Starbucks has reached 42 million payments processed using its mobile payment app, Venture Beat reported yesterday. That impressive factoid is courtesy of Adam Brotman, Starbucks' chief digital officer. That's up from 26 million transactions just four months ago.
Even more revealing are Brotman's comments about future plans for mobile payments at the coffee company.
"You're going to see us as a company that will push the envelope around mobile pay," Brotman told Venture Beat. "We want to innovate in that area before others catch up."
Brotman said company CEO Howard Schultz saw a "seismic shift" in the way Starbucks interacts with its customers through digital and has made digital channels a priority at the company.
In other words, Starbucks doesn't see mobile payments as a gimmick but as a fundamental part of its customer strategy. (Venture Beat said it's one of 10 "core digital businesses" under its digital strategy umbrella.)
The only quibble we have with the Venture Beat article would be its description of the Starbucks app as "novel" and "new." Launched in January 2011, the app lost both its novelty and its newness right about the time it hit 1 million transactions, which would have been about a month after it launched.

General Questions:
About Buying a Weather Radio:
About Programmable Radios:
NOAA Weather Radio Broadcasts over the Internet:
What is NOAA Weather Radio?
NOAA Weather Radio (NWR) is a nationwide network of radio stations broadcasting continuous weather information directly from a nearby National Weather Service (NWS) office. NWR broadcasts NWS warnings, watches, forecasts and other hazard information 24 hours a day. It is the "Smoke Detector of Severe Weather".
Working with the Federal Communications Commission's new Emergency Alert System (EAS), NWR is an "all hazards" radio network, making it the single source for the most comprehensive weather and emergency information available to the public. NWR now broadcasts warning and post-event information for all types of hazards - both natural (such as earthquakes and volcano activity) and technological (such as chemical releases or oil spills).
Known as the "Voice of the National Weather Service", NWR is provided as a public service by the National Weather Service, a component of the Department of Commerce's National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The NWR network has more that 450 transmitters, covering the 50 states, adjacent coastal waters, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the U.S. Pacific Territories. NWR requires a special radio receiver or scanner capable of picking up the signal found in the public service band between 162.400 and 162.550 MHz.
What frequencies are used for NOAA Weather Radio broadcasts and how can I get a list of the frequencies for my state?
The seven NWR broadcasts frequencies are 162.400 MHz, 162.425 MHz, 162.450 MHz, 162.475 MHz, 162.500 MHz, 162.525 MHz and 162.550 MHz. NWR coverage is expanding through NWS partnership programs with local communities. For the latest list of frequencies and transmitter locations, check the NOAA Weather Radio web site.
Broadcast range from the weather radio transmitter is approximately 40 miles. The effective range depends on terrain, quality of the receiver and indoor/outdoor antennas. Before you buy a receiver for your home or business, make sure your area is covered by one the transmitters. You may also want to consider a radio for your vehicle or camper for traveling.
Can I get NOAA Weather Radio broadcasts in my car?
Several automobile manufacturers (BMW, Mercedes, Range Rover and Saab) equip their cars with radios capable of receiving NWR broadcasts. Several manufacturers of car radios (Audiovox, Clarion and Panasonic) sell in-dash units capable of receiving NWR broadcasts.
Manufacturers of citizen band radios with NWR channels include Cobra, Maxon, Midland, Radio Shack and Uniden. See the Weather Radio Vendors page for a complete list.
You might also consider purchasing a portable weather radio for your vehicle or boat.
What is a S.A.M.E. Weather Radio?
SAME stands for "Specific Area Message Encoding", and is a special type of weather radio that allows you to choose the counties you want to be alerted for when a watch or warning is issued. Read more on our SAME/FIPS page.
Are there special radios for the hearing/visually impaired?
Some weather radios allow you to attach attention-getting devices such as strobe lights, bed-shakers, personal computers, and text printers. Check with electronics stores, electronics catalogs or conduct an Internet search for more details.
Many pager companies now offer alerting pagers that provide the latest weather information, although there is usually a monthly fee associated with a pager.
How will a weather radio help me if I lose power to my house in a storm?
Many weather radios have a battery backup. It is strongly recommended that you purchase a radio with this feature. Consider replacing the battery in your weather radio each year when the time changes to Daylight Savings Time.
I watch TV for my weather information. Why do I need a weather radio?
NOAA Weather Radio is the "smoke detector of severe weather". It is the only household device that will wake you up and get your attention if a severe weather warning is issued for your area. Once you are aware of the hazard, you can tune into your favorite weather source for all the details.
Still not convinced? Remember, too, that it is recommended not to use computers or other electrical appliances during a thunderstorm, and if you lose power, you will likely lose your television reception anyway.
What's new and upcoming with NOAA Weather Radio?
Several developments are under way. First, the NWS continues to work with local communities, businesses and non-profit organizations to install NOAA Weather Radio transmitters in areas of the nation not currently served by NWR broadcasts.
Do they have Weather Radio everywhere in the US and Canada?
Not yet. In the U.S., the National Weather Service goal is to bring weather radio coverage to 95 percent of the US population. Check the NWS weather radio listing for the current list of US stations. For Canadian stations (operating on the same frequencies), check with Environment Canada.
Where can I get a NOAA Weather Radio?
They can be found in most electronic stores, department stores, and even some drug stores. They are also widely available on the internet and in some electronics catalogs.
How much does a NOAA Weather Radio cost?
NOAA Weather Radios range in cost from around $20 up to $100 or more depending on the quality of the receiver and number of features.
What types of NOAA Weather Radio receivers are available?
NOAA Weather Radio receivers come in many sizes with a variety of functions. There are both handheld and desktop models. Many radios can receive an alarm tone, triggered when the NWS issues severe weather announcements or emergency information. Most NWR receivers are either battery-operated portables or AC-powered desktop models with battery backup, so they can be used in many different situations. Some of the newer models are programmable (called S.A.M.E.-capable), allowing you to program the radio with your counties of concern. Some CB radios, scanners, short wave and AM/FM radios are also capable of receiving NWR transmissions, although few of these can tone alert you for warnings.
What features should I look for in a NOAA Weather Radio?
There are several features to look for in a NOAA Weather Radio.
Where can I get radios and accessories for the hearing/visually impaired?
Check with electronics stores, electronics catalogs or conduct an Internet search for retailers.
I just purchased a NOAA Weather Radio with the SAME feature -- where can I get the codes I need to program my receiver?
A table and map of counties with the corresponding FIPS codes for Eastern Iowa, Northwest Illinois and far northeast Missouri are available on this web page. The national NOAA Weather Radio web site offers a list of the SAME codes for all U.S. states and surrounding territories. A toll-free number (1-888-NWR-SAME or 1-888-697-7263) is also available so that radio owners can get the SAME codes.
I live in one county and work in another -- will the SAME programmable NOAA Weather Radio receivers be able to alert me for more than one county?
Most SAME-capable NOAA Weather Radio receivers allow programming for multiple counties. Check the receiver for this capability before you buy.
I just plugged in my radio but all I get is static. What's wrong?
How can I be sure my radio's tone-alert feature is working properly?
Every Wednesday, all NOAA Weather Radio stations issue a test tone-alert between 11 am and noon. (In case of severe weather, the test is postponed until the next non-severe weather day.) During the test, properly set up tone alert and SAME-capable radios will turn on, just as if a warning had been issued. If you do not receive a test tone alert every Wednesday, you should check your radio set up and programming. (Note that there are a few tone alert radios that may not be capable of receiving the test. Check with your radio's retailer or manufacturer.)
I was receiving alerts before, but have not received any lately. I still get the broadcasts, though. What should I do?
Listen for the tone-alert test on Wednesdays between 11am and noon. If you are not getting the test, and you do not have a programmable radio, your radio might be broken. If you have a programmable radio, you might be able to fix it by completely erasing your memory settings and starting over. This can be done by unplugging the radio and removing the battery for a day or two.
The broadcast quality in my area is poor. What can I do to improve reception?
Attach your radio to an external antenna. This will often improve reception inside buildings and in areas farther from the transmitter.
My NOAA Weather Radio often turns on when the forecast office issues watches and warnings that don't impact me. What can I do about that?
Upgrade to a S.A.M.E. programmable weather radio. This allows you to specify exactly which counties are of concern to you. Find out more about this technology.
I have trouble understanding the voice sometimes. Can you do anything to improve it?
Yes, but not today. The NWS has a voice improvement program already underway. This program will replace the current computerized voice with a new, much improved, concatenated computer voice that will be much more understandable.
Why is the name of my town mispronounced on the weather radio? The computer has to be told how to say each and every word. If you hear a word or place name being pronounced incorrectly, please drop a note to our webmaster. We can make adjustments to try to improve the pronunciation.
I live in an area where I can't get NOAA Weather Radio transmissions. Is there another system in place for me to get forecasts, watches and warnings directly from the National Weather Service?
The National Weather Service works in partnership with media outlets across the country to get the most current and accurate weather information to the public. Tune in to your local radio and television stations for the latest weather forecasts, watches and warnings. NWS products and services are also available on the National Weather Service Internet site which also includes links to individual forecast offices. Delivery of data across the Internet, however, cannot be guaranteed because of potential interruption of service.
Another low-cost method for receiving National Weather Service's (NWS) essential information in now available on a wireless data system. Called the Emergency Managers Weather Information Network, or EMWIN, this system presents the information directly on your home or office computer in an user-friendly graphics display. Simple mouse clicks immediately retrieve the latest weather and flood warnings, watches, forecasts, statements, observations and other data in text format, along with a sub-set of weather graphics including the national radar summary, and some satellite imagery. In all, over 6500 products are available. Users may set various alarms to be alerted to particular information, whether for their local area or from adjacent areas.
The EMWIN weather information is free; the only cost is for the receiving equipment and inexpensive commercial software. This digital datastream is available nationwide directly from several satellites and, in an increasing number of locations, in an easier and less costly manner using local radio re-broadcasts and other techniques. This approach provides the necessary redundancy for reliable data reception by a wide variety of users.
EMWIN was designed to be a low-speed (currently 1200 bits per second, but expected to increase), low-cost alternative for emergency management officials and others that have no access to weather data or have few resources to afford such data. (Even at this current low speed, over 5000 pages of information can be received each day). It was not designed, however, to replicate such other existing weather dissemination systems as NOAA Weather Radio (NWR).
For more information about EMWIN, visit the EMWIN web site.
How can I help my community get NOAA Weather Radio broadcasts?
The goals of the National Weather Service and emergency preparedness agencies is to expand the reach of weather radio broadcasts to cover 95 percent of the U.S. population. Innovative partnerships between the NWS, private industry, and state and local governments are fueling this expansion. You can help foster such partnerships in your community. For more information on what may be going on in your community, contact your local emergency manager.
I tried listening to the Macomb NOAA Weather Radio broadcasts online, but the audio was broken up. What's wrong?
Your internet connection speed or computer speed may be too slow.
Are other NOAA Weather Radio stations broadcasting live over the internet?
Yes, a few. Check the national listing.
The number of stations carried live on the Internet has thus far been limited to sites with sufficient computer capacity to support the additional information load, and commercial sites who rebroadcast the program. The NWS is exploring cost-effective methods of providing a source for central access of this information.
In the meantime, if you or someone you know would be interested in working with us to get your local Weather Radio station broadcast live on the internet, please contact our webmaster at firstname.lastname@example.com

The hotel was in a great location, just a short walk to Boston Commons and the Government Center. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The room itself was nice, with two beds and a roomy bathroom. I was disappointed that no hair dryer was in the bathroom (although I could have requested one from the front desk). I also believe that free wi-fi access is the norm nowadays (this hotel would give you free access only after giving them some personal information). Overall, a place I would go to again. ...

Once upon a time, in the big northeastern city of Megalopolis, there were two paramedics, both named Bobby, who worked out of the busiest firehouse in the city, if not the Western hemisphere. This firehouse was located in the very worst neighborhood in town -- street urchins roamed armed and unsupervised, every third row house was a burned out carcass, and the people had no hope. But the two Bobs did the best they could.
Bobby A. loved fire engines and trauma. Bobby B. loved ladder trucks and medical calls. Bobby A. had no tolerance for slackers, malingerers, deadbeats, ne'er-do-wells and scumbags. This made working in this particular neighborhood a bit trying for him, since most of his patients were slackers, malingerers, deadbeats, ne'er-do-wells or scumbags. Bobby B. was more tolerant. Until he finally snapped, that is -- but that's a story for another day.
Whenever Bobby A. and Bobby B. were dispatched to a call -- let's say, for "my head hurts," or a toothache, or the miseries or the weaknesses -- they would take turns getting the patient's medical history. If it was Bobby A's turn to tech, he would puff up his burly chest and begin to interrogate the patient about the necessity of calling for an emergency vehicle to a non-emergency situation. He realized this was probably a less-than-productive approach to the situation, but he just couldn't help himself.
That's when Bobby B. would step in. He would sidle in front of Bobby A. and take over. He would ask the patient, "So you got a headache?"
"Yeah, I got a headache," the patient would respond.
"Hurts real bad?"
"Yeah, real bad."
"OK, tell you what we're gonna do. I'll write you a prescription," he would say, taking out his notepad. As he wrote, he would say out loud: "I-BU-PRO-PHEN. 200 milligrams. Two pills every six hours."
He would hand the patient the sheet of paper. "You go right now and take this down to the store and show it to the clerk. He'll fix you up. Take the medicine right away. Be sure to call the doctor if the pain gets worse or doesn't go away in a day or two," he would advise the patient.
"Thanks, man, thanks a lot!" the patient would say, smiling.
Problem solved.
WARNING: This is a story. It is not a protocol, standing order, suggestion or justification. Side effects of writing fake prescriptions in the field may include termination from employment, loss of certification, criminal prosecution, undiagnosed stroke, aneurysm, epidural/subdural/subarachnoid, AV malformation, other brain injury or death.

Hello, parking meter? I'm at The Container Store
It's officially The Future. Denver announced today that its Public Works Department is piloting a program in which shoppers at Cherry Creek North can call parking meters from their cell phones and deposit money via their credit cards -- and then call back to extend the time on their meters when they get held up in line at Hamilton Furs. The program -- which costs parkers an extra 35-cent service fee -- will be in place for six months, after which time it will be evaluated, partly based on feedback from an online survey.
Another perk of the so-called Pay-by-Phone option? The system will text you when the time on your meter is running low. "Hey! You have 3 minutes left. LMFAO!!!!!!! ;)"
Let's hope the meters don't learn how to sext.

On October 4, 1924, Harvey H. Blank and Warren E. Fenstermacher opened the Grand Theatre in East Greenville, PA. It was designed and built by Souderton, PA architect Jerome S. Landes, who was also the designer and builder of The Palace Theatre in Quakertown, PA and The Broad Theatre in Souderton, PA. The Grand was to be the most modern and beautiful theatre in the Upper Perkiomen Valley. At the same time Blank and Fenstermacher built The Grand, William W. Bieler built and owned the restaurant in the front right corner of the theatre's "footprint". Through the window in the lobby, ice cream and other treats were sold as this was the theatre's only concession area.
In May of 1945, Warren Fenstermacher passed away, and his 50% interest in The Grand was inherited by his son, Linwood K. Fenstermacher. In December of 1951, Harvey Blanks 50% interest was sold for $10,000 to Linwood Fenstermacher. Linwood became full owner of The Grand. In January of 1953, Linwood and his wife sold 50% of their interest to June Clarke (Linwoods daughter) and her husband.
By August of 1966, The Grand, at 42 years old, was showing its age. The operator of The State Theatre in Boyerton, PA, Mr. Jack B. Kline and his son Mr. Jack H. Kline, leased The Grand from Fenstermacher and Clarke. The Grand closed for a 5 month renovation project that newly transformed The Grand Theatre into The Valley Theatre.
On January 20, 1967 (advertising the former Grand as "Everything New Including the Name") the Klines officially opened The Valley Theatre as a 7 day a week operation. The Valley boasted improvements such as a newly renovated lobby and concession area, new carpeting, new auditorium curtains, and a modern marquee. The younger Kline, Jack H. became the manager of The Valley.
By January 1970, after 3 very successful years of leasing the building, the Klines purchased the building from Fenstermacher and Clarke. In July 1975, the Klines sold The Valley to Thomas Thornton Enterprises, due to Jack H. relocating for his job.
January 1977 saw The Valley closed for many months by Thomas Thornton Enterprises. The Klines bought the theatre back, completed additional repairs, and re-opened The Valley under the care of Mr. Doug Bricker as Manager until Jack H. returned to the area.
In the Winter of 1982, extensive remodeling was done to The Valley, featuring new seats, a new heating system, new concession stand, new draperies, new carpeting, and a brand new Kintex sound system.
In September 1987, the Klines sold The Valley to Ms. Wanda G. Kerver, who also owned and operated The Broad Theatre in Souderton, PA.
The Valley, the last remaining theatre in the Upper Perkiomen Valley, showed its last film and closed in March 2004. All equipment and seating were removed from the building as rumors circulated about the theatre's future. There is no doubt that the rather harsh Winters of 2002 and 2003 accelerated the decay of the compromised roof. Sections of the auditorium ceiling began to collapse. Everything left inside was drenched.
On August 20, 2004, Souderton Real Estate Agent Ed Buchinski and his business partner John Schortz purchased, and subsequently christened the building. Buchinski and Schortzs company, Grand-Valley Holdings, LP, announced that the building would be saved from demolition. Several weeks later, after an extensive evaluation of the buildings condition and hidden historical elements, Buchinski and Schortz announced their final plans to embark on an extensive restoration project to return the building to its spectacular 1924 appearance and continued use as a theater. As part of the restoration, the original name "The Grand" would be used for the first time in almost 40 years. Following "modern times", the spelling of theatre was changed to theater.
On October 4, 2004, The Grand Theater turned 80 years old. Gifts included a new roof, new HVAC, and a very bright future!
After an exhausting 11 month restoration, The Grand hosts a "Black Tie" gala for local community and business leaders on Thursday, July 28, 2005... one day before the official opening. The purpose of this was to re-introduce the theater to the community and spur ideas on how the theater could be used beyond its primary purpose of showing movies. Over 500 invitations were sent out, and there was a very, very good response. The rented baby grand piano on the stage, with classical music played by Victoria Squicciarini, fueled the atmosphere for guests that reminisced on how the theater was, and marveled on what it had become.
July 29, 2005 was the grand opening of the new Grand Theater to the public. Being able to show "Madagascar" was an incredible fete by The Grand's booking agent, Mr. Rick Wolfe, owner of The Roxy Theatre in Northampton, PA.
In the Summer of 2006, work began on installing a 2-manual, 6-rank Marr and Colton theater organ. Originally installed in the Rivoli Theatre in Chicopee, MA, the instrument played in several private homes before finding its way to a theater, where it truly belongs! Interestingly enough, one of those homes was where The Grand's friend, Mr. Carl Black, Jr., resided.
2007 - 2008! The rear section of The Grand's stage is annexed, as work continued on the organ installation, enlarging the instrument to 12 ranks for a future enhancement by adding an additional 3-manual Marr and Colton console.
On December 12, 2008, the 2/6 Marr and Colton premiers to The Grand's audiences as pre-show entertainment for our annual Christmas Tradition Show. Mr. Carl Black, Jr., is the organist!

Kroon Hall, School Forestry & Environmental Studies, Yale University
Kroon Hall, the new home for the School of Forestry and Environmental Studies at Yale University, is an ultra-green building targeting LEED Platinum. Meant to serve as teaching tools for the students within, the sustainable initiatives are on display where possible, but some--such as the creation of courtyards for students to gather and study outdoors--are more about good planning.

Yale University in New Haven, Conn., harvested expertise from both sides of the Atlantic to design Kroon Hall for its School of Forestry & Environmental Studies. Goals for the project included a building to serve Yale well into the next century, to be carbon neutral, and to become the greenest academic building in the nation. London-based Hopkins Architects was the design architect and Centerbrook Architects and Planners out of Centerbrook, Conn., served as the project's executive architect.
Mark Simon, FAIA, founding partner at Centerbrook, says that the collaboration was an opportunity to learn what designers were doing in other parts of the world. "We found that our core ideas about sustainability were the same, but some of the European methods differed," he says. "Integration became a theme within the project team and the building itself. You can't just attach sustainable devices to a building. Each element must serve more than one purpose."

The $33.5 million Kroon Hall helped breathe new life into the campus's south-facing science hill, which had aged into a semi-industrial site smudged with a decommissioned power plant, service vehicle roadways, and waste receptacles. The team designed the 68,800-square-foot, four-story building as a narrow form set into a slope. The thin shape created room for student-friendly outdoor spaces on either side. A walkway lures pedestrians into an expansive courtyard, which is actually a green roof above a new major loading-dock facility with underground service tunnels for all science hill buildings.
Operable windows along Kroon Hall's slender profile offer cross ventilation, and the long south façade captures natural light year-round and allows heat gain in winter. Other passive design techniques include an exposed concrete structure to absorb and radiate energy. Windows are set deep into the sandstone exterior walls to create shading in summer yet allow the winter sun to penetrate. Red cedar louvers at the building's east and west ends are fixed at an angle that blocks direct sunlight but gathers ambient light bouncing off of the ground.
The facility contains faculty offices, classrooms, an auditorium, library and study center, and a student lounge. The team maximized interior spaces and shrunk the building by nearly 15 percent without sacrificing any programming needs. "The front hall doubles as an entry lobby, and the ends of the central halls became the dean's office suite and smaller lobbies," Simon says. "Shrinking the building's size saved money and that allowed us to spend more on insulation and sustainable features."
A raised floor with a displacement ventilation system provides air right at the source of occupied space. Unlike systems that force the air down from the ceilings to reach the occupied zone, the incoming air can be more temperate and circulate more slowly, which saves energy through smaller fans and makes for less precooling and preheating.
A computer-driven mechanical system uses sophisticated European heat exchangers to capture 75 percent of the building's exhaust-air energy, and four deep geothermal wells and heat exchangers to preheat and precool supply air. Hot-water radiators at the ends of the upper three floors provide supplemental heating.
The top floor has a cathedral ceiling lined in red oak, with half of the wood coming from Yale's forests. Skylights offer a partial view to a 105-kilowatt solar photovoltaic array, which received a grant of $485,000 from the Connecticut Clean Energy Fund and was designed to provide 25 percent of the building's electricity. In addition, solar hot-water panels on the roof are intended to meet half of the building's hot-water requirements. An open stair shaft on the two upper floors reduces energy use by serving as a natural return-air shaft to minimize fan power and by bringing daylight from the skylights down into the building's core.
Collected stormwater runoff is reused in toilet flushing and irrigation. Combined with fixtures such as waterless urinals and dual-flush toilets, the facility is designed to consume 81 percent less water than a conventional building, equating to a savings of 176,000 gallons of water annually.
Kroon Hall opened in 2009 and achieved a LEED Platinum rating. New Haven–based Atelier Ten assisted with sustainable design, performance modeling, and LEED oversight. The building received multiple awards and has drawn interest from beyond the campus. "Many people outside the school use the facility—dinners and conferences have been hosted there," Simon says. "The building is a lot more popular than we ever expected it would be."

Tata Motors has unveiled their $2,500 car in India. This mini monster is expected to get 54 mpg.
But one has to wonder whether or not an inexpensive and fuel efficient car is good for the world. This car will displace bicycles and scooters, not other cars, so we're effectively increasing waste & consumption, not decreasing it.
Speaking at the unveiling ceremony at the 9th Auto Expo in New Delhi, Mr. Ratan N. Tata said, "I observed families riding on two-wheelers - the father driving the scooter, his young kid standing in front of him, his wife seated behind him holding a little baby. It led me to wonder whether one could conceive of a safe, affordable, all-weather form of transport for such a family. Tata Motors' engineers and designers gave their all for about four years to realise this goal. Today, we indeed have a People's Car, which is affordable and yet built to meet safety requirements and emission norms, to be fuel efficient and low on emissions. We are happy to present the People's Car to India and we hope it brings the joy, pride and utility of owning a car to many families who need personal mobility."

In this weeks Friday Artist Contest Talk we're discussing the sweetest deal you'll probably ever hear about on Top Web Comics. Not only can you win a free copy of Watch Dogs in our unofficial art contest if you're one of the two highest voted entries… But now EVERYONE gets one free ad slot on Top Web Comics just for entering! O_O Yup, you just read that right. If you have somewhere to contact other web comic artists, you may want to let them know they can get free advertisement just by entering this latest contest! So you might want to get drawing your best Aiden Pearce cosplaying web comic character, because this contest just went into overdrive! Read on for
So, I know what you're thinking. Why? Either that or you've already closed your browser and you're creating a wonderful scene of your character proposing to his main squeeze by hacking all the screens in a crowded down town scene to read, "Marry me (fill in name here)". Here's what is going on. We here at TWC are changing up our Newsletter service in order to be more efficient. Unfortunately, it's going to take a lot longer than we expected. Due to that down time, Marty Basto decided instead of investing in rushing the news out there any way he could, he'd rather invest in all of you to give you free advertisement for entering this contest, and for getting the word out there so other fellow web comic artists can take advantage of this awesome deal as well!
From what I understand, one ad slot equals out to one banner or such for part of a day. That may not sound like much, but remember, when you search for webcomics on Google, it's Top Web Comics that comes up first. You'll be seen by our many visitors, just for joining into this contest.
Just to note too, that does include our first entry (as seen below) from The Highest Bet. All any of you need to do, is submit your entry into the Unofficial Watch Dogs Art Contest, wait for it to be live on the contest page, and then write in to Marty Basto at firstname.lastname@example.com with the name of your web comic and a message requesting your ad spot be included in the queue for submitting an entry to the contest.
Personally, I think this is awesome! Instead of focusing on getting a bunch of newsletters out there faster, Marty is being generous by promoting your web comic on Top Web Comics, along with only asking that you tell your web comic creating friends about the contest so they can get involved to. In the end, you're not only promoted on the contest page via your entry, but you get a free ad slot as well!
Friday Artist Talk will return to normal next week. Lets be honest anyway, reading my ramblings or hearing about being able to get free ad space? I think everyone can agree it's nice to have a break like this for one week.

Hi All - I've been thinking about trying my hand at brewing cider for a while and I'm finally researching and about to buy some supplies. I've decided to go w/ plastic buckets for fermenters for ease of cleaning and safety (I've got 3 kids under 5 and my wife would flip out at the prospect of a giant glass bottle falling/shattering on one of them lol). Anyway a guy on craigslist near me is selling 5-gallon food-grade buckets w/ rubber-sealed lids for $2 each, which seems like a pretty sweet deal. The only thing I'd have to do is add a hole for an airlock. My thought was just to drill a hole in the lid and put one of in it...would this work? Is there a better option? Thanks for any info; take it easy. Mike
That will work just fine
I get all my stuff from norther brewer, you can get air locks and bungs for like a buck ninety nine.
I work at a restaurant were I can take buckets with sealed rubber lids. IV done several batches like that. I just drill a hole a little smaller than the airlock press it in so it's snug and for good measure I use some of that tape they use to seal pipes around the top of the hole were the neck of the airlock is. As long as you sanitize it all you'll be fine

HELENA – The state Senate on Thursday advanced one of the session's major school choice bills, which creates a new state income tax credit for donating to "scholarship organizations" that help students attending private schools.
On a mostly party-line vote with Republicans in favor, the Senate endorsed Senate Bill 81 on a 28-22 vote. All Democrats voted against the measure and Sen. Chas Vincent of Libby was the only Republican against it.
The bill advances to the House if a final Senate vote today approves the measure.
SB81, sponsored by Sen. Dave Lewis, R-Helena, allows individuals to reduce as much as half of their state income taxes by an amount equal to 40 percent of their donation to a scholarship organization. Corporations' tax credit would be 20 percent of any donation.
The aggregate total of the tax credits is limited to $2.5 million a year.
Lewis said the scholarship organizations are set up to provide scholarships to children attending private schools, to help low- and middle-income families.
"Not every kid fits into the public school system," he said. "The public school system is wonderful, but it doesn't work for every child."
Parents would choose the private school for their child and apply to the organization for a scholarship, Lewis said.
SB81 is one of five school choice bills still alive at the Legislature, all of which would use income tax credits or public funds to assist families choosing to send children to a private school or educator.
Most Republicans are supporting the measures, while minority Democrats have been voting in a bloc against them.
State revenue officials estimated that SB81's tax credits would cost the state about $6.5 million the next two years. Lewis said he thinks that amount is overstated, because it lowballs the number of students who would leave public school to attend private school.
The state saves money if it funds fewer students in public school.
Sen. Tom Facey, D-Missoula, who opposed the bill, said it uses state money to fund scholarships to schools that don't have to have certified teachers or report to the state in any way.
"Where is the accountability?" he said. "There isn't any. We know that Montana (public) schools are in the top five for science. … We're not going to know anything about this."
Democratic Sen. Dick Barrett of Missoula also said that Montana's income tax system already has far too many tax credits, and SB81 adds yet another expensive credit that will benefit few people.
"It's taking us in exactly the wrong way we want to go if we want to broaden the tax base, lower rates and simplify our tax system," he said.

Dolly Hello my name is Dolly and I am the Princess around here. I keep the boys in line when they are not behaving and make sure the farm is always looking its best. I am not a big fan of accessorizing as you will find me without my harness on 85% of the time. I stand about 16 hands and weigh about 1500 lbs. I come from an Amish community and absolutely love being at Heritage Hills Farm. At night you will find that I walk myself directly into my stall all by myself! When you come and visit remember I LOVE apples and carrots. |
Mural Hey guys I hope you liked my girl Dolly. We were matched by Mr. Bruce and then brought to southern Vermont to give sleigh and wagon rides to families, friends and couples. You may have recognized me from my previous place of employment at Okemo giving sleigh rides. I am happy to be in the Killington area with Dolly enjoying the views of Pico and Killington Mountain while grazing in our pastures. Just like Dolly I am belgian draft horse standing at 16 hands. |

Wine is a great delight to drink. To many, it's as great a joy to collect as it is to drink. Such people might be rather pleased to see an app such as My Wine Cellar which aims to help them keep track of their collection in an attractive and useful way.
The app which is currently available for free, allows users to track their wine from purchase to wine tasting notes. Designed by Australian fine wine supplier, Oz Bouquet, the app is clearly designed precisely for the wine drinker's interest.
For each bottle, the user is able to add information such as the name, brand, vintage, category such as if it's a sparkling wine and the country of origin. Users can then add more personal information such as when they took a drink of it, an appropriate occasion, the price and any other notes such as how it tasted. This can be further enhanced by adding ratings out of 5 stars for color, smell, taste and the overall manner of the wine.
For easy consultation, users can customize each bottle with the relevant shape, color and label to aid as a quick reference tool. It's easy enough to get everything set up just how the user wants things to be laid out, and the interface makes for an attractive wine cellar style look.
Besides being great for the individual user to quickly check their collection, My Wine Cellar could be a great tool at a dinner party. Users could demonstrate to their friends their collection so that they can easily check what wine they fancy trying with their meal. Or of course, the owner can always simply gloat at their impressive collection.
Finally, there's the ever trusty ability to share wine notes via Facebook, Twitter and e-mail.
My Wine Cellar is out now for all iOS devices and it's a free download.

The deep fore-reef at Enewetak has been examined from the submersible Makali'i. Green algae grow to about-150 m at photon flux densities of approximately 1 μEm-2s-1. Halimeda cover is ≧50% at many sites down to-90 m. Halimeda populations are important within the zone of scleractinian corals down to about-65 m, while a Halimeda zone with low coral cover or lacking corals between-65 m and-150 m probably is an important source of reef carbonate. Halimedas of the deep fore-reef, like those of the lagoon, constitute an important structural component in reef building. Other calcareous green algae such as Tydemania are less important on the deep fore-reef, but growth of coralline red algae continues to over-200m. Halimeda diversity is high down to near the base of the euphotic zone.

Walking distance to Rizal Park, Ocean Park and Robinson Mall. Good breakfast buffet. Staff was super friendly and helpful.
They need to rethink the mattress. Upgrade to pillow top or memory foam. If you like it firm it's up your alley.
Rooms are modern, clean, and large.
Only one thing I would change to make the room perfect, a soft chair to relax in. Room is equipped with hard chairs like you would expect to see in a dining room.
classy hotel nice pool beautiful sunsets and view quiet beautiful grounds lots of service people around car service central location pharmacy clinic lots of security 110 and 220v power outlets in room food samples brought to the pool at certain times complimentary bottled water hammocks lounge chairs have cushions
common space air conditioning is very cold, had to leave the sports bar because it was so cold (wearing jeans and a long sleeve t-shirt) buffet is ridiculously overpriced for the quality $65 USD per person dinner Thursdays sports bar is overpriced $35 USD for 2 hot chocolates, a small crappy pizza, and mozza sticks mozza sticks were not breaded but wrapped in spring roll wrappers and greasy pizza ordered was not good and the order was wrong sports bar took 10 mins to order and 30 mins to make pizza and mozza sticks does not allow outside food to be delivered to the hotel pool is freezing cold water slides were under maintenance reception does not respond to email entirely, whenever I emailed them before arriving they would respond to part of the email but I would have to email again to get a response for the rest cannot control balcony light no chairs on balcony shower cold water would cut out every few minutes so the water was scalding hot flowers on balcony not watered, dying mold in shower grout needs to be scrubbed/bleached bathrooms are too dark, need a lighted mirror
The tennis court, the pool, newer building, everything seemd to work well. Live band at night.
You cant walk into metro manila like at other hotels, this can be good or bad depending on what you want to do. This is a non factor i think if you were with a family. Hot water took a long time to get hot.
Very nice location with a lot of activities
What I hate most........the bathroom was really inconvenient.
Awesome customer service!
Rooms were cold, no heaters
Rooms are great, we love the great big windows giving us a great view of the city and the pool.
Great service Nice room Excellent breakfast buffet Nice atmosphere at Long Bar.
2700 php for car to airport? Must be a compromise between this and a local taxi at 200 php.
This hotel had everything the location was perfect about a 20 min drive to the mall of asia but also right across from greenbelt mall. Ab
Closeness to all shops and places to eat
Noisy day construction after a late night event I wanted to sleep but couldn't because of heavy noises next door. Although it's posted I did not realize how bad it was. Pool was closed too
Very basic room. Everything above a simple bed and bath was extra - a lot extra. Showering in the morning was difficult simply because the water would go from very cold to scolding hot every few seconds. Not nice when you have a 1 year old with you.
I liked the initial price and how close it was to the airport.
Value for money
Never top up the shampoo liquid. Holder for shampoo was spoilt and never repair for the 3 nights that I stay
The staff was amazing. The service here was better than the hotels I have at home. Everyone was smiling and willing to help. I will Be coming back
The only thing I didn't like were the escorts prancing around the hotel. But I understand that this is where the wealthiest stay and money talks. It was not a nice sight to see.
Everything you would expect from a 5star hotel
There's construction on going so u would hear some noise but the staff are very helpful and will change your room if you just inform them.
Thank you vayama
I like the vicinity to the embassy
Everything was fine for the money
Lobby, orchestra and staff.

Sidney Crosby: 'I thought we deserved better' | 06.06.13 at 12:14 pm ET |
At least the chances were there for Sidney Crosby and the Penguins in Game 3 Wednesday night.
And in the mind of the superstar, that's a starting point for trying to get back in an Eastern Conference final series they trail 3-0 heading into Game 4 Friday night at TD Garden.
"Unfortunately, we're kind of comparing Game 2, and we didn't give ourselves a chance, so we can't get that one back," Crosby said. "We gave that one to them so-to-speak. We did a lot better job tonight, but that doesn't guarantee anything. We do a lot of these same things, and I think we all trust and believe we can get this back to Pittsburgh.
"I think we responded pretty well. Unfortunately, that Game 2 nobody really liked the way that turned out, and what happened there. I thought we responded well and did everything we could have besides get that last one."
Crosby had three of Pittsburgh's 54 shots on the night and was a plus-1 for the night. He best scoring chance might have been a shot when he wasn't even facing the net.
Late in the first period, and with the Penguins down, 1-0, Crosby was spun around in front of Tuukka Rask and flipped a backhander on goal. The shot rang off the post as Rask was caught slightly out of position.
"I didn't' really know where the net was, but I heard it hit the post," Crosby said. "Obviously it was kind of a scrambled play but it would have been nice for it to go in."
Evgeni Malkin had 10 shots on goal but he and Crosby are still scoreless in the series through three games.
"I think if we play the same way we're going to get our chances," Crosby said. "I thought we generated more scoring chances than them, and I thought we deserved better.
"I think the whole game we felt really comfortable with our play. I think we felt like it was just a matter of time before we were going to get it. Unfortunately they didn't, and hung around, and got the one at the end."
Gregory Campbell is officially done for the playoffs.
Just 12 hours after Campbell blocked a slap shot from Evgeni Malkin during a Bruins penalty kill, general manager Peter Chiarelli announced that Campbell will miss the remainder of the 2013 Stanley Cup playoffs due to a broken right fibula.
The injury occurred during the second period of Game 3 as the Bruins were killing off a penalty for too many men on the ice when Campbell went to the ice to get in the way of a Malkin shot. Campbell blocked the shot and stayed on the ice for 30 seconds until he could get off at the next whistle. He immediately went down the tunnel with assistance and did not return.
Campbell skated in all 15 playoff games this year with seven points on three goals and four assists, including one game-winning goal. The 29-year-old has appeared in 569 regular season games and recorded 54 goals and 89 assists with 526 penalty minutes. In 47 playoff games (all with Boston), he has tallied four goals and nine assists.
This postseason, Campbell had three goals and four assists in 15 games as the center of Boston's Merlot Line with Shawn Thornton and Daniel Paille.
It was not the result the Penguins desperately needed, but after losing their third straight to the Bruins to fall into an 0-3 hole, coach Dan Bylsma sees hope.
"It was a hard-fought game on both sides," Bylsma said. "It was a very good response from our team. We did a lot of things to get opportunities to win the hockey game. We have to bounce back from a goal very early on in the game, and I thought we did that very well and stuck with it, got the goal to tie the game and really was a hard-fought game all over the ice. Again, we did everything but get the game-winning goal there."
Asked if he and the team sensed frustration that Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin have yet to register a single point in the series, Bylsma went a step further than predicting they would come out of it. Bylsma made a prediction about Game 4 Friday night at TD Garden.
"I don't give goal-scoring tips to too many guys, but again, that's the way we need to play. That's the way we can play, and we pushed it and we pushed it hard, and we had opportunities. Those guys had great opportunities, five on five, Evgeni had a mini breakaway there, we had good chances on the power play, they all had good looks and we just have to keep playing that way, and that's what we're going to do. We know the situation being down 0-3 but we're going to come back for Game 5 and we're going to play exactly that same way and get a win in Game 4."
Bylsma was reminded that his team led the East with 72 points in the regular season and is one game away from getting swept out by a No. 4 seeded team.
"We're competing in the conference final for a chance to win and go to the Stanley Cup, and that's where we're going to be," he said. "We're down 3-0, we have lost the first three games, and we're going to battle and lay it out there, and we threw it at them tonight and didn't get the win, but we are going to — it's a race to four, and they're not there yet, and we're going to come back in here, regroup and go after Game 4."
Tuukka Rask: 'It was definitely a grind' | at 2:53 am ET |
Of all the great performances Tuukka Rask has had in these 2013 playoffs, Wednesday night was certainly the most grueling.
He stopped 53 shots in 95 minutes and 19 seconds, allowing only a Chris Kunitz goal in the second period as the Bruins prevailed, 2-1, in double-overtime in Game 3 of the Eastern finals at TD Garden.
"Yeah, it was definitely a grind," Rask said. "Both teams played pretty good. That second period was the worst one for us, but we battled and going into double overtime it's anybody's game.
"It's five periods. So I imagine everybody gets tired. It's more of a mental challenge I think. I wasn't cramping up today or anything. So that was positive."
Is he wiped out?
"Yeah, a little bit. I mean, it's I don't know 12:30 or something, five periods of hockey. Not the freshest feeling, but I think the win makes it a little easier," he said with a smile. "I don't think you feel that physical fatigue-ness at that point. It's just trying to keep your head, and not thinking that you're tired. It's just a nice little challenge ' you know if you think you're tired you're tired, and if you don't you don't."
Tired or not, the numbers don't lie. Rask is putting up even better stats to this point of the playoffs than Tim Thomas – the Conn Smythe winner – did in 2011 on the way to the Cup.
Thomas was 11-4 through 15 games with a goals against of 2.28. He had two shutouts, facing 521 shots with a save percentage of .931. Rask is also 11-4 through 15 games, with a 1.85 goals against, one shutout, facing 501 shots and a .940 save percentage.
"I feel good. I mean, I don't feel any better than I've felt throughout the playoffs," Rask said. "I think our team is helping me out a lot. Although obviously you let in two goals in three games you're making some good saves too. But we're blocking shots and taking care of those rebounds pretty well. So they're helping my job a lot."
Rask made several big saves and was helped out by a pair of posts, including a shot by Sidney Crosby in the first period. But the biggest save may have come from Gregory Campbell, who blocked a slap shot from Evgeni Malkin in the second period during a Penguins power play.
"I saw it, yeah. A guy had a lane and he sacrificed his body," Rask said. "It was a great thing, just bad thing he got hurt. He blocks a lot of shots, he took one for the team there, and we really wanted to win this for him."
Gregory Campbell (right leg) knocked out of Game 3 | 06.05.13 at 10:51 pm ET |
After going to the ice to block a powerful slap shot from Evgeni Malkin on a power play in the second period, Gregory Campbell, the center of the "Merlot" line will not be returning.
Campbell stayed on the ice for over 30 seconds of the penalty kill and hobbled off on his left leg while unable to put any pressure on his right leg. He was pushed slightly by an official, who helped him to the bench as the crowd chanted, "Campbell, Campbell, Campbell."
The Bruins announced before overtime that Campbell would not be returning.
Campbell played just 10 shifts and 6:51 of Game 3 before taking the shot from Malkin. His line of Shawn Thornton and Daniel Paille was on the ice to start the game.
Tuukka Rask was on a razor's edge Wednesday morning before Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals.
The mild-mannered "normal" goalie who can turn on a dime if he doesn't play well or someone ticks him off on the ice, reached that boiling point Wednesday.
First came an innocent enough flick of a rebound into the net when Rask wasn't ready from a teammate near the corner boards. Rask was focusing on 2-on-1 drills and had the puck stopped but the teammate just figured he'd fire it into the empty net.
As the video below shows, Rask angrily turned around reached into the net and faked firing it back but thought better of it.
But that was nothing compared to what happened about 15 minutes later. Shawn Thornton came in and snapped a shot that appeared to catch Rask in the right collarbone area. He fell to the ice in obvious pain and then yelled. He skated past Thornton who appeared to want to see if he was OK.
Rask stormed to the bench area and slammed his stick against the boards in front of the Bruins bench. He rested and recovered for less than a minute before returning to drills.
Coach Claude Julien's reaction?
"He's fine," Julien said. "Just didn't want him falling in front of that door when he went out of his crease. I told him, 'You're making me look bad.' I said, 'I told everybody you were normal.' But I said, 'I did tell them you had a temper.' So I said, 'You're okay.' No issues."
Whatever has motivated Rask so far in the series has certainly worked. He has stopped 55-of-56 shots and has allowed only a Brandon Sutter perfectly placed wrist shot to beat him in the first period of Game 2. Rask is 10-4 in these playoffs so far with a 1.99 goals against and a .935 save percentage.
Defense wins championships. It's a cliche nearly as old as the Stanley Cup. But it's true. Keep your opponent from scoring and your chances of winning in the playoffs increases dramatically. And, according to Claude Julien, it's been the secret to success for the Bruins in the first two games against the Penguins as the Boston forwards have shown a commitment to coming back and playing defense while the Penguins, not so much.
"It's been good for us," Julien said Wednesday morning before Game 3. "I think, when you look at our team, it's built that way. We take pride in that part of our game, and that part of our game's also given us the opportunity to be better offensively; turn that puck over quick and then everybody comes back, then we go back up the ice as a unit. That's been a big part of our game and when it's good, it provides us with some good offense."
Julien was told that some in the Bruins dressing room Wednesday – like Daniel Paille – said that's it's not as simple as it looks to play a defensive system like the Bruins employ. Julien begged to differ.
"It's not complicated, so I'm going to have to have a talk with Dan," Julien said half-jokingly. "It really isn't. What we try and do is eliminate the gray areas, make it black and white. It really is easy. He probably said complicated because he doesn't want to tell you what it is. But it isn't. This game shouldn't be a complicated one.
"Guys have skills, you try to put some structure together, but the one thing you don't take away is their ability to use their imagination and their skill and their hockey sense to make plays. Defensively, is where you're extremely structured, and you want to make sure that you have layers and guys come back to where they should be positionally. When it comes to offense, a couple of rules, but the rest is about letting them do their job and letting them use their creativity."
Julien again reminded everyone that his team is taking a level-headed approach in the hours before Game 3, knowing the Penguins figure to be hungry after losing Games 1 and 2 on home ice.
"It doesn't matter what situation it is, I think our guys our mature enough to understand that whatever we went through, whatever the situation is right now, we have to be a good team in order to win at this stage of the season," Julien said. "We can't afford to let our guard down, whether it's the respect for a team you're playing, and the ability of that team to take advantage of you if you're not ready, or whether it's just from within our group to want to be a good team every night. That's what's important right now, thats we stay focused on the present and don't live in the past, don't look in the future. I've said that before, we've been good when we've kept our eye on what's going on right now. That's what we've got to do."

Friday's meeting at Bangor-on-Dee will have to pass an 8am inspection as the track remains frozen in places.
Clerk of the course Andrew Morris is upbeat about their chances of racing as a thaw is forecast tomorrow, but he will check conditions in case the necessary improvement does not materialise in time for racing.
He said: "At the moment we are frozen in places. We got down to -3C overnight and we are still below freezing at present.
"What is giving us some optimism is the fact warmer air is forecast to reach us about midnight tonight, with a rise to 4C by 6am tomorrow.
"We could be at 6C by midday, although that does bring the potential of 10 millimetres of rain.
"While there is a thaw forecast, it is whether it will get here in time."

Greenest House
Chicago is home to one of the greenest houses in the country.
It's one of the greenest homes in the country, rated the most energy efficient in Chicago, all thanks to the determination and sweat equity of Jacek Helenowski.
Helenowski grew up in this home as a boy, and now he's turned this twin house next door into the award winning energy efficient dream home.
It's not cheap to build a top-of-the-line energy-efficient home, but by doing the work himself Helenowski managed to build his green dream house for only $80 a square foot.
The dry wall is recycled.
The insulation is made from soy beans.
And the ceiling is made from a burned-out Chicago building.
"Over 90% of the project is reclaimed from fires and from the old building. If you were to buy that it'd be a lot of money," said Jacek Helenowski, the owner of the "green" home.
That determination and sweat equity paid off in a net-zero energy home.
"It has zero energy use. It creates as much as it uses. So it is the ultimate of what we need to get to," Congressman Mike Quigley said.
While not everyone can pull this off to this degree, Helenowski feels this go green pioneering will pay off for future generations.
Though the Helenowski's home is extreme green, we all can begin with baby steps such as using energy saving light bulbs, adding insulation and switching to high efficiency appliances.

As far as I'm concerned this is the way it should be though of course I'm open to (reasoned) arguments: 1) Instructions submitted for the book do *not* necessarily have to be FHS compliant 2) If they aren't and somebody notices - point it out *POLITELY* and we'll add a note to the book saying that as it stands, these instructions aren't FHS compliant. 3) If there is a change we can't agree on about FHS compliance, we'll add it like in the LFS book - i.e. a small additional section noting what needs to be done to make the package LFS compliant and why this isn't the default route. 4) Just generally be polite on the mailing list - *please*! Personally I think that LFS and BLFS are about choice and this means we'll disagree on occasion. It doesn't mean we have to grill each other - even though it is barbecue season at the moment (well, where i am!). This also means we have to give the book's *users* choice. If anyone has a problem with this, either mail me personally (markh at linuxfromscratch.org) or via the mailing list. If you're going to be abusive then send it privately :-) [it's easier to redirect to /dev/null then] I hope this outlines what I think the position should be on the FHS issue. I can't lay down the law however so basically, I need your support on this. BTW - we'll be getting our own bugzilla sometime next week so it'll be easier to start co-ordinating the work and really get moving.
