Requiem of a burned out travel blogger
How to stop tap dancing for the world and reclaim your sanity
Are you at a point in your life where you're constantly frazzled, burning the candle at both ends and can barely fire two synapses together because you are on emotional overload? You're being pulled from all sides….the boss has you on an impossible deadline and so far the only thing that you've managed to produce is a case of the heebie jeebies (but who can afford to be out of work in this economy?).
When carving your path in life, make sure that you're the sculptor
Everybody has a story. Each story is a mix of varying parts of happiness, sadness, hope and regret. It's rare to find anyone who is completely happy with their lot in life, but the smart ones know that complaining never helps nor does it make anything better. If they are dissatisfied with the path they're on, they'll strive to make changes that will take them on a different route.
Where I am likely to vacation (i.e., run for my dear, sweet life) when the Zombie Apocalypse finally hits….
I think there's a great possibility that people could wake up one day with a thirst for someone else's flesh and brain matter. Before you laugh, have you seen the way our own (American) Congress has been acting up lately? Scary, huh? Or………. I could be watching too many episodes of The Walking Dead. So, there's that.
Not all those who wander are lost
There are certain unpleasant truths in life. Racism is one of them because it refuses to die a natural death and can and will live on forever into eternity if left unchecked. Many would have us believe that it's unfashionable or gauche to declare this fact.
The heart wants what the heart wants
What a familiar refrain, it's romantic and decisive; but what if it didn't matter? What if some things are simply out of your reach no matter how much you desire it? I'm the biggest proponent of going out into the world to fight for what you want, but there are times when fighting, no matter how valiant, is useless.

Because Dogs are Heroes, Too.
So, it's National Dog Week, and while we love Banned Books Week, we absolutely don't want to forget our furry friends, either. To celebrate, we thought we'd share all of our children's dog books. All of them. Plus one dog-themed NYRB Classic. Ready, set…
He Was There from the Day We Moved In
By Rhoda Levine | Illustrated by Edward Gorey
A family moves into a new house and finds a sheepdog waiting—but waiting for what? Does the dog want dinner? a lollipop? a stray cat? conversation? No, what the dog wants is—a name! But you can't just choose any name for a grown-up dog. No, it has to be the right name.
Taka-Chan and I: A Dog's Journey to Japan and Back
By Betty Jean Lifton | Photographs by Eikoh Hosoe
The adorable Runcible, a Weimeraner, digs a hole from Cape Cod to Japan, where he discovers Taka-chan, a little girl imprisoned by a sea dragon. Runcible will do anything to free his new friend. The two head to Toyko, and there answer the dragon's challenge to find the most loyal creature in all the land.
Foxie: The Singing Dog
Written and Illustrated by Ingri and Edgar Parin d'Aulaire
The d'Aulaires bring Chekhov's story of a lost little dog to life with their beautiful illustrations as the sassy and talented Foxie—"with her head like a fox and her tail like a cinnamon roll"—finds adventure wherever she goes.
By William McCleery | Illustrated by Warren Chappell
Okay, so maybe a wolf isn't exactly a dog, but this book is just too cute: a father regales his five-year old son with tales of a fierce wolf and the son keeps interrupting and changing the story, totally usurping the bedtime storytelling.
By Sheila Burnford
The story of a small dog caught up in WWII who transforms the lives of people escaping occupied France. Can someone say heartwarming?
By J.R. Ackerley
Until he found himself in possession of a German shepherd named Tulip, J. R. Ackerley never considered himself much of a dog lover. That all changed, though, and this touching book tells of the 16 years Ackerley spent with the animal he came to adore. This book inspired a beautiful animated feature of the same name, voiced by Christopher Plummer and Isabella Rossellini. Watch the trailer here.

Former Rutland man held in deaths of teenage tenants in MaineThe Associated Press | December 30,2012PORTLAND, Maine - A 74-year-old Maine man was charged in the shooting deaths of two tenants inside an apartment he rented out at his home, possibly over a dispute about where they parked their cars during a snowstorm, state police said Sunday.
James Pak, who moved to Maine from Rutland, Vt., about six years ago, was arrested at about 10 p.m. Saturday following a standoff at his suburban neighborhood home in Biddeford, about 15 miles south of Portland, police said. He is charged with two counts of murder in the deaths of Derrick Thompson, 19, and Thompson's girlfriend, 18-year-old Alivia Welch.
Thompson's mother, Susan Johnson, 44, called police to report the shootings at about 7 p.m. She and her 6-year-old son also live in the apartment, which is attached to the main house where Pak lived.
Before the shootings, Biddeford police were called to Pak's home regarding a dispute between Pak and his tenants over their cars being parked in his driveway during the snowstorm, said state police spokesman Steve McCausland. Biddeford banned street parking during the night so city crews could plow the streets.
Minutes after officers left the home, they received the call reporting the shootings. Upon their return, Biddeford police rescued Johnson and her young son, and Pak retreated to his part of the house, where he lived with his wife, McCausland said.
Pak's wife left the home, and he surrendered hours later after talking to police negotiators, said McCausland. A gun was found in the house.
Johnson was being treated for a gunshot wound at a Portland hospital, officials said. Her younger son, Brayden, was not hurt.
Detectives are investigating whether the violence stemmed from a landlord-tenant dispute, McCausland said. Johnson and her family moved into the apartment in October.
Pak is being held at the York County Jail in Alfred and is expected to make his initial court appearance either Monday or Wednesday, depending on the availability of a judge.
The victim's bodies were transported Sunday to the medical examiner's office in Augusta, where autopsies will be performed.
Thompson was an auto detailer at a local car dealership and had attended Biddeford High School, and Welch worked at a local coffee shop and graduated from Thornton Academy in Saco, according to their Facebook profiles and a list of Thornton Academy graduates. Two people who answered a phone call at the coffee shop would not comment.MORE IN This Just InWHITE RIVER JUNCTION A Chester woman pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct for allegedly...

Dump and restore mysql procedures
MySQL procedures are a strange beast to me. However, sometimes you get to work on a site that uses them. When moving between production and dev servers, procedures are always missed. Here's what I do to carry them with me.
Speeding up and joining parts of a video using ffmpeg
If you need to speed up or slow down a video, you can find that in the speedup section of the ffmpeg manual.
However, if you need to speed up part of the video, there's a little subtlety you need to be aware of.
You would think you can just use
-ss <start> -t <duration> like other ffmpeg commands, and that is almost correct.
WTF - Server ignores connections from a specific machine
Suddenly, out of nowhere, no configuration change, the server decides to ignore completely any TCP connection request from a specific laptop on the home network.
This server is both a web server and a mail server, so it means that using this laptop, one cannot read/send email nor access the websites on that server.
Extracting embedded audio from a PDF
I recently purchased a PDF with embedded sound files from Piano For All The PDF also contains videos, but they were provided as separate files.
For the life of me, I was unable to find an application that can play those media files from the PDF. I tried Adobe Reader, which just sends me to a web page with a "no plug-ins to your OS exist". Then I tried Okular, my favourite PDF reader, and it too didn't work.

Thoughts on Drupal 7's pluggable field storage
Drupal7 introduces a lot of exciting and important innovations. As 1% of the biggest sites are now powered by Drupal, Drupal is at a stage it can take a lead at Internet technologies. Stuff like RDF needs a bootstrap from a major player in order to catch traction, and Drupal is taking a bold step here (and not for the first time). Other features, with less visibility to the non Drupal world, have quite a lot of significance as well.
The adoption of a generic data store allows support of the rather new noSQL movement.
Easy nginx with Drupal
If you are impatient, the code is at nginx_drupal. If you want to know what it's about - read on.
I recently needed to set up a consistent web server configuration for a Drupal web site. That site has 6 web servers and 3 images servers. The goal was to have a single nginx configuration file, with as little duplication as possible. The images servers are meant for the static content, and for imagecache only.
Although the servers are different (some are meant for generic web, some are meant just as images servers) I wanted to have a generic config, that will give maximum flexibility to the administrator. Such a config file can reside in a single location on the internal network, and be accessible from all servers through NFS.
Using option groups with acts_as_tree
When you have a model that acts_as_tree, you might want to use that to generate a nice select element with option groups.
In your view, simply use:
<%= f.select (:category_id, option_groups_from_collection_for_select(
:children, :name,
:id, :name
)) %>
and add a method to your model:
def self.top
find(:all, :conditions => [ 'parent_id IS NULL' ])
This generates HTML like this:
<select id="product_category_id" name="product[category_id]">
<optgroup lab
Simple outgoing mail server on Archlinux
It is very common to need an outgoing mail capabilities. If you are using a VPS for your web site, or just you want outgoing mails on your home machine to work natively. Automatic messages from cron, UPS management, or even your blog about new comments are too important to lose.
I am using ArchLinux, but this guide is probably good for other distributions as well. I could not find a simple and concise guide for setting this up - this post is aimed to fill that gap.
First let's install Postfix (why postfix?

How much mileage a week did these greats
(Steve Prefontaine and Gerry Lindgren) put on during high school? How long did they keep it up for? What were there XC 5k`s during there high school years? What was there training like in high school? I greatly appreciate if any of you could answer these questions. You can e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com

Those are 3 miles not 5ks you idiot
Everyone wishes to be someone, no one wishes to grow.
See "Running with the Champions", "Pre", and Lindgrens book...
|hotel california
no, those are 5 ks
I would like to Thank everyone who has responded to my post so far. I did want to ask does the book "Running With The Champions" have the High school weekly mileage and the times of Steve Prefontaine and Gerry Lindgren...??? I greatly appreciate the posts if theres more information please keep it coming.
If you can get a copy of Fred Wilt's "How They Train;Long Distances" both Lindgren and Prefontaine are profiled.
I WOULD LIKE TO SAY that I know for a fact Gerry Lindgren used to put in around 4 to 6 HOURS of running every day for over 8 years. He was not as naturally gifted as most runners (resting heart rate 105; Oxygen uptake 4.8lit) so doing more miles was necessary to catch up to the more gifted runners.
It should not take a rocket scientist to know that if you put in more miles than other runners you tend to get more out of your body, no matter how wimpy it is, than you would have gotten if you did not put in those miles. Prefontaine too, did a lot of milage.
When Pre was a wee lad he tried to make the Coos Bay softball team. In Coos Bay everything was softball in those days. When he got cut from the team he was rather dispondant. Gerry was visiting a friend in Reedsport, Oregon some 15 miles north of Coos Bay and their son had made the softball team Pre was cut from. He told Gerry about this dispondant kid in Coos Bay and told Gerry how to get to his house. Gerry ran down to Coos Bay and knocked on the door of Steve Prefontaine.
Pre himself opened the door and when he saw Gerry his eyes got really big; "Iknow you! You're Gerry Lindgren," He shouted. Pre came out the door, backing Gerry back off the steps and into the grass. Pre danced around Gerry yelling what a wimp he was. "You're just a wimp! I can beat you." Pre shouted. He stood behind Gerry, who stood silent and mesmerized by the boastful Pre, and compared their heighth to his own advantage. "I'm bigger than you. I'm gonna kick your ass."
With that Gerry turned and ran back to the highway and back up to Reedsport, not having said a single word to Pre. Pre told me afterwards that he ran back into the house, put on his shoes, and chased me back up the highway for several miles. I never looked back so I didn't see that.
|some clueless guy who runs
No way his resting heart rate was 105. That is double what most people are and way above the average.

I think he meant 65, which is more reasonable.
No, it was 105 before he started running which is what the OP meant.
|yikes man yikes
For any who don't know, the poster Gerry is most likely Gerry Lindgren himself. He does post here.
As for the high heart rate...i say it's possible. Gerry was said to stay away from athletics due to his weak lungs. I'm no medical doctor, but weak lungs mean less oxygen per breath, which means more breaths/more heart beats needed to supply necessary oxygen.
|a young person
I think this is the best post so far.
Tall tale, sure. Probably didn't happen, yeah. (Sorry I mentioned it out loud, Gerry.) But I like it. Kind of puts all Lindgren says in perspective, doesn't it? This is what he wants people to get. Whether he did 300 a week or 200 or even just 150--he wants you to believe you can be better than he was, he wants you to think he was just a wimp and you can do better than him. And he doesn't mind perjuring himself to do it. Nice to see he has a sense of humor about the whole thing.
It will surprise some people here to know that although you don't have to register to post here, you are under oath to tell the truth and can actually go to jail for contempt if you don't.
YEA! What is written here is the truth. Gerry was excused from PE. He really and truely was an untalented wimp if I ever saw one in the mirror.
And I do firmly believe that ANYONE can run better than Gerry or Pre did. What marks all outstanding runners is that they stepped out; did workouts others would not try; did not fear injury; didn't read books telling you how to run (there were no books back then); they just set a schedule and worked it.
Gerry decided that if he did all that long milage something good would come of it. Stupid way to think perhaps but his goal was to get EVERYONE to run. Gerry saw himself as lighting the way for others. The running revolution that followed was far beyond anything Gerry could even dream. To have even a tiny part in changing the lifestyle of so many people around the world was a dream come true for Gerry.
If you were in Gerry's shoes (smelly though they were), you would think all those miles were no big deal. ANYONE else with more ability could do better.
This is patently untrue. I hardly know where to begin when reading something like this.
Lots of people don't appear to have a talent for distance running until they put in the work, at which time it slowly emerges. ANYONE who puts in exagerrated amounts of training isn't going to turn into a Gerry Lindgren or a Steve Prefontaine.
And by the way, I don't believe that story about Lindgren running to Pre's house etc. etc. for a millisecond. This has never been related in all the decades and all the reams of words spilled about either runner. Nice try.
And by the way, I've heard from "Gerry's" coach that those stories of 210 miles were false. The dude worked hard, but not that hard. And not being "afraid" of injury doesn't prevent them from happening if you overwork.
By the way, I ran against both Pre and Lindgren -- not that that gives me any huge cred. But it does say that I followed both of their careers and have huge respect for both, despite both of their obvious personality flaws. (Although Pre was coming around late in his life -- well-documented fact.)

Oakland Athletics' skipper Bob Melvin was named the AL Manager of the Year by the Baseball Writers of America on Tuesday afternoon.
Melvin won by just eight points over Baltimore Orioles' manager Buck Showalter. He accumulated 16 first place votes and 12 second place votes, while Showalter had 12 first place votes and 16 second place votes.
Melvin is the 13th manager to win the award more than once, and the fifth to win it in both leagues. He was the NL Manager of the Year in 2007 when he was at the helm of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
No one can say that Melvin didn't deserve to win this award. His steady and veteran leadership on and off the field helped guide the A's in an unbelievable and unimaginable 2012 season. They trailed Texas in the division by 13 games in late June, but mounted a furious rally in the second half of the season, which culminated with them sweeping the Rangers in the final series of the season to win the AL West.
Many analysts and experts around the country had the A's losing 100 games in 2012 after they traded away three all-star pitchers (Trevor Cahill, Gio Gonzalez, and Andrew Bailey) during the off-season. Instead, they were just six wins away from a 100-win season.
Melvin had to lean on a starting rotation that boasted five rookies, and a lineup that consisted of misfits and minor league call-ups. But somehow, someway, he made it work.
What was one reason why Melvin deserved to be the AL Manger of the Year? CSN's Casey Pratt has a good explanation:
The A's offense thrived though the use of platoons at first base, second base, shortstop, DH, and catcher. They were able to do so because of Melvin's communication skills. Every player knew when he was going to be in the lineup, out of the lineup, and the reason why. After every game Melvin had his coaching staff let each player know what their role for the next day would be. He used every last player on the roster to win. He simply managed the A's to success.
Melvin was communicative, had his lineups posted early every day, openly answered any and all questions asked by the media, and even donated his office microwave to the beat writers so we could heat up our food in the press box.
He went above and beyond in every way imaginable.
Now I guess the only question left to ask is: why isn't there a microwave for the A's beat writers?

- Best restaurant in KnoxvilleOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/26/2014I visit Knoxville 6-7 times per year and always go to Cafe 4. Knoxville has a lot of great restaurants but Cafe 4 is my favorite. Great shrimp and grits , fried green tomatoes , Mac and cheese and decadent desserts. Friendly service and on a nice night eat outdoors and people watch on market square. I wish we had a cafe 4 in New York City ? If you haven't been you must go!!!Special Features:
- Fantastic mealOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/18/2014My wife and I picked Cafe 4 for dinner on our evening out. I had the maple pecan salmon, and she had the grilled chicken sandwich. Both were fantastic. For dessert, she selected the apple crisp, and I had the Jack & Coke cupcake -- easily the best cupcake I have ever had. The apple crisp was probably the least amazing thing we had. Our server was very knowledgeable and able to answer questions about the particular beer I asked about (the Lazy Magnolia pecan brown ale). We live about 3 hours from Knoxville, but I guarantee we will be back to Cafe 4 often.Special Features:
- Great spot - slow it down a littledinedevineVIPDined on 10/12/2014Visited here on a trip to see UT. Great ambiance, food was great - the truffle fries fantastic, though could have fed an army. My one complaint - it felt like they were trying for a fast food restaurant. Unless I'm in a hurry (when I might tell the waiter), I go out to enjoy myself. The pressure to order and then the appearance of food just minutes later wasn't conducive for a relaxed evening, and no, the place wasn't packed on a Sunday evening. I'd recommend the restaurant though.Special Features:
- Sunday family brunchOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 10/5/2014Make an Open Table res before going here or you'll face a long wait certain times of the week. My 5-person family enjoyed the Southern Scramble and Lobster flatbread at brunch. Fun people watching, too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MblaxmomDined on 10/3/2014We are from Baltimore and our son is a student at UT. We have enjoyed dinner at Cafe 4 every time we are in town. The lobster Mac and cheese is an all time favorite and we have always had a great experience!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very nicePerlVIPDined on 9/21/2014Everything was well cooked and executed. There is nothing here that is super creative or edgy but all was done well. I had the rib eye which was cooked exactly as ordered and nicely seasoned with a side of fairly bland broccoli and a great side of roasted brussel sprouts. My wife had the mac and cheese, which I tasted and was exceptional. She also had a side plate of vegetables which were good. Service was very good. Note - no license for hard liquor. Beer and wine only.
- Worth RepeatingceliatnDined on 9/16/2014Tasty food; wide variety of offerings, from small plates to full dinners. Excellent wine (especially Tuesday with half-price bottles) list. Superb service. Very noisySpecial Features:
- Love the Mac-n-CheeseXXXXVIPDined on 9/12/2014Best Mac-n-Cheese in the South. You really have to have it, diet or not.Special Features:
- Great!CalrDined on 9/6/2014We loved our dinner salads and other items! They didn't have the s'mores cake, as they change the desserts, but it was ok.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Oh those cupcakes!reokooDined on 9/6/2014I loved my pecan crusted tilapia. Some of the food choices were a bit high in fat, but I found plenty to eat. My son love the grilled cheese dunkers for his tomato soup. We all had cupcakes for dessert - to die for! yummy.Special Features:

- DisappointingSeymourEatMoreDined on 9/1/2014My wife and I met our son and his girlfriend, who are students at UT, at Cafe 4 for brunch on Labor Day. It had been several weeks since we had seen the kids and we were really looking forward to catching up with them over a nice meal. I was very pleased when our table was ready right when we arrived at 1:30PM. We received our drink order and placed our order food order right away. It took a full 30 minutes for our food to be brought out to the table and during our long wait nobody came over to apologize for the delay or even acknowledge the delay. When the food finally came out it was cold and we had NO silverware to eat with for 5 more minutes. Manager gave us free dessert, apologized and blamed the poor service on being busy that day.
- FoodFantasyDined on 8/22/2014Very loud on Friday night. We could barley hear our own group talk.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great downtown gem!!TNMENDined on 8/16/2014Great downtown restaurant. This is a must for good food and people watching. The patio is a lot of fun and food is even better. Clean and very inviting, very family friendly. Reservations highly recommended for special occasions and weekend dining.Special Features:
- Fabulous lunchLucyMcBrideDined on 8/9/2014My team and I were attending a meeting at the Knoxville Convention Center and I went online looking for a nice place to take our group to lunch. I wanted something with fresh, excellent food, good ambiance and walking distance from our event. Plus two of our group are gluten free, so a gluten free menu would be a plus. Cafe 4 exceeded all of these requirements and left us full, happy and pleased. Our server, Taylor, was sweet and excellent at her job. The food was amazing, especially the gluten free options. We had the Parmesan truffle fries for an appetizer and they were to die for! We wanted to lick the bowl! And we had fabulous mimosas too! Thank you for a wonderful dining experience!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always the bestMxkingDined on 8/7/2014As usual it was great. The salads and flatbreads are outstanding. Sean our server was excellent.

- Always excellentknoxnativeDined on 8/2/2014Cafe 4 never let's us down. My boyfriend and I love the menu options and the atmosphere is fun but still allows you to feel like the only people in the room. The food is consistently high quality and the prices are reasonable. This is one of my favorite spots in knoxville.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- First Time, Great Find!steakmasterDined on 7/15/2014This is just one of the many restaurants in downtown Knoxville on the the Square, but its menu is so unique from the others and that's what makes it one of my favorites that I will definitely return to in the future.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, good serviceknoxfoodieDined on 7/12/2014They lost our order and didn't realize it for about 45 minutes--but were nice enough to comp the entire meal without us asking. The food was great as usual. The salmon is excellent as are most of the expensive entrees, but the burgers and sandwiches are just as good. We started with the blue cheese chips which are wonderful. Wish they had a larger selection of draft beers.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very Good All AroundOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 7/12/2014Dined with 6 people and had a variety of burgers, cheese steak, shrimp and grits, calamari at the table.

- 6-Star FoodShabotDined on 7/11/2014Service was a bit haphazard. Ordered bread, entrees, and mac and cheese. Entrees came first, bread came a distant second, and mac and cheese didn't come out until we asked for it. Was a bit envious watching server after server walk past with bread and/or mac and cheese and none of it was ours. Food made up for any lapse in service; server threw in some free desserts to make things right. Out-of-town visitor but I'd consider Café 4 for every meal during the visit. Or carry-out.
- this is my second time at Cafe 4julieVIPDined on 7/5/2014we are from Denver. The two times we had visited Knoxville we have eaten at Cafe 4. I would definitely make this a tradition.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great!annaromeDined on 7/5/2014The food was amazing at Cafe 4. I had the baja fish tacos, amazing. My husband had an egg scramble, he said it was good. Our server was a but abrupt though. He, I assume on accident, grabbed the menus forcefully from my husband and would slam things on the table. We suspect he was new. It was a great atmosphere! We will definitely go back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- mass producedOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 7/4/2014Basically good, but too mass produced to earn high ratings. Some salad items were badly wilted and pork chop was excessively salted.
- The following 536 reviews are from the Cafe 4 reviews archive.
- Just as good second timeCatMatDined on 6/28/2014We enjoyed our second Cafe4 experience as well as the first. We were able to grab an outside table due to the threat of rain and enjoyed people watching on Market Square. We both ordered the Angus ribeye and it was very good ( mine at home are better but I say the same at Ruth's Chris and most places) We had reservations through OpenTable and were seated on arrival. The service was excellent even as the ice in our drinks melted quickly on the warm night.....someone always brought more. Two blocks from free State St parking and easy walk to the Tennessee Theater,Bijou,and in our case that night Regal Cinema. We'll go back.Special Features:
- everything was lovely!fungirlsnightDined on 6/26/2014Staff was courteous and friendly. Outside dining was very calm and pleasing. Macaroni is worth every penny.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Twice as niceDoinTheSquareDined on 6/19/2014Been here twice, both times for dinner. Made reservations online once, which was simple and straightforward. Not sure it was needed as there were plenty of open tables during our meal. Food was quite good as was the service. Menu is novel and interesting. Some in my party had the mac & cheese, which is a specialty. They weren't disappointed. Overall, very nice dining experience. Will definitely be back.Special Features:

Quadcopter Guided By Thought — Accurately
Unknown Lamer posted about a year ago | from the no-one-expected-the-hawking-quadcopter-attack dept.79
ananyo writes "A toy quadcopter can be steered through an obstacle course by thought alone. The aircraft's pilot operates it remotely using a cap of electrodes to detect brainwaves that are translated into commands. Ultimately, the developers of the mind-controlled copter hope to adapt their technology for directing artificial robotic limbs and other medical devices." From the paper (PDF) abstract: "... we report a novel experiment of BCI controlling a robotic quadcopter in three-dimensional (3D) physical space using noninvasive scalp electroencephalogram (EEG) in human subjects. We then quantify the performance of this system using metrics suitable for asynchronous BCI. Lastly, we examine the impact that the operation of a real world device has on subjects' control in comparison to a 2D virtual cursor task. Approach. ... Individual subjects were able to accurately acquire up to 90.5% of all valid targets presented while traveling at an average straight-line speed of 0.69 m s^(1)." This also appears to be the first time a Brain-Computer Interface was used to operate a flying device in 3D space. Also, there are several additional videos showing people operating the quadcopter.

Spillover: Animal Infections and the Next Human Pandemic by David Quammen is a fascinating look into the world of infectious diseases, specifically those that travel from animals to humans, otherwise known as zoonosis or spillover. Humankind is all too familiar with zoonoses in the form of influenza, Ebola, SARS and AIDS. In order to get a sense of the scope of interspecies diseases, keep in mind that about 60% of all infectious disease cross between animals and humans. According to Quammen's research, zoonosis has killed 30 million people since 1981. To investigate spillover viruses, he travels all over the world with virus hunters. He describes multiple mysterious outbreaks of disease, coming from a wide range of animals such as bats, gorillas and pigs. Quammen believes the next major pandemic will come from a nonhuman animal virus that will infect and spread into the human population.
David Quammen is a terrific science writer and he knows how to tell a good story. He is excited about his subject and takes a warm, personal approach with his readers. He makes this very complicated and frightening subject accessible and easy to understand. Spillover is thoroughly researched, includes an extensive bibliography and is chock-full of fascinating, engaging material. Although Quammen takes issue with Richard Preston's Hot Zone, readers who enjoyed Hot Zone will love Spillover.
Our genes can be likened to a story, and the gray, sticky paste of DNA is the language in which the story is written, according to Sam Kean, author of The Violinist's Thumb: And Other Lost Tales of Love, War, and Genius, as Written by Our Genetic Code. Kean relates the history and function of DNA and genes and their effect on collective and individual human development.
Watson, Crick, and Mendel are familiar names linked to DNA and gene theory but few people have heard of Thomas Hunt Morgan and his assistant, ladies' man Calvin Bridges, or Catholic Sister Miriam Michael Stimson. Kean fleshes out years of tedious research undertaken by lesser-known scientists that paved the way for the award-winning discoveries. RNA, DNA palindromes, Y chromosomes, and mitochondria—all hard science terms that could prove overwhelming—are balanced by Kean with humor and relatable anecdotes. DNA injury and resiliency is illustrated by the case of Tsutomu Yamaguchi, a man unfortunate enough to be exposed to the bomb detonation in Hiroshima, who then travelled to Nagasaki in time to be blasted again.
The Violinist's Thumb refers to virtuoso Niccolo Paganini, whose musical gifts were, in part, due to a genetic error inhibiting his body's ability to produce collagen; his disease allowed him to stretch his hands to perform amazing violin feats. Unfortunately it also contributed to his poor health and early demise. Kean explains how cat hoarding behavior can be linked to careless litter box cleaning, and cautions the reader to avoid eating a polar bear's liver should you find yourself stranded at the North Pole. The book ends by raising thorny questions about cloning and the implications of analyzing a single person's genome. Readers who enjoy popular science writing, such as Mary Roach's Stiff, will find a winner in The Violinist's Thumb.
Seattle wildlife scientist John Marzluff partners with illustrator-naturalist Tony Angell to create Gifts of the Crow: How Perception, Emotion, and Thought Allow Smart Birds to Behave Like Humans. While absorbing and fascinating, this is not the usual natural history of another species that shares our environment. Instead, the authors take an approach that delves deep into the neurological similarities between crows and humans, and look at numerous studies of the birds' behavior that show how our noisy neighbors have adapted to our lives.
These birds share many characteristics of humans. In a chapter that discusses the emotional lives of crows and ravens, anecdotes describe these birds' approaches to injured comrades, and particularly their grieving rituals. While crows often eat the dead of other species, they rarely if ever even touch their own, but instead come close and linger in a sort of respect-paying process. Also considered in great detail is the way that crows approach play. Scientists consider species that have incorporated play into their lives as highly advanced. The "social brain network" of these evolved mammals and birds is shown to be complex, and indicates multifaceted consideration of decision and realization. Crows have been observed playing "ring-around-the-rosy" with themselves and with unwitting humans who suddenly realize they too are part of the bird's game.
Humans and crows have been watching each other for generations: cultures that laud crows as our forebears are plentiful worldwide, from India, to the American Southwest, and most famously the Canadian Pacific coast. While we have learned much about crows and their relatives through scientific and neurological study, there is still much more to understand. Our mutual ecologies and simultaneous evolution will continue to shape both our species moving forward.
Imagine waking up in the middle of the night on the floor, disoriented, clutching your leg in pain. How did you get there? Why aren't you still asleep in bed? And what happened to your leg? After actually living through this frightening sleepwalking scenario, David K. Randall, a journalist for Reuters, decided to investigate his personal nightmare, determined to find out how he could prevent it from happening again. His book, Dreamland: Adventures in the Strange Science of Sleep, leads us into the mysterious and occasionally bizarre corners of neurobiology, psychology, and sociology that deal with how and why we sleep.
Each chapter in this fascinating book deals with a different sleep conundrum, from sleep exhaustion in the military to the effect of artificial light on circadian rhythms to whether you can commit murder while sleeping. Over the course of the book a deceptively simple formula emerges—what you do while you are awake affects your sleep, and how you sleep affects your mind and body while you are awake. Intriguing tidbits of information sneak their way into the pages with such frequency that the reader marvels at how little she seems to know about such a vital bodily function.
Though not a scientist himself, Randall's forays into the realm of sleep science are well backed by an abundance of research, as evinced by the lengthy bibliography he includes at the back of the book. His prose remains accessible, captivating, and often humorous while still keeping science at its core. Dreamland provides an enigmatic taste of the often unsolved mysteries of sleep science that is sure to satisfy both the curious and the casual reader.
Frank Partnoy's Wait: the Art and Science of Delay is a fascinating look into the various ways decisions are made. According to the author, the crux of delay is not only in deciding what we should do or how it should be done, but as importantly, when. This provides the thesis of this groundbreaking look into the timing of our decisions.
Partnoy frames the studies by first looking at decisions that must be made in a split-second, and as the book goes on, he looks at decisions that take longer and longer to make--some that could be termed procrastinations. Starting with athletes who must perform in what he calls "superfast sports", the author breaks down the manner in which baseball and tennis players must react to a pitch or serve. These decisions are made in a matter of milliseconds. As fast as a tennis serve is hit, the returner's preconscious skills kick in, combining visual and muscle acuity. The player who is able to wait the longest and still effectively return the serve has the greatest chance of success.
The decision-making of animals is also discussed. It was long thought that only humans could make future decisions. But recent studies have shown that many animals, including dogs, pigeons, monkeys, and rats have all shown that considering the future is within their abilities. Retaining a small bit of food knowing that they can trade it in for more in the future, storing food where it will be found later, and building tools not instantly needed are examples of how animals are aware of delay, and use it to their benefit. Wait is a thought-provoking yet accessible read, and is certain to be of interest to fans of Malcolm Gladwell's Blink and Dan Kahneman's Thinking, Fast and Slow.
Have you ever wondered how your email travels all the way from your computer to your mother's laptop half way across the country in a few milliseconds? Or how a sports fan with a smartphone in LA can know the outcome of the World Cup in Spain moments before the live TV broadcast? Andrew Blum, author of Tubes: a Journey to the Center of the Internet, explores how the Internet works as a physical system, full of buried connections, rivers of wires, humming servers, and fiber optic transoceanic cables.
Blum journeys on a pilgrimage to the Internet's most important data centers and information hubs in an effort to find 'pieces of the Internet', and to view the Internet as both a virtual and physical place. Along the way, he meets with many of the Internet's unsung heroes and follows his nose to ferret out just where all our data goes when we press 'send'. Through his surprisingly personal trek across the world in search of the Internet, Blum grapples with conflicting definitions and perceptions of the Internet that in the end help illuminate its many facets. With the emergence of cloud storage and wireless everything, it's refreshing and relieving to realize that even something as amorphous as the Internet is grounded in the physical, real world.
A little bit history, a little bit philosophy, a little bit spiritual, Tubes is great for readers who are curious about the behind the scenes action of the largest connected interface in the world. Fans of James Gleick's The Information: a History, a Theory, a Flood and Tim Wu's The Master Switch will certainly enjoy this thought-provoking new title.

Problem when connect my led monitor with hdmi
hello i just bought LG IPS234 LED monitor and today bought an hdmi cable. When I connect my graphics card to my monitor via the HDMI cable, the screen is not taken up completely, i.e: there is a black border around the picture which is displayed on the monitor. I connected the monitor in VGA mode to the graphics card and everything works just fine (no borders etc...). I would really like to connect my monitor in HDMI but won't do so if it means sacrificing 1 cm all round the screen.
can someone help me ? i have read somewhere that i need to enable overscan , but cant find it anywhere..

A political commentator say regardless of whether the rumoured letter gathering signatures to oust David Shearer exists, a serious challenge for the Labour Party leadership is underway.
Chris Trotter says the move against Mr Shearer is very real and what's happening right now is the striking of backroom deals and gathering of numbers.
"These are destabilising rumours and this will just continue, this is the constant pressure now building against the leader.
"And if you look back at past coups, you see this process unfolding."

I'm a cool guy who loves sci-fi, specifically Star Wars, Star Trek and Stargate. (I wonder if people will ever start using things that don't start with 'star'?) I'm pretty good at modding games like Star Wars Empire at War and really like adding my own custom ships and content to an old Star Trek game called Starfleet Command III.
No blog entries have been posted here. Boring yes, but as confucius says - if you have nothing good to say, why say anything at all? Check back later, perhaps something exciting will pop-up and be worth blogging about, like season 3 of the teletubbies.
Speak your mind, rant about games, mods and the development scene, it's simple and who knows maybe someone will read it and agree. It will feel right!

The main problem with girls relying on shapewear to feel
good about their appearances is that they're not confident with their own
bodies. Even skinny girls feel like any curve is taboo, and they're developing
an unhealthy image of themselves. What's worse is that the tight-fitting
spandex is teaching them to ignore pain in order to look better. And if they
don't mind that pain of being seriously sucked in, then what's next?
When teens are ignoring the pain of shapewear, they're
actually ignoring what could be a serious problem. Doctors have seen cases of
gastrointestinal problems, nerve damage and bladder infections all caused by
wearing shapewear. The problem is that the spandex is just too tight, and it's
squeezing their internal organs and nerves. So the bottom line? Skip the Spanx,
spend some time in front of the mirror embracing the gorgeousness of your bod,
imperfections and all, and show Y-O-U a whole lotta love.

Questions about issues in the news for students 13 and older.
When you get to be a certain age, growing older isn't something you necessarily want to happen — it just happens. But 80 today for many people isn't the same 80 as it used to be. Some 80-year-olds are still traveling around the world and riding elephants.
What do you want to be doing when you're 80?
In "This Is What 80 Looks Like," Gail Collins writes about the American feminist Gloria Steinem turning 80:

Quality Systems
Upcoming Relevant Conferences/Meetings
- FDA and Parenteral Drug Association (PDA) Joint Regulatory Conference, September 8-10, 2014, Washington, D.C. Meeting Information
Quality Systems Inspections
FDA's routine surveillance inspections determine whether a site's Quality System is operating in a state of control. Inspections cover multiple systems (see below compliance program). All inspections audit the overall quality assurance system to determine if it is functioning well. This aspect includes evaluating if responsible managers are notified of, and respond to, emerging quality problems, process control issues, or any new stresses on the system that may lead to defective medicines.
The US, EU, and Japan have adopted ICH Q10 "Pharmaceutical Quality Systems," a guidance that creates a harmonized system based in GMPs and ISO. The PQS "assures that the desired product quality is routinely met, suitable process performance is achieved, the set of controls are appropriate, improvement opportunities are identified and evaluated, and the body of knowledge is continually expanded." FDA also issued guidance in 2006 that provides further information on quality systems.
Joint FDA/EMA/PDMA/PDA/ISPE Training on ICH Q10 Pharmaceutical Quality Systems
ICH Q10 Training has been conducted in 2011 and 2012 in US, Europe, and Japan. The training provides an introduction to ICH Q10 principles, terminology, and implementation approaches. Regulators from all three regions participated and discussed quality systems expectations. Industry from the three regions also participated, and provided practical case studies. Future training is also planned outside the ICH regions. See this link for agendas and presentations.
PDA ICH Q10 Workshop: Responsibilities of Executive Management (Operations and Quality) Sept 2012
With a common goal to advance pharmaceutical quality systems (PQS), FDA and the industry are holding workshops exploring how to build an effective PQS to ensure an ongoing state of control. The first ICH Q10 workshop focused on the role of Executive Management to establish the right environment to enable daily quality assurance. Companies shared how a PQS that executes good science and effectively manages risk throughout the lifecycle will achieve sustainable compliance and consistent quality.
