You might say Nu Cafe is leading a double life. During the day, it's a classic neighborhood hangout, serving up simple, fresh wraps and sandwiches alongside a variety of smoothies and juices and espresso and coffee drinks. By night, it transforms into a hipper, slightly more sophisticated version of itself, a place where guests can come to mingle, not over their laptops, but around shared tapas plates, cured meat and cheese boards, and a selection of wine and craft beers. But regardless of the time of day, a few things remain the same: the vibe is always laid-back and friendly, the food is always crafted using fresh, wholesome ingredients, and the Wi-Fi is always free. And, adding to the community-oriented vibe, the cafes also host regular recurring events, including live piano players, painting parties, and chess groups.
Helmed by experienced chefs Caitlin Adler and Christopher Vuich, Sweet Bites tantalizes taste buds with delectable baked goods, coffee, and lunchtime eats. While sitting in the cozy, wood-beamed dining room, diners can ogle paintings by local artists as they choose a joy-inducing indulgence from the bakery's breakfast and lunch menu or fully stocked dessert counter. Delve into the fresh-baked goodness of mini or regular-size cupcakes ($2.50–$3.50), moisten a mouth with an individual quiche ($7), or abandon a boring nine-to-five for a whirlwind romance with a donut muffin ($1.95). Bite into layers of ham, mortadella, salami, capicolla, muenster cheese, and spicy olive and roasted pepper relish with a muffaletta sandwich ($9). Flavorful salads such as the cobb ($12), caesar ($8), or the crispy duck, sprinkled with herb goat cheese, roasted peppers, sweet 'n' spicy nuts, and a lemon vinaigrette ($15) are sure to enchant, while the toasted tuscan bread bruschetta, spread with mascarpone cheese, fresh fruit, and honey, offers sucrose-rich portions to please sugar-starved palates ($8). Sweet Bites is a kid-friendly eatery, so pintsize companions can be treated to a grilled-cheese sandwich ($6) or pizza bagel ($6), while their fully developed wardens recharge with a cup of Java Tree fair trade coffee or Two Leaves and a Bud organic tea.
Eric's LaPatisserie Café sates the morning and afternoon eat reflexes with fresh-baked, oven-hot pastries and gourmet stuffed sandwiches and paninis. Fresh croissants emerge from steaming hot ovens ($3), and toasted bagels remain crisp even while bearing gobs of the eatery's famous labor-inducing cream cheese ($2). Afternoon appetites, meanwhile, can be sated with a grilled herb-chicken sandwich ($6.25) or a shrimp-and-seafood salad ($5.50).
The sucrose stylists at Sweet Creations bake a bevy of hand-held and decadent sweet treats as well as specialty cakes in a menagerie of flavors and fillings. Give sweet teeth something to brag about at the dental arcade with a sampling of small and large cupcakes ($1.25; $1.75), brownies ($1.95), or plates of half-dozen cookies ($4). Ice-cream-enriched treats are readily available, including brownies à la mode ($3.95) and sundaes ($4.95), and specialty cakes ($40+) come blanketed with house-made buttercream icing or marshmallow fondant and adorned with soccer balls, fire trucks, and still-life scenes from the Constitutional Congress. Sweet Creations also traffics in tasty small and large smoothies ($2.75; $3.25), as well as chocolate lollipops in dark, milk, or white chocolate, all wrapped up with a colorful ribbon.
Originally built in 1879, the building at 25 Union Street stood for nearly a century as an industrial bastion in downtown Worcester. When the last manufactures moved out in the 1970s, Robert "Gus" Giordano had an idea: convert the ruggedly beautiful interior into an upscale restaurant, preserving the historical building and ensuring that he would not be eating in there by himself everyday. Inhabiting the former screw-machine department, Maxwell-Silverman's Toolhouse ensconces diners in industrial elegance, with a ceiling crisscrossed with heating pipes, a floor dotted with oblong railroad ties, and cozy illumination courtesy of more than 40 vintage pool-hall lights.
Nestled in Union Station, Luciano's Restaurant transports diners back to the 1920s and '30s with walls covered in vintage photos and framed newsprints detailing the escapes of legendary gangsters. The refined indoor dining room features plush white seating and lush, flowery carpeting, while outdoor tables allow patrons to enjoy the sun or taunt slugs with salt shakers. Free parking is available at both locations.
Union Station proves to be a fitting location for Byblos Lounge, a Lebanese restaurant that ferries guests away to the eastern borders of the Mediterranean Sea with shareable mezzas, marinated meats, and toasty loaves of pita bread. Waves of Mediterranean spice crest on dishes of Levantine cuisine as sizzling kafta and kebabs fill the air with the savory aromas of beef, lamb, fish, and chicken. The architecture of classical antiquity meets the hip atmosphere of modern nightlife in the restaurant's interior, where Corinthian colonnettes frame tables clad in royal purple and diners hold Platonic dialogues beneath the glow of neon lights. After cleaning off plates of grilled meats and veggies, groups can head to the dance floor and sway to the sounds of live DJs, singers, and bands that take the stage on weekends.

News : Philander in doubt for New Year's Test
Players/Officials: Tim Southee
Series/Tournaments: New Zealand tour of South Africa
Teams: New Zealand
Tim Southee, the New Zealand fast bowler, has been ruled out of the Test series in South Africa because of a thumb injury. He needs surgery for a ruptured ligament and is likely to be sidelined for six-eight weeks.
Southee sustained the injury while diving in the field during a Plunket Shield match between Northern Districts and Wellington at Karori Park. He scored 156 off 130 balls and took seven wickets in Northern Districts' six-wicket win.
"He landed heavily on his thumb while fielding, with scans indicating the ligament has fully ruptured and retracted," New Zealand physio Paul Close said. "After consultation with NZC medical staff and a hand specialist it was decided the best course of action is for him to have surgery.
"He will commence rehabilitation immediately following the procedure, with a view to him returning to cricket during the home summer. The procedure is likely to keep him out of the game for 6-8 weeks."
Southee, who is due to become a father soon, was already missing the Twenty20s in South Africa. New Zealand had not decided on a replacement for Southee, who was their best bowler in the drawn Test series in Sri Lanka, where he took 12 wickets in two matches. Eight of those came in the second Test in Colombo, which New Zealand won by 167 runs.

DENTON, Texas -- Are Shreveport and Bossier City ready for a chemical spill? We are about to find out. FEMA, the State, and the communities of Shreveport and Bossier City are preparing to test local response to hazardous materials incidents.
Local officials have spent months refining and developing emergency response procedures. Fire, law enforcement, medical staff and industry will jointly test the plan in a two-hour exercise on September 20, at 10:00am. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region VI will direct the evaluation.
The evaluation will use a national program developed by FEMA Region VI called CHER-CAP- Comprehensive Hazmat Emergency Response - Capability Assessment Program.
Exercise players are from city, county and state governments, private business, volunteer organizations and FEMA. They include fire, law enforcement, medical staff and local industries. Arch Chemicals, Dupre' Transport, and Pennzoil-Quaker State, along with Barksdale Air Force Base and the American Red Cross, are partnering with others to support the exercise.
Peer evaluators will document the participant's activities. Northwest Louisiana State University School of Nursing, Louisiana Technical College, Bossier Technical School and the Fair Park Medical Careers Magnet will provide mock victims and evacuees. The public is welcome to observe the exercise at the Louisiana State Fairgrounds.

Another View: Hassan hurts poor families by eliminating tuition tax credits
If the governor's goal is saving money, as she claims, then she should oppose the repeal. The fiscal note prepared by the governor's own Department of Education states that repealing the OSA would actually cost the state half a million dollars over the next biennium.
The OSA was designed to aid low- and middle-income families while saving money. The maximum average scholarship size is only $2,500, significantly lower than the more than $4,300 that the state allocates for each public school student, and vastly lower than the total public school spending figure of $15,758 per pupil. Moreover, businesses receive tax credits for only 85 percent of their donations, so even assuming the maximum average scholarship size, the state saves nearly $2,200 whenever a student switches out of the public school system - and the savings for local taxpayers are far larger.
The Josiah Bartlett Center for Public Policy estimates that the OSA would save the state $8.3 million over the next four years. A repeal would eliminate those savings and increase costs.
High-income families already have school choice. They can afford to live in communities that have high-performing public schools or to send their children to independent schools. Low-income families have few, if any, choices besides their assigned local public school.
On the 2011 New England Common Assessment Program (NECAP) mathematics exam, eighth grade public school students in Bedford and Windham scored 84 percent and 89 percent proficient and above respectively, compared to 55 percent in Claremont and 42 percent in Stratford. Unsurprisingly, the median household income is $121,452 in Windham and $114,681 in Bedford compared to $41,721 in Claremont and $33,571 in Stratford.
But even in high-performing districts, we should not expect that any one school is capable of meeting all the diverse needs of all the students who happen to live nearby. Not all children thrive in the traditional classroom environment. Some students need extra support academically, socially or emotionally. Traditional public schools may work well for most children, but there is no school that is right for all children.
The overwhelming consensus of randomized controlled studies, the gold standard of social science research, have demonstrated that students attending schools of their choice perform as well or better than their public school peers. Moreover, a study of Florida's scholarship tax credit program also found a modest improvement in the academic performance of public school students in response to the increased competition.
Gov. Hassan also errs in her claim that the OSA "diverts taxpayer money" because she confuses private donations with government expenditures. In response to a challenge to Arizona's scholarship tax credit law, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2011 that contributions to charitable organizations are private funds, whether or not they qualify for a tax credit or deduction.
The Court held that the plaintiffs' argument improperly "assumes that income should be treated as if it were government property even if it has not come into the tax collector's hands." Every state court to consider a challenge to similar scholarship tax credit laws has ruled likewise.
Accepting the governor's reasoning would require holding that the federal deduction for charitable contributions "diverts taxpayer money" to churches and non-profits. As the Arizona Supreme Court noted, this tortured logic implies that "all taxpayer income could be viewed as belonging to the state because it is subject to taxation by the legislature."
The Opportunity Scholarship Act empowers low-income families to choose the education that best meets the individual needs of their children. In the process, the state saves money. If passed, the governor's hasty and ill-considered repeal would harm low-income children and taxpayers. It's hard to say whose interests the governor thinks she's serving, but it's certainly not going to help those kids and taxpayers to take away this promising and entirely voluntary option.

Black Rubber Interchangeable Medical Bracelets
- Product Review (submitted on July 12, 2013):
- When my last med ID bracelet broke, I bought this band and another dressier band to replace it. I figured I would wear the dressy band more often and save this one for casual outfits, exercising, and bumming around the house. It's so sleek and simple, though, that it goes with just about anything and doesn't draw too much attention to itself. So I think I'm actually going to wear this one more! I've not had it long, so not sure how the band will look after extensive use. If it's like my last N-Style ID band, though, it will look good until it breaks.

any recipe for pork sizzler steaks?
I have four of them, the packet says they're from the leg so I suppose they shouldn't be tough and of course they're thin. I'd like to use them for dinner today. Thanks in advance for any reply
Actually, pork steaks as I know them (I've never seen the word "sizzler" attached) do tend to be a bit tough. My husband grew up eating them and in his family, they were typically quickly grilled or fried, then put in a simmering bath of barbecue sauce until tenderized (an hour or two). You can then regrill them to caramelize the sauce, or just serve as is.
re: biondanonima
Maybe it's because I am in the UK, they're called like that on the packet... Yeah I found the pork steaks, pretty thick, were kind of tough, but on the packet it didn't specify what part of the animal they came from.
I am in Chicago where thin-cut boneless pork chops are sometimes put through the cubing machine (like cube steak) before they are sold. I have never seen them called "sizzler"---I have seen the term "pork cutlet"--- but "sizzler" would be an apt name because the cubing makes them extra-tender and quick to fry. The meat really falls apart when you bite into it---very fine for a hot sandwich. If you have already bought the meat you can't take it back but try some time before you take it out of the store asking the butcher to run it through the cubing machine.
Since I cannot fathom your definition of 'thin', what I'm about to suggest is for meat between 1/2" and 3/4" thick. First brine them for an hour in a solution of one quart of water, 4 tablespoons of sugar, and 3 tablespoons of Kosher or sea salt. Pat them dry before adding a dry rub of your choice. Then grill or broil them for a short period on both sides. Too long a period of heat exposure will dry them out. I suggest no longer than 4 minutes per side.
re: ChiliDude
they're like beef sandwich steaks more or less, wafer thin
re: lemony05
Now that I know the thinness I retract my suggestion given yesterday for the 'sizzler pork.' I now suggest that the 'sizzler' steaks be used for sandwiches similar to those called 'Italian steak sandwiches' or 'Cheese Steaks' in the Philly area. Google must have at least one website the describes the preparation of such a sandwich the next time you have pork of that thinness.
thanks. I ended up cooking a pork loin roast instead. So I am still open to suggestions. What could go with them then? I could grill them or pan-fry them the way you said
A bit late but I just joined sorry ;)
I did the other day stuffing pork sizzler steaks. I stuffed them with sausages goat cheese apple and bacon and serve them with an apple and cider sauce and potato wedges... It is just a version of a recipe I found on internet not sure where and my boyfriend loved it!
For the stuffing: Cook in a pan chopped onion, 1 chopped garlic clove, 3 pork sausages I took them out of the skin to cook them like mince (I did it with venison because they have almost no fat), 1 chopped apple (I cooked it for 3 minutes in the microwave before, pinch it all over with a fork so it doesn't explode and peel it before because after is a nightmare), thyme and sage.. Let it cool a bit and add goat cheese salt and pepper.
I beat a bit the steaks to make them even thinner, and then put the stuffing on top of the steak and roll like you would do when rolling a cigarette... To close the two sides what I did is to put a bacon rush around with the ends of the rushers tucked underneath... I repete the process with the 4 steaks and put them in a greased oven tray and to the oven mark 7
I put at also potato wedges in the oven (First I cut the potatoes in wedges, put them in the microwave for 5 minutes, and marinate them in a bit of olive, garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper) and then to the oven around 15 minutes one side and then turn them to let the other side cook too
You will see when the steaks are ready by the color of the bacon. To serve them I cut each of the steaks in two, serve with some potatoes and apple and cider sauce.
Apple sauce: Put in a saucepan a bit of olive oil, one chopped garlic clove, another apple (the same process as before in the microwave), chicken stock, sage, thyme and cider... When it was cooked blend it until smooth and put it agin in the saucepan
Hope you like it!
re: heartnsoul
Here it is!! All the credits to the original I just adapt it to use the sizzler scottish steaks http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/st...

As someone who has to read and manage a lot of email in my inbox, i'd like to suggest;
1. don't do it. please send in nice clean text that I can view as I like. I constantly get people sending me emails in weird and wacky ways with things like HTML that is totally broken to the point I can't strip it out or rtf.. I had one company that sent everything as a PDF attachment wtf is that about?!. I'd just like a plain text email that I can assign my own fonts to , not size 8px red on orange background or size 120px klingon superscript. I know this propbalby doens't apply to you, but I do prefer my emails to be clean.
2. Yeah, don't do that either. I hate it when I have to wait several minutes for new mail to finish downloading because someone decided it'd be great to send screenshots of issues, lots of screen shot and attachthem to the email... or the actual email as a PDF file.. please use links to anything you want the recepiant to view where possible, please.
Not sure what you're actually looking for with updated features. Email is, or rather should be pretty basic and feature set by now.

A WOMAN was rescued from a balcony as firefighters tackled a huge blaze which ripped through the first floor of a Worcester nursery last night (Sunday).
Eight fire engines and more than 50 firefighters from Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service were called to the Kinderkare nursery in Green Hill, London Road at 6.30pm last night.
Three crews from Worcester, two from Malvern and units from Bromsgrove, Droitwich, Pershore and Upton attended the scene as well as members of the Command Support Unit.
West Midlands Ambulance Service confirmed the woman was treated at the scene for smoke inhalation and taken to Worcestershire Royal Hospital.
Group commander Keith Chance said: "On arrival at the scene, firefighters found that there was a severe fire inside the premises which was affecting the first floor and roof.
"When I arrived at the scene a woman had been rescued from a first floor balcony and was treated for smoke inhalation.
"At the height of the incident crews used six main jets and one hose reel to deal with the fire and we had six firefighters in breathing apparatus," he added.
Two crews remained on scene throughout the night and there is currently one pump still at the scene.
A fire investigation officer attended the incident last night and has returned to the scene this morning, the cause of the blaze has not yet been determined.
The roof has reportedly been completely demolished as a result of the fire which also saw police officers close London Road during the incident.
The nursery cares for up to 50 children at a time aged from three months to five-years-old.
It's understood parents have been informed of the fire and offered alternative childcare provision.
A structural engineer is also due to attend the scene this morning to assess the damage to the building.

Shinzon's motives

The problem is that while those would be interesting motivations, at no point in the actual movie is it stated or even vaguely implied that those are Shinzon's motives, so its pure speculation. What we got in the movie is that he wants to destroy Earth for some reason, and hates Picard, for some reason, both of which are never clarified.
Some of us got it
by ourselves
. The clues are right there. Why do some audience members need everything spoonfed to them?
What's wrong with a little speculation after seeing a Trek movie?
"So why do you think Spock needed to rid himself of human emotions"?
"Why was Saavik crying at Spock's funeral?"
"Where was Amanda during Spock's
fal tor pan
"What was the Probe asking the whales"?
"What does God need with a starship?" (Well, okay, that one was asked in the film. How about, do you think he was a rogue Cytherian?")
"Why does Kirk suddenly hate Klingons when he happily hosted some in ST V"?
And so on...
See the problem with that is, Shinzon was supposed to be Picard's Khan and Khan had for more straight forward reasons for hating Kirk compared to the reasons for Shinzon hating Picard and wanting to destroy Earth.
Khan is a better villain because we have a better understanding of what drives him and why he hates Kirk. Sure Khan's megalomania gives him a warped perspective and lets him ignored his own fault for his situation, but he does have a right to be upset, Kirk didn't check up on him after banishing him to that planet and Khan's wife dying would certainly make bitter towards Kirk. All of that is far more interesting then the convoluted, yet underdeveloped motives Shinzon had in Nemesis. Convoluted story telling is not good story telling.

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - Commuters heading into downtown Athens Monday possibly noticed some demolition at the R.E.M. steeple, the famed location of the band's early practice and living space.
MACON, Ga. (AP) - After more than 160 years in Macon, the Georgia State Fair has moved to the Atlanta Motor Speedway in Hampton.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - A University of Central Missouri graphic design professor has knitted his way into the record books while running the Kansas City Marathon.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Crammed into conference rooms with pizza for dinner, some programmers building the Obama administration's showcase health insurance website were growing increasingly stressed. Some worked past 10 p.m., energy drinks in hand. Others rewrote computer code over and over to meet what they considered last-minute requests for changes from the government or other contractors.
BALL GROUND, Ga. (AP) - Police in the north Georgia town of Ball Ground are offering $1,000 reward for the arrest of whoever stole a scarecrow portraying Uncle Si Robertson from TV's "Duck Dynasty."
SPARKS, Nev. (AP) - Police in Nevada say the two people killed in a school shooting were a staff member and a student who was likely the attacker.

For some peeps (like me), one of the best parts of the holidays is decorating the tree. Why not gift your loved ones an awesome, loving addition to their favorite holiday tradition? That's totally easy to do with our longtime sponsor Susabella. Check out this Christmas ornament gift guide complete with special discount…
This is Offbeat Home's archive of Christmas posts.
Holiday decor that doesn't take up too much space
The holidays are fast approaching. Both my husband and I come from families who love the holidays, so we both are super excited to have our own place to holiday-ify and celebrate together. However, the problem is we have NO room to store any decorations post-holidays. How do the Homies who live in small spaces decorate their homes without generating the tubs of decor to store away later?
How I created Christmas, Whovian-style
What do you do if you've got a ton of Doctor Who knickknacks, a bare Christmas tree, and a cat named Pandora? You create the ultimate Doctor Who cat toy! Here's how I created Christmas, Whovian-style…
Make a last-minute Christmas tree with string lights
Need a little last-minute Christmas cheer? Take some inspiration from Homie Tiffany Steinke, who uploaded her "impromptu Christmas tree" to our Flickr pool, make a tree out of a string of lights!
Christmas: Emotional baggage topped with a bow
My fiance and I are from different cultural/religious background. He's Jewish, and the closest thing I have to a set religious upbringing is Catholicism. What we both have in common is a tendency towards atheism and skepticism. We had a number of discussions about various holidays, but there was one issue that we never could get resolved: Christmas.
Make real German homemade Glühwein from this secret family recipe
Glühwein (mulled wine) is really popular in Germany at Christmas. You get it in every Christmas Market and a lot of people make their own at home. Glühwein is a hot drink traditionally made of red wine, tea, spices and sugar. So if you want to try it, I show you how.
Last-minute gift ideas that don't suck
Hopefully I've done a good job in finding awesome gifts for most everyone on your list, but just in case I have failed you, or, in the (highly unlikely — right?) event that you have been procrastinating, here are some last-minute gift ideas that you can snag or create ASAP…
The Christmas Notebook: The Christmas tradition from a semi-nomadic family
During this holiday season, with lots of Offbeat Homies out there getting ready for the winter, I was struck by the thought that many of you are probably getting ready to travel or spend the holidays someplace different than normal. And I thought of one of my family's traditions that anyone can start, so I wanted to share it with you!

"STC Investments was simply fantastic when I rented from them! Although it was for a short time, they couldn't have been more professional or courteous. They work with their tenants, not against them. If there is a maintenance problem; once you report it, it is taken care of shortly thereafter. You don't get the 'runaround', and it's done right the FIRST TIME. No surprise visits, the rent is unbelievably reasonable. In Macomb, that's saying something!!!"
– Shelley Tears-Roche
"STC Investments is a great place to rent from! As a WIU student, they have been flexible with me and have made sure my needs are met. Their apartments aren't cookie cutter, which means you get what you want at the price you can afford."
– Sidney Colbert
"Dear Jill and STC investments, Thank you so much again for understanding my situation and being able to help me out. You guys really are the best. I have rented from a couple of the different main businesses around town, and you guys are by far the best. You have an amazing staff that really helps the tenants out and actually care. This is the first place that I have actually been happy with renewing my lease. Thanks so much again! "

Sensor readings generally have to be processed before you can use them. Patrick's explanation of how he filtered the CoffeeMon signal (by picking the maximum value in each time window) suggested that there's something fishy going on and it would be a mistake to treat the readings as subjected to mere noise.
Here's a zoomed-in section of my fridge temperature as it rises by about 0.75 degrees an hour, or 12 units of 1/16th of a degree which my Dallas OneWire DS18B20 digital temperature sensor reads at its maximum 12 bits of resolution.
The readings don't jump between more than two levels when the temperature is stable. You'd expect some more random hopping from signal noise.
Indeed, applying a crude Guassian filter doesn't seem to do much good. This (in green) is the best I got by convolving it with a kernel 32 readings wide (equating to about 25 seconds)
filteredcont = [ ] # cont = [ (time, value) ] k = [math.exp(-n*n/150) for n in range(-16, 17)] sk = sum(k) # (the 1/150 const chosen for small tail beyond 16 units) k = [x/sk for x in k] for i in range(16, len(cont) - 16): xk = sum(x[1]*kx for x, kx in zip(cont[i-16:i+17], k)) filteredcont.append((cont[i][0], xk))
The filtered version still has steps, but with a rough slope at the change levels. This filter is very expensive, and not any better than the trivially implementable Alpha-beta filter, which smoothed it like so:
a, b = 0.04, 0.00005 # values picked by experimentation dt = 0.5 vk, dvk = cont[0][1], 0 cont3 = [ ] for t, v in cont: vk += dvk * dt # add on velocity verr = v - vk # error measurement vk += a * verr # pull value to measured value dvk += (b * verr) / dt # pull velocity in direction of difference cont3.append((t, vk))

I have experienced much joy from this hardware hacking. I must have spent a couple hundred pounds on components. The bits arrive in little plastic trays like very expensive chocolate sweeties. There's always a thrill when you first wire them up and they actually work perfectly. Not only that, you can have fun with them the next day and the day after that, because they have not turned into poop.
I have a few surpluses by now. I got a realtime clock which is 5V, and a microSD card reader which is 3V3; the Jeenodes run on 3.3V and the normal arduinos are 5V, so I can't easily use either as the controller for datalogger. Some of the more idiot-proof breakout boards have converters on them, so they are safe for either voltage. Adrian has warned me to prepare for the coming of the 1.8V standard everywhere soon. I bought a combined ArduLog-RTC Data Logger, which for the moment is not playing ball.
Meanwhile, I've made a rule for the data logging of sensor data. Don't do it. It's not an end in itself. Too often people take on projects to collect sensor data and upload it to the internet (it's Tuesday, so the site must be called Xively) with the idea that anyone else in the world could download it and [rolls eyes] "Do whatever they want with it."
"Like what?"
"Whatever they want!"
If you can't think of a single interesting application for your data, why do you think anyone else in the world will be able to? And even if there was anyone in the world who could do something with it, they're probably the sort of person who'd have their own data which is guaranteed to be lot more interesting to them than yours. There's a reason we don't have a CCTV channel of someone else's back door at night on cable TV.
I've formulated a stronger principle:
The value of sensor data is inversely proportional to the product of the time that has ellapsed since it was collected and the distance you are from the subject of the data.
Let's take a simple case.
Patrick made CoffeeBot by putting the coffee machine onto an electronic weighing scale connected to an Arduino with an ethernet shield that talks to the internet.

I've been playing around with some geometric signal processing on the Atmega328-based Arduino kit for my run-time line fitting routine, when it occurred to me that I ought to know if I should be using floats or long_ints as the basis for this system.
Short_ints are only 2bytes with a maximum value of 32767, so you're always overflowing them and it's not worth the hassle. Therefore you have to use long_ints, which are 4bytes, the same as a float, so saving precious memory is not a factor in this decision.
Anyways, I woke up this morning and decided I needed some benchmarking.

I've begun various arduino experiments here in DoESLiverpool, which necessitated moving closer to Adrian's desk on account of knowing no electronics, there being bugger all adequate instructions on how to wire anything up.
Oh yes, he says, obviously VCC is standard code for "power in" for that red square in the centre-left of the picture that contains a microSD card and requires 3.3V of power — even though this is nowhere stated and all the other circuits in this kit use 5V.
It's not much of a standard when this is immediately contradicted by the thin thing on the bottom left of the picture (called a Jeenode) which labels its corresponding power pin "PWR", and the low-power bluetooth blue board on the middle of the white panel which calls its power pin "VIN" for "voltage in", and the red "real-time clock" thing above it which labels its power pin "5V", which is so much better because: (a) it is immediately understandable by the man in the street, (b) it conveys the crucial information about the level of voltage required, and (c) it uses one fewer character when the labels are already too small to read without a magnifying glass which I do not have but should get.
So WhyTF do they use any of those other codes?
Ah, you might say, wouldn't your logic require sometimes writing "3.3V", which is four characters?
Well, no, actually, because the thing in the middle with the USB plug has two power pins on it, one called "5V" and the other called "3V3", so they were forced to be sensible.
Of course, I'll be proved wrong when I find a peripheral that contains both "VCC" and "VIN" pins.
Don't get me started on all the other pin names, especially on the different arduino boards on which they've failed to mark out these all-important SPI pins that are either pins 11, 12 and 13, or pins 4, 1 and 3, or pins 51, 50 and 52, or you have to look it up on this handy diagram if you have a Jeenode.
I think electronics got off to a bad start from the very beginning when they decided that current flows in the opposite direction to the electrons. From then on it's been seven human generations of miscodings and mistakes that have been adopted as conventions resulting in something not unlike spelling in the english language — ie you can't see the problem once you have gotten used to it.

I'm back at work on my SLAM based laser scanner. Failure is not an option. Yet it feels like there is a real risk of it.
One of the steps in the process is to displace all the inertial unit measurements by a small error term in order to minimize the error in the correspondences.
More simply, we have a matrix A of height m and width n (m>n), a column vector b of height n, and we want to fill in the column vector x of height m such that A x = b is almost true.
There is no exact solution, so we look for a least squares answer, where (A x – b)^2 is minimal.
Luckily, there is a function scipy.linalg.lstsq() which does the job.
Let's consider a simple example of a 3×2 matrix:

I just got myself a new laptop and installed Ubuntu-Linux on it. Scares the hell out of me the speed with which I got it up and running. I am now lost in a sea of code. It's like walking into a public library after you'd been out in the sticks for a month with only two dog-eared issues of the Reader's Digest to keep you company. There's almost too much here. I want to read all of it. And any book or manual you do pick up and spend an hour with means there's another ten thousand you've not picked up that you should have been reading.
Anyways, while doing my apt-cache searching stuff for stuff, I noticed stimfit – Program for viewing and analyzing electophysiological data show up in the search for scipy.
It appears to take datasets of electo-potential readings from a single neuron at every tenth of a milisecond and then fit exponential decay curves [the thick grey line] to selected sections from the (negative) peak to the baseline.
A bit like a temperature sequence, eh?
Oh, and it has a funky Python shell built into it to help you automate the analysis functions. What's not to like?

To make up for my disorganization with the data collected at my house (in that it got lost, was not frequently sampled enough and didn't happen over the winter), I got this lovely temperature sequence from megni to analyze for my exponential decay theory which took a reading inside their cottage every 60 seconds.
My theory is that by fitting exponential decay curves to the data I would get some invariant values relating to the fabric of the building that would change when you improved its insulation characteristics (eg draught-proofing a window).
The first step is to chop of this data into the sections where the temperature is dropping down. It took a while to get some working code, but it came like this:
gw = 30 # half an hour sampleseqs, sampleseq = [ ], None for i in range(gw, len(samples): vd = samples[i-gw][1] - samples[i][1] # positive if past temp higher if vd >= 0: if not sampleseq or vd >= mvd: # restart seq at bigger difference sampleseq = samples[i-gw:i] mvd = vd sampleseq.append(samples[i]) elif sampleseq: sampleseqs.append(sampleseq) sampleseq = None

Suppose we have a temperature sequence like this one gathered from last September in our kitchen when we started to put the fire on in the late evenings. The central heating wasn't on yet, so there's no second temperature "bump" in the mornings. (The three bumps in the first peak are the three logs we put on the fire.)
You get an appreciably square looking graph by plotting the data as units of an hour in X, and units of a degree centigrade in Y, so a 45degree slope would represent a 1 degree difference per hour, which is the right scale of change in our environment.
My immediate observation from the first moment I saw such a temperature sequence (roughly in the middle of last summer when we visited megni in North Wales) was that these are exponential decay curves.
The trick is to find them and fit them.

Friday evening I made a visit to the Berlin Fab-Lab open day. They've got a heck of a lot of 3D printers in a small space. All kinds colours and materials, from brittle and hard to rubbery plastic. I think they also build their own kits. (I asked them if they'd heard of the Autodesk Spark, and they hadn't. It's great to be out in the big wide world!)
But just as they find in DoESLiverpool, the 2D laser cutter gets the most use, because we can design things in 2D for a fraction of the effort.
The weekend was blighted by a desperately bad headache which was entirely unlike a hang-over that confined me to a dark room. (Hang-overs tend to release at around 8pm the following day for me.)
On Sunday afternoon I started to do some work.
Firstly, I discovered that all my laser scanning data was lost on the Autodesk computer which I gave back last week for disposal, so I can't work on that software till I get some more, probably by going to Bristol and making the device work again.
Then I discovered that almost all my temperature sequence data was also lost on that same computer — although I do have 6 days of records from some time last September before the cold weather properly set in and we got some actual useful data. Whether I can find it anywhere on an SD card, or I have to collect some data all over again with a new Arduino set-up of my own making will have to wait till I get home.
For convenience, I'm putting the maths of exponential decay curves into a separate blogpost.
Here's a picture of some not very spooky pumpkins in the local supermarket.
Also, I spied a poster for the newly opened Happylab Salsburg. Might be one for a drop-in next expo.
Maybe these are like computer clubs were back in the 1970s. It'll all make sense in hindsight one day.

I'm casting around for some little long term geometric projects which I could be good at. I'm very bad at the sysops stuff and compilers (which seems to be a breeze for every other hacker in the world). Plotting the geometry which you have calculated is also a drag.
For me, twistcodewiki does it all.
I followed the instructions to compile OpenVoronoi on this very small under-powered linux netbook I have kicking around, and got twistcodewiki to work. Here is me entering a polygon and plotting a voronoi structure from it:
The code is as follows:

I have combination acne-prone skin and I absolutely love using this product. It's light and covers absolutely every imperfection on my skin. I use it alone without foundation and also as a concealer for trouble spots. It's good for about a month, but be careful how you store it or it will melt in heat. It's $20 CAD but always goes on sale which makes it really affordable. This is an essential product in my makeup bag!
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I am really disappointed with all of these negative reviews.
SoundlySensibleBeauty pointed out that PHYSICIANS FORMULA BB COMPACT IS AN EXACT DUPE FOR MAC PREP & PRIME BB COMPACT.
This is not a foundation for people with oily skin. It is a light coverage foundation for dry skin. Period. The only negative aspect is the limited shade range, but light-Light Plus in Mac and Light/Medium =Medium-Medium Plus in Mac.
I have tried this compact in two shades (fair-medium for summer and fair for fall/winter). I absolutely love it. I use a blending brush with it because the sponge alone will not blend the product well but overall I am extremely happy with this product. It doesn't cake, it stays on all day, and I don't feel like I've piled on layers of make up when I wear it. It also covers much better than traditional BB's which is an added benefit for me. I have been extremely happy with the product over all.
I wish I could leave no lippies for this. I'm fair-skinned and I got this in light. The texture wasn't bad, but it did not blend well. It was really streaky, but at least the coverage was kind of decent.....
But can you say oompa loompa orange?! Literally NO ONE's skin is this color. It's legitimately bright fake orange. it wouldn't even match a bad spray tan. I showed my boyfriend and he busted out laughing saying "you look like an oompa loompa with that makeup on". I laughed with him and washed it off and returned it immediately.
It's way too expensive for how AWFUL it was.

I picked this up in Light/Medium and as soon as the sponge touched my face, I knew I made a horrible mistake. This is orange - straight up orange - on my skin. I love Korean BB creams, but I was out and had to get *something*. I was excited to see one I could purchase on the ground that didn't look/feel like a tinted moisturizer. There was a BOGO sale and this made the cut. I wish it hadn't. In addition to being a horrible skin tone match, this is greasy/oily. Even though there is so much greasiness, it showed every flake of skin around my nose. Very strange. The coverage is definitely light and I doubt the SPF would last through the day. I try to use product until it's gone, but this was thrown in the trash after trying it for a week straight.

I was really hoping to like this product because I use alot of PF cosmetics. HOWEVER this foundation/BB cream was way to GREASY and turned my face completely ORANGE the second time I used it! Somehow it oxidized in the compact because I went to put it on my face, and the color was way off... not like the first time I tried it. I had to wipe it off with tissues and put on a different foundation from AVON (I was in the car passenger seat on my way somewhere, so no bathroom.) This foundation also comes off very easily, so no staying power.
Gave it 2 lippies because I liked the packaging, but still not worth the purchase. Reviewing for Light/medium.

Love this, but expensive for what it is. Wouldn't repurchase, but gives a nice natural finish.
This has a couple of things going for it. Well, mostly that the Light shade is nice and blends well with my ~NC20 skin tone. It doesn't seem irritating at all. UNfortunately, it has a lot of shimmer in direct sunlight. Just bought it and I'm already seeing that it fades fast and didn't hide my redness for long.
And now that I have read the reviews, I'm pretty scared to keep using it. If it's as greasy as everyone says, I'm afraid it's gonna make me break out. (But then, most everything does.)
This is the kind of tinted moisturizer/foundation that only works for a specific skin type. I would strongly discourage anyone with combo or oily skin from using this. It essentially has the texture of Crisco- very slick and greasy. That said, it's great for my dry skin. If you have trouble finding a base that will actually spread and blend even if you've moisturized already, you may like this bb. Other bb and cc creams I've tested were way too dry for me.
Color: I'm around NC 20-25, and got Light. If you're lighter than NC 20, the Light will probably show up orange.
Coverage: very sheer to medium, depending on how it's applied. Has a translucent quality like Mac face and body.
Wear: Using a primer helps this to not crease or fade. I usually used Hourglass veil or Armani fluidmaster primer, and liked how both helped the texture set. Stays dewy all day, so I really like this bb compact, and already repurchased.

This sucked. I wore it to work once (barmaid) and had to reapply it so much I literally hit the pan after one shift. It has very sheer coverage and an oily finish. With or without primer, for me, it didn't last long at all. It advertises that it replaces the need for a moisturizer, but I had expected that it would set and mattify somewhat after a while...It just gets greasier. Complete waste of money and I'm taking it right back.

There is one more way, goof-up in filing papers deliberately last minute. Itz a back-up plan or last but one line of defence. The last line of defence is to pay money to vote for opposition party, if get exposed then gain & if not, still purpose is served.Answered by MAdhavan Avadhany, 18 Mar 10:06 am
