- The Doctor Is In: 5 Tips To A Healthy Family Vacation
Well, don't think of it as a belated Christmas posting, thinking of it as a plan to get ahead for next year. I had a lot of time to think recently on our VERY long drive from Phoenix, Arizona to Sacramento, California. Our Christmas plans had been, quite frankly, spur of the moment due to lots of life issues, and before embarking on our trip we spent some time with our adopted family who have a tradition all their very own.
It was after that experience, and during our long drive up the California coast that I realized that not only do I have pretty cool friends, but those friends have equally unique traditions. So in no particular order, here are some traditions from my own family, and some from my friends.

Fantasy Spotlight: MIN at STL
Which Wild player should shine in your fantasy lineup?
Tuesday, 03.29.2011 / 8:00 AM CT / Preview
By Carly Peters - Media Relations Coordinator
Fantasy Spotlight: Mikko Koivu
After the Wild lost to the Blues Saturday evening, Mikko Koivu was incredibly focused when talking with the media. He used the word "serious" over and over, reiterating how much the recent slide has bothered the players and taken a stab at their pride.
The Wild get another shot at the Blues in St. Louis tonight, with a chance to win the series. And you have to think Kaptain Koivu will do all he can to get the Wild back in the win column.
Koivu even put up big numbers against the Blues Saturday and he's likely to do it again tonight. He had three assists in the last contest and has five tallies in the series this season. In the past 10 games against the Blues, he has 11 points (1-10=11).
The 28-year-old is T-6th in the NHL in scoring with eight points (2-6=8) since returning from a broken finger on March 14. He has totaled three multi-point games in the six contests since.

A picture of suburban tranquility today, Dave Held's always known his Okemos Road backyard would be developed eventually.
"We were hoping it would be compatible with the Briarwood neighborhood," Held says.
The plan Meridian Township has ok'd, Held says, is not compatible.
It's too big, too loud, and out of sync with the homes around it. So Held and his neighbors are taking their questions to the courts.
"Is it's proper in a residential zoned neighborhood to have a facility of that type," he asks.
Like the lawsuit over the Okemos road construction project, they're questioning the township's choice and the way that choice was made. Held believes had the government boards paid more attention to neighborhood concerns, both situations could be resolved more easily.
Still, he says he harbors no illusions they'll stop the project, and so in the end, the 46-unit one-story building will likely be built into the hillside at Tamarack and Okemos Rds. The township says they'll do what they can suit the neighborhoods needs.
"We do listen, we do want to make this as appealing as we can to the neighbors," says Township Supervisor Sue Mcgillicuddy. She believes they're asked for appropriate restrictions to suit the project to the neighborhood. Those include a 75-foot wide perimeter from the nearby homes, lighting rules, and promises there won't be offensive kitchen odors or excessive staff traffic.
"We try to do things that are good for our community, and we think a place for mom and dad to live is good for our community," McGillicuddy says.

Inland Empire gas price drops for sixth consecutive day
Average gas price drops to $3.97 per gallon
The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in the Inland Empire dropped today for the sixth consecutive day, falling a half-cent to $3.973.
The average price in Riverside and San Bernardino counties is 3.8 cents less than one week ago and 14.7 cents lower than one year ago but 13.9 cents more than one month ago, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service.
The falling prices follow a 10-day streak of rising prices.
The dropping prices are the result of a resolution of supply issues that had caused the latest increases in prices, according to Marie Montgomery of the Automobile Club of Southern California.

Knits for Babies and Toddlers
by Fiona McTague
Buy it Now at Amazon.com
There's a lovely new children's knitting book on the market from Rowan designer Fiona McTague. If you're looking for a wide selection of patterns for babies and toddlers, from beginner to expert level, this may be for you.Beautiful Inside
The first thing to note about the book is its sheer beauty. Pages are filled with high-quality images of the knitted garments both on models and alone, plus colorful drawings that add a playful feel.
You'll find more than 25 designs, including pullovers, cardigans, jackets, hats, booties, blankets, and a few adorable stuffed animals.
McTague's patterns are clear and well-illustrated with color charts where necessary. She doesn't include schematics of the finished pieces, but she gives very clear close-up photos of the finished objects.
I've already mentioned that McTague is a Rowan designer. As expected, the patterns in this book call for both Rowan and Jaeger yarns.
Most pattern books include a small section that reviews basic knitting stitches and techniques. Normally I just gloss over them, but the instructions in this book were so beautifully illustrated that I found myself reading every single one.
Overall, I like this book. It's a good mix of fine-gauge, well-sculpted patterns and very easy patterns for rank beginners.

Tobacco Litigation: A Lernaean Hydra
"For Big Tobacco, litigation is a many-headed beast," writes Dan Ackman in WSJ.com's The Big Case feature (click here). "When its lawyers slay one, another rises."
Ackman examines a class action being brought in federal court in Brooklyn by smokers of so-called light cigarettes. The case, Schwab v. Philip Morris, is before Judge Jack Weinstein, who has presided over numerous big cases, including breast implant and asbestos litigations. "Along the way," writes Ackman, "Judge Weinstein has become a polarizing figure" in the mass torts arena. One of the controversies at issue here is whether Judge Weinstein will allow a "fluid recovery" class action, where the class is certified as a whole and damages are distributed according to a formula after overall liability is determined.
The plaintiffs are being represented by Paul Gallagher and Michael Hausfeld of Washington, D.C.-based Cohen, Milstein, Hausfeld & Toll. The tobacco companies are represented by at least eight national law firms, led by Theodore Grossman of Jones Day in Cleveland and David Bernick of Kirkland & Ellis in Chicago.

(blog) Thoughts on OpenTK documentationPosted Monday, 13 December, 2010 - 17:34 by the Fiddler
This question makes me think. Do you consider OpenTK well-documented? What parts do you consider lacking? What would you like to see?
I don't really know where OpenTK is standing in the documentation issue. According to Ohloh, 30% of all source code lines are comments, which is higher than average (22%). Considering OpenTK contains around 850000 lines of code, this number is nothing to laugh at. (Yeah, the numbers are probably overblown, no I have no idea how they are calculated :-).)
OpenTK is built on the premise that you are using an IDE with code-completion and documentation tooltips. Used on its own, it is actually more complex than straight OpenGL or OpenAL. This additional complexity is spent on type-safety and function overloads that smooth the differences between .Net and native code, which is a major win when using a .Net IDE like Visual Studio, MonoDevelop or SharpDevelop.
Is OpenTK usable without an IDE? Certainly, but the experience will not be as smooth. Strongly-typed parameters and function overloads won't help if you cannot discover them in the first place. So if gedit and make are your cup of tea then OpenTK might not be the optimal choice (but do check whether your editor supports .Net code completion - many do!)
Of course this doesn't say anything about the quality or usefulness of the documentation, so if you have any thoughts or suggestions I'd love to hear them.
- the Fiddler's blog
- Login or register to post comments
My 2 Cents: I am using Monodevelop and code completion has worked for me flawlessly. Can't say much about coding without IDE, and I wonder whether it would be worth "redocumenting" the project. However, I have quite a fixed opinion about non-IDE programming - in my opinion its neglecting all that we have got since the 80's. Modeling, painting, writing, web development, map editing for games, music/video editing, file management: they all have made big steps in handling the complexity by having their own project file formats and quite advanced GUIs. For programming its syntax highlighting, code completion and maybe a fancy tree view for classes, that tries to make you forget that you are writing ASCII files. Insert a descriptive picture? ASCII art, please. Have a dedicated way for comments, like text boxes and different fonts/colors/aligning? No way. Some sort of data flow/logic illustration? Dive into some obscure UML tools, buddy!
Ehm... I am getting off topic but it bugs me to no end that the underlying file format of even largest projects are still nothing but .txt files. So I would appreciate OpenTK to making use of the little that we have won so far and continue having easy to grasp names and descriptions in code completion.
By and large, I find that the intellisense and matching online API docs are quite thorough, at least as thorough as most projects of this type.
However, API docs are only half of the picture, being used primarily within the IDE, while coding. For learning OpenTK and planning out one's project, the conceptual documentation is just as important, and there we have some definite lacks, such as the input documentation ( http://www.opentk.com/doc/input )...
Tristam MacDonald - swiftcoding
I find that the OpenTK documentation has fulfilled all my needs. However, I was quite familiar with OpenGL (both from C++ and the old .NET Tao bindings) so I didn't really learn to use OpenGL through OpenTK. The API feels and behaves like I'm expecting it. Really, I find that the library has a great overall quality. Like boogiwoogie, I wouldn't consider coding out of an IDE so the code completion-centricness is a non-issue to me.
Please keep the opinions coming, even if you simply agree with others. Right now we cannot tell if it's 1 out of 1000 who has troubles with documentation or 1 out of 10. If you do not voice your opinions we have to assume that everyone who doesn't say a word has nothing to complain about and is happy with how things are.
Starting a poll may be an option, but that'd limit your freedom of speech to a multiple choice dialogue...
I have never used OpenTK without an IDE. I will never try to implement code without an IDE, from scripting to compiled languages.
My mentor is my experience, and it says that the best software is that one, that is well written and implemented. Instead of adding any bloat for memorizing any implementation details, it's better to focus on the creative and productive side and keep the big picture in mind. I tried hardcore notepad programming in work as a starter and it was very exhausting, so much brainpower lost for nothing, I do not recommend it. :)
I would not recommend using it without IDE and Intellisense. When I started using OpenTK, setting the texture and lighting parameters may not be intuitive even with Intellisense.
E.g. the 3rd parameters, the intellisense suggest float, int, float* and int*)
GL.TexParameter(TextureTarget.Texture2D, TextureParameterName.TextureMagFilter,
But the right answer is
(a)Supplement the existing documents with footnotes and side Tips.
That are frequently asked questions from the users in forum
(b) Frequently request codes.
There are frequently discussed topics in the forum that sometimes do not arrive at the conclusion or "Official" ways to do it.
e..g How to draw certain geometries e.g. Cylinder. Many replied that it is very easy, with some psuedo codes and extension from drawing spheres.
In the end, after searching codes, I have to followed others and use glut32.dll
Basic Geometry is needed especially deal with Physics. The ".NET" physics bullet has only one example on OpenTK. One main challenge for beginner-Intermediate programmers to extend the OpenTK example is the lack of "Official OpenTK geometry methods for cylinder and other geometries that will be useful for physics engine".
Another example is TextPrinter, which is depreciated, so , what is the "OpenTK" official way to draw either 2D and 3D string on the screen.
(c) So, in my view, the way to improve documentation is have a list of wishlist on the areas of documentation that needed to be done.
e.g. what I discussed in (b).
(d) One more section on Documentation
What one should do when one is porting OpenGL codes that are based on other libraries e.g.
In SUmmary: OpenTK is the BEST LIB to help beginner to get into OpenGL using dotNET platform. It should continue to improve, not only to keep up with the new features, but to help the transition from the abundant example codes based on c++ openGL to OpenTK.
1) I have the impression that OpenTK is not here to "teach" OpenG/A/CL and it probably is the right thing to do.
2) I don't see why someone would NOT use an IDE. Even if they did, why should such an edge case have any impact on the documentation?
LikeTK: There are a lot of areas that need improvements, no questions about that. Unfortunately, OpenTK lacks manpower. TextPrinter was deprecated because no one was/is willing to take over. Same goes for the basic geometry or a collection of tools built on top of OpenTK (search OpenTK Framework). So, given that almost everyone ending up here needs to *USE* OpenTK for whatever they're working on, the real question is simple: how many of them would temporarily put aside (or even drop) their own project and join OpenTK in order to push things forward?

I try to create an engine which may(not 100% sure) said your point above. I think that OpenTK should not be like XNA, but more like SlimDX(which it is). Engines an frameworks should created separately. It's name is MaxDream.
The global idea is that it does not limit the developer, as describe in the "About" page.
It still lacks of documentions and is at GL 1.1 level(not completly yet), but I hope it may interest you all and ask for your help.
I have been relatively happy with the documentation so far, dispute my general lack of knowledge of OpenGL. The one thing that threw me for a loop was the OpenTK.Compute section of the online documentation. The homepage describes OpenTK as having bindings for OpenCL, but clicking on the link to that section of the docs results in a page containing the line "[Describe the OpenTK.Compute namespace]" and nothing else. It would be nice to at least have a message describing the status of that feature, even if just mentioning it is not finished yet or providing a link to Cloo. The empty page is just confusing.
You are right, added a link to Cloo.

If Kentucky Republicans get their way, it's bailout time for the corporate empire yet again!
Class warfare has loomed large in the current session of the Kentucky legislature. Our Legislative Crap-Up of late has included nasty right-wing bills that would revoke pensions of hard-working public employees, and effectively bar the poor from living in Kentucky unless they pass a drug test.
Now a bill by State Rep. Bill Farmer (R-Lexington) would not only expand the sales tax to services but actually increase it from 6% to 7%. This same bill would also abolish Kentucky taxes on corporations.
Another job creation bill! Wait, it isn't. So where's the jobs bills the GOP promised? In the toilet?
Let's get this straight: Bill Farmer wants to increase taxes on Kentucky families so he can pay for getting rid of taxes on big corporations. Yes, I saw it too. This is actually a bailout for Big Business paid for by hard-working Kentuckians.
Meanwhile, a different bill - which would do the opposite of Farmer's bill by cutting most taxes for you and making corporations pay up for once - has almost no chance of passage. This despite the fact that it would net the state an estimated $480,000,000 in additional revenue.
The war on the working poor guides the Kentucky General Assembly nearly as much as it did the 104th Reich. Every few years, right-wingers take giant leaps towards starving the poor, but they never get it out of their system.

Best tattoo ever
Who is this guy and is he taken? :heart:
Oh wait.. I'M taken. ;)
:shock: That can be your reward for quitting smoking!!! :roflhard:
1 Attachment(s)
WEll...as long as tats are being displayed; here's one of mine...my left foot ;)
Edit FYI..u can no longer see where 'flying to knit' has worn off (my son [tat artist] tells me that's normal with putting socks & shoes on & off, wear & tear on the skin ;) )
Sil..I think you picked the wrong soulmate!! :roflhard:
Funny how putting a skull into a picture can so dramatically change the vibe. :lol:
:roflhard: Where on earth did you find that, Silver??!!
LOL A friend emailed it to me. I think it's awesome on him, but can't help but envision it on an 80 year old gramma.
That would ROCK. :thumbsup:
Gee, ya'll! I'm almost 56 years old, and I've always secretly wanted a tattoo!! My husband thinks they are "not for ladies!" Guess I won't be getting one, but when we were at Nag's Head,N.C. for a wedding the other week, a girl there (well she was 23) had the coolest tattoo right in the small of her back where you could see it if she wore a crop top and of course she did every chance she got, especially the night of the rehearsal, and after the wedding on the beach. It wasn't just a "delicate, ladylike tatoo, either--it was a lot like the one on your avatar, Silver!! SOOO cool! She said it took 5 hours and cost her $350.00, but I really thought it was a cool thing. She's studying to be a nurse...but boy that girl cannot hold her liquor!! She ended up tossing her cookies (after drinking rum the night before and beer) at the rehearsal party!! Then she passed out in her boyfriend's truck, and both of them had to be in the wedding the next day!! Needless to say, they were both wearing sunglasses at , ah, in the wedding! Oh well, look at the knitting grandma who wants a tattoo. HAHA! :blush: Silly me. :oops:
I never ever...ever thought I would get a tattoo. I guess I was going through a mid life crisis. LOL.
I got mine on July 21st 2003 on the way home from a weeks vacation.
It was one of the best things I ever did.
Here it is:
Love it, Susie :D !!
LOL, got my 1st one in 1999 ;)

JAPAN - The death toll in japan climbed Monday, including at least one American, as efforts to stabilize a crippled nuclear plant continue.
A Virginia family announced its daughter, a teacher in Japan, was confirmed among the dead.
Cable is being laid to reconnect electricity to cool troubled reactors, but amid reports things may be stabilizing are reminders the situation is not yet under control. Smoke rose from two of the reactors, and workers had to be temporarily evacuated. "We're not out of the woods yet and some serious radiation releases can still happen if the Japanese are not careful." said David Albright, President of the Isis Nuclear Research Group.
Some drinking water near the plant has tested positive for radioactive materials. Shipments of milk and spinach produced near the crippled plant were stopped after they showed trace radiation. Experts say not enough to cause health concerns, but feeding fears among Japanese consumers.
Monday the E.P.A. tweeted American radiation monitors show fluctuations far below levels of concern. At a meeting near Washington the Nuclear Regulatory Commission reported containment at the Japanese reactors appears intact, and that nuclear plants here remain safe. "We have a high degree of confidence that the 104 currently operating reactors there's an adequate basis to assure adequate protection," remarked Bill Borchardt the N.R.C. operations executive director. But at President Obama's request, the commission is preparing a comprehensive safety review of all U.S. plants and their ability to cope with what was once unthinkable disaster.
The head of the United Nations nuclear agency said the crisis in Japan has already exposed weaknesses around the world as he urged countries to change their emergency responses.

How Behavio's smart metadata could help verify amateur news photos
By Garrett Goodman
Technology from the Knight News Challenge winner Behavio could provide valuable insight to journalists when fact-checking user-generated content.
This Monday six winners were announced for the latest Knight News Challenge, which focused on the topic of networks. One of the winners rewarded $355,000 was an open-sourced Android platform called Behavio, which "turns phones into smart sensors of people's behaviors and surroundings."
The technology, which emerged from founder Nadav Aharony's (@nadavaha) project at MIT Media Lab, proposes to create a software development kit for apps that would allow individuals to explore data about their lives, by tracking their activity through the multiple sensors now present on most Android smartphones.

|Development of a Hazard-Based Method for Evaluating the Fire Safety of Passenger Trains (NISTIR 6588)
|October 14, 2001
|The fire safety of U.S. passenger rail trains currently is addressed through small-scale flammability and smoke emission tests and performance criteria promulgated by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). The FRA approach relies heavily on test methods applied to the primary combustible materials of rail vehicle components. As building fire safety regulations move toward performance codes, there has been interest in the application of fire hazard assessment to rail vehicles using modeling techniques. Accordingly, with FRA funding, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (Volpe Center) have been working on such an alternative approach. This effort included a systematic study of the fire performance characteristics of current rail car materials. First, the heat release and smoke production of actual materials in use were characterized in the Cone Calorimeter. Next, full-scale assembly tests of components such as seats and interior panels constructed of these same materials were conducted in a furniture calorimeter. Full-scale tests of rail cars incorporating the tested components are planned. The predictive accuracy of fire hazard modeling techniques will be assessed against the full-scale test results and the model's utility in evaluating alternative fire safety improvements, such as automatic suppression or smoke exhaust will be demonstrated. The paper provides an overview of five years of work and the findings to date. It is expected that this work could lead to Ihe recognition of fire hazard-based methods as an alternative the current prescriptive requirements.

USA, 2014, 90 Minute Running Time
One Night Only!
Tuesday, June 10th at 7:30pm
Attend this screening for a chance to win passes to the Rocky Mountain Regional Rodeo run by the International Gay Rodeo Association, July 11th - 13th.
An astutely crafted drama set in the free-spirited San Francisco of 1985, Test lovingly portrays this exciting and harrowing era as young Frankie (dancer Scott Marlowe in a breakout acting debut) confronts the challenges of being an understudy in a modern dance company where he's taunted to "dance like a man!" Frankie embarks on a budding relationship with hunky Todd (Matthew Risch), a veteran dancer in the same company and the bad boy to Frankie's naiveté.
As Frankie and Todd's friendship deepens, they navigate a world of risk — it's the early years of the epidemic — but also a world of hope, humor, visual beauty and musical relief. The captivating dance sequences were especially choreographed for the film by acclaimed U.S. choreographer Sidra Bell. The film's vibrant soundtrack includes work by 80s icons Jimmy Somerville (Bronski Beat), Klaus Nomi, Romeo Void, Laurie Anderson, Martha & the Muffins, Cocteau Twins and Sylvester.

For next friday I cant believe I am being left a whole 13 days to go over!! I dont know whether to laugh or cry, feel abit numb tbh.
On the brightside I had a sweep, she turned my cervix around, 1.5cm dialated so she said she was able to get in an have a sweep around haha!! I did ask about using epo to thin my cervix an she said not to

Ahh at least your sweep was a bit more successful let's hope that'll kick start something within the next 48hrs.
As for the epo..I don't think they are really meant to 'recommend' or 'advise' stuff like that. Even all the sites say "it's not medically proven" lol

wow 13 days! I hope your hospital isnt as bad as my local one, as they have been so busy, that every one I know that has been booked in for induction has been sent away, but ended up going into labour naturally!
my friend went in at midday, was examined and told to go home as they had no beds, phoned at 5pm, and 8pm, then had him at 5:20am! 12 days over.

i don't know what you mean by "more native". in slack, you'd install the
same (or a similar[1]) set of programs to do the same thing.
note, btw, that mutt has pop3 support, and the latest development version
even has smtp support. i don't know if mutt is able to filter messages when
downloading them through pop, though.
[1] i prefer msmtp, and since i use imap i have no use for fetchmail and

The Turnaround Tracker What's this?
The Turnaround TrackerWhat's this?
Amanda's story
My husband and I have a household income of $30,000 a year. We were at rock bottom when we found Dave Ramsey in January of 2012. All of our credit cards were maxed out and we had a few dollars to our name. Then we found out we were expecting our first baby. Seven months later, we have paid off over $13,000 in debt and have $1,400 in the bank - And couldn't be more ready for our little girl! We are so grateful Dave teaches the baby steps! Last month alone, we put $300 into fixing his car, then two weeks later, turned around and drop $600 on mine! Our $1,000 emergency fund is now fully refunded and we paid July's bills BEFORE July even started. If it weren't for FPU and Dave, we would be in a world of hurt. FPU and The Total Money Makeover has given us so much motivation. Not to mention the opportunity to meet some really great people. Our lives have changed so much in the past few months and we could not be happier! Amanda, Age 22 Brett, Age 24

You've Come the Wrong Way, Baby
Xerox CEO Anne Mulcahy says more women won't be chosen to head companies until they're given the high-impact jobs that matter
Anne Mulcahy, chairman and CEO of Xerox (XRX ), yearns for the day when the hiring or firing of a female CEO isn't a big story. She would love to read a description of her that doesn't automatically point out that she's a woman. Yet Mulcahy is also acutely aware that she's in a distinct minority, one of only nine women leading the country's largest 500 corporations (see BW Online, 3/25/05, "The Glass Ceiling's Iron Girders").
Mulcahy spoke with BusinessWeek Senior Writer Diane Brady at the 2005 Catalyst Awards Dinner, which Mulcahy chaired on Mar. 24, about the challenges still facing women in the workplace. Following are edited excerpts:
Q: Why are you drawn to an organization that promotes women, especially when -- as a CEO -- you don't want to be defined by that?
A:My first priority is to lead Xerox, but I also feel a responsibility to have an impact as it relates to the advancement of women. There's a reason why there are only a handful of us, so I think we ought to be addressing the issues behind that. I would welcome the time when being a woman in a senior role is not news.
Q: What do you think are the issues?
A:It's all about the pipeline and giving women the right experiences to get into top jobs. It's about putting them in high-impact [profit-and-loss] jobs so that they're positioned for advancement. Far too often, women get sidelined to jobs that don't give them the experiences required to get ahead (see BW Online, 2/11/05, "Fiorina's Lesson for Female CEOs"). Another factor is that the vast majority of decision makers are still men. That makes it more challenging to advance. People do make decisions around their comfort level. That's still the reality of American business today.
Q: Do you see improvements?
A:It's getting better. You go to the second or third level of many organizations, and you see a lot more women. I see more women getting into high-impact positions. They understand what's needed to get ahead. That's the future, to make sure that women are ready to take on top executive roles.
Q: When someone like Carly Fiorina of Hewlett-Packard (HPQ ) is let go, it's seen as emblematic of women in general.
A:It doesn't seem fair to me, but it's a testament to the fact that it's still rare to see a woman in that role. The goal is to get enough women in roles that it's not a big story.
Q: How is Xerox doing in advancing women?
A:We have great representation, but we [at Xerox] have tried to keep a low profile. We don't want to declare victory. The goals have to be more ambitious, and we have a lot more to do. We're better than most, I think, but we're not good enough.
Q: What are the challenges you face?
A:It's similar to the challenges that other companies face. We have more than enough talented women out there to create balanced executive staffs. But it doesn't happen naturally. You have to set the objective and work toward it. You have to make it a priority, or it doesn't happen.
Q: People talk a lot about the need for flex-time, day care, and other perks aimed at women in the workplace. Does that stuff really matter?
A:It's just one of many enablers required to make significant progress in the workplace. I wouldn't want to get distracted with suggesting those things are the answer. You still have to give people the opportunity to get the right experience. That's how you get ahead.
Q: What has been most helpful in your career?
A:I began in sales, so I started -- right from the beginning -- in an area with quantitative goals and [intense] competition. Having easily measurable results was hugely helpful. I stayed on that track -- everything was black and white. You either succeeded or you didn't.

cork art
Despite the typically tacky fate, I understand and share the mutual desire to use these little barriers in creative ways. I like the color, the aesthetic, and the fact that it's the only thing separating me from that scrumptious nectar within. Hopefully you'll agree that we used cork in a way that doesn't rouse your gag reflex.
We started this project because we wanted something interesting behind the dart board. Because it ended up looking pretty sweet and it would have required every cork under the Tuscan sun to cover our intended area, we decided to stop at this size and hang it in the dining room.
This took more corks that we anticipated. Thanks goes out to our fellow wine-drinking friends for the supplemental art supply. Of particular note is our roommates parental units, the often drunk Greg and Carol of Vermont who shipped in a box full! Other materials: plywood, mastic, construction adhesive, polyurethane and a few picture hanging supplies.
Initially I used some leftover mastic (from the kitchen backsplash) and just pressed each cork in like a tile. I went completely random, which provided a nice mix of colors and height.
The mastic worked okay, but construction adhesive proved vital for completing the edges and reinforcing loose corks throughout the center area. For the edges I allowed the corks to dictate the somewhat organic lines and tried to keep thought OUT of the process (a gift in which I excel).
Once everything was securely in place, about ten coats of leftover glossy polyurethane (from the floors) was applied over the course of a few weeks using a paint brush.

This is so cool! I drink wine like it's my last day on earth, so this is something I can do with all the corks. Right now we are writing the date on the side when we open the bottle, maybe those could be around the edges....thanks for sharing!

Wow that's great. I don't think I have nearly enough corks to pull something like that off though.

Are all of the corks you used real? or are some of them synthetic? It's hard to tell by looking at the picture and I would love to make one of my own :)

They're all real wine-stopping devices... although, some of them are not cork but rather a plastic synthetic material that many wineries use.

Thanks, Unknown - I don't know the exact count, but it took way more than I ever thought it would! I had some shipped in from friends.
Also, it is quite heavy, but mostly because I used a scrap plywood piece I already had that was 3/4" thick - I'd think you could get the same effect with a thinner, lighter base.

Thanks so much for your input on the number of corks and using lighter plywood!

I noticed a couple of corks with colored wax.. please forgive this question, but I love those too... Where did you get those from?
- February 13, 2012 at 3:35 PM
- Unknown said...
I love the art. What did you use on the back of the plywood to hang the piece of art?
- February 29, 2012 at 11:56 AM
- Jon said...
The hardware on the back is just some heavy duty picture hanging hardware. You can find this at many stores.

Great idea!! I just finished my version of this and it was so easy to do and looks great! I used contrustion adhesive as well, but for the entire thing, and it worked wonderfully. I used a 2'x2' 1/4'' width plywood as the base, and it took around 800 corks. I got a spray clear glaze from the local craft store for a glossy finish.
Thanks again, this is BEAUTIFUL!!
- September 16, 2012 at 1:43 PM
Can't wait to do this project because I have so many corks it's silly. I think that I'll be skipping the gloss though. Personally I think it takes away from the piece of art. It's way too shiny.
- October 22, 2012 at 9:10 PM
I probably have double the number of corks in this project...have saved them for YEARS, knowing the perfect project would eventually surface. This might be it!! The sealant is a good idea, holds it all together and makes cleaning it very easy - but a satin finish would be less distracting.
- October 23, 2012 at 7:55 PM
I like the shiny finish.

This is awesome. Thanks for sharing! I think I might just start a board and have it as an ongoing project. Kind of like a reward for every time I finish a bottle of wine ;).
- February 18, 2013 at 1:21 PM
I was wondering how did you finish the side?
- February 26, 2013 at 1:15 AM
It looks fantastic! Beautifully balanced. I was just wondering, how do you hide the plywood board?

LOVE this, and am in the process of collecting corks for my own. A suggestion for anyone saving up - I recently had dinner at a winery, and when I asked if they had any corks laying around, the bartender handed over a box full!

What type of glue was used for the corks around the edges?
- July 14, 2013 at 11:22 AM
Can I ask you how you hung this on the wall? We just made one, but used a particle board (bad idea!).... and have no idea how to attach it to the wall.
- July 27, 2013 at 12:08 AM
I want to begin this project this week. To make sure that I understand, what did you use to glue the corks on? And the mastic and adhesive is what you used to glue it? Am I getting this right? TIA.

Is that one on the wall a 3' x 3' ?

THANK YOU for this totally awesome idea. I just completed mine and it's STUNNING. It's so unique and different looking compared to other cork art. Mine came out to about 1200 corks believe it or not! I was hoping to save money on making this piece but purchasing used corks blasted that idea - HA! It was SO worth it though. THANKS!

Cork trees grow a lot, in Portugal. They are slow growers.
The cork industry does not endangers the trees. They care for them.
Cork is one of the most sustainable materials around.
The more you use it, more land for cork trees.
Every cork tree, after planted, is protected by law.
Plastic wine corks should be banned!

I have a lot of my own corks and with the help of a few local wine bars, I am attempting my own version of this! I can only hope it turns out as awesome as yours did! Thanks for posting!!!

Your project totally inspired me!
I just made one of my own - it's drying on the floor:
I'm just not sure how to hang in up. How did you do it? I can see yours is flush against the wall and you can't see the plywood on the edges...?
Thanks in advance for any insight!

In early Oct 2010, GenieDB was invited to speak at Oracle Open World. We presented our ideas on why we used Oracle BDB as our back-end database layer. It's a database jungle out there, and it's been a vital design decision in our architecture to have a reliable and flexible persistent database. Fundamentally, using Oracle BDB we built in a replication layer and a consistency layer, which were essential to provide a fully replicated multi-master database with immediate consistency. GenieDB for MySQL offers a MySQL storage engine for MySQL that allows users …[Read more...]
There's been a recent rise in interest in "in-memory databases". The reasoning given is that the cost of synching commits to disk is high, and this is the bottleneck in write operations; ACID databases require that a commit is confirmed written to disk – which often actually requires two or more disk writes, each with a seek penalty of a few milliseconds. Therefore, on-disk databases struggle to commit more than a few hundred updates per second, unless you invest in very expensively large RAID stripe sets.
Reads aren't an issue, as every disk-based database does caching in memory. If your database is large enough to fit in memory, or access to it is …[Read more...]

Post subject: mastitus
Has anyone had it. Just posted on FB about how cack I feel (seem to have come out with a dreadful chesty cough and cold) didn't think much of it apart from my immune system is probably quite low right now but my SIL suggested it might be mastitus.
Has anyone had it?
My boobs do feel quite hard and warm (but then I haven't expressed much today because I feel so cack), and of course its Friday so nothing I can do till Monday. Anyone know any ither symptoms, these are the ones I have but they are so generic:-
Feel tired (derrr I just had a baby and major surgery lol)
Chesty Cough
Runny nose
Boobs hard and warm
Feel hot (although I feel like I have a temp I don't)

If it is mastitis you need to express you milk until your boobs are empty - dont leave any hard lumps.
I would do that ASAP - A warm bath and massaging your boobs should help too.
I wouldnt ignore it because Mastitis can be nasty if left.

Thnx Raspich, I just expressed, ok I don't feel any better although my boobs feel a bit lighter lol. We'll see I think its just a cold, my toddler has had a cough for a few days and my immune system must be quite low. xxx

Well hopefully if it was the beginnings you've got rid early! If not - hope you feel better soon.
I know you cant really take anything when ur BF but I sometimes have calpol if I'm feeling [*@!#%*], my thoughts are if they can have it - I must be able to. I also find sleep (I know not the easiest thing with a newborn) is the best healer!

I highly doubt you have mastitis because I've heard its very painful so you would know about it!
My boobs were hot when I was breastfeeding.
There is a bug currently going round housing the exact symptoms you're describing, my Lola has had it for 4 days now and she's in bits unable to sleep, coughing her guts up, feels boiling but has no temperature what so ever. I've just taken her to out of hours and they said to keep her on calpol and nurofen but no cough medicine because they're trying to get rid of it now as it acts as a placebo and doesn't work.
So dose yourself up and get some rest xxx

When I had mastitis just after Ryley was born I felt like I had the flu. My head was spinning, I ached all over to the extent that I couldnt move without being in loads of pain and my boobs were really full and painful. It only lasted 24 hours and I was told by the health visitor if it lasts longer than that you have to see the doctor.
I just kept feeding Ry to try and empty my milk out and it seemed to work.
Hope you feel better soon x

I had it when faith was 3 months.it was like the worst flu ever I could nor get warm, I was shivering so bad when I was in bed my teeth shook. It was awful. I felt so so ill. I didn't have any pain I just felt seriously seriously ill. I actually found mastitis worse than labour as I felt so ill I thought I was going to die!! I went to the drop in centre and got stone serious anti biotics, went to bed in between expressing as much as possible and it went
Good luck x

well wasn't mastitus, I ended up in A&E sat night as I couldn;t breathe (literally) and the out of hours doc feared a blood clot.
However turned out to be a serious chest infection, so after being pumped full of iv paracetomol and coedine they finally let me go home in the early hours of the morning. The feeling of suffocation and not being able to breathe will live with me forever

Two Saturnian moons, lined up Jan 06 2016
The Cassini spacecraft took a photo of two moons of Saturn, Tethys and Enceladus, beautifully aligned with each other. The cosmic ballet goes on. (via slate)
The Cassini spacecraft took a photo of two moons of Saturn, Tethys and Enceladus, beautifully aligned with each other. The cosmic ballet goes on. (via slate)
The Cassini probe, launched from Earth in 1997 (six months before I started publishing kottke.org), has been taking photos of Saturn and its moons for 11 years now. The Wall Street Journal has a great feature that shows exactly what the probe has been looking at all that time. (Note: the video above features flashing images, so beware if that sort of thing is harmful to you.)
Whoa, how have I not heard about this before today: the Cassini spacecraft is going to dive through a jet of water erupting from Enceladus, a Saturnian moon.
Discovering life was not on the agenda when Cassini was designed and launched two decades ago. Its instruments can't capture microbes or detect life, but in a couple of dozen passes through the plumes of Enceladus, it has detected various molecules associated with life: water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, molecular nitrogen, propane, acetylene, formaldehyde and traces of ammonia.
Wednesday's dive will be the deepest Cassini will make through the plumes, only 30 miles above the icy surface. Scientists are especially interested in measuring the amount of hydrogen gas in the plume, which would tell them how much energy and heat are being generated by chemical reactions in hydrothermal vents at the bottom of the moon's ocean.
That's pretty crazy...it sounds like science fiction. NASA is doing a wonderful job producing great science with the lean budgets they are given.
Two teams of NASA scientists have discovered evidence that hydrothermal vents on the Saturnian moon of Enceladus show signs of "active hot-water chemistry". Why is that exciting? Because similar chemistry occurs deep in the Earth's oceans *and* can support life. Phil Plait explains.
We see these vents in the ocean bottom on Earth, too. The water there is very hot, heated by tectonic processes inside Earth's crust. It brings up minerals and nutrients, and life thrives there. A lot of the processes are the same as what's imagined is happening on Enceladus; minerals are dissolved in hot water that spews up into the cold ocean, precipitating out. A lot of it is sulfur based, but amazingly life exists there anyway. The environment is highly toxic to humans-huge pressure, boiling water near the vents, freezing a bit farther away, and loaded with icky chemicals-but as a scientist once said, "Life finds a way."
Between the evidence of past flowing water on Mars, Titan's hydrocarbon lakes, Europa's underground ocean, and Enceladus, it seems increasingly probable we'll find life somewhere else in the solar system. That's a pretty exciting prospect! (via @ericholthaus)
Update: It was also announced today that the Hubble has detected signs of a salty underground ocean on Jupiter's moon Ganymede.
New observations of the moon using Hubble support this. Ganymede has a weak magnetic field, and, like on Earth, this generates an aurora-the glow created when high-speed subatomic particles slam into the extremely thin atmosphere. This glow is brightest in ultraviolet, and so astronomers used the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (my old camera!) on Hubble to observe Ganymede. STIS is quite sensitive to UV and detected the aurora.
Now this part is a bit tricky: Jupiter has a powerful magnetic field as well, which interacts with Ganymede's. As they do, the aurora changes position over time, moving up and down in latitude. However, the observations show that the aurorae do not change nearly as much as expected if Ganymede were solid. The best way to explain this is if the moon has a salty ocean under its surface. The ocean would have its own magnetic field and would resist the influence of Jupiter's magnetic field, which in turn keeps the aurora steadier.
Turns out there's water all over the place in the solar system. How about that?
Clive Thompson recently saw the moons of Jupiter with his own eyes and has a moment.
I saw one huge, bright dot, with three other tiny pinpoints of light nearby, all lined up in a row (just like the image at the top of this story). Holy moses, I realized; that's no star. That's Jupiter! And those are the moons of Jupiter!
I'm a science journalist and a space buff, and I grew up oohing and aahing over the pictures of Jupiter sent back by various NASA space probes. But I'd never owned a telescope, and never done much stargazing other than looking up in the night unaided. In my 45 years I'd never directly observed Jupiter and its moons myself.
So I freaked out. In a good way! It was a curiously intense existential moment.
For my birthday when I was seven or eight, my dad bought me a telescope. (It was a Jason telescope; didn't everyone have a telescope named after them?) We lived in the country in the middle of nowhere where it was nice and dark, so over the next few years, we looked at all sorts of celestial objects through that telescope. Craters on the Moon, the moons of Jupiter, Mars, and even sunspots on the Sun with the aid of some filters. But the thing that really got me, that provided me with my own version of Thompson's "curiously intense existential moment", was seeing the rings of Saturn through a telescope.
We had heard from PBS's Jack Horkheimer, the Star Hustler, that Saturn and its rings would be visible and he showed pictures of what it would look like, something like this:
But seeing that with your own eyes through a telescope was a different thing entirely. Those tiny blurry rings, visible from millions of miles away. What a thrill! It's one of my favorite memories.
Over at The Planetary Society, Emily Lakdawalla highlighted an image taken by the Cassini spacecraft of Saturn separate from its rings.
This enormous mosaic showing the flattened globe of Saturn floating amongst the complete disk of its rings must surely be counted among the great images of the Cassini mission. From Earth, we never see Saturn separate from its rings. Here, we can see the whole thing, a gas giant like Jupiter, separated at last from the rings that encircle it.
Taking this idea one step further, I removed the rings completely, along with the "ringlight" lighting up the night hemisphere, creating a more-or-less pure look of what Saturn would look like without its rings.
Larger version is available on Mlkshk.
Fabio Di Donato made this fantastic short film about Saturn using hundreds of thousands of images taken by the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft.
I love the editing technique employed here...the film feels like a silent short from the 1920s but also very contemporary. (via ★interesting)
So far, humans have taken photos from the surfaces of Earth, the Moon, Venus, and Mars. But I had no idea that a photo from the surface of Titan existed:
The photo of the Saturnian moon was taken in 2005 by the Huygens probe, which was designed to land safely on the moon's surface. From Wikipedia:
After landing, Huygens photographed a dark plain covered in small rocks and pebbles, which are composed of water ice. The two rocks just below the middle of the image on the right are smaller than they may appear: the left-hand one is 15 centimeters across, and the one in the center is 4 centimeters across, at a distance of about 85 centimeters from Huygens. There is evidence of erosion at the base of the rocks, indicating possible fluvial activity. The surface is darker than originally expected, consisting of a mixture of water and hydrocarbon ice. The assumption is that the "soil" visible in the images is precipitation from the hydrocarbon haze above.
And a special close-but-no-cigar award goes to the NEAR Shoemaker probe, which snapped this photo from about 400 feet above the surface of the near-Earth asteroid Eros:
The probe landed on the surface of Eros in February 2001 and transmitted usable data for about two weeks afterwards, none of which was photographic in nature.
Well, now, this is gorgeous. Stamen Design overlaid watercolor textures on OpenStreetMap map tiles to show you what it would look like if your favorite watercolorist designed Google Maps.
It's fun to scroll and scroll. (via @tomcoates)
And since we all could stand to look at more pretty things, watch this video of what different landscapes would look like if Earth had Saturn's rings. (via @ianmurren)
The Cassini spacecraft caught this remarkable photo of Saturn eclipsing the Sun in 2006.
Click through for the big image and the massive image. If you look close can see the Earth in the image, for reals!
There is no 3-D CGI involved in this amazing Saturn fly-by video...it's made from thousands of hi-res photographs taken by the Cassini orbiter.
Wait for the full-frame full-color video starting at around 1:00. (thx, sam)
This video of what Earth would look like with Saturnine rings is pretty ho-hum, yeah, there's a shot from orbit of the Earth with Saturn's rings around it, and then BAM! here's what it would look like at night in NYC:
The view from Ecuador is pretty great too.
Update: Greg Allen wants an iPhone app that adds in Saturn's rings to any shot you take with the camera.
With the combination of GPS and orientation data that's baked in to so many digital photographs, it should be possible to create a filter -- I hear the kids call them apps now -- that automatically inserts properly positioned Saturn rings into any sky you want.
An augmented reality app would be nice too.
The Hubble Space Telescope captured four of Saturn's moons crossing its face at the same time. (via cyn-c)
We're still finding lots of new moons around the planets in our solar systems. Twelve new ones were just discovered around Saturn and Jupiter now has 63.
