Experience Israel through its many faces: versatile populations and various ethnic groups await you as you tour the country from North to South
Start the day with a visit to the Yigal Alon Museum at Kibbutz Ginosar. (Yigal Alon was among the founders of Israel's Labor Movement and of Kibbutz Ginosar). This unique museum focuses on the human experience in the Galilee in the past, present and future. It is also home to changing exhibits showcasing the finest talents of Galilee artists from a variety of faiths and ethnic backgrounds, and the magnificent display of the Galilee Boat, dating from the time of Jesus discovered mired in the mud on the shore of the Sea of Galilee. This would also be a good opportunity to learn about one of Israel's most incredible creations: the kibbutz.
Proceed to a tour of the northwestern shore of the Sea of Galilee and visit a number of Christian holy sites, among them Capernaum, Simon Peter's home town, Tabha, commemorating the miracle of the Loaves and Fishes and Mt. of the Beatitudes, where the Sermon on the Mount was preached.
In the afternoon, visit Tzfat (Safed), one of the four holy cities in Israel and the home of Lurian mysticism (a branch of Jewish mysticism conceived by the 16th century Rabbi Isaac Luria). Stroll along the lanes of the Old City and to see some of its many synagogues, its unique artist's colony and historic cemetery.
In the early evening, drive to Jerusalem via the coastal road.
Overnight in Jerusalem

kilmo: FYI, this characterisation of the Cantor group is awkward compared to the following characterisation. Take all infinite binary sequences. This is an additive group with the xor operation. Define the topology as the smallest one such that the set of all sequences which have 0 in the i'th place is both closed and open.
With this chracterisation you don't get an embedding the Cantor group on the line, but you do get an easy way to show all kinds of nice things.
Exercise: can you give this set another continuous group structure such that each element has order 0?
Hint: Can you give the set of all binary sequences of length n a group structure such that there are elements of order 2^n?

Not much big changes here. But i learned c++ now so i could add money management and build delay.
Did you know Storage? I will try to realize something like that in C# using Mono. Just for educational purposes.
Great, i found a way to implement multiuser management. The Login is working flawlessly and i just have to convert all the HTTP_AUTH includes to the new multiuser-include.
After that i will add user suggested features like Preview and Logging. I think this will become a great release, as i also will code audit holaCMS and replace all the old Variables that need register_globals with the new implementations.
I just started development on a C++ based dedicated server. The java-Version was fine and working but I hang on the map loading stuff. With the C++ version I will definitly improve my C++ Skills and be able to reuse FreeCNC's maploading classes. The Server will use SDL_net, so I dont need to wrap all the C-function of SDL_net by myself. I also dont have to watch platform specific socket-code.
So, what did i do? I wrote the FreeCNC Launcher to help lazy ppl like me, to avoid using the command line options. Actually this is written in tcl/tk, so its not that pretty and powerfull. A GTK2+ version is planned, no doubt.
My Apple Pro Keyboard's Extension Keys
What me really concerned was my iMacs Apple Pro Keyboard. Escpecially the extension keys to mute, volume up, volume down and eject/insert the cdrom-tray. They simply didnt work.
I informed myself in the event-system of the linuxkernel and found out, that /dev/input/event1 is the event, which prints me out the key-press and release information, my usb-keyboards creates.
So far, it wouldnt be a problem, to find out, what keyevent produces which number wherefrom i could run a session of aumix and/or eject. But those keys dont print any events. Mark Owen from YellowDogLinux helped me to get some example code on the event-input-stuff, but we both have no idea why those keys dont throw any events. Actually, i wanted the functionality of those keys, so i put the volume-down on F13, volume-up on F14 and cd-eject/insert on F15. Works great :-)
So far, the software does what it is supposed to do (on different keys actually, but who needs F13-F15?) Anyone interested may download it at shmshm.net.
Yesterday i started to rewrite my holaCMS. First I thought of some adaptions in the code. But the System is somewhat ugly, so i will cleanly rewrite it, think of a brandnew and clean design and rewrite it in a objectoriented way. Still no database, but the will be a layer, which make its abstract, so it doenst matter, if you have a database behind it or the holaDB-text files.
If you are interested in the new Design of holaCMS2, you may have a look at a design sheet (OpenOffice Draw): holacms.drunkencat.net.
There is nothing to report on FreeCNC and its network stuff yet, as I was busy and Tim and Euan have been very busy too. I think the closer Linuxtag arrives the more active I will be :-)
Java on Solaris (mybreeding)
Did you know, that a Sparc Machine from 1995 is a nice platform to write java-applications? I do write an breeding Software in Java (which will be opensource, but not free) on that machine (Sparc4, 110MHz, 64MB, CDE on Solaris7). Ok, you need a bit of time, to run the compiler. But it works! Reliable and hard-working. I love those machines. In one step a script cleans up old class-files, compiles the code, moves it and creates a jar-archive. That all takes about 10-15 seconds.
this is my first entry. I think i will post some holaCMS stuff here and tell about my implementation of network support to the FreeCNC project.
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
4.5/5ths of the Planet of the Apes series. (I was watching Battle quite late, and fell asleep.) The first is a true classic in every sense of the world. The others have been fun, but increasingly make you wonder if anyone involved actually watched the movies that came before. More continuity holes than post-Crisis Hawkman.
That's my jacket!
JimJam: how is Deadwood? I'm curious to take a look myself.
I am watching Season 2 of The A-Team now.
The team goes up against a para-military security firm in the episode I just watched.
It's interesting as that post-Vietnam, these companies like Blackwater of recent days, got their start and their patronage by those in the Pentagon and Hawks in Congress.
Faceman (Dirk Benedict) starts a fling with future ally and reporter Tanya Baker who had infiltrated the sercurity firm to cover a story, and finds out that the security firm is contracted to assasinate an Arabic political leader so as to effect a regime change and a more favorable position for American interests in the oil trading market.
I was interrupted by a friend while I was watching this, so I have to finish the episode, but there was the implication that the security firm's contract went all the way up to the CIA in this shady deal.
That it was government sanctioned isn't a surprising plot development, but that Hannibal and the team who were betrayed by our government are now going to throw a monkey-wrench into the plan amuses me.
Also they infiltrate the high security firm's corporate headquarters by posing as air conditioning repair men - after they put a live skunk into the air conditioner! Haha.
BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
Watched Home Alone 2 as it was on ABC Family yesterday then watched ROTS for the first time in over a year or so. was thinking of having an all our SW day with back to back to back movies and then interspliced with the Clone Wars animated series.
Looking for CW 2010 Sidious and TX-20...if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. thanks
T, Deadwood is one of the greatest shows in the history of TV and it's a travesty it didn't continue past season 3. I know the violence, nudity, profanity, etc, won't offend you, so you should definitely check it out.
That's my jacket!
[FONT=Courier New]On Fiday night, the wife and I went to see "Hot Tub Time Machine". She hated it, I loved it. No surprise there.[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New][/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New]Over the weekend I watched a few episodes of "Monster Quest" which I am really into now and a few movies on Comcast ON DEMAND. [/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New][/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New]"The Lucky Ones" with Tim Robbins, Rachel McAdams, and Michael Pena. I really enjoyed it and highly recommend it.[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New][/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New]I also watched My Best Friend's Girl. Dane Cook being Dane Cook. It was like his movie "Good Luck Chuck" in reverse. Eh. Amusing in places. [/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New][/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New]"Year One" was another clunker, but it was free/ON DEMAND. Again, amusing in places. Don't pay for it.[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New][/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New]"Wolverine" on ON DEMAND. I actually enjoyed it better in the comfort of my own home. I didn't enjoy it in the theater last spring. Maybe I liked it better because my brain was completely shut down at this point in the weekend.[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New][/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New]After "Wolverine", I started watching "Shooter" with Mark Wahlberg on TBS last night, but the DVR started recording "Family Guy" and "Undercover Boss". This is my new favorite reality show. I like reality shows only when they focus on real people doing their jobs, not competing for love or money. I consider those game shows.[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New][/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New]I actually spent a lot of time indoors watching the TV this weekend and for the most part, I really enjoyed lazing about and relaxing.[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New]"First of all, never bad mouth synergy..."[/FONT]
Over the weekend, we watched some Enterprise(season 1) episodes, and some Everybody Loves Raymond(season 3&4)too.
"G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra"- Ya know, there are parts of the movie that I enjoyed and those parts are the ridiculous action sequences; the CGI was really iffy during some of those scenes, but it gave the flick a very bad sort of enjoyment. Those scenes are fun to watch, but once any sort of "acting" or plot is when the film loses track. Plus, you get some really, REALLY stupid flashbacks that connect so many characters and it makes things pretty goofy. Also, Marlon Wayans was just.....bad. Very bad. Rating- ** out of ****
"Woke up at 9.55am. Soon as I woke up, I looked at Suzanne and she looked at me. I said, 'Did I tell you about the immune system?' Suzanne starting laughing, I said, 'it's amazing.' She said, 'Not now.'"
It's been a while since I posted in here, so let's see:
Greenberg - A pretty okay film starring Ben Stiller. Nothing too earth-shattering. The movie moved at such a slow pace that there was a sleepy feeling about it.
Seven Samurai - Pretty damn great. It was around 3 hours and 20 minutes but didn't feel like it. I think Rashomon is still my favorite Kurosawa movie, but this one was up there.
The Magnificent Seven - Both this and Seven Samurai were on the DVR for a long time, so we watched the Japanese original the day before the American remake. I also really liked this one; it was perhaps more "fun" than the Japanese version. I liked how they gave the bandits more character in this version (and Eli Wallach is cool, so there you go).

This should really piss you off. From the WSJ:
On Wednesday the president told Congress "I will not stand by while the special interests use the same old tactics to keep things exactly the way they are." In fact, the administration is standing by to allow its most special, special interest to drive this debate. What the tort bar wants, the tort bar gets. Health insurers should be so lucky.
The legal question has become the starkest symbol of a broken health discussion, and offers insight into this presidency. For Republicans, legal reform has become a litmus test, proof that Democrats have no interest in a deal, and therefore a reason to step back. For many Americans, legal reform has become proof that President Obama is more interested in an ideological triumph than his stated goal of lowering health costs.
Tort reform is a policy no-brainer. Experts on left and right agree that defensive medicineordering tests and procedures solely to protect against Joe Lawyeradds enormously to health costs. The estimated dollar benefits of reform range from a conservative $65 billion a year to perhaps $200 billion. In context, Mr. Obama's plan would cost about $100 billion annually. That the president won't embrace even modest change that would do so much, so quickly, to lower costs, has left Americans suspicious of his real ambitions.
It's also a political no-brainer. Americans are on board. Polls routinely show that between 70% and 80% of Americans believe the country suffers from excess litigation. The entire health community is on board. Republicans and swing-state Democrats are on board. State and local governments, which have struggled to clean up their own civil-justice systems, are on board. In a debate defined by flash points, this is a rare area of agreement.
The only folks not on board are a handful of powerful trial lawyers, and a handful of politicians who receive a generous cut of those lawyers' contingency fees. The legal industry was the top contributor to the Democratic Party in the 2008 cycle, stumping up $47 million. The bill is now due, and Democrats are dutifully making a health-care down payment.
During the markup of a bill in the Senate Health Committee, Republicans offered 11 tort amendments that varied in degree from mere pilot projects to measures to ensure more rural obstetricians. On a party line vote, Democrats killed every one. Rhode Island senator and lawyer Sheldon Whitehouse went so far as to speechify on the virtues of his tort friends. He did not, of course, mention the nearly $900,000 they have given him since 2005, including campaign contributions from national tort powerhouses like Baron & Budd and Motley Rice.
Even Senate Finance Chair Max Baucus, of bipartisan bent, has bowed to legal powers. The past two years, Mr. Baucus has teamed up with Wyoming Republican Mike Enzi to offer legislation for modest health-care tort reform in states. That Enzi-Baucus proposal had been part of the bipartisan health-care talks. When Mr. Baucus released his draft health legislation this weekend, he'd stripped out his own legal reforms. The Montanan is already in the doghouse with party liberals, and decided not to further irk leadership's Dick Durbin ($3.6 million in lawyer contributions), the Senate's patron saint of the trial bar.
Over in the House the discussion isn't about tort reform, but about tort opportunities. During the House Ways & Means markup of a health bill, Texas Democrat Lloyd Doggett ($1.5 million from lawyers) introduced language to allow freelance lawyers to sue any outfit (say, McDonald's) that might contribute to Medicare costs. Only after Blue Dogs freaked out did the idea get dropped, though the trial bar has standing orders that Democrats make another run at it in any House-Senate conference.
It says everything that Mr. Obama wouldn't plump for reform as part of legislation. The president knows the Senate would never have passed it in any event. Yet even proposing it was too much for the White House's legal lobby. Mr. Obama is instead directing his secretary of health and human services to move forward on test projects. That would be Kathleen Sebelius, who spent eight years as the head of the Kansas Trial Lawyers Association.
The issue has assumed such importance that even some Democrats acknowledge the harm. With bracing honesty, former DNC chair Howard Dean recently acknowledged his party "did not want to take on the trial lawyers." Former Democratic Sen. Bill Bradley, in a New York Times piece, suggested a "grand bipartisan compromise" in which Democrats got universal coverage in return for offering legal reform. The White House yawned, and moved on.
It isn't clear if Republicans would or should take that deal, but we won't know since it won't be offered. The tort-reform issue has instead clarified this presidency. Namely, that the bipartisan president is in fact very partisan, that the new-politics president still takes orders from the old Democratic lobby.

By Tiernan Ray
Shares of eBay (EBAY) are down $1.47, or almost 3%, at $53.79, perhaps prompted by a note this morning from R.W. Baird's Colin Sebastian, who reiterates an Outperform rating, and a $60 price target, while writing that his own home-brewed survey of February sales trends "suggests a slowdown in year-over-year growth to the low teens from mid/high teens in January."
Sebastian opines that the slowdown "may reflect combined monthly effects of a tougher comp, consumer spending (e.g., higher taxes) and some deceleration in the Auto Parts category."
"In the UK, we note that the British Retail Consortium reported e-commerce spending growth of +11% in February, steady with January."
Meantime, he writes that the GSI Commerce unit of eBay is deploying new technology that could help third-party sales:
Our field checks suggest that GSI is in the process of rolling out its long-awaited v11 e-commerce platform upgrade to a small group of partner sites, including Christopher & Banks. The pace of new partner announcements appears to be increasing with the addition of Mexx Canada, and recent contract extensions with PetSmart and New York & Company. We believe that a successful rollout of v11 could help GSI accelerate growth and be more competitive against Demandware, ATG (Oracle) and Hybris.
Sebastian also comments briefly on the rumors Google (GOOG) is starting "a membership-based shopping and delivery service similar to Amazon.com (AMZN) Prime," which he thinks would be a "natural next step" for the search giant following deployment of so-called product listing ads" (see yesterday's report by Jefferies & Co.'s Brian Pitz for more on that).

In this pie, dried cherries, cherry preserves and fragrant spices accent crisp green apples.
Leave a Review
This is, I think, the best pie recipe I've ever used. It tastes like mulled cider and the crust is outstanding (particularly if you sub in leaf lard in place of the shortening). This will be my go-to pie.
This has become my go-to pie recipe. Even people who aren't "dessert people" flip for this pie. Can't wait to make it for Thanksgiving (or any other occasion that comes along).
I loved the crust - LOVED it. The pie was pretty darn good, however mine needed a bit more sweetness - perhaps a sweeter apple would resolve this? I think next time I will use a combination of Granny Smiths and Honey Crisp apples.
This pie was so tart it was practically inedible without a huge scoop of vanilla ice cream. Way too tart, and I like tart pies like strawberry rhubarb. Won't make again.
I am not a baker, and I hate making pies. However, I will make this one any day of the week! The crust is a breeze to make, and the pie is fabulous. I am not in charge of making this pie every Thanksgiving. Terrific.
Not too runny/watery (my #1 fruit pie affliction!). My husband came back from eastern Washington State with 10 pounds of hand-picked Golden Delicious apples that were going uneaten--more of an eating apple than a pie apple, but they were great in this recipe. I used two Trader Joe's products: turbinado sugar (I used a 1/2 cup, because my apples were sweet and not tart), and "Dried Pitted Tart Montmorency Cherries". You will MOUND the filling into the pie, and need to be careful not to tear your top crust. Baked in a convection oven at 375 degrees for 1h 15 min (my oven auto- corrects 400 degree to 375), and the color was perfect (not too dark). The filling will cook down by 1/2, leaving a towering "muffin-like" top crust. The apples and cherries have a distinct flavor; the pie filling looks "normal" and appetizing, and not as pink as I was expecting. My family always eats pie slight warmed with half-and half, often for breakfast; this pie was great this way. A keeper.
PS to previous: I always use Pillsbury Ready Made Pie Crust. Good pie crust just doesn't seem to be in my skill set.
This is my go-to dessert. More than one guest has said, "This is the best pie I've had in a long time"...or "...ever." Even those who aren't normally dessert eaters eat the whole piece. Perfect balance of sweet/tart, and I love that it has cardamom in it.
Read the reviews, made it for Thanksgiving without a trial run...I stuck to the recipe exactly (which is hard for me to do) and this pie was amazing!! Wouldn't change a thing.
This was probably the best pie I have ever tried. I served it for Thanksgiving, and everyone loved it. I will be making another tomorrow. Yummy.

Bighorn Canyon
National Recreation Area
Montana & Wyoming
At first glance, time seems to have stopped at Bighorn Canyon. The lake and the steep-sided canyons provide a peaceful setting for those seeking a break from the daily routine. The focus of the area is 113-kilometer-long (71-mile) Bighorn Lake, created by Yellowtail Dam near Fort Smith, Montana. Dedicated in 1968, the dam provides electric power, water for irrigation, flood control, and recreation. Boating, fishing, waterskiing, swimming, and sightseeing are the principal attractions.
While you enjoy the play of light and shadow on rock and water, take time to contemplate the changes that the land and the life upon it have undergone. Time and water provide the keys to Bighorn Canyon where the land has been shaped by moving water since vast upheavals of the earth's crust produced the Pryor and Bighorn Mountains millions of years ago.
For 22 kilometers (15 miles) upstream from the dam, the lake bisects a massive, arching anticline, exposing fossils that tell of successive times
- when this land was submerged under a shallow sea,
- when it was a tropical marsh, and
- when its conifer forests were inhabited by dinosaurs.
Most of Bighorn's visitors come to enjoy the recreational opportunities the setting offers. Boaters, water skiers, fishermen, and scuba and skin divers each find special attractions here. But the park holds much to interest the visitor beyond the lake, from spring and summer wildflowers to more than 200 species of birds, and from the stories of life forms adapting to a harsh environment to the modern search for energy. You may obtain more information on what the park offers at visitor centers near Lovell, Wyoming, and between Yellowtail Dam and Fort Smith, Montana. Most of all, we hope you will find your own place of solitude to relax and to enjoy the diversity and timelessness of this uncommon canyon water land.
A Challenging Land
Rivers have always been man's highways. For more than 40,000 years in the New World, men have traveled and made their livings along rivers and streams. But the Bighorn River was too treacherous and too steep-walled until the dam tamed it, so for thousands of years men lived near the river but avoided navigating it.
In a similar way, the broken land here has challenged man's ingenuity, forcing him to devise advantageous strategies of survival. More than 10,000 years ago, ancient Indian hunters drove herds of game into land traps. These Indians lived simply, gathering wild roots and seeds to balance and supplement their meat diet. They made clothes of skirt baskets and sandals of plant fibers, and tools of stone, bone, and wood. The many caves of the Bighorn area provided seasonal shelters and storage areas for these ancient men, as well as for early traders and trappers.
Absaroke means "People of the large-beaked bird", in the Siouan language of the Crow. Their reservation surrounds most of Bighorn Canyon. Originally a farming people, the Crow split off from the Hidatsa tribe more than 200 years ago. They became a renowned hunting people, described by a member of the Lewis and Clark Expedition as "the finest horsemen in the world". In the early 1900s they built an irrigation system at the mouth of the canyon, responding in their own way to the challenge of the land.
Explorers, trappers, and traders found their way up the Bighorn early in the 19th century.
- The earliest was Charles Larocque who met the Crow at the mouth of the Bighorn in 1805;
- Captain William Clark passed through a year later.
- Jim Bridger claimed he had floated through the canyon on a raft, but later fur traders packed their goods overland on the Bad Pass Trail, avoiding the rivers dangers.
During the Civil War the Bozeman Trail led to the mines of western Montana by crossing the Bighorn north of the dam. Open from 1864 to 1868, the trail was bitterly opposed by the Sioux and Cheyenne, though the Crow remained neutral. The Federal Government was forced to close the trail in 1868 after the treaty of Fort Laramie. Fort C.F. Smith, now on private land, guarded the trail as its northernmost outpost. A simple stone monument now commemorates the Hayfield Fight, a desperate but successful defense against marauding Sioux and Cheyenne warriors. in this skirmish a small party of soldiers and civilian haycutters, working 5 kilometers (3 miles) north of Fort C.F. Smith, fought for eight hours until rescued by troops from the fort on August 1,1867.
After the Civil War cattle ranching became a way of life here. Among the huge open-range cattle ranches was the Mason-Lovell (the ML), some of whose buildings remain. Dude ranching, reflected in the remains of Hillsboro, enjoyed a period of popularity at the turn of the century.
The Crow made the transition from hunter-gatherers to ranchers in one generation. They completed an irrigation system in 1904 after twelve years of labor and opened 14,140 hectares (35,000 acres) of land to irrigated farming. Water was diverted into the Bighorn Canal by a 129-meter (416-foot) diversion dam, moving 21 cubic meters (720 cubic feet) of water per second. Visit the Bighorn Canal Headgate, near Afterbay Campground, and other vestiges of the human past.

Laura's Corner
I work very hard and am attending college to obtain my degree in the Human Service field. Writing makes me feel alive and gives me the opportunity to touch those whom I would not be able to otherwise. Last but not least, I have been blessed with two amazing daughters who love me completely and support my dreams. Feel free to contact me with questions, concerns or feedback.
Rear View
To cut down on stress while driving, there have been times when I will simply lower my rear view mirror as to avoid seeing what's behind me. Because I get slightly nervous when someone's on my tail, this greatly reduces my desire to drink and drive.
All kidding aside, focusing straight ahead works for me. This not only works while driving, but in life as well.
When we continue to look into our rear view, we forgo the amazing and wonderful blessings ahead. At times it's difficult because memories may trigger negativity. Certain individuals, places and even music remind us of what was. It's hard to completely escape and remain focused, but the sooner we do, the sooner we can begin to experience peace.
Many, and you know who I am talkin' 'bout Willis, refuse to let go. Certain individuals believe it's their mission in life to remind you of what you were. No matter that you were 5 years old and lost a turtle, someone, some day is going to remind you of that particular situation. Not exactly sure why, but it may alleviate them from their own personal shenanigans from 1985.
Whatever the case, I have a thought, an idea, and a notion. Each and every one of us has a past. Each and every one of us has made choices which have been less than desirable in the eyes of others. Each and every one of us lives with guilt, fear and worry that one day, our secret will be exposed. And it may.
What do you do when confronted with a guilt? How do you handle a family member who doesn't ask about your future, yet is stuck on your past? I've got a few ideas, one of which may help.
A fellow tattooed friend recently said, "If you want the fire to go out, quit feeding it." What he meant was, "There is absolutely no reason to respond. People are going to say what they want, whether it's fact or not. Stop, drop, roll away and find those who find the good in you."
My first suggesting in dealing with those who attack is to walk away. I know you want to speak your mind, I know you want to one-up them, and I know you want to defend yourself, but it's not necessary. The person you're confronting is looking for attention, and by you giving it to them, they're winning.
My second suggestion is to block that person from your social networks. This includes your cell phone, email accounts, facebook, myspace or anywhere else you socialize on a regular basis. There is absolutely no need for anyone who doesn't have your best interest in mind to have access to your heart.
My third suggestion is to work on rebuilding your worth. It's incredibly difficult to break free from bloodlines when you've been raised to believe that "family is most important". Family to me equates to those who love me unconditionally and love me enough to give me input about any situation they deem necessary. These individuals feel safe enough to give it to you straight, and love you nonetheless.
Last but not least, forgive. I have decided this is the most important part of the equation. My thought is this: I forgive you because I refuse to allow your words and actions to cause one more negative moment, discussion, feeling and emotion in my precious life. My mind, body and spirit are intimately reserved for those who are loving, kind, honest, compassionate, encouraging, uplifting, positive and trustworthy.
That said, it is also important to recognize your own thoughts, feelings and discussions throughout the day. Are you continually gossiping about others? Do you always feel the need to tell it like it is, despite the fact no one is asking for your input? In order to live a stress free life you must change your own beliefs and attitudes about people in general. If you've always found yourself speaking negative in lieu of positive, recognize it and do everything in your power to make that change.
I hope everyone has an amazing weekend filled with peace, love and happiness! Find yours today!

So I've started my new job at Kaval. It's a Python job, which is new and exciting, in that I've known Python for 5 years, but never got a chance to work with it full time. Also the management into exploring ideas extreme programming, agile development, etc. It's a pretty open environment, and despite now having an 1 & 1/2 hour commute (35 kilometres from home to work via bus->subway- >bus), the job rocks!
New ColdStore stuff: I wrote a rough demo of what an XML parser will look like. It uses expat's SAX parser to construct a list of Objects, which inherit from Objects created to match elements in the DTD. What's remaining, design wise, is to come up with a way of mapping the element containment stuff so we can do nice treewalking searches. I'm going to have to take a look at a lot of the XSLT, etc. stuff that's out there, too, to see what kind of transformation operations we're going to need.
Also new is a refactoring of the interpreter's Frame stuff. Split it up into Frames (contexts) and Closures (executable bit.) Makes a little more conceptual sense.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 4:30 PM GMT on June 01, 2011
A very active Atlantic hurricane season is on tap for 2011, according to the seasonal hurricane forecast issued June 1 by Dr. Phil Klotzbach and Dr. Bill Gray of Colorado State University (CSU). The CSU team is calling for 16 named storms, 9 hurricanes, and 5 intense hurricanes, and an Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) 166% of average. Between 1950 - 2000, the average season had 10 named storms, 6 hurricanes, and 2 intense hurricanes. But since 1995, the beginning of an active hurricane period in the Atlantic, we've averaged 14 named storms, 8 hurricanes, and 4 intense hurricanes per year. The new forecast is identical to their April forecast. The forecast calls for a much above-average chance of a major hurricane hitting the U.S., both along the East Coast (48% chance, 31% chance is average) and the Gulf Coast (47% chance, 30% chance is average). The risk of a major hurricane in the Caribbean is also high, at 61% (42% is average.)
The forecasters cited four main reasons for an active season:
1) Neutral to weak La Niña conditions are expected during the most active portion of this year's hurricane season (August-October). This should lead to average to below average levels of vertical wind shear.
2) Above average May sea surface temperatures in the tropical Atlantic.
3) Below average surface pressures during May in the tropical Atlantic.
4) We are in the midst of a multi-decadal era of major hurricane activity, which began in 1995. Major hurricanes cause 80-85 percent of normalized hurricane damage.
Analogue years
The CSU team picked five previous years when atmospheric and oceanic conditions were similar to what we are seeing this year: neutral to weak La Niña conditions in the equatorial Eastern Pacific, and above-average tropical Atlantic and far north Atlantic SSTs during April - May. Those five years were 2008, which featured Hurricane Ike and Hurricane Gustav; 1996, which had two hurricanes that hit North Carolina, Fran and Bertha; 1989, which featured Category 5 Hurricane Hugo; 1981, a very average year with 12 named storms, 7 hurricanes, and 3 intense hurricanes; and 1951, a year that featured 6 major hurricanes. The mean activity for these five years was 12 named storms, 8 hurricanes, and 4 intense hurricanes.
How accurate are the June forecasts?
The June forecasts by the CSU team between 1998 and 2009 had a skill 19% - 30% higher than a "no-skill" climatology forecast for number of named storms, number of hurricanes, and the ACE index (Figure 1). This is a decent amount of skill for a seasonal forecast, and these June forecasts can be useful to businesses such as the insurance industry and oil and gas industry that need to make bets on how active the coming hurricane season will be. Unfortunately, the CSU June 1 forecasts do poorly at forecasting the number of major hurricanes (only 3% skill), and major hurricanes cause 80% - 85% of all hurricane damage (normalized to current population and wealth levels.) This year's June forecast uses a brand new formula never tried before, so there is no way to evaluate its performance. An Excel spreadsheet of their forecast skill (expressed as a mathematical correlation coefficient) show values from 0.41 to 0.62 for their June forecasts made between 1984 and 2010, which is respectable.
Figure 1. Comparison of the percent improvement over climatology for May and August seasonal hurricane forecasts for the Atlantic from NOAA, CSU and TSR from 1999-2009 (May) and 1998-2009 (August), using the Mean Squared Error. Image credit: Verification of 12 years of NOAA seasonal hurricane forecasts, National Hurricane Center.
Figure 2. Comparison of the percent improvement in mean square error over climatology for seasonal hurricane forecasts for the Atlantic from NOAA, CSU and TSR from 2001-2010, using the Mean Square Skill Score (MSSS). The figure shows the results using two different climatologies: a fixed 50-year (1950 - 1999) climatology, and a 2001 - 2010 climatology. Skill is poor for forecasts issued in December and April, moderate for June forecasts, and good for August forecasts. Image credit: Tropical Storm Risk, Inc.
TSR predicts 25% more activity than normal
Expect the Atlantic hurricane season to be about 25% more active than usual, the British private forecasting firm Tropical Storm Risk, Inc. (TSR) said in their pre-season forecast issued on May 24. TSR calls for 14.2 named storms, 7.6 hurricanes, 3.6 intense hurricanes, and an Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) of 124, which is 22% above average. Their May 24 forecast numbers are very close to their previous forecast issued in April. TSR predicts a moderate 55% chance that activity will rank in the top 1/3 of years historically, and a 59% chance that U.S. landfalling activity will be above average. TSR rates their skill level as 16-25% higher than a "no-skill" forecast made using climatology, though an independent assessment by the National Hurricane Center (Figure 1) gives them somewhat lower skill numbers.
TSR projects that 4.4 named storms will hit the U.S., with 1.9 of these being hurricanes. The averages from the 1950-2010 climatology are 3.1 named storms and 1.5 hurricanes. They rate their skill at making these June forecasts for U.S. landfalls at 7 - 11% higher than a "no-skill" forecast made using climatology. In the Lesser Antilles Islands of the Caribbean, TSR projects 1.3 named storms, 0.6 of these being hurricanes. Climatology is 1.1 named storms and 0.5 hurricanes.
TSR cites two main factors for their forecast of an active season:
1) Their model predicts that sea surface temperatures will be 0.11°C warmer than average in August and September over the Main Development Region (MDR) for Atlantic hurricanes. They define this as the area between 10°N and 20°N, between the coast of Africa and Lesser Antilles Islands (20°W and 60°W). It is called the Main Development Region because virtually all African waves originate in this region. These African waves account for 85% of all Atlantic major hurricanes and 60% of all named storms. When SSTs in the MDR are much above average during hurricane season, a very active season typically results (if there is no El Niño event present.)
2) Their model predicts slower than normal trade winds in August and September over the Main Development Region (MDR). Trade winds are forecast to be 0.19 meters per second (about 0.4 mph) slower than average. This would create more spin for developing storms, and allow the oceans to warm up, due to reduced mixing of cold water from the depths and lower evaporational cooling.
FSU predicts a very active hurricane season: 17 named storms
The Florida State University (FSU) Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies (COAPS) issued their third annual Atlantic hurricane season forecast today. This year's forecast calls for a 70% probability of 14-20 named storms and 8-10 hurricanes. The mean forecast is for 17 named storms, 9 hurricanes, and an accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) of 163. They cite warm tropical North Atlantic sea surface temperatures, a weakening of La Niña conditions, and the ongoing positive phase of the Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation as the major factors influencing their forecast.
Other seasonal forecasts
The UK Met Office's Glosea4 model is predicting a moderately more active season than normal, with 13 named storms and a ACE index of 151. The Cuba Institute of Meteorology is calling for 13 named storms and 7 hurricanes. NOAA predicts 15 named storms, 8 hurricanes, and 4.5 intense hurricanes. Pennsylvania State University predicts 16 named storms.
A surprise tropical disturbance for Florida
The Atlantic hurricane season is officially underway, and Mother Nature appears to be taking her cue from the calendar, as we have a surprise storm off the coast of Florida that is a threat to develop into a tropical depression later this week, after it crosses Florida into the Gulf of Mexico. An cluster of thunderstorms called a Mesoscale Convective System (MCS) pushed across southern New England early yesterday, emerged over the ocean, and rotated clockwise towards Florida, steered by a large high pressure system centered over Kentucky. The center of the disturbance stayed over the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, a region of low pressure developed, and intense thunderstorms began to build yesterday afternoon. Early this morning, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) designated the disturbance Invest 93L, and gave it a 10% chance of developing into a tropical depression. At 8am EDT, they upped those chances to 30%. Invest 93L is becoming increasingly organized, with Melbourne, Florida radar showing the beginnings of some rotation, with a solid band of heavy rain on the southwest side of the disturbance. The pressure and winds have leveled out at Buoy 41012, 40 nm ENE of St. Augustine, Florida. Winds peaked at 19 mph, gusting to 22 mph, at 10:50am EDT. Satellite imagery shows a small but intensifying region of thunderstorms. Sea surface temperatures (SSTs) are about 26°C (79°F) off the east coast of Florida, which is just warm enough to support formation of a tropical depression, and about 0.5°C above average. Wind shear is a low 5 - 10 knots, and it is likely that 93L will continue intensifying until it makes landfall over Central Florida this afternoon. A 50-mile wide swath of Florida from Daytona Beach to just north of Tampa can expect 1 - 3 inches of rain from 93L as it tracks over the state this afternoon and tonight. A Windsat pass this morning did not show a closed circulation, and I doubt 93L has enough time to develop into a tropical depression before landfall in Florida. The coast between Daytona Beach and Cocoa Beach could see wind gusts of 25 - 35 mph this afternoon, though.
Figure 3. Afternoon radar image of 93L from the Melbourne, Florida radar.
Fate of 93L once in the Gulf of Mexico
Since 93L is expected to continue its rapid west-southwest motion at 15 - 20 mph through Thursday, it will cross the Florida Peninsula in about 12 hours and emerge over the Gulf of Mexico early Thursday morning. It is possible that the passage over Florida will greatly disrupt 93L, since it is such a small system. I give a 40% chance that the storm will see its peak strength this afternoon, and not significantly regenerate over the Gulf of Mexico. However, the latest SHIPS model forecast predicts that wind shear will remain low to moderate, 5 - 15 knots, as 93L moves westwards over the Gulf of Mexico Thursday and Friday. SSTs in the Gulf are about 27°C (81°F), 0.5 - 1.0°C above average, and it is possible that 93L could gain enough strength to become Tropical Depression One as it crosses the Gulf. Since 93L will be moving parallel to the coast a short distance offshore, it is difficult to predict where the storm might make a second landfall, since a slight change in heading will make a large difference in landfall location. I don't expect widespread heavy rains from 93L along the Gulf Coast, since the storm is so small, but some locations close to the coast could receive 2 - 4 inches as 93L brushes by. Heavier rains are possible at the eventual landfall location. Since 93L is so small, the computer models are having trouble seeing the system, and are not very helpful forecasting the behavior of the storm over the Gulf of Mexico. The Hurricane Hunters are on call to fly into 93L Thursday afternoon at 2pm EDT, if necessary.
Central Caribbean disturbance
Moisture and heavy thunderstorm activity continues to slowly increase in the region between Central America and Jamaica, and wind shear is falling. With wind shear now 20 - 30 knots, we can expect this disturbance to show increased organization today, and recent satellite images show the beginnings of a surface circulation trying to get going about 100 miles off the coast of Northeast Nicaragua. All of the computer models predict that an area of low pressure will form in this region by Thursday, and this low will have the potential to develop into a tropical depression late this week or early next week. A surge of moisture accompanying a tropical wave currently south of Hispaniola may aid development when the wave arrives in the Western Caribbean on Thursday. Water temperatures in the Central Caribbean are about 1°C above average, 29°C, which is plenty warm enough to support development of a tropical storm. Residents of Jamaica, Cuba, the Cayman Islands, Haiti, Honduras, and Nicaragua should anticipate the possibility that heavy rains of 2 - 4 inches may affect them Thursday through Saturday this week.

(Raleigh, NC – January 28, 2011) Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) applauded the executive order issued today by North Carolina Governor Bev Perdue that acknowledges the authority of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from large industrial sources. The following statement may be attributed to Michael Regan, EDF director of Southeast energy and air policy:
"EPA's mandate from the U.S. Supreme Court to regulate greenhouse gas pollution is the law of the land. The executive order smoothes the way for North Carolina to focus on the largest greenhouse gas sources in the state. This is a reasonable and practical approach that will alleviate potential burdens for the business community, while effectively protecting public health and the economy."

A memory trick
I don't remember where I saw it but someone wrote that using CPS style prolog implementation is costly. And It is a little indeed. It will punish you with a factor of about 3x and the irregularities of garbage collection will hit you with a factor of 6x or more if it is done in passes. At least this is the timings I get on a prolog example written in C using a tail call trampoline and proper closures allocated from the heap. Now the same limiting feature would be present in a implementation in a Lisp or any other higher level language with proper closures and a working GC. The cool thing with the closures needed to do backtracking are that they don't need to allocate the closures on the heap. In stead one can maintain a stack to do the trick. I did implement a quick version using this method and the figures above came as a conclusion. So in principle there is a 4-5 fold of savings possible to go from the VM to Naitive compilation. A note here are that the overhead of the VM masks GC issues and there is not much gained from trying to squeeze extra vm instructions or compiler directives into generating special op-codes to allocate the closures from the stack in a special manner.
So how did I implement this. Well actually I have a small compiler written in scheme that output's c-code from a scheme like language, taking advantage of Alex Shinn's excellent fmt library. In this package there are element's to hide tail call trampoline semantics and closure generation to achieve close to scheme semantics. So in order to allocate the closere from a stack I needed an allocated array and companion pointer lam-stack, I added two extra macros, s-lambda, f-lambda. s-lambda allocates just the closure from the next bytes from the stack and are used in closures typically generated by (%and a b ...). f-lambda are the lambda that defines the next continuation at a junction. for this closure we can allocate it again from the stack and then when the lambda is run we simply set the stack pointer lam-stack to the next byte of the
end of the chunk of environment data for the closure that it needs to express the continuation. (that data is copied over, a strategy that works because we do not set! variables) In all, f-lambda semantics imply that we do not consume the stack and a quite small stack is enough for
many implementations.
The careful reader will recognize that this strategy will consume much more stack then needed. f-lambda sematics can be improved to do much less copying by noticing that the variables carried over to the next continuation follows a total order on the set of subsets of variables needed in the sequence of closures at a junction. This means that one can copy the variables only ones and then reuse the stackframe (so it is apparent that the current versions will need quite a lot of stack space at each junction. Also for the s-lambdas one can save some space by similar techniques. This can decrease the amount of copying and needed stack space.
How does the prolog macro package work? Here is %and%:
(define-syntax :and:
(syntax-rules ()
((_ w x) (Y w x))
((_ (cc cut fail s) (:cut:) . l)
(:and: (cc cut cut s) . l))
((_ (cc cut fail s) x . l)
(:let: ((ccc (:s-lambda: s (fail) (:and: (cc cut fail s) . l))))
(Y (ccc cut fail s) x)))))
and %or%:
(define-syntax :or:
(syntax-rules ()
((_ w x) (Y w x))
((_ (cc cut fail s) x . l)
(:let*: ((P (:scm-call: c_newframe))
(f (:f-lambda: s ()
(:scm-call: c_unwind P)
(or-work P (cc cut fail s) . l))))
(Y (cc cut f s) x)))))
Note here that cc is the continuation cut is a failure of an earlier junction. And here is how one defines a prolog function.
(:define: lam-stack (queens3 UnplacedQs SafeQs Qs)
;(:pp: "queens3 Unplaced ~a -> ~a" UnplacedQs SafeQs)
(:match: (UnplacedQs)
( _ (:var: (Q UnplacedQs1)
(:and: (:call: selectq Q UnplacedQs UnplacedQs1)
(:not: (:call: attack Q SafeQs))
(:call: queens3 UnplacedQs1
(:scm-call: c_cons Q SafeQs) Qs))))
(() (:=: SafeQs Qs))))
And we see that there are overhead and some carefulness in the coding but it's a lot of help over trying to write c-code that consists of 2000 lines of code compared to the 80 lines used to write the application. N.B. I didn't find a way to format the code snippets in a good way, sorry!
There are two more way's that can save time. Inlining and using fixnum arithmetics in stead of SCM based arithmetics. Also many new bottlenecks start to appear like the output printing routine. Anyway the conclusion are that a CPS + tail call trampoline is not to bad as a tool to do backtracking searches if done with the right compiler.
Have fun

Shares of Intel (INTC) are down 87 cents, or 3.6%, at $23.28, following a report yesterday afternoon of Q2 revenue that missed analysts' expectations, and profit in line with consensus, a weaker-than-expected Q3 forecast, and a cut in the company's year view, with Intel now expecting no growth for this year.
On a conference call following the results, the first for newly installed CEO Brian Krzanich, Krzanich told the Street that Intel had been late to the mobile computing market, meaning smartphones and tablets, and that the new strategy would emphasize putting its "Atom" line of processors for those devices on more of an equal footing with Intel's "Core" processors for desktops and laptops, rather than the second-place status they have traditionally been afforded in Intel's manufacturing plans.
While a reset of expectations in the cut in outlook is welcomed by most today, the bears are pressing the point that Intel's outlook still seems too wishful. Price targets are mostly staying put, while estimates are going lower to match Intel's reduced outlook.
Ross Seymore, Deutsche Bank: Reiterates a Buy rating and a $26 price target. "While this rev guide is mildly disappointing, we believe the co has now set the bar realistically and importantly shown continued signs of cost control by trimming capex/opex (- $1b/-$200m). Consequently, we believe the co's transition into faster growing mkts (ultra-mobile, foundry etc.) will require patience, but expect the shares to slowly rise as signs of success emerge in 2H13 (tablets, convertibles etc.) and become more meaningful in 2014 (LTE handsets)."
John Pitzer, Credit Suisse: Reiterates an Outperform rating, and a $28 price target. "The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service recently proposed the removal of the Gray Wolf from the endangered species list; the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker might already be extinct. As one of the last remaining INTC bulls, we often wonder about our own fate. C2Q results/C3Q guidance did not change our bullish thesis, but we doubt it converted any of the bears either. On the positive side: (1) incoming CEO Brian Krzanich struck a good balance between being realistic on the core PC market but optimistic on INTC's opportunities in Compute, (2) C3Q guidance takes a negative pre off the table/provides comfort in incremental profitability and (3) CapEx reduction improves FCF and tells us that management "gets it." On the negative side: (1) full year guidance implies 7% q/q rev growth in C4Q – in- line with seasonality but perhaps aggressive in the eyes of many investors, (2) full year guidance implies a C4Q GM of 60.3%, down 70bps q/q on UP rev and (3) commentary that Bay Trail is not expected to cannibalize Haswell could seem "hopeful." Our take: (1) INTC is making progress leveraging its manufacturing advantage into new markets (per the Galaxy Tab win at Samsung and a quadrupling of Tablet volume from C1Q to C3Q), (2) the core PC market, while not robust, is more stable than most investors fear and (3) INTC's operating model is more flexible, resilient and profitable as the Company exploits low-end opportunities."
Kevin Cassidy, Stifel Nicolaus: Reiterates a Buy rating and a $28 price target. "While Intel's earnings report and guidance did not provide many surprises, we were encouraged as new CEO Brian Krzanich confirmed his strategic plan for increasing emphasis on the company's Atom System-On-Chip (SoC) product line. Mr. Krzanich clearly pointed to Intel enabling Atom-based PCs with price points in the $300-$400 range. We view Intel's leadership in semiconductor process technology as uniquely qualifying the company to optimize processor designs for a wide range of performance/battery life/price trade-offs."
Stacy Rasgon, Bernstein Research: Reiterates an Underperform rating and an $18 price target. "While Intel took the opportunity to reset the bar somewhat, we question whether expectations have been lowered enough. Computing units and ASPs are now forecast down, putting significant pressure on the Data Center business to take up the slack with very aggressive goals for the second half. We see potential for further downward revisions […] Additionally, the company seemed still uncertain as to the true likely trajectory of PCs (along with all of us), indicating they would have a better view in August or September as orders and inventories were placed (or not)."
Christopher Danely, J.P. Morgan: Reiterates a Neutral rating and cuts his price target a dollar to $18. "Despite the more realistic outlook, we believe the company's 2H guidance remains too aggressive as Intel expects double-digit growth in 2H13, which hasn't happened since 2009. In order for Intel to achieve its full year guidance for flat YoY growth in 2013, Intel requires 12% revenue growth in 2H13, which has not happened since 2009. As a result, we do not expect Intel to achieve its full year guidance due to muted PC demand and we believe there remains downside to guidance and Consensus estimates.
Bobby Burleson, Canaccord Genuity: Reiterates a Hold rating and a $20 price target. "While customers built a little inventory for PC client in Q2, management expects slight sequential PC growth in Q3 with strong growth for data center through the remainder of 2013. Our favorite PC weighted name remains AMD given a backdrop of slight PC growth and a strong ramp for game consoles that could drive meaningful upside to Q3 expectations."
James Covello, Goldman Sachs: Maintains a Sell rating and a $16 price target. "Intel lowered its full-year forecast, and this is the fourth time in the last five quarters that Intel has guided out- quarter sales below the Street. We believe Intel has had to guide down so frequently because its full-year outlooks have been too high. We attribute this to management struggling to accept how cannibalistic tablets and handsets are to PCs. (2) Even though Intel guided down, we believe there is further risk. Intel's implied 4Q13 sales growth is up 6-7% qoq, a number it has achieved only once in the last five years. (3) Intel's implied 4Q13 gross margin guidance is flat to down, which we have long argued is the metric that the stock is best correlated with. We believe many investors were looking for sequential growth in margins for the rest of 2013 and into 2014, so even if Intel is able to hit its revenue targets, potentially lower margins will be a headwind. (4) We believe the stock is expensive, as it was already trading at 13X forward consensus EPS despite secular challenges, and Street estimates are likely to move lower post the call. As we have written previously, Intel would need to fully reset both its P&L guidance and spend significantly less on capex for us to be more positive."

Shares of online properties listing impresarios Trulia (TRLA) are down $4.92, or almost 14%, at $31.51, in late trading, after the company this afternoon reported Q4 revenue that slightly exceeded analysts' estimates, but missed on the bottom line, projected this quarter's revenue slightly above consensus, and projected the full year's revenue higher.
Revenue in the three months ending in December rose 141% to $49.73 million, yielding EPS of 3 cents a share.
Analysts, on average, had been modeling $49.4 million and a 7-cent profit.
For the current quarter, the company sees revenue of $53.1 million to $53.5 million, versus the average Street estimate for $53.1 million.
For the full year, the company sees revenue of $245 million to $248 million, above the average $245 million estimate.
This afternoon's report follows yesterday's Q4 report from fellow listings site Zillow (Z), which reported revenue higher than consensus and EPS in line, and a forecast for revenue in the quarter and the full year that was also higher.
Zillow shares today rose 15 cents to close at $90.

Apple Patent for "Slap Bracelet" Wearable Device Discovered
Tiffany Kaiser
February 21, 2013 11:17 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
The patent application is for a "Bi-stable spring with flexible display"
A patent application filed by Apple indicates that it certainly is working on a wearable device, but it will work much like a "slap bracelet."
The patent application, discovered Thursday, was for a "Bi-stable spring with flexible display." It was filed in August 2011.
According to the application, the bi-stable spring would be made out of thin steel and wrapped in fabric covering, then heat-sealed. The display would be located on one side of the bracelet (overlaid with an adhesive) and the logic board and battery would be placed on the other side. Another idea shows that display mounted
right to the bracelet
and framed by a thicker fabric.
It is made for universal fit of any wrist (or other body part where the user wishes to wear it). The patent described sensors for "end-detection," which means these sensors can turn off an unused portion of the bracelet (for smaller wrists) that is covered by the bracelet overlap.
Other on-board sensors, like gyroscopes and accelerometers, can be used while the bracelet is in curved form (around the wrist) to detect when it is being worn and provide an uninterrupted screen. This would also make sure the screen's information is in the right position for the user to see it.
As far as the information provided on the display, the patent says this:
"With a touch screen user input a user can accomplish a number of different tasks including adjusting the order of a current playlist, and reviewing a list of recent phone calls. A response to a current text message can even be managed given a simple virtual keyboard configuration across the face of the flexible display."
Further, the battery could be powered by solar panels and kinetic energy to increase efficiency. It will also likely feature wireless charging for the internal battery.
Just last week, it was reported that Apple was working on
a smart watch device
The tech giant is already in talks with manufacturer Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., and Hon Hai has been working on new technologies for wearable devices, such as more efficient displays and chips at that size.

Family: Motacillidae, Wagtails and Pipits view all from this family
Description ADULT Has heavily streaked brown upperparts and two white wing bars. Dark eye is emphasized by pale buffy face; note the whitish throat, lores, and supercilium. Underparts are pale, flushed buff on flanks and breast and mostly unmarked, except for streaking on breast. Legs are pale pinkish. JUVENILE Similar to adult, but with more striking wing bars and scaly-looking back.
Dimensions Length: 6 1/4-7" (16-18 cm)
Habitat Rare and declining species, favoring short-grass prairies for nesting (present mainly May-Sep); winters from southern U.S. (mainly Texas) south to Mexico, and favors rough grassland with more bare ground at this time.
Observation Tips Striking white outer tail feathers (seen in flight) aid identification.
Range Plains, Southeast, Southwest, Rocky Mountains, Western Canada, Texas
Voice Song is a descending series of breezy whistles; call is a thin squeet.
Discussion Prairie specialist. Secretive and far easier to hear (in spring at least) than to see: male performs aerial song display for long periods. Otherwise, skulks in short grasses and hard to flush. Does not bob tail. Sexes are similar.

A touch fancy, these toasts topped with Havarti and figs are not your everyday appetizer, but they have everyday ease—made in 20 minutes.
If you buy honey in a squeeze bottle, it works great for this recipe. Or, if you have honey in a jar and it seems too thick to drizzle, heat it for a few seconds in the microwave first. Don't heat it too long, or it will become runny.
Mission figs, also known as Black Mission figs, are purple-black in color and are a good choice for this recipe since they have very small seeds.

"How'd you do that pic?"
Easily, the most frequent questions I get are about the stuff I do with photos, especially when I trick one out like the New Years image yesterday.
Here is a side-by-side comparison with the original:
A few of the things I did:
- cropping
- color correction
- sharpening
- protruding from the image frame edges
- added graphics
- used several techniques to make if feel "3D" and...
- I got a better "face" for Sami off another photo.
I've been jotting down an outline for "Digital Photography Guide: Volume Two" (here's Volume One if you missed it). Is this type of "fun with photos" something you would like to see a volume dedicated too? I'll probably end up doing MANY volumes on digital photography since everyone seems to enjoy it so much.
But... one volume at a time. Here's your chance to tell me what you want to see in Volume Two.
Enter your suggestion or wish for "Digital Photography: Volume Two" in this MckLinky Top X list. If you come up with an idea or suggestion that actually appears in Volume Two, you'll get the eBook FREE!
