A screensaver is a computer program that blanks the screen or fills it with moving images or patterns when the computer is not in use. Initially designed to prevent phosphor burn-in on CRT and plasma computer monitors (hence the name), screensavers are now used primarily for entertainment, security or to display system status information.
Decades before the first computers utilizing this technology were invented, Robert A. Heinlein gave an example of how they might be used in his novel Stranger In A Strange Land (1961).[1][2]
Many modern television systems, media players and other entertainment systems have a form of screensaver integrated. Most simply display a logo moving around the screen.
Before the advent of LCD screens, most computer screens were based on cathode ray tubes (CRTs). When the same image is displayed on a CRT screen for long periods, the properties of the exposed areas of phosphor coating on the inside of the screen gradually and permanently change, eventually leading to a darkened shadow or "ghost" image on the screen, called a screen burn-in. Cathode ray televisions, oscilloscopes and other devices that use CRTs are all susceptible to phosphor burn-in, as are plasma displays to some extent.
Screen-saver programs were designed to help avoid these effects by automatically changing the images on the screen during periods of user inactivity.
For CRTs used in public, such as ATMs and railway ticketing machines, the risk of burn-in is especially high because a stand-by display is shown whenever the machine is not in use. Older machines designed without burn-in problems taken into consideration often display evidence of screen damage, with images or text such as "Please insert your card" (in the case of ATMs) visible even when the display changes while the machine is in use. Blanking the screen is out of the question as the machine would appear to be out of service. In these applications, burn-in can be prevented by shifting the position of the display contents every few seconds, or by having a number of different images that are changed regularly.
Modern CRTs are much less susceptible to burn-in than older models due to improvements in phosphor coatings, and because modern computer images are generally lower contrast than the stark green- or white-on-black text and graphics of earlier machines. LCD computer monitors, including the display panels used in laptop computers, are not susceptible to burn-in because the image is not directly produced by phosphors (although they can suffer from a less extreme and usually non-permanent form of image persistence). For these reasons, screensavers today are primarily for decorative/entertainment purposes, or for password protection. They usually feature moving images or patterns and sometimes sound effects.
One increasingly popular application is for screensavers to activate a useful background task, such as a virus scan or a distributed computing application (such as the SETI@home project). This allows applications to use resources only when the computer would be otherwise idle.
Monitors running screensavers consume the same amount of power as when running normally, which can be anywhere from a few watts for small LCD monitors to several hundred for large plasma displays. Most modern computers can be set to switch the monitor into a lower power mode, blanking the screen altogether. A power-saving mode for monitors is usually part of the power management options supported in most modern operating systems, though it must also be supported by the computer hardware and monitor itself.
Additionally, using a screensaver with a flat panel or LCD screen instead of powering down the screen can actually reduce the lifetime of the display, since the fluorescent backlight remains lit and ages faster than it would if the screen were turned off completely. As fluorescent tubes age they grow progressively dimmer, and they can be expensive or difficult to replace. A typical LCD screen loses about 50% of its brightness during a normal product lifetime, if left on continuously. (In most cases, the tube is an integral part of the LCD and the entire assembly needs to be replaced.)
Thus the term "screen saver" is now something of a misnomer—the best way to save the screen (and also save electricity) would simply be to have the computer turn off the monitor.
Notice also that screensavers may utilize a significant amount of CPU time, increasing power consumption in the process.
After Dark was an early screensaver for the Macintosh platform, and later PC/Windows, which prominently featured whimsical designs such as flying toasters. Perhaps in response to the workplace environment in which they are often viewed, many screensavers continue this legacy of whimsy by populating the idle monitor with animals or fish, games, and visual expressions of mathematics equations (through the use of fractals) as in the Electric Sheep screensaver.
The ability of screensavers to divert and entertain is used for promotion, especially to build buzz for "event-based" products such as feature films.
The screensaver is also an outlet for the work of creative computer programmers. The Unix-based screensaver XScreenSaver collects the display effects of other Unix screensavers, which are termed "display hacks" in the jargon file tradition of US computer science academics. It also collects forms of computer graphics effects called demo effects, originally included in demos created by the demo scene.
Screensaver software can also be used as a rudimentary security measure. Many screensavers can be configured to ask users for a password before permitting the user to resume work. However, a user might be able to circumvent the password by restarting the computer if the computer's owner has set their account to automatically log in upon startup.
Microsoft Windows[edit]
On older versions of Microsoft Windows the native screensaver format had the potential to install a virus when run (as a screen saver was just an ordinary application with a different extension). When any file with the file suffix ".scr" was opened, for example from an e-mail attachment, Windows would execute the .scr (screensaver) file automatically: this had the potential to allow a virus or malware to install itself. Modern versions of Windows can read tags left by applications such as Internet Explorer and verify the publisher of the file, presenting a confirmation to the user.
On August 5, 2006, the BBC reported that "free screensavers" and "screensavers" respectively were the first and third most likely search terms to return links to malware, the second being BearShare.[3]
The first screensaver was allegedly written for the original IBM PC by John Socha, best known for creating the Norton Commander; he also coined the term screen saver. The screensaver, named scrnsave, was published in December 1983 issue of the Softalk magazine. It simply blanked the screen after three minutes of inactivity (an interval which could be changed only by recompiling the program).
The first screensaver that allowed users to change the activating time was released on Apple's Lisa, in 1983.
The Atari 400 and 800's screens would also go through random screensaver-like color changes if they were left inactive for too long. The user had no control over this. These computers, released in 1979, are technically earlier "screen savers." And prior to these computers, the 1977 Atari VCS/2600 gaming console included color cycling in games like Combat or Breakout, in order to prevent burn-in of game images to 1970's-era televisions. In addition, the first model of the TI-30 calculator from 1976 featured a screensaver, which consisted of a decimal point running across the display after 30 seconds of inactivity. This was chiefly used to save battery power, as the LED display was more power intensive than later LCD display models. These are examples of screensavers in ROM or the firmware of a computer.
Today with the help of modern graphics technologies there is a wide variety of different screensavers. Because of 3D computer graphics, which provide realistic environments, 3D screensavers are available.
Underlying architecture[edit]
Screensavers are usually designed and coded using a variety of programming languages as well as graphics interfaces. Typically the authors of screensavers use the C or C++ programming languages, along with Graphics Device Interface (GDI), DirectX, or OpenGL, to craft their final products. Several Mac OS X screensavers are created and designed using the Quartz Extreme graphics layer. The screensaver interfaces indirectly with the operating system to cause the physical display screen to be overlaid with one or more graphic "scenes". The screensaver typically terminates after receiving a message from the operating system that a key has been pressed or the mouse has been moved.

I have to move my website on another server and I take this opportunity to improve it a bit.
Since a few days I'm struggling to find how I could customize my archives. My website is principally a news site. We have at least 4 or 5 news posted every days and we have published archives news from 1986. So no need to say that I have hundreds of files.
I used Maginot on the previous server (an old version) and have upgraded to the latest version (Maginot 14) and even would like to try the Beta Maginot 15 version (is it a good idea?). But I'm completely puzzled how to build my archives the way I would like to. There is really few help about Maginot sliced on this forum. To complicated everything I'm French speaker and sometimes it's hard for me to understand some complicated explanations. So please could some of you help me a bit
Basically, here is what I would like to achieve:
The first page of my archives would look like this:
-Subject of the first news--30 April 2005
-Subject of the Second news-- 30 April 2005
-Subject of the third news -- 30 April 2005
-Subject of the First news -- 29 April 2005
-Subject of the Second news--29 Arpil 2005
-Subject of the Frist news -- 28 April 2005
-Subject of the Second news -- 28 April 2005
And so on.... No more than 15 or 20 news per page and all the subjects linked to the respective single html file with the complete news created with Maginot.
Then a second page with again at the top April 2005 and then the other news form April 2005.
And to follow of course the news from
March 2005
So my main problem is to created these sliced pages with:
1/ no more than 15 or 20 news titles per page
2/ each time at the top of the page the current month and year listed
3/ at the bottom of the page a simple menu with the different years linked to the relevant page. ie the link 2002 would open the page where the first 2002 news are listed.
I cannot figure out how I must sliced these pages, what fields I must use to create the links, if I must first create a standard profile...
I'd be so happy if someone could patiently help me step by step to achieve this bearing with my poor English. Since days I'm going crazy with this and have sleepless nights
Thanks a lot to those who are willing to help me

Love comes in many shapes and sizes and well, apparently flavors too. |

Price for one 48V (16s) 20Ah pack with BMS could be somewhere around 1600 USD, depending on overall quantity.
The BMS has over-voltage charger cutoff, over-discharge motor cutoff, monitoring of each individual cell, early balancing (it balances the pack in main charging stage, thus drastically reducing overall full charge time), balancing current of 1A.

Peter Sellers brilliantly plays three roles — stiff-upper-lipped British flier Lionel Mandrake, ineffective American president Merkin Muffley, and crazed, wheelchair-bound ex-Nazi scientist Dr. Strangelove — in Stanley Kubrick's nightmarishly hilarious satire of atomic-age madness.
In a seemingly utopian, post-apocalyptic society whose inhabitants peacefully consent to disintegration at age 30, a rebel (Michael York) goes on the run from his preordained fate, in this sparkling digital restoration of the sci-fi cult classic.
As a pathologically depressed newlywed (Kirsten Dunst) confronts her personal existential crisis, existence itself is placed in jeopardy by an enormous meteor on a collision course with Earth, in controversial director Lars von Trier's stylistically daring end-of-the-world drama.
Alfonso Cuarón's dazzlingly directed dystopian thriller, set in a bleak future where all of Earth's women have become mysteriously infertile, follows a cynical, alcoholic journalist (Clive Owen) as he tries to smuggle a miraculously pregnant young refugee to safety.
A loincloth-clad barbarian (Sean Connery) in a far-distant future discovers the bizarre truth about his people's god in John Boorman's astronomically ambitious and hilariously dreadful cult classic.
A scientist awakens from a narcotic slumber and discovers that he is the last man left on Earth — maybe — in this contemplative, stylish and surprisingly funny apocalyptic sci-fi drama, whose mind-bending premise and inventive, low-budget visuals helped make it an international cult hit.
When NASA scientists detect an asteroid "the size of Texas" on a collision course with the Earth, they do what any sensible person would: launch a dysfunctional crew of roughneck oil drillers into space to destroy the thing before it wipes out life as we know it. Bruce Willis, Ben Affleck and Liv Tyler star in action-movie "auteur" Michael Bay's grandiose, absurd, Aerosmith-propelled paragon of cinematic excess.
As an unspecified cataclysm looms, a group of Torontonians try to decide how to spend their final hours, in Don McKellar's warm, witty and bittersweet apocalyptic comedy.
In a flame-scorched future where dragons (yes, dragons) have taken over the world, the leader of a small band of survivors (Christian Bale) reluctantly teams with a bald, bearded, cigar-chomping mercenary (a hilariously over-the-top Matthew McConaughey) to take the fight to the fire-breathers.
The mysterious, maybe mad Max (Mel Gibson) comes to the aid of a peaceful commune under siege from a band of vicious desert marauders in George Miller's action-packed, high-velocity dystopian nightmare.
As we prepare for the preordained (according to incorrect readings of the Mayan calendar) end of the world (not really) on December 21, 2012, what better way to spend our rapidly diminishing time than speculating on how we're going to buy the farm? The movies have long provided us with visions of our End of Days, ranging from the solemn (The Quiet Earth) to the satirical (Dr. Strangelove), the subtle (Last Night) to the spectacular (Armageddon), the shirtless (The Road Warrior) to the McConaughey (Reign of Fire). Come ride out the Rapture with us as we survey the wide, wonderful world of apocalyptic cinema.

Saw over 20 fry out of hiding a bit after I threw in some repashy community for them. I managed to catch a couple before they scooted off again. The largest of them was about 1 1/2" total length, with the smaller ones just over 1/2". Enjoy:

Do a Good Deed for Mandela Day
Wednesday, July 18, 2012 1:19:16 PM
Today is Nelson Mandela's birthday: the South African leader turns 94!
To mark Mandela Day, as the 18th of July has become known, people around the world are encouraged to do a good deed or perform some service for others. Giving 67 minutes of your time is a symbolic tribute to the 67 years Nelson Mandela devoted to campaigning for human rights.
One of Opera's partners in Africa, MTN is doing its part for Mandela Day, by facilitating people writing birthday messages for Mr. Mandela, or making pledges to do good deeds for others. These contributions will be compiled into a book by MTN, which will then be given to Mr Mandela as a birthday gift. You can add your thoughts to this book by going to MTN's website.
Happy Mandela Day!

back to topProduct Description
The Colt 1873 Single Action Army revolver was arguably the best-selling pistol ever produced. The Colt Single Action Army in smaller calibers was very popular due to the cheap price of ammunition and light recoil in a full-sized revolver that looked exactly like the big Colt .45. The Stallion is a scaled-down version of the Single Action Army.

First a quick tutorial on how to crochet with more than one strand of yarn.
The inspiration for my pattern comes from this one. I used a size Q hook and three strands of yarn. Two yarns are a size 4 Worst Weight yarn and one is a size 5 bulk yarn. You could easily do 3 strands of size 4 and go down to a P or K size hook, or you could use 4 strands of size 4 yarn and stay with the Q.
I have had some people ask me how you hold three strands of yarn at the same time. It's really not that difficult.
I like to lay my skeins of yarn out on the floor in a row so they don't all get tangled together. They also make yarn holders that you can use to make sure they don't get tangled.
Then you just take all the strands and wrap them all around your fingers just like you normally would do. If you have worked with super bulky yarn, it's a similar feel on your fingers.
Then just crocheted like normal.
HDC ~ half double crochet
CH ~ chain
Materials needed:
At least 3 skeins of yarn. Around 1065 yards of yarn. Yes, it takes a lot of yarn. If you use a bulk yarn it will take more or if you use 4 skeins instead of 3 it will take more.
Q size hook
Tapestry needles
Gauge isn't important for this.
Chain 50
Row 1 ~ HDC into 2nd ch from hook, and in each ch across. CH 2, turn. (48 HDC)
Row 2 ~ 55 ~ repeat Row 1, (48 HDC) this makes a lap sized afghan or a small child afghan. You can continue on if you would like to make a full sized afghan .
Tie off and weave in ends.
You are welcome to use my pattern to make items and sell them. I do ask that you refer back to this pattern in your shop listing or if you show it in a blog post. Please don't publish or claim this pattern as your own in part or whole.
It really easy, soft and warm. I looked forward to working on during chilly evenings, especially when it got long enough to cover my legs. As always I would love to see photos if you make an afghan from this pattern.
Hope you enjoy the pattern.

Very disappointing place. The food was not good at all. My pecan pancakes were so dry they crumbled, the Nutella Crepes were clearly made ahead, like rubber! Service was awful, he made us feel like we were bothering him. Will not return!!!
Exceptional in every respect - huge portions, fair prices, lovely staff and delicious breakfasts (the best I have had in the Wildwoods in years). The French toast stuffed with bananas and Nutella is divine.The diner it is clean i wish it was newer but that what it is . And i do not see why some people are so piky.... More
Went late on a Sunday morning with four adults. Service was prompt and friendly. Food was good with nice size portions. Overall we were satisfied...not overly impressed...but satisfied.
Pink Cadillac is the sister of Marvis Diner on Rio Grande. Service here was okay. Breakfast steak was over spiced and the eggs appeared to be scrambled on the grill. Spuds okay. The place is dull compared to its sister the Marvis. If you have one morning in Wildwood go to Marvis...or anywhere else.
The only reason the review is average is the prices. Breakfast for 4 adults and 1 child menu item costs over $50.00 not including tip. The food was hot and good not great but good. They win because of staff.
We went with 6 kids and 4 adults and paid 130.00 not to bad. The food and service was good and fast. The french toast is phenomenal. Perfectly cooked. The turkey sausage is good and a little spicy so don't give to little ones. All in all a good experience. We also went around 9:30 on an overcast day so... More
Had one of our party take the challenge and win free t-shirt --- half pound burger, double order of fries and a milkshake in 30 minutes or less. He is still wearing the shirt after 3 days.
My husband got an omelette and I got French toast, the servings were huge! Our son got French toast which was burnt and then the bill came and we couldn't believe we had spent $35.00 on breakfast. The next day we went to the hot spot diner much better and 12.00 cheaper for pretty much the same thing.
Pink cadillac we love you. Again for second time you impressed us.Hostess Anna treat us always with great respect Food was great and their waffles out of this world as their homefries and omelets .it s must go for us now and we live local . Thanks PC.

High, Holy Days Indeed
Rosh Hashana is the 1st day of the month of Tishrei. On that day, we sound the shofar (ram's horn).
Yom Kippur is 10 Tishrei. On that day, the Jews must fast as it is a day to atone for their sins. Eating on that day carries the penalty of kareis (except if one eats in a case of real medical necessity). Yom Kippur is called "Shabbos Shabbason," "the Sabbath of Sabbaths." In other words, Yom Kippur is to other holidays as Shabbos is to weekdays.

Oxheart (Houston, TX)
032212 –
Oxheart. A progressive restaurant in Houston that draws from its regional roots.
There's been a huge movement to use local ingredients and local this and local that with an ever changing menu that truly changes and progresses. There hasn't been a restaurant that accomplished this since Rucker left Bootsie's in Tomball. Places have tried to change their menu and use local and haven't quite succeeded. Newcomers such as Roost have started to pick up on it and change their menu every few weeks. We now have Oxheart to throw into the mix. With a few choices in menus which start at $49 for the 4 course Late Winter Menu or the $49 4 course Garden Menu and up to the $75 7 course Tasting Menu, you definitely have some options available to fit your budget. Luckily with their options the whole table doesn't have to commit to a single type of tasting menu. When I came with friends, they didn't have their liquor license and were BYOB. Justin Vann was able to recommend a wonderful champagne to accompany the tasting menu that Annie and I decided to go with.
Tasting Menu. 75.
- Okame Spinach Steamed over jasmine tea, with shiro miso and grains
- Raw Amish snap peas, mushroom, creme fraiche, cured and smoked mullet roe
- Southern Hake Cooked in Milk, brassica stems and roots, potato, head lettuces
- Gulf oyster warmed in its shell, red bunching onions, young leek, brown butter
- Caramelized carrots, umpqua broccoli, avocado, kombu and sunflower seed pistou
- Oxheart roasted in beef fat, mostarda of puckled early season strawberries, heirloom beets with coffee, sunchoke
- Mousse of home made buttermilk, chocolate, garden fennel

Iowa Senate approves boost to school funding
DES MOINES (AP) — The Democrat-controlled Iowa Senate on Wednesday approved a $187 million plan to boost school funding for the coming school year, despite Republican Gov. Terry Branstad's request that lawmakers pass his education reform plan before dealing with general support.
Under the plan approved by the Senate, state support for schools would increase by 4 percent, or $135 million, and money would be allocated from a budget surplus fund to prevent local property tax hikes for schools.
"Four percent is what they need in order to do their duty to their kids," said the plan's sponsor Sen. Herman Quirmbach, D-Ames, who said that without this funding for supplies, facilities and teachers, schools may have to make cuts such as layoffs. "Our children deserve it, our school districts need it."

581. National Service: The prohibition against conscripting a newlywed
Rabbi Jack Abramowitz
If a man marries a woman, he is exempt from military service for one year. Not only is he excused from battle, he is not even to be given administrative duties. We see this from the fact that the Torah says "he shall not go out with the army" (meaning battle) "nor shall he be given any other task" (meaning such things as paperwork or KP duty–see Talmud Sotah 44a). This is unlike others who are excused from battle, such as cowards (Mitzvah #525); they were given other duties to perform, off the battlefield.
The reason for this mitzvah is to support the institution of marriage. We want the new couple to get off on the right foot and yanking the husband out of the house so soon in the relationship doesn't help matters any. This is unlike the case of one who betrothed a woman but did not yet marry her or one who built a house but didn't live in it yet. In those cases, the soldier is excused from battle because we're afraid he might get killed and someone else will marry the woman or move into the house. In the case of the newlywed, we want to enable him to spend time with his wife, so he's exempt even from non-hazardous duties.
This mitzvah applies in Temple times, when we go out to war. It is discussed in the Talmud in tractate Sotah on page 43a and codified in the Mishneh Torah in the seventh chapter of Hilchos Melachim. This mitzvah is #311 of the 365 negative mitzvos in the Rambam's Sefer HaMitzvos.

Rocky Mountains Losing Their Snow
More than 70 million people across the North American West depend on water from the Columbia, Missouri or Colorado Rivers. And 60 to 80 percent of that water originates as snowpack. But that snowpack has been declining in recent decades, a worrisome trend as Western cities continue to grow and water demand rises.
Researchers led by the U.S. Geological Survey, reporting this week in Science, wanted to see if these recent trends are truly unprecedented. So they created snowpack histories for three regions—the upper Colorado, the Northern Rockies and the greater Yellowstone area—by using 66 tree-ring chronologies. Trees record in their patterns of growth (i.e., tree rings) the amount of water available to them during the growing season. In the West, that water is largely controlled by the amount of water in the snowpack, and by concentrating their tree-ring data on trees from areas where the precipitation comes mostly in the form of snow and on trees known to be most sensitive to the snowpack, the scientists were able to create a good record of snowpack levels in the area going back to around 1200 A.D.
The record has plenty of variability—snowpack levels are dependent on many different variables, such as sea surface temperatures, that aren't consistent from year to year. But around 1900, two of the three regions underwent a major decline in snowpack, and then all three dropped precipitously starting around 1980. "Over the past millennium, late-20th century snowpack reductions are almost unprecedented in magnitude across the northern Rocky Mountains," the scientists write. The culprit? "Unprecedented springtime warming due to positive reinforcement of the anthropogenic warming by decadal variability." Translation: climate change.
Last year when I was reporting my story on the Colorado River, Patricia Mulroy, who manages Las Vegas's water, told me that we need a new attitude about water, especially in the West. "It's not abundant, it's not reliable, it's not going to always be there," she said. How many times do we need to be told before it sinks in?

I thought tree ring thickness was determined by length of growing season and thus was a proxy for temperature. It tells us about available water as well? How do they sort out a longer, drier growing season from a shorter, wetter one? Is there a qualitative difference in the tree rings?
I've learned fairly recently just how little people like to listen to anything that doesn't directly affect them. And often-times that counts in to things that directly affect them. Suffice it to say, we will probably never truly adjust our attitudes on the environment as a species, even after we've caused a global emergency. (Though I'd say we qualify for one already.)
Basically, upper-elevation tree rings are affected by temperature more than water, and lower-elevation tree rings are the other way around. So by comparing trees from different areas at the same time, you can determine how much is from water availability and how much is from temperature.
Upper elevations and lower elevations can have radically different temps and rainfall, so the study basically means nothing at all. "A new study shows" is propaganda. No real scientist would stand behind findings unless they were replicated over and over again after being subjected to massive peer review. This study fails every possible scientific test for significant finding.
Really? People are willing to believe this stuff? I live in Wyoming, the snowpack was unprecedented this year all right, in the way that there was so much of it, it became immeasurable! Especially in the Rockies, their snowpack was estimated to produce over 2 million acre of water this year…there is flooding all over the place here in Wyoming because of so much snow…for the first time in memory certain seasonal roads couldn't open in time because they couldn't clear it fast enough since it was even more heavy and wet than usual…sure a few years back it was different…but it's called a drought…it happens to a lot of places…apparently the writer prefers speculation over what is actually happening.
hmm well then it is really sad that signs of anthropogenic warming have been happening since the 1900′s and no one took a step back to change things/attitudes about climate before it became too bad…what was causing it back then? Is anyone doing anything about places like Las Vegas using water for things other than what it's needed for?

Unlikely Figure helps to out Obama as Muslim Brotherhood
Al-Jazeera is reporting on two tweets from a man named Shadi Hamid. The first tweet is a reference to an Egyptian newspaper that identifies Barack Obama as a member of the International Muslim Brotherhood:
Nine minutes later, Hamid tweeted an image of the newspaper article, which features a photo of Obama (Walid will be doing additional research on this in the coming days):
Did you catch that part about the "son of MB leader threatened Obama w- release of 'papers'"? That is an apparent reference to Saad al-Shater, the son of former Muslim Brotherhood presidential candidate, Khairat al-Shater. We direct you to Addendum F of our "Ironclad" report on Egypt's involvement in the Benghazi attack. Multiple reports from Arabic sources indicated that Saad had said his father had documents that were incredibly damaging to Barack Obama.

"Sending "Love Angel" on cavas
Good morning!! Have you seen the recent re-release of the gorgeous Guardian Angels at SCACD?? I adore these angels. They are so versatile and an absolute joy to colour. This is "Sending Love Angel". I decided to pull out a canvas and some paints to create a background. (you can find canvases in the Mixed Media section at SCACD) I used some matte medium to thin my paints out a bit to ease with the blending transitions. "Sending Love Angel" was stamped in Memento Ink and coloured with Copics. Her wings were given a thin coat of Stardust Stickles and she was adhered to the canvas using the matte medium. I am a fan of Neenah paper for colouring with Copics, but thought I'd try out some cheap cardstock I have for using on the interior of my cards. It actually wasn't too bad for blending, but as it has a bit more "tooth" than what I prefer, I don't think I'll reach for it very often. It is however, a thinner paper than Neenah and so it has lower profile when adhered to the canvas.
Skin: E000, E00, E11, R20 Hair: E50, E31, E33, E37, E59 Jeans: B000, B91, B93, B95, B97, C7, C9 Shirt: V01, V12, V15, V9, C7, C9

Case Study: Print Without Printing, Part 3
Unless you live under a rock, you have to recognize that there is probably a new technology being developed somewhere that will do to print what the Kindle and its kin are doing to books. Could electronic paper be print's killer app? Tom Crouser thinks...
No, print is not dead nor will it ever entirely die, but we are taking a beating and the Killer App is lurking. When it hits, we'd individually better be dealing with the new realities of print without printing. Last month I related the significant downward pressures on our business. Now here's my vision of the thing that will be most disruptive to our world: electronic paper or a receiver that comes close to emulating it.
"Yeah, but," I hear all the defenders of print (and I'm one) saying, "there is still a strong dependence on the printed page for reading and absorbing content." True. But what if there was an improvement in receivers? What if smart people in garages and laboratories, to paraphrase Bill Gates, develop a reusable receiver that feels and acts like paper?
Already Here
In September 2008, Xerox gave folks at NextFest a peek at reusable paper. They imaged paper and then ran it through again, which removed the old image and put a new image in its place. Not perfect, but it was a step. Mainly, the focus there was to reduce the amount of paper used for transient duplicates or copies that aren't needed forever. Xerox estimated those to be as much as 70% of everything reproduced (printed). Hmm. Okay, that's not going to be the killer app for printing, but many printers don't know that it is even possible.
The Killer App, in my view, would be practical electronic paper. This electronic paper would feel and act similar to paper, but would not be physically imaged. It would receive images wirelessly or through secondary means such as a thumb drive-type device. Want a new car brochure? A PDF is sent to you wirelessly and you display it on your electronic paper. Print it on your printer for archival storage if you wish, but since most things are transient documents, you would more likely clear it and display something else. Of course, you could somehow store the PDF for later viewing again if you wanted.
Now this concept shouldn't come as a shock to you and I don't claim any originality or great ability to foresee the future because companies have been working on this concept for some 40 years—companies like Sony, IBM, Hewlett-Packard, E Ink, Philips, Fujitsu, Hitachi, Siemens, Epson, and others. Xerox worked on a project like that until 2005 when it was shut down, apparently for corporate financial reasons.
Will someone succeed in developing it? I have no inside track, but my view is that a disruptive device similar to electronic paper is probable, and it could come sooner rather than later. Look at how books have been impacted by the Kindle, and where can that go? The Kindle is already the Killer App when it comes to books.
Bear with me a moment. If, and I stress if, someone did perfect electronic paper, what would be the effect on us? I don't know of anyone who thinks it would be positive. Rather, it would continue the negative trend and more printing would begin the decline, along with the business cards, maps, coupons, newsletters, and more that we discussed last month.
Timeline of Doom
So what does our end game look like? I see a world with a lot less printing (duplicates). Those of us who stay on the exact duplicate field will continue to see more commoditization, less work, and more price pressure until we are no longer viable.
How soon? For that estimate, I look to our newspaper cousins. Many industry supporting pontificators say printed newspapers will last another 35 years. Others say they won't last that long. Now, that tells me that even newspaper industry supporters recognize that sometime between today and 35 years from now there will be receiver technology that will knock off printed newspapers. I then infer that by the time that happens, printing (duplicates) will suffer a similar demise.
And here's the logic behind when I think it will happen.
I take the newspaper industry supporters' estimate of 35 years and divide the time into four parts. One fourth or the 25th percentile between tomorrow and 35 years would be 8.75 years, the 50th percentile would be 17.5 years, and the 75th would be 26.25 years.

Frequent Questions
About Medical IDs
What is a medical ID?
A medical ID provides information which could save your life in an emergency. With medical conditions, drug and food allergies, prescribed medicines and emergency contacts engraved onto the surface, a medical ID bracelet or necklace guides paramedics and doctors in giving you appropriate, timely diagnosis and treatment when you cannot speak for yourself.
Who should wear a medical ID?
People with a wide range of conditions are recommended to wear medical IDs to alert healthcare professionals in an emergency. The following are good reasons to wear a medical ID:
Do emergency staff even look for a medical ID?
American Medical ID recently surveyed emergency healthcare professionals in the United States, including first responders and paramedics. The survey found that:
Who recommends a medical ID?
Doctors and healthcare organizations throughout the world recommend medical IDs.
When should I wear my medical ID?
You should always wear your medical ID so it can alert healthcare professionals in case on an unexpected emergency.
What are the benfits of wearing a medical ID?
In an emergency, when you might be unable to speak for yourself, a medical ID bracelet or necklace protects you by speaking for you. Lack of information about medical conditions can be dangerous.
The US study found that more than 95 percent of emergency medical responders look for a medical ID; more than 75 percent check for a medical ID immediately upon assessing a patient. If you are wearing medical alert jewellery it won't be missed.
They eliminate trips to the hospital, reduce unnecessary hospital admissions and prevent minor emergencies from escalating.
Engraving a Medical ID
What medical conditions should be on a medical ID?
Below are examples of medical conditions which warrant wearing a medical ID.
Should medicines be listed on my medical ID?
If space permits, we recommend listing prescription medicines taken on a long-term or maintenance basis. This will give medical personnel better guidance for initiating treatment and will lessen the chance of a drug interaction.
Some classes of medicines that are appropriate for a medical ID are:
Should I list allergies on my medical ID?
Yes. Allergic reactions to drugs, foods and insects can cause serious medical problems. A medical ID informs medics of an allergy, allowing for rapid response to a serious allergic reaction.
Allergens are numerous. Some common examples include:
What other information can be placed on my medical ID?
With space permitting, anything can be engraved on your medical ID,including:
I'm not sure how my medical ID should be engraved. What do I do?
If you need help deciding what to engrave, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
If you need help phrasing a medical condition so that it will fit on your medical ID and still be recognised by emergency care givers, please contact the Customer Service team by using our Live Chat and we will assist you.
Must I put my name on my medical ID?
Engraving your name on your medical ID is a matter of personal preference. However, listing at least a first name is recommended. In an emergency, EMRs and doctors will say a person's name in an effort to get his or her attention if the person is, for example, in a daze, a diabetic coma or unconscious.
We recommend that medical alert jewellery engraved for an Alzheimer's patient include his or her name and address or the address of a caregiver or family member.

Other Questions
Once engraved can I add information to my medical ID?
We advise only engraving information that is unlikely to change because information on your medical ID, once engraved, cannot be removed or changed.
Why does it take so long to make a medical ID?
Our medical IDs are custom-engraved and custom-sized to reflect our customers exact requests. Considering we strive for accuracy and quality, once an order has been received and the medical ID has been engraved, the order is examined multiple times ensuring complete accuracy. The jewellery is then polished and packaged with care before it is sent to the customer.
Should I tell my doctor that I purchased a medical ID?
We encourage our customers to tell their doctors that they have purchased a medical ID.
When you receive your Universal Medical ID bracelet or necklace, you will find with it a Healthcare Provider Approval Card. At your next visit, show your doctor your medical ID and give him or her the Healthcare Provider Approval Card.

Late Night Coffee Brined Chicken
Author Notes: Early in the week, I knew I wanted to combine coffee and orange. Yesterday, after sitting in my fridge defrosting for a day and a half, my whole chicken whispered to me "it's now or never." Since it was Wednesday, I did not have time for an overnight brine, so turned to Michael Ruhlman's quick brine. Substituting hot, freshly brewed coffee for water, I added cloves, star anise, whole black pepper and fresh oranges to the brine. Okay, brine finished, now how to proceed? A while back, I adapted Jamie Oliver's Chicken in Milk recipe and remembered how incredibly tender the finished chicken turned out. This time, with the coffee brine, cooking the chicken in milk seemed to make sense, and just to round out the coffee-milk pair, I rubbed the brined chicken in brown sugar before browning in a little butter. I was curious to see how it would turn out, and frankly a little nervous. When I took the chicken out at midnight, after an hour and forty minutes, the chicken was dark, splitting and sitting in a pool of rich sauce. Although not the prettiest bird I've ever seen to come forth from the oven, it was rich and flavorful, extremely tender (falling off the bone!) with sweet and smoky undertones. - gingerroot
- gingerroot
Food52 Review: We nicknamed this recipe "Breakfast Chicken," since it includes all three arms of the morning triumvirate: coffee, orange juice and milk. Like pork braised in milk, gingerroot's roast chicken emerges from the pot tender and melting, and it has a beautiful burnished exterior wherever the skin hasn't been submerged in the liquid. The spiced coffee and orange brine infuses the meat with a smoky fragance -- the flavor is subtle but discernable, and unlike anything we can recall. - A&M - A&M
Serves 4
For the Chicken
- 1 4 -5 lb whole organic chicken
- 2 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 cups 1% milk
For the Coffee brine
- 1/2 liter hot, freshly brewed bold coffee
- 3 ounces kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons whole black peppercorn
- 3 star anise
- 1 teaspoon whole cloves
- 2 juicy navel oranges, halved
- 15 ounces ice
- Combine salt, peppercorns, star anise, and cloves in a small pot. Lightly crush spices with the back of a large spoon. Squeeze orange halves over mixture, and then add halves. Pour hot coffee over mixture, stir and cover pot with lid. Allow brine to steep for ten minutes.
- Meanwhile, pat chicken dry, removing giblets and neck. Place chicken in a 2 gallon sized zip lock or other plastic bag.
- Place the ice in a large bowl. Add coffee brine and stir until ice melts. Pour brine in bag with chicken (including oranges), seal and allow mixture to sit at room temperature for two to three hours. Then pat chicken dry and let it dry out for an hour in a bowl placed in the refrigerator.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Remove chicken from refrigerator, pat dry and rub both sides with brown sugar.
- Heat butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat, brown chicken on both sides. Add milk, cover, and transfer to oven. Cook for an hour with the lid. Remove lid. Continue to cook for another 30-40 minutes, or until internal temperature of chicken is 165 degrees.
- Pull meat off the bones and serve with wilted greens and rice. Be sure to spoon some of the sauce over the meat, if desired.

I am trying this recipe for the second time... I was unable to find Star Anise in my area so I used anise extract it has worked well for me. I am doing the over night suggestions but with skinless boneless chicken breasts... I will let you know how it turns out.

I tried this recipe last night. What a disapointment! So much time and money (organic chicken 18 bucks, whole foods) spent on a bad recipe. Tasted like star anise and cloves. No orange flavor no coffee flavor, just a mess of pumpin spice on my chicken. Just awful.
about 1 month ago gingerroot
So sorry to hear that it did not turn out for you. Thanks for letting me know.
3 months ago crazbs
Not even close! I think the milk action and roasting in the oven are what make this recipe so wonderful. Doing it this way makes it super moist and gives it a ton of flavor. Also, I mix up some flour and water and make gravy with the broth which everyone loves. I'm sure the chicken would be good done on a rotisserie, it just wouldn't be the same end result as the original.
3 months ago mike
How would recipe work on rotisserie or BBQ w/out the milk action?
6 months ago Wendall
Truly delicious - softly and gorgeously aromatic. The chicken was incredibly moist and succulent and the coffee and orange were subtle flavours that, unless you knew they were there, you'd probably struggle to identify separately, but together made the most sublime taste and aroma. This recipe is definitely a keeper. Thank you for posting it!

Ooh, coconut milk does sound good!! And I love that you crisped/browned up the skin under the broiler. Thanks so much for letting me know.
8 months ago pigisyummy
gingerroot, I'm wondering if you think this can be made in a 2 1/2 deep roasting pan. I'm currently living in a temporary, furnished apt so this kitchen is not well stocked vessel-wise and the first time I made this was in a stainless steal pot that was probably only a half inch wider and taller than the bird itself, so I'm sure the liquid came up higher than it would have in a wider and possibly shallower dutch oven. I want to make this for a dinner party, which would mean making 2 birds and the only thing I have that can accommodate that is the roasting pan. How high up on the birds should the liquid be as you've designed it? Also, the roasting pan is without a lid, so I was just going to seal with foil. You think that would work? thx!
8 months ago gingerroot
Hi pigisyummy, Hm. I think the liquid came up about 1 1/2-2 inches (total approximation as I have not made this recipe in a while). My only worry would be that if your chickens are significantly higher than the pan, if you cover the pan with foil, it will stick to the chicken. What if you spatchcocked the birds so they'd be compressed in the pan? The cooking time would be significantly shorter but given your pan situation might work better. I don't see why sealing the pan tightly with foil would not work -- in any case, please report back if you do try two birds in a roasting pan...I'd love to know the result! Glad you enjoyed the recipe!

Perfect Rhion. Thank you. The chicken is relaxing in the brine right now and will continue to do so for the next 24 hr. Excited to see how this turns out. Thanks for all your help.
11 months ago Garry Higgins
Thank you for the responses. Can i let this brine sit overnight if I wanted to?
11 months ago rhion
Depends on whatcha mean: If you mean just the coffee/spice brine without the chicken, you can let it sit for a week or so in the fridge without worry. Probably longer, but I wouldn't let it go quite that long. If you mean with the chicken in it, then please, by all means, let it sit/soak for a day or two to get the full flavour into the chicken. Just make sure the container is covered, and you let it sit in the fridge rather than a counter top (just covering bases here)
11 months ago Bevi
A starch that will absorb the sauce? GR suggests rice. You could also make couscous, quinoa, any type of rice. She also suggest wilted greens - maybe kale collards, swiss chard or spinach?
11 months ago Garry Higgins
Any suggestions on what to have with this. Please?
11 months ago rhion
I used asparagus, nice and crunchy with a little lemon and black pepper and butter. Then half a sweet potato with just a drizzle of honey on it. And for fluffy starch the gravy was added to Israeli style couscous.
11 months ago gingerroot
Hi Garry, Sorry my reply is late. The savory sauce would pair well with any starch - next time I make it I may serve it with potatoes. Roasted vegetables would also be a good match. Whatever you decide, I hope you enjoy it!

I made this, but of course with some modifications. I cold brewed my ESPRESSO, brined overnight - AND I rubbed fresh coffee grounds into the chicken before putting it in the brine. Thus far it is yielding two gorgeous cornish hens that smell heavenly. I am also using buttermilk instead of straight milk for the milk part of the recipe, which means I was able to add a bit of the brine to milk without fear of curdling.
12 months ago gingerroot
I love your modifications, rhion, and will have to try the cold brew route next time. Thanks for letting me know and happy holidays!
12 months ago crazbs
Great Gingerroot, thanks for getting back to me. I will try it in the fridge(especially since it is well over 90% where I am most days)and let you know how it turns out. What do you think of doing it in the fridge overnight if you have the time? Do you think that the coffee would make it bitter if it was left to brine for that long? Thanks for your help!
12 months ago gingerroot
Hi crazbs, I'm so glad you are going to try it! The question of letting it brine overnight has come up before. I've never done it myself, and also worried that it would be too bitter as a result. However, check out brainsausage's comments below...seems like it's worth a try!
12 months ago crazbs
I know that you can brine it in a cooler or in the refrigerator but this recipe specifically says to let it sit at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours. It seems like the person that came up with this recipe must have had a reason for that but it just doesn't sound safe. I'm wondering what their reasons would be for not doing it in the refrigerator.
12 months ago gingerroot
Hi crazbs! Sorry I didn't reply yesterday - I'm up to my chin in chaotic holiday preparations - anyway, here's my rationale for this recipe. I knew I wanted to try a coffee brine but did not have the time to do it overnight (the posting deadline for this particular contest was early the next day Hawaii Standard Time). So, I did a quick internet search to see if there was a "quick brine" recipe that I could adapt. I found Michael Ruhlman's Quick Brine recipe for chicken: http://ruhlman.com/2010.... Since I'm somewhat of a novice when it comes to brining, I trusted his expertise and knowledge of cooking and food safety. If you read through the comments on his recipe, you'll see that there are other people that question letting the chicken sit out for 2-3 hours and his rationale is that if you start with a good quality chicken, that, plus the double strength salt brine, plus the fact that you are thoroughly cooking the chicken, any potential danger of bad bacteria is not a concern. However, if you still feel uncomfortable, I'd say brine it in the fridge and let me know how it turns out! I hope you enjoy it. Happy Holidays.
12 months ago Scootermama
Or brine it in a cooler if the bird is still somewhat frozen. We do this with turkeys. Gotta try this, it sounds fabulous!
12 months ago gingerroot
Thanks, Scootermama! Hope you enjoy it if you do. Happy Holidays!
12 months ago crazbs
Leave chicken at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours?? This goes against everything I have ever heard about safely handling chicken. Also, I have always heard that if you are going to brine something for that long you should do it in the refrigerator so can you please tell me why this is safe. The recipe sounds great and I would like to try it but this concerns me.
12 months ago Warp10Len
Assuming the bird had been refrigerated up until the time you begin working with it, two hours at room temperature is fine -- even under the stringent requirements of the USPHS Code. Three hours, however, is not kosher (or legal).
