Apple Patents Technology to Disable Certain Phone Functions While Driving
Apple today was awarded a patent by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (via AppleInsider) that describes technology to partially disable a phone when the user is driving. The patent details several different lockout mechanisms that block functions like texting and SMS in order to reduce distracted driving. U.S. Patent No. 8,706,143 describes two main methods to block select iPhone features. The first method requires no input from the car and uses the iPhone's accelerometer and other on-board sensors to determine when a user is driving. Another method uses direct input from a car, which sends a signal to the iPhone that blocks a user from text messaging and using other mobile phone functions while behind the wheel. Quote:
As with all patents, this is proposed technology that may or may not make its way into a future device. Apple's in-car efforts now focus on the Siri-controlled CarPlay, which provides voice-controlled access to Maps, phone, messages and music. The in-car technology initially debuted as a factory-installed option in new 2014 luxury models from Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz and Volvo and will be available as an aftermarket add-on via Pioneer and Alpine-branded receivers. It also will debut in 2015 Sonata models from Hyundai. Article Link: Apple Patents Technology to Disable Certain Phone Functions While Driving |

Not sure how the phone can determine the driver vs. the passenger in the car. Surely they've considered that.
Edit: Should've read the article more closely. It would be interesting to see how the "sensing" technology works in the UK vs. other countries where the driver sits on the left. Last edited by avanpelt; Apr 22, 2014 at 08:31 AM. |

Surprised Google/Motorola haven't already patented some of this, the Moto X can already detect when you're driving and switch to a different set of settings, read out your incoming SMS messages etc.

So other in-car systems can not use this "disabling" option because Apple got a patent?
I am an Apple Fan but this is truly stupid. To block some functions during driving is not a "patent"able thing. If you have a special method to do this; for example sensing if car is going or if there is a passenger, you patent this method of yours. But this patent is soo general. This is for basic security for God's sake, what was the institute thinking while patenting this to Apple? Last edited by balcis; Apr 22, 2014 at 08:45 AM. Reason: basic |

I hope something like this becomes mandatory. People are overconfident in both their driving and multitasking abilities. The reality is they suck at both and then they try to do them both at the same time.
What I would like is if Apple improved its hands free stuff as well. If it detects that I am driving I shouldn't have to hold down a button to activate siri, it should just be listening for its name. Also if the phone rings it should tell me who it is. And if I get a text it should give me the option to read it or do an auto-responder telling them I am busy/driving.

What this patent describes is methods to sense and disable functions. Try reading the patent file before getting irritated next time.

Yep stupid and if you drive an imported car?
If this is optional then fair enough but to not be able to turn it off would be a mistake. I kinda feel like changing some functions based in location and activity could be very useful but changing anything is risky as we expect functions to be there all the time. I'm not sure how I can see this becoming useful. |

Also, what makes you think your imported car won't work with it eventually? I mean sure, you won't have iTunes Radio... If people are going to use the phone anyways, you may as well make it as safe as possible. People can manage changing a song on an iPhone in the car about as much as with car stereos. People use it to navigate as well as they would with a standalone GPS. However, there is no reason for someone to be on Safari waiting for the weather page to load between stop lights, especially when it puts other people at risk. I have no reason to believe this wouldn't be optional; even as a reminder it still serves a purpose. However, it still has a long way to go in terms of polishing and standardizing.

This is a horrible idea. We are adults and should be able to decide when we can use our phones.
KEEP THE NANNY-STATE BULLS**T AWAY FROM OUR TECH PLEASE. And for the record, I don't text while driving unless I'm completely stopped at a stoplight. I'm not a moron. But because there are morons out there doesn't mean my technology should be hobbled.

That's half the problem. Just because you are not moving atm, you are still driving the car and should not be texting. I can't tell you the number of people I have seen stopped at a light texting. The light turns green and they remain stopped at the light oblivious to the light change. When they finally decide to move (usually in response to people honking their horns), they immediately take off and often cause an accident (because they weren't aware of the conditions in the intersection). The only safe time to text is when the car is parked and the ignition is off. Last edited by Plutonius; Apr 22, 2014 at 11:30 AM. |

If you have all the roads to yourself, by all means text, call, surf to your hearts content. The only person you jeopardize is zorinlynx. However, when you're on the road with other people, your 2 ton conveyance can easily become a WMD <- nice hyperbole. Bolded: You may not be a moron and other may be as moronic as you think they are. You have a responsibility to yourself (we'd miss you if you died because of a text) and to others on the road. Driving should always be done defensively. You can't do that while texting. Only a moron would drive any other way. Before someone says sitting at a stoplight is not driving. Don't. If the engine is on and the car is not in park, you're driving. Besides, no text is that important. Ever. If you think it is. Pull over.

Which country? And what does "import" mean to you? My cars are from Korea and Japan according to the company names, but they were assembled in the USA, probably out of parts mostly manufactured in China.
I don't see why that would matter to software in an iPhone, anyway.

Public Information Notices
Kingdom of the Netherlands-Netherlands and the IMF |
IMF Concludes Article IV Consultation
Public Information Notices (PINs) form part of the IMF's efforts to promote transparency of the IMF's views and analysis of economic developments and policies. With the consent of the country (or countries) concerned, PINs are issued after Executive Board discussions of Article IV consultations with member countries, of its surveillance of developments at the regional level, of post-program monitoring, and of ex post assessments of member countries with longer-term program engagements. PINs are also issued after Executive Board discussions of general policy matters, unless otherwise decided by the Executive Board in a particular case. |
On October 15, 1999, the Executive Board concluded the Article IV consultation with the Kingdom of the Netherlands-Netherlands.1
The Netherlands posted a strong economic performance during the 1990s, based on sound macroeconomic policies and complementary and interlocking reforms to fiscal policy, social security, and labor and product markets. Robust real GDP growth was combined with strong job creation and falling unemployment, as well as increasing labor participation rates. After three years of above trend growth, activity is set to return to a more sustainable path in 1999 and 2000.
Economic activity remained strong in 1998, with real GDP expanding 3.8 percent. A slowdown that started mid-year (associated mainly with reduced foreign demand) was temporary, and growth picked up again towards the end of the year. Capacity utilization rates have fallen slightly since their peak in 1998, but tensions have appeared in segments of the labor market as the unemployment rate has continued to fall. Partly as a result, labor costs increases in manufacturing outpaced productivity gains for the first time in five years. Despite the tight labor market, however, consumer price inflation remained broadly unchanged, and indications are that wage demands have moderated somewhat. Competitiveness remained strong overall in 1998, although it declined somewhat vis-à-vis the euro area. Due to buoyant imports and a temporary slowdown in exports, the current account surplus fell to 5¼ percent of GDP.
Fiscal developments proved better than expected, as the deficit fell to 0.8 percent of GDP in 1998, despite a small overrun in expenditures above the real ceilings set in the medium-term fiscal framework. Although revenues were buoyant due to strong consumption growth, tax cuts resulted in a deterioration of the underlying fiscal position and provided a fiscal stimulus. In the latest projections, the deficit for 1999 will fall to below ½ percent of GDP.
With the cyclical position of the economy more advanced than most of the euro area, monetary conditions may pose difficulties for Dutch macroeconomic management. Monetary aggregates have continued to increase strongly: growth in private-sector credit accelerated to over 16 percent in 1998, and although mortgage credit expansion slowed through most of 1998, it accelerated again towards the end of the year, with growth rates remaining above 15 percent. House prices and the stock market index continued to post sharp gains, even though the latter has moderated recently.
Structural reforms, which have underpinned medium-term growth in output and employment, were extended and deepened in 1998. To promote further the reintegration of the long-term unemployed, schemes for temporary public-sector and subsidized employment were expanded, progress was made in formulating proposals for creating a single gateway for those seeking benefits, and new laws providing better protection for temporary and part-time employees were prepared. Progress in product-market reform has been slower, although in 1998 a strengthened Competition Law was enacted and the utilities sector was further liberalized.
The outlook for the Dutch economy remains favorable. GDP growth is expected to decline only marginally to around 3 percent by 2000, reflecting some easing of domestic demand. With the global economy picking up steam, export demand has recovered in the course of 1999, setting the stage for an improvement in the net foreign balance in 2000. Inflation is projected at 2¼ percent in 1999, with the increase over 1998 mainly due to higher import prices, as a result of the weaker euro and higher oil prices. Inflation is not expected to decline in 2000, as demand pressures continue to build. In fact, the continued tightness in the labor market imparts a risk of putting upward pressure on wages and prices, eventually undermining profitability and competitiveness. A correction in housing prices could adversely affect consumption. On the other hand, high rates of capacity utilization together with a revival in export markets could stimulate investment more than expected.
Executive Board Assessment
Executive Directors commended the authorities for their sustained implementation of sound macroeconomic policies and comprehensive structural reforms. Directors noted that the mutually reinforcing effects of these policies and the broad consensus among social partners on key policy reforms had contributed to a prolonged economic expansion, accompanied by substantial job creation and a decline in the unemployment rate to one of the lowest in the EU. At the same time, firm expenditure restraint had permitted tax reductions to proceed along with fiscal consolidation, with favorable implications for public debt dynamics.
Directors agreed that the Dutch economy was likely to continue to grow at above trend rates in the near term, benefiting from recovery in world demand and high consumer confidence, and monetary conditions that from the perspective of the Dutch economy, are relatively easy. Under the present circumstances, most Directors considered that the authorities should closely monitor the possibility of intensifying inflationary pressures and sustain the momentum of their structural reforms in product, labor, and financial markets. Although wage inflation had not risen, labor markets had continued to tighten. Some Directors pointed to the rapid rise in real estate price and credit aggregates, especially mortgages, as evidence of possible incipient overheating. Other Directors noted, however, that inflation remained subdued, and the signs of possible overheating are difficult to assess; they considered that what the situation requires is vigilance.
Directors supported the authorities' approach of conducting fiscal policy within a medium-term framework with transparent rules. They agreed that by capping expenditure growth in real terms, the framework had contributed to tighter control over spending and facilitated fiscal consolidation in recent years. With strong growth and improved revenue prospects, most Directors encouraged the authorities to aim for a further improvement in the structural fiscal balance and to avoid any additional fiscal stimulus. They felt that further deficit reduction would be consistent with the short-term demand management requirements and the authorities' medium-term objectives. In particular, it would constitute a useful step toward dealing with the fiscal challenges associated with an aging population, by accelerating the reduction in the public debt-to-GDP ratio and allowing more room for the automatic stabilizers to operate. Directors supported the planned tax reforms and the accompanying reduction in the revenue-to-GDP ratio. They welcomed the objectives of broadening the tax base while shifting the tax burden from direct and indirect taxes, which will improve incentives. Some Directors also recommended that the large tax deductions for mortgage interest should be reviewed. Directors urged the authorities to resist pressures to move forward the tax reform scheduled for 2001.
Directors commended the authorities' progress in improving the functioning of the labor market. They agreed that the challenge now is to enhance the employment prospects of the unskilled, the old, and the partially disabled. They welcomed the various initiatives under way to provide financial incentives for workers to make the transition from welfare to work. Directors welcomed the institution of an earned income tax credit and urged the authorities to ensure that the credit is well targeted and sufficiently large to reduce the very high marginal tax rates. They also supported the authorities' plans to reform the social security administration and emphasized that sufficient, coordinated, and properly focused financial incentives would be key to the success of these reforms. Directors felt that with respect to older or partially disabled workers, the focus of attention should shift away from early retirement and income maintenance to improving job prospects. Directors welcomed the authorities' intention to keep the effectiveness of their social programs under review.
Noting that product market reforms had been less far reaching than in labor markets, Directors encouraged the authorities to press ahead to broaden the scope for such reforms, and to ensure that their initiatives are implemented in a timely manner.
Directors noted that recent developments in the financial sector had raised several important challenges for supervisors. In light of rapid growth in credit and strong housing price increases, they urged the authorities to monitor carefully the quality of loan portfolios and assess the financial system's vulnerability to macroeconomic shocks. Many Directors welcomed the establishment of the new Council of Financial Supervisors to increase cooperation among existing supervisory agencies ,while some suggested merging them into a single supervisory agency.
Directors reiterated their praise for the authorities' continued support for the principles of free international trade and their exemplary record in official development assistance, which had remained above the United Nations norm.

1 Under Article IV of the IMF's Articles of Agreement, the IMF holds bilateral discussions with members, usually every year. A staff team visits the country, collects economic and financial information, and discusses with officials the country's economic developments and policies. On return to headquarters, the staff prepares a report, which forms the basis for discussion by the Executive Board. At the conclusion of the discussion, the Managing Director, as Chairman of the Board, summarizes the views of Executive Directors, and this summary is transmitted to the country's authorities. In this PIN, the main features of the Board's discussion are described. IMF EXTERNAL RELATIONS DEPARTMENT

Rated 4 out of 5 by alvinak from Great grill basket love this grill basket! It holds all the food in place. most things don't fall out as long as you don't cut them too small. the basket is flexible so we can put a lot in there. easy to use and clean.

Rated 4 out of 5 by John from Great for Fish; Cleaning takes a bit more work. Received this basket as a gift. Have used it mainly for grilling fish like salmon. It keeps the fish from falling apart when turning it over, as it often did when on the grill grates themselves, and the fish always comes out perfectly. The only slight drawbacks: it has to be carefully maneuvered on a smaller gas grill like the smaller Weber, and it doesn't fit completely in our large kitchen sink for cleaning but it's fairly easy to scrub standing the open basked in the sink.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lu Lu from Functional ! I cook everything in this basket. Potatoes, fish, chicken, and more! It's easy to clean and made well, much more sturdy than other grill products.

Rated 1 out of 5 by livelaughlove from So disappointed I used this for the first time last night and have been cleaning it all morning. I grilled marinated veggies and the smaller pieces fell through. But the cleanup is the real problem. It's been soaking in between scrubbing. Save your money unless you enjoy hours of cleaning.

Rated 5 out of 5 by mynchkin from Excellent each time I used it I used it the first day I got it and was very pleased how easy it was to use, even the clean up after. I was hesitant at first but have used it 4 more times since and it was easier each time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Farfa from Perfect for Veggies! I can't tell you how many lost mushrooms and onions have fallen through the grate and into the flames. NO MORE! This is fantastic for all of those run away veggies that just will not behave. Gets them nice and brown and no sticking to the grill!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Trevino52 from Makes grilling meats/sausage, etc. easier. I really like the "flexible" wire. You can fit small and large items in it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JayVig from fun and simple I bought this early in the month and finally got to use it for MDW grilling. It was simple to use. Food cooked great. This is a handy tool.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Suzanne12 from Disappointed I bought this to cook fish on the grill. The fish cooked ok. It was difficult and time consuming to wash because even with cooking spray the fish sticks to it and there is a lot of rungs to wash. After washing it just once with soapy water it started to rust and after the second use and wash it was so rusted it became unusable. I washed and dried it right away both times but it is hard to get in all corners of all the rungs. Next time I will use something different or just stick to tin foil. One other note, for this grill basket your fish needs to be cut to narrow pieces, there is a divider down the middle.

Rated 5 out of 5 by carol540 from Flexible Grill Basket This grill basket works great. I was able to grill my entire dinner; salmon and veggies all at once. Very easy clean up, too. Only issue is the handle gets hot so you need to use a hot pad for turning. I would recommend a fix to that from the designer/manufacturer.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Ebenmax92 from Grilling made easy My husband loves this grilling basket, especially when cooking tender meat items like salmon. It keeps the meat from crumbling or breaking apart on the grill. Be careful because the handle can get hot to touch! Overall a handy tool that encourages my husband to grill more and me to cook less!!

to be fair, it's hard to sift through a ton of barley in a shed

Hahaha yeah I'm a pretty bad speller. But... Umm... Yeah, you know there's probably some people here who don't know how to spell that, so could you say how to spell it. For them, definitely not me.

Why did you make the word barley a link to the wikipedia article?
[–]nitrous2401 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (2 children)
Because it gives a definition of barley as well as a picture
[–]Lugash 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (1 child)
Oh my God, I'm so sorry. I was high and didn't even realize the dude said barley up there. I just saw the next dude say it was hard to sift through a ton of barley and got confused. I thought his point was that barley would be more difficult to sift than other cereal grains. Sorry!

The Maine Senate voted in support of a compromise measure on Medicaid. The approach would allow the state to expand Medicaid eligibility under the Affordable Care Act for the three years, during which time the federal government will shoulder 100% of expansion costs, and then drop out of the expansion. At that time, the state could reconsider the issue.

""Designers were easy to work with and helped my customize. Shipping was fast and came exactly when expected, and items were great quality. My only tiny gripe is that the design seemed to have sparkle in it on the website, but when it arrived the glittered sections were not glittery, just printed to look as if they were. Not a big deal at all, but should be noted. Live chat was very helpful too.""
"We were able to make these cards our own! The staff worked efficiently to customize an enclosure card that included all the information we needed in a sleek and clear way. We customized colors to use blue and green. The water color effect is gorgeous! The printing and paper are wonderful! One side of our card included information for our website and directions to RSVP online, and the other side we used a custom map to help direct guests to our reception. This was a great option for us!"
"Since my wedding ceremony will be taking place during a week-long Caribbean cruise, I purchased this enclosure card to communicate "Cruise Information" such as cruise booking #s, contact information, group flight confirmation #s, and additional general cruise details. I also included a link "for more information" to our wedding website. The flexibility of this enclosure card made it easier to convey a lot of extra, unique wedding information to my less "computer familiar" guests."
"The online colors and images were exactly like the product. They were a perfect match for my theme colors. Personalizing was easy and the designers made adjustments for what I could not do online."
"Everything, including color and font was exactly as I wanted and ordered. Nothing was brighter/duller than the images on the company site. Highly recommended."

The Heroes that Were Pigeons
The Wattled Starling, Creatophora cinerea, is a nomadic resident in eastern and southern Africa. It is a species of grassland, open woodland and cultivation.
This is the only African starling which appears to show affinities with the Asian starlings, particularly the Sturnus genus. Its bare face patches and ability to open-bill feed in grassland are unique amongst African starlings.
It is the only member of the genus Creatophora.
This common species appears to be extending its range into West Africa, and has also occurred in Arabia, Madagascar and the Seychelles.
The Wattled Starling is 21 cm long, with a short tail and pointed wings. It has mainly grey plumage except for a white rump, and black flight feathers and tail.
The breeding male has a white shoulder patch and a distinctive head pattern, with unfeathered yellow skin, and black forehead and throat wattles. The extent to which these seasonal features develop increases with the age of the bird, and some old females may show a weaker version of this plumage.
The non-breeding male has a feathered head except for a small yellow patch behind the eye. There are no wattles, but there is a black moustachial stripe. The white shoulder patch is much reduced.
The female and juvenile plumages are similar to the non-breeding male, but the flight feathers and tail are brown.
The black flight and tail feathers and white rump make this species unmistakable in flight.
This species has a range of wheezing or grating calls comparable to those of the Common Starling, but the most familiar is a wheezing ssreeeeo.
The Wattled Starling is a colonial breeder, and may share its colonies with the Cape Weaver.
It always nests in trees or bushes, including acacias and eucalyptus at between 1 and 10 m above the ground. The globular nest is made from twigs and lined with grass or feathers.
The two to five, usually three or four, eggs are pale blue, immaculate or with some brown spots, and are laid before the dome of the nest is completed. Both sexes build the nest, incubate the eggs and feed the young.
The eggs hatch after 11 days, and the chicks leave the nest in another 13–16 days. They cannot fly, and suffer heavy predation from large birds of prey.
Breeding is linked to an abundant insect supply, and colonies will be abandoned, even with chicks in the nest, if, for example, locust swarms are destroyed by control measures.
The Wattled Starling is highly gregarious and will form large flocks, often with other starlings. Its reedbed roosts, which can be huge, may also be shared.
Like other starlings, the Wattled Starling is an omnivore, taking a wide range of invertebrates seeds and berries, but its diet is mainly insects including many locusts, leading to the local name "locust bird".
It will scavenge at rubbish heaps, and frequently perches on livestock, feeding on insects disturbed by the animals and also removing ectoparasites.

Life changed dramatically after they returned home. Larry Kwicinski was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and the prognosis was not favorable.
Adriana, with encouragement from her mother, Nanci Caldwell, decided to sing and record her first CD with four of her dad's favorite jazz songs as a Father's Day gift that he could listen to while undergoing chemotherapy.
In just nine short months, Larry Kwicinski lost his battle with cancer. He died on Feb. 18, 2006, at age 57.
Adriana and her mother decided they had to do something to help raise public awareness of the need for a breakthrough in pancreatic cancer treatment and early detection. Drawing on her musical talent and her first recording experience, Adriana made another CD — "Irreplaceable"— in San Jose and San Francisco recording studios.
The CD is dedicated to her dad, "the best dad any kid could ever imagine," she says. All proceeds go to PanCan, the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.
"When you take something you really love and combine it with something you're passionate about — a good cause — it makes one feel better," says Adriana, now 14 and a freshman at Menlo School.
She sings favorites such as "Cheek to Cheek," "Lullaby of Birdland," "Embraceable You" and "Three Little Words" on the CD, with accompaniment by well-known jazz musicians Larry Dunlap, piano; Seward McCain, bass; and Jim Zimmerman, drums.
"We chose songs that were her father's favorites and songs that were appropriate for a young girl," said Adriana's vocal coach Wendy McCain, a jazz singer and a faculty member of the Stanford Jazz Workshop.
Adriana's interest in jazz took off when she was in sixth grade at Portola Valley's Corte Madera School. Juliet Green, the school's music specialist, introduced Adriana to jazz and encouraged her to audition for "Panache," Corte Madera's vocal jazz group.
She was one of only two sixth-graders accepted. That summer she participated in the Stanford Jazz Workshop and was invited to perform at several events.
Ms. Green, who was in the studio during Adriana's first recording session, describes Adriana's voice as "very pure and natural, with perfect pitch. I appreciate that she always sounds like herself, not affected or imitative the way many young singers are.
"She is a great soloist, but also can blend with a group, which reflects her personality."
"Music is my number one focus," Adriana says. She sings soprano in the Lorelei, the chorus at Menlo School, practicing four times a week at school; practices four to five hours a week at home; and continues to study with Ms. McCain.
During spring break, she'll travel with the Menlo chorus on its tour to South America, with stops in Peru, Chile and Argentina.
In the CD jacket notes, Adriana said she made the recording because she wanted to do something that would make a difference. "If only we could find a treatment that was more effective at fighting cancer. ... Although it is too late for my family, it doesn't have to be for other families, and I want to do everything I can to help."

Winters Demo: A Sequence
I did another workshop in Winters –Paint the (small) Town– last weekend, and was wondering what to write about it. I only had a photo of the finished demo, and really, was there anything new and interesting to talk about? Hmmm.
That's when my friend Tony, who was in the workshop, let me know that he had these sequence shots of the demo. Aha! I've got my blog post!
OK, so we were situated in the park at the center of the town, and across the street was the famous Buckhorn restaurant, which was the subject of my demo. I had planned on doing a demo on structuring the painting with light and shadow patterns, but as luck would have it, the day was overcast. I had to switch gears quick and started to talk about working with local values; a little more difficult (I think) but hey, contending with the weather and the light conditions is the name of the game in plein air painting.
I started, as is typical, by doing a thumbnail sketch to nail down my composition. Experience tells me that by far, the biggest problem most students have is with their drawing. Sure, color, value, edges, design are all very important, but without good drawing, none of it matters. And yet, how many people actually practice drawing on a regular basis? I have a sketchbook in my car, so whenever I have a few minutes (waiting for my kids at the end of the school day, for example), I sketch whatever I can see.
But I digress. Here I'm showing a few basic things to help students get a more accurate drawing. How to find the eye level / horizon and the vanishing point, starting with a simple visual element and using that as a unit of measurement, and just plain slowing down and being careful about angles and alignments. Angles and alignments are SO EASY to get right, (just hold your brush at an arm's length and line it up with whatever angle or alignment you're trying to draw) there really isn't any excuse for not doing a fair job at it. You just have to slow down and take some care doing it. Just because it's a plein air painting and the light is fleeting, one may be tempted to rush through this thumbnail process. But the truth is, ten minutes spent on thumbnails will save you a lot of time and unnecessary grief on the canvas and very possibly the painting.
Pay no attention to the thumbnail at the top. That's from another class. One method I employ a lot is to just start drawing on paper and find the cropping afterwards. At least for the first thumbnail. It's a lot easier and faster to do it this way, especially when dealing with man-made, tricky-to-draw things.
Here's my transparent block-in. This is basically a three value organization. The sky is the lightest, most of the building that is receiving a lot of ambient light is medium, and areas which get much less ambient light are indicated with a darker value. Keeping it waaay simple, is THE key. How simple can I get, and still be able to tell what it is?
I don't remember why there's an X in the sky. I might have just been saying "The sky, right here, (draw x) is going to be the light value, so I'm just going to use the white of the canvas."
Next I move on to opaque colors and block in the big shapes, right on top of the transparent block-in. I am trying to maintain the value organization, but am also aware of shifts in values that define structure, so if that seems like an important element, I go ahead and put it in at this early stage. (the awning is now blocked in with two values, whereas it was only one in the transparent stage)
Blocking in all the other big elements. Again, trying very hard to maintain the original value organization and keeping it simple.
After all the areas are blocked in, I start working with smaller shapes, subtler variations within the big shapes, manipulating edges, tweaking colors, refining harmonies, etc. etc.
If the original organization was sound, the viewer doesn't need more information to understand what it is he or she is looking at. So any additional stuff you put in – in this case the plants and the hydrant and window trim and all that detail – helps to make the painting more complete, but the painting shouldn't be dependent on these small details to define the foundation of the structure.
Thanks for taking these photos Tony! I owe you a beer.
9 comments:
I'm very green if it comes to plein air painting (still getting the hang of it) and I must say that doing thumbs will drastically decrease the tendency to want to put too much information on a painting. Sometimes, being selective in what to paint is also where creativity is required. Thumbnail sketches are an excellent tool to come to a creative composition.
Great to see this confirmed by a pro :)

Fishing is enormously important
in Alaska's economic and political life. It is related to
many issues that Harriman's expedition encountered and
debated, and many that the Retraced expedition has met as
well. I wanted to talk about salmon and halibut because they
are among the most important fishes for commercial,
subsistence, and recreational fishing. They have fascinating
life histories and illustrate so many problems of resource
management. Halibut are enormous flatfish;
they can weigh as much as 800 pounds, and 100-pounders are
common. They are related to the flounders and soles commonly
found in fish markets and restaurants. When they hatch from
eggs, about a third of an inch long, they are symmetrical,
like other fishes, but soon part of their skull rotates,
bringing one eye with it, and the fish changes into a very
asymmetrical animal that has both of its eyes on the same
side of its head. They are important in the Native American
cultures of the west coast, and often are seen in the art of
the Haida and Tlingit peoples. The overall fishing effort is
managed by an international commission (United States and
Canada) that has prevented overfishing; halibut populations
are strong. But many people wanted to catch halibut, and as
more and more fished for them, the open season for them got
shorter and shorter to prevent overfishing. Finally, each
"opening" lasted only about 24 hours. The result was a mad
race for the fish. If the opening came on a day with bad
weather, then the fishermen were in danger. Some died and
boats were lost as well. To solve this problem, a system
was put in place that gave each fisherman who had fished for
halibut in recent years a quota amounting to a percentage of
the total allowable catch, that is, the safe catch
determined by the commission. The quotas can be bought and
sold (with limits on how many can be accumulated by one
person). Nobody without a quota could fish for halibut
commercially. The system did prevent the mad race for fish
and did make life easier for the fishermen who had quotas.
But the quota system is controversial because it appears to
give ownership of a public resource to only a few people,
even though the quota is legally defined as not being a
property right. Despite the controversy over the
system of allocation of access to the fish, management has
succeeded in keeping strong halibut populations, largely
because of the commitment to scientific management from the
beginning. The case of salmon in Alaska has been different.
All five species of salmon that live in Alaska have an
unusual life history. The eggs hatch in fresh water where
the young fish grow; later they undergo complex
physiological changes to allow them to go to sea where they
live for one to seven years depending on species and other
variables. They then return to the stream where they were
hatched (a few individuals do stray to other streams). There
they spawn to complete the cycle and they die. This life
cycle makes for predictable salmon runs and allows
communities to establish themselves where these abundant
resources appear each summer and fall. It also makes them
more vulnerable to fishing because it isn't necessary to go
to sea to catch them. When Harriman's expedition
arrived in 1899, exploitation of salmon was just beginning.
The first Alaskan canneries had been established in 1878.
Yet already expedition scientist George Bird Grinnell wrote
of overexploitation and warned that if the fishing went
unchecked, the salmon would be sorely depleted. Others had
made similar warnings. The problem was that a few large
companies in San Francisco and Seattle dominated the fishing
and because of the gear used -- fixed fish traps -- the
companies had great control of the fishery. They set traps
in the best places (usually near river mouths where the
salmon returned from the sea to spawn) and were able to
exclude small Alaskan operators and Natives from fishing
there. Although there were regulations,
they were not based on science or even on traditional
knowledge. Because Alaska was not a state and had only a
nonvoting delegate in Congress, Alaskan residents were
unable to influence regulations in their favor. The powerful
fishing interests from down south were able to influence
those regulations, and they made sure that the regulations
did not interfere too seriously with their ability to catch
as many fish as they wanted. By the 1930s, the amount of
fish canned reached a maximum of more than 8 million cases.
But the resource was already in trouble and the production
of fish declined after that; by the time Alaska became a
state in 1959, only about 1.5 million cases of salmon were
produced. Alaskans tried for many years,
even decades, to get rid of the traps, because those traps
allowed the Seattle and San Francisco companies to control
fishing and keep the locals out. Alaska's failure to
influence regulations, coupled with reduced fish production,
was among the major factors leading to statehood in 1959.
And as soon as Alaska became a state, the hated fish traps
were abolished. Alaska committed itself to
science-based salmon management and over the following
decades things improved. By the mid-1990s, salmon production
was higher than it had ever been and yet the populations
were not being overexploited. But other problems arose. One
concerned subsistence, an important aspect of Native
culture. This complex subject has a long history and I won't
go into it here, but in brief, a conflict arose between a
federal law that provided for a rural preference for
subsistence, and Alaska's constitution, which guarantees
equal access for all Alaskans to subsistence resources.
Despite attempts by Alaska's congressional delegation and
the federal government, this conflict could not be resolved
as of 2001 by amending Alaska's constitution, and as a
result, management of subsistence resources on federal lands
in Alaska has been taken over by the federal government. It
is ironic that after the struggle for statehood, the state
has been unable to resolve this problem and thus has had to
give up control of salmon management in much of the state to
the federal government again. Of course, with a powerful
voting delegation in Congress, Alaska has much more power
than it did before statehood. So the kind of disregard for
local interests and the resource that characterized the
per-statehood era is most unlikely. What does the future hold?
Farmed salmon have been competing with wild-caught salmon in
restaurants and markets and have depressed prices. In
1999-2001, the salmon runs in Bristol Bay (western Alaska)
have been far lower than expected and than recent runs, for
reasons not yet understood. Allocation problems have not
gone away, and -- as is true with halibut -- recreational
fishing continues to grow in importance and its potential
for competition for those resources with commercial fishing.
The subsistence problem, which is a major political issue in
Alaska, has not been solved. Finally, the climate -- as it
always has -- continues to change, and along with it, the
productivity of the ocean for salmon and other species
changes as well. But I am optimistic that the pieces are in
place for solutions, and that salmon and halibut management
in Alaska will continue to be challenging, interesting, and
ultimately a window on the many facets of Alaska that made
it so exciting to Harriman's expedition and to

After a long stint as one of Britain's formost intelligent techno DJs, Mark Broom began working on production as well, recording an LP with Black Dog's Ed Handley and Andy Turner as Repeat. He founded several crucial labels - Pure Plastic, Rewired, Unexplored Beats and 3 Zone, plus Ifach with Peter "Baby" Ford - and began recording as a solo concern with a lock on streamlined ambient-techno as well as the more rhythmically dextrous sound of Handley/Turner's later offshoot, Plaid.
Broom had begun hanging out with the trio Black Dog as early as 1990, DJing at their gigs and, by 1995, recording with Ed Handley and Andy Turner as Repeat. The first Repeat release, 1995's "Repeats LP", made Broom's name as a producer as well as a DJ and he began recording on his own with singles for GPR, Ferox, New Electronica and Cosmic. His debut album "Angie Is a Shoplifter" appeared in 1996, alongside a wealth of material recorded under a dizzying variety of aliases - Kape I'll Miester, Sympletic, Ted Howler Rhythm Combo, Kruton and (again with Handley and Turner) Eco Tourist. Broom has also provided remixes for Psychick Warriors Ov Gaia, Ken Ishii and Nicolette.

1. Re: Excel sheet in JavaFx Controls
jsmith Feb 8, 2013 5:54 PM (in response to 990074)What do you mean by open?
a) An embedded Microsoft Word editing control.
b) An embedded Microsoft Word viewing control with copy paste highlight/text search etc.
c) A bitmap image view of the document with no highlighting/editing/copy paste facility.
d) something else. -
2. Re: Excel sheet in JavaFx Controls
990074 Feb 8, 2013 6:07 PM (in response to jsmith)Yeah, the requirement is to open an embedded ms-word control to edit....
Pls let me know how to do that if there is a way?
Thanks for your reply. -
3. Re: Excel sheet in JavaFx Controls
aidreamer Feb 8, 2013 7:43 PM (in response to 990074)It isn't going to be easy. I doubt you have the time to write your own word parser, so your best bet would be to find some 3rd party library. Java Microsoft word libraries probably already exist, but I doubt anyone has written anything to display it in JavaFX, so you will have to integrate it yourself. -
4. Re: Excel sheet in JavaFx Controls
aidreamer Feb 8, 2013 7:51 PM (in response to aidreamer)Alternatively, I'm pretty sure there are ways to export documents to HTML. Would it be possible for you to do that before loading them in Java? If so, you could try using WebView. Of course, you wouldn't be able to edit very well.
