02-09-2013, 04:18 PM #2What a terrible article. It doesn't mention how the "smishing" works, only that you can recieve fraudulent texts? Who cares if I receive a text message? Does it contain a link, and that is how the scam works? There is really no explanation in the article as to what to be concerned about..

Isn't most "smishing" done via URLs in the text messages? But you're right...the article is rather vague. The only concrete piece of information I got was that whatever the issue is, it's been fixed in 4.2. But let's assume it is tradtional "smishing" that was the issue, i.e. someone sends you a link via SMS, you click and give away your information. How can this be fixed by an OS update? Not allowing you to open text message URLs at all?

Smishing is a user vulnerability. Any platform that can receive SMS messages (read: all of them), is prone to it. Smishing doesn't swipe phone data, it requires the recipient to be stupid enough to enter personal information after clicking a link or following the directions outlined in the SMS message.
I'm relatively confident that this is just a scare piece.

I know Keith Doore, through my dad, he usually does just speed things, but Keith might do the front end work. When my brother was rear-ended in his Z-71, the only shop in St. Tammany Parish that would work on his 4x4 system was St. Tammany Auto Collision. You should call up Tire Town and see if they rebuild front ends, that would probably be the easiest thing.

Science Fiction Museum Plans Exhibits From 'Doctor Who' to 'Blade Runner'
Your average museum visit probably doesn't involve getting up close and personal with a space probe or the Doctor Who TARDIS. After all, these objects belong to the fantastical worlds of science fiction. But one team hopes to soon open a preview location for a larger, permanent space dedicated entirely to all things cool and futuristic. An Indiegogo campaign asks funders to help finance the construction of the Museum of Science Fiction.

I cannot open raw files from Lightroom in Camera Raw when I choose "edit with photoshop" from the LIghtroom menu. They simply open in photoshop itself and not Camera Raw. I am using Photoshop CS6 (latest upgrade) and LIghtroom 4 (Latest upgrade) on a Mac. Any help appreciated
I am probably not the best person to ask because I loathe everything about Lr with a passion!
I did buy the first version of Lr and have rigourously tested every version since in a serious attempt to find some value in it — and have failed to find a single attribute in Lr which cannot be done more efficiently and far better and faster by other means.
Personally, I find that Lr's vaunted file-management and keywording is done more quickly, easily and efficiently in Bridge — especially now that Bridge CS6 is 64-bit.
If you know how to use Photoshop and ACR, you already have all the tools that you need — and far more powerful and efficient ones than anything that LR can provide.
To my mind, Lr has only one purpose: it provides a low-cost easy-to-learn "Photoshop-Light for Photographers" who don't have the time, or perhaps the capacity, to learn to use the full capabilities of Phtoshop itself.
Thanks for your opinions (and I happen to agree that I don't need nor want more than Camera Raw myself), though I was just asking whether on the same machine, in your experience, the actual operation of LR4 was significantly slower than ACR7 to do similar things.
Several friends of mine have multi-second response delays after they move LR sliders and before seeing results in the preview. By contrast, I see essentially real-time updates when I move Camera Raw sliders. Our computers aren't that different in performance.
I certainly found Lr reacted more slowly, and with noticeable lag between the movement of a slider and screen-redrawing, than Bridge CS6 hosted ACR 7.1 does.
I no longer have access to Lr 4.1 (I only had the 30-day trial version and will not be purchasing it) so I can't run further tests.
The important thing when using Bridge CS6 is to allot it enough space for its Cache.
You do this in its Prefs.; and I set my slider to cache the full 500,000 items.
If you have the HD space (and it is worth investing in HD space) set Bridge's Prefs/Advanced/ to use "Full-size Monitor Previews".
This makes ACR very quick to use and to open multiple files for Batch processing: I often open and work on more than a hundred images simultaneously in ACR 7.1.
I guess that those that find Bridge to be slow are either not using these settings; or may be still using a version older than CS6.
Thanks for the tip on using Bridge, which I'm sure will help a lot of people.
I still prefer LR because I love the whole database concept and the fact that I can keyword, move and backup my files to external medium in one step when importing them. There are lots of other features in Lightroom that I use constantly (such as creating virtual copies of images, browsing offline files, fantastic print module, etc). Since I haven't used Bridge for years except for occasional browsing of images not imported into Lightroom, I may have overlooked these features being added to Bridge if they have been.
What worries me, generally speaking, with such an approach is the potential corruption/loss of the database.
Files on a disk I can manage myself, a hundred different ways.
Yes, this is a small amount of fear of the unknown. In any case I'm happy we have alternatives. I hope Adobe never forgets that there are folks who really don't want to do things the "Lightroom way".
Noel Carboni wrote:

I don't consider this an issue at all because Lightroom makes it easy to ensure the integrity of the database. Whenever you close Lightroom, you are automatically asked to check the integrity of the catalog (the database) and create a backup. The only caveat I see is that you need to back up to a separate drive, just as you shouldn't back up your photos to the same drive the originals are on.
Thanks for your replies. Mostly you have highlighted my problem. I have just switched to Photoshop and LR. Previously I was using Aperture 3. I do prefer the Camera Raw operation over the LR editing as it seems both quicker on my Mac and I find the interface easier to use.
I am hoping to use LR for its database and tracking. Ido backup to a seperate HD from the one I use for LR itself. The attaraction for me in opening a RAW file in Camera Raw before going to Ps6 is that sometimes I don't need to do the latter - but either way LR promises to keep track of editing and changes much the same as Aperture did.
Not sure if this is totally logical but I had hoped that the connection between LR and Camera Raw/Photoshop would be a direct and simple one. In fact I thought I read somewhere that choosing a raw file in LR and then "edit in Photoshop" should automatically open the file in Camera Raw and then progress on to Photoshop as its next step. Perhaps I am expecting too much? I am new to the forum and Ps6/LR but keen to learn.
Thanks everyone for your help Cheers
Regarding usability: in LR 4 it is advisable to use the Develop module in Solo mode. That mode expands only the section (Basic, Tone curve, Split Toning, etc.) that has the current focus, and collapses the rest. This makes it much easier to nagivate the different develop settings, but is off by default I think.
As you have already determined, LR by default doesn't open Raw files in Camera Raw, and I don't know how that would work. If you make changes to your RAW file in LR, these are recorded in the LR catalog and won't be visible in Camera Raw. The opposite it true, too.
I suggest that you ask your question in the Lightroom forum where the most knowledgeable LR experts hang out. Maybe there is some way to do what you want . http://forums.adobe.com/community/lightroom?view=discussions
In LR you can change the catalog settings that all the changes you do to your images are also saved in sidecar .xmp files. .xmp files are simple text files with information like "exposure +2". If the files are not hidden in Bridge you can open them in a text editor.
If you activate this you see the changes also in Bridge and you can open your images from Bridge in Camera Raw.
I also use LR and Bridge, so this makes a lot of sense for me. Apart from that I feel better if the changes are also saved in these files and not just in the LR database.

Photography in Focus
This winter, Minnesota venues present some of the best contemporary and historical photography and provocative takes on artifice and reality.
Cindy Sherman is the subject of a retrospective at Walker Art Center from Nov. 10, 2012, to Feb. 17, 2013. With over 170 photographs from the mid-1970s to the present, the exhibit showcases Sherman as photographer, model, stylist, and creator of images recalling movies and portraiture. Sherman deliberately highlights fiction—using wigs, makeup, and prosthetics that are slightly askew. This large exhibit offers a historic opportunity to see a number of key series from Sherman's influential career.
Photographs by award-winning Minnesota artists and an internationally-renowned artist are on view through January 6 at Rochester Art Center, a striking contemporary art center in southern Minnesota. The annual McKnight Photography Fellowship exhibit features the latest work by mid-career photographers Peter Happel Christian, Beth Dow, James Henkel, and Colleen Mullins. A concurrent exhibit showcases video and photography by Brazilian artist Cinthia Marcelle.
The Minneapolis Institute of Arts features travel-themed selections from its venerable photography collection in Strangers in a Strange Land. Artists include Diane Arbus, Dorothea Lange, Paul Strand, and more. Another exhibit, from the museum's cutting-edge New Pictures series, presents photographs by Stan Douglas of meticulously restaged historical events.

Simple, easy, yummy
I use this all the time for quick yummy bananas and custard. I always add a teaspoon of vanilla as this makes it fantastic. The powder is so useful in baking too, use to replace 1oz flour in shortbread or cakes for much improved texture, flavour and colour.

Hamilton Beach carefully selects its manufacturing partners, developing long-term relationships with people committed to our rigorous standards. These high standards include the working conditions under which our products are produced.
We are industry leaders who have worked to enhance workplace conditions within our manufacturing partners' factories. As with product safety standards, we have tried to raise the social accountability bar for our entire industry. Our agreements with suppliers require them to adhere to basic human rights principles. In addition, we have developed a detailed Social Accountability Policy to which all of our suppliers must adhere. We first developed such a policy in 2002.
We retain an independent third-party to audit our suppliers' conformance to the Social Accountability Policy. The requirements of the Social Accountability Policy generally provide greater worker protection than required by the applicable local laws and regulations in the jurisdictions where product is produced.
Summary of Key Provisions of Our Social Accountability Policy:
- All suppliers must operate in full compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations of the countries where they manufacture, including but not limited to those related to labor, employee health and safety and the environment.
- Where our Social Accountability Standard differs from local laws, our suppliers must follow the more stringent standard.
- Zero Tolerance Provisions
- Child Labor – no employment of anyone under age 16 or younger than age of completing compulsory education
- Forced Labor – no forced, prison or indentured labor
- Harassment or Abuse – no physical, sexual, psychological, or verbal harassment or abuse
- Transhipments/Country of Origin – mandatory compliance with US Customs importation laws
- Compulsory Corrective Action Plans
- Discrimination forbidden
- Compensation and Benefits must meet or exceed minimums set by local laws, with premiums paid for overtime work
- Hours of Work and Overtime – maintain reasonable work hours, including minimum time-off every week
- Working Conditions/Health & Safety – must meet or exceed minimums set by local laws, with adequate facilities and protections from exposure to hazardous conditions or materials
- Environment – must meet or exceed minimums set by local laws.
The California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 is intended to inform consumers whether goods are the product of human trafficking and slavery. The Act requires manufacturers and retailers who do business in California and have more that $100 million in worldwide gross receipts to "disclose their efforts to eradicate slavery and human trafficking from their direct supply chain for tangible goods offered for sale." While the Act addresses only one aspect of social accountability, Hamilton Beach fully supports the intent of this law.
- Hamilton Beach engages in verification of suppliers to evaluate and address various risks, including but not limited to human trafficking and slavery.
- Hamilton Beach conducts audits of suppliers to evaluate their compliance with our social accountability standards, including but not limited to prohibitions against trafficking and slavery.
- Hamilton Beach requires direct suppliers to certify that materials incorporated into their products comply with the laws of the countries where they are being sold, including but not limited to laws prohibiting slavery and human trafficking.
- Hamilton Beach maintains internal accountability standards and procedures for employees and contractors who fail to meet our standards, including but not limited to prohibitions against slavery and trafficking.
- Hamilton Beach provides training on social accountability standards to employees with direct responsibility for supply chain management, including but not limited to prohibitions against human trafficking and slavery, so as to achieve the highest standards of legal and ethical conduct for itself and its business partners and ensure compliance with all laws.
Hamilton Beach has been part of CT-PAT since July 2005. In partnering with the Department of Homeland Security, Hamilton Beach's supply chain has been evaluated by US Customs and Border Protection as meeting the "highest level of cargo security."
- Hamilton Beach will comply with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Act) and regulations enacted pursuant to the Act for sourcing Conflict Minerals and supply-chain due diligence.
- Conflict Minerals are defined as columbite-tantalite, cassiterite, gold, wolframite, or their derivatives, and any other mineral/derivatives determined by the US Secretary of State to finance conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or any adjoining country (the DRC).
- Hamilton Beach is developing processes and procedures to ensure compliance with the Act.
- We are communicating our requirements to our suppliers and working with them to ensure compliance with the law.

Rare Multimillion-$ 1955 Aston Martin Racer Added to RM's Monterey Lineup
Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos, Auctions
RM Auctions has just announced the consignment of a highly-desirable 1955 Aston Martin DB3S racer (above) to its Sports & Classics of Monterey auction event on August 13th - 15th in California. One of just 20 customer DB3Ss built and one of three examples ordered new by Australia's celebrated "Kangaroo Stable" racing team, the 1955 DB3S, chassis number DB3S/104, boasts an unbroken chain of ownership through to the present and an impressive racing history spanning from 1956 through to its last known event in 1997. It's estimated at $1.75 million - $2.25 million, making it one of the world's most expensive Aston Martins.
Painted in the famed Aston Martin racing color of Almond Green metallic with a yellow flash on the bonnet, the car was also driven by racing legends like Phil Hill and Carroll Shelby. "The Aston Martin DB3S in particular is rarely available to the market and when it is, traditionally only changes hands privately," notes RM President Ian Kelleher, "so it is exceptional to find one with such important provenance to be offered for sale publicly." The Aston will be auctioned off along with the $3 million 1952 Jaguar C-Type that The Classicist wrote about last month.

It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard...Read More About Napa Valley

Bronson Caves #6
The LA landmark serves as backdrop for Brice Bischoff's performative long exposures
Brice Bischoff is a Los Angeles based photographer whose project "Bronson Caves" caught my eye this morning via the fine folks at Feature Shoot. The Bronson Caves are the man-made results of gravel quarrying done by the Union Rock Company in Griffith Park at the the beginning of the 20th century—what was excavated was used to pave the roads of a rapidly expanding Los Angeles, and what was left behind has served as a faux-remote cave setting for hundreds of movies and TV shows, many of them sci-fi or western (even Wikipedia's partial list is pretty impressive).
For his project of the same name, Bischoff created a series of long exposures in which brightly colored sheets of paper are moved in and out of the frame in a controlled manner, creating a colorful miasma emerging from the darkness of the caves.
A related series of the papers themselves, tattered and worn after their use and eventually set on fire, takes the project into more deeply conceptual territory, but I find the colorful long exposures to be compelling in their own right. As Bischoff points out, due to the long exposures, they are images that can only physically exist in photographic form. "If a visitor to the caves were to accidentaly stumble upon my performance they would only see a mass of crumbled colored paper draped awkwardly over a man moving/dancing to a camera positioned on a tripod," he writes.
Fitting with the Bronson Caves' frequent appearance in low-budget sci-fi, Bischoff's project is part of a four-photographer group show exploring science fiction themes entitled "Beyond the Barrier" at the Camera Club of New York. Curated by Kate Greenberg, the exhibit opens next Friday, March 1.

Disney is moving ahead with a live-action movie based on the animated series Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers according to the Hollywood Reporter. The original series, which ran 65 episodes in 1989–1990, was produced by Tad Stones and Alan Zaslove.

A founding partner of Rankin/Bass Productions- with Jules Bass– he gained fame with such stop-action animation features as Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and the 1977 cartoon animation of The Hobbit.
Annie Awards Animation Winners Frozen Over
Last night saw Disney freeze out most of the competition when the best and most creative in animation met at UCLA's Royce Hall for the 41st Annual Annie Awards. Sponsored by ASIFA Hollywood, the awards recognize great works in television, theatrical film and games. This years awards were hosted by voice actor Tom Warburton.
Louis C.K. To Get Illuminated
Illumination Entertainment is not content to rest on the laurels of their Oscar nominations and sequel productions… Chris Meledandri's animation company is rushing head-first into an aggressive production schedule. Barely ten days after announcing a third Despicable Me and a new Dr. Seuss film, Illumination has added another film to their release slate, an as-yet Untitled Pet Movie set for release February 12, 2016.
Maleficent Dream Trailer
Disney premiered a new trailer for Maleficent, the live-action adaption of the Disney version of Sleeping Beauty. We see a lot more of Angelina Jolie as Maleficent, and it is impressive. The new look at the film was first shown as an ad during Sunday night's Grammy awards show. The first look trailer was pretty hard to judge the film by; this new trailer seems give a lot better look at what to expect from this new film.
Paperman Director Lands At Paramount
The Oscar-winning director of Disney's Paperman- John Kahrs– has turned up across the street at Paramount for his next project. Kahrs' Oscar last year for the Disney animated short was the studios first win in that division in the since 1969's It's Tough To Be A Bird.

As it steamrolls it's way toward February's Oscars, Frozen wins another award, this one for Producer Peter Del Vecho. The 25th Annual Producers Guild Awards were awarded last night at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills. In an non-animated stunner, this years competition featured the first tie for the top film prize in the PGAs' 25-year history. Live-action films Gravity and 12 Years A Slave shared the Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures.
Animator Michael Sporn Passes Away
Pioneering American animator Michael Sporn passed away Saturday after suffering from pancreatic cancer. Sporn produced and directed a number of animated specials and commercials from his New York based studios. Many of his works were known for their underlying social commentary and messages.

The son of Canadiens legend and retired number Emile "Butch" Bouchard, Pierre won 5 Stanley Cups of his own in 8 seasons with the Habs. Never an offensive threat, Bouchard instead made his living as a physical presence on the Canadiens' blueline. A hard, clean hitter who's imposing size kept opponents from challenging him, Bouchard could likely best be compared to modern day's Alexei Emelin, as he sat in the penalty box much less often than a typical guy who played his style.

The pint sized Swede was perhaps the Canadiens' last superstar. A two time 40 goal scorer and the last Canadiens player to record over a 100 points in a single season, Naslund was a point scoring machine. His extremely high level of play also came with good sportsmanship, as he won the Lady Byng Trophy in 1987-88. More importantly though, Naslund scored 8 goals and 19 points in 20 games en route to a Stanley Cup victory in 1986. The Little Viking was a 3 time NHL All-Star, his best showing coming in 1988 while on a line with Mario Lemieux, where he picked up a league record 5 assists.

Martin Rucinsky holds the unfortunate distinction of being the only part of the Patrick Roy trade that even remotely worked out. The young Czech topped the 20 goal mark 4 times in 6 years with the Canadiens, and topped the 50 point mark 3 times. He was even over a point per game with the Habs the year he was traded. A points leader during some of the leanest years in Habs history, Rucinsky was also an important member of his country's national team. Rucinsky was a member of the gold medal winning Czech team in 1998 in Nagano, and brought home a Bronze medal in Turin in 2006.

Part of one of the best trades the Canadiens have made in decades, Josh Gorges came to Montreal with a 1st round pick that became Max Pacioretty in exchange for Craig Rivet. Beginning his Habs career as a depth defenseman, Gorges slowly improved his play incrementally until he became a reliable top 4 defenseman, then pushing himself all the way to the top defense pairing with the young stud defenseman P.K. Subban. Gorges is a leader on the current incarnation of the Canadiens, often wearing an alternate captain's 'A'. The shot blocker extraordinaire isn't much of a scoring threat, but his steadying hand in the defensive zone and on the penalty kill is incalculable. Gorges recently signed a six year deal to stay in Montreal through 2017-18.

The combination of cinnamon sticks and fresh mint give this easy pot roast a wonderfully deep and unexpected flavor. We suggest beef chuck roast, but brisket or bottom round also work excellently. Add extra veggies to the slow cooker if you like and serve over...
Parsnips, which look a bit like cream-colored carrots, add flavor and texture to otherwise traditional mashed potatoes. Stir in a handful of chopped green onions or grated cheddar cheese before serving, if you like.
The combination of tender pork cubes, melt-in-your-mouth leeks and sweet apples make this stew a comfort classic. Pair it with egg noodles or späetzle for a simple but elegant meal.
This elegant, simple preparation for beef tenderloin is a classic. To serve a larger crowd, simply double the oil-herb rub and roast an entire beef tenderloin (3 1/2 to 4 lbs.), cut crosswise into two pieces. Use this same method to roast a whole pork loin, too.
This festive main course is rich and tasty on its own, but you can also pair it with Vegan Mushroom Gravy.
This delicious quiche-like pie is packed with a host of nutritious ingredients: black lentils, collard greens and sweet butternut squash. Home-cooked black lentils have a wonderfully firm texture, but you can also substitute drained canned lentils; you'll need one...
These delightful spuds bake up super-crispy thanks to a series of thin slices and clarifying the butter, so it can be heated to a higher temperature for roasting. Experiment with other herbs and spices, such as caraway seeds and sage.
There's nothing like a cup of icy cold gazpacho for a perfectly refreshing summer lunch on a blistering hot day. (Truthfully, we love gazpacho on lukewarm days too!) Flavorful tomatoes are key here--don't attempt this recipe with unripe tomatoes.
If you crave crispy, crackling turkey skin, this is the bird for you! A few simple techniques result in a juicy, rosemary-scented turkey with skin that's wonderfully caramelized.
Our unique recipe calls for beans, whole corn and cheddar cheese. Simple to prepare, it's a perfect complement to a hearty soup or stew and leftovers heat up wonderfully for breakfast.
The fall flavor combination of pears and blue cheese brings a seasonal element to an otherwise simple chicken dish. Great for a dinner party!
Walnut oil gives a touch of elegance to this simple side dish. Haricot verts are a French variety of green beans that are very thin and stringless, making them extra-easy to prepare. You can substitute regular green beans, if desired.
This layered one-pot dish can be assembled quickly and popped into the oven to bake while you're helping the kids with their homework (or finishing your own).
This hearty breakfast of eggs, Canadian bacon and cheese served on toasted whole wheat muffins is a great start to the day. In an unconventional twist with an eye on convenience, we use a standard muffin baking pan to bake the eggs in a hot oven.
From The Whole Foods Market Cookbook, this salmon is as impressive in presentation as it is delicious.
Broccoli rabe (pronounced "robb") is a non-heading variety of broccoli with long, thin leafy stalks topped with small florets. Sometimes referred to as rapini, broccoli raab, or broccoli di rape, this Italian staple will fit right at home in your holiday kitchen....
For those who like their brownies iced, these are the perfect brownies! Bittersweet chocolate makes them decadent and dark.
Make a pitcher of this refreshing ginger drink to add some sparkle to your outdoor parties this summer.

Motorcycle insurance can be a tricky business, we know that, like us, you just want to get out on your bike - not be comparing policy schedules. But it must be done and it should be done properly.
The number one rule for cheaper motorcycle insurance is to simply shop around. MCN Compare makes it fast and simple to get multiple quotes. Although you'll be tempted to go for the cheapest quote at the top of the page, take your time to look through the quotes and see what each one offers.
Some may include breakdown cover as standard, while others may ask for a small fee for that to be included.
Buying insurance used to mean spending an entire evening or two filling in your details on each individual insurer's site, but with MCN Compare you can get up to 37 quotes in just minutes.
Take a look at our How to save £££'s page to drag that price down even lower.
When you've decided on a policy that fits your needs and received the official documentation take time in checking it over and ensure your level of cover is what you expected.
With many companies you will have a 14 day cooling off period where you can cancel your policy for a small admin charge (but check your provider offers this).
Double-check that your policy is accurate. Everything from your profession to your annual mileage must be accurate otherwise you will face the risk of your policy being invalidated.
Insurance companies usually send you a reminder 30 days prior to expiry. A month can go by very quickly; the final day before your insurer automatically renews your insurance with them can easily creep up on you.
MCN Compare will send you a comparison of your potential insurance policies for the coming year when yours is up for renewal, taking in to consideration that you have the same bike and an extra year's NCB.

Mary Somerville
Mary Somerville | |
Mary Somerville
Born | Jedburgh, Scotland |
26 December 1780
Died | 28 November 1872 Naples, Italy |
(aged 91)
Nationality | Scottish |
Fields | science writer polymath |
Mary Fairfax Somerville (26 December 1780 – 28 November 1872) was a Scottish science writer and polymath, at a time when women's participation in science was discouraged. She studied mathematics and astronomy, and was nominated to be jointly the first female member of the Royal Astronomical Society at the same time as Caroline Herschel.
Early life[edit]
She was the daughter of Irish Vice-Admiral Sir William George Fairfax[1] (scion of a distinguished family of Fairfaxes), and was related to several prominent Scottish houses through her mother.[2] She was born at the manse of Jedburgh, in the Borders, the house of her mother's sister, wife of Dr Thomas Somerville (1741–1830), author of My Own Life and Times.[2] Her childhood home was at Burntisland, Fife.[1] Returning from sea, her father considered the 10-year-old Mary "a savage" and sent her for a year of tuition at Musselburgh, an expensive boarding school.[2] She returned being able to read, and able to write, albeit poorly; she could perform simple arithmetic and knew a little French.[3]
Following this, she was informally taught elementary geography and astronomy, but found her education limited compared to what her brother might receive. To supplement this, therefore, she was taught Latin by her uncle, Dr Thomas Somerville, who described her as an eager student.[1] Once, listening in to her brother receive tutoring in mathematics, she answered when he could not; impressed, his tutor allowed her to continue with lessons unofficially. She also studied art with Alexander Nasmyth in Edinburgh, who taught her about perspective – inspired, she managed to obtain a copy of Euclid's Elements of Geometry, and began to teach herself from it.[1] Meanwhile, she continued in the traditional roles of the daughter of a well-connected family, attending social events and maintaining a sweet and polite manner – she was nicknamed "the Rose of Jedburgh" among Edinburgh socialites.[4] Around this time, however, following the death of her sister at age ten, her parents forbade Mary from further study, believing it had contributed to her sister's death. This did not deter her from studying on her own, although she had to continue in secret.[4]
In 1804 she married her distant cousin, the Russian Consul in London, Captain Samuel Greig, son of Admiral Samuel Greig. They had two children, one of whom, Woronzow Greig, became a barrister and scientist.[5] They lived in London, and it was not a happy time for Somerville – although she could study more easily, her husband did not think much of women's capacity to pursue academic interests. She returned home to Scotland upon his death in 1807.[4]
Her inheritance from Greig gave her the freedom to pursue intellectual interests. In 1812 she married another cousin, Dr William Somerville (1771–1860), inspector of the Army Medical Board, who encouraged and greatly aided her in the study of the physical sciences. They had four children. During her marriage she made the acquaintance of the most eminent scientific men of the time, among whom her talents had attracted attention. Before she had acquired general fame, Laplace told her, "There have been only three women who have understood me. These are yourself, Mrs Somerville, Caroline Herschel and a Mrs Greig of whom I know nothing" (of course, Somerville was first and third of these three).
Translation and writing[edit]
Having been requested by Lord Brougham to translate for the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge the Mécanique Céleste of Laplace, she greatly popularized its form, and its publication in 1831, under the title of The Mechanism of the Heavens, at once made her famous. She stated "I translated Laplace's work from algebra into common language".
Her other works are the On the Connexion of the Physical Sciences (1834), Physical Geography (1848), which was commonly used as a text book until the early 20th century,[6] and Molecular and Microscopic Science (1869).[1] In 1835, she and Caroline Herschel became the first women members of the Royal Astronomical Society. In 1838 she and her husband went to Italy, where she spent much of the rest of her life. In 1868, four years before her death at age 91, she signed John Stuart Mill's unsuccessful petition for female suffrage.[7]
Much of the popularity of her writings was due to her clear and crisp style and the underlying enthusiasm for her subject which pervaded them. From 1835 she received a pension of £300 from government. In 1869 she was awarded the Victoria Medal of the Royal Geographical Society.[8]
Somerville's writing influenced James Clerk Maxwell and John Couch Adams. Her discussion of a hypothetical planet perturbing Uranus, in the 6th edition of On the Connexion of the Physical Sciences (1842), led Adams to look for and discover Neptune.
Death and legacy[edit]
She died at Naples on 28 November 1872, and is buried there in the English Cemetery, Naples.[9] In the following year there appeared her autobiographical Personal Recollections, consisting of reminiscences written during her old age, and of great interest both for what they reveal of her own character and life and the glimpses they afford of the literary and scientific society of bygone times.
Somerville College, Oxford, was named after Mary Somerville, as is Somerville House, Burntisland, where she lived for a time[10] and Somerville House, a high school for girls in Brisbane, Australia. One of the Committee Rooms of the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh has been named after her. The term "scientist" was coined by William Whewell in an 1834 review of her On the Connexion of the Sciences.
Somerville Island (74°44'N, 96°10'W), a small island in Barrow Strait, Nunavut, was named after her by Sir William Edward Parry in 1819 during the first of the four Arctic expeditions under his command.
5771 Somerville (1987 ST1) is a main-belt asteroid discovered on 21 September 1987 by E. Bowell at Lowell Observatory Flagstaff, Arizona, and named for her.
Somerville crater is a small lunar crater in the eastern part of the Moon. It lies to the east of the prominent crater Langrenus, and was designated Langrenus J before being given her name by the International Astronomical Union. It is one of a handful of lunar craters named after a woman.

EC: Experion R400
Process control systems: Honeywell Process Solutions, Experion R400. Honeywell's latest Experion PKS release, R400, features several key innovations that deliver superior value on several key aspects to the process industries, including: simplifying open systems; critical process control capabilities; engineering and life-cycle efficiency; and reducing overall cost of ownership. This is a Control Engineering 2011 Engineers' Choice (EC) Award winner.
Experion R400 is much more than the latest iteration of Honeywell's widely used Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS), it's a solution that lowers the total cost of ownership with easier installation and migration capabilities, reduced operation and maintenance costs, investment protection, and simplified open systems integration. Open system ownership costs are reduced through features such as an extended support life, flexible direct on-process migration paths and virtualization. What's more, the system acts as a foundational cornerstone, allowing DCS, safety, SCADA, terminal, and other solutions to be unified in a single architecture. The system offers an integrated turbine control system that allows power generators to improve their plant performance through tighter integration between boilers and turbines. This gives plants better control of their turbines, allowing them to produce energy more efficiently by maximizing demand swings while reducing fuel consumption and production costs.
Experion tightly integrates plant subsystems, including process control, safety instrumented systems, security, and advanced control at major processing facilities to improve overall safety, reliability, efficiency and sustainability. The R400 enhancement gives process operators greater visibility into how their processes are affecting the overall plant and allows them to make better-informed decisions in the control room. The virtualization enhancement can greatly reduce the number of PCs needed at plants, simplify management and ensure software continues functioning properly even as platforms are updated. Additionally, Experion R400 extends the availability of operating systems and key infrastructure components to help prevent them from becoming outdated or obsolete. Plants with older versions of Experion can upgrade to R400 easily with extended on-process migration and automatic-install features, allowing plants to more quickly upgrade their systems on-process with larger jumps between releases. The system also features a new Profibus Gateway that provides redundancy, further improving the reliability of critical process control applications such as intelligent motor control centers and remote critical equipment monitoring.

Further study details as provided by Novartis:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Time to Progression Free Survival (PFS) Based as Per Investigator Using Kaplan-Meier Methodology [ Time Frame: Time from randomisation to dates of disease progression, death from any cause or last tumor assessment, reported between day of first patient randomised, 17 August 2007, until cut-off date 28 February 2010 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Progression of disease is defined as the time from study start to the date of first documented progression of disease or death due to any cause. Progression of disease is defined by RECIST criteria: Progression = 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of all target lesions, from the smallest sum of longest diameter of all target lesions recorded at or after baseline; or a new lesion; or progression of non-target lesions.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Percentage of Participants With Objective Response Rate ( CR {Complete Response} OR PR {Partial Response}) [ Time Frame: Time from randomisation to dates of disease progression, death from any cause or last tumor assessment, reported between day of first patient randomised, 17 August 2007, until cut-off date 28 February 2010 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Objective Response defined by RECIST criteria: Partial response (PR) must have ≥ 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of all target lesions, from the baseline sum. Complete response (CR) must have disappearance of all target and non-target lesions. For CR or PR, tumor measurements must be confirmed by 2nd assessments within 4 weeks . Progression = 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of all target lesions, from the smallest sum of longest diameter of all target lesions recorded at or after baseline; or a new lesion; or progression of non-target lesions
- Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: on or after the start of double-blind study medication until no later than 28 days after double-blind study medication discontinuation ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Adverse events are defined as any unfavorable and unintended diagnosis, symptom, sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), syndrome or disease which either occurs during study, having been absent at baseline, or, if present at baseline, appears to worsen. Serious adverse events are any untoward medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require (or prolong) hospitalization, cause persistent or significant disability/incapacity, result in congenital anomalies or birth defects, or are other conditions which in judgment of investigators represent significant hazards.
- Time to Overall Survival [ Time Frame: Baseline, to death- no time limit ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Overall Survival Rate is the time from study start to death from any cause.
- Evaluation of Pharmacokinetics (PK) Parameters [ Time Frame: Day 1 of every cycle (28 days/cycle) throughout the study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The PK parameters for a full PK profile at steady-state were determined in blood using non compartmental methods. The PK parameters were: area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to the time of the last quantifiable concentration (AUC0-t last), area under the concentration time curve from time zero to time t, where t is the end of the dosing interval (AUC0-t), maximum (peak) drug concentration (Cmax), time to maximum (peak) drug concentration (tmax), and minimum (trough) drug concentration (Cmin).
- Changes From Baseline in Serum Biochemical Tumor Markers, Such as Chromogranin A (CgA) and Neuron Specific Enolase (NSE) [ Time Frame: If elevated at baseline, evaluated every cycle visit (28 days/cycle) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Baseline levels of serum CgA and NSE were characterized relative to the upper limited of normal (ULN). CgA levels exceeding 2 x ULN were considered to be 'Elevated'; otherwise considered as "Non-elevated". NSE levels exceeding 2 x ULN were considered to be 'Elevated'; otherwise considered as "Non-elevated".

Delicious, well priced, though a little crowded for lunch time. Definitely worth the walk!
Good luck Sam. Great design for the place. I really liked the enviroment inside. the menu looks good, and I am sure the cruise crowd will like it as well. Hookas are also a great idea. Nothing better than hooka and a cup of turkish coffee under the Charleston sky!
It is wonderful. The chef changed about four months ago, and since then the quality has gone way up. They have some of the best falafels we ever encountered (better than some well-known places in Manhattan, crunchy outside with a soft and delicious inside). The ingredients are very fresh. I particularly love their kibbi; the hummos is very creamy and stands out. For lunch, the falafel combo sandwiches with slightly browned cauliflower are a treat. For dinner, try any lamb dish with a glass of Lebanese red wine (I was surprised by how nice the wine is and how well it goes with the dishes). Desserts are scrumptious too and freshly made. The interior decor has also improved, with some interesting wall hangings, and shelves with olive oil and other middle eastern goods for sale (we tried the olive oil and it is quite nice). I disagree with one of the postings: the atmosphere and the people running the place are friendly and relaxed, I'd definitely recommend eating in to fully appreciate the food.
I eat here multiple times a week, sometimes twice in a day. The Falafel and hummos is delicious as well as their many assortments of salads. Heart of palm, tabouleh and fatoosh are my favorites. Give them a shot, the owner Samir is very friendly and always has a smile on his face. *** Vegetarian Friendly ***
I recently relocated to the Charleston area and have been dying to try out as many restaurants as possible. LANA has been the absolute best of all. The atmosphere is wonderful, intimate, low key. The food was fabulous, nice take on mediterranean. Can't wait to go back!
Wash of the everyday with a vacation at Muse. The wine bar is the perfect petit spot to avoid the high heels & cologne of other obvious night spots. Muse quietly oozes conversation, charm mixed with Matts magic tricks & killer drinks not to be outdone by cuisine that reminds you its heavenly to nibble & not merely eat food.
This is the best place I've found in years in Charleston! Fun, friendly and really outstanding food. Indoors, outdoors or at the bar. I can't wait to come back!!!!!
My husband and I stumbled upon the place by accident but was very glad we did. We had the special gyro of the day, with this amazing feta sauce/spread and lots of meat. Absolutely delicious! We also tried a small treat (cant' remember the name, but had pistachios in it), that I have to say was little overpriced. Other than that, it was great and we'll definitely be going back!
Let me begin by saying that my wife and I lived in the Middle East for two years. While living in Jerusalem, many locals invited us into their homes for wonderful Middle Eastern/Mediterranean cuisine. Not only did they share meals with us, they taught my wife how to prepare the local food. Over those two years we learned that Middle Eastern food is extremely tasty and very healthy as well.
In the 20+ years since living in the Middle East, whenever traveling, we always look for Middle Eastern/Mediterranean restaurants. We've found some pretty good ones in large cities like Atlanta, Metro DC. Now we have no need to look any further. Welcome to Ali Baba Mediterranean Deli & Catering on Daniel Island. For my family it is a dream come true to have the real thing in town. The prices are right, the atmosphere, friendliness and hospitality remind us so much of what we experienced during our time in Jerusalem.
I really hate to limit my recommendations because everything is absolutely delicious. But be sure not to miss the some of the best kibbi I've ever had along with an absolutely wonderful heart of palm salad. The grape leaves are outstanding and the chicken kebob melts in your mouth. This food is freshly prepared and Ali Baba's has quite a variety. The vegetarian has many choices and for those who don't feel adventurous there's even a half pound burger on the menu. We've eaten in at Ali Baba or picked up there countless times and I still don't think we've gotten to try everything on the menu. If you want authentic Middle Eastern/Mediterranean cuisine, you simply can't go wrong with Ali Baba on Daniel Island! It's a 5 star all the way!
