iBeacon revolution: what is it?
Posted November 23, 2015on:
iBeacon is the name used for Apple's technology that provides location-based services and information to mobile applications on both Android and iOS devices using Bluetooth Low Energy.
The beacons themselves are small transmitters that can be placed in stores or specific points of interest, such as museums or airports. Apps installed on mobile devices "listen" for the signal and respond accordingly when the phone comes within range.
iBeacon changes shoppers into byers
First of all, iBeacon technology opens great possibilities to retailers. Some of American and European big retailers already take advantage of iBeacon: Walmart, Macy's, Tesco, etc
Using iBeacon, customers can find and watch videos, receive coupons and other discounts in real time, depending on where they are in a store.
IBeacon also helps to collect analytical info about customers` experience. Businesses and retailers now have a direct way to find out what customers are doing, exactly where in the store they are doing it, what they are looking at, how long they are looking at it, and maybe what they decided to buy at the last second instead.
At last, iBeacon can bring popularity to contactless payment. iBeacons ability to track a specific phone, linked to an Apple ID and user account opens the door for an Apple-based payment system.
iBeacon is not only about retail. The iBeacon ecosystem has the potential to change other industries. Here are some examples.
Event Industry: conferences and concerts, museums and exhibitions.
Here are a few ways iBeacons could help to manage events and improve the attendee experience:
-Attendee check-in. Using the event's app, attendees check themselves in and avoid line-ups.
-Navigation. iBeacons provide devices with extremely accurate location services. In large conference facilities, museums and exhibitions, iBeacons can be used to power hyper-accurate floor maps.
-Networking. Using iBeacons, attendees can network through an opt-in feature in the event's app, allowing them to discover and message other attendees. With Linkedin integration, attendees can get a detailed look at who is around them and decide who they would like to connect with. iBeacons were successfully used at Cannes Lions festival for networking with attendees.
-Promotions and advertisements. Instead of distributing brochures or physical promotional materials, an exhibitor can send targeted promotions to attract attendees to their stand.
-Gamification. Integrating gamification into events will provide new ways to engage and stimulate attendees. For example, iBeacons could be used for social games to drive networking, venue tours tailored to indiviual interests, or scavenger hunts for exclusive information and prizes.
Home automation systems
As we get closer to the coming smart home revolution, it's clear that smartphones and tablets are going to be the devices that we use to control our lamps, lights, thermostats, sprinklers, security systems and entertainment systems. Beacons will detect when you arrive home and as you pull into the driveway , the lights will come on. The door is unlocked for you as you approach itJ
Enabled with touch devices, waiters don't have to rush to the kitchen in order to dispatch orders. In other cases, clients can make orders directly on tablets available at the table. With iBeacons, the app automatically knows which table the waiter is at. It can display the client name (with eventual dinning/preferences history) and automatically associate orders with tables without requiring waiters to manually select a table number.
The iBeacon platform offers a wide range of applications that can be applied on an educational context. From simple games that require students to move around, explore and find things to more scientifc or technical experiments in the classroom. Moreover teachers can track who from the students are present and send notifications to the parents whose children are away.
IBeacon is a new emerging technology that may change the world we live in. Things move quickly in any field in which a technology innovation has backing and breadth like this. This short list is only an introduction to the possibilities of iBeacon and where this technology can be applied.
And what do you think of iBeacon? Will it change our lives in the near future?
I`ll be happy to know your thoughts.

The mobile world is continuing its rapid growth while we are becoming more and more reliant on our mobile devices in everyday life.
By 2016, it's expected that there will be more than 10 billion mobile Internet devices in use, so the mobile application industry will grow tremendously to match the demand and keep up with ever evolving technologies.
Let's have a look at obvious technologies trends continuing to influence the mobile world nowadays.
Three main platforms and architectures
In a short period of time a majority of big companies will need a special set of development tools to support three key platforms – iOS, Android, Windows and three application architectures – native, hybrid and mobile Web. Tool selection won't be that easy, rising up technical issues and nontechnical ones such as productivity versus vendor stability. Undoubtedly most big organizations will need several tools to deliver to the architectures and platforms they require.
Being fragmented, immature and thus possessing many implementation and security risks, HTML5 won't be a simple solution for mobile application portability. However as it matures, the mobile Web and hybrid applications will become more and more popular. So despite many challenges HTML5 faces, we could expect that it will be rather essential for organizations delivering applications across multiple platforms.
Advanced mobile user experience design
A vast majority of new techniques and methodologies such as motivational design, "quiet" design and "playful" interfaces contribute to exceptional user experiences most leading mobile apps have. Designers are also creating apps that can accommodate mobile challenges, such as partial user attention and interruption, or that can exploit technologies with novel features or "wow" factors, such as augmented reality. Leading consumer apps are setting high standards for user interface design, and all organizations must master new skills and work with new partners to meet growing user expectations.
High-precision location sensing
Knowing the location of a person to within a few meters is a key factor in the delivery of highly relevant contextual information and services. Applications that use the precise indoor location currently exploit such technologies Wi-Fi, imaging, ultrasonic beacons and geomagnetics. Such technologies as smart lighting will also become important. Precise indoor location sensing in combination with mobile applications will create a new generation of highly personalized services and information.
Mobile phone as a universal remote
Some time ago we had to stay in front of TV in order to turn channels. Later remote controls were sold with every TV and stereo on the market. Nowadays, our homes have become smarter and many people manage their homes with the help of a smart phone. In 2015, mobile applications are expected to move to the next level, becoming a universal remote control for your life. Air conditioner controls and alarm systems are heading the list with cars and door locks to go behind soon. With all the different data including financial, electronic, home and automotive deeply embedded in your phone, the general remote seems to be a usual extension.
Apps will start thinking for you
Artificial intelligence is going to influence mobile applications in 2015, initially with smarter apps that think for you. The ability of apps to forecast behavior and lessen manual work is amazing. In the year 2015, apps will begin to foresee where you are going, what thoughts you are having and the types of information you might require. Imagine future applications less of a tool and more of an associate.
Wearable Devices
The smartphone will become the center of personal-computer network consisting of wearable devices such as on-body healthcare sensors, smart jewelry, smart watches, display devices such as Google Glass and different sensors embedded in clothing and shoes. These gadgets will communicate with mobile applications to deliver information in new ways and include a wide range of products and services in such areas as sports, fitness, fashion, hobbies and health.
What are your predictions on mobile technologies trends for the upcoming time? Eager to hear your thoughts :)

Responsive Web Design
Posted October 10, 2014on:
People are increasingly making use of their mobile terminals (tablet and smartphones) to connect to the internet and it is important to adapt websites to the new browsing habits. Each terminal has its own features and limitations (such as the screen size) which will determine how a website will be displayed. The Responsive Design is a compelling solution if you want to have your website smoothly displayed on multiple screen sizes.
Responsive web design (RWD), is an important evolution in an increasingly on-demand world. RWD is a design approach that lets you view content in a way that is optimized for the screen size that you are viewing it on. For example, if I access a RWD website on my laptop, I will see the content formatted in a way that is optimal for a larger screen. And if I access that same website on my smart phone, I will see the same content reformatted to fit that screen size. The important thing about this is that it is showing me the same content whether it is on a large screen or small screen, only the layout is different.
It wasn't long ago that the prevailing practice, when considering how to make your website mobile friendly, was to create a separate website for mobile devices along with separate content. The content would be pulled from the existing site and edited down for brevity with some sections being omitted entirely. All of this was based on the assumption that visitors to the mobile site would only want certain kinds of information and not others. Specifically information that would be consumed while "on the go," and therefore needed to be short, to the point, and informative. Anything less, wouldn't make it into the mobile site. The implications are that some of the content on the non-mobile site may be potentially long, pointless, and ultimately not very valuable.
One interesting aspect of responsive website design is that it forces us to think about the value of content. If it's going to be shared across all devices, then anything other than short, to the point, and informative, doesn't make the cut. This is a great filter because it helps us focus on the purpose of the information.
Does this mean you should convert your website to a Responsive design? Let's consider the Advantages of Responsive web design:
- The advantages of Responsive Design are numerous. This technique allows a website to automatically adapt itself to the different screen resolutions.
- Columns and images are automatically adjusted, resized and moved automatically according to the screen resolution. This technique allows optimum ergonomics in preserving the layout and the display of the information from the website.
- The Responsive Design is a strategic long-term solution and you don't have to worry about redirecting users to another version of your website. Once deployed, there is very little maintenance to perform and the cost of development could be often lower than creating and maintaining a dedicated mobile site.
- Responsive Design also implies having a unique URL: perfect for promotional campaigns.
There are certainly some Disadvantages to Responsive web design so I thought I would list these along with pros for RWD:
- If there are many benefits, there are still some drawbacks to Responsive Design. These include a longer loading time. Most of the time, users (browsers) are obliged to download useless a HTML/CSS codes. Similarly, the images are often stretched and not simply resized causing a negative impact on the loading time.
- Responsive Design won't allow you to easily adjust the titles, descriptions and other content on mobile phones. In addition, the development of Responsive Design websites takes more time.
- The Initial Cost. It is obviously takes longer to code and test a website that is to work on a wide variety of screen sizes and devices so the initial cost of having a website designed is usually could be higher than having a non responsive site designed.
The Responsive Design is definitely an effective solution to provide an optimal user experience. This is a major evolution of web design inviting designers to take a new challenge. Disadvantages and limitations of using this technique are easily overcome by putting more emphasis on the design and development stages of your website. But still I have added the advantages and disadvantages above so that people can make their own mind up about the responsive approach, whether you might be an individual looking for a new web site or a designer considering the expansion of your own design services, it is always nice to know the pros and cons of any concept.
What are your thoughts on Responsive web design?

PhoneGap: good or bad?
Posted May 25, 2014on:

There exist a lot of mobile app development frameworks. Cross-platform tools reduce barriers to entry and democratise app development, by allowing developers from any language (HTML, Java, C++), any background (hobbyist, pros, agencies, corporates) and any skill level (visual designer to hard-core developer) to build mobile apps. Just imagine that by using a cross-platform tool and covering just two platforms such as Android and iOS, you will cover 91% of the whole smartphone market. Sounds appealing:)
PhoneGap and Sencha are the most widespread: they are used by 32% and 30% of cross-platform developers, irrespective of their primary tools. I`m suggesting to have a closer look at PhoneGap which turns to be the most popular tool.
How it works
Good moments
-The most obvious one is cross-platform capabilities. Currently PhoneGap supports the following platforms: iOS, Android, webOS, Windows Phone, BlackBerry, Symbian OS, Tizen.
-PhoneGap app is written upon HTML, JavaScript and CSS, with the opportunities of using numerous external libraries;
-Adjustments can be performed via browser; remote adjustments can be performed on a mobile device via "weinre".
A blot on the landscape:)
-Many users complain of the irresponsiveness of PhoneGap apps. Here I`m talking about one of the specifics of the PhoneGap development: the 300 millisecond lag between touch and click event on touchscreens. The solution to this problem can be easily found around the Internet. There are several JavaScript libraries, and their work principle is the same – tracking such events as TouchStart and TouchEnd – and at the moment when the latter is done, runs a click event.
– Users feel uncomfortable when touching a button and it doesn`t work. This is one of the most widespread bugs in PhoneGap apps. This bug appears due to improperly created interface, and it raises the problem of touching. The fact is that we look at the touchscreen at an angle and the visual contact area between the finger and the screen differs from the real contact area. This can be corrected quite simply – proper layout of the app page. For example, the area of response can be made bigger than the button itself.
– On average, an app has 5 to 15 pages. But unfortunately, JavaScript apps have no mechanism to store and transmit data between the pages. One of the simplest ways to solve this problem is using one-page apps. These are apps that display the same page, which has changing content. This approach however causes lags in the app.
-Nevertheless this is a cross-platform tool, UI should be optimized for different platforms. But it's much faster, than creating another native app from scratch;
As you can see, these drawbacks are not quite 'drawbacks' in their nature, but rather technical conditions of PhoneGap, which you should consider, like in a usual development process for any other platform.
Certainly, PhoneGap is not a "miracle cure" but can be a good way out if wisely used. And what are your thoughts on PhoneGap?

iOS7 has been the greatest change to Apple`s iOS almost since its introduction. And iOS 7 differs quite a lot from its previous version. It`s easier, brighter, bolder and flows better than its predecessors. It has not only the updated user interface but also it`s packed with a great deal of new features.Let`s take a look at iOS7 and compare its major changes to iOS6.
Lock screen: One of the nicest features of iOS 7 is parallax effect: when you move the phone, wallpaper appears to move as well. iOS 7 gets rid of the black bars and becomes lighter. At first this may seem unusual but you get used to it quickly and won`t move back to the old look and feel. Also iOS 7 has four swipeable bits: unlocking, Camera, swiping down from the top of the screen to see notifications, and swiping up from the bottom to bring up Control Center.
Control Center: iOS users have been waiting for it for agesJ now there is no need to jump through endless Settings screen. Control Center is the answer: it provides quick access to the most important key features: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Airplane Mode, Rotation Lock and Do Not Disturb. It also provides media playback controls, Airdrop file sharing, and quick access to the phone's LED light and the Clock, Calculator and Camera apps.
Notification Center: Last year iOS 6 introduced the Notification Centre – offering little gobbets of information from your email, or stocks, or Twitter, or games. It was pretty basic. Now it's split into three elements – Today (a calendar and weather update), All (the things you used to find in the old Notifications) and Missed (appointments, calls). The calendar element is like Windows Phone, though more useful (you get a day view). You can decide what is visible in the lock screen – it won't show all your notifications if you don't want.
AirDrop: Thanks to AirDrop it became easier to share files from iOS devices. Now a "sharing" icon in an app lets you send your data to those willing to receive it. You choose AirDrop and you get a list of people in the vicinity. Press their icon, and it's done. Nice, isn`t it?
If you don't plan to use this feature in iOS 7 then turn it off to safe battery life.
Camera and Photos : Have also experienced great changes. Camera app now four kinds of shooting: video, photo, square (for Instagram-style shots) and Pano (for panoramas) and a number of pleasant new features.. As for Photos app, it`s became easier to search for photos as they are organized into collections. Your photos can be sorted by date or by location (when using GPS)
Safari/Search: It has also been updated: interface became simpler : it disappears completely when scrolling through pages, and the interface for switching tabs became more visual.
Mail: Mail application got some great new features: mail management became easier. There appeared gesture control for messages and smart mailboxes
Multitasking: Now you can double-click the home button in iOS to get you to a number of recently used apps. What is more iOS 7 learns when you like to use your apps and can update your content before you launch them. So if you tend to check your favorite social app at 9:00 every morning, your feed will be ready and waiting for you.
That was an overview of the main updates that experienced iOS7. Many things have changed and many users that updated to iOS 7 say that they will never return to iOS 6 :)
And what about you: have you already updated to iOS 7 and can share your experience?
Interesting to know your thoughts.

What to choose to mobilize your site: mobify/bmobilized, native app, responsive design or mobile version from the main site?
Posted April 18, 2013on:
There is no secret to anyone that people are browsing the web more from their smartphones and tablets rather than from traditional computers. So having a mobile-friendly site for business nowadays is more important than ever. This is both a big problem and a big opportunity for businesses seeking to engage with new customers.
In the end of 2012, Google conducted an independent survey to learn what users want most from mobile sites today. And the numbers are striking! In fact mobile-friendly site can turn users into customers, according to a survey about 67 percent indicated they would be more likely to purchase a product or service from a business that built a mobile-friendly website. On the contrary not having a mobile-friendly site helps your competitors , for example, 61 percent of users indicated that they'd leave a site that's not optimized for mobile. Actually non-mobile friendly sites can hurt a company's reputation: about 52% of users said that a bad mobile experience made them less likely to engage with a company and 48% said that if a site didn't work well on their smartphones, it made them feel like the company didn't care about their business
Just shrinking your text into the device's screen won't give good impression about your business to the customer. The development of your mobile site should be determined by the kinds of products and services your business provides.
There are several options how to optimize your website for mobile, free and paid, having their own pros and cons. Here are a few strategies how to make your site mobile friendly:
– Mobile Website Conversion Service
There is a number of services on the web, that will convert your existing website and provide a script that will direct mobile users to your newly created mobile site from the main website. Among these services are Duda Mobile, bMobilized, and Mobify
– Separate Native Mobile Site
Some businesses want to keep their desktop and mobile websites separate. By creating a mobile website, you maintain control: its design, maintenance, hosting, and security. A script will be added to the main website that will determine if the visitor is using a mobile device and if so, it will automatically direct the visitor to the mobile version.
– Responsive Design
Responsive design is becoming more and more popular. It allows having one website that will display correctly on all devices — desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone. It takes advantage of CSS "media queries" to style pages based on the width of the device being used. To determine if your website is responsive, just resize the browser window. If it adjusts — so that the images and text are readable with a narrower browser window — it's responsive.
-Mobile Version from the Main Site
Some e-commerce providers are heading for mobile. For example, Magento has taken its way to mobile commerce! Magento Mobile introduces exciting Free of cost Magento Mobile extension which allows store owners to manage multiple native applications across various mobile devices from a single Magento interface and provides support for iPhone, iPad and Android base mobile devices. The beauty of Magento Mobile is that it integrates just seamlessly with your account management, product catalog and checkout functions and facilitates your users to experience the same functionality of web store on their mobile devices.
In this article I wanted to draw your attention to the importance of optimizing your website to mobile. Is having a mobile friendly website important for you?

Nowadays, more and more people use their mobile devices for the majority of their computer needs. That's why mobile web application frameworks are in high demand for developers. There are several great mobile web frameworks that allow you to create an application with a native "look and feel" interface. Among them are jQuery Mobile, Sencha Touch, iWebKit, DHTMLX Touch, etc. If you have decided to develop a web application for mobile devices and you want to use a client-side framework to achieve this, Sencha Touch (ST) and JQueryMobile (JQM) seem to be the most serious options. What are their strong and weak points? Let's see.
Sencha Touch
ST is a mobile web app development framework, which is compatible with HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. It is really a sensational framework widely used by mobile web developers. With it building web apps for mobile platforms which feel more like native apps is not a problem for a developer.
ST comes with a MVC framework which leads to a well structured code base. It is really a big plus, especially for large projects. Using ST you will likely not have to write a lot of HTML as the DOM (Document Object Model )is generated out of the objects models / widgets that you use. Besides, a wide range of UI widgets to choose from, as well as robust data, layout and component models are at your disposal.
Speaking of device support, ST website actually supports iPhone, Android and BlackBerry. It works really good on iOS. As for Android, it can be slow on large lists. Some problems may occur with Blackberry, so it may be better to choose another framework for this device.
ST also has enhanced support for touch events such as double tap, swipe, hold, pinch and rotate.
Developing on your desktop you should keep in mind that ST does not support all browser engines. You are required to use a browser based on Webkit (like Google Chrome or Safari). You are not able to view Sencha Touch apps in Firefox, Internet Explorer, or any other browser not using the Webkit engine.
ST provides great API documentation and sample demos. But the ST API uses a fairly large (120kb) JavaScript library that is much larger than the jQuery Mobile library.
ST is not easy to get running on the fly. It is almost a purely programmatic model, as you don't design pages in HTML, but programmatically add elements to a page. So sometimes it's difficult to make web design separately in HTML.
As for converting sites to work with the framework, it may involve a full front-end rewrite and it is very hard to debug and fix errors in ST.
Pros: MVC codebase; good support of iOS; enhanced support for touch events; great API documentation and sample demos
Cons: is not easy to get running on the fly; a large JavaScript library; problems with converting sites to work with the framework; very hard to debug and fix errors; may be slow on Android; not working properly on Blackberry
jQuery Mobile
JQM is Touch-Optimized Web Framework for Smartphones & Tablets. It is a unified user interface system across all popular mobile device platforms, built on the rock-solid jQuery and jQuery UI foundation.
JQM is really quick to develop with. You can just start with clean HTML markup and then apply "progressive enhancement techniques" or extra HTML element attributes to integrate mobile features into an existing semantic structure.
As for MVC, JQM doesn't have it. So lot of care has to be taken while organizing the code.
The framework claims to offer a broad level of support across a wide range of platforms, and progressive enhancement for older devices and operating systems. Instead of writing unique apps for each mobile device or OS, the jQuery mobile framework will allow you to design a single highly branded and customized web application that will work on all popular smartphone and tablet platforms.
JQM includes a great AJAX-powered navigation system which enables animated page transitions while maintaining back button, bookmarking and clean URLs.
The framework comes with a CSS theme styling system that enables a simple project to get off the ground very quickly. Then this can be easily extended with your own custom styles. But the CSS theme styling system has limited options so sites built can look similar.
The bad thing is that page transitions and animations don't feel 'native' enough and can be sluggish sometimes.
Pros: JQM is quick to develop with; supports all major browsers and platforms; has a great AJAX-powered navigation system; CSS theme styling system enables a simple project start very quickly
Cons: no given code structure (MVC); CSS theme styling system has limited options (sites may look similar); page transitions and animations don't feel 'native' enough
So after comparing these two frameworks on some points, we see that ST has a given code structure and feels more like coding in Java/C# while jQuery Mobile is more like web with the HTML you write. So it's better to use ST if you are used to Java/C# and only want to support such devices as iPhone and Android. And if you are a webdeveloper, used to jQuery and HTML and want to support the majority of devices and browsers, using jQuery Mobile seems to be more sound.
And what are your thoughts? I'm eager to know which mobile web application framework will you define as the best solution for developing a web app for a mobile device? Will it be Sencha Touch or jQuery mobile or some other great framework? Thanks and looking forward to your comments!

How do you know if a western hat is for men or women? I'm looking for one that's white or light that will work for barrel racing. My shirt is light pink plaid.
And 2nd question how can you tell if boots are for riding or just the western look.
Would you go with a black and pink theme, or brown and pink? Brown seems better for barrel racing, but opinions wanted.
And what type of belt would look good.

Here came a vehicle on the otherwise empty road; our driver asked the old lady at the wheel if we could get to Kawauchi.
High-end art needs to come with a chain-of-custody that authenticates it; otherwise it's basically worthless.
The real story is how Tampa was otherwise perfect for the Republicans and Mitt Romney.
There is some increment there that we make possible that would not otherwise be there.
Fueled by a well-honed messaging and technology-driven targeting, an otherwise unknown candidate sailed into office.
Do your work honestly and thoroughly, even though it be the custom to do otherwise.
otherwise I may behave in a manner to be regretted in my calmer moments.
It was in the month of May, and not likely to be otherwise than fine.
"Of course I am, otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned it," declared Emma.
It was otherwise in the infancy of artillery and military engineering.

Cornyn stresses common ground
Senator speaks to Log Cabin group
WASHINGTON — Texas Sen. John Cornyn told a Republican gay and lesbian group that he was amazed at some of the controversy surrounding his appearance at the group's fundraising event Wednesday evening.
"I guess perhaps it speaks to the times we find ourselves in where people are so unwilling to find grounds of commonality where we do agree despite some honest differences and firmly held differences of opinion," Cornyn told about 60 guests at the Log Cabin Republicans Political Action Committee.
They listened, clapping enthusiastically at times, to the Senate's chief fundraiser the day after the social conservative voted to block the repeal of the ban on openly gay and lesbian people serving in the military. The LCR is leading a legal fight to repeal the ban.
Cornyn also opposes same-sex marriage.
The event was closed to the press, but an audio recording showed that those attending the event sang "Happy Birthday" to Cornyn's wife, Sandy, after he told them it was her birthday Tuesday.
"I'm sure you have made her day," Cornyn, chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said in the recording provided by an attendee of the PAC reception.
Cornyn launched into a call to action to get more Republicans into office Nov. 2.
"What I'm here today to say is we need all hands on deck," Cornyn said. "We need every single Republican, every single Independent, every single disaffected Democrat to help us fight the Obama agenda and make sure President Obama is a one-term president."
Cornyn told the LCR PAC that he believes "every person is entitled to be treated with respect, and I think part of respect is to acknowledge differences where they are, where they do exist."
But it's also important to look for opportunities to agree on important matters, Cornyn said.
And he said he knows they all agree, as loyal Republicans, on the importance of limited government, lower taxation, free trade and common-sense laws that facilitate economic development, economic growth and job creation.
He also touted Texas.
"I look to the successes we've had back in Texas relative to the rest of the nation, and what I conclude from that is policy really does make a difference," he said.
The Lone Star State has relatively low taxation and common-sense regulation, Cornyn said.
"We believe that free trade is not a dirty word like it is apparently with the administration and the current majority," he said.
Texas is a model that should be followed in Washington, he said.
Cornyn also touted a book called "The Battle" by Arthur Brooks of the conservative think tank American Enterprise Institute, saying the new culture wars are between people who believe in big government and those who believe in free enterprise.
He told the LCR PAC that he looks forward to working with them.
"We have only a scant 41 days between now and the election," Cornyn said. "You ask who's counting. Well, I am. And I trust you will because it will impart a sense of urgency that I feel and that I think certainly the American people feel
Cornyn spent about 45 minutes at the event before sweeping out. He declined to comment on his way out.
At the beginning of his speech, he referred to a request to cancel his appearance at the LCR event from Tony Perkins, president of conservative Christian think tank Family Research Council, which opposes same-sex marriage and the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell."
Another Texas congressman did cancel his appearance at the LCR dinner following the PAC reception.
Dallas Rep. Pete Sessions, chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, could not attend because he had to be at a House GOP Conference meeting Wednesday night, said Paul Lindsay, NRCC spokesman.
The NRCC is the fundraising arm for House Republicans.
House Republican lawmakers plan to roll out a new GOP agenda today to help persuade voters to choose Republicans in midterm elections Nov. 2.
Lindsay said the meeting was scheduled after Sessions had agreed to speak at the LCR dinner and that Sessions had been planning to attend the dinner.
An NRCC aide appeared on Sessions' behalf at the dinner, and those attending watched a video of Sessions delivering a message somewhat similar to Cornyn's.
LCR Executive Director R. Clarke Cooper said the GOP conference meeting "created a virtual 52-card pickup for all the lawmakers' schedules."
LCR staff members had to do some juggling and rescheduling, Cooper said.

Finnish phone maker Nokia launched its first touch-screen phone on Thursday, intending to one-up Apple's iPhone on features and be competitively priced.
Microsoft said Tuesday that it will deliver a version of its Silverlight media player for Nokia's market-leading S60 platform for smartphones by the end of this year.
The N800 Internet Tablet, by Nokia, costs about £280.
Nokia's N800 Internet Tablet is one of those devices that's fascinating and unique enough to make the geeky part of your heart go pitter-patter with excitement but may not fit the needs of a lot of people.
Nokia, the world's largest handset maker, has agreed to acquire Loudeye, a provider of digital media distribution services, for $60 million, the two companies announced Tuesday.
Nokia reported increased sales and profit for the second quarter, lifted by strong performance in multimedia products. Mobile phone sales contributed to the sales gain, but falling margins in that division meant a slight decline in operating profit there.
Nokia is continuing to gather partners for its N-Gage gaming platform, revealing that both Atari and Capcom will be make games available on the wireless gaming device.
Nokia has launched a new, curvier and cheaper version of its N-Gage gaming device, hoping to spark interest in the combined mobile phone and game-playing product.
Nokia and Sega jointly launched a global, massively multiplayer online game for the N-Gage gaming handset on Wednesday.
Declaring mobile imaging here to stay, Nokia has unveiled its first megapixel camera phone at the Cebit trade show in Hanover, Germany, replete with imaging applications and the ability to send images to a printer via a Bluetooth wireless connection.

New heart failure drug works much better than current treatment, study finds
In a huge international study, an experimental drug for heart failure worked significantly better than the backbone of treatment, paving the way for the biggest therapeutic advance in decades.
Novartis' twice-a-day pill, known by its code name, LCZ696, reduced deaths, hospitalizations and disabling symptoms of heart failure. It had fewer serious side effects than the standard therapy, a blood-pressure-lowering medication called enalapril.
"We designed this study to try to change the cornerstone of treatment — to replace enalapril," said lead study co-author Milton Packer, a cardiologist and heart failure researcher at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. "The results are not only compelling, but exceeded our expectations."
In an editorial accompanying the study, published online on Saturday in the New England Journal of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania cardiologist Mariell Jessup wrote that the novel therapy may "represent a new threshold of hope for patients with heart failure."
Heart failure, the only cardiovascular disease on the rise, affects 5 million people in the United States.
A progressive disorder, it begins when heart cells are injured by a heart attack, infection, chemotherapy or other causes. Healthy cells try to compensate by overworking and enlarging, while the body retains water and increases blood pressure in a futile effort to improve blood flow.
Until the 1980s, the standard treatments — digoxin, which strengthens heart contractions, and diuretics, which increase urine output — did nothing to reduce mortality and little to relieve the symptoms of breathlessness, fatigue and swelling.
Then enalapril was developed. It received approval in 1985 and was the first in a class of drugs called ACE inhibitors. These compounds, which lower blood pressure by widening the blood vessels, improved symptoms and survival. Further progress was made by combining ACE inhibitors with drugs that block adrenaline, as well as more sophisticated diuretics.
Even with all that, about 50 percent of heart failure patients die within five years.
The latest advance involves blocking an enzyme — neprilysin — that plays a key role in the process of blood vessel constriction, fluid retention and heart enlargement that makes the heart gradually fail.
"This is a new pathway. That's what's really exciting," Jessup said, adding that other pharmaceutical companies are developing their own anti-neprilysin compounds.
Novartis will ask the Food and Drug Administration to approve the drug.
Novartis' new drug combines its neprilysin inhibitor with valsartan, a blood pressure-lowering drug that works a little differently from enalapril.
The pivotal study, which began in 2009, enrolled 8,400 patients with mild to moderately severe heart failure at more than 1,000 centers around the world, making it the largest clinical trial in heart failure ever undertaken. The patients were randomly assigned to take LCZ696 or enalapril, plus other medications that were part of their prescribed regimen.
The trial was stopped early, after following patients for a median of 27 months, because the new drug met criteria for "overwhelming benefit."
Of 4,187 patients on the new drug, 914 died from cardiovascular causes or were hospitalized for worsening heart failure — 21.8 percent of the group. That's compared with 1,117 deaths and hospitalizations (26.5 percent) among 4,212 people taking enalapril.
The Novartis drug was better tolerated. Slightly less than 11 percent quit because of side effects such as dangerously low blood pressure or worsening kidney function, compared with about 12 percent for enalapril.
On a questionnaire, patients taking LCZ696 reported more improvement in heart failure symptoms and physical limitations than the comparison group.

Johnathon Schaech welcomes baby boy Camden Quinn
Break out the cigars -- Johnathon Schaech is a dad! The "Ray Donovan" actor, 44, and his new wife, Julie Solomon, 29, welcomed their first child, a son, on Sept. 12, his rep confirms to Us Weekly.
Baby boy Camden Quinn Schaech was born in Los Angeles at 2:50 a.m., the rep tells Us. He weighed in at 7 pounds, 15 ounces and measured 19 inches.
Incidentally, Schaech's character on Showtime's "Ray Donovan," Sean Walker, also has a new baby. "I get such a kick out of the uniqueness of him having a baby and me having a baby," the "That Thing You Do" star told Elle magazine recently. "Liev [Schreiber] actually had to teach me how to hold the head of the baby."
PHOTOS: Celeb mommy must-haves
He explained, "In the second episode, I carry the baby over to Liev and tell him to smell her head. The line was, 'Smell her hair,' but she didn't have any hair, so I was trying to make Liev laugh. He came to me after the first take and said I should support the baby at the back of the neck, so the head doesn't move so much."
PHOTOS: Celeb baby names explained
Schaech also has good parenting examples in his own mother and father. Speaking about his childhood in an interview with the Baltimore Sun this month, he said the values they instilled in him have helped him move between "the grounded way in which I was brought up in Edgewood, [Maryland], and then the Hollywood way."
"My parents instilled something greater than myself," he told the paper. "They instilled faith in me."
This is the first child for both Schaech and his wife, who married in a secret ceremony this summer. He was previously wed to actress Christina Applegate and to country singer Jana Kramer.

It's one thing to for everyone to know whom a major party is going to nominate for president long before it happens. In 2000, for example, it was widely expected that Vice President Al Gore would be the Democratic nominee to succeed Bill Clinton, and there's nothing strange about that.
But it's unusual, even bizarre, how it is virtually assumed that the Republican nominee this year will ask Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) to be his running mate. Candidates are usually coy about whom they might put on their ticket, but in a recent debate in Florida Newt Gingrich openly said he has Rubio in mind. He has consistently led the Intrade market for the Republican vice-presidential nomination for months.
Rubio, 40, was only elected to the Senate in 2010, after he chased Governor Charlie Crist out of the Republican primary. Prior to that he was just the former Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives. And unlike, say, Michele Bachmann he had not distinguished himself as a principled defender of extreme conservatism on the national stage. But Rubio became a hero to the Tea Party movement and the right more generally.
Handsome, young, self-made and impressively charismatic, his rise is reminiscent of a certain other first term senator who excited his party and charmed his way onto a national ticket. And like President Obama, Rubio seems to inspire such ardor because of what he embodies rather than what he has achieved legislatively.
And what is it that he embodies? Most prominently it is the false hope that the Republican Party can win over Latino voters.
The Republican campaigns have been chasing the Latino vote for months. Mitt Romney started blasting press releases alleging that Obama has failed Latinos economically last summer. More recently he has aired television commercials in Spanish. In New Hampshire Gingrich held a "Latino Town Hall." Every Republican candidate has organized his Latino supporters.
Of course this is hypocritical. Republicans routinely complain that identity politics and affirmative action categorize people by groups when everyone should be treated solely as an individual. Even Ron Paul makes regular announcements that 'Hispanics for Ron Paul' is welcoming new members. (In fairness, Paul doesn't limit this to Latinos, press releases such as " Ron Paul Nevada Team Welcomes 'Seniors for Ron Paul' Nationwide Coalition Members" regularly fills my inbox as well.)
It's all kind of sad. They so earnestly chase after Latino voters, when they won't have a chance of winning them. The Republican Party's embrace of harsh language and policies toward undocumented immigrants does not help. Nor does their record of favoring the interests of the wealthy over everyone else.
And Republicans seem completely unaware of the diversity of the Latino community. Rubio is Cuban-American. Politically, that does not mean he has anything more in common with Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, or Mexicans. Cuban-Americans are much more Republican and conservative than other Latino immigrant groups.
That, of course, all goes back to the Cuban Revolution and the staunch anti-Castro sentiment among Cuban exiles. The sentiment is so strong that Rubio used to routinely claim his parents fled Castro when they had actually emigrated years before he took power. Such embellishments might prove an embarrassment if he were on a national ticket. So could the fact that his brother-in-law was convicted of drug trafficking. Univision, by far the largest Spanish language network in the United States broke that story, and Rubio's efforts to bully them into not running it has resulted in him having a very adversarial relationship with them.

text: 000 FXUS63 KEAX 300500 AFDEAX AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO 1100 PM CST SUN NOV 29 2015 .UPDATE... Issued at 943 PM CST SUN NOV 29 2015 Have cancelled the Winter Weather Advisory for Atchison county MO. No longer expect any freezing rain. Combo of weak warm air advection and veering of boundary layer winds to the east should ensure a steady- state airmass resulting in overnight temperatures flatlining over the entire CWA. Temperatures in the northwest tip of MO should be no worse than 33F. Have also made adjustments to PoPs based on radar trends. One area of rain is departing to the northeast and weakening in intensity while the second round is rapidly increasing in coverage from northwest OK through central KS. This latter area will continue to blossom as it lifts northeast and takes aim on the northwest and west central MO, probably reaching these areas a few hours before sunrise. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 320 PM CST SUN NOV 29 2015 A different day but the same old story. The persistent Rex block over the Intermountain West has been feeding Pacific moisture into the region with surface temperatures only a few degrees warmer than they were yesterday. Fortunately this has kept precipitation in the form of rain. The main question then is how will temperatures evolve this evening/overnight and what the resultant weather will be. The preponderance of short-range models, as well as medium range models, keep the forecast area at or above freezing tonight. After some coordination with WPC, factoring in a degree or two warm bias in the model surface temperatures and blending with a cooler LAV guidance, temperatures still remain at or above freezing. So for now, the threat of accumulating ice over northwestern Missouri and extreme northeastern Kansas looks fairly low through the overnight. That said, there is enough uncertainty and with temperatures so close, a half degree or so error could mean accumulating ice or just rain. Given that, have added some freezing rain mention in far northwestern Missouri and minimal amount of ice accumulation, about a hundredth of an inch, to better depict this uncertainty and to blend national guidance and surrounding offices. The other aspect of this system is the snowfall. Forecast soundings in far northwestern Missouri show a very stout warm nose aloft. This has been persistent and appears to be well sampled comparing forecast sounding analysis to area 12Z RAOBS. With temperatures at the surface already borderline for freezing precipitation, and such a pronounced warm nose aloft, the threat of accumulating snow looks very low for extreme northwestern Missouri and extreme northeastern Kansas. There will be a tight gradient but for now that gradient doesn`t look to be over the forecast area. We also don`t look to cool off aloft until after the system passes by and we`re in the backside of the wave and subsident area of the storm. While there could be a few snow showers and/or flurries, the chance for accumulating snow should have passed us by. So overall, the next 12 to 24 hours look to be mainly wet for the forecast area. There is a small area in northwestern Missouri and extreme northeastern Kansas, where temperatures are close to critical values, that may see light amounts of freezing rain tonight. Once this system moves away from the area Monday night into Tuesday, the rest of the forecast looks quiet with a general warming trend. Broad high pressure builds into the middle part of the country through mid week and by the later half of the week should be centered to our southeast. This will allow for southerly flow. Aloft, an upper ridge with increasing thicknesses will build into the center of the country. This combination will allow for temperatures to climb back into the to start the weekend off. By late Saturday and into Sunday, models move another upper low into the middle of the country, spreading precipitation chances through the Plains and Lower Missouri valley. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Monday Night) Issued at 1052 PM CST SUN NOV 29 2015 Scattered rain showers and periods of drizzle will continue over the next several hours before a swath of rain moves in. HRRR hi-res model brings this swath in between 10-11Z. Light rain will continue into the late morning hours before ending. Cloud decks are expected to remain IFR or lower and vsby may bounce between categories. Conditions will begin to improve by late tomorrow afternoon and evening as precip moves out of the region. && .EAX Watches/Warnings/Advisories... KS...NONE. MO...NONE. && $$ UPDATE...MJ DISCUSSION...CDB AVIATION...PMM

Jazz may have been born in New Orleans, but it grew up around the world. It made its path abroad in 1918, during the "Great War" when one black officer, Lieutenant James Reese Europe, bravely volunteered for military service with members of his Harlem Society Orchestra. They formed the 369th Regimental Band, yet because the U.S. Army did not allow black soldiers to fight alongside white soldiers, the valiant soldiers were attached to the French—and earned the moniker of "Hellfighters," along with the French Croix de Guerre for their heroism.
The Harlem Hellfighters brought with them one of America's most enduring exports: jazz. From Paris, the music spread around the globe and soon united generations of people—young and old, rich and poor, black and white, friends and foes—in what would become the rhythm of the 20th century.
"I Want You" Poster; Gary Kelley; illustration (inspired by American illustrator James Montgomery Flagg's iconic watercolor image of "Uncle Sam"); from Harlem Hellfighters, by J. Patrick Lewis & Gary Kelley, Creative Editions, 2014; Illustration copyright © 2014 Gary Kelley, courtesy of the artist.

"Beware the Batman" in 2013! New Animated Series

Re: "Beware the Batman" in 2013! New Animated Series
- The show continues to impress with highlights that include Bruce's detective skills, a new rogues gallery that works well with this show and Katana possibly being set up to be a sidekick. I hope she becomes Robin.
- Magpie's reveal was a surprise to me too. I thought it was the doc because of the hair. Nice twist.
- The show is written well enough that Magpie coveting Batman's utility belt came off as a little disturbing. If I were Batman, something like that might throw me because it's both unusual and feels like a bit of a violation.
- The way they draw Batman makes it look like he hardly has any head above his eye line, yet Bruce isn't drawn that way. Anyone else notice this or am I seeing things?
Christopher wrote:
My main problem is that I feel Magpie was rather too sexualized in her design.
She also moved in a very alluring manner as she got up after landing on the car.
Christopher wrote:
Aside from that -- and from the continuing issue of the sparsely populated CG Gotham -- I'm really loving this show.
I like that they're making an effort to throw in the occasional moving car.

Dear Sir:
I am descended from a comedien who was in the Troupe of the Duc di Savoia from ca. 1671 to 1698.
In 1675 he wrote the attached letter to the Duc. I believe the "soeur" mentioned was his wife, referred to as "la Valois" in other documents, my great ...grandmother Marie who I assume died in Torino that year 1675. I do not know her maiden name. I am trying to find the death record and her maiden name.
So that I may continue my research can you please tell me which church in Torino would have been attended by the Duc and his family and staff?
Thank you very much.
translation please

text: I think the problem with the Em is that it really is kind of like the Canon T50 - a glorified point and shoot with the benefit of using world class lenses. You are the mercy of its auto exposure calculations (which apparently are not all that bad, form what I hear - but do not replace the lack of control), and you probably noticed that this kind of set up is limiting when trying to delve a little more into photography. They don't fetch much of a price, but are compact and reliable, so I would say keep it as a just incase back up if you plan to stick with Nikon (which is not a bad idea at all!).

Thank you PE for thee tip on graded paper, I had a try today in the darkroom, and used some old paper that I had, Ilfospeed Grade 4. I also tried Ilford MG, but the Ilfospeed worked a lot better, it produced good results, the MG just turned out more or less as an over-pre-flashed paper.
Anyone tried with film? Im thinking large format in trays might work, but of course, that takes more time.
Yes, I or rather my students have experimented with this. As yet I have not been able to replicate the effects produced by Man Ray, but am working on it. To date we have achieved some quite interesting effects using flash late in the development cycle. Photo Engineer can probably provide better info on this, but my intuition tells me that high a energy short illumination will give a better effect (more Makie lines) than a longer exposure to lower illumination?
The contemplation of things as they are, without error or confusion, without substitution or imposture, is in itself a nobler thing than a whole harvest of invention

My take on people are my same take on dogs. If I get to know a dog and I like the dog, I'll pet it. But I never touch strange dogs.
I never hug strange people--only once I get to know them and if I like them.

ATHENS, Greece -- Wow.
Michael Phelps turned in a performance of a generation -- in any other generation -- by obliterating the field in a world record 4:08:26 in Saturday's 400 individual medley final. The rout earned Phelps America's first 2004 gold medal. If he takes seven golds and earns his $1 million Speedo bonus, tonight's effort will be worth a cool $142,857.14. (That's $576.04 per second.)
How dominating was it? Phelps was halfway through his final leg as the last place swimmer ...

David Barista is Editor of Professional Builder, Custom Builder and HousingZone.com, properties that combined reach more than 200,000 residential design and construction professionals. David has covered the U.S. construction industry for more than a decade and has won numerous editorial awards, including two Jesse H. Neal Awards.
While conducting research on a builder for a recent issue of Professional Builder, I did what most people do first when they want to learn more about a company, or any subject for that matter. I went to Google.
Let's face it, time are tough, and many home builders are doing all they can to keep their doors open amid the brutal economic conditions. But, while the housing market outlook may look bleak on a national level, there are countless success stories of builders that are succeeding in the toughest conditions. I've asked two such builders — Michael Maples, co-founder of Trumark Homes, Danville, Calif., and Brett Whitehouse, president of Brandywine Homes, Irvine, Calif. — to share some of their leadership advice. Here are some techniques that have worked for them.
Since 1993, Professional Builder and the NAHB Research Center have teamed to sponsor the National Housing Quality Awards — the highest recognition in the housing industry for quality achievement.
The NHQ Awards represent the best of the best in quality-driven home building companies, and the 2011 class is no exception. All three winners — Charter Homes & Neighborhoods, Haseko Construction, and Wathen Castanos Hybrid Homes — employ numerous quality management best practices. Here are a few particularly interesting best practices that caught my attention:
The scenario is all too familiar to builders that have lived through multiple economic recessions: The moment the housing market dives, banks and lending institutions come calling.
Literally overnight, real estate investments that weeks (or days) before were financially sound deals are now high-risk ventures — at least in the minds of Wall Street bankers and those in the banking community.

text: The forecast has shaped up enough that I plan on going out Sunday afternoon for about 25-30 miles. Anyone is welcome to join along. I live near 95th and Lackman and plan on rolling out 1-1:30. I will likely head over toward Johnson Drive and go west and then work back south to 95th and then back toward Lackman. I don't care what you ride or what you wear. The game kicks off at 5:24 so this allows plenty of time to get to where ever you are going to watch the game.
