Access data from a weather station with the Raspberry Pi
Ingredient 3: Build a Web Application with Sinatra
Once Ruby is installed, Ruby libraries are managed with
gem. To program web applications with Sinatra, you need to run
gem install sinatra
to install the Sinatra gem. This sample full-fledged web application,
require 'sinatra' get '/' do 'Hello world!' end }
can be accessed in the browser on http://localhost:4567/ after typing
ruby webapp.rb.
Ingredient 4: Populate a Database with Measured Values
Now, you still need to store the data in an appropriate way. In general, a database is used for web applications. SQLite is a database designed for simple applications, but that still speaks SQL. The database is part of the Debian sqlite3 package. To use it in Ruby, you also need the Ruby sqlite3 gem.
To create a new database file by the name of
db.sqlite3 which will store temperature values at specific times, for example, you would type:
sqlite3 db.sqlite3 'create table temperatures(time integer, t real);'
The Ruby code in Listing 1 [5] uses ActiveRecord to access the database and populate it with values parsed from a CSV file,
weather.csv. The rows in the CSV file containing the data from the weather station are structured as described above.
Listing 1
Populating the Database
01 require 'csv' 02 require 'active_record' 03 04 data = CSV.read('weather.csv', { col_sep: ':' }) 05 ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection( {"adapter"=>"sqlite3", "database"=>"db.sqlite3"}) 06 07 class Temperature < ActiveRecord::Base 08 validates_uniqueness_of :time 09 end 10 11 data.each do |d| 12 values = { time: d[0], t: d[11] } 13 Temperature.create values 14 end
The beauty of ActiveRecord is that it automatically takes care of everything you need for reading and writing to databases. In Listing 1, on seeing the
Temperature class, it understands that it needs to access the
temperatures table, and the variable names (
t) tell it the columns in the database table that it must write.
Ingredient 5: Read Measured Values from the Database
The data can be read conveniently from the database, again thanks to ActiveRecord. Listing 2 reads all entries in the
values variable at one fell swoop. At the same time, the
time values are multiplied by 1,000.
Listing 2
Read from a Database
01 require 'active_record' 02 03 ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection({"adapter"=>"sqlite3", "database"=>"db.sqlite3"}) 04 class Temperature < ActiveRecord::Base 05 end 06 07 values = Temperature.all.map {|m| [m.time * 1000, m.t]} 08 data = values.inspect 09 puts data
The array comprises pairs of times and measured values, so it can later be interpreted by the chart library to provide data points. The
inspect method generates a matching string from the array (
"[[1363465023000, -1.3], [1363468623000, -1.9], ...]"). In Listing 2, this string is output in the terminal. Later, the string is integrated into the website at the appropriate point in the JavaScript code.

In Cities, the Fight Against Terrorism Walks the Beat
Ahead of the Inauguration, Washington, D.C., Police Adopt a New Program to Detect Threats and Share Information with Agencies
In May, a Los Angeles Police Department motorcycle officer stopped a car for speeding. He noticed that the driver was sweating and gripping the steering wheel nervously, while refusing to answer basic questions.
That matched a profile the officer had just learned about as part of a program to identify behaviors associated with terrorism. Information that once might have gotten lost in the shuffle now had a destination: The officer reported the driver's international license information via the department's program, and learned the man was "an individual of interest" in a terrorism investigation.
"That was huge," said Cmdr. Joan McNamara, the No. 2 counterterrorism official for the LAPD. "It was a tremendous piece of the puzzle."
Under the Los Angeles program, analysts log information on suspicious behavior into a central database using standardized labels, enabling the department to analyze patterns. The model is getting attention nationwide, and the Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police Department plans to introduce its version of the program next month in advance of Inauguration Day.
It's nothing fancy, and that's the point. Ever since 9/11, the connect-the-dots problem has preoccupied law-enforcement and intelligence agencies. The 9/11 Commission noted that stopping the hijackers who crashed planes into the World Trade Center and Pentagon would have been much easier if someone had connected the reports of suspicious men taking flying lessons.
Yet efforts by the Department of Homeland Security, newly created after 9/11, and others have failed to integrate communications among disparate agencies. The federal government has made multiple efforts to link databases and often found itself snarled in technology messes.
Last month, the White House asked the department to put on hold new spending on an alert system that carries a price tag of more than $150 million. The system was supposed to provide threat information to local officials, but government reports suggested it was too hard to use.
Now the LAPD is trying to build a system from the ground up. The eight-month-old program has generated 1,000 suspicious-activity reports using a common template and already nabbed several people who provided critical information to federal terrorism investigations, LAPD officials say.
"That's something we've been struggling with for seven years," said Washington, D.C., police chief Cathy Lanier, who recently briefed White House officials on the capital's new system.
Washington is collecting data from across the region -- including information from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Homeland Security -- and building the technology to log it rapidly and analyze it for any threats that could affect Inauguration Day. The system will become the foundation for a permanent effort to monitor threats.
Chief Lanier said painful experience helped trigger the move. In early 2005, someone called in a 911 tip that bolts had been removed from fences along the inauguration parade route. The information never made its way to city police. On Inauguration Day, protesters were able to push a security fence onto police officers, injuring several, including breaking one officer's arm.
Had the information been entered into a system monitoring city-wide tips, an officer searching for threats related to Inauguration Day would have seen it and could have prevented it, said John Cohen, a senior adviser in the office of the director of national intelligence.
Mr. Cohen's office is working with other federal agencies and state and local officials to expand the Los Angeles model to 12 other cities and states, as part of a federal pilot program. "We put D.C. to the top of the list because of the inauguration," he said.
The goal is to allow multicity searches, since each locality will be using the same set of categories to log their reports. Along with Washington and Los Angeles, federal officials hope to link the threat databases for the states of Virginia, New York and Florida.
Other cities that will adopt the system through the federal pilot effort include Chicago, Boston, Seattle, and Miami. "Once this matures, I think this will be part of the homeland-security lifeblood," said Cmdr. David Sobczyk of the Chicago Police Department. "It will fill a lot of the gaps that currently exist."
That's if it works. The federal government has a weak track record in such programs, especially those that involve building databases. The FBI botched an earlier effort to manage just its own cases in 2005. In testimony, the FBI director acknowledged the program wouldn't be successful and launched a replacement. Mr. Cohen said this pilot program is different because the federal government is just linking systems established by cities and states rather that building a new one.
The Los Angeles Police Department introduced its program in March. Cmdr. McNamara and her team spent several months researching documented behavior of terrorists plotting attacks and settled on 65 specific behaviors. They developed a plan to train officers in identifying the behaviors and reporting them in a standardized way as part of regular police reports. The basic data points include the type of suspicious activity and its date, place and time. Intelligence analysts then vet officers' reports.
Analysts look for patterns in the data. If they see several reports of suspicious photo taking around ports, they might go back to security video from the ports to look for more evidence. "What we're starting to see is a successful program connecting the dots," said Cmdr. McNamara. "The cops now understand what they're looking for."
In July, a retailer called in with a curiously detailed drawing of an airplane cockpit on the inside of a cardboard box that a customer had used to return an item to the store. It was logged into the suspicious behavior system, and officers found that it was an exact drawing of a major aircraft at Los Angeles International Airport. "Normally cops wouldn't have known what to do with it," Cmdr. McNamara said.
Last week, a records clerk who had gone through the suspicious behavior training was filing reports on stolen items and found a report about keys that had been stolen from a radiological facility. She alerted the counter terrorism division in a suspicious activity report.
The new system is also helping LAPD identify trends that are unnecessarily eating up resources. When suspicious-package reports at Los Angeles International Airport shot up in July, Cmdr. McNamara's staff spotted the pattern and discovered that airlines had just changed their policies about how many suitcases passengers could carry. Some passengers were simply dumping on the floor suitcases they didn't want. The airport later put bins out for discarded baggage.
The program has identified gaps between the data Los Angeles and federal agencies have. When Cmdr. McNamara compared notes with the Department of Homeland Security, she found the department had 10 suspicious terrorism-related activities reported in a two-month period, and she only knew about four of them. "We were both dumbfounded," Ms. McNamara said. "We closed that gap, obviously, now."
Privacy advocates have met with Cmdr. McNamara, contending that many of the 65 behaviors aren't necessarily specific to terrorism and raising concerns that cities won't block abuse of the data.
Michael German, a former FBI agent who is a national security specialist at the American Civil Liberties Union, said some of the behaviors on the LAPD's list, such as photographing buildings or espousing extremist views, could be innocent activity or First Amendment-protected behavior.
"What it opens the door for is police officers bothering people who they're already suspicious of for improper reasons like racial profiling or other poor police behavior," Mr. German said. He added that the LAPD has shown a willingness to listen to and act on concerns.
Cmdr. McNamara said the program aims to prevent racial profiling by focusing on suspicious behaviors rather than individuals. After meeting with Mr. German, she recommended that LAPD's inspector general audit the program.
She said while she understands Mr. German's concern about overly broad categories of suspicious activity, officers are trained to distinguish between tourists snapping a Hollywood landmark and suspects casing a port entrance. Just last week, she said, the department got a valuable terrorism lead from a report of suspicious photography.
The next stage: getting the public involved. Los Angeles plans early next year to introduce an education program, called iWATCH, which will instruct citizens on specific behaviors to report to authorities.

Game Description: The essential action—team up with others, find keys, magic, runes and other items, and beat the stuffing out of anyone in your way—remains unchanged from the arcade hit. While Gauntlet Legends for the N64 will retain the same stages at the arcade game, Midway promises a far meatier storyline, including cinema cut-scenes at the successful conclusion of a stage.
Growing up during the 80s in what John Leguizamo remembers as "the melting pot of the world," Jackson Heights, stand-alone coin-ops decorated the urban landscape. Mom-and-pop grocery stores, magazine stands, and small shops, in general, supported at least one or two machines. Around the corner from where I lived, (on Roosevelt Avenue) there boasted such an establishment where my friends and I spent countless hours playing classics such as Space Ace, Kung-Fu, and Mat Mania, all the while Salsa music would be blaring in the background (it was a Latino record store). Still, nothing would prepare us for the day when Gauntlet arrived on the scene. This medieval, overhead-view dungeon romp boasted four sets of color-coded controls for, then unheard of, multiplayer cooperative play. Gauntlet was a monster-sized coin-op that grabbed my attention and didn't let go. It was a spectacle in and of itself.
Gauntlet helped usher in a new generation of costly quarter-munchers that literally sucked the money right out of kids' pockets (it was the only game at the time in which you would lose health by simply standing around). The ominous voice used to proclaim 'life-and-death' warnings like "Elf needs food badly." What it really should have said was "kid with glasses here needs quarters badly," as my friends and I risked a life of crime (or at least an butt whuppin' from our parents) to steal the necessary funds in order to survive past a couple more stages.
Now flash-forward to 1999. Not a single arcade game can be found along Roosevelt Avenue. Coin-ops (which should be officially be renamed dollar-ops) are now the size of small trucks and can only be found at "mega malls" and "amusement centers." One out of every ten homes across the United States is in possession of a PlayStation as home console systems gain processing speeds on par with their larger arcade cousins. It's under this current climate that this legendary franchise returns to the scene with a new entry appropriately named Gauntlet Legends. But can a videogame whose success was rooted in the streets now make it in the households?
It can if Midway effectively recreates the arcade experience while adding immersive home console peculiarities. And, apparently with Legends, they have. The original premise of having four human controlled adventurers of different character classes cooperatively questing (a refreshingly rare feature today) through maze-like stages hasn't changed, so the gameplay is still very arcade-like. What this means is that the controls are still old-school basic (mainly utilizing two buttons, one for magic and the other for attack) and the action is fast and furious as hordes of angry beasts and creatures are dying to introduce themselves to you. There's still the trademark omnipresent voice here to announce to us who's dying, remind us of how dumb it is to shoot potions, and generally be an annoying backseat driver.
What has changed, though, are the original, simplistic 2D graphics, which have been updated with real-time 3D models and animation. New music tracks and audio bites have all been updated as well to compete with today's market leaders. I was very impressed with the overall presentation and really felt it brought the whole Gauntlet universe into a new light. Appropriate features have also been added to make the gameplay more attractive towards home players. Stages don't play out quite so linearly and require free exploration and return visits for locating artifacts or switches that may open up other worlds. Characters now have minor role-playing game attributes that can be built up and saved and secret playable characters can now be unlocked via bonus stages. But perhaps the nicest addition is the ability to stockpile power-ups and additional weapons. Unlike the original, which required that you use a power-up immediately for a limited time, Legends allows you to turn off timed or limited power-ups at will and save them for later use. This generated much more strategy in the game as I pondered what weapons and combination of power-ups would be most effective against huge bosses and tougher opponents.
Legends is still not without negatives, as all the apparent depth in the game was not obvious. Dale and I wandered the stages with no understanding of why or what was happening around us. It was only after continuously playing and studying the instruction manual for quite some time, did we finally start to understand how to unlock other worlds and how to build up our characters and manage power-ups. Even after that, there's no way to tell what secrets have been unlocked and where other secrets may still be hidden. That translates to a lot of guess work and tedious backtracking. Another issue is that even with all the worthy new additions, the overall experience of Legends is still heavily action-oriented and can get mindlessly repetitive at times, which is fine if that's what you're in the mood for.
With all that said, despite needing to appeal to two groups of audiences, Legends is still able to stand on its own. Coin-ops need to be easily approachable and need to produce an immediate satisfaction while home games need to have lengthy play-life with a long-term sense of growth and development. Legends manages to be a good (but not great) example of both of these styles of gameplay and have melded them successfully into a neat hybrid. Legends not only reminded me of my coin-op-filled youth growing up in Jackson Heights, but also serves as a very pleasant surprise in the present.
I never got to play the original Gauntlet. I arrived on the arcade scene just as the Street Fighter 2 craze was kicking in and Gauntlet was already a memory. My first brush with multi-player action actually came in the mammoth 8-player monster, X-Men. That was my Gauntlet. Sure it was a quarter-eater, but it offered the kind of gameplay that was totally new to me and I loved it. Ever since, I've played some of the best multi-players in both the arcades and the consoles and, amazingly, never even heard of Gauntlet. It wasn't until Atari Games announced their intentions to develop the game for Midway that (although over a decade late) I learned about it and could get my hands on the fabled Gauntlet franchise.
What impressed me the most about Legends was that it has an old car comfort, but with a new car smell. Legends has all the "old-school" button-mashing, destroying-everything-on-the-screen gameplay but now it comes with flashy 64-bit graphics, loud sounds, huge bosses, and over-the-top spells and special effects. Playing Legends was like being back in those smoke-filled arcades without the being exposed to lethal amounts of second-hand smoke and drunken businessmen. I can never know exactly what it was like to play the original Gauntlet back in the day, but thanks to Legends I am able to get some idea of it. It's excellent multi-player action at its most basic and most addictive level.
Disclaimer: This review is based on the Nintendo 64 version of the game.
According to ESRB, this game contains: Animated Blood, Animated Violence
Parents shouldn't have too many issues with the game. There's killing en masse in this game, but none of it is overly gory or exploitative.
Having a partner or two is also a requirement to fully enjoy this rare cooperative gem. One-player mode will grow difficult and repetitive quickly, but having a partner or two (or even three) will bring another dimension to the game as you and your teammates slowly work out team tactics and strategies.
It's quite a rewarding experience too once your band develops some semblance of gestalt. Gauntlet Legends should appease old-school fans and action fans new to the franchise alike. But those looking for a true role-playing game experience should stay away from this one because it is still, for the most part, a pure-action staple.
The Nintendo 64 version, despite its age, is a solid port with high-quality graphics and four-player mode.
The PlayStation version is a competent port, but it lacks the four-player mode limiting players to two-player action.
The Dreamcast version is the best of the bunch. It sports arcade quality graphics, has four-player support by default and all the sounds and gameplay to go with it.

St. Augustine Church installs new pastor
Published: Friday, August 22, 2014 at 4:02 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, August 22, 2014 at 4:02 p.m.
The Rev. Marek Dzien will be installed as parish pastor of St. Augustine Church and Catholic Student Center on Sunday by Bishop Felipe J. Estévez of the Diocese of St. Augustine.
The official appointment comes as a new academic year commences at the University of Florida, and campus ministries ramp up efforts to reach out to new students.
Dzien was born in Debica, Poland, and attended Mayor Seminary in Tarnow and the Pontifical University of John Paul II in Krakow. He was ordained a priest in 1995. He spent six years as a missionary in Ecuador serving as pastor of two parishes in the Los Rios province southwest of Quito, the country's capital.
He has worked in the Diocese of St. Augustine since 2008, first at Christ the King Parish in Jacksonville, and at San Sebastian Parish in St. Augustine. He was assigned to St. Augustine Church in Gainesville in July 2012 as parochial vicar supervising parish staff. He was named administrator of St. Augustine Church and Catholic Student Center in 2013.
During his tenure, the parish's student ministry has grown from 90 student leaders in 2012-13 to more than 200 today, said Daniel Conigliaro, a liturgy intern at the parish and former chair of the Parish Council.
"He has a deep love for Christ and the students at UF, and desires to bring both together," Conigliaro said.
Dzien, who will be installed as pastor at the 5:30 p.m. Mass on Sunday, credited the increase in the number of student leaders to the Rev. David Ruchinski, director of the St. Augustine Student Center. Dzien said the community-wide implementation of the parish's strategic plan, with its focus on service, liturgy and community engagement, has contributed to the church's progress.
"Our committees have worked diligently during the last two years to create and implement the initial goals of the plan. With its short- and long-term goals, it is our map to the future," said Dzien, 44.
The renewed fervor in Catholic student ministry comes at a time when spirituality appears to be surging on U.S. college campuses. According to a report by the Social Science Research Council titled "Religious Engagement Among American Undergraduates," college campuses are "spiritual bazaars," less hostile to organized religions than many may assume.
Kathryne Lopez, another St. Augustine parish intern, said Dzien's humility and warmth have breathed new life into student ministry.
"He is a very protective and loving father to all of us," she said.

An iron hoe and a pair of pruning shears are always within Martha Smith French Jarnagin�s reach. More than a dozen types of plants, flowers and vegetables surround the 83-year-old�s home off Cedar Hill Lane in the Institute community.
�I was raised on a farm and I like to watch things grow,� she said, as she made her way over to her front porch.
Her fascination with growing came from her mother, Martha Skinner Smith, of Dover.
�Mama taught me that everything needs water,� said Jarnagin, who only recently stopped working four years ago. She spends almost every day nurturing her conservatory.
�I love every minute of it,� she said.
The vegetables and fruits she cultivates provide instant access to fresh food. Acknowledging her age, she likes to eat healthy and doesn�t eat fast food. There�s no complicated formula for the retired mother of five. She says plenty of love and water is all you need.
Colorful blossoms of flowers surround her single-story house, with a loaded grapevine with over 100 bundles stretching from one end of the railing to the other. Even when she�s not trying, things continue to thrive around her. Last fall, a pumpkin she left unattended took root and this spring has produced three medium-sized pumpkins that are still growing.
Whether it�s edible or simple beautiful to look at, Jarnagin�s garden tells the story of a careful hand.

NEW YORK (AP) — Jamal Olasewere scored 18 points and C.J. Garner scored all 15 of his in the second half as Long Island University defeated Wagner 78-73 Thursday night in the Northeast Conference opener for both teams.
Olasewere scored seven points during an 11-2 run when the Blackbirds (3-4) built a 15-point lead, 69-54, with 3:29 remaining.
Garner scored the final seven points for the defending conference champions after the Seahawks had closed the gap to 71-63 with 1:19 remaining.
Julian Boyd and Jason Brickman scored 11 points each and Olasewere pulled down 11 rebounds for the Blackbirds.
Tyler Murray scored 19 points and Jonathon Williams 16 to lead Wagner.
Murray, who came into the game second in the NCAA in 3-point shooting at 64 percent (16 of 25) was 5 of 7 from beyond the arc, but his teammates were just 3 of 18 from that distance.

Hi Martin,
The 5 privates were unfortunatly not named explicitly, it is due to the fact that if I find a Medal Card with a 'Date of Entry' I am try to match the name to a specific transfer draft, to build up a complete list for each draft.

Hi Mark,
Congrats on the fantastic job on the Connaught Rangers! Thanks for posting this comprehensive record.
I think that my Great Grandfather was 4649 Private Thomas McDonagh (transferred Worcestershire Regiment no.47713). I was wondering if you had any further information on him? If he was born in 1878 (according to the 1911 Census) then this is him.
If a soldier was transferred to another regiment how do you find out what happened to him later on into the war? Would he just be filling up another regiment due to his own regiment getting too small in number or did it mean he got injured and had to be transferred?
My Grandmother told me that he was lost at sea and the only photo we have of him is of him in a navy/marine outfit (I have posted this photo of him in my gallery).
Another relative of mine told me he was based at the Renmore Barracks in Galway during pre-war years. Did the Connaught Rangers who went to the Eastern Mediterranean front i.e. Gallipoli, Salonika wear marine outfits while travelling to these foreign territories while still being soldiers also?
Please advise.
Posted 26 February 2014 - 08:18 pm
Enlisted 12 Dec 1912 into 4th Battalion, Connaught Rangers, Send out in a draft of 97 men to join the 2nd Battalion in France 7 Oct 1914. 2nd Battalion absorbed by 1st Battalion 26 Nov 1914. Transferred to the Worcestershire Regiment maybe around Nov/Dec1915. Discharged due to wounds 29 May 1917. Silver War Badge no.179793.
I think the photo must be post his discharge, they would have worn their regular uniforms while travelling.
Regards Mark
Posted 27 February 2014 - 12:29 am
Thanks a million for that Mark.
I am amazed that he managed to
survive the Great War by the looks of it! He may have joined the Royal Navy then afterwards or the merchant navy.
I will try and rule out any Royal/Merchant Navy connection just in case my relative was wrong about him being in the Connaught Rangers.
Thank you for your help

Whether there's a War on Women being waged by politicians around the country is open to debate. There is definitely a War Over the War On Women, and Washington state has a top commander on both sides of the battle lines.
Field marshal for the Democrats is Sen. Patty Murray, who has been using the phrase "War on Women" for months, often in fundraising appeals for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. In simple military terms, the committee's strategy is to elect as many Democrats to the Senate as possible; its tactic, raise as much money as quickly as possible. Its favorite cruise missile is an email appealing for immediate contributions to prevent an impending disaster of apocalyptic dimensions.
In floor speeches, press releases and letters to other elected folks, Murray has consistently criticized various Republican initiatives or statements to restrict access to contraception, block reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, or eliminate Planned Parenthood as clear signs the GOP is waging a WOW. She is, in every sense, fully locked and loaded for this fight.
U.S. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers became the new brigadier general in the field last week, assigned to turn the tide for the Republicans. Trying to switch to offense from defense, she wrote a guest column for a conservative news website, took to the microphone at the House GOP leadership press conference and went on "Hardball with Chris Matthews" to declare there is no Republican WOW. It's a big Democratic myth, she said, designed to camouflage the fact that the economy is bad, gas prices are high and President Obama's ratings with women are low. House Republicans, she said, are concentrating on things women really care about: the economy and the budget.
As the highest-ranking woman in House GOP leadership, McMorris Rodgers is the obvious person to be assigned this counterattack. She was armed with polling that shows women think religiously affiliated institutions should be able to opt out of government mandates to provide contraceptives, which runs counter to the Obama administration's policy.
To wage this WOWOW, Murray would seem to have the better strategic position. Some Republicans keep saying things that give the other side ammunition, and make McMorris Rodgers' position vulnerable to a flanking maneuver.
For example, Idaho legislators spent time last week considering a bill to require invasive ultrasounds before a woman has an abortion. When the issue of exceptions for rape came up, one senator — guess the gender here — said a doctor should ascertain whether the pregnancy might be the result of normal marital relations rather than rape.
Asked about such comments, McMorris Rodgers shot back that in Washington, Democrats were pushing a social agenda from the other side, passing same-sex marriage legislation and trying to expand coverage for abortion. The contraception debate is really about allowing religious institutions and employers with deep religious convictions to opt out of coverage to which they object, she said.
She's got a defensible position when stating that most women aren't single-issue voters. But Republicans seem open to easy counter-attack by mentioning only contraception or abortion on the conscience clause. If it's really about religious freedom, why not demand that Jehovah's Witness employers can refuse coverage for blood transfusions? Such exceptions should be allowed under federal law, too, she acknowledged.
The release of Rep. Paul Ryan's latest budget may shift the battlefield from contraception and abortion to taxes and Medicare. If so, McMorris Rodgers could get a campaign ribbon for a small battle that gave House Republicans some breathing room until the troops get redeployed. Winning that battle, however, is not winning the war. Or even the war over the war.

IN 1845 two great works began to appear. They were Armand Lefebvre's Histoire des cabinets de l'Europe pendant le Consulat et l'Empire and Thiers's Histoire du Consulat et de l'Empire, a continuation of his youthful Histoire de la Révolution franϚaise, completed nearly twenty years earlier. Thiers's book became the great popular history of Napoleon. Volume succeeded volume in an inexhaustible stream, until by 1862 all twenty had appeared. In spite of the magnitude of the work its success was overwhelming. For a generation Thiers's was the last word on the subject, and his book overshadowed that of Lefebvre. Lefebvre, who was a few years younger than Thiers, being born in 1800, a diplomat, and the son of a diplomat who had served Napoleon, suffered from this.1 It is true that his book, the unattractive title of which conceals a history of Bonaparte's foreign policy, cannot stand comparison with that of Thiers for pace, fullness and colour. Nevertheless it has its own special qualities. Even though the writer sets his diplomatic history in its wider background -- the development of the Revolutionary idea and of the Consular and Imperial regime in France -- the limits imposed by the subject give his work more unity. This becomes apparent when one compares him with Bignon. The contrast makes the latter take on even more the appearance of a chronicler, while in Lefebvre one can appreciate the attempt at truly historical presentation.
Lefebvre had his own interpretation of Bonaparte and his statesmanship, which he develops with a sure touch. The actual narrative is not the most important part of his book. His documentation is not up to present-day standards. Though he did draw from archive material he failed to consult non-French sources, in itself an irreparable omission in a book dealing with a subject of this nature. For all his positive tone, he is often wide of the mark,____________________

Interesting post about digital vs. mechanical buttons:
"Sometime about 2-3 years ago, the saturated consumer electronics
industry, hungry for new but matured technology, has been exploring
what we designers call "static" buttons. These "static" buttons are
essentially non-mechanical (ie non-moving) and use electronic
circuitry as a means to detect triggering contact.
I am starting to feel such non-mechanical buttons actually reduce the
user experience rather than enhance it. Often because these static
buttons are not used in a correct context and it lacks the most
important thing a tactile and haptic feedback."

Brent Delahoussaye is leading the Canadian Open by two shots.
The 29 year old golfer, who is making his 14 start in a PGA event, shot an 8-under par 62 yesterday at St Georges Golf and Country Club, to match the Canadian Open record.
Only four other golfers have shot 62 in the Canadian Open; Leonard Thompson in 1981, Andy Bean in 1983, Greg Norman in 1986 and Hunter Mahon in 2007.
In near perfect weather condition, his round included an eagle, seven birdies and a bogey, to also break the course record of 64, set by Canadian George Knudson in 1968.
"I've been hitting it well. I was just getting in my own way," Delahoussaye said. "Today, I was like, you know what, `I'm just going to go out there and play. This course doesn't set up good for me, so I'm just going to go out there with a good attitude and not worry about it.' And look where I am now."
Vance Veale and Brock Mackenzie are both tying for second place, having shot 64. They are followed by a large group of golfers who shot 65, Hunter Mahon, Dean Wilson, Charley Hoffman, Jimmy Walker, Rich Barcelo, Steve Wheatcroft, Spencer Levin, Daniel Chopra and Brian Stuard

You know things are out of control when the Burg-Al-Arab starts to seem like a bargain. The Dubai hotel, designed in the shape of a sail billowing over Jumeirah Beach, has long been considered the model of ultra-luxury for those who desire an over-the-top lodging experience. If you really want to impress your in-laws, you can book the Burg-Al-Arab's marble-and-gold-filled Royal Suite, which comes complete with a dining room for 12, a library, a cinema room and a team of butlers to cater to your every whim.

The Galapagos Islands, some 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador, rank among the world's most distinctive and abundant wildlife destinations. Roughly 9,000 species live here and in surrounding waters. The mostly uninhabited isles are like a natural-history museum, except the animals aren't stuffed—they're wild. Exploring the Galapagos, I often felt as if I was walking in an exotic zoo without cages.

In any season, few Appalachian vistas can rival the views from the mile-high Blue Ridge Parkway, which connects Virginia's Shenandoah highlands with North Carolina's Great Smokies. When I visited, the freshly unfurled leaves of oaks and maples were green. The flowering tulip poplars appeared yellowish-green. Pollen fluff floated on air through the slanting sun. In the distance, bluish layers of the mountainsides were festooned with flowering white dogwood and blooming pink redbud.

'Hotel Hell' inn up for tax saleJuly 24,2013By Christian Avard
Staff Writer
WINDSOR — The inn that was featured on a popular television show is up for a tax sale according to the Windsor Town Manager.
Tom Marsh confirmed the Juniper Hill Inn on Pembroke Road in Windsor will be auctioned Aug. 9 at town hall if back taxes are not paid in time. He said the inn owes up to $120,000 in back taxes, liens, overdue utility bills and interest and must pay it off within one year.
"This process is underway," Marsh said. "The most common outcome is a mortgage holder will pay the taxes before it foregoes the tax sale. My expectation is the mortgage holder will step up and not let the thing be sold for a fraction of what they are owed. So they would step up, pay it and the go through the foreclosure process."
Juniper Hill Inn co-owners Robert Dean and Ari Nikki were not available for comment. A representative at the inn said they are still open and they have been "fully-booked."
The Juniper Hill Inn was featured on "Hotel Hell" on the Fox Network. In this series, host Gordon Ramsay, who also stars in the hit show "Hell's Kitchen" visits struggling bed and breakfasts and inns across the country with the hopes of turning them around. The episodes aired last August.

If you're trying to get from River Forest to Chicago for an internship/job, the weekend, to catch a train or plane, or any other reason, there are two very simple ways via public transit. About a mile south of Concordia's campus is a subway station (Harlem-Green) and a rail station (Oak Park). A mile is walkable, but if you're carrying luggage, you can catch a bus there. Two lines, 90 and 307, will be able to take you. These bus lines are also invaluable for getting around campus and River Forest. If you live off-campus and want to commute without a car, plan ahead because you can take one of the local buses to class if you find a rental near a stop.

On the weekend, many students pack up their bags and head to Chicago. Some of them drive, and others take nearby public transportation routes. Heading to the city is tremendously fun and every student here should do it at least a couple times a semester, but you don't have to leave River Forest to have a great weekend. If you want to enjoy dinner and a movie, there are great restaurants in town and in neighboring areas as well. Classic Cinemas is the local theater, and is always showing the newest films. If you're an outdoorsy type, Thatcher Woods is right near the campus and has great walking and biking trails. If you want to exercise, enjoy the outdoors, or just take a break from studying, this is a great place for it.
