18th-century painters give photography new perspective
Wide-angle lenses are great for taking dramatic photos with a big scenic sweep, but they've got a big weakness of distorting objects. Now software can make wide-angled digital photos with perfect perspective, thanks to a secret of 18th-century painters (the 'Panini' effect). UVic computer scientist Daniel German was part of the Panini team and presented its work at London's Computational Aesthetics 2010 conference this week. New Scientist

I've done frozen meatballs with the grape jelly and chili sauce but I bet it's great with Lil Smokies. I bet the second one is good too so maybe I'll try that one when we have people over to watch football this year.

We do cocktail sauce instead of chili sauce in our family, but its STILL NUMMY!

- October 15, 2010 at 10:59 AM
- bfmomma said...
We do it even simpler--just BBQ sauce on the little smokies! We like Saz's (is that only regional?) or Sweet Baby Rays--one of the funky variations.
- October 15, 2010 at 11:00 AM
- FabBecky said...
We've done little smokies for years! And call them "Drunken Weiners" 1 package, BBQ sauce and a can of beer. Low until heated through. I will have to try the grape jelly version this year though.

I'll be the bottom picture goes with the grape jelly. As for me I looooove the barbecue sauce recipe. I might just have to go out and buy some little smokies this morning! Mmm. I go nuts making teeny piggies in a blanket with them and crescent roll dough. Always a hit at any event!
- October 16, 2010 at 6:53 AM

I prefer the recipe with the grape jelly, less ingredients and tastier! I think the second picture is the recipe with the jelly.
- October 16, 2010 at 10:17 AM

I have used the grape jelly recipe except instead of using the jelly, used canned jellied cranberry sauce. It's incredible, and always a hit. I usually make it with meatballs, but the Li'l Smokies are awesome too!
- October 16, 2010 at 1:07 PM

We use apple jelly and yellow mustard. Delish! I'm gonna have to try yours!
- October 17, 2010 at 5:35 PM
I use the grape jelly recipe with frozen meatballs (my mom once did homemade meatballs...that's just too much work!!). I get rave reviews everytime, and it's great fun to watch people try to guess just what is in the sauce, they make up the silliest things!

This might sound strange, but these (and the meatball variety) also taste good with Ranch dressing on top. I am a saucy kind of girl though, so that might be why I like it!!

I am not ashamed to admit that if the temperature in my house rises above 70 degrees I will put on the AC. Even in February. That's where we're at today. It is currently 75 outside, but a comfortable 69 indoors.
I longingly remember the cold days of winter, when we put on every possible handknit that we could find, and headed out in the morning light to sled down the hill. That was Monday! What a winter, right?

Can 2D barcodes help kids do homework? That's one of the reasons Georgia teacher Vicki Davis gives for explaining their value to teachers (along with saving time and paper). Davis recently posted a guide to implementing barcodes on her blog, Cool Cat Teacher. She walks interested beginners through the basics, from downloading the reader to starting to create your own barcodes and troubleshooting common problems (like poor lighting or wrinkled codes).
Then Davis explains methods for teaching students how to scan mobile tags, writing "I ask students to download a FREE QR Code reader onto their device as homework at least 3-4 days ahead of time and pair students who don't have an iPod, iPad, or smartphone with those who do." (Do eighth graders really have their own iPads? Wow. I feel old.) She then offers some funny, kid-relevant suggestions, like having a sample barcode link to a text supposedly from Justin Bieber. While I've argued that making 2D barcodes too mysterious will only confuse and alienate your audience (if it catches their attention at all), giving kids free reign to try to figure out what to do with them (as Davis suggests) is a great way to ignite their curiosity.
Davis also lists seven ways she's already used barcodes. (Check out all her ideas here.) Here are a few:
Teachers could also integrate Tags into the classroom by using them to link to a mobile version of the class site, a secure login to check grades, or a calendar of upcoming class events. Beats printing out 25 copies of a calendar that'll just get tossed in a month – especially since the end content of Tags can be updated anytime.
What do you think – does mobile tagging have a place in the classroom? Could teachers use more Tag ideas to save paper and connect with students? Let us know in the comments below or on Facebook or Twitter.

Baseball Drops Series Opener at St. John's, 6-5
QUEENS, NY - The Creighton baseball team dropped a hard fought series opening game at St. John's by a 6-5 score on Friday, May 9.
The loss dropped Creighton to 25-15-1 on the season and 10-3 in BIG EAST play, while St. John's took sole possession of first place in the BIG EAST at 11-2. The Red Storm also moved to 32-15 on the season.
The Bluejays got on the board first with a run in the top of the second and freshman Nicky Lopez laced a one-out single to right, stole second and scored an a two-out RBI single from senior Cody Kottich.
St. John's responded with three runs in its half of the second to take a 3-1 edge. The Bluejays returned the favor in the third with three runs of their own.
Sophomore Ryan Fitzgerald and junior Jake Peter opened the frame with singles to center. Senior Mike Gerber knotted the game at 3-3 with a single to right to plate Fitzgerald, then an errent throw by Red Storm shortstop Bret Dennis allowed Peter to score.
Later in the inning, sophomore Brett Murray pushed Creighton back in front with an RBI single to left.
The Red Storm pulled even at 4-4 via two hit batters and two sacrifices in the fourth before the offenses for each team calmed down.
The two squads remained deadlocked at 4-4 into the seventh. Once more it was the Bluejays to push ahead as Fitzgerald singled, moved to second on a wild pitch and scampered home thanks to an RBI single from Gerber.
Creighton and St. John's will continue their battle on Saturday, May 10 at 12 pm, the game can be watched on ESPN3.

5 U.S. Code § 561 - Purpose
prev | next
The purpose of this subchapter is to establish a framework for the conduct of negotiated rulemaking, consistent with section 553 of this title, to encourage agencies to use the process when it enhances the informal rulemaking process. Nothing in this subchapter should be construed as an attempt to limit innovation and experimentation with the negotiated rulemaking process or with other innovative rulemaking procedures otherwise authorized by law.
Source(Added Pub. L. 101–648, § 3(a),Nov. 29, 1990, 104 Stat. 4970, § 581; renumbered § 561,Pub. L. 102–354, § 3(a)(2),Aug. 26, 1992, 106 Stat. 944.)
1992—Pub. L. 102–354renumbered section 581 of this title as this section.
Effective Date of Repeal; Savings Provision
Pub. L. 101–648, § 5,Nov. 29, 1990, 104 Stat. 4976, as amended by Pub. L. 102–354, § 5(a)(2),Aug. 26, 1992, 106 Stat. 945, which provided that subchapter III of chapter 5 of title 5 and the table of sections corresponding to such subchapter, were repealed, effective 6 years after Nov. 29, 1990, except for then pending proceedings, was repealed by Pub. L. 104–320, § 11(a),Oct. 19, 1996, 110 Stat. 3873.
Short Title of 1992 Amendment
Pub. L. 102–354, § 1,Aug. 26, 1992, 106 Stat. 944, provided that: "This Act [amending sections 565, 568, 569, 571, 577, 580, 581, and 593 of this title, section 10 of Title 9, Arbitration, and section 173 of Title 29, Labor, renumbering sections 571 to 576, 581 to 590, and 581 to 593 as 591 to 596, 561 to 570, and 571 to 583, respectively, of this title, and amending provisions set out as notes under this section and section 571 of this title] may be cited as the 'Administrative Procedure Technical Amendments Act of 1991'."
Short Title of 1990 Amendment
Pub. L. 101–648, § 1,Nov. 29, 1990, 104 Stat. 4969, provided that: "This Act [enacting this subchapter] may be cited as the 'Negotiated Rulemaking Act of 1990'."
Congressional Findings
Pub. L. 101–648, § 2,Nov. 29, 1990, 104 Stat. 4969, provided that: "The Congress makes the following findings:
"(1) Government regulation has increased substantially since the enactment of the Administrative Procedure Act [see Short Title note set out preceding section 551 of this title].
"(2) Agencies currently use rulemaking procedures that may discourage the affected parties from meeting and communicating with each other, and may cause parties with different interests to assume conflicting and antagonistic positions and to engage in expensive and time-consuming litigation over agency rules.
"(3) Adversarial rulemaking deprives the affected parties and the public of the benefits of face-to-face negotiations and cooperation in developing and reaching agreement on a rule. It also deprives them of the benefits of shared information, knowledge, expertise, and technical abilities possessed by the affected parties.
"(4) Negotiated rulemaking, in which the parties who will be significantly affected by a rule participate in the development of the rule, can provide significant advantages over adversarial rulemaking.
"(5) Negotiated rulemaking can increase the acceptability and improve the substance of rules, making it less likely that the affected parties will resist enforcement or challenge such rules in court. It may also shorten the amount of time needed to issue final rules.
"(6) Agencies have the authority to establish negotiated rulemaking committees under the laws establishing such agencies and their activities and under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. App.). Several agencies have successfully used negotiated rulemaking. The process has not been widely used by other agencies, however, in part because such agencies are unfamiliar with the process or uncertain as to the authority for such rulemaking."
Authorization of Appropriations
Pub. L. 101–648, § 4,Nov. 29, 1990, 104 Stat. 4976, as amended by Pub. L. 102–354, § 5(a)(1),Aug. 26, 1992, 106 Stat. 945, authorized additional appropriations to Administrative Conference of the United States to carry out Pub. L. 101–648in fiscal years 1991, 1992, and 1993.

FORT DRUM — Researchers at the post have analyzed items found at the site of a blacksmith shop built 85 years ago primarily to help supply horseshoes to mounted cavalry units.
The items shed light on a time between the ends of World War I and World War II, when the military faced massive changes in technology to replace traditional horse-mounted fighting.
"It's so new, there's so much potential, but you're still sort of clinging to the old ways, the tried and true, simply because they've worked well in the past," said Michael R. Sprowles, an intern with the post's Cultural Resources Program who completed the research.
Using laser mapping technology, researchers have unearthed a wide range of artifacts from the shop, from expected items such as square steel bar stock pieces from trimmed horseshoes and horseshoe nails to a wine bottle and a vehicle headlamp.
Computer mapping technology allowed items to be inventoried based on location. A larger number of items was uncovered near where the shop's anvil would have been located, along with the back of the area where items may have been trashed.
"You don't think about trash you throw away, or what you leave behind, but it really shows how people lived their day-to-day lives," Mr. Sprowles said.
Excavation work at the site, off Route 26 near Great Bend, was done last summer through a contract with Colorado State University's Center for Environmental Management of Military Lands. The research was first presented at the annual meeting of the New York State Archaeological Association, held in April in Watertown.
The shop building, 39 feet, 8 inches by 25 feet, 1 inch, was finished May 16, 1928, as the post, then known as Pine Camp, was being used as a seasonal training area by the New York Army National Guard.
"It's sort of significant as it was sort of the last vestige for the old tactics of the Army," Mr. Sprowles said.
An expansion of the camp's horse stables followed the shop's construction the next year. Mr. Sprowles said the stables held about 1,200 horses at their peak.
The shop's final construction cost was $1,000, which in 2013 money would be $13,612.46, according to a calculator on the Bureau of Labor Statistics website.
Cavalry blacksmiths, or farriers, would have used the shop as their working point. Mr. Sprowles said their skills made them invaluable and gave them certain freedoms, as evidenced by the discovered wine bottle.
With the use of horses questioned by the early 1930s, the Army attempted multiple techniques to make the mounted cavalry units more relevant, such as transporting the units by truck. However, the end of World War II effectively ended the use of horses, a policy emphasized during congressional hearings in 1950.
The Army dismantled the shop that year, as shown by aerial photographs. The last Army farrier retired in 1967.
"This is sort of the phasing out of the old, and how it's completely replaced with innovation," Mr. Sprowles said.
Though the use of horses by American military forces has been limited for decades, it hasn't been completely eliminated. Mr. Sprowles noted horses were used in 2001 to move soldiers and supplies in Afghanistan in areas where modern vehicles could not travel.
He said the new research could provide a foundation for additional work at the site.

There have been five mass extinctions in history. The question is, when can we expect the sixth? Or has it already begun? Marek Kohn reports
From INTELLIGENT LIFE magazine, January/February 2013
FOUR MONITOR SCREENS reveal the interior of the compound, a lattice of enclosures with high wire fencing folded inwards at the top and electrified. These units are surrounded by a windowless perimeter, maximising security and keeping access to a minimum. The volunteer in front of the screens flicks between them, dragging a mouse to move the cameras around the enclosures, which are scrubland habitats in miniature. She picks out their occupants, stocky felines whose purposeful demeanour is offset by the jaunty tufts they wear on their ears. These are Iberian lynxes, the most endangered cats in the world.
It's feeding time. A partridge enters an enclosure and commences a tour of inspection; a lynx hurtles at it, legs stretching out almost flat, leaps and brings it down. These scenes are kept off the El Acebuche lynx centre's live web stream, though they are critically important to the captive breeding project that is under way here in southern Spain. This lunchtime is a test for one cub, who has never seen a partridge before. She seizes and dispatches the bird in a flash: a promising tick for her survival skill-set.
Partridges are a once-a-fortnight treat at El Acebuche. Iberian lynxes, which are about half the size of Eurasian lynxes and comparable to American bobcats, subsist almost entirely on rabbits and cannot survive without them. Rabbits have been hard hit in the Iberian region by viral diseases, including myxomatosis, deliberately introduced into Europe in 1952. Iberian lynxes were themselves persecuted by Provincial Boards for the Extermination of Vermin in the 1950s. Extermination gave way to protection, but poaching continued, and the toll on the roads increased as traffic grew and lynxes were forced to roam wider in search of rabbits. By the mid-2000s there were fewer than 150 adult Iberian lynxes alive. The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), which keeps the ledger of threatened species known as the Red List, classes the Iberian lynx as "critically endangered".
A 2010 census found that the numbers in the wild had increased to 250, and there are about 70 more in the captive breeding programme's five centres. Some 30 are in El Acebuche: this one compound thus contains more or less a tenth of all the Iberian lynxes in existence, protecting them from pathogens and humans. The monitoring continues round the clock. Once an hour the observer on duty notes what each lynx is doing and records the details on a central screen, to build up individual behaviour profiles. These offer indications as to how the animals might fare if released to live free. One of the danger signs is being friendly to their keepers.
For Iberian lynxes, living free does not really mean living in the wild. They have to fend for themselves in terrain on which humans have one claim after another. Although the Doñana area that includes El Acebuche is designated a national park, it is not the kind of epic wilderness that the term suggests in the United States. It's a reserve, hemmed and dissected, where some lines have been drawn in the sand. Although Iberian lynxes are exceptional in their scarcity, their conditions of existence are entirely typical on a planet that is being ever more densely colonised by its human population. The greater our dominance becomes, the more species will become as scarce as the Iberian lynx is today. Very few of them will benefit from the science, the technology, the volunteers, the political backing and the charisma that are combining to pull the lynx back from the brink.
Already a quarter of the mammal species surveyed by the IUCN are classed as threatened. So are 41% of the amphibians, 13% of the birds, a third of coral species and a third of conifers. And that may not be the half of it.
Five times in the history of life on Earth, mass extinctions have eliminated at least three-quarters of the species that were present before each episode began. The likely exterminators were volcanoes, noxious gases, climatic upheavals and the asteroid that did for the dinosaurs. Now a single species threatens to wipe out most of the others that surround it. We are faced with the realisation, as the ecologist Robert May puts it, that we "can now do things which are on the scale of being hit by an asteroid".

Comments about Galaxy Audio CM-130 Check Mate SPL Meter:
Picked this up to ride shotgun on the overall volume of the church praise band and contemporary worship service. It does the job. Easy to use - we use the slow setting and alternate back and forth between constant reading and max.
Very helpful.
Comments about Galaxy Audio CM-130 Check Mate SPL Meter:
This CM-130 is easy to use and does a good job. It's the right size for storage and it fits my hand. I don't know if it has a backlight, which would come in very handy in a dark concert hall.
This has nearly all the features I might want. If it had a signal generator output, in order to set (not just measure) the SPL, that would be great. The signal could be a tone or pink noise.
Seems OK so far. It doesn't seem like cheap crap at all. All the features work. The SPL levels sound right to my somewhat calibrated ear.
This unit is about 30% less expensive than the last SPL meter I got. That one did have a signal generator output, which I liked. All of it's controls and switches were mechanical, which was eventually what broke on that one.
Comments about Galaxy Audio CM-130 Check Mate SPL Meter:
I've never tried any other product of this type, but this one does the job for which I need it. Great for solo practice, band practice and rehearsal. Not sure about live professional performance; I don't know enough about this product type to recommend it as a professional tool for sound engineers, PA guys, etc. It's just good for general readings.
Comments about Galaxy Audio CM-130 Check Mate SPL Meter:
I purchased this last year to measure sound output of our acoustic drum kit, both with and without shield that we built. It works great! We also use to locate 'hot spots' in the worship center when band is playing through the house system. It will read out bass-weighted dB, overall dB, and peak dB at the push of a button. Also, you can choose slow vs. fast sampling to see what an 'average' dB is versus watching the level jump & and down. Great buy for the money.

Ankle Sprain
Ankle Sprain Overview
Sprained ankles are the most frequent type of musculoskeletal injury seen by primary-care providers.
Ankle sprains are common sports injuries but also happen during everyday activities. An unnatural twisting motion of the ankle joint can happen when the foot is planted awkwardly, when the ground is uneven, or when an unusual amount of force is applied to the joint.

Thank you for the comments about the bedroom curtains! The final score is...
The other day as I was tallying up the score, this comment came in that really got my attention.
I completely agree! To backtrack, I once posted a question about the mirrors in the room. I think some gold rub & buff will warm them up and completely change the look of the room. Once I make that change I am hoping it will be clear to me which way to go with the curtain color, but I am leaning toward gray. Thanks again for your moral support! I love having a panel of experts that I can go to for design advice and I value each and every opinion.
This week I had the opportunity to have dinner with Emily. Even though we have followed each other's blogs and kept in touch by email, we had never met in person. We had a great time talking about the things we enjoy and getting to know each other better. Emily has been so supportive of me and I was thrilled when she emailed to see if we could meet for dinner. I will also add that she is sweeter, funnier, and if you can believe it, prettier in person. Thanks for a great night Emily!
Have a great weekend!

I use a mail()-feedback creating a html-mail on one page. The $textbody contains the html-code with all variables of the formular, trivial so far. But I want to get the user's screen-resolution in the feedback-mail as well. As I understand, the necessary javascript must already have been executed on the client, when the server runs the php-script with the mail-function. So do I need to send the js-variables containing the resolution-values from each page, which may direct to the mail-script? Could I get the resolution on index.htm an store it for later use, perhaps by passing it in the URL? I never did that before so I don't know how to pass it with js and how to read the values with php. Okokok - you might say RTFM but this question seems to be too simple for mentioning it in a manual.

Tetanus (lockjaw) is a serious bacterial disease of the nervous system that causes painful tightening of the body muscles. It can lead to an alarming "locking" of the jaw so you cannot open your mouth or swallow.
Besides lockjaw, early symptoms can include stiffness in the neck and abdomen, muscle spasms and seizure-like activity. Tetanus enters the body through a break in the skin.
Diphtheria is a respiratory bacterial disease that causes a thick covering in the back of the throat. It can lead to breathing problems, paralysis, heart failure, and even death.
The gradual onset of symptoms includes a sore throat and a low-grade fever. Diphtheria is spread by coughing and sneezing.
Several combination vaccines are used to prevent tetanus and diphtheria among children, adolescents, and adults including DTaP, Tdap, DT, and Td.
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends 5 doses of diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and acellular pertussis (DTaP) vaccine for infants and children. One dose of DTaP vaccine is recommended at each of the following ages: 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 15-18 months, and 4-6 years old. DTaP vaccine may be given at the same time as other vaccines.
Everyone needs protection from diphtheria and tetanus. If you have not had a booster shot in 10 years or more, have recently had spider bites or puncture wounds, or have never had the initial 3-shot series -- you should be vaccinated.
The Columbia/Boone County Department of Public Health and Human Services has the Td vaccine available . To be vaccinated, visit us.

The ongoing search for missing Utah woman Susan Powell now has the involvment of the Carbon County Sheriff's Office, according to Sheriff James Cordova.
Cordova said the West Valley City Police Department, which is heading the search for Powell, requested the help which has shifted to Topaz Mountain, about 40 miles northwest of Delta, in Juab County.
The West Valley City Police Department requested that cavader dogs and their handlers be sent out to the the areas where authorities are searching, according to Cordova.
Authorities have been searching for Powell, who has been missing since Dec. 6, 2009.
Cavader dogs from many local agencies have been involved of the search, which was expected to finish this week.
However on Wednesday afternoon, authorities searching in the area found some human remains.
Authorities, who are still in the process of documenting everything at the site, are unsure if the remains belong to Powell.

Christi Lassen of Olivia Olive Oil displays some of the many varieties of oil in her shop. / Dipti Vaidya / The Tennessean
Christi Lassen
Olivia Olive Oil
443 Cool Springs Blvd.
Sorry to be a downer, but that greenish-yellow bottle of olive oil youve been picking up in the grocery aisle might not be the real deal. Thankfully, we have people in the area like Christi Lassen, owner of Olivia Olive Oil, to give us an education and a taste of olive oil from her Franklin shop.
How did you decide to open your shop?
I fell in love with the Nashville and Franklin area and wanted to move here from Southern California. A friend of mine had opened a similar store in Naples, Fla., and had me doing some research for her. There are a lot of olive groves and some wonderful olive oil being produced in Northern California these days, so that was my introduction.
The trend for specialty olive oil stores is growing due to the increased knowledge of the tremendous health benefits, and conversely due to the lack of product standards enforcement. A lot of products sold in grocery stores labeled extra virgin olive oil, especially from Europe, do not actually meet the criteria. They have been cut with lesser grade oil, other vegetable oils or even oil that could not legally be sold for consumption, but the FDA rarely tests for adulteration. This led to a market for a store that only carries true extra virgin olive oil that has been tested to prove its of the freshest, highest quality and thus carries the greatest flavor and health benefits.
Nashville is a bit of a foodie town and becoming more health conscious, so I thought this store could be a great addition to the neighborhood. Plus I had to either look for a job or create one!
Can you explain what happens at an olive oil tasting bar? What can people expect to learn?
Its fun! Even kids enjoy it. Youll do a lot of swirling, sipping and bread dipping. You get introduced to olive oils from around the world, as well as flavor-fused olive oils and flavored and aged balsamic vinegars. Like wine, olive oil ranges in flavor depending upon the varietal of olive(s) that were used, the region its from, growing conditions and whether it was harvested early or late in the season. Youll learn about the different groves, how the olive oil was produced, recipe and cooking suggestions, and the health benefits. We do a little mixology, creating combinations with the oils and vinegars. And you get to play and mix up your own creations.
Where does your olive oil come from?
Right now we have a selection from Italy (Sicily and Tuscany), Spain (Baena in the Cordova region), Chile (near Santiago) and Northern California. The selection may change from harvest to harvest as we sample a lot of different oils from different groves around the world and create a small selection of our favorites in a range of flavor from delicate and buttery to fruity to robust and peppery.
What other specialty foods do you sell?
We carry a variety of gourmet foods such as olives, pasta and sauces, chutneys, pepper jellies and spice blends. We even carry body spa and pet care products based with olive oil.
Whats your favorite type and/or way to enjoy olive oil these days?
Drizzled over a Caprese salad with our traditional 18-year aged balsamic vinegar.
Whats your favorite ingredient other than olive oil?
Right now Im really into exploring different cheeses. There is a whole world of variety. Otherwise, my favorite stand-by ingredients are basil and whatever fresh vegetables are in season.
What could we find in your home fridge?
Fresh fruits and vegetables, cheese, my favorite Ritrovo brand pasta sauce, Pellegrino, kombucha and sauvignon blanc.
If you could choose your final meal, what would it be?
Pizza! Thin and crispy with spicy Italian sausage, sweet tomato sauce with mozzarella, Asiago and provolone cheese, drizzled with habanero olive oil. A Caprese salad. And a glass of Cakebread Sauvignon Blanc. Heaven.
