Good morning everyone! Are you ready for Day 2?!
Hangover, you say? No worries, we've got fresh coffee ready for you! And some beautiful Bavarian accordion music:
But no, he is not the mystery speaker we had planned for the #smashingconf6 event. It's only a foretaste of what's to come! ;)

"We are getting away from pages and starting to think of small layout systems." — Ethan M.
"We're starting with the smallest piece of design. With every responsive process we work on we are building a new map of the Web. But we are only just beginning. Our map is far from complete." — Ethan M.
"Something is always lost in translation. There is always a gap between a thing and the representation of it." — Ethan M.
"How can we design more sustainably for the Web?" — Ethan M.
"Maybe some problems can't necessarily solved with more code. And maybe we can invite our users in our design and let them help us solve our problems." — Ethan M.
"We are designers and builders, but most of all we are map makers." — Ethan M.
"Let's start a discussion about sustainability in web design!" Really important stuff from @beep292716 at #smashingconf1931911871851831811781761661621591561541511491471441411381351321251211191151101081031009893858077747164605753494642403430262318117. pic.twitter.com/sWKzCEzCBC31

"Use whatever you need to tell your story… Actually holding type in my hand taught me how type reacts and made me understand type in whole different way. What if I could get people understand the physicality of type? What if I could get them that same idea?" — Jason S.M.
"Good design happens around good constraints." — Jason S.M.
Jason S.M. refers to Wally Wood's wisdom: "Never draw anything you can copy, never copy anything you can trace, never trace anything you can cut out and paste up."
All these different ideas & approaches by people deeply caring about their work really seam to form a bigger picture today at #Smashingconf16412838

Designers use type families all the time, but what is the logic behind developing larger type families such as the ever-growing Skolar type system? David Březina discusses various approaches of making type families functional, easy to use, and cross-platform… and also how to stay sane while doing that! ;)

"I'm really bad at artistic freedom. I don't know what to do if I don't have my guidelines." — David B.
"Sans are like T-Shirts. They are pretty much all the same." — David B.
"What is great type for, if you cannot use it easily?" — David B.
"How do you test your type faces before you buy them? Do you actually test them? Did you hear of temporary licenses…? Or, what we did is we thought of test fonts. So you can just go and get the font from us and test how it works." — David B.

Natalie Downe is on stage telling us all the story of Lanyrd90 from a two-week proof of concept to a fully-fledged startup, as well as the lessons learned along the way… Lessons like:
- If you are not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you have launched too late
- Learn how to take advice
- Circle yourself with a circle of trust
- Raise money to last for 18 months

"Trust your gut instinct." – Natalie D.
Nicolas Gallagher starts out talking about CSS Application Architecture with some definitions:
- Architecture – a plan about how you're going to structure your application. Your design principles.
- Framework – the implementation of an architecture. Like scaffolding it gives you something on which you can build out your application.
- Toolkit – a collection of pre-built patterns that you assemble into an application.
"The freest human is the one who never has to choose." Nicolas G cites John Gray in this article.96

Apple Blueberry Pie Bars.
Blueberry pie without the hassle of making a homemade pie crust!
Happy (almost) 4th of July, everyone. Festive blueberries mixed with apple pie – it doesn't get more American than that.
I made these bars over the weekend after I spotted a blueberry sale at the grocery store. I love fresh summer berry season! You could also make today's bars with frozen blueberries. I have a huge bag of those in the freezer as we speak. Frozen berries make wonderful Blueberry Sweet Rolls!
Today's bars are just like blueberry pie, without the hassle of making a homemade pie crust. Rather, the crust is made from whole wheat flour, oats, sugar, and butter. The crust's job is two-fold, it's the foundation for the juicy bars and the crumble topping. That fruity center is a homemade blueberry pie filling topped with a peeled and sliced Granny Smith apple. The tart green apple is a wonderful contrast to the sweet blueberry pie filling. An untraditional fruit pairing and I love it!
You'll make the filling first on the stovetop. Combine 3 cups of blueberries with sugar, orange juice, and cornstarch. You may use frozen or fresh blueberries – meaning you can make them year round! Cook down the blueberries with the sugar and juice, before adding the cornstarch. Bring it to a boil then simmer. The cornstarch will be mixed with a few teaspoon of water before adding. Mix it until it resembles the consistency of milk. If you throw the cornstarch right into the blueberry mixture, you'll end up with white chunks everywhere. Not pretty. Make sure you mix it with water beforehand, as noted in the recipe below.
Once the cornstarch is mixed in, allow the blueberry mixture to simmer on low as it miraculously thickens into a chunky blueberry jam. And it's TASTY. Allow the blueberry filling to cool completely. I stuck it in the refrigerator (to speed things up, obviously) until I was ready to use it.
As the blueberry filling cools, make the crust. Flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and melted butter. That's it! Mix it all together and set aside 1/3 of it to crumble on top. Press the remaining 2/3 of it into an aluminum foil lined square baking pan. Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Top with the cooled blueberry filling. Then, top with 1 peeled and sliced apple.
Crumble the leftover crust on top of the apple and bake! The bars took about 40 minutes in my oven. The first time I made them, it took about 35 minutes. So, bake it for anywhere between 35-45 minutes – just until the topping is lightly browned.
Remember, these are blueberry pie bars. They're gooey, juicy, crumbly, and messy. So, you'll still need a fork to enjoy them. Unless you want to stain your fingers and favorite white tank.
The bars taste like berry crumb pie with a bit of apple mixed in. The apple taste is faint, but its slight tartness is there. The buttery cinnamon flavor in the crust/topping work so well with the juicy blueberries. The filling "seeps" into the crust, so things get extra gooey as you take your first bite. Unbelievable!
And who says these pie bars only have to be for dessert? Oats, orange juice, blueberries, apple — I smell a nice accompaniment to my morning coffee. And feel free to use any berries you like. Strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, or even peaches, pears, and nectarines.
PS: try them with a huge scoop of melty vanilla ice cream!

Apple Blueberry Pie Bars
Yield: 16 bars
Blueberry pie without the hassle of making a homemade pie crust!
- 3 cups (390g) blueberries, fresh or frozen (do not thaw)
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (60ml) orange juice
- 4 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 large Granny Smith apple, peeled and sliced
Crust + Topping
- 1 and 1/2 cups (190g) white whole wheat flour (or mixture of whole wheat and all-purpose) (measured correctly)
- 1 cup (80g) old-fashioned rolled oats (or quick oats)
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 10 Tablespoons (150g) butter, melted
- Make the filling first by combining the blueberries, sugar, and orange juice into a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil. Allow to boil for 1 minute, then whisk for 1 minute. Mix the cornstarch with 3-4 teaspoons of warm water, until it resembles milk (if you don't mix with water, you will have white chunks in the filling). Add the watered down cornstarch to the blueberry mixture. Simmer on low heat for 3-4 minutes until the mixture has thickened. Remove from heat and allow to cool. I poured mine into a bowl and refrigerated it until I was ready to use it.
- Make the crust: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line an 8x8 or 9x9 square baking pan with aluminum foil. Set aside. Combine the flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon together in a large bowl. Toss with a large spoon. Add the melted butter and mix until the mixture is crumbly. Press 2/3 of the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Press so that the crust is tight and even. Place in the oven for 10 minutes, which will allow it to set.
- Remove crust from the oven after 10 minutes and spread the blueberry filling on top. Top with the peeled and sliced apple, as shown in the photo above. Top with the remaining oat crumble.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes until the topping it lightly browned. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 30 minutes on a wire rack. Transfer to the refrigerator to chill for 3 hours before cutting into squares.
- Make ahead tip: Bars will stay fresh in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5 days. You can freeze the bars for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.

I hate to be the one to say this, but…I followed this recipe to a tee and the crumble topping/base was extremely dry. I make a lot of fruit crumbles/squares of this type and I generally love your recipes, but this one was very disappointing! I think that part of the problem is that white sugar is used in the base/topping rather than brown. I also think it would be better to cut in the butter cold rather than stir it in melted. And for what it's with, the blueberry filling was totally delicious!
Hi Sally.
Firstly, I love your website!
Second, when you suggest using pears, how did you mean we should do that? ( I have a bunch of pears to use up. Also I have frozen blueberries, but no apples)
Also, do you think this would work with coconut oil instead of butter? Any idea about changing amounts?
Thanks in advance!
Hi Sally,
I was thinking about using this filling recipe with a different kind of crust/crumble topping for a BBQ next weekend.
Do you know or have you experimented with any liquid other than orange juice in the filling? We never have any around my house and I am not a big fan of it myself. Would lemon or lime juice be an acceptable substitute if I perhaps increased the sugar slightly?

Emperor scorpion
|Emperor scorpion
|Scientific classification
|P. imperator
|Binomial name
|Pandinus imperator
(Koch, 1842)
The emperor scorpion, Pandinus imperator, is a species of scorpion native to rainforests and savannas in West Africa. It is one of the largest scorpions in the world and lives for 6–8 years. Its body is black, but like other scorpions it glows pastel green or blue under ultraviolet light. It is a popular species in the pet trade, and is protected by CITES.
The emperor scorpion (Pandinus imperator) is one of the largest species of scorpion in the world, with adults averaging about 20 centimetres (7.9 in) in length and a weight of 30 g.[2] However, some species of forest scorpions are fairly similar to the emperor scorpion in size, and one scorpion, Heterometrus swammerdami, holds the record for being the world's largest scorpion at 9 inches (23 cm) in length.[3] The large pincers are blackish-red and have a granular texture. The front part of the body, or prosoma, is made up of four sections, each with a pair of legs. Behind the fourth pair of legs are comb-like structures known as pectines, which tend to be longer in males than in females. The tail, known as the metasoma, is long and curves back over the body. It ends in the large receptacle containing the venom glands and is tipped with a sharp, curved stinger. Scorpion stings can be categorized as mild (similar to a bee sting) to severe to humans depending on the species. Most people are not affected by the Emperor Scorpion's sting, though some people may be allergic to scorpion stings in general.[4] Sensory hairs cover the pincers and tail, enabling the emperor scorpion to detect prey through vibrations in the air and ground.[5]
When gravid (pregnant), the body of a female expands to expose the whitish membranes connecting the segments. The emperor scorpion fluoresces greenish-blue under ultra-violet light.[6][7]
They are known for their docile behavior and almost harmless sting; they do not use their sting to defend themselves when they are adults, however, they may use it in their adolescent stages. They prefer to use their pincers to crush and dismember their prey, their exoskeleton is very sclerotic, causing them to have a metallic greenish black color.
They are often confused with a similar genus (heterometrus), and are one of the most famous scorpions.
Habitat and distribution[edit]
The emperor scorpion is an African rainforest species,[8] but also present in savanna. It is found in a number of African countries, including Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Togo, Liberia, Mali, Nigeria, Senegal and Sierra Leone.[7]
This species inhabits both tropical forest and open savannas. The emperor scorpion burrows beneath the soil and hides beneath rocks and debris,[5] and also often burrows in termite mounds.[9]
Feeding Habits[edit]
The emperor scorpion usually preys on insects and other terrestrial invertebrates, although it will occasionally eat small vertebrates such as mice and lizards. Adult emperor scorpions use their large pincers to tear apart prey while juvenile emperor scorpions use their stingers to paralyze prey.
Conservation and human impact[edit]
African Emperor scorpion venom contains the toxins imperatoxin[10] and pandinotoxin.
P. imperator is a popular scorpion in the pet trade, which has led to such over-collecting in the wild that it is now a CITES-listed animal.[1]

The emperor scorpion can reach an overall length of more than 8 inches (20 cm). It is erroneously claimed to be the largest living scorpion in the world. However, some species of Forest Scorpions are its equal. [...] Emperor scorpions have the same venom as a bee.The Guinness Book of Records claims a Forest Scorpion native to rural India, Heterometrus swammerdami, to be the largest scorpion in the world (9 inches [23 cm]).

- The primary and secondary mirror is aluminized in a vacuum chamber and then over-coated with hard quartz (SiO4) and additional layers of Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) and (SiO4). The coatings offer extra protection to the surface while optimizing the clarity and sharpness of observed objects.
- The rocker box mount comes with smooth Teflon bearings and a tension clutch for altitude.
- Accessories include a 9x50 straight-through finderscope, two eyepieces, and a 2" Crayford-style focuser with an 1.25" adapter.

The definition of music as "sound" wrongly suggests that music, like all natural phenomena, adheres to the laws of nature. In this case, the laws would be the acoustical patterns of sound such as the (harmonic) relationships in the structure of the dominant tones, which determine the timbre. This is an idea that has preoccupied primarily the mathematically oriented music scientists, from Pythagoras to Hermann von Helmholtz.
The first, and oldest, of these scientists, Pythagoras, observed, for example, that "beautiful" consonant intervals consist of simple frequency relationships (such as 2:3 or 3:4). Several centuries later, Galileo Galilei wrote that complex frequency relationships only "tormented" the eardrum.
But, for all their wisdom, Pythagoras, Galilei, and like-minded thinkers got it wrong. In music, the "beautiful," so-called "whole-number" frequency relationships rarely occur—in fact, only when a composer dictates them. The composer often even has to have special instruments built to achieve them, as American composer Harry Partch did in the twentieth century.
Contemporary pianos are tuned in such a way that the sounds produced only approximate all those beautiful "natural" relationships. The tones of the instrument do not have simple whole number ratios, as in 2:3 or 3:4. Instead, they are tuned so that every octave is divided into twelve equal parts (a compromise to facilitate changes of key). The tones exist, therefore, not as whole number ratios of each other, but as multiples of 12√2 (1:1.05946).
According to Galilei, each and every one of these frequency relationships are "a torment" to the ear. But modern listeners experience them very differently. They don't particularly care how an instrument is tuned, otherwise many a concertgoer would walk out of a piano recital because the piano sounded out of tune. It seems that our ears adapt quickly to "dissonant" frequencies. One might even conclude that whether a piano is "in tune" or "out of tune" is entirely irrelevant to our appreciation of music.

A driver is in custody after authorities said he tried to escape from them by driving through yards in Seminole County.
Officials said the Sanford Police Department attempted to pull the car over when it fled from units in the 1200 block of French Avenue on Sunday night.
The driver, later identified as 23-year-old Dontavious Rashad Watkins, cut through several yards in an attempt to elude authorities, according to deputies.
The sheriff's helicopter was overhead and was able to watch as the occupants bailed from the car and ran.
Watkins was eventually caught hiding behind a house on Main Street. He's charged with fleeing and eluding and driving with a suspended license.

Quick GuideHIV AIDS Facts: Symptoms and Treatments
Is there a vaccine for HIV?
To date, there is no effective vaccine for HIV. Several attempts have been made to make a vaccine but all have failed. This remains an active area of research.
What research is being done to find a cure for HIV?
The search for a cure for HIV began as soon as the virus was identified. HIV is probably one of the most studied viruses in history. Scientists have a detailed knowledge of the virus' genes, proteins, and understand how it functions. In fact, the combinations of drugs that make up ART therapy were chosen because they attack different parts of the virus life cycle, causing it to malfunction. However, ART is not a cure and the drugs must be taken for life. Even when viral levels are low, the virus is still present in the body.
One of the problems with finding a cure is that the virus can persist in cells throughout the body and potentially hide in areas that are difficult for drugs to reach, like the brain. New research is helping us understand how to effectively treat viruses in these secluded areas of the body. In addition, those infected cells that persist in the body are being studied to determine how they can be stimulated to produce virus and/or be targeted for clearance from the body by novel therapies.
Where can a person find information about clinical trials for HIV and AIDS?
There are a large number of studies currently under way that involve HIV-infected patients. These studies are registered in a central database that can be searched at http://clinicaltrials.gov.

The Wild Dark Flowers
Published in July 2014.
This is the second in the 'Rutherford Park' series. We meet the Cavendish family again, and their downstairs staff in the late spring of 1915. The war in France has become a monstrous drain of human life and all those at Rutherford are affected by it; from Harry, the heir, fighting with the Royal Flying Corps, through to the sensitive David Nash enlisting in Kitchener's New Army and steeling himself against what is to come. Passions run deep throughout the house - from Octavia, struggling to be a dutiful mother and wife despite her love for John Gould, to the Jack Armitage's adoration of Louisa, the eldest Cavendish daughter. Across the Atlantic, we also see John Gould make a life-changing decision.....
Hello everyone.
The third in the Rutherford series - THE GATES OF RUTHERFORD - is published in 1st September 2015. It continues the story of the Cavendish family through World War One and opens with the wedding of the youngest daughter, Charlotte. How realistic are Charlotte's misgivings? What is happening to the Cavendish's son, Harry, in France? And where is Jack Armitage, who volunteered to join? We are in April 1917 and the war rages; close to Rutherford, at Catterick Camp, a large prisoner-of-war camp has been established.
For the character of Frederick Rheinhardt, I've drawn on my mother's early memories of these prisoners of war, who were drafted in at harvest time to help in the fields, and whom my grandmother (who had lost her eldest son in the Battle of the Somme) used to offer food and drink to, saying 'They are all some poor mother's son'.
I tried to imagine a prisoner who was as kind-hearted as her, who finds himself trapped in a role he had never wanted and never imagined. Frightened and wounded, how will he affect Rutherford?
Meanwhile Lord and Lady Cavendish have problems of their own. Has their strained marriage survived? Why is Octavia Cavendish perpetually in London?
I hope you relish the doings of the household, and enjoy reading the story as much as I've enjoyed writing it.
All my back titles writing as Elizabeth McGregor have been published by Open Road Media.
I think that Open Road do a wonderful job with their covers, don't you?
Please go ahead and order from openroadmedia.com. I hope you love them.

SXSW sights, sounds reverberate
Austin, Texas - I saw at least twice as many bands as I had hours of sleep, but my first trip to the South by Southwest music conference, the industry's biggest networking and showcasing event of the year, was worth the exhaustion.

Milwaukee's new arts season satisfies diverse range of tastes

A three-star night at the Iron Horse
Coming over the 6th St. viaduct last night, there were already hints that it'd be an interesting night. The big Harley-Davidson anniversary fete might be a few weeks away still, but more riders than usual were sidled up side-by-side at the Harley-Davidson Museum.
Bike night at the Iron Horse Hotel, just up the road and a home away from home for riders, was roaring. Sure enough, there were more leather-clad and tattooed bikers in "the yard" than most weeks. »Read Full Blog Post
Alchemist's 'Burden of Being' Has Promise, Needs Work
Aaron Bradway (Michael David Stoddard) is at the top of the world: college-bound class valedictorian and boyfriend to Princess (Rachael Zientek), class diva. While Princess is human and Aaron is a puppet monster resembling a young Yoda, that's no barrier when one is starting out and confident of success.
But even the title of Robby McGhee's "The Burden of Being" — the new puppet musical that opened Thursday night at Alchemist Theatre — hints at what we all learn, somewhere between high school and 30: Life, as one character informs Aaron, throws us curve balls. »Read Full Article

:banghead: :banghead: ....pretty much says it all.
January 14, 2003, 03:19 PM
It looks like Agricola has had a grand total of 4 posts (2 were removed) and no threads started.
I can't say that I agree with him most of the time but I do appreciate the civil debate that he's brought to TFL and the insights in seeing subjects discussed with just enough heat to give light and not burn the place down.
January 14, 2003, 03:27 PM
Well maybe the UK will finally get its head out of its arse soon. Its not even the fact that you can't own a handgun there, but your rights to self defense is severely restricted. Basically you're just supposed to sit there and let yourself be a victim, and if you are a passer-by you aren't supposed to do anything except call the police. Doesn't that just fly in the face of everything logical?
What few friends I have in the UK can't stand this stance the gov't has taken. They aren't even gun buffs, but they feel powerless to protect themselves no matter what. I won't even visit there because I know if I were the would be victim of a mugging, if a gun weren't involved, I damn sure would protect myself or someone else if they needed it.

Searching the firing line under agricolas name is a good way to referance the whole us vs.uk argument. We can post link's to it now on other boards, without the provoking flame wars.

I havn't seen him on his usual UK board either.
I wonder if he gave up. Agricola is here on THR. I saw a thread earlier today that he'd posted on.
After debating him on a few TFL threads, I doubt that he's ever given up on anything.... :D

I believe that Ms. Malcolm is an American. If so, it's rather odd that a Brit paper published her.
January 14, 2003, 09:48 PM
Having read their comments, I would say that
Pretending that you live in a perfect world
most definitly does not mean that you DO live in one.
I would think that everyone on the Board would be over joyed if there really weren't any violent crime and we had no NEED to be ready to protect ourselves and loved ones.
there has been violence in the world since the fourth person hit earth there is no reason to believe it will stop in today's time.

You don't get it. Red and Blue has nothing to do with this post. Because, OBVIOUSLY, he had a Mankey before fighting Brock. Fire Red and Leaf Green were Gen III, thus Charmander knows Metal Claw. You are bringing up red and blue when it has no relevance here, and furthermore calling everyone casuals because of it. Everyone else understands that this comic is referring to Gen III, except you.

Catch live bluegrass music at the Wales West RV Park and Light Railway Tuesday and Friday evenings. Whether you're a fan of banjo and washboard tunes or merely curious, you and your family and friends will be entertained all night long.
Looking for something to do that your entire extended family can enjoy while staying at a Gulf Shores area beach house or condo rental? Pile into your car and take everyone to the Wales West RV Park and Light Railway, where local and regional musicians will be playing sweet bluegrass, gospel and classic country music every Tuesday and Friday evening between October and March. All they ask is that you make a $5 donation, which will not only cover the cost of the entertainment, but free refreshments and a train ride to boot.
Bluegrass by the Tracks is a tradition at the RV park, and visitors as well as residents come from far and wide for an evening of live music and good old-fashioned hanging out with kind-hearted strangers. Local artists like the Chestang Family Band and Down Home have already played in this intimate concert setting.
As an example of what you'll hear, two talented musicians - John Robert Bowyer and Junk Box Mike - call themselves Old Truck Revival. They have dubbed their musical style "newgrass," and they liken themselves to Old Crow Medicine Show. Songs like "Mountain Girl" and "North Alabama" will have you and your loved ones on your feet and dancing in no time.
Before you head to the concert, take the family to Big Daddy's Grill, located just a few minutes from Wales West. This homestyle restaurant will make sure that you get your fair share of fried crawfish, shrimp baskets and incredible fried oysters. Be sure to leave room for the chocolate lava cake, which will undoubtedly tie you over for your evening of dancing and/or singing along.
Bluegrass and country shows are just a few of the many musical events happening along Alabama's Gulf Coast, so keep your eyes open for the acts hitting up the area while you're staying at a beach house rental in Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, Fort Morgan (Alabama) and Perdido Key (Florida).

South Aiken and University of Georgia grad Kevin Kisner finished his first round at a major strong, but he still posted a 5-over 75 at the U.S. Open on Thursday.
Starting his round on the back nine, Kisner bogeyed Nos. 12 and 15 before carding a double bogey on No. 16 to make the turn at 4-over. He had eight pars and a bogey on the front, the lone blemish coming at No. 2, and he finished his round with seven straight pars.
Kisner will hope to carry that measure of momentum into todays second round, which he will begin at 12:41 p.m. off the first tee at Pinehursts No. 2 course.
Kisner and the rest of the field will be keeping an eye on the 36-hole cut line that eliminates all but the top 60 and ties. After one round, Kisner was three shots outside that mark.
