Superautomatic Espresso Machines and Coffee Makers
Too bleary-eyed to grind, tamp and steam your own espresso shot in the morning? Let a superautomatic espresso machine do it for you, saving you time, effort and clean up! At the push of a button, these espresso machines create consistent coffee and espresso drinks like lattes and cappuccinos.
While the taste of the coffee from these superautomatic espresso machines is similar, the biggest difference is in functionality and programming options. Some are capable of automatic milk frothing and others use a standard steam wand. Some have one-touch profiles for pre-set espresso drinks and others require you to manually enter in your drink selection. Try one, and you too will say, 'Domo Arigato Mister Roboto!'

The "Four Little Girls" will receive recognition today for their role in the Civil Rights movement.
At 2 p.m., Congresswoman Terri Sewell (D-AL) and other officials will posthumously bestow the Congressional Gold Medal to Addie Mae Collins, Denise McNair, Carole Robertson and Cynthia Wesley. The four were killed in the 1963 bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church.
Alabamas13.com will be live streaming the ceremony here at 2 p.m.
Congresswoman Sewell, Congressman Spencer Bachus (AL-06) Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL) were involved in passing the bill to honor the girls, which was signed on May 24.
"This tragedy galvanized the Civil Rights Movement and sparked a surge of momentum that helped secure the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. It is befitting that Congress bestow the highest civilian honor to the 'Four Little Girls' the week of the 50th anniversary of the 1963 church bombing," Congresswoman Sewell said. "I am especially honored that the family members of all four girls will be in attendance at the ceremony. Although we will never be able to replace the lives lost or the injuries suffered, this medal will serve as a compelling reminder that the price of freedom is not free. The legacy of the 'Four Little Girls' is emblematic of the sacrifices made by so many people during the 1960's to help us achieve equality and social change. The "Four Little Girls" deserve to have their proper place in history as true heroines in the Civil Rights Movement."

Marcus Smart continued his impressive all-around play by averaging 19 points in two Cowboy wins, while totaling 10 rebounds, seven assists, three steals and two blocked shots. The freshman shot 55 percent from the floor, including 4-of-6 (.667) from beyond the arc, while making 12-of-15 (.800) from the line.
His top performance came against in-state rival Oklahoma, as he led the Cowboys to a second-half comeback and finished with a career-high 28 points. One of his steals versus the Sooners came on a block of a 3-point attempt with less than 20 seconds remaining that resulted in a held ball and possession to OSU.

Five Baseball Hall of Famers will help select the design of the coin that will commemorate the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.
The Hall of Fame and the United States Mint recently announced the names of the judges — all Hall of Famers who represent more than half of the nine positions on the diamond. The judges will be Joe Morgan (second baseman, elected 1990), Brooks Robinson (third baseman, elected 1983), Ozzie Smith (shortstop, elected 2002), Don Sutton (pitcher, elected 1998) and Dave Winfield (outfielder, elected 2001).
The design competition, which began April 11 and runs through May 11, is open to U.S. citizens and permanent residents ages 14 and older. The winner of the design competition will be awarded $5,000 and the winner's initials will appear on the minted coins.
"This is a Hall of Fame lineup that's sure to produce a winner," Jeff Idelson, Hall of Fame president, said in a media release. "Our Hall of Fame members show year-round support for our efforts to fulfill our mission to preserve history, honor excellence and connect generations, and this is yet another example of the legends of the game stepping to the plate for the museum. We are so appreciative of the efforts of Joe, Brooks, Ozzie, Don and Dave and we all look forward to the final design selection."
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand and Representative Richard Hanna sponsored the National Baseball Hall of Fame Commemorative Coin Act, which was signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2012.
The act calls for a three-coin program of $5 gold, $1 silver and half-dollar clad coins, and requires a competition to select a common obverse design emblematic of the game of baseball.
"The Hall of Fame Commemorative Coin creates a lasting legacy for baseball and our national pastime," Winfield said in the release. "It is an honor for me to be a judge in this competition, to review submissions and help select the winning design that will appear on these coins. This program will ensure that the Hall of Fame can reach new audiences through its award-winning educational programs from Cooperstown for audiences around the world."

Veterans and active military members came together today for the first annual Friends of Veterans Barbeque at Trinity Homes to celebrate Independence Day a few days early.
Friends of Veterans is a local program designed to bridge the gap between the military today and the military of yesterday.
The group typically hosts events around key military holidays to help those veterans who don't have family nearby.
"The veterans love this. You can see it in their faces. You see smiles that you usually don't see when you come into this home," said Andrew Magathan, President of Friends of Veterans.
"This is not a country club," said Vietnam War Veteran Mickey O'Brien. "They are here for a reason and they don't have anybody except these four times a year when somebody comes in and does something special like this."
There are 36 veterans living at Trinity Homes.
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

The unveiling last week of a nearly nearly ninety-year-old British film on which Alfred Hitchcock served as assistant director, art director, and co-scenarist was another exciting event in the recent parade of major archival discoveries. On Thursday night, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences held the premiere screening of The White Shadow (1924)—or at least, the first half of the feature, which is all that survives. This is just the latest archeological "find" to emerge from a partnership of the New Zealand Film Archive, the American archival community, and the National Film Preservation Foundation that, most notably, unearthed—
—John Ford's long-unseen 1927 feature Upstream last year.
The White Shadow, adapted by Hitchcock from a screenplay by Michael Morton, is a plot-heavy, often preposterous drama about twin sisters who lead different kinds of lives, because one has a soul ("a white shadow," indicating purity) and the other is a hedonist. The favorite daughter turns her back on her stern father, who loses his mind as a result but somehow finds his way to Paris, where she has adopted a new identity at a Bohemian nightclub called The Cat Who Laughs. (Later, in what is described as "a vagrant flash of understanding," he regains his senses—only to be struck by his daughter's car back home in England. That incident, mercifully, occurs in the missing second half of the picture.) Meanwhile, a proper gentleman (Clive Brook) falls in love with the "bad" sister, so the "good" sister takes her place in his arms rather than see her sibling disgraced.
The film stars Betty Compson, a popular American actress who was lured to England by a lucrative salary of 1,000 pounds a week by producer Michael Balcon to star in Woman to Woman in 1923. It was a smash hit, unlike this follow-up, made by the same creative team.
A "new" Hitchcock film is tantalizing, of course. But, if you'll forgive an expression I simply can't avoid, it comes with a hitch: determining how much the future director influenced what we see. Graham Cutts is the credited director, but most histories agree that his young, ambitious assistant and jack-of-all-trades had a lot to do with what wound up onscreen. Hitchcock later said that he did the lion's share of work as the official director was perpetually distracted. In Alma Hitchcock: The Woman Behind the Man, Patricia Hitchcock and Laurent Bouzereau write of her experience as the editor of Woman to Woman, "...She was apparently not particularly fond of director Graham Cutts. She did not think he was pleasant or professional; he knew very little and Alma felt she and Hitch were doing all the work." (If one is looking for an objective view, it's easy to trace Hitchcock's rise and Cutts' fall over the next decade by examining their filmographies.) In the same vein, cinematographer Claude McDonnell did nothing particularly distinguished in his brief career, which ended in 1930; Hitchcock chose to work with him only one more time, on Easy Virtue in 1928.
But just as it's impossible to assess who did what, even on a contemporary film—where actors sometimes improvise lines, uncredited writers contribute to the screenplay, and a gifted production designer and cinematographer may compensate for a director's shortcomings—it's dangerous to be too certain about how a film from 1924 was crafted.
David Sterritt, current chairman of the National Society of Film Critics and author of The Films of Alfred Hitchcock, has done his homework, and comes to the conclusion in his Academy program notes that "even static images from The White Shadow convey a sense of Alfred Hitchcock's early gift for creating drama by purely visual means. Betty Compson's impish smile and half-open eyes framed by a jauntily angled hat and a wreath of artfully positioned smoke; the motley crew of men she effortlessly controls at the poker table; Clive Brook's steely gaze set off by a slash of light across an otherwise dark background; the graceful shading of an ivy-draped window framing a wistful face. These and many other images confirm Hitchcock's precocious talent for silent storytelling."
There is no question that Sterritt's overall assessment is correct, but I would be hesitant to credit anyone for a star's impish smile or the jaunty angle of her hat unless I'd been on the set myself to see how the scene came to life.
As for content, it's tempting to extrapolate that The White Shadow's story of identity and duality is an early exploration of themes Hitchcock later pursued in Vertigo. Or the comparison might be ridiculous…who can say?
What matters is that another piece of film history has surfaced. I'm sure there are more discoveries yet to come.

By choosing precisely what and how much to show and when, Hitchcock manipulates his audience into the labyrinth of suspense. The label, "content-less virtuosity", ignores the profundity of his films. They reveal his acute observation of the prevailing insecurities in society.

A couple years ago while on an RV trip we got a DVD of old Hitchcock stuff out of a Walmart bargain bin, thinking it was episodes of his anthology TV series (didn't look closely). Turned out mostly it was his old movies. We watched all the talkies and then The Lodger because it was a classic, even though we figured we wouldn't like the silents.
It was surprisingly "modern". That led to our watching all the others, and one, a comedy called "The Farmer Takes a Wife", is now one of our favorite movies.

I found it to be rather entertaining - and the audience seemed to be into it as well. So disappointed that the second half of the film is lost.

Well, Leonard has proven you don't have to know math to be a film critic, although, it couldn't hurt...it also helps on the run times...Hitch rises again..that is spooky...right time of year...how thoughtful of him...
James Knuttel | September 26, 2011 3:02 AM
Uh, Leonard, if this film was released in 1924 then it is WELL OVER eighty years old! (87 years to be more accurate)

A simple kick drum head implement to expand the low-end range of your bass drum.
The KickPort's design enhances the sound of your kick drum by porting the kick drum in the same manner as a bass reflex speaker cabinet, which boosts low frequencies. It adds ideal dampening directly to the resonant head, which allows you to remove most—if not all—of the internal materials, thus reclaiming all of the natural resonance and tone of your drum. The KickPort bass drum enhancement also focuses the air as it exits the kick drum, creating a natural compression that increases punch.
As if that wasn't enough, it's tunable! Due to its broadband design, the KickPort bass drum enhancement improves the sound of bass drums sized 16" to 28." It can be tuned up or down by adjusting the tuning of the resonant head.
All of these benefits add up to more lows, more tone, better definition, and more punch in varying acoustical environments. Make no mistake, it's not just for the audience or the sound engineer—these are benefits the drummer can feel behind the drum set as well.
More low end, tone, punch and better feel. Order today!

Comments about Kickport Sonic Enhancement Insert for Bass Drum:
Lets face it, the only slight drawback in the product is cutting the hole.It's never an easy task... but Kickport includes an outer ring that applies to the head,and giving you a perfect stencil. The new tone coming out of all my drums is throaty and no ring. I use Aquarian Studio X Heads on an Argent Drumset.It sounds better than most high end sets now. Not only would I recommend this, I would buy this for you if I could.

Comments about Kickport Sonic Enhancement Insert for Bass Drum:
Cool bass drum accessory product that adds some well balanced oomph to your kick drum. Install was kind of a hassle even after watching a YouTube video. Wound up taking the front head off and put the thing on right away. Might not be the best technique for everyone, but it worked for me. If you're looking for some decent low-end sound enhancement give it a go.

Not a massive change. Subtle but noticable. Only product of it's kind that I've found that works. I used it for a New Years Eve gig and loved it. Haven't heard it yet on a recording but looking forward to improved lows.

Loosecubes, Friday, February 3, 2012
This is our first company office with co-working spots, versus a pure co-working space. Quite a different dynamic. The co-workers are put in an area to the side, while the company works in the main space. 3 out of the 5 co-working desks are used all of te time, so there's really only 2 guest spots. On Feb 3, we were the guests.
- Monitors available at the co-working spots
- Nicer chairs (though not enough. one of us almost had to work on a stool
- There's a tent for a conference room!
- Bright space
- Bike parking
- Fast internet (Download 41.91, upload 54.25 pr speakeasy.net, what!)
- Nice views, we're on a high floor so you can see over the buildings
- Not as close to the bridge (a huge concern in DUMBO because the subway is loud)
- It's only $5 a day. Dude!
- Decent bars nearby
- Because it's a company, they aren't as welcoming and inclusive in the co-working experience. They set us up pleasantly enough, but it's not the same energy of "omg, yes, be part of our community please!" like other places. It's also not the point to the space either. Although, since they're focused on co-working for their business, we were surprised at the insularity.
- Sitting with a company can be loud. They have a lot of meetings.
- Not terribly quiet, any confidential conversations can be heard by everyone
- Not too many cheap lunch options
- The tent. It's cool.
- Having a documentary film maker come in and ask us if we wanted to talk about butts. yes, like the one you are sitting on. Apparently they're doing some documentary about anal sex or something. We all had a good laugh about that. Definitely office wide bonding moment.
This is a great space to try for a day but not necessarily to settle into for good. There are 3 folks who work here on an on-going basis, but they pretty much keep to themselves. The split between office and co-workers is clear.
It is however a great space to overhear others talking about the concept of co-working. Very cool on that! We had hoped for more of that though. They really sounded like any other tech startup talking about resumes and wireframes.

The priority for Milan's 2013/2014 player transfers has to be focused on strengthening the midfield, the attacking positions in particular, as we have learned that on so many occasions that we have struggled against tidy oppositions. Against the other top 3 clubs, Juventus, Napoli, Fiorentina, even against the likes of Sampdoria we clearly struggled. More often than not, our play is broken to short-bursts of one-two play and stop at that. We tried it, successfully, so many times against lesser opponents, but it was simply because of the obvious gap in quality.
Option A. (4-2-3-1)
I think for the 2013/2014, Milan would still try to play variants of the 4-3-3, with the most likely set-up being the 4-2-1-2-1
In this set-up the midfield duo to sit front of the defense would likely be of Nigel De Jong/Flamini and Riccardo Montolivo/Poli/Cristante.
De Jong would be tasked to break-up the play, and Montolivo to supply the lateral passes to the wingbacks and to the trequarista (Saponara/Jorginho?)
Left winger position would be occupied by Stephan El Shaarawy, and the Right winger would hopefully be Cerci?.
The single striker would be Mario Balotelli. Early in the season he would be deputized by either Niang/Robinho-if he stays or Petagna, and most likely Pazzini after he recover from surgery.
Option B. (4-3-1-2)
The midfield trio would be between Nigel De Jong/Flamini/Ambrosini, Montolivo/Poli/Cristante, Muntari/Boateng-if he stays. Further up there would be the mystery trequarista (Saponara/Jorginho?)
The main strikers would be Stephan El Shaarawy partnering Mario Balotelli, with Pazzini/Niang/Robinho/Petagna as backup strikers.
On both scenarios, for the central defender position, we need a solid partner to Zapata, I am keen to think about someone with a high level of aggression, but without the dirty fouls, where Mexes is often suspect of. Who might that be? from EU country?
Your thoughts?

Safety fears for Observation Wheel
Members of the public raise new concerns about the safety of the Melbourne Star observation wheel. Nine News.PT1M30S http://www.theage.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-306pp 620 349 January 2, 2014
- Autoplay OnOff
- Video feedback
- Video settings
One of the cabins on the Melbourne Star Observation Wheel has been taken out of commission while Victoria's workplace safety authority investigates complaints.
The inquiry was prompted by several complaints from passengers who have ridden the wheel since it reopened on December 23.
WorkSafe confirmed an investigation was under way after concerns were raised by a passenger.
Melbourne's observation wheel.
The new 120-metre-high Melbourne Star observation wheel replaced the first wheel, which was shut down in January 2009 when a three-day heatwave caused the brace and supports to buckle and crack only a month after it opened.
Operators said an "early warning" alarm was triggered on two occasions since the wheel reopened but did not say what triggered the alarm or whether the incidents were connected.
"All cabins operate on individual systems, and standard operating procedure required that this cabin has been taken out of service whilst a full investigation is undertaken," the wheel's chief executive Chris Kelly told News Corp Australia.

"This has no impact on the safe operation of the remaining 20 cabins at the Melbourne Star."
Docklands Chamber of Commerce president Joh Maxwell encouraged Melburnians to embrace the wheel, which she believed was a new icon for the city.
She described the latest setback for the tourist attraction as a minor teething issue.
"It's no different to you buying a new car. At some stage you may have a glitch or something ... let the people who are the experts at it sort it," she said.

Why St. Joe Shareholders Will Inevitably Be Disappointed
Valuentum • Tue, Jul. 29 • 17 Comments
- The math simply does not add up in St. Joe's valuation thesis.
- The market is assigning significantly higher per-acre value than recent transaction prices to the remaining land on its books.
- We think the only factor holding the stock up is ongoing de-risking by short investors. Shares are worth $17 each.

A - Pours an orange, semi-translucent body. Has a one finger head that apparently has staying power.
S - The nose could almost be considered tart/sour. I'm not complaining. Aside from that, you get a good helping of lite sweet peaches and the pinot noir barrels come through perfectly as well.
T - Sweet at first from the peaches. Then it's like the pinot noir barrels take over. It turns to a white grape flavor and has a tart finish.
M - It's light bodied, but highly carbed. I'll say the carb probably muddled the flavors in the taste for me.
O - Definite potential. Would have been better if not for the carb. But, it could stand up to a lot of bretty saisons.

A - Pours a cloudy dark orange with a huge soappy-foamy white head with great retention and lacing.

T - Dry, earthy funk, some subtle peach and wine barrel.
D - Good carbonation and light body. Lots of funk and earthiness. I liked it.

The best attributes of this beer are the appearance and feel, which isn't to say that the others aren't good. This beer looks great and feels great. That's a good start.
While the flavor barely resembles anything peach, it is somewhat fruity. Maybe white, unripe peach, which isn't bad at all. Some green apple dances around. A bit bready with some yeasty spices of white pepper. Perhaps papaya skin?
The feel is just about spot on. Fizzy, bubbly, lifting. Sharp and semi dry, semi sweet. Great with those sticky cheeses.

A - a little cloudy, really foamy in the head, a light copper color
S - peachy, light, some other fruit here, maybe mango
T - peach, white grape, Belgian yeast, ever so slightly tart
M - really quite effervescent, the tart offers some subtle puckering, pretty light overall
O - this is a really interesting take on a saison w the use of peaches, atleast new to me; it's balanced, subtle, and not at all overly sweet; expected a bit more peach flavor actually

a great great beer, better now than when it was fresh in the spring. it pours from the bottle a very pale yellow color, incredibly cloudy, with a tall white head with decent retention. the nose is really farmed out from the yeast, peppery and tart, bordering on sour. the peaches dont come through in the aroma so much, but there is a nice floral polleny vibe going. the flavor is sweet anf fruity from the peach up front, but its quickly taken over by a really puckey tartness that is mouthwatering and almost bretty sour. its really vibrant and long lasting, and works magically with the peaches. effervescent carbonation makes this feel like an authentic belgian saison, and the body stays light despite the sediment. each sip ends dry and tart, it makes me want to keep hammering this. well worth 12 bucks for a bomber, this is really unique and oddly addicting. whatever yeast was used here is a keeper, everyone i shared this with was more than pleased.

2012 Limited release. Saison Ale aged in Pinot Noir barrels with peaches. Maybe a hint of I ripe peaches but perhaps only because you think it should be there.
Pours clear orange amber with nice white head .
Nose is typical saison with some light bananas, hints of fruit and hints of fresh grass . Pleasant and inviting; not complex.
Mouthfeel is rich and fresh. Medium bodied with very nice balance. Perhaps a bit too carbonated on initial pour. Otherwise nice.
Nice flavor profile. Saison fruit grassy with crisp bright tones. A light green pepper and hints of celery in the finish. Very drinkable and food friendly.
Finish is a nice light green celery/pepper/light salt with a hint of sweet pine bitter.

Receiving a notice that you've had a payment bounce can't possibly be amusing, but one Ohio man certainly held onto his good sense of humor while dealing with such a problem recently. Then again, what else could he possibly do when faced with a $16,409,107 charge for cable service?
Dayton Daily News reports that Lt. Daniel DeVirgilio, a resident of Beavercreek, Ohio, recently received a letter informing him that his credit card payment to Time Warner, his cable provider, had been "rejected for non-sufficient funds."
The man hadn't received an unusual bill so he didn't exactly understand why the rejected charge was for well over $16 million. He called Time Warner and spent about 40 minutes speaking with representatives who were just as confused as he was:
DeVirgilio, 26, calculated that he would have to order an on-demand movie 1.6 million times or a pay-per-view fight 400,000 times to run up a $16.4 million monthly bill. His usual monthly automatic payment is about $80, he said.
After some back and forth, the cable service provider "attributed the $16.4 million figure to human error." Apparently an "employee typed in the wrong number for the amount owed, which caused the company's automated system to generate the letter."
The company is working to resolve the confusion with DeVirgilio who — while concerned about the effect the whole thing could have on his credit history and cable service — is still managing to have a chuckle over the mess:
"All I want to do is watch March Madness," DeVirgilio said. "I didn't really expect to pay $16 million to watch the Sweet 16."

One man is in the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics after a crash on Highway 20 in Dubuque.
It happened Monday afternoon just before 1:15. Authorities say 27-year-old Joseph Manos was trying to turn from Highway 20 onto Swiss Valley Road. Authorities say he hit a motorcycle traveling the opposite direction.
The driver of the motorcycle, identified as 44 year old Jeffrey Ernzen of Epworth, was thrown from the vehicle, and the motorcycle hit another vehicle driven by 24-year-old Amber Fitzpatrick. Both Fitzpatrick and Manos were not injured.
Ernzen was taken to Mercy Hospital, and then flown to the University of Iowa Hospitals in Clinics. His condition is unknown at this time.

PA Hospital continues to operate in black after big losses
MSBusiness.com / Associated Press, September 9, 2013
PHILADELPHIA — Neshoba County General Hospital and Nursing Home generated a profit of $3.5 million profit during fiscal 2012 after a $213,575 profit the previous year, according to audited financial statements.The Neshoba Democrat reports the hospital had a loss of $1.9 million in 2010. Hospital administrator Lonnie Graeber said overall expenses were reduced by about $2 million while revenue remained steady, leading to the 2012 profit. Graeber said that for the first eight months of operations in fiscal 2013, the facility has shown a profit of $3.5 million. "Our inpatient volume has increased about 40 percent this year," he said.

The Montclair Art Museum recently was awarded a grant that will fund one of its most popular programs.
The art museum was awarded a $15,000 grant from the Horizon Foundation for New Jersey, a subsidiary of the health insurance provider Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield.
Michele Shea, manager of institutional giving at the museum, said the funds will be used for the museum's "cornerstone community program:" Free Family Day.
This bi-annual event is a favorite among museum-goers, said Shea. Residents are free to join the daylong celebration that includes gallery tours, art projects for the young and old alike, games and other activities.
"It's our signature community event," said Shea. "Grants like this allow us to continue to offer free programs to the community, which is huge today. [The grant] is a great amount for a education program."
The next Free Family Day is Sunday, Dec. 2. Shea said the event will revolve around the current exhibition at the museum: Georgia O'Keeffe in New Mexico: Architecture, Katsinam, and the Land.

JA - IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems
The hypercube topology, also known as the Boolean n-cube, has recently been used for multiprocessing systems. The paper considers two structural-reliability models, namely, terminal reliability (TR) and network reliability (NR), for the hypercube. Terminal (network) reliability is defined as the probability that there exists a working path connecting two (all) nodes. There are no known polynomial time algorithms for exact computation of TR or NR for the hypercube. Thus, lower-bound computation is a better alternative, because it is more efficient computationally, and the system will be at least as reliable as the bound. The paper presents algorithms to compute lower bounds on TR and NR for the hypercube considering node and/or link failures. These algorithms provide tighter bounds for both TR and NR than known results and run in time polynomial in the cube dimension n, specifically, within time O(n/sup 2/).

I love writing these weekly marriage posts. It forces me to be reflective. To stop -- pause -- and think about the lessons I've been learning lately
And on Saturday, when C said my maxi skirt and side braid looked "frumpy", I just thought he was being mean and I blew it off. Until, I read this post on Story of My Life, about an almost identical issue (or "discussion", if you will) with her man.
Her post was warm & honest. I could tell where her heart was, and I totally related to, and appreciated, the emotions so sincerely conveyed. The post she was inspired by, on the other hand, was honest but in the "truth sucks" kind of way. I'm glad I read Jenni's blog first, but Raven's post really hammered that nail in.
And so the reflection began. I couldn't help but want to explore the topic -- because it was so near to my heart & fresh on my mind. So I put aside my blogger blinders and sense of pride, and began to really think. How much does C's opinion matter? And then I realized I write a weekly marriage post, and not a weekly fashion post, for a reason: one is more important than the other in my life.
And when I think about it, I'm lucky to have a guy who pays attention to me -- and who has always been willing to help me shop. He even claims he has better style than me & knows how to dress me better than I know how to dress myself.
And I have to admit, over the years, he's been proven right.
So, I decided to get my guy's opinions, and preferences. I asked him to make a list of what he likes and dislikes. I'm considering this my "personal style Polaroid reference card" straight from Stacy and Clinton...
[these are quotes, unedited. straight from C.]
|Hate on you:
|Love on you:
I have to admit - parts of his list shocked me. Others just reminded me of what he tells me often. What I realized most, though, was he doesn't list specifics like women tend to do. (Notice: no mention of pelplum.) Instead, he focused more on the vibe, the emotion and attitude, caused by what I'm wearing.
Confident. Low maintenance. Proud of who I am.Got it.

Jones has a scheduled fight (waiting for approval) against 39/1 Dawid Kostecki from Poland. This guy according to boxrec fought only once outside of Europe and only a few times (4 fights) outside of Poland. I have never heard of the guy - naturally.
I think this might be the end of Jones's career if he loses, although his ego will probably tell him otherwise.
Anyways, did anyone even notice this ? I feel so bad for Roy. Once a P4P, now...nobody.


text: Classic black metal. That's what this is. What more can be said? If you like black metal you probably have this album. If you don't have it, I would recommend it. This was my first "true" black metal album. I had some Dimmu Borgir before this and I'd probably consider them black metal. Instrumentally, they're possibly a little too complex for the genre, but the overall atmosphere and the lyrical content is pretty in line. I also had some Venom, but this is the first album I got that was really black metal in it's mature form. Anywho, this album is cold as hell. You can tell that it was recorded more cleanly than later albums, but they still manage to capture that heartless, misanthropic spirit. And that is the essence of black metal for me. Get this album if you like this kind of music.

CHICAGO (WKOW) -- A massive monetary donation is headed to the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago. Billionaire real estate mogul Sam Zell and his wife, Helen, have donated $10 million to the museum.
The gift was announced yesterday, and it comes from the Zell Family Foundation. The money will be used to create The Zell Fund for Artistic Excellence. Helen Zell has been a supporter of the museum for three decades and was chair of its board of trustees from 2004 to 2008.
Helen Zell said in a statement that she has never seen the museum "more confident and clear in its direction." She says she wants to make sure the museum is on solid financial ground.
Museum board of trustees chairman King Harris called the donation a "watershed moment" for the institution.

A future terrorist was caught in the act – chewing his food into the shape of a gun.
The 7-year-old was suspended by his school in Maryland. An assistant principal said he pointed the gun-shaped pastry at a classmate and said, "Bang, bang!"
The second grader denied that, but was suspended for two days.
The school sent home a letter with other students to explain what happened and offer counseling.

computational mechanics
Computational mechanics emphasizes the development of mathematical models representing physical phenomena, including the application of modern computing methods to analyze these phenomena. It draws on the disciplines of physics, mechanics, mathematics, and computer science, and encompasses numerical methods for application to various problems in science and engineering. The general scope of work in computational mechanics includes fundamental studies of multiscale phenomena and processes in civil engineering, from kilometer-scale problems to a much finer scale up to and including the nano-scale.
Research presently being undertaken in computational mechanics dealing with kilometer-scale problems includes numerical simulation of folding and fracturing of sedimentary rock strata using combined elastoplastic-damage continuum theory along with enhanced finite element (FE) methods for shear localization analysis, as well as simulation of regional-scale earthquake fault nucleation and propagation using a finite deformation stick-slip law with a variable coefficient of friction. Research dealing with meter-scale problems includes development of constitutive models for new high-performance materials such as ductile fiber-reinforced concrete and modeling of nonlinear response of structural systems that use high-performance composite materials. Research on problems dealing with a much finer scale includes theoretical and numerical investigation into the micromechanics of porous media using coupled Lattice-Boltzmann (LB)/FE simulations of fluid flow hydrodynamics through micron-scale pores in rocks.
Measurement and calibration are key to a successful development of computational algorithms and numerical models at different scales. Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology, including laser scanning, GPS, and digital imagery provides high-resolution topographic data to constrain kilometer-scale fold models and decameter-long, centimeter-thickness fractures. At the other end of the spectrum lie the advances of 3D digital imaging of lab specimens using X-Ray computed tomography with micron-scale resolution. Combined with traditional testing of centimeter- and meter-scale lab specimens, numerical models can now reach a level of mathematical sophistication commensurate with our ability to measure relevant response variables. A great challenge in computational mechanics research is bridging the different scales without sacrificing resolution. For example, effort is underway toward bridging the gap between continuum-scale and atomistic molecular dynamics through combining the particle-based LB approach with the continuum-based FE method to model the fluid flow hydrodynamics through porous rocks.
In order for a computational technique to be competitive it is essential to consider not only the spatial and temporal discretization procedures but also how the equations will be solved. While it is generally acknowledged that parallel supercomputing offers considerable promise for solving large problems of practical interest, it is important to recognize that new algorithms and data structures have to be developed to exploit the new discretization methods and attack the intrinsic difficulties of the problem being addressed. Adaptive and stabilized solution schemes based on error estimation also provide unique challenges for solver technology. Current work in our group involves the development of new solution algorithms for multiscale statics and dynamics problems related to parallel and distributed computing.

Lamina Ceramics (Booth #728) has launched a 13,300-lumen RGB LED array, generating light in more than 16 million colors, including white. The company is now accepting orders for delivery of the device during the second quarter of 2005.
According to Lamina, the 13,300 lumen, 860W RGB LED engine breaks a world record with 677 lumens per square inch of saturated colors. (The previous best-to-date array provided 100 lumens per square inch.) Featuring independently controlled channels for red, green, blue, or additive color mixing to produce white, it provides 4,600 lumens of red (at 210W), 7,600 lumens of green (at 320W), and 1,100 lumens of blue light (at 330W). Additionally, it features variable color temperatures ranging from 3,000 - 6,500ºK., with corresponding lumen output ranging from 6,500 - 9000.
The high light output is achieved through a proprietary multi-layer ceramic-on-metal packaging, providing an extremely high level of thermal management and interconnectivity between individual light-emitting diodes, designated "low temperature co-fired ceramic-on-metal" (LTCC-M). LTCC-M enables dense clustering of multiple LEDs to achieve high intensities in very small footprints: the array of LEDs comprising the light engine is round and 5 inches in diameter.
LTCC-M technology has emerged from years of research and development in the Sarnoff laboratories, the same labs that developed inventions such as color television and key technologies used in cell phones, laptops, watches, today's high definition television (HDTV), and satellite TV technology, to name a few. Lamina is the exclusive licensee of Sarnoff's 12 years of research into LTCC-M.
With outputs ranging from 8 to 2000 lumens (and passively cooled), lower intensity light engines are available in a variety of customizable configurations from 7.3 by 8.4 mm (delivering from 8 to 45 lumens) to 26.7 by 31.8 mm (delivering from 162 to 2000 lumens). Wattages range from 1 to 100 in colors including white, amber, red, blue, green, and RGB.
