They've created a bacon-fueled motorcycle and all our fantasies have just come true!
By Zolton in New Trends on Thursday 14 August 2014
Seriously, what isn't made better by bacon? We've had bacon lube, bacon floss, canned bacon, bacon art and now a bacon-fueled motorcycle. It's been built by Hormel, which makes SPAM lunch meat (yes, that's the edible kind of SPAM), and is the soon-to-be star of a documentary called Driven by Bacon featuring the road-tripping adventures of a self-proclaimed bacon-phile travelling between Austin and San Diego.
Meanwhile in Australia: a bacon-wrapped croc with chicken in its mouth

Now comes the yet-to-be-named dish from Down Under: an crocodile wrapped in bacon and stuffed with a whole chicken in its mouth. It's the stuff of legends.

Incredible art made from bacon
By Low Lai Chow in New Art on Tuesday 28 January 2014

Proceed with caution though: if the one of the bacon baby doesn't get you, the one of Justin Bieber's likeness made out of minced meat […]

By Annie Churdar in New Trends on Saturday 26 October 2013
The tragic pig-napping of Kevin Bacon and his farm buddy, Bradley the Lamb, made international headlines after their family at the Grounds of Alexandria in Sydney sounded the alarm.

Bacon Flavoured Jello: a step too far?
By Cormack O'Connor in New Products on Friday 28 December 2012
It all started with the bacon scarf; a realistic strand of seemingly edible product. This was followed by bacon shaving cream with an accompanying bacon lip balm for the ladies. Now the once bright world of bacon appreciation has turned into a dark and seedy world where the bacon obsessed will do almost anything to add a little touch of their favourite pork product to everything in sight.

More than 90% of U.S. homeowners would like to see universal standards for green products and only 8% usually accept unsubstantiated green product claims to be true, according to a survey by Ipsos Public Affairs for Icynene.
The survey found that, while 77% of homeowners consider the green merits of products when making purchase decisions, only 7% look at green or environmental qualities alone. The findings suggest that a company's environmental track record might mean more to homeowners than green product qualities when choosing and recommending products:
∙69% of homeowners agree they would buy a competing product from a company they believe to be more green
∙64% of homeowners agree they'd always consider buying from a green company first
∙nearly half of homeowners (43%) agree they'd recommend to someone else not to buy products from a non-green company
∙36% agree they would not buy products from a company they consider not to be green
"Homeowners clearly want standards for green products so that they can feel more confident they will deliver on their green promises," says Sean Simpson, research manager for Ipsos Public Affairs, "but they also seem to be rewarding or penalizing companies for their environmental performance."
The poll also found that women are more receptive to green product names than men and respondents in the Northeast are more likely than those in the Midwest to reward or penalize companies for their
environmental track record:
∙Women (47%) are far more likely than men (35%) to agree that having "eco" or "green" in a product name would convince them that it is truly green
∙Men (27%) are more likely than women (19%) to agree that how green a product or material is has absolutely no impact on their purchase decisions.

VIDEO: Paul Ryan's Testy Exchange with WJRT Anchor Terry Camp
Republican Vice Presidential nominee Paul Ryan had a testy exchange during an interview on Monday with with WJRT in Flint, Mich. (video, via BuzzFeed, above).
The interview took a tense turn when WJRT's Terry Camp asked Ryan if the United States has a gun problem. Ryan said the country has a "crime problem" and noted that gun laws "aren't properly enforced." He went on to advocate crime prevention in another way:
Ryan: The best thing to help prevent violent crime in the inner cities is to bring opportunity in the inner cities, is to help people get [inaudible] in the inner cities, is to help teach people good discipline, good character. That is civil society. That's what charities and civic groups and churches do to help one another make sure that they can realize the value in one another.
Camp: And you can do all that by cutting taxes? With a big tax cut?
Ryan: Those are your words, not mine.
At that point in the interview, a Ryan aide can be heard in the background ending the interview, saying, "Thank you very much, sir." Both Camp and Ryan stood up. Read more

Bureau . Schofield Hall 201 . Eau Claire, WI 54702
phone: (715) 836-4741
fax: (715) 836-2900
EAU CLAIRE — Muli Linder, a physician and an officer in the Israel Defense Forces, was the 67th Refusenik to sign what has become known as "The Combatant's Letter." He will speak at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire about the costs of war and peace in Israel at 7 p.m. Monday, April 19, in the Schneider Social Science Auditorium.
In January 2002, in the midst of the second Intifada, a group of 50 Israeli reserve officers and combat soldiers decided that fighting in Gaza and the West Bank was not protecting the lives of their friends and family but oppressing the Palestinian population and jeopardizing the security of the State of Israel through colonial expansion. Their belief that the occupation is inflicting pain and suffering upon millions of innocent civilians led them to draft a letter that became known as "The Combatant's Letter." The soldiers became known as Refuseniks and established an organization called Courage to Refuse.
In the interest of peace, Israel's security and moral character, and the human rights of millions of Palestinians, Refuseniks refuse to perform military service in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. There is a personal cost — approximately half of the Refuseniks have been court martialed and jailed for periods of up to 35 days as a result of their refusal to serve in what they view as an unjust occupation. Membership in Courage to Refuse has grown to nearly 600 combatants from all units of the Israeli military (the Israel Defense Forces).
The presentation will be free and is open to students, faculty and the public. Voluntary donations will be accepted and peace-related materials will be sold to support the efforts of Courage to Refuse.
The event is sponsored by the UW-Eau Claire Geography Club and the Refuser Solidarity Network, with support from the UW-Eau Claire Center for International Education.

More on June Bike of the Month Contest Winner
Spotlight on Rahoul Ghose
Bike of the Month Winner
Even before Rahoul got his 2010 black and gold Triumph Thruxton, he knew he'd be making several customizations to his new bike. Rahoul already had a shopping list in his head including the British Customs Air Box Removal Kit, BC Fender Eliminator Kit with smaller turn signals and a Lucas-inspired rear lamp, CRG mirrors, a ceramic-coated 2-into-1 exhaust (with software upgrade), and the requisite Triumph tank knee pads.
Since then, Rahoul has made several additional upgrades, both on a small and large scale on his Triumph Thruxton Motorcycle including the newly released British Customs Headlight Ears (in black). His bike has also been upgraded with the British Customs Oil Pressure Gauge, BC Passenger Peg Block-offs and BC Low-Profile Seat Screws, BC license plate frame with spiked bolts, EBC front racer rotor and brake pads, a billet clutch cable bracket and chrome lifter arm cover, Norman Hyde steering dampener, Ohlins adjustable rear piggy back shocks, a shock hold dress up kit, Biltwell Clubman handlebar (since upgraded to clip-ons), chrome ignition key relocation bracket and oil filter plug.
He already has the LSL rearsets (with shorter race foot pegs) and a stainless steel Micronic oil filter to be installed. And with the bike now sporting a 1″ clip-on handlebar, Rahoul is awaiting the 2010/11 version of the British Customs Black Top Triple Clamp as the bike's next upgrade. His BC Bike of the Month Contest winnings should come in handy.

Handsome Julian Kay (Richard Gere) is a high-class male prostitute working for Scandinavian procurer Anne (Nina Van Pallandt); most of his clientele is made up of wealthy, older women. As a favor to a pimp named Leon (Bill Duke), Julian agrees to do...
American Gigolo -- Open-ended Trailer from Paramount
American Gigolo -- A slick Los Angeles callboy finds love and redemption in Paul Schrader's ultra-stylish drama. High-living prostitute Julian Kay (Richard Gere, stepping in for John Travolta) has it all: the Mercedes, the clothes, access to Beverly Hills' swankiest establishments, and a stable of rich, older female clients. But it all falls apart after he does a favor for his former pimp (Bill Duke) and the trick turns up dead a short while later; Julian's actual client won't give him an alibi, and police detective Sunday (Hector Elizondo) doesn't believe the gigolo's denials.
A Beverly Hills gigolo becomes the prime suspect in a murder investigation. Heavy sexual content.
Julian Kaye (Richard Gere) is a male escort in Los Angeles whose job supports his expensive taste in cars, stereophonic equipment, cocaine and clothes. He is, at times, blatantly narcissistic and superficial; however, he claims to take some pleasure in his work from being able to sexually satisfy women.
When on an assignment for his primary procuress, Anne (Nina Van Pallandt), he meets Michelle Stratton (Lauren Hutton), the unhappy wife of a local politician, who becomes interested in him. Julian's other pimp, Leon (Bill Duke), sends him to the house of a financier, Mr. Rheiman, who asks Julian to physically abuse and have sex with his wife while he watches them.
As Julian begins to get to know Michelle, he learns that the financier's wife, Mrs. Rheiman, was murdered. Los Angeles Police Department Detective Sunday (Hector Elizondo) investigates Julian as a primary suspect. Though he was with a client, Lisa Williams (K Callan), on the night of the murder, the client refuses to give Julian an alibi in order to protect her and her husband's reputations.
As Julian's relationship with Michelle deepens, suspicion of the murder mounts against him. He soon realizes that he is being framed and grows increasingly desperate. His mounting anguish is visually represented by a degeneration in style as his clothes become rumpled, he goes unshaven, and he even rents a cheap commuter car after his Mercedes SL has been tampered with.
Julian finally confronts Leon, who confesses that one of the other, younger gigolos who works for him had killed the wealthy man's wife, and Leon had conceived the plan to frame Julian. After an argument, Julian accidentally pushes Leon over the apartment balcony and he falls to his death.
With no one to help him, Julian ends up in jail, awaiting trial for the murder. However, when all seems lost, Michelle risks her reputation and that of her husband to provide Julian with the alibi that can save him from prison.

Very nice room and the buffet breakfast was awesome.
The big window with a view to the sea!
The place was nice- good area - comfy bed and great view!!
Staff at first seemed nice but then acted like we were shifty!!! Asked for identification twice!!! Then the next morning when out keys would not work- said we did something and it. Was our fault. The sent security to our room to make sure it was really our room!! Like we were scamming!!! So appalled!! We are very upstanding people!! Also- I booked the room partially for the indoor pool- my husband is a big swimmer. We got up the next morning- went to swim- the pool does not open until 10 am!!!!!! Checkout is 11- that is not even time to use it!!! Needs to open 7 or 8!!!! Probably won't stay there next time. Lot of ither choices.
The bed was amazing - may have been the best bed I have ever slept in.
Decor - some updates have beenmade but more are needed. Also, strong mold smell at the pool.
I liked the location of the hotel, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was good and the room was best I have ever stayed in. Everything I needed and wanted was in that room. Such an ideal room with a family visiting to stay in.
There was nothing I didn't like.
Location Rooms Staff Everything
Too many loud kids on the weekends, but it's the Ocean. Maybe consider Adult only floors
I was only there for one night but the staff and cleanliness were outstanding
My plans had to change six days before my trip. I tried to cancel my second night but my request was denied. At this time of year considering the number of vacancies and lack of demand, I don't understand why a refund wouldn't have been possible.
My room view of the beach,and location.
Fruit flies everywhere, and the tvs need updating,
Age of rooms...weird floor named M...that you can get stuck on if you get off on it from the elevator.
view of the ocean; it was advertised as partial and was a bit better than that
it is really old; it has been kept up with paint, etc but it really needs to be remodeled kitchen appliances are really old!
I loved the staff and the building was beautiful. This is my first time there and it will definitely be my go to spot in the future.
There needs to be more change machines for the washer/dryers. I had to go down 2 floors and seach for a change machine.
The pool was awesome and the outdoor hot tubs. Bedroom is separate from the kitchen and living room which makes having privacy nice. Lots of room. Oceanfront room was nice having the beach right behind you.
The Air conditioner could have been cooler. Room seemed to be alittle warm.
Upgraded to an ocean view definitely worth it, walking distance to restaraunts but still quiet ( although this was October ). Hot tub indoor pool. Great temperpedic beds
Old rooms could use some updating
The view was amazing and Mary at the front desk was so awesome. We will definitely be back.
Nothing everything was wonderful
Sauna was a great added benefit!
Hot tub was dirty.
The pool is a real added feature, particularly off-season. Hot tub and sauna (didn't try) are also nice additions. Likely very crazy/crowded in the summer.
Restaurant was closed and it was cold and rainy. Would have been nice to have the option to stay inside, but a local place across the street (Liquid Assets) was wonderful....we lucked out.
limited handicap parking. Single mom with 2 adult children with handicaps - NO one would assist us. In fact, we were completely ignored.
The staff reception was warm efficient and set the tone for the rest of the stay. While the dinning room and lounge area were closed, the close proximity of restaurants more than made up for the loss. The pool was grate and the location of the gaming area were thoughtful.
The restaurant and bar were closed. The views that would have been available were missed. There seemed to have a glitch with the phone and room access key. The stop working or sent out incorrect messages periodically. Instruction for operatinng the television's should be more readily available. No dish washing detergent. Hey!! Wha happened to the wine glasses
Staff upgrade our room to a fantastic location!
Restaurant staff unfriendly and unattentive.
staff was friendly and very helpful room was large we had a suite, bed was comfortable
the air conditioning unit was loud.. the pillows were less than satisfactory and we had to ask for pillow cases and you could hear guests from other rooms and floors through our vents
Pool was nice and the bed was comfortable.
Air conditioner was noisy and woke me up a few times when it kicked on. Also, the water had a funky smell. The bathroom could have been nicer as well.
The room was exceptionally clean and it had plenty of room.

Despite this acceleration of funding and interest around digital health, we felt the need this year to ask the question – is it enough?
We are living in an "App for that world" which shows no sign of dissipating anytime soon. However, in the healthcare world, will an application-based approach to driving change have a "meaningful" enough impact on access to care, quality of care, and costs – without really rethinking today's delivery and payment system architecture and supporting technology? Is a bottom-up redesign and re-platforming of our care and payment system needed to allow all parties to succeed in a value-based model?
At this year's DHIS we will be showcasing those companies and innovative individuals with the insights to envision the way things should be done in a value-based system and intent to develop new enterprise models that best facilitate the delivery of care and business solutions intended – enabled through technology.
Our sessions will focus on connectivity, simplicity, collaboration, and the development of novel business models that will in fact turn various healthcare sectors and sub-sectors upside down. Last year's DHIS was applauded as a standout event in what has become a crowded digital health annual event calendar. We have no doubt you will be equally engaged and inspired by the program we are developing for this year.

This would be managed in the smb.conf file. You will need to set up users in the linux box and add them to the smbpasswd file.

You won't find the word "citiot" or the phrase "city idiot" on Wikipedia, but folks across Minnesota's pheasant range have made it a frequently used part of their vocabulary in recent autumns. In places like Windom, Litchfield, Dawson, Jackson, and Padua, locals use the term daily and dread the coming crush of city idiots. As Saturday's 2009 Minnesota pheasant hunting opener approaches, let me offer a few suggestions on how to avoid becoming the target of such a label.
Avoid Crowds
Consider spending Friday night at a hotel near where you plan to hunt for the opener. At the very least, wake up an hour or two earlier this year, so you aren't one of the Twin Cities pheasant hunters racing out of suburbia on highways 12, 212, 169, or 94 at 7AM to find the first WMA off the highway just in time for the 9AM opening bell. Don't be the guy that splits two groups of hunters only 400 yards apart to make your own mad dash to the center of that WMA with shotgun blasting in every direction at 8:57AM.
Show a Little Respect for the Locals
Minnesota families across the pheasant range don't mind if you come to their little part of "heaven" for a day trip to chase roosters. However, they do want you to show a little respect. Remember, for a lot of these folks, farming is their livelihood. So, don't shoot at roosters when they are flushing toward tractors, houses, or people. Don't go crashing through standing crops. And, for crying out loud, know and obey trespass laws. One pheasant hunting trespasser will ruin it for the rest of us forever in the mind of a landowner.
Eat Local and Order the Hot Beef Commercial
A couple of years ago, I ordered a hot beef commercial off a café lunch menu. I'd never heard of a hot beef commercial before. Turns out, it's an open face hot beef sandwich with mashed potatoes, stuffing and gravy. It was phenomenal. This hunting season, give back to the community growing the birds you're chasing by simply having breakfast or lunch at the local establishments. You may find a new favorite hot dish!
Hang Around for the Golden Hour
Citiots walk hard through the middle of the day burning themselves out well before the "golden hour." Many are already on the highways back to suburbia by 3PM completely missing the best hunting hour of the day. During the final hour of the day, pheasants fly into grassy roosting areas like WMAs and WPAs after having spent their entire day filling their stomachs under the safety of corn stalks. Many PFers hunt only the final hour of the day and successfully bag their daily limit every time.
Set a Good Example
During a day of hunting, we all make a lot of choices; should I drive down this unmarked road, I don't know if that bird is on public land, that farmer has a goofy hair cut and maybe I should make fun of him to my buddies, et al. The world is becoming less and less forgiving of our blaze orange and camouflaged group, so we must never give others a reason to point their finger at us. Let's all do our part to end the use of the term "citiot" by making good choices this season.
I hope you all have a fun, safe, and successful start to the 2009 pheasant season.
Are you a member of Pheasants Forever? Join Today!
On Monday, September 21st, Moorhead will become the center of the pheasant hunting universe. You see, the U.S. Department of Agriculture is coming to Moorhead's AmericInn Lodge for a listening session with farmers, landowners, hunters and concerned citizens about the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP).
CRP is undoubtedly the most successful conservation program in modern times. It is the single biggest reason Minnesota's pheasants have rebounded over the last decade. Unfortunately, over 4.2 million acres have expired nationwide since 2005; and over the next five years, another 21 million more acres are slated to expire.
Pheasants Forever members in attendance last night during the country's first listening session in Washington state have reported back that the USDA is considering a drop in CRP enrollment to 24 million acres nationwide. In Pheasants Forever's view, this is completely unacceptable and we urge all of our members and supporters to take immediate action by contacting the USDA in opposition of this proposal. That makes participating in the public comment period and public meetings about CRP the most significant action you can take as a Minnesota pheasant or duck hunter.
It's important that the USDA hear from Minnesota's concerned sportsmen and women, landowners, business owners, and individuals with views in support of CRP. Comments don't need to be detailed and lengthy to be effective. Participants should tell the USDA leaders who they are and why CRP is important to them.
Here are a few suggestions from Pheasants Forever about key CRP messages to consider:
5PM to 7PM on Monday, September 21, 2009
AmericInn Lodge and Suites
Moorhead, Minn.
(218) 287-7100
If you can't make it to Moorhead on Monday, there are other options to voice your support for CRP. Public comments on CRP are due by October 19, 2009.
• Email comments to email@example.com
• Submit comments online at the Federal eRulemaking Portal at www.regulations.gov
• Mail comments to: CRP SEIS, c/o TEC Inc., 8 San Jose Dr., Suite 3-B, Newport News, VA 23606

Link: Heartbleed update 15 Apr 2014Posted by Tony Law in Impact of IT, ITasITis, Managing IT, Tech Watch, Technorati, Uncategorized.

A quick follow up, back from a few days away.
Huffington Post have a recent update which notes that the Open SSL vulnerability applies in major products from Cisco and Juniper Networks. They also repeat what's becoming the consensus on passwords: change your passwords for services which you know were vulnerable but have now been patched. There's no point in changing a password which might still be at risk.
They reference the Mashable resource on what's been patched a,md copy the patchable list: Google (and Gmail), Yahoo (and Yahoo Mail), Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, Tumblr, Etsy, GoDaddy, Intuit, USAA, Box, Dropbox, GitHub, IFTTT, Minecraft, OKCupid, SoundCloud and Wunderlist. A quick look, though, suggests that the Mashable article was a one-off and the list is not being kept updated.
The article also recommends turning off external access to your home network: the sort of capability, for example, that you might use for remote access through LogMeIn, TeamViewer or similar. If you're not using this kind of facility, disable it. Your firewall should already be holding the line on this.
And check what your Internet provider is doing and the status of your wireless router. Being a BT user. with a BT Home Hub, I tried searching the bt.com website for information on Heartbleed but nothing surfaced. It would be nice to know.
Huffington suggests that, at the moment, public WiFi has to be treated as an unknown quantity since you can't tell what infrastructure they use or whether it's been patched. BT again doesn't have any information on the impact of Heartbleed on BT Wifi (Openzone, as was) but it does say that user details are encrypted when you log in to their service. It's perhaps ironic that they offer free Cisco VPN software, which you can download when connected to one of their hotspots. I didn't know this. I'll take it up for my laptop.
I also have an O2 Wifi locator app on my phone. There's nothing about security on their website. Anyone with other Wifi-finder apps? Please check their sites and post a comment here about what you find.

reCaptcha uses one problem to crack another 27 Nov 2008Posted by Tony Law in Tech Watch, Technorati.
Tags: human, reCaptcha, security
4 comments
You've heard of Amazon's Mechanical Turk function call, which provides a software interface to human agents? A call to the Turk offers a task – anything a human might do and a computer can't, like deciding "Does this image include a face?" – to the community, and acts as agent for any appropriate payment as well.
And you're familiar too with the grid approach to large scale problems, farming out small components of a task to large numbers of distributed PCs and using their idle cycles to contribute to the task.
One task for the Turk might be interpreting the parts of scanned text which Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software fails to successfully digitise. Some years ago I was involved with scanning in the American Petroleum Institute thesaurus: a very large volume. We had a success rate of about 95%, excellent for those days. But finding and correcting the gaps and mistakes was still a time consuming task.
It appears the New York Times (NYT) is undertaking the digitisation of its archives: with older print material, the success rate can be as low as 80% accuracy.
The Guardian, in its Technology section, reports on a truly innovative approach to this problem which made me shout for joy – because in tackling it, a quite different problem is harnessed and both are solved. Each problem becomes part of the solution to the other. How elegant is that?
Luis van Ahn of Carnegie Mellon University invented the Captcha technique that many online services use to defeat spambots. It's good, but not entirely effective (watch his online video to see why not). Now, van Ahn has harnessed the NYT's problem to become part of the Captcha solution, and in doing so is also solving the NYT's problem. In effect, every user who signs up using the new reCaptcha becomes a Mechanical Turk for the NYT (or the Internet Archive, also being tackled).
van Ahn says he works on "Human Computation, which harnesses the combined computational power of humans and computers to solve large-scale problems". reCaptcha is a classic of this approach. It will display two "puzzles" from the NYT's digitisation project. One will be a word whose correct digitisation is already known. The other will be one the software has failed to analyse. Fairly obviously, it's the first one whose correct interpretation is the key to being permitted to sign up. But when several people have provided the same interpretation of the second, so far unsolved, word then two things happen.
First, it is added to the library of "known" puzzles. This means that the puzzles presented to the users are real puzzles, likely to be far less easy for spambots to solve. After all, it's already been demonstrated that quality OCR software finds them hard to analyse
But second, the solution is returned to the NYT project as a presumed correct interpretation of that segment of the scanned text – so the NYT project progresses.
For me, it's this synergy of two apparently unrelated puzzle tasks which is the beauty and the elegance of the solution. Who says IT people can't be creative?!

"The narrator, to be honest, has often found it difficult finding his own way around, but feels a competent reader need not become lost in the detail and should enjoy the story just the same."
-from an afterword titled 'Useless Learned Explanations'
As a semiotician, philosopher, essayist, literary critic and former Harvard professor, we can be sure that Umberto Eco is a smart, well-read man. If he creates a narrator who has difficulty navigating his own creation, what chance do we readers possibly have at it?
If you need to know exactly what's going on in a story as you read it, do not go anywhere near this book. But if, as the narrator suggests, you are a 'competent reader' who doesn't get 'lost in the detail' you are likely to enjoy The Prague Cemetery immensely. The narrative takes place all over the second half of the nineteenth century, featuring spies, counter-spies, secret service agents, literary giants, and Simonini, our dual-personality protagonist who has the world in his palm thanks to unusual talents as a forger of documents. There is no natural space in this plot for anything resembling 'clarity'.
Most novels can't pull this off, but for the author of such historical masterpieces as The Name of the Rose and The Island of the Day Before, readers know they are in good hands and Eco proves it by pushing the novel forward at a dizzying, schizophrenic pace. It helps that every 4 - 5 pages the author's own ink-drawn illustrations are added to animate the endless barrage of characters. And food. It's hard to get to know any characters in this world, but they are always eating, always hungry, and maybe that's how Eco made this impossible novel work so well.
We're on the final theme for Summer Read! For the last two weeks of the program we'll be focusing on "Be" – have you borrowed anything recently that helped you with an issue or made you think of your life in different way? This theme is all about that. If you're thinking about your spiritual self, thinking about a change in career, want to expand your interests by trying out a new hobby, drop into a branch and find something to quench that thirst for books!
We also have a lot of fiction that is applicable for the "Be" theme. Classics like "Jonathan Livingston Seagull," newer best-sellers like "Life of Pi" and "the Shack," and newer fiction like "the Opposite of Art" and "House of Secrets" would all be perfect for "Be" and might give you something to ponder.
So join the Calgary Public Library for a 9-week summer reading adventure. Each week we're diving into a new theme: explore, play, imagine, create, live, laugh, learn, grow, and… be. Together we'll discover new books that will keep you reading all summer. We'll post information about the weekly theme every Wednesday here on our Readers' Nook blog and on our Facebook page.
When you comment on our Summer. Read. Facebook posts, telling us what books or DVDs or CDs you've been enjoying, you'll be entered to win great prizes. There are weekly prizes of leather-bound journals and CPL tote bags, as well as ten grand prize Kobo eReaders! You can also enter by filling out a paper ballot at your local library.
Summertime is the time for growth at the Calgary Public Library. Have more success growing a variety of plants with our extensive gardening collection, help your children grow with our hundreds of parenting titles and help your community grow by reading about urban planning.
Maybe you would like to do the growing with our wonderful self-help books, CDs and DVDs or maybe you'd like to grow your own business with a book on small business creation.
What have you always wanted to learn? To speak another language? To repair your own car? How about yoga? Or world history? Well, the library can help you learn how to do all these things and more! The problem will be deciding what to do first. Every time I walk through the library, I discover something else I would love to learn about. Check out books, CDs, DVDs and the E-library for all kinds of learning opportunities!

Cramer's 7 Stocks in 60 Seconds: BIIB DHI TOL CSCO PCLN HUN MLNX (Update 1)
Check out Jim Cramer's latest trading recommendations on "Action Alerts Plus".
(Updates from 10:45 a.m. ET with closing information.)
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Here's what Jim Cramer had to say on CNBC's "Squawk On The Street" Thursday:
Cramer noted how strong Biogen Idec (BIIB) stock is even though the company's ALS drug failed. "I think this is a great company," Cramer said. BIIB shares closed down 1.4% Thursday.
Surprised at Stifel Nicolaus upgrading both DR Horton (DHI) and Toll Brothers (TOL), Cramer said, "It's a bit late," then added, "This is the impetus behind the group going up." DHI and TOL both closed flat.Cramer thinks the Cisco (CSCO) upgrade to outperform by RBC is important. "Cisco is doing better than people think," he said. CSCO closed up 1%. Following another upgrade on Priceline.com (PCLN), Cramer called it "the last darling standing." PCLN was up 1.6%. Speaking about Huntsman (HUN), Cramer said its new CEO could stabilize and take the stock to $20 a share. HUN ended the day up 3.3%. By contrast, calling it the disaster du jour, Cramer pointed to the stock falloff at Mellanox Technologies (MLNX) after the CFO left. "Ask Herb Greenberg," he said of his CNBC colleague. "That's all you need to know." MLNX plummeted 17% Thursday.

Nice piece but a little light
By Jed S. from Mason, OH on Aug 20, 2012
Practical, Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
The piece looks nice. It's a bit shorter than one might think. For bolted together furniture getting adult use it will work. However, I wouldn't expect it to hold up to constant or "child" use. The dresser and 2 night stands were relatively inexpensive.

True, I remember the game going black for a second and the start menu popping up, and then thinking "Shit."
But seriously, one thing Microsoft did get right is that they pretty much reserved the windows-key as a system-wide shortcut key. Start-D (desktop), Start-L (lock), Start-R (run), Start-F (find), Start-E (explorer). I *love* those key bindings.
Contrast with Mac's F9, F10, F11 and F12 keys. If your program just happens to use one of those keys, you're shit-out-of-luck (as is the case when trying to debug something in Visual Studio in a virtual machine, for example).

People here need to subdue their knee-jerk reactions -- "OMFG Amazon == PURE EVIL, KITTEN KILLERS!" -- and examine the situation from a few different angles before jumping to action (or at least, the thought of action). Jumping on the "get the pitchforks!" bandwagon every time during a controversy dilutes calls to action that might actually matter, weakens any valid points made by your party, and destroys any diplomatic solution to the matter at hand.

Are you really suggesting that denying service to minorities is an acceptable cost saving measure?
Is this a serious question? Businesses are interested in getting the biggest ROI and therefore cut services that aren't profitable. This happens all the time outside of your armchair rights-activist circles. Amazon isn't offering hosting services so you can feel warm and fuzzy about the world - it's offering services to make cold, hard cash. Why should they bleed money and risk a nasty litigation process without any potential return on investment? Wikileaks came and it will go, and most people outside of civil liberty circles will forget about it in 3-6 months (which may be a gross overestimate). This really is a no-brainer on Amazon's part.
Now popularity is reason enough to discriminate?
What should Amazon do, in your opinion? Drag this out on principle, lose a bunch of money or cut Wikileaks' legally dubious services? Sounds simple to me. Show me a company that wouldn't cut Wikileaks under these circumstances*, and I will show you a company that will be bankrupt soon. *the only alternative is what they already did: move the servers to a country that offers some kind of safe-harbor against this.

And if I'd ask you to name another compiled language with dynamic message routing/dispatch it would be what?
Why do you think a compiled language with dynamic message routing/dispatch is superior to others? Personally, I think message routing and dispatching sucks (as implemented in Objective-C/XCode) because of a) null pointers and b) calling non-existent methods is perfectly valid. I can't tell you how many times XCode didn't throw even a warning (let alone a compile-time error) because I tried to call a method that didn't exist, or whose signature I messed up by, say, one parameter. Sometimes, I've had to clean all targets just to see if there are any warnings which the compiler didn't report previously -- and if you're using OpenFeint (for example), rebuilding the entire project is very, VERY slow. By the way, passing parameters as key:value pairs just so that you can pass parameters out of order creates one hell of a readability mess for no real gain.
How about passing messages to null pointers? Why should that even be legal? Java will complain about it at compile time, why can't XCode handle that at compile time too instead of letting my program blow up with _TERMINATED UNCAUGHT EXCEPTION_? (Yes, I'm a Java developer by day, iPhone by night)
But more to the point, why does it matter if a language is compiled, has a dynamic message routing/dispatch blah blah blah...? If the language does the job well and is easy to use, who really cares if it's object oriented, message/dispatch, procedural, functional, etc? Personally, I don't think that Obj-C is the best tool for the job as I feel like I just can't code as quickly in Obj-C as I can in Java (or PHP). Partly it's syntax problems (all those square brackets are kind of a pain), partly the nature of the language as described above, which makes reading and testing code much more difficult, IMHO.

The Port of Jacksonville will handle exports of the new 2012 Honda CR-V that is being manufactured at the Honda plant in East Liberty, Ohio.
American Honda Motor selected Jaxport and its auto processing companies Amports and Wallenius Wilhemsen Logistics to handle a major portion of its growing U.S. export volume following a market study and competitive process, the Jacksonville Port Authority said.
Honda's U.S. exports are increasing for this current fiscal year, with projections for robust growth in sales to continue.
Like other Japanese auto makers with U.S. plants, Honda's production and exports from the U.S. were curtailed last year by the tsunami and subsequent nuclear disaster in Japan that reduced exports to the U.S. of auto parts.
WWL handles exports of the Odyssey, Crosstour, and Pilot models through Jacksonville, while Amports services the two and four- door Accords, as well as the new CR-V business.
