Best Of :: Food & Drink
Bigger and better known -- as well as, for sure, better looking -- Tropical Chinese just a few blocks away is a tough act to beat when it comes to dim sum, China's traditional teahouse lunch/brunch. But although Tropical's dumplings and other "small plates" are mostly just as tasty, casual Kon Chau rules when it comes to authenticity. Truly serious fans can even feast on chicken feet (the trick is to not munch but suck the things like lollipops, concentrating on the fabulous black bean sauce rather than the tiny toenails). For the rest of us, there are over 60 steamed, stir-fried, stewed, or grilled selections, some sweet but most savory, with dumplings predominating: delicate steamed cilantro-spiked pork or shrimp har gau, wrapped in near-transparent pasta; more substantial large round raviolis stuffed with shiitakes, shrimp, and Asian garlic chives; addictively chewy cheoung fun, super-succulently sauced rice noodle crêpes filled with beef, pork, or shrimp. Especially impressive are hard-to-make holiday items like taro and turnip cakes, but even the simplest congees (variously flavored rice porridges) and roast pork or Chinese sausage buns seem more skillfully made than at most places in town ... or in New York, San Francisco, Vancouver, possibly even Hong Kong.
Restaurants rarely make their own bread (so much easier to source it from a good bakery), and those that do frequently limit their production to one or two specialties. Not so Bizcaya Grill. Maybe it's because, given its location in the Ritz-Carlton Coconut Grove, it has the space and resources to do it. No doubt having an overnight baker helps as well. But whatever the reason, the results are what you can count on, or depending on your mood, count calories on: fresh-baked Danish pastries and muffins for breakfast. Pain du chocolate and croissants at Sunday brunch. Parmesan buns and lemon brioche to partner burgers and fish sandwiches, respectively, for the midday meal. And at dinner the piéce de resistance -- pretzel bread dotted with coarse salt or pumpkin seeds. The object, of course, is not to eat so much of the bread that you have no appetite for the foie gras served with a shot of vinegar or the black-and-white rabbit cannelloni. But then, we were never ones to shy away from a challenge.

Sit in a booth, or sidle up to the counter and enjoy a massive repast with any and all combinations of the breakfast staples that make you want to go right back to bed: ham, bacon, sausage, waffles, pancakes, eggs, biscuits, gravy, grits. Chuck Wagon breakfasts provide the caloric intake you would need for ploughing your fields or rounding up cattle (rather than sitting at your terminal, wondering if co-workers can hear your stomach gurgle through the cubicle walls). Breakfast is available all day, and specials last from 6:00 to 10:00 a.m. Daily specials include a two eggs, grits, and bacon breakfast for $2, and omelet and breakfast combos that change every day, but hover around the $4-$5 price range.
A perennial favorite in the dim sum category, Tropical -- surprise -- also serves a great din-din. Traditional dishes include Hong Kong-style roast pork flavored with five-spice and then roasted; seafood-spinach soup; and always crisp, always succulent Peking duck. But innovative items are equally reliable, if unusual -- flounder pan-fried with peppercorns and jalapeños and served with bananas marinated in rice wine, for example, offers interesting counterpoints of textures, as does cherry-plum chicken wrapped with diced water chestnuts and fresh bamboo in egg-white crêpes. A healthy wine list replete with floral Rieslings adds to the fine-dining effect, giving aficionados of all kinds reason to make Tropical an evening as well as morning destination.
To borrow a line from the old ad campaign for Arnold's rye bread, you don't have to be Jewish to eat kosher chocolate. Indeed whether you follow those dietary rules or not, the ultimate issue is taste, for which Krön is an ecumenical experience of the heavenly culinary variety. Its tantalizing array of candies, truffles, and dipped fruits are all made by hand with top-notch ingredients (and prices to match). Coffee and baked goods like brownies and cookies are also for sale, though the tables set out in the middle of the mall are decidedly unatmospheric. Recent ink on the store has hinted at expansion plans. Let's hope any new outlets include a proper café.
This charming crêperie replicates the design of a classic French café: the tile floors, the long wooden benches along the walls, lots of reading material lying about, and good, strong java. If the weather were cooler, one could easily picture a professorial type in corduroys perusing Le Monde over his afternoon espresso. Locals and tourists alike flock for the delicious savory and sweet crêpes, along with other simple fare like croque monsieur (the Gallic version of grilled cheese with ham), at prices that will make you wonder whether you are really still in South Beach. To avoid a wait, come earlyish on a weekend morning with a newspaper or a book, and ease into the day over a steaming bowl of café au lait.

I know the discussion is about the action, but I am removing that for a moment.

I think people need to take a breath, step back, and consider the state.Ā It's better than "not bad", it's "good".Ā I would go so far as to say that it is an improvement, though that is subjective.

If people want to twist in the wind over the action, let them.Ā If people would consider the quality of the space, minus the quality of people's actions or intents, I will not suggest that they'd feel it was an improvement, but I will suggest that it would be a more useful discussion than who did what and how.

As we have stated before in the few theft threads on this list, we know the risks of keeping our stuff at a public space.Ā Consider this but one more.

John McQueenUntitled #192
burdock burrs and applewood
22 1/4 x 18 x 20 3/4 in.
Smithsonian American Art Museum, Gift of the James Renwick Alliance
John McQueen's baskets and containers are sophisticated rearrangements of natural forms. Untitled #192 is a massive basketlike piece composed of burrs—prickly seed carriers from plants that stick to clothing or animal fur—and applewood twigs to suggest something not so much created but found by chance. This piece seems so natural that it is hard to think of it as made by a human being. McQueen is fascinated by the organic, free-form qualities of plants. His gift as an artist is to reveal the uncommon in what we take for granted.

Brentz mashes walk-off no-doubter
Red Sox prospect hits seventh homer to beat G-Braves
By Jake Seiner / Special to MLB.com | May 17, 2013 8:16 PM ET
Bryce Brentz has a high opinion of reliever Wirfin Obispo's repertoire. When he stepped in to face the Gwinnett right-hander in the bottom of the ninth inning on Friday night, he wasn't thinking about much else.
"He came in [Thursday] night and he struck me out," Brentz said. "Tonight was my third time seeing him and his stuff is really nasty."
The Red Sox's No. 7 prospect took a first-pitch fastball -- "I thought, 'Well, that might be the only pitch I get'" -- and two pitches later exacted sweet revenge by mashing mashing a three-run, walk-off homer to give the PawSox a 5-4 win over the Braves.
"He throws across his body," Brentz said. "He has a sick cutter and a heavy two-seamer and he has a four-seamer with more velocity.
"He threw a first-pitch fastball ... and then I laid off a cutter. Before the next pitch, I stepped out of the box and thought, 'You know, he's not a pitcher who's going to back away. He's going to attack,' from what I've noticed. I got back into the box knowing if he threw me a hittable pitch, I didn't want to miss."
Brentz got his fastball and he didn't miss. The walk-off blast was a no-doubter, according to teammate Jackie Bradley Jr.:
Wow @bbrentz7's walk-off HR off the bat was so loud. Definitely the loudest I've ever heard.- Jackie Bradley Jr. (@JackieBradleyJr) May 18, 2013
"He was throwing hard and I caught that ball about as good as I can catch one," Brentz said. "It wasn't a high fly or anything, just a line drive. I couldn't put any more into that ball than when I caught that off the bat."
Brentz's blast, his seventh of the season, was part of a torrid stretch for the 2010 first-round Draft pick, who's hitting .448 (13-for-29) over his last eight games. It was his second homer and fifth extra-base hit during that stretch, which includes a double in the eighth on Friday.
Considered something of a free swinger, Brentz has worked extensively with Pawtucket hitting coach Dave Joppie on quieting his movements at the plate to refine his approach. The right-handed hitter has had a tendency to lunge and chase, and while he always expects to have some swing-and-miss in his game, he thinks the adjustments he's made with Joppie are helping control that aspect without sacrificing power.
"It really starts with the hands," Brentz said. "I've been really moving them a lot, moving the bat back and forth, and sometimes I'll get stuck with them. Then I have to go and regenerate my hands to get back where I need to be. My shoulders will get rotated and it'll throw off a lot of things.
"I'm not saying my swing is perfect now, but I'm slowing things down with my hands, keeping even and just getting a circular flow going. That's slowing down my whole body and putting me in the position I need to be in."
Brentz is making strides mechanically and mentally. He's had a tendency to expand the strike zone in RBI situations, knowing his success is tied directly to his ability to produce runs. He's made an effort to adjust his pitch selection in those situations and did so Friday with men on second and third when he hit his walk-off homer.
"Usually, you make a small adjustment, and it can take a while to get used to," Brentz said. "I made a very small adjustment, but it's been helping me out as far as being able to stay back and see pitches better and not lunge and get too aggressive."
Red Sox No. 2 prospect, Jackie Bradley Jr., returned from the disabled list and batted leadoff as the designated hitter. He started the ninth with an 11-pitch at-bat that ended in a walk against left-hander Ryan Buchter. Brentz described the at-bat as "ridiculous," especially considering Bradley had been out since May 3.
After Jose Iglesias struck out, Drew Sutton doubled and Bradley conservatively stopped at third with one out. Three pitches later, Brentz delivered his walk-off winner on a 1-1 offering.
Bradley also tripled, while Sutton and Ronald Bermudez had two hits apiece to help Pawtucket overcome a 4-0 deficit after 6 1/2 innings.

A new species of Helobdella (Hirudinida: Glossiphoniidae) from Oregon
- By:
- William E. Moser, Steven V. Fend, Dennis J. Richardson, Charlette I. Hammond, Eric A. Lazo-Wasem, Fredric R. Govedich, and Bettina S. Gullo
- More information: Publisher Index Page (via DOI)
- Download citation as: RIS
AbstractHelobdella bowermani n. sp. is described from specimens collected in fine sediment of open water benthos of Upper Klamath Lake, Klamath County, Oregon. The new species has pale yellow/buff coloration with scattered chromatophore blotches throughout the dorsal surface, lateral extensions or papillae only on the a2 annulus, dorsal medial row of papillae with small papilla on a1 and larger papillae on a2 and a3, and a small oval scute (rarely triangular). Helobdella bowermani n. sp. is morphologically similar to Helobdella atli and Helobdella simplex. Molecular comparison of CO-I sequence data from H. bowermani n. sp. revealed differences of 10.6%–10.8% with Helobdella californica, differences of 12.2%–13.7% with H. atli, and differences of 12.7%–13.2% with H. simplex.

LumberKings Answer Kernels with 3-1 Win
Bullpen stellar in planned 'pen day
By Chad Seely / Clinton LumberKings | September 1, 2013 2:24 PM ET
Clinton, IA - LumberKings' Pitching Coach Andrew Lorraine wanted his bullpen to be rested for the start of the playoffs Wednesday. Therefore he elected to use the bullpen Sunday afternoon instead of Monday, ensuring more days rest. The plan worked when the trio of Blake Holovach, Mark Bordonaro and Oliver Garcia stifled the Kernels lineup in a 3-1 Clinton win Sunday afternoon at Ashford University Field.
Holovach got the nod for the spot start and dazzled early. He struck out the side in the first and the second inning on his way to a career-high nine strikeouts.
Gaby Guerrero belted a booming solo homer in the bottom of the second to give Clinton a 1-0 lead. Holovach then struck out a pair in the third and struck out Mike Gonzales for the second out of the fourth. He gave way for Bordonaro who came on and retired Bo Altobelli with a runner at third to preserve the 1-0 lead.
Clinton added a run in the fourth on a Tyler Marlette infield single and a pair of errors. With two outs, Zach Shank hit a bouncer to second that Tyler Grimes mishandled. The error allowed Marlette to score and make it a 2-0 game.
Bordonaro worked through the seventh inning. His sixth and final strikeout came when he got Jeremias Pineda to end the seventh.
Oliver Garcia allowed a run on a pair of hits in the eighth inning but settled down after Clinton added a run in the bottom half. Dario Pizzano's 40th double of the year proved large when Marlette followed with a base knock to right, scoring Pizzano to give the LumberKings an insurance run.
Garcia worked around a two-out walk to pick up his second save of the season. Bordonaro notched his third win in relief. The 15 strikeouts by Clinton pitching were the most in a single game this year. Holovach's nine is the most by one pitcher in a single game.
The two teams finish the regular season Monday afternoon at Ashford University Field. Clinton turns to left-hander Steven Ewing (1-1, 4.91) against Kernels left-hander Miguel Sulbaran (8-4, 2.93). First pitch is scheduled for 2:00 PM CT. A post-game concert by Levi Fraley will follow the game.

Congressman Steve Daines today released the following statement after the House of Representatives passed bipartisan legislation to address the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) air traffic controller furloughs:
"It's time for the political games to end and for President Obama and the FAA to stop putting politics ahead of passengers," Daines stated. "When President Obama and the FAA would rather play politics instead of find real, common sense solutions, the American people lose. Today's legislation will help to ensure that American passengers aren't forced to bear the brunt of the President's political games."
In a press conference held yesterday, Daines stood with House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Bill Shuster (R-PA) and House Republican Conference Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) to bring to light how the Obama administration's choice to furlough air traffic controllers, rather than find alternative savings within the FAA budget, was impacting American travelers.
"It is ridiculous that hard-working Montanans and Americans are canceling summer trips because the President and the FAA would rather play politics than find real solutions and some common sense cuts," Daines stated yesterday. "The President is putting politics ahead of passengers. And it needs to end."
On Sunday, April 21, 2013, the FAA chose to begin furloughing air traffic controllers and all other employees in order to implement sequestration and meet required savings of five percent. Although the Administration knew about the potential for sequestration since November 2011, it waited until April 16, 2013 -- just days before the furloughs were set to begin -- to inform Congress and U.S. airlines of its plans and warn that major delays could result.
The FAA furloughs have resulted in over 40 percent of flights being delayed or canceled.

Hi Kumar,
You could try "I'm not Nuts" - "Not Just Nuts" -" Nuts and More" which would be a shortened versions that may work. Both are much shorter that the original suggestion, but still using the same idea that we started with. Please see if either of these will work and if not I will continue to work on this for you. We should be able to find something that will work.

The Morning Ledger: Shareholders Flex Their Muscles
Chesapeake shareholders revolt. Aubrey McClendon's long reign over Chesapeake is over. He remains CEO but his role will be considerably weaker with the creation of an independent chairman. And he's losing some of his controversial perks – most notably the Founder Well Participation Program, which allowed him a amass personal stakes in thousands of the company's wells, Bloomberg says.
Ousting McClendon as chairman was "another victory for shareholders demanding better corporate governance," the WSJ's Russell Gold writes in this A1 story today. They'd already balked at his pay package last year, but the recent revelation about loans he had arranged from companies doing business with Chesapeake was the last straw.
In a sign of the shareholder pressure, Chesapeake included a statement from its biggest investor, Southeastern Asset Management, when it announced the changes, the NYT notes. McClendon will be speaking to investors this morning on the company's earnings call at 9 a.m. Should be plenty of fireworks. Here's a link to the webcast.
The first piece of this week's job puzzle, the ADP report, is expected to show that private payrolls added 175,000 jobs last month – down from 209,000 in February. And March factory orders likely fell 1.5%, reversing the previous month's 1.3% rise.
On the earnings front, Time Warner is expected to post strong results – analysts will be looking at how well the company recovered from the NBA lockout. And optimism is growing over refineries as Sunoco and Tesoro report their earnings. Ahead of the Tape's Spencer Jakab says "new and reconfigured pipelines, along with booming exports of refined products, could underpin respectable earnings in coming years."
Other earnings of note: Comcast, MasterCard, CVS Caremark, Visa, Allstate, DreamWorks

Grown up and far away, but still her son
A daughter is a daughter all of her life, a son is a son until he takes a wife.
The first time I heard this phrase it was from my mother, herself a mum of two sons and three daughters. I would feel a little sad when she uttered these words. Is that how she felt about her happily married boys? Did she feel she had lost them to their wives? Isn't that what was supposed to happen to a certain degree? If a mother has done her job well, surely she has taught her son to love and respect women and therefore ultimately his wife, beyond all others? Including herself? Even so, I imagined it must sting a little.
My husband and I were blessed to have a daughter and son. My daughter and I were best friends until that very difficult 13- to 16-year-old phase. Her dad had to put us in opposite corners of the room on more than one occasion. That phase soon passed and we became friends again. She went on to marry her high school sweetheart, a serious cliché that has been going strong for more than 15 years. Our relationship is beyond precious to me. She and her wonderful husband have given us two adorable granddaughters whom my husband and I spoil mercilessly. They live less than 10 minutes from us and we see them nearly daily.
I never went through a rough patch with my son, but rather the odd rough incident. I clearly remember a certain bonfire debacle. I won't embarrass him by disclosing the details, but suffice it to say he wasn't a perfect angel growing up. He was challenging; too smart for his own good. But somehow even as a youngster he "got" me. He understood and shared my particular lame sense of humor and could easily read my moods, more so than his dad sometimes. There is no doubt he knew exactly how to handle me. We could talk about anything. He was my buddy. He finished college and soon achieved his career goal, but it meant moving eight hours away.
Shortly after relocating, he met his wife-to-be and fell for her hard and fast. We fell in love with her too. Their courtship was quick, and before I knew it my son was a married man. I will selfishly admit I wasn't quite prepared to be demoted so soon but was gratified to see how loving, protective and respectful he was with her.
Due to distance, we obviously don't see them nearly as much as I'd prefer. But like clockwork I can count on a phone call from him every other day on his drive home, keeping me caught up on what's going on in their busy lives.
I am no longer the No. 1 female in my son's life. Nor should I be. I like to think that our close relationship had a lot to do with his becoming the amazing son, brother, uncle, husband and father-to-be that he is. He and my sweet daughter-in-law are expecting our third granddaughter soon.
And you know, at the end of our frequent whirlwind weekend visits together, my son gives me a back-breaking hug and a big old kiss, and I'm reminded that I was the first girl he loved … and it doesn't sting at all.

DESTIN, Fla. -- Lawyers have advised SEC athletic directors to give up on trying to restore an NCAA ban on Friday night college football games.
Without that option, the athletic directors didn't bother crafting a proposed bylaw at their annual meeting Wednesday. They settled for an agreement not to schedule their teams to play on Fridays, the traditional night for high school football in many regions of the country.
The SEC joined the Atlantic Coast and Big East as conferences which have vowed not to play on Friday nights.
''We're so strong about protecting our bowl windows, our TV windows, and we've got to protect Friday nights for high schools,'' Auburn Athletic Director David Housel said. ''My feelings on it haven't diminished at all. But the only thing we can do something about is the Southeastern Conference.''
The athletic directors were hoping for more. They came to their annual meetings with the intent of writing a proposal to resurrect the ban that the NCAA board of directors lifted in April.
The rule change was part of a complex deregulation bill that slipped under the radar of most administrators on the committees that looked at it. Florida Athletic Director Jeremy Foley was one of several who said he never would have voted for the change had he known it was buried in the bill.
Still, lawyers advised the ADs that the ban, if restored, might not stand up legally because of the 1984 Supreme Court ruling that essentially took away the NCAA's control of TV rights and placed it in the hands of the individual schools.
SEC Commissioner Roy Kramer said there was no dissent among the 12 schools on the decision to forgo Friday nights.
So far, the Mountain West Conference, Conference USA and the Mid-American Conference have scheduled Friday night games to be televised by ESPN.
The conferences have taken criticism from high school athletics associations around the country, although they have countered that they're playing in areas where Friday night preps aren't as big a tradition.
Kramer suggested ESPN should be under as much scrutiny as the conferences.
''I have real concerns because they're the ones who promoted the whole thing,'' Kramer said. ''They provide the platform for it to happen. So, while we talk about the conferences, I think the network has to share some of that.''
The SEC has a TV deal with ESPN.
An ESPN spokesman said the network never lobbied for the rule change, and only when it came about did ESPN pursue the Friday night telecasts.
''It was not a door we opened,'' ESPN manager of communications Josh Krulewitz said. ''Now, once the door opened, for those interested in discussing it, we'll explore it and if it makes sense, we'll try to work it out. But it's only for those who are interested. It's never something that's going to be an obligation for our partners.''
Incoming Alabama coach Dennis Franchione has seen the issue on different sides. He coached at TCU, a school in a state where Friday night prep football is the only game in town. He also coached at New Mexico when it was in the Western Athletic Conference, a smaller school that could use all the publicity it could get.
''In my life, it's always been Friday night for high schools, Saturday for colleges and Sunday for the NFL,'' Franchione said. ''I understand smaller conferences are fighting for exposure. I'm just not sure this is way we want to go about it.''

After these words the angel brought him to the brink of a valley that was stupendous for depth and fearfulness.
You, I know, lay this to his fearfulness of disobliging or offending.
His eighty-five years did not tame him at all, did not blunt his conception of the "fearfulness and wonderfulness of life."
Those who have not felt it know not the fearfulness of waiting for an Indian attack.
Sometimes her relatives stole into the house to see her and hoped, with fearfulness, not to meet her husband in some passageway.
The fearfulness of the consequences shows how false the supposed principle must be.
Yet the kissings that came after made the fearfulness almost the sweetest thing in their prayer-sayings to each other.
How shall I describe to you this pressure, its fearfulness and sublimity!
Apparently the Americans owe a great debt of gratitude to Mrs. Franklin's fearfulness of the untrustworthy Atlantic.
And as for the fearfulness of it and its fierce and awesome beauty, who can describe it?

Brutal Beatings In "The Killer Inside Me" Shock Sundance Crowds
The Sundance Film Festival is the place for new movies to get initial buzz. For Michael Winterbottom's film "The Killer Inside Me," the reaction seems to be outrage. The film is an adaption of Jim Thompson's 1952 novel of the same name, and offers a dark and cruel look inside the mind of a vicious serial killer who takes a sickening delight in torturing and murdering women. It's an aspect of the book that Winterbottom gruesomely exploits on screen. The trailer/highlight reel shows footage of Jessica Alba's character getting violently whipped and later beaten by the murderer, played by Casey Affleck. A beating that viewers of the film have said not only leaves Alba's character dead, but her jaw bone exposed. The rest of her face resembles "hamburger meat." Kate Hudson's character is also brutally attacked in the film in a similar display of violence that leaves her with a broken windpipe. This is the story of a man who is a sexual deviant and has a dangerous mind that eventually erupts. Winterbottom has been championed by many critics for capturing that scarily unknown element that can lay dormant in anyone's mind. But "The Killer Inside of Me" also contains some of the most graphic scenes of violence against women in film history. When the director was questioned after the Sundance screening, he didn't give much justification for his violent portrayal of the novel, except that he wanted to capture "a sense of pleasure in the violence. The violence should be shocking."
But when does sense of pleasure in violence become one that steps outside the screen and encourages the viewer? Where is the line between misogyny and art? And does "The Killer Inside Me" cross it? [Jezebel, Vulture]

Picture : A day in the life of your morning cup…
" Dear Joe,
I am trying to bring the coffee bags over today but our truck has a bit of problem as we are trying to get it sorted, esp., with registration. Also the weather is not good as it is raining outside right now and can't able to load the green bean bags onto truck. I therefore would like to inform you that I want to have them to the FTM yard as soon as I get stuff here sorted and if the weather gets better.
I am also thinking of making it tomorrow, around 10 -11:00 am, will this be okay with you?
Thanks and regards,
Ben "
Enjoy your coffee!

Sokolowski The Winchester (VA) Star Although national security mandates for regional airports have yet to be established, the Winchester Regional Airport is already working to enhance its security. "There's growing concern here because of increased traffic, growth we're seeing, and larger business aircraft [flying in]," said Serena "Renny" Manuel, Winchester Regional Airport executive director. "We're not overreacting. We just want to be proactive instead of reactive." After the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, President Bush last November signed into law the Aviation and Transportation Security Act, which establishes a new Transportation Security Administration within the Department of Transportation to oversee security at commercial airports. However, regional airports are taking matters into their own hands by organizing security committees. While the Winchester Regional Airport Security Committee met Tuesday in a closed session, Manuel told The Winchester Star in a phone interview how and why the airport is working to prevent and respond to security threats. "We're seeing what we can do to improve areas by adding or changing any extra steps," she said. They're addressing security, not just because of terrorist threats, she said, but because Winchester Regional Airport has been growing in the past several years with air traffic now seven days a week. The Airport Authority has extended the runway, increased the aircraft parking area, built the terminal building, and installed an instrument landing system that allows larger aircraft to come in during bad weather. The Virginia Department of Aviation has a volunteer certification program that gives general aviation airports - which includes all regional airports - the opportunity to improve security. The Winchester Regional airport is now in the process of taking steps toward its certification. Post your opinion on this story in the CAA General Aviation Forum http://www.californiaaviation.org/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboard.cgi?conf=DCConfID2 *****************************************

Abstract:Measuring vital signs like pulse rate, breathing rate, pulse rate variability and blood oxidation remotely without using contact electrodes can make continuous physiological assessment possible, both at home and in hospitals. Camera based system to measure photoplethysmographs (PPG) or blood flow waveform (BVP) has been suggested as a possible approach for such cardiovascular assessment. Two major challenge of using camera for recording PPG are - 1) extremely low signal strength of the PPG waveform acquired using a camera, and 2) motion artifact due to movement of the person in front of camera. Thus, all current systems can only extract pulse rate and cannot give reliable measurement of the underlying PPG waveform which could be used for other vital sign measurement and cardiovascular assessment.
In this thesis, I addressed both these challenges First, I devised a novel PPG signal acquisition algorithm which optimally combines PPG signal coming from different regions of the skin to improve the SNR of the system. Second, I track different region of the imaged skin using feature points as it move around during normal activity to compensate for the motion artifacts. Our proposed signal acquisition algorithm gives on an average 4.7dB SNR improvement of PPG signal for people having different skin tones (pale white to brown). Our motion compensation algorithm gives good results for small natural motion scenario like browsing Internet, watching video, and talking on Skype. Thus, PPG waveform comparable to a contact based pulse oximeter can be extracted from the video of a person's face using the proposed algorithm, and have widespread application for remote non-contact cardiovascular assessment.

A Deakin man threatened to "put a f---ing bullet" in the head of the anonymous source who tipped off the RSPCA to his cruel treatment of two dogs.
When told by RSPCA inspectors that his underweight dogs needed veterinary treatment, Jason Charles Ryan responded: "It's a good thing you're a female … cause I would have punched you in the f---ing face by now."
Ryan, 43, pleaded guilty in the ACT Magistrates Court on Thursday to six animal cruelty charges, including failing to provide adequate food, failing to seek veterinary treatment, and neglect.
The court heard the charges related to two dogs – a terrier and a mastiff cross – in July.
The self-represented defendant, in entering the guilty pleas, told the court he had a bad year at the time of the offences.
The prosecution tendered a statement of facts and Magistrate Robert Cook adjourned the matter for sentence.
Court documents said RSPCA inspectors raided the Deakin home after receiving a tip-off about two skinny dogs, one with a "sore" on its back.
The inspectors reported both dogs had been extremely underweight, with hips, ribs and spine clearly visible.
When asked about the dogs' condition, Ryan told inspectors that the animals had been poisoned weeks earlier after they dug something up from the backyard.
He admitted he had not sought veterinary treatment and had last taken his pets for a check-up two years earlier.
In relation to the sore on the mastiff's back, the defendant reported that it had "knocked itself on the airconditioner".
Ryan became aggressive when told the animals would be seized, threatening to shoot the person who made the complaint, and violence if the inspector had not been a woman.
"You're not taking my dogs, if I find out who complained I am going to put a f---ing bullet in his head," he said, according to court documents.
The dogs were seized and examined by a vet, who found their low weight was the result of starvation.
The condition of the animals and other medical conditions, such as an ear infection and sore, improved once in the RSPCA care.
Court documents said the RSPCA ACT wanted the court to impose a 10-year ban on Ryan owning animals.
The matter will return to court for sentence next week.

Tesla Sued by NY and MA car dealers over franchise laws

Tesla Sued by NY and MA car dealers over franchise laws
Looks like the local dealerships in Massachusetts and New York have their defenses up against upstart electric car company Tesla. The logic they're using on why it should be illegal to sell cars directly to the consumer is a little fuzzy to me, can anyone figure out why it would be a problem?
Robert O'Koniewski, the executive vice president of the Massachusetts State Automobile Dealers Association, is suing Tesla for opening a store in a local mall.
In Massachusetts, franchise law 93B prohibits a manufacturer from owning a dealership, O'Koniewski says. An auto dealer association in New York is also suing Tesla.
Typically, car manufacturers build the cars, then ship them out to local car dealers, which have to meet the various manufacturers' standards.
Manny Quinones is a sales manager at one of those dealers, Manhattan Motorcars in New York.
"We're multibrand, so we have brand-specific showrooms," he says.
Each brand represents another manufacturer that can require expensive equipment and training. Not having to meet those various needs, O'Koniewski says, gives Tesla an unfair advantage.
Way to block innovations MA and NY!

Flower Added To Smithsonian's Permanent Collection
Posted by Aaron on January 16th, 2014
We're really excited to say that Flower will be a permanent part of The Smithsonian American Art Museum's permanent collection!
This is different from The Art of Video Games exhibit that was in the same museum for half of 2012, which was only a temporary exhibit and is now traveling across the United States. You can check out the locations that the exhibit will travel to by clicking right here.
Flower, together with Halo 2600, is currently being prepared to be displayed in Washington, D.C. The new exhibit will be open to the public at a later date. These two games are just the first in the collection, so expect to see more information about amazing games entering the museum in the future. Read more >

thatgamecompany in Edinburgh!
Posted by Logan on August 7th, 2013
On June 21st, thatgamecompany was fortunate enough to take part in the Edinburgh Game Music Symposium! Organized by Jacob Pernell, Yati Durant, and Luci Holland, and in collaboration with the Edinburgh International Film Festival, the symposium was a showing, discussion, and demonstration of music's unique position in the interactive medium.
thatgamecompany was honored to have Journey present at the event, both playable and played – a symphonic performance was bookended by music from the game, starting with "Nascense," and ending with "I Was Born for This." It was moving to hear the music live, especially with such strong violin, cello, and vocal performances!

It's the first book directly inspired by one of our games and is titled The Art of Journey and will be available for purchase in September.
This book, designed and written by Matt Nava, art director on Journey, provides an insider's view into the stylistic influences, narrative functions, and game design goals that shaped the final look of the game. Readers will discover how Journey's landscapes, cut-scenes, and much-loved robed traveler came to be. For your enjoyment, The Art of Journey will come bound as an embossed hardcover book filled with gorgeous concept art, intricate pencil drawings, and 3D models printed in full color on art-quality paper.
In addition, the book has an innovative "augmented reality" feature powered by the Daqri 4D platform. By downloading a free companion app, readers will be able to point their smartphone or tablet's camera at special images and see animated 3D models appear straight from the game. It's a truly unique and innovative way to more fully experience the artwork of Journey.
We are especially proud to include a tribute in the book to the game's players. Journey's touching experience and memorable visuals have inspired many players to create their own artwork. Matt has collected some of the team's favorites in a special fan art section which I hope will speak to those of you who have been moved by the Journey experience.
The Art of Journey will be accompanied by a voucher that will allow readers to download a free copy of the game's soundtrack to their PS3.
Please continue to stay tuned for updates and sneak peeks for The Art of Journey. In the meantime, don't forget to check out the Journey Collector's Edition, which will be available on store shelves this coming Tuesday, August 28.

What is a spelling bee? Who competes? How many words do you need? Read on to find the answers to these questions, and more!
Question: What's
all the buzz about? Just what is a spelling bee , anyway?
Answer: A spelling bee is simply a contest to find out who can spell the most words correctly.
Question: Is there more than one kind of spelling bee? Must we always follow the same rules for a spelling bee?
Answer: Yes, there is more than one kind of bee. No, you don't always have to follow the same rules. But you do need to make the rules clear to all participants in advance. The Scripps National Spelling Bee uses the format is perhaps most familiar. There are also simpler, less rigid formats that you can use.
What is a spelling bee? It's a spelling competition that motivates kids (and adults) to learn to spell a lot of words. And...it's FUN!
Why are there different kinds of bees? How do you know which
kind to use?
Answer: For fun spelling bee in a single classroom, try a Spelldown. For this contest, divide the students into two teams. Read the first word to a player on Team 1. If he spells it correctly, he goes to the end of the line for his team and awaits another turn. If he is incorrect, the same word must be spelled by the first player on Team 2. If that player cannot spell the word, both players remain in the game. The teacher provides the correct spelling.
Note: There are lots of variations that work well with this format.
Question: What
are the general rules for a more formal bee?
Answer: Usually all players compete against each other. If one player misspells a word, he is out of the bee and leaves the contest at the end of the round. When only two players remain, the rules change slightly. Read my general rules here.
How many students should you have in a spelling bee?
Answer: The number is very flexible. You could have as few as 8-10 or as many as 200! But remember, when 1 student is spelling, the other 199 are getting very bored. So I would advise keeping the group size down to a maximum of 40 or so.
For very large groups, it's best to divide the group for separate competitions. Then bring the winners of those together for a final spelling bee.
For example, each middle school class could have a bee to determine its
top speller. Then the school could hold an all-school bee where those
classroom winners compete against each other in front of the entire
group of students to find the best speller in the school.
Question: How
do you know what words to use for a spelling bee? What is a spelling bee word list?
Answer: This is perhaps the most frequently asked question of all. Here at Spelling Words Well, I've compiled several free lists that you can find here. Each of these lists contains about 100 words that are appropriate for a certain grade. The lists begin with easy words and end with very difficult words.
Question: How many words will I need?
Plenty!!! The actual number depends on the skills of the spellers and
the difficulty of your word list. For example, if you have very capable
spellers and a slightly easy word list, you'll need LOTS of words. If
you have average spellers with a very difficult word list, you won't
need nearly as many because spellers will drop out of the bee quickly.
In a classroom bee with 25 spellers of varying abilities, you should have at least 100 words.
words should be avoided?
Answer: Don't use words with more than one acceptable spelling. I also think it's best avoid words with apostrophes, hyphens and capital letters. You won't be short on words if you eliminates these!
Note that in the materials here at Spelling Words Well, we use the American spellings. If you are accustomed to British spellings, you'll have to alter a few of the words.
If you still want more details about "What is a Spelling Bee," or "How do I conduct a Bee?" you may be interested in my Spelling Bee
Toolbox eBooks. I also have extra eBooks of just words and
Be sure to have some extra, super-tough words available in case you need them. I've compiled a list of 100 Difficult Spelling Bee Words that is suitable for final rounds and/or adult spelling bees.
Hopefully you're no long asking, "What is a spelling bee?" But you might have other questions. Please submit them. We'll try to answer
them as
quickly as possible! See below for more Q/A...
A Canadian speller recently submitted this question. Here is my reply:
Dear D.,
Thanks for writing. You've asked a great question!
First, be sure that you study well in advance of the big event. Then, when the day arrives, you can help to calm those nerves by reminding yourself that you ARE prepared.
Secondly, remember that the other spellers are probably just as nervous as you are, even if they don't act that way.
Thirdly, remind yourself that this is only one big event out of many, many, many more you will experience throughout your life. If this goes really well, that's great! If it doesn't, don't worry about it. You will have many more opportunities in the coming months and years to do amazing things. That may help to take the pressure off.
Personally, when I am in challenging situations, I pray. If you are a person of faith, you can do that, too, and ask others who support you to do the same.
I hope these suggestions are helpful. Thanks again for writing!

high rev on start
I noticed this past week, that when I start the car, it jumps up revs to 2K and immediately drops down to normal. It is getting colder here, but I don't remember it doing this ever.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance..
Mine has done that a couple times.I think its normal or at least don't worry too much about it if it goes back to normal right after.
Thanks Cardboat. With 105K on it, one really notices new sounds and things that are different! Must be the colder weather...

Byte-Size TheTerminatorFans.com Review:
Terminator 3 disappoints fans of the franchise in that it is something and nothing,- a product of the time; it manages to create hope only to dash it with a sadly hollow attempt to recapture the awe of the first two movies. The fears inspired by T1 and T2 are substituted with cynical titillation in the form of the T-X (the female Terminator) and the rather neutered performance of Mr. Schwarzenegger.
Humor has replaced danger and risk, causing the third movie of the franchise to fall awfully short of the mark.
More than ten years after the last Terminator failed its objective to kill John Connor, the future leader of the Resistance exists in a state of limbo, living off the grid to reduce the threat of attack but SkyNet does not believe in failure, sending a new model back to end the fight for freedom before it has even begun.
The T-X, a machine even more advanced than the adaptable prototype the "T-1000".
However, another protector has also been sent back, the T-850 (CSM-101). SkyNet is steadily assuming control of all civilian computer systems in the guise of a computer virus. John has met his future wife, whose father- a U.S Air Force General- is in charge of the military computer systems and wary of connecting with the SkyNet software. As the SkyNet virus infects the U.S military computers, leaving the country open to attack, the deadly machines begin their horrific assault.
Can the outdated CSM-101 defeat the highly advanced T-X or will mankind enter a new darkness following the nuclear attack?
Fan Division:
The movie saw the machines trying to take on John Connor once again. T3 is quite possibly the least popular movie of the franchise with it's downfall being that the film was obviously aimed at a younger audience, mostly hated for it's comedy and mostly liked because of it's ending. Not a bad movie, just not an old school Terminator movie. It didn't break any new ground and came under most fire for being a simple rehash of Terminator 2. We could go on all day about it but the fact is the movie has both positives and negatives.

Schwarzenegger's Salary: $30 Million Dollars i making him at the time the highest paid actor in Hollywood.
This is the first Terminator movie to have no involvement from series creator James Cameron.
T3: Rise of the Machines Trivia:
A number of actors were in the running to play the T-X, Including: Vin Diesel, Shaquille O'Neal, Famke Janssen, and former WWE wrestler "Chyna" Joanie Laurer. Laurer's name was thrown into the mix by Arnold himself during an interview prior to filming.
Ang Lee was offered the directing role in this film but turned it down to do Hulk instead.
Aside from Arnold, the only other actor to appear in the first three movies is Earl Boen.
The exact date of Judgment Day is the 24th of July 2004, at 18:18 according to both the Terminator and the watch he examines at the beginning of the film.
Two of the air bases SkyNet is shown taking control of are "Moron Arfield" and "Batman Air base". These are actual military locations, Moron (pronounced) More-own Air Base is located in Spain and Batman Air Base is in Turkey.
Ridley Scott and John McTiernan were considered for the director's position after James Cameron turned down the job, saying that he had told the story completely after making Terminator 2: Judgement Day.
For a long time the studios wanted to make a sequel to the previous Terminator films but Arnold Schwarzenegger refused to do it unless James Cameron was directing. Cameron eventually told his old friend "do it and ask for a shit-load of money", saying the character is as much Arnold's as it was his.
Bankruptcy of Carloco and the legal wranglings delayed this movie by nearly a decade , otherwise we would have seen a T3 in 1996 written and directed by Cameron.
The very first Terminator unit ever appeared in T3: Rise of the Machines. When SkyNet went online so did these T-1 Units and if you get in their sights "YOU ARE TERMINATED".
The T-1 also appeared in Terminator Salvation but with a more rustic war driven look.
Arnold Schwarzenegger: The Terminator, Nick Stahl: John Connor, Claire Danes: Kate Brewster, Kristanna Loken: T-X, David Andrews: Robert Brewster, Mark Famiglietti: Scott Peterson, Earl Boen: Dr. Peter Silberman, Moira Harris: Betsy, Chopper Bernet: Chief Engineer, Christopher Lawford: Brewster's Aide, M.C Gainey: Roadhouse Bouncer.

Ok, I realized why some of you are so worked up. Cos I'm posting in the Item Requests section!
Should have been somewhere else. If mods would be kind enough to move wherever deemed fit.
My suggestion. Keep the ideas simple guys. Don't get too stressed up that it has to be a full blown business. Whatever that themeforest currently don't have is already a good idea.
As simple as that
This thread wasn't intended to be a debate what works, what doesnt. We're drifting here.
Most buyers here come because it's cheap to test their blog, online store, whatever ideas. Period. Otherwise they will take the money to a dev studio. They came here to fail fast often.
The purpose of this thread is to generate ideas for new innovative models instead of just creating ANOTHER theme. It creates value to the theme. Let's be constructive here guys.
If you are still going to argue about N reasons why it's not feasible, I urge you to rethink before hitting the Post button. I didn't say "I….." want you to create those ideas here. They were just examples you help with brainstorming. No one set any rules here.
Wordpress was meant for blogging. I already see support ticketing, travel booking, forums, marketplace, job/business directories, etc solutions here.
TommusRhodus said
Subscription Based: By Envato licensing, you'd only be able to sell this on an extended license, so every sale would have to be $2k+
Not the theme being subscription but the theme's ability to allow owners to sell products and services on subscription basis. eg. Scheduled cleaning services, Birchbox, scheduled car pool etc
TommusRhodus said
Thanks again, if there's something I'd love to see more of, it's "app themes" themes which really push CMS' way beyond what they were intended for, see the live chat theme by Chris Mooney, that's a great example of this.
I've seen it, gives it a zendesk feel. This is exactly where my post was heading.
I see a lot of you assume it has to be swanky, rock star, 5000 google engineer kind of model/theme. Keep your minds open, it's supposed to be idea generation. I'm just like any entrepreneur out there on the street sitting on the other side of the fence, authors.
PixelForces said
We are doing website / ecommerce themes here that priced around 50$, you suggest us to create a ready platforms on which you will then create your company, saving tens of thousands on development?
How many people want the create a "Real world sports betting", "Simple UE friendly courier delivery booking with tracking number"? I don't think much enough. And the author will spend much more time (and if he have enough programming skills) on developing something like this, and have a risk to sell 100-300 licenses only.Thank you for your ideas, I agree that there are not enough app or niche themes – that is the right way to move for the authors. But these exact your ideas sound more like a "ready online businesses", they take many months and teams of people to develop properly, otherwise you will get something looking like what you need, but not working.
You can go ahead and create more CMS/one-page themes no one is stopping you
New theme revenue models
Having browsed through themeforest several times over the years, I feel frustrated there aren't new themes that are build with new ecommerce models in mind. It's always the same Wordpress directory listing, news publication, hotel bookings or eCommerce traditional product retailing.
There are some innovative models from Wordpress themes like digital marketplace, job sites, crowdfunding but are very limited. (can count with my fingers)
Instead of building the next "nicer" Wordpress or eCommerce theme, consider one with an innovative revenue model never seen before. Here are some examples currently not found at themeforest:
This might be helpful although innovative breakthrough models would be most ideal:
You may ask, if I can create myself, why don't I run that innovative model myself? Here's why:
Let the entrepreneurs out there take the risk by trying your theme. And not to forget, the innovative new theme you created could be used by a theme buyer differently from the initial way you intended which you would never have thought of in the first place.
Ideas contributors out there: Add your theme ideas here and I will compile here at the top

Envato won't bother.
I was the one who restarted this thread quite sometime ago and look where it got to now?
Envato is TOO BIG to fail so they won't consider anything unless it makes them more profits.
Too proud to listen.
the type of messages above are semi spam messages.
Is always someone who show up, post this outrageous message about how envato is all evil and he will not purchase anything anymore.
I'm quit sure is the same guy showing up at intervals.Not to minimize the problem off course but if I look at my statement, I can see buyers purchasing projects that cost 20$ (perfect for deposit) and they pay 22$.
You are "quite" sure. Any statistics to back? Another marketplace seller trying to campaign against abolishing $2 "fees".
I have followed this thread long enough to tell.
Oh wait, the sellers are afraid the "fees" starts eating into their profits one day if the payment rules start changing against their favor.
But hey, the king decides who he feeds. I see some things I don't like, i just take my money else where
After 21 days, an old thread is being dug out by yet another disgruntled buyer. Just proves 1 point.
Envato still fails to listen to it's community, ignoring our pleas to remove surcharge.
sniperatic said
I just looked into this, I may be wrong as I haven't got all day.
4d. Sellers may not charge a surcharge for accepting PayPal as a payment method.
PayPal is an eBay company, and this restriction is quite clear.
Section 4.2 including 4d is for eBay sellers only.It does not apply to Envato.
Erm, where do you get this idea from?
I'm guessing you are new to the credit card and payment processing industry. Payment processors will never want merchants to separate payment acceptance cost with the product cost. This is a PR thing and it's against processors/card associations interest to have merchant separate processing cost to consumer. It makes them look "bad". Let me know when you find a restaurant that includes "Payment Surcharges" in their receipt.
It has nothing to do with Paypal being singled out as a payment operator but rather an added benefit for Paypal users who can now buy that same item without paying a $20 deposit. I'm not seeing anything wrong with this picture.
If you really don't want to incur the $2 fee, the whole point of this aged thread, then say so. Do not hide behind Paypal's TOS.
Again, yet another seller trying to paint the beautiful Picasso picture that Envato is doing us a "favour" by charging us $2 "surcharge" and allowing us to buy without depositing $20.
Another note: It's quite amazing how Evanto staffs choose to watch and hoping this thread goes away so they won't have to deal with it.

The 11th round of negotiations for a trilateral free trade agreement between China, Japan, and South Korea was held in Beijing on January 11.
According to a statement from the Chinese Ministry of Commerce, they engaged in an "in-depth exchange of views on important issues such as trade in goods, trade in services, and investment."
Negotiations towards a trilateral FTA began in November 2012, but progress has been slow.
At the last round of talks in November 2016, all parties agreed that the talks should be completed as quickly as possible while efforts to support the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) agreement should also be redoubled. The RCEP aims to bring together the existing FTAs of China, Japan, South Korea, India, Australia, and New Zealand with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations
However, from the outset, there have been difficulties in agreeing the market access list of goods to be made exempt from import duties. For example, Japan is said to want many of its industrial products to benefit from tariff cuts, whilst also protecting its agricultural sector.
