Autocorrect has its uses but it can go rogue with embarrassing results - so is it time to ditch it?
Matthew J X Malady persuaded friends to message manually instead, but failed to factor in fat fingers and drunk texting
Wednesday 09 July 2014
If you use a phone to send text messages, the chances are that you've been burnt by autocorrect at some point. You've typed messages to friends or co-workers where "meeting" morphed into "mating," or the phone changed "Trish" to "trash" without you noticing – making you appear ridiculous, incompetent, or drunk. We've all been there.
A quick look at Twitter on a few recent weekday afternoons showed that someone tweets "stupid autocorrect" or "fucking autocorrect" approximately once every 65 seconds. And seemingly everyone has a story about bizarre or problematic "corrections" – "arguments" becoming "argue menus," "hiney" taking the place of "honey," and so on. The iPhone transforms "Steve Buscemi" into "Steve bus emu." And autocorrect loves changing sentences to include "ducking." It's the ducking worst!
All phone models are different, and "autocorrect" has become shorthand for several distinct functions. But when we bemoan these messaging misadventures we're most commonly referring to a mobile feature formally known as "autocorrection," "word prediction," or some similar title, depending on the make and model of your phone.
My phone, an HTC One, is, as far as I can tell, especially awful when it comes to stupid autocorrections. A few weeks ago, after sending some garbled thing to my wife about "alligator helmets," I reached a turning point. The un-autocorrected texts I sent in the past from a different, less-smart phone sometimes included spelling mistakes and punctuation snafus, but they were nonetheless comprehensible. Perhaps, on a particularly harried day, I wrote, say, "Im heading ou now. Should be ther in half hour." Those sorts of mistakes were not communication deal breakers. But with autocorrect, that's not always the case. I recently asked someone if he was having a good time on holiday by texting "arm you having funk?" My phone's autocorrect seemed to be doing more harm than good. I'd had enough.
But if I was going to propose that we kill autocorrect, I wanted to be responsible about it. If we all turned it off for good, I asked myself, what would we be forsaking? For starters, we'd lose the opportunity to make all sorts of clever jokes to our friends about autocorrect-related texting mix-ups. That would be a bummer. We also wouldn't be able to use the function as a way to escape accountability for weird spelling mistakes or embarrassing typos. And it does at least appear to help us type faster on our tiny keyboards. Was I overreacting? Maybe my phone is unusually terrible? What if some people actually like autocorrect?
With all that in mind, I decided to run a test. I asked some friends and family members to participate in a one-week experiment involving life without our mobile phone autocorrect. Work colleagues took part as well. Altogether, eight of us switched off the autocorrect function and proceeded to write and send messages without it. No one ran into any major issues working out how to turn off autocorrect, and we left the spellcheck on, so we'd still be able to see spelling errors and correct them manually if we so desired.
Raring to go, I sent my first post-autocorrect text to my wife informing her of the experiment. It took a tad longer than normal, and I mistyped a few words on my initial pass, but the phone underlined those errors in red, and I quickly fixed them. In her texted response, my wife noted that her phone mistakenly tried to change some of the words that she included in her message. Much to my delight, she said that she, too, had an F-word-level enmity for her phone's autocorrect function. She happily agreed to partake in the test as well. Things were off to a flying start!
That was on a Wednesday. My wife works in healthcare, and she sends a lot of text messages – most of which are work related, and some of which are pretty important. On Thursday afternoon, I received the following text from her: "This friggin experiment of yours with the deactivating autofill/correct is the worse. It's literally adding significant tome to my getting emails and texts out. As you cam see, I'm not bothering to correct words, after multiple tries."
'After sending a garbled text to my wife about 'alligator helmets', I reached a turning point. I'd had enough' (Alamy)
Around the same time, I began hearing some grumbling from other participants. "Already thinking that i prefer it the other way," a friend texted me that night. Another person seemed to foreshadow the possibility of an abrupt pullout: "Soooo i don't think im liking NOT having autocorrect on... I'll see how long i can last."
I began to worry that the experiment would collapse. But I'm happy to report that everyone made it through the week without reverting to autocorrect. As part of a post-experiment follow-up, all participants stated that the test period presented them with more than enough time to fully comprehend the differences between texting one way as opposed to the other. And when it was all over, a majority confessed to being surprised – in one way or another – about what they had learnt.
One friend assumed texting would go more smoothly without autocorrect inserting weird mistakes. Almost immediately, he came to realise otherwise. "I found that I missed all the 'correct' autocorrect functionality," he says. "I have fat fingers and always struggle with typing accurately on my phone keyboard, so I had to do a lot more deleting and retyping." Typing contractions, he adds, was unusually annoying. "Without autocorrect, I had to switch keyboard views to manually type the apostrophe, and then switch back to continue with the next letter. It was a big pain. After a few days, I gave up on trying to correctly type words with apostrophes, and sent a bunch of texts with 'Im,' 'cant,' and 'dont' in them." Three others mentioned being annoyed by the same issue.
For many participants, messages took longer to type, senders had to go back and address errors more often, and the process just seemed more cumbersome overall. Several people said they felt as though they had to pay much closer attention while texting in order to send non-garbled messages. My colleague Alison noted that she would've gone back to autocorrect after just one day, but for the experiment. "There were probably certain autocorrect mistakes I didn't miss while it was off, but I think they were few and far between compared to the number of times I've manually capitalised and contracted words, not to mention fixed my own typos," she says. "An experiment like this really makes you appreciate autocorrect."
But not everyone was pining for a return to auto-assisted texting. Another workmate, Jane Hu, while confessing that she did miss her phone's propensity to change her mother-in-law's name from "Patty" to "party," noted that, overall, life without autocorrect wasn't so bad. "I think I over-estimated how much I actually rely on autocorrect to complete or correct words for me," she says. "I was surprised to find that I ended up going back to change words in my texts less than I did with autocorrect on." (Hu did add that things may be a bit different after a few drinks: "I'm guessing autocorrect is pretty vital to drunk texting.")
As for me? I'm with Jane. I loved the new approach to texting. I appreciated that, instead of my phone dropping out-of-context words into my messages without me realising it, the device just showed me my spelling mistakes and let me decide whether to fix them. Sometimes I did, and sometimes I didn't, depending on the recipient. I felt much more secure in knowing that what I typed and sent was actually what I meant. And while it did take a bit longer to compose messages, the difference was not so great that it became a huge burden. (As an ancillary experiment, I typed identical 15-word texts several times using each method. On average, the non-autocorrect version took three seconds longer to produce an error-free message, but I didn't have to worry about any weird, surreptitious word replacements. For a 100-word text, the difference was eight seconds. Still not bad, though if your job demands superfast texts then maybe it's significant.)
Whether moving away from autocorrect is the right move for you will depend on how adept you are at using very small keys to type, how wonky your phone's autocorrect function is, whether you text in the traditional way or use the Swype method, how fast-paced your life and job are – and a host of other factors, including how often you find yourself intoxicated or overly tired.
If you don't mind fixing typos manually – or if spelling and punctuation errors that still allow for basic comprehension just don't bother you – and you hate accidentally sending messages to your boss asking if she's ready for the "mating with clients", then you might want to give life without autocorrect a shot. I know I will never go back to the old way. I'm happy to captain Team Kill Autocorrect.

If you're like many people, you might find it difficult to keep your
garage organized and looking tidy. Whereas a garage once served only as
a place to park a car, today's garages are much more multi-functional,
providing extra storage or workshop space. At Bay Home & Window, we
specialize in creating custom home organization systems in the Bay Area.
In addition to getting rid of old or unnecessary items taking up valuable
space, we suggest adding a built-in closet or organizational system. Systems
like these can do wonders to transforming your garage into a usable and
aesthetically pleasing space.
It's common for people to have so much clutter in their garage that
they do not have space to park their car. Let us help you find a better
alternative by creating a beautiful functional space in your home garage.
For more information about our
garage solutions, call Bay Home & Window at (888) 766-5919. We offer competitive prices
and free design consultations.
At Bay Home & Window, we specialize in supplying beautiful plantation
shutters to the San Francisco Bay Area. Plantation shutters are custom-fit
window coverings that attach directly to the window frame. We are proud
to offer four beautiful and high-performance material options to choose from.
WindWood™ plantation shutters are made of commercial grade materials
and are perfect for large openings and high traffic environments. The
PolyTherm-R™ is a non-wood shutter with a beautiful natural appearance
that is rigid enough for large openings and heavy use. Sun Wood™
plantation shutters have an outstanding price point and are available
in many beautiful stains and colors. And lastly, WoodCore™ plantation
shutters are made of a strong reinforced-core vinyl and are excellent
for wide windows.
At Bay Home & Window, we have been offering Bay Area residents free
design consultations, competitive price points, and free shutter installation
for two decades. To learn more about our
plantation shutter options, give us a call at (800) 701-4555.
If you're like many people, you might find it difficult to keep your
home organized. However, creating a functional space doesn't have
to be as challenging as you might think. At
Bay Home & Window, we want to help you achieve your home organizing goals this year. Check
out these tips for achieving a practical and organized home.
Find a Place for Everything
In the most functional of homes, everything has a place. This means that
specific areas are dedicated for particular items. For example, a simple
key rack placed by the front door can eliminate the frustration of constantly
misplacing your car keys. Other ideas are to always keep shoes in pairs
by the front door and to designate a basket for winter hats and gloves.
Keep Flat Surfaces Clean and Functional
One of the most common organizational issues involves the over-cluttering
of flat surfaces such as tables, desks, and nightstands. This creates
a busy and disorganized feel to your home, and can add to your frustration
when you can't find a flat surface to write a letter or pay a bill.
Allowing your flat surfaces to pile high with mail or other items can
create a domino effect of clutter, causing your valiant organizational
efforts to be forgotten all together.
Organize Your Office
The home office is essential for storing technology and organizing important
paperwork. Unfortunately, this space can quickly become cluttered and
unusable. Because it's important to maintain enough clear desk space
to work, it's best to keep papers stored in file cabinets or in
drawers below your desk. You might also consider investing in a system to
keep your cords from tangling.
Make Use of Hidden Storage
Your bed is often one of the most over-looked storage opportunities. If
your bed frame is at least a foot above the floor, it's a great
idea to invest in rolling storage bins that fit nicely in the space beneath
your mattress. This is a perfect space to store out-of-season clothing
or items that do not get used often.
At Bay Home & Window, we assist Bay area residents in achieving organized
homes. Our home organization systems, built-in furniture, and
home office systems are both practical and beautiful. Call us at (925) 264-6751 for more information
about our services.
When you are organizing a closet for a child, there are some important
things to keep in mind. Most importantly, you will want to organize the
space based on your child's height. Even the most beautiful built-in
shelving unit won't be of use if your child cannot reach the items
on the shelves. In addition to investing in a closet unit that promotes
easy organization, it's also important to remove any clothes or
shoes that your child does not wear. Getting rid of unused items is a
great way to save space and to keep the focus on the essential items.
Check out this video for more tips on how to create a child-friendly custom closet.
Bay Home & Window, we specialize in creating custom closet systems. Give us a call at (925)
264-6751 for more information about our home organization systems, custom
closets, and built-in furniture options.
If you're considering revamping your closet space, there are a few
options to consider. At Bay Home & Window, we understand the importance
of finding the
perfect organizational system for you. Here's an overview of the most popular types of closets
available today:
Reach-In Closets
These types of closets are perfect for hallways, bathrooms, and rooms that
are smaller in size. They are typically limited in square footage and
feature a bar for storing clothes on hangers. These days, there are many
organizational products that can help maximize the practicality and capacity
of a standard reach-in closet. Some examples are stacking cube organizers,
drawer units, and organizational units for shoes or ties that hang over the door.
Walk-In Closets
There are many size and design options for
walk-in closets. Walk-in closets can be outfitted with hanging bars, drawers, or even
seating and mirror options. Before you build, it's important to
consider the function that your walk-in closet will provide. Some people
use their walk-in closets to store a variety of items, including extra
bedding, laundry baskets, or children's toys, while others use their
walk-in closets exclusively for clothing and maybe even as a dressing room.
Armoires and Wardrobes
If you're not ready to construct a brand new closet, a wardrobe or
armoire might be right for you. In a room with underutilized corner space,
wardrobes can be designed to fit within that space. Armoires are free-standing
closets that are perfect for children's clothing. A big bonus for
armoires is that they are incredibly easy to customize in order to match
the style of your room. A vintage armoire provides a warm old-world feel
and a modern armoire can give a stylish minimalist look to any space.
Bay Home & Window, we want to help you build the closet of your dreams. Our talented professionals
specialize in home organization systems and custom closet design. If you're
ready to begin discussing your closet options, give us a call at (925) 264-6751.

Is Operation Streamline Worth Its Budget Being Tripled?

The Senate immigration bill calls for tripling a controversial federal court program called Operation Streamline. The program takes people caught crossing the border illegally, gives them prison sentences, then deports them. It's hugely expensive — but does it work?

Actually we left much poorer, thanks to having to spend time getting an axle replaced and then driving over an hour away (after having dined on some Basque food actually in the Martin Hotel) and remembering about 6:30 pm, we left something highly valuable behind in the rent car. If it hadn't been for one young mechanic working late at the car dealership that was doubling as a rental car place, who was both skilled and unafraid to jimmy the car door open on the rental car so we could retrieve what we had forgotten. As it was, it cost $600+ on the car repairs, which we actually thought was quite reasonable considering the work they did and the fact that they had to expedite the right part out of Salt Lake City.
this is what I felt like doing to my mazda mx6:))))))
Oh, amazing!!!! I have shots taken in the same vein: I adore finding these old guys out there in the middle of absolutely nowhere: you named yours retired, I called mine 'retirement'..LOL.. some amazing synchronicity!! :)

Theme for Lent: "The Blessing of New Beginnings"
For the next five weeks of our Lenten Study, we will study the lives of five individuals who had a new beginning after their encounter with Jesus.
1) The Samaritan Woman (John 4:1-42), who was living without hope.
2) The man at the pool (John 5:1-16), who was living with excuses.
3) Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-10), who was living a life of dishonesty.
4) The woman with the issue of blood (Mark 5: 25-35), who was living with a serious illness.
5) Saul/Paul (Acts 9:1-22), who was living a life of hatred.
Each of these individuals had a new beginning after their personal encounter with Jesus. We can also have a "new beginning" with the renewal of our hearts and minds.

Scripture: Matthew 21:1-11

Four Norwegian Dances
By Edvard Grieg
- Instrument:
- Ensemble:
- Format:
Four Norwegian Dances composed by Edvard Grieg (1843-1907). Arranged by Robert Rainford. For Flute Choir (piccolo, optional G treble flute, 4 flutes, alto flute, bass flute, optional contr'alto, optional contrabass and very optional subcontrabass). Grade 3. Score and parts. Published by Forton Music (FT.FM122).
Flute Choir Ensemble - Piccolo, optional G treble, 4 flutes, alto flute, bass flute, optional contr'alto, optional contrabass and very optional subcontrabass. Composed in 1880 for piano duet, these four charming dances make a delightful addition to any concert. In four movements, the first and last of which are more extended compositions featuring varied tempi and moods; fast semiquaver sections alternating with slower sections of lush harmony. The fourth movement in particular gets faster and faster ending with an exciting Prestissimo section. The second and third movements are simpler, but no less attractive. This is scored for a large flute choir - piccolo, four flutes, alto and bass flutes, with optional extra parts for G treble, contrabass, contra-alto and even sub contrabass flutes. All instruments have interesting but playable parts - flute 1 goes up to top A while flute 4 is about grade 3 standard.

Did A Few Bare Rooting Of Trees Today...
Hello Everyone!!
My mother picked a few Adeniums up and wanted me to bareroot and pot up in Gritty for her.
I know I have shared this with you all before, but I thought as I was in the process, I would take a few pics for you guys !!
Here is a tree that needs repotting..
Sorry I have to add pics like this.. Photobucket isn't working well for me lately..
This post was edited by loveplants2 on Sat, Sep 14, 13 at 14:27
The final three trees watered and will be moved to the shade to acclimate themselves. I will bring them out into the full sun in a week or so.
Wanted to show some who have never tried to bareroot. It is very easy and these trees are very tough...
Hope you all are having a great holiday!!
Take care,
This post was edited by loveplants2 on Sat, Sep 14, 13 at 14:42
That is very kind of you to do this for your mother. Is she just as addicted to these as you are or are you hoping to convert her.
Nice plants and good choices for interesting caudex's.
Good to post repeat of potting up. Will catch someone that does not look back or is unable.
Hi Everyone!!!
Hi Kirk!!
Thank you... I will admit, I was with her when we picked them out. I picked them because of the " unique " caudexs!!! She will end up with one and I will keep the one that looks like the muscle man!!! It has a nice color to the bloom!!! The other one will go to my sister in law since she spotted my large DR with the ball shaped belly. Se asked if she could have that one!! I gasped and said.. " that's like giving away one of my kids..." LOL!!! So I had to find her one quickly... ;-)
Hi Rick!!! Thank you!! ... Mom loves these as well as my Plumeria, but doesn't have the space for them in her condo. She has a small terrace so she is limited. That is why I wanted to find her one that looks interesting...
I really appreciate you addressing the thread as far as helping others with the barerooting process . We all remember when we were new and I just wanted to show how easy it is. We all worry when we don't have something to actually see. I hope this helps someone!!!!
Hi Mark!! Thank You!!! I also thought each one had a different look!! Lol. I had to chuckle at one of them... I can't remember the character either, but I can see what you are talking about!!!
Nicole... If you are reading this, I will be working on one to go along with your other pic that you sent to me!!! LMMAO!!! I plan to send you a pic soon!!!
I was just showing the pic of the " couple" to one of my friends.. They loved it!!! ;-)
Hi Marie!! Mahalo!! All of my trees are in the Gritty Mix and they love it. Everyone has a different opinion, but a good fast draining mix makes a healthy tree!!!
YOU have some real beauties!
Hi Chuy!! They really are impressive with their root structure and all have different characteristics !! They seem to have their own personalities, like my girl with " junk in her trunk". LOL. Plus, they are easy to take care of too! That makes it so much fun!!!!
Thanks.. I always like to help out people.. I had some real nice people help me when I first started. So I like to " pay it forward..."
Always nice to see you !!!
Have a great day!!!
This post was edited by loveplants2 on Sat, Sep 14, 13 at 14:43
This is the one my sister in law wanted.. I thought I was going to choke when she asked.. The funny part was.. She was serious!!!!
Take care,
This post was edited by loveplants2 on Mon, Sep 16, 13 at 10:53
Your plants are gorgeous and the step by step photos provide a wonderful education for those that are beginning and wondering how they should pot up their adeniums.
I would have choked too if someone asked me for a beautiful adenium like yours.
The caudex on the newly purchased plants ARE gorgeous. That is the first thing I would look for too and bloom color would be my second option.
Great finds!
Hi Haworthia!!!
Thank you so much!!! I love to grow these beauties!!! The have so much personality!!! Hope to see you soon!!! I repotted the others for you...
Hi Paula!!! Thank you!! I bought these at the Home Depot in Virginia Beach.
The other day, in NC. I found some on the sale rack for 7 dollars.. I bought a couple to replace the ones that I'm giving to my sister in law. Lol. I'm keeping the " little man" and the other that looks like a mass of twisted roots...
You can jump off the balcony anytime you want!!! ;-)
I can rept them fast and they will never know.. Lol. I have grown to like the Caudex on those three. Lol. I'm so bad... ;-)
Hi Kirk!! I couldn't believe she really wanted that one.. I thought she was kidding, but she wasn't lol. When she comes over, I might have to hide it!!!
It reminds me of a BB or one of the Mandrakes from Harry Potter.. One member named him that!!!
Hi Lady.. Lol. I hear you!! I have grown to love them too.. That is why I found the others to replace them to give away... ;-). Like I mentioned to Kirk.. I will have to keep an eye on her when she visits!!! Check her trunk!!
Hi Love the yard.. Thank you for the pointers.. This iPad is different and I will play with it to make sure I have it down. I understand what you mean, but I don't trust it yet to post. I'm out on a trip, so when I get home.. I'll try again!!
Rick.. I also repotted some of yours.. I'll get them out soon!!! ;-)
Take care everyone!!
Laura how funny. My friend had a birthday recently and HD had some great adeniums. I picked her up one almost 2 weeks before her bday. I looked at it every time I went in and out the front door. 3 plants later I finally gave her the one I got on the way to her house. I love birthdays! Paula
Hello Everyone..
I wanted to finally fix these pics that were causing so many neck issues!!
Lol.. So, sorry!!!
This iPad makes anything look good when you take a pic, then when you view it from cell or other computer.. Yikes!!!
Love the yard... It is the camera position in the upper top left!! ;-)
Tried it out and went and tested with this iPad and then looked on cell.
What a pain in the XXX. ;-). But, at least I won't cause you all to take meds for all of the sore necks !!!
Thanks for being so understanding.. If it wasn't for a few who told me, I would have never known.
Have a great day...
Thank you!!! The big boys are Noids.. ( no ids. No names) I don't have any names for my big plants.. The other ones from Thailand and Taiwan are named varieties.
All of my trees were bought when they were not blooming. The typical ones we find locally ( pink) were bought here at Lowes and or Home Depot . ( Noids)
My other colored trees came from Thailand and Taiwan... We try and pick the colors that are supposed to be true, but sometimes you get a surprise.
I have been lucky with my orders from other countries. They have been true to color and very healthy.
Thank you for the kind compliments... That big boy is about 15 -20 years old.
Have a great night!!

Great info! Thanks!
I will definitely look at my DR differently now. I've had one for a few years but my caudex is just plain. I bought it at Lowe's or HD one year because I thought the flowers were pretty. Maybe it's still a baby? The caudex ooks a little tad bigger than the main trunk.
Great advice, Heather..
Camellia... I see you are in a zone 7... Repotting can be done if you want, but I would probably wait until spring. You can always peek and see.. I'm sure the rootball will slip right out. Take a look and see!! ;-). If you feel comfortable, you could take some of the upper soil off instead of a bareroot at this time of the year and raise the Caudex.
I'm in a zone 8 and I'm getting ready to receive some barerooted DR's. so it is possible to do a full bareroot. But , only if you are comfortable!!!
Let us know what you find.. I love those surprises!!!
Glad you enjoyed the pics...
Take care,
Thanks Laura and Heather! I was wondering if I should do that and thought I should wait for spring, too.
I went looking for the supplies for the gritty mix yesterday and was so excited to find Turface about 40 miles from me. I have all but the gypsum and bark. So, I figured that I would wait until spring to be safe while I look for bark.
Laura, is your sifter working well for you? I believe I read that it should be a little smaller. I found your colander and wanted to make sure before buying it.

We are seeing clear evidence from research that more educated nurses result in better outcomes for patients.1 Here at Upper Iowa University, we want to help RNs obtain the additional education they want and need to function in the health care environments of today.
At UIU, the student's education is student-centered and engages students as active participants in the learning process. The program is designed to be flexible to prepare nurses for leadership at the bedside or in management, to lay the foundation for graduate education if desired and to maintain the high quality training offered at Upper Iowa University since 1857. We hope you'll join us and let us help you reach your goals in nursing.

You are here:
A two-part cross-disciplinary exploration of the latest research, technical solutions and project examples on the contemporary use of trees in streets and the wider public realm.
The sessions will draw from the content of the Trees and Design Action Group latest publication: Trees in Hard Landscapes: A Guide for Delivery (2014, 160pp). Those that attend the seminar will receive a professionally printed and bound hardcopy.
The events are half day seminars held on the afternoons of Monday 23 and Monday 30 March at The Building Centre and organised by the Landscape Institute, Trees and Design Action Group and The Building Centre.
Those interested in booking both events, are eligible for a discount if booked together.
Event 1: Design strategies for value
2 pm, Monday 23 March
Built environment experts and arboriculturists will cross-examine the latest research findings, available tools and project examples on designing with trees to achieve enhanced value. Their exploration will also look at the changing landscape of infrastructure funding, and the funding opportunities accessible when better alignment can be achieved between use of trees and project objectives.
Speakers include: Rupert Bentley-Wells, Arboricultural Manager, LB Hackney; Anne Jaluzot, Green infrastructure planning consultant, lead author of Trees in Hard Landscapes: A Guide for Delivery (2014); Stephen O'Malley, Director, Civic Engineers; Keith Sacre, Sales Director, Barcham Trees and lead author of BS 8545:2014 Trees: from nursery to independence in the landscape - Recommendations. Chaired by Robert Huxford, Director Urban Design Group and Member of the ICE Municipal Engineers Expert Panel
Cost: £135 + VAT per person
Event 2: Delivery solutions for success
2 pm, Monday 30 March
The underground space in our cities is intensely contested and the one way forward, which will also address climate change challenges, is to better integrate planning, design and delivery of the underworld to include trees (green) as well as grey and blue infrastructure. To achieve this, making the most of both available below-ground solutions and the delivery framework provided by the planning system are key. This session brings together built environment experts and arboriculturists to examine how we can turn visions of a tree-rich 'working' city landscape into reality.
Speaker include: Jeremy Barrell, Managing Director of Barrell Consulting; Anne Jaluzot, Green infrastructure planning consultant, lead author of Trees in Hard Landscapes: A Guide for Delivery (2014); Martin Gammie, Founding Director of Consulting with Trees; David Finch, Senior Associate of Grant Associates. Chaired by Sue Illman, Director Illman-Young and Past President Landscape Institute
Cost: £135 + VAT per person

I always like to see children in plaid jumpers and school outfits. Here they are waling back home for lunch time.
Aberlour (Scottish Gaelic: Obar Lobhair, is the name of a place in Moray, Scotland, 12 miles south of Elgin on the road to Grantown. A burn (stream), a tributary of the River Spey, and surrounding parish, are both named Aberlour, but the name is most commonly used in reference to the village which straddles the stream and flanks the Spey – although the full name of the village is Charlestown of Aberlour. ref: Wikipedia

Achievable Error Exponents in the Gaussian Channel With Rate-Limited Feedback
Free registration required
Executive Summary
The authors investigate the achievable error probability in communication over an AWGN discrete time memoryless channel with noiseless delay-less rate-limited feedback. For the case where the feedback rate RFB is lower than the data rate R transmitted over the forward channel, they show that the decay of the probability of error is at most exponential in block-length, and obtain an upper bound for increase in the error exponent due to feedback. Furthermore, they show that the use of feedback in this case results in an error exponent that is at least RFB higher than the error exponent in the absence of feedback.

I've reached the point in a project where it makes more sense to start building some support classes for vectors and misc trigonometry than keep using ad-hoc functions. I expect there to be many C++ libraries for this, but I don't want to sacrifice speed and features I am used to.
Specifically, I want to be able to use integer angles, and I want to keep the blazing speed afforded by approximations like this:
static inline int32_t sin_approx(int32_t angle)
//Angle is -32768 to 32767: Return -32768 to 32767
return (angle<<1) - ((angle*abs(angle))>>14);
So, before I needlessly roll my own, are there any really fast fixed point libraries for c++ with template classes such as vectors where I can specify the width of the integer used and that has fast approximations such as the one above that I should look at?

Essays on Literary Trivia
By Dubravka Ugresic; Celia Hawkesworth (Translator); Damion Searles (Translator)
(Dalkey Archive Press, Paperback, 9781564782984, 221pp.)
Publication Date: November 2003
Shop Local
Enter your zip code below to find indies closest to you.
In this collection of acerbic essays, Ugresic dissects the nature of the contemporary book industry, which she argues is so infected with the need to create and promote literature that will appeal to the masses--literally to everyone--that if Thomas Mann were writing nowadays, his books wouldn't even be published in the U.S. because they're not sexy enough.
A playful and biting critique, Ugresic's essays hit on all of the major aspects of publishing: agents, subagents, and scouts, supermarket-like bookstores, Joan Collins, book fairs that have little to do with books, authors promoted because of sex appeal instead of merit, and editors trying to look like writers by having their photograph taken against a background of bookshelves.
Thanks to cultural influences such as Oprah, "The Today Show," and Kelly Ripa, best-seller lists have become just a modern form of socialist realism, a manifestation of a society that generally ignores literature in favor of the next big thing.

Ugh, lighting mess in kitchen... need help/ideas
We removed our huge flourescent light and replaced it with two track lights. We wanted something warm to bring out the color of the wood and paint, but now everything is a little too yellow. The yellow-ness we can live with, what we can't is the fact that there are shadows EVERYWHERE. And that the kitchen constantly looks like it's night - regardless of the time of day!
Kitchen with flourescent lighting
Kitchen with two track lights
The picture doesn't do the lighting justice - it's pretty bad! We don't know where to go from here. Should we add recessed lighting to complement the track lights? 4 or 6 cans? I think 4 would be enough as it's a small kitchen, but will it overcome the intense shadowing/darkness?
I believe recessed lighting will require us to have a new electrical box installed and a new switch because the two that work in the kitchen are being used by the two track lights.
We can also get undercabinet lighting, but don't know if that will be enough to combat the shadowing/darkness if we don't get recessed lighting installed.
Any help is appreciated! We genuinely are baffled as to where to go next.
The quick fix would be to try higher output bulbs.
The better solution would be to estimate the total amount of light required say 35 lumens per sq ft and multiplying it by the area of the kitchen. Eg- 35 x 10 x 12 = 4200.
Assuming all recessed and a light output per lamp of 600 lumens the total required is 7.
Assuming t8 fluorescent and ~2500 lumens output per tube (down-rated), you need a 2 tube troffer/ fixture.
I don't know what kind of lights you can add, or where to put them really, but I do know that you won't need to add another switch to control them. Just tie into the existing power from the overhead lighting, allowing all the light to be controlled by just one switch.
Thanks for the advice bsspewer and davidtay! The track fixture says that it can take 50w (max) bulbs, which are already in there. They are halogen and we can switch them to LED, but I don't think that would help much, and at ~$25 per light, it might just be more economical to go the recessed lighting route.
The kitchen is roughly 9 x 10, so 3150 lumens would be required. Right now we have 8 50w halogen bulbs. I think they're flood lights. Am I correct in assuming that technically we do have enough lumens to light the space we have, it's just that the lighting source is creating weird shadows/darkness? Will 4 recessed lights combat that problem?
There might be enough lighting currently, depending on the installed lights (PAR or ?).
The decision on having a second switch depends on how you would like to control the lights.
4 recessed cans may not necessarily resolve the issue. Traditional recessed cans take PAR type lights which will produce light cones. Standard A lamp or CFL bulbs in recessed cans don't do well either as the cans trap light and produce quite a bit of glare.
The LED retrofit modules (eg - Cree LR6, CR6) are much better - no glare and less light trapped.
I would re-think the lighting plan first before putting in cans to make sure that nothing looks strange.
Possibilities (assuming that surface mounted t8 fixtures have been ruled out)
1. All recessed cans
2. Cove lighting + recessed cans
3. Suspended central fixture + some cans
There might be enough lighting currently, depending on the installed lights (PAR or ?).
I don't understand what this means...?
We would ideally like to keep the two fixtures mounted already. The idea would be to put 4 cans (roughly in the corners, but spaced to account for lighting/cabinets/counters). Or we can remove the middle light and make it 5 cans.
I guess the cheapest option would be to go back to the fluorescent tubes we had before in the center. Aesthetically, this is our least favorite option.
Btw, thanks for all your help - I really appreciate it!
Lights come in different sizes. For halogen track they're typically PAR30, PAR20, PAR38, etc. It's the size of the bulb and can affect lighting characteristics.
Halogens, even in a flood bulb still has a fairly direct lighting characteristics. David's recommendations of switching to LED would probably help a bit. If LED's aren't in your budget you can try incandescent bulbs (California title 24 restrictions?) as they can provide less harsh shadows. It might be worth a try (and return if it doesn't work out).
If you're going to try recessed you'll probably want to make an aerial diagram. You'll also need to think about access and studs as they'll play a heavy role in where you can place them.
Under cabinet lighting can help with shadows on the counter top areas.
I think the initial suggestions of everyone are based on one assumption: that you will have more sources of light.
They will be closer to the counters and walls. You put strong light in the middle of your ceiling. Can you move it over
New fluorescent tubes can produce good light these days. Nobody knows what you had before. T12, T8, T5, etc. (Web search these terms + fluorescent, before asking what they are).
I have no clue what kind of fluorescent we had before, unfortunately. We tossed everything when we put in the new lights. All I know is that there were two fluorescent tubes within the fixture.
We can afford LEDs, but at ~$25 x 8, it is going to be roughly $200. Is it worth it to switch out to LEDs or would it be more practical to add new lights (recessed or otherwise)?
Sorry about this, I can't figure out what kind of PAR light mine is even after googling a bit. I took pictures, hopefully it's identifiable:
You need a lighting plan for your kitchen. Most people don't think much about lighting. I know I never did.
check out this GE website.
Here is a link that might be useful: ge lighting
Best solution would be Recessed lighting. 4" Cans would look really nice in the space you have in your kitchen. You can use LED or standard incandescent. LED is great since the energy savings are huge, and no maintenance. I have used LED in many rebuilds, and I love USAlight.com brand LED recessed.
Here is a link that might be useful: 4
Those are MR16 GU10 base lights that are more commonly used for highlighting pieces of art and not general lighting.
Before you run out to purchase something, think through the plan.
Points/ Suggestions
The internal structures in your ceiling will have an impact on the feasibility of recessed lighting.
4" cans will not produce as much light as 6" cans and potentially cost more.
For 6" cans using Sylvania RT6 or Cree LR6/ CR6, you can get by with 5 - 6.
Modern T8 type box lights/ troffers are not all that bad unless you have a requirement to not have anything on the ceiling.
If you do want to consider troffers, you might want to look at the CREE CR24 series - look different.
I know I have said this a lot, but thank you for all your help. The GE link is very helpful. I did go to the store today to look at lighting options. I definitely like the look of the Cree LED lights.
Can I swap the current lights for something that will provide more light but that is not as expensive as LEDs?
As far as internal structures, we live in a condo and other units have installed recessed lighting. I don't know much about what they have and where it's placed, but I do know that it is possible.
I agree that I need to really sit down and figure out how the lights are going to work. Blindly (har har) going into this obviously is not working!
Unfortunately, the choices are rather limited for GU10 base lights.
The cheapest option right now is to install a surface mount T8 fluorescent fixture.
However, if in the event that it is possible to fit recessed lights into the budget and still desirable to do
1. Would it be possible to copy another unit's recessed lighting layout?
2. Recessed light install costs per can run ~ $100 or so, depending on your location.
3. If you're subject to energy efficiency laws such as title 24, your options are limited to either CFL cans or cans with the GU24 base instead of the E26 (edison base). The LED module must be energy star qualified which rules out a large number of LED modules.
4. CFL can with the integrated ballast + bulb + trim costs ~ the same as a LED lamp + can.
5. Right now energy star qualified LED modules (e.g. - LR6/ CR6) outperform CFL, LED A lamps and incandescent bulbs in recessed cans.
6. The Cree modules (CR6/LR6) are dimmable.
This is in the Kitchen forum
Here is a link that might be useful: Lots of information in your Other thread about this.
davidtay - 1. Possibly. I will go and ask the other units if I can see their lighting layout.
6. If we go the recessed lighting route, most likely we are going to use the Cree lights. They had a display at the store I went to and I liked the look, light output, and dimming ability.
Thanks for all your help!

'Seinfeld' Reunion: Jerry Seinfeld Spills Details About 'Secret Project'
The comedian says that Larry David and multiple "Seinfeld" characters were involved in the filming of the project, which fans will get to see "very, very soon."
So what were Jerry Seinfeld and Jason Alexander doing outside Tom's Restaurant, anyway?
Seinfeld isn't saying exactly what the top-secret project is all about, but in an interview on WFAN-TV's Boomer & Carton show on Thursday, he did give away a few more details.
VIDEO: Jerry Seinfeld Imagines What a 'Seinfeld' Reunion Would Look Like
Tom's Restaurant, of course, was used as the exterior of the fictional Monk's Cafe, frequented by Jerry, George (Alexander), Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) and Kramer (Michael Richards) in their 1989-98 hit series, Seinfeld. When an image of Seinfeld and Alexander together hit the Internet earlier this month, fans of the long-running show were abuzz with speculation about some sort of reunion. Reports also surfaced that it could be for a Super Bowl commercial of for an episode of Seinfeld's web series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.
Seinfeld said Thursday that it was neither -- adding, "But, it is not not those things, either. It's a secret project."
He added: "I gave you more now than I've given anyone. I told you what it isn't, and then I also told you that it isn't not that either."
PHOTOS: Exclusive Portraits of Emmy Icons Tina Fey, Jerry Seinfeld and Bryan Cranston
Seinfeld did say that it was filmed and that other Seinfeld characters were involved, confirming that Alexander is playing George. Asked if Alexander was surprised to get the call, Seinfeld quipped: "No, he remembers that he played that character for many years. He was not surprised that he was asked to play George."
Larry David, who co-created and executive produced Seinfeld, also was involved in the "short-ish form" project, though not on camera (nor was his voice; David voiced several roles in the series, most memorably that of late Yankees owner George Steinbrenner). Other locations also were used, but those didn't include Jerry's apartment.
Seinfeld added that while this is a "one-and-done" project, fans will get to see it "very, very soon."

Paint the vaulted ceiling?
We are building the Frank Betz Summerlake plan. My plan is to have stained beams in the vault that will match the handscraped floors. I am thinking of painting to the side walls a greige color and the fireplace wall Benjamin Moore Azores....do we leave the vaulted ceiling white?? I have no idea what to do. Please post pics or ideas if you have them.
I put my pics of painted the vault on my post on this forum. We started out with mildly gray colors that looked white when I tried them out. Back to the store!
Try them out see what you think. It really helped us decide in advance of teh painter coming.
LMK if it helps. I labelled each pic as to the colors. We did the fireplace wall 1 color darker on the paint strip to go better with the stone. you can't even tell.
look for post by cheerpeople near the top.
