Apple's iMessage Can Cause Problems for Phone Switchers
Frustration with Apple's iMessage service came to a head this week as customers recounted problems getting messages after switching from one phone to another.
The issue seems to be most prevalent for people who switch from an iPhone to a phone on a competing—and incompatible—platform such as Android.
Apple's text and multimedia messaging service has provided a convenient way for Apple users to communicate with one another across many devices such as iPads, Macs and iPhones, and it allows for group communications not capable with standard text messaging from a cellular carrier. Though it acts much like messaging apps such as WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, iMessage only works with Apple products. Not only can't you use iMessage to chat with friends and family on Android or Windows phones, if you switch to one of those phones, you must take care to disengage it—or you might lose text messages.
The reason is that Apple registers phone numbers with iMessage accounts, and routes messages to those phone numbers. If a phone number isn't unregistered when the customer switches that number to an Android phone, iMessage may continue trying to handle messages anyway. Since Android doesn't have any way to receive iMessages, the messages land in a virtual dead-letter office: addressee unknown.
This was the key issue in Moore v. Apple Inc., a court case filed in the U.S. District Court's Northern District of California on May 15 and earlier reported on by Bloomberg. Yet the concern isn't new: Apple support pages show people complaining about iMessage hiccups as far back as 2011—particularly regarding messages that were lost or misdirected after a phone switch. The complaints started around the time Apple introduced iMessage in iOS 5.
Now, the lawsuit and a critical mass of complaints—highlighted by Business Insider, among others—have brought iMessage bugs into the spotlight. Apple told Re/code that the company had "recently fixed a server-side iMessage bug which was causing an issue for some users, and we have an additional bug fix in a future software update." The company added that anyone still having problems should call AppleCare.
We reached out to Apple and will update when we hear back from the company.
If you are having trouble with iMessage, you should remember a few key points, outlined in Apple's support pages and elsewhere:
- Don't trade in your phone, wipe its memory or even remove its SIM card before first turning off iMessage on the device.
- If you have already ditched your phone, you will need to contact Apple to remedy the situation.
- Editing the phone number in your Apple support profile will not fix this problem.
If you are having your own troubles with iMessage, let us know in comments, or send a note to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Though multi-instrumentalist David Olney is a folk singer at heart, he incorporates wide-ranging inspirations from honky tonk to rock into his standard repertoire. Born in Rhode Island, Olney moved to Nashville during the early '70s and became a major player in the city's underground f...more
Singer-songwriter David Olney has been called "one of the best songwriters I've ever heard," by no less than Townes Van Zandt, who listed him as one of his favorite music writers alongside Mozart, Lightnin' Hopkins and Bob Dylan.
Generally a folk singer in style, Olney grew up in Rhode Island but has lived in Nashville for many years. He got his first guitar when he was thirteen, and became fascinated by American folk music, listening to the likes of Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly. was soon digging down into the origins of contemporary American folk by listening to and learning from Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly. He was inspired to become a songwriter, and moved to Atlanta, and then Nashville.
His songs create characters, almost as an actor does. He gets inside the head of the people his songs create and develops songs from their point of view. In Omar's Blues he tackles the unlikely subject matter of Omar Khayyam, applying the poet's themes to characters both contemporary and Biblical--and it works beautifully.

In his first season as head coach, Todd McMenimen picked up the Wolverines right where legendary coach Herb Stinson left off.
Bayfield High School has six wrestlers in the Class 3A regional semifinals at Monte Vista.
�We had a good day,� McMenimen said. �We wrestled well. We came out with attitude. I think wrestling two of the top teams in the state last week really paid off.�
Fresh off the mats against the No. 1- and No. 3-ranked teams in the state, Colter McMenimen (126 pounds), Allec Rodriguez (132), Drake Rhodes (138), Joe Zink (145), Michael Goodman (182) and Matt Cerdas (220) will represent BHS in today�s championship semifinals.
Three wrestlers are alive in today�s wrestlebacks, including one unlikely BHS heavyweight in Matt Eckstein.
�Matt was one of the few kids that just didn�t get it done,� coach McMenimen said. �He wrestled one of the most athletic kids we saw there, the kind of kid that Matt typically struggles with.�
Eckstein was pinned and will have to wrestle back through the consolation bracket to finish top four and advance to the CHSAA Class 3A Wrestling State Championships next weekend in Denver.
Taylor Winch (113) and Tyler Beebe (120) also are in today�s wrestlebacks in Monte Vista.
�We�ve got some tough, tough semis in the morning, but they�re all tough at this point,� coach McMenimen said. �They�re certainly winnable.�

I am enjoying reading everyone daily entries as they share with us what is going on in their Scouting world. It truly has made our Scouting community closer.
Now I am not sure how it all really works, but this blog averages about 450 subscribers, to me that seems really low considering all the great Scouters out there, many of which blog too, but I suppose it is what it is and as long as there is one other person reading this, well then I guess all is well in Scouting Blog land.
Anyway, just wanted to Share this focus with you today. It really is not about the numbers, but we all get excited when we share a moment in time with others, like being in the arena at Jambo with 70,000 other tan wearing Scouts and Scouters.. that was incredible, and so is the #100daysofscouting!
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Need some help in deciding best holster for my 380 bodyguard. Will either keep in pocket or IWB.
Any advice much appreciated.

For something that small, you have more than a few options. For my LCP, I've had many days of comfortable carry with just a plain Uncle Mikes pocket holster and an IWB holster of the same brand.
January 24, 2011, 05:43 PM
Will take a look. Thanks
The Lone Haranguer
January 24, 2011, 08:07 PM
At least as an option, in a front pant pocket, in a Mika pocket holster. http://frontiernet.net/~akim

I'm still curious if a molded leather or kydex holster for the little guy will end up turnning the laser on and burning up the battery.
January 25, 2011, 06:01 PM
I carry my LCP in a rear pocket with a "wallet" style pocket holster, ie, the weapon is held in the proper orientation to be drawn, the trigger is protected and there is an anti-print flap so the outline of the gun is not visible trough your clothing. I have tried and don't really care for front pocket carry.
I do have a Fobus paddle holster for OWB carry. I tend to use it if I'm driving a long distance and/or my waist will be covered by clothing. Mostly it's in my pocket, however. Whatever you choose, use a holster; do not carry free in a pocket.

Nov. 28, 1958 – May 20, 2013
Vincent Steffan, president and founder of the Steffan Group, an event and destination management company based in New York City, died unexpectedly last Monday in New York Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan. He was 54.
Mr. Steffan had lived in New York City for more than 25 years.
Born and raised in Buffalo, he was sought out throughout his career for his expertise in planning and staging exclusive galas, fundraisers and corporate destinations.
He attended Babson College in Wellesley, Mass., and began his career working at ViewPoint International. He later studied under George Trescher, eventually becoming director of George Trescher Associates. He launched his own business in 2001, and his corporate clients included the New York Times, American Express, AIG, Eli Lilly, Christie's and Time Magazine.
He also reached out to a number of nonprofit organizations, including New York Foundling Hospital and the Caron Foundation. He was known for mentoring, gifted storytelling, a gregarious voice and his love of a stupendous party. In addition to his home in New York, he had homes in the Hamptons and Palm Beach, Fla.
Survivors include three sisters, Lisa Steffan Barnett, Susan Steffan Mathias and Barbara Steffan Gallagher, and a brother, Robert.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be offered at 10 a.m. Thursday in St. Mark Catholic Church, 401 Woodward Ave. A celebration of his life will be conducted in New York City in June.

Garner "is an incredible, spectacular, world-class mom," Affleck said last May.

Eden Wood surprised a lot of people when, at just 6 years old, she retired from the child beauty pageant scene that made her famous.
But now, it's becoming clear why the former Toddlers & Tiaras star pulled the plug on pageants – she's just got too much going on.
"We didn't look for these opportunities. They found us," Eden's mom, Mickie Wood, told PEOPLE at the Cicciabella children's fashion show (hosted by Kelly Benismon) on Thursday, where Eden hit the runway for her Fashion Week debut. "We've been blessed and lucky."
It's been a whirlwind week for the pintsize star. She's already done a high-end photo shoot, been dressed by Marc Jacobs, and sat in the front row of a fashion show. "Celebrities were coming and introducing themselves to her," Mickie recalls. "She didn't know them but I was so excited for her."
She even made it into the gossip columns: the New York Post reported that Eden threw a tantrum when she wasn't allowed to have teeth whitening treatments at a gifting suite. "That's a total lie," her mom insists. "She asked for the teeth whitening but when they said she was too young, she moved on. There was no fuss."
Next up, Eden will step in front of the camera for a guest appearance on Cake Boss star Buddy Valastro's series, Next Great Baker on TLC. ("They're going to make a cake that looks like her!" Mickie says.)
Then, she'll hit the silver screen.
"She already has one real movie and two animated films lined up," Mickie says. "She gets such joy out of performing. She lights up," says Mickie. "It's her personality that really sets her apart."

Since 2011, residents have been anticipating completion of the new K-12 Hopewell-Loudon Local School District building. Students, staff and community member were able to tour the new facility Saturday.
The teachers and staff are to begin moving in to the two-story, 132,000-square-foot building May 28.
The tour began with a view of the high school gym called the Scarlet Gym. The Gray Gym is for the junior high and elementary school students. The main hallway, called Main Street, is the main thoroughfare that runs through the entire building.

Elementary Principal Jennifer Losey guides a tour of the media center in the new school building Saturday.
A view of the Scarlet Gym
The building is separated into the high school and elementary school wings. Each grade level teacher will have his or her own work room and teacher lounge area equipped with restrooms.
In each of the wings, there are several cut-out areas, nooks where students can work in groups or for students to complete missed tests or assignments, Elementary Principal Jennifer Losey said. There also are windows to these areas so teachers can see the students working.
"We want to further their learning experience," she said.
All classrooms have an overhead projector which projects onto a white board. Computers can also be hooked up to them to show data or any other lessons, Losey said.
The media center or library is also down the high school wing and is for all grade levels. There is a reading room in the southeast corner and there are electric blinds that can control the lighting.
Losey said that the librarians will begin to move books Monday.
"Sixth-, seventh-, eighth- and ninth-graders will now have science labs ... the general science classes never had a science lab before," Losey said. "This will enhance learning through lab space to do experiments and hands-on learning."
For the high school science labs, the rooms are set up in two areas, one for teaching and another for experiments.
"This is great if there is an ongoing lesson or an experiment that takes multiple days," Losey said. "Labs can remain set up as others come in and use the room."
The building also is equipped with an elevator and additional cushioned seating throughout for reading or additional group work.
"For the kindergarten classrooms, there will be two rooms with their own restooms and own outside play areas," Losey said.
The building is equipped with many of the same features and some new ones, Losey said.
Throughout the building, the H-L logo is visibble on the floors, clocks and even the numbered door plaques.
A live auction of all the furniture and other equipment form the old building is to take place June 8. The old building is to be demolished in June. The Chieftain gym that was built in 1988 will remain as a third gym for students and the community to use.
Mary Moore, 1966 Hopewell graduate, said that the new building was tremendous.
"It will be something for the kids to look forward to," Moore said. "They will get a better education. It is just terrific."

Tyra Banks
- 1984
Growing Pains
At 11, a growth spurt turns Banks into "this tall beanpole freak all the girls would laugh at." She tells PEOPLE, "I wasn't just skinny and tall; I was sick looking. If anybody called me skinny, I would just smile, then run into my room and burst out crying. It was a really unhappy time."
- 1990
Model in the Making
A 17-year-old Banks begins making the model agency rounds while at L.A.'s Immaculate Heart High School. ''The market for black models was not very good,'' Banks' mom Carolyn, who shot her daughter's portfolio, tells PEOPLE. Banks is told her look is "too ethnic." After graduation, she plans to enroll at L.A.'s Loyola Marymount University, but weeks before the start of her freshman year, things turn around. A French modeling scout spots Banks and offers her a chance to model in the Paris couture shows.
- 1991
The European Catwalk
''My ankles would shake, and I would bend my knees and stick my lips out,'' Banks tells PEOPLE of her first model walks. But within a week, she accumulates 25 bookings. Model Niki Taylor says, ''She can work a runway like you would not believe.'' Designer Todd Oldman adds, ''She reminds me of an antelope. She was just born with grace.''
- 1993
Runway Rival
Black supermodel Naomi Campbell takes notice of rising 19-year-old star Banks and reportedly persuades Karl Lagerfeld to ban the so-called new Naomi Campbell from Chanel's catwalk. "Why do I have to knock Naomi out to be successful?" Banks asks PEOPLE. "With white models, they don't do that."
Her Single Guy
Banks meets Boyz N the Hood director John Singleton, 25, through mutual friends, and they start dating. ''Tyra brings out the silly side in me, which no one else is allowed to see,'' Singleton tells PEOPLE. Banks counters, "I like that he's very intelligent but not nerdy."
Fresh on TV
In her first recurring television role, Banks plays Will Smith's sassy girlfriend Jackie on NBC's Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. ''When people know me as a model, they back off," she tells PEOPLE. "They have trouble relating to the image they see in the magazines. But when they recognize me from television, they relate to me as this chill-out girl." Banks also makes guest appearances on television shows Soul Food, Felicity and American Dreams.
- 1995
Screen Debut
Banks lands the part of track runner Deja opposite Omar Epps in Higher Learning. "Tyra is good,'' says the film's director and her boyfriend John Singleton, who calms her worries of favoritism by assuring her she wouldn't have the part if she wasn't right. ''She adds a lot of flavor to what could have been a throwaway role.'' She follows up with films Love & Basketball and Coyote Ugly.
- 1996
Another Romantic Link
After splitting up with Singleton in spring, Banks, 22, shows up with pop singer Seal, 33, at the Essence Awards. Their low-key romance ends in October.
- 1997
Fashion Pioneer
She has a Cover Girl makeup contract and is a regular in magazines and on runways, but the 23-year-old Banks makes history with a triple achievement in 1996. She is the first African-American woman to pose on the covers of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue (with model Valeria Mazza), GQ (February 1996) and the Victoria's Secret catalogue (1996). On Feb. 21, 1997, she'll grace the cover of Sports Illustrated for the second year in a row – this time, by herself.
- 1998
Lessons from Tyra
The model releases her first book, Tyra's Beauty Inside & Out, with her thoughts on self-esteem and step-by-step makeup advice. "It's not the cosmetics, not the swimsuits, not the magazine covers," makeup artist Sam Fine tells PEOPLE. "The beauty of Tyra is her natural side, the child in her." Banks is also upfront about her looks: "I'm not ugly, but my beauty is a total creation."

USU student leaders applaud student loan compromise bill
Editors note: Douglas Fiefia, a Huntsman student majoring in Business Administration, is also the Utah State University Student Body President and president of the Utah Student Association.
Herald Journal
By Kevin Opsahl
Two Utah State University student leaders lauded the Senate's compromise bill on student loan interest rates. The agreement includes bringing the rate back down to what it was before it doubled to 6.8 percent in July.
Doug Fiefia, a student member of the Board of Trustees and president of the Associated Students of USU, and Erik Mikkelsen, a student member of the Board of Regents — Utah's higher education governing board — both made comments on the legislation, which still faces a House vote before going to the president.

At a time when most hardware stores are traditionally selling snowblowers and rock salt, employees at Fiore True Value Hardware completed a few unusual transactions for December: lawn mower sales.
"I just sold two lawn mowers," store Manager Tom Irwin said Monday afternoon. "I don't remember selling two lawn mowers on Dec. 3, ever."
The mowers would not sit idly as Christmas gifts.

Penn State Altoona sophomore Jordan Swope hits infield practice to junior teammate and brother Cody Swope at Stewart Athletic Field on campus Monday afternoon.
Both customers said the mowers were destined for yard work during the week, Irwin said.
Unseasonably warm temperatures reaching into the 60s drove the thought of snowfall from many people's minds.
But the warmth will be temporary as colder temperatures more typical of winter are right around the corner, forecasters said.
A cold front moving in tonight will make Wednesday "noticeably" cooler, said Tom Kines, a meteorologist at AccuWeather.
Temperatures are expected to drop back into the 40s by Wednesday, which is "about where we should be for this time of year," Kines said. Some showers are possible moving into Wednesday.
Irwin said many customers took advantage of Monday's warmer weather by stocking up on Christmas lights and lawn decorations.
"It never fails, and this always holds true," Irwin said. "If it's nice weather in December, you'll sell more Christmas decorations."
The explanation is simple: Most people would prefer to decorate their homes in warmer weather than brave freezing temperatures and cold winds, Irwin said.
Amy Gearhart at Gearhart's Meats and Country Store said warm weather was helping to drive business; the store had already processed about 400 deer since opening day.
Warmer temperatures mean hunters need to bring in their kills for processing quicker than normal, she said.
"They need to get them in now," Gearhart said, adding that the store was "keeping steady" with orders. "It's too warm to let them laying around."
Kines said the warmer temperatures did not change forecasters' predictions of heavy winter snowfall over the course of the season.
"The weather that we're seeing right now has no effect on the upcoming winter weather," Kines added.
"For skiers, hang in there," he joked.
Officials at area ski resorts said they would gladly welcome the return of winter weather.
Seven Springs Mountain Resort hosted skiers and snowboarders as part of its "preseason" opening last weekend, spokeswoman Anna Weltz said.
The resort opened eight trails and one terrain park over the course of the weekend. But warmer temperatures prompted the staff to halt snow production, which will hopefully resume by the middle of the month, Weltz said.
"We're watching Mother Nature and seeing what decision she makes," Weltz said.
Crews at Tussey Mountain Ski Resort in Boalsburg installed and tested three new snow-making machines last week, spokesman Aaron Weyman said.
Weyman said the resort will open as soon as possible - hopefully before Christmas, he added.
"We're just monitoring the forecast right now," he said. "Anytime we get snow-making conditions, we're going to take advantage of it."
In Claysburg, Blue Knob All Seasons Resort is on track to hit the resort's tentative opening date of Dec. 14, General Manager Doug Houck said.
"We blew enough snow that we could have opened this past weekend, but looking at the long term forecast," Houck said, "we elected to stick with our opening weekend of Dec. 14."
Despite warmer temperatures, ski and snowboard equipment was still popular at Spokes N Skis in Hollidaysburg.
Store owner Bill Taafe said the warmer temperatures also generated a noticeable uptick in bicycle sales.
"We're still selling a lot of ski and snowboard packages, but we're selling bikes as well," Taafe said.
Bike sales tend to be year-round purchases, Taafe said. Parents will routinely buy bicycles as Christmas presents, but Taafe said a noticeable number of adults took advantage of the warmer weather by purchasing their own bikes.
"Adults are buying them for themselves because the weather has been pretty good to ride," he said.
But people should take advantage of the warm weather while they can because older temperatures are on the way, Kines said.
"It is December," Kines said. "It can't stay warm forever."

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law enacted in 1974 that applies to the access and release of educational records. It is also known as the Buckley Amendment. Under the FERPA act, a student has the right to review his or her educational records and provide management over the disclosure of information regarding such records. College and university personnel are legally bound not to disclose information such as grades, enrollment status, or other academic performance information unless approved by the student. Parents and family members are often surprised to find out that they no longer have automatic access to their student's academic records nor can they freely discuss a student's academic status with college representatives without the written permission of their student. As a parent or family member, it is important that you discuss this with your student and direct any questions to the Office of the Registrar at (956) 882-8254.

SYCAMORE - Sycamore village council met Tuesday night and clarified information regarding the possibility of Sycamore volunteer fire and EMS becoming part of a joint fire district.
Mayor Matt Boucher said the Sycamore department had voted 21-4 to participate in a committee, consisting of representatives of the McCutchenville fire, township representatives, a council member from Sycamore and a member of Sycamore's department. The meetings are for fact-finding, said Boucher, and no decision has been made.
Councilwoman Darcy Zimmerman volunteered to represent council with Councilman Ralph Decker as a back up.
Decker also informed council that he, Council President Vicki Weininger, and Police Chief Richard Blankenship participated in an experiment in estimating cars' speed. The group enlisted some residents and had them estimate the speed of cars in two areas of the village while also utilizing a speed gun to get an exact speed.
Decker said the residents overestimated the speed of vehicles. On South Sycamore, 21 vehicles were clocked at an average of 29.9 mph in a 35 mph zone, while in "old town" near Kilbourne Street 28 cars averaged 42.2 mph in a 45 mph zone. Decker feels this gives credence to his theory that some residents sometimes have concerns over speeding when it may not be the case.
Councilman Dave Myers asked Village Administrator Chuck Clark about a meeting with the railroad. Clark said a meeting has been set up for Sept. 7 to discuss the possibility of placing gates at a crossing where a woman lost her life recently.
Clark also questioned the status of credit cards for the fire department and was told the fire chief is to sign the application soon. The cards will be used for fueling emergency vehicles. Clark said the current fuel tanks probably will have to be relocated when the new water treatment facility is built due to regulations.
A water committee meeting is 3 p.m. Sept. 4 in council chambers. Council is to meet at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 11.

It's a good thing American Horror Story wrapped up its second season Wednesday night. One of its stars, Sarah Paulson, can sleep a little easier now.
"I can't watch it at night and I'm on it," the Emmy-nominated actress, 38, tells the Associated Press.
"There are some people who like to be scared and I understand that, but I am not one of those individuals. I like to cozy up with a nice book and a bath and a teddy bear. I am not interested in being terrified before I go to sleep."
It's been a breakout year for the FX horror show, and for Paulson personally. One highlight was when Miley Cyrus, a fan of the show, started following Paulson on Twitter. "@MsSarahPaulson I can't WAIT a whole week until the next episode!" the pop star wrote at one point.
"That was pretty wild," Paulson tells the Huffington Post. "I think I tweeted her back like, 'Are you kidding? Did you follow me?' Miley Cyrus watches American Horror Story? I couldn't understand."
Paulson also earned Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for her work on the HBO movie Game Change. She didn't win, but was still thrilled.
"It's okay to sit in the Golden Globe room and look around and think, 'Oh, Helen Mirren's a loser tonight, so is Nicole Kidman. Meryl Streep lost tonight. Jessica Lange didn't win.' If you're gonna be in the company of losers, that's the company to be in."
She adds: "I definitely have felt how wide-reaching this season has been in terms of people who have come up to me in restaurants and in New York, walking down the street. It's wild."

One of the most hated people in America ranking along with lawyers, car salesmen, pedophiles, environmentalists, activists and communists. The highest position in corporate America. A subhuman species. Pig. Snake. Vermin. Arrogant. Scandalous. Dishonest. Corrupt. Crooked. They ironically recieve perverted bonuses while their company struggles to earn a profit and employees are paid a slave labor and receive paycuts while not being able to feed their families. CEOs steel money from the company and employees. They believe their employees are expendable and won't hesitate to lay them off in the name of "corporate restructuring." They are dishonest in reporting corporate earnings to the government and hide discrepencies from stockholders. They engage in such behaviors as insider trading, the shredding of documents and giving head to the Board of directors just to keep their job and receive unfair bonuses.

Sounds like a start of a love story. Um... is it? Maybe it's just me lol.But you said she was accepted ito a boarding school for occult beings, rite?So what is she? Hears voices in his head...probably due to his headphones.
"aristocratic and hybrid family" at a certain part of georgia most highschoolers that like anime can spot that.sorryXD. and remember. just because it may seem like a love story in the beginning, it can change into something only the insane can think.««∂σηt ℓєt tнє ƒα¢є ƒσσℓ уσυ.tιѕ ιт αℓℓ αη α¢t»»
it might become a love story or a rivalry idk
thank you thank you-sniff sniff-..but like i ssaid you have to waito.o....imma post it in roleplay form soon.««∂σηt ℓєt tнє ƒα¢є ƒσσℓ уσυ.tιѕ ιт αℓℓ αη α¢t»»

When I'm running late for the park, microwave popcorn tossed into paper bags is a perfect treat. (PS I'm almost always running late.) (Also, if you're really running late and forget your water bottles, McDonald's drive thru doesn't charge for large ice water. The kids might not be too happy about only getting water but they get over it.)
we also go barefoot sometimes.
We also love each other. (See Gray's tender touch on Bianca's head? And some sweet hand-holding in the photo below?)
I was thinking about my kids and wondering how other big families "do the friend thing". Are siblings enough? I've found I prefer to be together as a group with other families vs. just a one kid from the class type of thing, where you might never really know the parents. Or the kid.
We don't all go to the same churches, or live in the same neighborhoods, but we love raising our kids together, to be loving and know love.
Friends that blur the line with family and you kind of forget
you're not really related.
But to me
we are.

let's a client (importer) fetch a module as a whole
- Code: Select all
import tester
allows clients to fetch particular names from a module
- Code: Select all
from tester import Klass
allows clients to fetch a module from a different directory. (see Relative Imports on Modules Part 3)
- Code: Select all
from .. import tester #import the module tester from parent directory
allows an imported name to be given a different name in your script
- Code: Select all
from tester import Klass as Kl
import tester as test
Provides a way to reload a module's code without stopping Python
Python2.x (reload is a built-in)
- Code: Select all
Python3.x (reload has been moved to the imp module)
- Code: Select all
from imp import reload
How it works:
Modules import without the suffix .py. Imported modules performs a 3-step process the first time it is imported:
1)Find the modules file
Python first looks at the home directory that the file is located in:
- Code: Select all
Using the previous example, in b.py if you wanted to import the module a.py, in b.py you would have the following syntax:
- Code: Select all
import a
If a program is located entirely in a single directory, all of it's imports will work automatically with no path configuration required. Because this directory is searched first, its files will also override modules of the same name in directories elsewhere on the path.
Python then searches your PYTHONPATH directories:
PYTHONPATH is a list of user-defined and platform-specific names of directories that contain python code files. You can add all the directories from which you wish and python will extend the modules search path to inlcude all the directories in your PYTHONPATH lists. This setting is only important when you are importing files across directory boundaries.
- Code: Select all
import sys
Python then searches your standard library directories:
These are always searched and do not need to be added to your PYTHONPATH
Python then searches for directories in your .pth files:
This is a file you create that allows you to add directories to the module search path by listing them, one per line, in a text file whose names ends with .pth.
You can always inspect the modules search path
- Code: Select all
import sys
sys.path is the merging of the home directory of the top-level file (or an empty string to designate the current working directory), any PYTHONPATH directories, the contents of any .pth files path you created, and the standard library directories.
Some changes last only the duration of the script, but PYTHONPATH and .pth files allow for more permanent ways to modify the path.
2) Compile it to byte code (if needed)
After finding the the source code file that matches the import statement, Python next compiles it to byte code if necessary. Python checks the file timestamps and if the byte code file is older than the source file (ie, if you changed the source), automatically regenerates the byte code when the program is run. If on the other hand, it finds a .pyc byte code file that is not older than the corresponding .py source file, it skips thie source-to-byte code compile step. IF python finds only a byte code file on the search path and no source, it loads the byte code directly (meaning you can ship your a program as jsut byte code files and avoid sending source). The compile step is bypassed if possible to speed program startup.
Only imported files leave behind a .pyc file
3) Run the modules code to build the objects it defines
The final step is is it executes the byte code of the module. All statements in the file are executed in trun, from top to bottom, and anyassignments made to names during this step generate attributes of the resulting module object.
Because this step actually runs the file's code, if any top-level code in a module does real work, you will see the results at import time. Because of this, any given module is imported only once per process by default. If you need to import a file again after it it has been loaded, you have to force the issue with imp.reload.
3rd party software
3rd party software use distutils from the standard library to install themselves. So no path configuration is required to use thier code. These typically come with a setup.py file
Basic structure example using linux terminal
I did this all on the terminal so you can actually see what i write to the file. For quick rundown: mkdir creates a directory, touch creates a file, cat prints off the file content, ls lists the current directory content, echo "some_string" >> filename writes some_string to the file filename.
this is an example all on the terminal:
- Code: Select all
metulburr@arch ~ $ mkdir example
metulburr@arch ~ $ cd example
metulburr@arch ~/example $ touch main.py
metulburr@arch ~/example $ ls
metulburr@arch ~/example $ echo "from subfolder import module" >> main.py
metulburr@arch ~/example $ echo "print('running main')" >> main.py
metulburr@arch ~/example $ cat main.py
from subfolder import module
print('running main')
metulburr@arch ~/example $ mkdir subfolder
metulburr@arch ~/example $ ls
main.py subfolder
metulburr@arch ~/example $ touch subfolder/__init__.py
metulburr@arch ~/example $ touch subfolder/module.py
metulburr@arch ~/example $ echo "print('running module')" >> subfolder/module.py
metulburr@arch ~/example $ cat subfolder/module.py
print('running module')
metulburr@arch ~/example $ python3 main.py
running module
running main
metulburr@arch ~/example $ python2 main.py
running module
running main
metulburr@arch ~/example $
and here is what each line is doing:
- Code: Select all
create directory example in ~/
cd directory into example
create a new file called main.py
list files in directory (ls)
write to the file on first line in main.py "from subfolder import module"
write to the file on second line in main.py "print('running main')"
print the content of what is in main.py (cat)
make directory subfolder
list files and directories in current directory "example"
create a new file in subfolder called __init__.py
create a new file in subfolder called module.py
write to the file on first line in the subfolder directory to file module.py
print the content of what is in subfolder/module.py
execute main.py via (python main.py) in the directory example
(code can be python2.x or 3.x)
the structure:
- /home/username/example:
- main.py
- subfolder
- __init__.py
- module.py
go to Modules Part 2

Avarekalu (field beans) - 1 cup, cooked
1-2 tbsp fresh, shredded coconut
2 green chillies, chopped
1 tbsp chopped cilantro
salt and lime juice to taste
For the tadka:
Oil, mustard seeds, turmeric powder & curry leaves
Boil the beans in a pressure cooker with a little salt and keep aside.
Heat oil in a pan and do the tadka. Add chopped green chilies and saute for a few seconds.
Add the cooked avarekaalu and salt to taste, keeping in mind that the cooked beans are salted too. Toss around a few times so everything gets mixed well.
Add the coconut and lime juice. Finish with chopped cilantro.
Let it sit a while so the beans can soak all the flavors and then serve.

LG Optimus G vs Samsung Galaxy S III
0. phoneArena 22 Oct 2012, 06:49 posted on
Continuing its reign atop the Android world, the Samsung Galaxy S III has been one polarizing smartphone that has captivated us with its all-encompassing high-end goodness. Lurking in the shadows waiting for its turn to burn up the scene, the LG Optimus G is gearing up to finally make its attack in grabbing the crown. Being the newer kid on the block, the Optimus G's combination of featuring a quad-core processor and 4G LTE connectivity makes for one alluring tally at the moment, but will it be enough to conquer the tight grasp that Sammy's flagship has on the market?
This is a discussion for a review. To read the whole review, click here

Can there be a comparison? G wins hands down.
26. formersamsungphoneowner (Posts: 3; Member since: 22 Oct 2012)
LG " G" is clearly the winner here.
BETTER DESIGN ( more sophisticated & a truly elegant phone)
BETTER DISPLAY ( very accurate life-like colors).
the 13MP Camera is obviously better than 8MP of s3.
(take a look at those sample photos)
"G" is NO DOUBT its more faster in BROWSING & DOWNLOADING.
why there is no actual video comparison in web. browsing?
32. Angelface77 (Posts: 32; Member since: 10 Sep 2012)
I could not agree more with you. LG made a great comeback with this beast
36. whysoserious (Posts: 318; Member since: 20 Jul 2012)
Design is personal preference, I know, but I think the G looks like a combined Razr Maxx-Galaxy S2. For specs, you're right, LG-hands down. For camera and video, S3 gained my vote, despite the 5 megapixel lead of G.
29. AnTuTu (Posts: 1580; Member since: 14 Oct 2012)
Agreed with you guys whatever points you have mentioned above.
But LG lacks in software side of it.
So I would say GS3 = 55/100 and G = 45/100
30. richardyarrell2011 (banned) (Posts: 510; Member since: 16 Mar 2011)
Galaxy S3 rules here folks.
42. Just_a_boy (Posts: 183; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
Optimus G is better than Samsung GS3 only brainwashed Samsung fanboys will disagree, faster processor, faster browse speeds and better screen. AMOLED panels and their saturation mislead the comprehension of the image, sometimes that is not good!
43. Angelface77 (Posts: 32; Member since: 10 Sep 2012)
Can not agree with you more. LG wins all the way.
2. bobfreking55 (Posts: 866; Member since: 15 Jul 2011)
software wise, LG obviously ripped off TouchWiz a lot. nature ux? features? cartoony UI? yup.
but even SGS 3 beats the camera.
sad story - and that is why the LG Nexus may fix everything.
6. predator93 (Posts: 122; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
LG and Samsung have copied each other equally when it comes to software. If you go back before touchwiz was introduced in android, touchwiz copied a lot of ui elements from LG. An example for this is the cube found on samsung jet (I have owned own and I can say it is better implemented compared to arena) which was ripped from lg arena 's S class UI. If u have used an LG phone like cookie and arena u can still find some similarities in the UI of optimus phones (ex :- 4 shortcuts on the bottom).
13. bobfreking55 (Posts: 866; Member since: 15 Jul 2011)
but in terms of quality software experience - fanboyism aside, Samsung wins. That's why many would prefer Samsung over any other manufacturer.
any way, I have high hopes for LG's Nexus.
14. predator93 (Posts: 122; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
I do agree Samsung implements things better when it comes to software. LG Nexus will definitely be better compared to their other phones.
3. Fayeznoor (Posts: 71; Member since: 15 Nov 2011)
ill prefer Samsung
8. THE-DARK-KNIGHT (banned) (Posts: 18; Member since: 21 Oct 2012)
The clash of the titans. But take note LG- THERE'S NOTHING LIKE AN AMOLED DISPLAY!!!! Love my s3!!!
9. OpTiMuS_BlAcK (Posts: 418; Member since: 04 May 2012)
And there's nothing like an HD IPS+ Display.
11. predator93 (Posts: 122; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
I want a hybrid of oled and ips lcd.
27. CanYouSeeTheLight (Posts: 1116; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
There's nothing like an SLCD2 (HTC One X) or as Engadget likes to call it the best screen on a mobile phone right now!
37. babyk (Posts: 308; Member since: 03 Nov 2011)
No Doubt..One X hands Down
22. xoatomxo (Posts: 57; Member since: 26 Apr 2011)
I have galaxy s3 and I love it.
4. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Well, I see what you did there, John.. since in your book S3 beat the iPhone 5 and the latter was tied with optimus g, now Sammy had to get a slight upper hand.
But really, the Optimus is simply more future proof and has superior hardware.
I agree that Samsung has more mature software and better support but the most it should get is a tie here.. win is a little over the line.
5. ryq24 (Posts: 725; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
anytime lg vs samsung i would always go for samsung. but samsung vs sony, that's a tough one for me.
7. OpTiMuS_BlAcK (Posts: 418; Member since: 04 May 2012)
LG wins, no brainer.
23. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 3797; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
LG lover, no brainer.
31. OpTiMuS_BlAcK (Posts: 418; Member since: 04 May 2012)
Proud to be one, rather than joining mainstream Apple and Samsung :)
48. CanYouSeeTheLight (Posts: 1116; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
Sorry LG sucks hard, even though my phone was better than that POS Optimus Black (i had the 2X) it still sucked in after sales support and on stock ROM a very laggy experience.
49. OpTiMuS_BlAcK (Posts: 418; Member since: 04 May 2012)
Wow, why are you here slowpoke?
I knew the 2x sucked, that's why I settled for the OB in the first place, it is getting better CM support than the 2x. Jelly Bean runs on it pretty well but the stock LG GB UI was still pretty nice. I'm sticking with LG no matter what..
Have a nice day sir!
50. CanYouSeeTheLight (Posts: 1116; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
Because i just saw that stupid comment from yours, sorry to disappoint you but the OB is worst than the 2X at least the 2X is dual-core, anyway they had good hardware both of the phones LG software is what sucks, but to say that the 2X sucks and OB is better is just lying.
53. OpTiMuS_BlAcK (Posts: 418; Member since: 04 May 2012)
Oh you, I know the 2x has better processing power and all. But after reading a lot of reviews, there were a lot of problems. All I needed at the time of purchasing was at least a phone with 1 GHz clock speed, LED flash, secondary mic and a unique feature, which were the G key and the super bright NOVA display. The software sucks, on the 2x, Tegra 2 was terrible IMO.
54. CanYouSeeTheLight (Posts: 1116; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
It wasn't that terrible, on CM7 (GB) it was faster than my sister's SII which was on ICS. It was a good phone ruined by LG's lack of software updates and also by the 512mb RAM...
55. OpTiMuS_BlAcK (Posts: 418; Member since: 04 May 2012)
And now that it has an official ICS update, you still think the software runs bad?
56. CanYouSeeTheLight (Posts: 1116; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
Idk, i got sick of waiting for the ICS update and sold the phone.. But on CM7 it was smooth and stable. And from some videos i have seen it runs ICS very good and very smooth.
10. ajac09 (Posts: 1481; Member since: 30 Sep 2009)
samsung ftw LG still has quality issues and the reviews of the latest LG android phone havent been the best.
12. ZEUS.the.thunder.god (unregistered)
S3 is definately better. tested & tried but thats my opinion . for some people it can be lg but they need to prove themselves in the market.
15. Raymond_htc (Posts: 430; Member since: 06 Apr 2012)
Guys.. when making a comment please be UNBIASED. Some of you are just too biased to the S3 as u own it.. and some are too biased to the G cuz you own it....
51. alouden (unregistered)
There is nothing but bias here, and that's not good. I own the GS3, and it's a great phone. The best phone I have ever owned. But I can't tell you how disappointed I was when I realized that the Optimus G wasn't coming to my carrier. It seems like a beast of a phone and was certainly going to be my next phone. Great specs, better display. Samsung probably has it beat on software, though. However, the samsung casing is crap. Finally, from the reviews, I hear the 13 MP camera is not necessarily better than a 8 MP one (whether it is LG or and other brand). So that is not necessarily an advantage. But LG deserves nothing but praise for the Optimus G.
16. app_droid_soft (Posts: 42; Member since: 09 Sep 2012)
well done LG...remember rome wasn't built in a single day
17. GALAXY-STORM (Posts: 328; Member since: 13 Oct 2012)
Samsung have set the bar too high with their s3, so the optimus G have some serious catching up to do. After all its never easy to convince all the people that your phone is better than the other....a game at which Samsung and apple are at their best.
18. VJo003 (Posts: 357; Member since: 11 Mar 2012)
" Samsung Galaxy S III coughs up the usual 16GB of RAM out of the box..."
I guess u meant internal storage....
19. jackhammeR (Posts: 1548; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
there is always something wrong with Lg products.
Not refined enough, not polished...software lacks something, camera is a garbage
But hardware, once again, brilliant.
XDA on a mission
20. lzsbleach (Posts: 155; Member since: 20 May 2012)
I cant believe Galaxy S 3 is still kicking ass, if the US versions came out a little later we would have had Jelly bean and the exynos processor and nothing would have been able to touch that.
21. buggerrer (Posts: 306; Member since: 21 Sep 2011)
if you want a phone that will probably get "key lime pie" update in Q4 2013 get the LG G!!
24. monkeytown (Posts: 125; Member since: 26 Jul 2012)
what about the bootloader? LG locked it again?
47. Phonecall01 (unregistered)
rooting procedure is already in place thanks to xda. Done!
52. alouden (unregistered)
Yah, these days a locked bootloader means nothing. Those guys at XDA are awesome.
25. BadAssAbe (Posts: 456; Member since: 22 Apr 2011)
I Love both phones so i choose LG because of its looks, I like simple, flat, squared, phones because they would look better in a case than rounded corners.
i also think the LG Also has a smaller bezel and WiFi Direct.
28. pkiran1996 (Posts: 166; Member since: 22 Oct 2011)
I would have compare the Optimus G with the international Galaxy S3. The article is already biased towards the Optimus G because it has better hardware. The quadcore Exynos found in the international S3 is superior to the dual core model, so why not use it?
33. Angelface77 (Posts: 32; Member since: 10 Sep 2012)
Optimus G is the winner here folks :)
34. 007akshay (Posts: 37; Member since: 20 Jun 2012)
1 doubt i dont know which to buy...? plz help me guys will it be iphone 5,s3,optimus g,note 2,lumia 920.......which will be best plz help me............
35. enGet (Posts: 31; Member since: 19 Oct 2012)
Article = Samsung bais. LG is obviously better. The case and screen of the LG alone should have stomped the S3 into oblivion.
Software can be updated; OSs can be replaced.
Try to replace your cheap flimsy case and dim blue screen in the S3...
38. papss (unregistered)
agreed. I HATE the poly used on the s3. The paint looks like a 80's boat too. It's too bad because I know its a great phone but what I touch ruins it.
39. alouden (unregistered)
Is the LG Optimus coming to Verizon?
40. viper1983 (Posts: 36; Member since: 03 Aug 2012)
so.....which one will crash less often? that will determine which is better.
41. alouden (unregistered)
I keep hearing that LG 's software is crap. I have heard nothing bad about Samsung.
44. thornwell (Posts: 2; Member since: 11 Nov 2012)
I had an LG revolution, which I loved and thought it was the best phone i've ever had.However I recently bought a samsung galaxy s3, and everything has changed this is one of the greatest devices I have ever owned. my experience with the lg was mixed I often found it to lag considerabily to a point of frustration.The display was pretty good however wxga display seems normal like looking how I would imagine looking through the eyes of a senior citizen, while the Samsung display is like looking at a Pisaco.

Le centre ville est située a quelque pas de l'appartement, Mataro est une ville charmante et agréable, les restaurants et les bars sont vraiment sympa !
Zentrale Lage in Mataró in der Altstadt, an der Ecke veganes Cafe, Bioladen, Kneipen und Restaurants. Nette Wohnung, wenn auch etwas hellhörig. Wenn aber noch ein Radio, TV und/oder Wifi vorhanden wären, dann wäre die Unterkunft perfekt
Great week in Barcelona. Appartment was very comfortable and quiet in the little sreet. Near of all in walking (10-15 mn to Rambla, 10-15 mn to playa Barceloneta ) If you like tipycal appartment in the old town, it's a good place. there are many bars of tapas, little place for spend time for breakfast, or dinner. Thanks to Gabie.
My friends and I had a great time staying in this lovely apartment in a really nice part of the city. Hosts Gabie and Miguel were really helpful throughout and always responded to questions very quickly. The apartment is very well equipped and the brilliant and large roof terrace gives excellent views of the city. At night the air-conditioning was good in the hot weather. The nearest metro station is less than 5 mins about and the apartment is also within easy walking distance of Sants station - useful if arriving via the mainline station. I would certainly stay here again and happy to recommend this apartment to others.
The apartment was clean, calm and very nice. Miguel the Host was very friendly and handling the Keys even late at night was no problem. The Terrace was awesome for breakfast in the sun. The Area is very nice too and it is not a big deal to reach all the beautiful spots in BCN within minutes. There are two supermarkets and quite a few nice restaurants around the corner too. So we enjoyed our three nights stay and say muchas gracias to Miguel and Gabie.
The apartment is absolutely recommendable, clean, fully equipped and well located in the hearth of the city. The nearest Metro station is at less than 10 minutes on foot and if you wish to cook in the apartment, supermarkets are everywhere at that place. In other case you just need to go out... some of the best tapas bar of Barcelona are around the corner. Gabie's and Miguel are very friendly people's and we thanks them to having made our stay so comfortable and uncomplicated.
Gabie's apartment is very nice, clean and well located in the heart of the City : D
Gabie's husband waited for us in the flat when we arrived and explained everything that we needed to know. Our stay was very comfortable and uncomplicated!
Thx! : D
Clean. Cute interior decoration. Air Conditioning works well. Miguel is very kind. Available all you need in the kitchen. Excellent situation for tourism: metro, bus… near supermarket and shopping mall. Gabie warned of staircase climbing (no problem for us). Perhaps small shower space for a big guy. Nice apartment for 3 guests, but one of them had better be a child for the single bed size. I would repeat the experience sometime for sure. Thanks, Gabie & Miguel.
in english:
very comfortable and newly refurbished flat for 3 persons, low noise air condition, nice bathroom with enough water pressure. Nearby Metro #5, Entenca, now noise from the streets.
Sehr angenehme und neu möblierte Wohnung für 3 Personen, sehr leise Klimaanlage, schönes Bad mit genügend Wasserdruck. Direkt an der Metro Linie 5, Entenca. Kein Straßenlärm

Tinker with the Arduino Starter Pack
Testing and tinkering with the Arduino Starter Pack
Are you new to Arduino? Open hardware like the Arduino Starter Pack from Adafruit is a great way to start tinkering with this small computer board. It is the ideal kit for beginners to open hardware or anyone looking to start a project using the Arduino microcontroller.
To start, you need a computer from which you will write the code that will run in the Arduino board. This starter pack comes with an Arduino Uno board, which is likely the simplest. The typical programming cycle is to first write your code on the computer, then upload it to the Arduino board via a standard USB cable. The Arduino softwareis available for Linux, Mac, and Windows.
Note: a similar starter kit is available on the Arduino website.
When I started tinkering with my Ardunio Starter Pack, I followed the instructions on the website for installing the packages for Linux (Ubuntu 12.10):
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install arduino arduino-core
At this time, I paused to thank Linux packagers, Scott Howard and Philip Hands, for their awesome job maintaining the Arduino and Arduino-core packages for Debian.
Then, I accessed the Arduino tutorials, where there are plenty of example projects, and picked this LED project.
Steps for an LED Arduino project
- Take one of the red LEDs in the package and connect the short leg (cathode) to the ground pin (GND) of the Arduino UNO board.
- Connect the LED long leg (anode) to the bread broad circuit.
- Take one 1K Ohms resistor (brown, black, red) and connect it to the pin 13 in the Arduino board. If you are new to reading resistor colors, try this Graphical Resistor Calculator.
- Connect the other end of the resistor, to the same row where the LED leg is, on the bread board.
- Connect the USB cable from the Arduino to the laptop.
- Launch "Arduino" application from the command line
- Enter the code below (from the Arduino example page)
/* Blink Turns on an LED on for one second,
then off for one second, repeatedly.
This example code is in the public domain.
// Select the pin number where we will connect
// the LED, and give it a name:
int led = 13;
// the setup routine runs once when you press reset:
void setup() {
// initialize the digital pin as an output.
pinMode(led, OUTPUT);
// the loop routine runs over and over again forever:
void loop() {
digitalWrite(led, HIGH); // turn the LED on
// (HIGH is the
// voltage level)
delay(1000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(led, LOW); // turn the LED off
// by making the
// voltage LOW
delay(1000); // wait for a second
Finally, use CTRL+U to upload the program in the Arduino (or use the File Upload menu). See the LED blinking at 1 second intervals.
The whole process took about half an hour, from unpacking to blinking success!
At this point, I connected the power supply to the board and unplugged the USB cable. The Arduino board continued running the code, and the LED went on blinking happily.
Another great test to try here is the fading LED.
The Arduino board can also read values from electronic components and use them as part of the program logic to drive other components. So, next I tried out the fading LED where a potentiometer (included in the kit) is used to fade our LED friend.
At this point, I got bold enough to venture into modifying a tutorial / example. I tried combining the photoresistor (included in the kit), to change the brightness of the happy LED.
Making the jump, from following tutorials / examples step by step, to trying your own modifications is a great and important step. It is critical to learning in general, and for tinkering with open hardware specifically. This is good to keep in mind if you plan to show others or teach kids. To avoid frustration, and long debugging sessions, it is important to start simple, and to progress by very small incremental steps, gaining mastery as you go.
The Arduino Starter Kit is a great collection of components. This kit ensures that you have what you need to take the first steps into open hardware or tinkering with an Arduino, without any frustration or setbacks. In a matter of hours, get up to speed on open hardware, programming, and tinkering with electronics. Combine the kit with the wealth of information on the Arduino site, and with the support of a very large community, and you're sure to have an enjoyable experience.
Many other introductory materials are available for Arduino beginners too, like these books and video tutorials. For one, the ABC Arduino book provides a set of key schematics that are clearly drawn and brightly colored, with just the infomation you'll need to make wired connections with the Arduino board.

Great post Luis, thanks for sharing your own experiences with the Arduino Board. I love the examples, how you did it, where you found the resource needed. With a background in electronic engineering, it brings back memories of old skills.
Thanks for the informative post. I actually won a starter kit from the site but because I'm involved in a major move and lifestyle change, I haven't had a chance to "play with it". Hopefully once I'm on my boat, I'll have a chance to learn a little something.
would you mind if we translate this article to Chinese and post it on http://www.openfoundry.org, an open source software promoting website in Taiwan? Thank you.

Hello Luis -
Great to see you have caught 'Arduino Fever' :-)
Just started a new company to help accelerate the adoption of Maker/Arduino/IoT into K-12 schools. It would be great to catch up and discuss possibilities.

I'm not sure how to describe Melancholia. It's a movie about the end of the world, yes, but it's not really. It's a film about two sisters and their dysfunctional family, yes, but it's not really that either. Melancholia focuses on the life of two sisters. One of them, Justine, played by Kirsten Dunst, may be suffering from severe depression. The second sister, Claire, seems to have both feet planted totally on the ground. Melancholia is not just the feeling that permeates the family but is the name of the planet sized object that is going to "fly by" the earth... or hit it, which seems more likely. Which sister is better able to deal with the truth when it comes out?
I'm not sure how to describe Melancholia. It's a movie about the end of the world; yes, but you won't see special effects thrown at the screen. I didn't miss them, instead I watched the lives of the people who knew they might very well be dead before the week was out and how each dealt with that knowledge. Melancholia moves slowly, one step at a time. It's not in a hurry to destroy the word nor the people who live there. Life continues, plans are made, take place, and then are broken, lives are torn apart one slow paper cut at a time. It's almost painful to watch, but I had to.
I'm not sure how to describe Melancholia. It's a movie about the end of the word, yes, but .... it's not.

When I started blogging, it was going to be about 'food, movie reviews, people, life - basically anything that I find interesting!' as my tagline says. These days though, it's mainly been a food blog with a few non-food posts thrown in here and there. This has been a good place to save and share my family recipes. Thanks to all the folks who take time to stop by and read my posts. I really appreciate that! A very special thanks to the commenters, for I look forward to your comments and feedback.
Speaking of family recipes, here is my mom's version of vegetable saagu. Saagu is a coconut based curry from Karnataka, that is usually served with pooris, set dosas or rava idlies.
3 cups mixed vegetables, chopped & boiled (peas, carrots, potatoes, beans, capsicum etc)
1/2 cup water (I used water from the boiled veggies)
1 tbsp lime juice
salt to taste
cilantro for garnish
To Grind:
1/2 tsp jeera
2-3 cloves
2" piece of cinnamon
5-6 peppercorns
1/2 cup coconut
1 medium onion
3-4 green chilies (or to taste)
1/5 tsp turmeric
2 tsp poppy seeds
2 tsp dalia or raw rice
For Tadka:
2 tbsp oil
1 tsp mustard seeds
Pressure cook vegetables in a little water for 1-2 whistles. Alternately, you could microwave them for 4-5 minutes on high or boil them on stovetop with water. Strain & keep aside.
Heat oil in a pan. Add the tadka ingredients. Once the seeds start to pop, add the ground masala and fry for 5-6 minutes, until the smell of raw onion is gone.
Stir in the boiled veggies and water. Add salt and lime juice. Bring to a boil.
Transfer vegetable saagu a serving bowl. Garnish with cilantro.
