XMPPFramework + PubSub = RadioAunty + LiveText
[UPDATE] This is now live, oh and I added the scrobbling support.
I've been doing a lot of XMPP lately, so I figured I should share some of this stuff with you all. This all ends up with me telling you that I have added LiveText support to my RadioAunty application (Hah! not even the proper iPlayer Radio console has that).
LiveText is the content that appears on your DAB radio, with information about who's on, what's currently playing, and what's coming up in the show.
So, XMPP. To start with, two books which I can recommend are:
One is great for understanding what the hell XMPP is, and the other for how you can use it on the web. In traditional style, I read both these cover to cover many times, until I finally got it, and felt I could build something interesting. Here's a brief overview:
XMPP is the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol, a set of open technologies for instant messaging, presence, multi-party chat, voice and video calls, collaboration, lightweight middleware, content syndication, and generalized routing of XML data.
One of the side effects of using this technology so much, has meant that I've grasped enough to make a contributions to open source XMPP projects. One of which being the fantastic XMPPFramework. As you'll guess by the name, this is an XMPP Framework in Objective-C for Mac and iPhone. My colleague Alan wrote last November that the BBC was starting to make it's LiveText service available over XMPP PubSub. I really wanted to integrate this with RadioAunty, but the XMPPFramework did not support PubSub or SASL ANONYMOUS. Due to my new found knowledge, I was able to help, and submitted a couple of patches adding this support to this library.
So, I will push out the new version of RadioAunty in the next couple of days. There is a limitation at the moment that the LiveText won't work if you need to go through a SOCKS proxy. I'm hoping I can fix this, but at the moment I'm not quite sure where to start. The radio will continue to work fine.
Oh, and yes, I realise that the elusive Last.fm scrobble support is possible now. One step at a time.

(NBC News) There were hours of waiting and worry Wednesday for Theodis Westbrook, whose son, Sgt. Jonathan Westbrook, works inside the personnel office at Fort Hood.
Sgt. Westbrook told his father Ivan Lopez came into the office to pick up a form to request time off, but was told to come back later.
Lopez returned with a gun and started firing.
"The first guy he shot right in front of my son was killed, and then he turned the gun towards Jonathan, aimed it, and fired. I don't know how many times he fired, but he hit my son four times," Westbrook says.
Lopez's family released a statement saying the deaths of his mother and grandfather as well as a base change affected his already trouble mental state and that he "must not have been in his right mind."

Nope, I have disappeared from the blogging world; I'm just swimming in squash. Actually, my other job has been quite busy and keeping me from crafting, weeding, preserving, and writing. Sigh. Hopefully, I'll be back to creating projects and writing up posts this month.
Lest you think I've not been dwelling well at all, I have an update on the garden, specifically the squash trellis I wrote about in this post. Looking back at that photo, I hardly recognize the area. Winter squash vines are now growing up, around, and over the structure, with pumpkins, Delicata, and butternut squash hanging from the sides, and in the middle (that picture didn't turn out well).
This week we'll be harvesting more than a dozen squash and storing it for the next few months' eating. Thankfully, winter squash stores well in a cool, dry place. The pumpkin I'll roast in the oven, puree, and freeze (it cannot be safely home canned) for pies in November.
Several readers have mentioned making their own trellises. I hope yours are growing well too!
I'm doing more and more trellising in my back (and front) yard garden beds to conserve space (for more tomato plants, of course). I use a variety of material for trellises: bed frames (my favorite for peas and beans), these simple trellises, upside down tomato cages, and other simple wooden frames with twine or chicken wire.
A few years ago, I built a squash trellis for a friend, and this year, I have one of my own. The original idea came from this post on DigginFood, and I've made just a couple of adjustments.
I added more rungs to the trellis to give the squash a bit more support as they grow, and I added twine to the trellis for small squash tendrils to hang onto—they just can't hold onto the rungs. I have eight squash (butternut, delicata, and pumpkin) planted around this trellis, which really only takes about four square feet of garden space. Without the trellis, I would only have one squash plant (maybe two if I crowded them) in the same space. As the squash grow they will climb up and squash will hang around the trellis and on vines crossing the middle. I'm pretty happy with how it looks now and hope I have a trellis covered in green to show you in August.
Another thing I like about this trellis is that it easily disassembles into the two ladders for easy storage during the winter.
What do you trellis in your garden?
I have been remiss in my blogging and crafting this last week. I apologize, dear readers, please stick with me. I actually have been crafting like mad for the wedding, and am getting ready to start posting more of the projects that are making it to the big day.
First up: I am testing garland. I'd like to make a simple garland to put up in front of the head table and perhaps the cake table at the reception to break up the vast expanse of white tablecloth.
This post, by The Sweetest Occasion, inspired my first round of trial garland. I love the simplicity and low cost of this garland, and found felt, tulle, and yarn in my wedding colors, but I have decided it is too casual for what I want. It would be great for a birthday, baby shower, or a seasonal garland. The garland one is super simple to make and could easily be made in multiple color schemes. Simply braid, twist, knot, and drape different materials to make several strands of garland. I do like the addition of felt circles on string for interest. Play around and have fun with different materials! This is a great project for using up odds and ends of craft supplies as well.
Every year on Valentine's Day I make a gifts for some of my closest friends. To me, Valentine's Day doesn't need to focus on romance; I simply like to let important people in my life know they are loved. In the spirit of friendly Valentines, I have gathered links to several quick and easy (as in you could easily whip them together this weekend) projects. Let me know what Valentines you make this year!
Paper and felt heart chains by Betz White. I love the simplicity and decorating potential! Hang one above a door, in a front window, or down the middle of a dining table as a simple centerpiece. Make a heart chain from white, cream, and craft-colored paper for a decoration that is less obviously Valentine-y.
"Naturally Sweet" printable fruit stickers by Twig & Thistle. These stickers are almost too simple not to make: place a sticker on each piece of fruit in the fruit bowl or put a piece of fruit in everyone's lunch! Print out the templates and attach with double sided tape or use sticker paper.
"Be Mine" garland by The Polkadot Chair. I do love a good project made from newsprint. Perhaps it is the kid in me, but I love cutting up old newspapers, and creating sustainable crafts makes my heart happy. This garland can be made and used for years to come.
Printable color-your-own valentines from Up Up. I love the simple designs and ease of these templates. This would be great to do with kids. Don't forget to sharpen your colored pencils!
Heart-shaped Valentines from Alpha Mom. Another simple Valentine card that takes minimal work to create with fantastic results. This would be a great last minute project.
People who sew have a problem in common: what to do with fabric scraps. Some of the fabrics available today are so beautiful that it's difficult to throw out even the smallest bits and pieces.
Here's something you can do with a very small piece of fabric: fabric-adorned candle holders.
First, stop by your favorite thrift shop and buy some secondhand candle holders (I got mine at Value Village for 69 cents each). You'll also need a decoupage glue, like Mod Podge, a sponge brush, scissors and, of course, fabric.
Cut the fabric the same size and shape as the candle holder's exterior, plus a little extra so the fabric ends overlap slightly. Cutting the shape is easy if your candle holder is straight up and down, but you'll have to cut an arch shape if the candle holder's opening is angled, like mine.
Now apply a thin layer of Mod Podge on the outside of the candle holder with the sponge brush and press the fabric onto it. Be careful not to have bubbles or ripples.
Finally, apply another layer of Mod Podge on top of the fabric. It will look white at first, but it dries clear and gives the fabric a hard finish. If the fabric edges start to fray, just brush the loose threads back onto the fabric.
Insert a tea light and use your candle holders on the table during an end-of-summer outdoor dinner party. Or make some with holiday-themed fabrics and set them out at the appropriate times throughout the year.
Easy. Cheap. A little bit green. Enjoy.
I am doing my best not to complain about the weather. After all, the winter was mild and do you remember September? Gorgeous!
But I do wish things would heat up a bit. We spend plenty of time outside no matter what, but I'm longing for some hot days.
On the bright side, the cooler weather gives us all time to do some backyard DIY projects before the warm season really sets in.
My husband and I put this homemade table on our to-do list after seeing it in the most recent issue of Sunset magazine. It puts to use an otherwise unwanted object—an old window!
We're planning on making one that's a little lower than normal dining table height and then surrounding with four hay bales for seating. The Farm Chicks Antique Show is coming up, and on my shopping list will be four vintage quilts that I can lay across the hay bales since, you know, no one really wants to get poked by hay while they're eating dinner.
Not sure what I'm envisioning? Check out this photo for inspiration.
Looking for more backyard DIY ideas? Here are some of my favorite projects from around the web:
Anything you'd like to add to the list?
Raise your hand if you want a tutorial for that fabric flower corsage … or am I a total geek for suggesting it?
I kind of like it. But sometimes things happen in my craft room that feel magical at the time, and then two days later I feel like a dork for walking around town wearing whatever I made.
So it's up to you this time. Cool last-minute Valentine's Day accessory … or mushy mass of fabric I should retire to the scrap heap? Discuss.
Remember the trash-to-treasure demo I did at the Everybody's Bazaar a few weeks ago? Well, today I finally have tutorial No. 2 ready for you.
As a reminder, I was given $25 on Day 1 of the Everybody's Bazaar indoor garage sale and told to buy items I could repurpose in creative ways on Day 2. The first project was an apron I sewed using an old quilt top.
Tutorial No. 2 is a fabric-covered cork board you can use to post grocery lists, pictures or anything else you want to display.
The "trash" I started with for this project was the $8 white picture frame you see here. I had an old cork board wasting space in my basement storage room, so I decided to give it new life inside the frame.
Inspired by the aesthetic of the Barn House (one of the vendors at the Farm Chicks Antique Show last June) and Junebug Furniture & Design (which recently held the Mad Hatter Vintage Flea Market) I chose to cover the cork board with burlap that I stenciled with the number 5.
Why 5? Well, we have a few 5s floating around our house to represent the members of our family: me, my husband, our two daughters and our sweet, deceased dog who will always be part of our family.
You could stencil anything on the fabric, though, like a bunny or a bicycle or a tree. Whatever.
And you could use a more cheerful fabric, too, like these. Yum!
I'm going to write out the steps here, but you can also watch the slide show for the full tutorial, whichever is easier for you to follow. I'd love to hear from anyone who makes their own cork board following these directions—or any directions. Heck, I'd love to see any crafts you make so I can show them off here on Dwell Well.
Covered Cork Board Tutorial:
an empty picture frame
cork board cut to fit in picture frame opening
fabric that's as big as the cork board plus a couple of inches around each side
sponge brush
freezer paper (available in most grocery stores near the tin foil and plastic wrap)
iron and ironing board
a hot-glue gun and glue-gun sticks
a saw or large X-acto knife to cut the cork board to the size you need
Step 1: Print off your computer an image you'd like to stencil, such as numbers, letters or a silhouette of an animal. Tear off a piece of freezer paper that's as big as the image, plus a couple of inches around all sides. Place the freezer paper on top of the printed image, waxy side down, and trace the image onto the freezer paper.
Step 2: Cut out the inside of the traced image on the freezer paper, leaving plenty of paper surrounding it.
Step 3: Repeat the cutting step for all the images you want to transfer to the fabric.
Step 4: Place the freezer paper stencils you've created on the fabric where you want them to go. Make sure the waxy side is touching the fabric. Using a warm iron, iron the freezer paper's smooth side until the waxy side adheres to the fabric. It only takes a few seconds.
Step 5: Place some sort of padding, like newspaper, under your fabric so the paint doesn't bleed through.
Step 6: Using a sponge brush, dab the paint into the opening of the stencil. Don't brush side to side, which might cause paint to creep under the outer edges of the stencil. Work in an up-and-down motion.
Step 7: Keep dabbing on the paint until the area is covered. Don't worry about painting over the edges of the freezer paper. Allow the paint to dry.
Step 8: Once the paint has dried, carefully peel off the freezer paper. Ta dah! There's your image, crisp and clear.
Step 9: Wrap the fabric around the cork board and staple it to the back side.
Step 10: Pipe a ribbon of hot glue into the lip of a picture frame, then place the fabric-cover cork board into place.
Step 11: Once the glue has dried, hang the framed cork board somewhere that's easily accessible.
Step 12: Use push pins to attach pictures, grocery lists and other items to the cork board.
A few weeks ago, I mentioned a do-it-yourself contest happening over at Apartment Therapy. Well, the entries are in and readers submitted some great tutorials for home-improvement projects.
The contest categories included general home, kitchen, office/high tech, babies/children, and green projects. You can see a grid of all the entries here, and if you narrow in on the "re-nest" column you'll see all the projects made from recycled materials or in some earth-friendly way.
The upholstered bench above is among the entries. Can you guess what it's made of? An old bed headboard. Clever, huh?
Another of my favorites from the re-nest competition is this whole-house effort to remodel using secondhand goods. The homeowner went so far as to build her own sofa, starting with an old wooden door as the base.
In the interest of full disclosure, one of my projects is in the running in the babies/children category. It's a hanging book display I made for my 3-year-old daughter so she could see the fronts of her books instead of just the spines (it's tough to choose a book for storytime by looking at the spines if you don't know how to read yet). You can see my tutorial either on the Apartment Therapy site or over at my craft blog, Penny Carnival.
Isn't the whole point of Valentine's Day to do something personal and heartfelt for the people you love? Are the days of handwritten love letters and handmade cards long gone? I hope not.
That said, my daughter is supposed to go to preschool with 28 Valentines for her classmates tomorrow and I haven't even started making them with her. Sure, we could buy a box at the store, but I think she'll feel prouder giving something she has created herself.
Need some last-minute ideas yourself? Check out these adorable projects, many of which were found via the Crafty Crow:

Public schools were open Wednesday, but fewer than half of city students actually attended.
The Department of Education says that the average attendance rate was 47.1 percent Wednesday.
This number comes in far lower than the average attendance rate through December, which was about 92 percent.
"I think parents can make the decision whether they send the kids to school or not, and there were enough kids in school today that for the parents who needed schools to be open," said Schools Chancellor Carmen Fariña. "I think we did a great job, and as far as I'm concerned, it was a good call, just like last week's was a good call."
"I don't think the roads are too bad. I think it was alright," said one parent. "Maybe a delayed opening, but definitely not a closing."
"I think it was a bad idea because when it snows, not a lot of kids come to school anyway, and some teachers don't come to school 'cause the roads are still icy and they can't get to school," said one student.
City schools have only had one snow day so far this year.

Four Picks on Wall Street's Bargain Rack
I love a good summer sale.
When it's sticky and blazing hot outside, how good does it feel to spend a little leisure time wandering through the cool comfort of an air-conditioned mall?
I'm not that much of a shopper, really. But when I do partake, it's part of my nature to spend a fair amount of time looking through the bargain racks. I'm always looking for good value for readers of my new book,
Switching gears to the stock market, it seems like this year is no different from any other.The bargain racks are out. Despite a generally strong year and a high single-digit percentage gain in stock indices in the second quarter, there are still bargains out there. You've probably heard this expression before: It's a "stock picker's market." Only now that might be truer than ever. The energy sector,

Pain and Aspirin
What causes pain and how do we stop it? This unit looks at how the human body responds...
What causes pain and how do we stop it? This unit looks at how the human body responds to the release of certain chemicals and as a result feels pain. Pain can be reduced by inhibiting the formation of such chemicals and you will learn how the molecular structure of aspirin has been formulated to help in this process.
By the end of this unit you should have achieved the following learning outcomes.
- demonstrate general knowledge and understanding of some of the basic facts, concepts and principles relating to the development of medicines. In particular:
- the science behind the development of some drugs to achieve particular tasks;
- how chemical bonding determines the properties of compounds and provides an explanation for the mode of action of drugs.
- apply this knowledge and understanding to address familiar and unfamiliar situations;
- be able to express unit concepts in an objective and factually correct way.
- receive and respond to information obtained from text and models, as well as from numeric, pictorial and audio sources;
- communicate information clearly, concisely and correctly.
- (if you obtain a model kit) construct and manipulate models of molecules.

Pain and aspirin
In this unit you will find out that the sensation of pain is caused by the release of a chemical called prostaglandin that stimulates the nerve endings and sends an electrical message to the brain. Inhibiting the formation of prostaglandin reduces pain and we will see, by looking at the specific shape of the molecules involved, how aspirin can so inhibit the formation of prostaglandin. To make the most of the material of this unit you will need to use an organic molecular modelling kit such as the one that is supplied by Molymod™ to Open University students who study the course that this unit comes from.
This unit is an adapted extract from the Open University course Learn about molecules, medicines and drugs which has been partly funded by the Wolfson Foundation in collaboration with The Royal Society of Chemistry and you can study just for interest [Tip: hold Ctrl and click a link to open it in a new tab.

Miaoux Miaoux – Blooms EP – Out on CD 16th March 2010
Love & Cake Digital
Compact Disc EP (Limited Edition) Available 16th March 2010
Digital Download forthcoming/tbc
1. Pixellated 2. Dream On 3. Snow
Miaoux Miaoux, aka Julian Corrie, releases his first new material in two years in the form of the Blooms EP, a beautiful and striking blend of electronica and post-rock. Already being praised by BBC Radio 1, The Scotsman, and Glasgow PodCART, the EP features a more song-orientated approach to Miaoux Miaoux's unique brand of electronica, recalling The Postal Service and Apparat, as well as established post-rock pioneers Mogwai.
It follows on from the success of his debut album Rainbow Bubbles, which The List called "an accomplished collection of post-rocking vibrations laced with some decidedly un-bedroomy electronics" and Drowned in Sound "a very good album". Rainbow Bubbles also included an acclaimed remix of indie popsters Zoey Van Goey, which appeared as the b-side to their first single.
The Blooms EP will be launched on Tuesday 16th March with a gig at the 13th Note Cafe, Glasgow, 9pm, where Miaoux Miaoux will be supported by chiptune wizard Firebrand Boy and the legendary Errors DJs. It will be available on CD, and also as a download from all good digital retailers including (but not limited to) iTunes, Amazon, Napster, LaLa, Trackitdown, Juno, Rhapsody and eMusic.

LOL? I'm the one who's laughing. Not only am I Italian American, but I lived in Italy and speak Italian although not as fluently as I used to.
|Mon, 04-08-2013 - 7:13pm

I hate to be nitpicky but it's ravioli, not ravioli's. It is an Italian word, and is already plural so no need to add the "s" on the end. Just one of my pet peeves...

lasagna does it for me... It's lasagne.
|Mon, 04-08-2013 - 6:56pm

Can I please have the chicken w/white wine sauce recipe and the pork and coconut peanut sauce recipe? Both sound yum!

http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/chicken-mushrooms-garlic-white-wine-sauce-10000001545708/ -- I haven't made this before.
The pork one isn't available online - it's a WW recipe. sorry!
|Mon, 04-08-2013 - 6:52pm
There's also no need for an apostrophe even if you don't mind getting the Italian incorrect. Unless the ravioli own something, of course.

Dh left yesterday for a week in California, so I've got to do all the kid shuttling this week so trying to make kid favorites and meals easy to prepare ahead or things that can be eaten at different times/reheated easily.
Last night - kids got to choose from variety of leftovers. I just had pasta with olive oil and freshly grated cheese.
Tonight - meatloaf, mashed potatoes and green beans
Tuesday - store bought roasted chicken, rice and edamame
Wednesday - homemade lasagna, salad
Thursday - chicken fried rice with broccoli on the side (dd asked for this so I suggested she make it for dinner - she is normally a baker, but she needs to learn how to make meals!)
Friday - probably pizza or out to eat since dh will still be OOT

Embracing Change
By Kelli Cooper for BounceBack.com
Posted by: kellicooper
Change…for many of us, it is a dirty word. We do not like it one bit. We get very comfortable in our current situations. We are very attached to certain situations, people and ways of operating. We form very firm pictures of what the future will hold based on our current reality. We are happy the way things are and change is painful. We do not like uncertainty. We do not like...

|So I am redoing my bathroom and I am having a hard time getting inspired. The problem? I have almond colored bathtub, toilet and sink. I am going to replace the toilet and the sink but I am not sure if I should just embrace the almond of it all or switch to white. I can not afford to do the bathtub right now.
I don't mind embracing the the almond, if I can be inspired. I have been searching the internet for ideas but all the pictures I find have white fixtures... also my bathroom is SMALL (5'x7').
One of my ideas is to switch to white and then paint the walls the color of the bathtub.
Any thoughts or suggestions (pictures would be good too) on a color scheme if I stick with the almond?

Alright, it's time to head off to work. It's a long weekend here in the states, where we recognize the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and George Washington on Monday - one of the rare occurrences where my European friends are at work and we Yanks are on a Bank Holiday. Posting will likely be non-existent, as I am spending the weekend in Portland, Oregon doing various things (even catching up with a Swedish Gooner!).
Enjoy the FA Cup weekend. For us Gunners it is a match against Leyton Orient, where we attempt to keep the dream (fantasy?) of a quadruple alive.

Bernanke Says He Didn't Bully BofA To Buy Merrill
Friday, Jun 26,2009, 10:05:25 AM Click:
Bernanke told a House committee investigating the matter that he did not threaten action against Bank of America's CEO Kenneth Lewis or the bank's board members if they decided to abandon the takeover.
"I did not tell Bank of America's management that the Federal Reserve would take action against the board or management" if they decided to invoke a clause in the acquisition contract in an attempt to stop the deal, Bernanke told the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
"Moreover, I did not instruct anyone to indicate to Bank of America that the Federal Reserve would take any particular action under those circumstances," he added.
Earlier this month, Lewis testified that his job was threatened after he expressed second thoughts about the deal. Lewis said then-Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and federal regulators made clear that if Charlotte-North Carolina-based Bank of America Corp. reneged on its promise, that he and the bank's board members would be ousted.
Bernanke said no member of the Fed ever urged Bank of America to keep quiet about Merrill Lynch's financial problems. Not divulging that information would have violated Lewis' fiduciary duty to the bank's shareholders.
"Neither I nor any member of the Federal Reserve ever directed, instructed or advised Bank of America to withhold from public disclosure any information relating to Merrill Lynch, including its losses, compensation packages or bonuses or any other related matter," the Fed chief said.
It marked Bernanke's first public comments since the House committee launched an investigation earlier this year into whether he or other government officials bullied Bank of America to stick with its plan to combine the two financial powers after Lewis found out about Merrill's financial woes.
During the three-hour hearing, Bernanke faced often hostile questioning by lawmakers.
The committee's ranking Republican member, Rep. Darrell Issa of California, accused the Fed of having "deliberately kept other regulators in the dark regarding the negotiations with Bank of America."
That, he said, "raises troubling questions."
Rep. Jason Chaffetz, a Utah Republican, said of Bernanke's denial that he threatened Lewis' job: "With all due respect, I'm just not buying that."
In turning aggressive toward Bernanke, Republicans are adopting the role of outsider and trying to link the Fed chairman to the Obama administration as advocates of government meddling in private industry. Many Republicans are suspicious of the administration's plan to expand the Fed's regulatory powers.
It's an odd shift, because Bernanke is a Republican appointee and many of his key advocates are Democrats. His term expires early next year, giving President Barack Obama an opportunity to pick his own Fed chief or reappoint Bernanke.
Rep. Dennis Kucinich, a Democrat from Ohio, said he thought Lewis was the one pressuring the government.
He said the investigation revealed that Fed officials thought Bank of America failed to do proper due diligence when it came to Merrill Lynch.
When asked about Bank of America's management, Bernanke said: "I did have concerns, yes."
Bank of America received $45 billion from the government's financial bailout program, $20 billion of which was linked to its acquisition of New York-based Merrill Lynch.
Committee chairman Rep. Edolphus Towns, a New York Democrat, said that as part of the panel's continuing investigation, Paulson has agreed to appear before the committee in July.
Bernanke defended the deal and government bailout, saying the action was needed to avoid another blow to the financial system, which at the time was in distress.
If Bank of America had decided to abandon the deal, it "might have triggered a broader systemic crisis that could well have destabilized Bank of America as well as Merrill Lynch," Bernanke said.
Bernanke also said the Fed's lawyers believed it was "highly unlikely" that Bank of America would be successful in terminating the deal through the special clause.
The "best option," therefore, for the companies and the broader financial system was to work with the Fed and the Treasury Department to develop a contingency plan to ensure that Bank of America would remain stable should the completion of the acquisition and the announcement of losses lead to financial stress, he said.
The government helped orchestrate the deal at a time when the country's economic and financial landscape was especially fragile. Lending, the lifeblood of the economy, had come to a near halt and the financial system was on the brink of a meltdown.
The transaction was hammered out over the same weekend in September that another investment bank, Lehman Brothers, went under, leading to the biggest corporate bankruptcy in U.S. history and plunging financial markets worldwide into crisis.
One day later, the government was forced to bail out teetering insurance giant American International Group Inc.

Learn how to play "Brown Sugar" by The Rolling Stones with a video demonstration and guitar chord-sheet for instructional purposes.
This song is fairly simple, and shouldn't require full guitar tablature to figure out. In fact, the more you take these main-riffs and licks, and work on them to assemble the songs, the more quickly you will be able to figure out most songs without assistance. I hope to assist in your efforts, not actually take the place of your independent efforts to listen to and figure out songs.
Note: As of July 23rd, 2014, tab is no longer free.
It's $2 for a link to my google-drive folder for all the tab I've written, including this one, Hotel California, La Grange, Tush, My Head's In Mississippi, Free Bird, Layla unplugged, Jessica, Blue Sky, One Way Out, Landslide, Driving South, Mississippi Queen, Ramblin', Heard It In A Love Song, Mary Had A Little Lamb (SRV version), Stairway to Heaven, and more. I tried letting you all have them for fifty-cents, but after PayPal fees, I receive only eighteen-cents, so it isn't worth my time to do them individually.
You have several choices, use the PayPal donate button, or download one of my songs from iTunes, CD Baby, or Bandcamp.
If you use the PayPal donate button for $2 (or more if so inclined – thanks for the support), I will get a receipt telling me you purchased, just send an email to me at firstname.lastname@example.com letting me know which email address to send the link to. I will usually respond within hours, but it could be a day if I'm out.
To get the tab by downloading any of my songs from iTunes, cdbaby or from bandcamp, use one of the links below, then send proof of your purchase to me at: firstname.lastname@example.com, and I will provide a link for you to access and download the tab you wanted.
That is a great deal for you, and if you support me by downloading one of my songs, it helps them get visibility on iTunes/CdBaby/Bandcamp. We all win.
Thank you for your support!

Nokia's EDoF camera gets better: in-focus macro shots are now a reality
Nokia is known for still holding the best smartphone camera throne with the 12-megapixel snapper on the Nokia N8, but when you go into the more affordable mid-range and lower-end handsets of the company, it cuts short even on the auto-focus capability. Nokia's low and mid-range Symbian devices actually use an extended depth of field (EDoF) camera, something that the Finns also refer to as full focus, and most of us know as fixed-focus. With no complicated focusing machinery, EDoF is all about simplicity, quick shots and having everything in focus. Now, this comes with some considerable downsides - you can't really contrast or blur the background and everything within around 20 inches (50 cm) appears out of focus.
At least that used to be the case with the first generation of Nokia EDoF cameras, but it seems that Espoo has quietly worked on that and in the new Nokia 701, macro shots are finally possible. Now, that doesn't mean they're perfect - there's still some fringing, but they are a huge leap over what we've seen so far and the pictures below illustrate this perfectly. It's even more evident when snapping documents with the camera - the text is now legible and can definitely be read afterwards. On both images, the left part is shot with the Nokia C7, which uses the first generation EDoF sensor, while the right part is taken on the Nokia 701 with the new EDoF camera. In the pictures, the distance to the object is around 12 inches (30 cm). Check out the source below for an in-depth comparison of how Nokia's full focus cameras have improved and let us know whether that changes your perception about EDoF.

It's good but try to make it more better (macro shot)...we luv the camera of Nokia but when you introduced this EDoF...we avoid buying your phone because it is useless in close-up shot.

Despite high ticket prices for many shows, its possible to get quality arts and entertainment on a budget in Charlotte. You just have to know where to look. Here are 10 suggestions:
Go local
North Carolina has long been known as a musical hotbed from Nina Simone and Doc Watson to Charlottes own Anthony Hamilton. Lesser-known musicians perform for $10 or less almost every day. Catch Rock Hill Americana act Elonzos free Wednesday night residency through January at Plaza Midwoods Snug Harbor, for instance, as well as jazz-funk fusion ensemble Groove 8 at the Double Door on Jan. 19. Even veterans play for cheap. Antiseen returns to Tremont for a mere $10 Feb. 23.

Go weird
The Yacht Rock Revue, at Visulite Jan. 25, and Meow Meow at Blumenthal Performing Arts Stage Door Theatre Feb. 4-7 are those rare hip anomalies (like performance art duo Die Roten Punkte or hair rock vocal orchestra Bang Camaro) that youll wish youd caught when you hear your friends talking about them later. Yacht celebrates the 1970s and 80s AM sounds of Christopher Cross, Boz Scaggs, and Hall & Oates. Meow Meow is a satire-soaked cabaret that hits on French pop, Shanghai show tunes and other exotic musical locales. Yacht, $10, www.blumenthalarts.org; $15, www.visulite.com.
Go underground
The Back Alley Film Series features independent, foreign, student and grindhouse films you wont see at any other Charlotte theater.

Tickets are $20, $5 for children 10 and under. www.bechtler.org.

An American icon, August Wilson depicted the human condition like no other playwright of his time. His legacy lives on through his crowning achievement: a cycle of 10 plays chronicling the African American experience, each set in a different decade of the 20th century. Crafted over nearly 25 years, these works garnered Wilson myriad accolades, including a Tony Award and two Pulitzer Prizes. Bringing them together for the first time ever, the Kennedy Center presents staged readings of all 10 of Wilson's masterpieces, frequently dubbed "The Pittsburgh Cycle," as all but one are grounded in the city of his youth.
More than 30 stars of stage and screen join Artistic Director Kenny Leon and six other acclaimed directors for this historic month-long celebration (March 4–April 6, 2008). Complemented with costumes, lighting, and scenery, the plays will be performed in chronological order--collectively revealing Wilson's sweeping vision of the challenge and glory of being black in America.

August Wilson's 1900s to Be a Cycle Onstage
The New York Times, February 20, 2008
Watch and Listen
Acting for August
Discovering the Library: Born in an economically-depressed neighborhood of Pittsburgh, PA, August Wilson's young life was changed by a visit to the Carnegie Public Library, where he discovered books relevant to his life and experiences.
The Collaboration Process: A play starts with the playwright's text, but it is the actors, director, set designer, costumer, and lighting designer and more who bring a production to fruition.
Writing as a Child: August Wilson became fascinated with language and began writing in the second grade.
The Writing Process: The blank page is often seen as a formidable stumbling block for young writers, but August Wilson learned to embrace it: the blank page or canvas allowed him to discover the story as he began to write.
The Stronger Political Act: Describing the work of August Wilson, actor James Earl Jones said, "…when he writes he leaves some blood on the page.
The Artist's Relationship with the Audience: August Wilson approached his art as an aesthetic statement that impacted audience members not only as individuals, but also as a community.
Recurring Themes: Through his plays, August Wilson made important connections to history, heritage and his ancestors, stressing the responsibility of each generation , and the idea that you must know where you come from to know where you're going.
The Rehearsal Process: August Wilson saw the characters in his plays as undergoing a process of evolution from his written pages to the live theatre stage.

I'm just jealous you have off for MLK day!
No help on the mommy guilt, but I think it's fine. Would you be paying even if the kids weren't there? If you need justification to make yourself feel better that might be it. Also, I know plenty of people who send their kids to daycare on days off. You are not alone.
First DH has taken Emily to daycare on his days off, about 4 times, his friends always ask him why he doesnt take her every day that he is off because we pay nomatter what. They cant seem to understand why he stays home with her on his days off instead of taking her to daycare. Guess this works different for dads.
Anyway dont feel guilty you cant be a good mom if you dont recharge your battery sometimes. You need you time to stay sane.
The guilt is normal, I took Emily to daycare while I had the stomach bug last week. I felt guilty even though I spent all day in the bathroom and could not have taken care of her alone.
Enjoy your break.
I do this every time I have a day off. It's the only way I truly get a day off! Don't feel guilty. Everyone needs those days to themselves and to get some things done. DS is all over the place and I cannot get a single thing done when he's awake. If I were spending my "day off" with him, I would spend the day chasing him all over the house. That does not sound relaxing or productive!
Enjoy your day!
The way I see it, the happier/more rested/relaxed I am, the better mom I'll be to the girls. The other night after we got home H fed them while I put some laundry away, I got them undressed while he got a bath ready, then he gave them a bath while I did other chores, I helped dress them and he played with them while I got other stuff done. They were not happy because they could see me but I wasn't giving them much attention, but we had a bunch of stuff that had to get done, including cleaning and laundry in their room that I couldn't do after they went to sleep. If I had been able to do that during the day when they were at daycare I could have enjoyed those 2 hours with them.
They've gone to daycare once when I was home and it was the best thing ever. I felt kind of shady dropping them off (and even contemplated getting dressed "for work" so my DCP would think I was going to work, but I figured that was nuts) but I did it and got a ton done. I recently applied for a job where I could work from home 1 day a week and the thought of working at home with peace and quiet is heavenly.

We are a rebellious nation. Our whole history is treason; our blood was attained before we were born; our creeds were infidelity to the mother church; our constitution treason to our fatherland.Theodore Parker
The best of our theater is standing on tiptoe, striving to see over the shoulders of father and mother. The worst is exploiting and wallowing in the self-pity of adolescence and obsessive keyhole sexuality. The way out, as the poet says, is always through.Arthur Miller
A king, realizing his incompetence, can either delegate or abdicate his duties. A father can do neither. If only sons could see the paradox, they would understand the dilemma.Marlene Dietrich

He who has made it a practice to lie and deceive his father, will be the most daring in deceiving others.Horace
My father, a bookkeeper who never earned more than $11,000 a year in his life, sat there, writing out a $25 check to the NAACP. When I asked him why, he said discrimination against anyone is discrimination against us all. And I never forgot that. Indeed, his philanthropy was a gift, not just to that organization, but to me.Michael Bloomberg
When it comes to my own turn to lay my weapons down, I shall do so with thankfulness and fatigue, and whatever be my destiny afterward, I shall be glad to lie down with my fathers in honor. It is human at least, if not divine.Robert Louis Stevenson

Without Thee we can do nothing; but filled with the Holy Ghost, the excellency of the power will be of Thee, O God! and not of us.William Arthur
Your enjoyment of the world is never right, till every morning you awake in Heaven: see yourself in your Father's palace; and look upon the skies, the earth, and the air as celestial joys: having such a reverend esteem of all, as if you were among the angels.Thomas Traherne

Our Founding Fathers would shudder to see how easily forces outside the mainstream now seem to effortlessly push some Senate leaders toward conduct the American people don't want from their elected leaders: Abusing power.

Madison County fire crews make quick work at a fire at a Canastota recycling plant. The fire started at Prime Materials Recovery. No one has been hurt. Our Brad Vivacqua is at the scene and joins us now with more.
CANASTOTA, N.Y. -- Madison County fire crews make quick work of a fire at a Canastota recycling plant.
The fire started at Prime Materials Recovery around 5:30 a.m. Friday. About 20 employees were inside at the time, but everyone did get out safely. Several fire departments quickly responded and put out the flames within half an hour.
Canastota Fire Chief John Massarotti said, "We just call the equipment in and they follow through. They did a great job, and they had to do some work inside."
The plant has some water and smoke damage. The cause is under investigation, but the chief says it's believed some dust on one of the machines may have sparked the fire.
