Skill Level Beginner
A little earlier I talked about multi-serving content where you deliver a web page to both a mobile device and a desktop device where the content is just styled appropriately for each one of the form factors. And the way that you accomplish that is by using a technology called CSS media queries which is what we are going to look at now. CSS media queries provide a way of selectively applying style sheets based upon the characteristics of the display media where the content is going to be consumed, whether it's a screen or a printed page or so on.
But what's nice about it is that you can do things like look at the window size or the screen size or whether or not a device is in portrait or landscape orientation, for example, and apply style sheets based upon those kinds of criteria. CSS style sheets are a W3C candidate recommendation as of July 2010, and you can see I have provided the link there to go and learn more about them. But for now let's just go ahead and take a look at the most common stuff that you can do with media queries.
The most common things you want to do with media queries are displayed in this table here, and right at the top you can see there is properties like width and height, and those properties indicate the width and height of an output surface, like a window, of width or height units, pixels, centimeters or whatever. Below that we've got device-width and device-height, and then we've got orientation. These are the most commonly used media query features that you will run across. And for features that use units you can specify any CSS-compliant unit, like pixels, centimeters, inches, ems, so on.
Now the ones I have listed here and many other media query features except a min or max prefix, and the reason you want to do this is because if you use a media query feature like width that basically means target, say, window of exactly width units. So if I said width: 800, the window would need to be exactly that wide in order for a style sheet to apply. So what you typically do is use things like min-width or max-width, and the min prefix and the max prefix will work for everything listed here except for orientation.
Obviously, there is no such thing as min-portrait or max-landscape; you are either in portrait or a landscape. Okay, those are the commonly used ones. Here are some less commonly used ones you might run across, things like aspect ratio, which is the ratio of a display surface's width to its height. So these are typically used on televisions, 4/3 for old TVs, 16/9 for HD TVs, and so on. You can also look at things like color and color-index and what the resolution of the screen is.
And again, you can use the min and max prefixes with all of these except for the scan and grid media query features, but we are not going to focus on these because these are not very commonly used. Okay, let's see how they are used. To use a media query, it's usually used in one of the following situations. Now on the desktop what you typically have is a screen with a window in it, and the window has properties like width and height. And in media queries the width and height properties would refer to the width and height of the window in the desktop context.
And to get the device-width and the device-height you would use those media query features, and that would refer to the screen. Things are a little bit different usually on mobile devices. Mobile devices don't normally have separate windows. The display window that you're seeing is the same size as the screen. So in that case you have a screen size like this and usually height and device-height and width and device- width refer to the same kind of thing. So that's the main difference between using media queries on desktop and devices.
Now to define media queries there's a couple of ways you can do this. You can define a media query directly within a link tag, as you see here where I've got a link tag that's referring to a style sheet, and that bold text there is the media query itself. Now you have probably seen media queries used before without that 'and' clause in there. What it probably usually looks like to you is link rel="stylesheet" and then media= and it will just say, "screen", or it will just say, "print." The and part where it says "and (max-width: 800px)," that's where the query part comes in because the media query is asking the display surface, "Hey, how wide are you?" If you are at maximum width of 800 pixels and the width of the display service is below that right now, then apply at the style sheet.
You can also do it within the CSS style sheet using the @media directive. So in this case I've got an @media directive where it says screen, so I am targeting screens. And the min-width where this style sheet would apply is 801 pixels. So if the screen is greater than 801 pixels wide, or including 801 pixels, then the media query would evaluate to true and the style sheet would apply. Below that level the style definitions contained within those braces would not apply.
You can define multiple CSS media queries for multiple form factors, and I'll show an example of that right here where we have in the first part we have styles to use for small screens, such as phones. And I have a link going to the style sheet. This is media="screen" and the maximum width is 480 pixels. So for screens up to 480 pixels, we would apply the phone.css file. Then for tablets we have the same kind of definition, stylesheet, and in this case the media is screen and the minimum width is 481 pixels and the maximum width is 800 pixels, because most tablets are between 480 and 800 pixels wide--at least when they are in portrait mode. And if that query evaluated to true then we would apply the tablet.css file.
And then finally, for larger screens we would have media="screen" and just a min-width definition of 801 pixels. So for screens that were wider than 801 pixels, or I should say 801 pixels or wider, we would just include the styles.css file. So the actual question might be, should you use width or should you use device-width? Well, the width and device-width properties mean slightly different things. The width property refers to the current display surface and on a desktop that means the window.
The device-width property refers to whatever the screen display size is. So what that means is on a desktop where the window can be different than the screen, the width property can change. The device-width property doesn't typically change. The general guidelines to follow are this. If your style sheet is going to be used both on desktop and mobile devices, use the width property since on desktops the display service width can change.
If your style sheet is only going to be used on a mobile device, you can use the device-width property, but generally speaking I just use the width property because it's sufficient for most needs. Okay, let's take a look at how this works in real code. Okay, so here I am in the code, and I have got my mediaqueries_start example file open, and this is the HTML version. I have also got mediaqueries_start, the CSS file, and I've got my ExampleSnippets.txt file. So let's begin by taking a look at the mediaqueries_start file.
You can see that here's the code, and let me show you what this looks like in a browser. So here's the file in a desktop browser, and you can see that as I change the width, nothing is happening, and I am just getting the same content when it's flowing, and that's not the experience I would like to have. Let me show you what the finished example looks like. Okay, so here is the finished example. You'll notice that as I change the width of the window down to about 800 pixels, something is happening there, so you see that the links are going horizontal instead of being vertical like they are here.
The title space is changing both right alignment and background color and foreground color, and you can see down here that there is a footer, and the footer in this page looks a little bit different than it does in the other page. So let's see how we got that to happen. So here in my start.html file I've got a mediaqueries_start.css file that I am including. So what I am going to do is go over to the media query CSS file and I am going to go to my snippets and I am going to copy this code right here.
I am going to copy @media screen and (min-width: 801px). I am going to paste that in up here, and I'll put the closing brace down here. Okay, so what I have done is defined a media query where I'm looking at a screen, media, and the minimum width that these style rules have to apply is when the screen is 801 pixels or larger. So when the window is that wide or larger the rules contained within this media block will apply.
Let's go back to the snippets. Now I am going to copy the other media query, and that's this code right here, all the way down to the last brace, and I will copy that and I will paste it below this one. So now, I've essentially got two media queries: one where I'm looking at the minimum width is 801 pixels or larger and then another one where the rules apply for the screen where the maximum width is 800 pixels.
So if the window width is 800 pixels or less, these rules apply; otherwise the other rules apply. I am going to save this, and I am going to make sure this saved as well. And now I am going to go back out to the file system, and I'll start up mediaqueries_start, and we will refresh this and we will go ahead and change. And you can see that now as I am changing the window size, you can see that the layout is changing. Okay, now let's make sure that this is working in our mobile emulators. Okay, so now what I am going to do is copy the files that I just edited over to my web server.
So I will copy them in here, and now I will try it out in my emulators. So let's try it out in the mobile Opera emulator first, and we will do the localhost/exercise_files. And you can see that because the screen width is less than 800 pixels, the style sheet for the small size is being applied. Let's try the same thing in the Windows Phone emulator, localhost, and we are getting the same results over here.
So that in a nutshell is how you use media queries to change how style sheets are applied based upon the physical characteristics of the device that the content is being rendered on.

The Watts Towers are a complex set of 17 separate sculptural pieces built on a residential lot in the community of Watts. Two of the towers rise to a height of nearly 100 feet. The sculptures are constructed from steel pipes and rods, wrapped with wire mesh, coated with mortar, and embedded with pieces of porcelain, tile and glass. Using simple hand tools and cast off materials (broken glass, sea shells, generic pottery and ceramic tile) Italian immigrant, Simon Rodia spent 30 years (1921 to 1955) building a tribute to his adopted country and a monument to the spirit of individuals who make their dreams tangible.
The Watts Towers are one of only nine works of folk art listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The site is one of only four US National Historic Landmarks in the city of Los Angeles. The site is now a unit of California State Parks and managed by the Los Angeles City Cultural Affairs Department.
The Los Angeles City Cultural Affairs Department, through the Watts Towers Arts Center, provides diverse cultural enrichment programming through tours, lectures, changing exhibits and studio workshops for both teachers and school children. Each year, thousands of people are attracted to the Towers' site for the Simon Rodia Watts Towers Jazz Festival and the Watt Towers Day of the Drum Festival.
The towers are located at 1765 East 107th Street, Los Angeles, CA

ŌĆ£My work is driven by an investigation into physicality and how we interact with the physical world,ŌĆØ says Juliana Cerqueira Leite. ŌĆ£For Up, I built a box that was as tall as I could reach, slightly larger than my body, and completely filled it with clay. The box was raised onto a steel platform so I could crawl under it. I dug upwards through the clay until my entire body fit inside the box and I could reach its top with my arms stretched above my head. The final piece is a plaster cast taken from the space I dug out and shows the minimum amount of space I could occupy. The wavy surface is formed by the negative grooves from the tips of my fingers pulling the clay downwards and pushing it out of the bottom of the box. The work is black because when I was inside the clay it was completely dark. I couldnŌĆÖt see anything so this piece was made entirely by touch.ŌĆØ

ŌĆ£The process shows me something about my body or form and the end result is always a surprise. For Down, I used the same sized box and amount of clay as in Up, but dug downwards from the top. I donŌĆÖt really plan how IŌĆÖll carry out the tasks that I set myself and I thought I might dig like a dog, but discovered my body doesnŌĆÖt work like that: I had to sit in the hole I was making and scoop around myself, lowering myself feet first into this space. As I got deeper I found myself using rock climbing techniques to suspend myself inside the clay. The spiral formation emerged through the subconscious movement of working in a circular way. You can see all the impressions of my knees, feet, and elbows. I cast this form in plaster, itŌĆÖs one of the most readily available materials, historically so linked to sculpture and itŌĆÖs important to me that itŌĆÖs organic and non-toxic. The object isnŌĆÖt solid but still very heavy; itŌĆÖs installed as if it defies gravity.ŌĆØ

ŌĆ£I like thinking about physics: what would our bodies look like if time didnŌĆÖt separate our actions? I started Oh by standing in front of a wall with pencils in my hands and traced the area all around me as far as I could reach without moving my feet. The diameter of what you can touch around yourself is surprisingly spherical. I wanted to make an object that would materialise that space. I made an 8x8ŌĆÖ octagonal room with a small hole at the top that I could enter through and layered the inside with 2 tons of clay that I pushed and dragged away from myself until it recreated that sphere of reach. I then painted the interior with latex to cast the ŌĆśballoonŌĆÖ. I tried inflating it, but itŌĆÖs too heavy to hold air and I like the form as a sculptural object in itself. ItŌĆÖs like an entity or an organic mass and becomes warped by the weight of itself. I see it as a volume defined by the potential of touch.ŌĆØ

Trolley Books present a first solo exhibition for Brazilian contemporary artist Juliana Cerqueira Leite and it's a fascinating show. I admit that I was initially a little sceptical (perhaps just feeling a little jaded, or 'arted out') but this is a show that rewards the inquisitive.
Down was produced alongside another work, entitled Up. Both of these pieces were constructed using two equal, solid blocks of clay (210 cm high by 90 cm square), through which Cerqueira Leite dug a tunnel, in directions correlating to their titles. Cerqueira Leite set herself the challenge of tunnelling through the least amount of space possible, the cast of her downwards tunnel forms the content of this work.

We checked the warrenty and saw the furniture was still covered. My wife got on the phone with Harlem to ask about it and they referred us to Stainsafe. Stainsafe sent out a guy about 2-3 weeks later to look at the furniture.
He said the one chair was under warrenty but did not think the other was going to be covered because we did not notify them within 5 days of it ripping!!! What a bunch of crap! We notified them ASAP when the rips were small. In the 2 weeks it took them to get to our house, the one rip got bigger (we have 2 children) from putting it back into the recline position. My wife also told him at that time we were moving to Florida in 2 months.
Stainsafe finally sent us a letter honoring the claim of one chair but not the other. In the mean time, we moved from Illinois to Florida. They then said Harlem no longer carried that color and we would have to get a similar color. Then, in another phone conversation, they said they would re-imburse us the cost of both recliners. After several attemps in talking with Stainsafe and Harlem Furniture and giving them our new address, they still sent mail to our old address. Last week they called for a delivery appointment and my wife asked "you deliver in Florida now?" They said no, we want to deliver it to your Illinois address. I spoke with stain safe today and they said they did not have our new address!.. What the He__!
You see, I just keep getting a run around from both companies. Its a joke! My wife is fed up with them as well. It will be interesting to see what happens next. I already filled a complaint with the BBB. I also took the liberty of e-mailing Harlem Furniture the past complaints about Stansafe from this wonderful web site!

Seeking a Poverty Measure for the Next 50 Years
My print column examines the official measure of U.S. poverty, and alternatives that have sprung up in the half-century since it was first devised by Social Security Administration economist Mollie Orshansky. Since then, the official poverty measure has hardly changed.
"We ought not be too hard on the official poverty measure," said David B. Grusky, director of Stanford University's Stanford Center on Poverty and Inequality. "In its day, it was an extraordinary social innovation, and it's just that it was crafted long ago and without knowledge of how antipoverty programs might ultimately take shape."
"It was set very thoughtfully for the time," said Arloc Sherman, senior researcher at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, the liberal-leaning Washington, D.C., think tank, about the poverty line. However, "the underlying spending patterns are now very out of date."
As a result, "It is pretty much universally disliked by anyone who's spent a lot of time thinking about it," said H. Luke Shaefer, assistant professor at the University of Michigan School of Social Work, who has studied extreme poverty in the U.S.
Shawn McMahon, acting president of Wider Opportunities for Women, a Washington, D.C., advocacy group, agreed on that universal disagreement with the continued use of the official measure. "The definition of poverty has been a matter of much research and great debate over the decades, but everyone agrees the current official poverty measure does not define poverty correctly," said McMahon, whose group advocates an alternative concept of economic insecurity, which ensnares far more Americans than does official poverty, by WOW's count.
Among the problems, said Bruce D. Meyer, an economist at the University of Chicago's Harris School of Public Policy Studies, is that "the level of the poverty line is completely arbitrary. There is not a body of research that says that there is a break in family outcomes at the line."
The poverty threshold also isn't tuned for local variation in cost of living. "To use one poverty line to measure whether or not people are doing well across the country is absolutely inadequate," said Elise Gould, an economist at the Economic Policy Institute, a Washington, D.C., liberal-leaning think tank.
A 1995 report by a National Academy of Sciences panel outlined ways to update the poverty measure, and the Census Bureau adopted many of these recommendations in its 2011 introduction of the Supplemental Poverty Measure. Grusky applauded the move: "The extremely skilled staff at the Census Bureau working on this measure are real heroes of the country. I do not exaggerate."
But SPM remains experimental, and is released at least a month and a half after the official measure — which came out this past week for 2012. The next SPM is due on Oct. 30. Why this time lag? Census, essentially, pleads poverty. Congress hasn't passed a new budget since 2009, which means the agency hasn't yet received requested supplemental funds for its supplemental measure. "We haven't gotten the additional funding we would need to accelerate production of this," said Trudi Renwick, chief of poverty statistics at the Census Bureau. "We're trying to make do, and do it without additional resources." At this point, the supplemental measure is closer to ending for lack of funds, than to replacing the official poverty measure.
More than lack of funds explains the official measure's pre-eminence. It also has the advantage of being a continuous data set dating back to 1959. "As an economist, I find that very satisfying," Gould said. "That's not a small thing, when we want to think about how our country's doing."
"I don't want to ditch the official poverty measure entirely," Shaefer said, "because it gives us a benchmark going back a few decades."
Then there is the political risk involved in announcing a new, higher estimate for federal poverty rate. Several economists said an episode of the television show "West Wing," in which a fictional presidential administration grapples with a new poverty measure that would increase the count of poor people, was an accurate representation of the risks entailed.
"Unfortunately, substituting this measure for the existing one is a political decision," said Judith M. Gueron, scholar in residence and president emerita of MDRC, a New York think tank researching measures to fight poverty. "Since the poverty measure determines eligibility for benefits for many government programs, the new measure would create winners and losers."
Sheldon Danziger, the president of the Russell Sage Foundation who wrote an op-ed this week in the New York Times about the inadequacy of the official measure, foresees other problems if the supplemental measure becomes official, setting a precedent that regional cost-of-living variation should be considered in federal programs. "It might lead to legal proceedings for other government programs," Danziger said. "That is, if you establish that the poverty line varies by geography, should you do the same for taxes?"
Local governments don't face the same constraints when deciding whether to update the official measure. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's administration introduced its own poverty measure in 2008, mostly based on the NAS panel's suggestions. The city went ahead with the move even though it showed a rise in the poverty rate compared to the official measure.
"For this, Mayor Bloomberg deserves credit," McMahon said.
Danziger added, "Three cheers for Bloomberg."
Grusky said, "Hat's off." The New York City gauge "has inspired other efforts throughout the country," he added, including his research group's attempt to devise a California stat. "We are attempting to cobble together the data needed to come out with quarterly poverty measurements," starting in about six months, Grusky said. The hope is to "drum up interest in poverty with every quarterly release, much like there's currently much interest every month in the unemployment figures."
Despite the proliferation of new poverty measures within the U.S., few economists are advocating using a method common elsewhere in the world. "Most countries now use a relative poverty line — defining poverty as having an income a certain amount below [or percentage below] median income in the country," said Jane Waldfogel, professor at Columbia University's school of social work. "The U.S. is unusual in using an absolute line."
"I don't think the U.S. is ready for a relative number, such as 50% of median income," Gueron said.
Gould added, "I don't love relative poverty measures. As median income falls, poverty level falls."
"Relative measures are too European," Danziger said. "In the American context, if everyone's income doubles over a generation, everyone is better off, fewer people are in absolute poverty. The relative measure shows no change. We are smart enough to think about an absolute measure of poverty and a separate measure of inequality."

"Good value in Braunschweig"
18th August 2013, djanaka, Boise Idaho
We wanted to stay in a more central location, but the hotel was full. Ibis has always been a good choice. The only concern was that the reception area was not always manned, and if you will be coming in late, you will check yourself in through a computer located in the entry foyer.Area was very safe--and since it was located in a new and used car area, you could look for cars.
"Simple Hotel"
9th June 2011, Istanbul
Etap Braunschweig is designed as a travellers one night hotel as there is no extra comfort but simple and clean. Pricewise very attractive according to other hotels in the area. If you are looking for a cheap and clean hotel in the area of Hannover and Braunschweig, and if you have a car , you can choose this hotel.
30th January 2011, Oakham
if you simply want a clean room for the night then this hotel ticks the all boxes. The automatic (staffless out of hours) reception works fine.But not necessarily cheaper than independent hotels with more character.
"Only one night..."
15th November 2010, Sopron, Hungary
Only the location not a best...Maybe only for me - no electro tram station in nearby - (Taxi from city center 10 Euro/way)Easy and clean room for good price inside Germany... Automatic (terminal in the door) check in also possible for night arriving - when you have a advanced reservation.....
These prices may be based on different room types. Depending on the country, these prices may not include taxes, may include VAT only or may include all taxes (VAT and city tax). When prices do not include all taxes, the relevant taxes (VAT and/or city tax) will be stated in the following stages of the reservation process. The price is only guaranteed at the time of reservation.

Ran the Camp Lael 5K this morning and won the race! There was little to no competition at all, but this may be the only race I ever win in my life, so I'm counting it. The race was listed on the active.com website among others, so it isn't my fault that it wasn't well attended by runners. They were invited but few came (there were many more walkers than runners).
The course was primarily gravel and dirt roads, had some very steep inclines and consisted of 3 loops of the same course, making the hills that much worse. I finished with a time of 26:06, but I think I would now be a couple minutes faster on a more "standard" road 5k course. I dropped over 6 minutes from my time just one year ago.
Overall, it was a good but not great run. I do not have experience in leading a race (other than last years race, where I led for the first half of the race before finishing 4th) and I think I probably was a little complacent the latter part of this race, knowing that I was ahead of the next runner by a wide margin. Legs felt good, breathing was excellent, but had to deal with minor to moderate midsection pains through much of the race.
My first half marathon is in three weeks. I will not win that race and will probably not even finish in the top 2/3 of my age group, but I am looking forward to it!

Nicely done, Protometal! If you signed up and ran it, then if you come in first that's a win!
I ran easy runs Monday through Thursday, while recovering from last Saturday's marathon. Kicked it up yesterday with 8 miles of trails, then 12 road miles this morning, with tempo paces and fartlek mixed in the middle. I'll be back to a normal training schedule next week, leading up to my last 20-miler of the training program on Saturday. It's almost taper time! Woo!
Happy running, everyone!
Everyone says it's difficult to taper...I'm looking forward to it. lol

My run yesterday was soooo good...I'm a convert now to the Galloway walk/run training program...I downloaded his Ultimate 10K app to my iphone and it's so awesome...I've always been a slow steady plodder at about a 14 min/mi. Just got back into my running a year and a half ago...prior to did many runs through the 80s, 90s and early 2000s...always prided myself on 'running' those runs and also with my training but at least with the training runs I'm now convinced that Galloway's walk/run training is so much better for me. I'm 57 and my times are better and I physically feel better after my runs. Love having him coaching me all the way too. It doesn't get any better than that! Have only done the last two runs with the Galloway method but love that he tells me when to walk and when to start running again...makes it so easy.

@runslowdan - I hope your Achilles heals soon.
@Protometal - a win is a win! congratulations!
@Dreamstate - good job on your Half!
I ran my first 5K this morning. I thought I was going out nice and easy - I was quite capable of conversation - the only time I walked was to drink 1/2 a Dixie cup of water (I found out I can't drink while running - can you guess where the other 1/2 of the water went? LOL) Obviously I was going faster than I thought because I finished in 32:14. Woohoo! My training runs were all 34 to 37 minutes. Nothing like race day adrenaline. I can see why people do this. I am icing my ankle now but this too shall pass.
Haven't posted in a while...then again nothing to post...BUT today I did the 9/11 Heroes Run 5k at South Park, PA and PRd with a 27:34 taking 1:24 off my time (5/21 in AG). I ran the entire race behind a wounded marine carrying a big American flag, and his leg in a full length stablelizer...motivating for sure...so were the firemen running in full gear.
And the bonus: Kicked my friend's @$$!!!! Bummed that 3 people bailed on me though, oh well. I had a great time, great run and great company among strangers

@Debm2011 - congrats on your first 5K! Nice time! I have a hard enough time squirting water in my mouth from my water bottle. Don't know how I will do with a cup. I'm sure I will have a similar story.
Ran two miles this evening. Knee feels okay (fell on Wednesday), but I just felt too sluggish to run another mile so I walked another 1.5 miles. Hoping it was just the weather and the fact that I didn't wait long enough after dinner before my run. I plan on running Wednesday and that be my last day I run before my first 5K on Saturday. Hoping that is enough before the race. Last time I ran 3 miles was Wednesday the 7th. My goal is to finish and run the entire race. Would like to be under 35 minutes which has been my best time so far.

@Dreamstate, you're officially a half marathoner? Awesome!!! Congratulations. I'll be joining you soon, Oct. 2nd. Can hardly wait.
So, I took it pretty easy last week. I've been having some pain in my left knee and I don't want to injure myself before my first half, so I scaled back on my runs. After my PR in Monday's 10k, I only did cross training for the rest of the week and ran on the treadmill once. I ran again on Saturday with my running club and it felt effortless. I could tell my body really enjoyed that break. I was going for 3, but ended up doing 5.84 at a very comfortable pace. Then for today's long run, my running club ran the actual course of the Atlanta 13.1, which will be my first half on Oct 2nd. I usually pace myself with a girl from the group that is training for her first full in Dec. Today was her 15 mile day, but I was just going to do the 13.1 course. We ran at a really comfortable pace so I thought, what the heck, I can hang for a couple more miles. We ended up going 16.11. I never intended to run that far today and while I feel happy that I could do it, I am worried about overtraining. I don't want to hurt myself or do anything that could threaten my performance before my first half. So, while I did 16.11 and it was great, in the back of my head I keep asking, "Did I do too much?" I guess time will tell. The good thing about this, though, is that now I'm considering continuing to train after my half and go for a full early next year. I actually felt like a distance runner today and that was amazing. I used GU Chomps for the first time, had been using the gel which I was already in love with, but the chomps were freakin awesome. Consumed a pack prior to running and didn't need to refuel on gel during the run. I had lots of energy. I'm thinking I'll do the Chomps for my half and run with my fuel belt and a gel just in case. I'm planning to rest tomorrow and take either a Yoga or Pilates class to help me stretch.
Congrats to everyone on this weekend's runs.
2015 Highlights:
Haven't posted in quite a while. Struggling with injuries and haven't been able to run consistently. Then got diagnosed with exertinal asthma and early COPD. I've been having a hard time with breathing cause I start wheezing pretty bad to the point of getting dizzy and developing a pounding headache - probably from hypoxia. Oh well, this past Sat I used my inhaler immediately prior to running (plus it was 60 with low humidity) and had a fabulous run. Did a whole 5K. My phone turned off so I don't have my time, but it felt good. Maybe I've now got the rhythm down.

My long Sunday run was not good this week. I did my first mile but then my legs decided they were unhappy and really did not want to run any more. I fought back and forth with them for the next 2 miles forcing them to do some running intervals, but the final mile I gave in and let them just walk me back home . I guess lucky for me I had just read an article from Coach Jenny about accepting Bad runs as part of the whole training package so it helped me not beat myself up too badly. Thinking on it more, I probably should have eaten something before I went out. I don't usually eat before my Sunday run but my eating patterns on Saturday were not normal so now I'm thinking that's why I had such trouble.
This coming Saturday I have a 5k race, and I am telling myself it will go much better than that!

Congrats everyone else on your races!
I'm still training - Had a great 7-mile run Saturday, followed by 3 miles Sunday. My body could have run more, but I had to get home. Lately life has been cutting my runs short. I think I need to wake up earlier in the morning.

OshCat, great way to look at the bad run. We all have them and it's important to learn what you can and keep getting better. I have serious issues with carbs, I'm scared of gaining weight so I keep my intake low. However, in training for my half, I've found that carb loading the day before my long runs has helped my endurance tremendously. I don't go crazy, just one carb loaded meal that's early enough to allow my body to turn it into the energy it needs. This past Saturday, I had pancakes and they were sooooo good. Can't tell you the last time I had pancakes! Then I woke up early Sunday, had a small Greek yogurt, a cup of coffee and took my GU chomps before my long run. It all worked out great. Start experimenting with what types of foods help you perform better on your long runs and make it part of your ritual. Good luck on your 5k. You will rock it!

Take a sneak peek at the new NIST.gov and let us know what you think!
(Please note: some content may not be complete on the beta site.).
Climate science was supposed to unite peoples across ideological and national boundaries. Instead, America's two political parties are more divided over global warming than ever before — despite two decades and billions in climate science and awareness campaigns. Now, despite over a decade of fierce climate wars, liberals and conservatives are increasingly finding agreement on the need for stepped up energy innovation. Ted Nordhaus and Michael Shellenberger, authors of Break Through: From the Death of Environmentalism to the Politics of Possibility, and co-authors of Post-Partisan Power with scholars from the American Enterprise Institute and the Brookings Institution, will describe what it is about technology that has, throughout American history, historically united conservatives and liberals — and what it is about science that has divided them.
Two of the recent books by Michael Shellenberger and Ted Nordhaus will be available for review and purchase after the lecture.
Anyone outside NIST wishing to attend must be sponsored by a NIST employee and receive a visitor badge.

Milpitas Fire Depart-ment responded to a hang glider pilot trapped in trees along the hillside at Ed R. Levin County Park at 11:21 a.m. on Tuesday. Ten minutes later, the first arriving fire engine reported a hand glider and victim stuck in a tree approximately 50 feet high.
At approximately 11:45 a.m., California Highway Patrol Helicopter 30 was requested by Milpitas Fire Department to assist with the rescue of the 63-year-old male hang glider pilot who crashed into the top of a group of eucalyptus trees.
Due to the steep terrain and narrow trails, the fire department's ladder truck was unable to reach the glider pilot. The decision was made that a hoist rescue was required. H-30 responded from the Napa County Airport with a crew of three.
The helicopter landed near the scene to formulate a plan and brief the mission with all involved parties before beginning the rescue operation.
H-30, piloted by CHP Officer/Pilot Mike McAuley, hovered 150 feet above the trees, as CHP Officer/Paramedic Mark Mitchell lowered CHP Officer/Pilot James Andrews to the hang glider pilot.
While suspended by the helicopter hoist cable, in the trees and under the hang glider, Officer Andrews was able to connect a safety line to the glider pilot's harness. Officer Andrews then turned his attention to cutting away the hang glider to release the pilot. After cutting the pilot free of the kite, officers McAuley and Mitchell were able to lower Officer Andrews along with the hang glider pilot safely to the ground nearby.
In more than a decade at CHP Air Operations, each crew member said that this was one of, if not the most, difficult rescues they had ever performed.

It's been quite a ride over the past few months with all the speculation and rumors surrounding Windows Blue, but in a new showing of clumsy Windows-Blue-related job ad editing, Microsoft has now confirmed plans for the wildly successful Fresh Paint app to be enhanced for Windows Blue and brought to Windows Phone 8.
Fresh Paint, one of the top 10 apps for Windows 8, focuses on a simple, magical, and fun experience. We are the top-rated app in the Windows 8 app store in the entertainment category and one of the top-20 apps all-up. We have been prominently featured in the Windows 8 advertising campaigns; from TV to print and social media. We have been regularly recognized in the press as one of the top apps for Windows 8 with CNN naming us "Coolest App in Windows 8 Store".
In the short term, we are developing the next version of the Fresh Paint app for Windows Blue and taking it to Windows Mobile 8.
It may just be poorly worded, but it sounds like Windows Phone 8 users are going to have to wait until the next version of the Fresh Paint app is completed before it will brought to mobile.
In addition to this Windows Blue mention, a job ad confirming the existence of Windows Phone Blue — first noted by Mary Jo Foley at ZDNet — is still residing in Google's index, despite having been removed from Microsoft's site. Here's the interesting bit:
As a development lead you will hire and manage a team of top-notch developers, be personally involved in designing and coding features, and work closely with PM and Test counterparts across multiple orgs to help realize the vision of building high quality excel app for Windows Phone Blue. In partnership with the Excel MX, Data Visualization and Excel Web Services team your team will be responsible to develop a common code enabling us to build a mobile app which will (1) allow users to have a consistent experience with spreadsheets across Web, Slate and Phone end while leveraging the power of the cloud (Excel Web Services, Office Client Services, SkyDrive and O365).
Lastly, here's a new mention of Windows Blue from a Microsoft employee on LinkedIn:
Obviously, Windows Blue is happening. But what's unclear at the moment is where Windows 9 fits into this equation. At this stage, the next major revision of Windows is typically little more than whispers and wish lists; however, there's already mentions of Windows 9 coming straight from Microsoft, as well as Windows Phone 9 from employee resumes and Microsoft Gold Partners.
At this point, it seems that the answers we're getting to the questions of Windows Blue are coming with questions of their own! I'll keep digging around to see what I can find over the course of the next few months. In the mean time, are there any Fresh Paint app fans out there? I've never messed with it, personally, but it seems as though a lot of people really enjoy it. Thoughts?

Happy with purchase
every thing is okayyyyyyyy except ........the product s offering space for storing 800+ songs but how can we select our fovorite from ts bulk....then what use for this 8gb space.....ts s the one and imp drawback of ts prdct...but ts s enough
About the MP3: Its Sleek, light weighted, handy, looks good and can be carried easily. Battery Life is long and comes upto 10 to 12 hours and gets charged also very quickly. 8 GB storage is a decent space for a MP3 and specially with only audio and no display screen. Headphone are average (If you are planning to use it for long I suggest to plan to use with a better headphone, I am using a philips and the sound is awesome, even the one provided with the box is decent and can be used) And and this price I loved it. And at last I want to say snapdeal you rock, it not available in this proce anywhere (purchased in 1400 from snapdeal)
this is very use full for me while in travel .just listening music is very happy for my mind
for tracking the tracks u have to merge them, and very easy to transfer the file, i personally did upgrade the 300 but then i format it from root when i was having the low sound problem, but now its 99.96% good i am happy with that product, if possible buy a skullcandy headphone then hola!!!
it is a goop product at this price range. except the earphone they provide with this product whict is extreamly annoying and of poor quality. But if you use this with good quality headphone like sony,samsung,philips then it provide very good quality of sound. -around 6hrs of contineous battery life. -8gb is i think too much for anyone. -takes less time for charging.
Nice device...for gifting,for personal use,with lots of storage. I have purchased this Mp3 player for my brother, now I'll purchase for mine... It's so easy to use n portable
a smart buy and an awesome product for the price. all the features that were described by snapdeal were completely satisfactory. The only thing is i wish it had a display screen and chose play list options. otherwise its completely worth buying.
The playback and functions are good. Only thing I didn't like, is the 'welcome tone' that comes everytime you restart the player. Even though I deleted those files, still they are played, and initial playback takes times.
Small but powerful backup..thnx snapdeal
Every thing is good in this product.but madhura answered me wrong head phone is also provided...
Perfect delivery by snapdeal. Charging hours is hardly 10to 15 min
nice product and convenient shopping
Earbard so bad quality
Repeat Mode is there, but it is not for a single song , entire repeat mode and shufffle mode are available. Good Stuff
Please refer to the music setting for this.
Yes you can play music through AUX input
If your Car stereo supports Aux In ... then you can use a Aux cable to connect to that.
No it does not have recording feature.

- Creating and managing expressions
- Linking together different parameters
- Randomizing a layer's movement
- Looping an animation
- Controlling multiple layers from a single source
Skill Level Intermediate
In the previous movie, we showed you how to write a Wiggle expression for virtually any parameter inside After Effects and tantalized you with the various wiggle animation presets to put a form of user interface onto the Wiggle expression. Next, I'd like to show you how you can create your own user interface for expressions. To do that, let's look a different example. Go back to the Project panel and this time open up 06-Effects*starter. I am going to press 0 on numeric keypad to RAM Preview, and what we have here is some text that's being twisted in a random wiggly fashion.
To see what's going on, we'll select that text layer and type EE, two Es in quick succession, to reveal any expressions applied to that layer. Indeed, I see that wiggle has been applied to the Angle expression for the Twirl Effect. I'll go ahead and press F3, just to open this up in the Effects Control panel. Now that you know how wiggle works, you see we are wiggling at three times a second, with an amount that can range as far as plus or minus 60 degrees. Well, frankly, this looked a bit manic, and I probably prefer something less than that.
You can either keep editing these numbers and RAM Previewing till you get something you like, or you can add a user interface onto this. To do that, we'll set this text layer underwater and apply Effect > Expression Controls > Slider. Expression controls are very special effects that do not render. They don't change any pixels. They just provide raw user interface elements that you can then use to control expressions. In addition to this Slider control, there is Point, which is X and Y parameters; layer, where you get to stick different layers from a pop-up; a color swatch, and we'll play with that in the next movie; Checkbox turn things on and off; Angle Controls, might be very useful for the Twirl Angle here; and 3D point control, that was added in After Effects CS5.5 to give you X, Y, and Z parameters as the controller.
But anyway, first I want to add a Slider control. I am going to drag this above Twirl so that the thing I really want to edit is at the very top of my Effects stack. I am going to rename it. I'll select the name, press Return, and change its name to Wiggle Speed. Secondly, I'll go to Effect > Expression Controls, and this time add an Angle Control. I will drag it up, make sure its name is selected, press Return and type "Wiggle Amount," because in this case, I'll be using an angle to control the Twirl amount in this example, and Return.
To use the handy pick whip to connect expressions, you need to have all the parameters you want to work with exposed. We already have the wiggle expression for Twirl Angle exposed. I can twirl open Wiggle Amount and Wiggle Speed down here in the Timeline panel. And by the way, you can also drag pick whips directly to parameters in the Effects Control panel. Let's wire these up. I'll go to my Wiggle expression, carefully select the number 3, or just backspace over it to delete it, making sure my cursor is before the comma in the place of the 'how fast' parameter for wiggle. Then use the pick whip to connect it to the slider for Wiggle Speed.
Don't try to connect it to the effect name. That won't work. Drag it onto slider, you'll see it highlight, then release the mouse. You will see now that an effect called Wiggle Speed has a slider, and that's what we are going to use for this first parameter. Now select that 60 for the wiggle amount, use the pick whip again, and either drag to the Angle parameter down here in the Timeline panel, or if you forgot to twirl it open, you can drag it up to this Angle control in the Effects Control panel. Release and now you can see that After Effects has typed in that code for you automatically.
Press Enter on the numeric keypad, and now my edits have been accepted. Initially, there is going to be no twirl, and the reason is is my default Wiggle Speed and Wiggle Amount are both zero. But if we go ahead and scrub the Wiggle Speed up to something like maybe one wiggle a second, then change the Wiggle Angle to something like, well, maybe something around 50 or so degrees, you will see how the comps panels automatically updated to show this wiggle getting these brand-new parameters from the user interface we created.
0 to RAM Preview, and that's a slightly less manic version of this wiggle. Now in this case the slider wants the increment in whole units of one at a time, and that's really quite a bit, in terms of Wiggle Speed. You can go ahead and use some simple math to control the range of your user interface items, such as slider. For example, say that I want a value of 100 to equal one wiggle a second, just to give myself final control. I can go down to this expression, right after the effect Wiggle Speed slider, put the cursor in the right place before the comma, and say divided by 100.
You don't need to put in the spaces. I just did that for clarity to make the expression easier to read. Press Enter and now that Wiggle Speed has been greatly reduced. If I was to RAM Preview, you will see we have the very slow Wiggle Speed, but if I scrub this back up again to maybe something just under 100 and RAM Preview, now I have finer control over this Wiggle expression. There's one more thing you can do now that you have a user interface. Notice that you have animation stopwatches right next to each of these parameters in the Timeline panel, as well the Effects Control panel.
That means you can keyframe these values and in turn keyframe what your expression is doing. For example, say I wanted this to start off sedate and then start wiggling more as time goes on. I can go back to the Wiggle Amount, turn on keyframing, set an initial value of zero, go later on time, like maybe two seconds, crank up to something really intense like 90 degrees of twirl--note that doesn't mean it's going to twirl 90 degrees, just that's the maximum it can go plus or minus--then go to 3 seconds, add another keyframe, so we are going to hold that between two and three, extend this out, and then at the very end of my timeline, let's go back down to 0 degrees of wiggle. RAM Preview.
You can see how it ramps up amount, then ramps back down again. This is particularly handy if you're adding wiggle to the position of a layer, or perhaps the 3D camera in After Effects, just to give a little bit of a handheld or shaky-cam effect. You don't necessarily want the camera shaking all the time, maybe just during a movement, so you can go ahead and keyframe how much wiggle is being added into a layer's movement over time. The Graph Editor can be your friend in figuring out what things like this are doing. I'll enable the Graph Editor.
You can see my selected parameter, Wiggle Amount, is ramping up and ramping down. I'll select the actual Twirl Angle, turn on the Post-Expression Graph, and now I can see how my twirl is varying over time, thanks to the Wiggle expression being controlled by these Expression controls. Last thing I want to throw in, these are effects. You can save effects as animation presets. So once you've created an expression you particularly like, you can select the effect that has the expression, Shift+Click your user interface for it to select those elements as well, and go ahead and save them as your own animation preset.

AUGUSTA, Ga.---Thousands are expected to gather at the James Brown Arena for the 186th session of the Georgia Baptist Convention. This year's theme is "Back to the Basics."
Bobby and Ruth Henton have been coming to the Georgia Baptist Convention for over 40 years. Some of the highlights include music, ministry, and even a little shopping. But it's not all fun and games.
Mr. Henton says, "This is a democratic convention. You get the chance to vote on things. They don't just tell you this is the way it's gonna be."
This year the Hentons will vote on whether to approve a co-operative program budget of 52.3 million dollars in an attempt to get a message out. "We're hoping to reach our state which is about 70% of our state is unchurched and we're hoping that we can penetrate that with a gospel message."
2000 people will fill the seats. The expected impact to the city is over $200,000.
"Certainly, hopefully, while people are out and about they're sharing the message of Christ with others as they're eating a meal, at their hotel with the workers there, and sharing the good news about the gospel while they're out and about," says Eddy Oliver.
The Georgia Baptist Convention is just one of several events in Augusta this week. The Convention and Visitors Bureau says it could all together generate over $1.5 million dollars.
Startling numbers? Ruth's not surprised. "You know you try and stand alone, you don't do a good job, but if you band together you can see accomplishments done."
As one more year draws to a close the Hentons are already looking forward to the next time...."As long as we're able we're going to come."
