Chilling at a theatre near you
I came across an interesting article in the Toronto Star. Apparently, your choice in film can affect your comfort in the theater. And we're not talking about size of screen and number of seats. Science was never my best subject in school so I clearly hadn't thought about how temperature in a room depends on the number of people in it.
Have you ever gone to a movie – say, Nancy Drew or Hostel: Part II or some other box-office dud – only to find yourself sadly alone and even more surprisingly, freezing your ju-jubes off?
I recently attended one so-called blockbuster and within the first 15 action-filled minutes, I slowly began shivering until my mind drifted off, focused on only one thing: the woolly cardigan in my closet at home.
Of course, cool theatres are part of the appeal of going to the movies in summer. The relieving chill of air conditioning in a dark theatre can be a soothing break from sweltering, smoggy, 35-degree Ontario heat waves.
But sometimes cinema houses are so cold I wonder if the theatre is trying to beef up their revenue by hanging meat in the projectionist's booth.

The new concert venue or the new television?
When the Metropolitan Opera announced last year that some of its productions were going to be beamed to movie theaters, you could count me as one of the skeptics. With attendance down, an artform that's rather commercially stuck in the past didn't seem like the proper antidote.
Then, I realized exactly how little I know about anything. I started hearing about packed houses all across the country. Even the more modern pieces were drawing well. Now,Playbill Arts just announced that the Met will be beefing up its schedule even more this year.
The Metropolitan Opera is set to present its high-definition simulcasts on up to 400 movie screens in the United States during the coming season — nearly triple the number of venues from last season.
The company announced today a renewed and extended deal with National CineMedia (NCM) to present the live Saturday afternoon broadcasts at between 300 and 400 cinemas across the country. The operas will be shown at participating AMC, Cinemark, Georgia Theater Company, National Amusements and Regal theaters; according to the Met and NCM, more affiliate locations are being added to NCM's digital high-definition network.
The movie theater simulcasts were seen as a bold but risky venture when the Met launched them last season. In the event, they proved an enormous success, with more locations and screens being added over the course of the year and repeat presentations added at some locations. The program attracted press coverage all over the world, and the broadcasts themselves were extended during the season from the U.S., Canada and Great Britain to seven countries on three continents.
Good for them. It's great to see not only supporting their local movie theaters, but opera as well. What does this mean for the future of movie theaters though? With a more obscure idea like this working, what will come next?
August 3, 2007
Bitter about the price of your local theater? Sick of all that noise from annoying patrons? Want to go to a place where you can see a quality film on the big screen?
With all these expectations, why give your local theater a chance when you can DIY it! A new craze called MobMov (short for mobile movie) is catching like wildfire all over the world. Clubs of people in different cities bring a projector to a random location containing a large wall, usually an abandoned warehouse, and literally create a drive-in experience. I'd never even heard of it before I read this story in the San Francisco Chronicle.
The crescent moon over the Bay Bridge was a stunning twinkle of lights through the windshield, but all eyes were sharply focused on the flickering projections on the warehouse wall. We're parked in a vacant lot in what must remain an undisclosed S.F. location. We are MobMov for the next few hours – a brief and nerdy flash mob of drive-in enthusiasts gathered to view the night's feature presentation from the comfort of our bucket seats.
With bags of popcorn and Hot Tamales on the dashboard, about 15 cars nestle like sardines and tuned to the same radio frequency – the short-term sound system that serves as the modern-day speaker attached to the window ledge from drive-ins of years ago. The other reminder that this isn't 1957: As we prepare for the feature presentation, the projected image is the familiar interface of Microsoft Windows, and the whole event is being fueled by the car battery of a Toyota RAV4.
Has anyone been to these? Does it indeed preserve the experience like they say it does?

Thanks, mom
Are you kidding me? So I was reading this New York Times article about Disney for the most part banning cigarette smoking in their films. It'll be completely banished from their family films and discouraged from their others.
Disney's action comes amid increasing pressure from advocacy groups and regulators for media companies to purge movies of cigarettes. In May, the Motion Picture Association of America announced that portrayals of smoking would be considered alongside sex and violence in assessing the suitability of movies for young viewers. Films that appear to glamorize smoking will risk a more restrictive rating.
Mr. Iger said in a letter to Representative Edward J. Markey, Democrat of Massachusetts, dated July 25 that Disney would also "discourage depictions of cigarette smoking" in pictures released by its Touchstone and Miramax units. Last month, Mr. Markey, chairman of the subcommittee on telecommunications, held hearings on the effects of movie images on children.
Now, let me get this straight. I'm not about to advocate cigarette smoking in any way, much less in a medium that touches millions. My problem is with the idea that this is being addressed in this manner.

All hail the pirate slayer!
One of the hot topics on this site has always been the importance of maintaining a premium moviegoing experience. Even if that doesn't always amount to superior sight, sound and seats, I think we'll all agree that helpful employees is a big part of reaching that next level.
Talk of the quality of the average theater employee typically elicits scorn in these parts so I thought you'd appreciate this Allied News story about a kid truly earning his paycheck at his local theater. Christopher Payne carefully observed a possible movie pirate and used all means necessary to take him down. How about that?
For Marquee Cinemas employee Christopher Payne, being nicknamed the "pirate slayer" by co-workers has little to do with one-eyed, peg-legged treasure hunters and more to do with stopping what experts call "the biggest threat to the motion picture industry."
Payne interrupted the illegal pirating of the movie "Pride" in May — a federal crime — helped recover the camcorder used, and also received a $500 reward along the way. Not bad for the 16-year-old Woodrow Wilson High School junior.
More than the billions of dollars lost by the growing trend, it's the theater owners that suffer the most with this practice. While studios have other sources of revenue to tuck them in at night, theater owners have nothing if no one shows up.

Classic lives on
With so many classic theaters in danger, just saving one is enough to be a hero. But what if you saved a bunch? What if you become a leader in preservation even when faced with a tough market and an age where movies are no longer the focal point they once were?
I've always admired the Chicago-area Classic Cinemas chain for their championing of such treasures as the Tivoli, Lake, and York Theatres and thought it was about time to see how they managed to put it all off. This morning, I got on the phone with the chain's owner and founder, Willis Johnson, and he gave me some insights.
MZ: What got you into the theater business?
WJ: I owned the Tivoli building and one tenant happened to be a theater. Around June 1978, the person running the theater, Oscar Bortman, walked away from the lease. I needed the theater to operate in order to pay the rent so I started looking for someone to run it. Unfortunately, I wasn't too happy with the prospective tenants until Ed Doherty came to me and told me he'd run the Tivoli but only if he could just do the theater side, but not the business end. That was fine by me because all I knew was the business end. We reopened in August 1978.
MZ: There are many classic theaters in the Chicago area, many long since gone sadly. What are some of your childhood memories of those theaters?
WJ: Surprisingly, movie theaters weren't really a big part of my life growing up. I'm sure I went. I just don't remember much of it. There was the Don Theater in Downers Grove. They showed westerns. I don't think I went though.
MZ: When did you know that your business was on the right track?
WJ: We got a good reception from the start. All it took was seven months and then we went from red to black.
MZ: When did you start acquiring other theaters?
WJ: After the Tivoli came the Park Forest on Christmas 1980. That was a great one cause it opened in 1950 so it was the last of an era. The York came after that, then the Lindo, all by 1982.

Not to be missed theaters
Opening up my e-mail yesterday, I came across a feature that Ross Melnick had contributed to on Forbes. It highlights some notable theaters still standing with almost all still doing first-run business. Don't get too excited because most are the usual suspects.
When I go on trips, even if it's just for the weekend, I always lookup the local theaters of note at my destination as well as on the way. With the next two months, a lot of us here in the Northern Hemisphere will be taking summer vacations and maybe coming near such a theater.
So I ask you, what one theater should have been included on this list? Forget about the fact that most of their choices were in major cities and that one was even a multiplex. What single-screen theater, anywhere in the world, is still showing first-run films and is worth the trip there to see it, even if you're only remotely nearby (or worth a trip of its own if you're really THAT HARDCORE! Oh yeah!)?

Sharing Cinema
While writing comments on Cinema Sightlines the other day, I remembered a dreadful moviegoing experience only a year ago.
Unbeknownst to me, residing in Hollywood for almost 2 years at the time, I had been living in a bubble. Going out drinking at the local bars, eating at hole in the wall restaurants, visiting ArcLight and the Sunset 5 for an evening flick; I really never would bump into children. Surely on my evening jog to the gym down Sunset Boulevard, the families walking hand in hand were nowhere to be seen.
I was going to the El Capitan on opening night to see the film, "Cars," when I got quite a rude awakening. As soon as I entered the auditorium, I was greeted with crying babies and toddlers throwing popcorn on the floor. The start of the movie didn't make it any quieter and for the next two hours I heard as much soda slurping as I did Owen Wilson and Paul Newman. It felt like it had been ages since I'd even been inside a theater with someone not allowed to see R-rated picture, much less 1,000 people under the age of seven.
June 15, 2007
After dark
Whenever I tell people where I'm going on a Saturday night, they're a bit shocked. Of all the odd places to go to the movies, nothing quite turns head like the neighborhood cemetary.
Here in Los Angeles, the Hollywood Forever Cemetary has a summer film series, Cinespia, where each Saturday a crowd of mostly 20's/30's piles in and watches a film projected onto the side of their mausoleum. Food and alcohol is welcome and they even have a DJ there to spin records before the film begins after dark. The schedule is always filled with classic/cult films sure to please the riled up audience.
When I went for the first time a year ago, I honestly believed I would be one of 50 signing up for this odd event. Man, was I wrong. After waiting in a seemingly neverending line on Santa Monica Boulevard for who knows how long, I realized people may not mind going to the movies in a cemetary. In fact, over 1000 people show up each week and it regularly sells out.

The forgotten homage
And here I thought I had Los Angeles covered. I've visited most of the surviving theaters and spent countless hours studying the ones lost but I'd never looked closely at one particular stretch of Main Street. I sure was surprised when someone sent me notice of the taking down of Frank Romero's "Homage to the Downtown Movie Palaces" in the L.A. Downtown News.
I had to go see it in person. Now I don't know much about art that adorns parking garages but I'm willing to bet this comes up at the top of the list. L.A. native Frank Romero has built a name for himself with an impressive portfolio spanning almost fifty years of paintings, ceramics and of course his large-scale murals. One of his most famous pieces of work was the "Going to the Olympics" mural that hung from the 101 in downtown Los Angeles.
In 1988, he completed the "Homage to the Downtown Movie Palaces" mural as a tribute to the theaters he grew up in on Broadway. It was about to reach its 20th Anniversary when the city announced a plan supported by the Community Redevelopment Agency to revitalize the street area in front of the parking structure on which it hangs. Part of the initiative includes taking down the mural and placing something more modern in its place.
While the plans are already in motion, I thought it would be worthwhile to get the artist's take on the whole ordeal and maybe learn a bit more about the piece as well:

Bialik: For Rafa, the key is to survive and advance. He's getting more comfortable on grass. He started looking like a two-time champ in the last three sets Saturday -- and the grass is starting to look more like clay, with the baseline worn down to dirt. Despite his shaky start to each match, he looks to me like the favorite in his half of the draw. Since no one asked, I expect the finals to be Djokovic-Nadal and Sharapova-Radwanska. (Disclosure: not guaranteed and subject to frequent revision in second week.)
Isaacson: Rafa has done what Serena ultimately could not, failing to overcome a bad day and a hungry opponent. Where the No. 25 seed Alize Cornet was aggressive, Williams played uncharacteristically passive on too many occasions, and even the greatest champions can't get away with that.

The traditional packaged ice industry is highly competitive and highly
fragmented. In the United States, the traditional packaged ice industry is led
by us and three smaller, regional, multi-facility suppliers. Although these
suppliers generally do not serve customers in our primary markets, we do compete
with numerous smaller local and regional companies of varying sizes and
competitive resources. Most ice manufacturers have annual revenues of less than
$1.0 million. In addition to our direct competition, numerous convenience and
grocery retailers operate commercial ice plants for internal use or manufacture
and bag ice at their store locations. However, our ice products generally do not
face competition within a particular store as almost all of our customers rely
on a single supplier of packaged ice at each point of sale.
Competition in the packaged ice industry is based primarily on service,
quality and price. To compete successfully, an ice manufacturer must be able to
offer significant supply and distribution capacity on a seasonal basis while
maintaining cost efficiency. We are the largest company in the packaged ice
industry, serving customers in 31 states and the District of Columbia. Our large
geographic footprint, manufacturing capacity and distribution infrastructure,
including traditional ice delivery, warehouse delivery and The Ice Factory,
gives us the ability to service large retailers across multiple states and
regions in a variety of ways. Because of these attributes, we are positioned to
benefit from continued consolidation within our customer base and from increased
reliance by national and regional customers on suppliers that serve multiple
We have been providing ice products and delivery services to many of our
large customers for more than a decade. Our customers depend on our consistent
ability to ensure prompt and reliable delivery, particularly during peak
seasonal months. The strength of our customer relationships is further
reinforced by the fact that almost all of our customers rely on a single
supplier of packaged ice at each point of sale. We believe that the strength of
our customer relationships provides us with a significant competitive advantage
over other suppliers in our markets.
We are the largest manufacturer and distributor of packaged ice in the
United States, serving approximately 82,000 customer locations in 31 states and
the District of Columbia under the Reddy Ice™ brand name. We believe our sales
are more than three times those of any other packaged ice supplier in
the United
States. Our principal product is ice packaged in seven to fifty pound bags,
which we sell to a highly diversified customer base, including supermarkets,
mass merchants and convenience stores. In 2004, we sold the equivalent of over
484 million seven-pound bags of ice. Our products are primarily sold throughout
the southern United States (the "Sun Belt"), one of the most attractive regions
in the country for packaged ice sales due to warm weather, extended peak selling
seasons and favorable population growth patterns. Population growth is one of
the primary drivers for growth in demand for packaged ice, and we operate in 13
of the 15 fastest growing metropolitan areas in the United States. In addition,
our broad geographic reach helps insulate us from the impact of cool or rainy
weather in any particular region. No other manufacturer and distributor of
packaged ice in the United States has the geographic presence, infrastructure or
capacity necessary to meet the multi-state demands of customers in our markets.
Our business is characterized by consistent annual customer demand,
attractive margins and modest annual capital requirements. Based on our past
experience, retail consumer demand for packaged ice is relatively unaffected by
adverse economic conditions due to its low cost and the lack of readily
available substitutes. In 2004, we had revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, net income and
net income available to common stockholders of $285.7 million, $80.2 million,
$16.6 million and $6.0 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30,
2005, we had revenues, Adjusted EBITDA and a net loss of $132.4 million,
$30.3 million, and $4.8 million, respectively.
We operate in two business segments: ice products and non-ice products and
operations. Ice products accounted for approximately 94% of our total revenues
in 2004. This segment consists of the traditional manufacture and delivery of
ice from a central point of production to the point of sale as well as sales
from The Ice Factory machines, our proprietary equipment located in our
customers' high volume locations that produce, package and store ice through an
automated, self-contained process. In 2004, traditional ice manufacturing and
Ice Factory sales accounted for approximately 91% and 9% of our ice product
revenues, respectively. The majority of our sales are direct to supermarket
chains, convenience stores, mass merchants and other commercial customers. In
addition, a portion of our products is sold through distributors who deliver ice
to our customers on our behalf and who resell ice to their own customers.
Non-ice products and operations consist of refrigerated warehousing and the
manufacture and sale of bottled water.
We have built a strong and loyal customer base by providing a high level of
service and quality at competitive prices utilizing our extensive network of ice
manufacturing plants and distribution centers. We have a diverse customer base
and long-standing relationships with our customers across all major retail
channels as evidenced by our high retention rates with prominent supermarkets,
mass merchants and convenience stores such as Albertson's, Circle-K, ExxonMobil,
Food Lion, Kroger, 7-Eleven and Wal-Mart. Our largest customer, Wal-Mart and
Sam's Club on a combined basis, accounted for approximately 10% of our revenues
in 2004 and approximately 11% of our revenues for the six months ended June 30,
2005. Most of our major customers, including eighteen of our top twenty retail
ice customers, have purchased ice from us and our predecessor companies for
over a decade. Within our markets we are the sole supplier of packaged ice to
the majority of our top twenty retail ice customers. The percentage of our
total revenues derived from and volume sold to national and regional
convenience and grocery store chains has grown over the last several years as
each of these retail channels has consolidated. We have benefited from
supplying these national and regional retailers as many of these customers
have grown at rates in excess of industry averages.
At June 30, 2005, we owned or operated 58 ice manufacturing facilities, 53
distribution centers, approximately 79,000 merchandisers (cold storage units
installed at customer locations), approximately 3,000 Ice Factories, five
refrigerated warehouses and one bottled water plant. As of the same date, we had
an aggregate daily ice manufacturing capacity of over 16,000 tons, the
equivalent of over 4.5 million seven-pound bags of ice. We acquired two
businesses in 2003 and 11 businesses in 2004.
Reddy Ice Holdings, Inc. was incorporated on May 8, 2003. Our principal

DENVER - AUGUST 29: Quarterback Tim Tebow of the Denver Broncos warms up prior to facing the Pittsburgh Steelers during preseason NFL action at INVESCO Field at Mile High on August 29, 2010 in Denver, Colorado. (Photo by Doug Pensinger/Getty Images)
Tim Tebow led yet another late rally, passing for a season-best 202 yards and two third-quarter touchdowns to help the Denver Broncos win their fifth straight game with a 35-32 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Matt Prater kicked two field goals in the final 93 seconds for the Broncos (7-5), who moved into a first-place tie in the AFC West with a loss by the Oakland Raiders. Christian Ponder set Minnesota's single-game rookie record with 381 yards passing, including a pair of touchdowns to Percy Harvin, but his sideline throw with 1:33 remaining was intercepted by Andre Goodman to set up the winner. Harvin had a career-high 156 yards for the Vikings (2-10), who lost their fourth in a row.

For 1stfans, we are attempting to go as paperless as possible and this has been an interesting challenge for us. The first major shift is that we've ditched the customary palm cards and, instead, are using these shirts from Reactee (above). Reactee shirts are powered by TextMarks and are designed to text you back, so rather than us handing out all the paper, people can txt for more information and get it right on their phone. These shirts have the added benefit that we can use them over and over again at every event, so you'll see the entire Membership staff (and a few of the Tech staff) wearing them at Target First Saturdays.
The next thing we had to think about was signing up 1stfans on-site and keeping that line moving as quickly as possible. We needed an electronic solution that would be both small (the membership desk has limited space) and cheap, so we settled on using Netbooks or, more specifically, Asus eeePCs running Linux. The Netbooks will be using the Firefox browser pointing directly to our e-forms site which is powered by Wufoo (something we just started using and highly recommend). There is one potential pitfall with these—they have the smallest keyboards you've ever seen. I'm very curious to see how these work in practice—typing even a limited amount of information (name, phone number, e-mail) could be difficult, so we will have to see what comes of this. Another thought we had was to utilize Safari on the iPod touch via wifi, but that keyboard seemed like it might be even more problematic if we really wanted to keep the line moving at a quick pace.
Full disclosure, there are some exceptions to the paperless rule. First Saturdays are often crowded and when you have this many people in the lobby you've just got to have some directional signage to help people find you and stanchion signs are the only way we have to do that, but we will be recycling them as we go along. Also, we are prepared with backup paper forms in case those Netbooks turn out to be problematic, but you'll be happy to know we've maximized the paper with more than one form per page and have utilized both the front and the back of the sheet. As I write this, I can't help but think of Francesca who had to deal with distributing all those Click! cards, so F., I dedicate this post to you!
With the New Year almost here, I'd like to give you a quick preview of what will be coming to the blog in the next few months. Richard and Mary will be off to Egypt soon, so the Dig Diary will be starting up again (yay!) in January. For all the art lovers who have been bored stiff by the recent slew of Technology and Membership posts, we are working to publish more about art and conservation (double yay and whew!) on the way soon. We appreciate your hanging in there, and here's to even more stimulating and varied content in the New Year! Have a Happy New Year, everyone and we hope to see you Saturday!

Journal Sentinel sports columnist Bob Wolfley offers his take on the local and national sports scene.
Fox Sports' telecast grabs headlines for phony headlines
It reminds you a little bit of the incident in 2000 involving CBS Sports golf telecasts in which taped bird sounds were used in telecasts to get the ambient sound producers thought they needed to present the tournaments.
In both cases, someone decided that reality and truth weren't good enough, so fiction and falsehood were added to get a more real reality or, as Stephen Colbert might say, a truthier truth.
We are referring to a Fox Sports NFL game crew cooking up fake newspaper headlines and passing them off as real ones during the Atlanta Falcons at Chicago Bears telecast on Sept. 11.
Viewers of the game saw three headlines come up in a graphic on the screen: "Cutler Leaves With Injury" and "Cutler Lacks Courage" and "Cutler's No Leader" in reference to Bears quarterback Jay Cutler taking himself out of most of the second half of the game against the Packers in last season's NFC Championship game at Soldier Field.
Game analyst Daryl Johnston even said: "These are the actual headlines from the local papers in Chicago."
If only it was true. According to the Chicago Tribune, those headlines not only didn't run in any Chicago newspaper, they couldn't find them in any newspaper in the country.
The Cutler story was good enough that it did not then and does not now need to be ginned up with phony headlines.

According to the inflationary model, our universe expanded exponentially when it was a tiny fraction of a second old, before decaying and settling into the more leisurely expansion we observe today (see: "What Did Go 'Bang' in the Big Bang?"). Most cosmologists support the inflationary scenario, since it naturally explains a series of otherwise perplexing aspects of our universe (e.g., its isotropy; its flatness). There is, however, one feature of cosmic inflation which is much more controversial. Inflation appears to be eternal, and it almost inevitably leads to the formation of a multiverse—an infinite ensemble of universes! The reason is quite simple. Imagine that the universe started with some region of false vacuum, which (because of its repulsive force of gravity), expanded exponentially until some part of it decayed to produce a "pocket universe" like our own. At the same time, however, regions that remained in the false-vacuum state continued to expand furiously. Since the rate of expansion is actually expected to be faster than the rate of decay, the net result is shown schematically in Figure 1—the formation of a huge number of pocket universes all surrounded by false vacua. In this picture, our pocket universe (with its own Big Bang) is but one member of this endless succession of bangs.
Some string theorists (but definitely not all!) also like the multiverse idea, because string theory (the idea that all the elementary particles are the vibration modes of tiny strings in the spacetime fabric) seems to suggest the potential existence of an enormous number of putative solutions (of order 10500) to the equations. Since solutions for stable (or metastable) spacetimes typically represent points of minimal energy, this scenario has become known as the landscape scenario, where universes find themselves in the "valleys" of this landscape (Figure 2). Other string theorists, however, suspect that the huge number of solutions merely reflects the immature nature of the theory at present.
Given that the different members of the multiverse are not causally connected, the key question that emerges is: Is there a way for us to verify whether such a multiverse truly exists? If there isn't, then one could justifiably argue that the theory crossed the border between genuine physics and metaphysics. As it turns out, there are at least two possible paths that could (at least in principle) test the multiverse scenario. First, there is a chance (albeit small) that if new pocket universes pop up at a sufficiently high rate, some of them would materialize so close to our pocket universe that they would collide with it. Physicists calculated that such a collision would have left an imprint of a hotter (or cooler) round spot in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Searches in the CMB maps created by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) have yet to reveal any convincing signatures for such a cosmic collision, but given the enormity of the dataset, some researchers have not given up.
There is a second way in which physicists could be convinced of the existence of a multiverse, and that is if the multiverse scenario were to make a sufficient number of falsifiable predictions in our observable universe. In that case, just as we accept the existence of quarks even though no free quarks have ever been directly observed, we will have to conclude that the multiverse does provide the best explanation for the observed phenomena. At the moment, we are still far from that situation (even though a few researchers suggest that the value of the inferred cosmological constant could be explained through the presence of the multiverse). Nevertheless, since at least some directions for potential verification have been suggested, a number of influential physicists are convinced that the multiverse hypothesis should be regarded as speculative physics, rather than metaphysics.
2 Responses to "How Can We Tell if a Multiverse Exists?"
Cosmic inflation seems to have been verified by BICEP2 by closely analyzing light polarization in ancient parts of the CMB. So testability of multiverses is another problem.
1. how can we tell if inflation happened ? what triggered inflation and how it ended ? if there exist multiple universes ,do all those universes went through same phases of evolution as ours ? does multiverses exert gravitational pull on each other ?if so ..how the heck is that possible ? coz if universes pull on each other that implies they all must be "spawned" from a single event ! how could infinite universes spawn from a single infinite density spot …..

Rapid application development with Ruby and Glade
Application development shouldn't be a chore. We'll show you how to simplify the development process with the Ruby programming language and the Glade interface design utility.
For even the most experienced developers, the drudgery of the edit-compile-test cycle can become very oppressive. Fortunately, an assortment of open source tools cuts the fat out of the development process by helping programmers focus on functionality instead of on all the arbitrary implementation details. With dynamic programming languages and versatile interface design utilities, even relatively inexperienced programmers can build complex applications with little effort. One promising combination of tools is the Ruby language and the Glade interface development system.

Yoko Ono Covers Katy Perry's 'Firework', We Think [VIDEO]
When you think of Katy Perry's 'Firework', you think of inspiration, and positive words. When you think of Yoko Ono doing that song, well, we aren't sure.
When you think of Katy Perry's 'Firework', you think of inspiration, and positive words. When you think of Yoko Ono doing that song, well, we aren't sure.
As our year comes to a close, it's time to look back at some of the the songs that dominated the charts, and totally got stuck in our heads.
Katy Perry and Carly Rae Jepsen shared the spotlight at the Billboard Women in Music Event, where the two technicolored starlets were the guests of honor.
New fragrance deal, new promo pic! Only Katy Perry could make a sleek, slicked back, high and shiny ponytail look Old Hollywood glam.
Katy Perry may have some more family drama to deal with, namely a woman named Jodi Hudson who is reportedly the pop star's half-sister.
Selena Gomez and Katy Perry opted for dark-hued gowns at the UNICEF Snowflake Ball, held in NYC last night (Nov. 27.) Darker colors are usually perfect for this time of year, when it's chillier, and these shades convey a sense of warmth and romance. Both pop stars looked stunning in their gowns, even if one look had us scratching our heads.
Another sign that the year is drawing to a close. Search engines revealing their "most searched" people and things of 2012.
Things appear to be getting serious for Katy Perry and her BF, serial-dater-of-famous-women John Mayer. The twosome toured Perry's hometown of Santa Barbara, Calif. earlier this week. What's more romantic than cruising up and down the Cali coast in one of the most weather-friendly cities known to man?
Uh oh. BFFs Katy Perry and Rihanna may be on the outs -- and Chris Brown may be to blame.
- Katy Perry will join POTUS Barack Obama on the campaign trail in Milwaukee, Wis.

The Habanos Size Guide
Gregory Mottola
Posted: April 2, 2007
You may know your lonsdales from your lanceros, but do you know your tacos from your pacos? Unless you're a cigar roller at the Partagas factory in Havana, trade names for Cuban cigar sizes before they hit the commercial market can be quite confusing. To make sense of the Habanos portfolio, the Habanos Size Guide poster graphically decodes the factory aliases of every handmade Cuban cigar in production as of 2006.
The framable chart (think smoking room or cigar store) measures 33 inches wide by 42 1/2-inches tall and is arranged by ring gauge—slender, standard and "heavy," or fat. Each cigar is depicted with its dimensions, factory name and all the commercial brand names associated with that particular vitola. Limited editions and special releases are not included.
|The supplementary short-filler cigar chart profiles hand-made sizes from brands like Flor de Cano and Quintero.
The comprehensive reference chart was created by Habanos, Cuba's cigar exporting organization, and Simon Chase, marketing director for Hunters & Frankau, London's importer of Cuban cigars. It is sold at licensed La Casa del Habano retail shops around the world and is printed in six languages. In the United Kingdom, the large poster retails for £15 (about $30), the set for £17 (about $34).

India missed the flight kumar was going to go i heard, would've been interesting match-ups.
You simply go or drive to ExCel Centre, London. The entrance may even be free. )))
I see there's a lot of mythology around this tourney.
In the report from India they say:
"the organisers denied permission to the team as none of the country's wrestlers had made the cut for next year's mega-event so far."
What does this mean? Only wrestlers who have qualified at the recent worlds are allowed? Or a nation may participate if they have at least one wrestler who has qualified?
I don't think it will be a 5 man tourney. ))

Wayne Bledsoe: Even cellphones need protection
Recently, the website Gizmodo ran an editorial suggesting that we let our cellphones go nude — as in, no protective case. The feature, which ran beside an ad for the iGlaze iPhone protective case, said it was like "painting your Ferrari with rust proofing paint and then wrapping it in burlap." Those writers were obviously men and probably the sort of men who say, "It's like wearing a raincoat in the shower."
As the father of a teenage girl, and a guy who counts several younger women as friends, I'm here to give father/older guy advice:
If you do a survey of young women and female teenagers, you'll probably find the majority of them should've used protection. One day I asked my daughter's friends to hold up their phones. They all revealed phones tainted with cracks and broken screens. My own daughter's phone was one of the worst. I buried my face in my hands thinking, "Why didn't I talk to her earlier?"
I'm sure there are some out there who wouldn't want the subject broached at all. If, say, a university staged a week to talk about protecting your cellphone and how to use it, those folks would say: "Everything you need to know is in the owner's manual! This can only lead to people fiddling with their phones unnecessarily!"
For some reason men don't seem to have as many obvious cellphone problems, but that's no reason they shouldn't be responsible. My iPhone is housed in a Trident hard plastic case, and Trident (www.tridentcase.com) has cases that offer good protection. They'll also cost you from $15 to about as much as your phone cost you in the first place. It replaced a $30 Body Glove case (www.bodyglovemobile.com), which did feel a little bit like you'd put your phone in a catcher's mitt.
My friend Susan, who sits behind me, has her phone housed in an Otterbox case (www.otterbox.com), which she says is nearly indestructible. She's about my age, so it's proof that we learn as we get older. Likewise, my buddy Chuck has a Case Mate (www.case-mate.com), which adds metal to the equation. My friend Lisa tried to theorize as to why girls might drop their phones more often. She drops hers because, when she's talking while in her car, she often drops the phone between her legs and then forgets it's there when she gets out of the car and it lands on concrete or asphalt.
My friend Cecilia, who is in her early 20s, had the most damaged working cellphone I've ever seen and just last week had to replace it. I asked her how long she thought it would be before she was carrying a "girl phone" again.
She hit me really hard. Sometimes it can be painful to remind our friends about responsibility.

How many kids do you want?
I never really thought about it. But since I was pleasantly surprised with baby #2 that is due in April I'm going with 2. :)
I wanted four five years ago..... Now Im just happy to have the two.
3 is the plan and I'm currently pg with #3. We aren't making any permanent decisions though so who knows what the future holds!
I never really planned it out or gave it much thought but I think 4 is plenty. I'm due to have my 4th in March and she will be or last. I'll be getting my tubes tied after my 4th c-section, I just don't want to risk putting my body through anymore.

The Historian's Lincoln
Pseudohistory, Psychohistory, and History
Awards and Recognition:
Winner of the Barondess/Lincoln Award of the Civil War Round Table of New York, 1989.
"For Lincoln specialists, The Historian's Lincoln deepens and sharpens familiar arguments. For nonspecialists, it is the most efficient and enjoyable way to 'get right' with Lincoln." -- Robert E. McGlone, Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography
"Provides an excursion to the frontiers of Lincoln scholarship, and insight into the passions of those who labor there. . . . Rarely do the products of a scholarly symposium so richly deserve placement on public and academic library shelves." -- John Y. Simon, Choice
"Authoritative, well written, and spiced by informed debate. In short, Lincoln's depth and height as a figure in history are well measured by this distinguished volume, not only in its several parts and authors, but also as a whole." -- Robert V. Bruce, author of Lincoln and the Tools of War

ADS-B Weather In The Cockpit
Sporty's Stratus with ForeFlight 4.5 for iPad
Sporty's Stratus is a whole new ballgame—assuming you already have an iPad (which I do). Just $799 gets you not only NEXRAD imagery (in color) and a variety of text weather and safety products, but also an external GPS with Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) support that delivers one-meter accuracy. Best of all, there's no need for a weather subscription—buy the unit, set up ForeFlight Mobile (an iPad app) to connect with it, and all the weather you download is absolutely free.
Unlike satellite-based systems, Stratus relies on signals from ground stations of the FAA's autonomous dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) network. Specifically, Stratus receives flight information service-broadcast (FIS-B) data, and then relays it to the iPad using a wireless Ethernet link. ForeFlight Mobile then takes that data and puts it on the display. FIS-B data available for display through Stratus includes NEXRAD weather radar for the entire U.S., AIRMETs, SIGMETs, METARs, TAFs, NOTAMs, pilot reports, special-use airspace and winds/temperatures aloft.
Before trying Stratus, I was concerned about how much altitude you'd need to receive signals (earlier ground-based data-link weather systems required several thousand feet of altitude for good coverage). I needn't have worried—when I looked down at the iPad strapped to my knee during climbout on a brief test flight on a rainy day near my home airport (Modesto, Calif.), it showed a band of rain that had just passed over the field. It worked equally well throughout a 518 nm round-trip between Modesto and Hawthorne, Calif.—including flight over the Tehachapi Mountains. Based on this experience, I expect it to work well wherever ADS-B coverage is available.
Aside from the Stratus unit, which measures 5.8x4.2x1.1 inches, weighs eight ounces and sits on your glare shield, you'll need an iPad (while the original version works, version 2 or higher is recommended) and the ForeFlight Mobile app, version 4.5 or higher. Downloading the app is free, but using it requires a subscription for charts and airport data.
ForeFlight displays NEXRAD data, field conditions and TFRs graphically; to get text data, you tap on the colored icon for an airport and look at the resulting pop-up menu, or switch from the map to the airports tab and look up weather or NOTAM (including TFR) data there. (NOTAMS not associated with a particular airport can be called up from ForeFlight's Device tab). If you already know how ForeFlight works, Stratus makes the ADS/B data available in a very natural way. If you're new to ForeFlight, it won't take long to learn.
Stratus isn't perfect—it's supplied with a 110-volt charger, which is used to charge an internal battery that's supposed to provide eight hours of continuous operation. On the longer of my two test flights, I found that the unit went from a 100% charge down to 30% after 4.6 hours. Sporty's sells a cigarette-lighter adapter so you can power the unit in-flight, and I'd recommend that to anyone planning to fly really long legs. Documentation is sparse: Stratus comes with a 15-page quick-start guide that tells you how to set it up, but refers you to ForeFlight for details on how the data is displayed; but I was able to figure it out very quickly. And because it receives FIS-B data, it's limited to what the FAA provides—you won't get high-end weather features like echo tops, lightning or animated forecast graphics. That said, for in-flight weather without a subscription, it's the best deal I've ever seen. I wholeheartedly recommend it!
