Baby Style: Irresistible Knitwear Designs and Home Accessories for 0-3 Year Olds
by Debbie Bliss
Buy it Now at Amazon.com
It takes quite a lot of imagination to publish 14 books and still come up something original. And that's just what Debbie Bliss has done in "Baby Style," her 14th collection of knitting patterns.
The Look
Colors are more subdued than in many of Bliss' previous books. The focus is more on textured stitches than on outrageous color combinations.
When in Doubt... Accessorize
If accessories are your thing, you won't be disappointed here. Highlights include a Scottie dog cushion, moss-stitch coat hanger covers, and a throw with buttoned pockets.
Rowan All the Way
Debbie Bliss designs for Rowan yarns. You can substitute by simply finding a yarn of similar tension and fiber content.
The Patterns
Bliss likes to guide you through her patterns, often row by row. She doesn't include schematics of how all the finished pieces fit together. This makes for extra work and potential for error. It's especially problematic with the garments and accessories that have multiple components. On their own, they look ambiguous.
Getting Started
Bliss lists international importers for Rowan yarns at the back of the book, but there are no URLs. To locate a Rowan yarn retailer near you, click here. To visit Debbie Bliss' Web site, click here.

Perseverance is sometimes but another word for self-reliance. Many persons naturally look on the dark side of life, and borrow trouble. They are born so. Then they ask for advice, and they will be governed by one wind and blown by another, and cannot rely upon themselves. Until you can get so that you can rely upon yourself, you need not expect to succeed. I have known men, personally, who have met with pecuniary reverses, and absolutely committed suicide, because they thought they could never overcome their misfortune. But I have known others who have met more serious financial difficulties, and have bridged them over by simple perseverance, aided by a firm belief that they were doing justly, and that Providence would "overcome evil with good." You will see this illustrated in any sphere of life.

Well, Minnesota teased us with some nice weather before coming back with more snow this May. My first draft of this column praised Minnesota summer and reflected on the wonderful feeling of fresh air we got after months stuck inside. But, alas, Mother Nature had other plans.
In Minnesota we are used to weather like this. Late snow storms after 80 degree days are pretty normal in a Minnesota "spring." I liken our weather outlook to Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World."
In that novel all of the citizens live a happy life, aided by pills that leave everyone in a permanent high. Ironically, since everyone is happy, no one is happy at all. Among other things, "Brave New World" teaches its readers that you have to experience those rotten times in order to really appreciate the good times.
While it is snowing in Minnesota this May, when those 80 degree days come back we will be ever appreciative of our good fortune. We can appreciate nice weather better than anyone else in the United States because we are teased by summer all throughout our spring.

I used to use it. switched to Hex Fiend. Both of them are fantastic
EDIT: I have since switched to Hex Fiend.
As metalsnake said, this HexEdit project is no longer being maintained....plus Hex Fiend is Cocoa as opposed to Carbon, yet is still free.
GAH! No matter what I do, this always turns up as a blank file (mac users should know this one, it says it can't find an application to open it)! I'd like to use this program to fool around with my Halo 1 demo, and I have everything I need except for a Edit. I run an OSX mac, and it's been able to download a good deal of things. What should I do?
PS: my email is [email protected]
Project is dead. :(
Was a good Hex Editor and I still use it.
Small, easy to use, and free....need I say more?

MINTURN -Movies in the Park at Little Beach Park & Amphitheater in Minturn takes place every other Saturday until Aug. 18. Movies, popcorn and drinks are free and the event is open to the public. This season features a local singer/songwriter series before the movie. On Saturday longtime Minturn local, Jean Flaherty, will share her original tunes on stage starting at 7:30 p.m."Jean is an active member of our community and when I learned that she had this talent I was pleasantly surprised," said Jodi Jahrling, executive director of the Minturn Community Fund (MCF). "The MCF is thrilled to feature a Minturn musician that I'm sure only a few have had the pleasure to hear."Flaherty has been laying down her tracks at Mintown Studios, in Minturn, but today's performance will be her first public performance for a lot of those tunes, some inspired from books she's read, like "The Art of Racing in the Rain," dedicated to her dog, Josie May. The movie "Grease" (PG-13) will start right after the music."Come a little early to chat with your Vail Valley neighbors. Bring a blanket, warm clothes, and your dinner. We'll provide a free evening of entertainment under the stars," Jahrling said. "We even pass out glow sticks and give away a door prize. We're always excited to bring people out to share in this beautiful, small town park and amphitheater."Founded in June 2002, the Minturn Community Fund (MCF) is a nonprofit organization whose purpose is to provide diverse cultural, educational, entertainment and community building events in Minturn and provide financial assistance to projects initiated by local Minturn organizations or citizen groups that benefit the Minturn community and its citizens.

With National Safe Boating Week wrapping up this weekend, the timing seemed appropriate to dust off an old first-person rescue story that fits right in with the theme.
The year was 2007. The setting, Donner Lake, early May.
My buddies Russell and Jeff and I were trolling for mackinaw, unsuccessfully, on Jeff's old-school beast of a boat — a 1970-something inboard with a cabin cover, named "Rivets," which once was used as a search-and-rescue boat on Walker Lake (or maybe it was Lake Lahontan).
The day was getting late, with few boats remaining on the lake, when we heard a holler for help.
We scanned our surroundings to find a man in a ski boat, gesticulating in our direction as he approached from about 100 yards away. He pointed frantically toward what looked like three bobbing heads in the still-chilly water.
A good distance from the floating lumps, which now appeared to include waving arms, we could see a personal watercraft (more commonly referred to as a Waverunner) idling in the opposite direction in a weaving pattern.
The situation quickly summed up itself. The undulating objects were indeed people, apparently dumped from their vessel, and they were stranded in the middle of the cold lake signaling for rescue.
By the time he reached us, the man in the ski boat had a plan. He instructed us to pluck the bodies out of the water while he went after the loose vessel.
We fulfilled our end of the bargain, speeding over to what we discovered to be two young girls, about 10 to 12 years old, and an older brother type, maybe 14.
Once we had their shivering bodies safely on board — not the easiest task with the deck of our bulky boat so high off the water — we turned our attention to the man in the ski boat.
He was doing his best to chase down the personal watercraft, which was snaking left and right as it motored along no faster than 3 mph. But it was clear that his boating skills were no match for the elusive vessel. He performed far better in the planning stage.
So we took over the slow-speed chase, Jeff behind the wheel of his boat, which, without power steering, was far from nimble in the chop. Soon after, it also became clear that Jeff was not competent enough to perform the mission (in his defense, the boat was new to him and not at all easy to drive).
Before he could argue, I shooed him from the driver's seat and took the wheel — who knew those eight years working at a marina during high school and college would pay off in this way?
Slowly, steadily, I crept up on the shifty craft, matching its swerving motions. "Russell! Get out to the front and hop onto it!" Reluctantly, Russell positioned himself on the bow, seemingly ready to pounce. The small vessel vanished from my view as we pulled up on its tail, now just a few feet away.
"Jump, Russell! Jump on it!"
But he didn't, wouldn't, even after a few more choice words of encouragement. He just froze in his pouncing position, unwilling to make the leap of faith. "You would have had to rescue me," he said later.
Before I could yell at him again, one of the young girls we pulled from the water — a wiry spider monkey of a kid — pushed her way past Russell and leapt without hesitation from the front of the boat. She landed squarely on the seat with a knee-banging thud.
The girl quickly slipped the lanyard cord around her wrist, gained control of the vessel and circled back alongside our boat.
After a brief but sincere "thank you," the teenage boy and other young girl jumped aboard.
The young trio sped off with a great story to tell, or perhaps never to tell, as we reminisced about our successful rescue operation.
And with that, a potentially hazardous lesson was learned: Wear your lanyard, or be left stranded in the cold.

Hope for Kids with Amniotic Bands Syndrome
Advances in Technology Have Helped Patients Beat the Rare Condition
06.21.13 | By
Dean Kamen, a great scientist and inventor, said that "we now live in a world where technology, in many ways, has triumphed over death." As we look at the bigger picture around the value of innovation, particularly in a cost-containment environment, we must always keep this triumph in the back of our minds.
The good news is that advances in technology have not only helped patients beat deadly diseases, it has also provided hope for patients living with debilitating conditions. For example, NPR this week highlighted the fact that 3-D printers can now be programmed to help create mechanical hands for patients who are missing fingers.
This couldn't be better news for Americans who have faced amputations, including thousands of children suffering from a rare condition called amniotic bands syndrome. Why? It provides new hope that they can live normal, productive lives – and offers a chance for them to participate in activities that they once thought would be impossible.
Amniotic bands syndrome (ABS) is a congenital disorder caused by entrapment of fetal parts (usually limbs, fingers) in fibrous amniotic bands while in utero. Many scientists believe that ABS occurs when there is a partial rupture of the amniotic sac that could result in fibrous bands wrapping around fingers and other body parts.
I had never heard of ABS until a few weeks ago, when my neighbor gave birth to her adorable son. Shortly after, her husband noticed something wrong with his fingers. It was later discovered that he was one of approximately 1,200 babies born each year in the U.S. diagnosed with this rare and debilitating condition.
As you can imagine, the news was equally devastating and shocking. He lost half his thumb and will most likely lose at least half of his other two fingers on his left hand.
This new technology represents an important innovation milestone for mothers with children who lost fingers to ABS. And it helps raise awareness of a condition that many mothers, myself included, hadn't heard of.
Because of this, each time I go in for my sonogram appointment, I ask whether or not they see little bands in the amniotic fluid. Perhaps it's a bit paranoid, but this news has empowered me to ask more informed medical questions about the health of my future children.
Stories like this constantly remind me of the important work that the industry I represent does to also help advance innovation so that patients suffering from disease, including rare conditions, can lead healthier and more productive lives. Though we say it often, it isn't just a generic line without meaning. It is what inspires us to do a better job of telling the industry's story about research, progress and hope.

The Daily Devoted
I weigh myself every morning. If I go up 2 pounds, I'll opt for a salad and chicken. But if the number drops, I'll order a cheesesteak and get Dairy Queen for dessert! —Lisa DiBello, 30; Havertown, Pennsylvania
If you're dieting, it's smart to weigh yourself daily. People who did lost twice as much as those who weighed in less often, a study from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities finds. Regular checks keep you focused, Dawn Jackson Blatner, R.D., of Chicago says. But using the number to pick the day's food won't help your frame (or psyche): Daily ups and downs are usually due to water weight, not lasting loss or gain.
"To get the real picture, write down your weight daily and average it weekly," says Irene Rubaum-Keller, a psychotherapist in Los Angeles. "Use the trend to inform your diet."
The Diehard
I step on the scale in the morning and again at night. I'm heavier at night, so when I wake up and weigh less, I feel as if I'm on the right track. —Laura Berger, 40; Fort Lauderdale, Florida
You may weigh less in the morning, but that doesn't mean you've truly shed pounds. (Sorry!) Post-slumber dehydration is the cause of the lower a.m. read. "Taken to an extreme, frequent weigh-ins every day could lead to an unhealthy obsession or even an eating disorder," says clinical psychologist Lavinia Rodriguez, Ph.D., of Tampa Bay, Florida.
If you're hooked on hopping on, cut back to once a day and stash the scale in your closet to hide temptation. And rather than motivating yourself with phony results, focus on actual triumphs, like finishing an ass-kicking workout.
The Scale-Phobe
I refuse to step on the scale—it gives me anxiety. Whatever the number is, I'm never satisfied. I begin obsessing about being too heavy. —Terri Huggins, 23; Sayreville, New Jersey
"It's common for women of all sizes to avoid the digital beast," Rubaum-Keller says. In fact, 21 percent of you view it as the enemy, according to a Self.com poll. "Some women tie their self-esteem to their weight. Others would rather not know because they're not ready to change their diet," Rubaum-Keller says. But avoidance sets you up for a rude awakening when you do get the guts to step on—which could lead to a blues-induced binge or a too-drastic diet. "To make peace with the scale, confront it," Rubaum-Keller says.
Start by weighing yourself once a month, then work up to weekly. If the digits make you cringe, consider this: Now that you have the facts, you can make healthy changes.
The Weekly Weigher
I weigh myself on Friday mornings. It encourages me to continue eating healthfully and exercising on weekends. —Danielle La Casse, 28; St. Petersburg, Florida
To maintain your weight, weekly weigh-ins are your best bet. Seventy-five percent of people in the National Weight Control Registry (a study of dieters who have lost at least 30 pounds and kept it off for a year or more) weigh themselves once a week.
Friday is a good day for it because that number stays on your mind all weekend, when you're prone to chowing down, Blatner says. Getting on the scale first thing is also wise (81 percent of you do it!); exercising and eating can sway results. Don't freak if the number creeps up one week. Consistency is key, so average a month of numbers before making any overhauls.
The Scaleless
I never weigh myself. If my pants feel tight, I'll eat less chocolate and hit the treadmill more often. —Allison Dwyer, 32; Jersey City, New Jersey
If you're happy with your shape and not concerned about the number on the scale, it's fine to use clothes to hold yourself accountable to eating right and exercising regularly, Blatner says. But make sure you're measuring with fitted jeans and not your "pigging out" yoga pants.
That said, it's helpful to weigh yourself at least once a year. Gaining a few pounds a year can add up and put you at greater risk for disease, Blatner says. And the pounds could be creeping on without your realizing it—you know, even jeans stretch.
How often should you weigh in?
Assess your goals. What you want to accomplish should guide your habits:
- When you're trying to trim, daily checks are ideal. They offer proof that hard work pays off and remind you to keep it up.
- If you hope to maintain, weigh in weekly. This will alert you if the digits rise over time.
- Scale haters can use pants to see changes, but weigh yourself annually to keep it real.

Capital Journal Daybreak: National Guard Called to End Clashes in Ferguson | Obama Returns to White House | Gov. Perry Strikes Defiant Tone
Sign up for the newsletter: http://on.wsj.com/CapitalJournalSignup
AUTHORITIES WADE DEEPER INTO FERGUSON SHOOTING: Michael Brown, the unarmed, African-American 18-year-old whose shooting by a police officer has sparked violent protests in Ferguson, Mo., was hit by at least six bullets, including two to the head, according to a former New York City medical examiner. The autopsy results were released Sunday night as a march protesting Mr. Brown's death erupted in chaos when police forced back demonstrators in a cloud of smoke and a hail of sizzling canisters. The Latest: After a night of clashes between protesters and police, Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon early Monday morning said he was calling in the National Guard to help restore order.
Meanwhile, the Justice Department has ordered its own autopsy of Mr. Brown, adding to a tangle of federal, state and local moves that at times have had authorities working at cross-purposes. Federal officials are also conducting a probe into whether Mr. Brown's civil rights were violated. Federal prosecutors face significant legal limitations when it comes to charging police officers, because—unlike local district attorneys—they can't file charges based on reckless acts, only over violations of civil rights.
–Rebecca Ballhaus
With the world ablaze–Syria and Iraq; Israel and Gaza; Ukraine and Russia–President Barack Obama's attention has been riveted abroad for months. And many voters are deeply dissatisfied with the U.S.'s role in the world and its handling of current crises. But you'd get no hint of all that from listening to the 2014 midterm election campaign ads. For more on election 2014, read Janet Hook's full post in Washington Wire.
KURDS PUSH TO TAKE MOSUL DAM: As Washington and its Kurdish allies turned up pressure on the Islamic State, U.S. jets, drones and bombers pounded Sunni insurgent positions to ease the siege of the strategically vital Mosul Dam. The militants retreated from some of their positions around the dam, the latest front across Iraq where Kurds have gained in recent days with the aid of stepped-up U.S. air attacks, advisers and weapons—and a controversial new ally: fighters from a Kurdish guerrilla force that Washington considers a terror organization. Joe Parkinson reports. (Read more on the U.S.'s widened air campaign against Sunni extremists.)
PERRY STRIKES DEFIANT TONE AFTER INDICTMENT: Texas Gov. Rick Perry said he did nothing wrong in trying to oust a Democratic district attorney, the action that led to his indictment last week for abuse of power. Mr. Perry told Fox News he was within his rights under the state constitution to veto funding for a state prosecutorial unit. The governor is not running for re-election in Texas but has hinted at a potential presidential run, recently launching a new political-action committee, RickPAC, and making visits to early 2016 battleground states. Nathan Koppel and Ben Leubsdorf report.
OPEN-CARRY FIGHT SET TO HIT KROGER: One of former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's gun-control groups this week will begin pressuring the nation's largest supermarket operator to dissuade individuals from openly carrying weapons in its stores. The initiative comes after Mr. Bloomberg's groups have had mixed results in backing candidates in elections and trying to influence changes in government gun regulations. Kroger says corporate policies abiding by state and local laws are enough to protect customers. Reid J. Epstein reports.
ALSO IN THE NEWS: WSJ's Jon Hilsenrath examines economists' concerns that the Federal Reserve will wait too long before raising short-term interest rates … Large institutions are snapping up U.S. junk bonds, taking advantage of a price slide triggered by an exodus of individual investors … Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Monday all issues surrounding the delivery of what Moscow says is humanitarian aid in a convoy have been resolved, but no progress was made toward reaching a cease-fire in eastern Ukraine … A five-day truce between Israel and Hamas is due to expire at midnight Monday, local time … A new court ruling may mean U.S. law doesn't extend far enough to protect certain whistleblowers who make allegations at foreign companies … Small-business lending has been stuck in a slow recovery behind most other types of business and consumer loans … WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange argued with Ecuador's foreign minister at a news conference Monday, saying he should be free to leave the Ecuadorean embassy.
The Alaska GOP primary this week effectively marks the end of the competitive primary season, and then the focus will return to whether Republicans will take control of the Senate in December. Many analysts say the Republican Party's chances are slightly greater than 50%. WSJ Washington Bureau Chief Jerry Seib takes a look at the five seats in the general election that he sees as the canaries in the coal mine.
–THE PRESIDENT: President Obama is back in Washington, where he will meet with members of the National Security Council to receive an update on the situation in Iraq and with Attorney General Eric Holder to receive an update on Ferguson, Mo. Mr. Obama is scheduled to return to Martha's Vineyard, where his family is vacationing, on Tuesday.
–HUD SECRETARY: At the White House, Vice President Joe Biden swears in Julian Castro, former mayor of San Antonio, as the secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Mr. Castro was confirmed by the Senate in July to replace Shaun Donovan, who has beenconfirmed to lead the Office of Management and Budget, and will face a number of challenges at HUD, including providing support to a housing market that is recovering but still has pockets of weakness.
Peter Beinart says the big gap in the country on foreign policy isn't between left and right or Democrats and Republicans, but between the elites and everybody else. He writes in The Atlantic that "elite opinion has grown more hawkish even though public opinion at large hasn't."
MSNBC's Ari Melber argues that the indictment of Texas Gov. Rick Perry for abusing power by declaring he was going to veto funding for a Texas prosecutor in order to force her to resign is a weak one: "Simply put, it's hard to imagine sending a governor to jail for talking about why he issued a veto."
National Review's Tom Rogan says that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's campaign is succeeding in its key strategic goal of splitting Hamas away from the more moderate Fatah Palestinian movement of Mahmoud Abbas.
Thomas Frank has some advice on how President Obama can go around Congress to make a bigger mark. In fact, on Salon, he has three specific pieces of advice on ways he could do that, including by investigating and prosecuting fraud committed during the housing bubble.
In WSJ's Think Tank, Michael Kugel offers a series of reasons to take seriously the wave of protests against new Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif: "In short, what's happening in Pakistan is no run-of-the-mill rally–especially in a nuclear-armed country with a history of volatility."
In fiscal 2013, the Securities and Exchange Commission's whistleblower program received tips from people in 55 foreign countries, according to the agency. Tipsters submitting information from abroad made up 12% of the tipsters participating in the program during that period.

Prosecutors says Hemy's motive was jealousy. [AP]

SANTA CLARA -- While the 49ers evaluated Peyton Manning and eventually re-signed Alex Smith last spring, Colin Kaepernick often was playing catch and strengthening his bond with Kyle Williams at the 49ers' facility.
"We kind of grew up in the organization together," Williams said Tuesday. "To see him take off, it's awesome. I might be his biggest fan in here."
Up until his Nov. 25 knee injury, Williams long served as Kaepernick's go-to guy, and that traces back to their informal workouts at San Jose State during the 2011 player lockout. Their connection carried over to the 2012 offseason workouts and the 49ers' official practices.
But Williams disappeared from the 49ers' radar when he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. That occurred during their Nov. 25 win at New Orleans, in which Kaepernick made his second straight start as Alex Smith's successor.
Williams, a third-year wide receiver, returned to the locker room Tuesday and immediately found Kaepernick at his locker for a smile-filled reunion.
Williams insisted Tuesday that he'll be "perfectly fine" by the time training camp rolls around in six months. Like virtually every other NFL player who sustained a torn ACL this season, his comeback is inspired by Adrian Peterson, the Minnesota Vikings' running back who came within 9 yards of breaking the NFL's single-season rushing record in his 2012 return.
"I'm not going to turn out and be Adrian Peterson," Williams conceded. "But you see him do it, and his was worse and he did it later in the season."
This will be the second straight offseason in which Williams has to rebound from adversity. A year ago, he botched two punt returns while filling in for Ted Ginn Jr. during the NFC Championship game loss to the New York Giants.
Before his knee injury, Williams tallied 14 catches for 212 yards and a touchdown while splitting time with Randy Moss as the 49ers' No. 3 receiver.

Do something to fight poverty
Published: Saturday, December 22, 2012 at 10:44 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, December 22, 2012 at 10:44 p.m.
I am writing in response to your coverage of the fiscal cliff debate in D.C.
The U.S. Census Bureau's latest poverty report shows that in 2011, 46 million Americans lived in poverty, including more than one in four children under age 5.
It is a tragedy that nearly one in seven Americans struggle to put food on the table and a roof over their head.
We need to balance the budget not on the backs of our most vulnerable.
That is not who we are as a nation.
We have tools to help these Americans.
The earned-income tax credit and child tax credit are very effective at poverty reduction.
In 2011, these credits lifted 8.7 million people out of poverty, more than half of them children.
These credits benefit child-care workers, firemen, police officers and even military personnel.
These credits have enjoyed broad bipartisan support in the past.
Unfortunately, if we do nothing now, key improvements to these credits will expire this month.
If we let them expire, we will grow the number of Americans, working Americans, living in poverty.
I urge Sens. Mary Landrieu and David Vitter to put protections for low-wage working families first.
Don't raise taxes on the poor — protect and extend the current EITC and CTC.
And, this holiday season, let's not just donate toys to tots or coats to foster children, let's support effective policies to end poverty.
I learn how as a volunteer member of RESULTS.
Join the effort to end poverty, learn more at www.results.org.

1. My SecondLife interviewbot is coming along nicely: 07:04
I'd have given up on the Linden Scripting Language long ago if Stephen Perelgut hadn't wanted this bot so much. It's a good thing I didn't, though, as the interviewbot is coming along nicely. It can read questions from a notecard, ask a series of questions, report the answers to the owner of the interviewbot, e-mail the answers off-world, and allow the owner to delete or reset answers. It can receive answers through channel messages or general chat with a prefix. Not bad.
Next, I should give it the ability to limit interviewees (if prequalification is used), do owner-type interactions using a password, and include dialogs. I'll also have to stress-test it someday.
Programming is fun, even when you need to deal with a lot of limits.
Random Emacs symbol: custom-define-hook - Variable: Hook called after defining each customize option.
2. Work permit on its way: 07:06
A CIC official called me two days ago to clarify something on my application for a post-graduate work permit. When we cleared that up, she told me that my work permit should be done that day. Yay! I'm looking forward to getting it in the mail. Of course, that probably means less time to work on my book, but it'll be good to work. =)
Random Emacs symbol: ccl-encode-euc-tw - Variable: CCL program to encode EUC-TW encoding.
3. When there's more than one way to do things: 09:09
Writing about Emacs turns out to be difficult. There are so many ways to do something. My goal for this book is to show people some of the things that are possible and to help people choose. I'm starting to feel a little overwhelmed myself, too. The key thing that's making this manageable for me is giving myself permission to write snippets here and there, leaving the editing and organization to later.
I'm currently working on a chapter about planning your day within Emacs. It gives me an excuse to poke around Planner and other modules, figuring out how to do things. While writing about Planner and appointments, I took my first close look at planner-appt. Now I have to think: is this better than the way I'm currently keeping track of my appointments? Should I switch to it? How do I describe it for others? Should I show how to use it together with planner-cyclic?
Maybe I just need to stay focused on the reader, instead of on the features of the software. What do people want to be able to do? That's the key...
Gah. This writing thing is hard. But it'll be worth it...
Random Emacs symbol: tty-display-color-cells - Function: Return the number of colors supported by TTY on DISPLAY.
4. The Kitten-ful Life: 16:02
One of my friends has the absolutely best setup for kittendom. She fosters kittens for the Toronto Human Society, taking in kittens and raising them to be well-socialized, adoptable, absolutely adorable kitties. This is not an easy job. I remember raising the KittenWhoMustNotBeNamed (now called Neko or Catastrophix, depending on whether you ask me or my sister). Waking up every four hours to feed the kitten, getting used to the ever-present smell of soy milk or kitty chow, trying to teach the kitty not to bite (no luck)... But kittens are so adorable, and I'm sure jz will get _plenty_ of nice pictures... Too bad W- is allergic to cats and dogs. Envy!
Random Emacs symbol: eshell-number-of-handles - Variable: *The number of file handles that eshell supports.

Hi, my name is Daniel Widmann or better known as Nion. I am an IT Student from germany. I am interested in digital art and I made this website to share my work with the world.
My intention with this website is to have a place, where I can store everything I make - not only pictures like on deviantArt or only videos like on YouTube. Furthermore I can keep you up to date with news, start polls or upload files. So I would be really happy if you come back to this site once in a while.
Of course my YouTube and deviantArt accounts will be continued, but it is possible, that some materials will be published on this site at first.
If you found that site by a fluke and you don't know who I am, you could watch my demoreel from 2009. It was made about 10 months after my first experiences with Blender. You will realise that my animations are focused on special effects. That's because I rather like to have logical challenges (how can I achieve effect xy?), than just time consuming ones (e.g. character animation).

PARKERSBURG - Frigid temperatures have kept local heating companies hopping.
The temperature dropped into the single digits Wednesday morning and highs are expected to reach only into the 30s during the next several days. Lows will be in the teens.
It is a dramatic change from the relatively balmy temperatures the area has seen in recent weeks, Bruce Bolden, vice president of sales at Steers Heating and Cooling in Parkersburg, said.
"Whenever there is a drastic change, especially with the mild weather we've been having, it puts a strain on everything," he said. "These appliances don't have to run quite as often, and then suddenly they are running all the time."
Bolden said most of the service calls in the past week have been due to malfunctioning heating systems.
"Most of the calls are no heat or just not warm enough," he said. "Over the last four days, we've probably taken in more than 80 service calls."
Steve Hardman, vice president of service for Steers in Parkersburg, said crews have been working all hours and through weekends to meet the demand. In many cases service engineers are outside in the cold themselves.
"There is a lot of work outside, on rooftop units, on outside units," he said.
The boost in calls hasn't only affected Steers. Grogg's Heating and Air Conditioning in Parkersburg also has seen a massive jump in service calls during the past couple of days.
Owner Tim Hanlon said the company has been "slammed" this week.
"They'll call and say 'it's cold in my house' or 'I have no heat,'" he said. "Then you start worrying about the water pipes freezing. It can turn into all sorts of problems. Also, we have a lot of elderly customers and it creates a health issue."
Hanlon said what seems like a furnace suddenly breaking can actually be an issue for weeks beforehand.
"When it's 40 degrees outside you don't notice, because your furnace is working just well enough to keep up with it," he said. "When it gets down to single digits over a couple of days, it forces it to run a long time, and that's when you can tell there is a problem."
Hanlon said on Tuesday Grogg's had about 50 service calls. Another 20 had come in before noon on Wednesday.
"We have six service techs, and they have been pretty well booked for three days," he said. "I think once it does start warming back up, the calls will decrease, and even if it doesn't start warming up, a lot of problems from the initial cold snap will already have been brought to our attention and dealt with."
Bolden said he also expects the service calls to slow down even if the temperatures remain relatively low.
"The first couple of days you'll get hit hard, then it will go back to a normal schedule," he said.
In the meantime, Hanlon said the biggest concern should be safety, especially if people are using alternative means to help stave off the cold, such as space heaters.
"Make sure there are smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in the house," he said. "Make sure they are good and the batteries are changed. If they think for any reason they do have a carbon monoxide issue, call the fire department."

Rush Foundation Hospital has been named a top performer in a Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), Premier healthcare alliance value-based purchasing (VBP) project that rewards hospitals for delivering high quality care in five clinical areas.
Based on fourth-year results from the Hospital Quality Incentive Demonstration (HQID) project, Rush Foundation Hospital received top performer awards in clinical areas of Heart Failure and Hip/Knee Replacement and recognition attainment in the areas of Heart Attack, CABG, and Pneumonia. Rush is a 215-bed acute care medical/surgical hospital and is affiliated with Rush Health Systems, which also has a long term acute care facility, three critical access hospitals, and physician clinics/practices in the East Mississippi and West Alabama area.
"Providing outstanding patient care has always been our primary mission," said Cathy Robinson, Vice President. "Our successes in this project are a testament to our ongoing efforts to provide excellent quality of care to our patients. We strive to continually raise the bar on quality and patient safety in our community."
"The successes of the hospitals – small and large, urban and rural, teaching and non-teaching – in the HQID project have led to its consideration as the basis for key national health reforms," said Susan DeVore, Premier president and CEO. "As the proposal of a national value-based purchasing program becomes a reality, hospitals participating in HQID will have six years experience with such a model."
About the HQID project
The HQID is the first national project of its kind, designed to determine if economic incentives to hospitals are effective at improving the quality of inpatient care. Through the project, which has been extended by CMS for an additional three years, Premier collects a set of more than 30 evidence-based clinical quality measures from almost 250 hospitals across the country. The quality measures were developed by government and private organizations (for more information on the indicators, visit: www.qualitydemo.com).
HQID tracks process and outcome measures in five clinical areas – acute myocardial infarction (AMI), heart failure, coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), pneumonia, and hip and knee replacement.
Improvements in quality of care saved an estimated 4,700 acute myocardial infarction (AMI/heart attack) patients across the first four years of the project, according to an analysis of mortality rates at hospitals participating in the project. In addition, patients received approximately 500,000 additional recommended evidence-based clinical quality measures, such as smoking cessation, discharge instructions and pneumococcal vaccination, during that same timeframe.
For hospitals participating in the HQID project, the average Composite Quality Score (CQS), an aggregate of all quality measures within each clinical area, improved by 2.2 percent between the project's third and fourth year for total gains of 17.2 percent over the project's first four years.
Additional research by Premier using the Hospital Compare dataset showed that, by March 2008, HQID participants scored on average 6.9 percentage points higher (94.64 percent to 87.36 percent) than non-participants when evaluating 19 common Hospital Compare measures.
About Premier Inc., 2006 Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award recipient

Three separate incidents left three women hospitalized this weekend. Police say all were assaulted by boyfriends or former boyfriends.
In Jackson, 39-year-old Julie Varney was shot several times. Police found her boyfriend Roy Moten dead in her apartment. Varney is in stable condition at Foote Hospital. In Lansing, Police say a man doused his girlfriend in rubbing alcohol, lighting her and himself on fire. Both are still hospitalized. Police say a third woman was shot in the face and tossed in the Grand River after a date. She was able to crawl out and call police, but is in a medically induced coma.
Capitol Area Response Effort, the city of Lansing's domestic abuse response team, says police respond to thousands of domestic abuse calls each year. But it is still one of the most under reported crimes. C.A.R.E. coordinators say there are signs to look for, and family and friends often see these signs before the victim.
Watch for threatening behavior, or violence. Jealousy, controlling behavior and people who blame others for their problems and feelings are also signs. C.A.R.E. says anyone who feels unsafe should call an emergency hotline immediately. There are shelters in Lansing, and surrounding communities.
C.A.R.E.'s crisis hotline can be reached at (517) 372-5572.

Several local residents took advantage of the Livingston County Health Center's walk-in Tdap vaccination clinic during Public Health Week. The shot protects against tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis, or whooping cough. Pertussis has been making a comeback in recent years as immunity wanes in adults. Most often, adults spread the disease to infants, who have not developed immunity. Tdap vaccinations will be available at immunization clinics, or on a walk-in basis during the health center's Tuesday office visit day.

Roger upset by Berdych
Roger had to admit a defeat against Czech Tomas Berdych in Miami on Tuesday, losing a tight match 4-6, 7-6(3), 6-7(6).
"It's no secret that I struggled the last five matches I played in the States," Roger said. "I fought, and tried everything I could, but my game is lacking something right now. I'm lacking timing. I had so many chances, but I never felt great all night. When I don't play my best, it's hard to judge my opponent, but I knew the danger. This only fuels my desire to go to the practice courts and figure out what's wrong, and get better."
Roger had beaten Berdych in eight of their previous nine encounters but paid the penalty for an error-strewn display in which he could only convert two of 12 break point opportunities. After a rather unspectacular first set which Berdych eventually won, Roger could only close the second in the tie-break after having failed to make use of his nine break points. The two players met on the same level once again, breaking and re-breaking, with Roger eventually facing the first match-point of the match at 6-5 in the decider. After a successful challenge on the side of the Czech and another match-point for Roger in the tie-break, our champ eventually had to face the three-set defeat.
Roger will now head back to Europe, where the Internazionali BNL d'Italia start towards the end of April.

Helps You to install Microsoft Internet Explorer 5, 5.5 and 6 on your mac. This tool might be helpful for all those mac artists that have to design websites for windows guys ;) (Requires a intel mac)

app has been discontinued, in favour of WineBottler, which is used to install ie6 (can install ie7 & ie8 as well). mileage may vary.
This is great. Thanks to the wine team and these guys.
Quite impressive. Installed IE6 to test out websites on my Intel Mac. Has saved me from having to run VMWARE quite a bit!
Very not universal, unfortunately. This makes use of Darwine, which is based off Wine, which requires an X86 (Intel) processor. Someone should reflect this in the description (and IUT should allow for Intel-only apps...)

text: Hello all, I am needing advice on a deep well submersible pump. I need to know where and what to buy. I live in mexico, so there are not a lot of options here. I can receive UPS shipments in Chihuahua City, Mexico. The pump I am needing would need to be a 3-wire with external control box. I need it to be able to lift from 300 to 400 feet straight up out of a canyon. The flow would need to be at least 12-15 GPM. My budget is around $600 for the pump. This pump will be used to provide drinking water for a Tarahumara village in the mountains of Chihuahua, Mexico. Thanks in Advance, Ryan Maness Highways and Hedges Ministries http://www.downinmexico.org

When I was about 10, I had gorilla legs, which embarrassed me horribly. Next to my fair-haired classmates who all had fine downy fuzz on their legs, I thought I stood out and that everyone thought I was as hideous as I considered myself to be.
That was also in the olden days when girls weren't allowed to wear pants to school, so I couldn't hide my legs beneath a pair of jeans.
My mom had already said I was too young to shave my legs, but what do moms know? So, I swiped my dad's razor, the one with the really, really sharp double-edged blades, and attacked my furry limbs.

Revolutionary new sterility testing workstation Bioquell QUBE
Featuring proven bio-decontamination technology and flexible design, this new system offers significant efficiencies for cGMP pharmaceutical manufacturing.
By ensuring a controlled aseptic test environment, the Bioquell QUBE helps to minimise the risk of unnecessary, and costly, batch rejection due to false positive sterility test results.
The new workstation has been developed as a cost-effective, modular, barrier separation system. It incorporates Bioquell's unique hydrogen peroxide vapour (HPV) technology to offer a rapid bio-decontamination cycle for fast and efficient transfers. HPV consistently delivers a high-level 6-log reduction in bioburden, validated by high quality HPV-optimised biological indicators. The Bioquell QUBE has been designed to accommodate a fully fitted or bench mounted sterility test unit, including the market leading Merck Millipore Steritest system. An EU GMP Grade A / ISO 5 compliant environment is ensured by both uni-directional airflow and unique isolator technology.
The intelligent modular design offers flexible configurations. If space is limited, a single module can be used. Conversely, if there is a need for high volume throughput, a three chamber workstation can be installed.
The Bioquell QUBE is the latest edition to the company's portfolio of solutions for sterility assurance in cGMP pharmaceutical and biotechnology processes, backed by over 200 years of decontamination experience.
