Are you an amateur musician? Perhaps you've decided to learn to play the harmonica or the ukulele. Maybe you're looking for some fun sing-along music to play at the lake during that hot summer vacation. Calgary Public Library has a wonderful collection of music scores. Our score collection covers the full range of musical genres including folk, jazz, blues, classical and good old fashioned rock and roll.
We have a wide range of instructional scores including material for the very beginner, such as "Play Guitar in 10 Easy Lessions: a simple structured approach to learning guitar" or, for the musician wanting to advance their skills, scores such as "The Best of Eric Clapton: a step-by-step break down of his playing technique".
We also have a great selection of scores for your favorite musicals, movies and television programmes, including "Titanic: piano selections", "Anne of Green Gables: song album" or "More Songs From Glee".
Whether you're a pianist exploring the classical repertoire, or whether you're looking for music for your wedding or your favorite Disney songs to share with your child, whether you're a singer in a choir or just wanting to take a trip down memory lane with well loved rock songs there is a score for you at the Library. By far the most comprehensive music score collection is at the Central Library on the main floor.
As for the trip to the lake this summer, sitting by a fire on the beach roasting marshmallows, check out "Campfire Songs: lyrics and chords to more than 100 sing-along favorites."
You Are StardustPress releases with this year's winners of the Canadian Library Association's children's book award-winners and honour books were released on April 15th. In all three cases the committees have chosen a book dealing with potentially weighty subjects, offering parents, teachers, and librarians opportunities not only for sharing and discussion with children, but also titles appropriate for inclusion in classrooms.The 2013 Amelia Frances-Howard Gibbon award for illustration has been presented to first-time illustrator Soyeon Kim, for the illustrations in Elin Kelsey's You Are Stardust. Kim's process for this environmental picture book involved photographing three-dimensional dioramas, giving the double-sided spreads an extra richness. They complement the text by an award-winning environmentalist, which discusses how all of us are part of the natural world.Reluctant JournalThis year's CLA Book of the Year for Children was awarded to Susin Nielsen's The Reluctant Journal of Henry K. Larsen (who is only writing this because his therapist said he had to, which stinks.) Henry is certainly a reluctant hero; he is also smart and funny, which makes him an appealing protagonist from the very first page. By the time readers find out why his therapist assigned him to write in a journal about the tragic and life-changing incident that he calls "IT," they will be unable to put down this book. That IT does deal with issues that have been in the news, including bullying, suicide, and school shootings, from the point of view of a survivor and in a manner that is neither condescending, nor didactic, nor preachy, should only make it a more relevant and important book for libraries, teachers, and parents to know about. This title is also available in Overdrive.Book of Life by Angel
High River's Martine Leavitt is the winner of this year's YA Book of the Year award for her verse novel My Book of Life By Angel. Sixteen-year-old Angel is living in downtown Vancouver when a shady character named Call starts giving her "candy" and turns her onto prostitution. Things go from bad to worse when Angel's friend Serena is just one of the women who disappear from the area. Readers will be drawn into this book, that tells a haunting story about a difficult time in Vancouver's history and a sad-but-true lifestyle.All of the prizes will be awarded at the CLA Conference in Winnipeg at the end of May.
The Calgary Public Library's collection includes many books written by talented authors right here in Alberta. Here are two titles in our collection which I've recently enjoyed:
Told from the perspective of his horse Bonfire, this is the story of Canadian poet John McCrae's experiences during World War I which ultimately led to the writing of the famous poem In Flanders Fields. Bonfire provides an accurate account of the conditions which faced both soldiers and the animals that served alongside them in the battlefields of Europe from 1914-1918. Amidst the chaos and destruction of the conflict an unbreakable friendship is formed between McCrae and his war horse which would last until the very end.
Great for those interested in history, horses or both, this well-researched offering from local author Raby-Dunne is well worth the read.
Definitely one I'd pick for story-time with the kids, Rose's Move tells the story of Rose, a flower who has grown too big for her bed and must make the transition to a new home. Told by McComiskey with charming style, Rose's move is a great way to introduce young children to the concept of change and new experiences in their lives.
Complete with beautiful illustrations by Janice Blaine, (also local!) Rose's Move is a wonderful choice to share with the whole family.
One publishing trend that has been gaining popularity steadily over the past few years is books written by people who rose to fame blogging, tweeting or as Youtube sensations. In the past year notable titles include Jenny Lawson's Let's Pretend This Never Happened and the very Canadian The Best of Down Goes Brown: Greatest Hits and Brand New Classics-to-Be from Hockey's Most Hilarious Blog by Sean McIndoe.
The latest internet-star-turned-published-author is Calgary's own Kelly Oxford. Her book Everything is Perfect When You're a Liar, was released last week and has already made its way onto the New York Times best seller list. Oxford got her start as a blogger and became a Twitter phenomenon; a mom with three kids navigating all that is parenthood and pop culture. She soon had celebrity followers including Jessica Alba, Jimmy Kimmel and the late Roger Ebert. Time Magazine named her one of the Top 120 Twitter Feeds in both 2011 and 2012 and to date she has almost 500,000 followers.
I became familiar with Kelly Oxford when a publisher representative told us about her about a year ago. Since then I have been following her on Twitter and was fortunate to get my hands on an advanced reading copy of her book. While not everyone will appreciate her humour, I like that she says what most of us are thinking, but wouldn't have the guts to say out loud. And in all honesty, part of her appeal is that she is from Calgary and it's hard not to cheer for the hometown connection.
The book is a memoir of sorts; each chapter functions as an essay about an event in Oxford's life, beginning with her failed attempt at a neighborhood production of Star Wars, through to a recent family trip to Disneyland. Her unique humor is present throughout the book, but the book is also very human and honest.
My favorite chapters by far, wereTweezers (about a tenacious young Oxford single handedly launching her modelling career) and Frogger (a trip to Disneyland filled with corn dogs and Belle from Beauty and the Beast). Throughout the book she does a good job of laughing at herself and gives the impression that while she has worked hard throughout her life (starting with that Star Wars production) she doesn't take anything for granted.
Oxford and her family are currently living in Los Angeles as she works on various television writing projects. The book seems to be the start of big things for her and her family. Place your hold now on a print copy of Everything is Perfect When You're a Liar; the ebook will soon be available through Overdrive.
It was two years ago when I saw the Alberta Ballet company perform George Balanchine's Serenade, one of the greatest ballet masterpieces of the 20th century. For those of you who are unaware of who Balanchine was, I can say without a doubt that he was the most influential ballet choreographer of the 20th century, whose vision for ballet revolutionized the form in America and beyond. Born January 22, 1904, George Balanchine was the co-founder and ballet master of the New York City ballet, and to this day, his many ballets are performed in cities all over the world including our own. This month marks the 30th anniversary of his death.
The Dancer documentarySince I don't get many opportunities to watch ballet, I find that I am always looking for other sources to feed my ballet addiction. To my delight, I discovered not too long ago that the Calgary Public Library has a resource called Dance in Video in its E-library.
Dance in Video features hundreds of hours of video performances, documentaries, interviews and instructional footage from influential dancers and companies covering a variety of genres such as ballet, tap, jazz, and contemporary. Coincidently, I discovered that a Swedish documentary that I had bought on DVD called The Dancer is available for free through Dance in Video! The documentary follows several dancers of the Royal Swedish ballet as they struggle with the stresses and joys of perfecting their craft and rising to the top.
The Calgary Public Library also has a great collection of ballet related DVDs. One excellent film with Canadian content that comes to my mind is Ballet High, a documentary about the graduating class of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet School Professional Division.

Video: Huge helicopter bicycle lifts off powered by one person
We're not anywhere near a future where you hop on your bicycle and pedal to your destination through the very air, but a team of students from the University of Maryland have captured that idea, if only for a short time. It took a huge contraption to do it, but one pedaling person was able to hover.
The craft developed by the Marylander's is pretty big — it takes up a whole room, in fact. Called Gamera II, it's got a carbon fiber lattice-work frame connecting four big rotors — each 42 feet across — and has a total width of 105 feet. Even still, it's only 71 pounds, and just one person pedaling was enough to lift Gamera II off of the ground for 50 seconds during a test flight yesterday.
Wired's Jason Paur reports that the team was able to get off the ground for 11 seconds with their first Gamera pedal-craft last year. The Gamera II is lighter, and if the team can keep it aloft for a solid minute, it will be able to win the Sikorsky Human-Powered Helicopter Competition, which carries a $250,000 prize purse. There are two other considerations, though: it will need to hover 3 meters off of the ground during that time, and stay within a same 10-square-meter range. Nailing that height will be an issue for Gamera II: it currently hovers at around 2 feet.
You can see one of the Gamera II test flights, which lasted 40 seconds, in the video below. The University of Maryland team still hopes to hit that 60-second target. They improved upon their design last year by making it over 30 pounds lighter, as well as adding hand cranks to supplement the pedal power.

Date 2004-10-09 Availability unrestricted AbstractWhen looking at the society of today, we get a picture of a society that has lost hope in their lives. This picture also has an effect on the church. Regarding this phenomenon is the remark of Gerard Dekker that the church has become a fringe phenomenon and that the church has lost contact with the world. The church is in a situation of uncertainty and in a search of identity. The use of symbolism and rituals provides identity and security. When a person is confronted with the meaning of the symbol that is been used, it helps that person to give meaning to its life on to give hope for that person. But for this to happen it is necessary that the symbols are being used correct and from the basis of the Scripture.
The main place were the symbols and rituals are being used is in the place of public worship. Therefore it is necessary that we will understand what happens in the public worship and who the person is that comes to the public worship. It is also necessary to look at reasons for the insufficient use of symbols in the public worship. In a study that is being made we find that the most significant aspect on the preaching is the atmosphere that there is in the public worship. The church lives in a time of changes and these changes have an affect on the church and the preaching. The public worship is also a creative process were the role of the Scripture, the traditions and the context are important.
When using symbols in the public worship we have to look at the communication theory of Ricoeur. For Ricoeur the narrative plays an important role. The process of understanding is for him a creative process where he makes use of stories, metaphors and symbols. From his communication theory it is important that the listener are included. The use of symbols is for him a help in understanding. The symbols also have a double significance, namely unveiling and concealing.
The thesis also shows out the role that the Reformation, the Modernism and the Post Modernism have on a person and the way we understand the Word of God. The use of symbols is helpful in the communication of the Word of God to the Post Modern person. The challenge for the preaching is that the symbols are being used in a manner that the other reality is being communicated to the Post Modern person.
The last two chapters of the thesis concentrates on the role that symbols plays in our lives; the characteristic of symbols; the conditions for the use of symbols and the use of symbols and rituals. When it comes to the use of symbols we see that these symbols gives meaning and hope to a person.

ComEd wants rate hike but says bills will be lower
BY DAN ROZEK Staff Reporter email@example.com April 29, 2013 5:36PM
Updated: June 1, 2013 6:38AM
Commonwealth Edison Co. wants to raise its delivery rate for residential customers about $5 a month beginning next year but says electric bills will be lower than current costs.
The utility company asked Monday for a $311 million revenue increase from its customers, though the Illinois Commerce Commission still must approve the increase.
Despite the request, the average electric bill for a residential customer will fall from about $81 monthly to about $66, beginning in June — thanks to falling energy prices.
If the higher delivery rate is approved, bills will rise in January to an average of about $72 monthly — still about 10 percent below the current rate.
Bills will fall even with the higher delivery charges because power suppliers are producing energy more cheaply, ComEd officials said.
The additional cash is needed so ComEd can improve its power grid, which includes upgrading its distribution system and installing "smart meters."
"It's the cost to invest in the grid," said Tom O'Neill, a ComEd senior vice president, adding the utility expects regulators ultimately will approve the rate request.
"It's our expectation the bulk of this will go through," he said.
Adjusted for inflation, ComEd rates are about 23 percent less than they were in 1995, the company said in a statement.

A free hot sex clip chikan japanese mpeg site xxx free cartoon porn clipWhen Judy had come down some, Audrey sat up and pulled Judy further down and turned her diagonally across the bed. "Eat me, Judy, Darling, while I eat you!" And she straddled Judy in reverse, placing her pussy directly over Judy's face. Soon both sweet cunts were being sucked and juicing copiously. The sisters were whimpering continually and thrusting their creaming pussies against hungry mouths. Pete's cock was now fully erect and throbbing for attention. He moved around and knelt over Judy's head, spreading his legs to lower his stiff rod. She saw the big hard-on swinging so close, took her mouth off Audrey's cunt and began to tongue the weeping head. Then she fully engulfed it and slid her lips back and forth urgently.

Support Group for the Separated and Divorced
2314 Third Avenue, Scottsbluff, NE
St. Agnes Catholic Church, Scottsbluff, NE will be starting its 4th Annual DivorceCare Group on March 6th, 2014. The DivorceCare Group will meet weekly on Thursdays (except for April 17th, Holy Thursday) for 7 weeks. Registration will be at 6:30 p.m. with meetings to start immediately thereafter. Meetings will run from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., with a break in between with treats and refeshments.
Seminar Videos with Experts
We are in our 2nd year with up-dated DivorceCare materials with 27 experts, 47 new testimonial interviews, 8 compelling mini-dramas, pro-quality HD videos, and major improvements to the participants' workbooks. The first week will consist of introductions, going over the workbooks, what to expect in the up-coming seven weeks, along with the first video and discussion to follow. Thereafter, we will view two videos at each session with discussion to follow.
A Support Group with Focus
After viewing the video each week participants spend time as a support group, discussing what was presented in the video seminar and what is going on in the lives of group members. Participants are welcome to begin attending on any week! Each session is "self-contained," allowing new participants to view and past participants from years before to view sessions they may have missed or would like to view again. DivorceCare is like an Emergency Room (ER) allowing newly separated/divorced people to walk in any time during the 7 weeks and begin participating. DivorceCare is NONDENOMINATIONAL and features biblical teaching for those recovering from divorce and separation. In addition, for those participants who are Catholic, Fr. Vince Parsons, Pastor of St. Agnes Catholic Church, will present an additional Session on Annulment once the 7 weeks have concluded. This is for anyone interested in starting the annulment process.
Most people will tell you that separation and divorce are the most painful and stressful experiences they've ever faced. It's a confusing time when you feel isolated and have lots of questions about issues you've never faced before. DivorceCare groups meet weekly to help people face these challenges and move toward rebuilding their lives. For more information about the group meetings go to St. Agnes' Website Schedule and Registration pages for more details: a schedule of meeting dates, video topics, and a registration form.
We are extending an invitation to you or anyone who is either separated or divorced, that might find this group beneficial. Each participant joining the group will receive a workbook. There is a fee of $20.00 to join. For those who cannot afford the fee, we will have scholarships available.
Please feel free to contact me, Jacque Neu, DivorceCare Facilator, if you have any questions, or would like more information about the DivorceCare Program. Or, you can email me (see below ).

THE ATHEIST'S COMPLAINT:Who was Zechariahs father? 2 Chronicles 24:20-21 states that Jehoiada was, but Matthew 23:35 says it was Berechias. Is there a contradiction?
RESPONSE:It is possible that Jehoiada and Berechias are names referencing the same individual. Recall, Matthew is also called Levi (Mt 9:9; Lk 5:27); Lebbaeus is also called Thaddaeus (Mt 10:3); and Simon is also called Cephas (Jn 1:42). It is entirely possible that this is one person, referred to with two different names.
Also, there is an assumption by the questioner that the Zechariah of 2 Chronicles 24:20-21 is the same Zechariah as mentioned in Matthew 23:35. Both were put to death in the temple, which perhaps gives credence to the thought that they are the same man, but it certainly is not conclusive proof. It is certainly possible that more than one person by the name of Zechariah was put to death in the temple by the Jews. Some have supposed that the Zechariah listed in Matthew 23 is the prophet, though no account is given in Scripture of his death.
Whether it is one of these explanations or perhaps another, the contradiction is answerable. There is no contradiction.

Earth escapes obliteration by comet
Samsung gets fast-track appeal on Tab injunction
Part of the problem, here...
is how long it takes to get to court.
Let us imagine a scenario where this case gets to court in mid-2012, and Samsung win. So what now? The products are worthless, having been superceeded by the next generation.
If they are going to have these patent battles for high tech devices which will be outdated in 6 months (max), get 'em into a court room pronto and decide, or don't allow an injunction till the case is done.
Jobs: 'I'll spend my dying breath destroying Android'
Yes, it changed drastically from prototype stage to the final product... I've never seen that happen before!
You could argue that Apple "stole" their design from the WinMo phones HTC has been producing for years. In the end, IMHO, they are very different.
And I second the comment above about Apple copying Android's notification bar in iOS 5. But, in the end, such features do get passed around technology as it evolves. This doesn't mean they are copying, exactly.
And I would point out, too, the blatant copying Apple pulled in it's early days. Pot, meet Kettle.
New RAM shunts data into flash in power cuts
@Robert E A Harvey
"boot-up time on the CAM system"
Everyone in the office now knows I am reading El'Reg instead of working, coz That made me burst out laughing! Love it!
"Seems this would go a long way toward making instant-on-hardly-ever-need-to-reboot computers and devices a reality."
Only if either
a) Microsoft bucks it's ideas up, or
b) People switch to an OS which hardly ever needs a reboot
The biggest advantage to Capacitors over Batteries is how quickly and efficiently they can charge and discharge. With a battery, if you discharge faster you don't get as much energy out, where as this isnt the case with a supercap*. They can also be charge very quickly.
Add the advantages above, and for short term power supply they are a very good option.
* I know this isn't technically the case, due to power losses from the higher current, but it is such a small effect compared to batteries as to make it negligible.
HTC's iPhone, iPad ban bid derailed by US judge
I couldn't agree more.
Apple's US bid to ban Samsung tabs hinges on design
Why not link a picture? Because I don't have one.
But you are right. The screen wasn't flush. It had a button or 2. It was grey, not black.
I am not saying you could not distinguish between them, just that they were of the same concept. All that's moved on is technology: It would have been much more difficult/expensive at that time to do a flush screen and thinner bezel, if it was even possible. If you looked at the PDAs & Smartphones of the time, they also had thick bezels. This does not stop them being pretty much the same, barring improvements which have come mostly from new technology.
I beg to differ
This is only my oppinion, but...
I used a Tablet a fair while before the iPad came out. It was a Windows-based tablet. It had a screen in the middle, a border round the edge, and that's pretty much it.
OK, it was bigger, thicker, and not as "slick". But, hey, that's mainly technology improving.
Similarly, I used touch-screen smart phones and PDAs before the iPhone. These were, by and large, the same as the iPhone, but a bit more bulky (mainly, again, down to the technology)
IMHO, as with most Apple products, the iPhone and iPad (which is just a scaled up iPhone anyway) are derrivative in design from what came before.
Now I will admit that Samsung are treading close to the line which divides derrivative from blatant copying (and may have crossed it, I haven't actually seen the products in question), but I do think that those who say "Wow, Apple are SO innovative!" (as was said many times after Jobs' death) have selective memory. What Apple are good at is taking an existing concept and refining it, making it more usable for that average man on the street. I take nothing away from them for that, they do it very well, but that is it.
Hadoop: A Linux even Microsoft likes
RE: What are the alternatives to AD?
Actually, there are several, but none are as easy for a mainly-Windows userbase.
In an environment which was not prodominantly Linux, I would not consider using an alternative. The alternatives are just not as good, in terms of ease of use and functionality, when used in a Windows environment.
I am, however, about to start evaluating Samba 4. I know it's only Alpha at the moment, but it should be a viable alternative once it is finished. However, this is only AD on Linux. The problem is, if you don't use MS's proprietary systems on Windows, you run into the sort of configuration Hell you used to get on Linux back-in-the-day, which just isn't worth the man-hours.
Run a pure Linux/Unix environment (or only a small number of Windows machines), and there are much better alternatives.
RE: Real FOSS is licensed under GPL
Actually, I don't quite agree.
Real FOSS is Public Domain, where there are absolutely no restrictions on the use of the code, in part or in full. All rights are given up by the author.
The probelm is that this gets exploited, which is why FOSS licenses sprang up. These are less Free and Open than public domain, but protect the wishes of the author to keep the software as Free and Open as possible. Don't get me wrong, I am a big fan of the GPL and use it myself, but to be truely Free and Open, there must be no restrictions on use or distibution of the code. GPL is a good approximation of Free and Open.
Only my 2p worth...
BOFH: Where's my free fondleslab?
"As a punishment, we have kept all the free iPads and Alienwares for ourselves and given him none."
You owe me a new keyboard for that!
Stallman: Android evil, Apple and Microsoft worse
No, you can't mix & match the licenses for the same piece of code. The code which is under the GPL must be kept under the GPL (unless the copyright holder agrees to relicense). This code must then be distributed once the binaries are distibuted to comply with the license. Strictly speaking, this includes the point when Google send it to their partners.
But the parts licensed under ASF do not have this requirement. So as long as they are distributing the code to the GPL-licensed components on distribution, there is no breach of the license.
I am not defending Google's (and the handset developers') actions, but this is how the licensing works.
PayPal's 'delightful' intrusion into meatspace: You wish
"OMFG - don't let any of the big retailers even think about that! Hotel California Tesco style, you can pay (and pay, and pay...) but you can never leave"
I had an incident recently where that nearly happened. Went to the local supermarket just before closing. When I was leaving, they had locked the doors and had a guy standing there to open it for people to leave. Unfortunately, the key didn't work, and it took him 5 mins of jiggling to let me out!
PayPal to move into the shop - without cards or NFC
About time!
Although I am naturally wary (Paypal seeming to be one of the most hackable transaction systems out there) it's about time they did this. If it's done right, and there's enough takeup (especially the scan&pay bit) this could seriously improve (i.e. speed up, the worst part of any shopping is the time it takes!) shopping.
I'll reserve judgement until I see it in action, but I'm cautiously optimistic.
Hunt: We'll slightly inconvenience pirate sites
"Piracy can never be stopped, there will always be new innovations and ways to illegally distribute content. Why? Because there will always be demand for something for nothing... Politicians know better than to take piracy prevention seriously; they know there is no way to ever stop piracy."
Hasn't stopped them trying in other circumstances. For example, "drugs".
Does Cameron dare ditch poor-bashing green energy?
Ideal vs. Real World
The problem is that, in an ideal world, we should be moving towards renewable sources of energy. They are the future, and will (when technology advances far enough) be cheaper than the alternatives. I think even the greens accept there will need to be something to augment them due to the variability of the most readily available renewable sources in this country, whether something to generate a base power requirement of an effective energy storage scheme, but I think most people accept they will be a big part of future energy production (hate that phrase, "energy conversion" is better but everyone seems to think we "make" energy...)
In the real world, however, I think most people realise that technology still isn't there. I have had conversations with those on low incomes. Fuel bills are crippling them, and have meant they can't afford to have the heating on. Instead the entire family huddles under a blanket on the couch of an evening. Surely this is unacceptable in this day and age!
Yes, I believe we should be partly subsidising the "renewable" industry at the moment, as we need it to advance to a commercially viable state. I do not, however, believe we should be deploying half as much as we are, nor should we be subsidising by increasing fuel costs. If the govt wants them subsidised, let them do so, from government coffers. They can increase income tax to cover it, if they must. At least then it is those who can afford to pay who caver the cost. As things stand, the poor are sufferring more than those who are better off.
Apple ejects FT app from iTunes
"as HTML5 becomes the new, FREE app store"
And don't forget cross-platform. Suddenly, all these "Apps" become web pages, accessible from practically any device, rather than iPhone-exclusive and locked-in.

CERN: 'Climate models will need to be substantially revised'
Just one point.
"are we supposed to believe that a rise in volcanism AND cloud-inducing cosmic rays has somehow caused global climate change at the same time as a massive rise in the human output of CO2 and other greenhouse gases, along with a sharp reduction in global forest cover?"
Correllation does not prove Causation.
I am still on the fence WRT CC, but saying things like this does not aid a logical argument.
Google SHOCK! Snaps up Motorola phone biz for $12.5bn
I have only one problem with the Defy, that's the locked bootloader. However this gripe is from my geek side, for a consumer this would not matter.
Aside from that the Defy is well built and a solid all-round performer, with a great screen and enough oompf for most tasks. Add in the waterproof* element, and it's a fantastic phone.
* I have not tested the waterproofness of my phone, as I bought it "refurbished". It may not be after that, so I won't be dropping it in the bath on purpose, but I have handled it with wet hands and it has had a pint spilled over it with no consequences (for the phone... I had to buy another pint).
Grow up, Google: You're threatening IT growth
Not so
"Patents are the death of growth. Not Google."
Patents, when the system works as it was originally designed, promote growth and innovation.
The current patent system is the death of innovation. As pointed out in the article, it is failing. Patents are being actively used by large corporations to stifle innovation. This is the system's fault, and is not in keeping with the original purpose of patents. This was to get those who innovate and invent to publish what they have done while providing them protection from those who would copy their ideas.

"Pulling a pint of proper beer is, of course, more complicated. British beer doesn't lend itself to electronic measuring or pumping"
Actually, I could see an electronically measured hand-pump system being more simple to implement.
AFAIK most hand pumps draw 1/3 or 1/2 a pint per "pull". My own at home does half a pint, perfect for me considering it's just a short walk to the kitchen for a top up and I end up with less chance of wasting my delicious homebrew.
Therefore to measure the quantity, you just count the number of pulls. For a more accurate system, you could count the displacement, which should be proportional to the quantity dispensed. Much more simple than measuring lager flowing through a pipe (and more tasty).

Heat sink breakthrough threatens ventblockers
Very clever
I was sceptical at first, but reading comments above this looks to be an ingenius idea.
WRT "Several thousand RPM is going to sound like a jet engine"... Most PC fans I have come accross, at full speed, run at over a thousand RPM. Many of those on budget coolers or those which bundled come with CPUs run at 2-3k (I may be a little behind the times, but they did with the last one which came with a CPU I bought). I suspect that it will be able to be slowed, just like a standard fan, although probably not to the same extent (to maintain the air cushion). I guess it's something which would need investigating.
I can't beleive, though, the number of people who just seem to automatically poo-poo ideas like this. Whether they will work well in real life, or suit your specific needs, or will be economical to produce, they are interesting to read about.

BOFH: CSI Haxploitation Cube Farm Apocalypse
Yes, suspend disbelief
But appart from that an accurate post.
I have to say, in spite of the obvious inaccuracies, I love CSI (Vegas, not the spin offs). Grissom is a great character, his integrity and dedication to scientific process is an example to all of us. I know they "spice it up" but it's a great programme.

Antimatter hangs around at CERN
One theory is that an anti-proton is actually a proton travelling backwards through time. When the two collide, it is actually the proton being "reflected" in the time dimension by collision with a photon, so it looks like the 2 are converted to photons.
I didn't read too much about it, so the details are fuzzy... and this was only one theory about them.

Oracle drops OpenOffice on Apache, shuns forkers
Up to a point
I agree that the majority of human kind is selfish, and will ultimately do things in their own interests. This is why capitalism "works", at least better than the implementations of the alternatives we have had so far.
However, the point of FOSS is not always altruism. In many case it is because it works, at least for the developers involved.
Let us say you need/want a specific feature in your office suite. Using a proprietry suite, you would have to request that feature from the supplier and hope they see enough commercial interest in developing it. Go to FOSS, and you can add it yourself, then make that feature available to the community. It is, in this case, a selfish motivation: you want it, so you make it. You get the benefit, but you also get the benefit of everyone elses contributions, and probably help from the community to ensure your contribution is up to the job (stable and works as expected). They will help improve it: not for altruistic reasons, but for their own benefit (even if it is just for their own ego).

Reg ed rattles the Red-Headed League
Know your audience
"How 'bout not being nasty to anyone for anything unless they really deserve it?"
What about "know your audience" combined with "don't be so easily offended"?
I am a polite person, and I rarely upset anyone. I do, however, take the piss out of friends and aquaintances when I think they can take it.
I have, on occasion, got it wrong and offended someone. Often this is because I didn't realise something was a touchy subject for the person involved. Mostly, they laugh it off, realising there was no malice in what I said, and then let me know later (at which point I feel very guilty and appologise profusely). I have also been on the other end, and try to do the same.
When someone is doing it out of malice, it is a completely different story. Fortunately I have found that this rarely happens (except at school, of course). My response is still the same however: treat it as a joke if you can, no matter how hurtful, or ignore it if you can't laugh it off.
I am not a strong person, and know how hurtfull things can be. But friends will avoid touchy subjects when taking the piss, and why do you care about the others?

Elite coder readies £15 programming gadget for schools
I'm guilty of it myself, cobbling together a mishmash of bash & perl to get a job done rather than writing an efficient C program.
I did enjoy my microcontroller programming course at Uni though, done ALL in assembler. It really taught you how things were structured at an underlying level, and gave me a sense of efficiency in code.
Unfortunately, I kinda missed out on the ZX81/C64 etc. age. My first computer was an Amiga (incidentally, a cousing got me interested in both Maths and Programming on that, writing a BASIC programme which drew spirograph-type pictures), and I played with my fathers x86 AutoCAD station*, but I think that uC course did a lot to help me understand efficient programming.
* Untill I stopped it working and cost him a days work.
Completely agree
"The problem is that office skills aren't education, they're training. And one problem with training over education is that it narrows the mind. If all you give kids about computers is Powerpoint, a lot of them aren't going to grasp the full potential, or be able to adapt to when we drop Powerpoint for something else.
"It's like teaching kids French by giving them a phrase book, or giving a ready-filled iPod and calling it a music lesson."
Taking this back to cars: I learned basic maintenance and repairs on my car from the beginning (BTW I'm not even 30 yet). I then learned more when I bought a Mini and became friends with a mechanic. Eventually I learned about the theory behind them in my degree course.
When learning to drive, you get taught what you need to pass the test (I have a big problem with this, at least motorcycle lessons are better, with most instructors teaching beyond that). However, understanding what is happening, and why you do this in this situation, is better than learning by rote.
Understanding why you change gear, why you need (in an older car) to release the brakes when the wheels lock, why a hole in the exhaust (or a horribly mismatched "loud" exhaust) hurts performance and economy, and why tyre pressures need to be correct (just as a few examples) has helped me immensely in driving. Understanding the Otto & Deisel cycles and other in-depth topics has not helped as much, but still adds more information with which to make descisions.
Back to computing, if someone learns about "what's under the hood" (in abstaract terms, at least) they are more likely to be better able to opperate the machine. If they just learn how to use MS Office, their skills are non-transferable and they will have a much harder time adapting to other tools they must use later.

End of the tether: Google plays nice with carriers
RE: Giffgaff
"I believe the GG limitation is due to thier resale of the O2 service. I very much doubt they would have added thsi limit themselves as they do NOT offer any option to enable tethering or use a GG sim in a dongle."
I'm on GG myself, and I also have no problem with the tethering restriction.
However, AFAIK the reason for "no tethering" has been because they do not charge for data. Granted, this is changing, but on bundles they allow unlimitted data for phone use. This is not unlimitted but limitted, as with most providers. It means that, from my phone, I can use as much data as I wish and not be charged.
It is much easier to consume a large amount of data from a real computer than from a phone. Granted, you could use, say, a bittorrent app on your phone and download a lot, but restrictive storage and other limitations makes things difficult.
I don't think this is an unreasonable condition.
PS I beleive they are currently looking into tethering goodybags.
Books biz talks up Kindle effect
Twice the price
Yep, that's it exactly.
My personal belief is that the eBook ex. VAT price should be no more than the cheapest paper copy currently available. So, for a new release, set it at (at most) the cost of the Hardback+VAT, when the paperback comes out drop it to a max of the cost of the paperback +VAT.
I also agree that VAT on eBooks is rediculous, but that's how it is. I can accept that (for now...) although it should change.

Microsoft Will Lose a War With Apple; So Will Google
Apple fights this phantom battle with one hand tied behind its back. It does not farm its OS out to the world. Imagine if, tomorrow, Apple said to all hardware producers, you can have iOS. Android's market share would plummet. And no tech geek can tell me otherwise.
Put Microsoft on Research in Motion (RIMM)-watch.
The only thing that keeps me from saying the same about Google is that, in many ways, the company does beat to its own drummer. It dominates search and does a nice job diversifying what is, for all intents and purposes, its sole revenue stream -- advertising.
That said, when Apple stumbles, as it did with "MappleGate," and when it falls, don't blame Google or Microsoft. It will not have been either company's fault.At the time of publication, the author held no positions in any of the stocks mentioned in this article.

Presenting in surround really makes the experience so much better. Jazz typically lends itself to doing surround, because you generally have a real audience and real musicians. It is not heavily post-produced.

Results tagged ' Harmon Killebrew '
First, thank you to those of you who read my blog and to the nice comments I have received. It's fulfilling for me to be a part of MLB Network both on television and on the internet. Keeps me in touch with the game and those of you who love it like I do.
Some former players can walk away from it and not miss it. Some leave it and later wish they could get back in in some capacity. I have been fortunate to stay involved in some form as a player, coach, TV analyst and blogger, as well as making appearances for establishments like the Bob Feller Museum and other firms that ask me to appear at baseball functions for the past 55 years.
I am looking forward to my fourth season — hard to believe it's MLB Network's fourth year already — working with my partner and friend, Bob Costas, on several games, as well as appearing in the studio from time to time.
2011 was an exciting year for baseball, climaxed by that memorable final day of the season and then the surprises and drama of Postseason heroics by the Cardinals and David Freese.
It was interesting to anticipate and guess who some of the award winners would be. All very deserving and not totally unexpected. I wish with all my heart that Ryan Braun will be cleared of any wrongdoing. He is some player and had been a model of good behavior. I wish Prince Fielder could stay in Milwaukee. Those fans deserve another shot at having a championship team. Probably fantasy on my part.
The season, as all seasons do, had its sad moments. My friend and former teammate , Harmon Killebrew, passed away in May. It was an honor to speak at his memorial service in Minneapolis. Harm is probably the most admired and respected athlete in Midwest sports history, and the comments I got from friends and colleagues about him being the most humble and polite Hall of Famer are true. A gentle giant as a slugger, yet relatively small in physical stature. Just 5'10", but powerful. Thanks to MLB.com for remembering all of those in the baseball family who passed away in 2011.
I wish all of you a safe New Year's weekend and a healthy, happy 2012. I hope your team has a good year and keeps and holds your interest right to the end.
With the wild card (and eventually wild cards, plural) it giving more teams hope, my wish is that the decision-makers reward the division winners with home games, more rest for the pitchers, or whatever it takes to give them a decided advantage in Postseason play. It's nice for fans to see what teams like the Cardinals did last year, but the most difficult thing to do in sports is to excel over an entire season. You have to overcome injuries, slumps by hitters and pitchers and grueling travel at times to win when you're not at full strength. A lot of teams could win a World Series these days if they qualified by just having a streak like the Cardinals but you have to perform over six months — not just two weeks — to win a division.
It won't be long until we hear or read those magic words: "Pitchers and catchers report tomorrow!" I hope I can hear it for many more years.
Happy New Year!
Whew! A day or two off might be a welcome relief
Wow! Can't remember seeing so many bizarre things happen in one game! And… it's the World Series!
Mix-ups, miscommunications, unusual moves, unusual results.
First, I always believe that managers know their players and what they can and can't do better than any of us. I can only comment on what I would do if I were pitching or what I learned from watching players that I played with and against and managers that I played for and apply that knowledge to try to figure out what is going on between the lines and in the minds of those involved down on the field.
Last night's game was a second-guesser's delight. Lots of things to question players and managers about. Here are some of the things that puzzled me and what I would have wanted to ask some of the participants about:
Let's start with the result. Texas won 4-2, but it didn't seem as "clean" or well played game that a 4-2 score would indicate.
C.J. Wilson walked through a minefield of base runners through five innings to survive by surrendering just two runs. Not all his fault. The Rangers were a little sloppy with their fielding. I cringed when he came out for the 6th.
Chris Carpenter deserved to be the winning pitcher. The curve to Adrian Beltre just a smidge too high and a smidge too much inside. Other than that pitch and the one Mitch Moreland smoked, he was terrific. Give up two solo home runs in that park to that lineup, and you'll win probably eight out of 10 times.
So why would Albert or Tony put a hit-and-run sign on with Albert hitting? I ask because when I played with Hall of Fame slugger Harmon Killebrew, he never wanted the runners to be in motion when he was at bat. First, they were already in scoring position, because Harm was one of the most dangerous home run threats of his era. He hit 573 of them. Secondly, when the runners were in motion, it distracted him… and tempted him to swing at close pitches he would normally not swing at. Like most power hitters, he hit into a lot of double plays. So what. Maybe the purpose of the hit-and-run has changed, but during my era of playing, the hit-and-run's purpose was to make the middle infielders move and open up a hole to get runners on first and third. Staying out of the DP was secondary.
I'm puzzled in learning that Albert puts on a hit-and-run sign a lot. Didn't think it would be necessary. Also, the hit-and-run usually is easier to execute when you have a pitcher that is a) almost always around the plate with his pitches; and b) quite easy easy to make contact with his pitches. Feliz is neither. He misses the strike zone by a lot, and he's difficult for a hitter to make contact.
I would never suspect a hitter of Albert's caliber would use the hit-and-run a lot. I know he doesn't strike out as much as he walks or as much as most home run hitters do, but from a pitcher's point of view i think I'd rather have him hit-and-run and try to make contact than to sit on a pitch, take a balanced swing and cost me two runs with a homer.
I have seen that the purpose of the hit and run has changed from what its intention was when guys like Luis Aparicio and Nellie Fox used it in the 50s for the White Sox or Dick Groat when he hit second for the Cardinals and Pirates. Fox struck out 13 times in 1959 in over 600 ABs, Groat 35 times in 1960 in over 600 ABs. Both guys won MVP awards. That was the typical hit-and-run type batter. Soooooo, that's why it's puzzling to see a hitter like Albert use it. He's certainly capable of making contact, except against Feliz it's a low percentage.
Now, about the bullpen mixup… It's a stadium design flaw if the bullpens are not in view of the team dugout. Manager and pitching coach should be able to see who is or isn't warming up. When the phones broke down years ago, we'd have individual signals from the bench for each reliever. Make a big circle with your hands if he was a little heavy; stroke your chin if he had a beard; arm up high for the taller of the two lefties. Plenty of ways to do it.
When the bullpen and dugout phones were connected to the stadium switchboard, they had three-digit extensions. The directory was on a card on the wall in the dugouts and the bullpens. In Detroit, the home bullpen was down the left field line, and the guys in the home dugout couldn't see it. The Tigers' late inning pitcher was lefty Hank Aguirre. As a starting pitcher, I would get bored and restless on the days I wasn't pitching, so I'd sneak down to the pen. Drove the bullpen coach crazy. Clyde McCullough or Bob Oldis or whoever it was at the time.
One day we got a couple of runners on base and, for fun, I decided to call the Tiger pen and in a muffled, disguised voice I quickly said, "Get Aguirre up," and hung up. He got up and started to warm up. It was the 4th inning. They recognized it after a short time and sat him down.
Lots of bullpen pranks went on in those days. The late Moe Drabowsky tried to order Chinese takeout to be deilvered to the bullpen one day. I never imagined things like what happened in last night's bullpen mix-up could happen with today's technology. I admire Tony La Russa for being very cool about it after the game. I can only imagine how he felt not having Motte ready to pitch to Napoli instead of "Scrabble."
Now, "Wash"… Was it really just a gut feeling and you hoped he'd get lucky, or you liked the way the stars were aligned when you allowed Murphy to bat against the lefty? If it was fielded cleanly, it would've, should've, could've been a double play. That would have been an interesting answer to get from him if that happened.
But it didn't. The Rangers got a break and eventually won the game even after a hit batsman and a walk. And the game ended on a strikeout that could have resulted in all kinds of trouble for Texas, as Mike Napoli had to chase the ball down the first base line and flip it to first for the final out. That ball could have gone in a different direction easily.
All in all…Carpenter pitched well enough to win. Wilson worked his way out a lot of situations where the Cardinals could have broken the game open and led by a lot. Credit him for that. It's always an interesting topic: Was it poor hitting or good pitching? The guy is their ace and won 16 games. That didn't happen by accident…
I think both managers may have interesting decisions to make tonight or tomorrow regarding their starting pitchers, because the early report is that Game 6 may be postponed and played on Thursday. That would be a nice break for the Cardinals. If it goes seven, Carpenter might be available to start that game. Derek Holland could come back for Texas fresh off his gem on Sunday night.
This baseball is a great game, isn't it? Can't wait to see Game 6, whenever that is played.
Great Sunday Sports day
Beautiful day yesterday for the sports fan….Here in New England we got to watch Tom Brady do what he has been doing for a decade. Lead the Patriots to victory with an efficient exhibition of accurate passing and intelligent play calling. I watched Ben Crane come from 8 shots back with 11 holes left to play and comeback to win a PGA event in a playoff. And then, to top it off, the St. Louis Cardinals beating the Milwaukee Brewers to complete the most improbable comeback in my lifetime of baseball history to win the National League pennant.
I look forward to comparing the Cardinals and Texas Rangers before Wednesday night's World Series opener but today I'd like to pay homage to the way these individuals and teams conducted themselves when they won and as they performed.
A sportscaster and excellent play by play hockey announcer , Al Shaver, did a sports wrap up show on WCCO radio in Minneapolis in the late 60's. I have never forgotten his closing tag line and I always kept in fresh in my mind during my playing career. He said, " This is Al Shaver saying "When you lose say little, when you win…say less." Beautiful! When will athletes get that attitude? Nyjer Morgan and Zack Grienke of the Brewers and the over the top "look at me" NFL players doing their personal sack or touchdown dances like Cam Newton yesterday. He's doing great but is his team winning?
I got a chance up close to see how the NY Yankees in the 60's with Roger and Mickey and Whitey acted when they won and the Orioles in the late 60's. Brooks and Frank Robinson and company…pure class. they carried themselves with dignity and humility. Those seem to be forgotten qualities today for athletes. Now I understand spontaneous joy and celebration. That's normal in today's games versus years ago when it wasn't accepted. You were tabbed as a "Showboat" or in baseball, a "Hot Dog" if you showed emotion when you did something special.
Of course, now it doesn't have to be special. just an ordinary tackle or hit or strikeout seems to merit a big celebration. I watched Alan Page of the Vikings and Sandy Koufax of the Dodgers and Harmon Killebrew, my teammate for 16 years with the Minnesota Twins do great things and act like it was just something they were supposed to do not celebrate like they helped achieve world peace or found a cure for cancer.
So…here's to Tom Brady, who was shown on the bench after leading his team to victory, sitting almost expressionless, acting like he just did something that was very routine and didn't need props to massage his ego. And to Ben Crane, who gave his fellow competitor, Webb Simpson, a hug and a pat after Simpson missed a putt to give Ben the victory in the McGladrey's classic. And most of all to the St. Louis Cardinals players and their manager, Tony La Russa, who talked about their heart and character and praised their opponent.
Maybe I'm too old fashioned to accept today's showboats and hotdogs and occasionally arrogant athletes, but I'll never waver from my agreeing with Al Shaver. When you lose say little, when you win…say less.

2013 IIHS Safest Vehicles 2011 IIHS Safest Vehicles
UPDATE August 15, 2012: Only two of eleven luxury cars pass new IIHS frontal crash test. Click here to see which models failed.
In addition to performance, features, and price, car buyers are increasingly concerned with safety, which is why a high ranking in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's annual safety tests translates into sales. The IIHS publishes data on the safest cars every year, putting new models through a battery of tests and naming the Top Safety Picks based on their crashworthiness in different situations, including:
Frontal offset test: In this test, a vehicle travels toward a deformable barrier made of honeycomb aluminum at 40 mph and strikes it in such a way that 40 percent of the vehicle hits the barrier on the driver's side.
Side impact test: A 3300-pound barrier, about the weight of an SUV, hits the driver's side of the test vehicle at 31 mph. The IIHS says this is a pretty severe test, and that people in comparable real-world crashes would be unlikely to emerge uninjured. But vehicles that pass the test give passengers a better chance of surviving without serious injuries.
Roof strength test: In this test a metal plate is pushed against one side of the roof at a constant speed. To earn a good rating the roof has to withstand a force of four times the vehicle's weight before reaching five inches of crush.
Bumper evaluations: In addition to these tests, the IIHS conducts bumper evaluations that simulate low-speed collisions between two cars, and measures the geometry of the head restraints to see how well the vehicle protects occupants from neck injuries in a rear-end collision.
According to IIHS.org, "In all, 69 cars, 38 SUVs, 5 minivans, and 3 pickups earn Top Safety Pick. The award recognizes vehicles that do the best job of protecting people in front, side, rollover, and rear crashes based on ratings in Institute evaluations. The ratings, which cover all 4 of the most common kinds of crashes, help shoppers pick vehicles that offer the highest levels of crash protection. Because the federal government now requires all 2012 and later passenger vehicles to have electronic stability control to help drivers avoid loss-of-control crashes, ESC no longer is a requirement to win as it was in prior years."
We'll update the list with the newest rankings as they become available, so bookmark this page and come back often to see if the car you're thinking of buying has earned a safety good grade. See the list of vehicles below the video.
