When I try to increase the font size of the filename in the file tab, the font gets bigger, butthe lower half of the filename also becomes progressively cutoff. This results in half of a big fontdisplayed in the file tab.
/** Tab Labels **/
"class": "tab_label",
"fg": [0, 0, 0, 255],
"font.size" : 18,
"shadow_color": [255, 255, 255, 80],
"shadow_offset": [0, 1]
Have you tried increasing tab height?
Yes, I have tried changing tab height, but it doesn't help to reveal more of the font. In fact, I've also tried shifting the font position up, using "content_margin" but that doesn't help either. The lower half of the filename remains obliterated for fonts > ~13ish.
This bug also affects me at build 2218: http://i.imgur.com/Mejr7.png
You can get the theme which causes the bug here: https://github.com/whitequark/soda-theme.
I'd like to add my request for a fix for this issue. I already run Windows 7 in High DPI mode (125%), and font size 12 for the tab labels is the largest I can go without having them cut off. It's really straining my vision
I am sorry to bump such a late post, but is there a solution to this issue?.. Thanks..
I'd really like to be able to do this too. I have some visual issues and I'd like to be able to make the tab fonts just a bit bigger, but everything I've tried has resulted in the same issue.
Also an issue here...I've tried everything I can think of within tab_control, tab_label, etc... to no avail.Am running at 108 DPI and would like to go beyond font.size 11 without the cut-off...
I would like to have this fixed as well.
I've found a ticket on UserEcho to scale the entire UI from one setting:
sublimetext.userecho.com/topic/1 ... -displays/
I've also put together a theme that scales everything I can find, but I haven't yet found a way to scale the tabs or the command palette. Here's my work so far:
github.com/appsforartists/pixel ... lime-theme
i have the same problem, please fix
It's been a few years, and I'd really like to have readably sized tab labels.
Has anyone found any solution to this yet?
Dear developers!Could you please fix this thing already?I bought 15" fullHD laptop, and I really need to increase tab font.
+1 Default font size of the tabs is toooooo small
I have the same problem.the font size is really small
The issue is filed here:
The frustrating thing is that there are loads of trivial to fix bugs that are ignored for years. I don't expect this to change.
Same here, Is anybody doing something to repair it?
This issue was addressed in build 3127

VeganMoFo: Apple Tasting!
As you can see in this picture, everyone got a clipboard, with all the varieties named, and room for you to take notes. At the end, there was a big board where you could vote for your 3 favorites. I had a hard time choosing, but some of my favorites were: Blacktwig, King David, Brushy Mountain Limbertwig, Rubinette, My Jewel and Sunny Russet. My friend Laura tasted with me and she was really good at it. She had a great palette, and was very skilled at discussing the flavor nuances. I was impressed!
Another reason I wanted to go, was to see if someone would help identify what kind of apple tree I have. Someone planted the tree before we bought the house, so I don't know what kind they are. They are delicious fresh (crispy, juicy, a good sweet-tart balance), great in pies, and great in applesauce. So, I'm just thrilled. But I'd love to know what kind they are. The fellow they referred me to took a few bites, inspected them and said that his best guess was York Imperial, which he said is generally more of an East Coast variety. I will do some more research and see if that fits the bill. As for identifying, he said the main 3 things to look for are appearance, taste, and season (when they ripen in the apple season). Most of all, I was filled with pride and joy when he enthusiastically said "Wow! This is a really great apple!"
Whatever they are, at least I know that the man who grows 65 varieties agrees that our mystery apples are really great!
9 comments:
So fun and delicious!! And I'm SOOO envious about your "mystery apple" tree :0)ReplyDelete
I've never heard of an apple tasting! What a wonderful way to spend the day.ReplyDelete
Best of luck finding out what your mystery tree is!
65 varieties! Wow, souns like heaven. And how cool that you're a step closer to figuring out what variety your apple tree is!ReplyDelete
Oh man, I love apples SO SO SO much! I would have loved to attend this. I want to taste your apples sometime too!ReplyDelete
i had no idea there could even be 65 different types of apples! that's so awesome, and how tasty, too! mmmmmmm! i would be proud of those apples, too (hooray for them finding yours to be super tasty!) - i'd love to have an apple tree in our yard. that would be so wonderful (as i'm thinking of all the tasty apple treats i could create); perhaps i'll try and convince dan to let me plant one! excitedface! :)ReplyDelete
Apple tasting sounds like a great time! I'm no apple expert, so I'd enjoy getting to try all those different types.ReplyDelete
that sounds like so much fun. It's great that you have an apple tree -- especially a tasty one.ReplyDelete
I was thinking of going to this place in WA that grows a lot of different types of apples, but haven't found the time yet.

To penetrate the narrow, overgrown channels that weave into the mangrove swamps at the southwestern tip of Florida, speed is of the essence. Relax the throttle too much, our guide explained, and we would get stuck in the pungent tidal mud that lurked just inches beneath our flat-bottomed boat.
Our voyage had started half an hour earlier in Everglades City, one of four main gateways to Everglades National Park, which, at more than 6,000 square kilometres, is the third-largest national park in the U.S., nearly the size of Algonquin Park. The town is a sprawling collection of sun-bleached bungalows that share one distinguishing feature: the "main" floor is actually the second storey, while the ground storey consists of little more than a staircase and concrete pillars at the corners -- houses balanced on stilts. In a flood-prone coastal area where the average elevation above sea level is a mere two metres, it's an architectural style born from bitter experience.
Long before you even enter Everglades City, you start seeing signs along the highway for the boat tours offered by, it seems, just about everyone in town. Fortunately, we had been forewarned: none of the privately run tours are permitted to operate in the interior of the park. Instead, these boats skirt around the perimeter, eyeing the scenery from a distance and searching for dolphins and other inhabitants of the open sea.
Dolphins, however, were not what we had come for -- after all, you can see those on whale-watching trips off the east and west coasts of Canada. The Everglades is a vast network of rivers trickling south from Lake Okeechobee at a rate of a few hundred metres a day, providing wetlands habitat for hundreds of species, many of which never get close to the 49th parallel unless they're in a cage: alligators, crocodiles, manatees, and even the critically endangered Florida panther.
We drove straight through town, pausing only to take note of the early-bird specials at the local seafood restaurants, and proceeded to the National Park Service visitor centre a kilometre south of town.
Here, too, there are big tour boats that take loads of tourists along the coast -- but there are also six-person tours in boats small enough to make it into the swamp interior, departing several times a day. They fill up quickly, so you should book in advance. (We arrived around noon and were able to get the last two spots on a 3 p.m. tour.)
Our guide was Captain Steve, a large, genial man with a ruddy face and a mile-wide Southern drawl. After ascertaining that the tour consisted of four Canadians and a couple from Michigan, he warmed us up with some patter about the weather ("I had a winter jacket once") and then headed for the mouth of the Turner River.
There, as if by prior arrangement, assorted ospreys, ibises and great blue herons were waiting to demonstrate their particular hunting and nesting habits. (In 1870, the population of the entire area was estimated to be 85 people and two million wading birds. Proportions have changed significantly since then, despite an $8 billion conservation plan launched a decade ago, but we were still outnumbered.)
Soon, we were navigating into a maze of ever-narrower channels, through water stained a deep brown by tannic acid from the leaves of red mangrove trees, whose branches arched over our heads to form long tunnels. And that's when Captain Steve spotted a pair of ospreys performing some renovations on their giant nest, and eased off the throttle just a touch to give us a better look.
We learned a great deal about the nesting and feeding habits of the osprey over the next 15 minutes, as Captain Steve moved us backward, forward and sometimes round in little circles attempting to extricate us from the mud. As baby ospreys get older, apparently, the father stops bringing fish all the way back to the nest, instead dropping it on the ground progressively further from the nest to encourage his youngsters to get the heck out.
"My boys'll take pizza out of the truck," Captain Steve noted, by way of comparison, as he tried to untangle swamp vegetation from the outboard motor. "But when I leave it out at the mailbox, they just look at me funny."
Soon we were cruising again, following the lazy flight of a red hawk, drifting past buzzards lurking in branches overhead, and even coming across a patch of flattened grass recently vacated by an alligator. Alas, no alligators actually crossed our path -- and no manatees or panthers, either.
We emerged from the two-hour tour having seen a spectacular and unusual ecosystem, and so many birds of unusual shapes and sizes that we could have taken up bird-watching on the spot and immediately had a respectable life-list. But more importantly, we emerged with some crucial local knowledge, courtesy of Captain Steve, about the little-known nearby spots where we could be sure to see the gators and manatees we still craved (see below).
Alex Hutchinson is a Toronto freelance writer.
Winter water temperatures in the Gulf may feel warm to a Canadian, but they feel frigid to manatees, giant sea cows whose closest living relative is the elephant. That's why a significant portion of the world's manatee population gathers to bask in the warm water of a discharge canal from a Florida Power & Light generation station just south of Fort Myers. The local county has set up a modest Manatee Park along the canal -- we saw dozens of them during our visit, along with a school of rays leaping joyfully out of the water, well worth the $1 per hour parking fee. www.leeparks.org or 1-239-690-5030.
You might see one along I-75, the interstate known as "Alligator Alley" that cuts across the peninsula from Naples to Miami. But your best bet to see one at less than 100 kilometres per hour, according to Captain Steve, is in the Fakahatchee Strand State Preserve, just off Highway 41 northwest of Everglades City. There, the kilometre-long Big Cypress Bend Boardwalk passes a pond that serves as an active "alligator hole," with sightings of young and adult alligators pretty much guaranteed. www.friendsoffakahatchee.org or 1-239-695-4593.
Sadly, your best bet is probably to drive as fast as you can. Florida panthers are generalists, ranging across forests, swamps and prairies in the region, but there are thought to be fewer than 100 left in the wild. State authorities have recorded only two human-panther encounters in the past four years. Car-panther interactions are more common, though: 14 panthers were killed by speeding cars in the first six months of last year alone.
To get to the Barefoot Beach Preserve, you have to request permission to go through the gated community along Barefoot Beach Road, near Bonita Springs -- a quirk that may explain why this low-key county park remains relatively uncrowded. The park rangers are particularly proud of the loggerhead sea turtles that live in the preserve -- but just as interesting are the gopher tortoises, whose deep burrows line the gravel road to the parking lot. Note the signs cautioning you to check behind your tires before you leave, lest you crunch a tortoise. www.colliergov.net/Index.aspx?page=455 or 1-239-591-8596.
Getting there: Everglades City is 130 kilometres west of Miami and 130 kilometres south of Fort Myers, and makes an easy day trip from anywhere in between.
Boat tours: Everglades National Park boat tours leave from the Gulf Coast Visitor Centre, a kilometre south of Everglades City. The two-hour, six-person tours of the interior cost $35 per person. See www.nps.gov/ever or call 1-239-695-3311.
Where to eat: For dinner, we headed another four kilometres farther south to the barrier island of Chokoloskee, to eat at the well-regarded Havana Café. The owner's husband is apparently a commercial fisherman -- which would explain why the grilled grouper special, served with black beans and rice for about $13, was so fresh.
Where to stay: If you're not within easy day-trip distance, the Ivey House Bed and Breakfast (www.iveyhouse.com) is rated the best place to stay in Everglades City both by the Rough Guide and by travellers at TripAdvisor.com. More listings can be found at www.visitflorida.com, the state's official travel-planning site. We rented a beach-front condo for $100 U.S. a night in Bonita Springs, halfway between Naples and Fort Myers, allowing us to save money by dining in. The condo we rented (which was in a building full of rental units) can be seen at www.enjoybonitabeach.com

No, I think it is better to let the memory come to you from the picture. That's the only way to really get it and sort of the whole point.
I agree with Prophet. Each image should speak for itself. If you don't recognize or remember a particular image, then it probably didn't make much of an impression on you. I recognize most of the images, but I would only put 5 of the ~60 posted so far on my own personal best TAR moments list.

Lessons to be learnt from Ireland's teenage entrepreneurs
From outsourcing to China, negotiating deals with global firms and securing patents, the country's youngest business leaders could teach everyone a thing or two about business and innovation

In today's economy, young people face an ultracompetitive jobs market, where many college graduates are unemployed, underemployed, or emigrating. As a result, no buzz word has given more hope to the latest crop of secondary school students than "entrepreneurship".
Entrepreneurship builds confidence, encourages creativity and teaches problem-solving skills, which will help young people when they enter the workforce. Those who want to get ahead are already launching their own businesses, companies which are capable of competing in the real world marketplace.
School mini companies are nothing new but easy access to a global marketplace is. It used to be a case where students would make cakes or bracelets or games and sell them to classmates as part of their mini company experience. Now, however, students are getting their products manufactured professionally, often in the UK and China. They have websites through which you can buy their product, they are exporting and negotiating deals with global firms, all before they can even drive.
These young entrepreneurs are ambitious, driven and focused. They can also teach us a few things about entrepreneurship and setting up a business.
Lack of funds shouldn't be an excuse
Meath teenager Emma McCabe hasn't let a lack of funds be an obstacle to developing her business – Sheep Watch. The 13-year-old student, who attends St Oliver's Post Primary School in Oldcastle, came up with the idea for the Sheep Watch electronic collar when talking to her dad about the problem of sheep worrying.
"The sheep wear a collar which has a pulse monitor. When the sheep are under attack or being chased by a dog their heart rate quickens. The monitor will alert the farmer by text to let him know his sheep are being attacked. It will also activate an ultra-sonic sounder, which only the dog can hear."
She says the collar can save the farmers from expensive veterinarian bills for treating injured sheep, as well as saving the lives of the sheep.
All a great idea, except Emma and her team didn't have the money to bring the product to market. They thus set up a Fund It campaign, and so far they have raised almost €6,000 from the public.
She says money received from the crowd-funding campaign will go towards the development of the Sheep Watch collar, which the team hopes to have on shelves by the end of 2014.
And they won't just be targeting the Irish market. The team has patented and trademarked the idea and has set up Sheep Watch website domain names in several countries.
Last week the team took home the junior category award at the Student Enterprise Awards for the innovative product.
Embrace technology
Ian Moloney had no clue how to make an app, but didn't let that get in the way of his idea for a mathematical one. The Coláiste Chiaráin pupil teamed up with four classmates who were A-grade maths students and set about developing the app.
"Ian found junior certificate maths very difficult and so came up with the idea for a maths app, which would allow you to learn at your own pace and in an interactive way," principal apps team member Fiona Hogan said. "We built the app from scratch. There was a lot of trial and error. We watched videos on how to make an app, read books and websites to find out how to do it," she added.
The Professor Maths app was launched at the end of March, with 300 downloads in the first week. Ian says its unique selling point is simple and easy to understand language. The app has five sections, the first being co-ordinate geometry, which is free to students. Each additional section including theorems and trigonometry will cost €1.99.
Solve your own problems
Wicklow student Joshua Dargan Hayes likes to be connected at all times. Whether it's surfing the net, playing games or talking to friends on social networking sites he likes to be online and on his smartphone or tablet. This proved problematic while on holidays in Italy last year.
"I spent every day on the beach and there was nowhere for me to charge my phone and no wifi. I went online to see if I could put some sort of solar-powered portable device for charging my devices and connecting a USB wifi dongle but found nothing."
The 14-year-old posed as a corporation when contacting manufacturers to make a prototype of his invention – a sun shade which uses solar energy to re-charge your smartphone/tablet at the beach. He contacted 80 manufacturers around the world, ultimately selecting a company in China after he was unable to get one in Ireland. "You can plug in your phone or tablet to charge them, or even a fan to keep you cool. You can also plug in a dongle if you want wifi. The sun shade has three USB ports so multiple devices can be plugged in."
He has already secured a 10-year patent for his product, to ensure no Irish firm can copy his idea.
Don't be afraid of the competition
Beauty enthusiast Niamh O'Donnell loved the make-up brushes made by US cosmetics firm Mac. However, her love of make-up was proving to be an expensive habit with each Mac brush costing between €30 and €40. While there were cheaper brushes on the market, she didn't feel they were the same quality as Mac. So she set about researching whether she could do her own high quality brush
es with the same materials as Mac for cheaper.
"All the make-up brushes like Mac were expensive and none of them are stylish. They are usually just plain black. I researched what components Mac use in their brushes, and then contacted manufacturers to see if they could make them for cheaper.
"I ultimately settled with a manufacturing company in China. While they weren't the cheapest, I had contacted another company they supply to and received a good review. I retail my brushes at €15 each for the larger ones or €30 for an entire set of brushes. I have sold several thousand through my website, to people in Ireland, the UK and Tunisia."
No goal is unattainable
Fifteen-year-old Jonathan White's parents didn't let him play video games despite his love for them. In fact, they only let him use the computer at weekends and on school holidays. They eventually conceded that if he wanted to play a video game, he'd have to make it himself. And so he did. The game – Recineration – has already had 26,000 downloads from the Google Play store.
"I love graphics and visual effects so put a lot of effort into designing them for the game. It took me a few months to make the game as I only had limited access to the computer. It's a 3D first person shooter game, and the aim is to kill zombies."
"I have introduced advertising and in-app purchases to make money. I didn't want to intrude on people's game play though, so there are no ads during the game. I have no distribution or manufacturing costs, so everything I make is 100 per cent profit."
He says greater importance should be placed on the teaching of graphics and visual effects to kids. "They are all learning to code and coding initiatives such as CoderDojo are great. But the visual look of a game or app is important too."

EMMITSBURG, Md. (September 16, 2005)- Senior Erin Ashton (New Bern, N.C.) scored two goals, including the game-winner in the 76th minute to lead ETSU past Mount St. Mary's 3-2 in nonconference women's soccer action on Friday.
Ashton handed the Buccaneers (3-3) the victory after the Mount (2-4-1) came back to knot the match at 2 when she found the twine at the 75:08 mark. Ashton, who is ETSU's leading scorer with four tallies, also posted a goal to start the second half.
Freshman Ashley Craig (Lakeland, Fla.) dished out the assist on the decisive goal while junior Emily Fulcher (New Bern, N.C.) handed the Buccaneers a 1-0 advantage in the second minute of the match. Sophomore Kelli Devine tallied two goals in the game for Mount.
After ETSU saw its two-goal advantage disappear, the Buccaneers turned to their leading scorer and she found the back of the net late in the second half to lead ETSU to the win in the first meeting between the two programs.
"Today was a team that showed heart and determination to battle through and get the victory,' said head women's soccer coach Heather Henson. "We had some seniors that stepped up and played a real good game."
Craig served the ball in on a corner kick from the left before Ashton headed the game-winner into the top netting with 14:52 remaining.
Fulcher got the Buccaneers off to the fast start when she lofted a shot from the top left of the penalty box that found the top of the right corner 1:05 into the match.
Ashton then increased the Buccaneers margin to two goals when she scored off a Rachel Layer helper at 47:55. Mount St. Mary's then capitalized on a foul in the penalty box 23 seconds later. Devine punched the free kick into the right netting to cut the margin to 2-1. The sophomore tied the contest at 2 when she scored off a Doyle assist at the 59:28 mark.
Freshman Erin Bilyeu (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) made four saves in the winning effort for the Buccaneers.
ETSU is on the road again on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. against George Mason University.

I can't remember the last time I went to a production meeting in the Southwest that someone didn't talk about water—or, more precisely, the lack of it.
Come summer, I will have been a resident of the Southwest, well, Texas, with occasional forays into surrounding Southwest states, for 14 years. In a rare few of those years, the area had adequate, and in even rarer instances—maybe once—an abundance of precipitation.
As I recall, the last time the Beltwide Cotton Conferences met in Texas we were in the midst of a long-term drought. I didn't look that up or anything but chances are pretty good that at any given time over the past 15 years Texas was going into, coming out of or dead in the middle of a drought. So there's better than a fifty-fifty chance that the last time cotton folk came to Texas for their annual get-together, it was dry. They met here again this year. It was dry.
Water has become a critical issue for Texans. But I am happy to report that our legislators are hard at work looking for solutions to the problem.
It was widely reported, for instance, that the reason Texas A&M switched allegiances and now competes—quite well I might add—in the Southeastern Conference, was to get more exposure for its athletic programs and fine athletes.
That has worked out pretty well, I'd say. But that's really not why the Aggies jumped conference.
It's all about the water.
You see, every time the A&M football team travels out of state to places like Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama and Arkansas, each player, coach, manger, cheerleader, mascot, band member and fan will be required to bring back a bottle of water. Five or six away games a year and that begins to add up.
And when competing teams come into College Station from those other states, they all have to bring water.
Add receipts from basketball (men and women), baseball, softball, track and field, soccer, field hockey, volleyball and every other sport the Aggies play and the haul can be significant.
We're going to need it. Projections indicate that within 40 years or so—by which time I'll be 103—the state population will double. We won't have enough water to provide that many baths, flush that many toilets and cut that many shots of good whiskey.
But we know Texas will grow. And we welcome that growth. But we are going to insist that anyone who moves into the state bring his own water. And no one can leave without recycling any water they might have used. Tourists, business travelers and those who just got lost on their way to Arkansas, can consume all the water they want while in the state, provided they brought in an equal amount when they crossed the state line.
In the meantime, the Texas Legislature will take a serious look at water issues this session. They and water experts understand what's at stake, and they understand what's necessary. Assuring that future generations of Texans have adequate water for home, farm, industry, and recreation requires that today's legislators look hard at all aspects of water—conservation, new resources, and improving current delivery systems to increase efficiency. Most agree on those basic principles.
But here's the tricky part. Improving the water supply of a state that, in the best of years, receives limited rainfall will be costly. I don't envy elected officials the job of figuring out how to do that.
The Aggies may need to play a lot more away games to meet demand.

Although Porsche design moves forward at glacial speed, it's universally accepted that the newest 991 version of the iconic 911 is one of the best to date. Its rounded muscularity doesn't need to win new fans but it's certainly won the approval of existing buyers.
Among them is Eric Nareshni, owner of Supreme Power Parts and a pillar of the Southern California tuning scene. Not only does he assist with many of our project car installations, utilizing his full workshop facilities, but he built or was involved in countless feature cars, from GTIs to BMWs and Audis, that previously appeared in eurotuner magazine.
As a business, SPP stepped up to the big league a few years ago, working on high-end sports cars, such as the Porsche 911 Turbo on last month's cover (EC 4/13), while remaining true to its sport compact roots. Eric's personal cars have followed suit, progressing from 3 Series and A4 to his current Porsche 911.
His beginnings were humble enough, originally working at AMS in Los Angeles before stepping away to help his father run Supreme Power, the family electrical business. As things settled down at home, Eric's automotive passion saw him selling and fitting parts from the family's Placentia, CA warehouse, keeping the same name but evolving to Supreme Power Parts in 2000.
Working out of just 800sqft originally, SPP has since expanded to 8000sqft as the electrical business wound down. He's also begun manufacturing his own product lines that will launch this year.
One of Nareshni's strongest relationships is with Peter Nam at Vorsteiner. The pair has known each other since Vorsteiner's founding and Eric consulted with Peter even before he bought the car. "I talked to Peter about the new 911 and we both decided it was the ideal candidate for his treatment," he told us.
The decision to finally purchase the car was spontaneous. He was at the local Porsche dealer collecting parts for a customer's car when he decided to sign the paperwork. Trading his Range Rover from photos on his phone, Eric left that night in the Carrera White Porsche and delivered it to Vorsteiner, where it would be used to prototype the first body kit.
In the meantime, Eric bought parts such as an H&R spring kit and the BBS Motorsport E88 wheels. The latter were 19x9.5" front and 11" rear but he later bought new inner barrels and centers to rebuild the rear wheels to 11.5" wide with a different offset, allowing the close fitment seen here.
"I always dreamed of my own 911 with BBS Cup wheels. It took 30 years but the car hasn't changed much in that time so the dream remained alive," he told us.
Vorsteiner's work led to the pre-preg carbon fiber V-GT aero kit you see here. It includes the V-GT front spoiler with splitter, side skirts, rear diffuser and rear wing. The body kit costs a hefty $10k but Eric wasn't afraid to paint over it. "We looked at painting everything white," Eric explained, "but it seemed to flow better with part of the front splitter, side skirts and rear diffuser left in carbon. And the quality is so good it was a shame to cover it all."
One of the most expensive parts is the rear diffuser, which wraps around Akrapovic tailpipes but also extends under the car to clean up the airflow and aid the aerodynamic efficiency. It's reaches further than the original factory part but mounts easily.
The titanium exhaust was a relatively new addition that cost $9400 and is claimed to increase output by 18hp/28 lb-ft while reducing weight by 20 lb. It uses two-side and two center mufflers to replace the stock system after the factory cats. It's also valved (like the Porsche exhaust) so you can alter the sound by flipping a switch in the cabin.
Originally, Eric had muffler delete pipes from BBi Autosport, with whom he helped build the widebody 911 from last month's issue. The company constructed pipes that enabled the two side mufflers to be removed, allowing the engine to breathe and sound better.
The Porsche specialists also fabricated the bolt-in rear rollcage, painting it the same Carrera White in the process. "The BBi cage gets a lot of attention," Eric confirmed. "People want to know who does that to a new car, but it really changed how it looks and drives."
In case you didn't spot the rollcage, the Recaro SPG seats and six-point Schroth harnesses should grab your attention. Supplied by distributor Griffin Motorwerke, they also provided aluminum side mounts to fit them.
While the BBS wheels created the motorsport theme; the carbon fiber parts, rollcage and seats supported it. So inevitably, the 991 would also need big brakes to tie it all together. Teaming up with Brembo, Eric fitted the $8k Gran Turismo kit with 380mm drilled rotors all round, but six-piston calipers up front and four- in the rear.
By now, you might be thinking Eric's car looks familiar. Well, its popped up in different places and different guises, appearing in the Pirelli Tires booth at SEMA but with the stock wheels in place. It was used to highlight the OE fitments offered by the tire maker, so aftermarket wheels weren't needed but it still wears wide Pirelli P Zero Trofeo tires in its current configuration.
However, the same car has also appeared in Vorsteiner promotional material sporting 21x9" front and 21x11" rear forged Vorsteiner VS110 wheels in both a silver and gunmetal finish. And while the VS110 is a stunning design, Eric loves his BBS, preferring the smaller 19" diameter.
Supreme Power Parts is also planning to introduce a new range of race-inspired wheels this year. Offered in 19 and 20" sizes, unfortunately the forgings weren't available in time for our photo shoot. However, Eric predicts it won't be long before the Carrera S is sold and a 4S occupies its place in the SPP workshop...

UK just fired Joker Phillips (HC) today. While I don't follow college football I know that UK Football has been a joke for awhile. I was reading the article about the firing today and came across this comment and reply:
1."Let's get Bill Cowher on the line!"
2. "I hope someone outside of Lexington calls. He won't answer any phone call from the Lexington area code."
Obviously there is some extreme wishful thinking going on here, but I hadn't heard of Cowher being interested in coaching again at all, much less college. Has anyone heard anything about Cowher lately?
No matter how far out of left field it is, the thought of Cowher coming in to revamp the football team and combining to make a Calipari/Cowher HC combo is pretty awesome. I can dream, can't I?

By: PR Newswire
Nov. 3, 2012 01:00 AM
TOKYO, Nov. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Toyota Motor Sales & Marketing Corporation (TMSM) is currently exhibiting at the Japan Expo Belgium (http://www.japan-expo.be/) in Brussels, where it is showing "PES (Peace Eco Smile)," an animation made in collaboration with STUDIO4C to represent an attraction of Japanimation and the realistic world of PES.

Further, TMSM has also announced its participation in the Anime Festival Asia (AFA) 2012 in Singapore from November 10. Through these international exhibitions, TOYOTA will transmit the incredible spirit of Japan, and the new values and unique creativity of a Japanese corporation that is also fully global. It aims to enhance the Japanese content industry by proactively supporting younger designers, artists and Japanese studios and introducing them to the rest of the world.
At the PES booth in the Japan Expo Belgium, NaSuBi Throwing Game events have been the cause of great excitement with visitors. Other exhibited features include all the episodes of PES and displays of related merchandise, and also a trailer played on the main Japan Expo stage.
In addition to introducing Japanimation, TOYOTA has collaborated with Discover Japan (http://www.sideriver.com/discoverjapan/), the magazine that promotes the re-discovery of Japanese culture, and exhibits original drink tumblers (created by Loufas Life Design Systems), born out of the concepts of regeneration and chance encounters through the aesthetic and design that is overflowing in Japanese culture's innate values and allure.
We will then move onto Singapore on November 10 and 11 for AFA (http://www.animefestival.asia/afa12/), where its exhibition will include screenings of PES in full and appearances by the character, Su.
The exhibits will also feature the iPhone app Backseat Driver, the first project for ToyToyota and made in collaboration with creative unit PARTY to bring fun to car mobility, as well as FT-86 World Report (created by DNP + Jetman), an app which lets a Toyota 86 car appear in photographs take with your phone.
TMSM is hoping these exhibitions will become sites for dispatching the new creativity brought about through collaborations with young talent, and for people to experience its wonders.

It's been a banner week for information about nanomaterials regulation. As I noted yesterday, the US General Accountability Office has just released its report titled Nanotechnology: Nanomaterials Are Widely Used in Commerce, but EPA Faces Challenges in Regulating Risk. Hats off to the authors: Anu Mittal, lead author, and Elizabeth Erdmann, David Bennett, Antoinette Capaccio, Nancy Crothers, Cindy Gilbert, Gary Guggolz, Nicole Harkin, Kim Raheb, and Hai Tran.
In discussing some of the oversight and regulatory issues associated with nanotechnology and other emerging technologies they had this to say (from the report),
Nanotechnology is an example of a fast-paced technology that poses challenges to agencies' policy development and foresight efforts. We have conducted past work looking at the challenges of exercising foresight when addressing potentially significant but somewhat uncertain trends,5 including technology-based trends that proceed at a high "clockspeed," that is, a (1) faster pace than trends an agency has dealt with previously or (2) quantitative rate of change that is either exponential or exhibits a pattern of doubling or tripling within 3 or 4 years, possibly on a repeated basis.6 As our prior work has noted, when an agency responsible for ensuring safety faces a set of potentially significant high-clockspeed technology-based trends, it may successfully exercise foresight by carrying out activities such as
• considering what is known about the safety impact of the trend and deciding how to respond to it;
• reducing uncertainty as needed by developing additional evidence about the safety of the trend; and
• communicating with Congress and others about the trends, agency responses, and policy implications.
Similarly, our 21st Century Challenges report raised concern about whether federal agencies are poised to address fast-paced technology-based challenges. [GAO, 21st Century Challenges: Reexamining the Base of the Federal Government, GAO-05-325SP (Washington, D.C.: February 2005)] Other foresight literature illustrates the potential future consequences of falling behind a damaging trend that could be countered by early action. These analyses suggest that unless agencies and Congress can stay abreast of technological changes, such as nanotechnology, they may find themselves "in a constant catch-up position and lose the capacity to shape outcomes." (p.7/8 print version, p. 11/2 PDF)
(Seems to me the Canadian government could also do with some thoughtful consideration of fast-changing technologies and the challenges they pose to the institutional oversight mechanisms currently in place.)
The report goes on to describe various nano-enabled product categories in various industry sectors. It's an overview that includes products (e.g. nano-enabled cell phones) currently or soon-to-be on the market. I was particularly taken with an image of a cell phone that tagged parts already nano-enabled (on some models) along with parts that may, in the future, become nano-enabled (p. 14 print version or p. 18 PDF).
The toxicity roundup is one of the best presentations I've seen. For example,
- Size. Research assessing the role of particle size on toxicity has generally found that some nanoscale (<100 nanometers) particles are more toxic and can cause more inflammation than conventionally scaled particles of the same composition. Specifically, some research indicates that the toxicity of certain nanomaterials, such as some forms of carbon nanotubes and nanoscale titanium dioxide, may pose a risk to human health because these materials, as a result of their small size, may be able to penetrate cell walls, causing cell inflammation and potentially leading to certain diseases. For example, the small size of these nanomaterials may allow them to penetrate deeper into lung tissue, potentially causing more damage, according to some of the studies we reviewed. In addition, some nanomaterials may disperse differently into the environment than conventionally scaled materials of the same composition because of their size. However, according to EPA, the small particle size may also cause the nanomaterials to agglomerate, which may make it more difficult for them to penetrate deep lung tissue. (pp. 23/4 print version, pp. 27/8 PDF)
This a much more measured but still cautious approach to the toxicology issues as they relate to size and this approach is maintained throughout.
There's more than one way to be exposed,
In addition to toxicity, the risk that nanomaterials pose to humans and the environment is also affected by the route and extent of exposure to such materials. Nanomaterials can enter the human body through three primary routes: inhalation, ingestion, and dermal penetration. (p. 25 print version, p. 29 PDF)
They also make the distinction between exposure as a consequence of consuming products and exposure due to occupation.
Moving on from toxicity, their section on the international scene wowed me because this is the only report I've seen which notes that Canada's nanomaterials inventory has yet to occur.
One thing I hadn't realized was how similar Environment Canada's and the US Environmental Protection Agency's approach to nanomaterials has been. From my April 2, 2010 posting,
Here's what Environment Canada has to say about nanomaterials (the information on this page is dated from 2007 …) NOTE: The page originally cited is no longer available, go to this page,
The Domestic Substances List (DSL) is the sole basis for determining whether a substance is new. Any chemical or polymer not listed on the DSL is considered to be new to Canada and is subject to the notification requirements under the Regulations. Substances listed on the DSL do not require notification1 in advance of manufacture in or import into Canada.
The Act and the Regulations apply to new nanomaterials just as any other substance, whether a chemical or a polymer.
Substances listed on the DSL whose nanoscale forms do not have unique structures or molecular arrangements are considered existing. Existing nanomaterials are not subject to the Regulations and do not require notification. For example, titanium dioxide [emphasis mine] (CAS No. 13463-67-7) is listed on the DSL and since its nanoscale form does not have unique structures or molecular arrangements, it is not subject to the Regulations.
In its 2008 document, EPA stated that a nanomaterial is a new chemical for purposes of regulation under TSCA only if it does not have the same "molecular identity" as a chemical already on the inventory. Under TSCA, a chemical is defined in terms of its particular molecular identity.
Thus, because titanium dioxide is already listed on the TSCA inventory, nanoscale versions of titanium dioxide, which have the same molecular formula, would not be considered a new chemical under TSCA, despite having a different size or shape, different physical and chemical properties, and potentially different risks. [emphasis mine] (p. 34 print version, p. 38 PDF)
I gather the EPA adopted the strategy one year after Environment Canada. Given how often the various jurisdictions copy each other's approaches, I wonder which country (or possibly a jurisdiction such as the European Commission) actually set this strategy.
The report offers an excellent summary of Canada's current regulatory approach and plans. I've reproduced the passage in full here,
Canadian officials have proposed but have not implemented a one-time requirement for companies to provide information on nanomaterials produced in or imported into Canada. Canadian importers and manufacturers would be required to report their use of nanomaterials produced or imported in excess of 1 kilogram. In 2009, Canadian officials reported to the OECD that information required would include chemical and trade name; molecular formula; and any available information on the shape, size range, structure, quantity imported or manufactured, and known or predicted uses. Also required would be any available information on the nanomaterial's physical and chemical properties—such as solubility in water and toxicological data, among others. Under the proposal, companies could claim information as confidential, but regulators would publish a summary of information provided. Canada plans to use this information to help develop a regulatory framework for nanomaterials and to determine which information requirements would be useful for subsequent risk assessments. Canadian officials stated they originally hoped to issue this requirement in the spring of 2009 but could not predict when it would be implemented.
With regard to current law, a report prepared for the government of Canada in 2008 stated that Canada has no specific requirements for nanomaterials and is considering whether they are needed. However, Health Canada and Environment Canada—two agencies responsible for health and the environment—have taken the first steps in recognizing the potentially unique aspects of nanomaterials. These regulatory agencies are currently relying on existing authority delegated to them through legislation, such as the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, to address nanomaterials. Specifically, in June 2007, Environment Canada released a new substances program advisory announcing that nanomaterials will be regulated under the act's new substances notification regulations. Per this advisory, any nanomaterial not listed on Canada's chemical inventory—the Domestic Substances List—or with "unique structures or molecular arrangements" compared to their non-nano counterparts, requires a risk assessment. A review panel of the Canadian Academies found that, while it is not necessary to create new regulatory mechanisms to address the unique challenges presented by nanomaterials, the existing regulatory mechanisms could and should be strengthened in a variety of ways, such as by creating a specific classification for nanomaterials and by reviewing the regulatory triggers that prompt review of the health and environmental effects. (pp. 45/6 print version, pp. 49/50 PDF)
As far as I'm aware, there are no comparable summaries available in Canadian reports available to the public. No doubt there are nits to be picked but all I can say is thank you for giving me the most comprehensive and succinct overview I've seen yet of the emerging Canadian regulatory framework for nanomaterials.
For interested parties, there is some additional information about Health Canada's public consultation on their interim definition of nanomaterials in my April 28, 2010 posting.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Oct. 10, 2005) - During Monday's Atlantic Sun Conference Men's Basketball Media Day hosted by the Carnegie Hotel, the ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics announced that General Shale Brick has agreed to become the name sponsor for the 2006 Atlantic Sun Conference Men's Basketball Championships.
"We are so proud that a company like General Shale Brick, with its outstanding reputation, has agreed to act as the name sponsor for the tournament," said ETSU Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Dave Mullins. "Their sponsorship of this championship will help us make this a truly exciting event for ETSU fans, as well as all fans of A-Sun basketball."
The 2006 General Shale Brick Atlantic Sun Conference Men's Basketball Championships will be played March 2-4 inside ETSU's
Dick Green, president and CEO for General Shale Brick, said the sponsorship made sense for many reasons.
"This is our way of supporting the ETSU basketball program, the university, the community, and our new conference," Green said. "We have some great basketball fans in the region and they will be able to see some high quality basketball teams from the Southeast right here in
Green said the sponsorship made sense for General Shale Brick, considering the Southeastern footprint of the company.
"General Shale Brick markets our products throughout the Atlantic Sun Conference area and we'd like to thank our past, present and future customers for their business," he said. "We're excited about the future of ETSU basketball and the Atlantic Sun Conference."
Along with Monday's announcement, the day included coach and sports information director meetings, media interviews with the coaches from all 11 A-Sun Conference schools, as well as a luncheon for representatives of the many committees that are planning the tournament.

Longbourn, by Jo BakerThursday, 16 January 2014
My Christmas pile always brings much reading. Here it is:
First off the pile, so fast I'd read three chapters by Christmas lunchtime, was Longbourn by Jo Baker. This tells the story of Pride and Prejudice from the perspective of Sarah, the head housemaid.
Except, wonderfully, it doesn't. This tells the story of Sarah, and of her romances and follies, and the mistakes others make around her. That she happens to be a maid at Longbourn and subject to the whims and fancies of the Bennett girls is merely her lot in life.
Baker doesn't attempt to copy Austen's style, which made me instantly delighted. Her protagonists are different people, with a different way of speaking and thinking, so Sarah's voice is – as it should be – totally different. The novel reminded me of both Wide Sargasso Sea, with its inversion of authorial focus, and the work of Sarah Waters, in the voice the author takes.
Of course, it helps if you know Pride and Prejudice. Unlike Death Comes to Pemberley, none of Austen's characters are twisted to fit the narrative. Instead we get a different side to them. Mr Bennett loses some of the sympathy he normally gets, and Mrs Bennett gains some. Darcy becomes a force of nature and Wickham, well, none of the servants trust him.
Structurally, it's split into three volumes, echoing the structure of early novels. I did feel the third volume, which goes into flashbacks by multiple characters, started rather more weakly than the other two but the narrative drive returns when we return to Sarah's perspective.
This is a novel about choices, or lack of them. About making the best of your lot in life, or of throwing aside the rules. Of risking everything for romantic ideas rather or securing your future. It's the perfect reflection of Austen's novel and I recommend it.
