Farmers Market Reopening
The Lansdale Farmers' Market opens for its second season on Saturday. A member of the committee that runs it, Molly Daveler (pictured here), says they have a new location on Railroad Avenue this year.
"We have tons more space over there, lots of shade, and it also gives us the opportunity to do a new children's activity. On the first Saturday of every month we'll be having a story time at 9:30. We're very excited about it. We have a ton of new vendors this year, twice as many vendors, which we're very pleased about, so lots of new and exciting things."
She says the market is best-known for locally-grown fruits and vegetables, but it's much more than that.
"We also have plenty of baked goods, herbs, honey. We have a lot of local crafters and people that do very fun artistic things."
Daveler says the market will have a few early crops including spinach, lettuce and strawberries, along with plants and flowers. The Lansdale Farmers' Market opens at 9:00 Saturday morning, June 12.

As always, Sammy has a smile and so glad they are open again for the season. Love the greek salad and ask for extra pita, it is fantastic

I'm kinda addicted to "real" Gyros meat and sandwiches, and this is the only place I know of in the greater Wilmington area that has real Gyros meat.

I see mixed reviews here, but this place has been a "can't miss" every time I've visited. I think the gyros are excellent. The meat is fresh, hot, and plentiful. Overall, you get a nice sized gyro to chow down on for lunch or dinner. My wife has also gotten the chicken gyro, and that was a winner as well.... More
Loved the Gyro and fries. Only downside was that smelled like cooking grease after sitting in the dining room to eat.
The gyro was bland, the lamb did not come from the spit-type rack that I'm used to, which would be truly authentic. Not even good for quick beach food, self serve cafeteria style, and way over priced.
I enjoyed a gyro on one of the last days before this property closed for the season. It was recommended by a friend and it did not disappoint. I rated it average because it met my criteria for a nice lunch but was not outstanding. But, the prices were good, service friendly and professional and nice for a quick meal.
Huge well stuffed gyros, and the meat was tender and juicey, not hard and dry. Very reasonably priced as well. Good baklava too!

Award-Winning Army Pharmacist Touts Benefits of Military Service
- Categorized in: December 2011
WASHINGTON — When Army pharmacist Maj. Jeffrey Neigh joined the military, it was initially as a way to pay off his school debts.
"I went to Duquesne [University] … in Pittsburgh. I would not have been able to afford to go there without the military. My full intent was to come in and do my four years and get out," he said. "It is 11 years later, and that did not happen."
Maj. Jeffery Neigh |
In fact, Neigh not only chose to stay in the military as a pharmacist, but he was recently named the 2011 Next-Generation Pharmacist, an award presented by Parata Systems and Pharmacy Times. The award "recognizes a pharmacist who demonstrates an uncompromising focus on advancing patient care, dedication to the pharmacy in which he or she works and the strongest commitment to advancing the pharmacy industry overall," according to the award program. The nationwide program recognizes top pharmacists from around the country in different categories. Neigh also won the "military pharmacist of the year" category, which included 35 nominees from all three military services.
"I think it is great for the military for someone to be selected for this honor simply because it gets us out on the forefront and shows people that pharmacists in the military are at the forefront of what is going on in the profession," he said. "It is fun to show them that, though we wear camouflage to work, we are still as clinical as any other pharmacist out there."
Neigh said that, while he had participated in ROTC in college, he still did not really know what pharmacists did in the military. Later, he found out how much more he could do as a pharmacist in the military than elsewhere.
"A lot of my friends went into retail pharmacy and after a year they were burnt out," he said. "Whereas, some days I was doing inpatient pharmacy, some days outpatient pharmacy. I was also doing some clinical work and doing some administration."
The variety of opportunities is what he has thrived on, he said. Most recently, he served as the deputy chief of pharmacy at Eisenhower Army Medical Center, Fort Gordon, GA. While there, he helped implement the Army-wide Warrior Transition Pharmacy Oversight Program, which involves safety reviews of more than 400 patient profiles weekly. At the time, there was not much guidance on how to do this, he explained.
"It has really worked well to provide oversight on the medications these soldiers are on. The program has since morphed and changed and really gotten much broader from where we have started it," he said.
Now, he said, each warrior-transition program site has a dedicated pharmacist to run it and pharmacists are able to help prevent overdoses, ensure that troops are not taking an unsafe medication regimen and, working with physicians, develop good pain-management protocols for the patients. They work closely with military leadership on the cases.
"They provide good oversight and a lot of education to the soldiers who are in charge of these warriors in transition, because most of these folks who are their squad leaders and company commanders have no medical background," he said.
Neigh began his career at Fort Hood, TX, where he was chief of the inpatient and outpatient facilities serving 35,000 active-duty soldiers. While there, he deployed to Kuwait, serving as chief of pharmacy with the 21st Combat Support Hospital. He went on to do a residency at Brooke Army Medical Center, Fort Sam Houston, TX, and Wilford Hall Medical Center, Lackland Air Force Base, TX, and became the chief of clinical pharmacy. Neigh was awarded the Albert B. Prescott Leadership Award in 2010.
One of the biggest challenges, he said, is making sure that military pharmacy is adequately staffed.
"We have such high turnover because our staff is moving every three years. You are always having to restart, and sometimes you cannot always carry everything through, just because you run out of time, but I think that is true of any profession in the military," he said.
While he is still currently on active duty, he is pursuing a master's degree in business administration and healthcare administration in full-time study.
"I talk to a lot of pharmacists getting ready to graduate that do not know what military pharmacy offers," he said. "I tell them that I love that you can do what you want to do. If you want to learn a specific skill in pharmacy, you typically have that opportunity. Even if you come in and do your four years and get out, you are going to be so well-rounded."

New York Times reporter Judith Miller went to jail this week for refusing to reveal confidential sources. The attorney for Miller and the Times is Floyd Abrams, who spoke with The Journal about the case, about his career, and also about his new book, "Speaking Freely: Trials of the First Amendment."
Miller faced imprisonment after the U.S. Supreme Court last week refused to hear her appeal and also an appeal by another reporter, Matthew Cooper of Time Magazine. A judge had held both reporters in contempt for not talking to the grand jury probing an alleged leak by someone in the Bush administration. The investigation centers on who may have violated federal law by disclosing the identity of a covert CIA agent. The leak of the agent's name, Valerie Plame, could have been retaliation, because it occurred shortly after Plame's husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, became a public critic of the Bush administration.
Cooper avoided jail time after agreeing to testify. He said his confidential source had, at the last moment, given him clearance to answer questions. Miller could remain in custody for as long as four months - until the grand jury completes its term.
In the interview, Abrams also talked of the Jewish perspective in his legal work, and about his role this year as an adviser to a Columbia University committee assembled following high-profile allegations of campus anti-Semitism.

With my Go! Baby and Diamond die, I also got the Circle die with 2", 3", and 5" circles. For this project, I stuck to the 5", which was really convenient for all my leftover 5" squares from my zig-zag quilt…
After sending the fabric through the cutter to get these lovely circles, I also sent some batting through the cutter. I only did one layer at a time, but by golly, do I have perfect batting circles!
Layer 2 fabric circles RST, and plop one of the batting circles on top.
Then, sew the layers together, leaving a 1/12" opening. Small opening! But doable!
Pink your edges, or trim them so they are about 1/8", everywhere except your opening. Trim your batting to about 1/8" so it eliminates bulk in the opening.
Ok, flip that sucker right side out, and give it a good ironing! Make sure it is as nice and round as you can get it.
Carefully fold your opening edges in towards the center, making it curve like the rest of the coaster. Iron to set your folds and keep them in place.
Stitch around the entire circle at 1/8", catching that opening as you go. You can leave it as is…
Or add some fun quilting to make it more exciting. I noticed that as I quilted, it didn't lay as flat. I should probably iron it a bit more :)
Anyway, repeat as many times as necessary to get your self a set (or sets!) of fabric coasters.
I think I'll have to make a little bag next to put them in, don't you think?
Or maybe let my kids play with them a bit first…
This is a really, really easy project- especially with my Go! Baby! I cut lots of circles, for these fabric coasters and for another project I'll share another time… but it took me 5 minutes to pick fabric and cut 28 circles. Yeah. Mm hmm.

Alpharetta High School
3595 Webb Bridge Road
Alpharetta, GA 30005
Map It!
Alpharetta High School exemplifies a well-designed and constructed building that is operated in a conscientious manner. Alpharetta is one of seven high performance high schools that have opened in Fulton County School System since 1996. The foundation for Alpharetta's outstanding energy performance is a building design that incorporates best practices in all building systems, ranging from building envelope to lighting to heating ventilation, air conditioning, and controls. The building designers, Perkins+Will Architects, in partnership with Spurlock and Associates, are committed to adopting proven, cost-effective energy efficiency strategies. The efficient building systems are further assisted by the sustainable manner in which the school staff operates the buildings. Lights are turned off in unoccupied areas and HVAC systems are only operated when required for building activities.
Alpharetta High School is the top-rated school of 41 school buildings in Fulton County School System to earn the ENERGY STAR in 2008. This remarkable commitment to energy efficiency applies to both new and existing buildings. In addition to building efficient new schools such as Alpharetta High School, Fulton County School System has renovated several schools using funding from a Special Local Option Sales Tax. The renovations have incorporated many of the same best practices applied to the new schools, including technologies such as high efficiency water source heat pumps, high efficiency boilers, variable volume pumping, desiccant-based energy recovery units for outside air supplies, variable volume air supply systems, occupancy sensors, day-lighting, and reflective roof surfaces. In 2000, the school system completed a system-wide lighting retrofit that converted all fluorescent lighting from magnetically ballasted T-12 lamps to high efficiency electronically ballasted T-8 lamps and replaced most of the incandescent lighting with T-8 or compact fluorescent lamps.
Fulton County Schools is committed to good stewardship of natural resources and the taxpayers funding through the operation of efficient buildings while maintaining high levels of building occupant comfort.
-- Interview for the local county TV channel.
-- School news release during National Energy Awareness month highlighting the school.
-- Highlighted during the Superintendent's report.
-- Presentation of the ENERGY STAR plaque to the school.
"Alpharetta High School was designed to qualify for LEED accreditation, but the school system chose not to conduct the prerequisite commissioning that would have enabled the building to achieve LEED accreditation. However, the school's robust Building Automation System assisted the school system's facilities services staff in achieving some level of initial commissioning and provides for ongoing monitoring of conditions and operations of many of the most energy-intensive systems in the school."
-- Joseph Clements, Executive Director, Facilities Services

Checklist for Best Control Valve Performance
The threshold sensitivity and resolution of measurements (smallest incremental change) has improved dramatically to better than 0.05% with new sensor technology and smart compensation of extraneous effects of operating conditions. The response of the air-actuated control valve has improved, but the smallest incremental change in position varies widely depending upon...
What is the key PID feature for Basic and Advanced Control?
The value of a key PID feature is increasingly becoming apparent. I got a preview of the importance when I found the 1980s vintage DCS required a fix for override control that was inherently addressed in the next generation of DCS by this feature.
What do New Automation Engineers Want to Know?
The questions submitted by the 10 worldwide participants in ISA Mentor program are refreshing and cause one to stand back and think about how we do things and how can we convey knowledge we take for granted.
How can you Quickly Increase Production Rate and Efficiency? (Part 4)
We conclude this series with a look at control schemes that can increase process efficiency for distillation control, compressor control, and neutralizer control. These control schemes can inherently reduce process variability and controller tuning difficulty and for compressors increase onstream time.
How can you Quickly Increase Production Rate and Efficiency? (Part 3)
What configuration changes to control strategies can readily take advantage of improvements in measurements and final control elements? Control strategies can inherently improve production rate by maximizing feed and efficiency by enforcing material and energy balances.
How can you Quickly Increase Production Rate and Efficiency? (Part 2)
Process efficiency can be increased by eliminating the excess use of reactants, reagents, and energy, eliminating the production of waste and off-spec material, and taking advantage of low energy and raw material sources. Not well recognized is effect of sensor drift and location, missing measurements, abnormal operation, process understanding, control...
How can you Quickly Increase Production Rate and Efficiency? (Part 1)
When we saw an increase in production rate needed during opportunity assessments at Monsanto and Solutia, we would salivate. Impressive results could be obtained in a matter of a few days by a simple change in setpoint, tuning, and/or configuration.
What are the Best Wireless Settings?
The best wireless settings provide an effective compromise between the need to maximize battery life and meet loop performance objectives. Since power consumption is greatest in transmitting an update, battery life can be significantly extended by reducing unnecessary updates.
How Can You Increase the Rate Time in Temperature Loops?
Temperature loops benefit more than most loops from the use of derivative action. The rate time can be 1/2 of the total loop deadtime or larger by the use of a wireless smart transmitter, the enhanced PID for wireless, and a proper installation location and thermowell design.
What is the Best Transmitter Damping or Signal Filter Setting?
A transmitter damping setting or signal filter setting that is too slow can not only degrade performance but also cause trips. Less understood is that a large filter setting can mislead operations into thinking the filter has helped rather than hurt the process.

Every year I get more and more excited about cooking with the seasons and enjoying fruits and vegetables at their peak. We've been buying strawberries almost every week since they started showing up in the grocery stores. I'm sooo ready to stop buying apples and pears for a while.
My husband usually doesn't like strawberry salads but we've had this one quite a few times already and he loves it. As do I. The flavours meld so wonderfully together and just sing of spring.
I created this recipe for my friend Aimée from Simple Bites who's having a Salute Spring! series on her blog this week. Make sure to check it out for more yummy ways to celebrate spring.
"I have an early childhood memory of stumbling upon some wild strawberries on the top of a hill. They were so teeny tiny but I remember them being the best strawberries I had ever tasted. I'm sure in the mind of a four year old discovering wild strawberries and picking them on your own automatically qualifies them as tasting The Best!"
You can read more and get the recipe on Simple Bites. I'd love to see you there!

Isuru Udana, the left-arm fast bowler, has been picked in Sri Lanka's 15-man squad for the five ODIs against India, which begins on July 21. Udana, 24, has played six Twenty20s for Sri Lanka, but is yet to debut in one-dayers.
Batsman Chamara Kapugedera, who last played for Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup in March, has made a comeback. Left-arm spinner Rangana Herath, who was rested for the final three ODIs against Pakistan, is also back in the squad.
Sri Lanka squad for India ODIs |
Fast bowlers Dilhara Fernando and Nuwan Pradeep, and spinner Sajeewa Weerakoon - who came in as a replacement for Herath - are the players to miss out from the squad that played against Pakistan.
Udana had played five of his six Twenty20 internationals in 2009, before being recalled for the Twenty20s against Pakistan last month. In first-class cricket in the 2011-12 season, he had picked up 26 wickets at an average of 25.76 for Tamil Union Cricket and Athletic Club. He is currently playing a tri-series with Sri Lanka A in Harare, against Zimbabwe and South Africa.
Kapugedera has been in and out of the Sri Lanka team. Last year, he played the home series against West Indies and was picked in the World Cup squad. He was then sidelined for almost a year, before making a comeback in the Commonwealth Bank Series in Australia earlier this year: he was called up to the squad for three finals of the CB series, after Sri Lanka suffered several injury blows. He also played the Asia Cup that followed - he was out for a duck against India, and scored 62 in a losing cause to Bangladesh - before being left out for the limited-overs games against Pakistan. Kapugedera, too, is currently playing the tri-series in Zimbabwe.

text: Having a vision for nation and self is recognized as an important trait for Native leadership. Envision a path that guides your people to a place of well-being, and you might be entrusted with the responsibility of leading them there. In this sense, vision is understood to be directed outward. What about when a leader's gaze is turned inward? When Native Leaders look at their people, what do they see and how does it affect their actions?

A live concert allows you to see your favorite musicians pour their hearts out onto the stage. But what distinguishes one rock concert from the next? Perhaps it is the towering flames, roller coaster-style drum kits, crazy laser attacks, flying harnessed frontmen, and huge explosions. All we're saying is, if you're going to be partially deaf on the way home in the hours following a rock concert, it might as well be worth it!
Here's our list of the Top 5 Crazy Stage Shows that Rock!
1. U2 (360 Degrees Tour)
Give U2 an entire arena to itself and it will use the entire thing, literally! Most recently, the band's 360 Degrees Tour featured a truly all-encompassing set design that allowed fans to see the stage no matter where they were seated. The band has all sorts of stage props and designs, not to mention a ton of special effects for everyone to lose themselves in, along with the awesome music, of course. And don't expect them to always stay on the stage either…
2. Motley Crue
Motley Crue doesn't really care to hide its "Wild Side." The random chopper motorcycles, trapezing women, and blasting pyrotechnics are standard fare for the unapologetic ensemble of bad boys; but Tommy Lee playing the drums upside down? That takes 'bad' to a new level!
3. Metallica
Metallica's stage show might as well be another member of the band. The pyrotechnics, lights and digital effects seem all too fitting when the infamous metal group is up there rocking, and despite a few mishaps through the years, these guys have it down to an artform!
NSFW: Swearing
4. Marilyn Manson
We'll give him this: Marilyn Manson can sure make heads turn. The shock rocker lives to entertain, and he certainly does. He likes to use the trifecta of stage elements (lights, pyrotechnics, digital display), but what is usually the most fascinating is Manson himself!
The digital age has elevated special effects to new heights, but amidst all the pizzaz, four flashing letters above the stage, awesome face paint and getups, and some high-octane metal are just about all one band needs to rock a show. KISS has been jammin' for decades, proving time and time again that they ARE the show.
Honorable Mentions: Rush, Muse, Gwar, Rob Zombie and Slipknot.

On The Blog
Vulnerability is difficult, when our culture thrives on individualism. This culture tells us that we are the creators of our reality, a societal standard that has seeped into the church, creating a standard of self-reliance and individualism.
It is not the cashier's job to share the church's story of God coming to the world. This story of the incarnation of God is my story to tell, the church's story to tell, all of Christ's followers story to tell.
God had seemed absent, hiding in the shadows of painful circumstances. But it turns out he was with me all the time, and was taking each horrible, painful detail and working it for good.
Santa as a model to imitate: He gives gifts for the joy of it and so should we.
What makes one a good person? Additionally, what makes one a good Christian? I have been spending some time wondering about this as news of Mandela's death has been making it's way across the planet. Was he a good man? I think so, but how do we measure that? How do we know? And if, as some have claimed, his greatness stemmed from his willing embodiment of his Christian faith, I need to know if he was a good Christian.
By its nature, love has no minimums and no limits. It challenges the assumptions and the motivations behind all of our behaviors. Love leaves no part of our lives untouched.
We tend to think of peace as the absence of conflict and violence, the end of all suffering. But if peace requires such impossible circumstances to exist, we'll never realize it.
As a person who would say that Jesus is the most important thing in my life, who has devoted my life to the service of God's Kingdom, and spends all of my waking moments trying be faithful to that devotion, I have to ask: "What exactly do we mean by putting the 'Christ back in Christmas'?"
Despite Katy Perry's "Unconditional" love song, in real life, romantic feelings are highly conditional. They come and they go. But God's love is unconditional.
In response to the passing of Nelson Mandela, Jim Wallis, President of Sojourners, issued the following statement.
Christianity is great, but not everything we say or believe about it is necessarily true
After nearly 10 years in the U.S., my husband and I have spent hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars on paperwork and travel to keep our visas current. We have been retina scanned and fingerprinted; we have submitted exhausting and exhaustive records of every job we've ever held, every school we ever studied at, and the names and addresses of every person we are related to.

Needed a cane, but canes were too short!
By ruthoshay
from Utah
About Me Casual/ Recreational
Comments about LEKI Sierra Anti-Shock Pole (single):
I am an adult with Muscular Dystrophy(FSHD), still able to walk, but not without some challenges. I have tried a number of canes & walking sticks, but this one lets me adjust the hieght, is light wieght, has an adjustable wrist strap which gives me additional leverage, & has a rounded top which is comfortable to lean on to rest. This can be especially helpful if I get stuck waiting in a long line. TSA does not hassel me about taking it on board the plane, & I'm able to store it in the over-head compartment fully extended. When walking, I am able to balance more fully to prevent falls. I'm careful where I store it when it is not in use, as people like to play with it and are curious with the anti-shock system. If this stick is NOT put in guarded place or position when not in use, people could accidentally trip over it or step on it and end up bending it (this is why I only gave it 4 stars). After purchasing my first pole, I got another one to keep in my car permanantly so I'd never be without one. I get a lot of compliments, and people want to know where they can get themselves one.
Comment on this review
Excellent trekking pole
By farquar1000
from Waco, TX
I bought one of these poles last December because it had a camera mount under the top knob. The pole works great and I really like the slight compression it gives when I walk/hike. I liked it so much that I bought this one so I would have a matched pair for stick walking which my wife and I just began doing. Comfortable, lightweight and performs consistently and exactly as expected.
Good travel stick, light duty
By Doc
from Las Vegas, Nevada
About Me Military/Law Enforcement
This walking staff is just OK. Not exceptionally robust. A good walking stick, I don't know if I would depend on it for mountain walking. It collapses neatly which would make it easy to pack for an airplane trip. I have the TRACKS Sherlock hiking staff which is very robust and will withstand almost all conditions. It depends upon what your needs are. I would not trust the Leki to support my 160 lbs going down a steep incline.

Poor retails sales will slow US economic recovery
Retail spending has decreased for a second consecutive month which will mean the unemployment rate will remain high, which in turn will harm economic growth. Officials from the Federal Reserve acknowledged the situation and said that they were taking steps to ensure that the US economy would continue to recover in the future. Americans are likely to continue spending more cautiously at a time when consumer spending is vital to economic growth, especially as it accounts for over two thirds of economic activity. Many economists have expressed serious concerns over the continued high unemployment rates, the struggling housing industry and the turbulent stock markets.
The poor retail sales values for June come at a time when businesses are working at a reduced pace. The Commerce Department has reported a 0.1 percent rise in business inventories in May but with sales declining by 0.9 percent, which was the first such fall since the end of the first quarter of 2009.
According to a meeting on June 22-23, Feds are likely to cut their growth forecasts for the last two quarters of 2010 from around 3.45 percent to 3.25 percent, in light of the current economic conditions. Many policymakers were cautious about the global financial situation, which involves a major debt crisis taking place in Europe and a volatile Wall St and were keen to look for new options to improve the US economy and improve credit score of the middle class to encourage spending. These options may include renewing mortgage security programs, reducing the government's debt or lowering the rate in which Feds are paid emergency loans by the banks. Last year, businesses initiated the first stages of the economic recovery as they expanded their stocks after the recession. From now on, the key to a full recovery will be to create environmental conditions in which businesses can begin to prosper – this could include creating a new programme which would involve increasing lending to consumers and businesses, in order to help drive spending and secure economic growth.

Italy and Ireland in Free-fall
Europe's crisis took a dramatic turn for the worse with the sudden awareness, reflected by a steep increase in government bond yields, that the Italian economy may soon be on the financial chopping block alongside those of Greece, Portugal, and Ireland.
EU Economic Crisis: Italy's Debt Now Second Only to That of Greece
Europe's slow-motion economic collapse continues apace as Eurozone governments and banks continue to wring their hands over what to do to postpone the inevitable Greek default. And now there's a new wrinkle: Italy, whose level of sovereign indebtedness relative to GDP is second only to that of Greece, has suddenly appeared on investors' radar screens. If Italy — the second largest economy in the Eurozone — goes the way of Greece, Ireland, and Portugal, there will not be enough money in Europe's rapidly-dwindling rescue fund (the European Financial Stability Facility or EFSF) to effect a bailout.
Perfect Financial Storm Shaping Up for Europe, U.S.
The walls are closing in on the eurozone, as options for resolving the European debt crisis are about to narrow dramatically. After many months of drama and handwringing, the sovereign debt bailout express is about to run off the rails, leaving the European central bank, and probably a number of megabanks across Europe, in financial ruins, and most likely spelling the demise of the euro and of the entire eurozone experiment.
Eurozone Avoids Meltdown — For Now
In defiance of all logic, the eurozone weathered a week of harrowing instability this past week, with Portugal, Spain, and Italy managing to persuade the bond markets that their sovereign debt is still worth the risk. Portugal was the primary focus of concern in this latest iteration of European economic upheaval, with speculation rife that the Iberian nation would be forced to accept an international bailout along the lines of what Greece and Ireland have already received. The Portuguese government spent the week leading up to last Wednesday's successful auction of government bonds denying that Portugal needed outside assistance to solve its debt problem, and Wednesday's results appeared to vindicate those claims.
The 14th Amendment and the Debt
The topic of the14th Amendment of the United States Constitution is continuing to stir debate in Washington, with those who favor increasing the debt limit at any cost raising the specter of President Obama simply overruling Congress and authorizing the issuance of new debt without the consent of lawmakers. According to this storyline, the president need only invoke Section 4 of the 14th Amendment, which states that "the validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law … shall not be questioned." If Congress refuses to abide by its constitutional obligation to ensure government debts are paid, argue certain of Obama's supporters, then the president would be justified in simply imposing his will on Congress to ensure that the 14th Amendment's prohibition of government default is honored.
The Constitution and the Debt Limit
It's a sad commentary on the state of affairs in Washington that the only occasions on which the United States Constitution is invoked with any reverence by the political establishment is when it appears to support the expansion of federal power. The topic du jour in the capital is the 14th Amendment, and whether it authorizes President Obama, in effect, to ignore the congressionally-imposed debt ceiling and instruct the Treasury to issue new debt to pay for old. For the record, the 14th Amendment's Section Four states:
National Review's Latest Smear: Ron Paul and The John Birch Society
Although William F. Buckley, Jr., died more than three and a half years ago, his spirit clearly lives on in the National Review, the neoconservative political magazine he founded in 1955. The September 19 cover story, "Ron Paul's Last Crusade," by Kevin D. Williamson, purports to be an investigative piece about Congressman Ron Paul and his latest run for the presidency, but is instead a snide character assassination of Paul and an all-purpose smear on anyone who shares his convictions, including The John Birch Society.
"Primetime Propaganda" Interview Clips Confirm Hollywood's Liberal Bias
Ben Shapiro's bombshell, Primetime Propaganda, an exposé of left-wing propaganda at the movies and on television, is making Hollywood squirm. In a series of interview snippets available on Youtube, Tinseltown movers and shakers openly profess their support for discrimination against conservatives and for using their shows to catechize the public on behalf of the full gamut of liberal conceits.
Atlas Shrugged: The Book
Some of us remember our first reading of Atlas Shrugged like our first time behind the wheel of a car: intoxicating but inexplicably discomforting in spots. The 1,000-plus pages of Ayn Rand's magnum opus positively pulse with the sorts of stuff that those of us in the freedom camp embrace: heroic capitalists, a strident anti-collectivist cant, and the unapologetic championing of individual rights.
The Budget: Battling Business As Usual
When newly elected Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) proposed cutting aid to Israel, the howls of protest from all across the bipartisan political spectrum were painfully revealing. Matthew Brooks, executive director for the Republican Jewish Coalition — an organization with several former Bush administration officials on its board of directors — considers cutting the $3 billion a year that the United States gives to Israel to be off limits. "We share Senator Paul's commitment to restraining the growth of federal spending, but we reject his misguided proposal to end U.S. assistance to our ally Israel," he said. New York Representative Nita Lowey, the top Democrat on the House Appropriations subcommittee that deals with foreign aid, put it more bluntly: "Using our budget deficit as a reason to abandon Israel is inexcusable.... I call on all those who value the U.S.-Israel relationship to make it clear that our nation will not abandon our ally Israel."

Best practices for JS testing talk at HTML5DevConf – Video
21 Nov
18 Oct
Last Monday I spoke at the HTML5 Developer Conference in SF. I had the opportunity to share some of the practices used in our Front-end team at Eventbrite. A more complete blog post is coming soon…

If you were hired to improve cars' designs, with what aspect would you start? My first thoughts would be:
I think I could go on for a while before I could even think about the car's door. Recently I stumbled upon this video of an innovative way to design a car's door. The majority of the cars use the same door's design since 1897. Seriously, 1897! There might be some other systems out there, you could even consider lamborghini's scissors doors, but they are insignificant compared with the amount of "normal" doors out there.
This interesting video made me think about how we innovate on the web. How many web "normal doors" are out there that we are forgetting to innovate? Sometimes you don't know innovation is needed until you see it. Because after today I think all cars doors are lame and I want one of those!

I decided to have some fun with HTML5 canvas and Javascript, so why not develop a game. Well, I'm really happy with the decision. I realized that developing a game in a language gives you the opportunity to deal with really basic logical problem solving. Dealing with the dynamics of the moving ball and collision was so much fun. I'm in the process of getting it better, specially the collisions, they need some more work. I have to give some credit to the basic logic to this tutorial, but I basically didn't like the code so I changed it a lot to be OO. Also the collision dynamics with blocks wasn't great for something that should grow with more levels.
If you're interested in trying it out you can play it here. Soon I'll have more levels designed. Now if you want to get the Javascript and modify it or add more levels feel free to fork it on GitHub. I'll add more comments to the code so it's easier to understand.
If you're a web developer that is interested in understanding more about Javascript I would definitely recommend developing a game, it's fun and it will improve your skilss.

Thank you all for the feedback on this plugin. I fixed some bugs and made it compatible with the latest version of jQuery and jQuery UI. Also now in order to give more information about the image you can use the html attribute data-.
For those first visiting here, this is a Facebook like photo tagging plugin for jQuery, it's mainly for tagging people into pictures but it can also be used for notes.
For more information on how to implement visit the jQuery Photo Tag plugin post.

It is/was well known that Apple is the king of UX/UI, their UI designs are awesome and you can see that UX is big deal from the moment you unpack your Apple product. But I believe that's about to change, Apple will keep their great UX/UI, the point is that Microsoft will provide even a greater UX to their users (I never thought I would never say this words). It's clear that Microsoft is investing a lot on the UX of their products and I believe the results are about to come, and this is why: (more…)

Eloquent JavaScript: A Modern Introduction to Programming
I read the whole book even though I was interested in a few chapters. I would fully recommend for almost any level programmers. It starts with the very basics of JS, but it climbs to a good advanced level.
Javascript can be fun and evil, so I strongly recommend you always seek more knowledge on this language. If you read the article about learning jquery or js and realized you're a great jquery programmer but doesn't know javascript yet, this is a great book to start with.
4 Nov
Javascript is a language created for everybody: developers, designers, both advanced and beginners. That can be good and bad at the same time, what we can say is that it has been proven effective since is so widely used. The problem for advanced programmers is that it's oversimplified and not strongly typed, at the same time, those two problems are the solution for designers and beginners. It makes it easy to get results without understanding what exactly is happening. But there are things in Javascript that need to be explained, someone cannot live their whole life without understanding what's happening behind the scenes, it's just not right. That's why I'll try to explain a few weird things that Javascript does to make it work for everybody. (more…)
3 Nov
Strongly recommended for anyone in the field, specially if you're starting your career on UX or even development, it will put you on the right tracks.
The book is really detailed about every step of a project related with UX design (any software out there). It even gives you a guide on creating proposals for clients, but a lot of that knowledge can be used if you're part of an internal team.
I mostly enjoyed Chapter 4 and 5, "Project Objectives and Approach" and "Business Requirements", it's a great guide for what I believe can be the hardest part of a project.

Forms that Work: Designing Web Forms for Usability on Amazon.com
I really liked this book because it gave me really good insights on the best ways to build forms. I shows what to do, what not to do and why.
The structure makes it really easy to read and follow the main ideas. The book is separated in 3 parts: relationship, conversation and appearance.
One thing that I thought it was interesting was how important (talking ux, not design bs) it can be that your forms have good appearance, how much that can affect the efficiency of the form.

[ 10/10 ]
Despite the fact it looks like a parking lot from I-40, the spaces are wide and long enough for our 40 ft. 5th Wheel. The site was wide enough to fit my tow vehicle next to our rig. This is a new park, so their trees will take a few years to grow and provide any shade. We liked the ability to use the heated pool and spa in the hotel adjacent to the park, and the 24 hr. huge laundry facilities, so you never have to wait for a washer or dryer. The only other amenity that would be nice is if they offered reliable Wi-Fi. The office is open 24/7 and they were very nice to us.

All back in sites. Long timers are located in the back of the park. Located on a major street next to Disneyland, so there's a lot of noise. Heard sirens several times a day. Get a double site for your tow or extra vehicle since the back-in spaces are only about 40 feet in depth. Wi-Fi worked for a few hours, and never worked again. No refunds either.

Staff was very nice, escorts to site. A little tight getting to some sites with our 40' 5th Wheel. They offer some deluxe pull through sites on concrete which are better and longer, but they are at a preminum to get. We stayed there for almost a month. Their Wi-Fi worked fine most of the time. Would stay there again.

OK for a metro site. Daily rate is more for weekends. Big draw here is Disneyland. Across from elementary school and apartments. Had terrible experience with Wi-Fi (Tengo-internet) no refunds, each call to customer support was minimum wait of at least 25 minutes, and all they do is take your complaint and forward it on.

Wiegand was faster than his fellow countryman on the first three stages, but veteran Kremer battled back on the final stage to slash the deficit by almost 25sec in his Subaru Impreza.
"We had no major problems," explained Wiegand. "I tried to drive safely and it worked. But this is a long and tough rally so we'll wait and see how things are after the second leg tomorrow."
Early leader was Esapekka Lappi, who was fastest through the first stage despite hitting a rock and breaking the front suspension wishbone on his Skoda Fabia S2000. He started the second test but the damage was too bad for him to continue, the young Finn stopping after 20km.
Ukraine's Yuriy Protosov lies third in another Impreza, more than 2min 30sec behind Kremer.

German business confidence is high. The country that gave us the Wirtschaftswunder, the original post-War "economic miracle", may be Europe's best hope for the future.
Perhaps the real miracle is that the Germans are so optimistic, given Germany's underlying problems. The labour market is still over-regulated and Germany's welfare state ensures that salaries are a relatively small proportion of the costs of employing people there. Germany is also the cornerstone of the ailing single European currency, and will almost certainly be presented with the bills for bailing out a succession of less disciplined countries in the near future.
Nevertheless, Germany has definitely retaken her traditional position as Europe's most competitive economy – after losing it, briefly, to the UK in the mid-1990s. Other nations would do well to study the reasons for this...
1 Fiscal Discipline. Two years ago, German politicians from both sides of the political spectrum were united in their contempt for British and American plans to spend their way out of recession. Instead, they followed their own strict austerity programme. The result: Germany was out of recession before the UK and the USA, and is now two years ahead on the road to recovery.
2 Technology. Germany defies the decline of European industrial competitiveness thanks to a national obsession with constant technical innovation and precision. The Germans accept they cannot compete with the developing world on price and instead dedicate their whole economy to competing on quality. In Germany engineers have more status than lawyers – if only America could say the same!
3 Education. German Universities may not be as trendy as the American Ivy League or British Russell Group, but the German secondary education system is one of the best in the world, and their commitment to technical education is, predictably, given the national obsession, unsurpassed. A general population who are literate, numerate, comfortable in foreign languages, and technically skilled provides a better pool of potential entrepreneurs and key workers than a surplus of academic degrees.
4 Reputation. The emphasis on technical quality pays off. The German brand name is as strong as ever. Success builds success.
