text: Vinyl vs Digital and 24 bit vs 16 bit from vinyl. 2008-03-05 09:20:08 24-bit precision gives you about 16.77 million values. Assuming a total groove width of 50 x 10^-6m, the maximum movement of the cutter is physically bounded at about half that. Much more and the cutter will be in the space for an adjacent groove. Thus, 50 microns width divided by 16.77 million gives us about 3 x 10^-12m, i.e. ~0.03 angstroms.The diameter of a hydrogen atom is 1.0 angstroms (1 x 10^-10m). That would make the resolution of a 24-bit digital signal equivalent to an analog cutter whose resolution is just about 1/30 the width of a hydrogen atom. Sadly, this seems to be physically impossible, as none of the particles smaller than atoms are stable enough to be used in records.Of course, records aren't made of hydrogen, they're made of the polymer pvc. One molecule of pvc is about 100,000 angstroms. This means that, if the cutters were actually removing single pvc molecules the vinyl records would have about 11 bits of resolution. Sadly, they don't get even that precise, though I'm not sure the actual precision. To get down to a record made of hydrogen atoms (possible under very low temp/very high pressure I suppose) one would need 19 bits. Anything beyond that is useless as long as the laws of physics hold.Therefore, all other things being equal, digital is superior to vinyl. That said, mastering on CDs is often terrible while the mastering on records is often made somewhat better. This varies from CD to CD and record to record, and CDs are technologically far superior to records.

This is one of my all-time favorite recipes, and I make it on tomorrow's episode of my Food Network show. It also appears in my second cookbook, and was slightly adapted from my old Fancy Macaroni recipe from the old days of 2009. I wanted to share it with you today (with the cookbook pics, which are more recent than the 2009 post) in case you've never gotten a chance to make it.
To say this mac-and-cheese recipe is a treat is a wild underestimation. It's so good, it makes grown men cry. After I made it on the day we filmed tomorrow's show (that tense is messing with my head) I shared it with the cameramen. And they did, in fact, cry. With British accents, too!
The wonderful thing about this mac-and-cheese recipe is that it's perfectly delicious on its own, or with a salad…or as a delectable side dish with a juicy medium-rare steak.
The other wonderful thing about it is that no two bites are ever the same. Surprises abound!
Highly, highly, highly, highly recommended.
Here's how you make it.
Then fry up some bacon until it's nice and chewy…but not crisp! It'll bake later on, so you want to make sure it has room.
Then chop it up into bits. Set it aside.
Next, grab some mushrooms and cut 'em into quarters.
Drizzle them with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss them with your hands, then roast them in the oven for about 20 to 25 minutes, until they're deep golden brown. Shake 'em in the pan once during the roasting time to make sure the cook evenly. Set these aside.
Next up, saute the onions in 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-low heat for about 15 minutes or so, until they're nice and golden brown and caramelized. Set these aside, too.
By the way, you can obviously overlap the preparation of these ingredients; just move from one thing to the next!
Somewhere in there, grate the Parmesan, Gruyere, and Fontina cheeses, and unwrap the goat cheese. Also, get the blue cheese ready and in a dish ready to go!
Now, to make the sauce, melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large pot over medium heat.
When it's melted, sprinkle in the flour…
And whisk it until it's nice and smooth.
Pour in some whole milk, whisking constantly, then let the mixture cook and bubble up for 3 to 5 minutes, until it's starting to get nice and thick.
When it's thickened up a bit, pour in a little half-and-half for extra richness…
And pepper. Stir it around and make sure it's nice and hot.
Next, beat a couple of eggs and grab 1/4 cup of the hot sauce. Drizzle in the hot sauce while you stir it with a fork. This'll temper the eggs so they won't scramble when you throw 'em right into the pot.
Then just pour the egg mixture right in, stirring as it goes. The egg just gives the whole thing an extra richness, because this dish isn't the least bit rich otherwise.
Just kidding.
Next—and this is my favorite part—throw in all the cheeses!
Stir it around until the cheese is melted…
Then throw in the macaroni and stir it around to combine.
I have a question for you: How good do you think this tastes?
Well, I'll tell you: It tastes so good…well, you just won't believe it.
But wait! We're not done yet!
Then lay on half the cooked onions…
Half the blue cheese and half the bacon…
Then repeat all the layers, ending with a layer of bacon.
Then bake the macaroni for about 20 to 25 minutes, until it's nice and bubbly hot, and the bacon on top is crisp.
Mac-and-cheese doesn't get much better than this.
Hope you enjoy the show tomorrow, guys! It's full of things I love and it's lots and lots of fun.

Emily R.
"I had a tough time trying to acquire a domain that fit with the business I was starting. That was until I found a great site, Brandroot, that provided many options to choose from. I found the perfect name for my business and Michael from Brandroot was very easy to work with and assisted me in redesigning the logo as I wasn't too fond of the current one. Overall experience was a very positive one. I definitely recommend Brandroot over its competitors."
Arnoldo V.
"This was my first time buying a brand name online. It has been a wonderful experience at Brandroot. The process of getting a business name, domain and logo has been very smooth and easy. It took about 15 minutes to get everything completed! I highly recommend their service. Thank you Brandroot for all of your help! Look forward to working with you again in the future."
Sunny E.
"We had a clear idea of what we wanted to achieve – a name that reflected unlocking the potential of an individual / group and taking an objective point of view. We achieved this with Brandroot when we found Mentisa, which is a combination of 'mentis' (of mind) and an appended 'a' from 'archimedean point' (a hypothetical vantage point from which an observer can objectively perceive the subject of inquiry). This works well for us."
Brian H.
"After working months with brand experts, we decided on the theme, values, and vibe we wanted, but we couldn't nail down the hardest part: the name. We went to Brandroot with a vision and clear understanding around our offering and mission. From there, it was like shooting a basketball on a rim the circumference of a trampoline. The hardest (and most expensive) part of the process, finding the name, was waiting for us after we brainstormed our brand, mission, and values."
Jeff F.
"Very helpful and friendly service. I have purchased 4 names from these guys with no issue. Brandroot has been my goto for startup names and even business ideas. They make the process of finding a name not only simple but fun and rewarding. I receive same-day responses to emails I send them and always get an answer to my phone call inquiries. I've always been very pleased with their service and always looking forward to browsing their names for my next business venture. I can't recommend them enough! Thanks Brandroot for another smooth transaction and helpful experience!"
Geronimo P.
"I spent 3 weeks searching for the right name for my new company, which was a very tough and impracticable job. That is until I found Brandroot. The job turned into a very quick and clean process and was completed on the same day that I found them. My customer service rep provided amazing customer service. I am not a tech savvy person so he walked me through the entire domain transfer process over the phone and through email and was there whenever I needed him. Brandroot, as well as their customer service, is totally trustworthy, responsive and thorough! Finding the right name and going through the process of transferring is not an easy thing for new business owners. Work with Brandroot! They will take care of you!"

NPU Coyne B chanter problem
A forum to discuss the arcane art of making uilleann pipes, reeds, and set maintenance.
Moderators: the plod, dropkick
Post Reply
Re: NPU Coyne B chanter problem
Also Bill, what cane tube diameter do you use for these narrow bore reeds?
Re: NPU Coyne B chanter problem
Sorry for the delayed reply. I generally use something under 23 mm for these narrow reeds. I have used as small as 17 mm (!) but something around 20-21 seems ideal. It depends a bit on the cane stiffness. I would not worry about centerline thickness provided the elevation of the lips is suitable when the reed is complete. This latter will depend on the 'dip' (relates to gouge radius), tail stiffness, and binding geometry.
Re: NPU Coyne B chanter problem
Any tips for knowing how much rounding of the tone hole edges is enough? If you do too much does everything just become too sharp or are there other consequences?
Re: NPU Coyne B chanter problem
Hi,im jay just new here,but i agree with one person in particular. To fix you E problem in both octaves you need to get some sticky tape and cover the 1st note the note that you put your little finger on,and your e's should start to balance..and the next time you make it just make that dirst note on your chanter 1mm smaller.
Ill give you some more help tomorrow just drop me a line here

Since it was founded in 1918, Sapim has focused exclusively on manufacturing bicycle spokes.
Not exactly a great way to generate brand awareness,
but it does mean that the company based in Wilrijk (NL) can offer its customers the best quality possible.
Last year Sapim produced over 100 million spokes for road bikes, city bikes, wheelchairs and sulkies
(carts used for harness races).
Their machines produce 120 spokes per minute.
And while other factories do the same at a lower cost, Sapim also manufactures spokes manually
- their craftsmanship is their key asset.
While we're throwing around numbers, you should know Sapim manufactures 5000 different types of spokes
and customizes spokes according to its customers' wishes.
Length, weight, color: they can all differ per customer.
Many cyclists have been successful thanks to Sapim spokes:
big teams like Lotto, Quick.Step, Discovery Channel, T-Mobile and Rabobank use Sapim spokes in their wheels.
Sapim is on a quest to find the perfect spoke and works with the universities of Leuven and Ghent,
spending countless hours researching ways to improve its product.
And their efforts are paying off! Sapim has managed to develop spokes that are stronger as well as lighter.
It's a phenomenon that's very interesting to the competition, but a secret that the company will of course never divulge.

And yet they still have more human rights than in any other middle eastern countries, at least if they are secular in their beliefs.PeterD wrote:Not lately, Lex, but I do know that they constitute roughly 20% of the population of Israel.Lex on Jan 13 wrote:I doubt it has ever crossed your mind that there are about 1.5 million Palestinian Israeli citizens.
I do know also that they're treated as second-class citizens, and their few representatives in the Knesset treated as pariahs.
Not really. It's not exactly PC, but it's not genocidal either. Muslims find the presence of anyone not of the faith in Mecca to be anathema, so I don't see why the Israelis' "promised land" shouldn't be closed to Muslims. Turnabout's fair play.PeterD wrote: By the way, what do you think crossed the minds of these second-class citizens when Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni vomited these horrific remarks to students at a Tel Aviv high school, as reported by IDF Radio on Dec. 11, 2008?
"Once a Palestinian state is established, I can come to the Palestinian citizens, whom we call Israeli Arabs, and say to them 'you are citizens with equal rights, but the national solution for you is elsewhere."
No. I used it in a purely denotational sense, with no connotations intended; they did (and do) occupy the land.PeterD wrote:?Lex wrote:They are descendants of the Palestinians who did not fight the occupation of the former Palestine by the Israelis.
Was this a Freudian slip?
But Israel is also an "old place" of the Jews. Not only that, it's their only "old place", and they have, oh, 2500 years prior claim over Muslims. And if the Israelis gave the land back lock, stock and barrel, where would they live? After that little problematic episode in Western history called the Holocaust, it seems some Jews don't trust us to give them a safe home. And seeing as how, even now, Europe is experiencing disturbingly high levels of anti-Semitism (even against Hasidic Jews, who are anti-Zionists), and the party of appeasement has been elected in the USA, I can't say that I blame them.PeterD wrote:No, Lex---no need to "sacrifice" Jews. What the Palestinians need, as Nooj so succinctly put it, is "(some of) their old places back."Lex wrote:A lot of people, here in the US and elsewhere, have this strange notion that all we have to do is appease the terrorists, and they'll leave us alone. And how should we appease them? Hand them Israel on a silver platter. Then all the bad men will leave us alone. It's ironic. We live in a mostly secular world now, and yet, even many of the secularists think that sacrificing Jews is the road to salvation.

Project: Profiled sheeting and exterior wall profiles for leading Croatian grocery chain.
Vrh Martinšcice bb
51221 Kostrena
When signed late 2007, the Lindab Coverline and Construline delivery to Croatian grocery chain Plodine ranked as Lindab's biggest single order ever.
The delivery consists of wall and roof sheeting and accessories for the restyling of 11 existing Plodine supermarkets, as well as products for some 50 new ones to be built in 2008 and 2009.
Following test installations, the Lindab solution proved to be a significantly faster and more cost-effective way of renovating and cladding existing as well as new supermarket buildings.

Counting Down
It's a pretty rare occurance to have Paul Konerko disappoint White Sox fans, but that's just what happened Sunday afternoon in the Sox 10-0 win over Texas.
After collecting a hit in his first two plate appearances, Konerko's career hit total stood at 1,999 as he looked to become the 265th man in Major League Baseball to reach 2,000 and only the 13th player to do it in a White Sox uniform.
But unfortunately for Sox fans in the crowd Sunday, PK failed to collect in hit in either of his last two at-bats, meaning the Sox star will likely reach the career milestone Tuesday or Wednesday on the road in Anaheim in a late night Chicago time contest.
It's history that's worth staying up for as Konerko is about to join an impressive list of players to collect No. 2000 in a White Sox uniform:
Jim Thome, 2008
Frank Thomas, 2003
Tim Raines, 1993
Carlton Fisk, 1989
Luis Aparicio, 1969
Nellie Fox, 1960
Luke Appling, 1943
Jimmy Dykes, 1935
Al Simmons, 1934
Harry Hooper, 1922
Eddie Collins, 1920
George Davis, 1902
Konerko is also hoping to become the 41st player in MLB history with 400 home runs (he's seven shy) and 2,000 hits. Frank Thomas is the only other Sox player to grace that impressively brief list.
18 Comments
I guess it's nice to have major milestones happen when a player is on their home field, but what happened (or didn't happen) yesterday mustered no sense of disappointment in this fan. Go PK!
Well, I had my excitement for the day. Here's hoping we get a W tonight in earthquake-laden LA. Maybe it's a sign. Go White Sox!
Hey, Josh, are you OK? Were you shaken badly? (Some of the quakes we have here in Northern Cal, I barely feel them, and some I only find out from the news that we had one. Others, however, … 🙂
Apparently, I was only 30 miles away from the center, but there hasn't been much damage from what I can tell. The building I was in swayed for about 30 seconds. We have a shelf unit in our warehouse that is comprised of steel beams and even that thing was swaying violently. But overall, I think it was harmless. Definitely nothing I'd ever seen though.
Well, the Tigers are starting to do what I thought they would do before this season started. They are beginning to pull away.
Just my opinion, but they are clearly the best team in our division. It is going to take a really nice run by the Sox or Cleveland to catch them. Both the Sox and Tribe are feeling the effects of the injury bug right now.
And this game is ovah! Ozzie lost this one for us by leaving Jason Frasor in to pitch the ninth inning, not to mention playing Adam Dunn at first base. So, we spot them a run in the first with two errors and still manage to tie it at four. Shoulda, coulda, woulda, and with the Tigers finally winning close games…..Go Sox'12…….j.k. (Sorry all for that negativity)…….
Catch this? Twice in the last few days on ChicagoTribune Live, a reporter has said how nutty it is the Sox have refused to bench Dunn for good! One even said that our Sox would have won 12-15 more games and would be in first place! AMEN!
Too bad we have a manager who cowers in fear of Adam Dunn instead of TRYING to win! Hey, Scott, here is your slogan for 2012– "DUNN IS BACK !"
How many times has Ken "Homer Simpson" Harrelson given his sobbing speech that Dunn could STILL get hot and carry us to the playoffs….13 or 14 times? YAWN!
Hey, Hawk, good luck with that theory—month #5 !!
I see there were about 40,000 empty seats at the big weekend Rangers
series–despite perfect weather. Any comment, Scott?!?
ESPN last night even mentioned how the team from Pennsylvania drew more in 4 games than the Chicago White Sox have in any series this year! OUCHY!
Good job, Brooks Boyer!
I should have added a " LITTLE LEAGUE " team from Pennsylvania drew more than our White Sox.
Bravo Bill,
Apparently your last comments were so accuarate that none of the other fair weather Sox fans have found the time, or a reason, to post since. My hat is off to you buddy.
Short and simple: Go Mark and go Sox'11….j.k.
Last time I checked, attendance figures have nothing to do with the standings.
No need to post comments about that.
I'm with JK. Let's see if we can take care of the Twins and hope the Tigers stumble a time or two before coming to the Cell . . . .
Sincerely (or maybe not, lol),
"Fair weather" fan
Would expect nothing less from you chump.
Bill And Buster, if you judge your team by their attendance, maybe you should be a northside fan. I am a Sox fan if they win or lose, and I know I am not qualified to do a better job than Ozzie, Kenny or Jerry. But if releasing your frustrations on this blog keeps your blood pressure down, then lets call it healthy, and go for it.
Personally I prefer golf.
I prefer winning streaks, the longer the better. Let's hope the Sox keep this one going, because winning is fun!!
Remember: "build it and they will come?" Well, the Sox are / always have been: Win and they will come. But this team HAS to prove that it CAN win. Why go to a game when you're pretty sure you're going to see a loss? That's NOT fun. Right now it IS fun and if they continue to win it will STAY fun. The jury's still out on this team, but I think if our good play continues, the fans will support them at the gate as well as in our hearts… Don't stop believing and go Zach and go Sox'11….j.k.
I'm right there with you bench and if I am ever down your way, I am stopping in your pub and ordering me a cold beer and toasting to your post.
Keep it going boys, this is starting to look interesting. Except this year, I keep saying that and then getting disappointed. I wonder if my bi-polar medication I have to take because of this season would be covered by the White Sox? Up and down, up and down, up and down. Well, as long as we end up on an "UP" it will be all worth it.
Three words…Go White Sox!
Marie I will buy you that beer and a big juicy New York Strip.

And yet I also become annoyed whenever the great Homer nods off. - Horace 23BCE
The 'Homeric Nod', or continuity as we now call it, has been a problem for thousands of years. Some deliberate, most accidental, continuity is an age old challenge for storytellers everywhere.
I have a friend who teaches the ins and outs of continuity (known also as script direction). She's brilliant, and no small fry, having been the 'scripty' on films as fabulous as The Matrix series, The Lord of the Rings (all three) and soon to be released, The Hobbit. I did tech support for a class she gave last week and I found film continuity not all that different from the issues a novelist faces. A lot of the techniques for catching these errors in film translate well for authors, and it does make a huge difference, having the continuity water tight.
Because unless it's a comedy, seeing or reading an anachronism, inconsistency or error will jolt the reader/viewer out of the participation mystique of the story. Suddenly they are no longer 'with' the characters but back in the audience, scratching their heads because a jet just flew over ancient Troy. Oh boy. That's almost as bad as Edward saying that Carlisle, in 1660, "actually found a coven of true vampires that lived hidden in the sewers of the city . . ." when said sewage system wouldn't be built for another two hundred years. If the reader knows their history, it's going to snap them out of 'it', and that's definitely not the goal.
Chamber of Secrets where Dumbledore tells Harry that Lord Voldemort is the last remaining ancestor of Salazar Slytherin. Sure JKR meant descendant but why didn't the editorial process, and the author, pick that up? (It's been corrected in later print runs, something film editors can't do!) Readers are very good at spotting such things and a lot of subsequent print run corrections are due to them writing in. Don't be shy. Your authors appreciate it!
Usually novelists have more control over continuity than script directors on a film set. What writer, for example, would have gorgeous Captain Jack Sparrow about to say something mouth-watering-witty with the ticky-tag on his bandanna showing? Novelists aren't dependent on air traffic, sound artists, make up or wardrobe to get it right. But we do end up being all of the above and more when it comes to the final product - a book in the reader's hands. When the 'poor continuity' hammer falls; it falls squarely on the author's head. It's not like we haven't had a chance to make corrections.
Publishing houses may differ slightly but the editorial process looks something like this:
1) Author hands in manuscript
2) Editor makes general comments
3) Author applies suggestions
4) Editor rereads and may return with more suggestions or send on to the structural editor
5) Structural editor edits the entire ms for form, structure, consistency, meaning, grammar, spelling, context, you name it
6) Ms returns to author to approve or reject suggested changes or rewrite scenes
7) Ms goes to copy editor who edits for grammar and spelling mostly but also consistency, meaning and clarity.
8) Ms returns to author to put in changes/rework
9) Ms goes to proofreaders where one to six proofreaders mark errors and make comments. All the comments from various proofreaders are then transcribed onto one manuscript which the publishing editor reviews. At HarperCollins Aus, this would then result in a phone call (sometimes lasting hours) where the question marks and quirks and 'ifs' are discussed with the author. The editor puts in agreed changes.
10) The ms then goes to typesetting and the resulting 'fourth pages' are sent to the author to proof.
11) The author catches any errors and shoots the ms back to the publisher (This process is repeated with third, and second pages until they are down to the first pages complete with the dedication, acknowledgements and copyright info.)
12) The author checks those first pages and returns to editor (the turn around time become increasingly shorter with each of these steps)
13) Ms is off to print. Yay!
It's not a haphazard process, yet still mistakes appear. My friend the script director says that in film, it's often down to the editing process where they have better shot, even with an inconsistency. They'll take acting over continuity every time.
How about you, readers? Have you ever loved a book but wanted to throw it across the room because of the mistakes or typos? I bet this writer (below) wishes he'd had a copy editor on board! O. M. G!

Set in twenty acres of parkland and gardens on the Hook Peninsula, just across the estuary from Waterford city, Catherine and Kevin Dundon's elegant Georgian manor was the ancestral home of the Chichester family and the long tradition of hospitality at this tranquil and luxurious retreat is very much alive and well.
Well-proportioned public rooms, which include an impressive entrance hall and gracious drawing room, are all beautifully furnished and decorated with stunning flower arrangements and the occasional unexpectedly modern piece that brings life to a fine collection of antiques.
Spacious bedrooms, including those in a newer wing which blends perfectly with the original building, generally have superb bathrooms and offer all the comforts expected of such a house - and fine views over the gardens.
Converted outbuildings house a number of amenities, including what must be Ireland's most stylish cookery school - designed to cater for all levels of cooks, from budding enthusiasts to the experienced gourmet - and, alongside it, a beautiful spa.
Behind these, in a former coach house, the Dundons have succeeded in providing something which is usually lacking in country house hotels - a rustic bar, with an authentic rural pub ambience. Aptly named 'The Local', this late week bar provides the perfect contrast to the smart-casual Dundon's Champagne Seafood Bar & Terrace (located in the main house, see below), offering a laid-back experience and wholesome, hearty fare - also live music and a taxi service to nearby villages at weekends.
While Dunbrody is a dining destination for many guests, those lucky enough to stay overnight will also have an outstanding breakfast to look forward to: a magnificent buffet offers fresh juices, fruit compotes, cheeses, as well as hot dishes from a tempting menu. Details like handmade butter are a treat and the charming cows on the Shannonbridge pottery used for breakfast will start your day with a smile. (Dunbrody House is a former national winner of our Irish Breakfast Awards.)
Dunbrody provides a wonderfully relaxing place for a leisure break, but they also cater for business meetings, small conferences, product launches and incentive programmes (full details available on request).
Conference/banqueting (30/120). Secretarial services; video conferencing. Cookery school. Spa & beauty salon. Garden, walking. Children welcome (under 5s free in parents' room; cot available without charge, baby sitting arranged). No pets.
The Harvest Room at Dunbrody:
The restaurant looks out on to a beautifully maintained pleasure garden and, beyond, to a promisingly productive organic vegetable and fruit garden. The dining room is a lovely well-proportioned room, with an open fire in winter and stunning flower arrangements all the time; it presents a striking blend of classic and contemporary style.
Likewise, Kevin Dundon and his head chef, Sebastien Geber, offer tempting menus that combine classical and international influences with local produce and Irish themes; the 8-course Tasting Menu can be adjusted to accommodate dietary requirements, including a vegetarian option, and it is excellent value (€80; with wine, €110). - and suppliers are given full credit: fresh fish is delivered daily from nearby Duncannon harbour, and shellfish from Kilmore Quay, and meats are supplied by Wallace's butchers, of Wellingtonbridge - and organic fruit, vegetables and herbs are, as far as possible, home grown.
Starters - which tend to be pretty and richly flavoured yet light – might include a lovely terrine of foie gras with honey-glazed fig, toasted brioche and raspberry coulis (a rich dish, but the portion is petite), and beautifully caramelised Dunmore East scallops with an unusual accompaniment of creamed sweetcorn with mustard cress & truffle shavings.
Kevin Dundon's 'eat local' philosophy comes through on all his menus, and local meats like rack of Wexford lamb often top the bill - in a terrific house speciality, roast rack of lamb with a confit of shoulder (the slow-cooked meat shredded and served crispy), for example, which is a modern twist on a very traditional theme.
And meals at Dunbrody always end on a high note, so make sure you save a little space for a spectacular dessert – a duo of fruit jellies (raspberry and loganberry) with a minty tea granita, for example, is both beautiful and light...
Catherine leads a well-trained and efficient dining room staff with the charm and panache that typifies all aspects of the hospitality at this exceptional country house. The care and attention to detail seen in every dish is truly admirable, and presentation is masterly, adding to the enjoyment.
An informative wine list which leans towards the classics includes a nice selection of half bottles and wines by the glass. Sunday lunch offers particularly good value
*At the all-day Dundon's Champagne Seafood Bar & Terrace - a stylish contemporary area with a temperature controlled wine cellar and another drawing room off it, and a lovely outside eating area under a white canopy – a smart menu offers about 20 items, half of them served in starter-sized portions, plus desserts and cheese; the food is delicious and served with the usual Dundon style: Hook Head haddock smokies come with grilled bread; beer-battered fish and chips with tartare sauce and a pea shot, and pretty frozen berries are laced with white chocolate sauce.
This stylish and reasonably priced casual food will introduce many new guests to this lovely house.

Escape From Booty Bay (efbb) is the newest game made using the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries. It's a physics puzzle game in which players operate a cannon to stop pirates escaping from the prison. As players advance through the game levels, difficulty increases and new challenges are placed, like firing against moving targets.
The main goal of this game is to test and demonstrate the usage of EPhysics. EPhysics is a library that integrates the EFL and Bullet Physics. More details can be found at this post.
I've being working on this game here at ProFUSION with Ricardo de Almeida Gonzaga (software developer) and Marina Proni (designer), while Leandro Dorileo and I continued the development of EPhysics, adding new features and fixing bugs. Great job, team!
Its initial version reached SVN last week, and can be checked out with:
svn co http://svn.enlightenment.org/svn/e/trunk/GAMES/efbb
Building instructions are on the INSTALL file.
In case of doubts, #edevelop at Freenode is a good place to ask.
Bug reports, patches and new levels are very welcome.

Remove Judge C. Jean Stewart
Denver Probate Court, 2nd Judicial District
*Update: C. Jean Stewart announced her resignation from the Denver probate court in April 2011*
Breaking News!
"Denver's probate judge stepping down after 16 years" ~The Denver Post, April 14, 2011
Articles about the 2011 follow-up PERFORMANCE AUDIT of oversight of guardianships and conservatorships:
- "This is not the first time that state auditors have found Colorado's probate courts failed to monitor guardians and conservators. They reached a similar conclusion in a 2006 audit. Last year, The Denver Post reported in a series of stories that Denver's probate-court files included protected wards who had been dead for years and guardians who had not been contacted for five years or more. The Post reported that the court had lost track of an HIV-positive, sexually active ward; let a guardian charge money for reading poetry to a woman with Alzheimer's disease; and failed to notice that a conservator was taking flights to see his girlfriend with his brother's money."
- "Cammack has filed a lawsuit over her dismissal. Stewart has denied any wrongdoing, but other ex-employees of the Denver probate court have suggested that Stewart got 'very irritated' by Cammack's campaign to hold guardians and conservators accountable. 'The judge didn't like the fact that Caroline was finding all these things,' one former employee stated in a deposition. '[Stewart] told me, 'I don't want to hear all this stuff. We can't take care of all of this stuff.'"
NOTE: Judge C. Jean Stewart was made co-chair of the Protective Proceedings Task Force which was created after the 2006 performance audit and tasked with implementing the State Auditor's recommendations to improve oversight of probate cases.
Articles highlighting Judge C Jean Stewart's tenure as a probate judge in Denver:
- "In Colorado, contrary to its title, the public administrator is in no way a public employee. Instead, the city contracts the position to the private law firm of Steenrod, Schwartz & McMinimee. Robert Steenrod worked as the probate court clerk referee before opening the law firm as public administrator in 1983. He stepped down to deputy status just this year and Melissa Schwartz has taken over as Denver's public administrator….When the judge said that Thomas was to have her conservator appointed to the public administrator, [Carolyn] Walker objected. 'We said no, she wants her own attorney. I want someone to act on behalf of her,' said Walker. 'The judge threatened to throw me into jail for contempt.' The probate court also denied [Bernice] Thomas her constitutional power of attorney by blocking her payments to her private attorney Lorraine Stark, who said that the court denied her fees outright. The law firm Theodore Watson & Assoc., LLC was forced to drop Thomas as a client before the proceedings, leaving her without legal representation and a clear understanding of the situation."
- "The reason so many of these judges get retention is that far and away the bench is fabulous, she said. 'Even if you don't agree with the decision, you can at least understand how they got there. That's not true with C. Jean Stewart.' Finley became concerned about the judge when representing a former client who uses child support payments to care for her developmentally disabled son. Stewart's court took control of the child support, Finley said, and is using it as a "slush fund" to pay a guardian ad litem and evaluator that the judge appointed without consulting her client. Finley said that practicing attorneys also oppose Stewart, but are remaining quiet because they must appear before her."
- "Harry Arkin, a Denver lawyer who has practiced for 53 years, disagrees with that assessment. He said Stewart opened an investigation of his niece, the conservator for a brother who lives on $600 a month, after he was late filing a document on his niece's behalf. The case was closed only after the guardian ad litem found nothing wrong, asked to be removed and declined to charge a fee, he said. 'I don't feel Judge Stewart is a competent judge, because of her arbitrary decisions, her personal bias against people she believes have offended her,' Arkin said. 'There are attorneys she likes and attorneys she doesn't like.'"
- "The Colorado Supreme Court removed a Denver judge from an emotion-filled probate case, saying the judge improperly jailed a poor, medically ill woman for almost three months after telling her to 'shut up' on at least two occasions. . . Stewart prejudged the outcome of the case, and allowed 'marked personal feelings' toward Robinson to affect her judgment without hearing evidence from both sides.
- "Stewart declined to discuss the court's decision to fire Cammack, who contends she is a whistle-blower terminated one month after she started complaining about the court's failure to monitor a ward with the AIDS virus."
- "Steenrod never listed her house for sale. Instead, his office took a call from an investor, Ridgemoor Realty, with a special offer. Ridgemoor would pay whatever Steenrod's appraiser thought the house was worth, plus $2,000. In return, nobody else would get a chance to buy it. Steenrod followed an expedient and well-worn path that cleared an estate sale but fell short of getting the maximum price a buyer was willing to pay. He sold the house to Steven Snyder, Ridgemoor's owner, for $266,000. . . Three days later, Snyder sold it for $315,000. . . Last month, at his request, Denver probate Judge Jean Stewart accepted [Steenrod's] resignation, appointed his partner Melissa Schwartz as his successor and Steenrod as Schwartz's deputy. In a letter, the judge wrote that she did so 'only because I am entirely confident that your successor will serve the city and county of Denver with the dedication and professionalism that has marked your tenure' . . . Asked whether the Denver probate court sought applications from others interested in succeeding Steenrod, court administrator Lee Cole said Stewart 'responded that no others have ever expressed an interest in becoming the public administrator.'"
- "Petrie and Campbell claim that Judge Stewart not only violated Letty's rights, but also Colorado's Probate Code and Code of Judicial Conduct. Of primary concern, they argue, is not just the closed hearing, but a secret visit Stewart paid to Letty on May 23, in which she interviewed the elderly woman 'in lieu of testimony' at the hearing. And then Stewart took it upon herself to act as 'counsel, expert witness and fact finder' as well as judge, the lawyers charge. 'I've never seen anything like it,' adds Campbell. 'Everyone I talk to can't believe it.'"
- "'Denver Probate Court has always been an informal, insular court, specially created, with a circle of attorneys and professional fiduciaries and one judge,' Denver attorney [Chris] Campbell said. 'It engenders an old boys' network. That couldn't happen in a worse place than a court where vulnerable elderly people are in danger of losing all their rights. . . . 'Since I'm an outsider, I don't want to go there with important things because that outside status would affect me. It's not a level playing field,' attorney John Holland said. 'There's the sense that there's a lot of informal decision-making and things are prejudged based on politics or connections between people.'"
- "Secrecy has been a hallmark of this case, particularly when it comes to the judge and her appointees. Two nurses sent by the Denver Police Department to check on Letty were turned away at the door by guardian Florence Jones's aides. When one nurse complained in a deposition that she believed the judge was participating in a cover-up and said she was going to demand an investigation, the judge had the deposition sealed. Stewart's visit to Letty's home was kept quiet. She said she didn't want Judi or John to interfere--nor, apparently, Letty's would-be lawyers or anyone else outside the court. The transcripts from that meeting were sealed."
- "Under Colorado law, the courts are supposed to follow a hierarchical list when choosing a guardian: Spouses, adult children and family friends all rank higher on that list than professional guardians. . . Stewart followed none of these procedures . . . 'It's criminal what they've done to me and my son,' Letty said. 'How could this go on in America? All my rights have been taken away. . . They've taken my money and keep me from seeing my son when he's done nothing wrong.'"
- "On Friday morning, September 1, 2000, just before the Labor Day weekend, Judge Stewart asked if they could wrap up before noon so everyone could have a long holiday. She demurely promised to read Mark's deposition. Sam and his attorney agreed because they were convinced that Mark's own words clearly demonstrated that he had no basis for litigation. In hindsight, this turned out to be an error, because as a result, Mark was not required to present his case and Sam was denied the opportunity to question him.
- "It was a shock when just a few weeks later Judge Stewart removed Sam as trustee. The main goal in a probate strategy such as Mark's is to get control of the money and the first step is to remove the trustee. One would think that the removal of a decedent's designated trustee (especially an only child) would be nearly impossible, but if you have the right judge, it's actually fairly easy."
"Judge Stewart had several options for resolving the matter before her, including; finding the case lacked evidence, deciding that W.C. had appointed his son as trustee for his own good reasons, questioning Mark's motives by taking judicial notice of the corporate case, or simply freezing all the assets, etc. She took none of those actions, but instead took the most extreme action possible -- one that set in motion the means of depleting W.C.'s life earnings, breaking his son and, of course, enriching the gravy train."
"Ace and Buck in the Probate Pit" ~ Estate of Denial
- "In 31 years as a lawyer, I have never advocated voting "NO" (do not retain) on any judge. However, I have never seen a judge as arrogant, uncaring, ignorant of the law and vicious as Judge C. Jean Stewart."

Living in two centuries, it is natural to long for the centuries of antiquity. The 20th century with the folks still alive who remembered the later half of the 19th century is a nostalgia that coincides with being young and wide-eyed. It was a world where happiness was 99% anticipation. Too young for regrets, the world laid endlessly ahead like a blank canvas stretched clear to the horizon.
As Exit from Narcissism begins to take shape, I am allowing myself the freedom to say that I am writing a book.
The central theme of this manual involves the study of duality as it presents itself in the form of mental conflict. It is important to keep in mind that mental-conflict bears little resemblance to neurosis or any other illness based model of the mind.
The brain/body matrix manifests the mind and that mind can not be reduced to a singularity. The human mind is experientially and subjectively a duality which is inherently in conflict. Nothing reduces to one. Anything can be split in two. The idea of oneness is both an illusion and a delusion. It is an illusion because our perspective is a projection of our own perceived oneness. We tend to look out onto the universe from the singular perspective of "I". It is a delusion because we want the comfort of oneness, and we are prone to accept reality only after we have washed it with the suds of our perspective.
Both the perspective of "I" and the perspective of our deeper awarenesses co-exist with little to no consciousness of each other. The acknowledgement of duality is only experienced when the deeper nature is deliberately called up from consciousness by the ego we call, "I".
We wander between and among perspectives against a backdrop. Awareness of our duality is barely noticed. A deliberate command can access the deeper perspective; however, long before we come to understand our nature of duality we have been subject to its massive potential for internal conflict.
Issues of morality and issues with authority plagued us long before we became conscious of our unconscious mind. Becoming conscious of the unconscious provides us with further information than we would have with consciousness alone. The idea that all behavior is purposeful and guides our decisions our thoughts,and feelings is a result of the academic study of duality. Beginning with Freud and Jung as the fathers of psychology we have moved through over a century of deciphering meaning from word and symbols.
Whether our mind is a burning cauldron of creation or an empty vessel waiting to be filled with knowledge, there is no denying the conflict that arises as a simple and crucial aspect of living. All of our thoughts and sensations have a meaning. This fact we have inherited through the scientific and literary history of civilizations.
How are we to make use of this psychodynamic fact of life?
The meaning of conflict and our growing academic understanding of conflict as a question begs for an answer. It is equal in scope to what previous generations asked about the nature of pain in a world created by and all-good God. Conflict stands out from a backdrop of comfort and alerts us to an internal or external condition that requires our attention. Conflict can appear in the form of anxiety and is registered as a sensation or feeling that erupts into consciousness. Because it does not necessarily rush into consciousness with words what we experience is a sense of urgency and to make it worst, it is an urgency that provides no direction.
Because it is experienced as an intrusion, it is in our human nature to want to destroy it. It is the classic killing of the messenger. What ever meaning was intended is lost in the battle that ensues between perspectives of the mind. The unconscious knowledge is not wanted because it threatens to disturb the sleep of the world. We ignore or deny the knowledge of the deeper consciousness to protect the singularity of the ego. The ego does not want to be wrong and does not want to be caught in a less than perfect light. Since the ego is the position of the "I", it carries a great deal of weight toward preventing knowledge from the body to impact the singularity of the self.
The resolution of conflict becomes what life is about. Resolving questions that arise from conflict promotes success and effectiveness. Recognizing the conflict within and applying resolution is the process of adult developmental psychology. Living is the perpetual resolution of conflict. It is deliberate and is never over until life is over.
Our task is not simply to live it is to live well within the parameters created by needing to resolve all the aspects of organic life. It is through the resolution of perpetual conflict–(when we are through taking a breath, we need to automatically resolve taking the next breath), that this successful application becomes the source of joy and enthusiasm.
To access the depths that are within requires a conscious contact, a deliberate attempt to find the source of the body knowledge that holds the DNA of our antiquities. It may seem a contradiction to invite in a perspective that may cause a conflict, but it is the resolution, not the denial of conflict that creates room for joy and contentment and happiness to thrive.
Living well is only difficult when we insist on our singularity. When we become comfortable with conflict as an aspect of the mind that will not go away, we can begin to understand the requirements necessary to govern ourselves. It is this understanding that psychoanalysis aims for. Having arrived at concluding a peace with inner conflict we will have achieved a level of adult development that we call maturity.

Our bodies change with age. It may not be a pleasant thought, but at least most changes are gradual. One thing that does not change as the body ages is the need for physical activity. Physical activity promotes physical and mental well-being. Before you head out the door, learn why your risk for injury is higher as you get older.
As we get older, tendons and ligaments lose some of their elasticity. This can lead to reduced range of motion in the joints, making these areas more prone to injuries. And unfortunately, older bodies tend to take a bit longer to recover from injuries.
Aging can also mean a loss in muscle. This loss usually begins in the mid-40s (earlier if you are inactive) and may decline as much as 10% after the age of 50. This muscle loss can certainly mean a decline in physical abilities and make it easier to gain weight. Fortunately, regular exercise can significantly slow this muscle loss. If you do not use your muscles regularly, the tissues become weaker and less compliant.
Although older adults accumulate a variety of injuries, the most common injuries involve sprains (stretching or tearing of a ligament) and strains (stretching or tearing of a muscle or tendon) around the shoulders, knees, and ankles. These injuries may only cause minor soreness or stiffness. People often do not recognize soreness as a problem, and they work through the pain. This may lead to more soreness and injury. Other common injuries include tennis elbow, Achilles tendinopathy, and shin splints.
A few safety steps will help you keep safe while staying strong.
If you want to live a longer, more productive life, you have to exercise most days of the week. You may need to exercise at a lower pace or for shorter periods of time than you did when you were younger. Remember that you may not be able to play hoops to the level of your 30-year-old colleagues, or play as many back-to-back tennis matches as you once could.
Make modifications to your routine and play smart. Before you get started, follow these tips so you can avoid injury:
Older age no longer means less activity. In fact, it means quite the opposite. The more active you are the better your body will age. Play smart, listen to your body, and you will find more abilities than limits.

I have an odd sort of question. Let's say I have two Maps (map1 and map2) where:
map1: Map<String,Object>
map2: Map<Object,Integer>
map2's keys can only consist of map1's values.
My end goal is to print out the Integer from map2, which represents the value mapped to the key from map1.
For example, let's say map1's keys and values looked like:
and map2's keys and values looked like:"str1", obj1
"str5", obj2
"str2", obj4
In the end, I am wanting to print out something like:obj2, 3
obj1, 2
obj4, 6
Does anyone have any ideas how to go about doing this? I'm restricted to the Map Interface methods (as it is unknown to me which implementing class was used to make the Map)."str1" = 2
"str5" = 3
"str2" = 6

Krill are tiny, shrimp-like crustaceans that flourish in the Antarctic Ocean and provide food for numerous aquatic animals. Oil made from krill has come on the market as an alternative to fish oil. Like fish oil, krill oil contains the omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Krill also contains omega-6 fatty acids, an antioxidant in the carotenoid family called astaxanthin, and substances called phospholipids.
Many grains, fruits, vegetables, sea vegetables, and vegetable oils contain significant amounts of essential fatty acids, but krill oil is an especially rich source.
Carotenoids are also found in many foods, especially yellow/orange and dark green fruits and vegetables. They are not essential nutrients (except insofar as some can be converted to vitamin A), but they might offer some health benefits.
Phospholipids are utilized in the body for numerous purposes, but they are not essential nutrients.
A typical recommended dose of krill oil is 1-3 g daily.
Based on its omega-3 fatty acid content, krill oil would be expected to have many of the same effects as fish oil. See the full Fish Oil article for a detailed discussion of these potential benefits.
A few studies have evaluated krill oil specifically. In one double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 120 people with high cholesterol were given krill oil, fish oil, or placebo.1 The results over 3 months showed that krill oil (taken at a dose ranging from 1-3 g daily depending on body mass and which group the participants were assigned to) improved all aspects of cholesterol profile as compared to placebo, and it was more effective than fish oil (taken at the fixed dose of 3 g daily). Krill oil also reduced blood sugar levels. However, in a subsequent trial involving 113 subjects with normal or slightly elevated cholesterol levels, there was no difference in cholesterol changes between the groups receiving 3 g daily of krill oil and 1.8 g daily of fish oil for 7 weeks. A possible explanation for these differing results is that krill and fish oils are only effective in reducing cholesterol levels when the levels are significantly elevated.5
Another double-blind study compared krill oil against fish oil for treatment of symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and dysmennorhea (menstrual cramps).2 This study suffered from many problems in design and reporting, but appeared to show that krill oil was more effective than fish oil for treating both of these conditions.
A badly designed study hints that krill oil might be helpful for both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.4
Based on its known constituents, krill oil would be expected to have little to no toxicity. Side effects seen in studies are limited to occasional digestive distress and allergic reactions. The only known potential concerns relate to possible blood-thinning effects: Fish oil is known to decrease blood coagulation, and in one case report it increased the effect of the blood-thinning medication warfarin (Coumadin).3 People who are at risk of bleeding complications for any reason should consult a physician before taking krill oil. Maximum safe doses in young children, pregnant or nursing women, or people with severe liver disease have not been established.

The V177 Mercedes-AMG A35 4Matic Sedan is arriving in Malaysia tomorrow, with Mercedes-Benz Malaysia taking to Instagram for a little tease beforehand. The W177 A-Class hatchback arrived in the country last October, and this is now the four-door's turn. This also powers the W177 A35 4Matic hatch, with the added benefit of a boot that grows to 420 litres in the sedan.
This is the mid-range version powered by the German firm's M260 turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine with 306 hp at 5,800 rpm and 400 Nm of torque from 3,000 to 4,000 rpm; outputs are sent to all four wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic and an AMG Performance variable all-wheel drive system that can send up to 50% of torque to the rear wheels.
The setup propels the A35 Sedan from a standstill to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds with Race-Start launch control activated. Inside, we can expect the junior AMG sedan to feature the marque's Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) infotainment system, while the optional AMG Performance steering wheel sports a rotary dial that offers access to Slippery, Comfort, Sport, Sport + and Individual drive modes.
At its global launch, the A35 Sedan's exterior had the optional AMG Aerodynamics Package, which adds a front splitter, front dive planes, enlarged rear spoiler, rear air vent shrouds and pronounced diffuser blades. Rolling stock meanwhile is a choice of either 18- or 19-inch wheels, which house cross-drilled brakes with four-pot, 350 mm disc brakes in front and 330 mm single-piston caliper disc brakes at the back.
For reference, the previous-generation CLA45 arrived in Malaysia as the junior AMG four-door wearing a price tag of RM408,888; there had not been a 35 AMG equivalent at the time. How much do you think this Mercedes-AMG A35 Sedan will cost at its Malaysian launch?

Sebastian Coe, Chairman of the London Olympics, issued a harsh warning for spectators attending the upcoming 2012 summer games. In an interview for BBC Radio, Coe cautioned that certain apparel would bar spectators from venue entry -- all in the name of protecting corporate sponsors. When asked if anyone wearing a Pepsi logo would be allowed into events, he replied with a short "No." When pushed for an explanation, Coe had this to say:
You probably wouldn't be walking in with a Pepsi T-shirt because Coca-Cola are our sponsors and they have put millions of pounds into this project, but also millions of pounds into grassroots sport. It is important to protect those sponsors.
He did say spectators "probably would be able to walk through with Nike trainers," although the Nike swoosh at Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester has been blocked out in preparation for soccer matches. Maybe his next move is to force Team USA Basketball to put tape over their Nike swooshes.

Bucs looking to ride momentum after defeating UNCG
CLINTON, S.C. (Aug. 30, 2012) – With the first win of the 2012 season under its belt, the ETSU men's soccer team concludes the August schedule on Friday when it heads to Edins Field at Martin Stadium for another early-season matchup against Presbyterian at 7 p.m.

Nate Hodges (Meridian, Miss.) sent in the third goal to close out the scoring in the 58th minute, as ETSU won its third straight home opener, 3-1.
Presbyterian (1-1-0, 1-0-0 Big South) enters Friday with an identical record to ETSU, and is also on the heels of a victory, 2-1, in its conference opener over Longwood. A minute into the second overtime, the Blue Hose drew a foul in the 18-yard box, setting up a game-winning penalty kick by Jonny Mercado. The win was PC's second straight in a Big South opener after defeating VMI, 3-1, to kick off conference play last year.
PC played then-No. 20 Furman in its season opener last Friday, falling to the Paladins at home, 3-0.
The Buccaneers are a game up on Presbyterian in the all-time series, defeating the Blue Hose in their only other meeting, 3-0, in last year's home opener at Summers-Taylor Stadium.

Live stats will be provided for Friday night's game courtesy of StatBroadcast.com. Live video will also be available via BigSouthSports.com. Fans wishing to watch the game can make a one-time purchase for $4.95.

27 up, 27 down, a perfect game for Mark Buehrle
When Mark Buehrle arrived at work Thursday morning, making a little baseball history with Ramon Castro and Dewayne Wise and then having a chat about it with the president of the United States probably wasn't on the agenda. On what turned out to be a legendary day not only in the life of the White Sox left-hander but for baseball as a whole, Buehrle took everyone along for the ride of his life at U.S Cellular Field. He did it with Castro catching him for the first time. He did it by watching Wise enter the game in the ninth and save the day with a circus play of which sandlot dreams are made. And he finished it all off by fielding a call from a certain White Sox fan who lives in the White House, President Barack Obama. So it's safe to say that, while this might have been the 18th perfect game in Major League history, there hasn't been a perfect day quite like the one Buehrle shared with baseball Thursday. For Buehrle, basking in the glow of going 27 up, 27 down was hard enough to comprehend, though he'd done it once before. Getting a grip on the perfection and understanding the enormity of the accomplishment, he admitted, might take awhile. …
