The shade is beautiful and is very close to the picture. I wanted a white shade and this is perfect. The base is nice also but I had a lamp with the pull chain so I only used the shade.
I was looking for a Tiffany-style table lamp to sit on tall chest of drawers, so I didn't want the lamp to be very tall. We'd just repainted our bedroom a deep gray, and it looked like this lamp would be perfect - not overpowering, but a nice addition to the room, with neutral colors that blended with our decor. I was concerned because some of the reviews indicated that the shade was plastic, not glass, and other reviews said the base was cheap. I totally disagree. The base is solid and looks like a reproduction of a Tiffany base. The shade is glass. The colors are exactly as pictured. I had looked for a lamp like this in lighting stores, and the lamps were far more expensive than this. Once again, I am extremely happy with my Overstock purchase!
I am very satisfied with the quality and design of this Tiffany-style White Jewels Table Lamp. It is the perfect accent lamp.
I love the ambience of this lamp. It casts off shimmers on the wall behind it. It is very pretty.
Some of the other reviews say this lamp has a plastic shade, NOT SO!!!!! The weight of it alone tells ya it's glass. The base is also metal NOT PLASTIC, is it bronze not silver like others say. It looks just like the picture, a very nice lamp. One thing manufacture could have done is use a taller harp, the part the shade sets on, because it' a little hard getting the light bulb in especially if your using the new style light bulbs like we are. You must remove the shade and the harp do put the bulb in. That's the only draw back, if ya want to count that as a draw back. How often do ya change the new bulbs? In 5 years I have only changed 1, anyway, It does throw off enough light and looks very handsome in our early American living room ya can't read by it but it wasn't bought for that purpose. My wife was ecstatic when she opened it X-Mas morning and I scored more points!! YEA ME.
This is a beautiful, well-made, and sturdy little lamp that I use on a small table between two lounge chairs. The glass is very white; the color looks a little different in the picture. I am very happy with the lamp.
Very pleased with my Tiffany-style table lamp purchase. Everything about the lamp is just perfect for the location and purpose in mind. Very pretty!
This lamp is not made from stained glass - it is primarily made from PLASTIC. I bought this lamp based on the description: "This lamp is made with beautiful stained glass wrapped in copper foil" - if there's some stained glass in there, I couldn't find it. If there's glass in there - it's 1/100th and the plastic portion is 99/100th. It looks and feels and weighs like plastic. When you "ping" the "glass" it thuds. Glass doesn't "thud." A lamp shade made of glass would have weighed 5x what this lampshade weighed. I own real glass lamps; I've worked with stained glass. The instructions said to clean it with a wax polish cleaner. Who cleans glass with polish? I'm so disappointed at the wasted time spent on ordering and returning this lamp (and to pay the nominal fee of returning the lamp). Crazy. If you're ok with plastic, then it's a nice looking lamp shade (I didn't pull the whole lamp out of the packaging).
A little shorter in height than I anticipated, but it works nicely on my night stand. It could use a toggle chain as the switch on the power cord falls behind my table.
If you're looking for something handcrafted and an "authentic" antique, look somewhere else. But if you want a lamp that looks great in a traditional setting, it's perfect. The glass that looks grey in the pictures is actually more clear, however. So get a low wattage bulb or a dimmer for it. Otherwise the light shines too brightly through parts of the shade.

It's fair to say that I am obsessed with blocking.
Blocking is such a key step in the knitting process. Blocking is the difference between a project being done, and being finished.
I think there's a fair bit of confusion about blocking, and the language has a lot to do with it: you hear about mats and pins and wires, and many knitters think that it's complicated and requires special equipment. Not at all! For the majority of projects, all that's needed is a wash.
Yes, just a wash.
Generally speaking, the only types of projects that require special equipment and treatment are lace projects. Otherwise, just give the item a wash.
Indeed, I never declare a project finished until it's been washed and dried. It's essential if you're going to be doing any seaming. If pieces are going to stretch or shrink that needs to happen before you sew up so the seams don't pucker.
But even if it's not going to be seamed, washing a piece makes it look so much better. The stitches even out and the wrinkles will disappear. The yarns bloom – a silk-based yarn gets shinier and prettier. A wool yarn softens and fluff up. A linen yarn loses the 'crunch'. Your cables will tidy up and pop, your ribbing become more even, your stockinette get smoother.
And chances are, the yarn you worked with is pretty dirty – as it moves from the mill to packaging to shipping and to the yarn shop, yarns gathers machine oils from the spinning, dust from the mill air, other fibre strands and fluff from the yarn shop, and lint from whatever else it's been stored with.
And of course, as you knit it, it might gather coffee stains, pet hair, cookie crumbs. After a good wash, you knitting just looks better. Try it next time you knit two of something – socks, mitts, sleeves. Wash one and compare it against the other. You'll be very pleasantly surprised.
In fact, this is what blocking is. For most things, when a pattern says to block, all that needs to happen is to wash it. The only type of knitting that needs special blocking treatment is lace; lace requires stretching to open up the stitchwork and make it look its best. (This is when you might need to worry about mats and wires and pins and all that jazz. Otherwise, nope.)
Washing is absolutely the best way to block. Neither pressing nor steam blocking can be fully guaranteed to take care of whatever stretching or shrinking is going to happen; and pressing can flatten out your knitting – for example, pressing an aran sweater squishes up all that lovely cabling.
Wash it according to the washing instructions on the ball band for the yarn – handwash or machine wash. I tend to air dry most things, even if they are dryer-safe – it saves energy and wear-and-tear on the garment. If you're air-drying, find somewhere you can lay the items flat, if possible. For small items, drape them over a towel rail, or over a laundry rack.
I do like to use a wool-wash. SOAK is fantastic – it's gentle on your fibers, and genuinely does not need to be rinsed out. So easy! If I'm hand-washing, I throw the item in the sink with wool-wash, and let it soak for at least half an hour. You want it to get fully saturated. Then I either roll it in a towel, or send it through my front-loading washing machine's spin cycle – to get most of the water out – and then lay it flat to dry. But, equally, if the yarn you're using is machine dryable, go for it.
Now, if it's a lace piece, this is when I get my mats and pins out.
Lace needs to be stretched to look its best – the yarnovers open up, and the decrease lines get crisp and pretty. A piece of lace straight off the needles is crumpled and lumpy.
I've just finished up a circular shawl project, and after I squeezed most of the water out, I pinned it out to dry, to stretch it, to make the patternwork open up, and to get those lovely pointed edges to be pointy.
Note the ruler: as I pinned, I measured it to make sure the points were equally spaced, and that the radius was the same all the way around, to make sure it was a neat and tidy circle.
You can buy blocking kits from various craft-tool suppliers, they usually contain mats and pins. I bought these mats from my local sporting goods supplier, Canadian Tire. They're 2 feet by 2 feet, nice and big for larger projects. The ones sold at craft suppliers are often smaller, which can be useful if you've not got a lot of floor space, or have smaller projects.
The pins are important – they need to be rust-proof t-pins. Buy the best you can find. You don't want rust-stains on your work!
If your piece has straight edges, blocking wires can be very helpful… using them saves a lot of pinning. Feed the wire along the straight edge, like so:
And our friends at Signature Needle Arts have just released a most excellent new product: a blocking cloth. It's got grid-lines woven in, at one-inch intervals.
I used it recently when I blocked a tank top with a lace edge. I gave the piece a wash, and it came out beautifully – although when I laid it out on top of hte cloth I could see that the scalloped edge was definitely not straight, and the scallops weren't very even or pretty.
So I wet the piece and pinned it out again, with the cloth on top of my blocking mats, using the grid-lines on the cloth as a guide. I got a perfect straight edge, with even scallops. Brilliant!
But yes, whether you use fancy tools, or just your bathroom sink, blocking is critical. You'll be thrilled with the results, I promise!
If you'd like to learn more, I've got a Craftsy class on this topic… Let me show you how balloons and plates are useful for blocking hats! In the class I also talk about fiber care and washing and moth prevention and all sorts of other useful tips.

Took a left turn around the Kiss and Green shit
from Joe Budden – Who killed Hip Hop Lyrics on Genius
April 2005 Jada was being asked about his beef with 50 Cent when Green Lantern coincidentally called him. The two spoke about their wins at the previous night's Mixtape Awards as well as discussing the 50/ Jada/ Fat Joe battle. Jada had Green on speakerphone, and unbeknownst to Lantern, rolling cameras picked up the entire conversation. This caused Green to leave as Eminem's DJ and a beef between Green and Jadakiss.

Long ago(about 30 years or so) I had a piece of cake at function that was the best and moistest cake I've ever had.
It was almost wet(kind of soaked through something like Tres Leche) It had pecans in it and it was just called Butter Pecan cake. It was not frosted. Very buttery tasting too. I have looked everywhere and can't find anything that looks like it may be the one. I would love to find something even close, and try to make it. |

Read the reviews on this one. They all talk about how moist it is with the topping baked in. There's also a recipe from scratch. This one uses a cake mix which were even more popular years ago. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Pecan Pie Cake
Boy, it sure sounds like it could be very close with how they are describing it. I was drooling reading it. I will be trying it for the holiday weekend, and post a review when I do. Thank you! |

You're welcome. Hope it's the one. |
How did the cake turn out? |
Thanks again for this recipe! I just made the cake tonight...finally! Matter of fact it is still hot but I tasted it right away so I could post the results. |

Excellent. Looking forward to filling my fridge with these. I pop them from the fridge to the oven to the freezer. Only wish they were stackable. But, they are so wonderful, I don't care that they cannot be stacked. What a pleasure it is to wash them and not still smell the food that was stored in them. It is great to be able to store sauce without worrying about staining.

Good Storage
I had only a few old glass storage containers and needed more once I stopped using my plastic storage. The reviews I read about these talked about lids that didn't fit well and containers that did not stack, but I have no problem with this. The lids do an adequate job (If I want airtight I'll have to go to some plastic seal, right?) and they don't jiggle or wobble. The dishes stack neatly upon each other (but not inside each other). Overall I'm happy with them. I think they are priced a tad high, but they seem to be the only game in town so that's what I had to pay. I bought two of the 2 cup and two of the 5 cup and am being served well with those four and the four I had from my mom's kitchen. I rated them as a 4 rather than a 5 because I like the design on the old ones better than the design on these. But overall, I'm pleased.

classic American product still on the market
Having recently read about how plastic molecules leach into food (esp. hot or fatty foods) I was in the market for good glass containers. These are good sturdy containers and the only ones I know with glass lids. Lacking this I suppose I would have gotten CorningWare. They are attractive and the lids fit without rocking. Amazingly they are still made in America.

Quick and easy storage
I LOVE this container. I bought two awhile ago and kept getting frustrated when both were in use, so I bought two more. I use them in the freezer to store frozen fruit (blueberries, etc.), canned vegetables (olives, beets, etc.), and other items that I use regularly. I love my Pyrex glass containers, too, but these are perfect for fast access: just lift, scoop and close. No fussing with lids, bags, ties or wrap.

The best storage container
This glass container keeps its contents very cold and fresh and it is the perfect size. The best part is that the lid is heavy enough to keep the contents air tight but easily lifts off. I refuse to purchase plastic containers that make me struggle to take the lid off. I love the Anchor Hocking glass containers and own several of them.

Good for limited uses
These look great and keep food fresh with a little breathing at the lid. Beware the lids do not mate exactly with the containers. They are not water-tight. These smaller ones fit better than the larger ones, but the lid might rock a little bit and even rattle. We don't use these as much as we use our Pyrex glass containers with plastic lids (e.g., item #214213). But we still like them a lot, especially for serving.

No more plastic
We wanted to replace the plastic storage tubs that we have been using for years, due to the health risks. I cook everyday as we are vegan and cook local, fresh ingredients in larger quantities, therefore requiring storage for leftovers. These glass storage containers are great. They are nice looking, so we can serve from fridge to table, are versatile because we got several sizes, and the lids work well. We no longer worry about heating plastic and leaching toxic chemical into our food.

For this analysis, academic institutions are divided into three broad Carnegie groups: (1) research, doctorate-granting, and freestanding medical institutions; (2) 2-year colleges; and (3) all other Carnegie institutions (comprehensive universities and colleges, liberal arts colleges, and professional schools and other specialized institutions). Most of the year-to-year change in the number of institutions receiving Federal R&D or "other S&E support" occurred in the second and third groups, particularly in the third group. (See Appendix A, "Federal S&E Support to Historically Black Colleges and Universities" for a discussion of trends in support to this special group of institutions.)
Research, doctorate-granting, and medical institutions. Little variation existed in the number of research, doctorate-granting, and freestanding medical institutions receiving Federal S&E support during the FY 19712000 period. The number with Federal R&D support ranged from 246 to 265. (See figure 4.) The number receiving "other S&E support" ranged from 222 to 259. (See figure 5 and for a detailed breakout by Carnegie classification of the number of institutions receiving R&D or "other S&E support" each year between FY 1971 and FY 2000, see appendix table 1.) During this period, all of the major research universities (89 Carnegie research 1 and 37 research 2 institutions) received support for R&D every year. All of the research 1 institutions and all but two of the research 2 institutions also received "other S&E support" every year. (See appendix table 3 for the number of years institutions within specific Carnegie classifications received support during the 30-year period between FY 1971 and FY 2000.)
Doctorate-granting universities also consistently received Federal R&D support. Among the 52 Carnegie doctorate 1 institutions and 55 Carnegie doctorate 2 institutions, the number receiving R&D support in any given year ranged from 46 to 50 (doctorate 1) and 44 to 54 (doctorate 2). Forty of the doctorate 1 institutions received R&D support every year and an additional 8 received support in more than 20 years. Within the doctorate 2 institutions, 39 received R&D support in all 30 years and an additional 13 received support in more than 20 years. However, the number of doctorate 1 and doctorate 2 institutions receiving "other S&E support" in any year (31 to 51 and 37 to 54, respectively) was subject to greater variation, and fewer institutions in either group received this type of support every year. All doctorate 1 and 2 institutions received "other S&E support" at least once during the period, and all but one in each group received R&D support.[6]
Medical institutions also received Federal R&D support in most years. Among the 57 freestanding medical institutions, the number receiving R&D support in any given year ranged from 26 to 37 and the number receiving "other S&E support" ranged from 27 to 34. During the overall period, 42 medical schools received support, with 41 receiving R&D and 39 receiving "other S&E support."[7] Twenty-two of the 41 freestanding medical schools receiving Federal R&D support received it in each of the 30 years and an additional 8 received support in more than 20 years.
Two-year institutions. The number of 2-year institutions receiving Federal S&E support was never very high; those that received support did so infrequently. The number of 2-year institutions receiving R&D support increased from a low of 15 in FY 1973 to a peak of 118 in FY 1994 and then dropped to 33 in FY 1999 (see figure 4 and appendix table 1); the number receiving "other S&E support" went from a high of 266 in FY 1972 to a low of 23 in FY 1986 and then increased, fluctuating between 90 and 154 after FY 1986. (See figure 5.) Of the approximately 1,500 2-year institutions, only 491 received Federal R&D funding during the FY 19712000 period. Of those institutions, 219 received support in only a single year and an additional 199 received support in two to four years. Only four 2-year institutions received R&D support for more than half of the period (15 years). Nearly half of the 2-year institutions (726) received "other S&E support," with 297 receiving such support in only one or two years and an additional 316 receiving it in three to seven years. (See appendix table 3.)
All other Carnegie institutions. Within this group, the main recipients of Federal S&E funding (in terms of number of institutions supported) were master's or comprehensive institutions, followed by baccalaureate or liberal arts colleges. Members of this group, on average, received support more frequently than 2-year institutions but much less frequently than research, doctorate- granting, and medical institutions. For the group as a whole, the number receiving Federal R&D support fluctuated between 273 and 373 in the 1970s, between 317 and 433 in the 1980s, and between 437 and 536 in the 1990s. (See figure 4 and appendix table 1.) The number receiving "other S&E support" declined from a peak of 806 in FY 1972 to a low of 163 in FY 1983 and then increased again, fluctuating between 464 and 596 in the 1990s. (See figure 5.)
While most of these institutions received some type of Federal S&E support at least once during the 19712000 period, they did not receive support consistently. Of the 529 institutions classified as comprehensive 1 and 2, 458 received R&D support and 499 received "other S&E support" at least once during the FY 19712000 period; among those receiving R&D support, 246 were funded in less than half of the period. Of the 612 liberal arts colleges, 438 received R&D support and 525 received "other S&E support" at least once during the FY 19712000 period; among those receiving R&D support, 331 were funded in less than half of the period, 217 in less than six years of the period. Of the remaining 225 institutions in the other Carnegie institutions group receiving Federal R&D support at least once, only 61 were funded in more than five years. (See appendix table 3.)
[6] The fact that every research and doctorate-granting institution (except Union Institute (D1) and Biola University (D2)) received both R&D and other S&E funds at least once during the FY 1971–2000 period and most of them received both types of support in every year provides some evidence of the usefulness of the 1994 Carnegie Classification scheme for the present analysis.
[7] The remaining 15 schools classified as medical do not appear in the NSF Division of Science Resources Statistics WebCASPAR database. Some of these may be included with the universities that they are part of (University of Connecticut Health Center, Louisiana State University Medical Center) and others may be aggregated into a single institution (University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ)-New Jersey Medical School, UMDNJ-New Jersey School of Osteopathic Medicine, UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School) rather than reported individually.

Seriously Google, well done. As a fan of a teaser campaign and someone always looking for new brand experiences, let alone an ultra-cool floating venue, I have been watching the mystery of the Bay Area Barge unfold.

21 And when his family heard it, they went out to seize him, for people were saying, "He is beside himself." | 21 When his family heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, "He is out of his mind." |
22 And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, "He is possessed by Be-el'zebul, and by the prince of demons he casts out the demons." | 22 And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem said, "He is possessed by Beelzebub ! By the prince of demons he is driving out demons." |
23 And he called them to him, and said to them in parables, "How can Satan cast out Satan? | 23 So Jesus called them and spoke to them in parables: "How can Satan drive out Satan? |
24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. | 24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. |
25 And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. | 25 If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. |
26 And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end. | 26 And if Satan opposes himself and is divided, he cannot stand; his end has come. |
27 But no one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man; then indeed he may plunder his house. | 27 In fact, no one can enter a strong man's house and carry off his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he can rob his house. |
28 "Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter; | 28 I tell you the truth, all the sins and blasphemies of men will be forgiven them. |

30 for they had said, "He has an unclean spirit." | 30 He said this because they were saying, "He has an evil spirit." |
31 And his mother and his brothers came; and standing outside they sent to him and called him. | 31 Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him. |
32 And a crowd was sitting about him; and they said to him, "Your mother and your brothers are outside, asking for you." | 32 A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, "Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you." |
33 And he replied, "Who are my mother and my brothers?" | 33 "Who are my mother and my brothers?" he asked. |
34 And looking around on those who sat about him, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers! | 34 Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, "Here are my mother and my brothers! |
35 Whoever does the will of God is my brother, and sister, and mother." | 35 Whoever does God's will is my brother and sister and mother." |

Graphics Card as a Cheap Supercomputer

title={GRAPHICS CARD AS A CHEAP SUPERCOMPUTER},

The current powerful graphics cards, providing stunning real-time visual effects for computer-based entertainment, have to accommodate powerful hardware components that are able to deliver the photo-realistic simulation to the end-user. Given the vast computing power of the graphics hardware, its producers very often offer a programming interface that makes it possible to use the computational resources of the graphics processors (GPU) to more general purposes. This step gave birth to the so-called GPGPU (general-purpose GPU) processors that – if programmed correctly – are able to achieve astonishing performance in floating point operations. In this paper we will briefly overview nVidia CUDA technology and we will demonstrate a process of developing a simple GPGPU application both in the native GPGPU style and in the add-ons for Matlab (Jacket and Parallel Toolbox).

Anyone in Northern California (or who wants a great excuse to visit NoCa) is invited to join the ACS and the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens in a day of celebrating the Gardens new status as an ACS Reference Garden. A full day of conifer presentations (keynote speaker is Brent Markus of Rare Tree/Conifer Kingdom), guided tours, info tables, rare plant sales and raffles. We've got ACS members coming from all over the Western Region. Come see why MCBG is the biggest visitor draw in all Mendocino County! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Conifer Day at the MCBG
Follow-Up Postings:
Thanks for the tip. I've seen the San Francisco and Berkeley Botanical Gardens, alas, I couldn't easily fit a trip to Mendocino in but will get there next time. I've heard that it's really nice. Slightly OT but their cultivar list of rhododendrons showed a few varieties that haven't been in US commerce for many years, like 'Radium'. I wonder if they have similarly rare cultivars of conifers. Not a cultivar, but that Dacrydium is awesome! |

The Dacrydium is the nicest that I've seen - there are specimens in several botanical gardens hereabouts. Most of the rare conifers at MCBG are species trees (they've got a gorgeous Abies pinsapo var. marocana) but they are building their collection of dwarf cultivars and doing a very nice job of interplanting them with other trees and shrubs. |

Melena & Mike Your hospitality and accommodations made our first anniversary a very special occasion. To celebrate this event in a "Garden of Eden" made it all the more rewarding. We have raved about your haven to all our friends hoping they too can experience what we had. Again thank you and blessings of your choice upon you both. Kind Regards Lee & Dick

The cabin was very clean. The owner Milena showed us around and how things worked. The cabin is equipped with everything from a kitchen, to your individual air conditioning, an electric fireplace, to a Jacuzzi tub, and your own patio. You will also have wonderful fudge nut brownies to welcome you in the kitchen! The owners really try to make sure you have everything you need. Since there is no television and very little cell service (thus the getaway) they have games, magazines, and journals to read. The owners can tell you about hiking trails, where to eat and other things to do in town. Town really isn't that far away. The ambiance is nice as there are a lot of hummingbirds and other assortment of birds that visit, a lot of water features, and beautiful flowers. The breakfast was wonderful: fresh fruit, homemade muffins, and homemade breakfast pizza or frittata (depending on the day). Don't be afraid to tell the owners if you have a special food condition or preference. I thought it was great that the owners sit out with you and talk during breakfast. They are very friendly!

We booked our anniversary stay here two years ago and I will find any excuse to return. The atmosphere here is just perfect, fireplaces are a great addition on cold nights, and the owners are amazing. We are vegetarian and they seemed to go out of there way to make our breakfast something amazing for us. I absolutely love the people and this place :) We will continue to recommend this place to all our friends :)

We have spent many nights in Sedona over the years, but never experience anything like the cabin at Canyon Wren. It was so cozy and comfortable. Love the whirlpool tub and of course the brownies that were homemade. Mike and Milena were so friendly and caring. The breakfast that we ate outdoors on the patio was delicous. Highly recommend the Canyon Wren if you want peace and quiet and of course beautiful scenery.

We honeymooned 20+ years ago in the Wild Rose and have gone back numerous times. My favorite cabins are the Wild Rose and Morning Glory. Mike and Milena are tremendous hosts, the cabins very comfortable and clean. I am looking forward to returning this May. For a great side activity, hike the West Fork. Milena can also provide great information on other hikes and activities in the area.

Beautiful cabin with a wood burning fireplace and plenty of stocked wood. The cabin was immaculate. The owners seem to enjoy and take pride in what they are doing. Very friendly and offered great advice on where to go to eat as well as hiking. The outside was so nice we went and enjoy the upstairs patio... even though it was only 40 degrees out there! Breakfast tasted great (perfect hiking fuel too). It is not easy for me to spend money on rooms (I usually cheap out on 50.00 rooms or stay in a tent) but this was worth (and inexpensive compared to the area). You will not want to leave.

Our one night stay was not enough. We're glad we picked a place away from town and realy enjoyed the porch swing, the many heavenly stars, and view of the mountainside. The cabin was comfortable, clean, convient to downtown Sedona, and a great pick for a memorable stay. Breakfast served on the deck was a special treat. The grounds of the B&B were perfect and the breakfast was more than expected. The innkeepers were very friendly and helpful in advising us of places to see and the best places to eat. We enjoyed our conversations with the B&B hosts and without reservation are happy to report our stay as a very enjoyable experience.

If Sedona is the spiritual center of the world then The Canyon Wren might just be it's hearth- cozy, beautiful wooden cabins- comfort- fireplace-quiet- a surrounding oasis of plants/trees/birds/falling water- the hosts Melina and Mike are like the neighbors you wished you had- gentle, down to earth, generous- will help you with hikes/ dinner reservations/suggestions about Sedona- and Mike makes the best brownies you have ever had- a wonderful refuge and home away from home to explore the amazing beauty of the surrounding canyons and trails.

We have stayed at Canyon Wren Cabins three times, and we always enjoy ourselves each time we stay there. The cabins are cozy and well apportioned, with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Mike and Milena, the innkeepers, are delightful, and they whip up some amazing muffins and fresh fruits for a delicious continental breakfast, and also treat their guests with fabulous brownines in the afternoons. This is a well cared for, quality property, nestled in Oak Creek Canyon just north of Sedona. We will definitely visit again!

My wife and I spent our 50th wedding anniversary at Canyon Wren. It was wonderful. (We have been everywhere and done everything.) Oak Creek Canyon and the city of Sedona are gorgeous. Milena and Mike are splendid at offering suggestions without intruding, hospitality and also privacy. Their recommendations for restaurants are very good. One of the loveliest things of all was breakfast in their beautiful garden with them and their guests. (Guests have the option of dining alone and in privacy, but don't.) Milena has a talent for bringing out the best in people. Unforgettable highlights include climbs up Cathedral Rock and Bell Rock, the Chapel of the Holy Cross, and hiking up West Fork Canyon, but best of all was breakfast with Mike and Milena and the other guests. I would love to return. What an unforgettable experience! It was like a miraculous gift for our Golden Wedding Anniversary.

I think of the three Sony readers with the updated touch screens as the Lexus, the Mercedes, and the Hummer. The Lexus, or the Sony Pocket, is slender, trim, comes in pink and is luscious. The Hummer is the Daily and my gosh golly it's huge. Built like a Zagat's guide on steroids, with wireless and a touch screen interface and did I mention it's huge? It's like a reading sky scraper.
The middle one, the Touch, I think of as the Mercedes. And I want to be clear here, the high-end car analogy, which I will absolutely beat into the ground because that's what we do with analogies around here, is pretty apt and I don't mean it as an insult. The new Sonys are expensive. The Touch is $229 US, the Pocket is $179, and the Daily is not on sale yet but one presumes higher than $230. Compare that to the Kindle, which is $189 for Wifi and 3G, and $139 for Wifi-only. The Nook is $149 for WiFi-only access. In other words, for $10-20 more, you can get a device that has Wifi-connectivity for loading and buying books from the unit itself, vs. the Pocket which does not have any connectivity aside from a USB cable. This is a big issue for me as a reader and is the biggest difference, I think, between the Nook & Kindle and the Sony suite of devices.
Let's get to the good part of the new Sony Touch. Oh my gosh almighty the screen is gorgeous. The touch screen film that was present on prior models from Sony is gone, and the text is now crisp and clear. The contrast has been improved and the screen itself is freaking awesome. The device is very light weight, despite being made of metal (vs. mostly plastic like the Kindle or Nook) and the red one I have here as a demo model is really quite spiffy looking. It is slightly thicker than the Kindle, and smaller in height, but they are about the same width.
Here are some pictures comparing the Touch to the Kindle 3 (I do not have a Nook and can't photograph for comparison – I'm sorry about that).
The touch screen on the Sony is incredibly easy to use. It has a quick response time, and I could both bookmark or, using the stylus, scribble a note on the page I was reading. Ultimately, I found myself using the buttons to turn pages, though, because if I accidentally rested my finger too long on the screen – while picking up the device while I was reading a book or moving it out of the way while I was reading, for example – the pages would jump so far ahead or behind that I'd have trouble finding my place. There isn't a "back" button to return me to the last place I stopped reading so I would have to swipe swipe swipe to return to where I left off before I accidentally jumped a few dozen pages.
I would love it if I could customize the zone where the touch screen would turn a page, and allow some of the screen real estate to be non-responsive. Ultimately I had the same problem with the Touch as I did with the original Kindle. It was hard to find places to handle the device while reading that didn't immediately cause the device to do something, like turn 10 or more pages.
I have been thinking a lot about why Sony went with all touch screen devices. Given the touch interface of the iPod, the iPad, the iPhone, the Android phones, and everything else, is the touch the standard method of device interaction now? I like a touch screen, yes. I have an iPad and a Droid and between them and other devices, there's a ton of things I touch to get them to Do Stuff… but I really don't mind pushing a button to turn a page. In fact, I prefer it. If I want to touch the screen to read something closely, I prefer it not turn pages without my meaning to. There's a lot of room for inadvertent touching (ha ha) with a touch screen, whereas with a clicking button, that's it's only function and it's a lot easier to avoid messing up your place in the book. However, this could be because I'm a bit klutzy with my fingers. I know many people who love reading with a touch screen and have no problems turning pages using a finger swipe.
That said, there is one thing Sony has that the other don't. No, two things. Organization capabilities, and format friendliness.
Me, I love the organization. I love the ability to tag books in Calibre and have a lovely selection of collections organized by whatever crazy method I want. I missed that with the Kindle 2 and Kindle 3. The on-board organization of K2 and K3 is ridiculously poor, and can only be managed ON the device. With the Sony plugged in, I can categorize and tag my books in all manner of different ways, and tag several at once using Calibre, and on the device I know which books are coming out which month, which belong to what subgenre, which are for review and which are for reading without review, and which were recommended by which friend. I'm dizzy just thinking about the joy of that organization. I also love that the Sony has memory card slots on the top of the device, meaning there are even MORE ways to organize my content, whereas the Kindle, picture beneath the Sony Touch, has… none.
Look at the nice organization on the right, compared with WTF is that on the left:
Plus, there's the ability to buy a book at more than one store. Sony accepts .ePub, .html, .PDF, .rtf, .doc, .txt, and probably several more I am not thinking of. There are more places to shop if you have a Sony, and more places to price compare, especially since most stores carry .epub format books. In addition, you can borrow ebooks from a library that has a digital lending option and read those books on a Sony. Presently, it is not an option on the Kindle to read library books, while you can read library books on the Nook.
So with the spiffy screen and the light weight device design and the fantastic organization, what's the downside to the Sonys, aside from price? Ease of Loading and Buying a Book Wirelessly.
With the Sony Touch and the Sony Pocket, you cannot buy a book without purchasing it on a computer, hooking up the device, and loading it on. If I want to load a file onto the Sony, I have to download the file from my inbox or buy it from the store, authenticate the purchase by whichever means that store/file prefers, then upload into Calibre, then tag and make sure the metadata is correct (IF I can even edit the metadata, which I usually can since I strip the DRM), THEN connect the Sony and move the file.
With the volume of books I'm moving around on a given day, that's too much, and far too many steps. If I elect to use a Kindle, I will have to be more vigilant with my on-board collections management on the device, but that's do-able. Nothing is going to make the Sony book loading process easier so long as there isn't a wireless connection on board each device. And that's a serious shame. I am not someone who has the time to download, then upload then move a book file every time I interact with a new book – for me personally, that's several times a week.
Plus, and this is something that folks brought up in yesterday's discussion of the Nook, the corners of the Sony are somewhat pointy and not rounded, and after holding it in one hand for an hour, I totally had a sore indentation on my palm from the corner poking my skin. Plus, as you can see in the picture above, the text size options are more limited than in other devices, such as the Kindle, and the more ways to customize the appearance, the better.
So the positives of the Sony: the screen is wonderful. You can organize your books easily, especially with free software like Calibre, you can shop in more locations, and you can buy more formats.
But it is more expensive, it does not have wireless, and those two factors mean that for me, it is not the right device. I have to return the demo model I have, but I kept asking myself, do I want to own one? Do I want to buy one and keep it as my main reading device?
For me: No, not right now. I will miss being able to look at the screen and see at a glance which books are October, which are November, which are paranormal and which are for review by request, etc. But the other factors that make the device more difficult for me to load are more of a negative than the slight positive of organizing my content once it is on board.
So, for whom does the Sony make the flirtatious come-hither expressions? If you are the type of person who:
- has saved up the good cash for a digital reader
– wants to borrow digital books from the library
– prefers to comparison shop for the best book price at online stores
– must have file organization with categories for your digital books
– loves a touch screen
The Sony Readers may work very well for you.
Do you have one? Do you adore it to no end? Share your preferences – or reason for not choosing the Sony. I'd love to hear your perspective.

Bill Belichick naturally was displeased by what he saw from his team during an emphatic drubbing at the hands of the Washington Redskins on Thursday night.
"I don't think our protection was good enough," he said after the game. "I don't think our passing game was good enough. I don't think our running game was good enough. Our run defense, our pass defense, pass rush, kicking game — they all need to be improved."
That might be true. There would be no point to the preseason if New England wasn't going to make significant progress in the month that remains before the regular season begins. That the Patriots managed just 63 rushing yards and their quarterbacks completed fewer than 60 percent of their passes means there's work to do on offense. That the Patriots allowed Washington quarterbacks to complete more than 70 percent of their passes and three different running backs to gain more than five yards per carry means there's work to do on defense. That Roy Finch muffed a punt means there's work to do on special teams.
(That the tablets the team was trying to use to replace its old binders of printed pictures of formations malfunctioned when the wireless network failed means there's work to do on the technological side as well — even if "the clarity of the pictures is … better than we had," Belichick said in a conference call on Friday.)
Suffice to say, Belichick focused far more on the negatives than the positives in the aftermath of the loss.
"We need to perform better than that, and we didn't," he said. "We have a lot of work to do."
But it's important to remember the cardinal rule of evaluating the Patriots in the preseason: If Tom Brady doesn't play, it's not worth getting too worked up about the outcome. And even if Brady plays, it's not worth getting too worked up about the outcome.
A year ago, it was in the all-important third preseason game that the Patriots found themselves stomped by the Detroit Lions. Brady threw for fewer than 200 yards and was intercepted once and sacked twice. Patriots running backs averaged just 2.9 yards per rush, and three ball-carriers lost fumbles.
All in all, it was a mess.
And then the Patriots won their fourth preseason game and their first four regular-season games. Their struggles at Detroit in the third week of the preseason were a distant memory by the time they'd finished a 4-0 September, let alone by the time they'd reached the AFC title game.
Three years ago, the same thing happened: The Patriots went to Detroit and found themselves smacked around decisively by a Matthew Stafford-led offense that passed for more than 350 yards. After another loss in their preseason finale, the Patriots went out and won five of their six eight regular-season games and cruised to a 13-3 regular-season record and a trip to the Super Bowl.
It was six years ago that New England went winless in the preseason, losing close games against Baltimore and the New York Giants and losing more decisively to Tampa Bay and Philadelphia. That Patriots team was the only edition in the last 11 years to miss the playoffs — but the loss of Brady in the regular-season opener unquestionably had more to do with that team coming up short than any vulnerability it showed in the preseason.

When users open internal drawings they frequently get the Proxy Graphics warning. The objects are usually listed as Land or Civil objects. Nobody has Land or Civil. I know how to turn the warning off but I want to see what these objects are. How do I identify / locate these supposed proxy objects?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Solved! by pendean. See the answer in context.
While you wait.... http://exchange.autodesk.com/autocad/enu/online-help/search#WS1a9193826455f5ffa23ce210c4a30acaf-59c5.htm
They come from external sourced files, or blocks nabbed from the Internet or 'friends' or archival drawings, and may even be in template files these users use every day. Borrowed content has a lot of baggage in AutoCAD.
If you are confident you never need them, use -EXPORTTOAUTOCAD command (note the dash in the name) to remove them forever. You'll have to do this with all files, and most urgently, you need to kill it at the source (whereever that is).

Thanks. I can do that.
I am still curious where are these proxy graphics? How can I know if they are needed if I don't know what they are?
Not all custom objects are visual, there are some "proxied" objects which don't have a graphical equivalent. Which is why you don't see anything, and why users end up passing them along: out of sight, out of mind.
A proxy object is an object from an external application. Core Vanilla AutoCAD knows how to darw lines, arcs, circles, etc. It does not know how to draw an AutoCAD Architecture wall, or a Civil grading line. Instead of omitting those objects, AutoCAD creates a Proxy for that object. It knows how to draw a proxy, and the proxy typically looks square to show some sort of bounds for that object. Object Enablers tell the program how to display those proxy objects, so they no longer look like a square. AutoCAD, for the past few releases, has had some of our vertical product's object enablers built-in. So the objects from our vertical applications, like Civil and Architecture, may exist in your drawing file, and may be proxy objects, but display like they would in the vertical product. That may be the difference you have noticed. Because a proxy object is an object from someone else's vertical product, you cannot add proxy objects yourself. They either exist or they don't, in a file given to you. Hope this helps, if so please mark as solved.
Listen to Dean! We have spent years cleaning out legacy files that were 'infected' with proxy objects. Simply XREFing them into another file will bring them in and leave them behind. As Dean said, you have to get down to the base files and clean them, working your way up the tree. We have taken to setting files as Read-only to prevent inadvertent contamination via proxy objects. Make your co-workers aware, and if you're all diligent, you'll see much better behavior from AutoCAD and reduced file sizes.
These are all useful comments. I will work on -exporttoautocad. However, Dean says to do this only if I'm sure I don't need the proxy graphics. Fact is, I still don't know what the proxy graphics are so how can I know if they're needed. Is there no way to discover what they are?
If you have PROXYNOTICE set to 1, open the file in question. Read the text in the proxy dialog carefully. Many proxy objects, especially the unwanted ones, are listed as having no graphics. I almost always feel safe using EXPORTTOAUTOCAD to get rid of proxies that have no graphics. If they have graphics but you really cannot find them, you'll need to turn on the option to show bounding boxes and go looking in your drawing for odd rectangles that show up.
In my experience with proxies, I shoot first and ask questions later. Save your original files in a ZIP somewhere, and clean up your DWGs. If you notice that something you wanted has gone missing, then you can go back to the original and try to be more selective.
EXPORTTOAUTOCAD does not always get them, either. ProSteel objects are notorious for hanging tough. The best way to get rid of more tenacious proxies is to carefully select just the objects you want (don't use crossing windows) and move them to a new drawing with CTRL+ALT+C (COPYBASE).
I am having the same issue of not able to fine the proxy, or the dialog box tells you what the proxy are but I can not fine a enabler for the applicaiton, do any of you or have any of you seen the following

5 Hardneck Varieties for 2012 Season: * Chesnok Red * Siberian * Georgian Crystal * German Red * Romanian Red
What started as a few dozen cloves in a raised bed has blossomed into an ambitious, collaborative venture between two adjacent farms nestled in the "Quiet Corner" of northeast Connecticut. Burgis Brook Alpacas, have combined talents Locust Grove Farm to cultivate the best varieties of hardneck garlic that can be found.
Mark and Alisa, with a long background in agriculture and the alpaca industry, saw an opportunity to bring a unique product to this part of southern New England. From there it was easy to convince Kevin, a food-animal veterinarian with a passion for locally grown food, and Denise, an accountant with a love of good food and quality produce, to join the effort.
The two adjoining farms are situated in the fertile Quinebaug River Valley. These deep, rich soils, combined with the amazing properties of well-composted alpaca manure, grow the most amazing gourmet garlic that can be found. We hope you take the opportunity to sample our hardneck varieties and come to share our enthusiasm for this amazing food.
We sell Gourmet Culinary Garlic and Seed Garlic for Gardeners and Growers
We only grow hardneck garlic varieties that have been chosen for best growing in CT so we can offer you great tasting healthy garlic.
Our garlic is all natural and carefully planted, cultivated, harvested, cleaned and inspected by hand.

Everest Base Camp: Experiencing the real Nepal
We all know the famous saying: "When in Rome, do as the Romans do". I tend to take this pearl of wisdom with me when embarking on any adventure holiday, so when in Nepal, I will endeavour to do as the Nepalese do.
This was especially the case when I headed to the Himalayas to fulfil a lifelong dream of being in the vicinity of the great Mount Everest. Having already sampled the unique culture on offer in the capital Kathmandu, I was desperate to immerse myself even further into the Nepalese way of life when I went to the Everest Base Camp. No luxury hotels and shopping malls here. Instead, our group retired to the far more humble surroundings of local teahouses after a hard day's trekking through the Asian mountain range. And do you know what? I wouldn't have it any other way.
There was something really enchanting about the living conditions that I experienced throughout the twelve-day hike to Base Camp. Don't get me wrong, we were far from roughing it, as the accommodation was not only rustic and full of character, but also surprisingly comfortable. This is something that experienced walkers will know is a necessity when you have spent all day negotiating the peaks and troughs of the Himalayas.
Few people have the stamina or the bravery to conquer Mount Everest, but for those like me who enjoy a good stroll and have a penchant for sightseeing, trips to the Base Camp are hard to rival. Spending days staring up at the awe-inspiring mountain - the tallest peak in the world - really is paradise for an adventure traveller. Overall, Nepal provides a refreshing break from the commercialisation of the UK, where generic streets are lined with the same restaurants, bars and shops. That is just another factor that has given this unique destination a special place in my heart.

Summer's Romantic Advantage
NT-SIZE: 14pt">If you're nature types, go camping next to a nice, calm lake.
But true, it isn't all the "lazy days". Summer also has its stresses. If you have children, this can be a time of high pressure with a lot of random logistic holes that need to be covered by busy parents. This is the reality of the situation, and aside from easing the chaos by planning well, it's just the nature of the season. Don't let that get you down!
Before you and your partner get back together at the end of the day, take a breather. Neither of you deserve a blow-up because you're over-stressed. Some ideas:
· Call for a fifteen-minute quiet session in your home. Isolate fighting children from each other if necessary.
· Treat everyone to a cool, frozen treat to get the gang in a good mood, even if you predict the bribed-bliss will be temporary.
· If you haven't done some decent planning to deal with summer logistics, take some time out and prioritize taking care of this. You'll thank yourselves.
Summer's too big a chunk of the year for you to allow it to float away!

Sept. 30 (Bloomberg) -- Ecuador's government said newspapers distorted and took out of context comments by President Rafael Correa that the U.S. has financed corrupt police forces in the South American nation.
Quito-based newspaper Diario Hoy reported yesterday that Correa accused the U.S. of funding police forces in Ecuador, citing an interview he gave to Venezuela-based Telesur network.
"There is a group that is still very bad, very corrupt, that wants to return to the past, financed by the government of the United States, and this we won't permit," Correa said, according to a transcript of the yesterday's interview broadcast by Telesur and reproduced in a statement by Ecuador's Production Ministry.
In the same interview, Correa said he had no evidence that the U.S. was involved in a police uprising against his government a year ago and that his relations with the vast majority of the nation's forces are excellent. Those comments were not included in the story published by Diario Hoy.
The Production Ministry said in an e-mailed statement today that the national and international media "distorted" and took out of context Correa's comments to Telesur.
The president's comments came as the U.S. and Ecuador are trying to patch up relations after Correa in April expelled the previous American ambassador to Quito, Heather Hodges, over a State Department cable published by anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks alleging corruption in the country's police force.
Three weeks ago, the two nations nominated new ambassadors. Adam Namm is awaiting confirmation by the Senate to become the next ambassador while Nathalie Cely, who is currently Production Minister, will be Correa's next envoy to Washington.

"The night before, I cooked up a whole fryer. Then I consulted the recipe. Unfortunately, I did not use the cloves or peppercorns at all. This was still an awesome recipe. Keep in mind that small dumplings do expand when cooking! Great flavor and we froze the rest......hope it freezes ok."
"This was my first risotto, and I am so glad I tried your recipe. It turned out perfect! I cannot wait to make it again. Very creamy, smooth and flavorful. I did not have saffron, but will try it again with it."
"Terrific! Excellent and inexpensive! And SWEET! I used fat free sweetened condensed milk(no fat, but some sugar). For an added flavor twist, use a flavored coffee. My teenager does not like full flavored coffee, but when I used "Caramel Candy" she couldn't hold back. Also, my pot makes 10 cups and that tasted just fine."
"Thank you for saving me some $$$$. I tried this and was pleased with the results. Thank you for sharing!"
"Wonderful way to reuse the leftover pork we had We used snow peas, carrots, water chestnuts and broccoli and mixed in cooked spaghetti. We loved the taste and that you can add any veggie you like. It is easily spiced up with chili paste or cilantro if you prefer. Looking forward to lunch tomorrow! Thanks Team Rocco!"
"This is the second time I have made it and this cannot get any better! Made some Southern macaroni and cheese to go with it. Soaking the chicken in the salt water brine is key as it gives it flavor on the inside as well. Everyone loved this!"
"This recipe has a breat buffalo taste yet not too hot. I found it also makes two pie plates worth of dip. I used one 12 oz can of chicken, but if you used two it would not be too much. I served one plate on Christmas Eve and the other on Christmas day. Thanks for sharing it went very fast!"
