text: We saw a snippet of this DC Nation cartoon come out of Comic-Con, but that was only the tip of the alternate reality iceberg. From Wolf Smoke Studios, here's an extremely gee-whiz animated short featuring Batman, Catwoman, and Bane running amok in 1930s Shanghai. Hopefully this means more short animations in the style of DC Comics' Elseworlds line are on the way. (Bring back Batman Hamlet!)

- build the brl-cad svn on VM successfully.
- build the brlcad-7.18.4 on windows(vs2005),but some link error occured from libtclcad.lib(solved go_init(..)undefined)
8 May 2012
- get familiar with the Brep structure.
ON_CurveArray m_C2;//Pointers to parameter space trimming curves (used by trims) ON_CurveArray m_C3;//Pointers to 3d curves (used by edges) ON_BrepEdgeArray m_E;//edges ON_BrepFaceArray m_F;//faces ON_BrepLoopArray m_L;//loops ON_SurfaceArray m_S;//Pointers to parametric surfaces (used by faces) ON_BrepTrimArray m_T;//trims ON_BrepVertexArray m_V;//vertexs
9 May 2012
- solve the link problem when build brlcad_18.4 in vs2005.(function go_init(..) undefinded)
- understand some important point about NURBS. 3D NURBS is not tensor product surface,but it can be represented into tensor product surface by mapping 3D NURBS into 4D using homogeneous coordinate.(The NURBS BOOK page 30)
- circle Arc can be represented by vector{(1,1,0,1),(1,1,1,1),(2,0,2,2)}in yz plane
10 May 2012
- build brlcad-SVN successfully on my ubantu.(PS:/sh/make_deb.sh is a good tool)
- study some about Nonuniform Scaling of Surfaces.
12 May 2012
- find that the ehy.brep is lack of face and loop in brep structure.add them to make a correct brep.
int surfindex = (*b)->m_S.Count(); (*b)->NewFace(surfindex - 1); int faceindex = (*b)->m_F.Count(); (*b)->NewOuterLoop(faceindex-1);
13 May 2012
- find that computing the longest edge size is in the bspile/nurb_tess.c and the nurbs is represented by the form of struct face_g_snurb that is different from the ON_BrepSurface.It needs to implement a new interface for the longest edge size.
15 May 2012
- configure some plug-in unit for my vim (e.g ctags,cscope,winmanger)
19 May 2012
- submit a patch of brep_debug.cpp.check if the index is in the range and string of letter.
Coding period
Week 1
21 May 2012
- read the code of brep_debug.cpp which has many functions to debug the geometry in struct of Brep in mged.
23 May 2012
- update the patch of brep_debug.cpp.add the sub command 'info T','info E' for display the information of trims and edges in brep.Also, make the 'info' dispaly the information in a range of indexed elements for keeping sync with the 'plot'.
25 May 2012
- add a subcommand 'plot SCV' to display nurbs control point net
27 May 2012
- waste a lot of time to test the opennurbs' API of:
int CreateMesh(const ON_MeshParameters& mp, ON_SimpleArray<ON_Mesh*>& mesh_list) const;
- but,it seems difficult to make a good ON_MeshParameters to create mesh successfully.read the sources of opennurbs_mesh.cpp
ON_Mesh* ON_BrepFace::CreateMesh( const ON_MeshParameters& mp, ON_Mesh* mesh ) const { return 0; }
Week 2
29 May 2012
- do some works on converting nurbs curve and surface to bezier
31 May 2012
- do some works on comput the intersection between a line and a bezier curve/surface
- some materials: the nurbs book and Curves and Surfaces for Computer Aided Geometric Design: A Practical Guide.
1 June 2012
- implement RT_ADD_VLIST(vhead, pt1, BN_VLIST_POINT_DRAW) in src/libdm/dm-plot.c but it seems that dm-plot.c has nothing relation with the brep_debug.cpp
2 June 2012
- implement RT_ADD_VLIST(vhead, pt1, BN_VLIST_POINT_DRAW) in src/libdm/dm-ogl.c and upload the patch.
- make progress for subcommand 'plot SCV' in mged.The patch can display not only the control net,but the control point.
Week 3
4 June 2012
- one step that make 2d trimming curve into 3d can be skip because the BREP struct has the edge in 3d corresponding to the 3d trimming curve.
- study the qd tree and kd tree for subdivision of nurbs surface in paper and the approximation error for the subdivision.
6 June 2012
- figure out the coving triangles to avoid cracks when making boundary curve tessellation.
- figure out the trimming curve tracing when splitting the trimming curve into bezier patch.(the active edge,active leaftree)
8 June 2012
- read the opennurbs API and find the ON_NurbsCurve::MakePiecewiseBezier() can clamps ends and adds knots so the NURBS curve has bezier spans (all distinct knots have multiplitity = degree) ,the ON_NurbsSurface also has the same member method.It is a better way to convert trimming curve and surface into bezier
- read the opennurbs API and find the ON_NurbsCurve::InsertKnot() can make the conversion between Nurbs and Bezier if setting the parameter multiplicity equal to degree.,the ON_NurbsSurface also has the same member method.
10 June 2012
- add 'info TB' 'SB' to display information piecewise bezier of trimcurve and surface.patch has been upload
- add 'plot TESS index plotres' to draw the trimesh of a nurbs surface. the tess has not taken apporimmation into consideration and just simply subdivide u,v into plotres steps;
Week 4
12 June 2012
- upload the patch to implement the adaptive bezier subdivision and triangle mesh display which includes the function bezierApporixmation(...),bezierSubdivision_kdtree..
- read opennurbs_ext.cpp,especially figuring out the function of
BBNode* SurfaceTree::surfaceBBox(...) BBNode* initialBBox(...) BBNode*SurfaceTree::subdivideSurfaceByKnots(...) BBNode* SurfaceTree::subdivideSurface(...)
- SurfaceTree::subdivideSurfaceByKnots and BBNode* SurfaceTree::subdivideSurface can help me to create the kd/qdtree as a represent of bezier subdivision.But the recursion termination condition is different.
14 June 2012
- In function of SurfaceTree::subdivideSurface() at src/opennurbs_exp.cpp,line 1528 to 1531:
const ON_Surface* surf = m_face->SurfaceOf(); localsurf->FrameAt(u.Mid() - uq, v.Mid() - vq, frames[5]); localsurf->FrameAt(u.Mid() - uq, v.Mid() + vq, frames[6]); localsurf->FrameAt(u.Mid() + uq, v.Mid() - vq, frames[7]); localsurf->FrameAt(u.Mid() + uq, v.Mid() + vq, frames[8]);
Interval u,v is in gloable area, So I think the four lines above need to be modified.
- Read the BBNode structure in opennurbs_exp.cpp, BBNode will be used to represent the node in qd/kd tree and handling the trimcurve.
16 June 2012
- upload a patch in opennurbs_ext.cpp
- add three functions below to subdivide bezier,in opennurbs_ext.cpp
BBNode* subdivideSurfaceToBezier(...) BBNode* subdivideBezier(...) double getBezierApporixmation(...)
- add two functions below to create BezierTree root as the struct of BBNode
bool setFace(ON_BrepFace* face, bool removeTrimmed); BBNode* createBezierTreeNode();
Week 5
18 June 2014
- compare surface split between
BBNode* subdivideSurfaceToBezier(...) BBNode* subdivideBezier(...) and BBNode*SurfaceTree::subdivideSurfaceByKnots(...) BBNode* SurfaceTree::subdivideSurface(...)
the original method seem to be unsymmetric when split ell.brep sphere.brep. But the new method has not taken the edge length into consideration,so the ratio of lengths in u,v direction may be too long or too small.
- understand SurfaceTree::subdivideSurface() at src/opennurbs_exp.cpp,line 1528 to 1531, it comes to the same result when replacing localsurf into surf because the localsurf's domain is change along with the split.
20 June 2012
- figure out the functions below in brep_debug.cpp which is used to draw trimmed BBNode of surface.But these functions seem not be able to remark the intersections of BRNode and trimcurve
void drawBBNode(....) void drawisoU(....) void drawisoV(....) void drawisoUCheckForTrim(.....) void drawisoVCheckForTrim(.....)
- figure out the trimflag of BBNode: m_trimmed,m_checkTrim and the function of preptrim() in opennurbs_ext.pp.
when a BBNode is remark as m_trimmed is true, the BBNode has been remove out from the surface. When a BBNode is remark as m_trimmed is true, the BBNode in uv region has intersections with the BRNode of trimcurve,so it need to be check again and compute the interections if needed.
22 June 2012
- figure out the functions below in opennurbs_ext.h which can help me to comput the intersection between BBNode and trimcurve.
fastf_t BANode<BA>::getCurveEstimateOfU(fastf_t v, fastf_t tol) const fastf_t BANode<BA>::getCurveEstimateOfV(fastf_t v, fastf_t tol) const
- add a function below to return the parameter t of the intersection based on the two functions above
template<class BA> fastf_t BANode<BA>::getCurveEstimateOfT(fastf_t value, bool direction, fastf_t& t, fastf_t tol) const
- add a function to sort the BRNode in CurveTree by the t in parameter region.
sortT(BRNode* first, BRNode* second);
24 June 2012
- implement TrimNode and TrimLoop to represent the struct of untrimmed regions in parameter area.some functions included below:
TrimLoop(ON_Interval m_u,ON_Interval m_v):tol(0.000001);//construct TrimNode* findPos(TrimNode* n);//find the position to insert for a new trimnode TrimNode* findSamePoint(const ON_2dPoint& pt);//find the node whose point in parameter is equal to pt bool linkOnTrimNode(TrimNode* pre,TrimNode* next);//link two trimnode which both within the bboxing bool insertInEdge(TrimNode* pos, TrimNode* n);//insert a new node TrimNode* travelLoop(TrimNode* n,int step);//travel from a trimnode to form a close loop
Week 6
26 June 2012
- start to implement BVNode<BV>::doTrimming function in opennurbs_ext.cpp.
- implement getLeavesIntersection(....) to find the bboxings of curveleaves which have intersections with the BBNode in UV region
- calculate the intersection between edge of bboxing and trimcurve's leaves(bottom,top,left,right)
- solve some special sitiuations: intersection on the conner of bboxing.
28 June 2012
- continue to implement BVNode<BV>::doTrimming function in opennurbs_ext.cpp.
- deal with a special situation: trim curve is collinear with the bboxing's edge. if the start or end point of trim curve is within bboxing's edge, it is regarded as the intersection between edge and trimcurve.
- in function of BANode<BA>::isTrimmed(const ON_2dPoint& uv, fastf_t &trimdist) const , ' <= ' is used to compare float number. It may cause error because float's precision error,So I make some improve for it. This function will be useful in doTrimming.
- link the innerNode in BANode's BBoxing of uv by call the function inline bool TrimLoop::linkOnTrimNode(TrimNode* pre,TrimNode* next)
30 June 2012
- continue to implement BVNode<BV>::doTrimming function in opennurbs_ext.cpp.
- deal with a special situation: the BVNode covers some trimcurve's bboxing which is remarked as m_checkTrim, however, the BVNode has no intersections with any trimcurve. the method which I use may is not precise enough,So I'll try to make a better one.
- add two functions for BANode for judging if a point is contained in a BANode
bool containsUV(const ON_2dPoint& uv); bool containsUVClose(const ON_2dPoint& uv);
- debug for doTrimming() by subdivide plane surface manually in BBNode* SurfaceTree::subdivideSurface()
Week 7
2 July 2012
- continue to implement BVNode<BV>::doTrimming function in opennurbs_ext.cpp.
- deal with a special situation: if a trimcurve is collinear with a edge of BBNode's uv region and a endpoint of the trimcurve is just on the uv region's conner, the conner point will not to be the intersection.
- add a flag 'unTrimmed ' in 'TrimLoop' to mark if a BBNode's uv region has been trimmed, situation of trimcurve lies on edge, endpoint just on edge are included;
4 July 2012
- insert adjacent subdivide hit into every BBNode's uv region.
- add member var into class BVNode<BV> and assign these member when subdividing surface
BVNode<BV>* north; BVNode<BV>* south; BVNode<BV>* west; BVNode<BV>* east; BVNode<BV>* parent;
- add member function into class BVNode<BV> to get adjacent node
BVNode<BV>* getAdjacentNorth(); BVNode<BV>* getAdjacentSouth(); BVNode<BV>* getAdjacentWest(); BVNode<BV>* getAdjacentEast();
- add member function into class BVNode<BV> to insert adjacent subdivide hit
void insertAdjacentHit();
6 July 2012
- add a trimcurve for ell.brep and hyp.brep manually to test trimming
- ell:left:top view,right:left view
- ell:left:local view,right:uv region
- hyp:
8 July 2012
- continue to debug 'doTrimming'.There exists a situation that some trim leafs' bboxings overlap and it is difficult to find the nearest trim leaf above a surface leaf's bboxing in uv. Function 'prepTrim' mark the surface leaf in such situation as 'm_checkTrim = true'.But in some cases, the surface leaf is trimmed out.I changed the subdivision depth to 10 manually and tested the rhino0.s in mged.Some surface leaves which should be trimmed out are still remain.So, need a more accuracy method to check it.
- image: some BBoxing in uv which should be trimmed are still remain(right bottom conner).
10 July 2012
- find a algorithm for 'TrimLoop' triangulation,algorithm has the steps below:
a) make the node in 'TrimLoop' to form a linked list.
b)for each triangle form by p0,p1,p2 successive in linked list,calculate the minimum inside angle.
c)find the triangle which has the max minimum inside angle, then record the triangle and remove the point p1 in the triangle
d)come to (a) until there only exists three points in the linked list
12 July 2012

Anyone have any stories about their favorite unique content?
One whole saturday morning LL Cool J was on Shade 45 debuting his new album...and, no commercials. Im not a huge LL cool J fan but my earphones were glued to my head the entire show.
I think its great that Sirius XM brings popular artists and can dedicate a whole show to them, interviewing and playing what they want. LL even did a top ten favorites.

†Results of a nationwide study published in 2015 by the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Call: 888-246-1207
Call: 888-246-1207
Antidepressants, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), have been shown to increase the risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior in pediatric and young adult patients when used to treat major depressive disorder and other psychiatric disorders. Because BRISDELLE is an SSRI, monitor patients closely for worsening and for emergence of suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Advise families and caregivers of the need for close observation and communication with the prescriber.
What is the most important information I should know about BRISDELLE?
Call your healthcare provider right away if you have any of the following symptoms, or go to the nearest emergency room:
Suicidal thoughts or actions:
BRISDELLE, and related antidepressant medicines, may increase suicidal thoughts or actions within the first few months of treatment.
Depression or other serious mental illnesses are the most important causes of suicidal thoughts or actions.
Watch for these changes and call your healthcare provider right away if you notice:
New or sudden changes in mood, behavior, actions, thoughts, or feelings, especially if severe.
Pay particular attention to such changes when BRISDELLE is started.
Keep all follow-up visits with your healthcare provider and call between visits if you are worried about symptoms.
Call your healthcare provider right away or go to the nearest emergency room if you have any of the following symptoms, especially if they are new, worse, or worry you:
Attempts to commit suicide; acting on dangerous impulses; acting aggressive or violent; thoughts about suicide or dying; new or worse depression; new or worse anxiety or panic attacks; feeling agitated, restless, angry, or irritable; trouble sleeping; an increase in activity or talking more than what is normal for you or other unusual changes in behavior or mood.
Serotonin Syndrome. This condition can be life-threatening and may include: Nervousness, hallucinations, coma, or other changes in mental status; coordination problems or small movements of the muscles that you cannot control; racing heartbeat, high or low blood pressure; sweating or fever; nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea; muscle rigidity; dizziness; flushing; tremors; seizures.
Reduced effectiveness of tamoxifen: Tamoxifen (a medicine used to treat breast cancer) may not work as well if it is taken at the same time as BRISDELLE. If you are taking tamoxifen, tell your healthcare provider before starting BRISDELLE.
Abnormal bleeding: BRISDELLE may increase your risk of bleeding or bruising, especially if you take the blood thinner warfarin, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), like ibuprofen, naproxen, or aspirin.
Visual symptoms.
Low salt (sodium) levels in the blood: Elderly people may be at greater risk for this. Symptoms may include: headache; weakness or feeling unsteady; confusion, problems concentrating or thinking or memory problems.
Bone Fractures: Women who take BRISDELLE may have a higher risk of bone fractures.
Manic episodes: Greatly increased energy; severe trouble sleeping; racing thoughts; reckless behavior; unusually grand ideas; excessive happiness or irritability; talking more or faster than usual.
Seizures or convulsions.
Restlessness: Women who take BRISDELLE may feel an inner restlessness, nervousness, or be unable to sit still or stand still especially when they start taking BRISDELLE.
Who should not take BRISDELLE?
Do not take BRISDELLE if you:
Take a Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitor (MAOI). Ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist if you are not sure if you take an MAOI, including the antibiotic linezolid.
Do not take an MAOI within 14 days of stopping BRISDELLE unless directed to do so by your healthcare provider.
Do not start BRISDELLE if you stopped taking an MAOI in the last 14 days unless directed to do so by your healthcare provider.
People who take BRISDELLE close in time to an MAOI may have serious or life-threatening side effects. Get medical help right away if you have any of these symptoms:
High fever, uncontrolled muscle spasms, stiff muscles, rapid changes in heart rate or blood pressure, confusion, loss of consciousness (pass out).
Take thioridazine or pimozide. Do not take thioridazine or pimozide together with BRISDELLE because this can cause serious heart problems or sudden death.
Are allergic to paroxetine or any of the ingredients in BRISDELLE.
Are pregnant. BRISDELLE is not for pregnant women. Paroxetine can harm your unborn baby.
What should I tell my healthcare provider before starting BRISDELLE?
Before starting BRISDELLE, tell your healthcare provider if you:
Have liver or kidney problems; bipolar disorder or mania; low sodium levels in your blood; glaucoma (high pressure in the eye); have or had seizures, convulsions, or bleeding problems; have any other medical conditions; are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed.
Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines that you take, including prescription and non-prescription medicines such as migraine headache medication (triptans), other antidepressants and antipsychotics, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
If you take BRISDELLE, you should not take any other medicines that contain paroxetine, including Paxil®, Paxil CR®, and Pexeva®.
What should I avoid while taking BRISDELLE?
You should not drive, operate heavy machinery, or do other dangerous activities until you know how BRISDELLE affects you.
What are the most common side effects of BRISDELLE?
The most common possible side effects of BRISDELLE include: headache; tiredness; nausea and vomiting.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have any side effect that bothers you or does not go away. These are not all the possible side effects of BRISDELLE.
BRISDELLE® (paroxetine) capsules is a prescription medicine used to reduce moderate to severe hot flashes associated with menopause.
BRISDELLE is not approved to treat depression or any other psychiatric conditions.
Please read the Medication Guide within the full Prescribing Information before taking BRISDELLE. Call your doctor for
medical advice about side effects. You are
encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit

I also imagine that you mostly need the hood over the boil kettle, so you could get away with a smaller one that doesn't cover the mash and HLT.

good old firefox
and adblock :)
New rules banning TV ads for junk food during programmes aimed at the under-16s will force firms to punt their wares to kids via mobile phones and the internet, the Children's Food Campaign has warned. The new regulations came into force yesterday, and the campaign's Richard Watts claimed that purveyors of unhealthy fare are …
Ad blocking is only useful at blocking adverts you decide you don't want to see - it's not going to stop your kids playing greaseburger-tetris on the McDonald's website.
Web ads visible in the UK should be subject to the same rules and regulations that TV and print ads are subject to. And by 'web ads' I include websites in general - as much as everyone likes to think of the internet as a happy carefree land of freedom, it's essentially a big advertising billboard for whoever wants to shout loud enough.
Absolutely! adblock and no script.
I recently, ran for a day without no script and adblock running, I also allowed pop up windows, just too see what I was missing. I was shocked, I am not joking, I really was shocked. Wall to wall adverts, popups, flash, annoying tunes. It was horrendous. It seems to me that over 50% of content on websites is now advertising garbage in one form or another. I have had adblock and no script running for a long time, I didn't realise that the web had become so heavily infested with advertising.
The web is approaching ad overload and has become annoying and irritating to use.
Adblock and NoScript are just as essential for browsing the Internet as the actual browser itself is. I truly feel liberated using these add ons.
Could you stop bullhorning Firefox Adblock every single time anything resembling 'ads' comes up? My homebrewed squid acl does a niftier job on that, and I enjoy using Firefox too even if I don't use adblock.
That said, even adblock+noscript won't prevent your kids playing games on mcdonalds.com, which seems to be the point here. If anything, those "social network" fads turning into merchandising have found ways to lure kids into getting bombarded by ads in exchange for points.
Search for something called "nipper". That one sounds fun... someone uploading their pic on that might find him/herself being the new "Dump your pen pal" girl!
Yes you are right, we are very smug about our ability to block anything we don't like.
And we do tend to make a lot of noise about it.
If I had children at home I would adblock the whole of McD's. ie: http://*.mcdonalds.*
So yes, AdBlock can prevent your kids from even reaching McD's. Although thinking about it, I would block it at my router.
While we're talking about advertising, when is El Reg going to wake up and offer an ad-free subscription-based version? I'd happily pay more than what they get out of me from adverts (zero, incidently - I run a javascript script that modifies the CSS of certain websites including the Register to hide all the advertising - sort of a pre-emptive adblock)
Who, in the under-four-feet demographic, doesn't already know about McDonald's, et al? I fail to see the point in banning ads for such businesses when virtually every city in the developed world sports multiple McDonald's locations, all of them festooned in the corporate logo.
"I ate at a 'McDonald's' over in Shelbyville yesterday."
"Really? Never heard of it."
"Apparently, they have 3000 locations in this state alone."
"Must've sprung up over night."
"Who, in the under-four-feet demographic, doesn't already know about McDonald's, et al?"
McDonalds must be wasting their money on all that advertising then!
For small companies/services, advertising tells the world of your existence. The same is not truee for high profile brands. For McD and Coke, advertising is little short of brainwashing and relies on multiple inputs.
These companies advertise for one reason only: it works.
We don't watch TV in our household and don't listen to radio ads. We see billboards and newspaper ads, but these are of little impact as they are designed as "refreshers" and only really work if you see the TV ads. If you cut out TV ads (and interactive web ads), perhaps 90% of the whole ad impact is removed.
The thing about any non-linear medium is it's fairly easy to get around advertising; even the most intrusive web adverts can be mostly declawed fairly easily if required. The problem is with the linear media, there isn't any practical way to miss TV, film or radio commercials other than switching it off altogether.
There is no distinction in the qualitative nature of adverts that is reliant on the size of the company - all adverts have essentially the same purpose and arguing anything else is special pleading. Commercial advertising is intrusive by design, whether it's for Coke or Joe Bloggs' Laundry Express, I don't need to be informed that I have a need with a company being ready to fill it.
But people have conflicting needs; the same people who whinge about the intrusiveness of adverts are the same ones who complain about the cost of the BBC licence fee. You can either pay up front or suffer adverts but you can't have neither. Subscription based services are inherently unfair as they generally only lead to the better off getting access to them and they're commercially risky; if people have to pay for something they'll either take their business to somewhere cheaper or find out they didn't need it in the first place. Only captive markets or de facto monopolies make subscriptions work (see Sky telly, for instance).
If you think billboard and newspaper/magazine adverts only work in concert with TV you are missing the point that they're often designed to target specific demographics you can't reach with TV. TV isn't as pervasive as people think it is because it's very expensive and with so many channels very hard to target. I think anyone being complacent about the impact of advertising or thinking they're less susceptible to it because they don't watch TV is massively under-estimating how deeply entrenched it is.
What the hell does Clint Eastwood flying in a top secret, fly-by-mind, superdupersonic Russian aircraft have to do with blocking ads from McDonald's?
Granted....firing a couple air-to-ground anti-armor missiles at fast food restaurants could be seen as a way to curtail consumption by the kiddies...but it seems a tad drastic to me.
And, why use Clint eastwood....or Russian MiGs? I mean I just finished an article stating that Eagle drivers are being retrained to fly drones...couldn't we just employ them to do it with American aircraft rather than just leaning on one septuagenarian actor and a mythical Soviet fighter?
All so confusing....perhaps I am missing something....

Primus is built around the concept, less is more. Less shoe, less weight – more freedom to move. We had a vision for the lightest movement shoe possible; a shoe that followed the natural shape of the foot and had the least possible interference with human movement. This season, alongside Primus Lite and Primus Trail, we introduce Primus Lux and Primus Trio.
We designed the Primus Lux to be our simplest premium shoe. We've taken man's oldest material, natural leather, which remains unsurpassed by any other material for durability, and used the latest lazer cutting techniques, to create a shoe that's built to last, produced with minimal waste and designed to feel amazing.
The full grain leather is completely unlined, making it much lighter and leaner than most leather footwear. A lazer cut 3-piece upper is glued to the on-road sole to form a smooth casing around the foot. Lazer perforations to the upper minimise weight and increase breathability.
Both the Lux and Trio are complete with a supple leather footbed. Not only is leather the most durable material for a shoe, it's stands up against heat and sweat like nothing else, and gets more comfortable as you wear it. Over time, the footbed will gradually adapt to the shape of your foot.
Also new to SS17, Primus Trio is made of a special blend of materials; premium leather, supple suede and stretchy breathable mesh. The combination of soft suede and leather gives an extra layer of thermal protection, whilst still allowing feet to breathe. It's a luxury feeling exercise shoe that works as well on the cross trainer as out exploring your urban playground.
Unlike the Lite, the Trio has no separated tongue. Instead, the upper wraps completely around the foot, creating a sock like ankle fit. The soft, breathable mesh has a little springiness to it, which gives toes that extra freedom to stretch and flex. The supple leather footbed means Trio stays fresh after miles of movement, even without socks.
Primus Lite is all about putting your feet in charge. The upper is made of a lightweight, breathable mesh, made in a mixed yarn combination of nylon and polyester, refined to give maximum breathability, whilst still giving the durability you need to train hard. Primus Lite gives you the ultimate barefoot experience in the gym, on a road run or just out and about in the city.
Choose your Primus. Release your feet into the wild. Primus Trio is available very soon. Primus Lux is available now for men and women. PRIMUS LUX MENS PRIMUS LUX WOMENS

Though 14 states have already banned text messaging while driving, the Senate introduced a bill today that would essentially force the remaining states to pass a similar bill—despite there being no good way to enforce such a ban.
Several different teams have done research showing that texting while driving is at least as dangerous as drunk driving and significantly more dangerous than talking on the phone while driving. The most interesting conclusion found that someone texting while driving is about eight times more likely to cause an accident than someone not texting, while a driver with a blood alcohol percentage of 0.08%, the legal limit, is only four times more likely than a sober driver.
The bill would force each state's highway department to institute a ban on texting within two years, or lose 25% of their federal funding each year, which is enough to cripple a highway department. Some weren't thrilled, pointing out that nobody's figured a way to enforce this kind of law, but we'll have to see if the Senate passes the bill to find out if anyone has real objections.

Internet resources for what you need to know on NYC Arts
Five Favorite Sites For Beginners
by Norma Munn
Has New York Become the Art of the Impossible for Young Artists?
(Sept-Oct '00) It is 1990 in a college dorm somewhere in California, and a student about to graduate proudly declares, I'm an artist, so I'm moving to New York City. This sounded reasonable then. New York City was the first home to artists in America, and in the twentieth century it became for artists something closer to the center of the universe. In 1990, according to the 1990 United States Census, there were 123,000 artists working and living here.
Fast forward to today. New York City still beckons. But now it is a different city. Only the na�ve would expect to make a living as an artist; our college graduate knows she will have to find a day job. She also knows she is unlikely to find a place in Manhattan.
That still leaves four very lovely boroughs. But an apartment even in the "outer" boroughs for low-income people is very hard to come by. A move to Williamsburg three or four years ago was possible. Today, the middle class has arrived. Another concern for the young artist, approximately two thirds of whom are women, is that she sees moving to the poorer neighborhoods of this city as a potentially high-risk choice.
So, the question is: will she wind up coming to the city at all?
The results of the 2000 Census are not in yet, but there is some evidence to suggest that she will not.
"In the years that I've been here," says Paul Basista, the executive director of the Graphic Artists Guild, "the core of the New York chapter was originally Manhattan based. Not now. They're in Hoboken, or Williamsburg, or leaving."
Concrete statistical data is difficult to obtain. Artists are not joiners, and there are few guilds, like the one for graphic artists, to keep track of their members.
But one hint of the degree of change comes from the applications for artists fellowships from the New York Foundation for the Arts. From 1992 through 2000, four out of the five boroughs experienced a decrease in the number of artists applying. Manhattan decreased 31 percent, the Bronx 41 percent, Queens 15 percent, and Staten Island 42 percent. The only borough to show an increase was Brooklyn, and it was a tiny two percent, which does nothing to compensate for the losses in the rest of the city. Since a fellowship is a steadily desired goal for any artist, a decrease in applicants of this magnitude is a clear sign that the artists have moved elsewhere.
We are losing the people, in other words, who supply the base for our Off-Broadway theaters, the downtown visual arts scene, the small dance venues. We are losing writers, poets, sculptors, musicians, composers, photographers -- all of whom are also part of the commercial economy, and not just as waiters. Painters do illustrations for books. Writers write book jacket blurbs and edit corporate in house newsletters, or spend years at publishing companies. Photographers and graphic artists are the backbone of the advertising industry's visual output. Musicians abound in the computer industry.
It is hard to argue for housing for the well educated "volunteer poor," as one past city administration referred to artists, when such large numbers of involuntarily poor New Yorkers are homeless or living in sub-standard housing.
But unless the federal, state and city address the housing problems of New York, we can expect the next decade to show a diminution in the one commodity without which the arts cannot survive: talented new artists

Evolution? explores the destructive effect of pollution on the evolution of marine life. The watercolour pencil drawings show different sea creatures taking on characteristics of the surrounding waste. They are paired with diagrammatic pen drawings that demonstrate how these new organisms have formed beneath the surface. While these drawings may seem to depict surreal, fantastical beings I have used scientific imagery to indicate that the message behind them is very real. This highlights the urgent need to preserve our oceans or risk the consequences.

Microsoft's big push with Office 2007 doesn't seem to be the suite itself but rather, SharePoint, which first showed up with Office 2003. SharePoint is a sever technology that allows organizations to share vital data more easily.
In a nutshell, you publish a document to the SharePoint server and authorized users interact with the document. From a user standpoint, I suppose it's a little like having a virtual secretary. Although, installing the system is a huge undertaking. In truth, it's an entire application development platform. Most users will never need it.
With 2003, licensing was expensive. I've heard this is no longer the case, but I haven't verified it. If, however, your organization has been thinking about SharePoint, you might want to look at Microsoft's 30-day evaluation offer available as a free download at:
Since I don't have the experience to help anyone on this subject, I'm going to invite a colleague and friend of mine, Martin Reid to join the discussion. Martin's in the process of overseeing the installation of SharePoint for the Queens University in Belfast, Ireland. Perhaps he'll have something of value to add to the discussion. If I can coax him into the discussion, I'm sure he'd be glad to answer a few questions on the subject.

There is one local movie I am looking forward to seeing: Mamarazzi! It stars Eugene Domingo, Sweet Lapus and others. I am sure this will be a riot of a movie, maybe corny but still uber funny. Eversince I saw Uge in Kimmy Dora, she earned my respect. She knows her craft and her timing is impeccable. She makes me laugh! And then let her play the roles with John Lapus? Perfect! I am going to watch Here Comes the Bride pretty soon, warm-up for Mamarazzi perhaps?
Here is the full trailer of the upcoming movie. I really wish we can see it in the theaters:

READ about Piers Morgan's long career in journalism here.
["Piers Morgan Tonight" will have the latest news and reaction to Moammer Gadhafi's death, live tonight at 9pmET. Intern Morkeh Blay-Tofey looks at the life and death of the leader.]
As celebrations erupt from Moammer Gadhafi's hometown of Sirte, Libya's tyrannical leader is now on his way to the historical archives. From his spring to power in a bloodless coup against King Idris in 1969, Gadhafi initially resembled a Fidel Castro or Che Guevara figure: a young, charismatic 27-year-old who wanted to change the world. The story became much more than that simplistic goal. It was a world far from the cell-phone pictures captured of the 69-year-old breathing his last gasps of air.
From the start, "Moammar Gadhafi portrayed himself as a revolutionary battling Western colonialism, the leader of a united Africa and the 'king of kings' of his oil-rich desert nation."
Gadhafi did not trust very many people and was largely shunned by other global leaders. Still, he stuck to his controversial convictions. Rejected by Arab and African leaders, Gadhafi urged Muslims and Africa revolutionaries to fight Western powers, particularly the United States and Great Britain. He was instrumental in the dealing of arms to the Palestinian Liberation Front (PLO) and the Irish Republican Army (IRA). He hosted young revolutionaries like former Sierra Leonean Revolutionary United Front leader Foday Sankoh and Former Liberian President Charles Taylor for military insurgent training. He supported the 1986 bombing of a West Berlin Nightclub and the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland in 1988. Through 42 Gadhafi's years of rule, scores of Libyan civilians were kidnapped, tortured and killed, and the international community as a whole was very critical of Gadhafi. Many western nations and the United Nations imposed crippling sanctions on Libya.
Through the 90s and the 2000s, Gadhafi appeared to have moderated his behavior and seek better relations with the West piece by piece. He turned over the suspects in the Lockerbie bombing, agreed to eliminate weapons of mass destruction, and offered political analysts and statesmen free trips to Libya for lectures, discussions and personal meetings with Gadhafi among other methods of building his global reputation.
As the Arab Spring uprisings in North Africa and the Middle East came to Libya initially in the form of peaceful demonstration February 14, Gadhafi found himself subject to conflict. After all, he was one never to sleep in the same place consecutive nights and boasted his own personal security force. Even as peace turned violent, Gadhafi remained content in his role as Libya's leader. He vowed never to surrender as the Libyan rebels gained prominence and NATO joined in the uprising. When his immediate family and inner circle left the country, Gadhafi stayed in Libya and fought the opposition.
It is now eight months later, and Libya is now at a point where it was 42 years ago: a new start. As the pictures, videos and reports come in from the Libyan people in celebration, from journalists on the ground, and from leaders all over the world, more will be revealed about the man known to be eccentric by most who came in contact with him. Gadhafi lived by the sword, so it is no surprise that he died by it as well.
Do you feel that now Lybia is free with assistance from the United States of American and it's allies, that the Lybian people will now help to protect the U.S.A. and it's allies from terrorist attacks, or will they go back to hating the U.S.A. and democracy?

Gas line breaks unearth concern about underground digs
Areas under streets crowded with wiring, pipes
The latest gas leak in Kansas City is raising new concerns about digging underground.
People in more than two dozen Brookside-area homes had to evacuate Wednesday night after a worker doing third-party work for Google Fiber hit an AT&T line. A contractor that AT&T hired to fix the damage wound up striking a 5-inch natural gas line.
As crews worked to fix the damage, spray paint marking the various lines looked like a graffiti problem.
"Orange is telecommunications, blue is water, yellow is gas lines," said Brookside resident Bill Jump.
He said despite the inconvenience, the new technology is worth the hassle. He said he won't be surprised if something like this happens again.
"I think you are going to see a lot of things where the old work will run into the new work," Jump said.
As Kansas City celebrates its 160th birthday, all those decades have left a lot to work around under the city streets.
"You are going to have storm sewer, sanitary sewer (lines). You're going to have water, you are going to have electric. You're going to have cable lines and fiber-optic lines," said Sean Demory of the Kansas City Public Works Department.
He said in some places, there are upwards of eight underground lines, leaving workers minimal room for error. While companies mark the lines above ground, mistakes can still happen during the course of digging.
A gas line break from underground digging has been blamed in the fire and explosion at JJ's restaurant in February. Just days later, a gas leak from a Google Fiber dig forced evacuations in a neighborhood south of the Country Club Plaza.
AT&T said work continues to fix its communication line for customers in the area. Residents in the Brookside neighborhood said they think Google Fiber should come within a month, if things go smoother than they did within the last 24 hours.

If you are taking care of a very sick parent or other close relative, this is the book for you. Katy Butler, a journalist, tells the end-stories of both her parents. She lived on the left coast; they, in Connecticut when one day her father, Jeffrey, suffered a severe stroke. Shortly after the stroke, his cardiologist recommended a pacemaker, and her mother and Katy agreed. This was without talking about any of the ramifications while he was well and could understand the consequences. His GP was against it; he had seen too many patients with hearts "outliving" the rest of their bodies.
Jeffrey recovered somewhat but by this time his type A wife has made him surrender both his belt and his wallet. The former Wesleyan history professor was bored silly. During a week visit, Katy arranged for her dad to be picked up by a special van and brought to the pool where he used to swim. Katy made the journey with him two days to show him the ropes, and bought him a new watch that thrilled him. His wife had also hidden his nice silver watch. Katy's dad loved the cheap watch and the sense of independence it gave him. After Katy left, he continued the van/swimming trips for a long time.
The book also covers Katy's extremely difficult relationship with her mother. Did you guess that there were issues? Katy's two brothers took little part in caretaking their Dad because they did not get along with their mother either. She was very controlling about their diet as adults, their haircuts, their clothes, and especially their failures in life.
Only one of the brothers ever returned to Connecticut and that was only after Katy had pressured him repeatedly to help, and basically gave him an ultimatum.
One interesting fact revealed in the book was that both mother and daughter were Buddhists. Katy had become one in California and when her mother visited, Katy took her on a meditation retreat. This served as a strong bond between them.
This book is very honest, both about Katy's impatience with caregiving and her mother's occasional meanness. For one long period, neither spoke to each other. Katy also chronicled how much operations cost Social Security, then she rated their effectiveness. According to Katy, many expensive operations were covered that helped little in improving her dad's everyday life. At the same time, speech therapy and other services that made a huge difference in his daily progress were capped at very low amounts.
Another interesting facet that this science journalist covers is the history of the pacemaker and of other medical procedures. She also talks about the birth of the hospice movement, and how vital that group has been to helping people--families and patients--to have much better end-of-life experiences.
The book is not all doom and gloom. There are some beautiful letters Katy's father wrote to her after his stroke, some remarkably well-written and perceptive notes. As dementia set in, others were still perceptive, but bizarre: with repeated words, lack of sentences, and odd use of words. Katy had to piece together their meaning.
This is the story of how medical care of the elderly affected one family. It also documents how adult children often must parent their parents. What a difficult transition that is.
Another book that emphasizes communication and humane care for the elderly is Dennis McCullough's My Mother, Your Mother: Embracing Slow Medicine—the compassionate approach to caring for your aging loved ones.
