@wiredtree My shiny new Pure SSD VPS upgrade is wicked fast! Thanks for all your help migrating this past weekend.
— Danny Englander (@Danny_Englander) April 6, 2015
I host multiple high-traffic websites with WiredTree and it has been the
hands down best experience I have ever had with a hosting company. From
day one, they helped me migrate my sites over and their support team has
consistently gone above and beyond the call of duty to help me out whenever
I need it or if I simply have a question about what's going on with my
setup. Their support team is ultra-responsive, extremely knowledgeable and
answers emails and phone calls almost instantly, which gives me so much of
peace of mind since I am not tech saavy at all! And of course, their
servers are powerful and lightning fast, serving a few million pageviews to
us every year.
I highly recommend WiredTree to anyone looking for robust managed hosting.
You'll be in good hands.

Best of World Cup photographs… so far.Damian Greene Published in Blog
Rob Galbraith does a remarkable job of pointing to great collections of photography online, and one of his favorite sources has also become one of mine—the Boston Globe's Big Picture. Over the weekend, the Big Picture photo blog featured a gallery of phenomenal images from the biggest sporting event in the world at the moment, the World Cup. With so many opportunities for stunning sports action photography, what's most interesting to me about the collection is how many of the images capture human moments surrounding the on-field action—athletes reacting with thrill and agony, fans expressing the same emotions, and generally the spectacle that draws the world's focus for a few weeks every four years. It's a great collection of images that work both to give a great picture of the event so far and as a model for aspiring photojournalists: sometimes the best way to tell the story is to turn your camera away from the obvious shots and look for something more.

What do you suggest then?
Stick with what you enjoy. Each ROM base will have it's negatives. I'd use most functional ROM. Battery life isn't a mystery. Your display time of under two hours must have been very heavy use. One thing I've noticed with kl1 base is initially and few days after it always posts great battery results then after things settle it posts noticeably lesser battery life.

Milwaukee Music Video: See Charles Walker Band's treatment for "Hope"
The Charles Walker Band has had a couple of bad breaks lately. It's November release show at Marcus Center for last year's "Relentless" was canceled at the last minute, and then the rescheduled gig at G-Daddy's BBC Jan. 12 had to contend with a Packers playoff game night.
But those bad breaks don't stop the fact that the Milwaukee group has a really fun, party-starting new funk album on its hands. You might have seen a couple of performances when the band stopped by the Journal Sentinel offices for our Sound Check series, but now it has an official music video for "Relentless" track "Hope."

Great Care at Acacia Cat Hospital
I have been bringing my cats in to Acacia for over 20 years now and have always received the best care possible. Everyone from the office staff to the technicians to the doctors are very caring and thorough. Even though I have moved much further away, I wouldn't consider going anywhere else. My latest visit was for a spay surgery on a stray kitten that I picked up. She was starving and simply skin and bones when I got her. She is now a healthy weight and fitting in with my other 2 adopted cats. The surgery was done by Dr. Westhof with her usual excellent skill. The staff made sure I knew what to watch for in case of any complications (there were none) and I received a follow up phone call to check in on her progress. I am always happy to know that my four footed members of the family will be treated with the greatest of care and concern on all of their visits. I have recommended VCA Tri-City/Acacia in the past and will continue to do so.

I love words and catchy phrases. I especially like the following letter from a man named Robert Pirosh applying for a job requiring verbal skills.
"Gentlemen, I like fat, buttery words such as ooze, turpitude, glutinous and toady. I like solemn, angular, creaky words such as strait-laced, cantankerous, penurious and valedictory. I like spurious, gold-plated, black-and-white words such as gentlefolk, mortician, freelancer or mistress. I like suave "V" words as Svengali, svelte, bravura and verve. I like crunchy, brittle, crackly words such as splinter, grapple, jostle and crusty. I like sullen, crabbed, scowling words such as skulk, glower, scabby and churl. I like Oh-heavens, my-gracious, land's-sake words such as tricky, tucker, genteel and horrid. I like pretty-pretty, flowered endimanche words such as elegant, halcyon, Elysium and artiste. I like wormy, squirmy, mealy words such as crawl, blubber, squeal and drip. I like sniggly, chuckling words such as cowlick, gurgle, bubble and burp. I like words. May I have a few with you?"
I asked a woman in her 90's named Margaret recently what her secret of life was and she had a terrific phrase. She said you have to "pray, grunt and giggle." I like her phrase much better than the popular "eat, pray, love." Margaret is so right.
Pray – I can't imagine a day without prayer. I open and close each day with prayer. Prayer is the relationship between each person and their Higher Power. We cannot approach prayer as we do everything else in our instant gratification society. There are no prayer pills or enlightenment capsules.
Any relationship is a process, not a momentary event with an instantaneous outcome. It builds with repeated contact and dialogue. With give and take, prayer is our honesty encountering God and our openness hearing God expressed on God's terms. Like any relationship, prayer includes all our feelings – anger, fear and mistrust, as well as generosity, goodwill and gratitude. Gradually, we see the events of our lives through the wisdom and detachment our spiritual relationship provides.
Grunt – How can we measure all the pain and grief we feel, and how can we put up with it? Doesn't the grief of death weigh a ton or more? Doesn't it stretch out to a month, a year, or longer still? Is the grief of failure lighter than the grief of despair, but maybe longer? Isn't the grief of emptiness the heaviest of all? Whether we try to ignore or make light of it, our grief, like a ton of feathers or a ton of rocks, is all the same to us. We need to grunt. Grief shared is grief spared. If we lock our grief in, it will weigh more on us and lengthen out. If we open our hearts with grunting, weeping and words, others will help carry it away.
Giggle – Comedy is a gift of the human spirit. Sometimes it is the only weapon we have against official absurdity. When I die and anyone thinks about it, rather than a moment of silence, I'd much prefer a moment of giggle and laughter.
Sharing play is sometimes the only way we can touch another human being. Let us be grateful for the gift of true humor wherever we encounter it. It gives us strength to continue. As Oscar Wilde said, "Life is too important to be taken seriously." Phyllis Diller adds, "A smile is a curve that sets everything straight."
Sometimes the current spirituality scene or the quest for meaning in self-help books can be overwhelming. Sometimes it's refreshing to have a simple formula for your soul like "Pray, Grunt & Giggle." Thanks again, Margaret.

Wine and CanvasRead MoreThe artists at Wine and Canvas awaken their students' inner Rembrandts and Van Goghs with classes that pair a featured painting with specialty cocktails and wines. The mobile studio's monthly calendar includes themed classes in which instructors expound on the nuances of painting Parisian street lamps, Japanese flowers, or Venetian cityscapes. The master painters—many of them local artists—provide step-by-step instructions while students mimic each stroke and periodically dip their brushes into glasses filled with crimson cabernet. Each of the studio's various drink-friendly venues boasts a specialty libation selected to incite creativity or conversations with fellow painters. When the artistic frenzy concludes, students return home with a finished masterpiece large enough to conceal any wall safe or mirror portal.3911 Durham-Chapel Hill Blvd.Durham, NC US
Global Breath StudioRead MoreStudents should bring: Yoga mat (studio mats available), water bottle, towel. Average class length: 60–90 minutes Number of Staff: 1–5 people Class location: Indoors only Established: 2013 Good for beginners: Yes Parking: Free street parking Pro Tip: Please try to arrive about 15 minutes before class. Leave your shoes & your worries at the door :) Although Global Breath Studio's home warehouse isn't nearly as old as yoga, it's still a historic building, built in the 1890s. Sunlight shines through its huge windows onto an eclectic array of yoga classes. They include 7:30 a.m. Wake Up! classes, to help start days right, specialized workshops on Yoga, Anatomy & Movement, and all-level classical/ashtanga classes. The team rounds out their offerings with mindfulness counseling and teacher trainings, for those who wish to take their practice to the next level. The "global" in Global Breath Studio stems from the yoga center's nonprofit branch, LiveGlobally, which funds international public-interest projects—most recently, education at the Ingrid School in Kenya and a documentary about the institution. A portion of the proceeds from the center's yoga classes benefit LiveGlobally, and the same goes for the proceeds from its shop, stocked with ecofriendly yoga mats and jewelry.119 W Main Street Suite 300Durham, NC US
Glass ClassRead MoreWhile working as an art teacher at a public school in St. Louis, Glass Class's owner, Christal Cerrone, began her journey into the world of glass by repairing the stained-glass windows of local theaters and historic buildings. A move to San Francisco presented Christal with the opportunity to further hone her skills, and she began to create stained-glass windows for homes, memorials, and tricked-out family station wagons. Twenty-three years later, with work featured on HGTV's That's Clever!, the art educator in Christal still shines through as she teaches kids and adults to make their own masterpieces with materials including dichroic glass and metals. The custom creations that emerge from Christal's studio can be both decorative and functional. Classes include all required materials for possible projects, such as necklaces, lamps, or life-size replicas of the Louvre pyramid. In addition to classes, a lineup of camps for kids aged 9 and older help youngsters to master diamond tools and work with glass.41 Wilhelm Dr.Durham, NC US
My Yoga - w/ Parent AccountRead MoreMy Yoga uses an infrared heat system, the same system used in high-end spa and saunas, to directly heat student's bodies instead of the air around them, providing the opportunity for deeper detox and greater health benefits. The instructors may work solely in the realm of hot yoga, but that doesn't mean their classes are all the same. They lead seven styles of hot yoga classes, including the classic 26-pose series. They also teach the Barkan method—which incorporates standing poses, floor poses, and Vinyasa movements—hot power yoga, and hot Vinyasa. To help students ease into the practice, My Yoga offers a beginner's series at a lower temperature. As students work up a sweat and sink more deeply into stretches as the weeks progress, they gradually increase the studio temperature to 105 degrees for all 75 to 90 minutes of class. However, they make an exception for warm yoga, which offers a slower pace in cooler temperatures, making it ideal for for yetis and those recovering from an intense session.1415 NC Highway 54 WDurham, NC US
ReCharge Pilates and BarreRead MoreIn its mission to elevate students to another level of physical and mental balance, ReCharge Pilates and Barre doesn't reject its environment. Instead, it embraces it. Featuring colored mood lighting, power-tower wall gyms, and bamboo floors, the studio surrounds students with a minimal space. Here, classes blend the techniques of Pilates and barre fitness, and occasionally incorporate other exercise styles. Much like these classes, ReCharge's owner, Sloan Rachmuth, draws from several disciplines. The Stott Pilates?certified instructor's passion for wellness has led her to study psychology at Harvard, develop a clinical weight-loss program, and open more than one fitness studio.3515 Witherspoon Blvd.,Durham, NC US
GymboreeRead MoreIn 1976, busy California mother Joan Barnes wanted nothing more than to find a play place where she and her kids could enjoy age-appropriate, educational activities. Finding none, she developed her own innovative play environment within a developmental-based program structure now known as Gymboree Play & Music. Today, kids tumble and learn in more than 650 locations in 33 countries around the world, engaging in open play and classes designed to build cognitive and motor skills. As parents participate in their child's development, their kids learn to paint, play music, and interact socially outside of their preschool knitting circles.3515 Witherspoon BlvdDurham, NC US

This post is for all my home circuit workout babies out there!
This list was requested by a few of my teammates over on the 30 Day Shred / Shred-It team over at SparkPeople.com. I have put together a recommendations list of all of the circuit workout DVDs I own and perform because they work (helps to burn fat, build muscle definition) AND I love circuit workouts over any type of workout out there (I still do other types though). These are just my recommendations for those of you who workout at home.
What is a circuit workout? Circuit workouts (my own definition from almost 2 years of experience with performing them) are workouts that incorporate both strength exercises and cardio moves (to keep the heart rate up to aid in continuous calorie burn. Most circuit workouts call for low weight (15lbs or less) and high repetitions (15+) in the strength portions of the workouts. This type of workout decreases body fat while toning the muscles at the same time, builds muscle endurance (trains your muscles to work for long periods of time) and increases cardiovascular and respiratory health (trains you to keep physically moving for long periods of time without stopping out of breath). Some circuit workouts out there increases agility levels as well (plyometrics) and a lot of them do incorporate some forms of plyo in them which is a plus. Circuit workouts will not bulk you up (build large amounts of muscle mass) or make you look masculine (if you're a femal) - it does the opposite. Circuits creates a very lovely physique (muscle tone, shapes, lifts, defines, etc.) where you earn curves or where your "real curves" shines through. An example of a circuit workout is the very well known - 30 DAY SHRED - of course (still my favorite).
Just to make note, not all workouts will fit with the person working out to them so it's wise to view all workouts well by watching the previews and reading full descriptions before you purchase any of them. I personally love all of my workouts (circuits and all - except for one that I reviewed on here just recently) and they were all carefully chosen to be added into my fitness DVD collection. I should have rated them by level in the spreadsheet, but the levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced) can be found on any one of the two websites I mention in the notes part of the spreadsheet.
Click here to download the spreadsheet (.xlsx) - circuitrecs-2010-sept-1a…
…and I hope this helps out anyone who wants to perform circuits or who currently incorporates circuit workouts into their routines to reach their fitness goals.

iLoveKickboxing.comRead MoreKickboxing classes deliver a knee to the face of fat, burning up to 860 calories an hour with the high-energy striking moves of martial arts and boxing. All four limbs get in on the bag-bludgeoning action at iLoveKickboxing as each class provides a full-body workout that tones arm, leg, and tentacle muscles while tightening the body?s core and improving balance.

Doctors Dziedzic and Dziedzic MedicalRead MoreDr. Ingeborg Dziedzic and her husband, Dr. John Dziedzic, both studied at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Ingeborg received her medical degree from the school, and John completed his fellowship in neuropathology there after receiving his PhD in biochemistry at Fordham University. Both continue to practice the specialties that launched their medical careers—ophthalmology and anesthesiology respectively—though they've expanded their practice to encompass new territories of treatment and more wall space for framed diplomas. Patients seek out the knowledgeable couple for everything from laser vision correction to cosmetic procedures such as Botox or Radiesse, and spa services such as microdermabrasion. The Dziedzics also stock a wide variety of natural supplements to holistically improve health, and guide patients through weight-loss programs supplemented by HCG, and can test for specific food allergies with ALCAT blood testing to pinpoint causes of fatigue, skin reactions, or milk-related night terrors.320 Manville Rd.Pleasantville, NY US
United Martial Arts CentersRead MoreWhen Paul Melella, Jr. was seven years old, he was the target of a neighborhood bully. Eventually, Paul's mother enrolled him in martial arts classes. For six months, Paul secretly studied the art of tae kwon do, until one day, he finally had the courage to stand up to his bully. Not only did the boy stop picking on Paul, they became good friends. In fact, Paul was even the best man at his wedding years later, where he helped out by cutting the cake with one swift roundhouse kick. Paul established the Carmel branch of United Martial Arts Centers in 1996 to help others attain the same self-confidence and lifelong benefits that he found practicing martial arts as a child. Today, Paul is just one of UMAC's many professional instructors who lead programs for children, adults, and families at five different locations. Despite their different addresses, each of UMAC's locations sports the same positive atmosphere and spirit that comes from students working together toward a common goal.528 N State Rd.Briarcliff Manor, NY US
SPINSATIONAL Fitness StudioRead MoreBarry Coleman studied the sciences of kinesis and indoor cycling separately, before deciding to combine the two into a single full-body form of exercise at Spinsational Fitness Studio. Beyond the gym's green awnings stand rooms packed from wall to wall with stationary bikes, ready to bear riders on a journey to better fitness. Some rooms remain conspicuously empty of the equipment, more frequently used for Bokwa and jump rope classes. Barry fuels each form of exercise with complimentary waters and fresh pieces of fruit for all his students. Barry's classes don't just lead to better health for his clients, though. He gives back to the community by hosting events like the Briarcliff Cancer Spinathon, organized by 13-year-old Jordana Cohen to replace the Pediatric Cancer Club's cancelled annual bike-a-thon to raise money for cancer research.450 N State Rd.Briarcliff Manor, NY US
Raymond Opticians of WestchesterRead MoreRaymond A. Kolkmann founded Raymond Opticians in 1959, prior to the advent of advanced lens technology, and consequently perfected his ability to pair patients with their optimal prescriptions. He later passed this skill to his three sons, who, in turn, imparted the art of optometry to their own sons through careful instruction and basic osmosis. Today, Raymond Opticians' third generation of ocular outfitters benefits from not only the techniques and standards developed by Raymond Sr., but also from modern lens technology, such as Varilux lenses that help correct vision problems and Transitions, which darken when outside. After examining and diagnosing each patient's eye issues, the doctors help them select from a vast array of designer frames and sunglasses by Oakley, Prada, and Versace.226 South Highland Ave.Ossining, NY US

Dwight Howard played his first NBA minutes during Sunday's preseason game between the Lakers and the Kings. Howard had a decent Lakers debut scoring 19 points, pulling down 12 rebounds and blocking 4 shots. But as expected, all of his game isn't completely there yet. Namely, the part of his rebounding game where he can effectively box-out his man. Kings rookie Thomas Robinson took advantage of that fact by catching one off the rim and dunking it on Howard's head. [@jose3030] The post Thomas Robinson welcomed back Dwight Howard to the NBA on Sunday by dunking on him first appeared on No Guts, No Glory.

I have been playing with the Facebook iOS API the past days and I got some questions. If I have two distinct view controllers that both need to use the Facebook object how should I share the object? And is it necessary to share it at all? I have been thinking of making a singleton. What I thought of doing was making a class "SocialMedia" that has a class method named "sharedFacebook".
Then I have another class named PREFIXFacebook where I conform to the session protocol and make an object. This class has an attribute named facebook. Then I instantiate this class in the SocialMedia class and send the method "facebook" to it and assign the returned object to the static Facebook variable in SocialMedia. Is that bad design? I have not been doing much singletons before, and I don't even know if it is necessary, but I don't want to duplicate the code.
Another approach would be to do this in the app delegate, but I read a post here on stack overflow and heard in one of the stanford iOS videos that it is bad to do such things with the global. Any thoughts?

The Fast Pitch
Midwest Music Foundation's Sondra Freeman breaks down Boulevard's 10 percent for KC deal
Natalie Gallagher
October 07, 2013
2 comments
Photo courtesy of www.brewbound.com
Since it was established in 2008, Midwest Music Foundation has been aiming to change the way musicians live. At its core, the fundamental belief of the organization is that musicians provide the community with something invaluable, and they need assistance from time to time in order to continue creating music. In layman's terms, MMF wants to give musicians access to things like, say, health insurance, which is a novel idea for anyone, really.
To help musicians, though, MMF must first help itself. After nearly six years as an organization, MMF is still without a permanent home base - its five members and numerous volunteers have no office to speak of.
Boulevard's new 10 percent for KC Pils promotion may be the helping hand that MMF is looking for. The city's leading brewery has just announced that Midwest Music Foundation was selected to take part in the second quarter of their contest. Three charities promote KC Pils and compete, so to speak, for votes in order to get a percentage of the profits from the sales of Pilsner for that quarter.
The Pitch
spoke with MMF Director of Promotions Sondra Freeman about the specifics of the contest and what it could mean for the nonprofit.
The Pitch
: Tell me about the 10 percent for KC Pils promotion. How does it work, exactly?
: This is the second quarter that Boulevard is doing the "10 percent for KC." It takes 10 percent of profit of the sales of KC Pils and donates that to a local charity, and they do it quarterly. KC Pet Project won the first quarter. So Boulevard chooses three local KC charities per quarter. This quarter is October 1 through December 31, and the charities are just charged with promoting KC Pils and themselves through the quarter. Then there's the online voting, where people can go on and vote for one of the three charities. The one that receives the most votes online for the quarter receives 60 percent of the money from the "10 percent for KC" and the other two charities each split the remaining pool.
That's a lot of math. In terms of what this means for the Midwest Music Foundation ...
Well, even if we only get one of the 20 percent cuts, that's still substantial money for us. We've embarked on a massive campaign for this - we've got a video team shooting promotion for KC Pils, we've got 20 events coming up that we've contacted that are willing to help us promote KC Pils. ... We have three events specifically designed around the KC Pils promotion where you have to vote to get in - you don't pay, you have to vote on your smartphone and show that at the door to get in. It's really just turned into a big thing. We've always had a great relationship with Boulevard; they've always supported us.
That sounds like a lot of work for one contest. What do you mean when you say the money would be "substantial"?
From what I understand from their press release, the people that received the 60 percent last quarter got $20,000. That's a lot of money for us. The other charities that are involved are First Downs for Down Syndrome, and their operating budget is $6 million a year. They have huge resources. The other charity is Synergy, and their operating budget is $8 million.
Last year, our operating budget was $50,000. That money [from the 60 percent] would
change the way Midwest Music Foundation operates. It would change us as an organization. After five, almost six years of plugging away at this, we're still grassroots. We've grown tremendously, but that kind of money would take us to a position. We would be able to pay grant writers to try to get more grants to develop projects that have only been a sparkle in our eye.
What kind of projects are you guys hoping to get off the ground?
At some point, we would like to have an actual brick and mortar. Right now, we store our supplies and things at various places amongst the five of us. At my office, we have all of our CDs, and Rhonda and I carry around our event supplies just in our trunks. We don't have a brick and mortar place that is the Midwest Music Foundation, and that's something we'd like to work on. We need grants to do that. That's not something we'd ever be able to do at the level we are at.
We'd also prefer to be more than just an office space. We'd like it to be a place for musicians, we'd like to be able to provide tangible services for them. We do the educational seminars with lawyers and accountants, and we do another one with media and radio personalities, that kind of thing, to help musicians learn about copyright laws and getting their music out there and on the radio, and we'd like to have a place to do those seminars ourselves instead of having to piggyback off other events. Being part of this [10 percent for KC] could help us get to the next level.

- powder surface velocity;

- impeller speed;
An existing method to measure particle velocity is particle image velocimetry which requires presence of tracer materials. This method of contrast enhancement is not always applicable in an industrial setting. Therefore a method to assess the movement of small, structures has been introduced, called powder surface velocimetry (PSV). The principle of PSV is to follow the movement of small structures on the surface of the powder bed. The displacement of the structure is correlated with velocity. The rate of the blade of a blender was quantified to assess the validity of PSV. Next the powder surface velocity of lactose 100 M was measured by PSV and was found to be in line with expected values and flow regimes. © 2011 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2012
