Nutso ft. Problem & Bad Lucc - Phuk It!
Not featured on our pages since bringing us an exclusive stream of his Behind These Bars EP in September of 2012, Q-Borough emcee Nutso makes his grand re-entrance into the Booth with Phuk It!, a freshly-minted single off his next street album. Here, Reef's punchy, string-laced production bangs in the back as the artist demonstrates the versatility of everyone's favorite four-letter word, telling his foes to go f**k themselves while he f**ks with their girlfriends. Bookending Nutso's defiant bars are guest 16s from West Coast rhymesayers Problem and Bad Lucc. Like what you're hearing? Then be sure to cop the DJ Skee and DJ Nik Bean-hosted Western Union LP next Friday (11/15), when it hits the 'net for free digital download.

Hearing from all of you about your grocery shopping budgets and philosophies not only made me feel good about what we're doing, but it also gave me a lot of great ideas for how to save more, or do things differently, if necessary.
Thanks, guys! Really. Your thoughts were all very, very reassuring - and helpful!
One of the most interesting responses to yesterday's blog post came from my friend and colleague Deborah Stein. Debbie sent me a chart from the USDA, showing what the gov't considers to be the amount a family should/could spend on home-cooked meals per month.
Couple things I took away from this chart:
- It's the government, and they notoriously UNDERestimate how much it costs to feed people (hello, food stamps?) so whatever they say here is right, I know to add way more.
- It's from 1994, and everything has gone up a thousand times since then, so again, I add more money to whatever they say.
- Look how ridiculously low the "low-cost" level is. And the "thrifty" level? Debbie tells me that that's the level they base food stamps allotments on. Seriously? Seriously, gubment?! That's ree-dic. Sometimes I just can't believe how much our society seems to hate poor people.
Anyway, I wanted to give something back to you all for your thoughtful and helpful responses. So in the spirit of feeding our children healthful, tasty, inexpensive meals, here's a recipe I made that was quick, delicious, inexpensive and a huge hit with the kids, me and Lester, too:
|Yummy in everyone's tummy!
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 carrots, coarsely grated (2 cups) [ I used shredded carrots, because it's easier.]
- 1 medium onion, minced
- 1 garlic clove, minced [ I used a little more garlic, because garlic = yum!]
- Coarse salt and ground pepper [Regular salt and pepper worked just fine.]
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 3/4 pound ground turkey (93% lean, dark meat)
- 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons dark-brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 4 whole-wheat hamburger rolls, split
Step 1In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium; add carrots, onion, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4 to 5 minutes.
Step 2Add tomato paste and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add turkey; cook, breaking up meat with a spoon, until no longer pink, 4 to 5 minutes.
Step 3Add tomatoes, sugar, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 12 to 14 minutes. Serve on whole-wheat rolls.
Huge hit! Clair now can even say, "More soppy joe, pees!" That's how much she liked it.
(Note: The recipe was a smidge too sweet for my tastes, even with me adding more vinegar and more Worcestershire [I like my sloppy joes twangy!] so next time I make these, I'll add less brown sugar.)
And Janna, I know this recipe won't help you so much, but I'll try to find something meatless to share just for you! Xxoxx!
Happy eating, all!

City housing officials yesterday said the Rendell administration would provide $3 million in federal aid for next fiscal year to relocate families that still live in sinking homes in Logan.
John Kromer, director of the city's Office of Housing and Community Development, said the money would be taken from an expected $40 million in federal loans that have been designated for the city Commerce Department.
The allocation came after Councilwoman Marian B. Tasco threatened last week to fight the administration's bid for $70.7 million in a Community Development Block Grant to rebuild neighborhoods because none of the money was targeted for Logan.

Lemoyne Borough Council member Roi Baptiste died overnight after being hospitalized with an illness, according to Borough Council President Stacy Gromlich.
"We are extremely sad to learn of his loss," Gromlich said Sunday afternoon.
Baptiste, who lived in Lemoyne for more than 30 years, became a Borough Council member in 2012. He was chairman of Lemoyne Borough Council's sewer committee and sat on council's zoning and ordinance, and administration committees.
Baptiste was a strong supporter of the West Shore Bureau of Fire, which serves Lemoyne and Wormleysburg, and regularly attended borough meetings long before becoming a member of council, according to Gromlich.
"We appreciate all of his years of service to the community and thank him. It has been an absolute pleasure getting to know him," Gromlich said.
Details regarding funeral services for Baptiste were not available.

The defining characteristic of a password field is that it abstracts text as dots. While the intention of this behavior is understandable (it makes users feel secure and protects from prying eyes), the unintended effect is that it creates a usability problem. Users can't tell if they've entered a password incorrectly until after the site's validation informs them. It's like typing with your eyes closed.
The author describes and provides demonstrations to three alternate methods to approaching password confirmation.
Confirming Passwords Is Annoying: Is There a Better Way?

John Boston (Mr. SCV) is gone. By his disappearance, we no longer enjoy his witty and informative information about the SCV. What a huge mistake, which I'm sure was his. Mr. Boston was involved with so many sections of the paper, which is now just bland.
Craig Leener, the sports writer, seems to be gone, too. He combined "story" with a sense of humor. What
happened to him?
Then on to the new Escape. Most of it is the TV Guide (11 to 40 pages). The "News of the Weird" this week
about The Signal employees was not amusing at all, and "Strange but True" each week is a huge waste of space.
I am so disgusted with the whole paper that when I get my next bill (in which the paper has upped its rates but lowered its standards to the ultimate low), I will be changing over to another paper that gives us our SCV news and covers a lot more than what The Signal thinks is interesting enough to mix in with our local news.|
Somebody doesn't get it. What a shame. The only thing I look forward to anymore is the crossword puzzle.

Structures study material for the A.R.E. -Architectural Registration Exam.
Line of Action
Is a line parallel to and in line with the force. The force may be considered as acting anywhere along its line of action.
one force that will produce the same effect on a body as two or more other forces. If the forces have the same line of action, they may be added directly for the resultant.
What do you need to keep in mind when determining resultants?
1. Order of drawing forces makes no difference.
2. Resultant is directed "away" from the origin or starting point.
3. The resultant is concurrent with the original forces. (their lines of action pass through a common point.)
Resolving Forces
Replacing one force with two or more forces that will produce the same effect on a body as the original force. These forces are called components.
Right Triangle Formulas
1. Sin Theta = A/C
2. Cos Theta = B/C
3. Tan Theta = A/B
4. A = C sin theta
5. B = C cos theta
6. CC = the square root of AA + B*B
these basic rules may easily be used to determine the vertical and horizontal components of a force.

What is RSS?
'RSS' stands for Really Simple Syndication. This is used by media sources who want to provide their news to many consumers via different platforms and hardware (ie your smartphone). This allows many different RSS feeds to be aggregated into one customized feed.
How Can I Use RSS?
All you need to take advantage of RSS feeds is a program, app or website. These are RSS Readers. Google has their own Google Reader, which lets you browse and read many RSS feeds right in your Internet browser. Your email program may even support RSS feeds! Microsoft Outlook is one email program out there that supports RSS. There are also many apps for smartphones that will deliver the news you want on the go!

WELCOME to Cheap Buzz, where we eavesdrop as sommelier Marnie Old attempts to teach the joys of wine and fine spirits to Buzz, a guy with no sophistication and not much money. Here's their latest conversation:
Buzz: So Marnie, Saturday is St. Patrick's Day. Are you a green-beer gal? I bet you'd look great with a green tongue.
Marnie: Very funny, Buzz. I prefer Irish whiskey. It's getting more popular every year, and not just in March. People are discovering it's a milder, softer style of whiskey than scotch or bourbon.

This article presents a quick and dirty tutorial to get you up and running and creating applications for Windows CE with Visual C++. If your interested in the basics of Windows CE, see the article titled Microsoft Windows CE: An Overview. This article will focus on Visual C++ for Windows CE. It assumes that you are familiar with Microsoft Visual C++, the leading C++ development tool for the Microsoft Windows platform.
If you have been using Visual C++ to create Win32 applications or components (using Active Template Library (ATL), Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC), or the Win32 API), then creating applications or components for Windows CE will not be that great of a challenge for you. Applications for Windows CE need to be light and fast. The reason for this is to meet the needs of the small portable or embedded devices that Windows CE runs on. As mentioned in the article Microsoft Windows CE: An Overview there are basically three types of devices that Windows CE runs on:
As you can see, the very nature of these devices dictates that applications that run on them use little screen real-estate, have a small code and memory footprint, and be fast. Fortunately for developers, Microsoft built Windows CE with a scaled-down version of the Win32 API. This means that most applications can be written just as you would any other Win32 application or component. You can even use MFC and ATL. There is one catch. Not all the features available in the Win32 API, ATL, and MFC are available on Windows CE. Most of the function calls are exactly the same. Some things such as the C Runtime Libraries sport a subset of the normal functions supported. However, some things such as the Standard Template Library are simply not available. In keeping with the superior support that Microsoft tools provide for developers, Visual C++ for Windows CE has a whole host of wizards, sample applications, and books on line to help you the developer create applications and components for Windows CE.
Visual C++ for Windows CE is simply an add-on to Visual C++ and the Developer Studio that you are already familiar with. The Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is exactly the same, you just need to understand the specifics of your target environment, Windows CE, and the new wizards. When you install Visual C++ for Windows CE, you will have the following Windows CE specific tools and features added to Visual C++:
The new Wizards installed by Visual C++ for Windows CE are valuable tools in your quest to create applications and components for Windows CE. There are four new Wizards added with VC++ for Windows CE (see Figure 1). They are almost identical to the normal AppWizards found in Visual C++ except that they take advantage of Windows CE-specific features. They can help you generate a basic application, dynamic link library (DLL), or component application shell quickly. The new application wizards are as follows:
As Windows CE becomes even more popular, I am sure that VC++ for Windows CE will have even more wizards to aid you in developing applications and components for Windows CE.
Your first Visual C++ for Windows CE application will be a simple application, a WCE MFC AppWizard (EXE) to be precise. This application will have a single view that will have a bitmap painted on it. We will also add a menu item that when clicked will evoke a dialog. This dialog will contain one of the Windows Common Controls, a progress control.
Download the sample application source code.
To start your first Windows CE application we will generate a shell using the WCE MFC AppWizard. The numbered list below will step you trough this process:
When you finish, you will see the New dialog box as seen in Figure 3.
5. Press the Next button.
WCE MFC AppWizard (exe) - Step 1 of 4 will appear as seen in Figure 4. Notice that the selections are similar to the MFC AppWizard except that there is no Multiple documents selection.
WCE MFC AppWizard (exe) - Step 2 of 4 will appear as seen in Figure 5. There are several options on this page. You can add support for Windows Sockets, ActiveX Controls, Windows Help, and Printing if your target supports Windows CE 2.1. You also can choose the type of command bar that you wish to support. For this exercise we will accept the defaults.
WCE MFC AppWizard (exe) - Step 3 of 4 will appear as seen in Figure 6. You can choose to include generated comments, an option that I highly recommend. There is no such thing as too much documentation. There is also an option to link dynamically or statically with the MFC Library. Accept the defaults.
WCE MFC AppWizard (exe) - Step 4 of 4 will appear as seen in Figure 7. This page gives you an opportunity to set the base class for the view. It also gives you an opportunity to set your file names. Accept the defaults.
The New Project Information dialog will appear as seen in Figure 8. Just like all Visual Studio AppWizards the wizards give you a final chance to look over your choices.
When the application is completed building, you are ready to go on to the next section.
Now that we have a basic application, let�s work to draw a bitmap in the client area of the view of our application. First lets import a bitmap resource into the application and call it IDB_WINCE_BITMAP. A bitmap is available with the source code for this application that you can download from this site: Download Zipped Source Code for this Tutorial. The bitmap is in the \WCEFirstApp\res\ directory and is titled wince.bmp.
Once you have imported the bitmap, use ClassWizard to add a handler for the WM_ERASEBACKGROUND message. Then in the function stub for the WM_ERASEBACKGROUND message insert the following code:
BOOL CWCEFirstAppView::OnEraseBkgnd(CDC* pDC)
// Define Our Variables //
CBitmap bmp, *poldbmp;
BITMAP bmpStruct;
CDC memdc;
CRect bmpRect, clientRect;
// Let's Paint the Background Black for a Nice Contrast with the Bitmap //
// Set brush to desired background color
CBrush backBrush(RGB(0,0,0));
// Save old brush
CBrush* pOldBrush = pDC->SelectObject(&backBrush);
// Get the Size of the CLient Area
// Fill the Client Area Using our new Brush
pDC->FillRect(&clientRect, &backBrush);
// Now Lets Blit the Bitmap //
// Load the bitmap resource
// Figure out the Coordinates to Center the Bitmap
bmpRect.left = clientRect.left + (clientRect.Width() - bmpStruct.bmWidth)/2;
bmpRect.top = clientRect.top + (clientRect.Height() - bmpStruct.bmHeight)/2;
bmpRect.right = clientRect.right - (clientRect.Width() - bmpStruct.bmWidth)/2;
bmpRect.bottom = clientRect.bottom - (clientRect.Height() - bmpStruct.bmHeight)/2;
// Create a compatible memory DC
// Select the bitmap into the DC
poldbmp = memdc.SelectObject( &bmp );
// Copy (BitBlt) bitmap from memory DC to screen DC
// Restore the DC to it's Original State
return TRUE;
This is the source code necessary to set the background of the client area to black and then Blit our bitmap into the center of the screen. Next we will create and add our menu item and dialog.
Now create a dialog box with the Win32 Common Control, the Progress Control. But first lets start by adding a menu item and a message handler to evoke our dialog. The numerical steps below will guide you through it.
We now need to add a dialog, place the controls, and bind the dialog resource to a class.
You now have all the prerequisites set up to add in your code. The progress indicator and dialog that we have created are not very practical, but serve the purposes of this short tutorial well. When the dialog box is evoked from the Run WCE First Dialog menu item, the user will see the dialog. When the Start button is pushed, the progress control will step from 0 to 30000 and upon completion display a standard Windows Message Box. Pressing Close will dismiss the dialog.
To set up the progress indicator you must set the range and step in the dialog�s WM_INITDIALOG message handler. Using ClassWizard, add a message handler for the windows message WM_INITDIALOG. In the OnInitDialog() function add the code to set the step and range of the progress indicator as shown in the following code fragment:
BOOL CWCEFirstDialog::OnInitDialog()
return TRUE; // return TRUE unless you set the focus to a control
// EXCEPTION: OCX Property Pages should return FALSE
Next you need to increment the progress control once the user presses the Start button. Once the progress indicator finishes, a message box needs to be displayed. The following code demonstrates how to accomplish this:
void CWCEFirstDialog::OnStartBtn()
for(int i = 0; i <=30000; i++)
AfxMessageBox(_T("Progress Complete!!!"), MB_OK);
You are now ready to build and test your application. Set the Active Configuration to Win32 (WCE x86em) Debug. Select Build menu and choose the Rebuild All item. Once the application is done building Visual C++ will take care of copying the executable to the emulator and evoke the emulator. Be patient, it takes a minute or so to load. You should see the Windows CE Emulator as shown in Figure 2.
Select the My Handheld PC icon and you will then see the Windows CE Explorer as shown in Figure 9. The icon for the WCEFirstApp should be there in the window. Double click the icon and the WCEFirstApp will load and appear as in Figure 10. You should now see the bitmap you told the application to draw on a black background. Go to the Tools popup menu and select the Run WCE First Dialog menu item as shown in Figure 11. The WCE First Dialog should display. Press the start button and watch, as seen in Figure 12, the progress indicator increment the progress. When the progress indicator is finished, a message box will appear as shown in Figure 13.
Congratulations! You have just completed your First Windows CE Application. As you can see, creating applications for Windows CE using Visual C++ is just as easy as creating applications for Win32 using Visual C++. Most of the things are done exactly the same. Hopefully, this tutorial has given you a gentle introduction. I encourage you to continue learning about Windows CE by exploring the other areas here in the Wireless Developer Network. In the next section, examine the other resources that are available to increase your knowledge about Windows CE and handheld computing in general.

You can't point all you want, but it doesn't validate your argument. The existing open source ecosystem relies heavily on dynamic libraries, which means that source code is *not* known at compile time in general. This is a technical issue, not a political one. The use of closed vs. open source doesn't alter the conditions under which compilation occurs in any particular programming language. What *is* true is that existing languages that use template-like mechanisms have moved to a space in which the *library* source (the part that must be specialized) is exposed. The situation in CLI is conceptually similar, differing slightly in that the code is exposed in a lower-level, common intermediate form. > You have to start somewhere though, and at least you can achieve your > technical goals with that initial compromise. All prelude types could > automatically specialize where desired, so that's already a big win. > Actually, they can't. The problem is analogous to the template specialization problem in C++. You would need to state explicitly which specializations should be pre-built in the libraries. The problem with this is that you don't know in advance which type class instances you will be invoked with, so it's hard to know what to hand-instantiate. > This leaves the boundaries between dynamically linked modules as the > only costly transition. Why is this a huge problem? > Huh? I don't think you are thinking this through. I write a library function: def faux-add(a, b) = { a + b } which is typed as Arith 'a => 'a x 'a -> 'a and I put that in a library. I basically can't compile this function at all until I know the instance of Arith, which isn't known until dynamic compile time. This means that I need the entire optimizer built into the dynamic linker. The non-robustness implications of that are quite frightening. > > Perhaps the problem was really trying to co-opt type classes for > laying > > out record structures.... > > > > No, no.

Yes, but this had nothing to do with layout per se. It was confirmation of a label's bindability within a record. The fact that this could *later* be turned into a concrete offset at a much lower level of abstraction was a pleasant side effect, but it wasn't the purpose of the mechanism. Because BitC specifies layout, the fields of a record cannot usually be viewed as unordered. In particular, subtyping by subsetting is frought with peril. > >From your description, you wanted enough information to resolve real > field offsets.

BoA Offers Hybrid Credit in Pilot Program
|Email Print
You might be familiar with the recent changes to the hybrid vehicle tax credits but did you know that Bank of America is rolling out a pilot program to over 21,000 employees where they'll give employees $3,000 if they buy a hybrid and live within 90 miles of Charlotte, Boston or Los Angeles? That's pretty nice! If you bought a Prius, you would get $3150 back from Uncle Sam and then another $2,250 (assuming you're in the 25% bracket and BoA's $3000 gift is considered regular income) for a total of $5,400 off your bill!
Bank of America is not the only company offering incentives to employees buying hybrid vehicles. The Los Angeles Times reports that although the bank's program could become the largest in terms of workers eligible, the rebate is smaller than those offered to employees by three California firms: Google (Research) and software developer Hyperion Solutions (Research), which the paper reports both offer $5,000 for purchases; and privately-held Integrated Archive Systems, which the Times reports has a $10,000 rebate plan.

I do not know what sort of computers the rest of you have access to, but for me upgrading my system is an impossibility at the moment. The nicest PC I have only has 4GB of RAM, so I am very constrained in how much I can tie together per synth or Bundler collection.
I know that the synther is only a 32-bit app and therefore even in 64-bit versions of Windows, it should only be capable of consuming a maximum of 4GB of RAM, but of course in my case the OS is using some of the 4GB that I actually have in order to run the computer. With PMVS being as RAM hungry as it is, I get the feeling that this might still be useful to those who have a considerably larger amount of RAM.
I have thought before that it would be great to have some sort of way to easily put your computer into 'synthing mode', if you will, that would close all processes and underlying operating services/daemons that were unnecessary to complete the computer vision - some way to simply express to the OS, "This synther process is literally the only thing that I want to run. Give it every shred of RAM that is not necessary for keeping Windows alive and responsive.".
In Photosynth's case, network access is a must, but outside of that I'm not entirely sure what all is good or safe to stop.
I run Windows 7, but I would love to see tutorials for Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows xp, OSX, and specific distributions of Linux.
My concern is only that when I boot into my desktop, currently, something like between 34% to 40% of my RAM is immediately consumed by the operating system just sitting there idling, even after I kill the Explorer process once and relaunch it.
I know that disabling Windows Aero is a good RAM saver. I believe I tried just starting up in Safe Mode with Networking once, but I don't believe that Photosynth wanted to run when I did, so I'm not sure what it was missing then or even whether that is typical results.
For MacOSX, I've never even tried to run Bundler or CMVS/PMVS, but I have absolutely no idea how to manage system resources on OSX at all.
In any case, if someone has deep knowledge for how users such as myself can devote every possible scrap of RAM that we have to Photosynth, Bunder, etc. during scene reconstruction, I would love to see this sort of thing move forward as I think it could benefit users across all operating systems who cannot afford more RAM or a new motherboard to install more RAM.
To some degree, this heads into simple system maintenance territory - using SysInternals Autoruns to stop Java, Flash, iTunes, Adobe Reader, etc. etc. speedlaunchers from running at startup, but I don't know that I would always want to boot my desktop in such a stripped down state that I would like to have to create the largest reconstructions with.
Ideally, I would like a simple solution that could toggle off or restart the computer with nothing but photogrammetry essentials when desired, but then go back to a normal startup by default.
Lacking that, I'll happily take a tutorial that simply lists everything that ought to be running for best performance of the synther/Bundler/etc. It's easy to just go switching off services in Windows and assume that they aren't necessary, but I might end up turning off something that is not essential to Photosynth operating, but would benefit me - some sort of hard disk management or something.
In any case, I await your advice and tutorials.
P.S. Can anyone tell me with any certainty what the maximum amount of RAM is that is given to each 64-bit process on different operating systems? I recently read something which I took to mean only 8GB were given per 64-bit process. If I'm understanding correctly, this would mean that even if I had 192GB of RAM for my 64-bit version of Windows, PMVS2 could still only consume 8GB of it itself, unless it were to spin up multiple processes. Am I understanding this correctly?
Update: Thanks to Kjellis85, I see that what I was remembering as 8GB of virtual memory per 64bit app was actually 8TB per app! 8TB of RAM... if only it were possible before the decade comes to a close! ツ

Taiwan News, Staff Writer
Ger Yeong-kuang, a member of the top government watchdog, presented the motion against the Executive Yuan, reasoning that its publications should use 'Republic of China' for the country because that was the official name mentioned in the Constitution.
Despite existing rules, the government had introduced the name 'Taiwan' in some of its recent publications, confusing the public's understanding of the nation's status, the motion claimed.
No matter who or which area was the intended public for a government publication, it should always use the official constitutional appellation, according to Ger's motion. The Control Yuan member reportedly found numerous examples over the last two years of government publications listing 'Taiwan' in the place destined for the mention of the country of origin.
The motion also noted that the documents used the name 'China' several times when they mentioned the People's Republic of China. The practice went completely against official government rules, which say that the preferred appellations are 'Mainland China' or 'Communist China,' the motion said.
The government needed to use the official name at all times to protect the nation's image and its international standing, the motion said.
The administration of President Ma Ying-jeou has recently come under fire for trying to reduce the amount of attention concentrated on Taiwan in the education curriculum.
The government is planning to remove elements of Taiwan history, geography and social studies from textbooks for high schools, reports said.
Former President Lee Teng-hui on Wednesday condemned the plans, saying they were evidence of a lack of love for Taiwan. He pointed out that when he was president in 1997, he fully supported the introduction of a new textbook series titled "Knowing Taiwan," which told students more details about the country's background.
"When you are asked where you are from, of course you say you are from Taiwan, you are Taiwanese," Lee told reporters.

I'm only 26, I should want to spend my time in stylish bars and clubs but sometimes I'm just searching for somewhere to chill out. Sometimes I want to escape to a magical secret garden filled with exotic flowers and gorgeous smells.This is exactly what I found at Heaven on Earth, a herbal garden in Pano Akourdaleia in the Paphos District of Cyprus.It's a place to learn about natural health and herbal medicines and beauty. The owner, Caroline Evans, is a herbalist, naturopath and nutritionist and offers consultations to people wishing to improve their health naturally. Many of her clients are expats living in Cyprus but the word is spreading to locals too who see her to prevent and cure illnesses.Whilst I'm not 100% convinced about herbal medicine, I do believe we can prevent illness through a healthy diet and lifestyle. I loved looking around the organic garden and seeing all the herbs drying and waiting to be formed into a healthy concoction.The herbal garden also has a café you can visit and sip away the day. The menu is filled with healthy treats like gluten free cakes, chilli chocolate cake, pink grapefruit and almond cake or vegan raw food carrot cake. Cakes come with a suggested herbal drink that compliments it perfectly.So grab a herbal tea, have a stroll around the gardens and enjoy the views… You can find out more about Heaven on Earth on their website or Facebook page. 4 Responses Amresh Kumar July 29, 2014 wow!! what a beautiful place and wonderful lines. Reply Christine @thetraveloguer July 29, 2014 This looks like such a nice place to spend a day. The herb garden and herbal drinks sound really interesting, and I'd love to try all if those cakes!:) Reply Kathryn Burrington July 29, 2014 Sounds a wonderful place to escape the rat race, relax and unwind.

Abstract: The augmentation of tabletop multi-touch surfaces with physical objects is a well visited approach for the realisation of tangible user interfaces. Interaction with objects on a multi-touch surface is often limited to spatial manipulation and common marker-based techniques for object tracking typically provide little more than position and orientation information for the objects. We present a novel, low-cost, approach for tracking objects on a camera-based multi-touch surface. Our approach utilises modulated Infrared light to provide a bi-directional communication channel between objects and the surface and thereby presents the opportunity for much richer forms of interaction with physical objects.

Everyone has to change their panties when we're discussing the new Minnesota Vikings stadium. And rightfully so. That thing screams BonerBot all over it. It's glass facade, cathedral presence, and re-envisioning of the east end of downtown Minneapolis is pretty fantastic. But who the H decided all of this crap? Sure, the architects at HKS designed the stadium, but they were given directions on how to build it. And who did those directions come from?
Believe it or not, they came from your average folk. Or at least kind of. Random Misters and Missus from around the Twin Cities community who both liked and didn't give a Twins Baseball about the Vikings or football in the state, but who wanted to see a huge new public structure made to accommodate the city of Minneapolis. And this is what they said.
Writer Judith Yates Borger writes books. She occasionally writes for MinnPost as well, which is where this stadium information comes from. She presents her article as an insider's view on how the stadium was designed, which is kind of true. It's "insider" in the sense that your stupid ass wasn't invited onto this committee to give your input, but it's not really "insider" in that it sounds like some real random people were invited to join the committee.
Per her own words:
|The committee appears to be pretty well balanced in terms of gender and ethnicity. We community organizers, small- and medium-sized business owners, five city council members, the mayor, a county commissioner, a sample Vikings' fan and a smattering of architects have spent a fair amount of energy trying to figure out what Minnesotans want in their stadium.
So unless you own a business, GTFO. But it's interesting to see what these people who certainly have a lot invested into the health and sustainability of Minneapolis wanted in a new stadium. Judith points out some of the good things and the negative things that have come with the stadium design, per this committee request.
Some of the positives that were requested and implemented by the architects:
|It's bold, iconic and cosmopolitan, much like the exteriors of the Guthrie Theater, the Walker, the Weisman Art Museum, to name a few. By moving loading docks under the structure HKS made it a 360-degree building, snubbing no one. The shape and outside materials take on the character of the Mississippi River. The 90-foot glass pivoting doors opening toward the downtown skyline combined with all kinds of venting and air circulation on nice days will give the feeling of outdoors to anyone inside.
OK, not bad. It's multi-use, available to people who are or aren't sports fans, accessible on game days, and much more. So that's pretty sweet. But not everything was hit on. Here are some of the items which are of concern that the committee made note of but weren't implemented exactly:
|Although the word tailgating does not appear in the wish list, Rybak has said the almost nine-acre park adjacent to the stadium would welcome Vikings fans in all their purple glory. The problem is Vikings fans like their baked beans served from the tailgate of a truck that has hauled coolers, a grill, lawn chairs and a bean-toss game to the site where it can stay parked during the game. No one's going to be able to drive a Ford Explorer, or any other vehicle, on the lush lawns for that bona fide tailgating experience.
That is a good point. The stadium seems to have only discussed building an albatross of a parking garage, which no one can/would tailgate in, and the other "open areas" are all for stupid pedestrians with their stupid legs, walking like they are free. Who can park a short bus on there? NO ONE, that's who.
Then there is perhaps the biggest issue that was overlooked:
|Then there's the matter of birds. Will eagles guided by the nearby Mississippi River as a flyway unwittingly smash into the sky high iconic peak? Will the super plastic stadium roof become a filthy mess? Anyone who has tried to keep a skylight clean knows that what birds fly droppings do too.
A STADIUM COVERED IN BIRD SHIT!! We've made a huge mistake.
Anyway, check out the article over on MinnPost for the whole thing. There are more details of interest. Then return to the comments and let us know what else you would have liked to see with the new Vikings stadium.

Hollywood stalwart Joan Fontaine, best known for her roles in director Alfred Hitchcock's 1939 Rebecca and her Best Actress Oscar-winning role in his 1940 film Suspicion, died Sunday at her northern California home, according to several reports. She was 96.
Details of her death were not immediately available.
In addition to playing a mousey spouse in both the Hitchcock films, first alongside Laurence Olivier and then to Cary Grant, Fontaine's other well-known movies included 1943's The Constant Nymph, which got her a third Oscar nomination, 1944's Jane Eyre with Orson Welles, 1952's Ivanhoe with Robert Taylor, and 1957's controversial Island in the Sun with Harry Belafonte.

But it was Cary Grant who picked up young Jennifer at school, who read to her, taught her life lessons and saved every photo, souvenir and scrap of paper that the two of them shared for the 20 years he was in her life. He died, at 82, in 1986.

Tom Chapin
To the extent that he wasn't overshadowed by his late brother, Harry, Chapin has been largely categorized as a children's performer by virtue of such projects as his TV series Make a Wish and his LP Cabbage Patch Dreams. As a folksinger, though, he is at least his brother's equal. Certainly his songs are less prone to melodrama than Harry's were, and this album shows he knows what adult life is about, too, with such tracks as Just a Woman, Song for Bonnie (Bonnie being his wife) and Small Business Blues, an anti-import political song written by Howard Bursen. The LP also includes one of Harry's ballads, Remember When the Music. Chapin's instrumental backing is spare, notably Walt Michael's hammer dulcimer and Eric Weisberg's (and Chapin's own) banjo. This is '60s-style folkie stuff, modest and intimate, which is not to be confused with something old fashioned. Hearing a quiet singer such as Chapin sing a quiet romantic song such as Let Me Back into Your Life is still one of the more serene pleasures of pop music. (Flying Fish)

Best... introduction... ever.
Okay, not really, but that opening line is priceless.
So begins Low G Man, a little-known semi-classic from Taxan that puts you in the shoes of a man who, at full strength, can jump nearly two screens high! (Take that, Mighty Bomb Jack!) I've been curious about this one for a long time; when I was a kid, I had an old back issue of Game Player's that did some pretty extensive coverage of it. Now that I've had a chance to play through it, I can honestly say that I was both pleased and disappointed; pleased because it has some neat ideas, and disappointed because it didn't do enough with them. Like 8 Eyes, Low G Man is one of those games that could easily elicit divided opinions, depending on whether you choose to embrace its subtle strengths or its obvious flaws. I'm personally inclined towards the former, although maybe that's because of some of the other crap I've subjected myself to as of late.
If you don't read the manual, the plot's not going to make any sense. Who are "they," and why do I care about going to some robot-producing exploration planet to stop them? If it's just like any other robot-producing exploration planet, why does its destruction really matter all that much? I guess we'd miss out on a lot of beautiful sunsets that way...
Apparently, though, the antagonists are warmongering aliens that have reprogrammed the planet's facilities to produce war machines, with which they plan to wipe out humans throughout the galaxy. Low G Man, a soldier trained to fight under low-gravity conditions, has been sent in to stop the threat with a varied arsenal of weapons and, of course, the ability to jump really, really high. You'll need both to get through the game's five worlds and put a stop to the alien menace once and for all.
The first thing you'll notice when you start playing is that the frame rate is incredibly choppy. It becomes tolerable after awhile, because it's at least consistent throughout most of the game... well, except for one spot about halfway through where everything sped up for a moment. That's right, the *entire game* is plagued by chronic slowdown, and we know where we've seen that before...
Thank *goodness* this is better than Dr. Chaos, though, and at least I don't have to punch walls to find the actual levels. And aside from framerate issues, Low G Man's graphical presentation isn't bad; it's kind of gritty, and there are some weird goofs that cause the status bar at the bottom of the screen to turn garish colors on a few levels, but it gets the job done, at least.
Once you get past any qualms with the presentation and start playing, though, you'll find that the weapon mechanics are pretty creative, setting Low G Man apart from most side-scrollers of the day. You start out with an EMDP (Electro-Magnetic Disruptor Pixel) pistol and a spear; press B to fire the pistol, and hold up or down before pressing B to activate the spear. Your pistol only shoots left or right, and your spear only thrusts up or down; this keeps you from having to press another button to switch between your two weapons, which, believe me, is convenient when you're in the middle of a heavy boss fight.
What makes this setup interesting, though, is that your pistol does not actually kill enemies; it only stuns them, leaving you plenty of time to finish them off with your spear. Doing so, however, decreases your chances of getting a power-up from an enemy; if you kill an enemy while it's unfrozen, it always gives you an item, whereas frozen enemies only drop something a fraction of the time. It's a neat system that balances risk and reward, and holding off on your EMD pistol can reap dividends - provided your enemies don't decide to drop nothing but score-boosting icons. Bosses take several hits to freeze, but become more susceptible as you wear them down; if you can stun them in one hit, you know they're almost dead.
The rest of the weaponry is strangely ordinary by comparison (although still pretty useful); you can collect fireballs, wave shots, boomerangs, and exploding mines that fly in a short arc in front of you. All of these come from specific enemies that actually *use* those weapons - a neat touch, since it feels like you're actually stealing weaponry directly from your enemies. Each weapon icon gives you three ammo for that weapon, and once you've collected enough, your weapon power will increase, up to a maximum "rank" of three. This rank will remain consistent even if you use up your ammo or die; only when you get a game over do you lose your special weapons, and your rank with them.
Not all enemies carry special weapons, though; the rest of your foes randomly drop one of an assortment of other items when defeated, including EMD pistol upgrades (culminating in a three-way shot), spear upgrades (which increase range), score icons, blue potions (which restore a bar of health), jump height upgrades, and temporary invincibility. These upgrades, unlike your special weaponry, go away when you lose a life, so there's incentive for self-preservation. Sometimes you'll get a red potion, which takes off half a bar of health; these are particularly annoying, since you'll be forced to drink it if you're standing on top of an enemy if you kill it. I've never been fond of items that "reward" you by taking health, but when they're random drops in a side-scrolling setting and your primary method of defeating foes involves being close to them when they die, it seems kind of unfair.
Anyone who's played Ironsword did the same thing, but somehow it was worse there... perhaps because of the jankier controls and constantly respawning enemies. The only significant control issue here is that your character skids a little after walking for awhile or landing from a jump; if you're really picky, you may also complain that running (which requires you to double-tap a direction) is a hassle to activate and kind of useless. As far as respawning, enemies actually do the opposite in Low G Man; if you scroll off-screen far enough, regular enemies will vanish, never to reappear again. This may seem like a convenient exploit, but considering how handy those power-ups are, it's best to take them on; sometimes I've gone out of my way just to kill an enemy, often at the risk of health (or even a life).
Aside from the red potion thing, there's another inconvenience that carries across all weapons and powerups. Whenever an enemy drops one, it doesn't land on the ground or hover in midair; instead, it flies up in the air a little before falling down, passing through solid floors on the way down before vanishing into oblivion. If you aren't in the right position to grab an item once its spawns, consider it a lost cause; this is sure to cause you to miss out on upgrades several times throughout the game, and while it's never absolutely essential to grab them, it's a pain in the butt to see them go - and believe me, you will.
A few foes commandeer special vehicles, and by freezing them you can kill the driver and use the vehicle yourself. There are three types: the Walker, which has unlimited missiles and can jump two screens high (hold "down" while jumping and press A again on the ground); the Hovercraft, which shoots mines and can ascend continually by pressing A repeatedly (although falling is a little on the slow side); and the Spider, which can kill enemies by stomping on them and is capable of clinging to ceilings (press down on the ground, jump, and hold up until gravity reverses). You don't take damage while you're in a vehicle, but each hit you sustain takes away five of your thirty seconds of fuel, and when they're gone, so is the vehicle. (You can also bail out early by pressing SELECT.) These make for yet another neat addition to the game, and can help you reach new areas even when you're low on jump upgrades.
The combat is pretty cool at first - it's certainly original, and for some reason mercilessly skewering a stunned foe feels visceral and gratifying. Imagine if in Metroid, Samus had a spear to go with the Ice Beam, and every time you froze a Geemer or a Ripper, you could stab it repeatedly until it explodes in a mess of pixels. It's kind of like that, except you have the Ice Beam from the start... and the High Jump Boots are a random drop from an enemy.
Unlike Metroid, however, all of the levels play out pretty straightforwardly, funneling you through a bunch of regular enemies until you reach the boss. *Every* level has a boss at the end (not just the last level of a world), and getting to fight so many of them keeps the pacing fresh. The boss of 1-3, Metal Head, is particularly neat - he takes up two screens, and to defeat him, you have to climb up his body by freezing portions of it and using them as platforms, take out the turrets on his shoulders, and stab his head until he explodes. It's not that hard, but it's a neat setpiece that takes advantage of the game's core mechanics; not only can you use the pistol, but it's a lot easier to climb up if you have some jump upgrades.
As the game goes on, though, the originality starts to wear off a bit. Some of the later levels are pretty repetitive, reusing the same chunk of level over and over and not taking advantage of the mechanics very often. Sure, you'll be using the pistol/spear combination throughout, but aside from killing enemies and rescuing the occasional prisoner, there's not that much to do. You'd think that the low-gravity jumping and special vehicles would open up opportunities to hide secrets all over the place - granted, there are a few hidden areas, but not nearly as many as they could've included. I've wondered, in fact, if taking the Metroid approach and going for a more open-ended layout would have made for a more interesting game; as it stands, the lack of permanence of your power-ups limits the possibilities they could have taken with the level design, and making most items drop randomly from regular enemies doesn't help either.
Some of the later bosses feel kind of same-y, too; there are a couple more giant constructs that you have to climb through, but unlike Metal Head, they feel less like weird level-enemy hybrids and more like plain levels with a small enemy tucked away inside. Some foes are just plain tiresome to kill if you run out of special weaponry (freeze, stab, freeze, stab ad infinitum), and most of them are pretty small, with the mid-bosses sometimes being larger and more exciting than the ones at the end of a world. World 5 is a complete cop-out; the first level is a recycled boss with different graphics and a few cohorts, and the second is a bland exercise in repetition that send you through two or three minutes of looping terrain to build up your weaponry for the final boss. The final boss itself is kind of neat, at least; you'll need to take advantage of your varied weaponry to take out all of the boss's weak points, and if you run out, a few good ol' stabs of your spear will do the trick in most cases.
After the game halfway redeems itself with the final battle, you're treated to a rather long ending sequence, which teases you with greyscale images of "two secret levels" and starts you on the "second quest." Apparently a lot of Taxan games are like this; both this and 8 Eyes have three total "quests," as do several of their other titles. Granted, the additional playthroughs do little more than increase the difficulty (and enemy health... which could make the later boss fights even more of a chore), but at least Taxan cared enough to give the player some extra replay value. And despite how bland I've made Low G Man sound, I wouldn't mind taking on the extra playthroughs; the game is short enough that it never entirely wears out its welcome, and the stun 'n' spear mechanic still remains interesting throughout (certain bosses aside).
Luckily, you don't have to play all three quests in one go; you get a password after beating the first one, and at the start of each world as well. The game doesn't save your score, weaponry, or power-ups, but since you get infinite continues anyway, this is more of a mild inconvenience than a genuine problem. The password screen itself feels a bit goofy, though; somehow the controls for selecting the letters feel like they're reversed, and since they don't scroll smoothly, it's a bit disorienting at first. Oh well - better the password screen than the actual game.
The music is surprisingly good - not spectacular, but pretty solid for something that didn't come from Capcom or Konami. It doesn't try to squeeze many special effects out of the NES sound chip, but it has a strong forward momentum and underlying rhythmic groove, not unlike some of the faster tunes from the Mega Man series. There are a few iffy tracks, though; one of the boss tunes has a lot of high-pitched content and loops repeatedly, which starts to grate on the ears after awhile.
Low G Man doesn't deserve any trophies for excellence, but I'd still give it a little sticker with a smiling star, at the very least. The primary weaponry is creative and original, but the "low-G" jumping mechanics were never realized to their full potential - probably in part because your upgrades come from random drops rather than fixed events - and the level designs feel "phoned in" towards the end. Even so, I'd still recommend it; I can't guarantee you'll like it, so don't spend too much on a copy. If you're like me, though, you may find yourself pleasantly surprised... even if you're simultaneously disappointed.
Where/when purchased: McKay, late 2009
Cost: $2.45
Date Started: 7-31-2010 ~6:30 PM
Date Finished: 8-2-2010 1:34 PM
Space in the NES notebook: I needed a couple of extra lines to hold the passwords (which, thank goodness, were only four letters), in addition to the "second quest" password and one of the hints for finding one of the two secret levels...
FAQs/assistance used: I had to check the NintendoAge manual scan and a Youtube video to figure out how to get past part of level 5-2... apparently, the Walker's super-jump is a requirement for beating the game.
Favorite part?: Perhaps the battle with Metal Head, which embodied everything that was good about Low G Man. If only they had put in more setpieces like this...
Difficulty: Kind of hard, but not really because of the infinite continues. I imagine the "second quest" and "third quest" runs are much tougher - all I know for sure is that your enemies take more damage.
Play again?: Of course! You heard the endgame screen... my mission isn't over yet...

A local veteran of the war in Afghanistan was brutally beaten last month, but police still don't know why.
Bayonne police were called at 10:53 a.m. on April 21 to a residence on East 12th Street near Avenue E, where they found 24-year-old Shaheryar Qureshi lying on grass in front of the house, according to reports.
Qureshi was drifting in and out of consciousness, and bleeding profusely from a wound near his left eye, police reports said, adding that he was taken to the Jersey City Medical Center for treatment.
Police have made two arrests in connection with the incident. Flenzy B. Carrigan, 20, and Xristian O. Pantojas, 29, both of East 12th Street, were both charged with aggravated assault and released on summonses, police said.
But police say they still don't know the motive for the attack and say Qureshi has been uncooperative.
The victim's father, Shahzad Qureshi, is co-owner of Jersey One Car & Limousine Service in Bayonne. One of Jersey One's limo drivers was killed in a crash on Tonnelle Avenue in Jersey City in March.
Shahzad Qureshi told The Jersey Journal that his son, a veteran of the U.S. Navy who served in Afghanistan, told him he was visiting one of the men accused in the attack when another man entered the apartment and both men attacked him.
The father did not share any more information about the incident.
Police said the arrests were made based on information from "witnesses," but added the victim has not returned their calls to provide more information about the incident.

To supply honey that is both tasty and nutritious, the hives are kept far away from urban and intensively farmed areas where polluting factors would damage it. Furthermore, the honey is processed at very low temperatures - a technique created and patented by the Rigoni family. A further assurance that the nutrients are unharmed. Laboratory certification tests are a further guarantee that the honey is free of any chemicals. Forest Honey is made from the honeydew collected in summertime. It is dark amber in color and remains consistently liquidy over a long period of time. It is a perfect breakfast spread or can be added to natural yogurt and milk. It also matches perfectly with Asiago cheese.

Spanish police have released footage of the moment a woman fainted and fell onto the tracks at a Madrid subway station.
The footage showed an off-duty police officer jumping onto the rails to rescue her, pulling her to the opposite side of the tracks as a train approached.
The train stopped when the driver saw people on the platform signalling, and realized something was wrong. The 52-year old woman was attended to by a doctor who was at the station.
