Hand picked viognier grapes were whole-bunch pressed directly to barrels, and the juice handled with passive oxidation. The wine was fermented in mostly mature French oak barriques, by a population of naturally occurring and differing species of yeast indigenous to the environment of the vineyard. In these "wild" or "feral" ferments each yeast played a small and subtly different part in the development of the wine, creating layers of richness, complexity, fine textures and flavours. After fermentation the wine was aged on lees with regular batonage for ten months to further heighten the palate weight and increase the complexity and flavour generosity. At blending only the finest barrels were chosen. The 2006 season led to opulent and aromatic aromas and flavours being present in this wine, with many layers of complexity and lusciousness. On the nose the aroma is intense with white peaches, apricots and ginger. The palate is lifted with ginger spice, layered mineral texture and complex apricots along with white stone fruit flavours. The trademark viognier lusciousness of the palate is clearly evident in this wine which is unctuous and complex while at the same time showing restraint that should ensure good cellaring for at least 3-4 years. This is at its best with food, and complements a wide range of flavours.

As the U.N. climate change meetings meander on in Durban, South Africa, with little sign of major breakthrough -- and soon after news that the last year saw the largest rise in carbon emissions in history -- it is a good time to think about how to deal with some of the impacts of a global warming that appear increasingly inevitable. One big impact involves water -- both that there's soon going to be too much of the salty stuff subsuming low lying areas as the ice caps melt, and too little elsewhere. A warmer world will be wetter overall, but current models predict that climate change will make some dry parts of the planet -- Northern Africa, for one -- even drier. Many of the places are already the very regions suffering from the greatest shortages. Even without climate change, global patterns of water usage are unsustainable, but global warming is a big reason to start using the stuff with greater care. The simplest way to encourage that? Make people pay for it.
Water is essential stuff, and sometimes we're willing to price it accordingly. How else to explain why U.S. consumers spend $7 billion on bottled water a year when they can't tell the difference with what comes out of the tap in taste tests -- and despite the fact it often costs more than three times as much per gallon than gas. But at other times we demand, like air, that it should be free -- or at least significantly subsidized. Farmers in California alone received about $236 million per year in effective subsidies from access to cheap water in the 1990s, for example. But California is far from the worst example of subsidizing unsustainable water use worldwide. And unless we start charging consumers what it costs to deliver piped water, many parts of the planet are simply going to run out -- even absent the impacts of climate change. Meanwhile, the world's poor consumers, mostly unconnected to piped delivery, will continue to pay considerably more for their water than the connected rich -- adding inequity to unsustainability as a cost of mispricing the stuff.
One-third of the world's population already faces water shortages. A recent McKinsey report estimates that based on current trends, by 2030, a third of the world will live in areas where the gap between water needs and accessible, reliable supply is greater than 50 percent -- so they'll have to be planting and drinking on borrowed time by that point. Agriculture is the big problem -- irrigation of cropland is responsible for 71 percent of freshwater needs worldwide, and accounts for over 93 percent of the freshwater we take out of rivers, lakes, and the ground and cannot then clean and re-use, according to the World Bank. By 2030, without efficiency improvements, global water requirements will climb from 4,500 cubic kilometers (about the volume of Lake Michigan) to 6,900 cubic kilometers each year -- largely thanks to the growing demand for food. That is some 40 percent above current accessible, reliable supply.
The picture is not that grim, however. For a start, we have seen a 1 percent improvement in efficiency in water use in agriculture per year in the period 1990-2004, alongside irrigation network growth that has occurred at a similar pace. If these trends continue, between them, these may address 40 percent of the gap between supply and demand in 2030, according to McKinsey.
Second, there are a number of methods to dramatically, and very cheaply, increase water efficiency at a considerably more aggressive rate than 1 percent a year. No-till farming, irrigation scheduling, reduced over-irrigation, and irrigated drainage all can have a dramatic impact. And a number of water-saving investments are very cheap -- including proper maintenance and repair as well as the use of drip irrigation. McKinsey estimates the total global cost to close the 2030 water gap to be $50-$60 billion a year -- around 0.06 percent of the world's predicted gross domestic product that year.

Ottoman Mining, Metal Working and Fire-Arms Technology in South East Europe (15th-17th centuries)
Professor H.H. Günhan Danisman*
This short article is taken from the full article (by Prof. H.H. Günhan Danisman) which is available here as 11 page PDF file.
The article is originally a talk presented at the international conference 1001 Inventions: Discover the Muslim Heritage in our World held at the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester on the 8th of March 2006, on the occasion of the launch of the exhibition 1001 inventions. The conference proceedings are edited by Dr. Salim Ayduz and Dr. Saleema Kauser.
Increasing archaeological evidence indicates that Anatolia had abundance of metal ores, paticularly copper oxides and iron oxides, which have been mined and utilized as metals since circa 9,000 BCE; earlier than any other region in the Near East. Knowledge of metal working had diffused from Anatolia to neighbouring regions, such as the Balkans, as well as the Eastern and the Central Europe during Bronze and Iron Ages.
Recent research carried out in the northwest region of the Turkish Thrace at the site of Demirköy-Samakocuk has indicated that the Ottoman Turks, whose Central Asian ancestors are believed to have been the intermediaries for transfer of gunpowder from China to the West, have realized a major breakthrough in fire-arms technology from the beginning of 15th century onwards. The development of their skill in casting huge bronze cannons has been instrumental in the capture of Constantinople by the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II in 1453.
The industrial archaeology project that was started at the site of Demirköy-Samakocuk under the auspices of the Society for the Turkish History of Science and the direction of the Museum Directorate at Kikrlareli, as well as the participation of experts from six Turkish universities and the Metallurgy Museum at Bochum, Germany, has indicated a hither to the unexpected capacity by the Ottoman administration for large scale industrial iron production.
Figure 2. Excavations at the fortified settlement.
As one of the three major metal production centres in the Balkans Region, which are well documented in the Ottoman archives, Demirköy-Samakocuk iron foundry has been relatively well preserved due to its inaccessibility and its thick forest coverage. The last four seasons of excavations at this site have revealed residential buildings, remains of high furnaces, water structures for the operation of water wheels, as well as large heaps of slag and charcoal. The site research is being supplemented by archival research. At the same time archaeo-metallurgical analysis at the archaeometry laboratories indicate that by mid-17th century, the site of Demirköy-Samakocuk, similar to other centres of Ottoman metal production, was practicing a unique system of "private-public partnership" in industrial metallurgy in the Balkans, more advanced than other regions of the Continent.
This unique industrial archaeology project is planned to be completed around the year 2010, and the foundry is expected to be restored and turned into an open-air museum.
* B.Arch., M.Phil., Ph.D, Professor of History of Technology, Department of History, Bogaziçi University, Bebek 34342, Istanbul.

Calgary's Excessive Vehicle Noise Bylaw and it's Flawed Creation
John Mar's statement is technically correct, unfortunately, the measurement methods by Calgary Bylaw are completely wrong. We touched on why the new bylaw is flawed in our post about the Noise Snare, where our Mercedes Benz C63 AMG Black Series failed the bylaw's definition of objectionable noise. With the help of curious Beyond members in the discussions thread, we were able to figure out why our new and completely stock vehicle was able to fail the test so badly. Let's start from the top.
It all started with City Council wanting to control objectionable noise, mainly, from motorcycles in areas such as 17th Ave SW, where the roar of their loud pipes makes it difficult to carry conversations on the street. In the City Council meeting on May 18th, 2011, a report was tabled that claims:
Vehicles that are imported or manufactured in Canada are required to meet federal guidelines for noise emissions. The highest permitted exterior noise level for a new vehicle is 84 decibels. These levels will increase marginally as the vehicle experiences normal operating wear and tear or more significantly, if the vehicle is not maintained or is modified from the original manufacturer's equipment to deliberately emit higher noise levels.
The Traffic Bylaw 26M96 would be amended to make it an offence for any vehicle to exceed the maximum decibel limit. It is recommended that the decibel limit be set above the maximum level specified at time of manufacture to allow for vehicle noise levels increasing with normal wear and tear.
Reference: Community Services & Protective Services Report to SPC on Land Use, Planning and Transportation
Find out where they went wrong…
Calgary Noise Snare and Bylaw is Flawed
The second open house for the the City of Calgary's new weapon to combat excessively loud vehicles wrapped up yesterday evening after 469 vehicles rolled through the Noise Snare. We previously mentioned that some vehicles straight off the dealer showroom would exceed the 96 decibels threshold the City has chosen and we wanted to test it out with a brand new 2012 Mercedes Benz C63 AMG Black Series.
First, a little bit on how the Noise Snare works. The vehicle mounted device constantly monitors ambient noise levels using a microphone placed above the rear tire of a parked bylaw vehicle. When a pre-set level is hit the two cameras are activated and begin recording clips of the vehicle approaching as well as it driving away from the noise snare. The concept is simple, but the implementation will be a lot trickier than deploying say a photo radar van that snaps a photo of speeding vehicles. With noise, there are many other factors at play that need to be under control that a bylaw officer may or may not have control of such as: distance from vehicle being measured, sound reflections off buildings or other vehicles and of course how the dB meter readings are weighted.

No business can function at its best today without having good antivirus software installed on all its computers. This is a widely acknowledged fact, but the trouble is that if you don't know that much about IT and computing, and you run your own small business, then sometimes the choice of internet security available can be a little confusing.
If you don't want to spend any time on it, then a straightforward option is to use the antivirus software offered by your internet service provider. You need to actively choose to download it as it won't happen automatically.
However, this isn't your only option. On a new computer, the retailer will often offer to install their recommended antivirus package when they set it up for you. However, you can find many different antivirus software packages online and they are simple to download. You can also download a free version as a trial product before signing up to pay for a year's subscription.
If you have more than one computer, you might be better advised to buy an antivirus software program with a multi-licence. Some companies like Kaspersky offer a multi-device licence that covers different operating systems – Windows, Macs and mobile antivirus.
As well as antivirus, the internet security suite you choose should include anti-spyware, a spam filter and firewall.
When you first download an antivirus package, it might seem to slow down the functions on your computer, and when the virus scans are running it will make using your pc tediously slow. For this reason it's best to set the scans to run last thing at night before you shut down your computer. Once the software has been installed for a day or so, your computer should run at normal speed again. If it doesn't, it may be that you've picked something that isn't compatible with your computer system, so uninstall it and try a different one.
This is why free downloads of antivirus software are invaluable. Trialling a product for 30-60 days will give you ample time to see if they software works well for you.

Until now!
We needed something for Kennedy's bedside table so I went right ahead and made it myself!
I've seen this idea around here and there, but I've always sort of overlooked it because the ones I've seen haven't really been my style. But I'm loving this one.
I just grabbed an ordinary box that was the right size.
I used a glue stick to attach a strip of fabric, wrapped a bit of twine, did a bit of stamping and that was it.
Oh look at that! You found my secret. The "liner" is really just a piece of ribbon I stuck on there.
Oh well, I have just the right solution to cover this up...
Books! Who would have guessed?
So just to recap, here's what happened:
OK, now lets all go make about a million of these!
Oh, and in case you were wondering, those are green onions I'm trying to grow in the background.
Which, apparently, cats eat. Or Sammy does, anyway. At least he's cute.

ESPN crowns Spurs Team of the decade
As Spurs & Thunder prepare to square off, what the numbers say
It's been two years since the San Antonio Spurs lost in the Western Conference Finals in six games at the hands of the Oklahoma City Thunder. With both teams returning with a majority of the same players from that series and also some new and developing ones, Wednesday's first matchup between the two could be an early glimpse of what the Western Conference Finals could be like this coming season.
Here's a look at some numbers the Spurs (13-1) and Thunder (9-3) are posting on average as they prepare to face each other in Oklahoma City.
Offensive Numbers, meet the Defensive Numbers
Points: Spurs 102.1 - 10th, Thunder 103.5 - 9th
Opponent Points: Spurs 90.1 - 2nd, Thunder 97.9 - 12th
no comments5 things to watch: Spurs vs. Thunder
The San Antonio Spurs (13-1) will face their Western Conference rival, Oklahoma City Thunder (9-3) tonight in Oklahoma and put their 11-game winning streak on the line.
The Spurs are coming off a 112-93 thrashing of the Pelicans in San Antonio. Tony Parker scored 14 and handed out 7 assists while Boris Diaw tallied 13 points and 5 rebounds. Tiago Splitter is probable for tonight's matchup.
The Thunder are coming off a 95-73 win over the Jazz. Kevin Durant finished with 19 points in the victory.
And as these two West powers get set to clash, here are five things to watch for during tonight's contest:
• The Thunder are 6-0 at home this season.
no commentsVideo: Kawhi Leonard Full Highlights vs Pelicans
Manu Ginobili Full Highlights vs. Pelicans
San Antonio Spurs guard Manu Ginobili is quickly making his doubters bite their tongues and helping his faithful forget his below-average season last year. He's showing glimpses of a rejuvenated Ginobili with his vintage play so far and last night's game against the New Orleans Pelicans was no exception.
Check out the video below of Ginobili's 16 point (6-7 FG, 4-5 3FG) and 6 assist night along with some nifty passes to go along with them.
no commentsAre the San Antonio Spurs targeting Dante Cunningham?
Darren Wolfson whom is a sports anchor and report for Minneapolis 5 Eyewitness News and the host of 1500 ESPN Radio sent out a tweet last night concerning Dante Cunningham whom plays for the Minnesota Timberwolves.
You can read into the tweet as much as you want but their is some indication from him that the San Antonio Spurs and the Los Angeles Lakers are have in fact asked about the young small forward and could possibly make a play at him in July as an unrestricted free agent.

no commentsSan Antonio Spurs 112, New Orleans Pelicans 93 The Foreign Legion of Doom
AT&T CENTER--Seated in front of his locker, quickly changing clothes before the horde of cameras make their way two seats over and invade his space for Manu Ginobili's customary post game media scrum, Boris Diaw hastily throws on a custom t-shirt with a cartoon likeness of himself. His physique, while far removed from the Charlotte Bobcat post-lockout days that spurred a thousand overweight jokes, still remains far from the sculpted pinnacle of physical perfection we associate with world class athletes.
Conversing with Diaw is Matt Bonner, a pale, red-headed big man who looks and dresses like what you what expect from a basketball player from the basketball hotbed of New Hampshire. Alongside Manu Ginobili, Marco Belinelli, and Patty Mills, the San Antonio Spurs second unit is perhaps the least physically imposing lineup in the NBA today. And perhaps its most entertaining.

By using "Magic Speed Reading", you can increase your facility for fast reading. You needn't practice special exercises; it is enough just to read. Habitually returning to what is already read, that usually decreases the speed of reading, no longer happens. Reading each word individually becomes unnecessary because skillful fast readers do not individualize the text when reading at high speeds. You become accustomed to grasping a whole word or a group of words at one glance. In this way you activate your peripheral vision facilities. You study how to read without haste, because the program responds to the speed you have chosen and does not react to your haste. The "Speed Reading Is Not Magic" inclues 15 different computerized trainings. Visit www.ababasoft.com for more infornation. By using speed reading software, you can improve your facilities of speed reading. You don't need to do any special exercises; it is enough to read and to practice periodically. Take a Look at these free online speed reading techniques. All texts contain 50% of garbage. Try to remove 50% of letters and you still will be able to read the text. Try to understand this simple idea and you speed reading will go up. Human mind can read words like Chinese hieroglyphs (you see the the picture and understand the mean of it). You can mix the letters and still read the text. Try to understand this simple idea and you speed reading will go up. You can read the text by groups of words. If you cut the paper of text by a pair of scissors and mix the slice of text and you can also read the text. The speed reading will also improve if you widen your eye span.

I am using PowerPoint to create our deck. I believe I can make use of a few advanced PowerPoint features (like animations) to provide a more robust presentation. However, if the VC reviews a printed copy of the deck the animations will not be there and overall the deck could end up being less effective, if not odd.
I realize there is not an 'absolute' answer to this. I am more curious what people believe to be the general case.
As a sub-question is it OK to nudge the reader to the electronic version?

February 5, 2013 Skewed LeftThe Best Ways to Bet at the BallparkHey, remember that idiot who told you a couple months back that you should never bet on baseball? Well, don't listen to that guy. He's kind of an idiot. Actually, I heard he picked the Tigers to win the World Series last year, so he's probably just really bitter. Anyway, that's a stupid take. You should absolutely bet on baseball, because betting on baseball is a lot of fun. Face it. There are 2,430 regular season games, which is a lot. The NFL has 256 of roughly the same length. With 2,430 games, you can't be expected to have a rooting interest in every one. That's why chicken magnate/LHP Kenny Rogers invented Rotisserie baseball, which evolved into the fantasy game we know today. It's also why in lieu of placing one of those awful futures bets where you can hang onto one team, there are plenty of ways to make baseball interesting for the common fan with little of the preseason preparation that goes into fantasy and at times no prep beyond day-of accounting. As we sit less than two months from the marathon of baseball season, you should know the following games, which have zero house edge because there is zero house. It's just you and your friends and baseball and something over which to stop speaking to each other. Here are a few of my favorites beyond the ubiquitous fantasy game. The cup game The cup game (swearing actually optional) is your easiest choice for how to bet on baseball and keeps you going through any blowout. It's a perfect option for people attending a game with lots of extraneous dollar bills and no forethought.

What's old is new again, according to those who keep track of these things, the Furby is now the hottest toy of the holiday season. Walmart and Amazon can't keep 'em in stock, so watch ebay start lighting up with them for 3 times the $54 asking price soon. And of course even more for quality throwback ones from the 90's when they blew away the market last time. I'm standing by for another Pokémon resurgence!!!

Future Option for Adjusting LED Colour and Intensity Outputs aka Controller in a Bulb

I was clicking through Kickstarter and saw this, the LIFX light bulb. "LIFX is a WiFi enabled, multi-color, energy efficient LED light bulb that you control with your iPhone or Android."
Think of the implications for controllers, and reef tech. Crap, everything is going to be wifi enabled soon isn't it?

Who are we ?
General project and activities
the Prehistory Welcome Center
Facilities and organization of the Prehistory Welcome Center in Les Eyzies
technical informations and press release
the Prehistory Welcome Center
The Prehistory Welcome Center, opening in July 2010, is dedicated to the discovery and knowledge of prehistory and the Vezere Valley. It will fulfill several functions for the general public: welcoming tourists and providing them with information on the subject of prehistory, the realization of learning and education programs in archaeology for school groups, providing a place for reading and studying through books and new technologies and the organization of cultural and scientific events and manifestations.
The location
The site of the Prehistory Welcome Center, in the village of Les Eyzies, extends from the rue du Moulin (historic entrance to the village) to the other side of RD 47 Périgueux-Sarlat. It is traversed by the Beune River, a tributary of the Vezere River (classed Natura 2000) that was canalized as a race for an ancient mill.
The site covers a total of 16,000 m². It includes parking areas, a landscaped park providing access to the Center over a long footbridge crossing the streams, and the building itself (120 m long and 3000 m² of surface area on two floors.
In 2007, a diagnostic archaeology operation was conducted on the site in by the Departmental Archaeology Service. This work revealed the remains of a water mill whose earliest archival documentation dates to 1661. The historic study of the "High Mill", realized in the context of the diagnostic operation, retraces the general history of this structure, which played an important economic role in the village over many centuries.
To permit the construction of the Prehistory Welcome Center, the General Council of the Dordogne acquired the « Moulin Dufour » property from the commune of Les Eyzies in 2003. The plot was occupied by an ancient flour mill composed of industrial buildings and offices that had been unoccupied for several years before. They were demolished in 2007.
The architectural project
On this exceptional site, the architect Raphaël Voinchet (Cabinet W. Architectures in Toulouse) conceived a dynamic and innovative building that seems to blend with the cliff face, with its two discrete levels laid out at the foot of this striking natural backdrop. The building does not impose itself on the site, but simply inhabits it, thus respecting the natural environment.

I had this same issue on XBMC 10.1 stable linux and it turned out to be an issue with an extracted file combined with the original archived file in the same directory.
Example: movies/film_name/film_name.avi movies/film_name/film_name.rar I simply removed my original archived file and the error went away. I am curious as to why it didn't create a second movie entry in my film list instead of popping up an error. |

By now you've at least heard about Roger Ebert's article on the Chicago Sun Times' website, Video Games Can Never Be Art. If you haven't read it yet, click that link and give it a skim, because Adam uses is as the topic for this week's Soapbox. We've all been involved in this debate before, but this time Adam doesn't necessarily disagree with Ebert. At least not completely. We all know that games require a lot of artistry in order to develop them, but is a game, in itself, art?

Music review: Sarasota Orchestra Masterworks: Seeing Music in Nature
Date: February 17, 2010
by: June LeBell
Sarasota Orchestra's recent Masterworks concert put the spotlight on "Music in Nature" with a cleverly designed program that featured two of classical music's giants: Beethoven's "Pastorale" symphony and Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring." Artistic Director Leif Bjaland may not be the first to pair these picturesque pieces (Disney did it in "Fantasia"), but we give him credit for the motif he wove so well and the beautiful and electrifying sounds he elicited from his massive forces.
And massive they were. Between Beethoven and Stravinsky there were so many instruments on stage, it was hard to keep track. At one time or another we had three (count them!) different kinds of tubas: bass, tenor and Wagner. And those tuba mutes were positively other-worldly, looking like gigantic upside-down ice cream cones from Mars. There weren't exactly 76 trombones, but there were trumpets of every size, including "rotary valve," or European trumpets.
Of course, when it comes to the thunderstorm in the Beethoven and, well, almost all of the Stravinsky, you have to have percussion, and the Sarasota Orchestra almost sank the stage with more timpani and drums than you could shake a stick at.
But this concert didn't need any pixilations to inspire our imaginations. (Okay, "Fantasia's" hopping hippos and piping satyrs did dance through my head — I admit it.) It was the playing that lit my fire, from the rippling of the "scene by the brook" in the Beethoven to the vibrant, pulsating, driving, rhythmic, scathing, churning and, yes, beautiful Stravinsky.
It's hard to believe that this "Rite of Spring" set off riots within the first few measures at its premiere. Now, almost 100 years later, the opening plaintive notes of the bassoon are downright romantic to our ears. And, as we looked around at the audience, we were pleased to see no one had left at intermission. Good thing, too, because they would have missed a veritable feast for the ears — one of the finest performances of the Stravinsky since Pierre Boulez stood before the New York Philharmonic.

Make bad art.
Neil Gaiman has released a book of his great commencement address, Make Good Art.
When things get tough, this is what you should do: Make good art. I'm serious. Husband runs off with a politician — make good art. Leg crushed and then eaten by a mutated boa constrictor — make good art. IRS on your trail — make good art. Cat exploded — make good art. Someone on the Internet thinks what you're doing is stupid or evil or it's all been done before — make good art. Probably things will work out somehow, eventually time will take the sting away, and that doesn't even matter. Do what only you can do best: Make good art. Make it on the bad days, make it on the good days, too.
I love Gaiman's message, but I also want to make a plug for something else: when the going gets rough, make bad art, too.
When 9/11 and Katrina hit and she lost a bunch of her close friends, Lynda Barry got really depressed, and all she could do is doodle:
I found myself compelled, like this weird, shameful compulsion to draw cute animals. That was all I could stand to draw. You know, just cry and draw cute animals…dancing dogs with crowns on, you know? And, like, really friendly ducks. But I found this monkey, this meditating monkey, and I found that once - when I drew that monkey, it's not that it fixed the problem. But it did shift it a little bit, or provide me some kind of relief. And that's when I started to think, maybe that's what images do, because I believe in all my - with all my heart they have an absolute biological function…
"Good" can be a stifling word, a word that makes you hesitate and stare at a blank page and second-guess yourself and throw stuff in the trash. What's important is to get your hands moving and let the images come. Whether it's good or bad is beside the point. Make art.

Belltown Community Center
Belltown Community Center Open HouseFriday September 14, 2012 For any additional information contact the Parks Project PlannerTrevor Gregg |
The 1999 Community Center Levy provides $2.02 million for a new community center for the Belltown community.
The intent of this project consists of leasing a 6,000 sq.ft. new community center space that would serve as a civic focal point for this densely populated downtown neighborhood with rooms available for public meetings, classes and rentals.
The lease agreement for the Belltown Community Center, located at the southwest corner of 5th Ave and Bell St, 415 Bell Street, was presented to the Parks Committee for approval on November 17, 2011, where it was approved, it was subsequently approved by Full Council in December 2011. The agreement is for a seven year lease, with an option to renew.
Tenant Improvements to the building are underway and are expected to be completed in early September of 2012, with the facility open to the public in mid-September 2012.
Parks is currently working with potential partners to operate the facility, making sure to incorporate the needs and desires of the community in those discussions. Parks will also incorporate a mechanism for community members to be involved in future operations and programming decisions related to the center.
Parks Previous attempts to site the facility in 2000 with the Low Income Housing Institute's (LIHI) Belltown View site were unsuccessful. Since then Parks conducted additional public meetings between 2001-2005 and has actively investigated many locations in the Belltown neighborhood for a multi-year lease arrangement to house a community center; however, spaces meeting criteria for a center were virtually non-existent.
In 2010 Park's acquisition staff investigated an additional 27 sites within the Belltown core for possible lease space to accommodate the Belltown Community Center. Key priorities for location included the following:
Parks is currently pursuing a lease option for a site at the southwest corner of 5th Avenue and Bell Street. An independent operator will be selected through a Request for Proposal process for this community center.
Belltown Community Center Improvement Project
Over 65 citizens attended the first public meeting for this project. Key priorities from the community on future programming and operations of the Community Center include:

My primary area of interest in research concerns computational theories of inference and learning in biological and artificial systems. Questions that motivate me include: How can we construct artificial systems that analyze complex, cluttered environments with the ease and accuracy of natural systems? How can novel visual items be processed efficiently and how do representations and processing change as items become more familiar? |

The history of the ukulele goes back to the 19th century in Hawaii, when Portuguese immigrants took their original instrument, known as the machete, to the Islands. Ukuleles come in 4 sizes: soprano, concert, tenor, & baritone. The ukulele has enjoyed something of a renaissance in recent years, with sales at an all-time high. Some theorists believe that YouTube has done much to influence this, with performers such as Julia Nunes receiving millions of views of her ukulele performances. What is clear however the ukulele is a really fun instrument; it is affordable, small and light and is easy to learn and play. There are many online resources for the instrument, as well as ukulele festivals, ukulele orchestras, online tuners and much more. At Musician's Friend we have ukuleles by all the top brands, including Kala Ukuleles. All our ukuleles are supported by our price & satisfaction guarantees and free standard shipping is now applicable on orders over $25.

Costruire e gestire ambienti di apprendimento che integrino strumenti tecnologici: analisi di un cas
The paper discusses the results of a research project based on the field testing of a course aimed at developing arithmetic problem solving skills in primary school pupils. The course was designed to incorporate e-learning techniques, including the use of ARI@ITALES authoring tools. These tools allowed the integration in the course of constructivist activities based on interaction with a set of different microworlds. The aims of the project were twofold: to analyse how the adopted approach and t
The Model of Collaborative Learning GRID to activate interactivity for Knowledge Building
The purpose of this study is to support the learning activity in the Internet learning space. In this paper, we examine the GRID technology as the knowledge management for supporting "collaborative learning" / " collaboration in learning" (CL).
RAPSODY-EX (REX) is a distributed learning support environment organized as a learning infrastructure. REX can effectively carry out to support collaborative activities in asynchronous/ synchronous learning mode.
The mixed distributed learning environme
Quality of Service Requirements for the e-Learning Grid
In the same way that the Web has evolved from being a technology designed to aid scientific collaboration to one which is employed extensively in e-business and increasingly in e-learning, the Grid is also evolving from its original concept as a highly distributed dynamic source of computing resources "on tap", like the power grid, for e-science, to a means of supporting enterprise computing across heterogeneous, distributed, virtual organisations.
However, even the most recent ideas associated
Shaping e-Learning Applications for a Service Oriented GriD
The paper discusses technical issues related to establishment of e-learning services on a grid. The XML based technology for implementation of e_learning application in the form of web service is analyzed from the perspective of making an application grid-aware.
The special e_learning repository service is proposed as a technique for coordinated use of distributed e_learning resources through the access and invocation of web services.
A model for negotiation in teaching-learning dialogues
Despite the fact that a number of researchers from a wide variety of theoretical perspectives have claimed that negotiation in dialogue is fundamental in learning, little research has been based on a precise notion of what negotiation is and how it relates to learning. This paper describes a model for negotiation, based on analysis of teacher-student and learner-learner dialogues. After discussion of illustrative examples and review of related research, negotiations are defined in terms of four
A note on organizational learning and knowledge sharing in the context of communities of practice
The knowledge management (KM) literature emphasizes the impact of human factors forsuccessful implementation of KM within the organization. Isolated initiatives for promoting learning organization and team collaboration, without taking consideration of the knowledge sharing limitations and constraints can defeat further development of KM culture. As an effective instrument for knowledge sharing, communities of practice (CoP) are appearing to overcome these constraints and to foster human collabo

Didactical complexity of computational environments for the learning of mathematics
How a microworld is used by students is crucially influenced by the teacher, who has the responsibility of organising the classroom setting in which learning takes place. For this reason this paper focuses on the teacher as a manager of the learning situation, in relation to the students' construction of meaning. A model of teaching which takes into account interactions between teacher, students and computer is outlined. Although the focus of this paper will be on the teacher, the teacher w

Cyborg Anthropology
I heard Amber Case case speak at a 5D (Future of Immersive Design) Conference at the Hammer Museum in LA. Apart from the fascinating discussion that she had with other panelists (from Allosphere and Hanson Robotics), she introduced to me the new field of Cyborg Anthropology. Its a funky name for something that lot of other people do but still it caught attention and stuck on to my memory. In short it is the study of the evolution of the fusion of the human and the machine. Another related field is the field of Cyber (not cyborg) Anthropology.
Here is Amber herself explaining Cyborg Anthropology in a short presentation for Ignite.
PS: Cyborg is short for "cybernetic organism," a being that is part cybernetic machine and part organism.

A new app for the iPhone helps cancer patients and survivors use nutrition to improve their health.
Dieticians at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute created the app. It provides recipes and tips for people going through cancer treatment or those who are in recovery.
Users can search recipes based on their specific disease type, or symptoms they are experiencing, like nausea or mouth sores.
Several studies have shown a healthy diet doesn't only lower your risk for developing cancer, it can help people stricken with the disease improve their outcome.
The recipes can also be used by people looking for new, healthy meal options and isn't exclusive to cancer patients.

A. D. Scott weaves charged emotion into Beneath the Abbey Wall, a well-paced novel that bridges the gap between British "gentleman detective" mysteries – which include characters such as Hercule Poirot, Inspector Morse, and Adam Dagliesh, among others, and which often entail ingenious executions of a crime – and hardboiled police procedurals that suggest bleak views of humanity.
