The man who had died was Ismay's stepfather, Guy. Nine years on, she and her sister, Heather, still live in the same house in Clapham. But it has been divided into two self-contained flats. Their mother lives upstairs with her sister, Pamela. And the bathroom, where Guy drowned, has disappeared. Ismay works in public relations, and Heather in catering.
They get on well. They always have. They never discuss the changes to the house, still less what happened that August day. But even lives as private as these, where secrets hang in the air like dust, intertwine with other worlds and other people. And, with painful inevitability, the truth will emerge.

"Not my favorite RR"
The story was engaging, and I wanted to know what would happen - but frankly was glad when it was over. I cared about Heather and Edmund, but found all of the other characters simply irritating. I've enjoyed Ruth Rendell's books for a long time, but this is not a favorite.
"Creepy mystery"
It was entertaining but I wouldn't listen to it again
No. I have read a lot of good things about Ruth's writing and this one didn't really do it for me.
Yes, I love Sian's work and have bought several books just because she is the narrator.
I had hoped for a bit more.
"Too many side shoots."
The story in the end rang true and Heather's immediate contacts rang true. The side characters were over drawn stereotypes unworthy of the rest of the story! That aside I would have liked to know more about the future of Heather's mother and Pam.

These are great for snacking. I eat them raw/plain, but I also enjoyed them by frying them with a touch of olive oil, fresh minced garlic, and cayenne pepper for a spicy savory snack.

Flavor is good and seeds seem fresh. Slightly different shape than I am used to but the price is great!
Crunchy and favorful - but from China :(

Very happy with my big bag of pumpkin seeds, tasted awesome and looked very fresh. Was quite shocked that it labeled "Product from China" but at least it is Non GMO!
Simple, taste good - but from China!
Posted by Reviewer1800309 on Oct 07, 2015
NOW Foods is based in Illinois and do almost all their own manufacturing, to high (GMP) standards. So, I do generally trust them. Then I see on the label, "Product of China". I do not trust agricultural products from mainland China. I am very disappointed that NOW are using Chinese pumpkin seeds. I think iHerb should indicate this in the product description.

Great Quality
Posted by 4897379771917554555 on Aug 28, 2015
What I notice most about the Now Foods brand of pumpkins seeds are how vibrantly GREEN they are compared to other brands. Not sure how that may play into quality but color is always a sign of nutritional superiority. Flavor is nutty and texture is nice. I soak nuts and seeds over night to neutralize acids that block absorption of minerals and tricks the seeds into sprouting, this optimizing their nutrition as well. Great on oatmeal.

Memorable musical moments from 2013
People have a huge thirst for connection. How well a song or an experience stays with you can be as easy as answering the question, does this art have resonance, or not? If I were to put together a musically inspired compilation of this year's wide sampling of recorded music that I've heard and the live music that I've experienced this year, it would include an amazing group of talented artists who continue to challenge themselves as they give us something creative and personal. As I surf the memories of my mind from this year I can't help but start at the beginning.

"The older I get the better I was" (from Old Guys Rule t-shirt)
I still have no idea what that swagelok guy is going on about (in the comments) and I think I've read it 5 times now
I think Alex Wetmore is personally responsible for no good deals on Swagelok benders on ebay, ever
IMG_0065.jpgIMG_0069.jpgIMG_0075.jpgIMG_0088.jpgIMG_0090.jpgBrian- Great timing! I'm about to ship a "rack" to a customer. Actually a Seat Post Thing with a back of bag support strut. For those who are too young to know what a SPT is it's a stem/bar like attachment to the seat post so a handle bar bag can be mounted behind the seat. The support struts are to keep the bag from sagging onto the rear tire if heavily loaded. The STP is made of .049" wall for the extension and bar stub, the post clamp is .065' only to get the ID needed (31.6mm). If my lathe was running I might have turned this down to .049" or so but at only a couple of inches long the weight is not too much anyways. The struts are 3/8"x.035. Thick enough so there won't be much worry about denting and with the mostly vertical loads bending shouldn't be an issue. This project was interesting. I have made a number of SPTs but always had the bag either small enough to not touch the rear wheel or supported by a traditional rack. The support struts were a fun job which went through a few designs and during the fabrication had some detail changes. Here's a set of photos. Andy.
Making racks is a good way to learn how to make mitres (some of them in crazy compound angles) and brazed joints, AND how to fixture stuff! Making a rack so that it is symmetrical, centred and level is harder than it looks!
I love making racks, it's how I got started. So far more than half my frames (not a lot) have had racks with them.
Hey, I love a nice rack.
One I built for my wife's mixte;
And one for my latest personal bike;
Cassave, is that silver? I built a stainless rack with nickel silver and probably should have joined the main tube to itself with silver. Couldn't get the nickel silver to flow into the joint and overheated the splice tube.
We joke that every rack we build comes with a bicycle... and building racks is truly much harder than it looks and a good place to hone one's brazing skills (if you braze).
Built a simple rack for my wife's Peugeot designed to handle a Carradice shopper which is a rather large bag, at some point we will be refinishing the frame and will integrate the rack. It replaced the stock Peugeot rack and I wanted to retain the very simple design albeit in a much stronger and stiffer rack that would support a rather heavy single bag as well as dual panniers.
A rack I built for a friend... it had to support a child seat so seat stays were used as lowers and this was integrated into the frame before it got new powder.
We also build separate racks specifically for touring applications... the double rail lets you top load the rack and not have that interfere with the panniers opening and access.
I am starting to take over this end of the business so my partner can focus on hubs and frames and have some designs in the works.
One more... this rack came with a complimentary tandem...
Cassave, you have the patience of a saint. I find polishing stainless quite tedious!!
Unter, have you tried the Cycle Design flux for Ni-Ag & stainless? It makes a big difference vs. normal brass flux. But it doesn't soak off, hence my polishing comment. I can send a sample if you wish.
I have been thinking about getting some of the Cycle Design flux for nickel silver. I didn't actually have any problems with the fillet brazing, I just had trouble with getting penetration into the splice. And the big problem was that the only 3/16" tubing I had is really, really thin. Didn't want to use anything that might rust, it sorta defeats the purpose of the stainless.
I polish the stainless tubing on my lathe. Not particularly entertaining, but it wasn't too bad either.
Really cool "structures", thanks for the pics. Spruce sells 3/8 x .028(I think Paterek* recommends this wall thickness, anything thicker will tend to kink) for $5.25 a foot, the 3/8 x .035 for $2.94, 1" x .035 for $3.85, 1" x .028 for $7.25. The thinner wall is more expensive because? Where do you get your mtls and what do you use?
thanks, Brian

"The older I get the better I was" (from Old Guys Rule t-shirt)
I thought that thinner walls have a greater tendency to kink or ripple. I use 4130 3/8x0.035 for most racks and 1/4x0.035 for small h-bar racks. Plus some 5/16 or 3/16 for inner splices. The 0.028 stuff is more expensive because of demand/supply I think, so I stick to 0.035. I've also used 304 to avoid plating.
I use the Ridgid benders. I found mine used a low prices. The bends are a little flat but they are generally okay.
Ridgids are as good as anything at the radius they use. I've had trouble with my Swagelok because the radius is very small. I guess you could use a mandrel bender.
I have never had any problems with .035" other than it's a lot harder to bend than .028". I suspect if you get thicker it may ripple, dunno.
Sixty Fiver did you use stays for part of the platform with smaller tubes telescoped for the bends? It looks like it tapers at both ends in the pic.
I checked the Paterek manual, he does say he uses .028 for his racks, good to know the .035 works fine and its cheaper as well.

"The older I get the better I was" (from Old Guys Rule t-shirt)
I think .028 is light for racks, and I actually thought that was what P. said in his rack tape. In that tape he makes a very light rack, but mentions that is what it is. At least as far as I can remember.
I personally thought that rack making was pretty easy. I came to it with lots of workshop and design experience, but minimal metal working experience. With the bends, I just marked the point where it was clamped in the bender, then I did a bend, measure the bend position, and just copiy that for other similar bends. So if the offset from the mark is 2.125", That just becomes a design module I can insert in any build that uses a similar bend.
I made a bender for motorcycle sized tubing, and adapted dies to a smaller rod bender to get something that would work on smaller tubing. Many of the big box stores have these small benders for decorative iron work. The first dies were just those pot metal pulleys for motors, with epoxy contouring. These lasted a few racks then broke. The dies I currently have are metal bits I found in a store. All they needed was to have grooves cut in them on a lathe. The bits are heavy sprocket hubs from a hydraulics supplier.
I don't have much luck welding the small tubes, but brazing them was pretty much a piece of cake with silver.

I took this picture after this rack had been in use for a good long while; this bike parks outside in all kinds of weather on a daily basis and I usually see it parked outside my friend's office every day.
This is his winter "beater"... in the summer he has a custom built Arvon rando bike he has been riding for close to 20 years, which matches his wife's newly refinished Arvon rqando bike (she rides here year round) as well as a racing tandem and a triplet.
Re-building this nice old Nishiki cost less than buying a modern bike with a 3 speed and it is a much nicer frame... was nice to tweak it out with a custom rack and, bottle braze ons, and low rider mounts up front.
We seem to do a lot of this kind of work... taking bicycles that people already love and making them just a little more love-able.
At some point I plan to take my faithful touring bike and replace all the Blackburn racks with custom made integrated ones and then give it a new coat of powder.
Dave - this too is quite beautiful and well thought out.
"The older I get the better I was" (from Old Guys Rule t-shirt)
I am lucky to have an old but excellent floor mounted hand bender at my disposal and a lathe to produce dies in any size we might need... for a recent project we turned out a 4 inch die for the 3/8 tubing and it is so much faster and easier than using the hand benders, especially when you want to prep larger quantities of tubing for more standard applications.
It's main job is for bending frame tubes (that need to be filled with sand before bending) and some of that can be pretty extravagant.

Posted elsewhere today but... my newly christened "Portage" rack for the Pugsley.
Main tubing is 3/8 chromoly with 3/16 crosses, 3/8 tubing was bent on a 4 inch mandrel we turned out on the lathe for this purpose. The frame fittings are re-purposed zerks that we turned down in the lathe and drilled out for the 5mm bolts. The smaller oil fitting that threads into the zerk was used to make end pins / tie down points for the top and for the extra tie down, bag clips at the bottom.
Because it was designed for the Pugsley's offset frame it is plug and play and is a 3 minute task to install or remove it as there are no adjusters.

Cleveland Browns DL Desmond Bryant has returned to the practice field after heart surgery in December.
BEREA, Ohio -- Cleveland Browns defensive lineman Desmond Bryant spent the offseason recovering from heart surgery he underwent in December to correct an irregular heartbeat that twice sent him to the hospital following games last season.
Bryant underwent a cardiac ablation, where doctors corrected tissue that was causing bad electrical charges within the heart, and four months later, he returned to the field for the start of voluntary mini-camp in Berea.
"I felt like after I experienced what I did on the field a few times, it was finally time to do something to fix that," Bryant said Wednesday. "While it was kind of a trying time, I was also excited to get this procedure done and put this behind me.
"I'm back. I'm healthy. Today, I got back on the field a little bit and I can't wait to keep going with this thing."
After consulting with doctors, Bryant elected to have the procedure, but said it was not done in an effort to save his career.
"If I had not had the procedure, I believe I could've still played," Bryant said. "I was never told otherwise, but I just would've been putting myself at risk, which is not something you want to do with your heart.
"Once I realized I was experiencing the same thing, I didn't want to have to put myself at risk for having to deal with it again. They had a procedure that they could do, that had a very high success rate that was going to help me. I'm willing to do that. Unfortunately, I lost the rest of the season, but going forward, everything should be great."
Bryant first suffered an irregular heartbeat when he played with the Oakland Raiders in 2012, and twice experienced it last fall. And while heart surgery for might be a scary proposition, Bryant said the most trying times came during the episodes.
"The scariest part was right when it would happen," Bryant said. "I would feel like I had a fast heart rate, and then, the next thing I know, I was going to the hospital. That was the only scary thing about it. Other than that, I was focusing on the positives, focusing on what I can do to get better, to get back to be where I am today and where I want to be over the course of the next year.
"That (Buffalo game) was one of the scary times, where I didn't really feel like anything was going too bad. I just knew my heart was beating fast, and the next thing, I'm at the hospital, so it's tough."
During the course of his recovery, Bryant heard about Dallas Stars hockey player Rich Peverley, who had a cardiac event in the middle of the first period of a game against the Columbus Blue Jackets in February, and needed to be revived by the team's medical staff in the hallway between the bench and dressing room before being transported to the hospital.
"Does it give me pause? No," Bryant said. "I believe in the work that I got done by my doctors. I believe everything, so far, has been going really well. It's something to consider, for sure, but it doesn't make me stop. It doesn't deter me from doing all of the things that I want to do."
Seeing the way Bryant worked his way back from the heart surgery has impressed even the newest of his teammates.
"He's a talented guy," linebacker Karlos Dansby said. "I know he had a big injury with his heart, and that's serious. You can't overlook that. For him to be able to have enough faith to come back out on this field and continue to play this game, my hat goes off to him. He's a tough guy, and I can't wait to get out there and play with him."
Bryant, who had no family history of heart ailments, made several lifestyle changes following the procedure, which included cutting back on energy drinks and cleaning up his diet. When he stepped on the field Wednesday, Bryant claimed to "feel great" and looks forward to being ready to contribute to the team this fall.
"There's still some work to do on my conditioning, but I think everybody out there could say that," Bryant said. "I feel good about where I am and I feel good about where I project myself to be."

Air muscles (also known as a McKibben artificial muscle or braided pneumatic actuators) were originally developed by J.L. McKibben in the 1950's as an orthotic appliance for polio patients.
Here's how they work:
The muscle consists of a rubber tube (bladder or core) that is surrounded by a tubular braided fiber mesh sleeve. When the bladder is inflated the mesh expands radially and contracts axially (since the mesh fibers are inextensible), shortening the overall length of the muscle and subsequently producing a pulling force.
Air muscles have performance characteristics very similar to human muscles- the force exerted decreases as the muscle contracts. This is due to the change in the interweave angle of the braided mesh as the muscle contracts- as the mesh expands radially in a scissors like motion it exerts less force due to the weave angle becoming increasingly shallow as the muscle contracts (see the diagram below- figure A shows that the muscle will contract to a greater degree than figure C given an equal increase in bladder pressure).The videos show this effect as well. Air muscles can contract up to 40% of their length, depending on the method and materials of their construction.
Gas law states that if you increase pressure you also increase the volume of an expandable cylinder (provided temperature is constant.) The expanding volume of the bladder is ultimately constrained by the physical properties of the braided mesh sleeve so in order to create a greater pulling force you need to be able to increase the effective volume of the bladder- the pulling force of the muscle is a function of the length and diameter of the muscle as well as its ability to contract due to the properties of the mesh sleeve (construction material, number of fibers, interweave angle) and bladder material.
I constructed two different sized muscles using similar materials to demonstrate this principle- they both were operated at the same air pressure (60psi) but had different diameters and lengths. The small muscle really starts to struggle when some weight is put on it while the larger muscle has no problems at all.
Here are a couple of videos showing both of the constructed air muscles in action.
Now let's go make some muscles!

Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.
Horace Mann (1796 - 1859)
Contributed by: Praveer
Doing nothing for others is the undoing of ourselves.
Contributed by: Zaady
Education alone can conduct us to that enjoyment which is, at once, best in quality and infinite in quantity.
If evil is inevitable, how are the wicked accountable? Nay, why do we call men wicked at all? Evil is inevitable, but is also remediable.
Unfaithfulness in the keeping of an appointment is an act of clear dishonesty. You may as well borrow a person's money as his time.
One thing I certainly never was made for, and that is to put principles on and off at the dictation of a party, as a lackey changes his livery at his master's command.
The experience of the ages that are past, the hopes of the ages that are yet to come, unite their voices in an appeal to us; they implore us to think more of the character of our people than of its vast numbers; to look upon our vast natural resources, not as tempters to ostentation and pride, but as means to be converted, by the refining alchemy of education, into mental and spiritual treasures-and thus give to the world the example of a nation whose wisdom increases with its prosperity, and whose virtues are equal to its power.
Generosity during life is a very different thing from generosity in the hour of death; one proceeds from genuine liberality and benevolence, the other from pride or fear.
If any man seeks for greatness, let him forget greatness and ask for truth, and he will find both.
Habit is a cable; we weave a thread of it each day, and at last we cannot break it.

Efforts to strengthen knowledge and research skills in agriculture and food security in the uplands of Southeast Asia are essential to developing a strong network of professionals who can address some of the region's most critical development challenges.
This funding will provide two-year fellowships to 30 students from Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam to allow them to pursue master's degrees in science at leading universities in the region. The objective is to establish a critical mass of high quality professionals and researchers who can lead and develop sustainable agriculture programs in the uplands. They will also support initiatives in smallholder agriculture management in upland communities which are generally vulnerable to food insecurity.
The Graduate Scholarship Department of the Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (SEARCA) will lead the initiative. Master's programs will include courses in fields such as land use planning, sustainable agriculture, human nutrition, environmental science, agroforestry, livestock production, animal husbandry, and watershed management.
Students will gain first-hand experience in the uplands through site visits. They will also network and share information with faculty. The project will include three annual roving fellowship meetings and workshops for students in three locations.
The fieldwork, research, workshops, and publications produced as part of this project will help facilitate innovative thinking and approaches to food security and upland development. Today's students are expected to become tomorrow's research and policy leaders in their respective countries.

Using PHP Web Scraper Goutte in a Console Task in a Silex project
2 Comments · Posted by Christian in The real job
Since I discovered the free Facebook App hosting by heroku I keep wanting to make something useful out of it. So I thought about a small service app. Without going into details yet about its nature there was one immediate problem to be solved. How to get hold of the data? So I thought to scrape it off some website. I know this isn't very nice but unfortunately there is no feed I can use.. And how to best scrape a website?
Use Goutte!
Goutte is yet another great tool provided by Fabien Potencier and if you ever need to pull in data from a website which wouldn't validate for XML you should definitely check it out! If you want a bit of context read Ryan Weavers article on php|architect.
Since I already decided to use Silex for this app I needed to find a) a way to create console tasks and b) use Goutte in one of them.
The first problem was solved fast by re-reading a blog post by Kevin Boyd who documented exactly this. )
Following his instruction my project structure now looks like this.
So this is only a very small change I made to my already existing pet project.
So what was left was to find a way to integrate Goutte smoothly into this so I could use it.
First I downloaded the goutte.phar to src/goutte.phar.
Second I created a custom Silex service provider for Goute in src/Caefer/GoutteServiceProvider.php.
I didn't use the autoload facility of the Goutte phar file as it would've thrown an error of defining UniversalClassLoader a second time. That's why I had to register the namespace for the Zend library manually in the provider.
And last I modified bootstrap.php to know my Caefer namespace and register the service provider.
Now in my console.php I can use the Goutte client as follows.
Happy scraping!

Fujian Province, China Famous Lapsang Souchong (Pine Smoked Black) originates from Mount Wuyi (on the northern border of Fujian province with Jiangxi province, China). In 1999, Mount Wuyi entered Unesco's list of World Heritage Sites, both natural and cultural. It is a well known biodiversity conservation zone of Southeast China. In making Lapsang souchong, the leaves are withered, pan-fired, rolled and oxidized before being fully dried in bamboo baskets over burning pine. The result is a very smoky, but smooth, enjoyable flavor. Compliments well with sweet and spicy foods.
The Tao of Tea
Like the Tao, the art of tea is universal. We began our work with tea in 1997 to be a connecting thread for tea culture. Practicing the art on a daily basis in our teahouses in Portland, Oregon, we are a group of tea enthusiast from different backgrounds and cultures. We travel, learn, take delight and seek to offer pure leaf teas with great flavor, artistry and soul. Our reward comes through actions that help people's lives, sustain the art of tea and promise a healthy environment.
Suggested Use
We recommend using spring water, at well below boiling temperature (170 F). Brew one level teaspoon of leaf in a 12 ounce teapot. Steep for three and a half minutes.
100% organic black tea leaves.

Excellent product. Significantly better than Twinings. Twinings is resiny compared to this. This was probably prepared with more care. This is a good value as well. Will be getting it again. Have also tried Tao of Tea's Mango Ceylon and Earl Grey teas.

We propose an anytime algorithm for control when the processor resource availability is limited and time-varying. The basic idea behind the algorithm is to calculate the components of the control input vector sequentially to maximally utilize the processing resources available at every time step. For the LQR case, we present a Markovian jump linear system formulation that provides analytical performance and stability expressions. For more general cases, we present and analyze a receding horizon control based formulation. The improvement in performance is also illustrated through numerical simulations.
