Hi Guys,
For the next book for our TREELEAF BOOK CLUB, following Suzuki Roshi,'s BRANCHING STREAMS, I would like to try an experiment. Plus, the next book is available for reading free online (thanks to Soto Zen Japan), so there is nothing to lose ...
I would like to try Master Dogen's Shobogenzo-Zuimonki, which is rather different from many other Dogen writings in being easy to read, plain and down to earth (the "Shobogenzo-Zuimonki" is very different from the "Shobogenzo")! In fact, it is filled with bits of wisdom, little fortune cookies, short talks on all kinds of subjects. Here is an example of one of the talks, and we will read a few each week ...
http://global.sotozen-net.or.jp/common_ ... 04-09.html
The "experiment" I would like to try is to see if we can apply these short talks, meant mostly for Japanese monks in the 13th century, to our lives in the 21st century, out in the world. As I said, nothing to lose (or, as Dogen might say, "no loss no gain!" )
What do you say?
Gassho, Jundo
Oh, and if you are interested in Dogen, Japanese Comics or both ... check out the often silly "Life of Dogen" comic book, also free on line from the site (Japanese Soto Headquarters).
http://global.sotozen-net.or.jp/comics/ ... tle=dougen
It is based on one of the more imaginative popular tellings of Dogen's "legend" from a few centuries' ago, which has him doing a few "loaves and fishes" miracles here and there. Like, here, summoning Kannon to save his sinking ship through the power of Zazen ...
http://global.sotozen-net.or.jp/comics/ ... n#contents
Hey, what's religion without a few good legends? :wink:

Even with the added hardware that lamp still looks relatively normal. But its behavior is more than remarkable. The lamp interacts with people in an incredibly lifelike way. This is of course inspired by the lamp from Pixar's Luxo Jr. short film. But there's a little bit of most useless machine added just for fun. If you try to shut it off the lamp shade is used to flip that switch on the base back on.
[Shanshan Zhou], [Adam Ben-Dror], and [Joss Doggett] developed the little robot as a class project at the Victoria University of Wellington. It uses six servo motors driven by an Arduino to give the inanimate object the ability to move as if it's alive. There is no light in the lamp as the bulb has been replaced by a webcam. The image is monitored using OpenCV to include face tracking as one of the behaviors. All of the animations are procedural, making use of Processing to convey movement instructions to the Arduino board.
Do not miss seeing the video embedded after the break.

All-Star Game: National 8, American 0: A Giant blowout
Published 12:00 am Tuesday, July 10, 2012
Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Pablo Sandoval and Melky Cabrera turned the All-Star game into a Giant blowout.
Flashing their bright orange spikes and booming bats, the San Francisco sluggers keyed a five-run blitz against Justin Verlander in the first inning that sent the National League to an 8-0 romp over the American League on Tuesday night.
Cabrera homered and won the MVP award, and Giants teammate Matt Cain started a strong pitching performance for the NL in its most-lopsided All-Star victory.
Cain combined with Stephen Strasburg, R.A. Dickey, Aroldis Chapman and the rest of a lights-out staff on a six-hitter.
"San Francisco Giants show," Matt Kemp of the rival Dodgers said during the game.
Ryan Braun, an All-Star again after his drug suspension was overturned, doubled, tripled and made a fine catch in the outfield to help give the NL its first three-game winning streak in two decades.
Chipper Jones singled in his final All-Star at-bat at age 40 as the NL, under retired manager Tony La Russa, once again claimed home-field advantage in the World Series.
Teen sensation Bryce Harper had a shaky All-Star debut. Fellow rookie Mike Trout, only 20, showed off his dynamic skills.
The game was pretty much decided a few moments after it started.
Sandoval hit the first bases-loaded triple in All-Star history off Verlander, who couldn't control his 100 mph heat. Cabrera singled and scored the first run, then hit a two-run homer against Matt Harrison in a three-run fourth.
"I don't get many triples," said the slow-footed Sandoval, known as Kung Fu Panda. "We had some fun with that in the dugout."
Rafael Furcal also hit a triple, making the NL the first league with three in an All-Star game.
As the All-Stars returned to Kansas City for the first time since 1973, La Russa bid a fond farewell to the national stage in the city where he played for his first major league team.
Having retired after managing St. Louis to last year's World Series title, La Russa became just the fourth inactive manager to skipper an All-Star team and improved to 4-2.
The NL boosted its advantage to 43-38-2 and won for just the third time in the 10 years the All-Star game has been used to determine home-field advantage in the World Series.
La Russa's Cardinals benefited from last year's NL All-Star victory, with St. Louis winning Games 6 and 7 at home against Ron Washington's Texas Rangers.
Jones, retiring at the end of the season, also had one last All-Star moment, pinch hitting in the sixth and singling just past second baseman Ian Kinsler and into right field. Jones chuckled as the ball rolled through.
"Whether you're 19 or 40, we are all equals here," Jones said during his pregame speech to the NL.
Harper, at 19 the youngest position player in All-Star history, had a shaky start when he entered in the fifth. The heralded rookie, wearing shiny gold shoes, didn't flash a Gold Glove and lost Mike Napoli's routine fly to left in the lights, allowing it to drop behind him for a single. He then caught Kinsler's bases-loaded flyball to end the inning, earning cheers from the crowd of 40,933 at Kauffman Stadium, spruced up by a $250 million renovation that was completed three years ago.
Harper did draw a walk and tagged up on a long fly, but later got himself hung up in a rundown and tagged out.
Trout, among a record five All-Star rookies, had a nice showing against two very different pitchers. The Angels outfielder singled and stole a base against Dickey's knuckleball, then drew a walk against Chapman and his 101 mph heat.
Cain pitched the 22nd perfect game in big league history last month. He didn't have to be perfect in this one, allowing one hit in two innings for the win.
"For those guys to go out and score five runs in the first inning was definitely a little more relaxing for me," he said. "But I still tried to stay focused."
Cain was followed by 10 relievers, with Jonathan Papelbon getting the last out with a runner on third base.
Verlander had a puzzling outing. In games that count, he hasn't allowed five runs in an inning since April 2010, according to STATS LLC. He became the first All-Star to give up a five-spot since Houston's Roger Clemens in front of his hometown fans in 2004.
"It was pretty difficult for me to get the ball down today," said Verlander, who admitted he approached this differently than a regular-season start.
In a 35-pitch inning, he threw five pitches clocked at 100 mph and another at 101.
"But I had fun," he said. "That's why I don't try to throw 100 in the first inning. But this is for the fans. It doesn't usually work out too well for me."
A crowd clad in red, white and blue T-shirts cheered during pregame introductions for hometown star Billy Butler, who dropped his cap when he tried to wave it. Fans booed the New York Yankees' Robinson Cano, who angered local fans when he bypassed Butler for Monday night's Home Run Derby.
Not since Game 7 of Kansas City's 1985 World Series over the Cardinals had the baseball world descended on the Royals' ballpark, a rare 1970s beauty known for its 322-foot-wide fountain in right and the 105-foot-high scoreboard topped by a crown.
Cabrera, a former Yankee, singled with one out in the first and scored on a double to deep right by Braun, the reigning NL MVP.
Verlander threw six straight balls during consecutive two-out walks to Carlos Beltran and Buster Posey. Wearing shiny gold-and-orange spikes for the occasion, Sandoval sent a drive off the base of the wall in the right-field corner for a 4-0 lead.
He scored when Dan Uggla grounded to the shortstop hole and first baseman Prince Fielder failed to come up with Derek Jeter's one-hop throw, leaving Uggla with an infield hit.
After Furcal tripled to right, pinch-hitter Matt Holliday singled for a 6-0 lead and Cabrera followed with a drive into the left-field bullpen.
Dickey, a first-time All-Star at 37, was given a big ovation. He pitched a one-hit sixth, hitting Paul Konerko on a shoulder with pitch.
Although he has a big league-best 12-1 record, Dickey was denied the start — possibly because of the difficulty of catching his knuckler. He brought along an oversized glove from Mets catcher Josh Thole that was used by Carlos Ruiz, who replaced Posey behind the plate in the sixth.
"I really appreciate the warm reception by the fans in Kansas City. Maybe a lot of them have heard my story," Dickey said.
"It was definitely worth the wait," he said.
NOTES: The NL extended the AL's scoreless streak to 14 innings — its longest drought since 1995-97. … The NL won for just the sixth time in a quarter-century.
The NL had last won three straight in 1994-96. … It was the first All-Star shutout since the NL's 6-0 win in 1996 at Philadelphia.

Kovels Antiques & Collecting: Week of Feb. 18, 2013
It would not be in good taste or even legal to use a picture of the president of the United States as part of a product's package design or advertisement. Most states have laws that prohibit the unapproved use of a person's name or likeness for "commercial benefit."
This was not a concern when George Washington (1732-1799) was president (1789-1797). He was admired by the public, but there were no photographs of him and few portraits. Product packaging back then was usually a plain black and white folded paper packet. In the 19th century, celebrations of Washington's Feb. 22 birthday and the July 4 birthday of the United States made Washington a symbol of the country. A surprising number of things collected today feature Washington's portrait. At least three tobacco companies used "Washington" as a brand name one for pipe tobacco, one for plug tobacco and one for chewing tobacco. Each had a picture of Washington on the package, often beside a flag and other patriotic symbols. Collectors of Washington memorabilia can also find a brand of coffee, a soup company's ads, dishes, calendars and many other products that feature Washington's image. No doubt he would be upset to know he once advertised Acapulco Gold cigarette papers. Other Washington collectibles found today include old posters and signs advertising products like insurance, 1876 U.S. Centennial furniture with wooden inlay picturing Washington, and paper needle cases from 1930s dime stores. Even today Washington is a spokesman for products. In the past year, he has promoted cars, beer, an appliance store and a state lottery.
A colorful tobacco tin for Washington Mixture tobacco, picturing Washington and a flag, auctioned for $303 at a 2012 William Morford auction in upstate New York. Almost all George Washington-related collectibles and antiques are selling well.
Q: My mother said she and my father had the first radio in our area, and people came from all over to listen to it. She thought it was about 1919 or 1920. My dad built the radio, then bought a cabinet to put it in. The cabinet has a label that says "American Beauty Radio Cabinets & Console Speakers, Mfg. by Pierson Co., Rockford, Ill." The radio was disposed of long ago, but we still have the cabinet. It has all its original knobs and is in good condition. I'd like to know when it was built and what it's worth.
A: The first commercial radio broadcast was made when KDKA of Pittsburgh broadcast the results of the presidential race between Warren Harding and James Cox on Nov. 2, 1920. Radio receivers were not widely available at the time. In the 1920s, many people made their own radios by assembling the necessary components and attaching them to a board. By the late 1920s, radios were being manufactured for sale, and furniture companies began making cabinets to put them in. Pierson Furniture Co. was founded in 1927. It became Pierson Radio Co. in 1930 and began making radio cabinets. In 1940 the company switched from manufacturing to retail, and its name was changed to Pierson Factory Showrooms. Your empty cabinet would sell as used furniture and might bring a few hundred dollars.
Q: Have you ever heard of green glass goblets filled with peanut butter and sold by Armour Meat Packing Co.? My brother-in-law worked for Armour in the late 1930s and early 1940s. He would bring home various purchased meats and also peanut butter packed in these goblets. I have three of them and would like to donate them to Armour for its museum, if they have one.
A: Armour was founded in 1867. Although the company's main business was meat packing, it also made bacon, ham and other meat products, as well as canned food, jam, jelly, lard, salad oil, soup, peanut butter and other products. The company used byproducts of the slaughterhouse to make brushes, glue, strings for musical instruments and tennis rackets, sutures and pharmaceuticals. Armour's refrigerated meats, nonrefrigerated products and pharmaceuticals are owned by different companies today. Several companies packed peanut butter in goblets or glasses in the 1940s and '50s. By the 1950s, they were also using decorated glass as packaging. The pressed glass goblets sell for about $5 to $10 each today.
Q: I have a 9 1/2-inch-high oval crystal vase that's heavy and has lots of detail on it. Mother said it was "Imperial Crystal." I found Imperial listed in a book at the library, but it said the company made only pottery. Who made my vase?
A: The name Imperial has been used by several companies. Some made pottery or porcelain and others made glass. The Imperial Glass Corp. produced glass in Bellaire, Ohio, from 1901 to 1984. Glass made by this company was sometimes marked "Imperial," but we have never seen any marked "Imperial Crystal." A company named Imperial Crystal exists today, but it doesn't make vases like yours. It personalizes items made by other companies. Your vase probably was made by the Ohio company.
Tip: Do not store jewelry in silk or wool bags. The fabric may contain sulfur or plastic that can discolor silver and copper.

Foreclosure is when the mortgage loan doesn't get paid back and the bank begins the process to take ownership of the property to recoup its losses. If you find yourself entering the foreclosure process, you might wonder if there is anything … Continued

The island of Sylt: 40 kilometres of sandy beaches to the west, a broad expanse of the Wadden Sea to the east and vibrant spa resorts such as Westerland and Wenningstedt that are superb for health and wellness. The 'Queen of the North Sea' is part of the Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park and at 99 square kilometres is the fourth-largest island in Germany. Despite their island location, Sylt and its popular holiday resorts of Morsum, Keitum, Rantum, Hörnum, Kampen and List remain connected to the mainland via the Hindenburg causeway.
Sylt has made a name for itself as a venue for top sporting events thanks to the annual Windsurf World Cup. And the water sports conditions are great for amateurs too! Swimmers on Sylt's western coast find themselves sharing the sea with sailors, kiteboarders and surfers. Back on dry land, golf courses boasting superb views over the North Sea present a different challenge altogether. Vast swathes of the island's natural beauty are safeguarded by law, with one seventh of its total area covered by conservation zones and one third by nature reserves. This means that around half the island is under some kind of protection. What's more, the surrounding Wadden Sea became a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site in 2009.
Sylt has a fun and vibrant nightlife. Not only is there plenty of entertainment for night owls, but lovers of food and drink will also find themselves spoilt for choice. The island's eateries range from Michelin-starred restaurants to beach-side bistros, and the quality of the cuisine with its focus on locally sourced produce is an open secret. That's no surprise: Sylt's gourmet restaurants regularly receive rave reviews from international connoisseurs.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Anglers can win up to $10,000 next month if they reel one of the unwanted burbot fish in the Flaming Gorge Reservoir on the Utah-Wyoming border.
The third-annual "Burbot Bash Fishing Derby" is scheduled for Feb. 1-3. It is hosted by wildlife agencies in Utah and Wyoming, several chambers of commerce and the U.S. Forest Service.
Fisherman can win $1,000, $2,500 or $10,000 by catching one of 25 burbots that will be tagged. The prize pot is about $20,000.
The burbot was illegally introduced into the reservoir in 2006, said Ryan Mosley of the Utah Division of Wildlife.
"They have just exploded in abundance," Mosley said.
The burbot, which usually weigh 6-8 pounds, harm other sport fish that are native to the reservoir such as the small mouth bass, Mosley said. The burbot compete with the bass for their main source of food and sometimes burbot eat small mouth bass.
"They are kind of getting it from two different ends," said Mosley of the small mouth bass.
The burbot are native to Wyoming but on the eastern side of the Continental Divide. Officials believe a fisherman transported one to a river that drains into the Flaming Gorge Reservoir. It might have been a fisherman who wanted to reel them in closer to home, said Mosley, who said the burbot are sought after fish that are very tasty.
Wildlife officials opted to lean on fisherman to help remove the fish rather than other removal techniques that can be costly, time-consuming and labor intensive, Mosley said. The fishing competition is a way to provide a family-friendly recreational event while also reducing the burbot population.
Officials are expecting about 400 people in the competition. Anglers can also win cash prizes for most catching the most burbot or reeling in the biggest burbot. Burbots are about 35 inches long.
The lucky fishermen who catch one of the 25 fish with prize tags won't know how much they've won until they go to the closing ceremony Feb. 3 at the rodeo grounds in Manila, Utah.
The Flaming Gorge Reservoir spans across the Wyoming-Utah border, south of Rock Springs, Wyo.

Class Central Tips
Most people know that electrically active cells in nerves, in the heart and in the brain generate electrical currents, and that somehow these result in measurements we all have heard about, such as the electrocardiogram. But how? That is, what is it that happens within the electrically active tissue that leads to the creation of currents and voltages in their surroundings that reflect the excitation sequences timing, and condition of the underlying tissue. This course explores that topic. Rather than being a primer on how to interpret waveforms of any kind in terms of normality or disease, the goal here is to provide insight into how the mechanism of origin actually works, and to do so with simple examples that are readily pictured with simple sketches and one's imagination, and then moving forward into comparison with experiments and finding outcomes quantitatively.

Why Jesus?:Rediscovering His Truth in an Age of Mass Marketed Spirituality
Available for Special Order
The author believes that over the past forty years movements like New Age spirituality and society's obsession with human potential have combined like a perfect storm to redefine for popular culture what has been for centuries the classic biblical definition of the person, work, and teaching of Jesus Christ. In Why Jesus?, Ravi Zacharias looks at the impact of this storm by discussing the 60s-70s Age of Aquarius, actor Shirley MacLaine's book and TV series Out On a Limb, author James Redfield (The Celestine Prophecy), Rhonda Byrne (The Secret), Dan Brown (The Da Vinci Code), and other books by Eckart Tolle, Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, the Dali Lama, and Marianne Williamson. Special attention will be given to the influence of Oprah Winfrey's media platform in reshaping society by introducing and promoting certain books and authors. Major new age and human potential tenets will be discussed like: the belief that we are all gods and have to discover our divinity; Jesus was only a good teacher; Christianity is but one among many ways to eternal life; reincarnation is real; Jesus was married; truth is relative; there is no sin; and perfection is possible. The truth of and the arguments for the bodily resurrection of Jesus will be presented as the most important argument for the exclusive claims about Jesus and Christianity.

Advancestox Review
Trading can be a great way to make some extra money. Unfortunately, it can also be a means of losing your savings if you aren't careful. This is not meant to deter you–in many cases, trading is safe and reliable but only if you have the right broker. This means avoiding flashy phrases and hollow promises of outsized returns and sticking with brokers that have a solid reputation. This is why it is important to find out more about Advancestox before opening an account and sending money or sending any documents. Read our Advancestox review before sending your hard-earned cash.
Advancestox Review
Our trading-scam.com experts have investigated Advancestox and have found some reasons to pause and look carefully before signing up. trading-scam.com specializes in investigating brokers, evaluating them, and guiding our clients towards the best choices. If you have lost money with Advancestox consult with our experts and we can do a full investigation and can help you put together a claim that will make it easier to retrieve your funds.
Advancestox Complaints
Depending on the amount of experience people have with brokers, it may be easy to tell what is legitimate and off-base before the problem starts. However, most of our clients were not aware their broker was problematic before they had already signed up. If Advancestox shows any of these signs, either avoid them entirely or look very carefully before proceeding:
These are a few of the warning signs of a problematic broker. Below, we will discuss red flags. If Advancestox exhibits any of these features, do not proceed without consulting an expert at trading-scam.com
Advancestox Red Flags: Scam Broker
Advancestox regulation: None
It is never a good idea to work with an unregulated broker. This is because there is no excuse for a broker not to have at least some kind of license. The lowest-tier regulators have minimal requirements and oversight, and it is not a good idea to sign up with a broker with a low-tier license. However, even in these cases, the broker at least felt it was important to obtain a license. Those with no license at all want to get away with things without a regulator watching them.
It is also not advisable to work with a broker that has a license from a regulator that is not in the top two tiers. The lower-grade regulator does not provide much scrutiny concerning those they license and do not engage in oversight or deal with consumer complaints efficiently. Therefore, it can be almost as bad as working with a broker with no license. Look at Advancestox's license and ensure it is up-to-date and from a reliable regulator. If you have any questions about which regulators are the most trustworthy, consult with our experts.
Advancestox Fees: Hidden and Predatory
If Advancestox suddenly reveals there are fees for withdrawals when this wasn't written anywhere on the website or in the contract, you can be suspicious of them. If there is transparency about fees, spreads, and commissions, you may notice they are high compared to the industry standard. To find out what the acceptable range is for fees, commissions, and spreads, you can do some research on the web or talk to our experts.
Advancestox Communication: Poor & Pushy
A problematic broker may talk too much or not enough or in the wrong way. Some brokers will work hard to woo people at first only to ignore them and not answer their emails once they sign up. This is to discourage them from wanting to withdraw their money if they are scam brokers.
Don't assume Advancestox is legit just because they had a friendly chatbot to greet you when you first visited the site or because the broker gave you plenty of attention in the first weeks. You might have even apparently made money on some trades, but see what happens when you try to withdraw the money.
Some less than honest brokers will be pushy with clients and urge them to make certain trades. All brokers are required by law to reveal their own holdings. This prevents a pump and dump operation in which the broker will encourage his or her clients to buy an asset the broker holds until the price rises. Then the broker will sell their huge position and drive the price down, devaluating the holdings of their clients. This pump and dump strategy is illegal and Fund Recovery Experts are well-versed in filing claims in such cases.
Advancestox withdrawals: Can't Withdraw Funds
The point at which many of our clients realize they are dealing with a scam broker is when they request to withdraw funds and the broker either won't allow them or will make it difficult. They may employ the following tactics:
If Advancestox is doing any of these things to avoid releasing your funds, contact our experts today.

Are You Having Problems with Advancestox? Report your complaint and get your money back
After examining Advancestox, we have found some reasons to tread carefully.

We advise clients and can help them file a persuasive claim against scam brokers. With investigative reports and guidance, we can help you on the way to retrieving your funds.

iPhoto for iPad and iPhone released for $4.99
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Photography, iPad Apps, New Apps, Apple, $4.99,
At yesterday's iPad event, Apple unveiled the final piece of the puzzle as it pertains to bringing the full iLife suite to iOS with the release of iPhoto for iPad and iPhone. Similar to GarageBand and iMovie, iPhoto is available now as a universal app for $5. So, what's the draw? Well, iPhoto lets you use your iOS device's multi-touch display to perform basic photo editing function like simple one-tap white balance, red-eye removal, and exposure adjustments. You can also crop and straighten images, and remove blemishes with ease.
You can pull up your photos that are stored on your device, including the camera roll and Photo Stream, and compare images side-by-side. Edits are non-destructive as they save a copy rather than editing the original. You can process images that are up to 19 megapixels, which should be fine for the vast majority of people out there, but for those of you shooting with a Canon 5D Mark II in RAW format, you may wanna look elsewhere for your photo processing software--but in that scenario, why would you be using an iPad for that function anyway?
You've got a bunch of sharing options, including Twitter, Facebook, and Flickr. You can also export photos to your Camera Roll and to iTunes and email them to contacts. One new feature is Journal, where you can select a group of photos that iPhoto then puts together in a unique gallery with dates, weather information, maps, and more. It's like making a diary out of photos relating to an event or range of dates.
For $5, you can't go wrong with iPhoto for iOS. You can get it now on the App Store.

Microsoft OneNote arrives on the iPad
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Productivity, iPad Apps, New Apps, Free Apps,
Microsoft on Monday released a version of its OneNote for the iPad.
"Since the launch of OneNote for iPhone nearly a year ago, a recurring request from our customers has been for a version that can be used more easily on the iPad's larger screen," Microsoft said in a blog post. "We're happy to announce that today's new release of OneNote for iOS devices includes a version that's tailored for the iPad."
OneNote is Microsoft's note-taking and sharing software. Like other popular note-taking apps, such as Evernote, Awesome Note, and Google Notebook, OneNote Mobile gives users the ability to jot down, amend, and organize their notes on the go.
OneNote notebooks are stored via Microsoft SkyDrive. "Your own cloud-based SkyDrive account lets you easily sync all of your notebooks across all of your devices, so they're always up-to-date and accessible from virtually anywhere—on your iPhone, your iPad, your Web browser, or your computer," Microsoft said today.

Facebook for iPad finally available
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Social Networking, iPad Apps, Free Apps,
It seemed like a no-brainer for Facebook to drop an iPad app back when the original iPad launched in early 2010, but it's taken the company a year-and-a-half to finally get things in order. The wait is now over, and today you can download the official Facebook iPad app. Within the app you can browse photos at full screen, watch videos (with AirPlay integration!), and access things like the news feed, messages, Groups, chat, and more.
If you aren't seeing it in the App Store yet, it should be live shortly.

Bing launches magazine-like iPad app
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Reference, iPad Apps, New Apps, Free Apps,
Microsoft knows the importance of the mobile audience, even when it means taking advantage of a competitor's mobile platform—in this case, Apple's. Since late 2009, iPhone users have been able to download a Bing app that offers voice search, local shopping, scrolling image search, maps and directions. Now iPad owners get a Bing app that adds a new trends feature, which lets them explore the trending search topics of the week.
The new app, which is available in the iTunes App Store starting today, sports a homepage featuring the trademark (and often stunning) Bing photo of the day, along with tiles showing local weather, news, maps, movies, and trends. The interface makes a lot of use of the swipe touch gesture, especially in image search. A dropdown menu offers all these choices plus Images, Videos, Shopping and History—that is, your search history, not the school topic.
Trends shows tiled images for the week's major current events. It can almost be thought of as a lightweight replacement for an app like The Daily or Flipboard. Touching one of its images opens a search page showing news and images about the topic, like MLB Opening Day. Some topics get a slicker treatment rather than just a Bing search results page: touching through an entry about "30 Rock's" Tina Fey labled "Ms. Bossypants" displayed a grid of stories that somewhat resembled the New York Times' Web site layout. After reading a result page, you can swipe left-to-right to get back to the trends page.

Today I Die Again for iPhone available free today only
Posted by Drea Avellan Categories: Games, App Updates, iPad Apps, Sales, Free Apps,
In conjunction with Free App A Day (FAAD), Atakamalabs has released the popular IndieCade Jury Award winning title rewrite, Today I Die Again by Daniel Benmergui, completely free. Today I Die Again is a thought provoking adventure using words as means to action.
The scene opens underwater with the body of a dead woman floating lifeless in the dark. The rock tied around her waist suggests that her demise was no accident. A poem floats above her: "hopeless world / full of shadows / today I die"
Players must use the floating glowing words or reveal hidden ones to help you transform the ever-present poem in order to progress through the game. All along the way you battle the dark creatures from the depths in effort to break through to the surface. The oddly creative music score sets the mood perfectly as you are immersed deeper into this pixelated world. Today I Die Again is truly a unique game unlike any other, exploring new ways to express emotions through a video game experience.
Today I Die Again is available free on the iTunes store for iPhone and iPod Touch.

Last month a little gem popped unnoticed on the App Store named Cover Orange. Following a recent promotion giving away the game for free, it has now reached the top 10 list on iTunes. The premise is for you to move from level to level, protecting oranges from acid rain. The first thing you notice is how similar this one is to Angry Birds, from the way the levels are made, to the physics properties that the gameplay relies on. In this case, instead of throwing birds offensively, you have to protect your oranges from the nasty clouds and their acid rain.
Both the graphics and sounds are amazing, with the oranges themselves thanking you for saving them. The animations are excellent, with everything flowing nicely from one sequence to the next. Solving physics puzzles is the meat of the game, and you get access to various objects to try and cover your oranges with, like barrels and wheels, by interacting with the other items on the level. High scores are linked to the Game Center, but it's just a lot of fun solving each level. The controls are extremely simple, you simply grab objects and let them drop where you want, and watch how they interact with the level.
The game costs $0.99 and is available for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. It comes with 120 levels, 40 of them being new as of the latest update. The video trailer shows the game well, and at this price, it really is a must have.

LCMM App (Low Carbon Mobility Management): Helps to improve individual, environmental-sensitive driving style
LCMM (Low Carbon Mobility Management) is a complete system developed for managing logistics fleets. DHL and DB Schenker,
for example, use the patented system in China and Europe and have reduced harmful emissions by an average of 20 percent (saving of 468 kg CO2 per HGV within one month). Fuel costs also went down by as much as 15 percent. This solution starts by analyzing
individual driver behavior. The app helps drivers to develop a more environmentally focused driving style. A cloud backend with corresponding dashboards helps fleet operators to manage their vehicle fleets as efficiently as possible (including up-to-date positioning of each vehicle).
In 11/2020, LCMM has been awarded with the "#GreenMagenta" label of Deutsche Telekom.
Achieving more together: international collaboration
How can international corporations put sustainability strategies into practice across borders? Deutsche Telekom employs CR managers for the relevant business segments and national companies to reach this goal. They use the CR Manager Network to regularly share best practices and discuss new challenges, thereby jointly promoting essential CR issues. The central Group Corporate Responsibility (GCR) department is responsible for managing the network. In the year 2021, the CR Manager Network encompassed more than 100 CR Manager from 34 subsidiaries based in 20 countries across the globe.
The participants are regularly invited to virtual meetings and capacity building calls by Group Corporate Responsibility. In 2021, content and likely implications of the EU Green Deal were discussed as well as progress within the #GreenMagenta programs and the new strategic stream "Positive impact on society" defined by the EU segment. Furthermore, the network members could gain insights into issues like Impact measurement and the future of a greener mobility.
"IT remarketing" project
Our "IT remarketing" project involves reconditioning our used IT hardware to make it suitable for further use. We continue to maintain our partnership with "AfB gemeinnützige GmbH", which offers job opportunities to people with disabilities. Within the scope of this partnership, we are giving some of our used IT hardware (e.g. laptops) to the organization for reconditioning and reselling. This will support us to save resources and to create jobs for people with disabilities as well as extend the life cycle of our used hardware.

On several occasions, I have noticed these shrubs with long green stalks with small purplish flowers on them. It was only during this trip that I realised they are actually lavenders. I can't tell which species it belongs to...but the flowers do look like those common lavenders or also known as the English lavenders.
I was given a packet of dried lavenders, among several other goodies, from my friend VB. It was really very kind and thoughtful of her as I vaguely remembered I have mentioned that these are not easily available here. At least for me, I would have to make a special trip just to get them.
It was almost a year ago since I first saw Mandy's Lavender Sables. Even though I have received the dried lavenders a few months back, I only managed to use them to make a batch of cookies this week.
I guess I didn't measure the amount of flour correctly...the cookie dough was rather sticky and wet. I managed to shape it into logs and left them to chill over night. When I was ready to bake them, I simply couldn't slice the dough into nice rounds...it kept tearing apart the minute I lift up the knife. It got worst when the dough slowly came back to room temperature. After struggling for a while, I gave up and gathered the messy doughs into a round disc...roll it out between two sheets of baking paper and pop it into the freezer. Half an hour later, I took out the dough and used a cutter to stamp out small heart-shaped cookie doughs. Even then, I had to work very fast, as the dough gets softer and softer as the clock ticks away.
These sables or French butter cookies turned out to be very flavoursome...very buttery with a hint of lemon and lavender. The recipe yields rather delicate and crumbly cookies that almost melts in your mouth. The fragrance from the lavender was not overpowering, at least my fear of biting into something that reminds me of shampoo or soap was proved to be unfounded. My boys, especially the younger one, love the cookies. Since this is the first time I have tasted lavender, I have yet to acquire the taste for it. I don't dislike it, neither have I fallen in love with it. Nevertheless, I couldn't resist treating myself with at least two cookies each time I pass by the kitchen counter :)
7 ounces (14 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
3/4 cup icing sugar
1 egg yolk
pinch of salt
1 tablespoon dried lavender
zest from one lemon
1.5 cups & 1.5 tablespoons plain flour
3 tablespoons cornstarch
- Sift flour and cornstarch, set aside.
- With an electric mixer, beat butter on medium speed until smooth, add icing sugar and beat until well blended.
- Beat in the egg yolk, followed by salt, dried lavender and lemon zest.
- Add the flour mixture and blend with a spatula. Mix just until flour is incorporated.
- Gather dough to form a ball, divide in half and wrap each piece in plastic wrap. Chill dough for 30 minutes in refrigerator.
- Form each piece of dough into a log that is about 1 to 1 1/4" in diameter. Wrap logs in plastic wrap and chill dough for at least 2 hours in refrigerator or leave overnite. (Dough logs can be wrapped airtight and kept refrigerated for up to 3 days or stored in freezer for up to 1 month.)
- When ready to bake, preheat oven to 170 degC. Once the oven is ready, slice the log into 1/4" thick and place on a lined baking sheet with 1/2" interval.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the cookies are set but not brown. Transfer to wire rack and let cool completely.

text: Energy | 29. December 2010 | posted by Manfred Gottwald 'The Future of Energy' Year of Science: A different question every week, 1 answer and 150 comments During 'The Future of Energy' Year of Science, DLR prepared one question each week on the topic of energy, answered by the science journalist, Jan Oliver Löfken. Users were invited to post their questions and comments on the blog, and we responded as they came in – we received a total of 150 contributions. Read 51 posts on our Energy Blog and see how researchers want to safeguard our energy supply in the future and what policies are being put in place for this in the world of politics. We wanted to keep the range of topics as broad as possible: from the EU's energy strategy to peculiar research projects like a t-shirt that became a power station. The aim this year was to examine energy topics in different ways, keeping it exciting, insightful and accessible to all. Thank you to all the readers for your interest. You'll still be able to access the facts collected over the year on DLR's energy blog, available in English and German. Future investment is the key to energy research Energy researchers and politicians used the 'the Future of Energy' Year of Science to collect information and discuss this future task, arguably the most important one we face today. Both professional groups have been called upon as follows: energy researchers must develop the vision they believe in and bring together countless pieces of the puzzle to made concrete, feasible plans from that vision. With their decisions and funding, politicians make the key provisions: which projects and practical solutions are to go ahead based on this vision, and in what timeframe. 2010 was a busy year, the German Federal Government passed its energy policy, the EU presented its energy strategy and next spring, the German Federal Government will announce its sixth energy research programme. This will help politicians set out provisions for a safer and more ecofriendly energy supply in the future. Last visual check: DLR employee Miriam Ebert checks that the ceramic fibre protection around the radiation detector is sealed well. The Solhyco testing power station is built on top of the 30-meter tall solar tower on the Plataforma Solar de Almería in southern Spain. Image: DLR. The DESERTEC project is an example of how visions take shape. Based on a study commissioned in 2003 by the Club of Rome and carried out by DLR scientists, it is a plan to use solar-thermal power plants in the desert to create electricity and transfer it to consumer hubs. It's essentially a visionary idea considering that the desert regions have neither the power plants nor the power networks required. And yet the scientists were able to convince the industry that the project is possible given the level of today's technology. Renewable energy from the desert in North Africa, the Middle East and Europe would be a sustainable, win-win situation for North Africa and Europe. With the founding of the DESERTEC Industrial Initiative (Dii) in 2009, the economy was also convinced, and at the end of 2010, plans for solar-thermal power plants and a cross-regional power network are already in full swing. Despite many people showing the will to save energy, our constant hunger for energy means that there is a need to act. From a global viewpoint, the population is rising, as are per-capita energy consumption rates, making it all the more important for energy researchers and politicians to set themselves these challenges and to look for solutions. Energy researchers will provide the impetus for this in this new year. Read more about 'the Future of Energy Year of Science'

The grass has grown in around a notable project at the northwest corner of campus, near Fairfax Avenue: The Public Fruit Theater, Los Angeles, 2010, designed and built by La Loma Development. La Loma collaborated with artist collective Fallen Fruit to build the theater as part of our year-long investigation EATLACMA, which concluded this past November. The Public Fruit Theater remains, as what landscape architect Marco Barrantes calls "a monument to the fruit tree."
The fruit tree is surrounded by a garden wall composed of broken concrete from the sidewalks and driveways that paved over Southern California orchards beginning around 100 years ago. Marco and his partner, Michelle Matthews, often design with broken concrete. "Recycled concrete is perhaps the most local, sustainable, renewable resource at our disposal," says Marco. "Often it goes into landfill or piles up at recycling facilities." Instead, La Loma used different forms of recycled concrete for the retaining wall, the base, and for the drainage gravel.
They used a technique, called drystack terracing, to build the garden wall without mortar—a technique that dates back thousands of years. "Drystack terraces were used throughout the Andes, including at at Machu Pichu," says Marco, who is from Peru, but grew up in Southern California. "Drystacking results in a malleable, adaptable wall. Instead of cracking or settling, it will just adjust to the landscape. If you're going to do landscaping in the hills, or even in flat areas, like LACMA, it's a great landscape material—there's nothing better." The garden is zero maintenance, due to terraforming and the use of gravel base and backing to prevent water-logged soil and roots from pressing up against the garden wall. "You should be able to enjoy a garden without having to mow or use a leaf blower," says Marco.
Michelle says the duo takes inspiration from permaculture and land art. "There are connections between land art, or earth works, the landscape and our gardens at home," says Michelle. "If done right, there can be beauty in retaining walls. Landscape art can be an integral and aesthetic part of the urban fabric."
This time-lapse video shows the project coming together over the course of ten days. Each piece of broken concrete is hand-picked and chiseled and fit together like a puzzle. John Bowsher, director of special installations at LACMA, helped Marco and Michelle navigate that process in order to realize their vision. "Because people can sit on it, climb on it, and because we called it an amphitheater, the project was subject to some special requirements," Marco explains.
"While we typically prefer to remove lawns in Southern California, we were delighted to see the monument enveloped by a field of green" says Michelle. "There is a busy bus stop nearby, but the fruit theater is this quiet, meditative place. I hope the public will use it and see it as a place of relaxation and an opportunity to reflect upon our local landscape and how we can make our city more enjoyable, healthy and beautiful through sustainable means."

Side story to follow: Who will fill the 5th rotation spot? Brittany Ghiroli reports that it is most likely Bergesen, and all signs point to that. MacPhail said to the media that nothing could be announced since a corresponding move would have to be made the day of game for that pitcher's first start.
With only 1 ER in 25 IP this year so far, Jake Arrieta has looked stellar for AAA Norfolk. The main issue with bringing him up is that the team does not want to go off the path of his planned out development. The O's did bring up Tillman quite early last year, so I see no reason why they wouldn't surprise us with another move like that this year. Bergesen, on the other hand, seems to be the guy they want up there now. It is not anything against Arietta, it is just that the team wants both guys to eventually be in the rotation, and since Bergesen is the guy who is already set in a rotation spot in the future, they want him to be able to fill his role as soon as possible. Arrieta, on the other hand, could use another month or two or brilliant starts at the minor league level in order to fully prepare him for battling the AL East, something with Bergesen already has experience with and would probably be the better option for instead of putting in the rookie for his first start against the Red Sox clutch lineup.
Bergesen did throw 7 innings of 2 hit ball for Norfolk this past Sunday, which was a positive start for him considering the way he was blown off his rocker in his first 3 starts for the O's this year.
Other options include giving the ball to Berken or Hendrickson for the one or two time start, but I think the O's would rather leave them in the bullpen where they have been fantastic and let the Bergesen issues work themselves out. We will see by this weekend what Mr. MacPhail decides to do!

So said Thomas Friedman on "Meet the Press" today. And the funniest part of him saying that wasn't the horrible vision of America as a dictatorship.... though it must be hilarious to think of America as a dictatorship, because famous funnyman Woody Allen said it too: "It would be good… if [President Obama] could be dictator for a few years because he could do a lot of good things quickly." Nor was it the fact that he said it and at the same time tried to deny that he was saying it with all that "I don't want to be China for a second, OK" business.
No, the funniest part was that he said it right after he deplored the way the political center has been "decimated" in part by the "an Internet where I can create a digital lynch mob against you from the left or right if I don't like where you're going." He's reminding us Internet folk of our lynch-mob powers and then throws us the rope to hang him with that wish that "we could just be China for a day." Come on, everybody, let's destroy Thomas Friedman for saying he knows all the "right solutions" and wishes — or would wish if he could get away with it — that we could have a dictatorship to get it done.
A love of autocracy often lurks beneath the liberal veneer. There's this idea that the right answers are known and the people are just too deluded and distorted to see what they are and to vote for them. And Friedman openly deplores the internet, which decimates moderation because there are people like me who who persecute elite truthbearers like him. Ooh! It's a lynch mob. Ha. Sorry. I don't want the rope. I just want to laugh at you.
It's late now. Let me sign off with a crazy old song that supposed to be beautiful but that's really dreadful, the way Friedman's lament is dreadful:
If I ruled the world, every man would be as free as a bird,Nighty-night.
Every voice would be a voice to be heard
Take my word we would treasure each day that occurred
My world would be a beautiful place
Where we would weave such wonderful dreams
My world would wear a smile on its face
Like the man in the moon has when the moon beams
If I ruled the world every man would say the world was his friend
There'd be happiness that no man could end
No my friend, not if I ruled the world
Every head would be held up high
There'd be sunshine in everyone's sky
If the day ever dawned when I ruled the world

I decided to pick 3 winners, since there were so many hopeful entrants!
Congratulations to Ricki, lao80, and Bex!
I remember reading about these vegan peppermint candies years ago on Jess' blog... and being filled with desire. In my pregan days (that's "pre-vegan" folks), Junior Mints and York Peppermint Patties were some of my all-time favorite candies, but their filling is made with egg white. Ritter Sport candy bars aren't too hard to find, and yet - in a cruel twist of fate - the peppermint ones are nearly impossible to track down. For years, every time I found a store carrying Ritter Sports, I'd optimistically inspect the racks, hoping to find peppermint... only to be disappointed.
And then, finally! Imagine my delight when I found some at a funky little store far off the beaten path. I bought a couple, and devoured them with great joy. These Ritter Sports seriously hit the spot for me... after so many years. The dark chocolate is smooth and flavorful, and the filling is creamy but substantive with a wonderful sweet & minty flavor. It's totally wonderful. So, I went rushing back to this funky little store to get more - and they were all gone! Almost 2 months later, they've finally got another shipment in, and I've got a bunch to last me for a long while. My fear of going without has led me toward hoarding behavior!
In this time of abundance, I am feeling generous, so I am going to send one to a lucky vegan out there - chosen at random from the comments for this post. Just leave me a comment expressing your love for all things chocolate & peppermint... and in a few days I'll select a winner & get your address and there will be some Ritter Sport love on its way to your belly!
