This is my first post as the help on the Microchip Forum is shocking.
I am trying to get the MFi demo 'Minimum Accessory' firmware compiling for the PIC24F but it is proving very hard to say the least. I want to create an iPhone Accessory that is powered by the iPhone and communicates using the iAP2 protocol. The minimum demo I want is to send/receive data to get some led's flashing for now.
I am using MPLAB X v4.15 and after installing the MLA libraries the firmware directory is...
C:\Microchip Solutions v4.00\MFi Demos\Minimal Accessory\Firmware
I think this is to do with the pre-compiled libraries (-elf.a). All of the files can be found but there was significant alterations to some files.
Has anyone managed to get any of these MFi demos compiled.
Thank you in advance.

Socialite Says "I Do" to Over-the Top Wedding
Move aside, Kate Middleton. Eat your heart out, Kim Kardashian. British socialite Petra Ecclestone has you both beat when it comes to over-the-top weddings. The Formula One heiress reportedly dropped an estimated $5 million to $7 million on her big day to wed businessman James Stunt in a three-day extravaganza in Rome.
Buzz on the Web was certainly big: Lookups on the extravagant bride increased 389% in just one day.
Still, the blonde heiress seems to be aware that she is blessed with good fortune, as it were. She told ABC, "I'm not spoiled, I'm privileged, and I think there's a huge difference in that."
The 22-year-old certainly knows how to live the good life: She is the daughter of billionaire Formula One CEOBernie Ecclestone, who's thought to be footing the bill, and former Armani model Slavica Radic. The celebutante is also a fashion designer who, according to People, will release her line of Starks handbags in the fall.
The daughter of privilege had quite an expense list for her nuptials: The celebration took place at a 15th-century castle, Castello Orsini-Odescalchi, where Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes tied the knot back in 2006 -- and which reportedly cost $500,000 to rent.
The bride left her hotel for the ceremony in a Rolls-Royce Phantom, then switched cars to join her father in his vintage white Rolls-Royce for her entrance. Guests were greeted by an 18-piece string section from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and treated to a 40-minute concert -- at a cost of more than $160,000.
The model and designer wore a $130,000 custom Vera Wang gown, complete with diamond tiara and earrings. Andrea Bocelli serenaded the couple after the two exchanged vows.
After the ceremony, guests enjoyed entertainment by the Black Eyed Peas and family friend Eric Clapton, and were served $6,500-a-bottle wine. Fireworks and an acrobatics display capped the evening. At a dinner the night before the wedding, guests feasted on caviar and Cristal and enjoyed a performance by Alicia Keys.
The guest list included princesses Beatrice and Eugenie; their mother, Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York; and Paris and Nicky Hilton.
The couple's spending didn't stop at the wedding: The pair will move into Aaron and Candy Spelling's $85 million manse (purchased with cash), the largest residence in Los Angeles, natch.
So what do you buy the couple who clearly have everything? Luckily, they thought of that, too: Guests were asked to give to charity in lieu of gifts.

The White King is Alex Helfrecht and Jörg Tittel's feature directorial debut, a bold adaptation of György Dragomán's novel. A coming of age story of a young boy who sees his father imprisoned, the narrative follows the protagonist as he and his mother are labelled as traitors; his youthful innocence contrasts sharply with the viciousness of adult malice and oppression.
The boy's youthful spirit sharpens the blade of totalitarian oppression as the film offers a striking portrait of a dystopian nation and its dictatorship. Yet more simple than that, it is in the words of Helfrecht: "A portrait of a child's view of a regime." The innocent point of view of its twelve-year-old Djata is not a mere creative choice, rather it is in fact central to their aspiration to instil the spirit of the book within the film.
Helfrecht and Tittel's short Battle for Britain previously played at the Aesthetica Short Film Festival 2011, which coincidentally strikes up imagery of a past battle against the forces of totalitarianism that connects the two films. Ahead of the UK theatrical release of The White King, the writer-directors joined Aestheica in conversation to reflect on the process of adaptation, and the relationship between the literary and filmic languages.
ASFF: I have heard it said that a film adaptation is required to live separately of the book in order to tell its own version of the story, whilst finding a way to bring something to the source material. Having made this film, how do you view the process of adaptation?
AH: Well that's the area that I'm particularly interested in and I've done adaptation on stage. I'm always interested in books and I think you have to be bold and brave, and as you said, shouldn't be slavishly transliterating the novel. You have to have a strong take on the material, but you have to honour the spirit. So when I did the Hemingway adaptation, for me it was all about my relationship with the author. I felt so strongly that I had this relationship to him, and it's that, having a take.
With The White King, people are quite literal and they all said about the book that he's obviously talking about Romania – he grew up in Transylvania that was part of Romania back then, and he moved to Budapest when he was seventeen. When I read it I felt it could happen anywhere. He had such a distinctive, surreal and universal quality to his writing, and he himself said to Jörg and me, "It's not necessarily Romania." Obviously there are iron curtain references there, but it's actually very loose, much looser than a lot of people assume. We said, "Well look, we want to do something kind of crazy. We want to set it in the future and we want to change quite a few things. We want to really develop the mother and the family characters, and much more."
He loved that we were going to make quite bold choices and he loved that our goal was to do a more Orwellian approach. I think the function of any dystopian novel or piece of fiction is to hold a mirror to where we are today, and so that's why we didn't want to set it in Romania or Transylvania during communism. Although we do understand a lot about communism because Jörg's mother fled the Soviet regime in Poland in 1968.
JT: My mother wrote the score for the film and she writes the music for most of Agnès Varda's films, like Vagabond and The Gleaners and I, and other beautiful ones.
AH: As well as operas and symphonic music – she's a pretty amazing composer. Yes, there is a lot of understanding of that in our family. But we wanted to make something new and I think that's really important. We tried to honour the essential qualities of the strange mixture of naivety and knowing of the boy.
JT: Also the idea that if we had made a film that was purely historical and foreign, then it would feel like: "okay this happened in the past in a foreign land, it doesn't affect me – poor Romanians or poor Hungarians… Oh well." If we had set it in America today then people would say, "Well that's nonsense, that will never happen." So we created a country in the future because we felt whether you are watching this in Europe, in Asia or in Africa you could say, "What if this were to indeed happen again, here somewhere?"
AH: Dragomán has said he was very touched that his book was translated into 28 languages. One of the most moving responses we had was in Edinburgh at the World Premiere from a young guy in the audience. He was from Uganda and he said: "Oh my God this is what my childhood felt like." We met him afterwards and he's a filmmaker, but it was an extraordinary response because again of the fact that the source material has that universal effect. The film is a portrait of a child's view of a regime. There are regimes everywhere and they have happened at all points of history, and the present and the future. The very unique thing about the book, which I think is special in the film too is that it's a child's view, and so therefore it can happen anywhere.
ASFF: To pick up on your point about the child's view, whilst literature allows you inside the mind of the character, offering an internal point of view, film is external. Adapting the Gil to the screen surely must have offered you both an intimate encounter with the contrasting points between literary and film language. What has the experience taught you about the relationship between the two?
AH: I think books are authorial and they can dip in and out of what a character is feeling, as well as free flow continuum. One of the things in The White King is that the voice of the boy is really quite extraordinary. You'd read that and think, "oh it's definitely a case for voiceover." But I am quite skeptical of voiceover unless it's used in comedy or its used ironically, to show the difference between what you are actually seeing and what the character assumes you are seeing. It was very, very tempting and a lot of people said: "Are you sure you don't want to do a voiceover?" One of the things I felt we shouldn't have was a voiceover. I wanted to see if we could have this inner life of the boy coming out through his eyes and through his behaviour. We wanted to keep our camera on the boy because that was the truest thing that I could think of to be true to the voice in the novel. I am not sure that you can always have both, I think you have to choose.
JT: What's interesting is the fact that you have to make choices that the reader will make for him or herself when reading a book, and that is the process of adaptation as well. We are indeed taking you closer to an interpretation and we are taking some of the interpretative faculty away from you, because strangely film is a more literal medium than books, even though books only have words in them. They don't give you the pictures and therefore they allow you to create whatever world you want to project on top of those words. So yeah, it is very interesting and a strange dilemma. It's like how much interpretation do I leave to the audience as well, and it's a crazy balancing act.

The White King is released digitally and theatrically Friday 27 January, followed by a DVD release on Monday 30 January.

Apple's Reminders app for iOS is super handy. It is even handier when you use Siri to add items to the Reminders by voice. All it takes is the keyword "Add." So, Kate (this is for my sister Kate who recently joined the iPhone Club), you press and hold your iPhone's Home button, wait for Siri's microphone to pop up, and then say something like…
"Add Gatorade to my Groceries list"
and Siri does the rest.
Of course you have to actually have a Groceries list (which you make in Reminders by tapping "Create New List…"). It works with other things too, not just Groceries, and not just Gatorade. I want to make that clear. Just remember to start your request with the word "Add."
Anyhow, if you go into Reminders, make a few lists, and then let Siri do the rest you are going to be one organized person.
Most people write stuff down so they don't forget things. Totally wrong. The point of writing stuff down is to ALLOW you to forget, because knowing that these little things are written down somewhere means you can stop clogging up your mind trying to remember them, and therefore have brain capacity for doing other, bigger, things.
Naturally if you're an iCloud member, and you have an iPad, or a Mac with Mountain Lion (10.8), the reminders you make on your iPhone will show up on your iPad and/or Mac. That's pretty cool too.

Tried it out in my Glockenstein 22 yesterday and it is very accurate, has mild recoil, and empties land 3-5 feet away. The chronograph data indicates it is on par with the .44 Special, should put the smack down on anything in the Bluegrass within pistol range.

Metrography - London Re-shaped & Visualised as The Tube Map
You've seen a lot of Tube Maps which attempt to show what they should look like if geographically accurate. However, students Benedikt Groß and Bertrand Clerc, from Royal College of Art in Kensington, have turned this on its head somewhat. They believe that Londoners now have the Tube Map ingrained in their heads so much that we actually think London looks like the London Underground map. Benedikt said "We're visualising the imaginary, mental map Tube users have of London." As we know Harry Beck's Tube map for many is "more useful than the actual geography."
Geography vs London Tube Map - Benedikt Groß and Bertrand Clerc
He continued "Similar to the process of my MapMap Vauxhall project, all real world geographical locations of stations, railway tracks and Thames riverbanks have been matched with the corresponding positions on the London Tube Map. In the image above this process is demonstrated, you can see the mapping of the River Thames, Victoria Line and stations." The black dots are from the Tube map - the red dots are the real locations.
In a project called Metrography, they have taken 1,865,565 data points from OpenStreetMap & merged them with TfL's Tube map. The latitude and longitude of each point is then recalculated, keeping the positions of the Thames and stations as fixed references to produce a rather beautiful map below
Metrography - topology of London reshaped according to the Tube Map - Benedikt Groß and Bertrand Clerc
Metrography wasn't designed for navigation, but Benedikt and Betrand think that maps like this could become popular. "In future an accurate map might be less
important than an abstract map," says Bertrand. "And maybe we've
started that process." Hat tip to Wired who published this in their May 2012 issue.
What do you think? Is the quest to find or design a geographically accurate Tube Map actually quite redundant and pointless now? If so many of us see London as the Tube Map, would a geographically accurate one be more of a hindrance than a help? Or should the real Tube Map make more efforts to show that distances that look far away from each other are actually quite close? Is this something that could encourage more of us to walk between stations (probably quite useful given the levels of Tube overcrowding predicted for the Olympic Games)?

This week's tip is about protecting your skin & cuticles during nail polish removal. It's super easy, only takes a minute, and makes a huge difference!
Acetone and acetone based nail polish removers are great for getting your polish off but can wreak havoc on your skin and cuticles - especially if you change your polish often. Before you begin to remove your polish follow these two easy steps...
♥ Step one - moisturize! Apply a rich cream to any skin that could be exposed to the nail polish remover. Don't forget the pads of your fingers and the skin along the sides of your nails. You can use your favorite cream but my favorite is Egyptian Magic. It's incredibly moisturizing, has an endless list of different uses, and it really does work like magic!
♥ Step two - apply cuticle oil to your cuticles, the skin just beneath your cuticles, and the skin along the sides of your nails. This gives some extra protection to the areas which are definitely going to come in contact with nail polish remover. Using the brush that comes with your cuticle oil makes this fast and easy!
*A quick edit/note - my friend Alexandrarc just reminded me that it can be tricky to open bottles when your fingers are slippery from moisturizers. My solution: I keep a paper towel nearby and use it to help me open bottles if my fingers are too slippery. <3

ramskill martin is able to provide a number of services utilising programming and scheduling computer software. We are able to provide a number of services relevant to all aspects of the construction process. These services may be used for promoting a negotiated settlement or in pursuit of a formal process.
Pre Tender Programming
At the very inception of any contract it is important for the client to know not only how much their project will cost but also when it will be completed. Using our experience in construction we can provide not only the cost impact of various options regarding construction techniques but also the time impact and assess the overall value of any decision.
Pre Contract Programming
Prior to contract award it is important that the Contractor/sub Contractor has prepared a programme of works and ideally this should identify the critical path so that the risk can be assessed and enable the Contractor/sub Contractor to allow for the risk in its price.
Progress Reporting/Progress Assessment
It is becoming far more common that the Contractor/sub Contractor is required by its contract to prepare a critical path programme and to prepare a report against this programme on a monthly basis. It is also true that even if not required by the contract it is often prudent to do so. ramskill martin has provided this service to a number of its clients and all have found it of great use. This service then enables the client to be aware of delays far earlier than was previously the case and ensures that extension of time claims are produced earlier and the success rate at an early stage of the delay becoming apparent is greater than retrospective extension of time claims.
This is not a confrontational approach and many contracting organisations find the submission of progress reports beneficial to the overall management of a project. If there are objections by the other party to the submission of progress report the reports can be prepared and used to your benefit in a claim for an extension of time if so required in the future.
Extension of Time Application
Once a project is in delay it is very important that the causes for the delay are established and culpability for the delay apportioned. If the programme has not been monitored during the progress of the contract and the critical path programme is not updated or even prepared it is often necessary to prepare an extension of time claim document after the event occurs.
ramskill martin is able to identify the programme of works critical path and schedule the whole programme including all resource and process links. Once prepared it is necessary to identify the events which caused or appeared to cause the delay. Then it is important to ascertain whether the event entitles the contracted party to claim for an extension of time. This allows the analyst to concentrate on events which will allow the claim for an extension of time. Once the events are identified the delay analysis begins. The impact of each event is assessed and this impact is then identified on the critical path programme.
Once this process is complete ramskill martin can assist or independently prepare the claim for extension of time document and will also assist in any discussion and negotiation that may follow the submission of the claim document.
Delay Analysis
This service is often associated with the claim for an extension of time. It is also common that whilst the overall project is completed within the contract period losses have occurred due to delays to certain programmed tasks. The techniques and analysis prepared is similar to that employed in claiming for extension of time.
The aim is to prepare a detailed and compelling claim that is robust enough to stand up to the scrutiny of the opposition.

The DEA's August 11, 2016 decision not to remove marijuana from Schedule 1 of the Controlled Substances Act will affect different players in different ways. The DEA Drug Schedule web page states: "Schedule I drugs, substances, or chemicals are defined as drugs with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse."
Who are the different players in the new marijuana industry?
The DEA's decision affects growers, dispensaries, extraction companies, patients and other consumers, all those employed by the new industry, and the states whose economies have been positively impacted by the sale of marijuana products.
In addition, big business is watching and waiting for an opening to be a player. California's legal market for cannabis, currently at $2.7 billion, is predicted to grow to a $6.4 billion market by 2020, when including both medical and adult use markets. Markets will increase even more as users who are now buying illegally switch to legal purchases.
Growers and Dispensaries
The longer the DEA holds off on making the decision to reschedule marijuana, the more marijuana growers will benefit. They will enjoy a market unfettered by large corporations which will not enter the market until it is legal to sell across state lines and America's borders. California businesses will also benefit because current high prices at $2,000 per pound will not be compromised for years to come as competition heats up slowly and deliberately without the aggressive competition of, for example, the large tobacco companies.
Tips for Entrepreneurs
The cultivation side of marijuana involves entrepreneurs who follow up on each city that passes ordinances allowing medical use to take advantage of variations in the new laws. Entrepreneurs should shop the various cities for the best deals, the most cooperative city apparatus, utility companies and most convenient location for their executives.
As you scout new locations where medical marijuana has been legalized, remain aware and concerned about the level of assistance the city can provide; it can make or break an enterprise.

COMMONWEALTHv.BLUMENTHAL BROTHERS CHOCOLATE COMPANY, APPELLANT
Appeal from order of Commonwealth Court, Nos. 408 and 573 T.D. 1970, in case of Commonwealth of Pennsylvania v. Blumenthal Brothers Chocolate Company.
Ivan I. Light, with him William P. Thorn, and Wolf, Block, Schorr & Solis-Cohen, for appellant.
Edward T. Baker, Deputy Attorney General, for Commonwealth, appellee.
Jones, C. J., Eagen, O'Brien, Roberts, Pomeroy, Nix and Manderino, JJ. Opinion by Mr. Justice Manderino.
Author: Manderino
[ 457 Pa. Page 62]
The appellant, Blumenthal Brothers Chocolate Company, is a Pennsylvania Corporation with headquarters in Philadelphia. During its fiscal years 1965 and 1966, the appellant had gross receipts each year of approximately $16,000,000 from its business of manufacturing and merchandising chocolate, cocoa, and candy products. Approximately $5,000,000 of appellant's total gross receipts of $16,000,000 each year was negotiated or effected, in the metropolitan New York area, by two sales agents of the appellant located outside of Pennsylvania. The orders received by the sales agents for the appellant's products were forwarded to the appellant's headquarters in Philadelphia for approval and the products ordered were shipped from Philadelphia to the out-of-state customers. The sales agents were paid strictly on a commission basis by the appellant. There was no other financial arrangement between the appellant and the sales agents. One of these sales agents, E. Berg & Sons (Berg), rented an office in Teaneck, New Jersey and the other agent, Charles R. Pariente (Pariente), rented an office in Hackensack, New Jersey.
In computing its Pennsylvania corporate net income tax liability for its fiscal years 1965 and 1966, the appellant excluded the gross receipts of approximately $5,000,000 received each year from its sales in the New York metropolitan area. The exclusion was not permitted, however, in the resettlements of appellant's tax liability. The resettlements were sustained by the Board of Finance and Revenue and the Commonwealth Court. Blumenthal Brothers Chocolate Company v. Commonwealth, 5 Pa. Commw. 344, 291 A.2d 347 (1972). This appeal followed.
The appellant had excluded the gross receipts of $5,000,000 from the numerator of the gross receipts fraction which is used, as provided by law, in the
[ 457 Pa. Page 63]
computation of a corporation's net income tax liability. Corporate Net Income Tax Act, Act of May 16, 1935, P. L. 208, § 2, 72 P.S. § 3420b(2)(c)(3) (repealed 1971 and replaced by Act of March 4, 1971, P. L. 74, No. 2, art. IV, § 401, as amended, 72 P.S. § 7401). Such exclusion, according to the appellant, was proper under a specific provision of the Corporate Net Income Tax Act. We do not agree.
The Corporate Net Income Tax Act provides that the numerator of the gross receipts fraction used in computing corporate net income tax liability shall be ". . . the amount of the taxpayer's gross receipts from business assignable to this Commonwealth . . ." The Act further provides that the gross receipts assignable to Pennsylvania "shall be . . . [the corporation's] gross receipts" minus any gross receipts which qualify under certain exceptions enumerated in the Act. The gross receipts of $5,000,000, according to the appellant, fall under the exception in the Act which provides ". . . except those [gross receipts] negotiated or effected on behalf of the corporation by agents or agencies chiefly situated at, connected with, or sent out from, premises for the transaction of business maintained by the taxpayer outside of [Pennsylvania]. . . ." Corporate Net Income Tax Act, Act of May 16, 1935, P. L. 208, § 2, 72 P.S. § 3420b(2)(c)(3) (emphasis added).
The exception, of course, can only apply if all of the tests enumerated in the statute have been met by the appellant. There is no dispute that gross receipts of $5,000,000 each year were "negotiated or effected on behalf of the [appellant] by agents . . . [located] outside of Pennsylvania . . ." and there is no dispute that, in New Jersey, there were ". . . premises for the transaction of business . . ." by Berg and Pariente. These conclusions, however, are not sufficient ...

AIA were delighted to attend the inaugural Companies House Stakeholder Engagement roundtable meeting for accountants at Chartered Accountants Hall last week (31 May 2018). The CEO of Companies House, Louise Smyth, attended along with members of the Companies House team to discuss current issues and challenges in the accountancy sector with key personnel from professional and representative bodies.
The key subject areas discussed included online filing and collaborative working.
Currently 80% of all accounts are filed online and Companies house would like to explore ways to persuade the remaining 20% to follow suit as 99% of all account formats can be accepted online by Companies House.
The idea of developing some form of recognised agent was discussed with professional bodies encouraging members to promote digital reporting and promote Companies House's principles.
It was agreed that the group should meet quarterly and AIA will provide members with updates in due course.

UCPN (M) concerned over discussion at Energy Ministry
The UCPN (Maoist) has expressed concerns over the recent discussion that was held at the Energy Ministry , alleging that the discussion was held for allowing foreign country for the use of country's water resources. Speaking at a regular press meet organised at the party headquarters in Koteshwor on Saturday, party spokesperson Dinanath Sharma said, "The discussion at the Energy Ministry to allow the foreign countries for the utilisation of water resources of the country at a time when the prime minister was out of the nation and without discussing with the opposition parties was worrying." He added that allowing only single foreign country for the use of such a huge water resource was concerning. In stead of this, the country should seek various options of investment and best utilise the water resources and devote to national interest, he added.
He also said the budget unveiled by the government was also against the welfare of the general public, for it focused on bigwigs' interests.
Moreover, the spokesperson said the party was always for the constitution with federalism and guarantee of identity. He also thanked the new leadership in the CPN-UML elected recently after the ninth General Convention.

Flash Cards and Pretty Hair Again
This was a good day. I'm still sad over recent events in my "beyond Mother" life, but I can only thank God every day that Mom is doing so well. I have to let go what I can let go of -- especially, those things I have no control over.
I am very excited to have found a lady to do Mom's hair here in our tiny town. It had to be JUST THE RIGHT lady.
My Mom is very demanding and not just anyone can deal with her. I wanted a small place with one person. The fewer people, the less confused Mom will get. The beautician is older -- maybe my age. I think Mom will be very relaxed with her as she tells her she doesn't know what she is doing, and she is doing it all wrong.
Mom insisted on a manicure and pedicure also, but this lady does not do those. I may have to do them myself while Mom is getting her perm!
I wanted to tell you about my idea to help Mom remember that is working very well.
As you know, Dementia patients can't remember anything short-term. Mom is on hospice, so there are several people who come by through the week to visit her.
There are also two ladies who "babysit" her for me so I can go to work.
Every morning and night Mom asks me over and over and over who is coming the next day. She will walk down the hall to our bedroom late at night and stand in our doorway. I will ask her what she needs. She will say, "I HAVE to know something! WHO is coming tomorrow to see me???"
A few weeks ago, I decided to make some "flash cards" for her. I think I told you before. I used 4x6 cards, and wrote with thick sharpies one name to a card. Then I would hand her the names that would be coming on a certain day.
THEN, Mom started saying, "But I don't know what she looks like."
So I asked each lady if I could take her picture. I now have new flash cards with names AND pictures so Mom will know who is coming and what they look like. I put the cards on the kitchen table where she eats breakfast every morning; but yesterday, she decided she has to take the cards WITH HER and have them at all times so she can refer to them. It is so cute.
A former neighbor and very good friend of hers calls occasionally. His name is Fred. He called earlier this evening. He asked if he could talk to her. I told him I didn't know if she would remember him. She was right there near me, so I asked her if she remembered "Fred". She said, "NO! I don't KNOW that man!"
I told Fred I would hand her my phone, and maybe his voice would "ring a bell". They talked for several minutes, and she remembered that he lived next door to her, and she asked him about her house that is now for sale. Right after he hung up, of course, she wanted to know who he was.
Oh, almost forgot: Friday is going to be a PLAY DAY for Terry and me. A new quilt shop is having a Grand Opening in McKinney, TX, and we are going to check it out. Terry is making a quilt for my Mom because my Mom TOOK the quilt Terry made for me that I keep in Edmond. I don't need a thing, but I'm sure SOMETHING will jump into my arms while I am there. I will let you know how it goes.
And THANK YOU to Lorinda who left me the link to the Dementia video and her blog about her Dad. He saw INVISIBLE horses. It was a wonderful blogpost. Here is the link if you would like to see it:
TV time. Jerry was gone all last week, and I am so happy to have him back home. He helps me a lot with Mom if just to have eyes on the hallway while I take a shower or am upstairs. He always fixes her TV when she presses all the wrong buttons on the control.

hi joy!ReplyDelete
my mom had her 90th birthday on monday. we kids spent the day with her. she and my dad are still living alone in the house i grew up. dad is confused as usual, but they refuse to give up their house. fortunately for them, the four of us kids get along well and share the load in caring for them.
i am glad you came up with a plan (with the cards) for your mom to know who is coming. i am sure it calms her fears even if she does not remember in the end.
please know you, jerry and your mom are in my prayers.

Karsten, The proposal of "TTF/OTF only" would force restricted-license font vendors to either permit use on the web of their fonts in that format or not permit use of their fonts on the web. The proposal of "TTF/OTF plus ____", the blank to be filled in later, would not force such a choice upon those vendors. The rationalizations offered by the vendors for rejecting "TTF/OTF only" do not apply to "TTF/OTF plus _____". Nothing in "TTF/OTF plus ____" requires them to permit web use of their fonts in TTF/OTF. You seem to be suggesting a possible rationale against "TTF/OTF plus ____". I think you are saying that people will then go ahead and use TTF/OTF in cases where they are not permitted to. No doubt they will -- just as some will make unauthorized conversions of restricted licenses to and from any other format we construct. Meanwhile, there are many (and more coming) fonts in TTF/OTF that already interoperate with all browsers but one and with all desktops.

The Super NES (or SNES) launched in 1991 with only a few games. Super Mario World, F-Zero, Pilotwings, SimCity and Gradius 3 were it. These were great games though. Gradius III, SimCity and Super Mario World allowed us to revisit familiar franchises re-imagined with the power this new console had to offer. F-Zero and Pilotwings were basically thrown into the mix to show off the SNES's Mode-7 capabilities. A month after it launched, the SNES was heating up with releases such as Populous, Super R-Type, U.N. Squadron, Final Fight and Hyperzone (to name a few). Derek and I were late to the console's launch, receiving our SNES late in the year of 1992. That didn't stop us from buying SNES launch titles. One of those games we ended up with was Hyperzone.

Natural Disasters Take Toll in U.S. and Abroad
In August of 1992, Hurricane Andrew hit the Homestead area of South Florida, killing 15, leaving 250,000 homeless and causing $20 billion in property damage. In the same year, flooding in Chicago and a violent Nor'easter staking East Coast states caused considerable damage and loss of life.
In the next year, another violent storm struck the Eastern Seaboard in March, claiming 240 lives and causing extensive property damage. In the summer, flooding of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers took 50 lives and destroyed an estimated $12 billion in property and crops.
Abroad, by 1992, famine in Somalia had killed over 300,000 people, and the ensuing anarchy prompted President Bush to send U. S. troops into Somalia under a United Nations mandate. Civil wars in Sudan, Angola, and Mozambique also created mass starvation. The next year, violent rains and earthquakes took over 20,000 lives in areas of India and Bangladesh...

Young London-based designer Kenyon Yeh is throwing out instruction booklets and getting some interesting results.
Seeking to create personal identity out of ubiquitous uniformity, Kenyon took standard Ikea flat-pack furniture and assembled the pieces as he wanted, adding some new details along the way. The resulting 'Unikea' collection is a quirky take on mass-produced design and a satisfyingly lead to original furniture design concept.
One of the new elements incorporated into the designs is an old detailed English chair leg which Kenyon re-cast in resin; cleverly adding a traditional craftsmanship into a unique whole made up of mass-produced pieces.
"The process is liberating and brings a limitless attitude of possibility creating unique furniture instead of doing such a thing that made by forces"
KENN features three major quadrilateral shapes and a triangular niche created by the intersection of the three 4-sided parts of this piece. Two red feet support one end, while the other side rests on the angled corner of the rightmost rhomboid.
BRIA is a double rhombus-like structure, which has been interconnected in a way that appears as though one of the rhombuses is being derived out of the other. It has four legs, which have been give a contrasting blue colour. Ideal for stacks of books, BRIA is a unique take on the common bookcase.
DALT, The bookrack is a two pieces structure featuring geometric shapes. The rack has two legs of contrasting green color installed on one side, while the other side is balanced with the help of a secondary structure.
LOPA a part of this collection, which may be used as a bookstand, features four legs which have been colored in black. The structure is a single piece and is divided into three segments that are interconnected.

World Champions of MarijuanaThe Cannabis Cup was founded in 1988 by High Times editor-in-chief Steven Hager to establish an international standard for cannabis seeds. He modeled it after the harvest festivals held in California in the 1970s, where growers would bring their finest buds and a winner would be judged. Held every November in Amsterdam, The Cannabis Cup is now a huge festival event, with flocks of pot connoisseurs arriving from around the world to sample "the kind". This 102 minute program combines documentary footage of the festival's concerts and ceremonies with hilarious TV show parodies such as The Cannabis Castaways Reality TV Show-six heads stranded on an Amsterdam houseboat, The Grow Show with Kyle Kushman-cultivation tips from master growers, Wake and Bake With Jay-Good Morning Amsterdam and The High Witness News Featuring Johnny Zero. Also included is close-up photography of the world's best buds and of course the Cannabis Cup winners!

We had a fine time, probably the nicest day in years.
The weather was perfect, everybody was pleasant, and I even went swimming a few times, which made the warm day much more bearable.
My brother managed another truly random and interesting present (a tradition of his) - he gave me a voodoo doll toothpick holder. It may have a similar future to that of Yay's family Christmas pigs, we will have to see.
For us, Summer Christmas in the tropics consists of cool drinks, cold meats, salads, cold desserts, snoozing, backyard cricket and swimming in the pool. People from the northern hemisphere often complain that "it just isn't Christmas", but to me, it is perfect.

According to a report from Reuters, Indian is working on an electric motorcycle.
Supposedly, a single charge could take the new bike as far as 225 km while being ridden aggressively, which is a far cry (no pun intended) from the Empulse TT electric bike that Indian's parent company Polaris just axed.
The new electric Indian would theoretically debut in the next four or five years, Reuters said.
There's no word on what the new battery bike would be called, or what it would look like. While most of Victory's lineup espoused traditional cruiser styling, the Empulse TT kept the sportbike lines originally developed when Brammo owned the design. Will the new Indian electric bike have similar sporting intentions, or will it tend towards the muscle cruiser genre, as Harley-Davidson's Livewire concept does?
Indian's competition with Harley-Davidson in the electric segment will be interesting to watch. Emerging battery technology could give either manufacturer a chance to reinvent themselves for a new generation of riders, but will they take it? Will they have any choice? Harley-Davidson is supposed to release their first electric motorcycle by 2020; expect the next few years to be have lots of competition in the North American motorcycle manufacturing industry.

The Springfield M1903A1 is a weapon in the Rising Storm edition of Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad.
General InformationEdit
When completely empty, it reloads using its stripper clip. Reloading a partially empty clip involves inserting bullets one at a time. If a bullet is already chambered, then it is lost when the bolt is pulled back; reloading when two bullets have been fired, for example, results in a bullet lost through bolting followed by inserting three bullets instead of two. This problem can be solved by using manual bolting and not bolting after a shot has been fired.

|Murphy | Cook County Sheriff's Office
Prosecutors said 19th District officers saw the robbery unfold in the 4700 block of North Broadway early Thursday morning and immediately went to assist the 22-year-old victim.
Murphy attempted to disarm one of the approaching officers and then fled the scene.
The officers chased Murphy into an alley where they discharged pepper spray to subdue him. Two cops suffered injuries during the arrest, police said.
Other officers recovered a knife that Murphy used in the robbery, prosecutors said. A phone that he had in his hand at the time of his arrest belonged to the victim, police said.
State records show that Murphy was released from prison in April after serving just four years of an eight-year sentence for burglary.
His previous prison sentences include 33 years for murder-intent to kill in 1989; four years for burglary in 1989; ten years for armed robbery in 1989; six years for burglary in 1986; and a pair of four-year sentences for burglaries in 1982.
A judge Thursday ordered him held without bail.

One thing was clear when Kodie Shane and YG dropped by TRL this morning: they've got no time for drama or controversies in 2018. As the two came thru the studio to hang with Sway Calloway, they each had the chance to clear the air in regards to recent buzzy headlines.
Kodie Shane cleared up all the misconceptions about the current status and future of Sailing Team, the collective group led by Lil Yachty. While she and the other members are all currently pursuing their own solo projects, there's no hard feelings between any of them. Kodie's only got love to give, and I'm so here for that.
Same goes for YG, who's been in the headlines after Colin Kaepernick's name was mysteriously missing from Big Sean's verse on his track "Big Bank" on the latest Madden NFL 19. YG made it clear that while he had no clue his name would be missing, it's all in the past as the creators of Madden have fixed their mistake and updated the track to its original version. Check out YG recounting the events below. TRL airs on weekdays at 8:00am ET.

Ultra Impressive 2YO Stakes Winner for Turffontein
Star three-year-old filly Fontein Ruby has been flying the flag brilliantly for her sire Tuffontein of late. Back to back victories in the VRC Edward Manifold Stakes (Gr2) and MRC Caulfield Classic (Gr3) have this first crop member of Turffontein's firmly entrenched amongst the best three year old fillies in the land. Fontein Ruby is however going to have to share the limelight now with a member of Turffontein's second crop, the very exciting filly Fontiton (pictured) who crushed her 12 over-matched opponents in Saturday's $250,000 Inglis Banner (1000m) at Moonee Valley. This daughter of Turffontein left many seasoned racegoers 'gobsmacked' by her breathtaking performance.
Trained by Robert Smerdon, Fontiton controlled the race from the start and purely idled to the line to score by six lengths under a soft ride from jockey Mark Zahra. Despite the ease of the victory, the time Fontiton took to run the 1000 metre journey was just a second outside Miss Andretti's course record which has stood since 2007. "Really good. Really impressive," commented Zahra after the race. "I barely went for her. I just got her out and running then brought her back to a comfortable tempo. I heard Zac (Purton on Hot Snippety) come off the bit on the turn and I thought he was the hardest to beat so I gave her a little shake up, checked the big screen, and shut her down." Fontiton may run next in the Maribyrnong Plate (Gr3) at Flemington on the final day of the Spring Carnival after which she would go to the paddock before embarking on an Autumn campaign.
Bred on the same Turffontein – Rubiton cross as Fontein Ruby, Fontiton was a $110,000 purchase by Matchem Racing from the Blue Gum Farm consignment at the 2014 Inglis Premier Yearling sale. She is the fifth foal of the stakes-winning mare Personal Ensign who is visiting Turffontein again this season.
Turffontein is currently Australia's Leading 2YO Sire and Leading 2nd Crop Sire. He has made a remarkable start to his stud career and is standing this season at the great value fee of $7,700.

Print out your invitation onto half of an 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock sheet. Print an invitation on the right and another on the left, then cut right down the middle.
Fold your invitation into thirds so that you see the title when opening it. Fold over the glitter tape to make a loop, which will be a ribbon loop. Be sure to peel off the adhesive backing as you go. Wrap the glitter tape all the way around the back of the invitation, then create the second loop on the front ot make the other half of the ribbon.
Cut a small strip to be the mid section of the ribbon, which can be arched when stuck on to create a 3D effect. Then, cut the ends of the tape to look like ribbon.

Utterly Arbitrary Jottings on Gene Wolfe's Book of Days
Tue Jan 11, 2005
"How the Whip Came Back"
This seems transparently misogynist.
Might link Gershenfeld's When Things Think to the robot.
Last image of the husband in chains is clearly meant to be symbolic–should also pay closer attention to what kind of memory alteration the protag. has had.
UN again.
Soviet domination–penology.
Note "Lincoln's Birthday"
"Of Relays and Roses"
32 our economy has come to depend on people getting married more than once
Mark XX: Mark 10-11 and 10-12 tell of Jesus forbidding divorce Is there a hint of the subversion of the natural order by Marcia choosing him as a husband here?
"Paul's Treehouse"
clearly set against the background of urban riots
scotch set in his stomach like a pool of mercury
48 Russell had been an engineer at one time; Morris had never been quite sure of the reason he no longer was
Another murderous gang that effete Americans aren't prepared for via an overreliance on technology.
It seemed as if Paul's retreat into the treehouse might mirror the protest groups' dissociation from society, but that's not what the ending reveals.
"St. Brandon" (from Peace)
Fairly incomprehensible.
Exposition of the libertarian position on enivornmental regulation and original sin.
"Car Sinister"
Might be thought of in relation to American blues tradition of comparing women to automobiles. Last line is somewhat mysterious.
"The Blue Mouse"
UN again. File under deprivation of free will through social engineering, deleterious effects of.
"How I Lost the Second World War and Helped Turn Back the German Invasion"
Am teaching this one. Will report back later.
"The Adopted Father"
96 hundred million people drew unemployment benefits 98 abnormally perfunctory Martian terraforming plan 98-99 implanted memories, also in "How the Whip Came Back"
The ending requires more comment.
I think Alice Turner on the Urth list once noted that Wolfe had his Borges mode and his Kafka mode. This story is clearly in the latter.
It's also quite funny and not as mysterious as it might appear. Forlesen is not in a computer, as some enthusiasts have suggested, but he's in the ontological equivalent–the goal of the rationalized society in which he lives. The final comment about the aliens attempting to recreate civilization as it might have been confirms this and is not meant literally.
The idea about a brain tumor also appears in the Book of the Long Sun.
The final answers seem to match the list of roles, as contributors to the Urth list have noted. The man says "yes" to priest, theologian, actor, National Hero, and aged loremaster. He also says "maybe" to novelist. I doubt I'm the first to point out that this might very well be how Wolfe sees himself (he served in the Korean War).
"An Article about Hunting"
This, were it not for the type of humor, probably wouldn't out of place in an NRA pamphlet.
"The Changeling"
The voice of the beginning itself changes from what follows. Brainwashing is clearly in the background of this story. One way to think of it might be that the narrator has in fact come back from China after defecting but that the subsequent confusion about his identity and memory comes from his reeducation. The violence he committed against the frog and his competitive instincts could be manifestations of an individualist vs. collectivist propaganda. (I'm aware this point may be unclear; I'm thinking about it.) He can only now live in the west as a ghost, a vestige, a figure outside of time and place. The Peter Pan legend has supplied the details of his psychotic ideation.
"Many Mansions"
Perhaps is set in the same general world of The Fifth Head of Cerberus. Could it be an ancestor of David Foster Wallace's Brief Interviews with Hideous Men? Probably not, though I wonder when the unprinted questions conceit first appears.
"Against the Lafayette Escadrille"
The LE was a group of volunteer American pilots who fought with the French against the Germans before the U.S. entered WWI. Well, I didn't know.
The "flammable dope" was a varnish applied to the cloth surface of airplane parts (OED).
No actual dresses were used for the "Silk Dress Balloons," though they were made of silk.
Nostalgia. Craft as reclamation of lost time. Aura. Authenticity.
"The War Beneath the Tree"
There are clear similarities to the feminine world depicted in There Are Doors with the robots designed to provide company for lonely children, etc. The substitution of technology for interpersonal relationships as a way of meeting the world and its attendant perils is the main idea here.
"La Befana"
I've written about this in the Island of Dr. Death and Other Stories and Other Stories entry.
I didn't know about tulpas, a clearly fascinating concept.
We have a bit of the hypocrite lecteur at the end there. Reminds me in form of "Car Crash While Hitchhiking."
