Interestingly, a new twist on an alternative revenue generator has emerged: the democratized digital tip jar. Sites like Wikipedia have employed an online tip jar for years in the form of regular requests for donations from its users via PayPal, credit/debit cards, and other payment methods. But now a major player in the digital donations space-Flattr-is partnering with AdBlock Plus to offer Flattr Plus, a browser extension/app that enables users to remove online ads from sites they visit while also contributing a monthly payment in an amount they choose that will be distributed proportionally to publishers of the sites they surf.

A new collaborative, online publishing tool, Medium, has been announced. The brainchild of Twitter co-founders Evan Williams and Biz Stone, Medium is designed to allow users to collaborate on works being published on the site, according to the company blog. After reading a work, users can indicate if they liked it, give feedback to the writer, and add to it. Once a work is posted, it will be organized into "collections", which are defined by a theme and a template.
While the ability to post on Medium is not yet open to everyone, the company says posting is "elegant and easy" and users can "do so without the burden of becoming a blogger or worrying about developing an audience." The highest rated posts bubble up to the top, though some collections will be closed.
Right now, anyone with a Twitter account can read and give feedback on Medium, though contributions are still limited to a small, invite-only community.
Williams and Stone are also serving as advisors to a new discussion platform called Branch, which aims to create an online forum for general discussions. According to PC Mag, users will be able to pick who they want to talk to and start online discussions.
Branch is currently in public beta testing and invitations are available by request.

Vail Conditions Update March 16 – March 22
A small glimpse of the sun over the morning's tracks down Expresso.
March 18, 2014. Six inches of fresh powder on the 5am report.
Spring break skiing at it's finest today. The snow began to fall yesterday night and continued through to this morning. While the initial report at 5am had six inches, total accumulation for the day will be higher as the flakes continue to fall. If you're at a beginner/intermediate level of skiing, stick to trails that have been groomed and you will enjoy a more manageable powder day. If you are at a more advanced level, spacious trees on the front-side will provide cool, fluffy snow for you to push around.
A quiet morning of powder during spring break.
Temperatures will reach highs in the mid-twenties. There is a slight wind that will pick up through the day. With the day's storm, there will be low visibility and cloud cover, so plan on dressing a little warmer than on previous sunny days.

It will help playing at home against a Georgia Tech team that is breaking in a new point guard, Tennessee transfer Trae Golden. 75 70 11 p.m., Pac-12 Network Oakland (0-2) at California (2-0) The Golden Grizzlies have been godawful in their first two games, losing on the road to North Carolina and UCLA by a combined 54 points. As for Cal, it looks like 6-foot-5 sophomore guard Tyrone Wallace (18 ppg, 50.0% fg) is primed to fill the void left by Allen Crabbe. 81 64 Saturday, Nov. 16 4 p.m. Colgate (0-1) at No. 9 Syracuse (2-0) I know it's early, but C.J. Fair has made nearly 54 percent from the floor while sinking 13-of-14 from the foul line in his first two games. He's headed for a huge year. Colgate lost by 11 points at Wake Forest in its opener, so it's hard to imagine the Raiders having better luck in the Dome. 80 62 1 p.m., Fox No. 10 Ohio State (2-0) at No. 17 Marquette (2-0) This is the best game of a pretty lean weekend. Marquette's competition was weak during its rout of Grambling State, but it's still a good sign that junior point guard Derrick Wilson had 10 assists to one turnover in the win. Obviously, Ohio State's Aaron Craft will provide a much sterner defensive test, but since the game is in Milwaukee, I'll take the home team in a mild upset. 77 71 Noon No. 25 Virginia (1-1) vs. Davidson (0-2) If Virginia is going to keep playing low-possession basketball, then the Cavs are going to have to drastically improve their 19-for-33 foul shooting performance in the home loss to VCU. Davidson, which followed up its blowout loss at Duke by dropping a home game to Milwaukee, will be overmatched. 64 50 8 p.m. No. 20 Wisconsin (2-0) at Green Bay (1-0) I love that Bo Ryan is willing to play a true road game against a quality midmajor team in his home state -- especially after starting out against St. John's (neutral) and Florida (home). Point guard Josh Gasser did not score in the win over the Gators, so Ryan needs to try to get him going early in this one. 70 60 Sunday, Nov. 16 7 p.m. Creighton (2-0) at Saint Joseph's (2-0) Doug McDermott is the best show in college basketball this season (non-freshman division), but the Hawks have a gem of their own in 6-2 senior guard Langston Galloway. The Blujays walloped Saint Joe's by 29 points in Omaha last season, but now they're coming to Hawk Hill. Different place, different year, different result. 74 71 Noon Indiana State (1-1) at No. 21 Notre Dame (2-0) Once again, Notre Dame has a veteran, disciplined team led by its perimeter corps of Eric Atkins, Jerian Grant and Pat Connaughton. The big question will be whether 6-11 senior center Garrick Sherman can man the post for 30 minutes a night. 75 64 5 p.m. No. 7 Michigan (2-0) at Iowa State (2-0) I realize it will be hard for the Wolverines to replace the scoring of Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway, but if Caris LeVert keeps shooting it well, that task will be much easier. The 6-6 sophomore drained six three-pointers en route to a career-high 24 points in Michigan's rout of South Carolina State. 78 69 7 p.m. Robert Morris (2-1) at No. 1 Kentucky (2-1) None of UK's Fab Frosh were a part of the team that lost to Robert Morris last season in the first round of the NIT, but John Calipari sure was. I'm guessing this one will go a little differently. 93 65 Comments More College Basketball

I have been waiting for an order of wallet frames to arrive so that I could make up a sample of the Diva Frame Wallet. I purchased the patterns from Jessica at Sew Many Creations while I was at Spring Market last month.
The frames arrived earlier this week, and with today's weather being so cold and horrid it was a good day to sit in the classroom (with the heater cranked up) and tackle the wallet. I had a great time stitching it......the pattern was easy to follow and it took no time to make it. The hardest part was selecting the fabrics! I finally decided upon the new 'Ville Fleurie' by French General.
I chose to add an extra fabric on the inside and I just happened to have a zip that matched perfectly.
I can certainly see how it would be hard to make just one of these wallets.......I am already thinking about what other fabrics I could use......but I think I will try the Prima Diva pattern next. Both patterns are available online or in the shop for $15 each. The price does not include the 7.5" frame.......but these are available here as well as in the shop for $9.50 each.
Linda :)

Champions Return to the Chopping Blockby Maria Russo in Shows, December 19th, 2012
For even the most ambitious chefs, the thought of taking a single turn in the Chopped kitchen is daunting. But for a certain 16 competitors — an elite few who've already successfully conquered the chopping block once — the opportunity to do so again just can't be missed.
This January, 16 previous Chopped winners are returning to battle in Chopped Champions, a five-round tournament that will again test their cooking chops and ability to work under pressure with baskets full of unknown, potentially odd and disparate ingredients. With dwindling time on the clock and a panel of professional-chef judges watching their every move, they'll need to rely on more than past successes if they want to claim not just bragging rights but also a whopping $50,000 and the title of Chopped Grand Champion.
What can the chefs expect to find in their baskets this time around? Sea snails to be sure, but also haggis — a much-loved-to-hate minced-meat-like specialty featuring animal lungs, heart and liver cooked inside animal stomach — plus a few deliciously sweet and savory surprises.
Tune in to round 1 of Chopped Champions on Tuesday, January 15, 2013, at 10pm/9c to find out which of the first four chefs will become a two-time victor and earn a spot in the finale.

I am using jqMobi, ( NOT jQuery Mobile ).
I am trying to get a
swipelistener to work on the menu. Basically I just want to 'swipe' the menu open or closed with a horizontal swiping motion. Here is my js:
$.ui.ready(function () {
. . . . .
vthreshold: 50,
hthreshold: 70,
callBack: function (dir) {
if (dir.right) {
if (dir.left) {
This works great except for when I 'swipe' on this red part here -->
If I swipe anywhere else, it works fine. I have also tried to use the
document selector, that also didn't work. I tried to add another
swipelistener to the
#menu and
#menu_scroller as well.
This is very difficult for me to debug as my device is IOS6 and the "Debug Console" has been removed, so I can't just add a ton of console logging. ( I don't have a Mac, so I can't hook up the Developer Menu )
My theory is that since there are
ontouchstart and
ontouchend listeners on the menu items that this is interfering with my
swipelistener. Any suggestions?

Lots of healthy brands. This was perfect for our breakfasts and snacks for the theme parks. Made our trip!
Such a convenient service! Everything was cold, neatly packaged, and at our resort when we arrived. Dates on perishables were way in advance, and produce and bakery items were fresh. Great customer service!
It was so great arriving at WDW and having groceries delivered right to our room. Would use again if we visit again.

Talking tablets: Good, better, best...
Relevant offers
As tablets increase in range and fall in price, there's never been a better time to buy. But how to find one that suits your needs?
Smaller tablets, such as the 7-inch iPad Mini or the Google Nexus 7, are cheaper and more portable than their bigger siblings, the more common 8.9- to 10-inch tablets, but don't usually have the same grunt. If you're after a compact tablet you can hold in one hand and easily slip into your handbag (or large pocket), then why not go small? But if you're after a more powerful beast for getting the best movie and gaming experience then go for a bigger model.
Resolution is king when it comes to screen quality - the higher the resolution the sharper the image. Resolution is measured by pixels, such as the fourth generation iPad's 2048 x 1536 pixels. There are two basic types of touchscreens: Capacitive and resistive. Resistive touchscreens - often in cheaper models - sense pressure, such as that from a finger or stylus. Capacitive screens don't rely on pressure, instead sensing the conductive properties of certain objects such as your finger. They are more responsive to gestures such as swiping and pinching. Also, check that the screen is multi-touch - able to recognise at least three different touches at once - as this enables handy features such as pinching your fingers to zoom in or out on a screen, and many apps are designed for multi-touch screens. Tablet screens are typically measured in inches, diagonally.
Most tablets have at least 16 gigabytes of inbuilt storage, and some have a range of storage options (the iPad is available in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB versions). Be prepared to pay more for more storage - in Apple's case about $150 more for each storage upgrade. Some tablets (not the iPad) also have memory card slots so you can use a memory card to boost your storage by up to 32GB. If you're just going to use your tablet for light browsing, emailing, web streaming and the odd photograph then you shouldn't need lots of storage, but if you'll be downloading movies, games and lots of apps, go for more.
This software will dictate how you interact with your tablet and the apps you can download. The tablet you buy dictates the operating system you'll use. There are three major operating systems:
1. iOS: Apple's operating system for mobile devices, iOS is widely praised as the most user- friendly software for smartphones and tablets, and it has the biggest range of apps, including 275,000 apps specifically designed for tablets.
2. Android: Google's mobile operating system has been adopted by a range of manufacturers so there are plenty of Android tablets to choose from. Android is more customisable and open than iOS - Google doesn't vet the apps that are developed for it - and has the advantage of seamless integration with hugely popular Google services such as Gmail and Google Maps. Unfortunately, its tablet apps are often rehashed versions of Android smartphone apps rather than tools and games specifically designed for tablets.
3. Windows 8/RT: The new kid on the block and still relatively untested, Windows 8 is Microsoft's latest operating system and has been designed with touchscreen devices front of mind. Although it's still light years behind in terms of apps and other content, it's winning some praise for its usability.
If you're going to use your tablet mainly at home or work then a wi- fi-only tablet (which connects to the web via wi-fi networks) will probably suffice, but if you're roaming and want web on the go, then it's a good idea to spend a bit more for a wi-fi and 3G mobile broadband version.
These are the brains behind your tablet, processing and prioritising all the instructions that allow it - and you - to surf the web, play games and movies. Processor power is measured in Gigahertz (GHz). While the make of the processor is important, as a general rule of thumb the higher the GHz number the faster it is. The number of cores a processor has is also important - dual core processors are better at multitasking than their single core counterparts, and quad-core processors are another step up altogether. If you can, go for at least a 1.2GHz, dual-core. Gamers should look for something faster still. It's important to note that the higher the processor's speed, the more power it will use.
Battery life is important - the point of a tablet is to create and consume content untethered from your power point and on the go. Most of the time battery life is described in milliampere hours (mAh) to give an idea of how long the device will run before the battery needs recharging. The rule of thumb is that the higher the mAh number, the better the battery life, but this is not hard and fast as it depends on the the tablet and what you use it for. A Google search should be able to give you an idea of how many hours a battery lasts for on average. If you can, go for eight hours-plus, and get a tablet with a replacable battery.
The more RAM, or memory, the better. RAM temporarily stores data such as applications or files so they can be easily retrieved, for better performance. If possible go for at least 1GB of RAM.
There are several other hardware features to look for. They include front and back cameras for snapping pics and video calling, memory card slots, high-definition video output jacks, and stereo speakers. Some also come with extras including detachable keyboards - which convert your tablet into a laptop and are handy for serious typing.

'I'm happy and excited for this next chapter': Kidnap victim Elizabeth Smart engaged to be married
- Identity of husband not revealed, but reported to be Matthew Gilmour
- Was married and raped by kidnapper Brian David Mitchell when she was 14
- Says she is 'happy and excited for next chapter in her life'
Elizabeth Smart, who was kidnapped at the age of 14 from her bedroom at knife-point and held captive for nine months, is engaged to be married.
A spokeswoman for 24-year-old Smart revealed she got engaged last week and would be getting married in the summer.
Her future husband has not been officially identified, but has been reported to be a Scotsman named Matthew Gilmour.
Wedding gift registers at Pottery Barn and Williams-Sonoma list an entry for Elizabeth Smart and Matthew Gilmour in Utah on July 1, according to the Salt Lake Tribune.
Happy: Miss Smart, pictured with her Mr Gilmour, has said she is 'excited for this next chapter in her life'
Wedded bliss: Ms Smart with her new husband Matthew Gilmour, whom she married in February 2012
Couple: Miss Smart and Mr Gilmour brought their wedding forward from the summer
'She has planned to be very public in her child advocacy work but wants to keep the details of her personal life private,' spokesman Chris Thomas told the Deseret News.
Elizabeth's father Ed Smart said his future son-in-law is a 'fine young man' and that he is very pleased for both of them with hopes they will have a happy life together.
Elizabeth said she was 'happy and excited for this next chapter in her life'.
The pretty blonde, from Utah, hit headlines after she disappeared from her bedroom in 2002. Despite a nationwide search for the teen, she was not found for nine months.
It was only when an alert biker who had heard about her case on America's Most Wanted spotted her at a diner about 18 miles from her home.
In the nine months she was held captive by one-time itinerant street preacher Brian David Mitchell and his wife Wanda Barzee, she was continuously raped and was even married to Mitchell in a bizarre ceremony.
Hitched: Miss Smart was married in a secret ceremony in a Mormon temple in Hawaii
Bravery: Elizabeth Smart, now 24, spoke out for the first time in December to the Salt Lake City Rotary Club about the horrific details of her abduction ten years ago
Never forgotten: Miss Smart, now a 24-year-old university student, wiped tears from her eyes as she recounted the details of how Mitchell 'married' then raped her
He was convicted of kidnapping and sexual assault and was sentenced to serve life in prison in May 2011.
Wanda Barzee was sentenced to 15 years in a Texas federal prison hospital for her role in the kidnapping of the girl.
Last month she spoke for the first
time publicly about what she suffered at the hands of Mitchell,
revealing horrific details about her ordeal, including how he dragged
her from her bedroom to a camp in the woods where he performed the
marriage and then raped her.
She said: 'He went straight from marrying me to raping me. And after that moment I couldn't feel more worthless and more degraded. It was the worse feeling I could have ever felt.'
'I kept begging him to let me go - and he wouldn't listen to me,' she told ABC.
'All I could do was scream ''No'. He said, ''If you ever scream like that again, I will kill you.'
Ordeal: Elizabeth Smart was abducted at knifepoint from her Salt Lake City home on June 5, 2002. She was held captive for nine months
Guilty: Brian David Mitchell was sentenced to life in prison for kidnapping and raping Elizabeth Smart after she was found alive on March 3, 2003
Accomplice: Wanda Barzee was charged with the kidnapping of Elizabeth Smart and sentenced to 15 years in jail
Although Miss Smart has published a
book on her terrifying ordeal and spoken at the trial of Mitchell last
year, this was the first time she was heard in public recounting the
terrible details.
She had been invited to speak to members of the Salt Lake City Rotary Club to help promote her charity the Elizabeth Smart Foundation. It works in schools across the country with a programme radKIDS to educate children on how to protect themselves from danger.
The 24-year-old, who studies at Brigham Young University recalled being tied down with a cable on her first night and the deep sense of hopelessness that surrounded her.
She was held captive for nine months during which time she was raped daily by Mitchell, sometimes up to three or four times a day.
Miss Smart had testified at Mitchell's trial in 2010 in excruciating detail about waking up in the early hours of June 5, 2002, to the feel of a cold, jagged knife at her throat and being whisked away by the religious fanatic.
Going home: Elizabeth Smart with her mother Lois and police officers after being found close to her home nine months after she was abducted
Safe place: Police dogs search the grounds of the Smart family home after their 14-year-old daughter was snatched in the middle of the night
Within hours of the kidnapping, she testified, she was stripped of her favourite red pajamas, draped in white, religious robes and forced into a polygamous marriage with Mitchell.
She was tethered to a metal cable strung between two trees and subjected to near-daily rapes while being forced to use alcohol and drugs.
She described the horrific events as her 'nine months of hell.'
She recalled being forced to live homeless, dress in disguises and stay quiet or lie about her identity if ever approached by strangers or police.
Daily, her life and those of her family members were threatened by Mitchell, she said at the trial.

"Erin, it was a pleasure to work with you and I know we will be hearing more about you in the future as you are a rising star in the speaking world. Thank you again for sharing your message and my retreat center - this Field, Center for Beginner's Mind."
Do you recognize what these are from the picture? Remember VHS tapes? These are the plastic cases many VHS tapes came in. Now that technology is shifting away from VHS tapes, what to do with all those cases? Well, how about use them for craft supplies? The cases in the photo are holding buttons, but they would also be good for holding beads, rocks, or small projects.
I can also envision these cases making great project displays for children. Kind of like a mini diorama. Great for transporting, too, with the lid that can snap shut.
If you are ready to pass along your VHS tapes, consider if the case is worth saving and being reused.
If you have any other ideas of how to use these great cases, please share!

Roseville neighbors protest towering duplexes
Builder continues work — bringing in fill dirt to "lower" height?
Julie Stalmer 7:15 p.m., June 25
By the time the soundman got the mix right, which was about four songs into the set, a near-capacity crowd had climbed over numerous spilled drinks and filled every nook and cranny of the Belly Up to catch a proper vantage point of Saharan rebel rockers Tinariwen.
The band's inspired journey from fighting in the Tuareg resistance against Mali and Niger in the early '90s to captivating audiences with a barrage of guitars and hand drums in 2011 is reflected in their mantra "music is a weapon." Like Bob Marleys occupying their own distinct time and space, the pure, peaceful message of these desert blues practitioners resonates with crowds who don't speak a lick of Tamashek.
Tinariwen's set began with the serpentine rhythms of "Imidiwan Ma Tennam," the intro to their soon to be released Tassili, an acoustic album featuring contributions from Tunde Adebimpe and Kyp Malone of TV on the Radio as well as Nels Cline of Wilco. Through songs old and new, the absorbing call-and-response among the band members spilled into the fervent handclaps of the audience in a recirocal display of positive energy that defined the night.

EVERY now and then people come to IRC or send an E-mail asking for a Tux Machines user account to be created. It's the only way to get comments or forum posts through. It's now scarce. That's because for over a year the registration option has been disabled, due to spam that floods the database with spam users who potentially spam the Web site too (comments, forum posts, etc.), demonstrating a real issue that I have had with PHP-Nuke, MediaWiki, Drupal, and WordPress in some other Web sites. It is a common issue with no perfect solution to it. Since spammers use random names (causing consistency issues in the database) and fake E-mail addresses this can get the server blacklisted by some mail servers, which in itself is problematic.
We have enabled database-based blacklists to prevent some registrations by spammers and this will hopefully allow us to restore community participation, not just from long-time readers who registered years ago. █

Industrial SBC builds on Raspberry Pi Compute Module
On Kickstarter, a "MyPi" industrial SBC using the RPi Compute Module offers a mini-PCIe slot, serial port, wide-range power, and modular expansion. You might wonder why in 2016 someone would introduce a sandwich-style single board computer built around the aging, ARM11 based COM version of the original Raspberry Pi, the Raspberry Pi Compute Module. First off, there are still plenty of industrial applications that don't need much CPU horsepower, and second, the Compute Module is still the only COM based on Raspberry Pi hardware, although the cheaper, somewhat COM-like Raspberry Pi Zero, which has the same 700MHz processor, comes close.

With all of the question marks that always exist when it comes to navigating current conditions and forecasting future ones—i.e. the all-too-common inning analogy—and calls to action to advocate for the hospitality industry, one thing seemed overwhelming clear: the reminder that with all of the concerns and considerations, the hotel business is experiencing opportunity that is at an all-time high.

Entries are now being accepted for the inaugural SHIPPINGInsight Award, to be presented during the SHIPPINGInsight 2014 Fleet Optimization Conference, Sept. 30 through Oct. 2, 2014 in Stamford, Conn.
The award will honor a ship operating company and its technology partners for the successful implementation of an innovative technology or initiative that reduced operating costs and improved operating efficiencies. A panel of independent judges, including maritime journalists, academics and third-party experts, will select the winner, and the award will be presented at a gala awards luncheon, Oct. 1. "Results are often derived from collaborative efforts of multiple parties working together to achieve the desired goals," said SHIPPINGInsight co-director Jim Rhodes. "For that reason, the award will be presented to all the parties who played a major role in the project."
Judges will evaluate entries based on the following criteria:
"We recognize that companies may be reluctant to disclose sensitive data publicly," said Rhodes. "Any information submitted with award entries will be held in strictest confidence by the judges and will not be released without express written permission."
Award submissions should be in the form of a case study, and projects must have been completed within calendar year 2013 or 2014. Entries may be submitted by either the shipping company or its technology partners, and must be received no later than July 15, 2014. Entry forms may be downloaded at www.shippinginsight.com/awards.
Entering its third year, SHIPPINGInsight 2014 attracts maritime industry executives from around the world with a focus on practical solutions for the challenges facing ship operators. This year's event is expanded with the addition of a dedicated Marine LNG Symposium, Sept. 30, to precede the Fleet Optimization Conference, Oct. 1-2.
Online registration is now open. Delegates can register for the Marine LNG Symposium, the Fleet Optimization Conference or both. Attendees are encouraged to register now to take advantage of substantial Early-Bird discounts.
Edward Scott, chief operating officer of Excelerate Energy, will give the keynote address for the Marine LNG Symposium.
