There we were, posting about the International Photography Awards, when Blurbarian Wendy Farrow let us know that her book took Honorable Mention in the competition's Fine Art Books category. Although she is an established photographer and artist living in Paris, this was her very first Blurb book. And it was chosen out of 20,000 entries from over 90 countries.
Wendy spent 18 months researching her options before selecting Blurb to create her book, Someone Else's Eyes, Photography and Sculpture by Wendy Farrow. We contacted her to find out how she approached this project and asked her for suggestions that might help others with similar goals.
Why did you choose Blurb?
As a former web developer, I immediately appreciated the software interface, the cover and content layout suggestions, as well as the user-friendly Web site for both author and customer. If I had to learn a page-making program and figure out what page the copyright notices are supposed to be on, I'm pretty sure my book would still be on the 'to do' list.
What was the bookmaking process like for you as an artist?
Never having put a book together before, it was a much more challenging process than I had anticipated. I was anxious at first, not knowing where to begin. There are an endless number of decisions regarding content, flow, pace, design, copy, introduction, chapters, etc. They all have to work together to make the content shine through. Like a movie, you can have a great script but if the editing is poor, the story is lost.
Once I began importing images and placing them, I felt more confident. The BookSmart software is amazing for helping you visualize the finished product. That kept me going.
What content and layout advice do you have for photographers and artists?
In terms of content and flow, imagine that you are presenting the book page by page to an audience. How would you pace it and space it? What would you say or not say to hold their interest? Emotional reaction to color is an important consideration, and so is the juxtaposition or sequence of the images, so select with that in mind. Remember that it is not just a collection of images in a convenient package, it is an experience.
So, how does one celebrate an acknowledgement from the International Photography Awards? If you're Wendy, you present a signed copy of your book to the grandniece of master sculptor Camille Claudel, the artist who inspired the raw emotional tones of Wendy's sculptures. It's pretty cool to think a Blurb book made its way into the hands of someone with that familial connection to art history.
Wendy, here's to your continued success. Congratulations on your honor and thanks for sharing your story with us.
Have any of your books received awards or special attention in the media? We're very interested, so post a comment and let us know about it. We might follow up and interview you for some tips.

Answer #1munkyrench December 29, 2008, 08:56Master
You will need to look at the owners manual for the fuse location. You may want to look at the brake light switch, if for some reason the shop was working in that area, they may have bumped the switch and affected the adjustment, causing the brake lights to stay on.
Answer #2Andy Y December 29, 2008, 16:25Master
When I changed the vacuum brake booster on my truck I had this problem. If I pulled the brake pedal up (towards me) with my foot the brake lights would go out. The 240's have the brake (stop lamp) switch on the brake pedal assembly. It is a momentary push button switch that has threads and a lock nut for adjustment.

Humidity 58%
Winds 20.7mph
Aug 30, 2012 12:12 PM by MTN News
Buddy Quaid and his wife were hiking to Pine Creek Lake yesterday afternoon, when a member of the Forest Service tracked the pair down.
"He told us they were looking for us," Quaid said. "We had to run the last 2 miles out of there. The walls of fire and smoke were closing in fast."
According to the Park County Sheriff's Office, the fire started around 2 p.m. Wednesday afternoon on Roach Juan Road South of Pine Creek. High Winds and low humidity fueled the fire, which quickly spread into the nearby timber.
Quaid was able to take some pictures while running to safety.
"We safely made it out," he stated in an email to KBZK.
The fire burning in Pine Creek in Paradise Valley has grown to 2,500 acres. About 70 residences have been evacuated, with others put on alert. Evacuess are being sent to the Livingston Civic Center.

March '11 Book List
Written by elaney, Posted in book list
Spring break is here, and you need some reading recos. This March, we split our time with 2 parts chick lit and 1 part heady.
Orange is the New Black
Piper Kerman
This is the story of a woman's year in Danbury, a minimum security federal prison, after her college girl crimes caught up to her a year later. This was a reco from Reader Betsy, and truth be told, the only reason I started reading it was because it was on my bedside table, and I left my other book in the car. However, it's absolutely fascinating. Such an honest look at a subculture that we think we have a perception of but we really don't. Plus, Piper is relatable and insightful. Final Verdict: "Slam"mer Dunk.
There's Cake In My Future
Kim Gruenfelder
By the author who wrote my two all time fav beach reads, Misery Loves Cabernet and Total Waste of Makeup, we were excited to give this one a try. Set in LA (always fun), it has the same witty fast paced tone as her other two, but the plot is just too unbelieveable. A bunch of bridesmaids pull charms from a cake and their future changes forever? Please. Final Verdict: Pass…and not the fork.
The Perfect Manhattan
Tracey Toomey and Leanne Sheer
Story of a cash challenged Columbia grad who gets swept away by bartending at the hottest club in the Hamptons. Parts of it were really entertaining, but let's just say, the authors do nooooooot have much respect for the patrons of the Hamptons, and sometimes they went on some soapbox rants that were not very beachread friendly! Who wants to talk about Bosnia at a birthday party? Final Verdict: On the Rocks.

Peter and the guys at BugLabs were kind enough to loan us a BUGbundle for use at Barcamp Nairobi coming up this Saturday. It's great to see such an active community, and we're excited about doing some fun things in the coming week.
A couple of us are getting together this coming week to try and hack something to show there, including:
Wilfred Mworia
We're going into the brainstorming process now. Trying to come up with something that has some context to Africa, but might also be useful elsewhere. Any ideas would be welcome!

Sweet! Welcome! and welcome to Wilfred, Brian, Jessica and Erik. Let us know if we can be of any help. Please drop into our IRC channel on irc.freenode.net at #buglabs to get realtime responses to any questions you might have. Happy hacking. :wink:

Hey there,
Looks like we missed you guys on our IRC channel. Time differences. :roll:
What is the version of the SDK you're using? On the BUG we got ready for you, I put our newest release of the RootFS and kernel, so the BUG libraries on your BUG should be the latest and greatest.
In eclipse, go to Help->About->Click on the Dragonfly icon. That will tell you the version number you're using. If it's 126.96.36.199 of production, or >305 of Testing, it should have all of the latest Accelerometer functionality.
In the case that you have an earlier release version (126.96.36.199), I would point you to our newest release (220.127.116.11) at http://buglabs.net/sdk/production/current/, which, if you use as an external site for features in eclipse, should upgrade automatically.
In the event that your SDK is cranky, you may want to uninstall your Dragonfly version by going to Help->Software Updates->Manage Configuration, expand the configuration until you see Dragonfly. Right click on the Dragonfly SDK node and select Uninstall. Restart eclipse, and go through the process of installing the SDK as normal, pointing to our latest production release. This should conclusively update your version.
Hope that does it for you, and let me know how it works out.

I've never been a huge fan of Prada Outlet, but as I searched for Michael Kors Outlet best on the market right now, I started to rethink my aversion to the Coach outlet. Because sometimes a new Hermes UK isn't enough for a whole new you. (Want us to outfit your alter ego or your alternate reality?These coach outlet online may not be the exact Michael Kors Watches pieces, but damn did I look hard for Supra Footwear.We have to give up thinking that coach factory outlet online are acceptable for Coach Outlet that happens between 5:00pm on a Friday and 8:00am on a Monday. Then pull the straps off, and Coach Outlet Online: you've suddenly got yourself a super-cool, little top-handled Michael Kors bags and Coach outlet store online sales. I'm not sure that every Supra Shoes on this list pulls it off. Prada Shoes, for example, does a better job on some of its kobe shoes than others, and I can't say I'm feeling the extra-wide Prada Bags option at all. The blue http://www.prada.com/ Prada Outlet and http://www.suprafootwearsales.net/ supra footwear up top? Sign me up. I've gotten my steps down to a science and the whole she-bang takes me about 15 minutes to apply.

Looking for signs of a network attack
If you think your systems are too obscure for an attacker to worry about, think again. Today's intruders are happy for any victim.
Are your doors locked? Is you data safe? In the beginning, the first network intruders were just playing around. They slipped in just to prove they could – as an intellectual challenge or maybe a chance to feel brave. Times have changed, though, and if you care about security, you'd better change with them. Today's systems hold critical information with a cash value – credit card numbers, medical records, email addresses. And the system itself can become a tool of the intruder. Cyber-criminals employ sophisticated techniques to commandeer perfectly ordinary computers for forwarding spam and launching denial of service attacks. And the teenage vandals? They are still out there also. To stay ahead of them all, you'll need to know what they know – and you'll need to know how to look for their tracks. We'll show you what to look for in this month's Detecting Intruders cover story.

Dial down the chronic pain of arthritis with these simple mind-body practices
(17 Photos)
Laurie Tarkan and Laura Flynn McCarthy
Jun 12, 2012 at 1:12PM
Chronic pain is both physical and psychological, so certain ways of thinking can make it worse, says Ingela Symreng, Psy.D., director of psychology for the department of anesthesiology and pain medicine at the University of California at Davis. "Fear, anxiety and depression around pain may cause more suffering than the actual physical pain condition," she says. Chronic pain is like a broken alarm system, she explains, designed to trigger a "fight or flight" response. That works great if you touch something hot—it hurts, so you pull your hand away. With chronic pain, however, you can't get rid of the discomfort, so you're left with an intense, unrelenting focus on it and a surfeit of adrenalin, which causes anxiety. "You have to retrain your brain to react differently to these signals," says Dr. Symreng. This is the crux of cognitive behavioral therapy, which can be highly effective in reducing pain, but you can learn these techniques on your own. Here are five common responses to pain that make it worse—and what you can do to change them.

MENOMONEE FALLS, Wis.–Kohl's registered net income of $194 million for the third quarter ending Oct. 30, one-half of 1 percent above the retailer's net for last year's third quarter.
The company's flat bottom-line performance occurred largely because of an 8.4 percent bump up in selling, general and administrative expenses—which also finished the quarter at 26.4 percent of net sales, 100 basis points ahead of last year. Net sales rose 4.1 percent in the quarter to $4.2 billion, including a same-store sales increase of 1.8 percent. Gross margin gained 50 basis points to 38.5 percent.
Kevin Mansell, Kohl's chairman, president and chief executive officer, said the pickups in total sales and same-store sales led to further market-share gains for the retailer in the quarter. Mansell said the increase in expenses was actually less than the company originally planned, reflecting the company's discipline in managing expenses.
Kohl's said fourth-quarter sales will likely rise by from 4.5 to 6.5 percent, with same-store sales edging up 2 to 4 percent. The last quarter's gross margin is expected to increase by 20 to 40 basis points, and SG&A should rise by 3 to 4 percent.

Cristiano Ronaldo
He's probably the most high-profile player in the world of soccer, and earlier today Cristiano Ronaldo began training with his Real Madrid teammates in Madrid, Spain.
Mr. Ronaldo looked to be in fine form as he ran drills at Valdebebas Sportive Stadium, smiling for the paparazzi during his breaks.
After being introduced as Real Madrids FC's summer signing, Cristiano Ronaldo was spotted arriving back in Madeira, Portugal on Tuesday afternoon (July 7).
Surrounded by fans and photographers, the soccer stud made the trip from Madrid following medical tests and a glitzy presentation ceremony held on Monday night.
Greeting his new fan base, Cristiano Ronaldo was introduces as number 9 for the Real Madrid soccer team at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, Spain on Monday (July 6).
After taking a medical test earlier in the day, the reigning league MVP was welcomed by 40,000 fans as he spoke at the podium and showed off his skills.
Known for having eyes for the ladies, Cristiano Ronaldo has recently set his sights on a rather interesting female.
The soccer stud is reportedly dating wild child/model, Raffaella Fico, who stunned the world by putting her virginity up for auction less than a year ago at one million euros.
He's gearing up for what's sure to be a killer season with his new team, Real Madrid, and Cristiano Ronaldo is making sure he's fully prepared.
Earlier today (July 6) he was spotted arriving for his medical examination in Madrid, ahead of his presentation in front of a record number of fans at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
Getting in some quality time with his family, Cristiano Ronaldo was spotted at a two-mansion cottage at Vale Do Lobo in Portugal on Friday (June 26).
The international soccer stud looked relaxed as he enjoyed the beautiful weather of the Algarve Coast, hanging out shirtless with a necklace and a baseball cap.
Finished up with his trip to the States, Cristiano Ronaldo was spotted enjoying a sunny day in Vale do Lobo, Portugal on Monday (June 22).
The soccer stud graciously greeted press while outside of a rented house shared by family and friends.
It's no secret that he's the hottest player in international soccer, and yesterday (June 16) Cristiano Ronaldo was spotted sans shirt in Beverly Hills.
The super sexy soccer stud looked tanned and toned as he sauntered around his hotel pool in a short red bathing suit along with a gold necklace.
Showing off his affinity for designer labels, Cristiano Ronaldo was spotted out to dinner at Beso in Los Angeles yesterday evening (June 15).
The most expensive soccer player in the history of the sport flaunted his collection of Gucci attire including a jacket, belt, and handbag as he strolled past the paparazzi.
Taking advantage of his downtime in Los Angeles, Cristiano Ronaldo was spotted hitting up Villa nightclub for an exciting evening last night (June 9).
The Manchester United soccer stud looked uber-stylish as he made his way through the crowd of paparazzi, sporting a leather jacket with a white v-neck, dark wash jeans, and white sneakers.

"This isn't an Xs and Os thing. It's a lack of effort and execution," bemoaned the frustrated Bear mentor after his squad wrapped up the regular season with a 41-11 trip to the East Hamilton woodshed. "Even in the Soddy-Daisy game (a 36-7 victory), we didn't look good in the second half."
"It seems like the last few weeks, we've just been going through the motions without any passion," Coach Floyd assessed. "We are not playing for each other right now, like we were earlier in the season. We need to quit pouting (over close losses to Cleveland and Ooltewah) and stop looking for excuses."
After an opening-season loss at Polk County, Bradley bounced back to win four straight games, but finished the season with just one victory in its last five outings to finish at .500.
While the Bear seniors are the first in school history to make the playoffs (which started in 1969) each of their four seasons, they will travel to face 14-time state champion Maryville in Friday night's postseason opener.
The 10-0 Rebels have been the top-ranked team in the Associated Press Class 6A Top 10 all season and have played in the last nine state title games, winning six.
Eighth-ranked East Hamilton (8-2, 5-1) tied with No. 6 Ooltewah (8-2, 5-1) and fifth-ranked Cleveland (7-3, 5-1) atop the District 5-AAA standings in its first year, but had to settle for the runner-up trophy in its first season in the league after the tie-breaker was applied. The Hurricanes will play host to Oak Ridge (7-3) in Friday's 5A playoff opening round (see related story this section for full playoff details).
Wasting no time in letting everyone know they came out with a purpose, East Hamilton scored on its first three possessions Friday night.
After a failed onside kick to open the contest, the Hurricanes needed just five plays to find the end zone. Senior quarterback Hunter Moore connected with speedy classmate Tony Francois for the first of the pair's three touchdowns on the evening, this one covering 31 yards just 135 seconds into the contest.
The hosts got another quick chance when they stripped the ball from a Bear ball carrier on the first play after the ensuing kickoff and then march 33 yards to paydirt with Moore doing the honors himself from a yard out with less than six minutes into the game.
After Bradley's second offensive possession went for 13 plays, a sack on a fourth-and-11 at the 'Cane 28 gave the ball back to the hosts, who needed just two plays to score again — this time on a 64-yard hooked between Moore and Francois less than a minute into the second quarter.
After the teams traded punts, the Bears finally got on the scoreboard. Starting on its own 29, Bradley needed just five plays to get into the Red Zone, thanks to a 29-yard pass from senior Brett Standifer to junior Daniel Clark. However, after advancing just three more yards in three plays, the Black-and-Gold had to settle for a 31-yard field goal off the foot of senior Clayton Steels with 3:46 left in the first half.
The Bears looked like they were going to get right back into the contest when senior Austin Foss picked off a Hurricane pass on the second play after the ensuing kickoff, but two plays later the second of five Bradley turnovers on the evening gave the hosts a short field with plenty of time on the clock for another score.
Vanderbilt commitment Tre Herndon carried the ball in from nine-yards out on a reverse pitch for the fourth 'Cane score of the opening half and a 27-3 advantage at the intermission.
After the break, Bradley took the second-half kickoff and marched into the Red Zone, including a 32-yard pass from Standifer to senior Cal Pickel, but once again was denied and a 27-yard field goal attempt went wide.
Adding insult to injury, Moore and Francois hooked up for an 80-yard touchdown on the very next play.
Bradley responded by heading right back to the Red Zone with a 55-yard pass to Pickel on the first play after the kickoff and then a 10-yard connection to Clark, but a pair of 15-yard penalties moved them the wrong way and the black-and-gold eventually turned the ball over on downs.
East Hamilton's final scoring drive of the night was set up by another interception, leaving them just 41 yards away from paydirt. Third-string running back Kendall Henderson covered the final six yards to set the running clock rule in order.
Freshman quarterback Cole Copeland took over the reigns of the Bear offense for the final quarter, hitting Clark with a 28-yard pass to start things off, but he too was picked off when the ball was taken away from a receiver.
Bradley got the ball back a few moments later when senior linebacker Eduardo Trevino stripped the ball away from a 'Cane running back. Copeland hit a wide open Tyler Carpenter on the following play for a 50-yard touchdown, then found Crisp on a fade route for the two-point conversion with 3:17 remaining.
Actually in the stat sheet, the Bears out gained the hosts 402-379 and had two more first downs (16-14), but the trio of interceptions and a pair of lost fumbles gave the 'Canes the advantage in field position.
Copeland finished with 7-of-10 passing for 134 yards, plus carried the ball three times for 24 yards, all in the final frame. Standifer had over 200 yards of total offense, completing 10-of-30 passes for 188 and gaining 14 yards on eight carries.
Pickel pulled in a trio of passes for 98 yards, while Clark 86 on five receptions. Carpenter gained 63 yards on a pair of catches, with senior Logan Fetzner adding 71 total yards (44 on 10 carries and 27 on three receptions).
Moore completed 8-of-13 passes for 221 yards, 182 of which went to Francois on four catches, three of which went into the end zone. Filling in for starting tailback Matt Milita, who missed the game with a thigh injury, David Whiteside had 16 carries for 88 yards to lead the 'Cane rushing attack.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Immobilizer problems resonate
Readers can relate to man's struggles with device, MPI
The story of Winnipegger Eugene Skotniczy, who had his immobilizer removed from his truck because he blamed it for constant stalling problems, touched a nerve with readers this weekend. MPI cancelled his insurance after he told them what he'd done.
Turns out he isn't the only taxpayer having immobilizer problems.
"My MPI immobilizer failed three years ago," wrote Ken Charleton. "The first one is free but not the replacement. Plus the tow, lost time and aggravation can add up quick. Mine lasted just over four years and CAA determined that it was defective. They charged me over $400 for a replacement.
"My truck was a 1997 F-150 and if I ever wanted to drive it again in Manitoba I had to have the immobilizer replaced. At the time, I wondered how many others were breaking but it was never in the news. You would think that CAA could tell you as each replacement appears to be subsidized by Autopac.
"I still drive my '97 F150 work truck. I expect in the next year or two to be stranded on some lonely highway in the bitter cold because my immobilizer has failed again. Is that worth a $40 discount on your insurance?"
So, MPI forces vehicle owners to have the immobilizers installed and, when they stop working, the motorist has to pay up? Hardly sounds fair to me.
From Justin Vechina:
"I have had the same issues with my '03 Silverado, which MPI refuses to repair. My truck refuses to start intermittently so I took it back to CAA where it was installed to have it inspected. They told me the immobilizer unit was failing and would need to be replaced. When I went to MPI with this information, they told me it was past the warranty so they would not cover any of the cost of having a new unit installed. Also, I have had to get my command start fixed five to six times because the immobilizer keeps making it lose its programming from the key cycling so many times. I think it is pretty brutal that we were forced to have these immobilizers installed and when they break and start messing up other things on our vehicles it is just too bad for us."
MPI stands by the program. They say auto thefts have dropped 80 per cent since the program began. The immobilizers come with a one-year warranty.
"Read your article and was reminded about my son's experience with his 2001 Alero," says reader Ron Falk. "It was the first car he ever purchased. It never gave him any issue or problem.
"Then, one year came the letter from MPI. They 'forced' him to install an immobilizer as well. For the first year it was OK, but then, he began to experience problems. Periodically, his vehicle would not start and there was absolutely nothing that could be done about it. He took it to a garage and of course it started and they also told him they couldn't do anything about it. We tried to boost his vehicle with jumper cables, and nothing. After a couple of times, he figured out that if he let it sit for 10 to 12 minutes, he could try to start it and then it would start. It could happen at -40 C or when it was pouring, or when he was in a hurry. One never knew. It was so frustrating for he eventually sold the car. Thanks MPI!"
Some helpful advice from Chris Greaves:
"I had a similar problem with my 1997 Suburban and the immobilizer. After trial and error and a few months of frustration, (the problem) was my hands-free device. The hands-free device works through the radio and has a little transmitter in it. When it is plugged in, the truck will often not start. It appears the hands-free interferes with the signal used by the immobilizer. Now I just make sure it is unplugged when I start the truck. Once running, I plug it back in."
Commentor Kaput offered this tale of woe:
"My own vehicle, an older model year with only 25,000 km on it, did the same thing. (N)obody was able to figure out what the issue was and it became dangerous, as my vehicle began to shut down while I was driving. I ended up selling it for just $500, because I'd spent thousands trying to get the issue fixed, and nobody knew what it was.
"The (buyer) got back to me a month later to say the immobilizer wasn't installed correctly, and it was otherwise perfect. I... went into debt for a new (used) vehicle I could actually drive because of the immobilizer installed incorrectly."
When I spoke to MPI about Skotniczy's troubles, they told me only one per cent of immobilizer users have reported problems. Those disgruntled drivers must all have read this column because I heard from scores of unhappy customers over the weekend. On the bright side, their vehicles won't be stolen because no one, not even the owners, can get them started.
Guess the program must work, huh?

About Lindor Reynolds
National Newspaper Award winner Lindor Reynolds began work at the Free Press as a 17-year-old proofreader. It was a rough introduction to the news business.
Many years later, armed with a university education and a portfolio of published work, she was hired as a Free Press columnist. During her 20-plus years on the job she has written for every section in the paper, with the exception of Business. She'll get around to them some day.
Lindor has received considerable recognition for her writing. Her awards include the Will Rogers Humanitarian Award, the National Society of Newspaper Columnists' general interest award and the North American Travel Journalists Association top prize.
Her work on Internet luring led to an amendment to the Criminal Code of Canada and her coverage of the child welfare system prompted a change to Manitoba Child and Family Services Act to make the safety of children paramount.
She has earned three citations of merit for the Michener Award for Meritorious Public Service in Journalism and has been awarded a Distinguished Alumni commendation from the University of Winnipeg. Lindor was also named a YMCA/YWCA Woman of Distinction.
She is married with four daughters. If her house was on fire and the kids and dog were safe, she'd grab her passport.

Things to do in Provence
Are you thinking about what to do in Provence? Then let Travel and Leisure guide you to the best activities for an unforgivable time in Provence. Apart from the obvious: enjoying the beautiful landscapes of the Southern France, there are many things to do in Provence.
Would you like to visit the places where history took place? Then visit the Palais des Papes and the famous the Pont d'Avignon, the Roman ruins in the charming village of Saint-Remy-de-Provence or the ancient stone village of Les Baux. Do you like adventure? Then visits to the Gran Canyon du Verdan and the beautiful Medieval town of Moustiers Sainte Marie are outstanding choices.
When thinking about what to do in Provence, it is impossible not to mention the Cezanne tour. An activity that will take you to the places where Cezanne once drank, ate and had fun. Watching a bull fight in the roman Arles, which once hosted gladiators fights is also among the things to do in Provence. If you are a person that enjoy spending time in museums then visit the Musée d'Art Classique de Mougins or the Musée Jean Cocteau Collection Sérverin Wudermen that are among the best museums in Provence.

NEW YORK (AP) -- A preliminary measurement of the nation's biggest markets shows ratings for this year's Academy Awards went up 6 percent over last year, yet the ABC telecast is still likely to be among the three least-watched Oscars ever.
Nielsen Media Research says its estimate of the Oscar audience's size will come later Monday. Last year's audience of 32 million was the smallest ever measured for an Oscar telecast.
Last year and in 2003, when "Chicago" won best picture before 33 million viewers, are the low-water marks for the annual show.
New York, Chicago and Los Angeles were the markets with the highest Oscar ratings Sunday.
ABC is owned by The Walt Disney Co.

One of the most exciting things to have happened in the last year has been the big new emphasis that we have been putting on Cycling in the Peak District. It was just a few months ago that John Grimshaw wrote to me suggesting we 'raise our game' on cycling. John had recently retired from being founder and Chief Executive of Sustrans, the transport charity and the driving force behind the National Cycle Network. John wanted to help make national parks more cycle-friendly. We were enthusiastic to work with him.
The last few months have been a rollercoaster with an enormous amount to do. I'm delighted that my colleagues have been so quick to develop the new project. We are doing lots to promote cycling, including the list of cycle-friendly activities below. This month, with our help, Visit Peak District launches Saddle Up for Summer – http://www.visitpeakdistrict.com/activities/saddle-up-for-summer.aspx with downloadable guides, detail on cycle-friendly accommodation and also excellent events.
A really good part of the Pedal Peak District is the opportunity to sign up to the excellent new Pedal Peak District website – http://www.pedalpeakdistrict.co.uk . This provides up to date information and allows keen cyclists or those new to cycling to experience the landscape by bike. You can sign up to find out about cycling opportunities near where you live and also get detail on cycle events.
An important part of the new cycling project is the ambitious project to open a traffic-free cycle way linking the railway stations in matlock and Buxton to the National Park. This long-term project has got off to a good start with funds from Cycling England, the Government's agency that promotes cycling – http://www.dft.gov.uk/cyclingengland . John Grimshaw has brokered this new agreement and we were delighted to welcome Cycling England's Board and staff to the Peak District last week.
Central to the cycling project is our close partnership with local organisations and especially Derbyshire County Council and so it was great to be able to show the Leader Cllr Andrew Lewer and his colleagues from the County some of our work. Much of the work has relied on help from the county council. For example, their highways lighting engineers are advising us on lighting for the Monsal Trail tunnels.
The Cycle Trail will create real economic advantages, indeed I'm delighted that the new cafe and bookstore has opened this week at Hassop Station and note that they plan to take advantage of the new cycleway. On Friday this week, members of the National Park Authority will consider a proposal to transfer the management of the Millers Dale Station to the Derbyshire Wildlife Trust. This will allow them to develop plans for a new visitor centre that will help visitors – mainly by bike – to experience the stunning environment of the Wye Valley and its rich wildlife. Details are at: http://resources.peakdistrict.gov.uk/ctte/services/reports/2010/100604Item6-1.pdf
Part of Pedal Peak District is about promoting cycling to people who have not cycled before and we are keen to do so with 'new audiences'. This is why I was enthusiastic when the Bishop of Derby wrote to me suggesting a cycling event in the Peak District to celebrate the environment. It was great to welcome Bishop Alastair and over 50 people from churches across Derbyshire last week for their Spirit and Creation event in which they celebrated biodiversity and the environment.
Rev'd Dave Bookless, the National Director of A Rocha UK, a leading Christian environmental charity which includes Eco-Congregations spoke to the group and joined us on a cycle tour of the Tissington Trail including stops to experience the biodiversity of the Peak District. A Rocha is a Christian nature conservation organisation, its name coming from the Portuguese for "the Rock," as the first initiative was a field study centre in Portugal. A Rocha projects are frequently cross-cultural in character, and share a community emphasis, with a focus on science and research, practical conservation and environmental education details at www.arocha.org .
Pedal Peak District is an exciting and challenging project and one that fits well with so many aims of the National Park. I'm sure that cycling has a great future and I'm particularly pleased to doing more to promote cycling is something firmly embedded in the new Coalition Government's plans. Future cycling events in the Peak District and details of how to book are detailed below.

New laptop for (Civil) Engineering student
My sister is starting university soon. She's gonna be studying Civil Engineering at Durham University (a British university).
I've been given the task of finding and buying a laptop for her. I've looked around on some websites, mainly ebay. I know quite a lot about computers (having built some for myself and family in the past) so don't really need anything explaining.
All I need to know is, as a student studying (Civil) Engineering, what kind of specs do you need? A friend of mine studied Architecture (not the same subject, but kinda related) and he remarked how he regretted not getting a more powerful computer (i.e. his gfx was only an Intel intergrated one etc.), and that he would sometimes have to wait for literally days to render a building.
Therefore, does my sis need powerful specs? I'm thinking of definitely getting something which is at least Core 2 Duo 1.6ghz+ and 2gb RAM, but the only thing I'm not sure about is whether I should stick with a gfx card which is intergrated (albeit Intel X3100+), or maybe something which is dedicated (i.e. Geforce 7300 Go or even the 8600).
I've checked around, and the Dell Vostro 1500s seem nice.
Could someone who knows something about (Civil) Engineering tell me something?

Re: New laptop for (Civil) Engineering student
1) What is your budget?
£400 - £700 (max)
2) What size notebook would you prefer?
Any (as long as it can handle software used by Civil Engineering students)
3) Please select your country's flag as a post icon and tell us what country are you buying this in.
United Kingdom
4) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like?
Any, but I've heard Dell aren't exactly known for (long-term) quality, which is not exactly a good thing
5) What tasks will you be performing with the notebook?
Run-of-the-mill daily stuff, such as watching movies, DVDs, listening to music etc. nothing special. She won't be playing Bioshock with all the effects turned on very high. HOWEVER, the computer must be able to run software used by Civil Engineering students quite sufficiently (whatever they may be).
6) Will you be taking the notebook with you to different places or leaving it on your desk?
Probably desk (I don't want her to have her laptop stolen)
7) Will you be playing games on it; if so, which games?
Not really. Like I said before, just for Civil Engineering software used by students.
8) How many hours of battery life do you need?
There will most likely be a plug socket nearby, so unnecessary.
9) Do you mind buying online without seeing the notebook in person?
I WILL be buying online (probably through ebay, if it's the cheapest).
10) What OS do you prefer? Windows (XP or Vista), Mac OS, Linux, etc.
Windows definitely. Vista included in the price would be good, but I've got a spare copy of XP so doesn't really matter.
Screen Specifics
Doesn't matter. Whatever is recommended for/used by Civil Engineering students is fine. Run of the mill 1280 x 1024 should be okay.
Build Quality and Design
14) Are the notebook's looks and stylishness important to you?
Nope. But naturally, it would be an added bonus.
15) When are you buying this laptop and how long do you want this laptop to last?
Soon. And naturally, should last quite a while. But like I've stressed before, the most important thing is that it should run software used by Civil Engineering students.
Notebook Components
16) How much hard drive space do you want; 40GB to 200GB?
Doesn't matter. I will be getting her a portable hard drive.
17) Do you need an optical drive? If yes, a DVD, Blu-Ray or HD-DVD drive?
A standard, normal, average DVD player is more than enough.

Re: New laptop for (Civil) Engineering student
I'm a civil engineer out in the "real world". I'm looking for a laptop myself but 99.9% of the need is not civil engineering related.
The first software concern to think about is what type of CAD (computer aided design) software your sister will (or may) need to use. AutoCAD is the most used in the industry, Microstation is another. When I was in school 10 years ago, I didn't "need" to have a CAD program except for when I had a sneior design class and needed to work late hours -- I had one CAD class and just used the computers at school.
Civil is a broad field with plenty of specific software for specific disciplines. She will probably study water, in which case water modelling for open channel and pipe flow will be studied. In the US, the Army Corps of Engineers has various HEC programs which are free to download and are used in the industry and school out here. Here's their link: http://www.hec.usace.army.mil/software/hec-ras/
Another software company in the water field is Haestad Methods: http://www.haestad.com/
Other areas that civil engineers branch out into are structural, traffic operations, surverying, geotechnical, etc. Each with their own industry software as a means to assist civil engineers in their own work.
My main thought in all of this is that these specific software used in school and the industry should all be Windows XP compatible, but you/she may run into problems with trying to run these in Vista. She may want to find out through the school what programs they use in the UK, then look them up and verify they will work with Vista. I don't know of any civil engineers using Vista in practice and I assume many of them will avoid it as they often use programs several years old (DOS even).
Having said all of that, when I was in school, being computer adept as a Civil Engineering student wasn't a requirement as much as understanding the theory and performing the math yourself to arrive at a design solution rather than relying on the software to do it for you. Having a computer with all the software installed used in the industry won't make you a good civil engineer either in school or in practice. If the school requires a student to be adept in CAD then I worry it's stressing producing students that are good at CAD but not in design.

Re: New laptop for (Civil) Engineering student
Civil engineers are starting to use 3D structural analysis programs. These will only improve and become more prominent with time.
I would get something with a fast CPU and decent 3D card, at least a 8400GT.
a lot of parametric programs will be very taxing on a computer and the display port will need a good graphic card to drive it.
BTW. Rendering is done with the CPU. more CPU the better. Infact 3d programs can utilise hundreds of CPU in a network..............i suppose thats why they are the first programs to benefit from dual core technology.

Re: New laptop for (Civil) Engineering student
I would look at a Lenovo, probably the T61p for this application. I say that because it uses the Nvidia Quadro GPU. This is the same as the 8600m that you see listed on the Dells and quite a few other offerings but the difference between the Quadro and the gaming cards is that it has more options for OpenGL enabled and is geared towards CAD type applications. I would also recommend at least a Dual Core 2 running at 2+ Ghz. Minimum of 2 gigs RAM also required for this application.
So basically you're looking for something with a Quadro 570 card.
I configured this system over at Lenovo for $1514, which if my math is correct, should be right around 700 British pounds.
*Note* I upgraded the CPU, battery and memory from the base config.

Applying to Our Program
These are the steps necessary to apply to our program:
- Read about this summer's projects to decide which interest you.
- Find two faculty members who can write recommendation letters for you.
- Write your CV and Personal statements and convert them to PDF (see below).
- Obtain a PDF copy of your unofficial transcript.
- Complete the web-based application form where you will be asked to submit your CV and Personal Statements as well as provide details about the projects you're interested in and your academic preparation.
Students should submit their application form before Friday, February 28, 2014. All application materials (including the student application and letters of recommendation) must be received by Sunday, March 9, 2014.
A small portion of our applicant pool may be offered an "early decision" option, so we encourage applicants not to wait until the the last moment to apply — sooner is better!.
Also, when you submit your application, our system will send out email solicitations to your recommenders asking them to use our system to submit their recommendation letters, so you'll need to allocate enough time for them to do that.
Personal Statement
Your personal statement is an important part of your application. When you apply, you will need to submit your personal statement as a separate electronic document in PDF format (most Word Processors, including Google docs, can export PDF, and there are numerous free converters available on-line). In this document, you should write a one or two paragraphs for each of the following prompts:
- Why our REU program appeals to you.
- Which projects in our REU you're interested in—and why.
Your personal statement will probably be read by multiple people with different goals. Some people may be quickly scanning it to look for particular information about your interests, whereas other people may read the whole thing slowly and carefully. With that in mind, you should pay attention to structure of your document. For example, you may wish to make use of headings to separate sections of your document that talk about different things.
Similarly, it helps to pay attention to other aspects of readability. For example, you should format your document to avoid avoid very long lines and/or tiny fonts.

Most of us have a moment in our history when everything changed. For me that moment happened when a colleague insisted I coach her team—a task I had not been trained for, had never done, and had little interest in.
But I dove in. And discovered what has been one of the greatest joys of my life—helping others see for the first time what I sometimes see with ease.
I experience people as a blend of how they are expressing in the present and how they could be expressing in the future. Because of this, what might seem impossible to them often seems already within reach to me. This recognition is my gift to them.
The same gift my colleague gave to me.

SpaceCoyote: NOA will go through every release but DKC first. It's their modus operandi.
Not big on RPGs. Still waiting on you-know-what.
Hmm, I may try these games out, but... I get the sinking feeling that we won't see the DKC games until 2015. I'd love to be proven wrong, though.
This is the best pre-Double Dash Mario Kart game.
NOA is just trolling now.
Seeing Super Mario Advance gives me optimism that we'll see Mario Kart Super Circuit one of these days.
I'll be buying Shantae but I'm waiting until it comes out on Wii U.
I did a double take when I saw DKC on the VC list. I thought for sure we wouldn't be seeing those games again for a long long time for whatever reason. Now please, NOA, don't be jerks and withhold the games for months. (and yes, I know it has worked the other way around too. I'm saying the releases between NA and Europe should be concurrent)
@StuntmanNate So did I.
Anyway, nothing for me this week, but I'll be getting Adventure Island and Wild Guns in the next couple weeks. Now PLEASE, release AI 2 for Wii U!
The only part of the game that sucks is the disappearing platform jumping in level 6, which requires extremely precise timing and distance judging to get right. It was nice to finally be able to pass that part due to save states.
The arcade game is virtually unplayable. The NES game is leaps and bounds better.
This is perhaps the most underrated Mega Man title ever. It actually added more to the series than 5 did, and all the stages had unique presentations.
Dang. I was hoping for Mega Man 6. Oh well, if nothing else, we got Double Dragon II.
Nice to be pleasantly surprised for once. Already downloaded SMK and Mega Man V, will play both tonight.
So.... no Mega Man? I suppose it's -possible- that NOA releases two games, but I'm not holding my breath.
And, it'll take six months to get it on the North American eShop.
Ugh, I hate when North America and Europe's Wii U VC releases are out of sync. Now there are FIVE titles I'm waiting for: Super Mario Kart, Mega Man V and VI, Pop'n Twinbee, and Adventure Island. And we won't be getting any of those next week either, since Mega Man Battle Network took the only spot. Just, ugh.
I reaaaaaally hope North America gets the Mega Man titles this week as well.
@unrandomsam Right, but there's no guarantee that just because a game got released in Japan, that other countries will get it.
Disappointing. So what remains to be released after Nintendo inevitably goes through the NES and SNES titles they already released on Wii?
-Genesis: Nope.
-SMS: Nope.
-C64: Highly doubtful, considering they delisted the games from the Wii Shop.
-VC arcade: Also highly doubtful, since they barely took advantage of that platform when it was on.
-Neo Geo: Possibly, but AFAIK Nintendo's made no public announcement that games for that system are coming. I'm not holding my breath.
-Turbo Grafx 16: See Neo Geo.
So what remains? N64 (if it ever gets going) and some more GBA titles are about it. I really don't see Nintendo releasing GC games on the Wii U, despite Reggie saying he'd like to see them.
The double-dip discount for Castlevania III is up, BTW.
Gah. No discount for Castlevania III for those who bought it on Wii?
Looks like Pac-Attack won't be re-released on its own for the Wii U, seeing as how Pac-Man Collection includes that game.
@DakotaM47 The next Mario 3 will be Super Mario Kart.
Not sure if I'll buy SFA2 considering I have it for both PS3 and as part of SF Alpha Anthology, but I'm just glad we're getting SNES games again! The last release was way back in January.
As far as I'm concerned, this was the better version to put on the Wii U VC: More levels, less annoying Baby Mario, and a few optimizations (remember in the SNES version when you ate a watermelon, there'd be a slight pause? Yeah, there's no delay in this version). About the only negatives I can give it is a bit less pleasing music quality (though hardly a train wreck like some are claiming; at least the tracks sound like their SNES counterparts) and a little more cramped feel. But otherwise I'm perfectly fine with the GBA version being chosen.
@unrandomsam On the plus side, Baby Mario's cry is much less irritating in the GBA version!
@unrandomsam Some of the later levels are quite difficult, especially if you don't have power-ups to help.
Comon Wii U.
Since I already own the two MM collections, plus the first five games on Wii VC and the first four on Wii U VC, I'm not all that interested in buying those specific versions of the games again. However, I would love it if Capcom released The Wily Wars on VC, because we never got that in America outside of the Sega Channel and it has remixed graphics/music.
Honest question: Why are many assuming this maintenance will come with a major new feature on the eShop (such as more Virtual Console consoles)? When I read the article, I didn't think "Oh boy, new stuff is coming!", I thought, "Bug fixes."
Oh come on. Adventure Island II was passed over on the original Wii in North America, yet now it's being released only for the 3DS (which I don't own)? Does Nintendo hate me?
@Falco Yeah that last sentence was unnecessary and I apologize (hence why I quickly edited it). I was just getting frustrated that you seemed to be reiterating the same point and I felt the need to clarify WHY people would want to play this on Wii U as opposed to Wii Mode.
In other words, I don't think it's unreasonable that people would want to play this straight from their Wii Us.
While the VC still desperately needs SMB3 (and, to a lesser extent, Lost Levels), I hadn't been too annoyed since the start of 2014 because we had been getting some quality VC titles anyway to tide me over. But Renegade? Baaaaaad choice. Please have next week's VC selection be better.
And for the record, other companies have released soundtracks on digital services. Konami, Namco, and Sega all have video game albums on iTunes. I've bought quite a few of them, and I would buy Nintendo albums if released. But for whatever reason, Nintendo doesn't want to play game. Fine, be that way.
If Nintendo doesn't think there's a profit to be made from printing physical CDs, then put the soundtracks on iTunes! It's not rocket science.
@Jatbat Well, thank you for setting the record straight. I guess all of us Genesis version fans are going to change our votes thanks to your level-headed, enlightening post.
In all seriousness, I disagree on the music. While the music quality was inferior to the SNES version, it was in no way "ear-grinding". There are some catchy tunes in there.
The stage graphics were NOT fugly. Maybe not as pretty as the SNES version's rich color palette, but they get the job done. But of course that's another matter of opinion.
The controls aren't as bad as you're saying. I consider bad controls to be where you have to fight with your character on-screen to get them to do what you want. Didn't experience that here. The hit detection could've been better, I'll give you that.
And come on, it's not like the SNES Aladdin had some amazing level layout. A few levels are just straight runs from left to right. Proof: http://www.vgmaps.com/Atlas/SuperNES/ I consider the two Genesis Agrabah levels to be superior to what was on the SNES, though zip-lining and bouncing on awnings was pretty fun, I'll admit.
And your last comment makes it sound like Genesis Aladdin single-handedly was responsible for a trend of games with pretty graphics but bad gameplay. That's really debatable, especially since I don't consider it an example of pretty graphics but bad gameplay.
@unrandomsam I checked out the Amiga 1200's music... it has more varied instrument choices but I actually think the Genesis music sounds better than it.
Plus, it has that pet peeve of mine where they randomly shuffle music. What is "Camel Jazz" doing playing on the Cave of Wonders stage?
^ My favorite tracks in the Genesis game are "Camel Jazz" and "Cave of Wonders".
The music based on songs from the movie was decently arranged but I can't help how much better it had sounded on the SNES. Heck, we got two examples where the SNES arrangements were clearly superior: "A Whole New World" and "Friend Like Me".
Not sure why my earlier post was deleted- are external links not allowed in the comments section?
Anyway, I like both versions for different reasons. But I give a slight edge to the Genesis version simply because it's more challenging.
Love the moment at 4:05 when Mario does a bunch of victory jumps for that impossible jump.
Thanks to save states, I actually managed to finally beat this game. Hey, say what you will about the states making some of these old games easier, but at least I'm able to see the end of them!
Friday can't come fast enough.
Hey, at least Super C is a great (albeit really hard) game. Nintendo could've given us Donkey Kong Jr. Math or something.
I'm playing Ninja Guy-DEN! HAI!!!!
On the one hand, it's great to get ALTTP finally. On the other hand, part of me is concerned that now it'll be months before we get another Nintendo title on the Wii U VC.

Winehouse shot to fame with the album "Back to Black," whose blend of jazz, soul, rock and classic pop was a global hit. It won five Grammys and made Winehouse — with her black beehive hairdo and old-fashioned sailor tattoos — one of music's most recognizable stars.Police confirmed that a 27-year-old female was pronounced dead at the home in Camden Square northern London; the cause of death was not immediately known. London Ambulance Services said Winehouse had died before the two ambulance crews it sent arrived at the scene.
Only 27, sheesh. The saddest part is my reaction was "Wait, I thought she had already ODed? She was alive?"

*At least not the ones that are highly addictive and will mess you up. Moderation is a good thing.
