Apple in recent days, applied and got a lot of new patents which includes the iPen. One of the latest product filings which the company describes "Smart Stylus iPen". So far, this American company has filed about 20 patents, which can be used to manufacture a new brand stylus with advanced functionality.
The patented product consists of an iPen which has a 919 Orientation sensor which will work on 920 touch panel which consists of 929 Orientation Sensor. As the company describes the process as
Sense stylus orientation relative to reference > Sense touch panel orientation relative to reference > Calculates stylus orientation relative to touch panel.
This patent isobtained today, in short and non-technical narration, describes a system that will determine the position of the stylus through the built-in sensors in the tablet and stylus itself. The patent describes the application of the ideas and embodiments in practice.
For example, using such sensors can create a lot more teams that will recognize the touch screen. So if you turn the other end of the stylus, it will erase drawn on the screen, in the manner of a pencil with an eraser. If you tilt stylus, it can be used for fine shading or shadows sketches, again in the manner of an ordinary pencil. If put a pen on the table, then turn on the power saving mode, as the system will understand that you are currently not using it.
The patent itself was filed for consideration as early as 2011. Apparently, Apple has become an important turn the stylus into something more than "just a stick," as by Steve Jobs. Also, if you believe the rumors that persistently indicate early release iPad Pro with 12.9" screen, a "smart stylus" for such a device would be very useful. So in this case, the path of the patent to the finished product may be quite small.

Vintage Vietnam-Era Camera Gun.
Via BornRich:
"No doubt, the gun is a notion synonymous to death, but a movie camera in the shape of a gun is really a pleasing idea. The rare movie camera that simulates a military gun is a true handiwork with a black case and 5x lenses mounted on the wooden rifle stock. The rifle stock cameras were used by reporters during the Vietnam War. The weird but attractive gun movie camera, which is available on eBay for a decent $1,318, is a blend of guerrilla art and homemade gadget awesomeness that you can take out in public places and capture your favorite moments with a click of the trigger."

WWII Propaganda Posters.
Via Animation Archive:
"By the end of the First World War, the techniques of waging war in the hearts and minds of the public had entered the modern era. Propaganda had become much more sophisticated and powerful. By WWII, leaders realized that battles could be fought and won on the homefront. Propaganda became an important part of motivating the population to work together toward the common goal of defeating the axis powers. Compare the WWI posters in this and the previous post to the examples from WWII presented here. Notice how the design and layout enhance the emotional impact of the concepts. Many of these posters still pack a wallop."

Guac Bowl!
Guac Bowl is this Sunday. And it's just about the most important thing to happen to holidays (if you, like me, consider Super Bowl sunday a holiday) since, well, Halloween. The rules are simple: bring a guac, try everyone else's guac, then vote. There are four categories open to competition:
•Best Traditional Guac (no weird ingredients),
•Best Alternative Guac (some special ingredient, or prepared unusually),
•Best Presentation (which has become, over the years, the most creative and impressive category -- see photos),
•The Icarus Award (for the guac that attempts to fly the highest, only to fall the furthest).
Last year I won Best Presentation for my GuacAlien, and I'm hard at work creating this year's entry. It's a secret for now, but I'll keep you posted on how it turns out. Meanwhile, check Adam's Guac Bowl site for more information, ideas on hosting your own Guac Bowl, and tons of pictures from years past.

Vast Food Nation.
My friend Adam is super talented. Check out his new series, Vast Food Nation. Episodes 1, 2, and 3 are part of your complete breakfast.
Episode 1 - The Green Death
Episode 2 - The "Fun" in Funeral
Episode 3 - Kidnapatorious
While the voices are mostly Adam's friends (listen for me as both a Budweiser Frog and Paparazzo) and the always-hilarious Bill Dwyer, I still think the greatest part is the character designs. What a challenge it must have been to create characters that have just the right amount of "same-yet-different-ness" to their corporate counterparts.
Anyway, enjoy the episodes, and help Vast Food Nation achieve its rightful moment of internet glory.

Eric Tan's Poster Art.
Eric Tan creates posters for Pixar. On his work, he says:
"The bright colors and flat shapes were inspired by the Disneyland attraction posters you see when going through the tunnels at the entrance of the park. Even when I was 6, I remember thinking those things were amazing, so getting to reference them for this project was a thrill in itself."
I love those old Disney posters too, Eric. See more examples of Tan's work here and here.

"Hitchcock" was created by designer Matt Terich as an homage to the iconic lettering that so often appeared in Bass' title work. The font is not a faithful digitization of any particular title sequence or poster — in fact, type designer Nick Shinn notes that Bass didn't do the actual lettering and veteran Robert Trogman adds that Dave Nagata did most of the drawings — but it does give a general sense of Bass' rough, hand-cut style.

It's been a month now since I'd completely stop wearing bras (with the exception of sports bra) and I feel really good. So this post will revolve all about the reasons for this decision. What inspired me to push this and what's my stance on it. You may or may not agree with what I will say but I wish you'd just be at least open to the idea of it. The world is changing and we must adapt to the changes because that's how life is. So here it goes…
One of the reasons for my decision is that it's uncomfortable. No, I don't wear bras that are too small or too big for me. They're just really uncomfortable. Throughout the day while I'm at the office, it makes me feel super uneasy sitting there and doing work with this annoying and suffocating-feeling. I know some of you might say, hindi ka na ba nasanay or you've got to be used to wearing a bra by now! Yeah right, because I've been wearing bras since I was around 12 or 13 years olf which makes it around 10-11 years? Well nope, I'm not used to it.
Secondly, back then I didn't really have a choice. It was somehow mandatory before. Of course with school and college, it seemed to be what people call as normal. But growing up and becoming an adult, I somehow realized that the things we do are because of what people expect us to do and as a result, we just follow them to please them. I'm so sick of the fact that we do certain things because that's what everyone is doing. Life is about the choices we make and that's what makes life so wonderful. But how can we have a colourful life, when we're just following what the other people are doing?
The third reason is health. I want to take care of my boobs, they're very important to me and as a woman, it's one of our assets. According to certain research, bras provide no benefits to the boobs in general and may also be harmful over time especially due to the underwire and push-ups foams used. Breasts are actually great things, they can handle themselves on their own because they have their own muscles to carry themselves. And with bras, boobs become independent to it and the boob muscles have no sense anymore which in the long run, can result to saggy boobs. So the purpose of going braless is to let the muscles do their job.
The fourth reason is bras are overrated. Through the years, it has evolved as a fashion to women. Drastic developments have been done to bras, with push-ups, bling-bling and all that. It's clearly too much. And that could also be blamed on advertising (yes, it's contradicting to my line of work) because over the years they've created an image that bras are an accessory and not as a need. Media has certainly played a big role in changing the perspective of people which is kind of disappointing especially to be part of this industry. In which I am also blessed to be part of this industry because it gives me the opportunity to have a say in it other than just keeping it to myself.
These are just some of my reasons and it may have no sense to some but it's important to me. Boobs are part of our bodies, whether you're a man or a woman. It's just like our arms, legs, toes or fingers. They're there, they exist and we all have them. So why are we so afraid to be comfortable around them? I want you to be comfortable with yourself. I'm not saying that you should also follow me and not wear a bra. But I encourage you to be who you are and follow what you want to be. Not generally with wearing a bra but with your life. My decision for not wearing a bra is just one step of the bigger picture. It's time you did something you want and for yourself.

The Eucharist is the heart and center of the sacramental life. The Second Vatican Council referred to it as the source and the summit of the whole Christian life. The Eucharist not only signifies but actually contains the body and blood of Christ. At the Eucharist we gather together around a common table and partake of the banquet that Christ has prepared for us—now and for all eternity.
The Eucharist also has a more universal meaning and significance. It is a reminder to everyone that we are one family under God and that our family solidarity is sustained and deepened by the ordinary things of life, especially through our eating together. We eat together not just for physical nourishment, but also to celebrate and strengthen the bonds of love and friendship that give our lives meaning, purpose, and direction.
Eucharist is one of the sacraments of initiation. "Christian initiation is accomplished by three sacraments together: Baptism which is the beginning of new life; Confirmation which is its strengthening; and the Eucharist which nourishes the disciple with Christ's Body and Blood for his transformation in Christ." (Catechism of the Catholic Church, article 1275)
"Receive what you are (Body of Christ)
Become what you receive (Body of Christ)"
- St. Augustine

"He's 5-foot-3. 112 pounds. Black hair. Glasses… Oval face."
Max Fischer (Jason Schwartzman) is the un-hailed king of Rushmore Academy. Rushmore is his life. He is a scholarship student, made such because of a stellar one-act play he wrote about the Watergate scandal in the second grade.
Per the film's opening, he is involved in 18 different clubs and extracurriculars, and is always on the lookout for another activity to add to his jam-packed routine. But that doesn't make him an exemplary student. In fact, he is swiftly put on academic probation because of poor grades; if he fails one more class, he will be kicked out of prep school.
Max develops a fat crush on elementary school teacher Rosemary Cross (Olivia Williams), and with the help of Herman Blume (Bill Murray), an industrialist with a soft spot for Max, Max seeks to win over the heart of Miss Cross by building a magnificent marine observatory for her. But when Headmaster Guggenheim (Brian Cox) catches wind of Max's plans, Max is expelled and must make a transition to Grover Cleveland High, a local public school where his love of extracurriculars isn't shared by many.
"My top schools where I want to apply to are Oxford and the Sorbonne. But my safety's Harvard."
Herman, too, has developed an infatuation for Miss Cross, and the two begin seeing each other. This spawns a war, both for Rosemary's affections and against each other, when Max discovers what's going on. Rosemary eventually gets rid of Herman and stops talking to Max, because they're both "little children," something she learns after Max tries to woo her for the last time by faking being hit by a car. On top of that, Max has lost the loyalty of his friend Dirk by spreading a rumor about he and Dirk's mother and spurned the friendship of Grover Cleveland classmate Margaret.
Knowing he can't win Rosemary for himself, Max instead tries to repair his academic standing and his relationship with his friends, right his wrongs, and win back Rosemary for Herman, with the aid of some unlikely helpers and a scheme so crazy it just might work.
"Couldn't we just let me float by, for old times sake?"
Director Wes Anderson is known for the light-hearted whimsy he brings to the screen, a sense of almost unreality that viewers either love or hate. Count me as the former, because I loved Rushmore. It is creative and funny, sometimes sad but always charming.
And while it does at times approach that surreal whimsy that is typical of Anderson, Rushmore is still able to come back to reality and play with emotions in a way that really makes you care about and feel for this slacker of a student.
With Rushmore, Anderson attempts to show that we all deserve a happy ending: whether we've been hurt or have done the hurting, whether we are in the right or in the wrong, we all deserve a silver lining.
"I saved Latin. What did you do?"
Though not as noteworthy as the A-list cast he brought together in 2012's Moonrise Kingdom, Anderson has spooled together a fantastic group of actors here, both young and old. Schwartzman makes for a perfect Max Fischer, and is very believable as an eccentric teenager trying to get what he wants.
Good, too, is Bill Murray as Herman Blume. He plays the role in a rather understated manner at times, but is enjoyable nonetheless. His comic timing has always been good, but seeing him in a role that requires a little dramatic acting is fantastic.
Olivia Williams makes for an excellent Miss Rosemary Cross. She is pretty in the way I always hoped my elementary school teachers would be, and exudes a sophistication we often expect in academics. The roster is rounded out with great child acting from Mason Gamble and Sara Tanaka as Dirk and Margaret, respectively, nice turns from Seymour Cassel as Max's father Bert and Brian Cox as Dr. Guggenheim, and a very funny yet small role from Luke Wilson as Rosemary's Harvard friend.
"Take dictation, please. Possible candidates for the Kite Flying Society…"
Rushmore begins with a devilishly funny and handsomely charming opening sequence and closes with a very touching ending. Fortunately, everything that happens during those in-between 80 minutes is equally as funny, charming, and touching. It would have been a shame if that wasn't the case, but I'm glad it is. In the few films of his that I've seen, Wes Anderson has yet to disappoint, and that short list now includes Rushmore.
Going in, I hadn't anticipated writing a full review of Rushmore. I generally save full-length reviews for new releases, and generate smaller "capsule" reviews for older fare. But as I began writing my capsule review, I got swept away, much as I did during the opening minutes of Rushmore. It's a new favorite of mine.

Benjamin West (October 10, 1738 – March 11, 1820) was a British North American history painter around and after the time of the American War of Independence and the Seven Years' War. He was the second president of the Royal Academy in London, serving from 1792 to 1805 and 1806 to 1820. He was offered a knighthood by the British Crown, but declined it, believing that he should instead be made a peer. He said that "Art is the representation of human beauty, ideally perfect in design, graceful and noble in attitude."

Washington, DC
27 June 2008
In addition to the violence and human rights violations by a repressive regime, Zimbabwe voters will take note of their economic woes as they cast ballots today in a run-off election for president. Over the past two years, inflation has escalated to a state of hyperinflation, which economists suggest can be curbed by replacing the country's central bank with a new monetary system. That's the finding of a new study by Johns Hopkins University economist Steve Hanke which has just been published by Washington's Cato Institute. Professor Hanke, who is also a senior fellow at Cato, says that the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe is an inflation-fueling money machine that should be abolished and replaced by a national currency board that restore stability and growth to the country's economy.
"I've been involved in stopping hyperinflations in the 1990's, and you can do this within 30 days. If you don't stop the hyperinflation, you can't have economic stability, you can't have political stability, you can't have any semblance of normalcy, so you obviously have to have a politician with a will to do it," he said.
Professor Hanke argues that Zimbabwe's central bank has been used to print money whenever the supply runs out and provide jobs for supporters of President Robert Mugabe's government. He says the process, fostered by the regime's determination to stay in power, continues to spiral out of control and prevent opportunities for a return to economic growth.
"It's a terrible thing for the people who are involved because the economy completely collapses and they're just robbed of all means to sustain themselves," he notes.
Far from being a radical proposal akin to American attempts to abandon the gold standard of currency valuation, Hanke says that getting rid of the Zimbabwe Reserve Bank would restore Zimbabwe's rich monetary tradition, under which a currency board system performed efficiently and circulated currency without problems.
"There've been in fact very few hyperinflations because the main monetary system there is historically the currency board system, which is one of the systems I've recommended in the Zimbabwe report and which Zimbabwe actually had from 1940 to 1956 and the thing worked beautifully. So Africa was just thoroughly covered with currency boards, and most of them were backed, by the way, by the gold standard. So you had generally stable money historically in Africa," said Hanke.
Although the chronic economic woes have forced thousands of citizens into poverty, caused millions to emigrate, and led to radical declines in health and the average Zimbabwean's life span, the Cato Institute senior fellow says there are no guarantees that resolving the hyperinflation will result in better government for Zimbabwe. But he says any meaningful political changes cannot be accomplished unless rampant rising costs are brought under control, and that is what has enabled other former hyperinflationary countries like Serbia and Bulgaria to take the necessary steps to overcome their crises.
"Ultimately if you get into hyperinflation, you know that its life is limited because people simply won't support a government in which hyperinflation is raging away. So if that's the condition that exists, the public is very much tuned into the idea that we have to get out of this death spiral that we're in, and they're very willing to listen to recommendations and adopt them. And most of the cases I've been involved in, they have adopted them very quickly," he claims.

The objectives of this activity, which was launched in the year 2002, include:
- The exposition of economic competency of female economic specialists in the male domain of economy
- Promotion of an economic culture, designed both by women and men
- Presentation of female role models for prospective female junior managers
Competent women are to be highlighted in the male domain of economy, who are refuting established ideas about female characteristics. Such women are assertive and profit-oriented. They serve as role models to female junior managers.
The philosophy
The award is oriented in the principles of gender mainstreaming. Both on a European level and in the Federal Republic of Germany, gender mainstreaming focuses on systematic involvement of both genders in the arrangement of all patterns of human existence. Particularly it is a matter of sexual equality in the occupancy of top positions of politics and economy.

We've seen safety George Wilson do that and heard about visits to teams from other players who have been cut loose, but haven't heard much from safety Charles Woodson since his fruitful tenure with the Packers came to an end. Woodson has indicated a desire to continue playing and his agent says that several teams have expressed interest in having the veteran join them for the 2013 season.
"I talked to Charles Woodson yesterday and we're discussing possible upcoming visits. There are a number of teams that have expressed interest in him. He is still interested in playing for a contender," Carl Poston said to Josina Anderson of ESPN.
Anderson identifies, via NFL sources rather than Poston, the Seahawks, Dolphins, Jets and Giants as being among the teams that have put in calls on Woodson. The Seahawks were the only one of that group that qualified as a contender in 2012, but playing a lot might not be in the cards on a Seattle team that's well-stocked at safety with Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor. That might not be a deal-breaker if being in the mix for a trip to the Super Bowl is of paramount interest to Woodson.
We should get a better idea of where Woodson might be headed when he starts taking those visits.

This post is on performing a very simple test anyone can do to make sure they hire the right Disc Jockey. Many people struggle with hiring a DJ because it's not something they have experience in. Some hire based on a recommendation or a brief meeting.
Imagine it's now less than week before your wedding or big event. You've spent a year planning every detail, down to the seating arrangements and choosing the perfect font your invitations. Suddenly it occurs to you that you have no idea what your DJs system looks or even sounds like!
Will it be a tangle of ugly wires supported by milk crates blasting the kind of sound usually heard over the Walmart intercom? Will the bass be overwhelming, making it impossible to talk and blocking the ability for your guests to think? Will the DJ have incorporated some kind of cheesy lighting to try and cover the unsightliness of his rig?
Thankfully, there is a simple way to evaluate your prospective DJ before you fork over hundreds of dollars as a non-refundable deposit. Forget checking for a business license (anyone can get one), or endorsement by some far removed, "official" DJ association. Send them their required fee and they will endorse you too.
Whether your entertainer is recognized on paper or not, how his or her system SOUNDS is critical. Most DJs are not experts in the technical realm of sound specifications. They may not even know what "signal to noise ratio", "total harmonic distortion" or "frequency response" is. The good news is, you don't have to be either!
For many DJs the quality of their sound system is dictated by how much they can afford to spend. The resulting sound may turn out to be shrill (too many highs), unclear or "muddy" and even distorted. This is where your ears and eyes come in. Ask for a LIVE AUDITION so you can gage for yourself how the DJ's equipment sounds and looks. If your DJ is not willing to "audition" for you, it may be because he is embarrassed by the look or audio quality of his rig. This may be a red flag.
Have the DJ play a song you know. One that that incorporates bass, drums, keyboards and vocals so you get a full range of sounds. Dance songs are usually good. Ask the DJ to turn it up for a moment. Now close your eyes and listen.
You don't have to be an acoustic expert to know if you like it. Is it full and warm or hollow and "tinny". Does it sound like an AM radio or more like what you might hear in a movie theatre? Is the base "punchy" but not overwhelming, allowing room for the mids and highs? Are the highs too brassy, making dogs howl and ears bleed? Are the mid-range (vocals) present enough? Is the overall sound flat or is there "depth"?
Remember, this is what you and your guests will be hearing all night long!
Of the top 20 cinema chains in the USA, 75% use JBL sound!
While the sound can be enhanced by the use of equalizers and sonic enhancers, the right speakers are key. Whether it's JBL, Yamaha, Mackie or others, speakers have their own sound characteristics. And off-brand, budget speakers are often lacking in sound quality. Ask the DJ why he chose the speakers he uses. Often great sounding, name brand speakers are not much more expensive than low-end, budget cabinets. If the DJ is scrimping here to save a couple of bucks, what else is is he cutting corners on?
If there is too much "hiss"- brass or cymbal sounds (highs) or too much bottom end (bass), ask if the DJ can adjust it. The MIDRANGE is where the melody is- warm and full vocals, keyboards and guitar with the highs and lows serving as complimentary bookends.
Now go find the sound YOU like. You're already an expert as you've been listening all your life. Do a little EARWORK and you will feel confident as your event approaches, knowing your guests will experience complete sonic satisfaction!

New South Wales weather: Snow traps drivers, low pressure system hits coast
- Written by Super User
- Published in Discount Travel News
Dozens of people have been rescued after becoming trapped in their vehicles by heavy snow west of the Blue Mountains in New South Wales.
Emergency services were called to Jenolan
It took emergency services several hours to tow the cars and tourist buses out of the snow and free people trapped inside.
NSW State Emergency Services (SES) spokesman Phil Campbell said people should take care when driving in the area.
"We are asking people who are driving in the area around Oberon to drive with care and to avoid any unnecessary travel," he said.
No injuries were reported among the dozens of people rescued.
SES central west controller Craig Ronan said everyone was safe.
"The roads became open again and people were taken to safety in a nice warm location and everyone was fine at the end of the day," he said.
"It would have been an experience for some people, I suspect, if they haven't seen snow before, but everything worked out in the end."
Meanwhile the SES is warning people to prepare for wild weather, with a low developing off the state's north coast.
The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a severe weather warning for the mid-north coast and northern rivers.
The low pressure system is expected to move slowly northwards throughout the day before moving east over the Tasman Sea on Thursday.
"Damaging winds averaging 60 to 70 km/h with peak gusts in excess of 90km/h are likely about higher parts of the Hunter and coastal fringe of the mid north coast and northern rivers today, extending to eastern parts of the northern tablelands this afternoon and evening," a BoM statement said.
Residents should prepare for deluge: SES
Heavy rain has lashed the mid-north coast, with some areas receiving over 100 millimetres over a 24-hour period and the Bureau of Meteorology warning flash flooding is also likely.
Mooral Creek and Mt Seaview on the mid-north coast has already received 122 millimetres and 103 millimetres of rain respectively, in the 24-hours to 10:35am.
Mr Campbell said crews had been notifying local property owners north of the Hunter to prepare for the heavy rain.
"We're just asking folk there to lift pumps and relocate livestock and equipment to higher ground," he said.
"If they think they may be isolated ... stock up on food, fuel, medicine and other essentials."
In June, wild weather lashed coastal NSW, damaging homes.
Mr Campbell said the SES performed more than 300 flood rescues during that weather event.
He said the SES wanted to remind people not to drive through floodwaters.
"It's really important that people get that simple message about not driving through floodwater, taking a longer but safer way home."
Coastal erosion worries, predicted record high tides
The BoM has predicted sea flooding over low lying areas could see the mid-north coast see its highest tide of the year tonight about 9:00pm.
Surf Life Saving NSW spokeswoman Donna Wishart warned people to be cautious near the coast.
"We're expecting some fairly significant surf conditions and bad weather conditions from the mid-north coast up to the far north coast," she said.
"There [are] some record high tides predicted to coincide with some fairly powerful southerly swell surf coming through, which will impact beaches [and] could result in some coastal erosion.
The wild weather on the mid-north coast caused problems for fire crews battling a blaze near Coffs Harbour overnight.
A Rural Fire Service spokesman said a house and shed was destroyed in the fire.
The inclement weather made it difficult for crews to get trucks close to the house and police were called to help transport portable pumps to the fire.
No-one was home at the time.

Hello Reading Friend,
Today, guest blogger Michael Hope has created a great commentary; not just about the new book by Harper Lee, but one on the state of traditional publishing as well. It is a must read for anyone in the industry, and interesting for readers who have put their trust in publishing houses to produce the best of American literature for years. Mike is a lawyer and aspiring novelist from Littleton, Colorado, and a member of Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers. Please note than I have added the bolding and subheads:
Unless you've been out of touch for the last few weeks, you've probably heard the shock and dismay surrounding Go Set a Watchman. The New York Times broke a critique embargo on the book before it was released, and that let loose a flood of harsh and unusually explicit reviews in newspapers across the world. In two different reviews, the Times expressed its disappointment, the New Yorker called it a failure, and National Public Radio's Maureen Corrigan called it a mess.
Why such strong reactions? I think the initial reason was that millions of people preordered the book expecting a sequel similar to To Kill a Mockingbird. Readers who loved that book naturally want to catch up with their favorite characters, but Watchman is likely to shock and infuriate them. Without revealing any explicit spoilers, I'll say that Watchman turns Atticus Finch into a grotesque doppelganger of his former self. In addition, another popular character from Mockingbird has died before Watchman begins. And Scout, the idealistic child from segregated Alabama, becomes a New York liberal who spouts some incredibly bigoted opinions of her own.
Everyone in publishing this looks terrible.
I don't intend to pass judgement on the merits of the story, but I'm fascinated by what Watchman reveals about modern publishing. It's a literary train-wreck I can't stop staring at. Everyone involved in publishing this book looks terrible. HarperCollins has known from the beginning what the public reaction will be, but it did absolutely nothing to warn potential readers that they shouldn't expect Mockingbird 2.0. A lawyer might call that a fraud of omission.
In any case, nobody will be surprised to hear that a once-respectable large publisher wants to make a ton of money off an inferior novel, not after Random House published Fifty Shades of Grey. HarperCollins has been thrilled with sales of Watchman—more than a million copies already.
Who's watching out for Ms. Lee?
So you might wonder who has been looking out for Harper Lee's interests in this latest publishing bonanza? Ms. Lee is represented by the lawyer who controls Ms. Lee's finances, and that lawyer strongly favors publishing the latest book. That I can't understand. Ms. Lee's lawyer had to have realized how dramatically this book would damage her client's reputation. Ms. Lee is deaf, blind, and, according to many who know her well, mentally impaired. She is 89 and lives in a nursing home. It's hard to imagine how she's going to benefit much from this financial windfall.
Her lawyer asserts that Ms. Lee is delighted with the publication of Watchman, but I can't help but wonder whether she understands the level of controversy surrounding her latest book. Many critics openly doubt that her writing ability could have progressed so quickly from her first novel written, Watchman, to her second, Mockingbird . My own view is that a great editor can work wonders, and she benefitted from years of help from a legendary editor, Tay Hohoff.
The truth is most writers have one, or a dozen, early books that never should see the light of day. Ms. Lee was no different. Watchman is set at a time long after Mockingbird, but Watchman was Lee's starter novel. She tried to sell it in 1957, but numerous publishers rejected it. Then Ms. Hohoff did her the huge favor of suggesting she take one small bit of backstory from Watchman and expand it into a full book. Lee took that advice, and over two years, she and Ms. Hohoff created the magical Mockingbird. It won the Pulitzer Prize, not bad for a first published novel.
Here's where the seeds of the current trouble first were sown. Ms. Lee never went back to revise Watchman, not even to remove the many passages she took verbatim from her earlier draft to create Mockingbird. Ms. Lee did try and write a couple of other novels, but she never finished them. I think she realized anything she did later wouldn't compare well to Mockingbird.
Six decades later, her current lawyer says she stumbled across the original Watchman manuscript, but the New York Times has cast considerable doubt on the lawyer's story. At any rate, the lawyer convinced Lee to publish it, knowing full well that Ms. Lee couldn't participate in the normal editing process where it no doubt would've undergone dramatic changes like Mockingbird. I can't help but wonder what's in this financial bonanza for Ms. Lee's lawyer?
HarperCollins treated the original Watchman manuscript as holy writ, not making any substantive edits. More importantly, the publisher and lawyer both kept their mouths shut—didn't even prepare a blurb about the story. Millions lined up to pre-order the book.
And what have readers found? They see Lee's supposedly enlightened views from 1957 about race relations. Of course, that was long before the Civil Rights era began. The bottom line is that race a tough issue for a new author to tackle, and it needs to be handled with great sensitivity. Abraham Lincoln, the Great Emancipator, held views on African-Americans that shock many today. For example, he wanted to send freed slaves back to Africa, and he didn't believe they deserved equal rights to whites.
Unfortunately, the supposedly enlightened views of Ms. Lee back in the 1950's are vulgar and paternalistic now. That is exactly why Alice Lee, who was Harper Lee's protector and lawyer until a few years ago, adamantly opposed publishing Watchman during her lifetime. If Ms. Lee or her current lawyer had been in their right minds, they would've followed Alice's advice.

The amount of hop acreage planted outside the Pacific Northwest has grown 75% this year, now topping 2,100 acres. The vast bulk of American hops are still grown in Washington, with Oregon and Idaho batting clean up, but a number of states throughout the country are starting to blossom as legitimate hop markets.
Even as the U.S. has leapfrogged Germany to become the number one hop-growing nation on earth, prices are still up and demand still outpaces supply. But given how a mere three states account for more than 96% of all domestic growth, there is also ample room for any number of states to invest in the hop to alleviate that load. According to what we remember from Econ 101, that should, in turn, increase supply and level prices. Hell, even Florida's getting in on the game at this point.
A couple weeks back, we reported on the Pacific Northwest's record hop harvest this year, and there's a reason the PNW is king. The region is geographically blessed in relation to the equator and the harvest climate is ideal. Secondly, it's also possible that hops grown in, say, Maine or Michigan, will have different aromas and flavors than hops grown in Washington, including the many now ubiquitous varieties that inform hundreds of the most popular beers from all over the country. "In new areas, you've got to keep your ear to the ground," Stone COO Pat Tiernan told the Portland Press Herald.
And that's not a bad thing. Open roads only encourage innovation—and if you can't get your hands on Cascade en masse, a handful of a new unnamed varietal from Virginia certainly represents an open road. Beyond that, it enables more breweries to proudly wave the flag of locality. Small craft brewers have long touted their use of locally sourced, small-batch ingredients from neighboring producers—chocolatiers, vintners, coffee makers, etc.—as an edge. So when the hop itself, the genuine soul of the beverage, becomes a truly local product, don't be surprised if it fundamentally changes what we consider to be a "local beer."

One thing that didn't quite make it into my recent interview with Terry Riley for Fact was a brief conversation we had about working for film – or rather, about how rarely, compared to other composers of his generation, Riley had composed for film soundtracks. Was this something he had deliberately avoided, I wondered?
"I haven't avoided it," he replied. "It hasn't come my way, you know Martin Scorsese didn't knock on my door." Listening back as I transcribed the interview later, it occurred to me that this might just be a sly reference to the Philip Glass-scored Kundun.
"I've been happy with that," Riley continued, "because basically I feel music is a total, complete art to occupy your senses. It is interesting to work with images. It hasn't been something I've pursued because I'm very satisfied with music as a complete obsession."
In terms of (relatively) mainstream, narrative cinema, there is one exception, however, and it is a distinct oddity. In 1975, Riley composed a synthesizer-led score for a curious Dutch film called Lifespan, directed by Sandy Whitelaw – a man otherwise better known for providing English subtitles to several foreign language films and making brief appearances in both Der amerikanische Freund and De battre mon coeur s'est arrêté. He only directed to other films and remained uncredited on one of them. Lifespan itself would seem to be one of the few films to combine an interest in genetics and gerontology with shibari bondage. It stars Hiram Keller (from Fellini's Satyricon), Tina Aumont (from Modesty Blaise and Tinto Brass's Salon Kitty) and Klaus Kinski as the muysterious Swiss Man (a role with so little dialogue apparently because Kinski thought so little of the script that he would simply discard large chunks of it as they went along).
One of the cuts from the soundtrack would later be arranged for strings to be played by the Kronos Quartet.

Quick guide to beer
A quick guide to beer
Beer in the UK varies considerably from most continental beers and a lot of the most common beers found in the US (though we know the States are starting to catch up with some of its micro-brews).
When you go into a pub, there are a few basic kinds of drinks you'll find available on the pumps and here's a quick guide to what you're likely to find.
Real Ale or "proper" beer
Describes traditional ales, whether English, Welsh or Scottish. The Irish don't tend to make much ale, preferring Guinness, which is Stout. Ale primarily refers to beers which are top-fermenting. The strength of ales varies and is usually dependent on how it's made - although you won't normally find beers in the UK as strong as Belgian beers, there are a number of producers producing stronger beers (See BrewDog, for instance - their strongest beer is somewhere around 27.5%). Strengths are typically in the range of around 3.8% to 5%, with some exceptions being around 6%. Typically, ales have a sweeter, fuller body than lagers. Other names for ale include Bitter, IPA (India Pale Ale), Mild and Best. These are the beers you usually see on the hand pumps (as opposed to taps, where it is pumped electriclaly or propelled by gas).
Most common brands are still beers like London Pride, Bombardier, Young's and Greene King, although, there are a number of London breweries now who's beers are proving popular with real ale drinkers as well as a lot more access to regional variations. Some of the London beers you might see include: Meantime (Greenwich), Sambrook (Battersea), Brodies (Leyton), Battersea Brewery (Battersea), Redemption (Twickenham), Camden Town (Camden) and Kernel (Tower Bridge).
Lager is the name for bottom-fermenting beers of Central European origin. They are the most commonly consumed beers in the world. This is a pale, mostly golden drink which varies in strength from fairly innocuous "cooking lager" to super-strength lagers designed to get you pissed, to continental pilsners (which also vary in strength). Common brands you'll find in most pubs are Carling, Carlsberg Kronenbourg, Fosters, Stella, Groslch.
Belgian beers
These are from, as the name says, Belgium. A number of pubs sell bottled versions of many popular Belgian beers now, varying from the pale to the brown to the Trappist, depending on the pub, and there are quite a few in the UK now which sell it on draft. Well, it is only across the channel, after all. These are very different to ales for the most part, and are entirely dependent on the ingredients used to make them. As for strength, that varies too, from about 4.5% all the way up to 12.5% - there's a reason the Belgians don't use pint glasses!
Wheat or white beer (Weißbier)
Hoegaarden is probably the most famous wheat beer available here in the UK, it's from Belgium - most wheat beers come from Germany (Weißbier - where it is traditional to put a slice of lemon in it) - and is delightfully light and refreshing, although usually stronger than average. They vary from producer to producer, and the end result can vary widely. It is naturally cloudy as it is unfiltered.
Stout and porter
Stouts and porters are very dark beers - usually black - and of course the most famous stout is Guinness. It is produced using dark or patent malts, that have been roasted longer and includes roasted unmalted barley. There are several versions in the UK, including Oyster Stout. Porter is similar in style (in fact Guinness is a derivative of it), but tends to be a little lighter.
Ordering Beer
Always order beer first, and if you're ordering a stout (i.e. Guinness) – ALWAYS ORDER IT FIRST. It takes longest to pour (and it should stand for a short while, before being topped up) and you'll save everyone a lot of time by getting this right.
Another thing to remember is that you won't get a "pitcher" of beer in most pubs in the UK, but you may be able to purchase a "jug". Chances are, the bar staff won't know what you're talking about if you ask for a pitcher, either.
If you're unsure what you're ordering, some pubs will let you try a sample to see if you actually like this. Most notable for this are the Nicholsons ("Sup before you Tup"), Sam Smiths and Wetherspoon pubs – if in doubt, ask.

I am wearing;
Jumper- Free People
Skirt- SVW
Shoes- Primark
As much as I j'adore the Bohemian style, theres a time and a place and sometimes in the office (sadly) you have to reign it in and alter your look to fit in, in a professional environment. So here you have it, my work wear edit. My ideal work wear would be chic meets boho..which is why I mixed my usual casual pieces with SVW in this unique collaboration. This skirt is the black version of the skirt I have previously blogged about, figure hugging and fabulous i'd wear this skirt all day long. I paired it with my Free People Jumper, and my black pointed heels, because who doesn't love a good pointed heel.

There are two dominant No Free Lunch theorem's that relate to computing. One is focused towards search and optimisation, while the other is for supervised machine learning.
The Key Point
Eric Cai eloquently describes the No Free Lunch theorem in relation to Machine Learning. He describes the theorem as a series of simplifications and assumptions that apply to a problem and it's solution. In turn, he also points out that the simplifications and assumptions that work for one problem and it's solution will not nescessarily work on another problem, thus making the solution ineffective.
The "No Free Lunch" theorem states that there is no one model that works best for every problem
The idea that a solution cannot be picked up and applied to another problem without any work at all is most likely the origin of the name.
The original No Free Lunch Theorems for Optimization paper can be found here, if you're into that kind of thing.

A couple of weeks ago, in the spirit of spontaneity, my sis-in-law and I got a one-way ride to Seaview (cause getting a one-way ticket to Peru was too expensive, JK). As a Karachiite who lives so close to the sea, the frequency of my visits to the beach (or lack thereof) is just plain shameful. This was an attempt to fix that.
It was a beautiful evening, the sun setting the sky ablaze in vivid hues of orange and yellow. Gentle waves melting into the sand were a stark contrast to the strong, briny wind that we could almost taste. I could've stood there for hours, hypnotized by the sea. Except for one tiny problem. Actually two:
1. The garbage everywhere
2. The stench of rotting garbage
I don't know if it can be categorized as a Pakistani problem – this habit of leaving a trail of trash in our wake. But it's definitely a common sight at most public spaces in Pakistan. It's quite a collection too – from McDonald's wrappers to corn cobs, anything you can think of. We see it so often, it becomes a part of our existence. We learn to carefully sidestep trash heaps and unthinkingly roll down windows to watch wrappers fly into the air behind us.
I mean, I get it. There aren't enough trash cans. There aren't enough people in power who care enough to do anything about anything. We could spend hours talking about everything that's wrong, and still only scratch the surface. But let's not. Since we do enough of that on all the other days (not saying you should stop, it's the rite of passage for being a Pakistani, after all). But let's just make today about something else.
I'll be the first to admit it, I'm not much of a patriot. More often than not, I can be categorised as the jaded, "nothing-can-be-done-about this country" variety. But I have my days. When I wrestle that demon of cynicism into believing that it's wrong. And that we're not headed into utter ruin (despite our best efforts). For me, that doesn't mean organising rallies where I can wear face paint and mindlessly chant "Pakistan Zindabad" (though I have nothing against that, whatever floats your boat). It just means playing our part as responsible citizens. And if that means, picking up other people's trash then so be it.
Today, as we celebrate the resolution that helped bring this country into existence, let's resolve to pick up after ourselves. It might be the tiniest resolution ever but at least it's one we have control over. And maybe, just maybe, it'll be the start of something bigger.
That's all for now.
Pakistan Zindabad.

Sydney – I just thought it was amazing that we were able to talk to someone in a different continent in the first place. It's so amazing to me how far we've come with technology and it's times like these that technology seems so useful and good for our society. I thought it was so interesting to hear about the post- apartheid world in South Africa, and how life has been there since that time. It wasn't surprising to hear that things are still segregated and race is still touchy there. Even just in the media, you can see how the representation of South African people is mostly white. I would love to talk to someone who's been living there their whole lives, to see how they think the society has been changing and how it's been shaped by its history.
Emma – I thought that it was a really fun and unique thing to do! I remember Skyping with a neurosurgeon in eighth grade with one of my classes and this reminded me a lot of that. I especially liked getting answers from a person who has firsthand experienced South Africa. It also really made me wants to visit SA, not only because I had a dream last night that I went to SA to try and stop post-apartheid racism. The man that we Skyped with seem very cool and I hope that I will be able to do something like that another time, whether it is in this class or another class. I think that getting firsthand perspectives are a really good thing for kids who are just starting to figure out how to shape our opinions.
Maya – I thought that it was really interesting to talk to someone that is currently living in South Africa, and learn his perspective and hear his responses to our questions. I thought his response to Matthew's questions about the similarities between South Africa and the rest of Africa vs. South Africa and the western world, and which region was more alike to South Africa was very interesting. I didn't really know about the relationship with South Africa and the rest of Africa, but after listening to the man talk, I got a better understanding of how the rest of Africa views South Africa. After talking to the man, I wish I had asked him questions about the stigma around AIDS/HIV in South Africa and also about how black foreigners are viewed by South Africans. Overall, I got a better insight of what it's really like to live in South Africa.
Leslie – I thought it was nice being able to experience this. And kind of get an insight look on something more than just reading the book on the issues of South Africa. I feel like we got to know South Africa more by the questions that our classmates asked. It was nice to get a point of perspective from Erik because he also lives in Evanston and he can compare and contrast the difference between our lives and people lives in South Africa. He made us get a better view on South Africa and help to shape how we feel on South Africa.
Leah – I found the discussion very interesting. I really didn't know much about what life is currently like in Johannesburg, so it was really cool to learn more about post apartheid South Africa, especially from someone that was from Chicago. Even the most simple comments he gave, on say the weather in South Africa gave me a new and better understanding of what that place was actually like. What I found very interesting is how there are still clear divisions between racism, and not all apartheid problems have been resolved yet. It really reminded me on how in America, we don't have slaves anymore, but racism is still a large problem all across the country. I also found the response to Mathew's question really interesting. The question was on how South Africa relates to the rest of Africa and the Western World. It really bettered my understanding of South Africa to learn that they think of themselves as separate from the rest of Africa, and a more progressive country, yet they still have a lot of problems both social and economical. Overall, the discussion today was really able to expand my views and knowledge on post-apartheid South Africa and on what life in Johannesburg is like today.
Dylan – I found the discussion to be eye-opening. It was cool to hear about post-apartheid South Africa from the perspective of a real person, rather than a staged and scripted movie. Not that the movies depict it wrong, just that it is interesting to hear about it from someone who is actually there, because we got to hear about the little details and facts of life there, such as the nature, weather, and what the kids are like. I also found the comparison between South Africa and America to be very interesting, I had no idea that South Africa was like that before today. I'm glad I got the chance to hear from him.
Ellie – I thought the discussion we had with Erik today was very interesting and knowledgeable. Most of what I have learned about South Africa has been about Apartheid and that period of time. The questions that people were coming up with for Erik today were about South Africa post-apartheid, which I thought was really cool because I had been wondering a lot of the same things as my classmates. It was very interesting to hear about what South Africa is like today, from the weather to race inequality. I want to explore this topic more and really see what people's lives are like now, especially race and how race really plays into their society now post-apartheid. Overall this discussion really gave me a lot of wonderful information that I did not know before and opened up a lot of questions and areas of study about South Africa that I would like to explore in the future.
Ryan – I really enjoyed the conversation with Erik today, and I find it awesome that he is chasing a PhD. Receiving a PhD is a huge honor, and is a great tribute to your hard work. Getting that out of the way, I find it extremely interesting how in just a month, Erik was able to find out the opinion of the "people." Also, his ability to analyze, and grasp the problems that South Africa had to encounter is pretty incredible because again, he was only there for a month. Lastly, the questions asked were pretty great. I thought Matt's question was sophisticated, and really brought our conversation to another level.

Former Millers boss Steve Evans is the new manager of Leeds United, owner Massimo Cellino has confirmed this afternoon.
Evans, who left Rotherham at the end of last month, took training at Leeds' Thorp Arch complex this morning after Uwe Rosler was sacked, and becomes the sixth boss at Elland Road since Cellino took over in April 2014.
Evans, who took the Millers from League Two into the Championship, has signed a rolling contract at Leeds until June.
"He [Evans] is a tough coach and I want that character in my team," Cellino told the Daily Mirror.
He added, on Rosler: "He was taking the club backwards rather than progressing, but I accept responsibility because I chose him.
"I wanted the team to play heavy-rock football, but instead it was like country music.
"I did my best to help Uwe, but in the end, I couldn't see even a patch of blue in the sky, just cloud, cloud and cloud."
Evans famously turned up at Elland Road late last season wearing a sombrero after the Millers secured Championship survival.
But the 52-year-old previously stated that he could never work for Cellino.
He said: "If you are a Dave Hockaday, Darko Milanic or whoever you are – if you take the job under Massimo, you know the rules; he picks the players, you coach the players.
"My interest is the Millers and I pick the players, whether they come, whether they go and our chairman supports that. The minute he doesn't support it, I go.
"That would be the way it works here and I get fantastic support. I can't put enough words on it.
"But if you work for Massimo Cellino, you coach the players and get the results from the players he brings in or you pay with your job, that is the way it is."

Project Description
This piece is a study in muted, gentle color and design. The overall feeling conveyed here is one of tenderness, compassion, softness, and love. The two tiers are iced in a pale lavender, and a softly golden shade of yellow, respectively. The dots of ivory, mauve, and soft green add a playful air, and the lavender ribbon bands around each tier pull the color scheme together. The focal point is the mother and baby elephants, both with ears that display the "dotted" motif, and their trunks are touching one another in trust and love. Since ancient times, elephants have been highly regarded for their strength, wisdom, and loyalty. They are fiercely protective of their young, as anyone who has had the bad luck to get between a mother elephant and her calf can confirm. "Baby Elephant" is a lovely, meaningful selection for any baby shower, or "Welcome Home, Baby" celebration, or even for a juvenile birthday event.

I'm still laughing… since I was a child I had dreams about the future, and how one day, I would be able to sit in my pajamas all day with the TV on and still be able to make the big bucks. I'm not exactly sure how this next product fits into that dream, but I'm having a darn good time imagining it.

Connected via the internet with a Wi-Fi connection, the Anybot utilizes a speaker, camera, microphone and video screen in order to bring your presence to the masses. You can broadcast live video of yourself, or just throw up a still picture for the coveted pajama days I spoke of earlier.
Sit back and imagine if you will, your Wednesday afternoon mandatory sales meeting, attended by your Anybot, while you relax in your local pub with a cold one and your laptop.

Photographers speak fondly of the golden hour of light just after sunrise and just prior to sunset, a brief window of time that features lower contrast, warmer hues and pronounced shadows that typically add drama to the scene, and are easier to capture on transparency film or digitally. Hence, conventional wisdom dictates that the most compelling color landscape images are typically made within the first two and last two hours of the day.
In the summer months when there can be nearly 16 hours of daylight in Yosemite, the time between the first and last two hours of the day can seem like an eternity. Not so November through March, when one hardly has an opportunity to put the camera away. And that's just midday.
Have you ever stared in disbelief at the color of light in image of a Yosemite sunset? Have you noticed how many of those images depict autumn, winter and early spring scenes?
Here's the secret: The color of the light in Yosemite gets warmer in the cooler months.......
