Commuting Through History
- Friday, November 07, 2003
When I talk to friends who live "out there in the real world," inevitably they end up asking me how I like driving "in all that traffic." My family moved to the Washington, D.C., area this past January from Richmond, Va., and such a move still mystifies a lot of people I know. The truth is, I love my daily commute from Arlington to the heart of our nation's capital.
Yes, it sounds crazy.
It's not the traffic I love, it's the route I take and the time I have in which I'm able to contemplate life's great questions. Just minutes after leaving my home, I drive down the beautiful George Washington Parkway that runs by the Potomac River. My radio is usually tuned to Christian programming so I can be challenged, encouraged and instructed in matters of faith and in those things eternal.
As I travel over the Memorial Bridge and onto Constitution Avenue, my drive becomes an amazing journey through America's rich Judeo-Christian history, as reflected on and in many of the stately government buildings and monuments throughout the city. Of course, some of these buildings evoke visions of government waste and potential abuse of power (the IRS and EPA buildings come to mind).
But there is much of value on and in many of the structures. As I pass the Federal Reserve on my left, I am reminded of how blessed I am to live in a land that believes in economic freedom and opportunity for all. As I continue toward the Capitol, I'm moved by the setting of the White House on my left and am reminded to pray for our president.
Across the street is the Washington Monument – dedicated to one of the most outspoken Christian leaders and warriors in our history. I think Gen. Washington would approve of his memorial elegantly reaching to the sky, declaring the majesty of freedom.
A highlight of my drive includes passing by the National Archives that bears the inscription, "The ties that bind the lives of our people in one indissoluble union are perpetuated in the archives of our government and to their custody this building is dedicated." I have given this statement much thought during my daily commute. "The archives of our government" truly do "bind the lives of our people in one indissoluble union."
But how? How is that America has risen to be the most powerful and free nation on the Earth in just over 200 years? There's only one reason: Our founding documents are based on those Judeo-Christian principles of personal responsibility and the truth of liberty. Many of today's history books miss the vital lessons of our history regarding the faith of our founding fathers. There's much that can be learned about our rich heritage by simply spending time on Internet sites such as the Founder's Almanac, Vision Forum, AmeriSearch, Christian Heritage Tours and Wall Builders. These sites are dedicated to providing both adults and children with an understanding of the miracle of our nation's birth and success against overwhelming odds.
As I pass the Capitol, again, I frequently find myself praying that God's wisdom be imparted to our leaders. Many prayers are also sent Heaven's way as I catch a glimpse of the Supreme Court of the United States. These two buildings are impressive both for their beauty and for their representation of the power of the people who work there. I remind myself that the men and women in these buildings are just that – fallible men and women who only have the power that God has given them.

Calcium supplements are used by people to increase their intake of calcium, a mineral the body needs to make bones and teeth.
When you are choosing a calcium supplement, it is important to know the amount of elemental calcium in the recommended dose. Elemental calcium is the amount of calcium that is actually used by the body. Consumers are advised to look at the amount of elemental calcium in each tablet in a supplement, as opposed to the strength of each tablet, which includes other substances.
Types of calcium supplements include:
A person who takes calcium supplements should drink plenty of water and take other steps to avoid constipation.
Coral, bonemeal, oyster shell, and dolomite contain calcium naturally but may also contain heavy metals, particularly lead.

Isaac Tichauer released a new single & made a mixtape, playing Glasslands w/ JDH & Dave P before Hudson Project
by Andrew Sacher
Sydney producer Isaac Tichauer is a member of the excellent French Express label which is responsible for some of the better names in the current "house revival" (Moon Boots, Chris Malinchak, etc). Isaac's newest single is "Changes," which is less thumping and bass-heavy than some of the other stuff in this realm, but a cool, chilled-out version of it. It's good stuff and can be streamed below.
Isaac also just made a mixtape which features tracks from Leon Vynehall, Moodymann, Jabru, LTMDTW + Jess Boykins and more. That premieres in this post and can be streamed below as well.
He's got some upcoming dates this weekend too, including a show in NYC on Friday (7/11) at Glasslands with FIXED's JDH & Dave P. Tickets for that show are on sale now. He plays DC on Saturday, and then returns to NY on Sunday for upstate festival The Hudson Project with labelmate Moon Boots, Kendrick Lamar, Modest Mouse, The Flaming Lips and more.
All of his dates are listed, with the new mixtape and "Changes" streams, below...

Twitter is great for those fleeting thoughts one has that maybe aren't work blogging about, but are worth saving all the same. I had a bunch of these thoughts last Thursday when the iPhone App Store went live and I was testing out all sorts of applications. Here are the relevant ones:
07:24 App Store is live on my phone!
07:36 First tweet from Mobile Twitteriffic.
07:47 Replacing all my webclips with proper iPhone apps.
10:19 Exposure's "Near Me" feature is broken. What are "metres"? :-p
10:23 Is anyone else able to use the Facebook app? I'm getting a "Cannot connect at this time." error.
10:39 Protip: Do not enter your News Gator credential into NNW Touch if you haven't logged into the account in a year or so.
10:47 Now we know why Apple stopped including remotes with Macs: They'd rather you buy an iPhone and use Remote.app instead. Talk about upselling.
13:58 Shazam accurately found two songs playing at the restaurant during lunch today. Midomi did not.
14:18 It's annoying that I have to keep retyping my iTunes password almost every time I want to download something from the App Store.
18:35 Facebook app gets a big "meh" from me. Much less functionality than the webapp.
18:42 Putting on an extra polo shirt while Loopt installs.
19:22 It appears I haven't opened NNW since Feb 07. I can't give up GReader, so it looks like I'll need to come up with an On The Go feed list.
And here are some quick reviews that I posted on Ars:
AIM - This is slightly less useful until push functionality is available.
Facebook - Looks promising (at least better than using the web interface), but I can't get past the login screen ("Unable to connect at this time.") NOTE: I have been able to login and the app has less features than the mobile site. So far this is the only app I'm considering going back to the webclip.
Twitterrific - Pretty nice. Definitely beats the Twitter's mobile site. Photo integration and location updating are cool too.
Exposure - Nice, but limited on 2G. Not sure how often I'll look at Flickr on the go, but photos near me might be cool if I'm traveling.
CheckPlease - Works fine for me, but the icon is a bit dark for some reason.
NetNewsWire - I made the mistake of adding my NewsGator account after not visiting it for over a year. I'm a Google Reader guy so I'm curious to see how I'll put NNW to use.
NYTimes - Beats hitting up any mobile site, although the ads make the reading area a bit too small.
Bloomberg - Another NYT-style app. Being able track my stocks in nice, but I don't think it would replace the Stocks.app until they added a graph to it. Also, entering the number of shares using scrollers is pretty dumb.
Box Office - Looks good and the near me functionality works great.
Urban Spoon - Shaking for a random restaurant is cool, except that the first time I shook it came up with a restaurant that I hate.
Currency - Simple widget-like app. Nothing too fancy, but it's useful at time when I want to depress myself about how poorly the US Dollar is doing.
Dial Zero - This uses gethuman.com to show you how to get a human on the phone instead of dealing with automated systems. I rarely need to call tech support lines, but when I do, I'll hit up Dial Zero instead of the company's web site.
Cube Runner - One of the few free games out there. Very well tuned accelerometer handling, but not very fun. A nice tech demo, if anything.
midomi/Shazam - Both are "ID this song" apps that I haven't tried out yet. Cool and useful if it works well. NOTE: Since posting this, I've found that Shazam works infinitely better than midori, even though midori looks to have a few more features.
Remote.app - Looks just like iTunes on the iPhone except your music plays on the computer/Apple TV instead of the phone. This is really killer for Apple TV as it obviates the need to use the pretty-terrible Apple Remote. I'm hoping it lets me type into Apple TV searches as well, but even just scrolling through media will be much better on the phone than with the remote.
Fun Fact: To say that Thursday was just a tweetful day would be an understatement: I made 17 posts to Twitter out of 740 total. To put that in perspective: I've been on Twitter since early Feb 2007. That means 2.29% of my tweets came in just .2% of the time I've been on Twitter. Yowza.

So it's about time I get back to posting here. I've been away from here for far too long, just shy of three months, longer than any other break I've taken.
My case of "noblog" wasn't isolated, however. Prolific blogger and VC Fred Wilson, had nothing blog worthy to say one day in mid-June, after finding something to write about every day for the past five years. Instead, he made a handful of posts on Twitter and Tumblr that day. As he put so bluntly, "I think its time to acknowledge that long form blogging every day may be coming to an end."
Other bloggers were also not putting as much down as they'd like. Russell Beattie, who took a year off from blogging before returning in April 2007, also found it difficult to keep up with a rigorous blogging regimen: "So I'm going to start blogging regularly again… A couple months ago, I was getting sick of blogging and decided to ratchet down the number of posts I wrote in some sort of attempt to change things up and maybe improve the quality of the blog. It didn't work."
So after an 8-post April and a 2-post May, Russell was back up to around 20 posts in June, about what he was doing prior to the two "slow" months.
Fellow Arsian Josh Bancroft not-so-recently wrote about how he wants "write more. Do more. Hack more. Learn more." In that post he writes on a topic that I've touched on a bunch of times over the years - making the transition from consumer to producer. I think Josh is way more on the producer side than I am, and his desire to move even further in that direction makes me think I could push myself a bit more in that direction as well.
That is not to say that I haven't been producing content just because I haven't been blogging. I've been twittering a whole lot more (although the number of tweets I put out fluctuates tremendously from day to day), and perhaps the number one enemy to my desire to blog is Google's "share with note" feature that they introduced in early June. Instead of linking to an interesting item here, I can just share the item and a few words to my Google Reader friends. It is much easier than preparing a post on a blog, for better or worse.
And of course there's the iPhone SDK. I've been working on a few ideas (for myself and others), one of which was finished just this morning and submitted to the App Store (more to come on that once the NDA expires).
Perhaps my hiatus was part of a more general trend towards something else (Twitter, FriendFeed, Google Reader Shared Items, etc). Even if that is the case, a personal blog feels, well, personal, and even if it doesn't provide value (or as much value as the aforementioned services) to the reader, it does provide quite a bit of value for the author, and I'll keep doing this until it ceases to do so (with month-long gaps at times, naturally).
The Blog That Jane Likes isn't niche blogging in the sense that the target audience is small (AntsMarching.org, perhaps the biggest of the aforementioned communities has 118k members, a little less than twice the subscribership of TechCrunch ;)), but because the amount of topics covered are relatively small. I maintain only three "real" categories: Shows, Downloads (Audio and Video), and Lyrics. The site is extremely content-rich. Each post has something readers want. There are no musings or links to funny sites or anything to distract readers from the content they came to get. It's been said many times, and that's because it's important: Focus is key.
Contrast that to what I've done here on occasion. I feel that only ill effects have come from posting about DMB on here. The people who view this as a tech blog are uninterested in the DMB content and the people who come here for the DMB content are uninterested in the tech talk. I lose out on both sets of readers because neither are interested enough in the other content to stick around. No one has time to read a blog where only 75% of the content is what they want when there are hundreds of other blogs that'll give them 100%.
While there is no way I would have made all the posts I've made on BTJL on here, I probably would have made a lot more posts about the new tour than the handful I've made. By starting this new blog I've been able to satisfy my DMB blogging fix while still being able to keep some kind of focus on this blog.

Just about 50 days ago, on May 30, on a whim I started a blog dedicated to the Dave Matthews Band titled The Blog That Jane Likes. This series of entries deals with some of the things I've learned after running the blog for a mere 50 days.
While there are strong communities centered around several message boards, there really are no real DMB blogs out there. In addition, most one-shot audio recordings (as opposed to full-length lossless recordings) are shared via yousendit and other ad-supported downloading sites. Since these sites are bandwidth or download-limited, most popular files need to be re-posted ad infinitum. It's a huge pain and a rather unreliable form of file propagation. With over 1TB/month of bandwidth and 25GB of storage to spare, I set out with the goal of making BTJL the place to download songs from the current tour.
The site has been a huge success, exceeding all my expectations. In the month of June, I've had 397 thousand requests to the site; July has had 150 thousand so far. I served 316 GB of data in June and 149 GB in July. All of this has been at zero incremental cost aside from the $7 domain registration.
I've made more from AdSense in the first few days from BTJL than I have in the year and half I've run this blog. Granted, I've peppered that site a bit more with ads than this one, which only had one ad until the latest redesign where it now has zero. While there's no way I could live off of the AdSense revenues, they will most likely cover my hosting costs for the year, which is good enough for me. I'm doing the site more for the fun of it than for any monetary reward.
Without incurring any costs, I had little to lose on a failed BTJL. Though I was in a bit of a unique situation with pre-existing hosting, there are plenty of free options (Wordpress.com and Blogger, for instance) for anyone who wants to start a blog. I don't know what those sites' policies on placing AdSense is, but I'm sure you can get away with Amazon referrals and the like.
Even if you do have to spend a bit, how's this for an idea: do it for fun and compare the cost to the price of a movie ticket, sporting event, video game, etc. Which one do you think will come out ahead? Talk is cheap, do it.

I've gone ahead and cleaned up the site, switching to a customized K2 theme that I've been working on myself with much thanks to Paul's excellent K2 customization guides. From my limited experience working with other themes and now with K2, I find K2 much easier to work with. There's only one CSS file to edit and I feel a lot more comfortable making changes to it.
I've also gotten rid of the Stand Up lyrics, which had no place on the site, let alone on the main page. The album's been out for over a year now and official lyrics are available on the band's site.
It's always going to be a work in progress, but I think I've now built a good base to start from. I've always been hesitant to keep things simple, always wanting to put more on the front page, but now I want to really scrutinize every little thing I put on the main page and whether it belongs there or not.
It may soon be time to switch The Blog That Jane Likes over to something other than the default Kubrick theme, but its been working fine without any real customization, so I'll focus on this blog more.

The DMB summer tour starts tomorrow and so does 60GB of FLAC and SHN concert downloads over the summer. On Windows, there are WinAmp plugins for playing SHN and FLAC files, but on the Mac we've been stuck with the now-defunct MacAmp Lite. I've always had problems getting it to play one format or the other and now with an Intel Mac, it being a PowerPC-only binary makes it undesirable to use.
On a quest to solve this little problem, I stumbled across Cog, an open source player for Mac OS X which will play strange formats like Ogg Vorbis and Monkey Audio as well as the usual MP3/AAC/WAV/AIFF and of course, SHN and FLAC.
Best of all, Cog is available as a Universal Binary, meaning that it will run natively on Intel Macs. While playing FLAC and SHN, I've found that Cog uses up less than 10% CPU.
Cog is in constant development, as apparent from their news and recent updates sections, so expect lots of great improvement as time goes on.

The new lyrics database written with Ruby on Rails is finally up. I had everything ready to go Friday night, but there were a couple of server configuration things that I had to figure out before the site actually worked. Because of the way it's set up now, you have to add a trailing '/' to the URL or else you'll get an error. I've updated all the links on this page, but you may need to update your bookmarks.
Google has released a pretty robust website stats package called Google Analytics. Straight from the horse's mouth:
Google Analytics tells you everything you want to know about how your visitors found you and how they interact with your site.
I've been a bit unhappy with the stats package DreamHost comes with, though granted I don't have much use for it anyway. Installing Analytics was as simple as copying three lines of code into my template, so it's too easy to not try it.
I can't really say much about how it works or the data it reports since no data appears despite them saying it'll be available "within 12 hours." Apparently demand was greater than they expected. I guess that's bound to happen when you release free, easy and useful software and your name is Google. A message on their help page dated (timed?) 5:22 PST states:
Currently, report updating for Google Analytics is experiencing delays. As a result, you may not be seeing any data in your reports even after implementing the Analytics tracking code.
We are currently in the process of updating all reports. You should be able to see these updates in several hours. While this is going on, you may notice different reports updating at different rates. Once this process has completed, all data should be restored to your profiles. Please be assured that this update process has no effect on data collection.
We apologize for any inconvenience. This reporting delay is associated with unexpected demand for Google Analytics. Under normal circumstances, the data in your reports will be at most six hours old.

Amac opens new hangar to cope with bizliner demand
Amac, the Swiss MRO company founded in 2007, opened a 90,500-sq-ft widebody hangar at Euro Airport Basel on December 2. The new building stands next to the company's initial 45,000-sq-ft hangar, which is capable of accommodating two single-aisle airliners. Plans for another large hangar are already in the pipeline.
While the expansion of the company's facility had been planned for a while, its inauguration comes at a time when many MRO companies would rather reduce than expand their facilities. However, Amac strategic president Heinz Köhli pointed out that completion work, which together with maintenance of large executive jets amounts to 90 percent of the company's work load, is an activity with long lead times. He said demand for private completions for airliners, both single-aisle and widebody, remains strong since only a few companies offer this type of service in Europe, and none in Asia. He noted that demand for VIP completions is rising in Asia, 12 VIP Airbus aircraft delivered there having set the ball rolling.
Amac's main competitors in Europe are Lufthansa Technik and Jet Aviation, the latter with a large facility also at the EuroAirport. According to Köhli, the handful of completion centers offering their services for large aircraft in the U.S., such as Associated Air Center and Gore Design Completions, are also facing demand that tends to exceed capacity. "We have a backlog of two years of work and I am confident that we will have no shortage of orders for at least the next five years," Köhli told AIN.
Middle East Demand
In its first two years of completion activity, Amac outfitted an Airbus A319 and A320, both for Middle East customers, and both were delivered within the agreed deadlines. The company has since taken delivery of a Boeing 777-200LR, currently in its new hangar. Another 777 will follow early this year and Amac has a signed letter of intent for the completion of a Boeing 747 for an undisclosed Middle East customer.
With a staff of more than 300, Amac currently has the capacity to carry out completions of three bizliners simultaneously and plans to hire and train more staff as demand dictates. It hopes to reach 390 workers by the end of this year.
Amac is an official Airbus outfitter, which means that it is regularly invited to submit completion offers for VIP versions sold by the European airframer.
On the maintenance side, capabilities of Amac include the Airbus A318/319/320/
321s; Boeing 737-600/700/800/900, including BBJ versions, and 777; Gulfstream IV and V; Bombardier BD-700, including the Global Express, XRS and 5000; and the McDonnell Douglas/Boeing MD-80 series. Amac plans to open early next year a third hangar devoted to maintenance of large aircraft. Among other orders, Amac has a commitment from a customer for a D-check on a Boeing 747.
Amac is an EASA Continuing Airworthiness Management Organization (CAMO), allowing it to offer reliable maintenance monitoring in a controlled environment. So far, the Swiss company has approvals as an EADS Part 145 repair station and by a number of other national authorities.
Amac is also active in aircraft management and executive charter, a segment that currently accounts for 10 percent of sales. The managed fleet includes seven aircraft of various sizes, from a Piaggio Avanti to a private A320. A new Falcon 7X will join the fleet during the first quarter of this year. Aircraft management and executive charter are handled by Amac's Zurich office.

Immediately said yes to 'Splitsvilla': Sunny Leone
Indo-Canadian adult film actress Sunny Leone is back to where she started her career in Hindi showbiz - the small screen. She has signed up as the host of popular dating reality show "MTV Splitsvilla", and she is excited.
Sunny, who recently hosted MTV's "Haunted Weekends" made inroads into the Mumbai entertainment industry following her 2011 appearance on "Bigg Boss 5".
"I recently hosted a show for MTV and I totally loved working with such a creative bunch of people. So when they came back to me with the offer of hosting 'MTV Splitsvilla', I immediately said yes," Sunny said in a statement.
"It's a fun show focussing on the youth and one of the biggest and most watched shows on MTV. I'm excited to be a part of 'MTV Splitsvilla' and I hope people will love me in my new avatar as well," she added.
The show has an equal number of girls and boys fighting their battle of love to win the crown of the king and the queen.
Sunny will co-host the seventh season of the show with Nikhil Chinapa. It will go on air in a few months, said a source.
The actress has been successful in creating space and visibility for herself on the Bollywood screens so far. After her debut with 2012 erotic thriller "Jism 2", she featured in "Jackpot" and "Ragini MMS 2". She has also grooved to an item song in "Shootout At Wadala".
The last season of "MTV Splitsvilla" was hosted by Sherlyn Chopra.

As a torn paper might seal up its side,
Or a streak of water stitch itself to silk,
And disappear, my wound has been my healing,
And I am made more beautiful by losses.
See the flat water in the distance nodding
Approval, the light that fell in love with statutes,
Seeing me alive, turn its motion toward me.
Shorn, I rejoice in what was taken from me.
What can the moonlight do with my new shape

Sometimes you just have to shake your head. A week or so ago it was NBC stallwart Bob Costas who spoke about the blogging industry and how blogging "idiots" had no one holding them responsible for their "idiot" remarks. See bloggers can say what they want. We don't have editors that pour over every word and ask for sources. If we have one we can say we do, if we don't, oh well.
So if bloggers can say whatever they want according to Costas (who by the way I like), then why is is that the real media guys can say stuff like that and not get called on the carpet for it? Is it because they are "edumacated" in the arts of writing?
Under the headline, "Potential Dolphins-Vikings deal?", St. Paul Pioneer Press writer Charley Walters writes this gem:
Trading unpredictable left tackle Bryant McKinnie to the Dolphins for high-character pass rusher Jason Taylor would seem to make sense for the Vikings. The problem for Minnesota, though, would be replacing McKinnie. Next month's NFL draft will feature several top offensive linemen, but they're expected to go early, and the Vikings don't pick until No. 17 in the first round.
Hey Chuck, did they teach you to put the question mark at the end? Does that preclude your statement from being taken out of serious context? Is that a "Journalist" thing?
Considering I'm a blogger, and therefore an idiot, I'm not going to link to that article. Why? Because you just read exactly what I did. Nothing more. No explanation. No "according to a source" in the next paragraph, or "I was told" in the preceding one. What you just read, is exactly what he wrote. Oh, it's in a section titled "Don't print that" so perhaps that is his way of making a joke.
I'm laughing…really I am…on the inside. While guys like Bob Costas ridicules us bloggers for piss poor journalism…which of course we are not journalists…our bank accounts say so and so does the fact that you don't see us standing next to half naked men at a locker, it is becoming increasingly "idiotic" that someone who does get paid can write drivel like that.
So, following the great writing techniques of one Charley Walters, I will write this:
Vikings Rick Speilman To Give Miami Bryant McKinnie For A Poster Of Jason Taylor!
Unlike Walters, I have personal knowledge of the way that Rick Speilman does his business and I can say I'm not that far off in my title. Oh, and Chuck…you can go ahead and print that…I'm a blogger, I can make that stuff up!

A good name considering the twist and turn of the photo shoot? To which my king replies: And who's the king?
Let's get back into my picture frame…
Alternative name: Shy Peacock… a very soft cotton-synthetic silk mix that given any shape would shortly become good friends with one's body… an exotic print of ancient stories told in golden brown and deep dark blue… it winked to a piece of cloth on the shelf which was traditionally meant for a sari blouse, a dark blue night sky with darker paths and royal embossed golden stars… pleats started to dance and more geometry took place in bows and chess boards…

Louis Delmas
The most important production Delmas has had this season is his presence. He has missed only three snaps this season, after questions in the offseason about whether he'd ever even be healthy enough to string together more than a few plays.
Delmas always sports a disturbingly high tackle-to-missed-tackle ratio (23-7, at the moment), because of how often he tries to square up on guys and launch himself for the big hit without wrapping up. He probably needs to stop doing that, but I doubt he ever will. His coverage skills have been trending down in the last four games, but he did have two interceptions against Chicago. His grade would be higher if he'd pulled one down before or since. Everybody picks off Jay Cutler.
Grade: B-
It's hard to really quantify Delmas' impact. It seems like even when he doesn't play especially well, the Lions' defense plays differently when Delmas is flying around the field. More coherent, maybe. Delmas is a vocal and emotional leader, and it seems like every so often he just flies out of nowhere to take out a running back at the line of scrimmage to fire everyone up. He's starting to re-earn his "Missile" moniker.
Grade: A-
Vs. Expectations
Everybody already knows Delmas can play, so the expectations were less about what he did on the field and more about whether he could get there. He has exceeded any and all expectations in that regard, and Delmas' health hasn't even been a whisper of a concern for most of the season. Now we see if he can keep it up over the last eight (or more) games.
Grade: A
Seeing Delmas play consistently is as strange as it is entertaining. But many of the problems that have plagued him in the past continue to do so. He still misses tackles, and is only sporadically effective in coverage. Still, there's no denying that Delmas is a spark plug for the defense, and for as fundamentally unsound as some aspects of his game are, he maintains explosiveness everywhere on the field.
Grade: B

Everlane Card Case now $40
Some of you may remember that I bought this card case from Everlane a few months ago, and was quite a fan (you can read the review here). I was just surfing their site the other day because I'd been contacted about their new shirt shop, and saw that the wallet has been reduced $5 from the original release price of $45, which is what I paid. At first I thought they'd perhaps moved production of the wallet from Spain to China, but that doesn't appear to be the case.
I was already quite impressed by the quality of the wallet (nice full grain leather, made in Spain, cool angled pockets, and a very slim profile) at $45, and was further impressed to see that they'd decided to drop the price a further $5, down to $40.
At that price, this is one of the best deals I've seen for a nice solid quality leather card case wallet. Though I carry my Chester Mox wallet on most days, whenever I wear a suit and need something that takes up very little space, this gets slipped into my interior chest pocket. It fits your license, a credit card or two, and a few folded bills perfectly. For a day/night out, there's not much more you need than that (except maybe bills of a higher denomination than that shown here).
Everlane has added a few more colors of this wallet since I bought mine (the one in the pictures above is the Burgundy), including a nice dark brown (Espresso) and a sky blue (Lake).
Everlane is a site which requires membership to make a purchase, so if you're not already a member please feel free to use my invite link: here.

East Coast Computer Algebra Day 2013
Invited Talks
What's the best data structure for multivariate polynomials in a world with 64 bit multicore computers?
Michael Monagan
Centre for Experimental and Constructive Mathematics
Simon Fraser University
We have designed and implemented a new polynomial data structure to speed up polynomial multiplication and division and we have implemented parallel algorithms for both operations. When we integrated our software into Maple we found that often most of the time is spent converting to and from our polynomial data structure and Maple's polynomial data structure.
It's rather pointless to have a great parallel algorithm if 60% of the time is spent converting between polynomial representations!
How do we reduce overhead so that we get decent parallel speedup? In the talk I'll show our solution to this problem which is now available in Maple 17. I'll compare our new data structure with the data structures used in other computer algebra systems. I'll present an old forgotten algorithm for polynomial multiplication and our parallelization of it. I'll present some timings run on an Intel Core i7 that show that our improvements to polynomial multiplication and division improve polynomial factorization as well. I'll compare Maple 17 with Mathematica 9, Magma 2.19-1 and Singular 3-1-4 on a variety of polynomial benchmarks.
This is joint work with Roman Pearce.
Finding closed form solutions of differential equations
Manuel Kauers, RISC-Linz
We consider ordinary linear differential equations with polynomial coefficients. Each such equation has a finite dimensional vector space of solutions, but usually none of these solutions can be expressed in closed form. We discuss the problem of finding out for a given specific differential equation whether one (or some, or all) of its solutions admit a closed form representation. After recalling the classical algorithms for finding polynomial and rational solutions, we turn to hyperexponential solutions. These are solutions that can be written in the form \(\exp(u(x))v_1(x)^{e_1}\cdots v_k(x)^{e_k}\) for certain rational functions \(u,v_1,\dots,v_k\) and constants \(e_1,\dots,e_k\). The first algorithm for finding such solutions was proposed by Beke at the end of the 19th century. His algorithm is very costly. A more efficient algorithm was given at the end of the 20th century by Mark van Hoeij. We will sketch the basic ideas of these two algorithms and then present a new algorithm based on effective analytic continuation, which was recently found by the speaker in joint work with F. Johansson and M. Mezzarobba [arXiv:1301.2486].
New Cryptographic Challenges: Computing on Remote Data
Shafi Goldwasser, MIT
Modern technologies such as cloud computing raise fundamentally new cryptographic challenges: how to extract useful information from encrypted data and still preserve privacy?
In this talk, I will present recent work on functional encryption schemes and its applications to reusable garbled circuits and delegating computations.

After having been involved in the fast world of race car driving, Tissot further strengthens its ties in motor sports by identifying itself with MotoGPTM and becoming its Official Timekeeper in 2001. Tissot's association with the prestigious world events in the innovative and fast-moving world of motorcycling reflects the dynamic nature of the company and its products, the precision of its movements, and its desire, like those of the participants in these championships, for ever increasing performance in all that they do. In 2003, Tissot produces the first Official MotoGP Watch, getting inspiration from the fast bikes and so producing the Tissot T-Race in 2004.
The Tissot T-Race MotoGP Limited Edition 2014 watch shows all the signs of the great synergy between Tissot and MotoGP. Black and red, it bears the colours of MotoGPTM and of Tissot, showing their dynamism and the fiery passion that they both carry. Furthermore, it has the precision that the Official Timekeeper provides during the exhilarating races, as motorbikes are separated by only thousandths of a second at the finish line, and the one that the racers themselves demonstrate on the track.
Marc Marquez celebrated that MotoGP™ World Championship victory six days ago by grabbing his 12th pole position of the season after leading qualifying for the Tissot Australian Grand Prix at Phillip Island this afternoon.The Honda rider led the way from the Ducati of Cal Crutchlow and Yamaha of Jorge Lorenzo to receive the Tissot T-Touch Expert Solar pole setting watch from Tissot AFL MotoGP...More

Ah, the mid-life crisis. When men may turn to speedy sports cars and hair replacement therapy to replace their dwindling testosterone. When women may spend hours at Curves, squeeze into a pair of high-waisted, too-tight tapered jeans purchased in approximately 1988 and spend their Tuesday nights with girlfriends at the local No Frills Grill, making eyes at men with speedy sports cars and hair plugs. To each his own. But I commend the Dallas Tap Dazzlers, our very own local 45-and-up tap-dancing group, for approaching mid-life the way mid-life should be approached: with sequined costumes, control-top pantyhose and some sweet, sweet tap-dancin' beats. Rock on, laydeez. They're performing with the Lake Highlands Wildcat Wranglers Saturday, March 4, at the Eastfield College Performance Hall, 3737 Motley Drive in Mesquite.

I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favourite X on Y is a snowclone phrase originating from a line of dialogue video game Mass Effect 2, developed by BioWare. Fans of the game found the phrase unintentionally funny and highly exploitable, and began using it extensively, both sarcastically and sincerely.
Commander Shepard is the player character from the popular video game Mass Effect 2, in which the player has the option of changing the course of the story in major and minor ways through in-game interactions with other characters. One such interaction involves getting discounts from stores on the Citadel space station by advertising for them, proclaiming via public address that a certain store is your favorite on the Citadel. The player has the option of offering this to multiple stores, creating the humorous effect that Commander Shepard has endorsed every store as his favorite.
Reference in Mass Effect 3
Developer BioWare referenced the line in the third mass Effect game, released in 2012.

Its time for this weeks' edition of Earning their Stripes, a segment dedicated to Bengals players who have stepped up to play above and beyond expectations and had one of the best performances of the past Bengals contest. This weeks' award goes to defensive-end Michael Johnson.
After a relatively quiet opening game against the Ravens, Johnson facEd Browns All-Pro left-tackle Joe Thomas last week and managed to get 1 QB pressure, 1 sack, and a fumble recovery. On Sunday vs. the Redskins who held the NFL's #1 scoring while the Bengals were down Pro-Bowl corner Leon Hall, Johnson made sure Robert Griffin III had pressure in his face all game long, accounting for 3 sacks, 7 QB hits, and also played good run-support as he recorded 4 tackles-for-loss.
After 3 disappointing seasons which saw him only record 11 sacks, Johnson is already up to 4 this year, just 2 shy of his career season-high. His pass-rush is a huge boost to a Bengals team with a badly depleted secondary, and if he and fellow d-line mate Carlos Dunlap, Domata Peko and Geno Atkins can continue to pressure opposing QBs consistently, the Bengals may just be able to overcome their deficiencies. He's in the midst of a contract season, so he knows that with every sack he gets from here on out, its more money in his pocket this spring.

Hey there!
Indigo Sollux is deaf because babies on meteors going at high speeds towards the ground would proooobably suffer SOME form of injury. I just decided that his injury would be deafness from having blown-out eardrums.
In the bad ending where he wins the fight against who? I think you might be talking about the three-way fight between Sollux, Aradia, and Vriska. If he won that fight, then things would probably end up going right for Equius and his posse but not for anyone else.
And yes, if I had continued the story, Nepeta would have confessed. Thanks for asking! :)
And I honestly feel really good about it because it means that I made something that a lot of people read and loved. I know I got some critiques on it, and I know that it's long gone by now, but it was fun while it lasted and I honestly feel glad that I did it.
I don't really know how to explain it but to read through what I wrote and to understand that people actually really liked it just fills me up with butterflies and I feel amazing for making something that people like and asdfhawruhgaelkrjgha ALL THE HAPPY.
Oh, you're Chilean? I'm from Chile too! I have lived in the United States since I was 3. I wrote and drew Don't Name It for as long as it lasted.
The trick is to draw every day with the express purpose to improve. It doesn't even have to be something really big, like in anatomy or something. You could practice something like line weight, or accurate inking. Maybe you could even focus on getting eyes to look right on a human face. Just fill a whole sketchbook with something you don't think you're that good at! You might surprise yourself.
Sorry about DNI, by the way. I'm glad I took on that project though, cause if I didn't I wouldn't be nearly as good as I am at lineless art.
It's perfectly fine! I'll try to tell you everything that happened as far as I can remember.
Broad Daylight was going to be about the Midday Crew, and how they affected the Kids Session. John would discover the Midday Crew while asleep, and would use them to help further his Diabolical Plan (tm) he had for Derse and the war on Skaia. The Midday Crew would helm the Prospit Ship and be annoyed by Dave constantly, until eventually they land in Troll Skaia and meet the Midnight Crew. From what I can remember, Jack Noir did something really mean to Jinjur Cheren, and because of that the reckoning began early when John was trying to PREVENT it. Eventually there would have been an epic fight between the Midday Crew and the Midnight Crew, until Aradia got mixed into everything and went God Tier as a result.
His Highness, the Black King was going to center on John's Diabolical Plot (tm) where he would use his status as Prince of Derse to convince the Black King to not engage in the reckoning, which included a threat of battle. He would fight against the Black King and he would have either convinced him to back down or kill him outright. As a result, he would become the new Black King of Derse, and everyone would have to follow his orders, leading to him getting the ULTIMATE REWARD without having to engage the Reckoning, and sparing the planet Earth.
I want to be a First Guardian too, yaknow was going to be Dave Harley's character arc. Having been raised by a giant bird and a kooky martian his whole life, he would be convinced that he himself would one day gain First Guardian powers. He dresses in pure white and green in order to emulate them, as white and green are the colors of Guardians. He would do all sorts of things relating to guarding and such, and would be the most chivalrous and heroic of all the Kids. Eventually he would achieve God Tier as the Knave of Space, granting him the powers of a First Guardian, and declaring himself the Guardian of the Planet My Friends.
The Princess and the Pauper was about Jade and Rose. Because of Rose's Cinderella-like story arc, she would have been convinced that marrying a prince would get her out of her predicament. Since she had no interest in Dave, the only one she could go to was Jade. Jade would decline to marry her, instead opting for a more awesome route. Jade would use the Robots of her Land of Frost and Robots (I think that's what it was called?) as a Secret Army to confront the Black Queen and either destroy her or convince her to treat Rose like the princess she was meant to be. Rose would then become the new Black Queen, and she would probably also go God Tier just for good measure. Jade would then continue on with her life and have fun and probably also get God Tier too, I don't remember that clearly.
Who Framed Tavros Nitram? was going to be an explanation for why Tavros was so feared by everybody and also describe in detail what happened with Feferi. Tavros did not ever, in fact, destroy any property, kill anyone's lusus, or any of the things he was said to have done. It was all Equius who did that, with the assistance of Sollux and Nepeta. He would also be the one who would force a symbiotic relationship upon Feferi with Delilah, brainwashing her into being perpetually happy and making her do things that she wouldn't normally do for the sake of Equius' plans. When she was no longer of use, Sollux would have probably killed her and stuffed her in a box. Discovering all of this is what drives Tavros to attack Equius and try to make him pay for what he has done, most likely leading to his death. Or God Tiers. Whichever.
Karkat's Moving Castle was Karkat's character arc. Since he squished his gamegrub before entry and made it all glitchy, he would eventually be swallowed by Missingno. His death would utterly shatter Aradia's waking self, turning her into a lifeless husk similar to when she was dead in canon. Her zombie like state would make her fail in her duties as ambassador of her Land, and because of that (and the influence of Equius) the other Lands would declare war on hers. It would only be until Karkat came back as God Tier through Contrived Coincidences that everything would be back to normal, and the Prince of Heart would have done some pretty epic stuff I think. Then Karkat and Aradia would reunite and hug and everything would start to look up for them.
Daddy Droog was about Diamonds Droog and how he would slowly shift from his initial persona to a more fatherly one, until eventually he would be working alongside all the trolls to further the goals of THEM rather than the goals of the Midnight Crew. This would peeve Jack Noir off to no end, but then the Midday Crew would show up and Broad Daylight happens, essentially only leaving Droog around to do anything of importance. He would probably also help them plan a way to take down Equius.
The Boy in White would be Equius' character arc. It would be here that all the questions would be answered. Equius was the one who burned down Eridan's village and killed his lusus, broke Feferi's hive and killed her lusus, smooshed Sollux's and Nepeta's hives together, destroyed the door to the Ultimate Reward in the Kid's Session (causing them to have to fly all the way to THEIR session instead. So he could kill them), and so on and so forth until he is painted as the worst thing in the universe. Then Equius would use his First Guardian Powers to begin to destroy everything.
Sepulchritude would be the arc between Eridan, Vriska, and Problem Sleuth. The Personality Scanner that we got a short glimpse of would have been Eridan's closest Prospitian friend if he hadn't been commanded to die. I'm kind of foggy on the details, but I remember Problem Sleuth would have led Vriska and Eridan to engage in God Tier, and he himself would have engaged in Sepulchritude, and in the midst of all of this, while all the Lands are being destroyed by Equius, all the people who hadn't reached God Tier would would reach it during this time. The Kids would also fight alongside them, two God Tiers + The Black King and Queen + two First Guardians and also Droog is there too. I think Nepeta and Sollux would also turn against Equius at this point.
The End would be solely dedicated to the final battle against Equius. It would have been amazing. And once it was all done, they would go through the door to the Ultimate Reward and probably never look back.
I hope this answers your question, sorry I was so long winded about it.

Season Grade: B-
With Evan Turner being drafted 2nd overall in the 2010 draft, he has failed to meet the high expectations set for him by Sixers fans once again. While this was the best season of his career thus far, it just wasn't good enough. Turner finished with 13.3 PPG, 4.3 APG, and 6.3 RPG. There were parts to his game that were impressive; he stepped up in clutch situations at times and grabbed key rebounds. But what really disappointed me the most was his inconsistency. The Sixers need Turner to be a reliable, consistent, and talented player, and unfortunately so far he has not shown us that he can be that guy. I believe that Turner has the potential and can improve, it just might take him a little bit longer than others.

Atheists in the Pulpit: The Sad Charade of the Clergy Project
- Thursday, August 30, 2012
Christianity has little to fear from the Clergy Project. Its website reveals it to be a toothless tiger that will attract media attention, and that is about all. The greater danger to the church is a reduction in doctrine that leaves atheism hard to distinguish from belief. And the real forces to fear are those who would counsel such a reduction.

One half of the World Series puzzle is in place now after the Redbirds totally destroyed Kershaw and the Dodgers last night, but the big news for me was the win up north of the border with the Calgary Stampeders. There's a ton more going on today, of course, so let's jump right in.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL (1-0 last night and 2-1 so far for the week)
BUTTA (no plays so far for the week)
1. Florida (-3) over MISSOURI - It was one of the biggest wins in Mizzou football history last week down in Georgia, but it came at a great price. The Tigers lost their QB, possibly for the remainder of the season. I like the kid that's going to step in now. He looks a bit like a Chase Daniel clone, but having to go against this Gator defense in his first collegiate start appears to be a bridge too far.
1. Usc (+2 1/2) at NOTRE DAME - The Trojans look like a different team without ex-Coach Kiffin. I don't like going against God, especially when Coach Kelly has an extra week to prepare, but all the numbers I've got favor USC.
2. Florida St. (-3 1/2) over CLEMSON - It's so hard to go into Death Valley and win a football game, and the home team has won the last 6 meetings in this series. But I like the road team tonight because they're bringing the better defense with them. That's not to say that points won't be scored in this one, but I like the 'Noles chances to get a stop or too when they really need it and tip the scales.
3. Syracuse (+7) at GEORGIA TECH - Tech is going through a rough patch right now. I think they get back on track with a win today, but the 'Cuse is a feisty bunch. I think a full TD is probably too much for the Yellowjackets to cover.
4. CINCINNATI (-14 1/2) over UConn - The Bearcats are suddenly alive again in the AAC after Louisville lost last night, and UConn isn't very good.
5. BUFFALO (-19 1/2) over UMass - Buffalo's light schedule continues, but I'm wondering if maybe the numbers are starting to get a little too high for them.
6. Ohio (-16 1/2) over E. MICHIGAN - We've seen this movie before with the Bobcats. After getting upset last week, Ohio will get serious against a weak opponent this week.
7. Ball St. (-20) over W. MICHIGAN - Ball St. had a tough go of it last week, but they did win their game. Western is struggling through a very difficult season.
8. E. CAROLINA (-23) over So. Miss - The Pirates should be able to dominate this game, but they have played a lot closer the last couple of weeks than they should have. This will be their first home game in a month though, so I'll give Carolina the edge with a big number.
9. S. Carolina (-7) over TENNESSEE - In a weird scheduling anomaly, the Gamecocks are in the middle game of a 3-game conference road trip today. I still like them a lot today, but the really big game for them in this stretch comes next week when they play Missouri.
10. Oregon St. (-10) over CAL - A 2nd straight road game for the Beavs, but this Cal team really isn't good at all, and they especially struggle on defense. I've got a lot of time to think about this one, but I just might make a move here after all is said and done. Stay tuned.
11. Rice (-17) over NEW MEXICO ST.
12. HOUSTON (+9 1/2) vs. Byu
13. Army (-1) over TEMPLE
14. TOLEDO (-9) over Navy
15. S. ALABAMA (-7) over Kent St.
16. VIRGINIA (-3) over Duke
17. Maryland (-5 1/2) over WAKE FOREST - The Terps get their starting QB back for this game, so fear the turtle. I'm not sure I want to move on this one though. Maryland will be without their long snapper and kicker today.
18. MEMPHIS (-3 1/2) over Smu
19. N. Illinois (-14 1/2) over C. MICHIGAN
20. MIAMI-O. (+7) vs. Akron
21. ILLINOIS (+14) vs. Wisconsin
22. Indiana (+9) at MICHIGAN
23. MICHIGAN ST. (-27 1/2) over Purdue
24. Minnesota (+12 1/2) at NORTHWESTERN - I don't like this whole situation with Coach Kill. I hate to say it, but his health issues are a big distraction, and he needs to go. With that being said, Northwestern will be without it's starting QB and RB today, so the Gophers should be able to hang in there today.
25. OHIO ST. (-18) over Iowa - All my models have Iowa getting in under the number here, but this is a huge step up in class for them today.
26. N. Texas (-3 1/2) over LA. TECH
27. Georgia St. (+16) at TEXAS ST.
28. ALABAMA (-29) over Arkansas
29. Lsu (-10) over MISSISSIPPI - A couple of weeks ago, this would be a dangerous game, but it looks like LSU might have found their defense. This game will be a good test of that theory.
30. TEXAS A&M (-13) over Auburn - Can't lay this kind of number into that A&M defense.
31. Georgia (-6 1/2) over VANDERBILT - The Bulldogs still aren't out of the race for an SEC title game berth, and Vandy just doesn't have the magic this season. I like Georgia to get back on track this week.
32. BAYLOR (-33 1/2) over Iowa St.
33. Oklahoma (-22) over KANSAS - The worst thing that happened to Kansas for this week is that Oklahoma lost to Texas last week.
34. Tcu (+7) at OKLAHOMA ST.
35. Texas Tech (-5 1/2) over W. VIRGINIA
36. BOISE ST. (-24) over Nevada - The Wolfpack play zero defense. I think they get overwhelmed on the blue turf tonight.
37. Unlv (+25) at FRESNO ST. - UNLV is feisty on offense, and this is just way too many points for that Fresno defense to try to cover.
38. Utah St. (-11 1/2) over NEW MEXICO - The weakness of the Aggies defense is their secondary, but that's something the Lobos can't exploit.
39. WYOMING (-6) over Colorado St. - It's a tough call for a big border war type rivalry game, but Wyoming looks like the better team.
40. ARIZONA (-4) over Utah
41. Washington (+3) at ARIZONA ST. - I prefer a road team with a physical defense and a strong running game, but Pac12 road teams are really hard to play.
42. OREGON (-39 1/2) over Washington St.
43. STANFORD (-4 1/2) over Ucla - This is one of the big games of the day. Stanford is stinging after a shocking loss last week at Utah, so they'll be motivated. The Cardinal play a very disciplined style of game, and that's not something that UCLA has excelled at this season. The Bruins spend a lot of time trying to make up for shooting themselves in the foot, and that should bite them this week.
I don't have a lot of irons in the fire today, I know, but as we have learned in the past, it's a quality over quantity thing. Have a great day, be careful out there and I'll see you tomorrow for what looks right now like a very interesting NFL Sunday.
