FF Mister K exhibition in Berlin
On Friday, 21st September, over 80 graphic designers from in and around Berlin met at the Mota Italic Gallery for the opening of Julia Sysmäläinen's exhibition, 'Mister K and Franz Kafka'. Charting the tale of the 'Real Travels of Mister K', the exhibition focuses on how Franz Kafka's handwriting developed and evolved over time, as well as on Sysmäläinen's process behind reincarnating it in digital form as the FF Mister K typeface.
The exhibition is both two-dimensional and three-dimensional. Featured work includes a number of recent books whose covers or jackets were designed with FF Mister K, as well as jewellery, prints, objects and typographic installations. Sysmäläinen produced a small booklet to accompany the exhibition, 'Too long to tweet' which features texts from many of Berlin's most active type designers (and Twitter users).

The exhibition was originally scheduled to run through the end of October, but, due to its popularity, has been extended until 9th November. The Mota Italic Gallery is located in Berlin's Prenzlauer Berg district, and is open Mondays to Saturdays from noon to 6 pm.permalink

text: I've been having issues with this hive since day one. It's my only hive. I really wish that I would have started with two. I think it would have made things a lot easier. I did a hive inspection yesterday. I didn't see my queen and I didn't really notice any eggs, though I'm not that good at finding them yet. I did find some larvae that looked like they were just a few days old though. Last week during my inspection I had an ok number of capped worker cells and this week there doesn't really seem to be hardly any. This hive is 6 weeks old. This time around I taped the inspection so I could show you what I see when I'm looking at them, in the hopes that someone could help me better understand it. Many of the cells are filled with a clear liquid that I am assuming is the sugar syrup I've been giving them.

UTSA students at Biotechnology, Sciences and Engineering Building
UTSA continues leading in degrees to Hispanics
By Kris Rodriguez
Public Affairs Specialist
(June 7, 2006)--The University of Texas at San Antonio ranks No. 3 in the nation in the number of undergraduate degrees awarded to Hispanic students and No. 11 nationally in the number of master's degrees awarded to Hispanics according to the May 2006 edition of The Hispanic Outlook in Higher Education magazine.
The magazine surveyed the 2004-2005 academic year graduation rates of the Top 100 predominantly Hispanic-serving colleges and universities in the United States and Puerto Rico.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy

UTSA earned the No. 3 national ranking for awarding undergraduate degrees with 1,514 Hispanic students of the total 3,258 students earning bachelor's degrees, representing 46 percent of the graduating class.
UTSA ranked No. 11 nationally for awarding master's degrees with 304 Hispanic students of the total 855 receiving degrees, representing 36 percent of the class.
"As UTSA continues its drive toward becoming a premier research university, we remain focused on our mission to provide access to excellence," said UTSA President Ricardo Romo. "These findings, once again, demonstrate UTSA's commitment to better serving our students traditionally underrepresented in higher education."
Each year, The Hispanic Outlook in Higher Education magazine reports on Hispanic student participation across all major fields of study. For the ninth time in 10 years, UTSA ranked first in the biological sciences with 144 undergraduate degrees awarded to Hispanics.
Two UTSA academic programs ranked higher than the previous year. The architecture program in the UTSA College of Architecture improved from fourth to second place, awarding 33 undergraduate degrees. The mathematics program in the UTSA College of Sciences improved from eighth to seventh place, awarding 15 undergraduate degrees to Hispanics.
Overall, the University of Texas System dominated the first tier of the Top 100 institutions with UT Pan American, UT El Paso, UT San Antonio, and UT Austin placing among the Top 10.
The UTSA program undergraduate rankings and number of degrees awarded in the disciplines are:
1st, Biological Sciences: 144
2nd, Architecture: 33
2nd, Business and Marketing: 434
3rd, Multi/interdisciplinary Studies: 166
4th, Protective Services: 110
5th, Psychology: 124
7th, Mathematics: 15
7th, Hispanic Studies: 10
8th, English Literature: 55

This year's New England Press Association (NEPA) annual awards dinner forsook the Park Plaza's rubber chicken for the upper-scale poultry fare at the Marriott Copley Place. And the food's not the only reason we're glad we went.
In all, the Phoenix Newspaper Group harvested 23 prizes for works published between August 2006 and August 2007, including 16 first-place wins. To top it all off, the Boston Phoenix won the coveted George A. Speers Newspaper of the Year Award, considered the prize of prizes in the NEPA contest.
Allow us one brief excessive brag. The judges' comments regarding our Speers win said: "After 40 years, the Boston Phoenix remains a model for alts, bristling with attitude and loaded with coverage . . ."
The comments accompanying our General Excellence grab were even more flattering and flowery: "The paper zigs and zags with nary a yawning take on situations."
Thanks, we needed that.
Congrats to our combined staffs for their individual and collective contributions to this outstanding year. And we did it all without Tom Brady.

Thanks Brigite it was great to stay in your apartment. Clean, beautifull, close to the city center!
I spent a few days in Brigittes nice apartment in Ruid, Ostfildern together with my son. We did not spent much time in the apartment, but it is a nice apartment with plenty of space for two (and probably also for more persons. It was clean with a nice kitchen and a very nice bathroom with an enormous bathtub and the toilet in a separate room. We were taken care of from the minute we arrived by Brigittes friendly neighbor who showed all the rooms and facilities. Ruid is a very nice little town with a combination of peace and all the necessary shops and the U-bahn a short walk from the apartment. I can highly recommend the apartment.
A very nice apartment in a very good location. Exellent for short-term accomodation in Stuttgart. The owner is very friendly and outgoing lady. Thank you!
This is a very nice, clean apartment, we easily slept 7 people and the kitchen was well equipped. It is in a good location for transport links to the city. The owners were flexible with arrival times which was really helpful as we were arriving in 2 groups. I would recommend this apartment and would stay again. Thanks Brigitte!

University of Colorado Boulder Provost Russell L. Moore today announced that a search committee has named Robert "Bob" Boswell the sole internal finalist for the post of vice chancellor for diversity, equity and community engagement.
"I want to thank the committee and its chair, Associate Vice Chancellor for Research Patricia Rankin, for its hard work and its selection of Bob Boswell as our sole finalist," said Moore. "Bob's long ties to CU-Boulder faculty and staff, his historical commitment to serving underrepresented students, and his willingness to work with all campus constituents make him a strong choice for vice chancellor."
Boswell will meet on Dec. 14 with campus constituent groups to outline his vision for the position, and Moore will solicit feedback from the groups on Boswell's candidacy following the meetings.
Boswell has been occupying the post since July 2010 in an interim capacity. He is a professor of molecular, cellular and developmental biology with a long and distinguished career at CU-Boulder.
He became an assistant professor in MCDB in 1986 and a professor in 1991. In addition, he was a teaching and graduate research assistant while completing his doctorate at CU-Boulder from 1975 to 1981.
He was a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator from 1994 to 1999 while retaining his CU-Boulder faculty appointment. Prior to returning to Boulder after graduate school, Boswell was a staff fellow with the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences at the Research Triangle Park in North Carolina from 1982 to 1986 and a Damon Runyon-Walter Winchell Postdoctoral Fellow at Indiana University in Bloomington from 1981 to 1982.
Boswell became the principal investigator of the National Institutes of Health Initiative for Maximizing Student Development, or IMSD, in 2003. The IMSD program encourages educational institutions with fully developed research programs to initiate or expand innovative programs to improve the academic and research capabilities of underrepresented minority students.
Boswell earned a bachelor's degree in biopsychology from Marietta College in Ohio before earning his doctorate in molecular, cellular and developmental biology from CU-Boulder in 1981.
The vice chancellor for diversity, equity and community engagement oversees CU-Boulder's total diversity efforts, including recruitment and retention of students and faculty, campus climate issues and developing best practices to promote diversity within the academic, professional and social environment of the university.

Bitcoin's Plunge: The Beginning of the End?
Today began like any other day for bitcoin, which was trading between $230 and $240 on Mt. Gox just 10 hours ago. Suddenly, its price surged as high as $266--not necessarily unusual for the bubble virtual currency. Then Bitcoin started falling...and falling...and falling. When it came to a rest, it was trading at $200.
Of course, that's still nearly twice the $107.50 it was worth on April 2, when I wrote this post--and people who bought then are sitting on a hefty profit. And just last week, bitcoin plunged more than 20% after a DDOS attack on MtGox and the shutdown of Instawallet, which holds customer bitcoins, only to surge higher once again.
But anyone who bought as a speculative bet along the way has to be asking themselves: Is this the time to sell? I know one person who bailed out last week well above $100 because he just couldn't take it anymore, even though he had bought back in the low double-digits.
Bitcoin's plunge also has potential real-world consequences. One of the fascinating elements of the bitcoin phenomenon is the way that the virtual currency is "mined" just like a real commodity such as gold. Mining requires computers to solved complex algorithms, which then gives the user the right to a certain number of bitcoins, and as more computers work on the tricky problems, the more difficult they become.
Now companies are selling machines designed entirely for this task--and perhaps becoming something of a bubble themselves. One, known as Butterflylabs, is selling 50 GH/s bitcoin miners for $2,499--though don't expect to get one anytime soon. The company has a waiting list that stretches on and on and on. Its 1,500 GH/s machine is sold out and bidding on such machines has hit $45,100 on eBay--despite not having shipped.
But will anyone want to pay those prices if bitcoin keeps plummeting? Bitcoin needs miners. Their computer power put to work solving the puzzles, for instance, helps ensure the network has enough oomph to protect the system from attacks.
At some point, a less volatile bitcoin will be needed to ensure its success.
UPDATE: Bitcoin has dropped to $150 since I published the post. ZeroHedge has nicknamed it bitcrash.

Lucid Imagination expanded its horizons today with the beta release of a new Big Data platform that merges two distinct but complimentary capabilities – Big Data processing/analytics and Big Data search.
LucidWorks Big Data combines Lucene/Solr, the open source, scalable search technology, with Hadoop in one platform for building end-user applications that leverage both structured and unstructured data sets. It includes support for Mahout and R for machine learning and advanced analytics, respectively.
The platform is optimized for cloud deployments but can also be deployed on-premise, and includes a secure REST API for application integration and administration, according to the company.
The company envisions typical deployments to play out this way:
With LucidWorks Big Data, Lucid Imagination equips technologists and business users with the ability to initially pilot Big Data projects utilizing technologies such as Apache Lucene/Solr, Mahout and Hadoop, in a cloud sandbox. Once satisfied, the project can remain in the cloud, be moved on premise or execute within a hybrid configuration.
If you're not familiar with Lucid Imagination, the company commercializes the open source Lucene/Solr distributed search platform. When I spoke with CEO Paul Doscher back in January, he told me his company's mission is to make Lucene/Solr enterprise ready for application development purposes by adding ranking and relevancy capabilities, better user interface tools, and tighter security to the open source core.
Our secret sauce, Doscher told me, is that we have optimized Lucene/Solr to be more efficient. Specifically, the LucidWorks platform allows users to search large volumes of Big Data on less hardware than vanilla Apache Lucene/Solr and/or proprietary enterprise search technologies which translates into lower cost, he said.
With the new platform, Lucid Imagination is clearly attempting to beef up its capabilities to be viewed as a more comprehensive Big Data application development platform rather than just a Big Data enterprise search-based application development platform. That's a good move, as increasingly the value of Big Data is coming from applications built on top of the infrastructure – be it Hadoop, Lucene/Solr or other approach — rather than the plumbing itself.
Below check out Doscher when he visited theCUBE at Strata Conference back in March.

thats going to be the excuse to ban home builds--most likely.
Just seen this article where they want to ban printable firearms, someone made one that fired 6 rounds before something broke, so they want to ban it already
Click, print, shoot: Downloadable guns possible
By JASON DEAREN, AP
SAN FRANCISCO Downloading a gun's design plans to your computer, building it on a three-dimensional printer and firing it minutes later. No background checks, no questions asked.
Sound far-fetched? It's not. And that is disquieting for gun control advocates.
Rep. Steven Israel, D-NY, said the prospect of such guns becoming reality is reason enough for the renewal of the Undetectable Firearms Act, which makes illegal the building of guns that can't be detected by X-ray or metallic scanners. That law expires at the end of 2013.
At least one group, called Defense Distributed, is claiming to have created downloadable weapon parts that can be built using the increasingly popular new-generation of printer that utilizes plastics and other materials to create 3-D objects with moving parts. University of Texas law student Cody Wilson, the 24-year-old "Wiki Weapons" project leader, says the group last month test fired a semiautomatic AR-15 rifle one of the weapon types used in the Connecticut elementary school massacre which was built with some key parts created on a 3-D printer. The gun was fired six times before it broke.
Though no independent observer was there to verify the test, a short video clip showing the gun firing and breaking was posted to YouTube. Federal firearms regulators said they are aware of the technology's gun-making potential, but do not believe an entire weapon has yet been made.
"What's chilling is that last month a group of kids used a 3-D printer to actually manufacture (key parts) of the AR-15 and fire six bullets," Israel said. "When the (act) was last renewed in 2003, a gun made by a 3-D printer was like a Star Trek episode, but now we know it's real."
Even with gun control pushed to the top of the national political conversation, Wilson is steadfast about reaching his goal of making a fully downloadable gun. This weekend, he and his partners plan to print four new lower receivers the segment of the gun that includes the trigger, magazine and grip. He keeps three of these AR-15 parts one black, one white and another green in his tidy student apartment in Austin, TX.
Wilson acknowledged there still are many technical hurdles to creating a complete gun from a 3-D printer and provided no estimate on when his goal might be reached.
Special Agent Helen Dunkel of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, which helps enforce gun laws, said the agency is familiar with Wilson's project. She didn't offer an opinion but noted there is nothing illegal about making many types of guns at home. Exceptions would be high-powered weapons like machine guns and those not detectable by airport scanners.
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
thats going to be the excuse to ban home builds--most likely.
Let's see you print gunpowder, primers, and heat-treated steel parts first...
"3-D printing" is the "nanotech" of the 21st century; a combination of wishful thinking and bullshit.
Being able to print a plastic AR lower is one thing. I'll be more impressed when they can print precision metal parts like bolts and barrels...
It's like the "plastic guns" flap in the 1980s. No plastic barrels, bolts, or ammunition ever showed up. "It's like deja vu all over again!"
Enforcement, NOT Amnesty!!!!!!
"If theyre going to come here illegally, apply for & receive assistance through a corrupted Government agency encouraging this lawless behavior, work under the table & send billions of dollars each year back to their families in Mexico, while bleeding local economies dry, protest in our streets waving their Mexican flags DEMANDING rights, while I have to press 1′ for English, then they need to be shipped back to where they came from!" -Chad Miller
The one I saw was a pistol. Fired twice and came apart. Wasn't pretty. Low powered, too; like a .22cal.
LOLI had visions of some hippie slaving over a kiln making pottery based slides, and frames. LOL.Yeah I know that printing a gun isn't going to happen for a while, it's just they are trying to point their fingers at anything they can now."3-D printing" is the "nanotech" of the 21st century; a combination of wishful thinking and bullshit.

I'm not suggesting you should change careers and become a bank robber, but there are times when it's legal to break through the wall of a vault–as in this project to create egress in a bank that was converted to a library. The first video below shows the work being done. What grabbed me about it was the use of the Micro-Blaster, a system that relies on a pneumatic or mechanical head to detonate blank cartridges that have been placed in holes drilled in concrete, masonry, or stone. This is more or less what miners and blasting contractors do–only this is done on a much smaller scale and without the need for a blasting license (at least that's what the inventor says).
Here's how it works: The contractor drills a 5/16-inch hole into the material, cleans the hole, and then places one or two cartridges inside. The cartridges contain gunpowder and have built-in primers. The tip of the Micro-Blaster head is inserted after the cartridges and seated against them. Inside the tip is spring-loaded piston that functions as a firing pin, and can be activated by a blast of compressed air or the pull of a lanyard. When the piston hits the primer the cartridge goes off and blasts a small chunk of material out of the wall.
I can't vouch for the system because I haven't used it–but it is fun to watch. It's too small-scale for the vast majority of demolition and blasting tasks, but might be a viable solution for those rare instances when it's not possible to use wall-cutting saws or machine-mounted breakers. The demonstration (see second video below) of how to micro-blast ledge that is protruding into a roadway is cool because he is able to do the work without electricity or heavy equipment.
I emailed Carroll Basset and asked how he came to invent the Micro-Blaster. He said, "I needed a tool that could break rock on a relatively small scale to open caves for exploration and mapping as well as a tool to modify passage for cave rescue. I have worked construction when younger and been around blasters, my father had a Uranium prospecting phase which introduced me to dynamite at about age 12." Lucky kid–what 12-year old doesn't like to blow things up (especially with dynamite)?
In response to a question about regulation Bassett said, "We are exempted from the Federal Explosive Regulations so Federal Licenses are not required. Massachusetts requires Micro-Blaster users to hold a State License. Beyond that we are unaware of regulations governing our products."
You can find a list of vendors on Bassett's website. A single head kit lists for $660 and a three-head kit for $1799. Cartridges are sold in boxes of 100 and go for $2.10 a pop (pun intended).

Data on kitchen facilities were obtained from Housing Question 10 in the 2007 American Community Survey. The question was asked at both occupied and vacant housing units. A unit has complete kitchen facilities when it has all three of the following facilities: (d) a sink with a faucet, (e) a stove or range, and (f) a refrigerator. All kitchen facilities must be located in the house, apartment, or mobile home, but they need not be in the same room. A housing unit having only a microwave or portable heating equipment such as a hot plate or camping stove should not be considered as having complete kitchen facilities. An icebox is not considered to be a refrigerator.
Question/Concept History
The 1996-1998 American Community Survey questions asked whether the house or apartment had complete kitchen facilities, requiring that the three facilities all be in the same unit. In 1999, the American Community Survey added "mobile home" to the question, and capitalized the word "COMPLETE" for emphasis.

Find out some of the benefits that you will get from hiring a professional web designer...
Marty Note
Excellent article and reasoning here. For websites designed by pros I would include:
* Convert better (caveat below).
* Be FASTER (very important).
* SEO Better.
I could go on, but why (lol). If you don't want a pro to do your web design after reading those three BIG ones then I'm not going to change your mind with a long list (and good luck to you by the way).
My caveat is you pay designers to think about beauty. Great designers like the ones I work with at Atlantic BT also think about SEO and conversion. Not ALL designers think beyond the pretty pictures and that can HURT your website.
Listen for how potential designers think about SEO, conversion and handing the keys to the car to YOU to maintain.
This last idea is the MOST IMPORTANT one. You must learn to fish with the website a designer builds for you. If they create something so complicated only they can maintain it they've hurt your website.
They (any designer) can't move as fast or as well as YOU in your vertical so never get strung out by an overly complicated design and make sure you know how you will maintain THEIR design.

text: Sherri Shepherd and Jenny McCarthy found out yesterday their contracts with The View will not be renewed. Immediately Barbara Walters and Rosie O'Donnell said they would step in and join Whoopi if they were asked. The show has seen its ratings plummet since McCarthy was added last year. I think just about everyone knew that adding McCarthy was a bad idea and when you throw in all the issues that Sherri is going through, it was just too much to overcome. Also fired were some executives on the show. I would assume that a bunch of guest hosts will be shuttled through to see how they perform and interact with Whoopi and that it will be similar to what Kelly Ripa did when she was searching for a new co-host. Bring everyone in and see who resonates with the audience.

Serves 45
Prep Time 15 min
Total Time 60 min.
Step 1
Position racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
Whisk oats, whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Beat tahini and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until blended into a paste. Add granulated sugar and brown sugar; continue beating until well combined—the mixture will still be a little grainy. Beat in egg, then egg white, then vanilla. Stir in the oat mixture with a wooden spoon until just moistened. Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts.
Step 3
With damp hands, roll 1 tablespoon of the batter into a ball, place it on a prepared baking sheet and flatten it until squat, but don't let the sides crack. Continue with the remaining batter, spacing the flattened balls 2 inches apart.
Step 4
Bake the cookies until golden brown, about 16 minutes, switching the pans back to front and top to bottom halfway through. Cool on the pans for 2 minutes, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Let the pans cool for a few minutes before baking another batch.

Playmate Brande Roderick has us by the Naked Meatballs in Celebrity Apprentice

What better reason to watch Celebrity Apprentice than for a Playmate making meatballs.

If there was one good reason to watch last night's premiere of All-Star Celebrity Apprentice, it was contestant Brande Roderick. The 2001 Playmate of the Year has come a long way since she first appeared nude in the pages of Playboy.
Brande has gone on to star in Baywatch and make appearances in movies like Starsky & Hutch, Dracula II and The Nanny Diaries. Somehow in all of this she has managed to continue modeling, pen a self-help book and start a production company.
(Photo by: Douglas Gorenstein/NBC)
Last night's Celebrity Apprentice had Brande voted in as her team's (Team Power) first project manager. Team Power and Team Plan B were then pitted against each other in a meatball-making fundraiser. Though we will give kudos to Team Plan B's name for their meatballs, "Naked Balls with Harry Sauce," we were saddened when Brande's team didn't win. But they still managed to raise over $200,000 for charity, with one donation hand-delivered by a Playmate dressed in the official Bunny suit.
Interestingly enough, seven of the fourteen contestants have an affiliation with Playboy, making this season's Celebrity Apprentice the season of Playboy!
A few of the other cast members include La Toya Jackson, who shot with Playboy Magazine in 1989; Lisa Rinna, who graced Playboy's pages in 2009; Lil Jon, who has appeared on Playboy TV's Beach House; and Penn Jillette, a Playboy Radio guest. The contestants with one degree of separation include: Trace Adkins, whose hit music video "This Ain't No Love Song" features our very own Jaime Edmondson, and Dennis Rodman, who was married to three-time Playboy cover model Carmen Electra.

Not sure if someone is phishing...
Months ago, I emailed a friend at email@example.com (example address) and apparently my friend doesn't own that address because he told me it was slightly different than the one I sent the email to. Then yesterday I got a reply from what seemed to be that email, but it was actually email@example.com. So they replied to my email but from a similar looking address. I am just wondering how they could have gotten my email message if I sent it to a different address. I knew by their reply that they got my email message since they were talking about it specifically. The reply itself sounds fishy too: "Heyla,
I lost track of my email for a few months. Forgive me that I'm not sure who you are. I've been going through a lot of medical stuff lately. In a later email from you, you sent a song. I've downloaded it to listen to. I hope you are well."
Clearly this is someone phishing. And if I get a request for money wired to Nigeria, I will know for sure it's bs, but until then I am just trying to figure out how they could have gotten my message.

Contributions to LAFCo Incorporation Studies
Original post made by CDSI Community Courtesy, another community, on May 12, 2008
Please review this kind response from Ms. Lou Ann Texeira, Contra Costa LAFCo Executive Officer,email@example.com:
"Just for clarification, donations to fund the fiscal analysis (CFA) and environmental review (CEQA) are exempt from the disclosure requirements.
Hope this is useful."
In addition, please review this commentary by Kathy Bell, Iron Horse neighbors, concerning donations to support Alamo Community Foundation funding of such studies. REF: www.alamocommunity.org
"There are many reasons to want LAFCo studies completed and paid for.
The opposition to incorporation should want the studies as reference to costs of being a city versus remaining a county unincorporated area. Supporters of a defined incorporation proposal should want the studies as basis for efforts to define the AIM incorporation proposal or to file their own conflicting incorporation proposal. Such studies provide basis for all options proposed for local voice by our region's neighbors and not just AIM's incorporation proposal.
We are asking neighbors throughout our region to donate before August 1st so sufficient funding is available to pay all study costs."

Dear neighbors,
I can find no value to supporting any portion of the current incorporation process in progress between AIM and LAFCO. City governments by nature simply bring politics to the local level and create greater issues for neighbors and neighborhoods. Any form of city government that would have significant citizen oversight will not be supported or approved by LAFCO.
We have seen nothing that changes why Alamo neighborhoods decided not to pursue incorporation as a result of their studies in 2004 to 2006. To be fair, when and if a defined incorporation proposal presents a local government that describes significant citizen oversight we can revisit the issue of studies and their costs.
Make us an offer we can BUY,

Dear neighbors,
When each of 2,197 neighbors signed the AIM petition, we committed to petitioning feasibility studies to determine IF our region should become a city. We did not commit to application for incorporation or ask for the opportunity to vote on incorporation.
With that petition for feasibility studies comes the costs of consulting firms to conduct the studies. You are being asked to donate ONLY to the costs of studies and not to any effort to incorporate a town of Alamo as described in the AIM LAFCo application.
Alamo Community Foundation operates separately from AIM and is only a fund raising effort for payment of the studies.
Please make your determination of donations based on that information.

an irrational fear of Natural Law
by unrecalcitrant November 10, 2010
The irrational insecurity felt by moralphobes; people living alternative lifestyles who realize that others find their lifestyles morally repugnant. Usual symptoms include retaliatory labeling with words such as homophobia and intolerance, and duh-weebish abuse of the recommend for deletion link.
The predictable political, (see politics), moralphobic response is to curb free speech and promote intolerance of the expression of moral values dissenting from their own.

Where I stayed
My house!
Botswana ended quicker than it had begun. As the last two months sped by I studied as hard as I could for soil science, and I remember writing many a lab report into the early morning hours, and I watched so many vector calc videos on youtube I'm pretty sure my suggested videos will always involve derivatives. Regardless, finals came and were very relaxed, much like my year in Africa for the most part. I left to the Okavango Delta with my Abroad group in high spirits feeling I had succeeded in my classes
The delta was beautiful and seeing everyone for the last week was both good and bad. We had gotten tired of each other, but in the same way people get tired of being around their family. I miss all of them so much already, and I'm lucky enough to be in California with the larger chunk of students. I will probably never forget that trip for the rest of my days.
Saying goodbye to my host family was hard. I felt like I had grown into an older sibling, and I had never really experienced that before going abroad. For the first time in my life I was a role model for younger kids. I feel like if I learned how to be a brother, and I hope I never forget it. Someday I hope all my siblings from Botswana can come visit California(hopefully they won't grow so I can still be the tallest).
The friends I've made abroad have changed my view on people. Everyone is cooler han you think they are(just trust me), and a first impression most of time will be 100% wrong. I have realized that the way I've judged people has always been irrelevant as of late. Having an open mind can benefit everyone, and being in Africa has taught me much. If Africa taught me anything though, it would be how to make and be a good friend
I know how to treat people now. I know what family really means. I know that as bad as it sounds, we are a resource together, and everyone is just as connected to everyone else. (In the least hippiest way of course) Really though,
I remember a day in Tanzania when we(myself and my friend Elliott) were explaining to a tailor that we all came from Africa, and if you traced humans back far enough, it would only make sense for there to be one mother for all people(abstract, but true). The tailor, who had never heard this theory before, accepted it. I remember someone saying something along the lines of "we're just brothers in different colors" and that day I realized I could never be that far away from home.
And America looks a lot different from the outside-in. I think as a people we should realize that. We ARE American. We can't really change that, and even more-so now than ever. I appreciate and love the country I live in, but not for the same reasons of others.
I do not love our comforts-I think that our closest possessions limit and distract us, and I don't think the answer would be to simply rid ourselves of them either, and I could continue to lists the things I don't like about our culture, but I would rather list the positives
I love that my school gives me opportunity to expand my mind, I've never put such value on knowledge before seeing the lack of it in other countries. In all reality, I've only learned how much I don't know in being abroad.
I love my family and my friends, I love learning new things and meeting people, I love feeling adventure in every day. I don't thing I'll every give any of that up, and I know that because I decided to trade the first two for the second too, to realize I've had all 4 all along.

ECU golfer wins award
GREENVILLE - East Carolina senior Eric Brady has been named the Conference USA Golfer-of-the-Week after shooting a 3-under 213 at the Rod Myers Invitational according to an announcement by the league office Wednesday.
Brady earned his first top-10 finish of the season, tying for eighth-place at the par-72, 7,154-yard Duke Golf Club. He fired a season-low 69 in the second round sandwiched between a pair of par 72 rounds. In addition, Brady's second round 69 helped the Pirates' shoot their second lowest round of the season, 285; one of two subpar rounds this season. He finished tied or ahead of two players ranked in the Golfweek/Sagarin Ratings top 100.
Brady is the first ECU men's golfer to receive the C-USA weekly award since Harold Varner in March 2012. It's his first career weekly honor.
Brady and the ECU men's golf team conclude the fall schedule Oct. 28-29 at the Pirate Intercollegiate at Brook Valley Country Club in Greenville.

I'm looking to get lightweight running shorts with a liner, to wear as underwear and to use alone for hiking, as well as swimming while in the backcountry. I'm looking at the golite 5" mesa and the patagonia 5" baggies. Are the baggies worth $20 more? Also, are the baggies to 'baggie' to wear comfortably under my hiking pants?
Thanks, EricJun 16, 2013 at 1:25 pm #1997210

If you're talking about the long baggies. The short ones aren't bad from memory, but I'm not a fan of the liner, and the shorts are kind of over built for UL. They're definitely not running shorts.Jun 16, 2013 at 2:28 pm #1997217

I just started running int he 7" pair and love these shorts. They have a slightly slimmer fit versus baggie which I really like and may help when layering them under pants. There's a 5" version as well. Nice hidden pockets for chapstick, goo gels, etc…

The baggies are a little more water sport oriented than running shorts. I would lean to the running shorts side of things as the liners are less prone to chafing. Some water sport liners will feel like 80 grit sandpaper after a long day one the trail.
No way could I wear Baggies under regular pants, let alone running shorts with a liner. This is where wind pants work well. The wind pants would give you some options while your shorts dry after the swinmin' hole too.
The older style Ex Officio Amphi shorts are nice if you want a good combination of water and hiking shorts with a liner; otherwise, you can check the sports rack at outlet stores, TJ Maxx and Marshall's for all kinds of brand name running shorts by Nike, Brooks, TNF and others.Jun 16, 2013 at 5:08 pm #1997262

I cut out the liners in shorts. Improved hiking thermodynamics. The baggies last a long time and are cheap considering dollar cost averaging.Jun 16, 2013 at 5:27 pm #1997267
Dale WambaughBPL Member
@dwambaughLocale: Pacific Northwest
There are lots of light nylon shorts without liners. I have a pair of TNF shorts that are Baggies clones, sans the liner. IMHO, the strength in shorts like baggies is the dead simple and comfortable design. The Patagonia brand will last a long time, no doubt there.Jun 16, 2013 at 6:18 pm #1997290

@engine386Locale: Central Florida
Thanks for your thoughts. Looks like ill just pick up some simple nylon shorts w/liner to wear under my pants or hike in if it gets too hot. Hopefully, they won't feel too restrictive under pants.Jun 16, 2013 at 8:29 pm #1997321

Check your local thrift stores/goodwill. There are usually some decent athletic shorts there.

I've had good luck with the GoLite Mesa running shorts. I picked them up for 25$ on sale. I'm 6'2" and I bought the mediums with 9" inseam and they fall right above my knees, which is my preferred length. I use the same pair for all of my trails runs (4x a week), dayhikes, and my backpacking trips. They have a liner, and I've come to prefer them over the regular unlined mesh shorts I used to wear. They are my baselayer, and if it gets cold out I will slip on my Montbell Dynamo wind pants. So for 8 ounces I have a versatile system.
My only complaint is they tend to stink up fast, but I've had that problem with every pair of synthetic running shorts I've ever worn. I wash them on trail and they dry in a couple of hours. That's another reason I like carrying the wind pants, so I can wear those while my shorts are drying. I pretty much always wear shorts unless I absolutely have to wear pants because of temp, poison oak, or tick infested trails.
I can honestly recommend the GoLite Mesa shorts. Never tried the ones from Patagonia.Jun 17, 2013 at 11:00 pm #1997603

I've backpacked and hiked in Patagonia Baggies 5" inseam for many years now, after destroying too many other pairs of light weight running shorts. I like the front pockets, though I don't need the back pocket. The liner doesn't give me any trouble. With the short inseam, I get more air circulation, and rarely have rashes or similar problems. As Colin Fletcher wrote many years ago, "Give your b*lls air". My Montbell wind pants fit over them just fine. If it gets colder, I switch to polypro long underwear with Baggies over, also works fine.

FWIW, women's Baggies don't have a liner. You could go a size up and buy them in black or other "unisex" color, and no one will be the wiser.Jun 18, 2013 at 6:43 am #1997638

@ngatelLocale: Southern California
Same system I have been using for about 30 years, other than switching from polypro to capilene. Had to buy two pair last year to replace my 80's vintage baggies which finally wore out.Jun 18, 2013 at 9:12 am #1997672

I've exercised using shorts with a built in liner for a couple of years. What is the advantage of removing the liner? Weigh savings?Jun 18, 2013 at 8:07 pm #1997898
Rex SandersBPL Member
@rexLocale: Central California Coast
"What is the advantage of removing the liner?"
A little bit of weight savings.
A little more air circulation in critical areas.
A lot more exposure of parts that shouldn't be exposed in town and around children.

I went to rei and gathered all the shorts I could find and three ate by fat the most comfortable. They are completely stretchy, unlike Patagonia baggies. The underwear is a stretch nylon. It has one pocket but no front pocket. Length is perfect.

The All Blacks are determined to play a style of game only the fittest and most skilled would contemplate.
At times this season the All Blacks have produced rugby few teams could contemplate or execute.
It is both weighty and thrilling, though some observers will sniff and bore people about the growing giddiness of test rugby.
Let them sup their own sourness. It might not always come off, but there is a compelling attraction about the All Blacks if they click.
They are not the Harlem Globetrotters of world rugby but they are delivering a message about their enjoyment and how their skills are one of the many ways the sport can be played.
On a top day, France might emulate the All Black style. Even the Wallabies, if they retrieved all their men from the casualty ward and Robbie Deans released the handbrake, have a similar game in them. But not all the time; not as a planned strategic style.
There is no right way to play rugby. That is half its appeal. Teams have to adjust their plans according to their players and the conditions in which they play the sport.
Style is important but results are the final arbiter. Just ask Deans that as his beleaguered Wallabies creak and groan across Europe.
Tap into Rob Howley's mind and see what he wants from Wales against Samoa after four defeats on the bounce.
Hansen has a vision about the way his side should play with the type of player whose skills are honed during the Super rugby series. In his mind he has a wishlist about the All Blacks' performances at the 2015 World Cup in England. He does not know if his first season with the All Blacks would encourage other sides to emulate their style or change their methods.
The All Blacks have many naturally talented athletes who all work hard to be multi-skilled.
"We are an extremely aerobically fit side and to play at that pace and intensity is difficult, too. You have to ask yourself, have you got the athletes to do that?" said Hansen.
"Some of the things we are doing I guess people will copy because that is natural. Our job is to stay in front.
"We have not perfected our game, we have just started."
It was a slow process. They had only played 12 tests this year and it might take a few more seasons to nail it, but the All Black selectors had seen enough to know they should persevere with their ideas.
They wanted to have a side who used all 15 men and got some serious impact from the bench. They saw that as one of their strengths.
"Asking myself and ourselves when is the perfect time to be able to nail this, I don't think there is one," Hansen said.
It was more important to understand their aims and their players and to match that to performance.
The coaches had to be smart and patient to work out performance levels and demands. Nothing had deterred Hansen so far from his goal.
High-risk rugby did mean some errors, but that provoked questions.
"Were the errors the result of our gameplan or were they the result of us not nailing it properly and understanding and delivering it properly yet - I think it is the latter."
There are so many variables in rugby that affect plans. Rush and push defences drew different responses, momentum from the pack produced quality ball but at other times, like the second test against Ireland, that was "atrocious" and affected the All Black plans.
Lessons always came from difficult patches, just as players talked about picking up on their mistakes.
"We are confident that the basic type of game we want to play suits us. We are confident we have the athletes to play the game we want to play and we are confident we are fit enough to play at a pace that asks questions of other people," said Hansen.
Players had to learn how to motivate themselves even if they knew they would win. They had to work on improving every personal performance as well as being prompted by teams they feared.
The coaching staff had to be flexible, they had to learn from all sorts of scenarios.
"We work on a simple philosophy that Saturday is the day we have to have the petrol in the tank. So we work back from that and so far that has been a pretty good philosophy and the way to think."
Recovery had been as important as preparation this season.
Players could not avoid talk, pictures or headlines suggesting inevitable victories, but they had to ask themselves if they had prepared properly and planned for the unexpected.
Brisbane was a classic case of a lack of deep graft.
"We got something we did not expect coming at us and it became a bit of a problem for a while," Hansen mentioned. "That was through lack of mental preparation."
If players said they did not fear a side then it was important they use pride in their personal performance as motivation.
"Someone is always going to watch you play and it might be the last time you play," Hansen warned. "There is a responsibility to play well for the All Blacks and know that your time in the jersey is seen to be productive and actually improve it."

Who Sank the Boat?
Who Sank the Boat? is the story of a cow, a donkey, a sheep, a pig and a little mouse who decide to go for a row in the bay. As they get in the boat one by one, it tips and rocks and sits lower and lower in the water but "Who Sank the Boat?"
We used aluminium foil to make a boat and then tried to sink it. We role-played the story by putting a cow, a donkey, a sheep, a pig and a little mouse in the boat.
We saw the boat tip to one side or the other as we added the animals and that we needed to balance the weight in the boat to make it sit level, as the animals do in the story.
We saw the boat sink lower and lower in the water as we added animals until water flows in over the sides of the boat and the boat sinks (we were lucky enough to have one trial where the mouse did sink the boat).
We also played with marbles (each with the same weight) to see how many we needed to sink the boat.
Floating and sinking can be a difficult concept to understand, which is why it is a concept children should play with over and over. Here is a simple explanation for what is going on here - A boat pushes down on the water. The water pushes back up. When the boat pushes down more than the water pushes up, the boat will sink.
But what happens when your little brother puts his hands in the water and creates a stormy sea?

you read my mind! My 5 yo has loved this book for a long time and we just started reading it to our 3 yo who LOVES water. Added this exact activity of list of things to do and started digging through the toy baskets to find all the animals. Was wondering what to do for the boat part didnt think of making one from foil was just going to use a plastic one but didnt think it was big enough so thanks for that idea
Great to see it in action - good fun! And excellent book.

I love this idea. My boys sometimes collect random objects from around the house before bathtime so they can play a game of "sink or float". Junior likes to try and predict which objects will sink and which will float. We also often read "Who sank the boat" but we haven't tried making our own boat! We will have to give this a go tonight.

Sinking and floating is such an important concept and one that I find children just love to explore.

It is a 4 link on the Benz...
Benz is making a 6x Gwagon. It is the regular Gwagon as in your pic (sans lift) with a bed added to the back of it. Looks odd but I bet it would be fun to have off road.http://www.autoblog.com/2013/03/15/mercedes-releases-6x6-g63-amg-specs-and-pics-w-video/
Saw the video on that Beast.... SWEET!!! But BIG $$$$'s

Morning on the Bear River, Idaho
The Bear River begins in the Uintah Mountains of Utah, flows north through Wyoming and Idaho and then turns south to flow back into the Great Salt Lake in Utah. Much of the spring runoff flow is diverted into Bear Lake, and then released over the summer to flow through hydropower facilities and to provide irrigation in the arid west. Agricultural development along the river has caused excessive erosion and nutrient loading.
This picture in Gentile Valley south of Soda Springs shows a beautiful morning and some waterfowl decoys, as this is a popular duck and goose hunting area.

Tools for creating, lobbying for and passing your own peace resolution
Why work to pass a Cities for Peace resolution in your city? What can ordinary citizens do to express their opposition to a war with Iran? Can public opinion ever really influence Congress, the President and U.S policy?
It is becoming increasingly important that you make your voice heard and take action to demonstrate to congress that going to war with Iran is against our interests as citizens and as a country. Never has this been more important; resolutions 362 and 580, urging the President to take harsher action towards Iran, and even advocating a naval blockade that could be construed as an act of war, are gaining momentum in Congress. These resolutions, combined with the increasingly inflammatory rhetoric that the President himself is directing towards Iran, are stoking tensions that could all too easily escalate into another war. We must not stand by and let this happen.
It is time for us to exercise our rights and privileges as citizens of the United States. Hundreds of thousands have already died in Iraq and Afghanistan. Here at home, at a time of economic crisis, the $275 million a day being spent on Iraq is sucking vital resources away from necessary public services. We cannot stand by and let the U.S be dragged into yet another disastrous war. We must make our voices heard.

Advertising.com Group Sponsors Digiday Publishing Summit
Mar 29, 2012
As a sponsor of this week's Digiday Publishing Summit (DPS), AOL's Advertising.com Group was showcased in front of more than 300 leading executives in digital publishing, advertising and technology. This leading conference explored challenges facing large and small digital publishers in the rapidly evolving online landscape and opportunities and strategies that will drive their business in 2012 and beyond.
In addition to the sponsorship, two speakers – Will Schmahl of ADTECH and Brian Atwood of Pictela – represented AOL during the three-day event titled "Making the Modern Publisher" in Park City, Utah, The summit highlighted innovative technologies and winning content strategies with the goal of helping publishers create a playbook for success. The agenda featured workshops and sessions on mobile, video, premium ads, inventory optimizers, data and quality content.
Will led a presentation on the benefits of "Mobile Rich Media Ad Interface Definitions," or MRAID, the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) project to standardize rich mobile ads. The key message was that ad standardization in the mobile space will allow both publishers and advertisers to create winning mobile brand experiences, which will drive better ROI.
As a panelist on "Bringing Beauty to the Web," Brian shared his thoughts about the advantages of publisher and advertiser collaboration to create consumer-centric Web experiences with reduced clutter and premium ad formats. Less clutter on a page and one premium ad unit increases engagement more than three times – better for the publisher, advertiser and consumer.
Our sponsorship and speaker contributions sessions drove potential new client relationships and promoted our suite of publisher-focused solutions. The event was a big success for us, and we plan to be front and center at the next Digiday Publisher Summit in October.

This is the enclosed porch at our new house in the Catskills:
I should note that our new house is, apparently, not exactly in the Catskills, to the extent that it is – being on the Delaware River – closer to the Poconos than it is to the Catskill Mountains and the land of lake cabins and Dirty Dancing – but we are still saying Catskills, because that's what almost everyone else says, except for some of the other New Yorkers who we've met in the area who insist that it's the Poconos, because: POCONOS.
(Non-essential tangent: I can't say 'Poconos' without thinking 'Kokomo' and getting an immediate late-80's/Beach Boys earworm. Which is part of the reason why I keep saying 'Catskills.')
ANYWAY. Enclosed porch. Apart from our plans for a zipline and a self-cleaning swimming pond and the writer's studio/guest cottage, the enclosed porch represents my most cherished ambition for this house. It is a sleeping porch, and it is adorable. You can hear crickets when you sit out there. You can watch deer. I love it madly.
It's also the part of the house and property my ambitions for which are least tied to my Pinterest boards. Sure, I have some enclosed porch pins, but they represent inspiration and ideas, rather than aspiration and OH DEAR GOD IT MUST LOOK EXACTLY THAT WAY.
To wit:
I love these images, but MY sleeping porch is a SLEEPING porch – 'enclosed' just doesn't capture its glory – and is going to be used as such. There'll be a daybed instead of chairs, and it will be shabbily lounge-y, because that's what sleeping porches are supposed to be like. I'll incorporate design elements from pins like the two above – or not (I love the checkered floor, but just can't see myself going to the effort) – but whatever they look like, they'll be interpretations, made to conform to MY ideal of MY sleeping porch. (The second pin, I should say, is actually really close to what I envision, and what I think is possible, but: BED. NOT sofa.)
Which is, I suppose, the way that I should using and considering Pinterest all the time, rather than as the aspirational ideal that causes me to lose sleep over questions like, why can't I make a proper cauliflower gratin? And could I really pull off animal prints? And how hard is it going to be to put up that zipline, anyway?
But, you know, baby steps.
You see how this post is on my Intel Digital Life page? That's because I wrote it with my Intel hat on, which is totally a little foil beanie that receives satellite transmissions from the galaxy of AWESOME. Or something. Anyway, it's part of the series that you see here, on this humble page, about living la vida digital, which is also part of this whole storytelling exercise over here, on Facebook. You should check it out.
(Oh, also! If you're at all moved to comment on this post, why not consider commenting, instead, on THIS POST, whereon your comment will save a life? Yes, I am sort of forcing this, by closing comments here, but seriously: one comment over there = one life saved. That's worth forcing.)
