It is written, I think, for the laity. He states clearly how Calvin saw his world and how it relates to ours. You may not agree with everything he writes but you will come away rethinking Calvin's work. If you are a pastor it should make you want to read the some of the literature recommended. The author tries to get me to see Calvin in our timeframe.

He explained Calvin, but didn't find anything new or fresh in its presentation or its content. Calvin was not reintroduced as a 21st Century figure, but a reformer of the 16th Century. I recommend the book for someone just introduced to Calvin's life and basic beliefs.

Fever, 1793
by Laurie Halse Anderson
Fever, 1793 Memory and the Past Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
I groaned. Mother had been a perfect girl. Her family was wealthy then, but that didn't stop her from stitching entire quilts before breakfast, or spinning miles of wool before tea. It was the War, she liked to remind me. Children did what was asked of them. And she never complained. Oh, no, never. Good children were seen and not heard. How utterly unlike me. (1.7)
The Revolutionary War was a time that asked a lot from people, and they stepped up to the challenge. As a child, Mattie's mother was not allowed to dawdle: she worked hard and took on responsibilities. As an adult, Lucille expects the same things from Mattie. How are things different for Mattie, though?
Quote #2
"You should be dosed with fish oil. When I was a girl…" She kept talking to herself as she carried a steaming pot of water outside to rinse the butter churn. (2.4)
Again, the familiar refrain of "when I was a girl." Is Matilda listening or is Lucille really just talking to herself? Why do the two have such difficulties in communicating?
Quote #3
When I was eight, she got a letter saying her husband had been killed by a runaway horse. That was her worst day. She didn't say a word for months. My father had only been dead two years, so Mother knew just what lay in Eliza's heart. They both supped sorrow with a big spoon, that's what Mother said. It took years, but the smile slowly returned to Eliza's face. She didn't turn sour like Mother did. (2.15)
How do Mother and Eliza deal with the past in different ways?

Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign is shaping up to be the first time Hillary Clinton has been cheap with other people's money:Experienced, adult political operatives who want to do grassroots work for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign currently have no choice but to work as unpaid, full-time interns, raising new questions about how the White House frontrunner runs her own labor force as she prepares to double down on young people's role in the American economy.The Clinton campaign is … [Read more...]

Hillary Clinton Channels April Ludgate
I know I am not the only person to have found Hillary Clinton's delivery of her Campaign Reset speech to have been weird. On social media I have seen her oddball cadences and peculiar emphesis labeled "wooden" or "stilted" and even robotic.But she wasn't robotic. I kept listening to her speak, and thinking, "what is this reminding me of?" And it eluded me, until -- distracted by real life -- I finally gave up thinking about it, but only until I saw this video out of the Rubio campaign, … [Read more...]
Hillary's Press-Protection Pass Slowly Being Revoked
Pondering, in my last post, issues of silencing, and protective passes, I must admit is interesting -- actually fascinating and disturbing -- to watch the press as it starts signaling to the Silent Hillary Clinton that her protective pass is being revoked, and slowly pulled from her hands.The press is finally beginning to publish stories it has loyally kept aside until now, and the headlines are terrible for Hillary, for Bill, and even for the unliked Chelsea, whose boring mediocrity the … [Read more...]
So, Hillary votes "no" on Faith in Public Square, then?
So, it wasn't long ago -- April 13, actually -- that I watched the usual "Hillary is very religious" narrative begin again and asked whether that meant the churches had an ally in Hillary, against those voices who demand that faith be relegated to pews and homes, and put out of the public square:Since Mrs. Clinton is now "officially running" for president, and the press is making a quick note of how important both her faith and its applications for social justice are to her, I expect to hea … [Read more...]
Hillary on Top: Teetering, and not Due to Sexism
Once you've reached a pinnacle, you can't keep whining that you're only teetering because you're a woman. You're teetering because the pinnacle is slim, sharp and lonely, and you can only remain there if you belong there, or if you have one hell of a safety belt supporting you. Those that belong there make the pinnacle look easy, the rest impale themselves or fall. Or they loll about in the safety belt, and stagnate.I wrote that a long time ago, back when Katie Couric was complaining that her … [Read more...]
Will Bible-Carrying Hillary Address Churches & Public Square?
As soon as Hillary Clinton enters into a serious campaign mode -- and this has been true for her husband's campaigns as well as her own -- the citizenry becomes informed that Mrs. Clinton is a "staunch Methodist" and bible-believing Christian. It is always one of the very first cards she plays in her attempts to "connect" with the rubes and yahoos yearning masses whose causes she wants to champion, and whose votes usually factor in religion. I recall reading, during Bill Clinton's campaigns, … [Read more...]
This is how Hillary should always dress
Reading up in anticipation of Hillary Clinton's scheduled press conference (which has not happened, as I write this) I must say I really, really love the way she looks here, in this pant-suit, which I am cribbing from this headline:That looks terrific. Black is always a great color on her; she is not buttoned up to the chin; the necklace sits beautifully; the 3/4 sleeves give her a relaxed and softened look. The white contrasts in buttons, shell and pocketpiece are terrific. That's a … [Read more...]

Hillary, Stop Being Coy! Fight Sexism; It's YOUR TIME!
While traveling yesterday I had a chance to catch up on my reading and discovered that Hillary Clinton is "thinking about" running for President.We love her when she is coy, don't we? I can't wait to see her new presidential posters. Remember this one, from 2008?2008 was a big year for Democrat candidates drawn with just a hint of totalitarian flavor. Hillary's rising sun was reminiscent of Chairman Mao, Obama's posters often ran more toward soviet propaganda.That was then, and … [Read more...]

Rage, rage against the dying of the light
Andrew Bolt –, Monday, June, 30, 2008, (2:28pm)
Bill Clinton has campaigned hard for two nominees for president - Al Gore and Hillary - and lost both times. This latest defeat, at the hands of Barack Obama, is one he's taking very hard:
The Telegraph has learned that the former president's rage is still so great that even loyal allies are shocked by his patronising attitude to Mr Obama, and believe that he risks damaging his own reputation by his intransigence.
A senior Democrat who worked for Mr Clinton has revealed that he recently told friends Mr Obama could "kiss my ass" in return for his support.

Darwin knew: Evolution is no threat to God
Andrew Bolt –, Monday, June, 30, 2008, (1:20pm)
George Pitcher:
Tomorrow we commemorate the great day, exactly 150 years ago, that Charles Darwin unveiled his theory of evolution by natural selection, the most authoritative scientific challenge to Biblical accounts of our origins in, well, the history of the universe…
Less happily, there will doubtless be jolly parties with themes like "The Death of God", at which Professor Richard Dawkins will appear in human form alongside his apostle, Christopher Hitchens, to the rapture of his atheistic disciples.... But wait a minute… Wasn't Darwin also a man of God, who wrestled with some form of faith throughout his life? Was he not intensely respectful of the relationships between science and faith? Should atheists, such as Dawkins, really adopt Darwin as their champion?
Yes, yes and no, in that order.

If the culture is so good, why are the results so bad?
Andrew Bolt –, Monday, June, 30, 2008, (9:16am)
Psychologist Jane Vadiveloo is furious with an intervention that is saving Aboriginal children but crushing her Noble Savage dream:
What is missing is respect for Aboriginal people, their intelligence and their cultures. Aboriginal customs, laws, knowledge, skills, and beliefs have developed and been refined over many thousands of years. They may differ from mainstream practices but they are not inferior.
Aboriginal customs permitting child marriage? Not inferior. Permitting wife bashing? Not inferior. Endorsing the tyranny of strong men? Not inferior. Leading to appalling rates of sexual assaults? Not inferior. Leaving whole communities as beggars? Not inferior.
Aboriginal knowledge rejecting the scientific method? Not inferior. Omitting a written culture? Not inferior. Accepting magic over reason? Not inferior. Not requiring an ethic of education of children? Not inferior.
What's keeping tribal Aboriginal societies back is this kind of ludicrous advocacy of the inferior, broke and dysfunctional. An advocacy by whites with not the slightest wish to lead the lives they exalt.

If global warming won't kill us, no rights charter will
Andrew Bolt –, Monday, June, 30, 2008, (8:49am)
You can always spot the dangerous enthusiast. Here's Michael Kirby:
For the sake of the planet and survival of the species we must embrace the universal principles of human rights.
Embrace Kirby's human rights agenda or die?
There's only one faith that's used by governments to justify hanging gays. So how does The Age introduce Kirby's speech pleading for tolerance?
Religious condemnation of homosexuals wrong
Using the Bible to justify intolerance is a threat to peace and progress, writes Michael Kirby.

Permission to smoke, Prime Minister?
Andrew Bolt –, Monday, June, 30, 2008, (8:41am)
There's a totalitarian puritanism on the hoof. The latest example:
A smoker's permit could be among the "innovative options" employed to get Australians to quit.
The permit, which smokers would have to buy annually and display every time they bought cigarettes, has been mooted in Britain.
And (Health Minister Nicola) Roxon said Australians could face similar measures to cut the national smoking rate…
"I think with tobacco, because we have already gone a long way in Australia in terms of regulation of sale and advertising, there will probably be innovative options like that coming forward."
I loathe the filthy habit, but feel more threatened by politicians with this disposition to ban. I suspect hundreds of thousands of voters would feel precisely the same should "Alcopops" Roxon be so foolish as to push on with this notion, too.

Labor staggers in the states
Andrew Bolt –, Monday, June, 30, 2008, (7:44am)
Labor stocks are sinking in Queensland and NSW. Now Labor is getting a touch-up in Victoria, too:
THE Labor Party faces bitter internal recriminations after the Brumby Government suffered a swing of 16.5% in its heartland seat of Kororoit.
Independent Les Twentyman won more than 20% of the primary vote in Saturday's byelection, and senior ALP figures are threatening action against the Labor-affiliated Electrical Trades Union for backing the high-profile youth worker — including the possibility of expelling the union from the party…
The Liberals' Jenny Matic won almost 21% of the primary vote, up 4.9% since the 2006 general election.
That said, the far-Left Twentyman's involvement makes analysis of the meaning of the result tricky.

Green means poor
Andrew Bolt –, Monday, June, 30, 2008, (7:38am)
Robert Tracinski says the old Left wanted even the poor to be rich. The new Left wants no rich at all:
TRULY consistent environmentalism demands the sacrifice of all prosperity. The only genuine way to slash your "carbon footprint" is to stop consuming goods. The "lifestyle" it really demands is not about hemp bracelets, bamboo textile skirts, and reusable burlap grocery sacks: the entire Whole Foods scene. It's really about abject, Third World poverty.
The fact that rising gas prices hit the poor harder than the rich also opens up an internal fissure within the Left: the unresolved contradiction between the Old Left and the New Left.
When it began to become clear that central planning was a spectacular failure - that capitalism produced the actual rational planning that was bringing prosperity to the masses - recalcitrant, unreconstructed leftists did not embrace capitalism. Instead, they responded by rejecting industrial prosperity as a goal.
The result was the New Left. Since socialism had not been able to raise the people of what was then called the Third World out of a primitive lifestyle, the New Left declared instead that a primitive lifestyle is the ideal, and that we should try to emulate it here. The centrepiece of that campaign has been environmentalism.

More blame-game than computers
Andrew Bolt –, Monday, June, 30, 2008, (7:33am)
The blame game isn't ended, after all, which makes two dud promises exposed in one:
THE NSW Government has threatened to pull out of Kevin Rudd's digital education revolution unless it gets hundreds of millions of extra dollars in funding for the program.
State Treasurer Michael Costa has demanded a top-up of $245million over four years to take part in the computers-in-schools scheme, which was one of the Prime Minister's key election campaign promises.
Mr Costa said the funding was needed because of the significant additional costs for his state.
"In the absence of a firm commitment from the commonwealth, the state is unable to participate in round one of the program," Mr Costa says in a confidential briefing note obtained by the Nine Network.

The power-assisted front and rear vented disc brakes are firm and responsive, and they allowed us to stop quickly in traffic without throwing us against the dashboard.
Steering is responsive, although it's not supertight. More input is required when the four-wheel drive is engaged. The double-wishbone front independent suspension does not feel designed for passenger comfort; the ride was pretty rough on even the best-paved roads.
Turns feel rather precarious in the 2006 Nissan Xterra. The car has a high center of gravity because of the clearance beneath the chassis, which allows extra space to pass over rocks and debris. But on the pavement, it gives the driver a sensation of instability, especially around tight corners. Body roll is prevalent, which caused our stuff in the front and backseats to knock around quite a bit.
Off-road, our Xterra slogged its way through a muddy field without much difficulty. The engine had plenty of torque, and we didn't feel much slippage. Turns felt even more precarious on hillsides, however, and at one point, we thought we might tip over. For those who like to play away from the asphalt on a regular basis, the Xterra is available in a specific Off-Road edition that includes Bilstein off-road performance shocks, fog lights, and an electronic-locking rear differential. Hill-descent control and hill-start assist are also available on the 4x4 Off-Road model.
The most disappointing thing about the 2006 Nissan Xterra by far is its gas mileage. Depending on the transmission, the car gets between 16mpg and 17mpg in the city and 21mpg to 22mpg on the highway. With those numbers, the 21.1-gallon gas tank doesn't last long; we had to fill it up twice during a three-day review period with moderate driving.
The 2006 Nissan Xterra also does poorly in the emissions department. The EPA gives the Xterra a 6 out of 10 (with 10 being the highest) on its air-pollution scale, which reflects pollutants that cause health problems and smog. Its greenhouse gas score, which is based on the car's carbon-dioxide emissions, is a dismal 3 out of 10 for the automatic transmission and 4 out of 10 for the manual. Had the car done better in this area, we might have given it a higher rating for performance.
Decent visibility is the first noticeable safety attribute of the 2006 Nissan Xterra. The car sits higher than others in its class, which gives the driver a commanding view of the road. Large rearview mirrors and good window placement and design minimize blind spots. But the height of the Xterra makes it a prime candidate for a rearview camera or at least a park-distance warning, as visibility immediately behind the car isn't great.
Standard safety features include dual-stage front air bags with seat-belt sensors and active front head restraints, as well as lower anchors and tethers for children (LATCH). In addition, the chassis features zone-body construction with front and rear crumple zones; hood-buckling creases with an energy-absorbing steering column; and steel side-door guard beams. Our test model came with the supplemental air-bag package, which includes driver and front-passenger side-impact air bags and roof-mounted curtain air bags for additional side-impact and rollover protection.
The four-wheel antilock braking system uses electronic brake-force distribution to help all wheels brake equally, as well as active-brake limited slip to help the driver recover control of the car in case of a slide or a skid. Models with four-wheel drive also include a G-sensor that adjusts the ABS according to terrain, whether it's the road, the rocks, or the snow. Vehicle dynamic control helps correct oversteer (the back end coming loose) or understeer (the car plowing forward).
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gives the 2006 Nissan Xterra a four-star front crash rating, a five-star side crash rating, and a three-star rollover rating.
The 2006 Nissan Xterra is backed by a 36-month/36,000-mile limited warranty and a five-year/60,000-mile limited power train warranty.

By Jennifer Clampet (USAG Wiesbaden)February 23, 2010
WIESBADEN, Germany - "Wounded."
It's a scary word, said Leander Townsend, a physical trainer with the Wiesbaden Fitness Center.
Easing into the routine of a light jog after a back injury or completing a squat exercise while still remembering the limp from a knee injury can be a tentative experience for Soldiers transitioning back to the military force or to veteran status.
"When injuries happen we should do everything we can (to help Soldiers recover)," said Townsend.
For the past seven months, Townsend has been working with wounded and injured Soldiers pushing them through circuit trainings, running exercises and personal training.
Townsend's work is done in conjunction with the U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden's Warrior Transition Unit.
In 2007 the Army created 35 WTUs at Army installations - the units were intended to fill a gap in support personnel for wounded Soldiers. In the WTU system each Soldier is assigned a triad of care - a squad leader, nurse case manager and primary care physician.
By 2008 the WTU system's caseload doubled from 6,000 to 12,000 Soldiers.
Helping Soldiers regain their physical fitness footing after injury isn't a new idea. But Townsend and Wiesbaden WTU officials say this is one of the first times a transition unit has partnered with a fitness center to help Soldiers transition back into fitness.
"As you can see, (Townsend) really put a hurting on us," said WTU Soldier Staff Sgt. Gary Kennemore as he finished up his run on a fitness center treadmill.
Minutes before in the center's gymnasium, Kennemore and fellow WTU Soldier Staff Sgt. Calvin Gomez worked through circuit training - exercises such as squats, lunges, raises, bicep curls and the bosu plank all done at a pace and repetition suitable to their recovering bodies.
Wearing a weighted vest, Gomez is working out as part of rehabilitation to build up his back muscles from an injury.
"It helps; it does (help)," said Gomez of the training with Townsend. "After any medical treatment, it helps with the rehabilitation."
Townsend said he sees the 10 or so Soldiers he works with every month as warriors in transition.
"You have a heart for all of them - ones that want to stay in - the ones that want it both ways. My main concern is to help these Soldiers," said Townsend.
WTU officials approached the Wiesbaden Fitness Center personal trainers in June 2009 about starting the program.
The concept for the program was conceived during a triad of care meetings that involved a physical therapist and the Wiesbaden WTU's nurse care manager, squad leader and primary care manager.
"The idea came from what can they (the WTU Soldiers) do as far as fitness," said Sgt. 1st Class Sonny Valdez.
But whether Soldiers are returning to the force or moving back to civilian life, Townsend said the fitness training is another aspect of helping Soldiers transition.
"They feel somebody cares," said Townsend. "It's not just 'come over here. Let's do this. Let's get going.' What we do here is important because once they leave they may not get (this kind of conditioning). Some would just be lost without it."

Quiet, clean State Park, with mostly long, back-in sites, with electric. Some sites have rather narrow paved drives, with nearby shade trees. Others are more open, but are also more level and big-rig friendly (Sites 2 through 6). Plenty of room between sites; plus large mowed, open areas and trails for walking. This is a good park for folks with dogs, but I didn't see much for kids to do around here. We would stay here again. - FranM

In the early 90s I wrote a Mandelbrot Set generator in 68000 assembly language on the Atari ST. The 68000 processor didn't have any floating point arithmetic so I wrote a set of fixed point arithmetic routines with precision ranging from 16bit, 24bit and 32bit. These all had 8 bits for the integer with the remaining holding the fraction part.
I managed to find a copy of the program and got it to load in an emulator. The Atari takes around 10 seconds to draw, and only uses a 200x200 window. A couple of years ago, I wrote a Java version which works as an ImageJ plugin. This version is much faster (0.07s for a 800x600 image), which works out as 1700x faster than the Atari, despite only being clocked 300x faster. Processor design improvements and hardware floating point probably account for much of this increase.
The atari version can be downloaded here. The ImageJ version is available here (ImageJ and Java8 required - an older version which works with Java6 is also available)
A couple of years ago I wrote an ImageJ plugin to draw the Mandelbrot Set. I recently updated it to make animations (download available here).
To make an animation like the video, use the ImageJ 'polyline' tool to draw a line, with the spline option to smooth the line. Clicking on the Julia Set button will create a set of images which can be aligned using the following script:
var out = "zigzag1/"; run("TIFF Virtual Stack...", "open=[JuliaSet.tif]"); rename("julia"); var frames = nSlices; var w = getWidth(); var h = getHeight(); run("TIFF Virtual Stack...", "open=[mandelbrot.tif]"); rename("brot"); setBatchMode(true); for(i=1; i<=frames; i++){ merge(i); } run("Close All"); setBatchMode(true); print("Finished"); exit; function merge(i){ imgname = "frame"+i; newImage(imgname, "RGB black", w*2, h, 1); selectWindow("julia"); setSlice(i); run("Select All"); run("Copy"); selectWindow(imgname); makeRectangle(w, 0, w, h); run("Paste"); selectWindow("brot"); setSlice(i); run("Select All"); run("Copy"); selectWindow(imgname); makeRectangle(0, 0, w, h); run("Paste"); fn = out + imgname+".zip"; print(fn); saveAs("ZIP", fn); close(); }
The images will be saved in the folder given in the 'out' variable. Although this can be accomplished using the 'Combine' option in the ImageJ stack menu, the script works with virtual stacks so can handle much longer animations.
I wrote this plugin over 4 years ago, to add a 'Like' button similar to Facebook. It is a standard Blosxom plugin which uses a bit of JavaScript to modify the page when the button is clicked.
I hadn't realised that I never uploaded it here. I have updated it to use JQuery, which replaces some if statements and browser specific code with a single line (JQuery takes care of all the browser specific stuff).
To use the plugin, copy it into the plugins folder as usual. It needs
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
adding to the head section of the webpage, like all the other JQuery based plugins here. Add the line:
where you want the button to appear.
A list of most-liked stories can be generated and is available in
The plugin is available to download here.
This website uses the seemore plugin which makes it possible to only show the start of an entry, and expand to show the full item when a link is clicked. The original version reloaded the entire page but I have modified the plugin to use JQuery so it now expands the item in-situ without having to reload.
It works in a similar fashion to the updated gallery plugin and also needs
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
to be added to the head section of the webpage.
The updated plugin can be downloaded here.
One problem with still using the fairly ancient Blosxom blogging software for my website is that it receives practically no updates any more and most of the plugins aren't being updated either.
Although everything still works, it would sometimes be good to have a more modern, better supported system, I have been staying with Blosxom because it would be a pain to transfer everything to a new format. One of the main problems would be the photo galleries which use ImageGallery, where the images and captions are all stored in different files, in different folders. I would need to find a way of converting the data to a new format. If I stick with Blosxom (and ImageGallery) then I would have to put up with the whole page being reloaded when a new image is selected.
Since there doesn't seem to be anything better at the moment I decided to update the plugin to use JQuery which lets you easily change document elements and load files from the server.
My new version, ImageGalleryJQ is a drop in replacement for ImageGallery but loads the images and descriptions without reloading the entire page. To use, simply rename the file to imagegallery and copy to the plugins folder. The JQuery library needs to be loaded by including something like
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
to the head section of the webpage.
All of the gallery pages in a website will automatically use the new plugin.
Here is the ImageJ version of the classic Game of Life which I wrote in an evening, several years ago. I have made a small change since then so the 'Reset' button clears the window and the 'Random' button fills the window with random dots.
The ImageJ drawing tools can be used to fill in pixels. Clicking on 'Start' will begin the animation. Pixels which have remained unchanged slowly fade to grey while pixels which 'came alive' are in white.
To Install
Download the source code and load into ImageJ or Fiji. Select 'Compile and Run' to start.
The program was cobbled together fairly quickly and ideally would need a bit more work to make it more user-friendly. Any configuration is done by editing the source code and recompiling. The speed of the animation can be changed by altering the value of 'pause' (value in milliseconds). The size of the world is given by the 'width' and 'height' variables. If these are changed then the image window may need to be resized by changing the default magnification in the setMagnification() command.
A few weeks ago I was reading the book The Emperors New Mind by Rodger Penrose and I reached the part where he discusses the Mandelbrot Set. Years ago I used to enjoy exploring this on my computer. I decided to download a mandelbrot program for my mac but couldn't really find one which I liked. This prompted me to have a go at writing one myself. I decided to cheat a little and write it as an ImageJ plugin so I didn't have to handle the display and mouse myself.
I reused some bits of code from a version of Life which I wrote a few years ago and also some code which I developed during my PhD and managed to get a useable plugin up and running that evening. Over the next few days I added a few extra features and made it a bit more useable.
To Install
Click on the download link and save the 'jar' file into the ImageJ or Fiji plugins directory.
To Run
Select 'Mandelbrot' from the 'Plugins' menu. Configuration options are in the 'About Plugins' submenu of the 'Help' menu. After changing any options, the mandelbrot set window will need to be closed and the plugin re-run before any changes will come into effect.
How to Use
To zoom in or out, use the 'Point' tool of ImageJ to select the new centre and click on either the 'Zoom To' or 'Zoom Out' buttons at the bottom of the window. To pan the view without changing the zoom, select the new centre then click on the 'Re-Centre' button. The 'Reset' button returns the view back to the original zoom.
The number selection box to the right of 'Reset' controls how many calculations are performed before the algorithm decides whether a point belongs to the set or not. Increasing this number will show more detail at the fringes of the set at higher zoom levels.
The Normal/Sqrt/Log selection controls how the colour values are calculated. Initially all values are displayed in greyscale. To display in colour, select one of the ImageJ lookup tables for the required colour scheme.
Finally the Julia Set for a particular point can be displayed by selecting a point then clicking on the 'Julia Set' button.
More Details
Further details on the Mandelbrot Set and Julia set can be found in Wikipedia.
I was discussing nursery rhymes and similar childrens songs with Emma and we were talking about how we learned slightly different versions of some songs. Neither of us could remember the full words to the song I'm a little teapot so I decided to look them up. Our tablet computer was nearby so I used that, clicking on the voice search and saying the name of the song.
I was a little surprised by some of the suggestions and had to search the old fashioned way, by typing the words instead. When I tried the search using my phone, it correctly recognized what I was saying.
I really have no idea what the computer thought I was saying.

Last year, Emma bought an Advent Vega tablet computer. It uses the same 'Android' operating system as many mobile phones but of course with a much larger screen.
The only real problem with the Vega is that out of the box, it doesn't support the Android Market, which makes it a bit difficult to install applications. We installed an updated version of the software which makes the tablet much more useful. Without the Android Market, you are more or less restricted to web browsing and the built-in applications.
After playing around with it for a few weeks, the tablet ended up in the bottom of a drawer for a few months, unused and ignored. We both had new HTC phones which came with Android, so we could do all the same things on our phones, which also had the advantage of being smaller and more portable.
I recently decided that it would be a good idea to get the tablet up and running again. The main idea was so it could be used to read recipes in the kitchen, to save having to either print out from websites or try to use a laptop in the kitchen. So far I haven't actually used the tablet in the kitchen but it is getting used fairly regularly now.
I don't find it as convenient for web browsing as a full laptop because it is a bit slower and the lack of a full keyboard makes it less useful for using forums etc, but it is perfectly fine for reading ordinary web pages.
We have installed a few applications which get fairly regular use. The one I probably use the most is the Kindle app, which turns the tablet into something very similar to an actual Kindle. You can download books from the Amazon website or install them from elsewhere (such as Project Gutenberg). So far I have read a few freely available, out of copyright, books. I had never read any Charles Dickens books or any of the Sherlock Holmes novels so I decided to give them a go. I decided to start with A Christmas Carol (since it was Christmas at the time), then moved on to The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and The Hound of the Baskervilles. I am now reading the ebook version of God's Debris, by Scott Adams.
I find reading ebooks or PDFs on the tablet is much easier than on a laptop. The device is much lighter, and the screen is a better shape and size. I have several books queued up ready to read next, including Gulliver's Travels, which I actually downloaded when we first got the tablet but I didn't get around to reading it.
In the last few years, I haven't read as many books as I used to. In the run up to Christmas, I decided that I would spend a bit less time on-line and more time reading, and so far I have been fairly successful. I probably won't be able to keep the pace up and read a book a week but I should be able to catch up on some of the books which I have had for a while but not read yet.

I received an email this morning where the sender had requested I return a 'receipt' when I had read the email. I clicked the button to send it but it didn't work. Instead I saw the following error message:
I suspect the problem was caused because I was at home but sending an email from my work account, which by default tries to connect to a particular email server. This server is configured to only accept connections from on-site.
I was backing up my laptop to the remote server in work this morning when I noticed the abbreviated directory names...
When a backup drive is shared between people, the Time Machine/Time Capsule backup system uses what's known as a 'Sparse Bundle' to simulate individual drives for each person. Unfortunate choice of name when the directory window isn't wide enough to display the full filenames.

I was using my computer at home this morning when the Internet stopped working. I noticed the wifi icon on the computer was flashing so I thought the router had briefly dropped the connection. Emma pointed out that the electric clock had gone off, so for some reason our power was out. I then noticed that all the neighbouring wifi networks had disappeared from the wifi menu, and I could also hear some nearby alarms going off, so it then became clear that the power had gone down for the nearby area and not just our house.
It's an automatic response to switch on the room lights when we get up, which I immediately did, then suddenly realised how stupid that was.
Our oven has mains-powered electric ignition so I had to light it by hand to bake the baguette for my sandwich. We don't have any long matches or special long lighters for lighting cookers, so I had to reach to the back of the oven with an ordinary cigarette lighter, while carefully turning the gas on. The gas makes a fairly loud 'whooshing' noise, which made lighting it a little scary but I managed without losing too many arm hairs (unlike Emma last week when she lit the grill, and the automatic lighter didn't seem to want to work at the time).

This morning I received an email claiming to come from Facebook. It claimed that they were implementing new security measures and I would have to update my account.
It all looked very authentic, right up until the bit at the bottom of the message where it said:
This message was intended for xxxxxxxxxxx @ trapperindustries.com.
I don't remember setting up a company called Trapper Industries, which appears to sell deactivated weapons and military hardware. I guess the email wasn't intended for me after all.

I have a Compaq desktop computer which I don't use very often. It used to be my main machine but I now mainly use it to back up data or the scanner which is attached to it.
It has been running infuriatingly slowly recently so I decided to reinstall Windows, using the 'System Recovery' option which replaces the contents of the hard drive with the 'factory fresh' copy of XP.
The computer now runs quite quickly again. Boot-up time has been reduced from over 4 minutes to 38 seconds. The computer had so much software installed, and a lot of rubbish would load on start-up. The desktop actually used to appear after 2½ minutes but it was a further 2 minutes before you could open any windows or run any programs.
Clicking on files and opening windows is amazingly quick now. There used to be several seconds of disk-thrashing and a long wait when the "Start" button was clicked. Now the menu appears pretty much instantly. I had started to wonder whether my old computer had always been this slow, and I only thought I remembered it being fast when new, but no. It is back to being quick and responsive again.

I began writing later in life after my retirement when I was gifted with a laptop.
I'm the mother of three and the grandmother of four. I spends most days in my office at the kitchen table writing.
I live in Iowa with my husband and two dogs.
I love to write fun easy reads. Some are more romantic than others. A few have a goodly amount of suspense. I always add a little humor here and there, like life does.
I promise you a good time, some fun and a happy ever after ending.
Thanks if you decide to read me and thanks for checking me out anyway.

ITV hype
Quote:- "Hamilton would have been outstanding had he made his debut in a Renault or a Spyker (like his fellow 2007 rookies, the overshadowed but still hugely talented Heikki Kovalainen and Adrian Sutil) – or a 2001 Sauber or Minardi like Kimi Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso had to"
I do n't think so.
Probably its Mark Blundell wetting his nickers again over Hamilton and ITV thanking Hamilton for the increase in audience participation and advertising revenue during their 2nd rate coverage of GP.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Hence the reason I will only switch on now just as the race is about to start and hit the off switch when the race is done - it is soooo LH biased it makes me sick.
Today DC and Button had 'fantastic races' - yeah but but that was only mentioned AFTER Hamilton had retired - otherwise the rest of the Brits have long since been ignored.
the difference with lewis is his consitancy. sutil and kovalienen have been all over the place. if lewis had been in a spyker, or say they had waited a year and put him in a prodrive, he wouldnt have been winning for sure, but he would have been doing sutils best performance every race. he is the real deal.
on the other hand its true blundell is a dick. i wish i was eloquent enough to have the job what he does.

Classic comment from Brundell in post race 'analysis'. Quote: "I do n't think Lewis did anything wrong" - and in the same breath - " he just dropped it coming in to the pit lane". And in the immediate hand over to the F1 'presenters' with Raikkonen, Alonso and Massa on the podium the discussion - Lewis Hamilton. Martin Brundle is the only one in the ITV crew with any sense, observation and comment worth listening to.

Whether you like Hamilton or not, you can't deny he has had a brilliant season...I can't understand why people slate him for driving a McLaren...saying he should have started in a lower team... can you honestly say that the other rookie drivers would not have jumped at the chance to drive a McLaren and I dare say one or two of them may have done as well as Hamilton in their first season...Kovalainen in particular but we will never know...Unfortunately the media focus on Hamilton and I think that is one of the reasons why some people dislike him but come on...is it his fault? Give the British press time...they have put him on a pedastal and it will not be long before they try to knock him off as they did to Beckham and Gascgoine. You can't deny he is a good exciting racer....just give the lad a chance

Did I say I dislike Hamilton? When you have been 'coached' for 11 years within one very good team and mentored by its head man, then put into possibly the best car on the GP grid I fail to see what's , quote "monumental" about Hamilton winning the driver's championship. With the effort put in if I was Ron Dennis I would have expected not much less. Where Dennis went wrong was bringing in Alonso as a back up (probably having lured him with '#1 status') With Hamilton's success in F2 which is not that far from F1 he was bound to make his mark. I just hope that media hype, the lure of the flat in Monaco, fraternising with filmstars, and $$$$$$s etc. does n't take him down the same route as many other 'stars'.

Dr. Safier was very kind and knowledgable. He explained my child's diagnosis thoroughly. I would recommend him to my friends.
We went to see Dr. Safier for a second opinion. He did a great job of explaining things to my daughter and me. We were very happy with the visit.
Dr. Safier is an excellent doctor, and very professional. He was my surgon when her diagnosed me with a tibia plateu fracture, and two years later you can hardley tell my knee was even cut open.
My son suffered an injury while pitching. Dr. Safier was vey professional and explained everything. My son needed surgery and the whole experience was very stress free. My son did terrific and is back to playing baseball
For as long as my daughter seen Dr. Safier, he was always caring and provided great care to her. During every visit, he would explain her options and made sure we understood everything. He was very nice and made my daughter and I feel very comfortable.
Dr safier was wonderful. My son had knee pain for over a year that was just being followed by his doctor. We went to see dr safier and he diagnosed our son with a lesion in the bone that is common in athletes. He spent a lot of time with us explaining the surgery and answering all our questions. My son was back to playing soccer pain free in 3 months. The entire st christopher experience was terrific
But I was taken aback when my child and I first met him and he said she needed surgery. Turns out her knee was "normal" yet she is still in pain and that was a year ago. After months and another surgery, she was/is still in pain. We are now experiencing poor bedside manner and frustration. He continues to say there is nothing wrong. We are very disappointed with him.
Initially, my care started out well. As time progressed and my child continued to have problems ---- things changed. My child and I experienced a continued frustration with the physcian in his inability to fix the problem. I would ask many questions related to my child's condition and why my child continues to have complications for a diagnosis that typically would be repaired. I appreciated the fact that everyone is different. As time passed, I have been subjected to poor bedside mannerism and follow up. I am greatly disappointed in this outcome which has left me to seek other options.
He was awesome and took very good care of me. Dr. Safier was also very nice.

Maybe I need a quieter place to knit, but I also like being around my family. I guess I should have several projects going at once; a mndless one, and a more complicated one (not that magic loop is supposed to be complicated).

Roberto Ortiz: 90% Chance I'll Get Lucas Matthysse
By Ben Jacobs
Lucas Matthysse has been looking for a rematch with Danny García ever since his points decision loss to the Philadelphian last September, that however looks unlikely to happen anytime in the near future.
As BoxingScene reported earlier, more than one name is being discussed for the Argentine with Michael 'The Artist' Pérez in the frame . Nevertheless, another opponent could possibly be the current WBC Silver champion, Roberto 'Massa' Ortíz.
A source with knowledge of the negotiations confirms that Ortiz and Perez are both in the running for Matthysse's next outing on September 6th.
Ortiz has built up an impressive record (31-0-1, 24 KOs), is currently ranked at number four by the WBC and revealed to BoxingScene that his camp are in discussions for him to face Matthysse.
"I feel ready now," proclaimed the Golden Boy promoted fighter.
"I've been the silver champion for three years, I've made nine defences so I think I'm ready for these big fights.
"Regarding the rumours that I may fight Matthysse, I can say my manager has told me that there is a possibility that I'll fight him. I'd say it's a 90% chance. They've possibly accepted the fight, but there are some other details to work out."
There have also been rumours that Danny García may be stripped of the WBC belt due to the choice of Rod Salka as his next opponent. Ortíz revealed that if he does fight Matthysse then that title may be on the line.
"If I fight Lucas and it's for the world title, it would be an incredible thing for me, a big plus.
"I thought Mauricio Herrera beat Garcia, although it was a very close fight. From the first round he showed a good jab and competed well in every round. I also wanted to fight him [García] but it seems he may go up in weight soon."
The 28-year-old from Torreón saw Matthysse's war against John Molina Jr and feels that Lucas is not quite the same fighter as he was prior to the García loss.
"I think he can be beaten," he opined.
"He's a strong fighter, of course, he's fought the best in the division but he doesn't seem to have the confidence that he had in previous fights. You have to be ready mentally as well as physically and we've also seen that he goes down. Molina dropped him twice, but he did get up and go forward. If I do fight him, we'll come up with a good strategy.
"Whoever drops their guard first may end up getting knocked out. If the fight happens, my intention is to be ready for 12 rounds.
"I've been training for three weeks because I was due to fight at the end of August anyway. If I don't fight Matthysse then I'll fight on August 30 and soon I'll have the chance to fight the best."
Better fight than Perez, but still not what I wanted.Comment by Corelone on 07-14-2014
O....Ortiz. That zero is like a ball and chain. Massa drags his around for minor escapes. O...Kell Brook, I saw him get beat. O...Lara, oops. I have to tip my hat to Lomachenko on that score. He never cared about…Comment by Hougigo on 07-14-2014

IBM DS4000 Auto Volume Transfer Usage With RDAC
The IBM System Storage DS4000 Series are IBM's solution for mid-range or departmental storage requirements. In a DS4000 storage subsystem equipped with two controllers, one can provide redundant I/O paths between the host systems and the storage. There are two different components that provide redundancy in the I/O data paths: the Auto Volume Transfer (AVT) feature of the storage subsystem and a host multi-path driver, for example, Redundant Disk Array Controller (RDAC). This paper is to provide an overview of AVT and RDAC, and introduce how AVT works with RDAC depending on the configuration. It also intends to illustrate several possible path thrashing situations with the AVT mode or not.

By Sgt. Nathaniel Foster, 214th Fires BrigadeJune 6, 2013
FORT SILL, Okla. (June 6, 2013) -- With the tornado that damaged more than 1,300 homes throughout Moore and Newcastle, Okla., Soldiers from the 214th Fires Brigade wanted to help as soon as possible, in any way possible.
When the 168th Brigade Support Battalion received word that blood was needed, the unit coordinated with the American Red Cross out of Dallas to hold a blood drive May 28, at Honeycutt Fitness Center.
"It is important to donate blood because someone is in need of it every second, and right now the Red Cross is short of blood," said Sherri Gant, American Red Cross supervisor. Blood is the one product that cannot be made in a lab and the only way to get it is through voluntary donation.
"With all the disasters, the Red Cross is running low on its blood supply," said Gant. "One unit of donated blood can save three people lives."
Soldiers and civilians took time out of their busy schedule to donate blood.
"The reason I donated was because of the disaster that happened May 20 in Moore," said Spc. Kathleen Owen, an ammunition specialist assigned with A Company, 168th BSB. "The people of Moore need help and giving blood is one way that I can help them out."
Owen said she was able to give blood for the first time, because she never never before met the minimum weight requirement. Having donated she felt good knowing she would help someone out.
"You are doing more than just giving blood, in some shape or form you are helping save someone's life down the line," she said. "Also, I want to thank the American Red Cross for making this blood drive possible."
The Soldiers and civilians gave 31 units of blood, which may save up to 93 lives when the call comes.

Quote, unquote: just-food's week in words
By Michelle Russell | 10 December 2012
just-food spoke with Intersnack about its acquisition this week
Tesco's decision to potentially exit the US market shared the headlines with Intersnack's acquisition of United Biscuit's salty snacks unit. just-food spoke with Intersnack's MD Bernd ter Glane about the deal. Elsewhere, just-food spoke with FrieslandCampina's boss Cees Ruijgrok and the chief executive of Nestle's operations in equatorial Africa, Ian Donald.
"The last 18 months, we gave the business the best shot. We minimised the costs. We reduced the losses. I don't think there's any more we could have done but once it became clear, we had to act fast" - Tesco CEO Philip Clarke on the group's decision to potentially exit the US market.
"I think everybody is still looking jealously at China. It's all relative. China will continue to grow" - Dutch dairy giant FrieslandCampina's export boss Cees Ruijgrok responds to a question on whether he is concerned about the slowdown in growth in China.
"We always were looking for a good foothold in the UK market and we saw that there is an ideal chance here" - Intersnack international marketing director Bernd ter Glane tells just-food why the company bought United Biscuit's salty snacks division.
"We realised that to develop it and to understand the consumer we were going to have to put structures on the ground and work in the countries, which is about what we are doing" - the chief executive of Nestle's operations in equatorial Africa, Ian Donald, says Nestle's need to develop a detailed and in-depth understanding of the different markets in Africa prompted it to form its equatorial Africa division.
"B&M has risen from relative insignificance to being quite a serious presence on the high street so it is quite a significant move for it to be acquired in that way and it values it at quite a lot as well" - Verdict Research analyst Andy Stevens believes the acquisition of UK discount retailer B&M Retail by private-equity firm Clayton, Dubilier & Rice is "significant" given the retailer's growth.
"If you are operating at 80-90% capacity utilisation you make money, much below this and you are working to cover your costs" - Sukhdev Joha, reader of management strategy at Royal Hollaway University of London and co-author of research report Bringing Home the Bacon, argues that, as capacity utilisation in the UK port industry drops, profit margins follow.
"It would be very naïve not to look at a balanced portfolio and a balanced investment portfolio and private label absolutely sits up there and a number of retail strategies are driven on that" - Richard Cooper, the managing director of UK baked goods firm McCambridge tells just-food the company may consider a return to private label following the sale of its own-label cake business to NBGI private equity.
"We are intrigued by the possibility that Olam could have been only days away from collapsing" - Advisory group Muddy Waters remains unconvinced Singapore state investment agency Temasek stepped in to ensure Olam was able to obtain further funds in an ongoing dispute about the company's accounting practices.
"Higher priced meat, and not just pork, beef and chicken included, have certainly had some sticker shock to consumers as they are walking in the grocery store" -Larry Pope, the chief executive of US meat firm Smithfield says consumers have reduced consumption levels as a result of the company's decision to increase retail prices.
"Where supermarkets are breaking the rules with suppliers and treating them unfairly, the Adjudicator will make sure that they are held to account" - competition minister Jo Swinson explains that the UK Government's new grocery industry watchdog will have the power to fine supermarkets who deal "unfairly" with suppliers.

Deepika Padukone Gave Flawless Takes: Soundarya Ashwin
Bollywood diva Deepika Padukone will be seen in never-before character in Tamil movie Kochadaiyaan. She is making her debut in Kollywood in the Rajinikanth starrer flick. The multilingual flick is directed by the superstar's daughter Soundarya Ashwin.
The director has praised Deepika Padukone for her dedication towards the project. Soundarya Ashwin has said that when she first offered the movie to the Bollywood actress, Deepika asked a few questions as she was a little apprehensive about her characterisation in the movie.
Deepika Padukone enquired about the technicalities of the project and how the technology would work. The actress also asked the most usual question asked by top actresses - how I would be projected on-screen?
Soundarya claims, "When I first approached Deepika with Kochadaiyaan, she was a little apprehensive and had several questions pertaining to the filming process, how the technology would work, and most importantly, how she would look!"
Deepika Padukone dedicated herself to the character after the initial inquiry. Soundarya Ashwin claims that the actress is a true professional as she completed her portions in just 48 hours. The director says, "Once those questions were cleared, Deepika Padukone was fully committed to the project." Continue reading the story on the slideshow...
