X Input 2.2 Multi-Touch Is Feeling Good
Published on 08 February 2012 06:41 AM EST

Michael Larabel
3 Comments
X.Org Server 1.12
, which will be officially released in March, is looking good when it comes to proper multi-touch support as
exposed via X Input 2.2
Red Hat's Peter Hutterer who originally devised Multi-Pointer X (MPX) for X.Org and other input advancements in recent years was one of the developers (along with Daniel Stone and Chase Douglas) responsible for X Input 2.2 for these improvements. Peter spoke this past weekend in Brussels at
about these input improvements.
While there's already been
a lot to read about Multi-Touch / Xi2.2
, for those wanting to learn more or find out all of the details in video forum, here's a Phoronix video recording of Peter's X Input 2.2 talk.
Yes, there's also an X.Org multi-touch demo as part of his presentation at the end.
It's still expected that soon
the multi-touch improvements will be merged into GTK+
to take advantage of X Input 2.2 within the GNOME desktop.

The only real "line" was boarding the ship. The 4000+ people pushed Miami's cruise terminal G to the limit. At 1:30, the boarding line was way beyond the endless snaking barrier straps so that those waiting to check in had to cross those in the boarding line. It was a cross between a managed mess and organized chaos, but it progressed fairly quickly once boarding started. Once on board, there were too few giving directions and everyone was more or less on their own. And closed fire doors blocked access to cabins until 3:00.
Baggage delivery seemed to be better than most ships, with only a few having to wait to around late-seating dinner for their luggage.
The cabins are status quo with one exception: the beds. Great pillow top mattresses and outstanding linens made for truly sweet dreams.
The biggest and most positive change I noticed was the entertainment. The sets, lighting, and technological advancements made for some truly outstanding shows and a few jaw-dropping "wow" moments. Unfortunately, there were no "headliner" appearances, but I thoroughly enjoyed all the shows as being different, fresh and professional. Not quite Cirque du Soleil, but headed that way.
The public areas were extremely well done and creatively used. The Royal Promenade was a stunning place to hang out; the Flow Rider was popular day and night, and the Ice Show was top notch and used for several other fun events and parties. The outdoor pool decks were crowded, and selfish passengers "reserved" their personal all-day-deck-chairs with towels, books, and beach bags by 9 a.m. Grrrrr. The solarium is not nearly as lush on this ship as it is on others, and the adults-only policy was ignored by more selfish passengers and teenagers in the hot tubs.
Speaking of non-US passports, one of the biggest plusses on a ship this large is the increased diversity of passengers. It was a true and enjoyable melting pot that made for an interesting mix at one big party. Bring on the Genesis class ships!

wireless local area network
<networking> (WLAN /W-lan/, or "LAWN" /lorn/, sometimes "WiLAN" /wi-lan/) A communication system that transmits and receives data using modulated electromagnetic waves, implemented as an extension to, or as an alternative for, a wired LAN. WLANs are typically found within a small client node-dense locale (e.g. a campus or office building), or anywhere a traditional network cannot be deployed for logistical reasons.
Benefits include user mobility in the coverage area, speed and simplicity of physical setup, and scalability. Being a military spin-off, WLANs also provide security features such as encryption, frequency hopping, and firewalls. Some of these are intrinsic to the protocol, making WLANs at least as secure as wired networks, and usually more so. The drawbacks are high initial cost (mostly hardware), limited range, possibility of mutual interference, amd the need to security-enable clients.
The established protocols are covered by IEEE 802.11. Recent developments include the Bluetooth project and other WPAN, or Personal Area Network initiatives, accessible through IEEE 802.15 working group.

Having the right hairstyle is important when it comes to a great workout. You can always opt for a fuss-free workout-friendly short hairstyle, but for a less-drastic solution, try one of these five hairstyles that keep your focus on your workout and not what's happening on your head! Source: Getty Top Knot What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The top knot or braided bun is a great all-around hairstyle for many types of workouts and hair lengths. It gets your hair out of the way whether you're lying on your back in yoga or Pilates, and prevents hair getting in your face during all that high-movement activity (like these CrossFit workouts). Just remember: be generous with the bobby pins, and use a no-slip headband if you've got short flyaways. Source: Getty 1 / 5 French Braid What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A french braid is a great workout style since it keeps all layers of your hair pulled back from your face, and won't get in the way of any cycling helmets or swimming caps. Never successfully done one on yourself? Bella's got you covered with a step-by-step tutorial. Source: Flickr User bl0ndeeo2 Source: Thinkstock 2 / 5 Headband Braid What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The trendy headband braid is the perfect way to keep any sweaty bangs or shorter layers away from your face, which makes an ideal hairstyle for intense cardio sessions and sweaty circuits. Source: Getty 3 / 5 Braided Pigtails What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Pigtail braids aren't just for the kids — this is the perfect hairstyle for many different types of workouts, from cycling (your hair won't get in the way of the helmet) to mat classes (another way to keep you comfortable while you're bending and twisting on your back). Source: Thinkstock 4 / 5 Ponytail Braid What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Here's another incredibly versatile hairstyle: a low ponytail braid. Whether it's a quick messy version like Minka Kelly's or a sleek 'do that'll keep your hair out of your eyes, a low ponytail braid can help tame long hair during a workout better than a ponytail — no hair whips in the face! — which means it's great for your cardio workout, whether it's spin class or the treadmill.

Lending a Helping Hand
By AMANDA OWENS
Peace Corps Response Antigua 2010
Peace Corps Mauritania 2006-2008
The difference between my first assignment in Peace Corps and my second one with Peace Corps Response is like night and day. Living and working in Mauritania, Africa, is vastly different from working in the Caribbean. For one thing, the needs and demands of the community are not the same. Similarly, I felt that the challenges I faced in Mauritania made my work in Antigua seem like a walk in the park.
Don't get me wrong, there were challenges in Antigua, but they were not as hard to overcome. In my first assignment, I worked as a teacher in a community that hosted Peace Corps Volunteers for over 10 years; as a result, the community knew and recognized Volunteers. In my first assignment, I also had three months of training and ample time at the site to learn about the culture, the languages, and my role as a teacher and gender and development Volunteer. As a Peace Corps Response Volunteer, you literally hit the ground running. The first time around, I had extensive training for my work in Peace Corps Mauritania; the second time around, I had six months to complete my assignment. With Peace Corps Response, I was part of a group of Volunteers serving in Antigua and Barbuda and we had five days of orientation in St. Lucia and the next week we were sent to work.
With Peace Corps Response, I served as a children's librarian at the Antigua Public Library. This project was developed in preparation for the library's re-location to a much bigger and more central location in the city. My role was to help revamp the department and train new staff to run the department. Given the short time I had to implement, I felt really blessed to be placed in an institution that had a strong sense of the direction it needed to go to succeed.
The department already had a few programs in the works, such as, Audio/visual Thursdays, Reading is Essential Program, and Friends of the Antigua Public Library Summer Reading Program. I reviewed the department's programs, spoke with the kids to see what they wanted, and worked with staff to make it happen in the library. An important aspect of this project was moving from a strictly children's department to a youth services department that served patrons from 5 to 15 years, and hosted activities in which all age groups could participate. We worked with what we had, and added what we could. I wanted to make the library a place not just for homework and research, but one where we could have fun with planned activities for parents and kids. In order to do this, we added monthly themes to the department, celebrated Earth Day, Best Friends Day, and other kid specific holidays. We added art and craft activities for Friday afternoons (Craft Friday). To get more involvement from the kids, we also added computer courses for the kids, and Summer Story Time.
Not only did I transition the Children's Department to the Youth Services Department, I trained two new members of the staff in the department. First and foremost, the staff was taught library basics. We worked with the adult library team on using the circulation software and on recording statistics to evaluate and monitor computer usage, new members for the month, books checked-out, and patrons late on returning books to the library. The staff and I worked together to create several new initiatives that were not previously part of the department.
Through our efforts, the department saw a huge increase in involvement from kids and parents. More and more parents became actively engaged in what their children were doing in the library and participated in the activities. Over 160 children signed-up for the summer reading program, a huge swell from the 60 kids the year before. Even as I prepared to leave, I worked with staff to create a calendar of events for the coming months.
Working with Peace Corps twice has given me the chance to grow professionally, to live in another part of the world and to realize once again how little our differences are and how many great opportunities exist to help each other. In the field, we tend to think that we are more like the "lone rangers," but I have come to understand that without help from each other we all fail. So whether in a devastating under-developed country like Mauritania, or in a beautiful tourist spot like Antigua and Barbuda, development will only succeed with help from the community.

Santos Notches Second Career Weekly Honor
MACON, Ga. - Throughout its championship season in 2007, Florida Gulf Coast ran its offense through setter Roberta Santos. That trend continues in 2008 as the senior directed the Eagles attack to open A-Sun play and powered the Eagles to a 2-0 conference start over the weekend. On Monday, the conference office named her Player of the Week for the second time in her career and first time for 2008.
The Recife, Brazil native led FGCU to a pair of victories on the week, as the Eagles swept past Stetson and Campbell to open A-Sun play. Santos paced the Eagle offense that hit .355 for the week. She also hit .520 herself while helping FGCU to its 27th straight win at Alico Arena. In addition to her rally-terminating prowess, the resort and hospitality management major coordinated the Eagle attack distributing 69 assists on the weekend.
The Atlantic Sun Conference is an 11-member league committed to Building Winners for Life, with a focus on academic and athletic integrity and a balance between the two for the student-athlete, and maintaining a high level of sportsmanship. Headquartered in Macon, Ga., the A-Sun encompasses six of the top eight media markets in the Southeast. The A-Sun consists of some of the most dynamic private and public institutions in the region: Belmont University, Campbell University, East Tennessee State University, Florida Gulf Coast University, Jacksonville University, Kennesaw State University, Lipscomb University, Mercer University, University of North Florida, University of South Carolina Upstate and Stetson University.
Other Top Performers
Libby Hansch, Mercer (So. – MB – Fort Collins, Colo. – Business) – Hansch recorded a .365 hitting percentage over the past week a now ranks eighth among all A-Sun players in that category.
Emily Werner, Campbell (So. – OH – Sarasota, Fla. – Elementary Education) – Posted a double-double with 14 kills and 10 digs in a 3-1 victory over Stetson.
Sara Bendorf, Jacksonville (Sr. – OH – Buckley, Wash. – Accounting) – For the week, she led the squad with 41 kills, a 3.15 kills per set average and 11 blocks while also hitting .263 (41-11-114) with 27 digs, a 2.08 digs per set average and four aces.

Police: Upper Darby day care operator left kid in hot car for 3 hours
An Upper Darby day care owner has been charged with child neglect after allegedly leaving a young boy in an SUV on Wednesday, when temperatures were in the 90s.
The 5-year-old boy was taken to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia in critical condition after he allegedly was left in the vehicle for up to three hours, the Delaware County Daily Times reports. He was dehydrated and suffering from hyperthermia.
Norma F. Davis, 58, the owner of PNP Family Play Center at 53 N. Union Ave., has been charged with reckless endangerment and endangering the welfare of a child, the paper reports.
Davis, of Yeadon, picked up the boy and two other children from Park Lane Elementary School at 3 p.m. He remained in the SUV until shortly after 6 p.m., when his mother arrived to the day-care facility to pick him up.
The boy could have died if he remained in the SUV for 30 more minutes, Upper Darby Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood told the paper.

Tapioca Starch Powder This modified tapioca starch has been designed to be free-flowing and non-clumping. It is unique because it is aluminum free and because it has been modified with a silicone. It is velvety smooth and imparts a soft after-feel to the skin.
It is great in body powders. If you've been having trouble with your body powders clumping, then this is the product for you. Use it 1:1 with your Arrowroot (or rice flour) to make a wonderfully luxurious body powder or glitter. Add some mica for a fun, sparkling touch.
We also love it in lotions and body butters to make the final product less greasy feeling. We love the light, dry, and silky finish Tapioca Powder gives to our creations.

Gold Prices Sink as Stocks Slip (Update 1)
Updated from 1:13 p.m. EST with settlement prices
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Gold prices on Thursday reversed the prior day's gains as the yellow metal was sinking as stocks moved mostly lower. Gold rose 1.3% on Wednesday.
Gold for April delivery dropped $19.60 to $1,662 an ounce at the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. The gold price traded as high as $1,681.70 and as low as $1,658.40 an ounce, while the spot price was falling $14.50, according to Kitco's gold index.
"I think markets are treading water and waiting for some new signal, or stronger signal plus or minus; I think in the short run we could go in either direction," said Jeffrey Nichols, senior economic adviser at Rosland Capital.Gold has traded in a tight range in recent days as investors have navigated through option expiration, a poor gross domestic product report and an unsurprising Federal Reserve policy-making announcement this past week. Traders are also poised to analyze the Bureau of Labor Statistics January employment situation report and the Institute for Supply Management Manufacturing survey, both expected to print Friday morning. Silver prices for March delivery lost 83 cents to $31.35 an ounce, while the U.S. dollar index was shedding 0.10% to $79.18. The Fed has closely pegged its policy of low interest rates to the unemployment rate and inflation -- the so-called dual mandate. The central bank has said that it would keep interest rates low for as long as unemployment remained elevated above about 6.5% and inflation below 2.5%. Should unemployment continue to slope down toward that 6.5% threshold, many analysts have suggested it could signal the eventual conclusion of the open-ended mortgage-backed securities and longer-term Treasuries purchases by the Fed. Nichols and other gold analysts have said that gold is stuck in a trading range for the near term and could move in either direction. But a decided pop or slump would require an unexpected trigger, such as a big drop in the unemployment rate, a sudden greater loosening of monetary policy or a meaningful uptick in global economic growth, among other scenarios. Ultimately, gold may hold higher as accommodative monetary policy in the U.S., Europe and Japan may continue through 2013, according to Nichols.

County urged to halt gravel extraction strategy (From Witney Gazette)

County urged to halt gravel extraction strategy
4:50pm Wednesday 20th February 2013 in News By Andrew Ffrench, Reporter covering Didcot and Wallingford. Call me on 01865 425425
CAMPAIGNERS against a plan to extract gravel from farmland between Cholsey and Wallingford say they have been given a boost by a planning inspector.
They have described as "a significant breakthrough" the news that Jonathan King has asked Oxfordshire County Council to put its countywide extraction plan on hold.
The council has now raised the possibility that the strategy could be withdrawn and re-submitted at a later date.
Under the scheme, 1.2m tonnes a year could be dug in Oxfordshire from the Lower Windrush Valley, Eynsham, Cassington, Yarnton, Sutton Courtenay and Caversham, with Cholsey replacing Sutton Courtenay for gravel extraction from 2020 for 25 years.
Government planning inspector Mr King has asked the council to suspend the examination of its strategy until the end of May, following the county council election.
Cholsey district councillor Mark Gray, a member of the Communities Against Gravel Extraction (CAGE) group, said: "I think this is a significant breakthrough and boosts the campaign's stance.
"The county council will still keep looking for places where they can extract gravel, so our fight isn't over yet."
County spokesman Marcus Mabberley said: "Following recent helpful dialogue with the inspector, it has been mutually agreed that the examination process will be suspended until the end of May this year.
"The council will decide how it wishes to progress the strategy at its meeting in May. It may decide to press ahead with the plan as currently submitted, or it may wish to withdraw it, do some further work and re-submit it."
Mr King has asked the council for more information about how it has engaged with other local authorities on its gravel strategy. Villagers in Cholsey and Wallingford residents have been fighting the county's minerals and waste plan since it was approved last March, saying it would harm the countryside and damage the area's tourist trade.
Helen Wilson, programme officer for Mr King, said the examination in public hearings could now be delayed until September, but the council said it was not possible at this stage to say when the hearings would be.

Governor Chris Christie's approval rating and credibility remain strong despite the scandal over major traffic problems on the George Washington Bridge deliberately created as political payback. That's the finding of a new poll on the governor and the scandal. Governor Christie's approval numbers would be the envy of most elected officials, but they have clearly taken a hit, in the face of recent scandal.
The Quinnipiac Poll shows 55%of New Jerseyans approve of the job Christie's doing. That's good, but its way down from the sky-high 74% approval rating he enjoyed last February.
The revelation that Christie aides and appointees deliberately snarled traffic leading from Fort Lee to the George Washington bridge, an apparent act of political retribution, is on everyone's mind.
66 % of those asked, believe that claim that he did not order the lane closures but 41% believe he knew what his aides were up to.
Of course, Christie is widely viewed as a front-runner for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, but 56 % of those surveyed, believe the Bridge scandal will damage or end his White house aspirations.
That number includes a majority of self-described independent voters, who have long been Christie backers. On Thursday, the state assembly will formally create the super-committee that will investigate "bridgegate."
A special counsel has been named. Reid Schar is the man who put former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich behind bars.
52 % of those questioned by Quinnipiac believe democratic law makers ers are conducting legitimate probes that this isn't just a witch hunt.

Careers event at Sydenham School spells tech success
10:08am Wednesday 19th December 2012 in Bromley By Heloise Wood, reporter
A GIRLS' school held a technology careers event to celebrate a £23 million redevelopment.
Sydenham School, which specialises in science and maths, organised the fair this month so that students could learn about the professions involved in the site's three-year revamp due to start in January.
Billed as a Building Schools for the Future Story-Board the event enabled the girls to quiz female practitioners representing science, technology and engineering.
Headteacher Carolyn Unsted said: "It is an ideal opportunity for us and so this is the first in a whole series of ways in which we aim to turn the building works to our students' advantage, integrating it within our curriculum and using it as a means of broadening their horizons."
Watkins Grey International is designing the new school and its surrounding landscape in Dartmouth Road and sent along architect Stephanie Bryan.
She told the pupils: "One of the great pleasures and challenges you face as an architect is having to problem-solve every day."

Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Public health policy today has to deliver in an increasingly complex environment. As the world becomes more interconnected, we are challenged to develop comprehensive policy responses to the cross- border political, social and economic effects of globalization.
In search for sustainable solutions to some of the pressing challenges of our time, the purpose of this special issue is to invite multifaceted discussions across national borders and academic disciplines. Very welcomed are theoretical analysis papers as well as case studies exploring the complex issues that challenge policy makers.
Key question include: What have we learned from the global health debate of the last ten years? What new forms of governance for health are emerging at various levels of governance? What role does public policy play in the face of an increasing array of health actors, in particular the private sector and civil society? What is the global responsibility of the rising powers and emerging economies? What new issues of representation and legitimacy are emerging? How do national and international health policies interface – particularly with reference to global public goods?
What new role do regional organisations and "clubs" play? How do international organisations need to change to be relevant and effective? Can the lessons learned from addressing infectious diseases be applied to the global burden of non-communicable diseases? How can ethical, economic and political considerations be balanced as the basis of every health policy? What approaches have governments taken to increase coherence, transparency and accountability for health across different ministries? How should different stakeholders be involved in the process of preparation and implementation?
Together with the whole team of the Journal, we are looking forward to an interesting debate that will highlight multitude of perspectives and best practices!

Message to the ODU Community from Acting President Broderick on the 9/11 Anniversary
Tomorrow our nation will solemnly observe the seventh anniversary of the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
As we recall the events of that terrible morning, I ask that you take a moment to remember the victims and their loved ones. Those who were lost will always hold a special place in the hearts and minds of Americans.
I also ask that you remember the heroes of that day and in the weeks and months that followed. Their sacrifices, selflessness and courage should continue to inspire us all and serve as a model for our daily interactions with each other, our communities, and the world.
Our lives were irrevocably changed that day.
Woodrow Wilson once said, "We are citizens of the world. The tragedy of our times is that we do not know this."
Let's not let that be the legacy for our times. Our profoundly multicultural community at Old Dominion University offers each of us the opportunity to learn, to understand, to grow. The knowledge we gain here enables us to pursue peace and justice not only as citizens in our countries, but also around the world.
May we use our education to become our best selves and to understand that, indeed, we all are citizens of the world.
Sincerely yours,
John R. Broderick
Acting President

When a new product is announced more often than not the first comment I read is someone asking for features which this new product does not have.
To illustrate; if your grandmother made you delicious, homemade chocolate chip cookies and you — looking grandma directly in the face — ask "What, no ice cream?"
Shawn Blanc, on making a decision on how to get fit:
Something I've learned over time is that when you're facing a decision and you know you need to act, it's often best to just do something — anything — and then figure it out as you go.
I can recommend, from vast experience in dieting, to just pick a diet and stick with it. All diets work if you stick to them. Once you get rolling you can try different things if you'd like, but to start the best thing to do is to just begin.
I picked on the iPad earlier because its problem is deeper and more visible than on the iPhone today: while the iPad has most of the pricing and competitive pressure of the iPhone, the iPhone's immense installed base can hide the problems for longer. The iPad has a much smaller installed base, so iPad development is even harder to justify.
Like Marco, I too have noticed apps for the iPad are not being as well cared for as their iPhone counterparts.
On Sunday I was able to get out early for my first morning paddle ever. Paddling in the morning is completely different than the afternoon or evening. I wasn't prepared for the subtle differences, namely;
For reference: App Constellations.
First, William Shatner has a Tumblog. I'm cool with this.
Second, he wrote about Facebook Mentions — yet another app from Facebook specifically created to help "celebrities" with managing their Facebook accounts.
He writes:
I'm not quite sure why Facebook released this app for "celebrities". It seems to be ill conceived. I will probably use it to post to my Facebook when I'm on my phone but it doesn't allow for mail or groups. I will continue to use my regular Facebook App as well as the Pages app.
Since only select people get access to this app I'm glad he took the time to jot down his thoughts and I think his review is very good. In fact, I would have disliked the same things he did.
Man, Facebook is managing a lot of apps.
It turns out, it was bigger than that.
I've seen a few tweets and heard a few comments this weekend along the lines of "Rap Genius raised $40M? I quit."
Simon Willis, someone who has been a huge inspiration to my kayaking endeavors with his Sea Kayak Podcasts series, recently went for a hike. I love this bit:
Show me an horizon, an overlapping series of ridge lines or a valley stretching into the distance and I yearn to discover what lies behind those hills, just out of sight.
Our friends at Appek, a company just a few miles south from Plain in Scranton, recently hit 1,000,000 installs for their selfie-drawing app FrenchGirls.
The concept is pretty simple; take a selfie, submit it, the community sketches something in return. What you get in return isn't always a sketch of your selfie. Sometimes it is a message, sometimes it is a work of art. Either way, its pretty fun.
Pinboard, the excellent bookmarking service, recently turned five. Here is Maciej Cegłowski on the Pinboard blog:
Now back to some beard-stroking:
I see my role much like a small-town praire banker in the 1880's. My job is to project an aura of calm, solvency, and permanence in an industry where none of those adjectives applies. People are justifiably risk-averse when it comes to their bookmarks, and they are looking for stability.
What a great service Pinboard has been these last five years. I'm a paying customer and I recommend that you consider being one too.
Many have asked how I use Pinboard and Unmark. I see Pinboard as a place for me to store bookmarks not use bookmarks. Bookmarks that I've put into Pinboard are easier to find later on than they are to find in Unmark. I don't know if that's right or wrong or whatever but that's how I use it. (More on how I use Unmark here)
In April Stripe announced an Open-Source Retreat. A little over a month later they had chosen three grantees.
Though unannounced on the company blog, Andrey Petrov wrote about his experience working on Urllib3 at Stripe for two weeks over on Medium:
Last week completes my two week grant from Stripe to work on urllib3 full time, and I'd like to declare that these weeks were a huge success.
I recommend you read his entire post. What a great thing Stripe did. I hope we see more of it and I hope, in some small way, our company can take part in the future.
Matt Krizan paddled the California coast in a 36-day expedition. Dave Shivley wrote about what Krizan learned for Canoe & Kayak. Here is what happened on day two:
Four miles offshore, the zip-tie linking his left steering pedal to the rudder snaps. Krizan must act. He spots a channel through 8-foot faces breaking on what looks like beach, so he cautiously follows a wave in. Then he's upside down. He rolls, but can't reach shore before the next wave picks up his 18.5-foot Current Designs Nomad—60 pounds of reinforced fiberglass loaded with 140 pounds of gear, plus another 200 pounds draped over Krizan's lean 6-foot-7 frame—and pitch-poles the full weight into the froth. Half an hour later, as the sun goes down, Krizan finally wrestles the flooded kayak to shore. He's soaked and shivering, his hull is cracked, cockpit day-gear long gone, plus the deck compass and the maps on which he'd planned out his entire 840-mile transit of the California coast, the labor of eight months spent planning, cutting and laminating each chart with listed mileage and landings. Gone.
I'm still in my first season of kayaking but I plan to one day take on multiple day expeditions on lakes, rivers, and the ocean. I love these stories.
I don't know what the future of blogging is. I go back and forth between feeling that the glory days are long over to feeling that the best is yet to come.
Some think that today's social web, while it has stifled blogging tremendously, will still end up providing some value to independent blogs in the future.
Jim Dalrymple, on The Loop:
Apple introduced a new Photos app during its Worldwide Developers Conference that will become the new platform for the company. As part of the transition, Apple told me today that they will no longer be developing its professional photography application, Aperture.
I have a hard time caring anymore. Photo storage, categorization, etc. are pretty much broken for today's consumer. Yes, I can go out and buy a massive amount of storage and use something like Aperture/Lightroom to keep everything straight — but it is still tedious and expensive. My expectations are at an all-time low.
Out of the box Macintoshes do not come with near enough storage to back up even a slightly trigger happy cat owner's iPhone photos. Regardless of the software.
Apple discontinuing a mediocre, neglected, poorly competing pro app to focus on a much better consumer app is a clear win for everyone.
I agree. Aperture was great but was quickly falling behind Lightroom. But a pro app isn't something all of us need. We simply need to A) be able to store all of our photos and B) be able to find them again. Maybe new software will help with B but something has to change to help with A.
I hope Photos for iOS and Photos for OS X helps do exactly that. But I'm not holding my breathe. I think we'll be in the age of deletion (wherein people have to delete much of what they photograph or record) for at least another five years.
Richard Banfield, on Medium, in a piece titled The Myth of the Design Studio Turned Product Company relates how he feels it got started by 37Signals:
I'll just state, flat out, that not everyone is cut out for product work. Nor is everyone cut out for agency work. But, as my friend Jonathan Christopher points out in his reply — the two shouldn't be posited against each other as one being better than the other. And, that you should really ask what your motivation for switching to product work really is.
Speaking of Wolfram Alpha (I mentioned them yesterday). Wolfram Alpha was used to try to predict the outcome of the World Cup.
Again, Brazil is the favorite, but with a 32% chance to win now. After its impressive victory against Spain, the Netherlands' odds jumped to 23.5%: it is now the second favorite. Germany (21.6%) and Argentina (8.6%) are following. There is thus, according to our model, an 86% chance that one of these four teams will be champion.
It has Brazil vs. Netherlands in the final with Brazil coming out on top. Looks like I have to disagree with Alpha on this. Go Netherlands!
I do not think it is fair to compare Apple's WWDC keynote with Google's I/O keynote. It should be fair. But the two simply do not compare.
It should be fair because WWDC and I/O are both developer conferences. WWDC and I/O both begin by largely attended, well rehearsed, staged keynotes by top executives at each company. It should be fair because Apple and Google both have incredibly talented employees, great products, deep pockets and the incentive to do great presentations for both developers and the tech media.
This piece on The Wire is over a year old but this morning Unmark reminded me that I had read it last year around this time. I think it still rings very true today.
In general it speaks to how the perks of the modern-day tech company are really a waving-of-the-hands to entice people to work there — when in reality the perks don't really add up to perks at all.
The team behind my favorite, yet now defunct, service for collaborating on the written word — Editorially — is joining Vox Media to work on Product.
From the outside this seems like an excellent fit for both teams. But, also important, it will work out for those of us that loved Editorially in two key ways. One:
In addition to bringing the three of us into the fold, Vox Media is also acquiring the technology behind Editorially. We know many people have asked what we have planned for the Editorially codebase; happily, we can now report that we and the Vox Media team agree that the best thing for everyone is to share as much as we can. Together, we're going to identify the most sensible way to release parts of the code via an open source license, so that others can learn from and build on our work.
And, happily, two:
Absolutely no user data — no names, email addresses, documents, or any other user data — will be transferred to Vox Media.
This is an important distinction. This rarely happens. However, since Vox Media is not a company that is looking to "buy users", the Editorially team ends up being able to close this chapter of the story in a great way for customers.
Dave Morin, CEO of Path, recently did a small AMA on Product Hunt. He pointed out this article on Wired about Path breaking apart its mobile apps into other applications. Something I wrote about recently as well. Here is some interesting bits from the article.
It is hard to argue with this thinking. Just about every week "the masses" switch from one app to the next. Not just in social networking but also camera apps, messaging, etc. So if Path is repeatedly a source of new apps, rather than simply a single app, then perhaps they can be a choice.

A Southeast Kansas estate sale is bringing in lamp enthusiasts from across the country. The family of Robert and Barbara Joe Evans is auctioning off their lifelong collection of Aladdin lamps this weekend.
That collection adds up to 1,300 lamps.
Auctioneer J.B. Robison says there are two lamps worth up to $4,000. He says a lot of people are traveling from out of town to get their hands on some unique and rare lamps.
"What amazed me is how many people had been in this building in Chetopa and said 'well Robert had a such and such lamp' or 'he had such and such burner or a finial' that was like - it was like these people knew more about what was in here than the family did really," says Robison.
Saturday's auction begins at 10 a.m. at 1004 West Maple Street in Chetopa, Kansas.

Araujo Estate Wines, a Calistoga winery, has been acquired by the Artémis Group, a French company that owns Château Latour and several other wineries.
Financial terms were not disclosed. All members of the winery's staff will be retained, according to a statement issued Thursday announcing the deal.
Founded in 1990 by Bart and Daphne Araujo, the 162-acre estate winery focuses on cabernet sauvignon produced from its 38-acre Eisele Vineyard.
Held by the Pinault family, the Artemis Group owns Château Latour in Bordeaux, Domaine d'Eugénie in Burgundy and Château Grillet in the Rhone Valley.
"The rich heritage of Château Latour and its other wine properties, combined with the family's passion for the wine business, absolute commitment to excellence, and extraordinary track record of success, assures that the stewardship of Araujo Estate and the Eisele Vineyard will continue with the best of care and intentions," Bart and Daphne Araujo said in a statement.
The couple will live at Araujo Estate until January to assist in the transition.

MCLEAN COUNTY, Ill. -- McLean County Sheriff Mike Emery will not seek another 4-year term as the county's top cop.
Tuesday morning, Emery announced he will not be running for re-election next year and will end his time as sheriff when his current term expires in December of 2014.
"I will not be a candidate for sheriff in 2014," Emery said. "I will tell you that I've had an exceptional 33 year career in the McLean County Sheriff's office, with 8 of those years serving as sheriff."
The 55 year old has been with the McLean County Sheriff's Office since 1981 and says he does plan to stay active with the department after he is no longer sheriff.
Former department lieutenant Jeff Elston announced plans last week to run for Sheriff. McLean County Lieutenant Jon Sandage is expected to announce his candidacy during a press conference on Wednesday.

Tucson Police are asking for the public's help to find an attempted robbery suspect.
The incident happened March 11, as a man entered the Wells Fargo Bank at 802 W. Ajo Way and attempted to rob the bank.
According to TPD the suspect walked up to the teller window and handed the teller a note, which implied the man would hurt the teller if she refused to give him the money. The teller took the note and instead of complying with the suspect's request, according to police, she announced that a robbery was in progress and then ducked down behind the counter and bullet proof glass.
The suspect quickly left the bank after the teller did this, according to police, without any money. No one was injured during the course of the attempted robbery.
Witnesses at the scene say the suspect got into a new model (2006-2010) silver colored passenger car, which then sped away from the bank.
Tucson Police are describing the suspect as a Caucasian or Hispanic male, from mid-20s to mid-30s, approximately 5'7" to 5'8" tall weighing about 185 pounds, with dark hair. He was last seen wearing a dark long sleeved t-shirt, tan pants and dark sunglasses.
Anyone with information about the suspect's identity or whereabouts is urged to call 911 or 88-CRIME.

A new program to help build new apartment units in Minot's valley could mean more choices for people wanting to rent.
The city has set aside about five million dollars for the project to offer a five-year loan that turns into a grant as long as landlords keep prices low.
City Finance Director Cindy Hemphill says the program targets property owners who have found it impossible to rebuild because of the high costs.
(Cindy Hemphill, Minot Finance Director) "It's basically a forgivable loan because if you stay with the program for five years, we'll reconstruct or rebuild for you at no cost. If you elect to get out of the program then you'll have to pay the money back before that time period. I believe we have $75,000 for a single family type unit, and if it's a duplex it's $75,000 for the first unit and then $50,000 for the next unit up to four units."
The rental rehabilitation and reconstruction program is taking applications now through the end of March.
After that, Hemphill says the hope is to get all the loans awarded by the end of the year.
Applications are available at the disaster recovery office in Arrowhead Shopping Center, or online at minotnd.org.

"Don't worry about the Batman [film] franchise," he/she said, "it's [Warner Bros.'] most valuable [DC Comics-based] asset." He She continued, "I believe that they are now looking at introducing [the rebooted] Batman in a solo film, though that will likely take place later than they initially planned. They are extreemly worried how [the Batman film franchise] would be affected if JUSTCE LEAGUE bombs...and rightfully so."
"The fact that what should be the core fanbase of a Justice League film isn't on board is making them sweat as well," he/she adds.
If you recall, BOF reported that after being introduced in JUSTICE LEAGUE in 2015, the new Batman would then show up in his own solo film in 2017ish. Now, according to this [source], the time between solo Batman films is going to be longer than five years. "If Superman [this Summer's MAN OF STEEL] is huge, then they've bought themselves some time and will have a franchise to hang their hat on for seven, eight years. The need for Batman won't be as great, and [the reboot] of that franchise can wait until the Superman trilogy is done."
So I asked him/her the obvious question: If there is no JL film in 2015 and MAN OF STEEL is a big hit, when might we next see Batman on film?
"Under that scenario, I'd say around 2019 or so."

Cotrona, Byung-hun Lee, Ray Park, Adrianne Palicki, Jonathan Pryce, RZA, Ray Stevenson, Channing Tatum with Bruce Willis and Dwayne Johnson. Directed by Jon M. Chu, and produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Brian Goldner, from a screenplay by Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick based on Hasbro's G.I. Joe(R) characters.
An ambitious intern. A perfectionist executive. And a whole lot of name calling. Whip-smart, hardworking, and on her way to an MBA, Chloe Mills has only one problem: her boss, Bennett Ryan. He's exacting, blunt, inconsiderate—and completely irresistible. A Beautiful Bastard.
Bennett has returned to Chicago from France to take a vital role in his family's massive media business. He never expected that the assistant who'd been helping him from abroad was the gorgeous, innocently provocative—completely infuriating—creature he now has to see every day. Despite the rumors, he's never been one for a workplace hookup. But Chloe's so tempting he's willing to bend the rules—or outright smash them—if it means he can have her. All over the office.
As their appetites for one another increase to a breaking point, Bennett and Chloe must decide exactly what they're willing to lose in order to win each other.

Proposed major changes to Constitution Park in Waynesboro were up for scrutiny Wednesday evening. The plans were on display at City Hall showing proposed renovations for the park.
The riverfront park stands at the eastern gateway to downtown Waynesboro. Architects have offered a vision that aims to draw more locals and outside visitors.
"We're trying to put the park back in the park. And put parking based activities back in the parking lot, because they need paved spaces and we want a more park-like setting in the park," said Dwayne Jones, Waynesboro parks director.
Phase one of the two-step project will make the river easier to see from inside the park. It also proposes demolishing the pavilion, home of the farmers market.
"Farmers do not like having to set up a tent each week that blows down and does not give them proper shade," said Ellen Winter of the farms market.
Waynesboro's Department of Parks and Recreation hope to have plans finalized by March 2013.

Parking and check in at the Baltimore port was very easy and without any problems. Parking is $15 per day and I would recommend paying in cash just for credit card security reasons. The cruise check in was very easy as the on line registration worked like a charm. After check in at 11:30 we were directed to the Windjammer Cafe for a buffet lunch.
The cafe was overly crowded which we discovered was an omen for the rest of the cruise. Be prepared for a rather rude crowd with those that have had any manners leaving them at home.
Our luggage was quickly delivered to the elevator area on our deck and our room was ready by 1:00. Our cabin attendant quickly introduced himself to us and he was fabulous for the entire cruise. Our room was bit dated but spotless and had enough storage space that made the cabin more than comfortable. The TV had a few cable stations to include some news channels which was fine.
Meals in the Dining Room were fine with a noticeable decline in the gourmet presentation and selections that we experienced on a Bermuda RC cruise just last year. We were seated at a table for ten which was nice as we were all from the same area in Virginia. Just out of curiosity we checked on the Dining My Time option which was completely filled up. If you are looking for a small table you should consider choosing the My Time option when booking the cruise.The service staff in the dining room were fantastic as were the desserts. The main courses and starters not so much. The food in the Windjammer Cafe was limited and kind of reminded us of the Old Country Buffet chain just a little more crowded.
Entertainment in the theater required a 45 minute to 1 hour arrival time as it quickly filled up with many guests saving seats for others which is prohibited but not enforced. The cruise musicians were very good and the singers and dancers were enthusiastic but lacked direction and production supervision. The audio was very loud as well. The visiting entertainment was better with a variety of acts some better than others depending on your taste.
The lounge and Atrium entertainment was good but did get a little old after 9 nights as they often played the same music. Drink prices varied as the "Drink of the Day" was reasonable and be sure to ask for the "House" wine as the other vintages were very expensive and were nothing of note.
We used the "Express Departure" option when we docked back in Baltimore. This feature was great as we carried our luggage and were the first to depart driving away by 9:00. All in all a so so cruise with some pluses and minuses. As a reminder do your own research for age demographics as well as the ports of call.

Architecture is the masterly, correct and magnificent play of masses brought together in light. Our eyes are made to see forms in light; light and shade reveal these forms; cubes, cones, spheres, cylinders or pyramids are the great primary forms which light reveals to advantage; the image of these is distinct and tangible within us and without ambiguity. It is for a reason that these are beautiful forms, the most beautiful forms. Everybody is agreed to that, the child, the savage and the metaphysician. It is the very nature of the plastic arts. [3]Le Corbusier's excellent triangulation of humankind notwithstanding, not everybody is agreed this is the very nature of the plastic arts. I don't think these core forms are appreciated in the same way in a building as in a sculpture, in part because of the aforementioned evil grain elevator (it is, by the way, the same elevator as in the first photograph). To understand how this grain elevator is evil, it helps to again consider an over-arching question central to these essays: are buildings like sculptures in making landscape? But now I want to consider an artist's point of view, partly to address the problem noted in concluding the last essay: that Loos's compelling argument, as set out in Architecture, could not clearly account for ongoing evolutions within a landscape.
Here the sculptural response draws all of its cues from its surroundings. ... What is the site's relation to applied and implied schemes of organization and systems of order, relation, architecture, uses, distances, senses of scale? ... What are the qualities of surface, sound, movement, light, etc.? ... What are the histories of prior and current uses, present desires, etc.? A quiet distillation of all of this — while directly experiencing the site — determines all the facets of the 'sculptural response': aesthetic sensibility, levels and kinds of physicality, gesture, dimensions, materials, kinds and level of finish and details, etc., whether the response should be monumental or ephemeral, aggressive or gentle, useful or useless, sculptural, architectural, or simply the planting of a tree, or maybe even doing nothing at all. [9]Imagining examples in this fourth category is difficult. The overriding parameter is the absence of a perceptible intent to frame meaning beyond the realities of the site. It's like repositioning furniture without rearranging it, or perfect plastic surgery. A useful example of what Irwin means can be seen in this roadside car park in Wyoming. Its upwardly bent corner has the same experiential consequence upon approach as the downwardly bent corners of a Giacometti sculpture base: allowing your eye — and inviting your mind — in. But you do not believe the gesture to have been made intentionally. You instead suspect someone backed up his truck too far. Still, it could have been designed this way. There is simply no way to know. So your experience of the physical fact (like that of the unintended geometry of the Igualada Cemetery) is essentially private. There is no legible mandate that connects the gesture to any pattern of space making, or internal history of cultural production. Irwin again: "... the process of recognition and understanding breaks with the convention of abstract referencing of content, historical lineage, oeuvre of the artist, style, etc." In theory, your entire experience is limited to valuing this one place.

By Robby from USA on 2011-01-04 11:06:39Things I liked:I Love these 4500 psi CF > (carbon fiber) tanks, I also have the CF Piglet Tank.. The Marauder has a 215 cc tube, with this 88 Cu ft (cubic foot) 4,500 psi tank if you fill to 3,000 psi's and only shoot down to 2,000 psi's then fill, like I do you will get about 57 full 3,000 psi fills.. And of course your fills after that will not get up to 3,000 psi's but you still get a lot more shooting, even when the gun is not filled to 3,000 psi's.. ONLY around 57 fills, is it worth the money you say? Well to pump my Marauder from around 2,000 psi's to 3,000 psi's with the 1 of the 2 pumps I have was a lot of sweat on hot days an took around 135 to 150 pumps depended on which pump I used.. Now consider, pumping in the heat sweating to fill the gun them same 57 times with a pump say on the low side at 135 pumps to fill? That's 7,695 pumps I saved with them 57 fills from the tank, and ALOT of sweat, so to me the answer is YEP it's worth it... ANYWAYYYYY With the 490 cc AirForce Condor you get about 25 full 3,000 psi fills and also save a lot of time from pumpimg.. With the 17 cu ft CF > (cubic foot carbon fiber) piglet you get 4 fills for the condor and 11 Marauder fills but it fits a little back pack and is light to carry all day...BUY the 88 cu ft CF tank its worth every dime NO MORE PUMPING!!! lol
Things I would have changed:Cheaper if possible? Offer a bigger size, maybe the 105 cu ft?
What others should know:Expensive BUT worth every dime, just think no more breaking your back OR wiping all that sweat away on them 90 degree days PUMPING!!! lol

By James from USA on 2014-03-17 07:52:22Things I liked:Incredibly useful for filling smaller tanks like the 13ci tank that my Drozd Blackbird uses. I get a lot of fills from this tank.
Things I would have changed:The valve: It uses a Scott fitting and my local dive show can't fill it. Luckily, the fire dept. can fill it with a [K?] fitting, but I'm currently waiting on a male/male quick disconnect so that I can stop bothering the VFD for air. They should have shipped it with a standard valve with a scuba/scba fitting. Scott pack makes this a pain to fill.

One Year Ago
• It may have been the best match of the entire 2012 OHSAA State Wrestling Championships, the 75th anniversary of the annual event. Jefferson senior grappler Curtis Miller went the distance – and more – to grab the Division III 220-pound state championship Saturday night at the Jerome Schottenstein Center on the campus of The Ohio State University.
25 Years Ago — 1988
• Two Jefferson High School students received second-place honorable mention for their artwork at the second annual Pepsi High School Invitation held Feb. to 26 at Alma Gallery, Memorial Hall, Lima. Mike Wurst, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Wurst, received a red ribbon for his sculpture. Jennifer Hundley, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Hundley, received a red ribbon for her print.
• World attention will focus on Seoul, South Korea, late this summer for the Olympic Games. But earlier in the summer 12 young Ohioans, including Fort Jennings High School senior Tim Utrup, will focus their attention on Seoul, Hong Kong and China when they visit the East to play national basketball teams. Utrup was invited to join the team by virtue of finishing among the top 30 players at the All-America Top 30 Basketball Camp held last July in Cleveland.
• Faculty and staff at St. John's Elementary School were served a continental breakfast Thursday in appreciation for their work at the school. School personnel attending the breakfast were Sister Joan Frances, principal, Sandy Suever, kindergarten teacher, and Marilyn Holdgreve, secretary. The breakfast was one of many activities planned for Catholic Schools' Week.
50 Years Ago — 1963
• Three members of Council Committee named to head preparations for the Centennial Celebration by Mayor Robert Barkimer reported to the council the dates selected are June 28 through July 5, 19644. This will be in observance of the 100th anniversary of the incorporation of Columbus Grove on March 10, 1861.
• Margaret Koester, national security chairman, conducted the program at the regular meeting of the auxiliary of the American Legion in the Legion home Monday night. Martha Maas was welcomed into the organization as a new member. Ellen Rekart and Bertha Schmelzer presented a report on the mid-winter conference in Columbus. Hostesses for Monday's meeting were Catherine Bair and Irene Granger.
• V. Richard Schlagbaum has become manager of the office supply and office furniture department of The Delphos Herald. The office supply and furniture department at The Herald is 50 years old. Schlagbaum is a 1956 graduate of Delphos St. John's High School, and following his graduation he attended the University of Dayton College of Liberal Arts.
75 Years Ago — 1938
• Checkers players in this district and those who enjoy watching the game played were given a rare treat on Thursday night when Newell W. Banks of Detroit, recognized as the world's greatest match-play checker player, gave an exhibition at Vogt and Eickholt's on East Second Street. There was a large attendance from Delphos, St. Marys, Lima, Rushmore and other surrounding towns.
• The Delphos Model Airplane Club met Thursday night at the Jefferson School. The members of the organization are watching with interest the progress being made by Bill Berry in the construction of a gasoline engine powered plane. The Berry plane is a monoplane with a wing-spread of 5 feet and 8 inches and weighs one and one-fourth pounds without the motor.
• The nationwide campaign in observance of the National Used Car Exchange Week was given added impetus in this vicinity Thursday evening at a family night party held at Jennings Memorial Hall, Fort Jennings. The affair was for all employees of Raabe Ford Dealer concerns located in Delphos, Van Wert, Ottawa and Fort Jennings as well as for their families.

By Wendell Berry
There has been no shortage of accolades used to describe author Wendell Berry - "American Hero," "modern day Thoreau" and "man of letters" are just a few. The farmer, essayist and author of several books, including "The Unsettling of America: Culture & Agriculture," is considered one of the intellectual driving forces behind the sustainable agriculture and localism movements. I've read much of his work - his essay "Why I am Not Going to Buy a Computer" is quite good - but I was recently moved by a collection of poems published in 2011 titled, "Leavings." Criticisms on argi-business and technology are Berry's bread and butter, and there are elements of that here, though "Leavings" is also a thoughtful reflection on time, love, marriage, friendship and solitude. It just might be the intellectual equivalent of a raw egg and Worcestershire sauce for people coming down from the hangover of a hectic and commercialized holiday season.
