Here's a selection of noteworthy environmental links folks have recently Dugg:
• CleanTechnica: "Motorola Renew is World's First Carbon Neutral Mobile Phone"
— With a shell made entirely of recycled water bottles, Motorola's new W233 Renew hopes to burrow out a new niche market for "green" cell phones. It's been getting some positive press coverage, including this review by CleanTechnica's Andrew Williams, both for using recycled materials and purchasing carbon offsets to make the phone "carbon neutral." For a differing perspective, see Grist's review of the phone, "Dial L for lame."
• Flickr [photo]: "Electric Sunset New Mexico"
— A New Mexican photographer whose profile says he's "prone to lightning photos, sunset and sunrise photos" combines two of the three in this awe-inspiring shot.
• The New York Times: "The World, Grain by Grain"
— Diggers are going with the grain today, highlighting this interactive map that accompanies the Science Times' recent article on a sand-collecting Oregon State coastal oceanographer. View photos of his choicest granules, and click the thumbnails to learn more about each sand's makeup and origins.
• Boing Boing [video]: "Jay Leno's wind turbine"
— Ed Begley Jr. sent Boing Boing this video from Jay Leno's Garage, the comedian's auto-related website, featuring a mag-lev wind turbine called MagWind. Since it uses magnetic levitation, the lack of friction lets wind turn the blades even more easily.
— Auto blog Gas 2.0 highlights an Instructables guide on how to build a working "Mr. Fusion" — that trash-powered reactor on the back of Doc's DeLorean in Back to the Future. It may not be fuel-efficient enough yet to drive to the future on one tank, but the fact that it works means we're already on our way there.

Today Anasma and I got up at 5 AM in the morning! We were supposed to go surfing with one of Willow's friends at six but he couldn't make it and so we walked there by ourselves and hit the waves at 7 AM. And yes, there was already a crowd in the ocean!
The waves were great and we surfed for 2 hours. Anasma had never surfed before, I gave her a quick introduction and she did quite well for her first day.
Then we got some food, sat on the beach and just relaxed for a while.
After that I showed her all my favourite shops :-)
And also one I had never been to with Hawaiian print fabrics. We must have spent an hour there...
Now I will have to go and get ready for my workshop tonight. And I am already looking forward to surfing again tomorrow!

What's Hot Today
Amazing Race: Unfinished Business got down, dirty and cold in Japan this week — so cold that Season 14 alums Mel and Mike White opted for medical attention during the frog-searching mud pit Detour, which ultimately booked them a trip home. "It was such a tough race. They wanted to make it tough because we had all experienced it already," Mel tells TVGuide.com. "It was too tough for me." Still, the 70-year-old writer says he and Mike — who is working on the upcoming HBO series Enlightened — have no regrets about throwing in the towel. Read more... //www.tvguide.com/News/Amazing-Race-Mel-Mike-1030423.aspx?rss=breakingnews
The 18th season premiere of " The Amazing Race " did not end with an elimination for all the eleven teams were told to continue the race after reaching the pit stop. At the end of the February 20 episode, host Phil Keoghan handed out the teams some codes to solve as they arrived one by one. The Cowboys were the last. In the preview for next week's episode, it looks like Jet & Cord are in big trouble. Not only they are last in position but they "have no idea" what to do with the codes. Also, tension erupts between Ron and his daughter Christina who is "nagging" him, a reminder of how they always had the same problem back in season 12.

It's time to hit the road again on The Amazing Race — with plenty of familiar faces. The CBS reality hit returns Sunday with 11 veteran teams who had never won before to settle, as the season's subtitle says, some Unfinished Business . "These are teams that have been so incredibly popular that it was an opportunity to bring back some favorite teams that have favorite stories," host Phil Keoghan tells TVGuide.com. "They're teams that have really been walking around with the 'woulda, coulda, shoulda' ever since they got kicked off. It's like, enough moaning; come back and give it another shot and no more excuses." Read More... //www.tvguide.com/News/Amazing-Race-Keoghan-1029631.aspx?rss=breakingnews
CBS has just released the first photos of The Amazing Race Season 18 titled " The Amazing Race: Unfinished Business " which will premiere Sun, Feb. 20 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network The Amazing Race Season 18 Summary – Eleven former Teams who fell short of winning the $1 million prize during their first Race around the globe will return for another shot on THE AMAZING RACE: UNFINISHED BUSINESS, premiering Sunday, Feb. 20 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT). Phil Keoghan is the host. This season, the multi Emmy Award-winning series will be broadcast in HD for the first time as the Racers travel 40,000 miles through five continents and 23 cities. Teams begin their journey around the globe from the second-windiest place on the planet, and travel to such picturesque locations as Sydney, Australia, where they find themselves swimming with sharks; Liechtenstein, where they must measure the length of the entire country while riding a motorized bicycle; and Tokyo, Japan, where they must endure the freezing waters from Mount Fuji as part of a spiritual ritual.

How do I stop a page header from printing on the last page with the report totals. I pulled up the property sheet but don't see anywhere to do that. Help please. Thanks

The easy answer, assuming the report is going to be the same length when it is printed, is to change the page setup for the report. Change the margins for the report. Another thing you could do, if you are grouping the report is to keep a group together. That way the group and the totals for the group would print on one page. Other than that you would have to do some programming to hide the page header in that certain situation, which is not real easy.

If any of you know the owners of the 3 dogs perhaps you could nudge them to have a look, I think catspyjamas may be one of them but I'm not sure of the others. There are 2 pages to look at so make sure you don't miss any. I hope it's within the rules creating a link as I'm sure one or two might like to look at them. http://www.flickr.com/photos/youreviewuk/sets/72157633142336858/ By the way the family is my daughters, we met her in Chester to catch up!

On Wednesday I took my husband to the ER in excruciating pain. We got there around 1:30 and for the next 4 hours he was in the worst pain of his life and nothing the doctors or nurses did could help. The CT scan didn't show anything wrong. Finally at around 6pm the surgeon came and said "We don't know what's going on but his pain level is so high we know it's something. He needs exploratory surgery." They explained they would do a Laparoscopy and if that didn't show anything they would open him up and keep searching. She told me they didn't know what they would find or how long it would be.
I was alone, scared and crying in the waiting room when a woman said, "You're not sitting by yourself over there...you come sit with us." Carol and her brother sat and talked with me until the doctors came and told me the surgery went fine and he would be ok.
He had an adhesion on his small intestine that was wrapping itself around his bowel. If we had waiting until the morning to do the surgery, the bowel would have died.
I have never been so scared before. My husband's parents were on their way from North Carolina but in the meantime I would have sat there alone if had not been for Carol- my Christmas angel.
As a small thank you I met up with Carol today and brought her some of my crockpot candy.
1 16oz jar of unsalted dry roasted peanuts
1 16oz jar of salted dry roasted peanuts
1 12 oz bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 12 oz bag of Reese's peanut butter chips
1lb package of white chocolate candy bark.
Layer the ingredients in the crock pot starting with the nuts and finishing with the white chocolate. Cook on low for an hour and then stir. Let cook for about another hour before scooping onto either parchment paper or into muffin liners.
I wanted something cute to put the treats in so I upcycled a container of nuts.
I didn't know I would be alone and scared when a stranger would step in and comfort me...but I'm so grateful she did.
My husband is home now. He's in some pain from his incision sites but no where near what he went through Tuesday! We are both just so grateful that the doctors knew to go in to look even if they didn't know what to look for. I believe God lead them there just like he led Carol to me that night.

Warning About TV
I own a TV but know I have to be cautious about what is on there and the commercials especially!
Already yesterday the greed fest was on for Saturnalia.
3 comments:
You are right about the television. Years ago when our kids were small, we decided to move the TV out of our living room and never moved it back. Our intention was to have the room, where others entered our home, as a place to sit and talk without distractions. Works so well that we left it that way. The TV programming is getting darker each year, not to mention the so called news and all the drug commercials. - Don

The tv ads, especially in our present day, is among the worst of it.
They just flood the ads with all of this fast-food junk food filled with Aspertame, MSG, fluoride, processed foods, etc like McDonald's and Wendy's(ie-both of their founders were occultists).

That's what the prince of this world says himself (in coded imagery language) at the beginning of the video clip "Madonna Feat. Justin Timberlake & Timbaland - 4 Minutes to save world" ( understand : 4 Minutes to pervert your world). We see Madonna pushing a black hearse through a big black screen , which turns out to be the TV screen of an average family having dinner with no conservations. The video is sick with people having flesh eaten. Sick but telling. Death entering households.

The Eyes Of The Instruments: Using Optical Filters To Observe And Measure Earth From A Different Perspective
Earth Observation (EO) remote sensing provides the ability to measure, understand, and hopefully manage for purposes of commerce, safety and security, and science, our environment and our impact/interaction with it. In EO instruments, single wavelength band measurements are often necessary to allow observation of unique spectral characteristics representative of specific atmospheric and environmental phenomena. Optical filters with their ability to provide highly selective single band and multi-spectral wavelength discrimination in robust and reliable formats are a key contributor in photonics based EO instruments, serving as "the eyes of the instruments".
Introducing a Novel Spectral Analysis System for Measuring High-Performance Thin-Film Optical Filters
Alluxa offers and manufactures high-performance optical thin films that are used in wide ranging applications including life sciences, research, semiconductor and LIDAR. All of Alluxa's thin-film optical filters and mirrors are hard-coated using a proprietary plasma deposition process on equipment that was designed and built by our team. This allows us to repeatably produce the same high-performance optical thin films in all of our coating chambers.
Selecting the Right Standard High-Voltage Power Supply
High-voltage power supplies drive a broad range of applications across diverse segments, including semiconductor, scientific, medical, industrial, and more. Designed to deliver stable supply voltages at 50 V and up, the power supplies, comprised of sophisticated components and specialized materials, must carefully manage the high voltages and associated effects, for example, corona and arcing. For systems developers choosing standard high-voltage power supplies, the specialized nature of high-voltage power calls for a power supply selection process that reflects the unique characteristics of the high- voltage power supply and its operation.
DESIGNING A VISION SYSTEM: A Comprehensive Guide to the Technical Requirements for Building a Vision System for Your Unique Imaging Application
There are a number of factors that need to be considered when designing a vision system, including: the hardware platform, the operating system, the software and API, and the very things that make the vision system "see" – the camera and its lens. Although each aspect plays an important role in achieving desired results, the camera and lens are the essence of the vision system. As such, it is recommended that both the camera and the lens be selected as a pair based on overall system requirements. Here we discuss various elements of vision systems with a focus on the camera and lens.

Companies developing cutting-edge lasers, optics, and imaging products face significant hurdles getting products to market ahead of competitors. Learn about a new way for optical and mechanical engineers to collaborate that's changing the way leading companies develop optical products. Learn:
Fiber Optic Rotary Joints Add a Spin to Sensing, Mobile, and Robotic Fiber Systems
To the passing optical signals, fiberoptic rotary joints (FORJs) are nothing more than fiber connectors, which provide connection between one or multiple fibers. Their unrestricted ability to rotate, however, gives them a critical role in many sensing, mobile, and robotic fiber systems such as ROVs (remotely operated vehicles), aerostat radars, submarines, satellite antennae, OCT (optical coherence tomography), mining vehicles, cranes, wind turbines, robotic vehicles, broadcasting (mobile cameras), etc. This article discusses some of the applications where optical rotary joints are indispensable.

Fabrication of Freeform Optics
Freeform surfaces on optical components have become an important design tool for optical designers. Non-rotationally symmetric optical surfaces have made solving complex optical problems easier. The manufacturing and testing of these surfaces has been the technical hurdle in freeform optic's wide-spread use. Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) optics manufacturing technology has made the fabrication of optical components more deterministic and streamlined for traditional optics and aspheres. Optimax has developed a robust freeform optical fabrication CNC process that includes generation, high speed VIBE polishing, sub-aperture figure correction, surface smoothing and testing of freeform surfaces. Metrology of freeform surface is currently achieved with coordinate measurement machines (CMM) for lower resolution and interferometry with computer generated holograms (CGH) for high resolution irregularity measurements.
Optical Fiber Sensors vs. Conventional Electrical Strain Gauges for Infrastructure Monitoring Applications
Public infrastructure, including bridges, pipelines, tunnels, foundations, roadways, dams, etc., is subject to factors that can degrade it or lead to malfunctions. These structural problems can be the result of deterioration, improper construction methods, seismic activity, nearby construction work, etc. Although electrical strain gauges have long been used for monitoring structural changes, they sometimes lack the durability and integrity necessary to provide accurate, actionable information over extended periods. The applications in this white paper demonstrate how optical fiber sensors can offer a variety of economic and performance advantages.
Polymeric Systems Bring Clarity to Optical Applications
Whereas some optical assembly applications require optical clarity across a certain wavelenth, others require an opaque coating. Optical grade epoxies, silicones and UV curable coatings provide the versatility to adhere well to a wide variety of substrates and the critical performance properties necessary. Learn more about optical transmission, refractive indices, temperature and humidity testing, and more, and the roles these measurements in choosing an effective and reliable optical polymer system.
Integrating Novel Materials to Improve Medical Device Performance
Today's implantables are highly engineered assemblies with multiple complex elements that require innovative materials and sophisticated manufacturing. The development and use of new and novel materials and processes has enabled advances in both medical device performance and patient safety. Whether it's a lighter material, a smoother surface, or a process that can be automated and repeatable, advanced technologies such as scratch-free surfaces or specialized coatings for stimulation can help extend or improve the life of implantable devices.

France's energy giant Total says it plans to make a final investment decision on a $2 billion gas project in Iran within the next few months provided that nothing is modified with regards to the sanctions against investing in the country's oil sector projects.
Total Chief Executive Patrick Pouyanne told reporters in Paris that the development of Phase 11 of Iran's South Pars gas field – a project that his company won from the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) last year – will be among a couple of projects to be approved by the company to start by the summer.
However, Pouyanne emphasized that a decision to that effect will depend on whether US President Donald Trump waives executive orders against investments in the Iranian energy sector – as did his predecessor Barack Obama.
"There are two executive orders that are supposed to be renewed before summer," he said, explaining that Obama's administration had signed waivers suspending the sanctions.
"These are supposed to last about 18 months. So President Trump will have to, or not, renew these sanction waivers," Pouyanne told journalists in Paris, as reported by Reuters.
Total – together with China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) and Iran's Petropars – signed a Heads of Agreement (HOA) with the NIOC last November to invest in Phase 11 of South Pars.
The value of the project was estimated by the media at the time at $4.8 billion and was to the same effect seen as the biggest contract that the Islamic Republic had awarded for an industrial project after the lifting of the sanctions in early 2016.
Iran had earlier announced that Total had already started certain basic operations for the development of Phase 11 of South Pars. The announcement was made by NIOC chief Ali Kardor.

The development of Phase 11 would be carried out through the new format of Iran's oil sector contracts and would also require the developers to provide all investments.
Total was negotiating over the development of the same project with the NIOC before the US-led sanctions drove it out of Iran's oil sector projects in 2012.
Total's negotiations with NIOC over the development of Phase 11 also included the production of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in what was expected to become Iran's first such project named Pars LNG. The project, however, was abandoned after the sanctions banned investments by foreign companies in Iran's oil industry among a series of other draconian economic restrictions imposed against the country.
A top Total official had emphasized in November that the election of Trump as the President of the United States would not undermine the company's investments in Iran.
"We have always said that we are interested in returning to Iran on condition that the investments that are proposed to us are sufficiently attractive and knowing that for us, it was out of the question to do anything that would contravene international rules," Philippe Sauquet, the firm's head of gas, renewables and power, told reporters told reporters on the sidelines of an energy summit in Paris.
"The election that took place in the United States does not change anything," Reuters quoted him as saying.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Total chief Pouyanne was quoted by Reuters as saying that based on the nuclear deal that was signed, the US government would have to prove that Iran had breached the agreement, for the new Trump-led administration to decide against renewing the waivers.
"So, either the waivers are renewed and as such, respect the Iran nuclear deal, which will allow us to execute the contract and we'll do so, or they decide to tear up the Iran nuclear agreement," Pouyanne said.
"In that case, we'll not be able to work in Iran."
He added that there was uncertainty on what the new White House administration would do.
Pouyanne said the decision to go ahead with the gas deal last November was a 'win-win' one, and that Total had some guarantees in place that protects the company financially if the project does not go through.

Playlist (8 talks): The power of collaboration
16:34Now playingIn her talk, Rachel Botsman says we're "wired to share" — and shows how websites like Zipcar and Swaptree are changing the rules of human behavior.
16:39Now playingAfter re-purposing CAPTCHA so each human-typed response helps digitize books, Luis von Ahn wondered how else to use small contributions by many on the Internet for greater good. In this talk, he shares how his ambitious new project, Duolingo, will help millions learn a new language while translating the web quickly and accurately — all for free.
15:46Now playingMassimo Banzi helped invent the Arduino, a tiny, easy-to-use open-source microcontroller that's inspired thousands of people around the world to make the coolest things they can imagine — from toys to satellite gear. Because, as he says, "You don't need anyone's permission to make something great."
9:23Now playingWhen a freak tornado hit their hometown, sisters Caitria and Morgan O'Neill — just 20 and 24 at the time — realized they had to jump in and help. What they learned is: After a natural disaster, there's only a tiny window before the world turns its sympathy (and its donations) elsewhere — so it's important to be prepared for every aspect of recovery. Watch this talk to learn how to step up in a timely fashion for your own community.
17:17Now playingWhat's the secret to unlocking the creativity hidden inside your daily work, and giving every great idea a chance? Harvard professor Linda Hill, co-author of "Collective Genius," has studied some of the world's most creative companies to come up with a set of tools and tactics to keep great ideas flowing — from everyone in the company, not just the designated "creatives."
10:52Now playingWhen artist Salvatore Iaconesi was diagnosed with brain cancer, he refused to be a passive patient — which, he points out, means "one who waits." So he hacked his brain scans, posted them online, and invited a global community to pitch in on a "cure." This sometimes meant medical advice, and it sometimes meant art, music, emotional support — from more than half a million people.
9:37Now playingWhen Ebola broke out in March 2014, Pardis Sabeti and her team got to work sequencing the virus's genome, learning how it mutated and spread. Sabeti immediately released her research online, so virus trackers and scientists from around the world could join in the urgent fight. In this talk, she shows how open cooperation was key to halting the virus ... and to attacking the next one to come along. "We had to work openly, we had to share and we had to work together," Sabeti says. "Let us not let the world be defined by the destruction wrought by one virus, but illuminated by billions of hearts and minds working in unity."
14:14Now playingConservatives and liberals both believe that they alone are motivated by love while their opponents are motivated by hate. How can we solve problems with so much polarization? In this talk, social scientist Arthur Brooks shares ideas for what we can each do as individuals to break the gridlock. "We might just be able to take the ghastly holy war of ideology that we're suffering under and turn it into a competition of ideas," he says.

Sometimes, the more complex the idea, the more simplistic the form of communication is needed to convey it. But neither the prose nor the illustrations in graphic novels are simple. Actually they are quite intricate and complex — and they are not just for kids, by any means.
In October of 2016, thrillist.com published "The 33 Greatest Graphic Novels of All Time." Within their collection are significant, Pulitzer Prize-winning contributions to literary evolution by revered artists and storytellers who have brought the art of communication full-circle to the very origins of literature with extremely sophisticated, modern-day images. Or as some refer to them, hieroglyphics.
This list covers a wide gamut of themes, but for the sake of brevity let's examine only the top 5 graphic novels leading their list of the greatest:
Number 1
"The Diary of a Teenage Girl," written and illustrated by Phoebe Gloeckner, published in 2002 and later adapted into a film in 2015. It adapts Gloeckner's real-life teenage diary, in which she detailed her sexual relationship with her mother's very adult boyfriend and her own downward spiral into addiction and abuse. Gloeckner juxtaposes prose passages from her teenage self's cassette-recorded journal, stand-alone illustrations that portray her experiences as she felt them at the time, actual drawings and comics she created during the years the diary chronicled, and contemporary comics that reflect her adult understanding of the events that befell her.
The resulting work has a power far greater than the sum of any of its parts — a blend of youthful naïveté, jaded cynicism, and grown-up empathy that lets no one off the hook yet refuses to judge or condemn anyone, allowing the reader to make those decisions as a sort of proxy for the girl who wasn't able to do so herself.
Number 2
"Jordan Wellington Lint: The ACME Novelty Library 20" by Chris Ware, published in 2010. What is truly extraordinary about this issue is the main character of the book, Jordan Wellington Lint, isn't your typical sad-sack character, prone to endless navel-gazing and intermittent weeping. He's deeply damaged, of course — you'd expect nothing less — but he's more rounded a character than previous Ware stooges: he's a jock and a bully, then a stoner and a dropout, then a husband and a father, and finally a grandfather and father all over again.
What we witness is nothing less than one person's entire life, from Lint's first abstract glimpses of his mother's face, to his last desperate moments on a hospital gurney. In between those bookends is a story of searing ordinariness, an achingly real account of a life of small triumphs, desperate disappointments, some laughs, some highs (mostly centered around football), some pain, some anger, money made, money lost … all the stuff that each of us go through in our own ways.
Number 3
"Black Hole" by Charles Burns, published between 1995 and 2005 by Pantheon Graphic Novels, is a twelve-issue comic book limited series. Set in the suburbs of Seattle during the mid-1970s, the comics follow a group of mostly middle class teenagers who, over the summer, contract a mysterious sexually transmitted disease known as "the Bug" or "the teen plague," which causes them to develop bizarre unique physical mutations, turning them into social outcasts.
The story generally focuses on four central characters switching back and forth between their lives as they come in contact with and contract the disease. Apart from some introduction into the setting, the story starts off with Chris contracting the disease from Rob, a popular kid in school. Because of a failed attempt to warn her of his condition, Chris is not aware that Rob is infected until they are already having sex. Chris immediately feels she has been deceived and stops speaking to Rob for some time. Around the same time Keith contracts it from Eliza, a woman he meets while trying to buy cannabis at a friend's house. Although it is not made explicitly clear, Keith seems unaware that Eliza's mutation (a tail) is actually a disease that he can contract from her, although he never outwardly discusses the disease with Eliza, even after it has manifested within him.
Burns has said that the mutations can be read as a metaphor for adolescence, sexual awakening and the transition into adulthood. Burns' vision of this creepy subculture buzzes like a black-light poster; no depiction of drugs in the history of comics has ever been more disorienting, and few sex scenes have ever been as genuinely intense.
Number 4
Chris Ware's "Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth," published in 2001, is ranked number 4. This story splits its time between the title character, a prematurely aged 30-something sad sack reuniting with his deadbeat dad for the first time in years, and flashbacks to the youth of his grandfather, neglected and eventually abandoned by his father during the 19th century. Anyone who's ever called Ware cold is completely full of it: The mechanical precision of his artwork and the digital complexity of his panel layouts may make it appear harsh, but this is the most heartfelt look at family the art form has ever produced.
From the covers to the indicia to fake ads and editor's notes, Ware treated the "comic book" not as a mere vessel for the comics inside, but as an art object in and of itself. This grand experiment gave birth to Jimmy Corrigan, which in its collected edition was the most acclaimed graphic novel since Maus some 15 years earlier.
Number 5
"Maus" by Art Spiegelman is the definitive granddaddy of graphic novels — without this book, you wouldn't be reading this list. Serialized from 1980 to 1991, "Maus" is a family memoir of life within the Holocaust from his parent's point of view, told within the unique perspective of cats and mice. This distracted the first reviewers by tying the subject matter to cartooning's long history of anthropomorphizing animals — from Mickey Mouse and Felix the Cat on down. But in the end that's just a fig leaf that enables Spiegelman to go further and hit harder than a more straightforward depiction of events could dare to pull off — similar to moving the camera away from the slaughter but still broadcasting the screams of both the living and the dying.
Up until the publication of "Maus," public perception of comic books was as adolescent power fantasies, inherently incapable of mature artistic or literary expression. Most discussion focused on comics as a genre rather than a medium. Maus proved difficult to classify to a genre, and has been called biography, fiction, autobiography, history, and memoir. Spiegelman petitioned The New York Times to move it from "fiction" to "non-fiction" on the newspaper's bestseller list, saying, "I shudder to think how David Duke … would respond to seeing a carefully researched work based closely on my father's memories of life in Hitler's Europe and in the death camps classified as fiction." The Times eventually acquiesced.
The Pulitzer committee sidestepped the issue by giving the completed "Maus" a Special Award in Letters in 1992. After its Pulitzer Prize win, it won greater acceptance and interest among academics. The Museum of Modern Art staged an exhibition on the making of "Maus" in 1991–92.
Since the beginning of time, man has struggled to share his life experiences with others — lessons learned of where dangers lie, where sustenance can be found, whom to trust, whom to fear and what is worthy of exaltation. Communication in any form is a necessary requirement for mankind — and whatever form relates the story best is fully legitimate. If a complete idea can be transferred from one person's mind to another's through words, illustrations, actions, or recordings — isn't that the goal?
No, graphic novels are not mere comic books for adults. And conversely, comic books are not mere graphic novels for children. But rather, both are legitimate forms of instruction and communication appropriate for any receptive audience.

The 20 coolest college football logos - Rocky Top Talk
its ok though. calm down. he means well.
Boy, he sure did his research before writing about Iowa State didn't he.......
He obviously didn't do much research for that: a) he's using a old logo, b) he admits he has no idea why there is a cardinal in it. I know it is confusing, but our mascot is the cardinal and we are called the cyclones.:cry:
It would have been better if he knew we had new logos, but eh, what's the old saying, "Any press.." It's in fun, I can laugh at myself.
Looks like somebody had fun ridiculing the new logo in the comments at the bottom. Looks like a Hawk fan based on the other blog he's commented on.
Watch out, he's got a towel!
I have no idea what that logo is, but it's hilarious.
That blurb about ISU is actually pretty funny.
But, of course, no mention about why the Alabama Crimson Tide has an elephant in the logo.
That's a silly enough piece that I know not to take it seriously. Not exactly investigative journalism, but he certainly had a fun time analyzing logos. Thanks for the link.
What fiasco?
I think darkening the logo with the new shade and removing the ISU in front of it made the logo even cooler.
Why is the Stanford Cardinal (tree) not on that list. It real doesn't bother me that ISU is on the list. At one point I didn't know why we had Cy, so I don't expect this person to know why.
Lawyers in Alabama served Fulmer with a subpoena at SEC Media Days.
Read all about it:
ESPN - Fulmer served with subpoena at SEC media day - College Football
He definitely favors the NBA / minor league baseball caliber logos over "traditional college" tyoe logos. Since I can't stand the type he likes it means nothing to me.
Great. Another blog from a whiney, sarcastic little hack that can finally make his mommy proud now that he has something 'published' on the internets. He's so darn whimsical and clever. Now he should just go away.
Nice work, Joel. Take your congratulatory kiss on the cheek from Aunt Bonnie and be proud.
what is up with america's obsession of Top (insert number here) lists? everytime you fire up msn hotmail... "top 10 things not to do on a first date" fox sports "top 20 ugliest cheerleaders in the AHL" SI.com "Top 10 NAIA assistant athletic directors" ESPN "top 10 best dressed quaterbacks of the AFC" etc.. etc... ok, I'm exaggerating a bit, but it's on the level of bad reality tv and commericals on AM talk radio...
Do you know what it's like to be way, way too dry? Well I'll tell you something, you don't want to know... and I DON'T know.
Top 5 reasons America is obsessed with lists:
Fill 'em in, boys.
Did anyone growing up (and even now) think it was odd that the Hawkeye's logo was not just an ornithographic eyeball?
Ok, maybe it was just me.
I left a nasty comment. Partly because I hate Tennessee.
Whats with the Cardinal? Guess what we used to be called before it was the Cyclones?
Why do we still use a Cardinal for a mascot? You stuff a Cyclone....

Robin Hood Anti-French
Seems the latest Ridley Scott movie with Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett is rife with anachronistic anti-French prejudice. Sorry, but we at Miquelon.org can't even be bothered reviewing this cinematic turd.
Seems the latest Ridley Scott movie with Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett is rife with anachronistic anti-French prejudice. Sorry, but we at Miquelon.org can't even be bothered reviewing this cinematic turd.
Maybe this explains Ridley Scott's anti-French attitudes : Ridley Scott loses French legal battle to stop 'bad odours' – Sir Ridley Scott has lost a court battle to stop farmers next to his Provence home rearing poultry which he claims causes pollution including "bad odours".
But the idyllic, picture-postcard French way of life offered by the south-eastern region began to go awry five years ago when a couple bought a neighbouring plot in Oppède, near Cavaillon, and set up an organic poultry farm.
"Perhaps the only evident political misfire is that it's aggressively anti-French at a time when the Greeks are the European bugaboo of choice." – Ezra Klein
Too bad about Ridley Scott, I generally like most of his film, and Blade Runner is one of my all time favorites. It would seems he allowed himself to be personally offended by chicken farmers, of all people. Seems a lot of wealthy Anglos believe Provence to be their own personal playground.
As for "Robin Hood", it received mediocre reviews at Cannes, no one seemed to have been impressed with it. It will undoubtedly garner a better audience in the US, where continued French-bashing is norm. The film will no doubt attract those who will see it mainly to fulfill their anti-French consumption, i.e. – Conservative Republicans.
Problem centers on all of the young inocents who will watch this movie and establish misconceptions. As for the main audiance, there is no doubt that, in the US, such films attract the political Right.
Certes le film à un relent très net de francophobie… Mais cette francophobie plus ou moins assumée est largement critiquée, voire tournée en ridicule par les critiques ! Et ça c'est quand même un progrès : imaginez la même situation, disons cinq ans plus tôt, je n'ose y penser ! Il ne reste plus qu'à espérer, sans trop d'illusions bien sûr, que ça fasse un bide.
J'ai lu une lettre d'un historien dans "le Monde" qui dénonçait de nombreuses absurdités historiques. Il y est question d'une invasion de l'Angleterre par les Français alors que bien sûr c'était l'inverse pendant la guerre de 100 ans, et Richard Coeur de Lion dont le français était la langue maternelle ne parlait pas anglais et a passé la majeure partie de sa vie en France.
The situation will endure as long as French officials remain mute.
Where is the minister of Culture in all this ?
Too busy diddling Thai boys ?
Wow Barney – that's cutting close to the bone. It's not the Ministry of Culture who should be involved but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. During the 2003 anti-French psychosis, the official policy was something akin to "faire le dos rond" – hoping all this would blow over. Seven years later, pop culture has absorbed anti-French attitudes and ideas likes never before.
Get a grip you whingers! Why get so bothered about a holywood film? There always has to be the vilains in these films. At the moment (and since the second gulf war) it's the French's turn to play the bad guys. Before that it was the British who were always the bad guys (see Braveheart) as an example, and before that the Germans.
These films should not be taken seriously.
Barney – Why should the French culture minister or officials comment on a holywood film? Why give any attention to it? Whether you like it or not there will always be anti-French, American, British, German, etc. attitudes, that's just part of being from a country with a colonial history.
Robin Hood and colonial history. Right…
Shouldn't the villains be Normans instead of French ?
According to the bigm, a French English history scholar if there ever was one, the French are a cowardly and idiotic bunch incapable of matching wits or swords with the English Supermen so what were all those French people doing in England messing with Robin Hood ?

Horn of Africa Crisis
About the Crisis
The Horn of Africa is facing increasingly severe drought conditions that are quickly exceeding many people's ability to cope. Relief agencies estimate that up to 15 million people in Somalia, Ethiopia, and Kenya are facing food and water shortages as a result of the ongoing drought, which was triggered by successive poor rainy seasons in the region.
The effects of the drought are most severe in Somalia, where humanitarian conditions are rapidly deteriorating as multiple consecutive poor rainy seasons and ongoing conflict are overwhelming local response capacities. An estimated 6.2 million people in Somalia—more than half the population—face acute food insecurity, and 3.2 million people are in need of urgent humanitarian assistance as a result of water shortages, crop failures, livestock deaths, and rising food prices.
In response, international humanitarian actors are quickly scaling up emergency relief efforts in the affected countries, providing food, nutrition, and water, sanitation, and hygiene assistance, while working to realign existing development programs to meet urgent needs on the ground.
Details About the Ongoing Response Efforts
How You Can Help
When disasters occur anywhere in the world, Americans generously offer assistance to those in need. Decades of experience in disaster relief and recovery have shown that the best way to help people affected by disaster is to make cash donations to reputable relief and charitable organizations on the ground. These groups work closely with affected communities, know what people need and how to strengthen recovery efforts.
Cash donations are the most efficient form of assistance. Unlike material donations, cash involves no transportation costs, shipping delays, or customs fees. It also enables relief organizations to spend more time providing aid by spending less time managing goods. Cash donations also allow relief supplies to be purchased in markets close to the disaster site, which stimulates the local economy by providing employment and generating cash flow.
Organizations listed on the resources below are experienced and are participating directly in relief efforts. If you would like to know more about organizations you are considering for support, you can find detailed financial and programmatic information at: GiveWell, Charity Navigator, Charity Watch, and the Better Business Bureau.
About USAID CIDI
USAID created the Center for International Disaster Information (CIDI) in 1988 one month after Hurricane Gilbert made landfall as a Category 5 storm that affected 10 countries. An outpouring of unsolicited donations took up space needed to stage and deliver life-saving relief supplies, and USAID and other responders spent valuable time managing unneeded clothing, expired medicine, and other non-critical items. USAID established the Center to educate the public about the advantages of giving monetary donations to relief organizations and the downside of donating unsolicited material goods www.cidi.org. USAID's Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (USAID/OFDA) leads and coordinates the U.S. government's humanitarian assistance efforts overseas, responding to an average of 65 disasters in more than 50 countries every year.

By Reason of Insanity
Chapter 1
Quinn rose to face the jury one last time, the pressure of the case constricting his chest. He had to remind himself that he had done this more than fifty times before, with stellar results. "A legal magic act," was how one of the newspapers described it. Juries love me.
But he couldn't shake Dr. Rosemarie Napolitano's words from the prior night, after his spunky expert witness had listened to a dry run of Quinn's closing. "The whole world hates the insanity plea," she said. "Ninety-five percent of these cases result in convictions." She forced a smile. "Including, believe it or not, even a few where I testified."
"Do you have any advice?" Quinn asked. "Or just doomsday statistics?"
"Take the jury where the pain is," Rosemarie said softly. "Throw away your notes." She must have sensed Quinn's reluctance, noticed his unwillingness to even look at her as he considered this. Notes he could do without, but he had no desire to put Annie through this nightmare again. "It's our only chance," Rosemarie said.
Those words echoed in Quinn's ears as he approached the jury empty-handed, took a deep breath and closed his eyes to gather his thoughts. He opened them again and looked at the jury --- his jury. He heard the judge say his name --- his honor's voice coming from the end of a long tunnel. Another moment passed and the stillness of the courtroom became the stillness of that dank house on Bridge Street, twenty-two years ago.
He started pacing even before he uttered his first word. Rosemarie was right --- a good lawyer would start by describing this scene. But a great lawyer --- a great lawyer would take them there…
By the time Annie turns thirteen, her father has been visiting her bed for nearly a year. Holidays are always the worst because they give Annie's father an excuse to drink. Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Eve, Memorial Day --- they all end the same. Like this night undoubtedly would: July 4, 1986. Independence Day.
Annie goes to bed early, a holiday custom of her own, hoping she won't see her father come home. She leaves the light on in her room and prays for a miracle. A car accident. A heart attack. A mugger who goes too far.
She prays that tonight her father might die.
The answer to that prayer, the same answer she has received so many times before, arrives a few minutes after midnight, the sound of car tires on the gravel drive. The small house has thin walls and she hears the car engine stop, followed by the solid thud of the driver's door. Her father enters through the laundry room, his heavy footsteps taking him into the kitchen.
Petrified, Annie lies in bed and stares at the ceiling, the covers pulled tight to her chin. She hears the television. The sound of dishes. Murmured curses.
There is silence for an hour, her father probably sleeping in the recliner, but Annie does not sleep. Eventually, he stirs and wakes. He trudges up the stairs, his footsteps and labored breathing magnified by the stillness of the house. She smells him. Though she knows it is impossible because the door to her room is closed, and her father is only half-way up the steps, she smells him. Stale beer on her father's breath. The putrid odor of a grown man's sweat. The stench of cigarettes and the faint wisp of after-shave.
Sometimes he will come directly to Annie's room. If he does, Annie will not cry out for her mother. When Annie has cried out in the past, her father would violate her mom first. When he returned to Annie, it would be worse.
Tonight, he walks past Annie's door and into his own bedroom. Sometimes he will stay there. But sometimes, like tonight, there is muffled shouting. Her mother begs. Annie hears the sound of fist on bone. Annie wants to run to her mother's aid but she has tried that before too. It only angers her father more. Once, he threw Annie to the floor and made her watch as he beat her mother. He called it an obedience lesson. Another time, when Annie called the authorities, her mom defended her father. The bruises were an accident, her mom said. "I fell down the steps."
Tonight, there is angry yelling until it abruptly stops. Her mother will be unconscious, oblivious to further pain. The silence hangs like a guillotine.
Moments later, Annie hears the door to her parent's room creak open. Stumbling footsteps grow closer in the hallway. She hopes that tonight her ten-year-old brother will not try to be the hero. She thinks about the beating he endured the last time he tried to interfere. After subduing the boy, her father made him drop his shorts as the old man took off his belt. He promised to whip Annie's brother until he cried. Her brother, stubborn as the old man, refused to cry.
Annie hears the doorknob turn and she closes her eyes. The smell is real now. She senses her father at the threshold, lingering there for a perverse moment, breathing heavily. He turns off the light. Even with her eyes closed, Annie can feel the darkness deepen and the terror overwhelms her.

We had a birthday in our house last week. Our DS turned 9 years old. He is so proud of the fact that he is 9.
When I asked him what type of cake he would like me to make for him, he wasn't sure. We had to go to the store and sift through their cake decorations where he found Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader. Being the Star Wars and Star Tours fan that he is, this is what he HAD to have.
By the way, it is so much nicer to bake at the lower altitude. When we lived at 7,000 feet, the cakes turned out so dry. Our cake last week, was SO moist!

Discussion in 'Android Devices' started by BetterMost, Jul 17, 2010.
Has anyone tested this yet?
What u think?
Doesn't seem to use a bunch of power when just searching. WAY less than if my 3G was searching.
As for using, certainly no more than the 3G radio would use.
I live in Raleigh, a sometimes I can get 4G city. I leave 4G on all the time now. Was turning it on and off until I figured it wasn't making any real difference in my battery. So it is just always on now.
This is me, this is EVO, YMMV LOL
In my experience yes. When I turn on 4G I notice a higher consumption. I usually just turn it off, since 3G is enough speed for me.
Yes it uses more power. And I believe it actually uses more power than 3G. Thing is, the 3G/2G modem stays on anyway because it is required for making calls.
You can turn off mobile data entirely without removing your ability to make calls.
Long press the power button and hit "Mobile network" to toggle it on/off.
When my 4g is searching (randomly gets enabled... idk why), it kills my battery about twice as fast as just using my phone without it searching. I imagine it's not too terribly bad if it actually connected though.
My problem is when it connects it disconnects in less than 5 seconds. I get a great signal but it won't just stay on. Somebody said you can do a #somethingsomething and have that changed, but I can't remember what it was.
Which won't have any effect, as data is going over 4G, and the 3G data is the same as voice modem chip.
Yes, no, and maybe.
Yes your phone will consume more power when wimax and 3g/cdma radio on, then having one of them turned off.
No, wimax by itself does not consume more power then cdma/3g radio.
Now in saying that, wimax radio can be "on" and use zero power. If it has a good signal, when you are not transferring data, the wimax radio shuts down to 0 zero power use. When data comes from tower to the radio, it comes either has a high power burst waking the radio or uses 3g/cdma to tell the wimax to wake up. When you then return data from phone to tower, wimax just sends a message asking the tower which channel to use.
Your 3g/cdma radio can never go dormate, either is on or off. So if you have a good signal, wimax will not consume power until you use it. There is no standby for wimax.
Which means, yes it will consume more power, if you use it with the normal radio. But when it is not being used, it uses zero power, and when used by itself, consumes less then 3g.
Need to clearify one point, when I speak of zero power, I mean less then .5 milli amps, just know someone is going to say, it uses .25 of a milliamp in standby, quit lying.
For the record, your 3g radio uses 70 milliamps in standby.
