Oh, and Hyvanna? I've only made one exception to the "no Country" rule: Taylor Swift's "Love Story". (In Eclipse for a very happy-happy-joy-joy scene (though it's Alice who's jumping up and down in joy, rather than Bella)).
And only because her sister and I threatened to tie her down and tickle-torture her if she refused.

Now...I have to prepare myself for tomorrow...I hate tomorrow. 9/11/2001. The thoughts, feelings, emotions, smells, and mind movies came fast and furious this time of year. (posted about this as well..http://www.survivinginfidelity.com/forums.asp?tid=507232&HL=38619) There is no distraction available, even though my fWH is trying really hard, to make me forget what tomorrow symbolizes. I'm afraid that 9/11 and my fWH's A are becoming entwined, and I cannot disrespect my friends and co-workers that way. I know others on SI have had to deal with traumatic events, and the A, and I would love to know how you managed it.
Ugh....I honestly do know what I'm trying to say here. Just need to get it out.
Sorry for the rambling.
There is a young girl at DD's school who's birthday is 9/11 and DD said that she cries every year. They're very young kids but still full of empathy and learning about it all.
Anyway...your topic of triggers spoke to me because I've been working on them, too...I want more of my life back and the triggers are holding me down, so I've been searching for ways to cope.
One coping mechanism that I can share from a counselor takes time but is worth it. She told me to change my thinking when "trigger thoughts" enter my head and to start that is to be aware that it's happening. That the thoughts are happening.
For me, the triggers cause panic and that's something I'm learning to understand more of in order to fend it off.
She also said that being aware of surroundings and the present are helpful reminders that we are "ok". She would remind me to tell myself that I was ok and even things like the date and time or a trivial to do list help make the day more routine and can combat a trigger. Then there is the activity on the list and today to think about instead and later, at night, an accomplishment for the day that was today and not the past. It's not to discount the past, but to try to not make it so huge in our minds.
A person is a person, no matter how small. -Dr. Suess
Perserverance and spirit have done wonders in all ages.

Funny thing about those Greeks – after the close on Monday, they remembered their country was the birthplace of democracy. Thus, they decided their people should vote on the bailout package that has broken their economy, is going to break their banks and pension funds in the coming weeks, and will put the economy into a five-year recession.
Sounds appropriate — except that in all countries, not just in Greece — most politicians have no understanding of the impact on financial markets and the European, U.S. and world economies of a rejection of the bailout.
In other words, there is not one chance in a million that the Greek people will be made to understand what will happen if they reject the bailout.
What would a "no" vote mean? And what would it mean for an investor in the good old U.S. of A., wondering why the vote of a few million people in Greece could ruin their retirement, their kids' college funds, and their plans to buy that foreclosed house or that used yacht on eBay?
There are two views on the matter, so far.
View No. 1: This is a negotiating ploy – and a very crafty one, I might add – by Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou. The referendum on the bailout is scheduled for January.
He wants better terms – less austerity so the Greeks can continue to employ an unspeakable number of public workers … more capital at a very low cost for the Greek banks (all of them insolvent after the 50% haircut on Greek debt goes through) … and a promise Greece will not be kicked out of the Eurozone if they hit some very soft budget targets.
View No. 2: Papandreou is somewhat sincere. He believes the people need to vote on their future, and the vote will determine if his government falls and a new election is required to find a new set of politicians to negotiate with the powers-that-be in Europe for a different kind of bailout.
Both views have, at their center, a political calculus by the Greek prime minister that is both cunning and terribly flawed.
It is cunning because, alone among the Europeans, he recognizes time is not an independent variable. The longer the uncertainty, the more the bond market loses faith in the debt of Greece, Portugal, Ireland, Spain, Italy and, whoops, France.
Plus, he stands a chance of getting better terms as markets deteriorate and the crisis spreads.
However, it is terribly flawed because the Greek voters do not really matter. The only voters that matter are those paragons of fiscal virtue, the good Germans — those people who are happy excoriating others while their own banks are the worst-capitalized in the developed world. But hey, some dumb banks had to loan money so people could buy our products and keep unemployment up.
Let's put away the current events analysis and focus on you – what can you, the individual investor, do?
Your Short-Term Trading Strategy
Right now, you need to be very wary of putting new money to work on the long side unless it is very long-term – i.e., three years or more – capital.
The short-term trades – i.e., two months or less — are all about fear. Those include gold and its cousins (the gold miners and silver) and volatility. Be sure to keep a close eye on the CBOE Volatility Index (CBOE:VIX[1]), the market measure of volatility that's sometimes referred to as the "fear index."
There is no way to know tomorrow's headlines. Plus, you don't necessarily need to own anything if you are focused on the short term. The way to play it, then, is to sell puts on key stocks and Exchange-Traded Funds. That way, you get to collect some short-term cash while the Greek tragedy keeps adding new acts.
Sell puts on the SPDR Gold Trust ETF (AMEX:GLD[2]), the Gold Miners ETF (AMEX:GDX[3]), the Silver ETF (AMEX:SLV[4]) and the iPath S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN (AMEX:VXX[5]), which is the ETF for the VIX.
I also like the very obvious play on the dollar going up as the euro falls. The ETF for the dollar is the PowerShares U.S. Dollar Index Bullish (AMEX:UUP[6]). A good way to play UUP is to buy it and then sell calls against it (i.e., the covered call strategy).
Your Longer-Term Trading Strategy
Even before this latest Athenian hiccup, some great names were selling very cheap. These are strong covered-call candidates to ride throughout the turmoil.
My favorites are GLD, SLV, Deere & Co. (NYSE:DE[7]), Potash (NYSE:POT[8]), Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL[9]), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN[10]), Ford (NYSE:F[11]), General Motors (NYSE:GM[12]) and a gold miner, Newmont Mining (NYSE:NEM[13]).
To get started, you'll build positions in 100-share increments and, five nanoseconds after you own them, turn around and sell short-term calls against them.
All of these names not only have monthly options, but they offer weekly options as well.
If Apple is at the same price a year from now, you can generate the equivalent of a 15%-24% dividend. This is pretty much the story for all these names.
You can take the cash and spend it … or you can average down your costs by buying more shares … or you can use it to hedge your entire portfolio against Greek democracy by buying some way, way out-of-the-money puts on the S&P 500, as a "just in case" trade.
Things are going to get more volatile — and even-more interesting — before we can see clearly what is gong to happen in Athens, Berlin, Europe, here and throughout the world markets. Stay tuned!

To-Do ListWe're very sorry, but we've temporarily disabled this feature while we fix some bugs. Thank you for your patience.
Progress Journal
Right, 5 days on and I'm starting to paint the sword. I should hopefully have all the painting and detailing done by Tuesday. Then I have the rest of Tuesday and Wednesday to concentrate on finishing the rest of this costume.
UGH. I have NEVER cut it this close before. And i don't like it! >__<
Sword Beginnings
At first it was a pole, a box and some masking tape.
Now its a mummifed sword. That is about an inch TALLER THAN ME.
But that's okay! That's accurate. And it doesn't look quite so laughable as I first though. X__X
No oppertunity to paper maché tonight, so will have to do the first layer tomorrow after work.
Sword start
Okay. Its a week and a half until Aya and I'm starting my sword now. What am I, daft?
Apparently so.
I have a broom handle which is about my height (so like, perfect in sword to height ratio) and I have cardboard. I'll be making the skeleton shape tonight and the first layer of paper maché I hope.
I'm hoping to have all the layers of paper maché done and dusted by Friday. Then use the weekend for priming and sanding. And then the days I have off before Aya to get it painted!
That's the plan. X___x
And more armour...
Well - more armour has been done.
I've made and painted the 5 amulets that are on the costume. These have been reinforced with buckrum and will be attached with clips to hold them in place.
The same has ben done for the leg and shoulder armour. I still need to varnish the amullets, but I'm sure sure about doing so, as they look okay as they do.
Uhm... the obi belt is nearly finished. I have to add velcro cause the stupid snap fasteners keep coming undone. UHM. Yeah... I'm nearly done. I need tog et a stick to make the sword. And make the leggings and shoes.
Uh... more armour
The summer makes paint dry quickly, so I'm making short work of the armour. I have to paint the underside of the shoulder and leg armour. Just one coat, and then sew them to the kimono... which I'm not looking forward to. =__=
The helmet is pretty much finished. It needs varnishing, and a bit of a touch up where bristles from my paint brush got left behind. >_< But yeh, almost done there. Then going to get started on the five amulets on the front of the kimono. The leggings and head band I'll get started on once I have the material, which I'll be getting on Friday. The shoes I'm just on the look out for black wedge flip flop things... which are going to be evil to wear because I HATE flipflops with a vengance.
UHm... yeah... I had more to say, but its nearly half one in the morning and i'm not feeling that coherant.
well, I started the armour yesterday and got the big bits made. That is the shoulder, leg and helmet. I will do armour for the feet and the hands, but not going to get started on that yet.
Anyway. I've painted the armour black at the moment. I'm going to get some purple paint and mix it with silver to get the kind of mauve/silver sheen on it.
Skirt done, on to armour
The under skirt is finished, all neatly trimmed with yellow bias. Fits pretty well and is a good length, so I won't flash anyone when I sit or bend down. Though I'm going to wear hotpants with this, anyway!
I'm off to my dad's for 2 weeks as of tomorrow, so I'm taking a lot of sewing and bits with me. I'm planning to get started on the helmet and armour while I'm there. I have an idea of how to do it which involves craft foam, buckrum and glue... but we'll see how it goes.
On the way
So, the main kimono robe is complete and lined on the edges with the correct colour. I'm going to check screenshots, but I'm pretty sure that's all there is to this kimono.
The boob tube is also finished - not that it was particularly difficult to do.
The blue obi belt is half way done. I need to make it a bit skinniner as its too thick at the moment. And I'll need some yellow cotton to make the yellow belt that ties around the middle, instead of using left over yellow bias tape.
The uber skirt is also about half way. Its all sewn and elasticated to stay up; I have the slit pinned open and am going to be pinning the yellow bias tape on the edging shortly and then sewing it.
I want to get started on the helmet and armour pretty soon.
Bias binding
I have green bias binding and yello bias binding to start the lining on the kimono and the skirt.
I want to get the skirt elasticated tonight so I can get the lining bits done tomorrow while invading Caylithe's house. :B
Making headway
So most of the main kimono is in progress. I have to buy some green binding for the edges of the kimono, and yellow binding for the skirt. The skirt also needs elastic around the waist to it stays up.
The boob tube is pretty much done, and got done in about two hours. It needs a bit of taking in around the back as its a touchy gapey at the moment, but that's not exactly a vexing task.
I'll be taking buckrum and craft foam over to my dad's in the next week to get started on all the armour and hopefully make a start on the helmet. Maybe... >.>
Productive, productive
Today was most productive! I had the fabulous Chevi at my house and having someone around also sewing always makes me want to sew more! So I managed to get my kimono sewn together from a Simplicity pattern and the sleeves added. Also managed on the obi belt as well.
The kimono is made from poly cotton, as is the obi belt with iron in vilene. I will be adding all the different lining colours, and making the skirt very shortly! As well as getting started on the armour. :)

I've been on a Diwali kick for the last couple of days. Yesterday: Saravanaa Bhavan and today: Prayag Raj.
I would like to thank grayelf for supplying the first intel on this place. She reported on the Urban Diner site that a newish Gujarati restaurant just opened in Vancouver at Kingsway and Joyce. This is the only Gujarati restaurant we have in town (...we had one many years ago butit had since closed, grayelf also reported.)
Gujarati food (from Western India) is vegetarian and is typically light (in both body and spiciness), fresh, and slightly sweet. Wikipedia can elaborate on this cuisine better than me : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gujarati...
I tried the Diwali special Gujarati thali and the Bhindi (fried okra). The spicing is subtle and nuanced. The food tasted fresh, light and healthy.
Prayag Raj is an excellent addition to the Vancouver ethnic scene... And definitely an excellent alternative to the predominantly Northern Indian scene in town. I cannot wait to go back.
Happy Diwali.

SINGAPORE, Aug. 10 (UPI) -- Singapore's new prime minister, Lee Hsien Loon, who will be officially sworn in Thursday, included few surprises in announcing his Cabinet lineup Tuesday.
Former Prime Minister Goh Tock Tong will become senior minister, the de facto number two in the government, and will also take over the chairmanship of the Monetary Authority of Singapore.
Former Senior Minister Lee Kuan Yew, the prime minister's father, will carry the newly created title of "minister mentor."
Lee will also keep two long-serving ministers as his deputies. Tony Tan will remain as deputy prime minister and coordinating minister for security, though it was also announced he would retire next June and then be replaced by Wong Kan Seng, the home affairs minister.
Professor S. Jayakuma, the former foreign affairs minister, was promoted to deputy prime minister and minister for law. He will chair a Cabinet committee on foreign policy matters that cut across different ministries. He will also remain in charge of foreign policy issues that involve legal negotiations or international adjudication.
The prime minister will retain his post as finance minister.

Manavoori Pandavulu
Read more...
Manavoori Pandavulu( మన ఊరి పాండవులు ) released in 1978 is another classic from Bapu-Ramana (Mullapudi Venkata Ramana) duo dealing with the struggle against the feudal system in their own unique way.
Director: Bapu
Writer: Mullapudi Venkata Ramana ( screenplay and dialogue )
Producer: Jaya Krishna ( Jayakrishna Movies)
Music: K. V. Mahadevan
Cinematography: Balu Mahendra
Lyrics: Arudra, Kosaraaju
Playback singers: S. P. Balasubrahmanyam, S.P. Sailaja, P. Susheela
Story:- The film revolves around Krishna (played by Krishnam Raju) who brings together an unlikely group of 5 youngsters to help in creating awareness among their villagers to revolt against the cruel village head, Rambhoopal (Rao Gopal Rao) and his henchmen. Even though being a revolutionary theme, the movie was wonderfully made without the usual noise that accompanies the leftist movies and fashioned on the lines of the great epic Mahabharatham. Amazing performances by all the actors (Krishnam Raju,Raogopal Rao, Allu Ramalingaiah etc.) and wonderful technical backup make this movie another classic from Bapu. The film also has Chiranjeevi as a very young actor (his second movie to be released) in the role of Parthu.

Whooping cough vaccine is extended
A whooping cough vaccination programme for expectant mothers is to be extended for the next five years.
Health Minister Edwin Poots said the immunisation, offered to pregnant women between 28 weeks and 38 weeks, provided the best protection for newborn babies.
The vaccination was introduced in September 2012 following a national whooping cough (pertussis) outbreak. It aims to boost the short-term immunity passed on by women to their babies while they are still in the womb.
Dr Richard Smithson, consultant in health protection at the Public Health Agency, said it had been "highly effective" in protecting infants.
He said: "Babies born to women vaccinated at least a week before delivery generally had a 91% reduced risk of becoming ill with whooping cough in their first weeks of life, compared with babies whose mothers had not been vaccinated."

Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert broke two ribs and shattered a third in a bicycle crash over the weekend.
Leppert was moving a little slowly at a city council meeting and later said it was due to a crash at L.B. Houston Nature Trails on Saturday.
The mayor also hit his head in the crash, but the helmet he was wearing protected him. The latter is doubly-good since helmets are mandated by city code.
Leppert is expected to be OK and is moving through his schedule as fast as his ribs will let him -- though he did say they are slowing him down.

I1 Profiler tray icon
May 30, 2012
I am calibrating my display with Xrite's I1Profiler and their I1 Display Pro puck. As part of the installation it installs a tray icon on the task bar which I am ok with. What bugs me is when I reboot my pc the tray icon is gray. Then after about 15 minutes or so it turns green. What does the green color signify? Why does it take so long to turn green from gray?

DENVER -- Coffee future prices for coffee beans are rising, which could mean higher prices at the 'pump' for java drinkers.
Arabica beans accounted for 60 percent of the world's 153.3 million bags of coffee output last year, with the rest lower-grade robusta used in instant coffees.
Brazil produced about half of last year's Arabica crop. But the recent dry years in Brazil and disease which has hit beans, have all caused a bit of a shortage in production which in turn could cost you more for a cup of coffee.
"I am not sure how high a cup would have to cost to keep me from making my own or going for the buck cup at McDonald's," said Aaron Steinke, who was conducting business over one of his two cups of espresso at St. Mark's Coffee House on 17th and Vine in Denver.
"If prices get to be like five or six buck a cup, then I may change my habit," he says.
While prices will hold steady for now, the $80 billion U.S. industry will keep a close eye on how high beans will go.
Futures in New York jumped 85 percent this year to $2.053 a pound. By May, some predict futures may reach $3, the highest since 2011.
For now, most will continue to enjoy their coffee at a price point which doesn't reflect any futures' hikes that could be passed on going forward.

My friend Jessica and I have a lot in common. Our husbands work together, we both have two year old daughters, we're both currently pregnant, and we both love Asian food. So, every few weeks, we get together for dinner at various restaurants around town to discuss life over rice. Last week, we met up for Vietnamese, and I've been craving a good veggie stir-fry ever since…not to mention spring rolls and peanut sauce. I could seriously drink peanut sauce.
Anyway, tonight, I wowed CD with an Asian inspired dinner…mostly because any night I actually make dinner is kind of "wow" worthy.
My creation served over steamed black rice.
While Chris took the girls on a walk, Charlie and I chopped veggies, minced some garlic, and did a little stir-frying. The adults enjoyed. The kids demanded cheese. We caved. They'll eat veggies someday, right?!?
HEAB's I Need Asian Food NOW Stir-Fry
Adapted from Skinny Taste's Spring Stir Fried Chicken
The Sauce
- 1 TBSP tamari
- 1 TBSP fig jam (apricot would be good too)
- 2 TBSP fresh lemon juice
- 4 TBSP water
- 2 tsp cornstarch
The Stir-Fry
- 3 carrots, sliced
- 1 cup sugar snap peas
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 3 cups greens of choice (I used romaine lettuce)
- 2 TBSP toasted sesame seed oil
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Combine sauce ingredients and set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and then the garlic and ginger, stir for 20 seconds.
- Then add the sugar snap peas, mushrooms, and carrots, stirring over medium high heat until tender crisp, about 5 minutes. Add your greens and continue cooking until wilted.
- Add the sauce mixture, mix well, and cook another 30 seconds to one minute.
- Serve atop rice.
And for dessert? Peanut sauce! Not really – I ate a few handfuls of chocolate chips, but a bowl full of rice with peanut sauce would have been perfect.

Today's scholars know James's psychology primarily through his great Principles of Psychology (1890), but those who studied the subject at the turn of the century were more apt to learn his view through his Psychology: Briefer Course (1892). Indeed, professors at colleges and universities throughout the United States use this bookwhich their students labeled "Jimmy" to distinguish it from the larger "James"in their classes, and more than six times as many copies of the Briefer Course were sold by 1902 as were sets of Principles.
Despite its title, the Briefer Course is more than a simple condensation of the larger work. For example, to the material from Principles James added several chapters on the physiology of the senses that helped mesh his psychology with the other sciences of the period. The earlier chapter title "The Stream of Thought" is replaced here with "The Stream of Consciousness." Psychology: Briefer Course remains a useful and highly readable introduction to James's views on psychology and is an essential source for anyone interested in studying all of his psychological writings.
American psychologist and philosopher James (1842-1910) examines a wide range of topics such as the importance and physical basis of habit, stream of consciousness, self and the sense of personal identity, discrimination and association, the sense of time, memory, perception, imagination, reasoning, emotions compared to instincts, the will and voluntary acts, and other subjects. This brief version omits the long-outdated first nine chapters of his original two-volume treatise. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

GREENBELT, Md., Oct. 4 (UPI) -- NASA says it next mission to Mars has been cleared for takeoff amid fears the U.S. government shutdown could cause it to miss its launch window.
The Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN mission, or MAVEN, was set for launch as early as Nov. 18.
"I learned this morning that NASA has analyzed the MAVEN mission relative to the Anti-Deficiency Act and determined that it meets the requirements allowing an emergency exception," Bruce Jakosky, MAVEN's lead scientist based at the University of Colorado in Boulder, said in an email to the Los Angeles Times.
MAVEN will be a crucial communications relay between Earth and the Mars rovers Curiosity and Opportunity, he said, replacing the aging Mars Odyssey, launched in 2001, and the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter that went into orbit around the Red Planet in 2006.
During the government shutdown NASA has furloughed 97 percent of its nearly 18,000 workers, putting all but the most essential activities on hiatus.
If MAVEN had missed its launch windows it could have been grounded for several years until the alignment of Earth and Mars provided the next available launch window, NASA said.
Scientists welcomed news of the go-ahead for the MAVEN mission.
"Wow, that's good news," UCLA planetary scientist David Paige, who was not involved in the mission, said.
"The whole notion that they wouldn't launch this thing is just appalling," he said. "You have this whole rocket almost on the launchpad."

NEW PRODUCT – Adafruit 24-Channel 12-bit PWM LED Driver – SPI Interface – TLC5947 – For all of you out there who want to control 24 channels of PWM, we salute you! We also would like you to check out this breakout board for the TLC5947 PWM driver chip. This chip can control 24 separate channels of 12-bit PWM output. Designed (and ideal) for LED control, this board is not good for driving servos. If you need to drive servos, we have a controller for that over here.
Only three "SPI" pins are required to send data (our Arduino library shows how to to use any digital microcontroller pins). Best of all, the design is completely chainable. As long as there's enough power for all the boards you can chain as many as you'd like, like a little trail of blue PCBs stretching out into the sunset. Each of the 24 output's is constant-current and open drain. You can drive multiple LEDs in series, with a V+ anode supply of up to 30V. If you want to drive something that requires a digital input, you must use a pullup resistor from the drive pin to your logic level to create the full waveform.
One resistor is used to set the current for each of the outputs, the constant current means that the LED brightness doesn't vary if the power supply dips. We use a 3.3K resistor for about 15mA but you can solder a thru-hole resistor over it if you'd like to change that value. Check the TLC5947 datasheet for details on resistor-to-current values.
We include a few extras to make this board easy to use: a durable 5V low-dropout regulator (with reverse polarity protection in case y'know, you plug it in backwards), a green power-good LED, four mounting holes and a current-set resistor. A bit of 0.1″ header is also included so you can solder it on and plug into a breadboard.
To use: Power V+ with 5-30VDC, and connect ground to the common ground. Then send 3-5V logic SPI data on DIN (data in), CLK (clock) and LAT (latch). If you'd like to quickly turn off all the outputs, drop the OE pin – it's pulled high by default. Our Arduino library will get you started with blinking LEDs, install it and run the example code with the noted pin configuration.

Startup claims single-clock I/O technology
Post a comment
Startup Align Engineering has come out of its stealth period with what it claims is a circuit technology breakthrough for simple chip-to-chip communication using a single-clock domain. Align Lock Loop (ALL) is said to provide a cost-effective alternative to today's serializer/deserializer (serdes) I/O designs.
"In the evolution of I/O, the goal has always been higher speed with fewer pins," said Align Engineering founder and CEO Bryan Hoyer (Friday Harbor, Wash.). "Align offers a viable alternative to complex serdes I/O."
A serializer/deserializer is a transceiver that converts parallel data to serial data and vice versa. Align's technology turns every low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) pair into a complete serdes solution in a single clock domain, eliminating multiple expensive clock data recovery (CDR) devices and associated phase-locked loops (PLLs), Hoyer said. LVDS can run at very high speeds over inexpensive, twisted-pair copper cables.
"Creating a single-clock environment has a positive impact on initial design simulation, cost and simplicity. It is also offers a substantial improvement in interoperability and time-to-market," said Hoyer.
In operation, the Align Lock Loops' master circuit transmits encoded data, and the slave circuit aligns the data and transmits it back to the master using the recovered clock. "The advantage of such a scheme is that a master CDR and PLL are eliminated, and the design and verification takes place in a single clock domain," said Hoyer.
ALLs are protocol-agnostic and complement Ethernet PCI Express (PCIe) and other backplane specs, he said, describing the loops as "ideal for chip-to-chip, board-to-board and chips-off-board applications."
Hoyer cited a typical two-chip example to illustrate ALLs' claimed benefits. The true-and-true methods for connecting an FPGA with an A/D converter, he said, are either too I/O-intensive (the source-synchronous method) or too expensive (the common serdes method). By contrast, ALLs use a pair of I/Os between the chips with a phase control and phase adjuster circuit in the respective transmitting and receiving circuits of the two chips. The technique is only limited by the speed of the I/O, said Hoyer; as I/O gets faster, so do the ALLs.
"We are in discussions with FPGA companies and other companies where a partnership to bring the technology forward makes sense," said Hoyer, an industry veteran who sold his startup Boulder Creek Engineering, a test and measurement company, to Altera in 1999. Recently, Hoyer helped launched Samplify Systems, a venture-backed startup selling compression IP. Today, Align Engineering has sparse visibility, but Hoyer is sure his company's efforts will win attention.
"Our business model is straightforward," he said. "We want to prove our technology in silicon with a technology demonstration in the fourth quarter. We are going to provide turnkey solutions, work with IP partners and FPGA vendors and at the same time increase performance of our technology. "
Hoyer also said he is eager to gauge interest among the end-user community to provide the needed inputs for chip vendors to incorporate the single-clock methodology in future ICs.

During a recent trip to Seattle, I took a tour of Theo Chocolate, the first and only organic and fair trade chocolate factory in the United States. During the tour, I learned that their founder, Joseph Whinney, pioneered the supply of organic cocoa beans into the United States in 1994 prior to opening Theo in March 2006. I was intrigued by his story, so I decided to correspond with him via e-mail.
What motivated you to start Theo Chocolate?
The motivation for starting Theo goes back over 15 years when I was a volunteer in Central America working with indigenous cocoa farmers. In short, I want to help make the world a better place by making wonderful chocolate that is good for the planet and the people. I also love food, and delicious, rich chocolate is an important part of a well-balanced life. I think that it's important for each of us to vote with our dollars as consumers. I've learned that enlightenment without engagement is dead spirituality. Unless we all act, not only in our charitable practices but in purchasing ethical products, we cannot effect change.
Can you briefly explain what fair trade certified chocolate is?
Fair trade certification verifies that the cocoa we buy and use in our products is grown by farmers who DO NOT use forced or slave labor, that the farmer's children have access to education, that the farmers are democratically organized, and that they are paid a premium for their product. I believe that fair trade is important and a good start. However, at Theo we pay substantially higher premiums than required by fair trade certifiers because we price our cocoa based on quality.
What are the criteria for evaluating that the chocolate you produce is "organic?"
Organic chocolate is chocolate that uses ingredients that are not grown, handled, or manufactured with chemical agricultural inputs. Organic growing practices respect the environment and help to insure a healthy environment for future generations.

The end of the Space Shuttle program last month brought a nostalgic mood to my house. Generations of us were molded by the attainment of the impossible. My grandparents' generation experienced the first airplanes, jet travel, rockets orbiting the earth, humans walking on the moon, and landing a reusable spacecraft like an airplane. It seemed that as humans dreamed it, we did it.
Space travel sparked hope. It provided goals and frontiers - more to achieve. Life was shinier with unknown potential lurking on the horizon. Girls and boys alike fantasized about being astronauts - science and math were palatable. "Star Trek," "Star Wars," "Battlestar Galactica" - we were glued to all of it. Even the "Six Million Dollar Man" was an astronaut - oh, and don't forget "I Dream of Jeannie."
In my house, the nostalgia had us digging out the "From the Earth to the Moon" DVD set. It's a fabulous account of those awe-inspiring Apollo missions - where Mercury and Gemini left off - and Space Lab and the Shuttle would pick up.
When I watch those episodes, my heart swells. It's a thing of beauty what humans can do. The '60s and '70s had no laptops, no fiber optics, no cell phones. Those guys were using slide rules and punch cards. Thousands of people across the country had to do their jobs 100 percent right - from the people mopping floors to the people strategizing plans and acquiring funding. Everyone did his/her job to their maximum capacity and, together, we went to the moon in a tin can with less computing power than a Wal-Mart calculator. Absolutely amazing. It blows me away.
When I think about the capabilities we all hold within, and know that some of us tick away the precious minutes of our finite lives prostrate on a couch watching an inane, reality-TV show, I almost want to cry.
What would the world look like if everyone engaged their talents - worked to their capacity? If the focus shifted from Twinkies to inventions? From advertising gimmicks to cures for cancer? From vapid television shows to a garden?
We wouldn't flounder in self-pity. We wouldn't eat to obesity. We wouldn't sit so long our bodies became incapable of carrying us. We would exalt our individual and collective greatness. We would greet each day with our fullest capacity - anxious to show the world what we can contribute.
If "we" can get to the moon, surely "you" can get healthy and fit.

I was inspired to do huge arrangements when my lily broke. Please join in. I know you like to make hugeous arrangements.
Theme - Bigger is Better
Beautiful presentation Candee! Great new theme, Thank you!
The set of three look so well balanced, leading the eyes up and down, love it! Good use of foliage too.
Thanks, just kinda happened as that huge lily broke and I needed to save it. It was a great idea because the smell in the house is lucious.
I have only two lilies that are almost of the same size as yours. I have had them for years, started with two, continued with two. They never multiplied. You are lucky to have so many, and so tall and lovely. Here is an arrangement from last year. I won't get to do a repeat this year because the buddleja bush was blown over late last fall. The bush was over 12 feet tall.
Very nice so sorry your bush blew over. Is it going to sprout again as I believe they are hard to kill.
Candee - there was a couple of seedlings around the area, so I saved one and transplanted that. Not sure if it will be the same as the parent plant, but I guess it is a good way to rejuvenate an overgrown plant.
Very lovely arrangement happgarden. I do exactly the same thing too! Plus the fact that the arrangement is out in public reminds me to deal with it as soon as it gets wilty - I tend to leave my arrangements at home out forever and the water ends up being really gross. LoL.
Looks like you got peonies in your garden too. They are my favorites.
Oh yes, that beautiful green slimey water, especially since I live on a well....I know that water too well....LOL
Yes, I love peonies also, that one in the center was huge when it opened up.
Course haven't met too many flowers I haven't like.....big problem.....
Very nice colors there happgarden. The peony really makes it!
Thank you. It was all strickly by accident, I don't have a clue what I was trying to do, other than enjoy my flowers since I can't be home with them....LOL
Great job you guys! Love the photos!
Hi Happgarden, how are you? Beatiful flowers, love the bright colours! Nice seeing you here again.
Thanks for the arrangment!
London, I am doing great. Good to "see" you again. I love iris, and the peony just looked like a big bow tie to me.....LOL
Have you got your greenhouse yet? LoL!
Due to the down turn in the economy....LOL I have chosen to hold off.
I will buy one before the end of 2010, I am scraping together every pence I can find....LOL even every penny.
cents over there isn't it? lol What Biggie are you going to make next here on bigger is better???
I'm still thinking about it, luckily Candee is out of town for a few days! Guess where she has gone? her Granchild is about to be born, how lovely! this news is hot off the press. lol.

Congrats to Candee, she will have so much fun.
We have pennies or a penny, my understanding in UK it is penny for singular pence? Or has all of that changed with the Euro?
Surely someone has been doing big flowers? Only thing I have in bloom currently are daylilies (can you even use daylily in an arrangement?), a few lilies but I hate to cut them and hydrangea and that only takes one.....
I sure wish they lasted a couple of days, not sure one. They are SO pretty!!!!
Great arrangement, so happy and pretty.
You know, it might be worth doing an arrangement like that and take to work, cause I won't get to see the daylilies anyway when I am working because the flowers will be fading by the time I get home....A thought.
We don't have any penny candy anymore either, I think penny candy is probably 10 pennys......
I remember that one Terri. It was really clever the way you dressed up the pitcher.
I just posted this in the yard to vase thread, but I figure it is big enough to fit here in this theme too LoL.
Especially since Candee is gone for a few days so I wanted to help her keep up this thread while she is gone.
Happgarden and Sallysbloom - this is the thread for posting garden photos and arrangements - come on over and post some of your yard.
What a beautiful arrangement, are those glads? If they are I didn't think I like them....oh no another flower I like.....LOL
Thanks Sally!
Good idea Happgarden, get snipping.. lol!
In the old days, we could get half penny sweets with a half penny coin!
Great arrangement Dianne. I'm sure Candee will be happy!
I am very happy you all are holding down the fort. Steve got his pain management treatment today and we are leaving in the morning. This one is a grandson!
Keep all the fires burning for me while away and enjoy your week everyone!
How long will you be gone for? missing you already!!! Glad Steve got his treatment, say Hi!!! what number would he like for his sunflower?? did you even ask him last time???? LOL. Have a wonderful time.
Have a great trip!
What a great arrangement!
Thank you Sally!
Terri, what is that red down below the zinnia, can't quite make it out? Sure is colorful and bright.
Pretty stuff.
Such a pretty color!
Thanks Candee and Sally. It's a strange plant, I really wanted to grow it because it's very expensive at the florists and I've hardly used it for arrangements. Now that I have it growing, I don't know what to make with it... LoL!

No-one should expect to see the 23-year-old making any public appearances any time soon.
Gina was ushered back into the family home in West Cleveland, hidden in a yellow hoodie and hugged closely by family members.
The only outward response to the crowd chanting her name was a thumbs-up as she climbed out of the car.
Her father has spent the last decade fighting to keep his daughter's plight in the public eye. The emotion for him and Gina's mother Nancy was all too evident.
"I knew she needed me and I never gave up. I never gave up searching for her," Mr DeJesus said.
"This is the best Mother's Day present anyone could hope for."
Gina's aunt, Sandra Ruiz, thanked neighbours and officials who had brought her niece home and called for greater attention to the cases of other missing persons.
In particular, she referred to the family of Ashley Summers who disappeared in 2007 at the age of 14, and whose case had been linked to those of Gina and Amanda Berry.
Experts have warned that the women, along with their fellow captive Michelle Knight, face a long and slow process of returning to normality.
They were freed from the home of Ariel Castro on Monday, his property is just a few miles from where they had disappeared.
The DeJesus family have held annual vigils since Gina disappeared and have expressed anger at the initial response of police.
Neighbour Charlene Milam said that the community had never given up hope that the day would come when Gina would walk back into the house.
She said everyone in the neighbourhood was thrilled that the day had come.
The family have asked for privacy and for patience as Gina tries to get used to a life that was taken away from her nearly a decade ago.

Field Report: Ernest Ranglin and Friends Live at the Barbican, London
Guitarist Ernest Ranglin is one of Jamaica's most revered musicians. Ranglin was there at the very beginning as a session player and musical arranger, when Jamaican sound system entrepreneurs began recording local artists on basic equipment. He graced some of the very first albums ever released by Island Records in the late 1950s, worked with the Skatalites at Studio One, was an in-house arranger for Federal Records, in the team behind Prince Buster's earliest recordings, and was responsible for Millie Small's breakthrough hit, "My Boy Lollipop," all the while enjoying a burgeoning solo career, which led to overseas album releases on RCA Victor in the mid-'60s. His contributions to the Jamaican music scene continued into the roots reggae era of the late 1970s, when he cut important sides at Aquarius Records and broadened the sound at Lee Perry's Black Ark. As he began spending increasing periods abroad, he cut a series of sublime jazz albums, often in conjunction with his longtime friend and collaborator, the pianist Monty Alexander. There were some noteworthy albums in the 1990s too, such as the excellent Below the Bassline for Island, and although the 1997 Baaba Maal collaboration In Search of the Lost Rhythm didn't work so well artistically, at least the album was out of the ordinary. His live shows have seldom disappointed, and even as he grew older, the man displayed unusual energy, his musical skills seemingly undiminished, and he'd often do wild tricks on stage like playing his guitar upside down behind his back. Ernest Ranglin's June 27 gig at the Barbican was part of what is billed as his "Farewell Tour." Since he's already 84 years old, it's fair enough if Ernie wants to hang up his skates. Yet, since the backing band boasted Afrobeat pioneer Tony Allen on drums, perceptive bassist Ira Coleman, inspiring saxophonist Soweto Kinch (replacing the announced Courtney Pine), and Senegalese singer Cheikh Lô among the lineup, along with Latin jazz pianist Alex Wilson (a longstanding collaborator with Ranglin), expectations were running high--especially since London was still reeling from the disastrous "Brexit" vote that has plunged the nation into utter chaos. As I reached the warren of brutalist concrete blocks in which the Barbican's concert hall is situated, I could not help but think of those wretched MPs who have crash pads in the vicinity. The gig fell on a Monday night, and the area felt totally dead, yet the Barbican concert hall was packed, a fitting turnout for this musical legend. Opening act Nerija is a septet of young female jazz musicians that evolved from the Tomorrow's Warriors Female Collective, one of the many creative initiatives established by Ernest's nephew, Gary Crosby, to stimulate young British musicianship. Playing an invigorating set of their own compositions, Nerija had the house totally riveted, displaying all manner of talent and with each member evidencing their individual personalities through their chosen instruments. The dual-sax melodies of Nubya Garcia (tenor) and Cassie Kinoshi (alto) fused well with Sheila Maurice-Grey's trumpet blasts, and trombonist Rosie Turton was a fine soloist. Guitarist Shirley Tetteh had a pleasing understated style, and in a nice reversal of the usual state of affairs, the only white members of the group were the rhythm section, with drummer Lizy Exel keeping complex timing throughout and double-bassist Inga Eichler yielding strong sweeps of melody. Songs like Eichler's "For You" started with a cacophony of brass noise but soon morphed into a slow crescendo of melody; others went from Euro-jazz to rhythms informed by the jit and jive of southern Africa. They seemed confident and perfectly at ease on stage and had good musical communication among them, despite being in the midst of one of the nation's premier concert halls, and the excellent acoustics of the Barbican allowed us to savor their obvious talent. The brief set really raised our spirits and it is easy to understand why Nerija has been nominated for Jazz FM's Breakthrough Act of the Year. I expect great things are in store for Nerija in future, so if they come to your area, don't miss them. After a long interval, the main attraction slowly made its way onto the stage, and Cheikh Lô's momentary stumble when he somehow collided with Soweto Kinch seemed like a metaphor for what was to follow. Once everyone had taken their places, with Ernest Ranglin in a sharp grey suit and Lô in a yellow robe, seated at a pair of timbales, the opening number "Moondance," from the 2001 Telarc album Gotcha, had Ranglin playing in tandem with Soweto Kinch, but things felt wobbly at first, with the two not totally in time with each other. Once Ernest signaled him to solo, Kinch sounded more in his element, and there was a great flourish of Latin jazz keyboards from Alex Wilson; later, Cheikh Lô had a bit of a flurry on the timbales, as Tony Allen slowed to a stop. "Swaziland," from Modern Answers to Old Problems, started with sax, bass and guitar playing in unison, with some good soloing from Ernest on his lovely sunburst hollow-body, but Soweto Kinch still seemed a little out of sorts. Then there was a somewhat sentimental-sounding instrumental, with some good soloing by Ernest, and a slow-motion section where Ernest and Ira Coleman locked into a tepid groove, but the ending was another wobble, suggesting a lack a proper rehearsal time. Once Ernest counted-in the beloved title track from Below the Bassline, there was widespread applause as Ernest and Ira belted out the melodic anchoring in unison. With Kinch momentarily absent, Ernest started doing some rhythmic knocking on the fretboard with both hands, following by scintillating scales. Then Kinch slowly crept back in on saxophone, and the sound felt stronger and more solid. Yet, a stagehand had to sneak across to turn Ernest's amplifier up a notch, since his guitar was somehow a bit lower than it should have been. After Ernest saluted a planeload of Canadians that had apparently flown across for the show, there was a change on stage as Cheikh Lô picked up an acoustic guitar to lead "Balbalou," the title track of his latest album, which had some good call-and-response interplay with Wilson on the piano, yet Lô's vocals sounded muddy in the mix and Ernest's attempts to jam in the breaks had the effect of throwing things out of time; Lô tried to speed things up, and after things fell back into place, Soweto Kinch drifted back for a few notes after the second verse. "Memories of Senegal" was then delivered in jazz tempo, with staccato piano breaks and a nice sax solo from Kinch. Thus far, Tony Allen had been largely subdued in the proceedings (his surprisingly understated beats contrasting with rim-shots and edge-taps from Lô on the timbales), and when he finally launched into a propulsive drum solo, it still felt like he was largely holding back, as Ernest starting a rhythmic rubbing of his guitar neck. Crowd-pleaser "Surfin'" then began with a languorous introduction and soon yielded strong solos from Kinch and Ernest, plus a playful piano part from Wilson. But then, as Ernest drifted into an extended solo with some fancy footwork to accompany it, Soweto Kinch made his exit from the rear of the stage, and that was the last anyone ever saw of him. Was he disappointed with the lack of musical communication on stage? Did he need to leave the premises to go to present his weekly jazz show on Radio 3? Or did he just want to go to watch the football match? We never got the answer, and even Cheikh Lô was baffled by Kinch's absence, as he clambered onto the drum kit in place of Allen to start the song "Bamba," delivered here with funky organ licks and a rhythmic reggae skank. Yet, it was another wobbly number until Ira Coleman was able to anchor things with the bass, and Ranglin's guitar solo added texture. The next number had a South African feel, with Cheikh Lô dropping in some vocals in French, and Ernest moving things the Congolese way for a time, but we could not hear what he was doing properly; later, Ernest did a fancy solo at the top of the neck, but the drum solo towards the end was pure chaos. Things had gotten so confused by this point that when Ernest started launching into "Below the Bassline" a second time, the band members were as confused as the audience. Was he unhappy with the earlier rendition of the tune, or had he forgotten that they'd already played it? Or was it just a way of filling time between numbers? In any case, "Ball of Fire" was another crowd-pleaser, marking the end of the set. And the crowd, of course, did not want to let him go yet, even though the set was approaching the 90-minute mark, so the band (still minus Kinch) soon came back for a rendition of "Nana's Chalk Pipe"—the only number to get a few brave souls dancing in their seats—but Tony Allen was clearly struggling with the time signature, making it feel like an anticlimax. An Ernest Ranglin concert is always something to savor, and this one certainly had its moments along the way. It can definitely be described as "memorable," though not necessarily for the right reasons. At the end of the night, I couldn't help thinking that a "farewell" tour might have been better executed with a band Ernest had chosen himself, rather than one with guest players suggested by outside sources. But in any case, it was good to see that Ernest is still an able player, in good spirits, and with the agility of a far more youthful man.
