Using javascript + GoogleMaps
In my app, I have a screen where a Google Map is rendered. And, I have some statistics of Population growth across the countries which are rendered as PieCharts. I succeeded in rendering PieCharts using Google API. Now I want to render these generated PieCharts on GoogleMap. For example, there should be a PieChart rendered over America which explains the population growth yearly in America. How can I achieve it? Plz sujjest some idea. Is it possible using Google API for Map Layers.?? Thanks for the patience.

Chip carving patterns #4: Wheat 1
Perhaps a good design for coasters that will hold those beer bottles! Keeping the knife in a near vertical position where the stems cross over will help to keep tear out to a minimum.

Chip carving patterns #3: Grid pattern #1
02-25-2010 02:16 AM by lovestoys | 2 comments »
Found a cool trick to help with the dry air of winter carving. I've been placing a piece of dampened paper towel around the wood blank an hour or two before I carve. When I first did it, I just put it on one side, which lead to some weird warping, but when the blank re-dried it was flat again (whew). This pattern relies almost entirely on the basic triangle cuts, so it's good for practice. I used a simple flower motif in the center, it can be left blank or used for some...

Another basic coaster pattern. I use the straight lines to practice my "pull" cuts. The star bursts are done with a stab knife.
Chip carving patterns #1: Coasters

Just a pattern I've been playing with. Pretty basic approach to a rosette. The outer dimension is 3 1/2" square. The pattern starts with approximately a 10mm border. Enjoy.

It's about time! We finally got a good job with a lot of carving. It's a three piece bedroom set. The style is close to the early Victorian Period.

All the carvings are out of solid cherry. Here are 33 pictures, on how to carve this type of "Architectural Ornament onlay application̶...
Adventures in Carving a Tompson Sub Machine Gun Stock #2: Roughing out the scroll pattern
02-05-2010 03:29 AM by Jimthecarver | 4 comments »
This adventure in carving has been very enjoyable.The scroll pattern seemed to be a bit more advanced than I had anticipated. Although I am never one to run from a challenge. I kind of get a grin and ….well as my mom always said "you can see the wheels turning in that boys head." So I grabbed a very small home made gouge and the chips were flying….sort of.This wood is so very dry for carving After about 12 hours I ended up with this. I am attempting to simulate bullet ...
Traditional Chinese Woodworking #4: Chinese Hammers: the Common Unknown Tool
02-04-2010 07:34 AM by chscholz | 12 comments »
Anybody who has studied Chinese woodworking will not doubt have come across prints like this one where a ancient Chinese woodworker is depicted pounding on a piece of furniture with what appears to be the blunt edge of an axe. For example the Lu Ban Jing, a woodworkers manual written around in the 15th century, shows a woodworker assembling a table by pounding on one of its legs with the blunt side of an axe. During much of China's long and colorful history, China has been more or le...
Things of wood I have seen #2: A carved castle scene... in an Irish castle
02-04-2010 04:21 AM by mtkate | 3 comments »
As in my first blog entry, this is a thing of beauty I saw at Bunratty Castle in Ireland – wooden of course. It measured about 4 feet square (or so my memory says) and was housed near a window. My guess again is 17th century. I cannot fathom the amount of work this entailed. There is a closer shot of detail I found interesting below. You can see some wear on the dogs – probably from hands reaching up and petting them (alas!). I hope you enjoyed the scenery. See...

Product description
Based on a Gallup study of over two million people who have excelled in their careers, NOW, DISCOVER YOUR STRENGTHS uses a revolutionary programme to help readers discover their distinct talents and strengths. The product of a twenty-five year, multi-million pound effort to identify the most prevalent human talents, the StrengthsFinder programme introduces thirty-four talents or 'themes' and reveals how they can best be translated into personal and career success. Each copy of the book contains a unique password that gives the reader access to the StrengthsFinder Profile, a Web-based interview that analyses people's instinctive reactions and immediately presents them with their five most dominant strengths. Once readers know which of the thirty-four talent themes dominates their personality, they can make practical applications at three levels: as an individual, as a manager and within an organisation. Readers learn what kind of environments will allow them to flourish; how managers can better cultivate their employers' talents; and how almost all organisations inhibit the talents of their people and need to change.

Osprey work could total $575 million
- Mark Abramson
- Reporter- Pacific Business News
- Email | Twitter
Defense contractors anticipate being able to bid on work valued at more than $575 million at Marine Corps Air Station Kaneohe Bay on Marine Corps Base Hawaii as early as this summer.
The Marine Corps' announcement earlier this week that the final environmental impact statement has been completed for building hangars, taxiways, parking areas and other facilities to base MV-22 Ospreys and helicopters at the base means the contracts could be opened up for bids in three to six months, said Kelvin Osborne, Watts Constructors senior vice president of Hawaii operations.
Comments received during the next 30 days could help shape how the project is designed, he added.
The secretary of the Navy, Ray Mabus at present, would have to issue a record of decision on the final EIS before any contracting decisions are made, Marine Corps 1st Lt. Diann Olson said in an email.
"The record of decision will be signed in early August," she said. "Requests for proposals for the initial contracts and permanent personnel relocations will be initiated after the record of decision."
The project is expected to bring jobs and more Marines to boost the local economy. Osborne estimated that it could create 200 construction jobs at its peak and require anywhere from 30 to 50 subcontractors. And it will add 1,000 Marines at the base and 20 civilian jobs.
This project and the Marines it will bring is separate from the Pentagon's plans to relocate thousands of Marines from Okinawa to Hawaii, Guam and elsewhere in the Pacific. Gov. Neil Abercrombie's office has said that move will bring 2,700 more Marines to Hawaii, but the Department of Defense is still working on those plans and nothing has been finalized.
Mark Abramson covers transportation, military contracting and sports marketing for Pacific Business News.

We're not prepared to write off Premier-designate Kathleen Wynne before she has had a chance to right the listing ship that's Ontario.
However, we're also not forgetting how she recently steered Halton residents off course when it was politically-advantageous to do so.
Wynne captured the Ontario Liberal leadership in January and along with the title of premier, appears to have won the political equivalent of a stay of execution for her party.
Oakville MPP Kevin Flynn recently said Wynne has continually demonstrated leadership, energy and an ability to bring opposing sides to the table to find solutions to challenges.
"I look forward to working closely with Kathleen on a number of important issues to Oakville," he said.
The current political climate of the province seems to be about pulling together for the common good over forcing snap elections.
If Wynne can somehow magically deliver jobs to Ontario — the province that once laid claim to the title of economic engine of the country but currently has the highest unemployment rate west of the Maritimes at 7.9 per cent — then she might actually finish the term Dalton McGuinty started.
Still, we are only 18 months removed from then Minister of Transportation Kathleen Wynne's pre-election promise that no new highway would cross the Niagara Escarpment through Halton.
"That detailed work has not been done because we're not moving ahead with it," Wynne told concerned Halton officials back in July, 2011.
Last year, Halton regional councillors were shocked and exasperated to learn from a Ministry of Transportation project co-ordinator that an escarpment route through north Burlington was still part of a proposed Niagara-to-GTA highway.
The same ministry source also confirmed his department was never formally directed to remove any route options that pre-dated Wynne's 2011 promise.
While we agree that it's the democratically right thing to do to allow Wynne an opportunity to put Ontario back on the road to economic recovery, we're also acutely aware that when another election appears on the political horizon, Wynne isn't beyond resorting to that time-honoured political tradition of expanding the truth to attract more votes.

It's not only tech companies like ours that are trying to make the most of your unwanted gadgets and cast-off mobile phones. Across the web there are heaps of businesses from every sector looking to help customers make their odds and ends go a little further. We help you sell your iPhone for some quick cash, other folks offer great ways to renovate furniture on the cheap, sell homemade crafts and even make a bit by posting recipes online.
Today we thought we'd hone in on a great gal from across the pond in Columbia SA (US) who's making quite a name for herself, not by buying your old clothes, but by showing you how to refashion mostly hideous pieces into things you actually want. She's called Jillian and maintains a fashion blog called Refashionisa.
We wouldn't normally plug someone outside the tech industry, but we were really impressed with how much Jillian does for, well... nothing! From 2011-2012 she challenged herself to make one new outfit per day using some grotesque smock dress sent in by a reader or ugly charity shop find. All outfits were then donated to her local women's shelter charity shop to be sold.
Some of our team have become so addicted to this girl's advice that the local charity shop has been cleared out on several occasions! So, while you sell mobile phones or use Money4Machines to sell games consoles for cash, why not pop over to see what dear Jillian is up to today?
And don't forget, there are heaps of other individuals and businesses out there who can help you make some dishy £££ from your unwanted goods, whether you sell iPhones or refashion the most hideous Christmas jumper of the decade!

Meir Panim delivers warmth, special care to families in need.
The State of Israel welcomed 52 new citizens from the United States on Thursday who made aliyah through the organization Nefesh b'Nefesh.
Among the new arrivals is Genna Brand, who is joining ASA Tel Aviv, Israel's National Women's Soccer Champion team. Geoffrey Rogg, formerly of Great Britain and then New York, originally considered making aliyah in 1971, after a conversation with Prime Minister David Ben Gurion. Rogg, who had organized an event to raise money for Negev development in London, was invited by Ben Gurion for a visit in Sde Boker. After briefing the Prime Minister on fundraising efforts, Ben Gurion replied "Young man, all this is well and good but what really interests me is when will you make aliyah to Israel?"
To date, Nefesh B'Nefesh has assisted 29,000 olim, 97% of whom have remained in Israel.
About the Author: Malkah Fleisher is a graduate of Cardozo Law School in New York City. She is an editor/staff writer at JewishPress.com and co-hosts a weekly Israeli FM radio show. Malkah lives with her husband and two children on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem.

Featured Artist
Carol Noriega
"Sometimes I even dream that I'm crafting a design. I wake up and quickly make a sketch so I don't forget it then, later, I create the piece."
"I'm Carol Noriega Rengifo and I was born in Lima on May 4, 1975. I got my start in the world of art looking at jewelry in shop windows. I loved what I saw, and I wondered why I couldn't make my own, if others did. So I tried.
"At first, my designs were simple and I'd ask how to craft them or how to finish something. Little by little I acquired practice while I'd look for a specific detail in each piece by myself.
"I strive to transmit elegance and beauty in my jewelry so that the woman who wears it feels good about it and identifies with each piece. When I see my designs being worn, I feel so proud and happy. It's exciting to show my jewelry to my best friend and see that she likes it. This helps me and is part of what she knows of my accomplishments.
"I'd like to tell each Novica shopper that she'll feel elegant and beautiful when wearing my creations."

La Française Group has obtained AIFM approval for all its management companies.
By capitalising on its experience in the registration of UCITS funds internationally and now its AIFM status, the La Française Group is able to extend its services across Europe.
The following Group management companies have obtained AIFM approval:
- La Française AM International (LFI)
- La Française Investment Solutions LFIS
- La Française REM
- La Française des Placements
- La Française Inflection Point
- New Alpha AM
As Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) managers, the companies will be able to manage AIFs in an EU member state other than the country where they are based (management passport) and market managed AIFs to professional investors in another EU member state (marketing passport).
Patrick Rivière, CEO of La Française, says: "Our approach is part of the continuation of our international ambitions. We will now be able to offer UCITS funds as well as AIFM funds, whether these are managed by entities in the group or by its affiliates, to all European investors."

Title: Reversion of maroon bluebonnets back to blue
Answered by: Nan Hampton and Damon Waitt
QUESTION:In the fall, I bought a flat of Texas bluebonnets. They are blooming now, and it turns out they are actually maroon bluebonnets! Which is really too bad, because I want blue bluebonnets. Do you know if these maroon bluebonnets will revert back to wild-type blue over time or am I stuck with the maroon?
Your maroon bluebonnets, AKA Alamo Fire, will revert back to the wild blue type in several generations if there is a pollen source of the wild Lupinus texensis (Texas lupine) nearby. If you have the patience and time you can speed the process along by hand pollinating the maroon flowers with pollen gathered on a toothpick from wild bluebonnets. If you take this approach, you have to make sure you beat the other pollinators to the punch (by punch, I mean stigma) by catching the maroon flowers right after anthesis (the period in time when a flower is reproductively mature).
By the way, the maroon variety is the product of over twenty years of breeding and research by Dr. Jerry Parsons at, you guessed it, Texas A&M University. Click here to learn more about the Parson project.

Insurance, transport, banking sectors likely to be hit on trade unions strike
Top Stories

- Waste paper to phone use: Govt revives checklist against leaks
- 14 booked for church vandalism in Haryana, cross replaced with Hanuman idol
- Pakistan: Protesters hit the streets after blasts near Lahore churches leave 15 dead
- No arrests in Bengal nun 'rape', church attack, local Christians nervous
The country braced for a two-day nationwide strike called by 11 trade unions from tomorrow in support of their demands with banking, insurance and transport sector likely to be affected in some states.
As fresh appeals were made today to the trade unions to call of the strike, leading industry body Assocham warned that the economy would take a hit of between Rs 15,000 crore and Rs 20,000 crore due to disruption in economic activity.
The government renewed its appeal to the bank employees including from the RBI not to join the strike saying there is "really no reason" for them to go ahead with it.
Normal life is likely to be crippled in states like Kerala and Tripura where workers from various sectors including transport and banking are set to join the protest against the Centre's economic and labour policies.
States like West Bengal, Kerala, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Delhi, Haryana, Karnataka and parts of Uttar Pradesh are likely to be affected significantly, Assocham president Rajkumar Dhoot said in a statement in Kolkata. Apart from unions owing allegiance to the Left, the pro-Congress INTUC and pro-BJP BMS are also participating in the strike.
The unions have put forward a charter of 10 demands such as urgent steps to control price rise, strict enforcement of labour laws in all places of work, social security net for workers in the unorganised sector, end to disinvestment in PSUs and raising minimum wage to Rs 10,000 a month.
In Kerala, the Congress-led UDF government has declared 'dies non' (no work, no pay) as pro-Left service and teachers unions are also striking work.
The Trinammool Congress government in West Bengal also issued a circular to all its employees asking them to be present in offices failing which they would be served showcause notices.
Terming Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's threats to foil the two-day strike call as "llegal", the labour arm of CPI(M)-CITU threatened to file a case against state chief secretary Sanjoy Mitra if the state government forcefully tries to stop government workers from participating in the strike.

TSX.V Symbol: "WND"
OTCQX Symbol: "WNDEF"
Issued and Outstanding: 69,022,637
VANCOUVER, Nov. 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - Western Wind Energy Corp. - (the "Company" or "Western Wind") (TSX Venture Exchange - "WND") (OTCQX - "WNDEF") today responds to a press release issued on November 23, 2012 by Brookfield Renewable Energy Partners L.P. ("Brookfield"), which announced Brookfield's intention to make an offer to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Western Wind for cash consideration of C$2.50 per share (the "Brookfield Offer").
On July 30, 2012, the Company announced that it would be seeking a buyer for the Company and its assets, and that the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") had established a special committee (the "Special Committee"). On August 10, 2012, the Company announced that it had engaged Rothschild (Canada) Inc. ("Rothschild") as its lead financial advisor to manage and structure a comprehensive and efficient auction process, with PI Financial Corp. ("PI Financial") engaged as a co-advisor.
Several days after acquiring its interest in the Company, representatives of Brookfield visited the Company and raised the prospect of the Company entering into a bilateral agreement to sell the Company to Brookfield with customary deal protections, including the right of Brookfield to match other offers. Rather than have Brookfield potentially stifle the auction process, the Company instead invited Brookfield to join that process. Despite several attempts to accommodate their requests, Brookfield refused to sign a customary non-disclosure and standstill agreement that was entered into by other auction participants. Brookfield did not return direct calls from the Company and subsequently attended the AGM on September 25, 2012 together with members of the dissidents and their advisors.
On October 24, 2012, the Company announced that the auction process was progressing as planned, with a limited number of bidders having been invited to conduct a second round of very extensive due diligence, as well as the addition of new participants as the proxy battle caused at least 8 weeks of delay in the auction process due to the uncertainty caused by a proxy battle.
The Company would like to highlight that some of the initial expressions received from auction participants that are currently conducting due diligence in the second round of the process, would imply a value significantly greater than that which Brookfield intends to offer.
There is no guarantee that any of the initial expressions of interest received by the Company will result in a formal offer being made or a binding agreement being entered into at this time.
Consistent with its fiduciary duties and in consultation with its financial and legal advisors, the Special Committee of independent directors comprised of V. John Wardlow (Chair), Robert C. Bryce and Claus Andrup is to review the Brookfield Offer, when formally made, and make recommendations to the Board in respect of the Brookfield Offer and other alternatives available to the Company upon the conclusion of the auction process.
The Company cautions its shareholders that no action is required by Western Wind shareholders at this time. The Company is in the process of considering and evaluating the announcement, and shareholders are urged to take no action until Western Wind has issued further communication with respect to the announcement and the Brookfield Offer.
Jeff Ciachurski, CEO of Western Wind Energy states "It is my personal opinion the Brookfield offer is too low, and I am committed to obtaining a better price for the shareholders than presently offered by Brookfield vis-a-vis a thorough sales process. We are committed to a transparent, thorough and robust auction process. Rothschild has been nothing short of first class in demonstrating efficiency, integrity and professionalism. The Western Wind shareholders deserve a complete process whereby the highest bids with the greatest likelihood of execution are submitted to the shareholders. The shareholders have voted for a thorough and meaningful process that will maximize the results of the sales process. The Brookfield offer is disruptive to a thorough sales process."
Western Wind is a vertically integrated renewable energy production company that owns and operates wind and solar generation facilities with 165 net MW of rated capacity in production, in the States of California and Arizona. Western Wind further owns substantial development assets for both solar and wind energy in the U.S. The Company is headquartered in Vancouver, BC and has branch offices in Scottsdale, Arizona and Tehachapi, California. Western Wind trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "WND", and in the United States on the OTCQX under the symbol "WNDEF".
The Company owns and operates three wind energy generation facilities in California, and one fully integrated combined wind and solar energy generation facility in Arizona. The three operating wind generation facilities in California are comprised of the 120MW Windstar, the 4.5MW Windridge facilities in Tehachapi, and the 30MW Mesa wind generation facility near Palm Springs. The facility in Arizona is the Company's 10.5MW Kingman integrated solar and wind facility. The Company is further developing wind and solar energy projects in California, Arizona, and Puerto Rico.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Financial stocks closed higher on the day and week Friday along with the broader market as Hurricane Irene bore down on the East coast and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke put off economic stimulus discussions until September.
At a meeting of central bankers in Jackson Hole, Wyo., many expected at least an indication of where the Fed chairman stood on the launch of a new quantitative easing package. Bernanke had used the meeting last year to announce plans for a second round of stimulus spending that became known as QE2.
Worries mount over Chinese banks
Even as Chinese banks post strong first-half profits, concerns are growing over their exposure to local government debt and the strength of their capital bases.
Discussions, however, will be put off until an expanded two-day Federal Open Market Committee next month, he said. More on Bernanke.
The Financial Select Sector SPDR ETF XLF, -0.08% which tracks financial stocks on the S&P 500 Index SPX, -0.24% rose 0.9% and the Philadelphia KBW Bank index BKX, +0.28% which tracks the leading 24 banks, advanced 1.3% in recent activity. The indicators are up 5.3% and 7.4%, respectively, for the week.
Shares of Bank of America Corp. BAC, +0.06% which rallied this week on Warren Buffett's $5 billion investment, closed up 1.4% at $7.76, after touching a 52-week low of $6.01 earlier in the week. Shares are up 11% for the week but down 20% for the month and 42% for the year.
The other three financial stocks in the Dow industrials DJIA, -0.23% — American Express Co. AXP, -2.03% J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. JPM, -0.12% and Travelers Cos. TRV, -0.72% — also rose.
Most insurers were trading up 1% or more even as Hurricane Irene bore down on the East Coast. More on Hurricane Irene.
Leading gainers in the insurance sector were Genworth Financial Inc. GNW, -0.68% XL Group PLC XL, -0.46% AON Corp. AON, +0.08% , and Ace Ltd. ACE, -0.30% The subsector's only loser on the day was MetLife Inc. MET, +0.54% with shares closing down 0.2%.
Other leading performers on the day included Janus Capital Group Inc. JNS, -0.29% Legg Mason Inc. LM, +0.72% , Ameriprise Financial Inc. AMP, -0.20% , Charles Schwab Corp. SCHW, +1.95% T. Rowe Price Inc. TROW, -0.51% Fifth Third Bancorp FITB, +1.46% and Comerica Inc. CMA, +0.54%
The rare decliners of the day for S&P 500 financial stocks, were Morgan Stanley MS, +0.48% , Wells Fargo & Co. WFC, -0.07% , and SLM Corp. SLM, -0.66%
UBS AG UBS, +0.11% said it may start temporarily charging for deposits denominated in Swiss francs, The Wall Street Journal said in its online edition Friday. U.S. shares of UBS closed down 2.8% Friday.
UBS began alerting other banks that it may need to take "corrective action" because of the large influx of deposits in Swiss francs, according to the Journal. The Swiss franc has surged against the U.S. dollar USDCHF, +0.36% and euro EURCHF, -0.18% in recent weeks. More on UBS.
In the broader market, the Dow closed up 1.2% on the day and up 4.3% for the week; the S&P 500 Index finished up 1.5% for the day and 4.7% for the week; and the Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, -0.27% rose 2.5% for the day and advanced 5.9% for the week.

Blog: Don Julio - slamming the door on Tequila slammers?
Olly Wehring | 15 March 2007
I won't lie. I was actually quite scared yesterday evening, as I headed to the Tequila tasting. Previous experience had told me never to go near the stuff again, hence the trepidation.
Four hours and five courses of Mexican cuisine later, however, and Diageo's Reserve Brands Group team had very nearly managed to persuade me of the merits of social Tequila.
The focus of the evening was Don Julio Tequila, made from 100% mature blue agave from the Los Altos area of Mexico. The ultra premium spirit's production technique is designed to take away bitterness and make the tequila 'sippable'.
The first surprise was the menu, prepared by Mexico City chef Enrique Olvera. With no sign of fajitas of burritos, Olvera served up a host of intriguing dishes ranging from Chicharron – a bit like gourmet pork scratchings – to shrimp cappuccino.
Each course was matched with a tequila from the Don Julio range of Blanco, Reposado, Anejo, 1942 and Real. The Reposada, with a taste of chocolate and cinnamon, was my hands down favourite.
The idea of table Tequila is certainly a new one to me, but worked as a gentle reintroduction to the drink since our last run-in 15 years ago at university (I lost).
Having established José Cuervo in the UK market, Diageo is now billing Don Julio as "the new Mexican Wave". The drinks giant can draw strength from Don Julio's success with Tequila connoisseurs in Mexico and the US and could succeed in introducing the brand through trendsetters at exclusive venues in cosmopolitan cities like London.
However, its marketing team may need to throw a little salt over their proverbial shoulder before the wider consumer is prepared to ditch a slammer for glamour.

If Will Ferrell decided to publish a book, what kind of book would it be? That's what we're asking ourselves in the wake of news that Funny or Die, the humor website founded by comedians Will Ferrell and Adam McKay back in 2007, plans to launch a book publishing imprint called Funny or Die Books. While the brand's recent expansions into the worlds of film (Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie) and TV (Funny or Die Presents) make perfect sense to us, this one has us scratching our heads. Why get into the game now, when so many established publishers are downsizing, or bailing out completely? "Well, we like books, and we like reading," Mike Farah, Funny or Die's president of production told Vulture. "And we're fortunate enough to be able to expand from the engine that is currently driving us. We felt like this would be a fun and logical space to get into. But we're going to take it slowly, learning as we go." The imprint's first project, an e-book written by humorist Mike Sacks and the Pleasure Syndicate (Sex: Our Bodies, Our Junk) will debut in July; there's no word yet on when we can expect the book version of Between Two Ferns With Zach Galifianakis (which, for the record, we'd totally buy).
