text: This is the same sensor used in the breakout board we just put in the store. It can determine barometric pressure with high precision, good for determining altitude and weather patterns! If you want to integrate this into a future project, you'll want to pick up some raw sensors. They're fairly easy to solder and our Arduino library has all the math worked out for you. You can even use the Adafruit eagle library which has this sensor as a ready-to-go package!

Book Description:A spellbinding tale of the sea: love, murder, and mysticism.At the turn of the century, a Kwakiutl warrior from British Columbia's wild northern islands raids an artifact collector's yacht to reclaim stolen sacred masks. He takes the collector's wife, Kate, as hostage on his 200-mile canoe voyage home. The collector hires Dugger, a coastal trader living on the edges of the law, to give chase in his ketch with the collector as passenger, but Dugger's financial salvation comes at a terrible price, for he is Kate's secret lover. Day and night Dugger sails the uncharted islands, through raging currents and ship-swallowing whirlpools, and the account of his pursuit is interwoven with Kate's harrowing and erotically charged journey. Based on a true story, this novel reaches its thrilling climax at the last secret, hallucinatory potlatch of the ancient Kwakiutl culture, where the history of a doomed people is melded with the fury of three hearts.

As President Obama unveiled his gun control proposals today, he highlighted mass shootings at schools in Colorado, Virginia and Connecticut. But he also mentioned another group of children, not in schools, but he said on the street corners of Chicago. More than 500 people were murdered in Chicago last year, many of them teenagers or young adults who were killed with a gun.
As NPR's Cheryl Corley reports, many in the city are counting on the president to bring that number down.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Raise your right hand and repeat after me.
CHERYL CORLEY, BYLINE: A few hours after President Obama outlined his gun measures, Chicago police officers, outfitted in dress blues, filled an assembly hall for a graduation. The department's top brass congratulated the police recruits joining the department. Leading the event was Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, the point man for President Clinton's push for gun control in the 1990s and more recently President Obama's chief of staff. Emanuel noted that the class was graduating the same day the president was offering them more tools to fight crime.
MAYOR RAHM EMANUEL: We're only as good as we have a comprehensive strategy about putting more police on the street and getting kids, guns and drugs off the street.
CORLEY: Chicagoan Annette Holt was at the White House during President Obama's address. Her teenage son, Blair, was shot to death five years ago on a Chicago bus when he shielded a fellow student from a spray of bullets.
ANNETTE HOLT: I think I've been waiting on this day since my son was killed. After we buried him, we've been on a mission to change what happens to young people, especially in the city of Chicago, because we don't want other parents to be like us.
CORLEY: Every year, the Chicago Police Department seizes more guns than any other police department in the United States - more than 7,400 guns last year. Chicago police Superintendent Garry McCarthy says nearly 300 guns have been collected so far this year. A minority of them are assault weapons. But McCarthy has consistently called for banning those weapons and says the president is right to try that.
GARRY MCCARTHY: I submit that assault weapons and high-capacity magazines are military-grade weapons that do not have a place in our society, except for in the military.
CORLEY: Activists like Colleen Daley with the Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence says the Obama measures also address an enduring problem for the city, the widespread sale of handguns.
COLLEEN DALEY: We're thrilled.
CORLEY: Daley says the group's number one priority has been making sure there's a background check for the sale of every single gun.
DALEY: We have 120,000 mental health records in the state of Illinois that have not been put in the federal background check system. That's not due to lack of effort to do it. There hasn't been funding there.
CORLEY: Harold Pollack with the Chicago Crime Lab was encouraged by the proposals too. He's one of several researchers who asked the president to loosen restrictions so researchers would be able to collect more data about guns and homicides.
HAROLD POLLACK: We need to investigate when a violent incident occurs to see if there are common patterns, you know, with other kinds of violent acts. And there's just a number of things where we have not been able to deploy the full force of the research enterprise, of the public health enterprise, to really attack gun violence with the seriousness that this subject deserves.
CORLEY: If there is anything that can help to reduce the number of gang-related shootings in Chicago, says Tio Hardiman, it's a more scientific approach. Hardiman is the head of Illinois CeaseFire, where former gang members work to intervene in tense situations. Hardiman says he's pleased with the Obama measures but thinks there still needs to be a greater push to treat Chicago violence like an epidemic.
TIO HARDIMAN: Some of the guys that shoot and kill people on the streets of Chicago, their behavior is condoned by their peers. I've heard people say: Look, I'm going to be with you whether you're right or wrong.
CORLEY: And perhaps mindful that's an attitude in some city neighborhoods where guns and gangs prevail, Chicago Mayor Emanuel plans to present a set of his own gun measures to the city council tomorrow. Cheryl Corley, NPR News, Chicago.

Why I Think the 7" iPad Will Never Happen
The 7" iPad has been long rumoured and even thought to be in production. I personally think that apple will never do such a thing. Having two tablets' on the market would not really make sense. I can understand that people would like to have a portable version of the iPad to read books and such, but that would force apple to create yet another ecosystem for developers to build and scale for. Of course you can downscale iPad apps but that would degrade the quality of the image. I think the main reason for the 7" tablet would be as an e-reader, browsing on a 7" wouldn't seem right (I have a playbook and hardly ever use it). Its not comfortable to take out when I'm out and its too small to browse when I'm home.
If we go through apple's history of products and models, they have known to have mini's and smaller versions of popular products such as iPod video, nano, shuffle (but with each smaller version of the product a crucial feature was removed ex; iPod video(more storage/larger screen)--(iPod nano/smaller screen/less memory)--(iPod shuffle/no screen). And if we look at more recent history there have been talks about a 4" iPhone, which would totally make sense because the wider screen would allow more room for a better battery and more components while allowing a slimmer profile. Once the 4' iPhone does and WILL come out, there would really be no need for a 7" tablet because of the size ratio. So thats my schpeel, do what you will with it. |

If I remember correctly, I have read somewhere that Steve Jobs actually hated the idea of a smaller iPad. I will try and find a link to that article...

Steve Jobs have hated many ideas, to then make a U-Turn on them.
I live in London and in the morning you spot a sea full of people on the tube reading on an E-Book, and guess what size they are? 6-8 inches and fit inside a purse or a chest pocket. The iPad is too large and heavy for that sort of portability and the iPhone screen is too small to comfortably read on. It is only for so long that Apple can ignore that segment. The iPod Touch is doomed and the best way to give it a second chance at life would be to increase it's screen size to 5-7 inches. That would also do well in capturing the market for low-end tabs like the Kindle Fire, which is something the iPad cannot. There will eventually need to be 7 inch iPad or the iPhone will have to be bumped up to 4.2 inches in screen size. Something will have to give. |

That's my thinking of renaming the iPad from iPad 3 to the "new" iPad.
Next year there will be the iPad 7 (inch) and the iPad 9 (inch) |

I prefer to be open minded and think positive. As a long time Apple customer, it's served me well. I have each size of MBP, MBA, and will be eager to pre-order a mid size iPad once Apple caves in to the opportunity to further expand their revenue.
Within my rather large circle of friends within the ranks of hi-tech professionals, the consensus is at least 65% of us are ready, cash in hand. A mid size iPad will be a nice compliment to our full size models, and provide one more choice. We all enjoy choices.

Measures to be introduced in coastal areas
The Health Department and the National Rural Health Mission will launch a joint awareness and preventive action drive against cholera, water-borne and acute diarrhoeal diseases in the entire coastal belt from Sunday to ensure that there are no more disease outbreaks in the locality.
All health field staff, ASHAs and voluntary workers in the coastal areas are being mobilised for the exercise, which will be carried out in Karumkulam panchayat, where a cholera case was reported, as well as the near-by panchayats of Kottukal, Vizhinjam-Mukkola and Poovar from Sunday.
The Health Department has also sounded an alert that people should be very careful about cooking mussels, which are in season now, as there is a link between shell fish and cholera outbreaks.
The cholera bacterium may also live in brackish rivers and coastal waters and mussels are found attached to rocks by the waters.
Only one case of diarrhoea was reported at Pulluvila CHC on Saturday. So far, 22 cases of diarrhoea have been reported. Apart from the two cases already confirmed, no other cholera case was reported.
The department is also collecting daily the samples of the fresh water being distributed in tanker lorries for testing.
There has also been some speculation that the 2,000-odd pit latrines could have led to contaminated soil coming to the surface.

The Soto OD-1RX Micro Regulator Stove is built upon the same award winning design as the OD-1R stove. The OD-1RXh has a few upgrades over it's predecessor. First, the OD-1RX stove has been designed to allow the pot to be positioned closer to the flame, making it more difficult for wind to penetrate the flame. This increases efficiency and boil time. The burner head has also been redesigned into a concave design that also the burner head sides to act as a mini-windscreen. Second, the stove's pot support is removable and swappable. Regardless of the pot size, you will be able to find the right size pot support for your need. Include the features of the Micro Regulator and the OD-1RX is one of the best lightweight canister stoves around. Gas canister not included.

This stove really is a Wind Master
By JamesS
from Washington
Comments about OD-1RX WindMaster Stove:
I got this little stove as a backup/replacement for my Soto OD-1R. I am amazed at how well it works in windy conditions. I first tested it on my workbench with a fan and it kept working great even at higher fan settings. I've taken it out on a couple trips and purposely chose windy or at least breezy places to set it up as a test and it worked great. It truly does master the wind with only a few little changes to the original. I also like the new pot support - it's easy to install and works well. I foresee no need to purchase the four prong version. I've got some reservations about a previous review saying this stove would work well in subzero conditions. My experience with the OD-1R leads me to believe otherwise. Once the temps get down to about 15 degrees or so butane stoves just do not work well and the OD-1R with its micro regulator was no exception. I haven't tested this version of the OD-1R in that temperature range but I will soon. Perhaps the next iteration will be a tank inversion model that really will work in sub freezing temps.
Alaska Backpacking
By Ken
from Reno, NV
This is my second Soto Wind Master stove. It worked flawlessly on a 10 day backpacking trip to Alaska under some fairly harsh conditions. In fact, my guide had an off brad stove that was failing on him, so I gave him mine for all the great work he did for me when I left! The bush is no place to have a stove you survive on fail in the field. I was happy to get another one when I got home, thank you.
best stove for me ever
By StevieQ
from Castro Valley, CA
This is not the lightest stove, but it is about the lightest stove with a built-in igniter and wind shrould. To top it off, it works in winter conditions. I put the stove and an iso-butane caniter in the freezer for about 6 hours. When I took it out and lit it, it started like a champ as if the stove was running in warm weather. Immediately switched the cold canister to a typical needle valve stove (one made by Kovea) and the Kovea stove barely stayed lit. Whatever the so-called micro-regulator does to make the Soto Windmaster work in sub zero weather I don't know, but I onlhhy know that it works. I haven't yet tried it on a trip, but I have no doubt it works in freezing weather as claimed.I bought the optional 4 prong pot support that although it adds about 0.7 oz., the added stability makes it worth the weight.

Judaic Treasures of the
Jacob Zevi Sobel (1831-1913), born in Lithuania, received rabbinic ordination and taught at a yeshiva, but, turning away from orthodoxy, he went to America in 1876. A year later, he published a small volume of poems in Hebrew and Yiddish, Shir Zahav li-Khevod Yisrael ha-Zaken (A Golden Song in Honor of Israel, the Ancient), New York, 1877, which has the distinction of being both the first Yiddish book and the first book of Hebrew poems published in America. The poems, really not much more than doggerel, celebrate the Jewish people, America, and the Hebrew language. On the title page is a poem in German:
Oh say it to all,
Open and free;
A Jew I am,
And a Jew I will be!
and a poem in Yiddish (translated from the Hebrew):
Israel, the Ancient
These golden songs,
I wrote, O brothers mine,
To prove and demonstrate
With energy and might:
The poems our people write
Are important, noble, great!Our holy tongue,
For which we long,
Blossoming in flower
Uplifts the Jew,
With power true,
To courage, pride and power!
Sobel spent his last years in Chicago, teaching Hebrew and writing for the Hebrew and Yiddish press.
Masekhet Bikkurim min Talmud Yerushalmi (Tractate "First Fruits" of the Palestinian Talmud), Chicago, 1887 and 1890, is the first printing of a section of the Talmud in America. Published with three commentaries by Rabbi Abraham Eliezer Alperstein of Congregation Ohabei Shalom Mariapoler (Lovers of Peace of Mariapol) in Chicago, the title-page text is in an artistic frame of base and columns, topped by crowned lions supporting a majestic crown. The typography, in the classic style of Talmudic printing of text surrounded by commentary, compares favorably with the finest European typography. In the Introduction, Rabbi Alperstein commends friends in New York, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, and Montreal who made the book's publication possible, and also extols his congregation for its warmth and generosity.
In the second printing, the ninety-six pages remain the same, but the title page now has a brief Hebrew poetic dirge added:
Favored was I by the Lord
In days of wretched poverty,
In the country of my wandering,
In the city of my distress and disaster,
My honor was cast to the ground,
My glory violated.
Robbed of my abundance and increase,
My house lacked for food.
It was not God's doing, but the work of his formerly extolled congregants, whom he now calls, in a new Hebrew Introduction, "wild boars." There is also an errata list of no less than 258 typographical errors. Sad indeed were the scholarly rabbi's days in Chicago; his subsequent career in New York was more tranquil and prosperous.

Highly luminous raspberry color, with ruby tinges. On the nose it is a symphony. The pleasant aroma of cherry jam blends with that of wild fruit (cranberries, strawberries) over a background reminiscent of pomegranate, butter (caramel toffee), green coffee beans and hints of marzipan. Masterful winemaking has managed to extract the perfumed flavors of grape skins to create a Rosé with good acidity, and one that is vinous with plenty of character.
Perfect with traditional "tapas" and charcuterie, as well as vegetable dishes and pasta. Serve cool.

I'm through bitching about how clueless the Academy is for overlooking my favorite films in favor of "geriatric coffeetable dogshit" (aka The Reader), as Christian Slater put it in True Romance. (To be fair, The Reader is slightly better than dogshit, mostly due to the presence of Kate Winslet.) Yes, I've finally accepted the Oscars for what it is: an industry wank-fest punctuated by a few moments of genuine spontaneity and/or emotion. Look for Slumdog Millionaire to clean up tonight despite not garnering a single acting nomination, which is almost unheard of for a Best Picture nominee. And look for an elaborately coiffed, sunglasses- and chain wallet-clad Mickey Rourke do something wonderfully eccentric while accepting the Best Actor Oscar.
The amusing, curiously lo-fi comedic diversion known as Hot Tub Time Machine revisits a moment in time not known for its significant cultural contributions (especially on a mainstream level). Who better, then, to appear in a movie that looks back with a nostalgic eye to the 1980s than Crispin Glover, one of the great, under-appreciated oddballs of that or any era?
Back in August of last year, Paramount Pictures announced that it was moving Martin Scorsese's Shutter Island, the anticipated follow-up to the director's Oscar-winning The Departed, from an Oct. 2 release date to February 2010. The move was perplexing for a variety of reasons, the most obvious of which was the presence of an Oscar-bait director like Scorsese and an equally lauded A-list actor like Leonardo DiCaprio. Such a shift — especially one that moves a film from the fall awards season to the Land of Misfit Movies known as February — is typically a sign that it's expected to disappoint for one reason or another.
What's up with all the 1980s love currently spilling out of multiplexes?
Sure, Hollywood and marketers of all sorts have long mined nostalgia as a powerful enticement tool in the marketplace. But is 20 years enough time to generate sufficient yearning for a period whose mainstream culture is best represented by the rise of stupid action movies and/or creatively bankrupt sequels (see the career of Sylvester Stallone for examples of both), acutely disposable Pop music (see everything from Hair Metal to Milli Vanilli), ludicrous clothes (see Miami Vice) and the presence of a two-term president whose nefarious policies laid the groundwork for our current economic meltdown?
This week's new releases are a curious hodgepodge ranging from a big-budget studio retread (Fast & Furious) to an experimental feature by a 79-year-old enfant terrible (Pere Portabella's The Silence Before Bach, which opened in New York City more than a year ago). Lodged in-between is a pair of movies that debuted to mixed responses at the Sundance Film Festival (Sunshine Cleaning in 2008, Adventureland earlier this year), both of which feature strong casts and capable directors.
There's no denying that Terry Gilliam has a vast imagination. But is that a good thing for his films and those who have to watch them?
The Sundance Film Festival announced its 2011 lineup today. The festival, which invades the small ski-resort town of Park City, Utah, Jan. 20-30, will include 115 films from 28 different countries. Befitting a fest known for its nurturing of fresh talent (40 of the 115 are from first-time filmmakers), the 32 films in the U.S. Dramatic and Documentary (16 in each category) include a bunch of new names as well as a few familiar faces.
As is the case every year, the big studios use the first quarter as a dumping ground for its duds, movies that for one reason or another they think are unlikely to generate much interest in an audience whose expectations are already diminished. Still, this year's list of dumpster dwellers seems even more robust than usual. On the other end of the spectrum, I can think of only two studio films to this point that have transcended the mediocre: Paul Feig's Bridesmaids and Duncan Jones' Source Code, both of which tweak genre conventions in slightly unexpected ways.
Underneath Cincinnati has undergone a number of behind-the-scenes changes in its 10 years of existence (members of the Southern Ohio Film Association now guide it), but its mission has largely remained the same — to showcase and support area independent filmmakers.
The 82nd Academy Awards telecast is Sunday night. Will you be watching?
Yes, I will again succumb to its guilty pleasures, no doubt groaning every 10 minutes or so at the lavish, self-important nature of it all (please don't let James Cameron win — the only thing worse than his creepy, flowing gray hair is the inevitably pompous speech that will spill from his lips if Avatar wins him a Best Director or Best Picture Oscar, which it likely will).

Eddie drools all over Marcos cock as the two work their way into an aggressive 69. Marco plunges all the way into Eddies ass, grabbing his shoulders and neck to fuck him harder as he begs for more. Marco then lays on his back so that Eddie can lay into his ass, his pierced balls bouncing as he pounds him. Marco shoots an impressively huge load all over himself, licking his fingers clean before Eddie pulls out so that the two can share his cum.

How to NOT Be a Douche-Canoe With Regards to Politics
I implore all of you to spread the word… Here is how to NOT be a douche-canoe with regards to politics:
11 comments:
I LOVE 9 and 10! I say this all the time...they are not all far right or far left, just shut the flapping mouth and listen for a minute and you will hear some in betweens! Gah! This is the best political addressing I have seen yet (best silly one goes to Daddy Doin' Work)!
DevanI also love, love, love 9 & 10! More slow clapping to follow! On my Facebook feed, a guy from high school posted 27 separate political propaganda photos in a row. I counted. And couldn't believe it. Can I call him a douche canoe to his face or leave it alone? Great post!
ReplyDeleteRepliesThose people are pointless to argue with. I have a cousin who does the same. I posted my blog like three times; she obviously didn't read it because she just kept right on posting about how stupid democrats are! So not only is she a Douche-Canoe, she's also being a bad cousin because she's not supporting my blog! HARRUMPH!!! =)
This is spot on! Great job! I am so glad the election is over--I was tired of reading all the political rants on Facebook--"friends" were getting into heated discussions with each other, and some started to "unfriend" others. Ridiculous. I have always kept my mouth shut about politics around others because I am usually in the middle with my opinion and don't need someone else's shoved down my throat.
It was great hearing from you again. I just started my Facebook fan page and was hoping you wouldn't mind going over to like it. I just visited yours and liked it under the name Marciaketerdoyle, just so you know it's me! Thanks! http://www.facebook.com/MenopausalMother

What's New in Version 3.0.15

Customer Reviews
Do yourself a favor....
Ignore the negative ratings on here! It is what I did and am glad I did.
Since purchasing over a month ago I have used to quickly get photos of my 5 month old baby boy to my iPhone, iPad, and PC. From random fun moments to his baptism I've had no issues!
This is a fantastic product that not many know about and that is a shame...as it has exceeded my expectations.
Sure it does use the battery up in your camera a bit more but that is what chargers are for!
Don't pay for for the larger GB card as once it's transferred you can just delete.
My step-brother just got his and loved it!
iPad won't log in, but iPhone okay
App works okay for getting pix from your iPhone to your home PC and from your eye-fi card to your iPhone. Previous version wouldn't transfer from eye-fi card to iPad, but I haven't checked that issue in this new version. It looks like they fixed the other bugs I reported before, thanks!
But I still don't understand why the "pull-up" icon at the bottom always says "no transfer in progress" when the icon badge says there are 46 photos to upload and it's actively uploading.
Works well (unlike PC software)
For some time I tried using the buggy half-baked PC software from Eye-Fi until I finally gave in.
Recently I experimented with Direct Mode and my iPhone 4S, and it just works flawlessly. It's truly brilliant to be able to instantly upload my higher quality point & shoot pics to my phone for in-the-moment posting to social media.

Country Night in Berwyn with Blue Lorraine, Crazee Heart
Blue Lorraine: If you love to sing country music and you are lucky enough to know the best country musicians for miles and miles...it's about time you do something about it. You might have heard them play as members of the Hoyle brothers and other well known outfits and you may have heard Linda sing a few country tunes here and there. Crazee Heart: John Ballentyne and Gus Noble formed Crazee Heart because they wanted to play their music, their way. They recruited drummer Leslie Walle-Santos and Chicago guitar master Jay Whitehouse. Together they set about building a show that blends John's songwriting craft with a collection of classic and modern covers. Its kind of Americana meets Honky-Tonk and it always ends up rockin'.

Lily pads here and there, freckles on a pond's cheek.
Little white bridge arched above, so you can stand
and watch the water, looking for a frog.
Lily pads dappling the pond, pink petals in the water.
White bridge a little slippery. Frog in mid-air, disgruntled.
A pond clogged with lily pads, mosquitos and gnats
in clouds above a scummy bridge. The slap of frogs
hitting the water.
Tarp of lily pads, choking the pond. Mossed over
bridge, rotting, a plank missing. Tiny green frog hand
and arm reaching up, clearing a space between
lily pads.
Once, this swampy region of the grounds
was a pond. See those boards over there, that was
an arched bridge. In the heyday of this property,
it was said that at night, from the back door, you could hear
the frogs singing.

We show the surprising results that while the local reach of the boundary of an minimizer is bounded below by , the global reach can be smaller. We do this by demonstrating several example minimizing sets not equal to the union of the -balls they contain.

Real Estate Rental Growth Rates at Different Points in the Physical Market Cycle
Real estate markets go through both physical cycles (demand and supply) that affect rental growth rates and financial cycles (capital flows to real estate) that affect property Prices (Mueller, 1995). This study develops a rental growth rate hypothesis based on a market's position in the physical (demand-supply) market cycle. Using data from fifty-four office and industrial markets in the United States over a thirty-year period, an aggregated national average rental growth rate was calculated for each point in the cycle. An ANOVA test for differences of means found that the national average rental growth rates at each point in the cycle were statistically different. The results show local demand and supply, which interact to affect occupancy, are major determinants in rental growth rates. This research should help investors move from using a single rental growth rate for multiple year forecasts, to using yearly cycle driven rental growth rate estimates in their discounted cash flow projections.Download Info
