fairy tale characters, though in this story they're all grown up and out for some very bloody witch payback. The pic actually looks like it could be a fun ride, with plenty of gore and inventive kills to keep genre fans happy. I'm a little disheartened by the reliance on CGI effects vs. practical work as the story provides the perfect opportunity for some great physical effects. It's also a tad disappointing to see the "damsel in distress" role that Arterton appears to be thrown into while Renner is painted as the "sexy hero," but we've only seen brief glimpses of the characters in the trailers so hopefully she holds her own in the full film.
Hit the jump to check out the red band trailer and poster. Directed by Tommy Wirkola, the film also stars Famke Janssen and Peter Stormare. Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters opens in 3D on January 11th, 2013.
Via IGN.
Here's the synopsis for Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters.
Catching up with Hansel (Renner) and Gretel (Arterton) 15 years after the traumatic incident involving a gingerbread house, the siblings have evolved into vengeful bounty hunters dedicated to exterminating witches. Over the years, the siblings became expert hunters, famous for their proficiency at tracking and taking down their prey. Although still recovering from their ordeal, their work is relatively easy as for an unknown reason harmful spells and curses do not work well against them.
The Mayor of Augsburg recruits them to rid the town and nearby forests of an evil sorceress (Janssen) who is planning to sacrifice many local children at the witches' gathering during the upcoming 'Blood Moon' night in two days time. To make things worse, the duo also has to deal with the brutal Sheriff Berringer (Stormare) who has taken power in Augsburg and conducts a very indiscriminate witch-hunt of his own.

Located on a sloped lot bordered by Liberty Lane, Emerald Street and Union Drive West, the City Hall hospital is based within a massive skyscraper that forms part of the district's skyline around City Hall's delta-shaped park. Despite being a hospital, the location does not appear to be a respawn point for the player if they die, the nearest to the hospital in southern Algonquin, after unlocking Algonquin; instead, the player usually respawns further north at the Lancet-Hospital Center in Lancet.
The eastern and southern sides of the building give no indication as to the nature of the building, while the northwestern side of the building houses a parking lot containing Ambulances and back entrances into the hospital. Because of this design, the hospital could sometimes be confused as a regular skyscraper when only viewed on the eastern or northern side.
Unlike other hospitals, the City Hall Hospital is not listed under the "hospitals" section on Peep That Shit's tourism website.

Half a century after Rachel Carson's death, her work toward a cleaner environment still resonates.
In the 21st century, we know a lot about the dangers of pesticides. We haven't stopped using them altogether, but we've become more mindful of them, especially as they affect our food. Lists of the "dirty dozen" foods most likely to transmit environmental poisons into our bodies circulate around the Internet and parents' groups, and more and more, we seek out organic foods to avoid chemical contamination. We think twice before spraying our own gardens, and we look for natural insect repellents, especially to use on our children.
But there was a time, not so long ago, when pesticides were considered a magnificent technological advance, allowing us to live without the annoyance of bugs, grow bigger and stronger crops, and prevent insect-borne diseases.
Rachel Carson changed all that.
Her 1962 book "Silent Spring" sounded the alarm about pesticide use, connecting it to the deaths of animals and birds, and even humans. Chemical companies, she claimed, knew of the dangers of these pesticides, but didn't share that information with the public, touting their products as miraculous technology that was nothing but beneficial. She advocated for much more responsible use of pesticides, especially the then-common DDT.
At another time, in another political climate, the book might have been ignored. There's no counting the environmental alarm-raisers whose pleas have fallen on deaf ears, or preached to the choir with no impact outside the conservation community, or not been read at all. But in the 1960s, many in the U.S. were already concerned about environmental damage, and they were ready to act on information like what Carson gave them. President Kennedy called for further investigation of Carson's research, and when her findings were confirmed, he passed legislation strengthening restrictions on chemical pesticides.
"Silent Spring" changed the world, but it didn't lead to a complete sea change in our attitudes toward pesticides. They're still used – from the spray that blankets agricultural fields to the insect repellent we spritz on before an outdoor party. In many ways, Rachel Carson would probably be proud of the progress we've made toward understanding the dangers of pesticides – but she'd likely also see that we have a long way to go.

An air show in southwestern Ohio reopened with a moment of silence Sunday, a day after a pilot and wing walker died in a horrifying, fiery crash in front of thousands of spectators.
Wing walker Jane Wicker was apparently on the wing of the 450 HP Stearman plane when it crashed into the ground just before 1 p.m., as seen in amateur video from the Vectren Air Show at Dayton International Airport.
Wicker's company, Jane Wicker Airshows, is located in Front Royal, Va., according to the company's Facebook page.
U.S. & World
The Facebook page announced her death and the death of a pilot, Charlie Schwenker. The post asked for prayers for their families.
Wicker lived in Bristow, Va., according to aviation records. A message left at a phone listing for Schwenker in Oakton, Va., wasn't immediately returned.
Wicker was a contract employee who worked as a Federal Aviation Administration budget analyst, the FAA said. She was the mother of two, and engaged to be married.
A video posted on WHIO-TV shows the plane turn upside-down as Wicker sits on top of the wing. The plane then tilts and crashes to the ground, erupting into flames as spectators screamed.
Ian Hoyt, an aviation photographer and licensed pilot from Findlay, was at the show with his girlfriend. He told The Associated Press he was taking photos as the plane passed by and had just raised his camera to take another shot.
"Then I realized they were too low and too slow. And before I knew it, they hit the ground,'' he said.
He couldn't tell exactly what happened, but it appeared that the plane stalled and didn't have enough air speed, he said.
"I'm still shaking,'' Hoyt said. He said he had been excited to see the show because he'd never seen Wicker in action.
On the video, the announcer narrates as the plane glides through the sky and rolls over while the stuntwoman perches on a wing.
"Now she's still on that far side. Keep an eye on Jane. Keep an eye on Charlie. Watch this! Jane Wicker, sitting on top of the world,'' the announcer said, right before the plane makes a quick turn and nosedive.
Federal records show that biplane was registered to Wicker. A man who answered the phone at a number listed for Wicker on her website said he had no comment and hung up.
The show was canceled for the rest of the day, but events resumed Sunday. The National Transportation Safety Board said it is investigating the crash.
Another spectator, Shawn Warwick of New Knoxville, told the Dayton Daily News that he was watching the flight through binoculars.
"I noticed it was upside-down really close to the ground. She was sitting on the bottom of the plane,'' he said. "I saw it just go right into the ground and explode.''
Than Tran, of Fairfield, said he could see a look of concern on the wing walker's face just before the plane went down.
"She looked very scared,'' he said. "Then the airplane crashed on the ground. After that, it was terrible, man ... very terrible.''
Wicker's website says she responded to a classified ad from the Flying Circus Airshow in Bealeton, Va., in 1990, for a wing-walking position, thinking it would be fun.
She told WDTN-TV in an interview this week that her signature move was hanging underneath the plane's wing by her feet and sitting on the bottom of the airplane while it's upside-down.
"I'm never nervous or scared because I know if I do everything as I usually do, everything's going to be just fine,'' she told the station.
Wicker wrote on her website that she had never had any close calls.
"What you see us do out there is after an enormous amount of practice and fine tuning, not to mention the airplane goes through microscopic care. It is a managed risk and that is what keeps us alive,'' she wrote.
In 2007, veteran stunt pilot Jim LeRoy was killed at the Dayton show when his biplane slammed into the runway while performing loop-to-loops and caught fire.
Organizers were presenting a trimmed-down show and expected smaller crowds at Dayton after the Air Force Thunderbirds and other military participants pulled out this year because of federal budget cuts.
The air show, one of the country's oldest, usually draws around 70,000 people and has a $3.2 million impact on the local economy. Without military aircraft and support, the show expected attendance to be off 30 percent or more.
Thomas reported from Philadelphia. Associated Press writers Kerry Lester in Chicago and Randy Pennell in Philadelphia contributed to this report.

"Online engagement will increasingly become more important with the growing number of digital citizens. It is simply impossible to engage on all sites. The government could engage on sites which allow for reasoned and constructive debate and gain traction. Netizens themselves who desire rational discourse should support such sites or else start them. They should not be afraid of being labelled 'pro government,'" so said Amy Khor of REACH, the government's feedback unit, and a junior minister, in parliament recently.
Funny, she didn't mention http://www.facebook.com/FabricationsAboutThePAP#!/FabricationsAboutThePAP?sk=wall
But then looking at what is posted there by the founder and friends, there isn't the need the need for the government to engage this site. All they do is put up stuff from government websites. Bit like the SPH and MediaCorp publications, channels, stations and websites who take stuff from government media releases. But at least the local MSM edits the stuff they get, adds some context and commentary, and pretends to do shume analysis. This site gives the government stuff raw.
So why engage the site? It agrees 100% with the government, in the government's own words. Add no value leh.
Maybe the government should engage the site by funding it so that the people running it can get more active ("passionate") in engaging their follow S'poreans in "rational discourse", and "reasoned and constructive debate"? They should be originating original material, things that this site (hopefully), TOC, Yawning Bread, Singapore Notes, Diary of A Singaporean Mind etc etc regularly do. Or at least editing or putting into context what the government says.
Maybe like our ministers (I'm talking here about the public perception), they need serious money to motivate them to try harder? The founder should have the time. According to an ST report,he is a young unemployed S'porean who claims he is not fronting for the PAP. I believe him because the PAP would never use an unemployed person for anything ("Can't get a job, what kind of person is this?")
Maybe this will happen here? Remember the addenda to the President's Address from the Ministry of Law and the Ministry of Information, Communications and the Arts?
China is intensifying restrictions on internet use after official reports revealed that three people have been "punished for spreading false rumours" online.
Authorities say they are carrying out inquiries into other suspected cases.
The news comes just over a week after Communist Party leaders agreed a list of "cultural development guidelines".
They include increased controls over social media and penalties for those spreading "harmful information".
The Xinhua news agency quotes regulators as saying that efforts will be stepped up "to stop rumours and punish individuals and websites spreading rumours".
Finally, came across this definition of "objectivity". "Objectivity", Richard Taflinger of Washington State University has termed as "the detached and unprejudiced gathering and dissemination of news".

Now, this Conchorde prototype is a turn up for the books! It has a bit a twisted story to it too. According to the "owner", the guitar was stolen from Jim Burns's workshop! He knows it was stolen because Jim Burns told him! So if you're in the market for a hot guitar, you know where to look. I don't know what eBay's policy on selling stolen goods is but I suspect this auction may not run its course. I believe they check for counterfeits (or as we known them - "Lawsuit", copy etc.) so I suppose they'd check for items that had fallen of the back of the proverbial lorry too.
It would appear to be a handmade (by Jim Burns) prototype of the famous and lovely Flyte and probably ought to be in a museum.
In the listings own words:
Burns Conchorde Prototype Bass GuitarDavid in Barcelona - not to be confused with the Costa Del Crime
Believed to be the only one ever made (any comments welcome)
prototype of the Flyte Bass
there is a six string Conchorde (looks newer than this bass to me)
but this is the bass version (looks older)
has pre - Burns U.K. lettering etc.
The bass seems older than a 1970s Burns U.K. instrument
It looks more late 60's / early 70's ...
obviously a prototype , obviously handmade
the pickups etc look like a late 60's Burns ( they look hand-wound )
I bought the Conchorde bass in approx 1974 ( used / secondhand )
from a dealer in Northern England.
I spoke to Jim Burns in approx 1975 about the Conchorde ...
(at a trade fair / exhibition in London, Russel Hotel ?)
He was very angry because he said the bass was stolen from his workbench
some years earlier. He was very aggressive to me, he thought I'd stolen it)
I said I had bought it in good faith but he was so angry I had to leave quickly.
I played the bass in a band for many years
It sounded good and was good to play.
I want to sell this Burns to someone who will appreciate it.
any offers considered / any questions are welcome
U.K. delivery F.O.C. (no charge) international at cost.

This 3/4" thick, tempered-glass vessel is circular with brilliant orange and yellow layers weaving and blending themselves into an opaque and reflective, marble pattern. Its non-porous surface is extremely attractive and sanitary - naturally resistant to stains, odors, discoloration, and heat damage. With an overall measurement of 16 1/2" x 16 1/2" x 5 3/4", it will require a minimum-width cabinet of 18". The 731-ABR , single-handle, vessel faucet reaches a height of 12 1/4" and features a classic trough-style spout with a 4" reach. Its sleek lines gradually widen and contract to create a stunning design statement. The single handle has a flat top with an inverse curve below to mimic the spout design; and it easily sets just the right water flow and temperature. Ceramic disc cartridges assure long-term, dependable operation, and a beautiful antique bronze finish completes its distinctive appearance. The faucet is constructed without lead and is compliant with NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) standards, the Safe Drinking Water Act, the cUPC (Uniform Plumbing Code of the United States and Canada), the ADA (American Disabilities Act) and carries the EPAs WaterSense label. The included sink ring stabilizes the curved bowl above the counter and coordinates with the antique bronze finish of the other fixture's. Additionally, a spring-loaded, vessel pop-up drain (vpud) is included, which opens and closes with a simple press to its attractive antique bronze cap.

To ring in the International Year of Chemistry, the American Chemical Society is celebrating the practical applications of chemistry by giving tips on the perfect Bloody Mary.
Kids, the American Chemical Society has a message for you: Don't drink. Adults, the American Chemical Society has a slightly different message: Don't drink unless you can get it right.
Mixing drinks in your mouth by taking alternate shots of vodka and spritzes of lime juice is not okay. Leaving the crust of salt off the rim of a glass full of margarita is lazy. Failing to chill a martini glass - what, were you raised in a barn? But one of the most complicated and crucial drinks is a Bloody Mary. Not only does it have nearly all the tastes - sweet, salt, sour and umami - packed into one little glass, it's perfectly acceptable to down one of these as breakfast.
A quick recipe for the the drink:
1 oz vodka
5 oz tomato juice
1/2 oz lemon juice
pinch celery salt
2 shakes Worcestershire sauce
2 shakes Tobasco sauce
ground black pepper
Serve it over ice and garnish it with a celery stick and a lemon wedge.
The Bloody Mary not only has a rich flavor, but you can smell it coming to you. This is, according to the American Chemical Society, due to all the volatile compounds in it that leap out of the drink and head around the room, looking for people to entice. But the lack of stability of the compounds in the drink mean that it's vital to make the drink fresh. The ACS also strongly suggests that the whole concoction be chilled at every stage. The chemical reactions involving acid can be slowed if the drink stays cool enough. And make sure the tomato juice - the main bulk of the drink - is top notch.
And where to scrimp? Strangely enough, the booze. Cheap vodka has to fight its way through Tobasco, Worcestershire, and often a crust of celery salt around the glass. The actual alcohol part of the Bloody Mary is so inconsequential that different regions just sub in whatever is on hand. The Bloody Geisha uses sake. The Bloody Maureen uses Guinness. The Bloody Molly uses Irish whiskey. Apparently, as long as you get the filler right, you can use any bloody thing.

Big League Chess Comes to Chicago
USCL picks Windy City for expansion
It's a great day for Chicago. IM Greg Shahade, commissioner of the United States Chess League (USCL), has announced today on the league's Web site that the Chicago Blaze will be one of two new expansion teams to join the league next season. Big league chess has come to Chicago at last.
The USCL is a organization of competitive professional chess teams from across the country that play matches during a ten-week season that runs from late August to late October and is then followed by playoffs and a championship. The league currently has twelve teams from New York and Boston to Seattle and San Francisco but until now no team from Chicago. It's the equivalent of Major League Baseball for chess, a fact that the league's logo makes no attempt to disguise.
The difference, of course, is that USCL players aren't pampered and over-paid celebrities; they're just strong chess players who represent their cities for a little bit of money and a lot of civic pride. Their accessibility will make the Blaze a great opportunity to promote chess generally in Chicago.
The team roster includes GM Dmitry Gurevich, IM Angelo Young, FM Mehmed Pasalic, and young experts Adam Strunk and Ilan Meerovich. Glenn Panner, chess expert, tournament director, and organizer extraordinaire will be the team's manager. The Blaze will play their matches on the Internet Chess Club from Angelo's Touch Move Chess Center.
The Blaze is an initiative of the Illinois Chess Association, and thanks must go to ICA President Chris Merli for supporting the project, to ace blogger and chess dad Brad Rosen for proposing the arrangement, and to über-organizer Sevan Muradian for recruiting players and spearheading the discussions with the USCL that led to today's announcement. There would be no Blaze without Sevan. Nor without Evanston chess mom and ICA activist Maret Thorpe, who came up with the team name, and chess mom Andi Rosen, whose ideas and outreach to players at crucial stages were, well . . . crucial.
I'm also proud and honored to be a part of the Blaze supporting cast (no, not as a player, heaven forbid), and I'm looking forward to working with all of these fine people to bring big-league chess to Chicago.
There's more on Glenn's blog, and Brad's site will probably have something on it soon. There will be more in the weeks to come. Stay tuned.

Badlands Golf Club: True Desert Golf in Vegas
LAS VEGAS, NV -- The terrain of the desert floor where the City of Las Vegas sits is wide and flat. Here the famous strip has grown in an unabated manner. Off to the northwest, the massive mountains that ring the valley rise and at the base of the mountains is a craggy, rocky, landscape that has been carved and gouged by torrential runoffs from the infrequent rains that pelt these mountains during the deserts "monsoon season" in mid winter. Thousands of years of erosion action have cut gullies, washes, and rocky outcroppings that would seem like the most uninviting landscape imaginable.
This is uninviting land except when it is looked upon by creative golf course designers. These sinewy canyons only need some imagination and a bit of green to be turned into the ultimate fantasy playground for golf. These visions can create something beautiful and bring to life a course that can be called only one thing, The Badlands Golf Club of Las Vegas.
The Badlands is a 27-hole facility on the northwest side of town off of the Summerlin Highway. It is a region of Las Vegas that has sprung up in growth in the last five years. This fascinating course was built in 1995 and was a colaborative effort between as unusual a mix of personalities imaginable, Johnny Miller and Chi Chi Rodriguez.
Miller, the former tour player and golf's premier television talking head also has developed a substantial golf architectural firm. Chi Chi Rodriquez, a stalwart tour player and Senior Tour star, has for years beat the drum for the love of the game of golf.
The idea that these two vibrant personalities could come together and let their thoughts run wild on this mish mass of land makes you wish that you could just be a part of a few of the conversations between them. These are two of the ultimate quote machines in the game and it must have been one fun ride as they brought this course to life.
From the clubhouse your first site is of the stark tan hues of the landscape framing ribbons of green grass that seem to be poured between the hardened ground. This is true desert golf in a rugged setting. Toss in a little bit of a breeze and simmer over the Southern Nevada heat and you have all of the elements for challenging golf.
The Badlands Golf Club opened in 1995 with eighteen holes and a third nine-hole tract was added to three years ago. The stark terrain was definitely a factor in the naming of the first two nines, Desperado and Diablo. The original tract can only be defined as the ultimate in target golf. The target is there in front of you, all green and inviting, but to miss the mark sends your ball off to the dramatic wasteland of arroyos, crevices, and rock-strewn desert expanses.
"This course is demanding but fair. The original nines are 50% fairway and 50% natural terrain and you have to be careful where you hit your shots. The new nine, The Outlaw Nine, is a lot wider and funnels your shots back to the fairways. We get a lot of repeat players who come back here just to conquer our course," explained PGA Head Professional Jeff Levin.
Out at the range, you catch the glimpse of the crisp cut edges where grass and desert meet. This sharp defining line makes a great visual statement. But be sure you spend some time at the range and get your "A" swing grooved. You will want it out on the course.
There are four tees to choose from and the course plays up front at around 2,600 yards for each nine, up 3,500 yards for each nine from the back tees. What is more revealing are the slope ratings of the combinations of nines. The original pairing of the Desperado/Diablo has a slope rating of 122 from the men's tees and 133 from the back, while a pairing of the Desperado/Outlaw brings those slopes down to 120 and 125 respectively.
The course controls which pairing of nines you will be playing that day by your tee time. Generally speaking, an early morning tee time (before 10 a.m.) can get you the original pair to play. But as they run over 60,000 rounds a year through this facility, keeping things moving takes a solid control on what course groups are on. If you want to play the original layout be sure to call in advance.
The original holes are defined by the sight of the island-like tee boxes that look like green carpets that were left stranded in the desert. Almost every hole puts you in the position to have to carry the ragged desert to find the fairway and any errant drive is heading for trouble. This is not a place for the big hitter to try and overpower the course. Architect Miller puts a stop to that very quickly and you soon learn to put the ball where he wants you to and learn to rely on solid iron play to score.
The greens are relatively large and are quick. At least Miller felt a need to give the player a good target because missing the green can lead to big trouble. A perfect example is the par 3 8th holes on the Desperado nine. This hole plays 169 yards from the Blue Tees and the green has a large bail out area way left. A shot at the pin has to carry the rock walls fronting the green and a deep dip down to the wash below.
The next hole is a 541 yard par 5 form the tips and after knocking up this ascending fairway you will come to the challenge of heading to the green which is draped on a cliff edge. The waste area in front of this huge green is thirty feet deep and thirty yards wide so you HAVE to get it there or you are dropping another ball. This is true desert golf.
The scenery around the course is wonderful, but it certainly was better when the course first opened in 1995 when there were no housing developments or casinos anywhere around the site. Today, Vegas has caught up and houses line the course. But if you are going to play golf in Vegas get used to this. It is a sight you will find everywhere. One advantage is that if you want to stay close to the Badlands you only have to go across the street to The Sun Coast Casino and get a room. And good luck at the tables.
DIRECTIONS- From the Strip take Interstate 15 North to Route 95 North. Take Summerlin to Rampart Ave. and go left to Alta Drive. RATES- Rates vary greatly from month to month so call for rates.

Urine-- or out: Our effluent is good enough to drink
Residents of Lake Monticello have something in common with Fido: they drink water that's been in a toilet.
Yes, after leaving the Moore's Creek Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant, water that was once mixed with urine, feces, and everything else poured down the drain empties into Moore's Creek, which feeds the Rivanna River, which supplies Lake Monticello.
But before you cry "Ewww" and start gagging, consider these facts. First off, by the time it pours forth from a Lake Monticello tap, Charlottesville's effluent has been extensively treated to remove organic content. It's then chlorinated to kill bacteria and viruses and then de-chlorinated so that it won't harm the ecosystem once it's released.
In other words, it's pretty pure. "Our effluent is high quality," agrees Larry Tropea, executive director of Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority.
Ron Connor, field director of the Lexington office of the Virginia Department of Health, says the Moore's Creek plant treatment far exceeds typical wastewater standards. He estimates that the plant removes more than 95 percent of the BOD (biochemical oxygen demand), a measure of the oxygen uptake in streams from waste and an indicator of bacteria in the water. Most wastewater treatment plants remove only 87 to 90 percent of the BOD.
The effluent is further cleansed as it travels down the river, until finally11 miles later– it's run through Lake Monticello's own treatment plant, which makes it potable.
The real question? If our former toilet water is good enough for Lake Monticello and for thirsty Richmonders, another 50 miles downstream, why isn't it good enough to replenish our own parched reservoirs?
Well, it soon might be.
"If our reservoirs hit zero, it's something we could consider," says Tropea. But drinking our own effluent, he says, would be a last resort.
In recent reports, Tropea has outlined what the City is calling a Doomsday plan; before we'd drink wastewater, extreme measures would be put into place. These measures include bringing in barges to access the "heels" of the reservoirs, tapping Chris Greene Lake, and cutting off all nonessential water use the economy be damned.
Connor agrees that Charlottesvillians drinking our own wastewater is an unlikely scenario. He says the Health Department recommends that water travel a minimum of 15 miles downstream before being reused for drinking water (a bit further than the 11 miles to Lake Monticello), but he notes that there is no state-mandated requirement to that effect. Localities, he explains, control discharge upstream for five miles. "The longer it travels, the better the quality," he says.
(For those wondering, Charlottesville isn't downstream from any major metropolitan areas, so we don't drink another city's effluent.)
If all other options had been explored, however, Connor concedes that the Health Department could approve such a plan and would even expedite the process: "We would try to speed things up."
In the meantime, for those who'd prefer not to drink old toilet water no matter how clean abiding by water restrictions is as important as ever, even considering the rain of a week ago.
Though water demand jumped by more than a million gallons on the two days it rained reaching 8.991 million gallons on Friday, September 27– by Sunday, September 29, it had dropped back to 7.545 million gallons.
Should it rain again soon, Tropea says, he hopes that "people don't get lulled." Water use increases when it storms, he says: "It's human nature. When it rains, people let their guard down."

Unofficial Portland music scene retreat: TreeFort Fest 2015
In a bathroom with pink satin lining the walls and uncomfortable floral couches, Amy and I aren't planning our next move–we're taking selfies in the mirror and rubbing our hands with free lotion. The El Korah Shrine bathroom is our green room, our hideaway from the bustling, chaotic festival happening right above us. In the media lounge across the hall we scarf down hours-old pizza and pull out our notebooks. We just scored an interview with Modern Kin tomorrow at The Crux and we're reviewing the bands we've circled in the program:
Big Tits are an offshoot of Warm Soda, and we can't wait to see them; La Luz is playing tonight and we won't miss it. Between shows in parking lots warm with Boise sunshine, coffee shops, and bars, we rest in the basement of El Korah Shrine, watching old men pass into the bar next door, coveting their trucker hats.
This is TreeFort festival.
A festival that features more Portland bands than any in our own town (except maybe PDX Pop Now!), TreeFort is truly the Portland music scene's home away from home for a week. It's our spring break. It's a welcome retreat. It's fitting that TreeFort declared itself a "festival of discovery" because year after year I leave in awe and with a long list of new bands I can't get enough of. Music scenes from Boise, Seattle, Portland, New Orleans, Austin, even abroad coalesce in Boise, Idaho to create a five-day, non-stop, high energy adventure.
And there's no shortage of things to do at the festival. Aside from wandering between the many venues, there's beer to drink, stories to hear, friends to make, yoga to do (if you want to get up early), secret shows, day parties, skating, art, etc. I'm so looking forward to spending these five days at TreeFort.
Amy and I are making the drive to Boise on Wednesday. Here are a handful of Portland shows I am most looking forward to (full lineup here):
Divers: Drinking a beer with your Dad in the back of the venue.
Roselit Bone: Country music soundtrack to your bar brawl.
The Domestics: My new favorite Portland band.
Catherine Feeny: Super impressive vocals that you Mom would like.
Summer Cannibals: Loud, fast, no-bullshit–Portland's next big thing.
Talkative: Wild, upbeat, no apologies.
Bearcubbin: When you're in the mood for sweaty, jittery dancing.
Wooden Indian Burial Ground: Proudest moment of TreeFort 2014 was the bloody nose I got in the pit at WIBG.
Genders: An underrated Portland force, perfectly garage-y yet put together.
MFNW 2012, or Eye-Roll Fest 2012 COMING SOON
Ugh, who else is rolling their eyes? Before the weekend is out I'll let y'all know what I think about 2012's Music Fest Northwest lineup.

The National Association of Realtors said existing home sales jumped 5.9 percent to 5.04 million in November.
Economists were expecting 4.90 million homes sold on an annualized basis. October's number was revised down to 4.76 million from 4.79 million.
"Momentum continues to build in the housing market from growing jobs and a bursting out of household formation," said NAR chief economist Lawrence Yun. "With lower rental vacancy rates and rising rents, combined with still historically favorable affordability conditions, more people are buying homes. Areas impacted by Hurricane Sandy show storm-related disruptions but overall activity in the Northeast is up, offset by gains in unaffected areas."

It would be well worthwhile for any supporters who are in London for Saturday's RBS 6 Nations game to come down and watch what promises to be a highly entertaining match and then stay on to enjoy the hospitality in the clubhouse and Wales v France live on TV.
