The 87th annual National Cherry Festival is kicking off on June 29th, and here with a preview of the event is executive director, Trevor Tkach.
This year there are over 150 exciting events at the festival, the majority of which are free to the public. These events include concerts, night time air shows, and fireworks shows.
With 75 percent of the nation's tart cherries coming from Traverse City there are endless possibilities of what can be made. Cherry pie is the headliner but new products like cherry butter and jalapeno cherry salsa will also be available at the festival's two signature food events.
The week long festival wraps up with the 41st running of the Meijer Festival of Races on July 6th followed by the DTE Energy Cherry Royale Parade. Finally, the night is capped off with a fireworks show over West Grand Traverse Bay.

When you think "injury-prone pitchers," a few names come to mind. Mark Prior. Ben Sheets. Rich Harden. And, of course, Kelvim Escobar. All four were blessed with all the talent in the world, and all four were cursed with the inability to stay together. Now Prior's nowhere close, Sheets is struggling, Harden is struggling, and Escobar is set to undergo an operation that will wipe away his 2010 before it ever began.
Kelvim Escobar will undergo season-ending surgery on his right shoulder on Wednesday.
Escobar was signed to a $1.25m contract last December by the Mets, but the would-be setup man felt tightness in his shoulder as he prepared for spring training and, before long, he was having trouble gripping a baseball. Plans to return kept getting pushed back, and now this procedure will prevent Escobar's 2010 from ever taking place. It's only the latest incident for Escobar, who has thrown just 25.2 professional innings since the beginning of 2008. The righty has missed significant time in his career with problems in his shoulder and elbow.
It's worth noting that, two months ago, Escobar said he was ready to retire if need be.
"I'm a very proud man," he said. "I've had a decent career. Whatever happens, I'll be happy."
Only time will tell if he'll try to give this one more go, but in the event that this is the end of Kelvim Escobar's career, he won't have any reason to feel bad about his impressive strikeout rate and 4.15 ERA.

Now that 2013 has rung in, Deerfield residents may be anticipating many things about the new year. But it is highly unlikely commuters are looking forward to the construction project slated for Lake-Cook Road starting in March.
Deerfield Village Manager Kent Street put the inconvenience succinctly, "It's going to be a challenge."
As Patch has previously reported, the Cook County Highway Department is scheduled to do a massive renovation of Lake-Cook Road from the area just east of the Metra stop through Waukegan Road to the area west of Northbrook Court. The project is scheduled to be completed in November.
Once the project is done, the major east west thoroughfare will have three lanes in each direction and intersection with Waukegan Road will be improved, and there will be a second left turn lane for northbound and southbound Waukegan Road at Lake-Cook.
Since this is not a Deerfield project, the village does not have direct control over it but Street said the Cook County Highway Department is seeking bids for the project now and they will be opened in February.
Probably what is more important to the average commuter is the pledge Street said he received about keeping people up to date with the status of the work unfolds.
"The Cook County Highway Department has made a commitment to the villages of Deerfield and Northbrook to meet with area residents and businesses before the project starts as well as maintain communication during the project," he said.
Street noted when Lake-Cook Road is done, that means the village will then turn its focus to reconstructing Deerfield Road from Waukegan Road east to Highland Park.
No specific time has been set for that endevour. "We are working now with Lake County on how best to proceed with that project both in timing and funding concerns, which are both being reviewed."
In terms of other public works projects for Deerfield in 2013, Street anticipated basic road and utility repairs, but nothing near the scale of the Lake-Cook Road situation.
Aside from the roads, Street said one of the challenges the village will deal with in 2013 is what to do with the Deerbrook Mall on Waukegan Road. Big box retailer Best Buy moved out in August leaving a large retail hole.
"We are continuing to work with owners for successful tenant placement and consideration of redevelopment plans," Street said.
Repeated phone to representatives of the mall's ownership were not returned.

Teaching and Learning with New Media
Cognitive Flexibility
Calculus textbooks contain problems of varying difficulty. Students can work on relatively simple ones first and then tackle the more challenging. This is not true in history, and especially not true of survey courses, which deal almost exclusively in very complex events and developments. Every attempt on our part to simplify the past distorts it. Students cannot "explain" the Enlightenment. And we do them no favors by pretending that they can. What they can do is explore some dimensions of it. Exploring leaves them with more questions than answers along with an appreciation for just how partial their grasp of it actually is. This is a healthy outcome. How can we reach it? My approach in my survey of "Modern Europe and the U.S. I" is in the section of detailed examples.
Very likely the first thing you will notice is how long it is. As noted above, students need help in reading documents, listening to music, and looking at paintings. They need structure, particularly when we are seeking to encourage flexibility. If, that is, we want students to appreciate the various kinds of sources historians use and, as a consequence, ask them to plunge into challenging and diverse materials, we have to provide a scaffolding for them. Structure makes flexibility feasible.
The "Age of Reason" segment begins with a question: How did the thinker become a hero? We look at several portraits and identify common elements such as the visionary gaze. Students especially like to play with the portrait of Lavoisier. The discovery that in eighteenth-century France it was the men who were vain about their legs delights them. So too the discovery that people then associated beauty with age. I provide a simple initial answer to the question of the philosopher as hero: Newton. Students then read and comment on an essay on Newton by Voltaire. They also read an excerpt from Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography about his own foray into philosophy. Then they compare Voltaire's ideas about natural religion with Mandeville's sardonic views on the same subject. Mandeville is usually a minor figure in survey courses, if he is mentioned at all. But his scandalous argument that selfish conduct leads to the common good lies at the core of Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations. And Smith's working out of economic equivalents of the laws of motion, in which self-interest plays the role gravity does in Newtonian mechanics, nicely demonstrates Newton's pervasive and lasting influence. Then, to make matters even more complex, we take a look at the First Great Awakening in the American colonies with Benjamin Franklin as one of our guides. Can introductory level students actually make some sort of sense out of all this? Yes, they can make some sense of it. Below is Melissa's take.
Melissa's Notes
I have bolded the two statements we used in class. The first is a flawed reading of Mandeville's essay on the origins of morals. Mandeville was much more of a cynic than Melissa allows. He argued that it was "lawgivers and other wise men that have laboured for the establishment of society" who divided society into these two groups, not because the division accurately reflected reality but because it would "induce several, especially the fiercest, most resolute, and best among them, to endure a thousand inconveniences and undergo as many hardships, that they may have the pleasure of counting themselves men of the second class, and consequently appropriating to themselves all the excellences they have heard of it." That a first- or second-year student, even a very strong one, did not grasp the full force of Mandeville's argument is unsurprising. But what is interesting is how she moves on to Smith and succinctly states several of his major ideas. And she ends with a challenging assertion of her own. Students, I explained to Melissa before class, are not going to understand everything they read the first time they encounter it. Would it be OK if we started class with her misunderstanding of Mandeville? We would then go on to all the things she did so beautifully. But I wanted to start with how Mandeville explained the fact of virtue and ask students to compare his argument to Machiavelli's distinction between the reality and the mere appearance of virtue. By this point in the semester, I had built up a sufficient measure of trust with students for her to agree.
What is worth emphasizing is that Melissa wrote this before class.
Central to the historian's enterprise is getting sources to shed light upon each other. Helping students to do this is complicated by several factors. One is their intellectual development. Many have yet to appreciate ambiguities as inevitable accompaniments to human life. Most lack a nuanced sense of irony. One semester is not long enough for some to grow into mature thinkers. All we can do is push. Another obstacle is that students have learned to cope by putting texts and other materials into airtight containers. They have learned to pigeonhole. And it has worked for them. It is a way to play safe in courses in which the student does not expect to excel but does wish to get a decent grade. Treating each item that comes along in isolation keeps them from making big mistakes. It is a formula for getting a B-. As with all practices that succeed, it is very difficult to stop.
I try by emphasizing the notion that we are engaged in a conversation about the meaning of the past and that historical figures themselves are parties to this conversation. The assignment on World War I in my "Modern Europe and U.S. II" illustrates what this means.
One voice students encounter is Rupert Brooke's. They read his "The Soldier," and I read "Peace" to them in class:
Now, God be thanked Who has matched us with His hour,
And caught our youth, and wakened us from sleeping,
With hand made sure, clear eye, and sharpened power,
To turn, as swimmers into cleanness leaping,
Glad from a world grown old and cold and weary,
Leave the sick hearts that honour could not move,
And half-men, and their dirty songs and dreary,
And all the little emptiness of love!
Oh! we, who have known shame,
we have found release there,
Where there's no ill, no grief, but sleep has mending,
Naught broken save this body, lost but breath;
Nothing to shake the laughing heart's long peace there
But only agony, and that has ending;
And the worst friend and enemy is but Death
I remind them that Brooke wrote in the earliest days of the war. Wilfred Owen, whose "Dulce et Decorum Est" they also read, wrote in its last days. Owen could only have smiled sadly at the line, "To turn, as swimmers into cleanness leaping," as a description of going to war. We then talk about Brooke's disdain for prewar life. Students are shocked when confronted with the line about "all the little emptiness of love!" We discuss the notion of war as purification, as bringing out the noblest in human nature. Then we read Winston Churchill's obituary of Brooke. Next come other voices. One is Owen, who very likely read the obituary, and another is Sigmund Freud, whose Civilization and its Discontents offers a very different explanation of war's appeal. Students have a choice. They can write about how Owen or Freud would react to the obituary. Or they can use an online exhibition of war paintings to illustrate Owen's poem.
One student found a self portrait as a soldier by the German Otto Dix. She suggested we should use it to illustrate the Freud excerpts rather than Owen's poem. She suggested this passage:
Men are not gentle, friendly creatures wishing for love, who simply defend themselves if they are attacked, but that a powerful measure of desire for aggression has to be reckoned as part of their instinctual endowment. The result is that their neighbour is to them not only a possible helper or sexual object, but also a temptation to them to gratify their aggressiveness on him, to exploit his capacity for work without recompense, to use him sexually without his consent, to seize his possessions, to humiliate him, to cause him pain, to torture and to kill him. Homo homini lupus; who has the courage to dispute it in the face of all the evidence in his own life and in history? This aggressive cruelty usually lies in wait for some provocation, or else it steps into the service of some other purpose, the aim of which might as well have been achieved by milder measures. In circumstances that favour it, when those forces in the mind which ordinarily inhibit it cease to operate, it also manifests itself spontaneously and reveals men as savage beasts to whom the thought of sparing their own kind is alien. Anyone who calls to mind the atrocities of the early migrations, of the invasion by the Huns or by the so-called Mongols under Jenghiz Khan and Tamurlane, of the sack of Jerusalem by the pious Crusaders, even indeed the horrors of the last world-war, will have to bow his head humbly before the truth of this view of man.
Dix had painted the date prominently into his portrait, 1914. This was when Rupert Brooke was beginning his War Sonnets. We talked about the dissonance between the way the two young men thought about going to war. We went back to a line in the Churchill obituary: "he advanced towards the brink in perfect serenity, with absolute conviction of the rightness of his country's cause and a heart devoid of hate for fellow-men." We could never use the Dix portrait to illustrate that statement. We then turned back to the last stanza of Owen's poem about a gas attack and the horrible death of a fellow soldier.
Had Brooke been "ardent for some desperate glory"? Was Churchill one of those who told "with such high zest" the "old Lie"? I had earlier translated the Latin and identified the quotation as from Horace. Owen used the Latin because he wanted to stress it was an old lie, a student pointed out. And its use identified his intended audience, the graduates of England's "public schools," all of whom had studied Horace and who became the officer class and Britain's civil servants and policy makers, I contributed.
This discussion happened because one student was "haunted" by the Dix portrait. It made Freud's discussion of human aggression come alive for her. As she read Freud, she said, she kept seeing the picture. In this class our semester-long use of the conversation metaphor finally clicked for several students. Owen really was talking to Brooke and to Brooke's many readers, and to Churchill, and even to Horace. Freud's theory of an aggression instinct was, they could grasp, a reply to those who glorified the sacrifices of war. And their ability to connect Otto Dix's art with Freud's psychological theory was their contribution to the conversation.

Mike Brown and the Cleveland Cavaliers continue to discuss the terms of his agreement to return as the team's coach, and Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski reports it to be a five-year, $20 million contract. That would include a final year buyout option.
Warren LeGarie, Brown's agent, has apparently been working on helping out the Los Angeles Lakers, who still owe Brown $11 million after he was fired five games into the 2012-13 season. Part of the ongoing discussions of the new contract with the Cavs would be, in part, to satisfy the salary from the original deal Brown signed with Los Angeles, according to CBS Sports' Ken Berger.
The Lakers in 2011 signed Brown to a three-year, $18 million deal with a partially-guaranteed fourth year.
Brown coached the Lakers for one full year in 2011-12 during the lockout-shortened season before limping to his end with a 1-4 start in his second year in Los Angeles. Mike D'Antoni, also a client of LeGarie, replaced Brown as the Lakers' head coach.
Prior to his brief stint in Los Angeles, Brown was coaching the Cavaliers from 2005-11 and was fired despite helping Cleveland to two 60-plus-win seasons in a row.
According to ESPN, Brown was attracted to Cleveland because his family is comfortable there. A native of Columbus, Ohio, Brown reportedly had interest from the Phoenix Suns, among other teams.

A Creative Commons music video made out of other CC videos
Hello! Let's go straight to the point. Here is the video:
…and here are the videos that were used having the Creative Commons Attribution licence: http://wonkydollandtheecho.com/thanks.html. They are downloadable via Vimeo, of course.
Videos available from NASA and the ALMA observatory were also used.
The video (not audio) is under the Creative Commons BY-NC-SA licence, which I think is quite reasonable since every scene used from the source videos (ok, almost every scene) has lyrics/graphics embedded on it.
I hope you like it! I didn't have a lot of time to make this video but I like the result. The tools I used are not open source unfortunately, because the learning curve for these tools is quite steap. I will definitely try them in the future. Actually, I really haven't come across any alternative to Adobe After Effects. You might say Blender…but is it really an alternative? Any thoughts?
PS. More news soon for the Sopler project (a web application for making to-do lists) and other things I've been working on lately (like MQTT-SN).
2013 in review powered by WordPress
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a cute annual report for this blog for 2013 :) For 2014 I've bought tickets for FOSDEM 2014 to represent Sopler and share what cool things can happen with it.
Right now, I'm taking a look at Mozilla's version of the l10n.js library in order to localise Sopler (at least on FirefoxOS).
Well, that's it! Have a great 2014! By the way, for this year, the 3-years-in-a-row champion is again "My Fedora 15 tweaks for an SSD" (ok, it accumulates all previous years but nevertheless it still gets views). I guess they've become even more popular! (both Fedora and SSDs).
PS. A weird thing to say but, if anybody works for a new wave/post-punk/indie rock record label, comment or PM me! I got good news for you from Wonky Doll and the Echo.
Making a Tabzilla clone using Bootstrap
Hi, as you might have noticed Sopler has a navigation menu very similar to that of Mozilla's Tabzilla…but it's not :)
I think Tabzilla is a great tool but while making Sopler's front-end with Bootstrap I faced a problem integrating it. I had to use a string in order to place HTML inside my menu. That'ss very restrictive. But, I found a similarity between a component of Bootstrap and Tabzilla!
I have no idea if someone else has found that out too, but it's the same effect with Bootstrap's accordion. It expands & retracts.
In this post I will use the template of the navbar-fixed-top example from Bootstrap 3. Go get it here (Download source). It's in the examples folder. Tabzilla is not fixed so I think we have an improvement here. Anyway, someone might find it too much, so, to implement my example on the navbar-static-top, you won't need the javascript code at the end of this post. Here is a demo for navbar-static-top (not the navbar-fixed-top I mentioned before): http://jsbin.com/EkAweqA/1/ (press the Menu button)
The whole trick is to place the "accordion-body" div above the "accordion-heading" and then write a few lines of Javascript to change the navbar's position from fixed to relative….and that's it!
Go to the navbar-fixed-top example, open index.html and replace everything between:

(this is NOT the first div class="container" you'll find, it's the one in line 69)

Put any HTML goodies you want here!

 <button type="button" id="menu_button" class="btn btn-primary navbar-btn" data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#accordion2" href="#collapsemenu">Menu</button>
 Brand name

Now, we need to create two more classes at the navbar-fixed-top.css (it's next to index.html inside the navbar-fixed-top folder) :
.login-box{ white-space:nowrap; top:0; width:100%; background:#fff; overflow: hidden; } .inner_box{ margin:0 auto; max-width:57em; text-align:center; }
Of course you can style it the way you want! And finally let's go to the footer of the page (under the jquery.js call) and put this script (not useful for the navbar-static-example):

Let's explain the script! We use the isopen variable (line 3) which is set to false by default. It's working like a switch. If the menu is not open and we click the Menu button then the page scrolls to the top and the position of the bar is set to relative. If we click the button again then the navbar's position is se to fixed. We don't need to scroll because when the menu is open the bar won't move from its place anyway (that's why we used relative).
If all goes well, when you click the Menu button it should look like that:
Introducing Sopler, a new open web application!
Here are some exciting news: The last two of months I've been part of a promising project. We made a web application that uses open standards (and it's open source). It's called Sopler and we are the Sopler project. I worked on the UI/UX design part (meaning, HTML5, CSS3, JQuery etc) and oh boy…I've learned a lot of new stuff (like Bootstrap 3, FirefoxOS etc) and there are lot's of things to post on this blog in the near future.
What can you do with Sopler? Make a list, add some items and share the link with your friends.They can add or check some items, make comments etc…
Sopler is still in Beta but you can check our code on Github. Enjoy our new video (with english & greek subtitles available):
What can't you see in the video? Sopler can "remember" all previous lists of an authorized user (who signed in using a social account), plus, his privileges over any item are greater than those of a non-authorized user.
That's because a social account profile makes a user unique and in this way it's easy to map a user to his list.
Yes, Sopler is on many social networks too: Facebook, Twitter & Google+
So, see you soon with more news :)
MSP430 + Eclipse CDT on Fedora 19
Hello! This is a guide to install Eclipse and everything required to flash your project to a MSP430 board :)
First, you need to install Eclipse CDT (the Eclipse version using the C/C++ IDE) and there are three ways:
- Go the Eclipse's website, download and install it yourself
- Use Fedora's "Software" application (which is PackageKit, the GUI of yum) and search for "eclipse-cdt"
- Use your terminal, type su, press enter, give your root password and then type yum install eclipse-cdt. Type "y" to install all dependencies required for eclipse-cdt :)
After you have successfully installed Eclipse CDT you can continue to the main course. We need a plugin for MSP430 called msp430-eclipse by xPG. Don't download anything yet. We'll use Eclipse for that!
Now, open Eclipse go to Help->Install new software and add http://eclipse.xpg.dk as a software source. Use it to install the msp430 plugin.
Next, we need a tool-chain that includes all files to compile, debug etc our code specifically for our MSP430 platform! Visit xPG's website as mentioned previously. Scroll down and choose the version of the tool-chain for your system.
We will need to install a few packages more though as xPG's tool-chain is not sufficient (If you try to compile without those packages it will fail to find libmpc.so.2, or something like that). I fixed it by installing five msp430-related packages: msp430-binutils, msp430-gcc, msp430-libc, msp430mcu, mspdebug. Maybe some of them are not really needed but ok it's only a few Kbytes and in the end everything works well. You can use step 2 or step 3 from above!
If you are confident for your tool-chain and skipped my previous steps, you don't need to download any package (the next step), you just need to configure Eclipse later on.
Download and extract the package in an appropriate location (like your home folder, or any other folder inside it). Go to Eclipse (with the plugin already installed, like I showed you before) and from Eclipse's menu click on MSP430 -> Tool Manager. Press "Add…", find the tool-package folder, select it and click OK. On the Tool Manager, select the tool-chain and press "Activate".
If you want to use your own tool-chain, all MSP430 compilation and debug tools can be configured at Window->Preferences->MSP430.
As normal users we don't have permission to use the USB bus. To fix that, go to Fedora's "Users and Groups" or system-config-users (if you don't have that install it like all other packages). Create a group named eg. "usb" and add your user into it ("Users" tab -> select your user-> Properties). Log out and log in again for changes to take effect.
Next, go to a terminal, type "su -" and create a file with the command: gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/71-persistent-msp430.rules . Then, copy, paste and save this:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0451″, ATTRS{idProduct}=="f432″, MODE="0660″, GROUP="usb"
The numbers "0451" and "f432″ can be verified if you connect your board and use the command "lsusb". Now, go to a terminal for the last time and give these three commands:
systemctl restart systemd-udevd.service
systemctl restart systemd-udev-trigger.service
systemctl restart systemd-udev-settle.service
Now, let's make a new project and test what we've done. This will require a MSP430 board, hopefully supported by the plugin (which is very probable as you will notice). Create a new C/C++ project and select the "Empty project" at the "MSP430 Cross Target Application" folder. Give it a name and then click Finish.
Right-click the project at the "Project Explorer" and choose Properties. Go to the "MSP430″ section, select your MCU and debug settings. Next, go to the "C/C++ General" section -> Paths and Symbols, select GNU C at the "Includes" tab and include the path "/home/username/any_directory/msp430-toolchain-linux-amd64-3.0/msp430/include" (same for GNU C++)
Right-click the folder, create a src folder and place a source file into it preferably with a blink.c (a blinking LED example) file for your board such as this one in this blog. Don't forget to include your board's header file!
Build the project, then right-click the project and select MSP430->Upload to target (or use the icon for that job at the main bar).
The example should work and this brings us to the end of this tutorial :)
YouTube HTML5 Switch v0.1.7 & News
Long time no see! I've been busy outside the blog-sphere and I've got some news to share. First of all, I upgraded my Firefox Add-on to version 0.1.7. So here is the link:
All in all, the important addition is that you can now use the hotkey Control+Y instead of pushing the button on the toolbar. Plus, I think it now has no other issues for most new versions of Firefox. I need to point out that I get most of the help from the SDK's documentation which is great, but, to anyone interested, don't hesitate to contribute to its content! Restartless add-ons rule!
You may use it and see if it works on YouTube (yeah it works, at least for Firefox 21.0 w/ Fedora Linux) using this video:
Yes! It's the first video of the band I play with, directed by Kostas Gounaris. Cool huh? :)
I hope you'll like it as we put a lot of effort to complete it and guess what? There's also going to be a short film based on the song. I'll let you know!
Happy new year & YouTube HTML5 Switch v0.1.3
Happy new year everybody!!!
Here I am, once more, to announce the new version of my recent small project YouTube HTML5 Switch. I made quite a few additions to the previous version (for which I already made a post) and changes to it and it's on its way to become a fully reviewed add-on for Firefox :)
So what the 0.1.3 version does and has right now is:
- A navigation bar button using the toolbarbutton-jplib (and its depdencies) by erikvold
- a new 16×16 icon for better cross-platform compatibility (I know, it used to be prettier but I will make it again soon)
- It works only when "youtube.com/watch" has been opened
- It doesn't work if &html5=1 is already in the URL
- A clickable widget icon at the add-on bar.
What really changed is that now the navigation bar button is movable and its position is maintained if you open a new window etc. More fixes soon :)
Once again, the code is on my github repo. Of course, for any major change I will keep you posted :)
For those and only those who already use YouTube HTML5 Switch and will upgrade to v0.1.3: Don't worry if the old icon remains on the browser window. Just restart Firefox and everything will work fine!
————————- Ahem…ahem… Your attention please :) ————————————–
Update: The campaign ended successfully :)
Another project I want to talk about is one that's on Indiegogo, a crowdfunging website! It's for my band, Wonky Doll and the Echo. If you dig cinema and like our music please, have a look on our Double project: a music video & a short movie. We will collaborate with a director, Costas Gounaris, for our first music video! Our page is here: http://igg.me/p/297701/ Every cent counts and everyone wins gifts too!
By the way…this is the song of the music video:
YouTube HTML5 Switch (and other news)
Hello! Long time no see!
It's been a busy period and I have lots of news to share. First of all, I decided to have a look on the Mozilla Add-on SDK . It has a very simple API to create Add-ons for Firefox.
Anyway, I tried to come up with an idea of what would be my first Add-on. Hmmm…An Add-on that can make my web experience less annoying. Considering that I spend half of my time on YouTube to listen to songs (mostly), view videos etc, as a Linux user, I get really annoyed when the Flash plug-in crashes and I have to restart Firefox. You can always visit youtube.com/html5 to change that but what if you delete your cookies? It's a boring procedure.
So, what I thought was to make an Add-on that would simply add the "html5=1″ parameter on the URL. And I did it…well, kind of, it's now an experimental Add-on for Firefox. I need to add some more features for it to be considered as a proper Add-on. It's called "YouTube HTML5 Switch" and here it is at the Mozilla Add-ons website, and here is the source code on Github.
I currently develop the Add-on at the Add-on Builder (that means online). I will eventually download the SDK and try it on Fedora :) It's not the smartest Add-on in the world, but I think it's a good start for a newbie. By the way I need to say that the SDK's documentation is not very helpful and I needed to google a lot to write down a few lines of code. Anyway, in every "major" release I will be posting here any changes etc. You can also read the README.md on Github.
What's more? Wonky Doll and the Echo (the band where I play) are supporting I Like Trains here in Athens on December 15, 2012. You can check our Bandcamp page and listen to our songs. Now, if you have installed the Add-on you can test it with these video…if you go on YouTube of course :)
Some videos like this for instance don't have an HTML5 player so the plugin will not be of any use here.
Other videos though, do have have an HTML5 version and the plugin will work!
Disable NVIDIA on Sony VAIO VPCZ11X9E (Fedora 17) and more news
Hey! I know I haven't posted anything these past few months but I would have no excuse if I didn't post about that: I have disabled my NVIDIA card from the "Dynamic Hybrid Graphics System" of my Sony VAIO VPCZ11X9E.
A few more news: 2nd semester on my post-grad program was even better than the 1st one. Plus, the band I am participating in (both playing and composing), named Wonky Doll and the Echo, is about to release it's debut album! Feel free to listen to four of our songs on SoundCloud (even more links there :) )
Now, back to modifying our system, why would I want to disable my NVIDIA card? It's because what I can only get out of this "hybrid system" is only the performance of my Intel card at the cost of Intel + NVIDIA working together! That means, more heat and faster battery discharges! Oh, by the way, I am now using Fedora 17 which is a lot more stable than Fedora 16 I must say (thanks GNOME!).
What I need to tell you is that: If you don't know what you are doing, don't trust any guide like this (…or do things at your own risk) :) But you should know that in case of failure of this procedure, if you have at least once updated your kernel, you can just go back to the previous one and delete the files we will create. This will solve most of the crashes that might happen if you don't follow the instructions correctly.
The Bumblebee project is for resolving the NVIDIA Optimus problem, not SONY's hybrid system installed on some VAIO's. So, I didn't try that. What we are going to use is acpi_call which is a kernel module (tip: that means it needs to be compiled again after a kernel update :) )that will help us configure Fedora"s power management system in order to shut down the NVIDIA card.
My resources in order to learn how to shut down the card were mainly these:
We first need (as root) to download (lines 1-3), get inside the folder (line 4), compile (line 5, for that you need gcc, kernel-headers etc. if you don't know what all that is…ask someone!), install the module on the current kernel (lines 6-8) and test if it worked (that means the output of test_off.sh should get you one "works" next to a ACPI handle :
# yum -y update
# yum install git
# git clone https://github.com/mkottman/acpi_call
# cd acpi_call
# make
# cp acpi_call.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/acpi
# depmod -a
# modprobe acpi_call
# chmod +x ./test_off.sh
I got this one: Trying \_SB.PCI0.P0P2.DGPU._OFF: works! …which is great!
The result of the script will also be an increase of the battery duration (which I haven't tested yet as my battery died a few months ago) and a decrease in the temperature of your system (you can see that in your terminal if you install the lm_sensors package on "Add/Remove Software" or "yum install lm_sensors". The temprature of the NVIDIA card will drop to -1 degrees Celsious. The temprature of my CPU dropped approx. from 70 to 58 degrees!!!
Now you are able to shut down the NVIDIA card manually while you are using Fedora. Next, we have to make Fedora do this automatically in every boot.
As "su -" we will create a script named nvidia_off.sh :
# gedit /usr/local/bin/nvidia_off.sh
and inside this script you will paste this:
echo "——————————-" >> /var/log/nvidia.log
echo `date` >> /var/log/nvidia.log
echo "Disabling Nvidia video adapter !! " >> /var/log/nvidia.log
echo "——————————-" >> /var/log/nvidia.log
echo "\_SB.PCI0.P0P2.DGPU._OFF" > /proc/acpi/call
What's important is the first and the last line only. The last line might need modification from your part as the ACPI handler might be different for your system (if you have a different laptop than mine). The other lines are not compulsory. Since I use an SSD disc and have moved my /var/log folder in RAM that means logging this info is not really of value. But for everyone else who hasn't done this it's cool for debugging.
Now we need to modify the priviledges of this script with:
# chmod 775 /usr/local/bin/nvidia_off.sh
Next step is to configure our system to load the acpi_call module we installed in each boot. For that purpose we create a .conf file here (again with su -):
# gedit /etc/modules-load.d/acpi_call.conf
and just write or paste just this : acpi_call
Since we now know that our module will be loaded it is safe to execute our "nvidia_off.sh" script.
To do that we need to create another script in /etc/rc.d/ named "rc.local" (it used to exist in previous releases, now it doesn't):
# gedit /etc/rc.d/rc.local
and write down or copy-paste this:
/usr/bin/sh /usr/local/bin/nvidia_off.sh
The final step is to stop the nouveau driver get activated during startup, as it will crash your system. We need to edit grub2:
# gedit /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
in this file you must be able to recognise the kernel in which you have just installed acpi_call next to the word menuentry :) if you are not sure what's your current kernel just use the command "uname -r".
Now, right before the word quiet (which is before the command "echo 'Loading initial ramdisk …' ") paste this:
Yes, it blacklists the nouveau driver so that it will not load. If you boot succesfuly you will notice that the temprature of the NVIDIA card will not be mentioned anymore but the significant temprature drop will still be there. :)
New Linux OS, New University, New Album!
Hello world :)
I am writing this post from my freshly installed Fedora 16 (If you still haven't downloaded and installed yet I suggest you do it). I am really excited and proud I am using Gnome 3.2. It has achieved a tremendous change on how we must start to perceive our desktop environment. It also does this with style (with minimal touches that I really love). And so far is doing great in terms of stability. No freezes at all. OK, some small details on some drivers is my weak point but I have to blame the manufacturers for that. Well, something I always wanted to yell on the internet: WHY ON EARTH DON'T YOU RELEASE LINUX DRIVERS? …sigh. Anyway everything runs smoothly.
Moving on to our next subject. Well, it's about my studies. I am doing my master's degree at the University of Athens. It's an interdepartmental master of the Physics Department and the IT Department focusing on Electronics Automation…hell yeah. It's not easy, but I enjoy it so far :)
Now, to the last subject. I uploaded my new album on Jamendo!!! It's called "The pursuit of happiness".I think it's my best work so far…I have until now a very productive year. I hope the following years will be the same as this one. I don't want to say much, it would be better if you just listen :)
Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you enjoy it ! :)

Funny how you live with something for so long that you're discombobulated when it's done. MIami Book Fair International ended Sunday on a high note with Susie Essman and Andy Borowitz and an appreciative full house. I was tempted to go home (I confess, I was dying to see the Mad Men season finale) but decided to stick around, and I was glad I did. Although I must confess, as funny as they were, the event did not top Saturday's John Hodgman/Larry Wilmore appearance, which was twice as hilarious as most stand-up acts.
So many highlights, so many I saw, so many I missed. The book fair will be absolutely perfect when we can clone ourselves and attend more than one session at once. So many great moments, from thriller writer and former Miamian Paul Levine musing about how nothing has changed in the 10 years he's been gone ("I get off the plane and the first thing I read is that the entire city commission has been indicted...nobody's running the city, which is probably a good thing.") to the eloquent novelist Sarah Dunant telling her audience about reading a sexy book under the covers at night and being caught by her horrified mother ("Children should always push the boundaries.")
One of the best sessions of the fair was John Freeman (The Tyranny of Email) and Hal Niedzvieckl (The Peep Diaries: How We're Learning to Love Watching Ourselves and Our Neighbors), a thought-provoking look at YouTube culture and the way email, Facebook and Twitter run (and ruin) our lives. I'm not sure Mr. Freeman has persuaded me to start writing letters again, but he's definitely convinced me I should read his book (and also possibly consider spending a bit less time on FB.)
Another great discovery at the fair: Michael Thomas, author of the novel Man Gone Down, whose appearance on the PEN International panel was so compelling I walked right out of the Chapman Conference Center and bought his book (he also appeared with Ben Greenman and Jonathan Lethem on Sunday).
So we're done for another year (during which we hope Miami Dade College finishes construction on the Auditorium, because those a/c units in the tents acting as substitutes drove us all crazy by the end of Sunday). Now, it's time to settle down with all those books whose authors we heard, met and liked. Happy reading.

Senator Scott Brown and Elizabeth Warren, his Democratic challenger, like to talk about how they crisscross the state to meet voters. But a Boston Globe analysis of both candidates' public schedules shows they are spending much of their time in the Boston media market, appearing at made-for-television events designed to keep them in the news cycle.
The biggest losers in that calculation may be Western Massachusetts voters. Even as Governor Deval Patrick has showered the area with attention — during his campaigns and his two terms in the corner office — the candidates for Senate seldom visit. Tonight's debate in Springfield will mark only the second visit to the state's third-largest city by each candidate since July 4, according to the Globe tally, which analyzed their public schedules from that day forward.

Although temperatures were in the teens and 20s for much of the Delaware Valley Tuesday, FOX 29 Chief Meteorologist Scott Williams says it actually felt much colder.
Bitter cold air has moved into our area, with temperatures as low as 19 degrees in the Philadelphia area Tuesday morning. But those are just the air temperatures, when you factor in the wind, the temperatures felt much colder.
CHECK: Latest weather conditions in your neighborhood and weather alerts on myfoxphilly.com.
In Philadelphia, temperatures felt more like 4 degrees. In areas around Lancaster, Pennsylvania, it felt more like 2 below.
The cold air is here to stay for Wednesday morning, with temperatures in the single digits. Scott Williams recommends you dress for what the temperatures feel like rather than the actual air temperatures themselves.
As for the rest of the week, FOX 29 Weather Authority is tracking snow in the forecast for Friday.
As it stands now, Scott Williams says the likely track could bring between 1-3 inches of snow to our area. The snow is expected to develop during the day and continue into the evening.
On Monday night, the brief snowfall that hit the area caused accidents and forced PennDOT crews to shut down several roads as drivers tried to navigate through icy conditions.
You can keep an eye on the traffic conditions on the myfoxphilly.com traffic page.

WHITEWATER (WKOW) - Eight incoming freshman on the Wisconsin football team are on the roster for the big school WFCA All Star game which will kick off Saturday at 5pm in Oshkosh. Alec James and Chikwe Obasih will man the defensive line for the South team, with Matt Hubley in the defensive backfield. Walkons Joe Ferguson, Connor Senger and Aidan McNamara are also on the South team. Receiver Jazz Peavy likely won't play, after injuring his hamstring earlier in the week while running sprints. Ben Hemer is the lone Badger on the North team.
The South squad practiced all week at UW-Whitewater, under the direction of Mt. Horeb/Barneveld head coach Travis Rohrer. The week has been a grind for most of the future Badgers, as they've attended classes in Madison each morning, and then driven to Whitewater to attend practice in the afternoon. While there is always a risk for injury in an All Star game, the players say UW head coach Gary Andersen is in support of their participation in this event, since it raises money for the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin.
The small school All Star game (Divisions 4-7) is at noon in Oshkosh.

Paul Burnim
We are retired educators who found Vieques a wonderfully desireable location to relax from all the many activities and challenges in our lives. It is a great place to be with friends and family.
Vieques is an enchanting island location full of natural beauty and stilled unspoiled by commercialization and overcrowded beaches. We began enjoying and returning to the island from our first visit in 2005, and have treasured each trip here.
This in-town apartment is a short walk to the markets, the stores and many restaurants. The Atlantic Ocean is just down the street and swimming or just enjoying sunsets become a daily routine. Most events are at the Town Square or the Fort - both within an easy walk from the apartment.

Revup: Yes I noticed that too. I have been trying to get it smooth but not much luck. I even turned down sharpening all the way to "0", and tried your settings, still getting jagged lines. Is that my settings that is causing the jagged lines? What might be causing this?
Still investigating on this end, initially I thought it was the settings..as of right now, I'm not a 100% positive on this phenomenon. Though not all of my photos have this effect from 7/4 only a hand full and they have been deleted though of the ones I kept, a few still have a slight saw blade look. I did look at the original RAW files and zoomed on screen to 100% to make sure it wasn't the monitor and the problem lessens a bit. Try that on your end, see if at 100% view in the affected areas if the issue is diminished or not.
Update: just downloaded your photo and opened the JPG at 100%. The issue diminishes greatly. This tells me the dimensions of your upload are too high. Try resizing your image to a 800 width, upload here, then we can see if that works. I did mine at 1920x1280 then posted the Medium BBCode off flickr into the thread above and they seem OK

COATESVILLE — Volunteer fire departments across the county operate on extremely tight budgets, so obtaining a newer model fire engine is not usually feasible.
But the Mill Creek Fire Department here will soon have a much newer engine, thanks to the generosity of the Brownsburg Fire Territory.
Officials with the BFT announced at last week's Brownsburg Town Council meeting that they were donating their 1996 model engine, since they had purchased a new one last fall that's more equipped to handle their high volume of runs.
"Obviously our equipment is more outdated than most in the county, seeing as we're the smallest (fire department) out here," Mill Creek Fire Department Fire Chief Tim Williams said. "It'll allow us to combine a couple of trucks into one truck. It was much appreciated. It's going to allow us to upgrade. We're going to have to have repair work done on it, but once we get that done, it's a truck that'll last us forever."
Williams said his department averages about 325 runs a year, as opposed to Brownsburg, which had 3,488 runs in 2012.
Mill Creek's current fire engine is a 1983 model. When it was purchased in 1996, the engine cost more than $290,000. Williams said an engine in a model like that is typically set to run for 300,000 miles.
BFT Fire Chief William Brown said his department does 10 times the runs as Mill Creek so they had a need for a newer engine.
"(Tim Williams) asked us what we were going to do with the old engine when we purchased the new one, and they're a volunteer department with limited funds in need of a new engine," Browns said. "We believe in neighbors helping neighbors here in Hendricks County and it was worth more value for us to do that than try and scrap it out or re-sell it."
Williams said the next step is to raise funds for the engine's needed repairs. He's still in the process of getting quotes and hopes to have fundraisers.
In the end, he said, having this engine could save lives in his community.
"Our budget is only around $45,000 a year," Williams said. "We're hoping to put together some sort of mailer where we could mail out to residents. This day and age, we understand that it's really tough to get people to donate. We're all volunteers. A lot of times we respond from home. Everybody here has to have a full-time job.
"(The donation) was a really nice gesture. They could have easily sold it or done something else with it because they didn't need it anymore. It's things like this that help keep us afloat. Everybody here is excited about it. To them, it's like a new truck. Even though it's older and needs some repair, it's nicer than what we currently had."
Brown said the BFT's new engine cost around $470,000 and that trucks typically last 12 to 15 years for his department, so they did get a lot of life out of the last one.
He also said one positive for their own department is that down the road, that engine could come back and be helpful to them on a run.
"As we've seen, fire can strike anywhere — any community, large or small, urban, metro, or rural," Brown said. "(The engine) is within our own county, so if the need ever were to arise and we had a really large fire, we can always come and help or they can help us and be using that engine."
Williams said that donations for the work to be done on the truck may be mailed to the Mill Creek Fire Department, P.O. Box 167, Coatesville, IN 46121.

New commercial contract for FIA, F1 teams approved
PARIS (AP) - A new agreement between motor sport's governing body, Formula One teams and F1's commercial rights holder about the terms of racing has been approved.
F1 has been racing without the Concorde Agreement- which sets the framework upon which F1 teams participate in the championship and share in its commercial success- since the end of last year.
Following months of difficult discussions between the organizations, the FIA and the Formula One Group said during the Hungarian Grand Prix in July that they agreed on the basis of a new deal.
In a statement on Friday, the FIA said that framework "has now come into force following the approval of the respective governing bodies of the signatory parties."

4.2/5 rDev -2.3%
The Beers of California
Bottled Date: None
A: Orange to amber with creamy white head of foam which settles to a thin island with a corresponding ring on the glass.
S: Big sour tartness with a significant dose of fruity sweetness and lemony zest.
T: A swift, sour tartness shocks the palate. This is followed by some funk and mold. The sweetness is minimal but notes of lemon, banana, and peach bring contrast to the puckering opening. The wood comes out intermittently in the middle which, along with grain, crackers, and honey sweetness, brings smoothness to the palate. The finishing is puckering dry with notes of earthy spice.
M: Syrupy linger but manages to keep nice and light with good supporting carbonation.
O: A great sour brewed without the addition of fruit. I am partial to the sours with added fruit, but Sour in the Rye manages to impress me with the breadth and harmony of its nuances.

Thanks to Jeff for splitting his bottle. Now that this is available in Michigan, I can decide whether or not it's worth dropping 17-18$ on a few bottles for myself. Super clear and clean amber body with a fuzzy and fizzling, off-white cap. The head sparks up like foam from a soda and is gone in just a few moments. I've gotta say... I wasn't expecting this kind of clarity from a wild ale, but it looks really nice.
Whew... crazy tart aroma. The kind of aroma that stings your nostrils and gets jettisoned into your brain cells, sending your saliva glands into sprinkler mode. Lots and lots of vinegar, lactic acid and wet oak, accompanied by lighter fruit reminders like lemon flesh, peels, and wet cherry skins. Tannins abound with some woody dryness at the end. This is going to be tart... I just know it.
First sip causes immediate puckering of the lips, cheeks touching, glands sweating, etc... Super tart up-front, no holds barred type of shit here. Wincing white wine vinegar, soaked oak, acidic and lactic acid, prompt stone fruit skins, a touch of lemon juice, and the most faint appearance of dry rye in the finish. Perhaps my senses are tricking me with the rye dryness... it could be a quality of the oak-aging as well.
Sour in the Rye is a sourheads dream, but be warned - while there is plentiful vinous presence here, white grapes, oak, and the like, the vinegar aspect outweighs it by quite a bit. I know many sour fans who aren't too keen on the heavy "vinegar" flavors, but luckily - I am, and so Sour in the Rye floats almost every boat that I have. Thin, wet, crispy and sharp mouth feel with a gum line receding dryness in the finish.
Very awesome stuff, if you're into puckeringly sour and vinegar-laden wild ales. This brew isn't for everyone, but it's certainly for me. Although it's sometimes hard to justify spending nearly 20$ for a bottle of beer, I think I can easily make a case in my mind to keep a few bottles of Sour in the Rye stocked at all times, when I'm in the mood for something white wine-y and sour.

MIND-BLOWING. I've drank around 10 bottles of this beer, and each time I have it, it's the same reaction; brilliant.
A: Striking orange-gold combo.
S: Vinegar-citrus awesomeness. Super tarty smell that sets you up for what you're about to drink.
T: BOOM. Huge hits of tarty goodness and citrus. So well rounded and beautiful your head may explode.
M: Perfection in the carbonation department. Well-balanced all the way through. Each sip gets better and better. When the end of the bottle comes, you want to cry.
D: Usually too many sours in one day will upset my stomach, but if I had a large supply of this beer, I could probably clean it all out. Soured perfection.
If you haven't had it, GET IT NOW.

Bottle into a Bruery tulip
A - Pours a beautiful clear copper with one and a half fingers of white head. Head has pretty good retention before fading to a collar. Surprisingly high amount of lacing left behind. Slow but steady stream of rising carbonation.
S - Smell is somewhat subtle, but contains some tart lemon, mild funk and oak.
T - Initial tartness is quite mild, with a pretty high malt presence, though more tartness does eventually come out. Tartness is on the lemony end of the spectrum. There is a bit of earthiness and faint spice, but I am struggling to pick up much in the way of rye. Pretty good though.
M - Medium mouthfeel with some earthy dryness and a tart finish.
O - Definitely brings something different to the sour arena. While it isn't my favorite sour, or even favorite sour from the Bruery, I can appreciate that they were doing something a bit different with this one.

On tap por into tulip
Appearance is copper like/wild ale looking..smell is funky with alittle sweetness, somewhat subued, not complex aromas. Taste is strickingly sour all the way through, (what i expect from a sour) nice citrus and like rind flavor, woth the barrel pulling this through..mouthfeel is light..carbonation is medium..leaves a nice feeling on the toungue from the dry fruity flavor and sour appeal..not sweet at all. Overall a well executed beer with enough sour notes and barrel influence. Nice for a sipper on a hot summer day/night. Refreshing for a sour..pair with dried fruit, stinky cheeses, watermelon/fruity salads..

CATEGORIES MoviesThe week's biggest release is not a new flick straight from the theater desperate to recoup some profits, but a collector's edition of one of the greatest movies of all time. Whether you're DVD or Blu-ray, streaming or rental, we've got the breakdown on all the home entertainment releases for the week -- as well as a special exclusive look at the "Casablanca" 70th anniversary Blu-ray box set.
Moviefone's New Release Pick of the Week "Corman's World: Exploits of a Hollywood Rebel" What's It About? "Corman's World" offers a comprehensive look at the king of Hollywood B-movies, Roger Corman; the documentary features interviews with everyone from Jack Nicholson to Martin Scorsese ruminating on the filmmaker's long and notorious career. See It Because: It's an amazingly entertaining exploration of one of the most fascinating corners of film history. While the highbrow merits of Corman's movies are practically non-existent, his prolific and innovative work ethic has given us decades of film pop fun.

"Breaking Wind" No... just no. See It or Skip It: Skip it. Also Available on Amazon Instant Video
"A Dangerous Method" With David Cronenberg directing, Viggo Mortensen as Sigmund Freud and Michael Fassbender as Carl Jung, we're left with only one question... Why was this so underwhelming?

I am a whore for any form of celebrity and glamour, including any uptight schmuck gracing a society page. I will position myself at any event so as to be photographed as much as possible and on the rare occasion that I actually worm my way into a party of any societal significance, I will instantly recognize a myriad of people simply by having read about their fabulousness in those back sections of local magazines and newspapers where they write about anyone with money as if they're rock stars.
I am desperate to be one of those uptight schmucks, and if they refuse to have me, (which they appear to be doing) I'll have to revert to instinct.
If you can't join them, mock them.
First of all, it's not like any of these people actually care about the issues they're fundraising for. Like Anne Getty's ever heard of land mines or abortion or trees. Second of all, there's a pathetic genius to the self congratulatory party photo-op, their bizarre hyphenated names listened beneath themselves like we're actually supposed to know who they are. Finally, whenever I encounter them in real life, it's always a let down.
However, there's one gal who's graced the San Francisco society pages since the beginning of time, the grande dame in fact, of anything important, fancy and hoity toity in all of our fair city. I have met Charlotte Schultz twice and both times, she was appallingly delightful. Honorary Roomie even worked for her at Gavin's office a couple of years ago, and had nothing to report but glowing reviews (other than the fact that you couldn't drink water out of bottles. It always had to be in a glass.) I was allowed to accompany HR to one of Charlotte's fabulous soirees and as we watched her give a speech, sitting jealously at the open bar, we both agreed that we completely aspired to be this flawless demonstration of class, clad in Chanel and being nice to dishwashers.
So you can imagine my dismay this afternoon, when flipping through the Nob Hill Gazette (Luxury, Legends and Loquacity issue) and read the following quote from Charlotte, referring to the President (of the United States) arriving early for a party she was throwing him at her Stanford home.
"I dropped everything, ran up to the third floor, grabbed my suit and pantyhose, putting on the pantyhose running down the stairs. It wasn't easy. I think the Secret Service men know me better than my doctors. So they're helping me fasten my pearls, I'm carrying my shoes, putting on earrings, the cars pulls up and the President gets out while I'm still zipping my skirt. My lovely Filipina lady goes outside, walks right up to him and freezes. "Come on." He says to her. "Let's get a picture taken. You look wonderful."
Calling her lovely doesn't make it okay to call her yours.

Charlotte Mailliard Schultz is a serial widow who is currently married to one of the most evil men in the world, the nearing-age-90 George Schultz who basically put together the current Bush administration, including his protege, Ms. Condi.
I've known a few people who were on the other side of disagreements with Ms. Charlotte over the years, and the consensus opinion seems to be that she's Totally Shrewd and Evil.

CATEGORIES Drama, Independent, Deals, Cinematical Indie, Movies, CinematicalWhat do Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung and David Cronenberg have in common? The first two are considered the founding fathers of psychoanalysis; the latter will be making a film about them. According to ScreenDaily.com, Cronenberg's next project "will be an adaptation of Christopher Hampton's play The Talking Cure, re-teaming him with Crash producer Jeremy Thomas."
Hampton's play, which premiered in December 2002, is set in the early 20th Century and centers on Jung, portrayed on the London stage by Ralph Fiennes. A review by Lizzie Loveridge at CurtainUp says that Hampton "looks at the issues which initially united these two pioneering psychiatrists and that which eventually divided them and took them off into other areas of investigation." The narrative then plunges into the relationship between Jung and an 18-year-old Russian woman who was his first patient. The CurtainUp reviewer felt that the 2 hour and 25 minute play "tells us more about Jung's affairs than his ideas."
Cronenberg always seems to be shuffling priorities on his projects, dependent on financing and other factors that are probably out of his control, but the combination of Cronenberg and psychoanalysis sounds potent, a great match of filmmaker and subject, and probably a welcome change of pace for the director after A History of Violence and Eastern Promises. Producer Jeremy Thomas has an excellent track record; in addition to Crash, he and Cronenberg worked together on Naked Lunch. No word on casting yet, but Fiennes previously gave an excellent performance in Cronenberg's Spider, so I imagine he would be first in line to recreate Jung on the big screen.

Educators to share innovative teaching methods
Lindsay Davidson is concluding her term as the Chair in Teaching and Learning by co-sponsoring a symposium that supports her main objective when she took the position in 2008.
"As the chair, I really wanted to bring together people across campus and disciplines so they could share their innovative and active-learning techniques," says Dr. Davidson, an associate professor in the Department of Surgery who hosted a similar event in 2009.
Wednesday's Adventures in Active Learning symposium is a "swap shop" where teachers and educational developers gather in small groups to have informal conversations about the learning methods they use in their teaching. There will also be demonstrations of simulation-based teaching and an expert-led conversation about new ideas for educational space planning.
Dr. Davidson believes networks formed at the symposium will ensure discussions about active learning continue in the future, which is essential as the university implements the Queen's University Academic Plan 2011. The student learning experience – with an emphasis on inquiry and active learning – is one of the four main pillars of the plan that was recently endorsed by Senate.
Participants can attend two of the 24 sessions. Some of the highlights among the diverse topics include:
• James Fraser (Physics) on "Just in Time Teaching";
• Heather Murray (School of Medicine) on building research capacity in undergraduate medicine;
• Jennifer Hosek (Languages, Literatures and Culture) on how geographically-distant students can use a web tool to learn from each other.
Participants can win one of 11 educational books at the reception following the symposium. Queen's community members are invited to submit descriptions of their own innovative teaching methods at the symposium or by email. These will be featured at a future symposium and all submissions will be entered into a draw in January for an iPad2.
Participants are asked to pre-register for the symposium which takes place on December 7 from 4:15 pm to 6:30 pm at the new School of Medicine building.
