My newly-braced niece flashed her grill at me and said, "Did you bring us donuts?"
I had actually thought about stopping for donuts, but some Saturdays, my sister or brother-in-law surprises them with that treat and I didn't want to show up with more.
So I asked what kind of donuts I should get, mentally recorded their orders, and headed back out the door to grab donuts. When I returned, we all settled around the table, ate and talked. It meant starting piano lessons late, but I didn't mind.
I like being the aunt that can go pick up donuts on a whim.
As we ate, the 5 year-old niece noticed my t-shirt.
"The Avengers are on your shirt!"
And that launched a discussion about the Avengers with all the nieces--yes, nieces--in which we debated which Avenger was dreamiest (me: Iron Man. The 11 yr-old: Hawkeye. The 5 yr-old: Hulk. The 9 yr-old offered no opinion).
A good day to be an aunt.

Surftrips are usually a bit easier when 2 girls are traveling by themselves. Everybody wants to help because to help, because they just think you need help. Everybody is proud to tell you where the good spots (or their homespots) are, telling you when to head in and where exactly.
They sometimes invite you to enjoy a BBQ at their home. It's really not just about sexual opportunities. It just arises interest, that's why it's often the older people that invite you. They are often interested in what 2 Swiss girls are doing in their country, where they have been and where we they are heading to. And how it is possible to surf on a moderate level when coming from a landlocked country.
When you get invited to sleep over in their guest room, there are a couple of rules you should obtain:
- Always except invitations, but show that you really are thankful
- If you get invited to dinner, bring something with you – even if it is just a small Greek salad
- If they invite you to use their guest room / bed try to stay packed as small as possible, and of course as clean as possible – leave the room as you got it and ask if you should put the blankets in the washing machine
- Don't forget to (at least) show interested in your hosts life
- Sounds stupid BUT if you break something like a glass or whatever, replace it as soon as possible!
- Usually don't stay longer than two nights
- Leave them a bottle of red wine even if it's a cheap one
Advices that might help on a girls surftrip
- If two girls stay longer together for more than a couple of days, you just will have a big argument. If you are not happy with something, tell the other one as soon as possible what's the matter. The not-saying-anything-it-will-get-better-for-sure method is not working out, for sure!
- One of the two will have a higher hygienic standard, just respect it, this isn't going to be anything you can change
- Same rule as in a guest room. Keep your stuff together! It's a girls thing, we just have a lot of stuff we need. It is not getting better if you spread your stuff over the whole car. It just isn't.
- If all those things don't help and you really get in a huge argument, just go surfing! Let things settle and try to handle it without too much emotions.
- Don't fight about men – they are just not worth it
- If the police or the landowner knocks on your door, just open the door with a huge smile and a big sorry. And leave the parking lot fast but clean.
Dont get the wrong idea, girltrips are amazing! Go surfing!

A few blocks from my home in Washington, D.C., a non-denominational Christian church is housed in what once was an Irish-Catholic church (as the Celtic cross adorning the steeple makes clear). It always reminds me of the fluid and adaptable nature of our communities, and how a single building can be a part of many histories.
Preservationists, of course, have a role in maintaining that continuity, but because of the spiritual and emotional significance of religious spaces, it's important to approach them sensitively. In particular, conflict can arise if there's a feeling that preservationists are prioritizing the building over the religious group's spiritual needs.
Today's toolkit offers 10 questions to ask to make sure you're keeping the congregation's needs at the forefront of the preservation process. Next week, we'll delve deeper into the nitty-gritty of the rehabilitation and/or re-use of religious buildings.... Read More →

LIGONIER — Anytime you have a conference match it's important.
For Columbia City boys' tennis, it makes this week a big one with a dual match against Norwell Thursday followed by a Wawasee Invitational where the Eagles are looking to defend their title.
"This will be an important week for us as we gear up towards Norwell Thursday and then hopefully defend the Wawasee Invitational trophy from last year," said Columbia City coach Doug Stoffel. "We just need to get very focused and play up to our potential Thursday. Should be a fun night."
The Eagles (5-1) got the week off to a good start outside the NHC conference beating West Noble on the road 5-0 and extending its winning streak to five matches.
Hinens led the top two spots in singles. Senior No. 1 Dylan Hinen and sophomore No. 2 Derek Hinen both won by 6-0, 6-1 scores.
Senior Cole Craven and his teammate in No. 2 doubles of Gabe Boles matched that score in their 6-0, 6-1 win over Chargers Austin King and Tyler Rothhaar.
Senior Travis Johnson flipped those scores for his 6-1, 6-0 win over West Noble's Jordan Younce at No. 3 singles.
Senior Alan Murphy and former Charger J.T. Biggs had the closest match but still won the No. 1 doubles match in two sets 6-0, 7-5.
"West Noble is young and rebuilding, but tonight was a good night to tweek the lineup a bit and work on a few new formations," Stoffel said.

Several bloggers have pointed to this Brad DeLong piece on the financial crisis. For my money the analysis there is a cut above the usual drivel people shove, which either tells a cartoonish story about the crisis either being caused by some mythical detail-free thing called 'deregulation' supposedly implemented by conservatives, or claims it's all caused by giving loans to minorities, or just goes the easiest path and blames it all on 'greed'. DeLong's piece is more interesting than any of that.
He identifies 5 known causes of fluctuations in global capital (which is what has imploded recently). In short they are
1. Savings and investment (particularly, the amount of the former that is transformed into the latter)
2. News (including resources, technology, and politics)
3. Default discount (fear that people will default)
4. Liquidity discount (desire to have money in liquid things)
5. Risk discount (desire to have money in non-risky things, i.e. for its future value to stay known)
DeLong says that (1) and (2) couldn't have changed things much, that (3) has basically already been priced in, and that it's (4) and (5) that are operating in our current credit crunch. He concludes with a mystery, because nothing in current economic thinking (according to him, and he would know) would predict that the appetite for liquidity would be so high and that for risk would be so low.
He is arguing primarily with folks who tell a story of the financial crisis being primarily caused by the 'impulse' of subprime/home-price writedowns. He says that's not enough to understand the crisis because it only was a $2 trillion 'impulse' whereas global capital has shrunk by ten times that much. Not only that but the causes of this 'impulse' are not well diagnosed. All of this strikes me as accurate enough.
Here's where I think DeLong goes wrong: by dismissing the effect of (2) – news. He dismisses it practically at the beginning of his analysis. Possibly this is because he welcomes the Obama victory. So, news hasn't changed much, he says (or anyway, there's no bad news to speak of), so that can't be part of the explanation.
Oh, but I think it can.
The United States – the most important economy in the world, and the locus of the housing bubble – was going to change its governing regime. Obvious this was known prior to 2007 but it was a looming event in 2007, something that could no longer be ignored, because it was coming up. And not only that but Bush's popularity had plummeted, making a party change all that more likely. So if the markets had gotten used to one regime – Bush, and his cabinet, and whatever they tend to do or not do, good or bad – they would have had to start incorporating into their thinking the fact that this regime and all its patterns were likely to change significantly.
I know this is simplistic thinking but the more I think about it the more striking it is – the tech stock bubble collapsed in '99-'00, the housing bubble collapsed in '07-08. What did both of those time periods have in common?
Regime uncertainty. One long regime going to end, and a far different regime possibly due to take over. I'm not saying this as a way of calling the Obama Presidency (or the Bush Presidency) bad (or good); I'm just saying.
I suspect the effect of regime uncertainty on the markets is being wildly underestimated by most commentators.

You'd think they'd be able to price stuff like that in, so that it wouldn't cause sudden collapses.
The incentive is not there in 2001 or 1993 to 'price in' the effect of regime uncertainty coming in 2007 or 1999. Which market actor is supposed be able to give up six years of solid growth because of something that might happen seven years from now? (Without getting fired?) Prevention of future sudden collapses is not their goal. Making money is.
Anyway, even if the incentives were there, I doubt market actors could justify pricing in the effect of regime uncertainty if it's being consistently discounted and underestimated by everyone, up to and including experts like Brad DeLong. Suggesting that the market should price something in presupposes that they recognize the thing they need to be pricing in. My point is that they don't.

Legal Experts Decipher Oracle-Google Verdict
Lecturer Brian Love provided his perspective on the Oracle v. Google case in the following CNET News piece by Charles Cooper, Elinor Mills, and Daniel Terdiman.
The fact that a jury couldn't make up its mind about a key question in Oracle's copyright-infringement case against Google could turn out to be good news for Google and the Android development community, according to legal experts.
A unanimous jury found that Google infringed on Oracle's 37 Java APIs, but they could not decide whether Google had made "fair use" of the infringing material in its Android mobile platform. As a result, the odds of a billion-dollar payday in Oracle's future -- at least in the near term -- are relatively low and the odds of a mistrial, requested by Google's lawyers today, being granted by the judge are relatively high.
At this point in the case, Brian Love, a lecturer and fellow at Stanford Law School, gave the nod to Google:
"I would tend to agree with Google's position that there can't be an ultimate determination on infringement until the fair use question is answered, and if jury can't decide if what Google did was fair use then it can't say that what Google did was copyright infringement. Because if something is fair use, then by definition it can't be copyright infringement."
"Typically, you'd think a jury would say we're at impasse and the judge would say 'deliberate more, deliberate more.' I'm a little surprised that the judge let the verdict come down as it did. Think about all the cost and expense to put this trial on, and when a jury comes back and says 'we can't answer a question that's crucial to the case,' I think what's going to have to end up happening is what Google wants, which is that there would have to be a mistrial."
Echoing a comment offered by other legal experts, Love said he was unsure whether a final judgment could be rendered case without an answer on the fair use question, leading him to expect the judge to grant the mistrial motion.
As for the immediate future, Love said there could be additional proceedings on the copyright issue.
"I'm guessing that what will happen is that the case will continue on the patent issues and then we'll find out pretty soon on the copyright, and whether the last couple of weeks on the copyright proceedings has been all for naught...The more immediate question before Judge Alsup is whether copyright even applies to this dispute. If the judge decides no, then none of this really matters and Google can't infringe as matter of law."

Confused? Me too.
Two weeks ago the city announced they would be delivering a first draft of the 2012-2013 budget with a considerable shortfall.
Then news followed with nearly $5 million worth of unpaid parking fines from faulty record keeping/negligent notices to pay up. Hence notice was served via "the boot" and a public list of the violators.
Next came the news of the city wanting to give $750,000 to Del Mar for funding simulators for truck driver classes. Based on reports in the Caller-Times, we need help in the form of simulators for regular drivers too.
While I appreciate and applaud the city's attention to detail, I question whether the detail includes follow-up and completion. It would seem our city's processes are looking more and more like our federal government: Make laws but don't enforce them. It would seem completing the circle would bring both budgets closer to being balanced and laws being enforced.
And now they're going after correcting our improper private parking. Don't get me wrong. I think it's a grand idea, but after residing in Corpus Christi for 30+ years these laws are news to me. I've never understood the need to have a used car lot in the front yard. I simply question the process and whether the result will be a lasting one.
And it looks like the quote for the new computers came from the same type of source as the City Council's timers. I sincerely hope that all this works for you guys ... and for us.
Dr. M. Retta Martin, Home Instead Senior Care owner
Salute to service
Retired seniors in America are rolling up their sleeves in big ways to make a difference in their communities. One such senior is Richard "Dick" Hinman who has for the past 17 years, cheerfully given more than 28,600 hours and thousands of moments of joy volunteering at Driscoll Children's Hospital. Those hours equate to over 1,600 a year — practically a full-time job.
Although he will more than likely be embarrassed by the attention, Richard "Dick" Hinman was recognized not only as the local winner, but as the first Texas award recipient of the Home Instead Senior Care's Salute to Senior Service Award.
A retired geologist, he grew up familiar with the hospital as his mother was one of the founding members of the Auxiliary in 1952. Having never been a parent himself, he is using his retirement to give back to his community's youngest citizens. Dick calls volunteering at Driscoll Children's Hospital an "all day recess." He may view it that way, but his list of routine activities say otherwise, working six days a week at age 81.
Although he will more than likely be embarrassed by the attention, Dick is most worthy of this and all recognition.

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
As I drive down Ocean Drive, alongside Cole Park I see a new and colorful sign (orange, blue and green), and another, and another, and another, etc.
At the end of Cole Park I am able to turn into a small parking area full of potholes and get out to read another colorful sign. This sign tells me that I am at Cole Park. Right down from it is a sign that says I'm at Oleander Point at Cole Park (exactly where am I?)
The sign says there is an amphitheater at Cole Park. Thought so, I saw it in the middle of the park surrounded by colorful signs.
It also says there is a KidsPlace. Thought so. Saw it, looks like a kids playground surrounded by signs.
It says there is a Cole Park Pier. Now I know the name of that pier I saw at Cole Park, going into the water.
Something about a Garden at Cole Park? Also saw a sign that said the garden would soon be at Cole Park, the one surrounded by colorful signs.
Who approved all these colorful signs informing me of what I'm looking at? Please, a rebuttal of the defacing of our skyline at Cole Park.
How many of these signs are there anyway?

McGinnis: BGSU alum seeks return to TV with reality showWritten by Jeff McGinnis | | email@example.com
When Toledo Free Press Star last profiled sketch comedian and BGSU alum Jessica Joy, she had just landed a role on the new NBC series "The Playboy Club." The very day her story hit newsstands, word came out that the show had been canceled.
In early January, OWN first aired a sneak preview of a new potential reality series called "My Life is a Joke," focused on five female comedians in the Chicago area. Joy was one of its cast members. Toledo Free Press Star contacted her to see if she'd be interested in a new interview. Shortly afterward, it was announced that OWN had decided not to pick up "My Life."
It's a wonder Joy will to talk to us, given what a jinx we seem to be for her. But, as she said in our interview, she has conflicting emotions about her most recent television experience.
"It's hard, because I never wanted to be on a reality show," she said. "But that being said, I loved this group of people. I grew to love and to know these other girls. Kelly Howard has become a close friend, and I think the world of her. And I'm not worried about any of these girls; I think they will all do great things."
Besides, "My Life" isn't necessarily finished. The show is currently being shopped around to other networks, so there may be life in "Life" yet.
The show was the brainchild of comedian Page Hurwitz. "It was kinda like her dream to focus a show on female stand-up comedians, because she was one, and she's got mad love for comedy," Joy said.
Of course, Joy isn't a stand-up comic, as she's the first to admit — her strength is the kind of sketch material she excelled in while at The Second City in Chicago. So even garnering a position on Hurwitz's show was a bit unlikely.
"She came to Second City randomly and saw me, and she approached me and my agent about doing the show. And at first I was totally wary because, as much as I love watching reality shows, I would never want to be on one. And my first question to her was, 'Is it one of those things where we live in a house and get voted off?' And she said, 'No.' And I was like, 'OK, I'll keep listening.'"
The show followed Joy as she underwent a screen test for "Saturday Night Live" and discussed her battle with cancer. She said she was completely comfortable being so open on national television, as she has experience with being straightforward via her Twitter feed and other social media.
"I live my life on the Internet. It's addictive and kind of scary, but I put so much stuff on the Internet that there's really — I don't have a lot to hide," Joy said. "There's nothing that I'm really ashamed of or worried about, so I come clean about everything."
As "My Life" remains in limbo, Joy continues to press for opportunities. Following a wildly successful stint off-Broadway with the spoof "50 Shades! The Musical," which garnered coverage and praise from national media sources like Time magazine, she has remained in New York for the past few months for pilot season — that wonderful period of uncertainty when actors strive for roles in shows on the upcoming fall television schedule.
"First they get cast with, you know, names, and then the parts trickle down to people like me. So you can get, you know, the small, recurring roles. So that's happening, and it's always better to be in a bigger city," Joy said.
"A lot of the parts I hear about or read about, my agent comes back and says, 'Well, they're looking for a name, but when they don't get one, that's when they'll come to people like you.' I'm kind of in that position where I'm not completely green, but I'm by no means sought after. I'm really just one of the millions — I maybe have just a hint more recognition, but maybe not even that much."
Still, if Joy's experience with "50 Shades" has taught her anything, it's that you can never know what will happen, when something will catch the public's fancy and become a phenomenon.
"It was just, like, the right moment. And that's the kind of thing that drives networks and people in charge crazy, is that you can't control it. You can't decide what will go viral. And as much as corporations hire comedians to write them viral videos, as much as they would love to have that down to a science, it just isn't."

"Put off for one day and ten days will pass."
Korean Proverb
"Put off for one day and ten days will pass."
Korean Proverb
I would be lying if I said that there were no fat people in Korea. But being overweight in Korea is unusual and obesity is virtually unknown. You may ask, "What's the secret?" I like to think it's good genes, but the real secret is the traditional Korean diet.
Traditional Korean cuisine has always been based on the natural environment. Being a peninsula, the country is surrounded on three sides by oceans, almost 70 percent of the land is mountainous, and various rivers flow down from the mountains' slopes. So, as you can figure, there is no shortage of seafood available; and several fish, mollusks, and sea creatures make their way to the dinner table. From the mountains, various wild and cultivated vegetables and fruits are available.
According to Korean nutritionists (albeit a bit on the biased side), the Korean diet is well-balanced in nutrition, weight control, and cholesterol intake. But traditional cuisine was not developed with just nutrition in mind; Koreans have always considered the idea of balance, a sense of well-being, and a spiritual peace as accompaniments to their meals.
According to The Cambridge World History of Food, the traditional Korean diet is composed of 70 percent carbohydrates (mostly in the form of rice and vegetables, which are present at most meals), about 14 to 17 percent protein, and 13 percent fat. When compared to the traditional European diet, you can see a stark difference—the European diet is typically composed of 40 percent carbohydrates, 15 to 20 percent protein, 30 to 40 percent fat, and 10 to 15 percent sugar.
Let me break down how a Korean meal is put together. In general, a traditional meal is made up of a staple, usually short-grain rice but sometimes noodles. Each person gets his or her own bowl of rice and a bowl of simple soup on the side. The soup is sometimes made from boiled beef bones, fat skimmed of course, or seaweed, or even soybean sprouts. Accompanying the rice are various side dishes, called banchan. If there is a special guest or a celebration, there may also be a main dish, usually beef, pork, chicken, or seafood.
It's ironic that most people think of barbecue when the subject of Korean cuisine comes up, because meat is not a major part of the Korean diet. The famous marinated rib-eye dish, galbi, is actually a recipe that was created in restaurants in the 1950s.
Along with the main banchan, there are always various smaller side dishes that accompany the meal. Those are usually not meat, but there will always be at least one kimchi. Kimchi are any number of pickled vegetables, unique to Korean cuisine. The most popular of these is the traditional Napa cabbage variety, made with garlic, chili powder, and sometimes salted seafood. The fermentation process brings out all the lovely good bacteria that aid in digestion (like lactic acid and those bacteria found in yogurt). Kimchi is said to be high in vitamins A and C as well as good minerals, like calcium and iron. The lactic acid in the kimchi is helpful for intestinal health and in preventing diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and cancers of the gastrointestinal area.
Now, if that's not good enough, the rest of the meal is rounded out by myriad little seafood and seasonal vegetables. Korean cooking has historically been linked to the four seasons of the year and the different regions found in the country. Since fruits and vegetables that are in season have the best taste and the highest nutritional value, this method of cooking makes for optimal enjoyment and health.
The sad news about the Korean diet is that with the wide availability of hamburgers, pizzas, and other American fast foods, Koreans are now beginning to see the health detriments that come with such a high-fat, highly processed diet. Of course, diet isn't everything, but you can see how the introduction of Western cuisine into Korean culture has led to ill effects.
Although following a strict Korean diet will be difficult for even Korean Americans like me, introducing Korean food into your staple of foods is not only a wonderful way to eat healthily but also a way to add new and exciting flavors to your palate.
I leave you with a happy note and an easy noodle recipe you can try. Happy eating!

2 Persian or Kirby cucumbers, coarsely shredded
Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
Black pepper (optional)
1/3 cup soy sauce
2 Tbsp. Asian sesame oil
1-1/2 Tbsp. sugar
In a large saucepan of boiling salted water, cook the somen until al dente, about 4 minutes. Rinse under cold water. Drain well and divide the noodles into 4 large bowls.
In a large skillet, heat about 1 Tbsp. of the vegetable oil. Add the garlic and carrots and cook over high heat for about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the zucchini and cook, stirring occasionally, until just slightly browned. Turn off the heat, add the green onions, and toss.
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce with the sesame oil and sugar, and stir until the sugar, is dissolved.
Pile the vegetable mixture on the noodles and drizzle the soy mixture on top. Top with the cucumbers, and garnish with sesame seeds and black pepper, if desired. Serve immediately.
Variations: If you're feeling more adventurous, feel free to experiment with other vegetables. Various mushrooms, onions, peppers, and sprouts work well.

This is the BEST coney sauce that's ever come out of my kitchen! Even my "coney connoisseur" husband loved it!
So simple and very good! Will definitely make again. I used generic chili seasoning packet and we thought the sauce had great flavor!
This is the best sauce I have made yet...fabulous!! Many others I had tried were too sweet. Thanks for sharing.
I was looking for chili sauce without beans similar to what Hormel used to sell. It was delicious on hot dogs (Hormel has since changed the recipe to it's detriment). This came pretty close. I doubled the recipe, but only used one pkg of chili seasoning (Lawry's), and added 2-3 T. flour for a little thickening. First, I browned the hamburger, chopping it into fine pieces with a spatula & drained it. Then added the remaining ingredients, & simmered to reduce the liquid and meld the flavors. It's a winner. Thanks for a great recipe!
Perfect texture but it needed some spice. I added extra mustard and a little ketchup to try and give it some flavor but it wasn't enough. I'm going to try it again but include some extra spices. Thanks!
Best dog sauce I've made! Next time will add salt/pepper. Yum!

Zotac Launches New Ivy Bridge-Powered ZBOX Nano SFF PCs
Subject: General Tech, Systems | July 12, 2013 - 02:26 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: zotac, zbox, SFF, Nano, Ivy Bridge, Intel, hd 4000
Zotac has announced three new ZBOX Nano SKUs that utilize Intel's 3rd Generation "Ivy Bridge" processors and HD 4000 processor graphics. The new SKUs include base and PLUS models of ID63, ID 64, and ID65 mini PCs.
The tiny PCs continue to use the ZBOX Nano form factor of approximately 5 x 5 x 1.8 inches. The front of the small form factor (SFF) PC holds two USB 2.0 ports, an SD card reader, two audio jacks, LEDs, and a power button. The rear of the ZBOX Nano PCs features an external antenna for Wi-Fi along with the following IO.
- 4 x USB 3.0
- 1 x eSATA
- 1 x HDMI
- 1 x DisplayPort
- 1 x Gigabit Ethernet
The PC comes with a VESA 75/100 mount for wall mounting or attaching to the back of a monitor.
Internal specifications include an Intel Core i3 3227U (dual core at 1.9GHz), Core i5 3337U (dual core at 1.9GHz base, 2.7GHz turbo), or Core i7 3537U (dual core at 2.0GHz base, 3.1GHz turbo) processor depending on the specific SKU. The base barebones ZBOX Nano PCs support a single DDR3 SO-DIMM (up to 8GB 1600MHz) and a single 2.5" hard drive.
Zotac's ZBOX Nano Plus units bundle in 4GB of DDR3 and a 500GB hard drive. Zotac also includes a "nanoRAID" adapter that will allow users to switch out a traditional 2.5" storage drive for two mSATA drives. The adapter supports RAID 0 and RAID 1 options as well.
Pricing and availability for the new ZBOX Nano SKUs has not been announced yet, but the mini PCs should be up for sale soon.
The decision to release new models with Ivy Bridge processors instead of Intel's latest Haswell CPUs is a bit strange, but the SFF PCs have likely been in the making and testing phase for a while. I expect Haswell-powered versions to be released at some point in the future but for now the Ivy Bridge models will offer up more performance than previous ZBOX Nano units.
Via X86 Hardware Will Have Support for Android OS
Subject: Systems | December 15, 2011 - 04:44 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: x86, VIA, Nano, embedded, Android
Today low power X86 platform manufacturer Via Technologies announced Android operating system support with their embedded x86 motherboards and processors. Currently, the company is supporting Android on their EITX-3002 platform, with more options likely to come in the future. Via believes that running Android on X86 embedded systems presents the opportunity for low cost entertainment systems capable of playing back 1080p video in vehicles, planes, and kiosks.
Including the usually Android SDKs, Via has released a new SMART ETK (Embedded Tool Kit) that allows monitoring and control of peripherals. Applications of this include controlling lights or environmental systems in your home via a touchscreen enabled embedded home control center. In the video below, Via shows off Android running on their EITX-3002 platform and using a touchscreen panel connected to it to control an external light and fan.
The EITX-3002 is a motherboard based on the Em-ITX form factor. The boards is then paired with either a 1.2 GHz VIA Nano X2 E-Series or a 1.0 GHz Eden X2 dual core processor. In addition, a VIA VX900 MSP is located on the underside of the motherboard. This co-processor assists with the decoding HD video thanks to hardware acceleration. The VX900 MSP supports decoding MPEG-2, H.264, VC-1, and WMV9 codecs. The embedded platform itself is able to output to two independent displays and resolutions of 1920 x 1080. Fan-less enclosures can be used with this low power setup, and rear I/O includes HDMI, VGA, two Gigabit Ethernet, two COM ports, four USB 2.0, four USB 3.0, and audio jacks. Via will support the Windows 7, XP, Embedded Standard 2009, WES7, Debian Linux, and Android 2.2 operating systems.
There are already projects like AndroidX86 that allow users to use the Android OS on traditional PCs but not officially. This Via platform would be good for embedded systems and pairing it with Android is a good move. Especially now that many people are familiar with or have at least seen how the Android OS works, having a similar setup in vehicle and in-flight entertainment systems will make the UI all the more intuitive. Not to mention that the Android OS uses less resources than a traditional Windows installation which means power savings for end users. Whether Android will catch on or not for entertainment kiosks and car computers remains to be seen but it's an interesting option for sure.

VIA's new QuadCore processor proves low power and high performance are still cool
Subject: Processors, Shows and Expos | May 12, 2011 - 12:22 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: VIA, Nano, quadcore, quad, centaur
VIA has been sitting pretty in a very specific peice of the computer market for quite a while now and is now being crowded by AMD and Intel working their way down to the low power market from their usual energy gobbling silicon and ARM sneaking up its performance from its traditional extremely low power consumption market. That competition has spurred VIA to develop first the dual core Nano X2 and now the QuadCore which is a pair of X2's on a single package using what was described to The Tech Report as a "side channel" of wiring between them. Still on 40nm it doesn't represent a completely new design for VIA, more a refinement of what they already produce. Check out their coverage as well as the write up Josh has finished here.
"Early this year, Via introduced its Nano X2 processor, a dual-core implementation of its Isaiah architecture built on TSMC's 40-nm chip fabrication process. Today, Via is announcing a new product, the QuadCore processor, that combines a pair of Nano X2 chips on a single package to deliver a low-cost, low-power CPU whose position in the market is fairly distinctive.
We visited Via-Centaur's Austin, Texas offices yesterday, where we chatted with Centaur Chief Architect Glenn Henry and Via marketing head Richard Brown. We came away with some fresh details on the QuadCore processor and a better sense of Via's future plans as an intriguing third-place supplier of x86-compatible PC processors."

Past Nano History
One could argue that VIA jumped on the low power bandwagon before it was really cool. Way back in the late 90s VIA snatched up processor firms Cyrix and Centaur, and started to merge those design teams to create low powered x86 CPUs. Over the next several years VIA was still flying high on the chipset side, but due to circumstances started to retreat from that business. On the Intel side it was primarily due to the legal issues that stemmed from the front side bus license that VIA had, and how it apparently did not apply to the Pentium 4. On the AMD side it was more about the increased competition from NVIDIA and ATI/AMD, plus the lack of revenue from that smaller CPU market. Other areas have kept VIA afloat through the years, such as audio codecs, very popular Firewire controllers, and the latest USB 3.0 components that are starting to show up.
Considering all of the above, VIA thought its best way to survive was to get into the CPU business and explore a niche in the x86 market that had been widely ignored except for a handful of products from guys like Nat Semi (who had originally bought up Cyrix). In the late 90s and early 00s there just was not much of a call for low power x86 products, and furthermore the industry was still at a point where even mundane productivity software would max out the top end x86 processors at the time. This was a time where 1GHz was still not common, and all processors were single core. Fast forward to 2011 and we have four and six core processors running in excess of 3 GHz. We have also seen a dramatic shift in the x86 realm to specialized, lower power processors.

A coring tool is designed to first pierce the skin of a fruit and/or vegetable such as a pepper. A second phase blade of the coring tool preferably has a pair of oval blades, each with a sharpened leading edge to core the inside of the pepper. Thus, the two phase tool allows the user to easily cut through the skin of the pepper making a small. Neat hole, and then push the tool further into the center of the pepper, thereby coring the center. A hand held stirrer is shown powering the coring tool.
1. A coring tool comprising:
a hand held stirrer having an electrically powered turning socket;
wherein the hand held stirrer comprises a flat base functioning to allow the hand held stirrer to stand on a flat surface;
a manually interchangeable set of shafts, each shaft having a proximal end with a fitting for receipt by the turning socket;
said shafts having a distal end with a two phase cutter;
a first phase cutter of the two phase cutter comprising a skin piercing blade protruding beyond a second phase cutter;
said second phase cutter comprising a blade having an elongate sharpened leading edge which has a width greater than a width of the first phase cutter;
wherein the second phase cutter further comprises a first oval blade containing the elongate sharpened leading edge;
wherein the second phase cutter further comprises a second oval blade, co-planar with the first oval blade, containing a second elongate sharpened leading edge; and
wherein the first phase cutter further comprises a flat blade having a thin, rounded center tapering to a thicker first end and a thicker second end, and having the thin, rounded center protrude further distally than the first and second ends.
2. A coring tool comprising:
a two phase blade connected to a shaft having a proximal connection end for a hand held powered stirrer;
wherein the shaft is manually connectable to the hand held powered stirrer;
wherein the hand held powered stirrer comprises a flat base functioning to allow the hand held powered stirrer to stand on a flat surface;
said two phase blade having a first phase blade comprising a skin piercing member located furthermost distally from the proximal connection end, and having a second phase blade comprising a coring member with a sharpened leading edge;
said coring member having an oval body disposed behind the skin piercing member;
wherein the oval body further comprises a duplicate set of side by side, co-planar, hollow oval bodies, each having a sharpened leading edge; and
the skin piercing member further comprises an elongate blade having thicker edges tapering down to a thin rounded central blade area.
The present invention relates to a hand held mixer with a blade that cores foodstuffs including vegetables and fruits.
Cooks have used manual vegetable and fruit coring implements for years to hollow out peppers, tomatoes, pears, apples, and other vegetables and fruits. A minimal mutilation of the flesh of the vegetable or fruit is desirable.

My irons are over 20 years old at this point, and they still hit the ball as far as irons with similar specs. However, I had them bent earlier this week because they are about 4-5 degrees weaker than modern irons. But as far as the metal weakening enough to significantly affect carry distance? Nah, ain't buyin' it.

text: August 6, 2012 An Open Letter to Sierra Club Members and Supporters on T-SPLOST and What's Next:Many of you have expressed your concerns, disagreement and anger about the position we took on the July 31st sales tax referendum. Many other of you have expressed your support, enthusiasm and thanks for that same position. And all of you want to know what the Georgia Chapter's plan is to bring about the transportation vision that we share. I would like to take this opportunity to try to address those topics.Let me start by telling you a little bit about how we were involved in the project development process that the Regional Roundtable undertook about a year ago. I realized last August that if we were going to engage in a credible way on this issue we had to participate fully throughout the project list development. We hired two temporary organizers for six weeks who helped coordinate our effort around the 10 town hall meetings that the Atlanta Regional Commission held last September. We sent out action alerts to our members and supporters in each county, encouraging them to attend their local meeting and providing them with talking points on the projects that were being considered in their area. I personally attended every meeting of the Roundtable and made public comments at each of them, distributing an open letter to the members. The crux of our message throughout the project list development process was that the list needed to be geared toward intown transit supporters who would be excited about the list to provide a genuine grassroots ground game that Sierra Club would help with. It was dispiriting, to say the least, to watch the Roundtable pluck away at the transit projects to the point of making many of them unviable. I wrote a column for the Saporta Report describing how the Sierra Club viewed what was happening. I continued to express these concerns to the the Roundtable directly, but it felt like I was talking to a wall every time I stood at the podium. Mayor Reed confirmed my suspicion when he was quoted in the Marietta Daily Journal in May on opponents: "some of it is foolishness from the left, that I can ignore."Although we were disappointed with the final project list, the RAIL committee, the Chapter committee responsible for transportation policy, chose to see if the legislature would get transit governance right in the 2012 session, which would have boosted our confidence that the huge influx of money for transit would be appropriately managed. As you may recall, the primary bill that was introduced would have consolidated regional transit decisionmaking authority under the state, despite no provision for state support of transit. Fortunately, that bill didn't pass. Unfortunately, the failure to take meaningful action made us even less optimistic about the transit components of the project list.The process by which T-SPLOST and other positions are taken at the Sierra Club is approval by two bodies. If it is a City of Atlanta issue, the Atlanta Group would vote on a position and make a recommendation to our Executive Committee who would take a vote. In this case it was our RAIL committee and our Executive Committee. Sierra Club is different than almost every other group because the people who make the decisions are the people who are involved, the people who show up. We don't take corporate or government money, and our Executive Committee is not populated by well connected people; we are governed by our mission to explore, enjoy and protect the planet. To help make sure that the position we took was consistent with our members' views, we conducted a survey for dues-paying members in the 10-county Metro Atlanta area in March. Some highlights we observed included: Although there is not overwhelming consensus, The RAIL Committee and Chapter Leadership appear to lean toward opposing the T-SPLOST Chapter membership is split but somewhat more supportive, with roughly half planning to vote Yes and half either opposed or undecided. However, many indicate that their position could be swayed by the Chapter's position Leadership and membership are supportive of the Chapter taking a position If the Chapter supports the T-SPLOST, there is limited interest in being an active participant in the "Yes" campaign If the Chapter opposes the T-SPLOST, there are multiple ways the position could be framed, including a more positive framing where we focus on "supporting Plan B" In addition to considering the preferences of chapter members and leaders, there was also the question of the political ramifications of the vote and the Chapter's ability to impact that. As we got further into 2012, it was clear that many factors were working against the sales tax. The July 31 timing of the election, expected to produce a relatively tax-hostile electorate, had long been a concern. The legislature had failed to address concerns surrounding equitable transit governance and oversight. The pro-T-SPLOST campaign was beginning to take shape, and it was becoming evident that the campaign would focus overwhelmingly on suburban, conservative voters, a losing strategy in our view. The conclusion of the Chapter's political leadership was that chances of passage in the Atlanta region were extremely slim, with or without the support of Sierra Club.At the same time, opposition to the T-SPLOST was beginning to crystallize. Much of the early opposition focused on the transit component of the project list; the road spending, despite being just as substantial, was largely receiving a free pass. With various other environmental / pro-transit groups lining up in favor of the tax, we sensed that the emerging narrative of the vote as a "referendum on transit" could be very dangerous given the likelihood that the referendum would fail. Opposition was seen as a way to reframe the debate and to shift the conversation toward discussion of alternative options that would need to be considered going forward. With these considerations in mind, the RAIL committee recommended the option of opposing the referendum with an emphasis on supporting "Plan B."Stop for a moment and consider what the message would have been on the heels of the colossal defeat if the Georgia Chapter had not opposed it. I believe it would have been that Metro Atlantans voted against transit. Instead, our thorough and well-researched position paper elevated the level of debate about transportation issues across the region. Now, the primary message coming out of the election is that voters didn't trust the government. While we recognize that the Governor is not an ally on transit, we did prevent $4 billion in additional road spending that would have worsened sprawl and pollution, and now have the opportunity to fix the things that are broken, restore trust, and lay the groundwork for a viable rail expansion program.The Tea PartyLet me be clear that there is no formal alliance or coalition with the Tea Party at this time. Tea Party leader Debbie Dooley gained my respect during the legislative session when she partnered with labor and watchdog groups to oppose SB 469, which would have limited protesting. When the sponsor of the bill tried to peel off the Tea Party opposition by limiting its application to unions, she stuck with her principles saying, "This is a bad bill and it needs to die." Before we announced our opposition to the T-SPLOST, I decided to sit down with her and see if there were opportunities to work together. Interestingly, we found significant ground in that the proposal was essentially "business as usual." Given that "Plan B" as outlined in our Position Paper gained little traction on its own, and given our lack of political power at the Capitol, it made even more sense to see if the "strange bedfellows" could advance an alternative. Working with our longtime lobbyist, Neill Herring (who has grown very skilled at framing our issues in terms of property rights) we were able to get Atlanta Tea Party agreement with several of our long-standing goals. Tactically, the best way for our ideas to gain traction was to issue a joint statement with the Tea Party right before the vote. I have found that once people get beyond the unfathomable idea that we can agree on something, their response is along the lines of "yeah, that makes a lot of sense."Moving forward, we will be initiating a fundraising effort to support hiring a transportation organizer, who will be able to effectively capture the energy and interest T-SPLOST generated in these issues to achieve our goal of getting a better solution that the project list. With your continued support, I am confident in our success.Ways you can help:Sign up for our transportation mailing list and stay informed on progress and opportunties to make a differenceJoin our RAIL Committee, which meets the last Monday of the Month.
