As I wandered through my woodland garden I noticed that the opening heads of some of our ferns looked like little people. I had hoped to capture a whole "family" but I couldn't get them all in focus, so I decided to give Fern Man his very own profile portrait!

I used Topaz Adjust and Nik Viveza for to add clarity and contrast, plus a touch of Nik Color Efex Pro 4 Darken/Lighten Center to bring out his "profile". I finished with Aquarius from Flypaper Textures and Tableaux Pastoral from French Kiss Textures.

Users of Motorola's Atrix 2 who have been yearning for a taste of Ice Cream Sandwich on their devices have something to be excited about today – earlier this morning, an official ICS OTA update was leaked, or rather discovered using CheeseCake, a tool that essentially allows individuals to check specialized Moto servers for updates, meaning no company personnel need be involved in the leak. Here's a quick explanation from our contact Manoj:
With everyone anticipating the introduction of fabled CM10 builds, the CyanogenMod team is still hard at work bringing official CM9 support to even more devices. The latest additions to the list are the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (p3100, 3110, and 3113) and Tab 2 10.1 (p5100, 5110, 5113), each with their own nightlies ready for download and flashing.
It's worth noting, of course, that since these devices are just receiving their first nightlies, you may run into a bug here or there.
It may have taken over a month longer than the international version, but HTC has finally released the kernel source code for T-Mobile's version of the One S. HTC has offered no explanation for why the US model's source code was delayed for so long, but perhaps this means that the AT&T One X will see its kernel source released at some point.
They also released the kernel source for the EVO 4G LTE.
Following yesterday's Jelly Bean AOSP invasion, the HSPA+ Galaxy Nexus is now receiving the release build 4.1.1 (JRO03C) of Jelly Bean. That's indeed great news, but since the rollout is usually staggered, not all phones are allowed to receive it the second it's out there. If you're rooted or have an unlocked bootloader, why not just bypass the line and flash the update manually? I just did, and it took only a few minutes.
The latest version of the Play Store is no longer 3.7.11 - say hello to v3.7.13. I haven't found anything different from 3.7.11 just yet - it likely only contains bug fixes. There's no reason to lag behind, however, so if you're running a Play Store with a version lower than 3.7.13, jump right to the download mirrors below. Before you do that, let me point out a few things.
Upon playing with the Store further, I did discover a new feature compared to v3.5.19 that I didn't mention last time - inline app links in search suggestions.
Well, we now have yet another reason to envy Google I/O attendees - a signed copy of the official Jelly Bean build has just been released on the 'nets, but it seems to only be working on the 'takju' (GSM) Galaxy Nexuses given out at I/O 2012 (or at least those GNs with the IMM30D firmware).
You can grab it for yourself right here, if you're interested in what's inside the 156MB ZIP.
Google has just published the fully flashable image for the 4.0.4 update to the Verizon Galaxy Nexus (mysid). This allows users who either have been unable to receive the OTA due to using a custom ROM, or simply haven't updated, to flash their devices with a complete OS image, as opposed to using an incremental update file.
This will erase all of your data, so if you do flash it, be sure to back up your stuff.
HTC has given developers another treat today, in the form of kernel source code for the HTC One S. HTC's Dev Center has the downloads available, categorized by carrier and region. Unfortunately, the US variant on T-Mobile is conspicuously absent from the list. Previously, when HTC released the kernel source for the One X, the AT&T version was similarly missing and remains so to this day.
HTC hasn't explained why the US models are being left off the list, though it isn't difficult to imagine that the US carriers are simply more fussy than operators elsewhere in the world.
Verizon Galaxy Nexus users, you finally have the Android 4.0.4 OTA update coming your way. You were one of the first to own a Galaxy Nexus (see our detailed review) and experience Ice Cream Sandwich, and yet now you're one of the last to receive updates (after GSM and Sprint LTE). Yup, the previous update, ICL53F, was in... December of last year. I know how bitter it makes you, and I don't really have excuses on Verizon's behalf, so let's just get down to business.

Actually I posted here because it seems that a dev is actively monitoring it.
One of my points (and the entire set of ideas it is a part of) solves the problem, if the rate of fire of mines is 1 every 5 minutes and that mine is much more dangerous than the screen spam we have now, they would be more useful and more interesting.

Baghdad (AP) A spokesman says Iraq's presidential council has approved the security pact with the United States.
That's the final step for the agreement to replace a U.N. mandate that expires on Dec. 31. The deal sets out a three-year timeframe for a full withdrawal of U.S. Troops.
The spokesman for the Presidential Council Nasser Al-Ani tells the Associated Press that the agreement was signed Thursday by President Jalal Talabani and his two deputies.
The Iraqi Parliament approved the deal last month but with the caveat that it should go before voters in a referendum to be held by July 30.

Theater Review: 'Zombie Town: A Documentary Play'
Date: October 17, 2012
by: Paula Atwell | Theater Critic
Consider it an appetizer to your Halloween festivities, served up by Backstage at The Players. A Florida premiere, "Zombie Town: a Documentary Play" fits perfectly in the intimate, tattered-black-curtain style minimalist space, which was conceived to promote edgier, contemporary works.
Written by bay area playwright Tim Bauer, the play is more accurately called a mockumentary in that it parodies eyewitness reports popular on television and some theatrical events. The main conceit is that the "Catharsis Theatre Collective," from San Francisco, arrive in the town of Harwood, Texas, which has recently survived a horrific zombie attack, in order to interview the survivors and "bring these people the healing that can only come from theater." Clearly, the piece derives most of its comedy from sardonic remarks, taking shots at hokey Texans and Frisco intellectuals in equal measure. The farcical elements worked best for me, however, and my favorite bit was the delightfully ludicrous "Undead Chorus Line" at the end. More dancing zombies please!
Tightly directed by Linda MacCluggage, the first act consists mainly of interviews with various townspeople. Although much of the dialogue is cleverly, if subtly, written, the result is somewhat slow-going. Pulling off this type of past-tense narrative satire is demanding and requires performers who are comically gifted in their own right. Fortunately for the playwright, this was supplied in abundance by the cast.
Wearing a loud plaid jacket, Adam Garrison kick-starts the introductions as Mayor Anson. After reference to the town's graveyard, known as Boca del Inferno (Hell Mouth), Chuck Conlon takes over as the grave-digger who muses "Did I sleep dig?" over the mysteriously open graves. All five cast members play multiple roles believably as they become various townspeople, as well as the members of the "Collective."
The second act moves more quickly, with three characters trapped in an old farmhouse by hordes of somnolent zombies. Always funny, Christine Alexander (who also portrays a thick-skinned tavern owner) plays Annie Dalton, a superficial girlie-girl who nevertheless is the first to note that zombies are slow. Ren Pearson is energetic as a Led Zeppelin-loving hyperactive rock and roller. A presumably intelligent accountant is well-played by David Tyler Murrell.
'Zombie Town: A Documentary Play'
When: 8 p.m. Oct. 18 to 20; 2 p.m. Oct. 21
Where: Backstage at The Players, 838 N. Tamiami Trail
Tickets: $15; Oct. 19 college special with student i.d., $10

The Walkyverse is the setting of four WebComic series by David Willis:
* ''[[http://www.itswalky.com/d/19970908.html Roomies!]]'', ''[[http://www.itswalky.com It's Walky!]]'', and ''[[http://www.itswalky.com Joyce and Walky!]]'', which [[Webcomic/RoomiesItsWalkyJoyceAndWalky share a page due to the interconnected nature of their narratives]], and
* ''[[http://www.shortpacked.com Shortpacked!]]'' ([[Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}} page here]]), a spin-off comic from ''It's Walky!'' which is largely self-contained.
Outside the Walkyverse is the Dumbiverse, containing only ''[[http://www.dumbingofage.com/ Dumbing of Age]]'' ([[DumbingOfAge page here]]), an UltimateUniverse AlternateContinuity combining characters and elements from all four (but none of the science fiction elements so far).
Although not quite to the same all-encompassing degree as ''StElsewhere'', the Walkyverse also includes (de facto at any rate) a number of other comics largely written by friends of Willis, including (but not necessarily limited to) ''Webcomic/{{Melonpool}}'', ''Webcomic/{{Fans}}'', ''SomethingPositive'', "QueenOfWands" ,''GirlsWithSlingshots'', ''Webcomic/AllNewIssues'', ''Webcomic/{{Multiplex}}'', ''QuestionableContent'', ''DieselSweeties'', ''PennyAndAggie'', and ''ScaryGoRound''.
!!Tropes that apply to the Walkyverse as a whole:
* AuthorAvatar: Every series has one:

Before the intervention on March 19, 2003, I disturbed some colleagues and friends by publicly opposing intervention in what came to be called Iraq II. I had supported the first intervention in Iraq, after the Kuwaitis requested our assistance against an unjust aggressor named Saddam Hussein. However, in light of the teaching of the Catholic Church, and based upon my own efforts to inform my conscience by it, I opposed the Second Iraq War. I even contributed a chapter to a book dedicated to such opposition.

WASHINGTON, DC (Catholic Online) - Tuesday, March 19, 2013 brought the joyous celebration of the installation of Pope Francis in Rome. Like many Christians who write on daily news events from a perspective of faith, I was delighted to have such a joyous occasion to write about.
However, March 19, 2013 brought another historic event to mind. An event which must be seriously reconsidered - and from which we must learn the lessons which desperately need to be learned. It marked the tenth anniversary of the beginning of the US intervention in Iraq referred to as the Second Iraq War. Fifty six people were killed in a series of deadly bombings in Baghdad and beyond. The violence and the consequences of the intervention ten years ago continue.
Reports filled the media commemorating the ten year Anniversary of the Second Iraqi conflict. One of them, entitled People turned on Christians': Persecuted Iraqi minority reflects on life after Saddam touched upon one of the underreported stories of the Iraq War, the dramatic increase in the persecution of Christians in Iraq since the US intervention ten years ago. I, along with others at Catholic Online have written numerous articles seeking to call attention to our persecuted Christian brethren in Iraq. Their plight has grown worse since the intervention on March 19, 2003.
Before the intervention on March 19, 2003, I disturbed some colleagues and friends by publicly opposing intervention in what came to be called Iraq II. I had supported the first intervention in Iraq, after the Kuwaitis requested our assistance against an unjust aggressor named Saddam Hussein. However, in light of the teaching of the Catholic Church, and based upon my own efforts to inform my conscience by it, I opposed the Second Iraq War. I even contributed a chapter to a book dedicated to such opposition.
I concluded back then that the decision to engage in what was called a pre-emptive war with Iraq failed to meet the conditions, commonly referred to as the Just War theory, summarized in the Catechism of the Catholic Church (�2309):
"the damage inflicted by the aggressor on the nation or community of nations must be lasting, grave, and certain; all other means of putting an end to it must have been shown to be impractical or ineffective; there must be serious prospects of success; the use of arms must not produce evils and disorders graver than the evil to be eliminated."
"The power of modern means of destruction weighs very heavily in evaluating this condition.These are the traditional elements enumerated in what is called the "just war" doctrine. The evaluation of these conditions for moral legitimacy belongs to the prudential judgment of those who have responsibility for the common good."
I also came to the conclusion that the very notion of a pre-emptive war was antithetical to this analysis. The determination as to whether any war can be justified is rooted in the broader understanding of self defense. The entry of the United States into Iraq on March 19, 2003 was not an act of self defense. Neither was it a legitimate response to the horror unleashed against our Nation on September 11, 2001.
In spite of what some sincere Catholics - whom I respected - sought to say back then, the leaders of the Catholic Church were overwhelming in their unified opposition to beginning the Second Iraq war. They were unanimous in their conviction that no attack was imminent, and, as a result, war was far from justifiable.
Deep reservations were raised by numerous Bishops' Councils; then Cardinal Ratzinger, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith; Cardinal Sodano, Vatican Secretary of State; Cardinal Martino, President of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace; and most ardently by Blessed John Paul II, the Holy Father back then, who clearly stated that not only was war a human failure but that specific war was unjustified.
After the intervention, as time progressed, my opposition became moot. The War had become such a debacle and the brave men and women of our heroic Armed Forces deserved our unflagging support. Those who initially supported the second Iraq war and those who opposed it, agreed that we could not abandon the Iraqi people in their great hour of need. The Holy See expressed its continuing concern for the people of Iraq after the intervention.
However, looking back, ten years later, we need to seriously examine the Second Iraq War in order to learn its lessons. On the day of the tenth anniversary Brown University released the results of its Cost of War Project. As we pause and consider the anniversary, we need to be aware of some of these startling statistics:
$2.2 trillion - The cost of the Iraq War, including cost related to caring for veterans. Initial estimates were $50-60 billion.
$500 billion - The cost of caring for Iraq War veterans through 2053.
134,000 - The number of Iraqi civilians who died of direct war violence. That number is about 70 percent of total war deaths.
4,488 - The number of U.S. service members killed in Iraq.
3,400 - The number of U.S. contractors killed in Iraq.
231 - The number of journalists killed in Iraq. 62 humanitarian aid workers have also died.
$60 billion - The amount spent, so far, on reconstruction in Iraq.
2.8 million - People displaced from their homes by Iraq War.
13,500 - Contractors, most serving as security personnel, still in Iraq
2.5 million - The number of U.S. service people serving in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2001. Most have served more than one tour.
106,000 - The number of U.S. service members wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan
750,000 - Disability claims approved by the Veterans Administration related to the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
38 - The number per 100,000 of all Iraq and Afghanistan veterans using VA health care that have committed suicide, compared with 11.5 deaths per 100,000 for the general public.

Plano Ammo Box was exactly what I needed to store ammo. Rural King had the best price by anywhere from $5 to $10 and the best shipping. Bought enough to last me awhile and will buy from Rural King again.

Hair braided and decorated with a white gardenia, wicker basket hooked over her left arm, the Oaxaca Trique vendor turned away from the appliance store window through which she'd seen a telecast of the Zapatista "Silent March" and announced, "Caminan con orgullo" ("They walk proudly.")
I nodded agreement. Their appearance on the twenty-first of December vibrated throughout Mexico. Forty thousand strong, clad in jeans and jackets, many with ski masks, they demonstrated strength and discipline as well as pride. Without a word (or only a few from the near legendary Subcomandante Marcos) they disproved years of government propaganda about their diminishing resolution, their diminishing health, their diminishing ability to govern. They looked hearty, strong, determined.
They looked happy as well.
These were not the Zapatistas of the 1994 uprising. The majority were under thirty-five; many were teenagers. They had grown up in the communally governed caracoles, been educated there, imbued Zapatista values. Despite constant paramilitary harassment, despite being isolated from mainstream Mexico, they had done more than scrabble for survival: They had created a lifestyle, a community, dependent on no one but themselves. No barricading of highways, no pounding on bureaucrats' doors and pleading for food, for medicines, for jobs. Many of those looking on, both in Chiapas and on television, did so with envy. In a country where over fifty million live in poverty these Zapatistas had created a beautiful little island all their own.
Not that their lives have been easy. According to OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) standards they fall into the "living in extreme poverty" category. Money is scarce. Their lives include few of what more prosperous societies deem necessary to meet basic needs.
El Sup—Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos—couldn't remain silent for long. In his communiqué to the world—particularly to the "bad government" of newly elected Enrique Peña Nieto's Mexico—he challenged:
"They (the bad governments) don't need us in order to fail.
"We don't need them in order to survive."
And he promised that the Zapatistas would announce a series of initiatives to reassert their campaigns to forge better governments and better lives for what they call "the original peoples of Mexico and the Western Hemisphere".

A convergence of factoids seems to point to something inevitable: the future of news delivery is on wireless devices, and those devices will be smartphones, much more than e-readers.
First, here's data about the ubiquity of wireless as of the end of 2008, which is already nearly half a year ago, all from CTIA, "The Wireless Association" (what the initial actually stand for, I can't figure out) (via Amy Gahran at Poynter):
— The U.S. has 270.3 million wireless subscribers, which is the equivalent of 87 percent of the entire population. At the end of 2005 the penetration was just 69 percent. It looks like only centenarians and some of the sub-teen population are still cellphone-less.
— 17.5 percent of households are wireless-only and have no "land line" (one of those retro-formations, like "analog watch"). This is more than double the 2005 level of 8.4 percent.
— In 2008, we used our wireless phones for 2.2 trillion minutes, which is almost 50 percent more than during 2005.
— We sent 1 trillion SMS messages during 2008, which more than 10 times the 2005 level of 81 billion.
Now, at the cutting edge of all these wireless users are the smart-phone owners, and thanks to a study from gravitytank, we have some insights into them as well:
Finally, we have a report on Beet.TV that the New York Times in April served up 60 million mobile views, twice the level of April 2008. Further in Beet's story:
As far as news is concerned, with this kind of momentum for mobile delivery, the race (if there ever was one) between smartphones and e-readers may well be over. Sure, e-paper is a superior interface, but smartphones win, because they can do 10, 20 or 100 things besides letting you read black-and-white print.
All this Web access by smartphone is likely to overtake Web viewing via broadband. U. S. households with computers have leveled off at about 80 percent. Most of those of internet access, most internet access is now broadband, but still, less than 70 percent of households are hooked up with broadband, versus the above-cited 87 percent of all individuals with cell phones.
One implication of the small screen, when it comes to news: we may be less inclined to work hard for news by searching, surfing and visiting aggregators, and more inclined to let the news come to us, by whatever means. The challenge, then, for publishers, may be to create apps that deliver custom-tailored news to fit preferences and interests of phone users. As a start, they should follow Amy Gahran's suggestions on checking how mobile-friendly their current sites are.

The prime minister of Tuvalu is pleading for international help as the tiny island nation in the Pacific Ocean deals with a crippling drought.
Each household on the island is being forced to survive on just two buckets (40 litres) of fresh water a day.
The amount of clean water being produced for residents to drink has now doubled after New Zealand sent over a portable desalinisation unit.
Two years ago, the United Nations had set up a multi-billion dollar fund to help small countries deal with problems associated with climate change and rising sea levels. The Tuvaluan government is now trying to access these funds to help find a long-term solution to its current crisis.
So far there have been no outbreaks of disease, but the International Red Cross is concerned that situation may not last.
Weather forecasters are not predicting any rain until January.
Al Jazeera's Belinda Henley reports from Tuvalu.

Small Board: Bigger Isn't Always Better

Interview: Ronald Haddock, Booz & Co.
Zurich-based partner and vice president at Booz & Co., Ronald Haddock, talks about why the future of the global economy might not rest in the East after all.
January 10, 2011 4:15 by Jay Akasie
China has no rule of law and its markets have no transparency. It has a miserable human rights record. What can it learn from Western economies and countries as it emerges on the world stage?
China, in fact, has many laws on the books and is increasingly enforcing them. Yet the general observation that there are significant gaps in laws and the enforcement of these is valid.
Every country has a starting point from which advancement and development ultimately get launched. In other words, changes in rule of law and human rights can only happen by understanding the context that led to the status quo, with the view that incremental change is more likely to be successful than sudden, fundamental change. I'm arguing for a gradual approach that ensures stability.
What China can and should learn from countries that are more developed is how to balance the need for stability with the power of its people's creative capacity. Creativity in multiple dimensions of social and economic life – including the ability to express their hopes, dreams, and desires – should contribute to policy choices made by leaders. In other words, China should actively engage its citizens in creating a more harmonious and balanced society, particularly by addressing the poverty issue and huge imbalances between the haves and have-nots.
In light of where China has come from and where it is today, its progress across multiple dimensions of social and economic life has been remarkable. Yet, as China's citizens become wealthier, it will be important to strike a suitable balance that allows the citizenry greater participation in non-economic activities (social and political life). If you look at China closely, this is already happening. The official press is more open: It increasingly publishes stories about natural catastrophes, as well as about corruption in the government and the failings of public institutions. In this regard, the China of today is very different from the China of even 10 years ago.
What China can learn from the West is how institutions that support social progress have evolved over time and how these have supported social progress. Media can play a central role in pointing out the failings of government and thereby crystallize debates and policy discussions to address shortcomings, as it has in Western Europe. Although this process may be uncomfortable, given the Chinese government's current relationship with the media, officials could accelerate it by allowing more media coverage of areas in which the government itself is focusing on reform. For example, how efficient are the back offices of Chinese banks? This is not politically sensitive per se, but shining the spotlight on inefficiencies might spur more activity to address them.
In a similar fashion, China allowed foreign entry into key sectors as a way of stimulating change in state-owned enterprises that either had to change quickly, or were eroded or eliminated by more efficient private companies. Look at what happened in the auto sector: It's unlikely China would have domestic players today capable of competing on the global stage if they had not learned how to compete in China against world-class companies such as GM and VW.

As you said, the issue is already fixed in the latest version. I searched for the ticket that led to the fix (in hopes of providing info for an override), but couldn't locate one and suspect it was part of a bigger issue that was resolved.
6 Dec 2013 12:01 AM #3
I didn't say that the issue is resolved in the latest version! If it is that's good news but I didn't know that! And I surely can't approve or disapprove it.

Do you know if the GPLv3 version of 4.2.2 will be available for download any time soon? Right now it's only available to Sencha Support subscribers!

4.2.2 is a support-only release, as will 4.2.3 be. The next GPL release is likely to be 5.0 early next year.
Success! Looks like we've fixed this one. According to our records the fix was applied for a bug in our system in a recent build.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...
