Guest post by Bitcoin Author, Speaker, and Investor Max Wright.
I have met and interviewed Mike Hearn a number of times at various crypto currency events. He has been one of my favorite bitcoin advocates over the past few years and sadly yesterday he published an article on his blog declaring "Bitcoin is Broken".
The article was such a bombshell that the New York Times picked up the story and most likely Hearn's article was responsible for drop in bitcoin price of 10% in the following hours.
Hearn has always been a straight shooter and that has made him a lot of enemies but personally I have valued his directness. In almost every interview he is quick to remind you that Bitcoin is an experiment and that you should only play with it money that you can afford to lose. Wise words indeed.
Having said that he quit his job at Google 6 years ago to dedicate himself full time to furthering the cause of bitcoin so there was no question he was behind the project with all his might during that time. So what brought about the change of heart?
In Hearn's article he cited a 4 main reasons why he decided to walk away from the bitcoin ecosystem.
- The mining power has become centralized
- The miners with the power to make decisions are making bad decision (namely BIP 101)
- The blockchain will soon be at its capacity and will not be able to grow further without BIP 101
- The flow of information is no longer decentralized but rather curated by moderators.
I have been saying for along time that Bitcoin is trending towards centralization. Hearn said that recently he was at a conference and over 50% of the worlds hashing power was controlled by 5 guys up on stage. And that is raw hashing power. If you think about pools it is even more centralized.
This is definitely a significant problem. I would argue that is bitcoin is not decentralized then it is nothing. That single fact is one of its most appealing attributes to many, especially those in the libertarian camp.
But I think it is Hearn's second point that is even more telling. He explains that the miners are incentivized to do something that is against the benefit of Bitcoin. This is a perverse incentive and he is correct.
I have argued a number of times that this is in fact a huge design flaw of bitcoin. The challenge is that miners are not stake holders. They are not the ones who hold bitcoin first and foremost although many of them do of course. They are first and foremost miners. For the vast majority of decisions about the protocol this works out fine because for the most part what is good for bitcoin is good for miners. But where a disaster happens is on those few occasions when what is good for stake holders is not god for miners.
I often use this analogy Imagine a night club where the bouncer has all the power the owner normally has. He can set drink prices, Hire and fire DJ's etc. For the vast majority of decisions what is good for the nightclub is good for the bouncer. The bouncer wants the bar to be popular so he can get tips to let people cut the line, the better the clientele the better the tips etc.
If the bouncer will most likely make a lot of decisions identical to the nightclub owner if they have the same skill set. But every now and again a decision comes up where the bouncer will sensibly choose differently. For example: How much should the bouncer get paid? When this issue comes up the bouncer will not act in the best interest of the nightclub but rather pay himself a high salary.
This is the problem with the bitcoin protocol. The miners are the wrong people to have the power. they are the bouncers. they secure the network. It is the stake holders, the ones who actually own bitcoin who should decide. One satoshi. One vote.
That is and has always been the way a cryptocurrency should work. Can bitcoin pivot and come up with such a system. Well only time will tell but the course has been charted already by at least one alt coin that I am familiar with. Bitshares has successfully implemented that system some time ago

The regional and sector categories are calculated as a 3-month moving
average, whereas the national index, design contracts and inquiries are monthly
About the AIA Architecture Billings Index
The Architecture Billings Index (ABI), produced by the AIA Economics &
Market Research Group, is a leading economic indicator that provides an
approximately nine to twelve month glimpse into the future of nonresidential
construction spending activity. The diffusion indexes contained in the full
report are derived from a monthly "Work-on-the-Boards" survey that is sent to a
panel of AIA member-owned firms. Participants are asked whether their billings
increased, decreased, or stayed the same in the month that just ended as
compared to the prior month, and the results are then compiled into the ABI.
These monthly results are also seasonally adjusted to allow for comparison to
prior months. The monthly ABI index scores are centered around 50, with scores
above 50 indicating an aggregate increase in billings, and scores below 50
indicating a decline. The regional and sector data are formulated using a
three-month moving average. More information on the ABI and the analysis of its
relationship to construction activity can be found in the recently released
White Paper, Designing the Construction Future: Reviewing the Performance and
Extending the Applications of the AIA's Architecture Billings Index on the AIA
web site.

Holland, Michigan. Nov. 1, 2014: Creating a clear
medical identity with a wow factor for Trident Technical College's Nursing and
Science Building in North Charleston, S.C., was accomplished with the use of a
Dri-Design Wall Panel System. The structure features 24,378 square feet of
0.080-inch aluminum wall panels from Dri-Design. The panels were finished in
Champagne paint and Copper Anodized and Dark Bronze Anodized finishes.
Dri-Design worked closely with Architectural firm LS3P, Charleston, to create
the customized panel layout. The installation emphasizes the differences in the
Copper Anodized and Dark Bronze anodized finishes that add depth and dimension
to the facade. These finishes were selected to mimic copper and bronze. The
panels, distributed by Custom Exteriors, Muskegon, Mich., also coordinate with
the aluminum windows.
"Our sales and engineering staff are connected with design and construction
teams from the planning to installation phases to ensure the quality of the
layout and installation of the Dri-Design panels," said Brad Zeeff, president of
Dri-Design. "A lot of coordination is required to create what appears to be a
random display of panels, and our employees thrive at meeting customers' needs."
Trident Technical College has set the bar high as a sustainable leader; the
building is designed to LEED Silver certification. The campus supports an
initiative called TTC Green, with a goal to help "create a sustainable future
that will positively impact the college, community and beyond." Dr. Mary
Thornley, president of the college, signed the American College and University
Presidents Climate Commitment pledging to reduce and ultimately neutralize
greenhouse gas emissions. "TTC Green recognizes that Trident Tech has the
responsibility to perpetuate green lifestyles through daily operations and
knowledgeable graduates who possess the skills to support sustainability
efforts. We are part of a community that thinks in terms of green initiatives,
and we plan to continue to expand TTC's role as a good community citizen," said
Dr. Russell Darnall, director of TTC Green.
As a sustainable showcase, The Nursing and Science Building features: innovative
wastewater technologies for rainwater harvesting and reuse; low-mercury
lighting; photovoltaics; regional and recycled materials, including certified
wood; and 36 percent energy use reductions. The metal panels contribute to the
green designation because the single-skin metal is made with recycled content
and can be easily recycled. Also, the Dri-Design Wall Panel System is
environmentally friendly because Dri-Design panels do not require sealants,
gaskets or butyl tape for installation. Additionally, Dri-Design panels do not
have a plastic core, like that of many aluminum composite products.
The efforts of LS3P and school officials have lead to a sustainable teaching
tool that gives students the resources they need to succeed in their chosen
profession. In part, the facility has changed the way students learn and faculty
work by creating a natural environment that is very technology driven. The
90,000-square-foot facility houses the nursing school and associate science
program with laboratories, classrooms, study and meeting spaces, and faculty
"The architectural metal element is a stunning design feature," said Daniel J.
Scheaffer, AIA, LEED BD+C, senior associate with LS3P. "The high-tech material
reflects the building's high-tech healthcare curriculum taking place inside. The
subtle variations in the panels create an earthy, healthy feel appropriate to
the function of the facility."

"MORIN's panels came in at half the price of the other product we were looking
at," says Cynthia Malinowski, architectural designer at AE Design Group of
Southington, Conn. "The MORIN panels were limited to 16 inches in width, so we
were able to play with the colors a little more. It was a funky design, a
checkerboard pattern."
MORIN's F-12 concealed fastener panels were installed vertically – 10 rows of
eight-foot panels. To ensure the Regal Blue and Silversmith color pattern came
together the way it was intended, Malinowski was onsite during the installation.
The F-12 panels are 12 inches wide with a panel depth of 1-1/2 inches. MORIN
offers the F-12, and most of its products, in Galvalume/Zincalume, aluminum,
stainless steel, zinc and copper.
Kensington Glass of Berlin, Conn., installed the F-12 concealed fastener wall
panels. According to project manager Frank Carfora, it was the first time his
crew had ever installed panels from MORIN and it required no special training.
"We were called in because the east side of the tower had to be installed with
swing staging and we've got all our own equipment," Carfora said. "We've worked
with similar products, but this is the first time with MORIN panels. The product
came shipped properly, we didn't have any damage so we didn't have to re-order
any extra pieces."
Carfora said the only challenge in the four-week project came when the drawings
were changed half-way through the installation to accommodate some company
signage. "We had to take about 20 pieces down and move them over, but it was
pretty easy. It all worked out, the owner's very happy with it and, most
importantly, it doesn't leak," he said.

Will Rogers World Airport (2005)
Two prominent Oklahoma City landmarks, constructed more than 20 years apart
and both featuring SOLARBAN® glass by PPG Industries, are part of a company
retrospective highlighting nearly a half-century of development in
energy-efficient glass.
Completed in 1984 and featuring classic Modernist glass-and-steel design,
Leadership Square features two 16-story towers constructed with Solarban 560-8
TWINDOW® glass by PPG. As a cutting-edge product of the era – developed
partially in response to the oil crises of the 1970s – reflective Solarban
Twindow glass helped large commercial buildings such as those in Leadership
Square reduce air-conditioning use by blocking the sun's heat energy while
sacrificing its ability to light interior spaces.
Conversely, the new terminal at Will Rogers World Airport, which opened 21 years
later, features Solarban 60 glass. Introduced in the early 2000s, this advanced
product combines the neutral, non-reflective appearance of clear glass with the
ability to block more than 60 percent of the sun's heat energy. Consequently, it
enables buildings such as Will Rogers World Airport to cut energy use by
daylighting interior spaces and reducing air- conditioning demand.
PPG is currently celebrating the 50th anniversary of Solarban glass. Since the
brand name was launched in 1964, it has come to signify industry leadership in
environmentally advanced architectural glass. Today, the Solarban brand
encompasses a broad range of high-performance solar control, low-emissivity
(low-e) glasses – including many formulated with PPG's proprietary triple-silver
coating technology – that help architects design and construct more sustainable

Owings & Merrill (SOM)
Trade Center I & II, (Great West Plaza), 1980, SOM
Broadway, 1980, Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates
Broadway (Holy Ghost), 1985, Fentress Architects
As the cultural and financial center of the Rockies, Denver features a
skyline with signature buildings designed by some of the country's most renowned
architectural firms, such as Skidmore, Owings & Merrill; Kohn Pedersen Fox
Associates; and the city's own Fentress Architects.
During the building boom of the 1980s, these three firms designed six prominent
glass-and-steel towers in downtown Denver (pictured above), each incorporating
SOLARBAN® glass. Introduced 50 years ago by PPG Industries (NYSE:PPG),
Pittsburgh, Solarban glass heralded a new era of environmentally-advanced glass
by being one of the first coated glasses engineered to reflect heat away from
buildings to reduce air-conditioning use.
Today, the Solarban brand encompasses a broad range of significantly
higher-performing solar control, low-emissivity (low-e) glasses that help
architects design and construct more sustainable buildings featuring glass that
transmits daylight and blocks solar heat, thereby reducing heating, cooling and
lighting demands.
Although glass technology has evolved significantly since Denver's Anaconda
Tower (now 555 17th Street) was constructed in 1978, Solarban glass is still
enabling each of these famous buildings to meet the energy and environmental
demands of today's green building movement. In fact, due in part to their use of
energy-efficient Solarban glass, all six buildings have earned LEED®
certification for existing buildings (LEED-EB) at the Silver level from the U.S.
Green Building Council, and all are ENERGY STAR® certified.

No Change for Construction Materials Prices in August
Construction materials prices were unchanged in August but are 1.7 percent
higher than this time last year, according to a Sept. 16 producer price index (PPI)
release by the Department of Labor. Inputs to nonresidential construction, which
also remained unchanged in August, are 1 percent higher than in August of 2013.
"In general, nonresidential construction remains stable, despite the recent
uptick in demand for inputs in North America," said Associated Builders and
Contractors Chief Economist Anirban Basu. "There are a number of factors at
work, including an unexpectedly weak European economy and a surprisingly strong
U.S. dollar. While the Euro has been falling in value, the dollar has been
rising throughout much of the year against other major currencies including the
Japanese Yen and British Pound. One implication of this has been an increase in
the purchasing power of the dollar, which suppresses input price increases."
Crude energy materials prices fell 4.9 percent in August and are 6 percent lower
than one year ago. Natural gas prices fell by 12.6 percent in August and have
now fallen in five of the past six months; however, on a year-over year basis,
natural gas prices have expanded for 21 consecutive months. Overall, the
nation's final demand prices, as measured by the PPI, remained flat in August
but are up 2.2 percent year over year.
"Considering that this summer has been as mild as the winter was harsh, it's not
the slightest bit surprising that energy prices have dropped in recent months,"
said Basu. "In fact, 80 percent of the decline in overall goods prices, which
were down 0.3 percent in August, is attributable to falling energy prices."

Builder Confidence Rises
Two Points in August
Builder confidence in the market for newly built, single-family homes rose two
points to 55 on the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing
Market Index (HMI) for August, released today. This third consecutive monthly
gain brings the index to its highest level since January.
"As the employment picture brightens, builders are seeing a noticeable increase
in the number of serious buyers entering the market," said NAHB Chairman Kevin
Kelly, a home builder and developer from Wilmington, Del. "However, builders
still face a number of challenges, including tight credit conditions for
borrowers and shortages of finished lots and labor."
Derived from a monthly survey that NAHB has been conducting for 30 years, the
NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index gauges builder perceptions of current
single-family home sales and sales expectations for the next six months as
"good," "fair" or "poor." The survey also asks builders to rate traffic of
prospective buyers as "high to very high," "average" or "low to very low."
Scores from each component are then used to calculate a seasonally adjusted
index where any number over 50 indicates that more builders view conditions as
good than poor.
All three HMI components posted gains in August. The indices gauging current
sales conditions and expectations for future sales each rose two points to 58
and 65, respectively. The index gauging traffic of prospective buyers increased
three points to 42.
"Each of the three components of the HMI registered consecutive gains for the
past three months, which is a positive sign that builder confidence appears to
be firming following an uneven spring," said NAHB Chief Economist David Crowe.
"Factors contributing to this rise include sustained job growth, historically
low mortgage rates and affordable home prices, which are helping to unleash
pent-up demand."
Every region saw a gain in its three-month moving average HMI score in August.
The Midwest posted a seven-point increase to 55 and the West registered a
four-point gain to 56. The Northeast posted a two-point gain to 38 and the South
was up one point to 52.
Editor's Note: The NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index is strictly the product
of NAHB Economics, and is not seen or influenced by any outside party prior to
being released to the public. HMI tables can be found at

Combined Single - and
Multifamily Gains Boost Housing Starts in July
Fueled by strong single- and multifamily growth, nationwide housing starts rose
15.7 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.093 million units in
July, the highest level since November 2013, according to newly released figures
from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Census
"A return to production levels over one million confirms that consumer
confidence continues to improve," said Kevin Kelly, chairman of the National
Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and a home builder and developer from
Wilmington, Del. "Propelled by a healthier economy, more and more people are
feeling ready to buy a home."
Single-family housing starts were up 8.3 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual
rate of 656,000 units in July, while multifamily production jumped 28.9 percent
to 437,000 units.
Regionally in July, combined single- and multifamily housing production rose in
the Northeast, South and West, with respective gains of 44 percent, 29 percent
and 18.6 percent. Total production fell by 24.8 percent in the Midwest from an
unusually high June level.
"July's increase in starts combined with rising builder sentiment proves that
June's production dip was more of an anomaly than a reversal of the market,"
said NAHB Chief Economist David Crowe. "We should continue to see a gradual,
consistent recovery throughout the rest of the year."
Issuance of building permits registered an 8.1 percent increase to a seasonally
adjusted annual rate of 1.052 million units in July. Multifamily permits rose
21.5 percent to 412,000 units while single-family permits increased by 0.9
percent to 640,000 units.
The Northeast, South and West registered overall permit gains of 18.8 percent,
9.6 percent and 7.2 percent, respectively, while the Midwest posted a 0.6
percent loss.

Apparently the folks in Boise, Idaho have more political clout than we realized. After being snubbed from college football's national championship game for what feels like the 137th straight year, members of a congressional subcommittee recently took the first step to stop the tyrannical rain of the BCS and ensure that every school across the country (even you, Rutgers) gets a fair chance to play for the game's top trophy.
The House Commerce and Energy Group (who dabble in a little college football anarchy on the weekends), voted near unanimously to ban the NCAA from referring to the BCS title game as a "Championship" until they adopt a proper playoff.
The only dissenter, John Barrow, a Democrat from Georgia said ""With all due respect, I really think we have more important things to spend our time on." Clearly he feels there's not enough hours in the day to ruin legislation on health care, immigration, and social security.
Before the folks at mid-major schools like TCU, Cincinnati, and Florida State get excited, it's important to note that this is simply the first stage in what will be a long process.
The proposal must pass through various other channels before becoming a law, which means there will be plenty of time for common sense and equality to be shut down in true Congressional style.
It's also worth noting that Barack Obama promised to help create a playoff system after he was elected claiming "I'm going to throw my weight around a little bit. I think it's the right thing to do."
Obama made his first big push to keep his promise by distancing himself from the vote and refusing to comment on the situation. Atta boy! Wait to see if it passes, then pick a side.
Is this a promising start in the fight to eliminate the BCS? Or simply a waste of effort from people who should be focusing on further plummeting the financial future of this country into failed companies?

veganmofo 11: more native foods–what?!
After not having visited Native Foods in for-friggin'-ever, here I am again for the second time in one VeganMoFo! (And dig it: The sandwich I had as a special last time is now on the menu.)
I went again with my Driftwood editor Holly after a printer visit (exciting!) and fueled up in a super busy vegan restaurant in the suburbs (exciting!). Again, can't get over these out-of-the-way vegan joints being filled with such a varied group. Are they all vegan? There's no way. But they're all eating vegan food. Harm reduction, guys.
Up top is Holly's Mexican Cobb Salad, which I was—I'm ashamed to admit it—straight-up jealous of. Look at that thing. Gorgeous. Can I make that at home? Yeah, there's no reason I can't…except that it looks like a lot of pieces and…ugh, bored even writing about it. I want someone to make it for me. Enter Native Foods.
Seriously, I'm usually the winner at ordering. I'm not saying that to impress you. It's just the way it is. We go out and order, and all my friends tuck in and look at my food and go, "Aww, I should have ordered that." But I would have to say this was a draw. My Chicken Run Ranch, hold the ranch, didn't look half as sexy as that salad, but it was solid. My side o' slaw, however, was a huge disappointment. Way overdressed, it still was missing some sort of flavor. Lacked zazz. This was, I think, the first thing I've ordered from Native that I didn't even bother to finish.
So yeah, there you go. Double dose of the Native. Bringing vegan food to the unsuspecting masses. Gold stars.

Lissome lass Shruti Haasan has everything going right for her. Daughter of Kollywood megastar Kamal Haasan, she made her debut opposite Surya in 7aam Arivu and then came Dhanush's 3.Fans and friends did appreciate the duo's performance while their relationship off the screen was of much talk.
Putting aside the rumors, Shruti has come out in the open confessing her affinity for an actor. The lucky man is from neither Chennai nor Sri Lanka. She lay down her inhibitions admitting her crush on one Ryan Gosling, publicly. We came to know that Ryan is a Canadian actor who is equally multi-talented as a musician and a restaurant owner. Shruti went on to say that other than him, there is no one in her life. As a young kid Ryan played his first role in Disney's Mickey Mouse Club, later donning the role of Hercules, winning hearts of beautiful girls including our own Janani. For the records, Ryan has dated Sandra Bullock, Canadian actress Rachel McAdams, Kat Dennings, Blake Lively, Olivia Wilde and now is having a fling with Hollywood's sexy lady Eva Mendes !! We do know he can sing, dance and is an expert at cooking things up. 🙂 But what about the long list Shruti?

Texas Rangers vs. Toronto Blue Jays ALDS Game 3 - 10/11/15 MLB Pick, Odds, and Prediction
Toronto Blue Jays (93-71) at Texas Rangers (90-74)
MLB Baseball: Sunday, October 11, 2015 at 8:10 pm (Globe Life Park)
M Estrada (13-8) (3.13) vs. M Perez (3-6) (4.66)
The Line: Texas Rangers +120 / Toronto Blue Jays -130 --- Over/Under: 9 See the Latest Odds
The Texas Rangers host the Toronto Blue Jays in game number three of their ALDS on Sunday night.
The Texas Rangers were once again given little chance of defeating the Blue Jays on Friday and once again proved the doubters wrong with a 6-4, 14 inning win for a 2-0 series lead. Cole Hamels was at the top of his game with all four runs allowed but just two were earned on six hits over seven frames. The bullpen saw five hurlers toss seven shutout innings with Ross Ohlendorf striking out the side in the 14th to pick up the save. Texas totaled eleven hits and walked four times with Hanser Alberto knocking in two with Delino DeShields Jr. driving in a run and scoring twice while Rougned Odor scored two times including the winner in the 14th. The Blue Jays look to get their first win of the ALDS when Marco Estrada takes the mound Sunday. Estrada has had a strong season with a 13-8 record and 3.13 ERA over 181 innings.
USA TODAY Sports
The big offense of the Toronto Blue Jays was held in check for the second straight day and the result has the team staring at a 2-0 series deficit heading to Texas for game number three of the ALDS. Starter Marcus Stroman threw the ball well with four runs plated (three earned)on five hits through seven innings. LaTroy Hawkins absorbed the loss with two runs plated in the 14th on three hits in 2/3 of an inning. The Jays logged eight hits and walked twice with Ben Revere and Russell Martin singling in runs while Josh Donaldson slammed a solo homer. The Rangers turn to left hander Martin Perez to take a 3-0 lead in the ALDS on Sunday. Perez has gone 3-6 in 14 starts this season while posting a 4.46 ERA over 78.2 innings.
The Blue Jays seem to have the edge on the mound with Estrada but their offense hasn't been pounding the baseball. Perez certainly isn't a great pitcher but I like the way the Rangers are hitting and with the momentum and home crowd behind them maybe Texas can get this one…

About Thomas K.Close
View Full Profile
Strong instrumental playing begins with a solid understanding of the fundamentals of music and the simple act of making a sound from the instrument. Students learn to play music by ear first, and are later introduced to music notation. More advanced lessons emphasize sight-reading, expression, and improvisation.
A woodwind player since age 10, Thomas has experience as a performer and teacher. His previous education has included methodology classes on teaching specific instruments, and he is available to teach intermediate and beginning saxophone lessons.

If your child's bored, distracted, or just needs a constructive hobby, music is a great place to get them interested in something that will help them feel better about themselves, and the effects will be felt across everything else they do, through better studying habits to a more patient, diligent work ethic.
It's also relaxing! Stressed about work? Need an escape? Maybe you want to sound like [insert piano player here]. Everybody has the power to learn an instrument. Seriously, there's no such thing as "talent." Just start lessons and get practicing! It really is that simple, and I'll guide you through every step of the way.
I have a diverse background teaching students of all ages, from 3-year-olds to retirees alike, customizing what we learn to the individual student. We'll learn how to read music just as easily as you read words; improvise and compose music of our own; and feel good playing any style: classical, jazz, rock, and all. My experience as a working musician in films, musical theater, and pop music, as well as classical concert music, allows me to appreciate and teach styles that many other instructors overlook, and I know full well that learning an instrument is not about becoming a professional; it's about being able to connect to others or oneself through music… and also to just have fun! There's no need to learn music we don't like! It's not about stuffing Beethoven into your kids' ears… we just want to make music, be that Beethoven or Billy Joel.
Music lasts a lifetime. I know that's a terrible cliché, but it's true, and few other skills can claim that. I don't want to sugarcoat it: it takes time to learn an instrument. It takes practice, and sometimes it's frustrating. But the results are well worth it, and like a snowball rolling down a hill, the longer you do it, the faster you get… or something like that. There's a legitimate analogy in there somewhere.
Now get out there and make some music! But start by signing up for lessons. I can't wait to get started!
"What's that chord?" "Why does all my music sound the same?" "How do I fix this voicing?" "I just can't get it out of my head!" …sound familiar? You've probably hit a rut. Or maybe you're just starting out. Either way, you want your music to sound new, exciting, and to come out exactly how you hear it in your head. Yes… you CAN learn to compose music, you CAN learn to be more creative, and you CAN learn to share your sound with the world.
Film music, classical, jazz… whatever your interest, all music comes from the same place, and by learning a handful of basic concepts, you can apply these to whatever style you're trying to write. Learning to emulate another musician involves knowing what they're doing. Learning to create a groundbreaking sound requires that you know what's already been done, and how to achieve it. Step by step, we'll work our way there.
We'll learn how to write cool, interesting chord progressions, how to write beautiful melodies, and how to voice chords. We'll learn how to control the mood of our music, from making it sound relaxed to adding tension wherever we want. Maybe you're trying to write for an orchestra, or just a small band. By learning the basics, you can then easily break away from what's been done and come up with something truly new… the goal of any aspiring composer!

Here's What to Know Before Buying an Instrument
Thinking about buying a new instrument? It's a big decision, as an instrument is truly an investment -- especially if you're spending several hundred dollars (or more, for higher-end brands and models) on it. Before making your purchase, you'll want to do some research. But where do you start? With so many brands out there, how do you know which ones are worth the money?

Web design and Internet marketing have become critical to the success of healthcare businesses. From medical practices and specialists to dental offices and emergency care centers, changes to the healthcare industry have made healthcare websites indispensable.
Unfortunately, while doctors and administrators know they need a strong web presence, many aren't sure what's involved in building one. To help clear up some confusion, here are four things that make a healthcare website great:
It's easy to get so lost in the details that you forget to include basic information important to first-time patients and referring medical professionals. Use the home page of your healthcare website to explain who you are, what you do, and how you can help.
Those who aren't familiar with your practice are going to want to know what kinds of healthcare services you offer, whether you work with insurers, and whether referrals are needed to book an appointment. These details are so important that you might want to post them in a few different places.
By including maps and driving directions on your website, you can cut down on phone calls, missed appointments, and instances of patient tardiness. You want your practice to be easy to find, online and off.
Every patient wants to know that they are getting the very best care. You can go a long way towards making them feel comfortable by including positive quotes and testimonials from past and existing patients on your healthcare website.
The Weblinx team knows healthcare websites inside and out. Call us today at 630-551-0334 x1 to schedule a free website consultation.

Changes I made This Year
July 12 2011
The main changes this year are feeding them both a 1to1 ratio of sugar water and also pollen patties. It has been a cool year and all of the plants are about 3 weeks behind their normal blooming time. Each hive goes through about a gallon a week. Although I only check the hives once a week so they may be going through it sooner. I only refill it once a week.
I have three hives and two of the hives are in direct sun (when it is sunny). One hive is in a more shaded spot. This hive in the more shaded spot definitely seems to be slower to reproduce. The bees in this hive also seem calmer. I have noticed this in past years and have thought of moving it to a more sunny spot because I am concerned that they also may produce less honey.

It's important to spice up your relationship and make your girl feel special even when routines have become mundane and the both of you are super comfortable with each other. It's a sweet gesture for guys to plan surprises just to see a smile on the girl's face.
Make it fun and enjoy planning. The effort will always be worth it :) Here are some ideas that we guarantee will make your girlfriend so happy!
Hearty Breakfast
Wake up earlier than your girl and get busy in the kitchen. Prepare her favourite kind of breakfast (or just buy take-out if you cooking is a bad idea :p) and let her see you first thing in the morning and begin the weekend.
Surprise Picnic
Find a place scenic and quiet. Decorate the place beforehand and bring along some food and activities to do. Eg. prepare some candles or light sticks, set up a hammock. To add on to the surprise – if she's up for it, blindfold her and lead her there.
Sneaky Love Notes
Place random post-it notes with sweet messages for her to find throughout the week. Sneak one into her bag, in-between pages of her organiser, in her room. If her phone is accessible, add a calendar reminder for your next special date and tell her how lovely she is. She will find them during the most random moments and ask "when did you put them in?!"
"Sorry… I'm busy"
Show up when she's least expecting you to appear.
Maybe you told her that you have an appointment and will be working late, then later surprise her by picking her up at her workplace. People feel most delighted when they are not expecting something. You will see a big smile on her face :)
Snack Box
Gather information on her favourite brands of candies and chocolates. Pack them into a box and tell her you have something you need to pass her. Deliver it to her on Sunday night so she can bring it to work/school on the next day. She will feel so pampered – it's a great way to a girl's heart. Sweet treats always work!
Spontaneous Getaway
It's nice to break the routine and get out of the country during the weekend for a short 2D1N getaway. Sound out her plans for the weekend without being too obvious, otherwise she might get suspicious. Then ask her to pack and bring her passport out. Refuse to reveal where you're going. Let her mind go crazy for a while trying to guess the destination. If travelling overseas is not an option, a staycation is great too!
Stay loving,

Vodafone has cemented its market-leading position after adding nearly half a million new UK customers over Christmas.
The operator took on 192,760 new contract customers in the three months leading up to Christmas, with the remaining 295,000 on prepay.
Data was a big win for Vodafone, with messaging and data up to 20.9% of the operator's UK revenue in June, and rising to 27.1% of sales.
A spokesman for Vodafone said: 'Networks are increasingly getting faster and more capable of carrying data to customers.
'This comes from devices such as handsets and data card USB modems that provide much better user experiences.
'I also think pricing had an effect, as the cost to use these services has steadily decreased.'
The number of 3G devices being taken on by UK Vodafone customers has also risen dramatically over the past nine months from nearly two million to 3.2 million.

Reverse Engineer Charts
Explore and investigate charts on sample slides to understand them better.
Author: Geetesh Bajaj
Product/Version: Microsoft PowerPoint (all versions)
Imitation is the best form of flattery – and that motto will help you create charts that are so much better! Before we proceed, let us discuss whether imitation is stealing? The answer to that question is that you must only look at imitation as a source of inspiration. And make sure that you leave your own imprint to whatever you create. You can do so by investigating the chart content well, making changes that work for you, and improvising all the time.
Did you notice something funny in the last paragraph. We promise we never did this intentionally, but we seem to have used a lot of "I" words such as imitation, inspiration, imprint, investigation, and improvising! Let's add another word to this list: influence. Make sure that you are just using a chart you reverse engineer as an influence - a very good influence.
Author Austin Kleon says in his book, Steal Like An Artist:
Your job is to collect good ideas. The more good ideas you collect, the more you can choose from to be influenced by.
Austin just introduced another "I" word on this page: ideas!
If you have sample presentations that include great charts that others have designed, then go ahead and explore them to gain some ideas! Make a copy of the slide that contains the chart you love and try to reverse engineer the chart. Look at all the options used in the chart -- even if you use a single idea from the chart you tried to reverse engineer, it is worth the time and effort. Gradually you will combine your inspiration with these ideas to cultivate your own style.

Faster and Smoother - VSH Revisited
We reconsider the provably collision resistant Very Smooth Hash and propose a small change in the design aiming to improve both performance and security. While the original proofs of security based on hardness of factoring or discrete logarithms are preserved, we can base the security on the k-sum problem studied by Wagner and more recently by Minder Sz. Sinclair. The new approach allows to output shorter digests and brings the speed of Fast VSH closer to the range of "classical" hash functions. The modified VSH is likely to remain secure even if factoring and discrete logarithms are easy, while this would have a devastating effect on the original versions. This observation leads us to propose a variant that operates modulo a power of two to increase the speed even more. A function that offers an equivalent of 128-bit collision resistance runs at 68.5 MB/s on a 2.4 CHz Intel Core 2 CPU, more than a third of the speed of SH A-256.

Measurements Day & Other Things
Wednesday, April 11, 2012
Just took my measurements. Here are the results:
Weight: 191 - 3/13/2012 (198 - 2/08/2012) -7 lbs
No idea what my weight is today since I don't own a scale. Hopefully it's moved down.
Waist: 32 - 4/11/2012 (33 - 3/26/2012, 34 - 3/12/2012) = -2 inch
Hips: 44 - 4/11/2012 (45.25 - 3/26/2012 (46 - 3/12/2012) -2 inch
Two inches off both my hips and waist! Not bad at all. I measured repeatedly to make sure (Didn't really believe it) and it's indeed true. Whoohoo!
Thigh: 27.25 (28 - 3/12/2012) -.75
Not quite an inch off my thigh, but I sort of expected that. They're so stubborn. However, I feel better about them from all the walking I've been doing and the running I've started with the SparkPeople 5k Rookie Running Program, so seeing that really isn't too much of a disappointment.
Calf: 16 - 4/11/2012 (15.75 - 3/12/2012) +.25 (?)
Plus a quarter inch?! Weird.
Upper Arm: 13 - 4/11/2012 (13.75 - 3/12/2012) -.75
Another yay!
Hip-to-waist ratio - .73 - 4/11/2012 (0.73 - 3/26/2012, 0.74 3/12/2012)
Total inches lost as of 4/11/2012: 5.5
So, not bad. Not at all, really. I've been jotting down what I eat in a journal, but haven't been measuring or calculating my calories. I've found just having to write it down holds me to a certain accountability and makes me think twice about things. I also recently finished the "Tame Your Sweet Tooth" challenge (
) and I think that helped a lot. Definitely been eating less sweets and craving them much less, too. I feel like I should be using the nutritional tracker, but one thing at a time and for now I'm just making sure I exercise and make healthy choices when it comes to eating.
So. Exercise. I've actually found something I like and look forward to. Walking outside. It's been nice enough now (Most days!) that I can actually get out there, and I really enjoy it. I didn't have an ipod when I started, but my boyfriend has been letting me borrow his (which he hasn't used in a long time anyway) and that helps.
I've also been doing strength training exercises two or three times a week. I found out the other day that I can do "real" push ups now! I've been doing the modified version for the past month or so, and I guess it's paid off. Granted, I could only do about eight with good form in a row, but that's better than before! It kind of ridiculous how excited that made me.
What's most exciting is that I started SparkPeople's 5K Your Way Rookie Running Program last week. (
) I completed week 1 and yesterday did the first day of week two. I am sort of shocked that I'm doing this, and actually completing it. Oh, and that I'm not as close to feeling like I'm going to die while actually doing it. Ha. I tried something similar a few years ago, and had a terrible time, but I think I was doing plenty wrong. This time, I think I'm doing things mostly right, and it's working. I'm actually looking forward to going out tomorrow and training. ("Training"-?! Who is this typing?! I hate exercise, don't I? . . . Wait, I guess not. Weeeeeiiiirrrdddd.)
Anyway, my final words today:

That's a quarter pound of calf muscle from all your walking and running training!
I think I am finally going to have to bite the bullet and get a darn iPod myself. I have been resisting because I am annoyed by how tuned out everybody is, but I have a new meditation CD I really must start using, and it's kinda awkward to lug my laptop to a convenient place.
Eight "real" push-ups is probably 6 more than I can do!
Keep up the great work!
