GDC 2011: Nexon goes kart riding on the iPhone
Nexon is a South Korea-based publisher that's basically helped create and define the idea of free-to-play, microtransaction-based MMOs around the world. While microtransactions have become popular in all kinds of game genres in the last few years (including in quite a few apps on the iPhone), Nexon pioneered the business model with popular MMO games like MapleStory and Combat Arms. The company's been saying for a while that it plans to move more into the social and mobile game spaces in the West (it already has quite a stable of mobile games in Korea). At GDC 2011 this past week, I got to see the company's first entry on the iPhone in America, a game called KartRider Rush.
KartRider Rush is based on an MMO called Kart Rider that has never been brought to the West before (except for a short run in beta on the PC), but is well established in Korea. It's a cartoony kart racing game in the vein of Mario Kart, with customizable characters racing around a set of tracks. I enjoyed the game, though it is fun and simple. KartRider Rush accelerates for you, so you can either drive with a set of on-screen buttons or change the option to tilt the device. There are power-ups, like speed boosts and attacks, and races can be chaotic, with players quickly switching positions over the ride.
Nexon's model is all based on microtransactions, and KartRider Rush includes those as well. For in-app purchases from 99 cents up to $1.99, players can buy more customizations for their characters, better karts and new tracks to play on. The game's free to play, though I found the experience to be a little limited without at least unlocking tracks. This microtransaction model is Nexon's bread and butter, so while you can definitely download the game for free, you'll probably want to pony up a few dollars, which is completely reasonable.
KartRider Rush offers a speed mode (basically a time trial) or an item mode, which is a full race with all of the power-ups. There isn't online multiplayer, unfortunately (so it's not really an MMO), but your character is persistent, and up to four players at a time can race each other on local Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. The game does have Facebook integration, but strangely it doesn't have Game Center; Nexon's representatives waffled a bit on that one, including the word "yet" in their answer, so we might see it added later on.
KartRider Rush doesn't seem like it's destined to be a hit out of the gate, but as a platform test balloon for Nexon, it should do just fine. The company has also released a version of its popular MapleStory RPG on the iPhone already, and I was told Nexon is also working hard on translating some of its popular Korean featurephone games over to the smartphone platform. A number of developers have taken Nexon's model and found hits for themselves on Apple's App Store, and now it will be interesting to see if the Korean original can do the same.

ST. CHARLES, Mo.—A judge has ruled that St. Louis red-light cameras conflict with state law.
On Friday, a St. Louis Judge Michael Noble dismissed a $100 red-light ticket in a case against a woman, saying "the statement printed on the City's information and notice of violation is sufficient to show the City's Red Light Camera Ordinance" is in conflict with state law.
He stopped short of voiding the law.
Convictions resulting from red-light cameras in St. Louis don't result in penalty points for the driver.
Citing a previous case, Unverferth v. City of Florissant, Noble ruled state law requires points to be assessed for any moving violation of a municipal ordinance.
Red-light cameras were first installed in St. Louis in 2007 and earlier this year were deemed legal by the courts.
Red-light camera intersections are selected based on locations that have the highest incidence of violations and accidents. The $100 ticket must be reviewed by an actual officer for approval.
Click here to see the list of red light cameras which are at 35 St. Louis intersections.

Family Parents @ Play: Live action from your favorite screens Our agent is still trying to set up the Parents@Play TV show and action figures. Meanwhile, pretty much everyone else seems to have them (the Kardashians? Really?). Over the next few months we'll devote occasional columns to toys and games with TV and/or movie tie-ins. This week we take a look at one character who has made the transition from small screen to big, and a family of characters who seem perfectly content - for the time being - with being on TV. Keep your eye out for dinosaurs, minions, superheroes and more.
Family 'Come As You Are' just might save your sex life Emily Nagoski had to fight to call her new book, "Come As You Are."
Family Support grows to simplify government's college-aid form ATLANTA - For many students, the road to college begins before they ever set foot on a campus, with filling out a form - a long one.
Family One mom's empathy for PARCC test critics I'm probably opposed to the PARCC test, but I'm too busy filling out my kids' home reading logs to give it a proper assessment.
Family Living with Children: Has child-centered parenting backfired? In the 1960s, child and teen mental health and behavior problems began an alarming rise that has continued to the present. In 1970, one of my grad school professors proposed that this trend could be explained with the flight-or-fight principle (i.e. in response to perceived threat, a person is inclined to either flee or stand and fight).
Family Lori Borgman: Helicopter kids want to ground their parents For the past year, our social life has embodied the excitement of toothpaste.
Family Ana Veciana-Suarez: A chocolate shortage? Start hoarding now The world is running out of chocolate!
Family Chris Erskine: The school play a dramatic lesson in fleeting childhood So they held the school play the other night. I liked it, not just for the theme of kindness to animals but for the vision it offered of a fairer, less-contentious world.
Family Ask Mr. Dad: Hey, we were born that way Dear Mr. Dad: We have a two boys, ages 6 and 4. We've tried hard to raise them the same way, but they're completely different. The older one is generally pretty calm and cheerful, but the younger one is wild, noisy and impossible to discipline. How could two kids raised in the same house by the same parents be such polar opposites?
Family Sharon Randall: Stepping through pain into gratefulness It was not part of the plan. Or, at least, not my plan. I guess you could just call it life.
Family Balancing Act: Preparing for when your presence will embarrass your child It has come to my attention that I'll soon mortify my children.
Family The awkward question that could save your child's life Has any parent ever asked me if we have a firearm in the house before entrusting me with their child? No.
Family John Rosemond: Is 13-year-old having panic attacks about school? Problems with overwhelming anxiety are not uncommon for tweens and young teens.
Family Family Meals Matter: Bite into a healthy lifestyle March is National Nutrition Month - a time when the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics encourages all Americans to examine their food choices. This year's theme is "Bite into a Healthy Lifestyle." While some people think that healthy eating means a restrictive diet and bland flavor profile, fans of this column know that healthy eating from all five food groups means a wide variety of foods, flavors and textures, even dessert!
Family Lean In: Colleen Louw, technical program manager Six years ago my husband and I packed our bags - my drum, an array of books and a handful of last minute keepsakes pressed into our hands at the airport - and left our hometown at Africa's southernmost toe. We began our lives as immigrants in the hard-driving Washington, D.C., metro area just outside the Beltway.
Family Invisible Boyfriend app gives me an unreal idea There's a new app to fool people into believing you're in a relationship. The Invisible Boyfriend app. You design your dream guy - give him a name, photo, interests and personality. And for $24.99 a month, you can feel the effects of a rewarding virtual partner with the app that sends you texts, voice mails and a handwritten note from the perfect person you created.
Family Child Sense: Creating family keepsakes Our children grow up so fast, one minute they are lying in your arms unable to even sit or roll; and the next they are contemplating which college they want to go to. By having a family tradition of keeping and recording the special moments you share together with your child, you create a wonderful collection of very precious memories as well as having a great bonding activity to enjoy in the now. Use your child's dominant sense to choose a suitable medium that will make it a fun experience for all.

Family Game review: 'The Talos Principle': Tech-focused sci-fi puzzler challenges and rewards Parents need to know that"The Talos Principle"is a downloadable puzzle adventure game. Players will spend their time reading emails and piecing together what became of a ruined utopia while navigating its many, manyPortal-style puzzles. This is a game where progress is only made when it's earned, with lots of gated sections that can only be unlocked by procuring sacred Tetrominoes that must be carefully arranged on small grids. There are no enemies to blast - just lots of things to think through and tinker with. Even when hazards arise and you're shot at or fall victim to a trap in a puzzle, there's no violence;the game simply rewinds to an earlier section so you can start again.
Family App review: New YouTube app features kid-centric videos and parental controls Parents need to know thatYouTube Kidsis a kid-centric portal to YouTube that features curated TV shows, music, educational videos, and user-created content. There are parental control features in place- like a timer and a way to disable the search feature - but the content is still coming from YouTube, so some videos feature kid-targeted ads. Some videos havemild cartoon violence, some potentially creepy images, and some tween music videos that are tame overall but may not align with some parents' rules for younger viewers. But in general, there aren't any real minefields for parents to worry about, and neither kids nor parentsever enter any personal information.
Family Ultimate guide to YouTube Smosh, Good Mythical Morning, PewDiePie - the names may not mean much to you, but chances are your kids are on a first-name basis. Their funny hosts, off-the-cuff commentary, silly antics, and bewildering (to adults) subject matter put them among themost popular YouTube channelsfor young teens, garnering millions (and, in the case of game commentary PewDiePie,billions) of views. In fact, according to a recent survey of U.S. teens by Variety,the top five most influential celebrities are YouTube stars. But information about these personalities' shows - the content, quality, and age-appropriateness, for example - isn't easy for parents to find.

Anja Schneider is a name that isn't new to the game. She has been apart of the scene for many years as a broadcaster, producer, world-renowned DJ and founder of Mobilee Records. Once upon a time she was labeled a "perpetual motion machine," and is one of the hardest working individuals in the business. Her musical career began not in the DJ booth but in the radio booth as a producer for KissFM and then later as a radio persona for Fritz Radio. Armed with eclectic exceptional taste, a charming personality, and an engaging presentation style, her "Dance Under The Blue Moon" program became a stellar success. The program continues to air on Fritz Radio for the music loving masses of Berlin. It was through this medium that helped to launch her career as an international club DJ.Anja Schneider's biography Anja Schneider Musician

Just over a mile in elevation and one of the most picturesque homes on Palomar! Main home with three bedrooms, two garages (parks 3 cars), fabulous workshop, a guest apartment, sunroom with a spa, craft rooms, office, pantry/wine cellar, huge deck, and more! Wouldn't it make a fun Vacation Rental or B&B? 2728 sf on 1.3 acres. Call your family and friends, lots of room for everyone and you can be in for our next snow! But that is not all!!! The Gazebo on 1/3 acre next door is also available! See below and come take a look!
What a spectacular view from a charming gazebo on 1/3 acre. You look out over the 575 acre Jeff Valley, purchased a few years ago by SDG&E for land mitigation, with the National Forest. Hand-crafted by the owner with a kitchenette, the gazebo property joins the Mile High Lodge and would provide you such a beautiful, peaceful, gathering place. (To be sold only with the purchase of Mile High Lodge, or may be available after the Lodge is purchased.)
These views could be YOURS! Escape the stress of the cities to take-your-breath-away views at the southwest rim of Palomar Mountain. Dramatic views from every room. Amazing drama watching clouds below, storms come in, the sunsets, and that clear, dark sky for telescope viewing. Custom craftsmanship throughout 1789 sf, in warm, inviting Craftsman style with a touch of Tuscany. Can be used as three bedrooms with enchanting master suite. Finished garage is presently a workshop but with the bathroom, it wants to be a guest cottage for family and friends. Wonderful patio for entertaining with the rim-of-the-world views. Lots of extra parking for all on level, usable half acre with great year-round access. Come on up for a tour!
Two offers came in the first few days on this lovely home in Escondido. About ten years ago I had the pleasure assisting the seller with "The Ship House", a home he'd built on Palomar. Click for just a little of his story. City listings are much appreciated! I sure love to do the staging and marketing so would do my very best for any properties you could send my way! Thank you so much!
My son and his business partner created this fabulous re-build in San Diego. Every inch shows such a pride of craftsmanship now as a classic Craftsman home. It sold immediately but I'm leaving this up because I think you might like to see a couple very dramatic, before and afters. Original year built of 1908! They did such a great job! Do you know of a tired fixer that could perhaps be their next project? Please let me know. They are glad to breathe in new life and clean up the neighborhoods.

We worked with Kristina for both my engagement ring and band and my husband's band. Not only was it a pleasure to work with her, but she had great ideas and was very knowledgeable. I learned a lot and I absolutely love our rings!
Wedding: 7/22/2011
Diamonds Direct truly gives you the best deal for the biggest diamonds! They have been our family jewler for over 20 years and were wonderful to work with from the engagement ring to pieces of jewlery for the wedding.
Wedding: 7/21/2012
Love my wedding band, but not the service from one of the salespeople, Naomi, she was rude, but another salesperson, Kristina was great. Only bad thing is we had my engagement ring and wedding band soldered before the wedding and it broke on our wedding night. Not very good quality on the soldering :(

Let us be your personal jewelers for life.

BBC Implementation Plans for Network DAB Services
The introduction of Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) will see the most fundamental change in radio transmission technology since broadcasting first began. Apart from providing listeners with more rugged reception and consistent high quality audio, DAB offers the opportunity for broadcasters to provide new services. This paper describes the services the BBC will be providing when transmissions begin in September 1995. Possible future enhancement to services as well as the implications for receiver design are considered.

Over the next five weeks, we'll be highlighting a book a day from the Best Translated Book Award fiction longlist. Click here for all past write-ups.
I might be wrong about this, but it seems like Hugo Claus is one of those authors well-read Americans have heard of, but maybe never read. Or maybe they've read The Sorrows of Belgium, which is by far his most well-known work. (And the reason why he was always rumored for the Nobel Prize.) Wonder, in all its strangeness, may well bring a whole new group of readers to his work though.
Before getting to the book itself, it's worth touching on Claus's life for a moment. As Archipelago writes in its author bio: "Impossible to pin down, Claus was eclectic and in constant motion; his work is kaleidoscopic." He was 18 when his first book of poems was published, and then he went on to write six novels and a number of plays.
He was also a painter and was affiliated with the CoBrA group (I love manifesto-driven groups with abbreviations resulting in quirky capitalization a la the OuLiPo . . .) a collection of artists that—at least according Wikipedia, the World's Greatest Short Form Information Source—shared "a unifying doctrine of complete freedom of colour and form, as well as antipathy towards surrealism, the artists also shared an interest in Marxism as well as modernism." Claus died of voluntary euthanasia in 2008.
I can't do half the job Michael Orthofer did in describing Wonder so I'm think I'm just going to crib his review . . . The focal point of the novel is Victor Denijs de Rijckel, a schoolteacher who is a bit mental before the story even starts. And the novel progresses along two major tracks: a series of entries de Rijckel makes in a notebook he's keeping at the institution where he currently resides, and a chronological description of earlier events.
The plot is set in motion when de Rijckel attends a masquerade ball, falls for a woman (isn't it always the case?), and then meets a young student the next morning who knows the woman and where she lives. Michael can take it away:
The woman lives at Almout castle, in Hekegem, and they go there. Taking a room at a local inn the teacher passes the boy off as his nephew, but eventually they suspect him of being a paedophile; rather than turn him in, however, they want their silence to be bought — typical, it turns out, for this morally compromised nest. Reaching Almout de Rijckel is mistaken for someone else, the Dutch delegate to a meeting taking place there.
Wonder was first published in 1962, and the shadow of World War II is still a very strong presence. The meeting at Almout is of those sympathetic to the Nazi cause, the figure that looms over the meeting and town that of Jan-Willem Crabbe who distinguished himself during the war and about whose fate many theories swirl. De Rijckel is shown a picture of Crabbe: "being decorated with the Ritterkreuz by Hitler himself and you can see the admiration on Hitler's face."
Obviously, de Rijckel is in way over his head — led around by a boy barely in his teens ("my messenger and guide, who has led me from disgrace to scandal"), considered a paedophile by the townsfolk and a Nazi sympathiser by those at Almout. Things spiral somewhat out of control, but in a book where the central character has never been in much control it seems the obvious course.
And to get a sense of the prose, here's a bit from de Rijckel's notebook, which is more jumpy and linguistically playful that the descriptive sections of the book, but demonstrate Claus's talents (and Michael Henry Heim's):
Just now I nearly fell asleep as I wrote. And of course I was writing that the teacher fell asleep. There's not a soul in this dump. Nobody can whisper the answers the way they did at teacher's-college exams. The fastest years of our lives. Classes. Cheating, masturbation, pimples. Film. Over. So fast: a father, a mother, Elizabeth, the Principal.
She didn't want a child. Mostly finger fumble. A wife who still belonged in school. Criss-cross spider webs. Crossword puzzles. One day she crossed out the word "marriage" in nearly all my books. In red ink. Every morning she combed and combed her hair. Then she left me. No big deal. The first thing I thought was, I'm going to wallpaper the apartment to my taste. But she kept the apartment: her mother saw to that. The pattern on the wallpaper came from a junk shop: crinolines and fiacres from French woodcuts—that sort of thing.
I felt more at home in my hotel room. Anonymous as a classroom. I wish I could get today's paper. Or—I've asked that bastard twenty times by now—a dictionary. I want to dazzle Korneel (who will never read this notebook, may he die of cancer) with adjectives. I was good at composition. I once wrote a composition about spring.
Echoing another of Michael's observations, the narrative is a bit disjointed, non-linear, and hazy. But it also has a very classic, very capital-l Literary feel. This is a book that's going to be read for years, which is a testament to the great work Archipelago is doing.
I'm going to leave off here with an awesome quote from Claus himself that's on the back of the book: "We cannot accept the world as it is. Each day we should wake up foaming at the mouth from the injustice of things."
Hugo Claus, one of Belgium's most respected writers, passed away yesterday, reportedly of euthanasia.
Claus produced some 200 works during his career but was best known for his classic, The Sorrow of Belgium—a scathing attack on social injustice, stifling family relationships and Roman Catholic repression in his native Flanders in northern Belgium. [. . .]
Often writing out of anger and guilt, Claus relied on pitiless realism in his work.
"I am a person who is unhappy with things as they stand. We cannot accept the world as it is. Each day we should wake up foaming at the mouth because of the injustice of things," he said in a magazine interview more than a decade ago. [. . .]
Throughout his life, Claus was a reluctant Belgian despite the increasing adulation at home as one of the prime men of letters in the Dutch language. But he said being from Belgium — the laughingstock of the French and Dutch alike — was a great advantage to his writing since he never was restrained by any sense of grandeur.
In addition to Sorrow of Belgium (which is available from Overlook) , a few of his other titles are available in English translation, and Archipelago has plans to bring out Amazement in a translation by Michael Henry Heim.
The last five days of the eleventh-century Icelandic politician, writer of sagas, and famous murder victim Snorri Sturleleson (the Norwegian spelling, Snorre, is preserved in the book) make up Thorvald Steen's most recently translated historical fiction, The Little Horse. Murdered. . .
We all know Paris, or at least we think we know it. The Eiffel Tower. The Latin Quarter. The Champs-Élysées. The touristy stuff. In Dominique Fabre's novel, Guys Like Me, we're shown a different side of Paris: a gray, decaying. . .
One hundred pages into Birth of a Bridge, the prize-winning novel from French writer Maylis de Kerangal, the narrator describes how starting in November, birds come to nest in the wetlands of the fictional city of Coca, California, for three. . .
At 30, the Mexican writer Valeria Luiselli is already gathering her rosebuds. Faces in the Crowd, her poised debut novel, was published by Coffee House Press, along with her Brodsky-infused essay collection, Sidewalks. The essays stand as a theoretical map. . .
Fantomas Versus the Multinational Vampires: An Attainable Utopia (narrated by Julio Cortázar) is, not disappointingly, as wild a book as its title suggests. It is a half-novella half-graphic novel story about . . . what, exactly? A European tribunal, Latin. . .
Marie NDiaye has created a tiny, psychological masterpiece with her Self-Portrait in Green. In it she explores how our private fears and insecurities can distort what we believe to be real and can cause us to sabotage our intimate relationships.. . .
Reading a genre book—whether fantasy, science fiction, crime, thriller, etc.—which begins to seem excessively, stereotypically bad, I have to make sure to ask myself: is this parodying the flaws of the genre? Usually, this questioning takes its time coming. In. . .

Description This invention relates to apparatus for recording electrocardiograms, of a kind enabling an electrocardiogram to be registered and recorded without specialised apparatus or particular know-how. Such apparatus enables a patient to record one or more electrocardiograms at the moment when the symptoms of a cardiac ailment appear. This offers a very simple manner in which an electrocardiogram significant to the ailment afflicting the patient to be obtained whatever the circumstances and location, without outside aids; the electrocardiograms thus registered are recorded by the apparatus and the recordings can be read and analysed subsequently by the practising doctor. Portable apparatus for recording electrocardiograms are known in which the electrocardiogram is registered between the patient's hands. Such apparatus comprises two electrodes to which are applied one or more fingers of each hand when an ailment appears, the recording being made automatically. It has been observed that patients tend to tense their hands at the moment that the recording is being made, with resulting variations of the pressure on the electrodes, which leads to poor quality of the recordings, because of the presence of artifacts. An object of the invention is to provide a portable apparatus for registering and recording electrocardiograms of the above kind, which reduces the tendency for the patient to tense his hands during the recording, so as to improve the quality of the recording. The present invention provides portable apparatus for recording electrocardiograms from a patient's hands, comprising a pocket-sized casing, first and second electrode means for contacting at least parts of respective hands of the patient, and retaining means juxtaposed with said electrode means for pressing said parts of the patient's hands into contact with said electrode means, and maintaining said apparatus in position in the patient's hands. The retaining means acts so that the patient does not have to exert any effort to hold his hands in contact with the electrodes, which reduces the risk of him tensing his hands. Also, the hands are maintained immobile and under constant pressure on the electrodes during the recording of the electrocardiogram. This gives a significant improvement in recording quality even in difficult recording conditions. A preferred embodiment of the apparatus includes trigger means actuable by a further part of one of the patient's hands for triggering recording of said electrocardiogram. Also the apparatus preferably includes transducer means for contacting at least part of one of the patient's hands and registering systolic and distolic blood pressure. This enables simultaneous recordings to be made of the electrocardiogram and of the blood pressure at the moment the symptoms appear. The analysis of the doctor will give an even more precise diagnosis. In one embodiment of the invention, said parts and said further part of the patient's hands include the index fingers, from which said electrocardiogram is registered. One index finger may trigger the recording while blood pressure is measured on the other. In another embodiment of the invention, said parts of the patient's hands include the index fingers, from which said electrocardiogram is registered, and said further part includes one of the patient's thumbs. The thumb then triggers the recording, while the index fingers contact the electrodes. Other features and advantages of the invention will appear from the following description, given by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an apparatus in accordance with the invention; FIGS. 2 and 3 are detail views of retaining means in the apparatus of FIG. 1; FIG. 4 is a side view of a variant of the apparatus of FIG. 1; FIG. 5 is a side view of another apparatus in accordance with the invention. The electrocardiogram recording apparatus shown in FIG. 1 comprises a generally flat casing 1 of size small enough to be carried in the patient's pocket; on the upper face of the casing are provided two electrocardiogram pick-up electrodes 2 and 3, which are suitable for contact with parts of the patient's hands, in this case the four fingers of each hand. To this end, the casing 1 is taken in both hands, the palm of one hand applied on the small side 4 of the casing and the palm of the other hand applied to the opposite side of the casing 1, the thumbs being placed on the lower face of the casing. Retaining means for the parts of the hands contacting the electrodes 2 and 3 are provided; these retaining means press the relevant part of the hand onto the electrodes with a constant pressure. The patient does not have to grip the casing since his hands are maintained, and there is therefore no tendency for him to tense his hands. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the retaining means are elastic, and comprise two elastic strips 5 and 6 disposed generally juxtaposed to the electrodes and extending over the whole width of the casing 1. These retaining strips 5 and 6 are secured to the two sides of the casing 1 which the patient's hands do not contact during the electrocardiogram recording. To this end, these two sides (of which only one side 7 is visible in FIG. 1) present a longitudinal dove-tail shaped slit 8, whose section is shown in FIG. 3. This longitudinal slit comprises a notch 9, preferably disposed at the middle and whose width corresponds approximately to the base of the slit 8. In addition, the ends of the strips 5 and 6 have an enlarged section 10 (see FIG. 2) whose section corresponds to the width of the notch 9; this enlarged section is obtained for example, by rolling up the ends of the strips 5 and 6. It will be understood that the ends 10 of the strips 5 and 6 may be engaged in the notch 9 and then slid along in the slit 8 to bring the strips 5 and 6 opposite the electrodes 2 and 3. The apparatus shown in FIG. 4 comprises a variant of the retaining means of FIG. 1; the retaining means of FIG. 4 comprises two clamps 13 and 14 secured to one side of the casing 1; the clamps 13 and 14 are relatively elastic and form a spring which defines with the side of the casing 1 a recess 15 for receiving a finger. In this case the patient inserts a finger of each hand under the clamps 13 and 14 which press on the fingers and maintain them in place against a measurement or trigger member. In the example illustrated, one finger 16 of one hand, for example the index finger, is applied to a member 17 for triggering the electrocardiogram recording, and the other finger 18 is applied to a pick-up 19 which is suitable for measuring the systolic and the diastolic blood pressure graphs. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the two clamps 13 and 14 comprise a horizontal bar of a T-shaped part 20, whose vertical bar 21 is mounted slidingly in the casing 1. The T-shaped piece 20 is urged towards the casing 1 by a return spring device indicated schematically at 22. This retaining device comprising the T-piece 20 comprises a latch shown schematically in FIG. 4 and comprising a ball 23 urged by a spring 24 against the bar 21 and cooperating with a notch therein. Advantageously, the latch, which is provided to hold the T-piece 20 spaced from the casing 1 to enable the fingers 16 to be inserted more readily into the recesses 15, comprises an unlatching member (not shown) so as to allow the T-piece 20 to return and press the fingers of the patient in the electrocardiogram recording position. This unlatching member acts on the ball 23, for example; it may be actuated by another part of the patient's hands. Advantageously, this unlatching member may be coupled to the device for triggering the recording. FIG. 5 shows another variant of the casing 31, which has the general shape and approximate size of a packet of cigarettes. In this embodiment the electrocardiogram recording is taken from the patient's index fingers such as 32 which are applied to electrocardiogram electrodes 35 disposed on one of the long sides 33 of the casing 31, and the fingers may be retained in position by retaining means (not shown) such as that illustrated in FIG. 4 for example. At least one of the patient's thumbs, such as 34 contacts a device 36 for triggering the recording and unlatching the clamps as in the case of the retaining means shown in FIG. 4. Triggering device 36 and 36a may also be provided in the embodiment of the invention shown in FIG. 1 for actuation by the thumb or index finger of the patient. Blood pressure graphs may be measured from one of the index fingers. Since the electrocardiogram electrodes are disposed on the longer side 33 of the casing 31, their spacing is sufficient for the apparatus to be used for precordial recording so as to refine further the characteristics of the curve recorded. For pre-cordial recording, if retaining means are provided, it must be possible for them to be disengaged to expose the electrodes, and elastic retaining strips as described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 may be used. When the apparatus includes a device for recording the systolic and diasystolic blood pressure curves, it is necessary for the doctor to have a specialised decoder at his office which enables the graphs of blood pressure to be recorded and, for example, displayed visually. Another feature of the apparatus shown in FIG. 1 gives an improvement in the quality of the electrocardiograms which are picked up and recorded. In order to avoid interferences (myograms) due to muscular artifacts, the electrocardiogram pick-up electrodes 2 and 3 only extend over approximately two thirds of the cavity receiving the patient's fingers or other parts of his hands; the other parts of the electrodes 2 and 3 indicated at 40 and 41 respectively are insulated from the electrodes 2 and 3, for example by a wall (not shown) and form earth electrodes which are connected to the electronic devices for processing the electrocardiogram picked up. Moreover, the apparatus may comprise means for displaying the number of sequences already recorded; the recording memory enables several separate electrocardiogram recordings to be made and the display means enables the patient to know if it is still possible to make an electrocardiogram recording or if the memory capacity is full. The display means may conveniently be combined with a digital clock which displays the time and enables the date and time to be recorded simultaneously with the electrocardiograms. This display device can also, in a variant, indicate the number of recordings which may still be made. Patent Citations

Treatment of children misguided
I was horrified to read about Xiao Baiyou and his appalling child-rearing methods ('Lessons in tough love from the 'wolf dad'', December 18). My heart goes out to his poor children who have suffered years of mistreatment and to any others raised by similarly cruel, ill-informed parents.
Surely such tragically misguided parenting ideas belong in a distant past?
It is really hard to believe that in 2011 parents can treat their children with such blatant disrespect? 'Lessons in tough love' they most definitely are not. Xiao Baiyou's children have been given a masterclass in how not to raise children.
How his wife could stand by while her children were treated in this way is beyond belief. She also has a lot to answer for.
Getting an education may be important (it isn't to everyone) but not at the expense of children's self-esteem, socialising with peers, creativity, self-direction, independent thinking, sense of security in a loving environment and just plain fun.
Children deserve to be raised in an atmosphere of love and respect.
They are individual human beings with their own interests, abilities and talents that should be nurtured.
Why demand respect for yourself when not giving it to them?
Hitting children teaches them that violence is the way to solve problems.
If they behave in a way you want after you have hit them, it's not because they've 'learned their lesson', it's because they are traumatised and afraid of being hit again.
You are, in fact, teaching them what it feels like to be unloved, abandoned and very scared. Psychiatric hospitals and drug- rehab clinics are full of the results of such brutal parenting.
These unfortunate children may indeed succeed in daddy's eyes by bringing home his much-coveted PhD.
I sadly wonder if they will ever feel self-fulfilled or even have the ability to choose for themselves how to build satisfying adult lives out of the heartbreaking mess that was their miserable childhood.
Shame on you, Xiao Baiyou.
Kate O'Hara, Sai Kung
Principles preached universally
A commonly heard reference to Chinese values is reflected in the interview with Xiao Baiyou ('Lessons in tough love from the 'wolf dad'', December 18). He cites being 'filial to parents, friendly with peers and respectful of ... teachers' as principles that are traditional (suggesting unique) to Chinese culture.
But, looking even further than the creed of the Fifth Commandment ('honour thy father and thy mother') as practised in Christian nations, these parenting principles are recognised and preached universally, all within the bonds of our shared humanity.
C. Joseph Bendy, Central
Not the best save-energy solution
I refer to the report ('Homes with high power use face 20pc bigger bills', December 15).
I do not support the new tariff proposed by Hong Kong's electricity suppliers.
Although it is designed to make consumers who use more power pay additional sums, it will lead to financial hardship for some people.
Inflation is high at the moment in Hong Kong and the cost of various things is rising.
Given the financial problems faced by many citizens, this is not the right time to change the tariff structure.
There are better ways to promote the idea of saving electricity. There should be more public promotions and education in schools.
Over time, people can develop the habit of saving energy. It is about developing lifelong education so that gradually attitudes change.
I am not against increased bills, but the adjustments should be made in a rational manner.
It is unacceptable for power companies, if they make a profit every year, to also announce an annual bill increase.
Even the chief executive expressed misgivings over the proposed tariff hikes.
Derek Ho, Tsuen Wan
Ferry firm should have rethink
Bicycles have been allowed for free on the Star Ferry's Tsim Sha Tsui-Wan Chai route since 2003. Now the company is to introduce a charge of HK$20 for each bike.
It argues that average usage has increased since its Hung Hom services were shut down, as this is the only cross-harbour route which carries bikes. It says a HK$20 fare will not be enough to cover the cost of extra staff to ensure the safety of the cyclists.
Few Hongkongers commute to work by bicycle. I do not believe the company needs extra staff for the bikes.
The Star Ferry should reconsider this charge. Surely it would be better to charge the cyclists a smaller amount during peak hours and let them on board for free at off-peak periods.
Chilli Leung, Hung Hom
Keep cyclists away from HK's traffic
I disagree with those people who are against the proposal for the Star Ferry to impose a charge of HK$20 for bicycles on the Star Ferry route from Tsim Sha Tsui to Wan Chai.
I think that bicycles have no place in Hong Kong.
They are dangerous and should be kept completely away from traffic.
The only places they should be allowed are where there is no vehicular traffic, such as Discovery Bay.
Earlier this month I saw a cyclist travelling down the tram tracks on Hennessy Road and nearly causing an accident by running into a tram. They often travel the wrong way along roads.
Cyclists regularly cycle at dangerous speeds on country park trails with no regard for walkers and, when pushing bikes on the pavements and in crowded areas, often knock into walkers with their pedals.
Please keep them off the Star Ferry.
Ian A. Skeggs, Tai Hang
Accidents caused by poverty
I have been saddened to read about the fatal school bus accidents on the mainland.
Earlier this month, 15 children died in an overloaded bus in Jiangsu that had 87 passengers.
These buses are often overloaded because many schools lack sufficient funds.
They simply do not have enough money to hire enough vehicles so their pupils can travel in safety. They have to cut costs. This is made worse because parents are often poor and cannot contribute much to the cost of transport. Because of this, we will continue to see bus accidents.
The central government should provide more resources to schools so they can rent enough buses and ensure that they are not overloaded.
Beijing must also tighten supervision of the operation of these vehicles. School authorities which allow buses to be overloaded should be punished.
Natalie Wong Hoi-yi, To Kwa Wan
No Nobel Prize for economics
Tom Yam's article ('Is economics about maths or the mind?' December 18), is interesting and relevant, but it also perpetuates a common myth.
Contrary to popular belief, there is no such thing as the Nobel Prize in economics. There are five Nobel Prizes - in literature, chemistry, physics and medicine, respectively, and the Nobel Peace Prize.
The so-called Nobel Prize in economics is actually the Sveriges Riksbank (Sweden's central bank) Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel.
It was established in the late 1960s after the Nobel Foundation had decided not to institute a Nobel Prize in economics on the same footing as the other established Nobel prizes.
Robert Gregory, Happy Valley
Self-adhesive stamps are long overdue
People should not have to purchase stamps that they must lick in order to stick them to an envelope.
This is the worst form of germ-carrying in this world city. It is the same with those envelopes that you have to lick.
In the interests of good hygiene, there should be a law that forces Hongkong Post to sell self-adhesive stamps and envelopes at its post offices.
Y. W. Wong, Mid-Levels

Potty Question How many times does the average horse pee and poo a day? |
I don't think there is an average...if there is I'm unsure. A horse poops when they are nervous...ever notice that if something is scaring a horse, they poop more? And a horse only pees when he's comfortable, so again it depends on their envornment. Today, from 10 am - 3 pm, Sonny went poop probably 7ish times (really windy and the dogs were running around with a horse eating plastic bag....plus the pigs turned horse-eaters for the day :lol:.)....and he peed once in his stall when the wind died down So I think it depends. I knew one horse that went 8 times in 1 hour.......lol yeah |
I have no idea, I would guess that it would depend alot on diet and excersices as well. |
Ditto the previous posters. That is one of the reasons I bring everyone in at night. I clean stalls every morning so that gives me a chance to see the quality of manure every day. The moistness and consistency of the manure is what's important.:-) They each generally leave me 3-5 piles thru the night - unless there's going to be a big change in barometric pressure, then they only each leave one or two piles, but will make up for it after the weather change hits. That is no joke - lol lol As far as pee, that's an individual thing too, unless you notice one of your horses urinating just about every time you look out the window, then it might be time to call the vet. Also if the urine is brown in color (not to be confused with dark yellow), that indicates blood in the urine and the vet should be called. Hope this helps some:-) |
I looked this up once after a particularly gruelling mucking session: "A 1000-pound horse will defecate from 4 to 13 times each day and produce 35 to 50 pounds of wet manure (feces plus urine) daily, or approximately 9.1 tons per year." I thought it was just my horses! :shock: |
interesting... You know I had never really thought about frequency...so much as consistency. But my husband has taken over poop mucking duties...and he always yells at me "how much does this horse poop!!" So I got to thinking I don't know? He went 13 times in the last 24 hours...and peed 3 times from what I saw. Interesting about the barometric pressure thing:? |
Well, if you think about it horses consume at a minimum 1.5% of their weight in forage per day---that's alot of fiber! |
Thanks for an answer servinator! :D |
Doesn't it give you a back-ache just thinking about it - 9.1 tons!!!!!! |
i think it's like every 20 to 30 minutes for poop if they are free range feeding.... I'm not sure about pee.... |

Easter devotions are here! Sign up for our Lent and Easter email devotions.
(1.) A portable shield (2 Sam. 22:31; 1 Chr. 5:18).
(2.) A shield surrounding the person; the targe or round form; used once figuratively (Ps. 91:4).
(3.) A large shield protecting the whole body (Ps. 35:2; Ezek. 23:24; 26:8).
(4.) A lance or spear; improperly rendered "buckler" in the Authorized Version (1 Chr. 12:8), but correctly in the Revised Version "spear."
The leather of shields required oiling (2 Sam. 1:21; Isa. 21:5), so as to prevent its being injured by moisture. Copper (= "brass") shields were also in use (1 Sam. 17:6; 1 Kings 14:27). Those spoken of in 1 Kings 10:16, etc.; 14:26, were probably of massive metal.
The shields David had taken from his enemies were suspended in the temple as mementoes (2 Kings 11:10). (See ARMOUR.)

I have my own now but the last time I rented one the shop told me they don't bother to sharpen them, just replace the chain! I found this out when I brought it back and told them I dulled it terribly!
I have hand sharpened my chains since I was a kid. Chains last 4x longer and I get a much better edge with a file than a grinder can make. I can also sharpen a chain on a 20 inch bar about as quickly as most people can change the chain. Maybe a little slower. But if you add in all of the time to constantly change chains and then sharpen those chains on your grinder I end up way ahead in the game at the end of the day.

There'll be more tomorrow I think as well as some instant milk and butter-flavored Crisco from two or three others I'll be driving past early. FTI, it's going into mylar bags.

Over here in Michigan we are preparing for an economic collapse, and ya know maybe Zombies .....if we're lucky!! My husband is preparing the guns and reloading bullets and I am preparing some food. We started about two months ago and this the food food I have collected, and this is only hitting the sales.
Dinner at KitKats everyone!!! Move the bottom shelf up a BIT eventually and you can slide some low, flat, case of something under the thing and probably get more on the unit. Tuna in oil, Spam Lite, etc. Talk with and read some experts about what are the best things to collect for food. Calories per volume and weight rule. Balanced nutrition is important too. I do not subscribe to the "buy what you eat, eat what you buy" concept for extended timeframe preparation.
Was in Home Depot and just had to get some "fuel Getters" for camping and the wood stove. Those little hatchets are fairly light and really well balanced for me and the leather handle feels really natural. They'll also fit in the BOB nicely with little weight and help if it goes beyond the expected three days. The other picture is the longer camp axe for bigger logs (fits nicely under a car seat), a 36" breaker bar for tearing down wood from construction sites that is nailed together (also fits under seat) - great for recycling wood that everyone else is filling landfills with, and a...uh...potato masher, yeah that's it...that I rescued from my storage shed. Well, we won't have the electric mixer to mash potatoes when the SHTF!! :-P Oh, BTW, the handle, head and tang on all of the axes is one solid piece of steel - they're made by Estwing. No wooden handle to break or screws to come loose and won't break if you miss. KISS principal in action!

Okay so I've never cooked or brewed with habanero or jalapeño so I need some help. Daughters Bo loves hot sauce jalapeño and habanero. Asked me to brew him up a batch but haven't a clue what it would taste like. After a few searches I see that roasting 3 over the grill and putting them in last few minutes of boil would work. Then vodka soaked 2-3 more in secondary for additional. So, I need help from someone who has done this and how much is too much and would smoking on the grill vs roasting in the oven the best flavor? So, throw out some ideas please.
Dive Often! Play Hard and Have a homeBrew!
Not sure how much help this'll be. I brewed a peach habanero saison. I used 5 dried habaneros 30 mins in the boil. I didn't use any in secondary as I wasn't looking for the heat as much as I wanted the habanero flavor. Turned out great. I got good habanero flavor on the back end. I talked to another guy who used habaneros in secondary. He said to be careful...3-5 peppers for a 5 gal brew and only 3-5 days in secondary.
Also if anyone can help with this. I tend to like habaneros over jalapeños. They seem smoother to me. Anyone brewed with both or have a preference as to which taste better in a brew?
Mine had quite a bit going on and it turned out well. I had added some coriander, grains of paradise, and bitter orange peel to get a spicy citrus tone. Maybe adding an oz of lime zest for the last 5 minutes of the boil might give you the flavor you're looking for. You might also consider using some Citra hops, they tend to have a strong grapefruit/lime aroma.
I brew an award winning green chile blonde ale. The technique for the chiles is that I bbq them until they are are burnt and bubbly. Once cooked I immediately put them into a plastic bag to steam for 15-20 minutes. I then put the whole bag into the freezer. Freezing the cooked chiles helps to break down the cell walls so they will "leak" even more flavor when thawed. I put mine(whole)into the secondary with the finished beer. Let your own taste be the judge when rack to into the keg.
Check out my nanobrewery!http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Two...02323289804018
I haven't brewed with chilis, but I'll tell you, you can't grill a habenero...tried it once and there's not enough flesh. Maybe smoking it would work, but on the grill, i just got a useless burnt pepper
I made a cream ale with habanero for my mother. I only made a 1 gal batch to test and used the habanero in the secondary. The way I did it was: two days before shifting to a secondary I placed one cut up one habanero in a pan and got it a little bit burnt up then soaked it in vodka for two days. When I did my secondary I just tossed it in. My mother and everyone she shared it with loved it and now I am being forced to make more.
i'm thinking of doing a smoked blonde'ish kind of ale ... 6 row, smoked malt and roasted poblanos. I wish you luck on yours!
