Every year, the International Science and Engineering Visualization Challenge seeks to find the most visually striking scientific art and design. It's just announced the 2012 winners—and there are some amazing sights to be seen.
The first prize for an illustration went to Emmett McQuinn et al from IBM research, for the image above. It shows—though you wouldn't realize on first glance—a simulation of a macaque monkey's neural connections. It shows 4,000 centers of neuronal attachment, each represented as a dot along the ring, connected by more than 320,739 arcs. And you know what else? It's damn pretty.
But there are other great pieces of work, too. Like this striking microscopic image, which clinched first prize in the Photography category. Taken by Pupa Gilbert and Christopher Killian, from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, it's a scanning electron microscope image of sea urchin teeth. It's so pretty, in fact, it actually won the People's Choice category, too.
And then there's this amazing visualization of the human heart. Put together by a team from the Barcelona Supercomputing Center using data from MRI scans, it shows in great details the amazingly complex contractions of the heart.
You can read about the other winners over on the National Science Foundation's website.

Hemorrhoids are enlarged, bulging blood vessels in the anus and lower rectum. Hemorrhoid banding is a procedure to remove them.
Banding is used to treat painful, swollen hemorrhoids. The procedure is most often done for the following reasons:
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have hemorrhoid banding, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
Your doctor may do the following:
Anesthesia is not usually needed. A local anesthesia may be used in some cases to numb the area.
An anoscope will be inserted through the anus. The doctor will look through the tube to see inside the rectum and locate the hemorrhoid. A special banding tool will be used. The tool will place a small rubber band around the hemorrhoid. The band cuts off the blood supply. This will make the hemorrhoid fall off. More than one hemorrhoid may be banded. The band and the hemorrhoid will fall off in about 1-2 weeks.
This is a short procedure. The length of time depends on how many hemorrhoids need treatment.
Patients often report some discomfort during and after this procedure. If you feel sharp or severe pain, tell the doctor right away. Mild pain medication will help you manage discomfort during recovery.
For a few days, you may have difficulty controlling the passage of gas and bowel movements. When you return home after the procedure, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
After arriving home, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:

TAHOE/TRUCKEE, Calif. - More than a century after topographical engineer John C. Fremont reported his "discovery," the 1960 Winter Olympics at Squaw Valley represents the moment in history when the rest of the world discovered Lake Tahoe. The Walt Disney-inspired pageantry, Hollywood celebrities, and live television broadcast brought a certain sparkle to these Winter Games, but ultimately it was the athletes who made the Olympics the ultimate in amateur competition. In 1960 the United States wasn't the world-class winter sports powerhouse it is now, but Americans would medal in dramatic ways.
Site preparation for the 1960 Winter Olympiad at Squaw Valley took five years and more than $15 million dollars. No previous Olympic host community had ever attempted even a fraction of what organizers put together at Squaw. The only thing they couldn't control was the weather, and without a snowmaking system in place, they were at the mercy of timely Pacific storms to generate a substantial Sierra snowpack.
Similar to this year, the weather pattern in the months before the 1960 Games featured persistent dry weather and an alarming lack of snowfall. With the eyes of the nation and the world on Squaw Valley and with no wet weather in sight, Olympic organizers were getting nervous. When storms finally arrived, they threatened to derail the Games. During the first half of February, a subtropical jet stream raised snow levels to 8,500 feet and nearly 8 inches of rain soaked Squaw Valley. A week before the opening ceremonies, another warm system lashed the mountains with more rain. The Olympic site was getting washed away even as crews were doing everything in their power to protect the facilities from serious damage. The parking lot of packed snow on the valley floor was nearly washed out and several ski courses suffered washouts. Damage in the Lake Tahoe area was estimated at half a million dollars. The Olympic venue at Squaw Valley was in real trouble and desperate organizers talked about hauling snow in by truck. Fortunately, cold air swept in dumping 3 feet of fresh snow on the flood-damaged parking lot. Greater amounts of snow in the higher elevations boosted the snowpack there to nearly 10 feet.
The Opening Ceremonies for the 1960 Winter Games were slated to begin on Feb. 18, but the weather had showed up late and then refused to leave. The U.S. Weather Bureau was forecasting a slight chance of flurries for the opening, but a mini-blizzard roared in that morning which cut visibility to zero and dumped nearly a foot of fresh snow on the thousands of spectators and participants arriving for the early afternoon ceremonies. Traffic was backed up for miles. President Dwight D. Eisenhower had been unable to make it to the opening so Vice-President Richard Nixon and wife Pat took on the responsibility. They were scheduled to fly from Reno to Squaw Valley by helicopter, but the nasty weather forced them to travel by motorcade.
The heavy snowfall and monumental traffic jams delayed Nixon's arrival and forced Olympic officials to postpone the opening ceremony by about one hour. As it turned out, the timing was perfect. Shortly after Nixon's arrival the snowstorm quit, the wind let up, and the skies temporarily cleared. Bright sunshine poured down on the grateful athletes and crowds of spectators. The change was so dramatic that some described it as a biblical event. Russian delegates began thinking about the Cold War and the intense competition in science and technology between the Soviet Union and the United States and wondered, "Have the Americans perfected weather control?" Shortly after the opening ceremonies ended and everyone headed home, it began to snow again.
Walt Disney, the famous animator, avid skier, and part owner of the Sugar Bowl ski area, was chairman of the Pageantry Committee for the 1960 Winter Games. The focal point and backdrop for all ceremonies was an 80-foot Tower of Nations fashioned of open steelwork, featuring the colors and emblems of all participating nations. (The original structure is located at the intersection of Highway 89 and the entrance to Squaw Valley.) The Opening and Closing Ceremonies involved 5,000 participants, including 1,285 musical instruments and more than 2,600 singers from 52 California and Nevada high school bands. There were also dramatic ice sculptures designed by Disney himself and various fireworks displays. At one point, 2,000 "peace doves" (white pigeons) were released into the brilliant blue sky. In announcing his plans for the festivities, Disney said, "Nothing is more important than creating lasting goodwill among our visitors, and we shall do everything we can to make their stay a happy one."
Stay tuned for part 2 next time.

For some reason I am unable to comment on the previous diary entry so I'll do it here... MERCY??? Oh gosh how I'd LOVE to see that song in the setlist... and I'm sure many others share my same feelings about it. Praying that you can convince the lads!
And about HMTMKMKM... that's a great song and I'm very happy it surfaced again, but honestly I don't think it works as good as Ultraviolet with the steering wheel and the laser jacket...

Pretty in looks, pretty in quality
The colours of these are absolutely amazing (I found them to be a bit darker than on the photo, though, just for reference) and the material is very comfortable and smooth. They stay up just as they should and the tree, which is probably the thing that catches the eye about these the most, isn't stretched too far at all even though my calves aren't exactly small. Only downside, in a way, is that even after having worn them only once the fabric on the side where the big toe is already stretches a bit thin. I hope that's just a normal trace of usage and won't mean there'll be a big hole in both socks in a few months, but experience with other socks by this brand actually suggest the former so I'm none too stressed about it!

Beautiful and comfy
Love these! I got a second pair. They're generously sized and just beautiful. The design is on the outside of both socks so there's a left sock and a right sock. Get them, you won't regret it.

Beautiful colors, soft, well-made!
I got these for Christmas last year and liked them so much, I'm coming back and ordering another pair on my dime! They are my favorite pair of knee-highsof the 15 or so pairs I have. Love the colors, love the design of the tree, love the feel and wear. They are soft and smooth.

Beautiful, but one weird issue
These are nice, thick, smooth, and brightly colored. I love the concept, and they are the perfect colors to go with my predominantly black and purple wardrobe. But...
They are very comfortable for about an hour or two, but as I walk around during the day, my feet inch forward in them, and smoosh my toes in front, and I have to keep adjusting them. Yes this is with or without shoes. They're kind of big on my women's size seven feet to begin with, and before I know it, the heel is at mid calf. Once they've done that, I'm tugging on them all day. I have never had this happen with other socks. I'm not sure why it happens with these. (the high degree of stretch, maybe?) So as much as I adore the look, I won't buy them again and can't recommend them to anyone who walks as much as I do.

Love them .... so much fun
I just found this site and ordered these socks. I am a plus sized woman with very muscular calves. Boots never fit but these socks fit. So nice. They are very comfortable and soft. Stretch well to fit my calves but would fit small calves very well as well. I can't wait to order more socks.

These socks are absolutely beautiful, and they feel really great on as well. I haven't tried yet, but they would make great layering pieces as well. Really good quality also.

I got these for Christmas a year ago, and they've held up beautifully so far. And I do mean beautifully-- these are probably the prettiest socks I own.

Wavegain vs. MP3Gain, Why the former might be better... |
Wavegain vs. MP3Gain, Why the former might be better... |

Yes, I know that MP3Gain is lossless. No, I am not talking about how MP3Gain is limited to 1.5dB steps (though this is another reason).
What I am thinking is this: Psychoacoustic models tend to encode louder signals with more bits, right? This is why remasters (compressed) tend to use higher bitrates than older versions. Correct? If we are then encoding a VERY LOUD album with LAME -aps for instance, then normalizing it down say 10.5dB (for a really bad one), aren't we wasting bits? Wouldn't we be able to save some bits by normalizing it down to 89dB FIRST, then encoding it? I know wavegain is NOT LOSSLESS, but I am (incorrectly) assuming that this is just a theoretical lossiness, not a perceptible one. If this is the case, couldn't we argue that wavegained tracks will be of lower bitrates while still maintaining transparency (the goal, afterall, of -aps)? --------------------------------- | UPDATE (May 21st, 2005) | --------------------------------- The discussion below basically concludes that running a wavegain analysis, then applying the recommended scalefactor to lame (via the --scale switch) will save bits due to high-frequency bloat inherent in the mp3 format. Lots of people have since chosen to use this method over mp3gain, and in fact it can be automated now from within EAC using Wack, or my own Omni Encoder. Read on!

Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
This step is a very powerful step I believe. But is often dealt with lightly. I urge you to look at your text books and 12x12s and see how the amount of notes and highlighting compares with other steps...I notice on this very forum it was over 2 years since it was mentioned.
Yet again recently, I have been in a meeting and talking with sponsee on step 8, and more stuff has come to mind. More stuff that although not troubling me as such, I can identify it as obstructing my path to my HP, and needing some action to allow me to outgrow it.
Does anyone else have experience of coming to see new harms done to others? New levels or qualities of harms. It is easy to see the big ones where we acted badly, the girlfriend cheated on, the stolen cash etc. How about ones like the impatiently dismissed child with a question etc - maybe not an amends needed, but an example of how our behaviour hurts, and do we still do it. We stopped cheating and lieing some time ago (hopefully) but what about emotional harms that we may have little idea we do...
What do others think?

Women in the Boardroom: The Future of Female CEOs
Last week General Motors named Mary Barra their CEO. She's highly qualified, and has worked at the company for over 30 years, so her appointment shouldn't be much of a surprise. Except that she's a woman. This hour we'll discuss why it's still rare for a female to oversee a corporation, and whether young women are aiming for the boardroom at all.

Her naming ceremony, I'll always remember, was March 26th. Today is April 4th and the forsythia is in full bloom and tonight, I brought a vaseful of clippings inside. Because of our first daughter I'll always measure the onset of spring by the bloom of our forsythia.
Earlier today, the four of us spent a wonderful afternoon getting acquainted with the girls' new swingset. We spent a lot of time in the backyard, squealing and sliding and chasing and muddying. Before we came in for bathtime E looked to the corner and proclaimed, I love our sunflowers. I looked at her. "We don't have sunflowers, love." You know, she said. You know I call those 'sunflowers.' Because they're so yellow.
Before she went to bed I took cuttings of my cuttings. E wanted to have some sunflowers inside, too.

Hearing loss that occurs gradually as you age (presbycusis) is common. About one-third of people in the United States between the ages of 65 and 75 have some degree of hearing loss. For those older than 75, the number of people with some hearing loss is almost 1 in 2.
Doctors believe that heredity and chronic exposure to loud noises are the main factors that contribute to hearing loss over time. Other factors, such as excessive earwax, can temporarily prevent your ears from conducting sounds as well as they should.
You can't reverse hearing loss. However, you don't have to live in a world of muted, less distinct sounds. You and your doctor or hearing specialist can take steps to improve what you hear.

iPad vs. iPhone: A User Experience Study
Our 2-year-olds can use it. It's a brilliant entertainment device. But what sort of business potential does the iPad offer? Several companies have shown interest in mobile payment systems from startups like Square to mega-corporations like Visa. But what is the iPad's user experience in a real-world, business environment?
By now, one thing we know is that the iPad is not simply a larger iPhone, nor is it a smaller computer. Developers have been quick to port their apps from the iPhone to the iPad to ensure they don't miss out on this trend, but there are big differences in the underlying specs and form factor of the iPad that make this a fundamentally different user experience.
Lucky for us, Bolt | Peters likes researching UX, and we thought this topic deserved a little investigation. So we conducted an observation of 14 customers over three months at our neighborhood coffee shop, Sightglass, that just happened to be an early user of Square on both the iPhone and the iPad. We observed and recorded those customers' mobile payment interactions with the Square app, and interviewed select customers. Our first study was in December 2009 (with the iPhone) with a follow-up in April 2010 (with the iPad).
Two important business considerations came from our studies: (1) speed kills (in a good way), and (2) shared is the new private. If you're thinking that nothing statistically valid can come from observing such a small sample of interactions, the Internet is chock full of data supporting that behavior repeats over a very small sample, and that we can safely extract patterns to much larger audiences, as long as we're not talking about opinions. We were definitely not observing people's opinions about the iPad or iPhone; we are strictly interested in how they accomplish the simple task of paying for coffee.
Speed Kills
In our observations of mobile payment transactions at Sightglass, the time it took to complete a purchase using Square on the iPad was more than twice as fast as using Square on the iPhone. In one direct comparison, it took 20.5 seconds to complete a purchase with the iPad, but 44.1 seconds on an iPhone 3G.
As slaves to our digital devices, we find that the physical world is constantly competing for our attention. Seconds matter here. This hasn't been an issue with computing until very recently; usability scientists in the 90's claimed 8 to 15 seconds was the maximum time someone would wait for an interaction using a desktop computer (see Shackel's Acceptability Paradigm). But with any kind of portable device, seconds mean the difference between a seamless user experience and pocketing the device to pay with cash or talk to a stranger.
A 100% increase in speed is a huge deal. It means the merchant was effortlessly ringing up customers one after another with fewer clicks and less down time on the iPad. There was more time to prepare other customers' drinks and less time spent hunched over a handheld device waiting for the transaction to complete. Keep in mind that for Sightglass, a boutique coffee kiosk, the iPhone as a point-of-sale system was still superior to accepting cash only; they had no other cash register.
We all have heard by now that the iPad's 1GHz processor is light years ahead of the current iPhone, although this has changed now that Apple has gotten back all its "stolen" 4G iPhones and released them to the public. And while it seems obvious, this speed in the iPad makes for more than just a casually better user experiences and positive outcomes for business prospects. It's the first time that seconds are a fundamental part of user experience in almost a decade of personal computing.
Shared is the New Private
The form factor and physical affordances of the iPad also change the nature of the game. The iPad is not pocket sized, it has a large screen (1024 x 768 at 132ppi), and it naturally lays flat on the table as opposed to resting upright or being tucked away in your hand. All of these factors place the iPad squarely in the realm of a shareable computing device.
Notice how easy it is to view content on iPad. The screen can easily be viewed by 3-4 users sitting around in a circle or gazing over the shoulder. An iPhone with its 480x320 screen would be squinted at by neighbors, or would simply be passed around and handled individually.
And as a shared device, the iPad invites social interaction.
This actually proves to be somewhat of a pain point in the user experience of Square on the iPad, as customers are drawn to interacting with (or at least observing) their payment transactions. Yet iPad users today are now largely removed from the transaction, apart from providing their credit card as a form of payment.
After that, the merchant drives the interaction. Since the iPad Square app doesn't require customer signatures anymore, we observed merchants skipping over the (optional) tipping screen time and again. When asked about this, merchants said it was too awkward to ask aloud, "And would you like to add a tip to that?" One time the transaction proceeded so quickly that a customer commented at the end, "This is great! But where do I tip?"
Part of the reason for this shift in experience is that Sightglass' iPad is more like a cash register than a hand-held mobile device. This is made possible, in part, by a custom wooden holder that was specially designed for Sightglass. The holder keeps the iPad upright and angled in such a way that it's readable and easy to interact with by people standing at the counter. Plus it swivels and hides all the ugly cords and stuff.
Take a look at the side-by-side comparison of a mobile payment transaction on the iPhone versus the iPad, paying attention to all the open space surrounding the iPad.
It's interesting that customers want to engage with merchants during payment, but don't quite know what their role is supposed to be. Around normal cash registers, customers would never step behind the table and complete their own transaction. With the iPhone Square app, customers were required to complete their own transaction. And now with the iPad, do the customers step up and add their own tip—entering the private space of the merchant and cash register—or stay clear of the transaction altogether?
We observed one telling interaction that illustrated how the affordances of the iPad-cum-cash-register can lead to some awkwardness. In this case, the merchant swiped the customer's card (per usual) but immediately stepped away from the iPad to prepare another customer's drink. This left the payment process in limbo, and made the paying customer wonder what would happens next.
After a moment or two, the customer glanced down at the iPad and noticed that the transaction had paused on the screen asking for a tip. He looked around, hesitated, and then gingerly reached over and pressed the $1 tip button. He did the same on the next screen, where he entered an email address for a receipt, only stepping closer to use the iPad keyboard. Throughout this episode, his body language spoke of his social curiosity for the iPad mixed with the social taboo of entering the domain of the merchant.
Now, this is just one example of how the physical affordances and social invitation of the iPad can lead to awkward user experiences, especially for customers involved in mobile payment transactions. At the same time, customers were not involved in most of the transactions at Sightglass, making the user experience for the merchant quick, painless, and efficient.

It's amazing how time has proven most of your points true! IPad and iPhone have been two landmark achievements in the mobile UI industry. They have truly revolutionised how users interact with touch technology. It's been close to 3 years since this article was published , and many of the points made have been truly visionary. Kudos to the authors!
hi.gyus...think what is the need of i pad ? already u hve a i phone and laptops then we will get a answer only difference is a big screen...so this thing is totaly dependent on a concept of a big screen and a clear touch.......so this is a time of a technoogy so don't waste your time and devlop a new device which contain all the feature....thanku samsung
I see that today (in the UK) the new iPad2 has just been released - you have got to feel sorry for people whom now have the aged original iPad (me!) the rate at which technology evolves these days is staggering and only a few months after buying goods seem to be obsolete!
iPad does not include the customer keying in his email address for the e-receipt, but in the case of the iPhone it does, thanks !
slides concerning iPhone/iPad UX:
One interesting thing to note:
In the video, the time for the iPad does not include the customer keying in his email address for the e-receipt, but in the case of the iPhone it does. Isn't this unfair?
I feel there's a place for both. The key is really how long a person is involved in a transaction (as you pointed out the iPad has the speed advantage.) But if you are in a hurry and only have the iPhone, then it's going to be this device. Bottom line: we;re just going mobile. Mobile bohemians actually. Mobos. As more apps are brought to market, laptops will be on their way down and mobile devices on the way up. Also see the recent Pew research, interesting.
Anyway, great review. Nice how you compared them side-by-side.
Seconds do matter. Mostly because it took too many to load the video you posted here.
Interesting study.
I think you should have compared to a 3rd place where a simple card-reader and computer is used.
Love how you point how that Seligman's big lesson watching the shift from negative to a positive psychology maps to a similar shift in design. We are moving from usability (reducing misery) to something we call at best 'experience' (maximizing happiness). We need different techniques to make this happen for people.
A note building on your Netflix example of flow: we had Bill Scott (formerly lead UI engineer of Netflix) in for a talk recently and he shared how the original implementation of that rating system did delight people in the short term, but diverted them from actions that put movies in their queue. They'd lose themselves in the moment, then lunchtime would end and they'd close their browser.
Bill went on to share that over the long term Netflix benefited more from the halo effect of people watching rented movies they liked and projected those warm fuzzy feelings back onto Netflix (who didn't exactly make the movie). They kept the rating flow, but relocated it to its current home without interrupting movie rentals.
Glad to see another TED talks junky out there!
I tend to judge companies by their website. I think, If they've taking their time to make my experience on their site a great one, then I will loyal and share the love forever.
Jetblue is this case. I have preferred at times to fly into one city and drive to another instead of taking a direct flight with another airline (when time is not an issue of course). My happiness is more important than saving money too (thanks Apple).
Recently I launched a site where my end goal was to wow people by creating something useful, intuitive and made them happy. People love food and I myself have often times not known where to eat and I hate deciding that.
Shows people pics of food and then gets out of your way. No ads, no upsells, signups, extra features (not even reviews or ratings). I'm so HAPPY how it came out and would love some feedback from other U/X lovers :)
On the topic of speed, there is actually a much greater performance disparity between the iPad and the iPhone 3G. The "S" in 3GS wasn't just for "speed of the network," as it was a major step up from the iPhone 3G in terms of sheer hardware performance: The iPhone 3G has a 417MHz CPU, and a weaker graphics chip than the iPhone 3GS and the iPad. The iPhone 3GS got a 600 MHz CPU and a big graphics bump. I'd like to see this Square experience compared between an iPad and an iPhone 3GS. Perhaps a comparison with the upcoming iPhone 4 would be the most interesting, because it gets the same A4 1GHz CPU that's in the iPad.
I have a solution - how about a stand where after the person behind the counter has punched in stuff, she/he just flips the iPad over like a teeter-totter allowing the customer to do his/her part. The iPad's accelerometer ensures that the screen flips over too so the customer sees the screen right side up. Strategically placed rubber bumpers on the stand (or affixed to the ends of the iPad) ensure that the iPad doesn't get dinged.
This is a good example of a real use for an ipad.
I have to say though I am still underwhelmed by it.
It's too heavy, you can't touch type realistically on it, you can't carry in your pocket, it's annoying to hold for prolonged periods, it's not extendable... I could go on.
Sure it has it's niche, but v2.0 needs to be a whole lot better for this to really become something other then a expensive digital photo frame and video playback device.
Ben -
Shit you're totally right. I was thinking in terms of hardware about the seconds issue. Namely that since the days of upgrading from a 286 to a Pentium, the difference in processor speed in desktop hardware has not yielded significant improvements in user experience. GPUs, sure, and tons of software improvements, but not core processing speed. But of course we all work in terms of seconds for interaction design and development - web apps, sites, software, etc.
It just struck me that the substantial processing power increase from the iPhone to the iPad yields a fundamental shift in the experience. For example, where an iPhone user might just say "screw it," looking something up in a browser, because it will simply take too long, they could actually execute that task 2-3x faster on the iPad, and as a result new use-case scenarios for rapid computing could open up.
Thanks for the good point.
"It's the first time that seconds are a fundamental part of user experience in almost a decade of personal computing."
I think this is an interesting article, and the iPad, iPhone are interesting devices, but really? I mean I've been a web designer for a long time now and not once have I thought speed was not a fundamental part of the user experience I was designing.
Regardless of the increase in internet connection speeds across the world, we are constantly designing for sites, apps, whatever to work quickly across a large audience. This includes optimizing images, html, javascript, all sorts of things.
It seems arrogant, or fanboy-ish at least to think that only the iPad brings this point into relevancy in the discussion again.
I think it would be better to leave comments like that out and just examine the experience as it is at face value.
So far I am not impressed by what I have seen from the iPad. The social interaction issue is not something new that came with the iPad. It has been around since computers exist and it entered the mobile world with the introduction of the laptop. Personally I think it's a bit silly to use an iPad in a store as some sort of replacement for cash registers. It's a mobile device and I don't see a waiting coming to your table with something as huge as an iPad so you can make the payment. The large letters leave very little privacy as well.
Personally I think the iPad is a gadget which is hip but with not too many really practical or handy uses. It's simply too large for a light weight mobile device (in fact it's quite heavy) and can do too little for it's price and compared to Netbooks.
Great article Nate.
The more I use the iPad, the more I think that the OS is simply not suited to the small form factor, even though it has revolutionised mobile phones for years. Scenarios like this will be far more common with the proliforation of tablet/slate devices
Interesting article and great findings. After using iPad for quiet some time, I could no less agree with the fact that iPad definitely invites social interaction. Its really an interesting and engaging platform!
Rightly said: "The social interaction is definitely another factor we should think about when designing an experience". Otherwise it may land end users in awkward situations...
"The social interaction is definitely another factor we should think about when designing an experience."
Really? What a blindingly incisive insight!
Wow, that's seriously profound.. Now I come to think of it the requirement for oxygen is definitely a factor we should take into account when planning on breathing too..

This is a 100% Port-style Zinfandel, not a late harvest Zinfandel.
This wine is not entered into competitions.
Notes from the winemaker:
• Serve slightly chilled
• Serve with any sweet dessert
• Hold for up to 20 years
"During the holidays, enjoy this luscious-flavored dessert wine by a roaring fire." - Bruce Boring, CWC Proprietor
This wine was recently featured in The California Wine Club's wine of the month club.

I've watched probably 1000 Kansas games in my life. Never seen anything like this. I'm not going to be able to handle the nuttiness at phog.net tonight, so I'm going to hang out here while I watch the worst Big 12 team in history beat KU 32-6.

Love these pants
These pants are great ,lightweight for summer. Great for work! Must have classic
July 1, 2013
Love these pants!
These pants looks super cute with almost any shirt and they are true to size!
June 26, 2013
Great fabric & color but fit is tricky
A caveat: I am returning these pants for a better fitting pair. I purchased the navy Cassidy crops with the nautical elements and thought that since these have pretty much the same title that they would fit the same. Not so! The waist band curves in at the waist and pinches slightly; the legs are wide -- which I thought I would like being that I have larger thighs but they only ended up making my legs look larger. Boo!
June 3, 2013
need to go up size
i had purchased a size 10 but when they were received they were a bit snug..i would deff go up a size from your normal. I am 5'6 and athletic build.
May 30, 2013
To Bell-bottomy
The quality of the fabric was nice, but I'm 5'9" and the inseam of these pants was to short. I ordered a size 6. Also the pants flaired way to much, especially since skinny is in now. They need to slim these down a bit. It was to bad because the fabric was nice for summer, pants just not so nice on me.
May 24, 2013
Perfect work crops
I bought these in 3 colors for the warmer weather. They are dressy enough for work. Quality is excellent. Love the fabric. Fit is true to size. I am 125 lbs. and 5'6" and the 4 fits me perfectly. Perfect!
March 28, 2013
Great pants!
Just got these today and tried them--they fit exceptionally well (I am a bigger girl and wear a size 16). They are a great color, and match a ton of things in my closet. The fabric is great and super soft. I'm so excited for the weather to change so I can wear these out!!

Looking forward to this one. I hope the track editor makes it over to Linux too.
Phoronix: A New Commercial Game For Linux That's Not An FPS
There's a new commercial game coming to Linux that's not yet-another-first-persons-shooter. Besides not being an FPS, one of the most common genres of Linux native commercial games, the game studio behind this title claims "there are some technical details about this game that make it completely unique within Linux."..
Looking forward to this one. I hope the track editor makes it over to Linux too.
For those having trouble displaying their videos on the webpage, direct links are here:
Looks like an F-Zero clone, not sure I'm interested in that.
I like how the Phoronix-links here are all in one paragraph at the end, and not before the link to the actual subject of the article. That could still be moved to actually be the first link though.
Ask them to release a reduced functionality benchmark. Add the benchmark to the PTS. All it needs to be is a no-input timedemo.
It's free advertising and testing for them. It's a free benchmark for PTS.
Win win.
Make it happen. Ready, set, go!
hello all
>Looking forward to this one. I hope the track editor makes it over to Linux too.
actually you have to do additional racetracks in any 3D modeling package that can export to .OBJ files, e.g. Blender. So you need modeling experience.
the track editor tool for the mac is just a shiny front-end to some python scripts that convert the exported .OBJ files into the necessary format. The python scripts should work out-of-the box on linux, so it should be fine if you aren't afraid of the command line. Doing a front-end for linux too should be just a few minutes. I'm sure there are bugs in the 3rd party race-track support though, since no-one has built one yet ;-(
>Looks like an F-Zero clone
>Looks like a remake of Bullfrog's Hi-Octane
Actually the inspiration has been another big anti gravity racer (think about the year 2097).
bye, julian
As I've been saying for years, GNUStep is where linux should be putting its desktop development effort. You gain OSX compatability AND a better desktop experience. Not to mention Linux could actually gain a decent video API.
six guns, six maps, and six ships.
6 6 6
hmm.. I think we need one more of something. Another map would be nice. haha
Looks interesting. There's been a spate of racing games lately, including Forza 4 (couple friends worked on that) and Nitronic Rush (which, while not as polished or complete looking as Core Breach, was made from scratch with no existing engine or physics toolkit at all and by just a handful of students with only a couple years' worth of prior programming experience).
Also, the codename of the game I'm working on now is... very very similar to Core Breach. Might need a new codename. [and this one _does_ run on Linux, at least right now; may or may not by release time, depending on various factors]

I just ate Monicals thin crust for the first time this last Thursday. It was very good. I noticed the bottom of the crust was quite blistered and not really brown. This may be a result of their ovens.
You need to work on their deep dish.....in my opinion, Monicals deep dish pizza is even better than the thin crust.
After coating the bottom of the 7 cutter pan with a combination of a pulverized clove of fresh garlic and olive oil (about a teaspoon),
What quantities did you add in the other spices in your tomatos.
Mike,What kind of pan did you use, and what bake temperature? And did you use the recipe for the 8"?Peter

Governor Mark Dayton has presented the state with a proposed budget full of bloated spending projects paid for by increasing job-killing taxes– extending taxes to clothing and services, for example, which will remove one of the last remaining competitive advantages we have over neighboring states. This budget even prompted Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker to appeal to Minnesota business owners to come over the border to enjoy a more supportive climate for the private sector.
As a free market supporter, you clearly understand the negative impacts of government encroaching even further into our everyday lives. Perhaps it is the governor's limited private-sector experience that is leading him to take his liberal, big-spending allies in St. Paul down a road that will harm Minnesota's business climate for many years to come. Undoubtedly though, legislators will be seeking an even greater expansion of government than the governor has proposed.
In order to push back against these risky schemes, we need your help! We will be meeting every Tuesday at 10:00 am at the Kelly Inn in St. Paul (161 St. Anthony Ave.) to pore over the bills our legislators are introducing. Once we've determined whether the bill would help or hinder our goal of increasing economic freedom for Minnesota, we'll pass our conclusions along to constituents so that, in turn, they can encourage lawmakers to do right by our state's residents.
