Let me tell you about something.
Distractions and amusements, with a sandwich and coffee.
For the EMBO Journal 2011 Cover Contest, I prepared two entries, one for the scientific category and one for the non-scientific category.
The EMBO Journal non-scientific cover prize is awarded for the most interesting and beautiful image made outside the lab. Contestants may submit, for example, photos or artistic impressions of wildlife animals, plants or landscapes. Particularly welcome will also be hand or computer-generated paintings or drawings (or photographs of other works of art) related to a biological or molecular biological topic.
The EMBO Journal scientific cover prize is awarded for the most captivating and thought-provoking contribution depicting a piece of molecular biology research. Entries can include light or electron micrographs, 3D reconstructions or models of biological specimen or molecules, spectacular artefacts collected in the lab, original new views of lab equipment (but not of colleagues!), or other research-based images to be of interest to molecular biologists.
The 2011 winners have been announced. The scientific image winner was Heiti Paves, who submitted a confocal image of an Arabidopsis thaliana anther filled with pollen grains. The non-scientific winner was Dieter Lampl, with his "Blue Ice" photo — a glacier in Los Glaciares National Park in Patagonia.
My non-scientific entry (photo of fiber optics) received honourable mention and was included in the Favourites of the Jury gallery.
My non-scientific entry was an abstract image photo of fiber optics. It received honourable mention and were included in the Favourites of the Jury gallery.
The motivation and technical details behind these photos are described here.
The other entry, a scientific image, was an information graphic showing a hive panel of genomic annotations in human, mouse and dog genomes, based on the use of the newly introduced hive plot.
My submission of a large Circos figure for its cover (see right), which was originally designed for a poster that introduced Circos, was awarded the 2010 EMBO Journal best scientific cover prize.
Some time ago, I did a personal project of photos of fiber optic strands. These worked out well. I had not done anything with these images, and thought they would make a competitive entry into the cover contest.
I revisited the fiber optic lamp with a higher resolution camera (Canon 5D — original images were from a Canon 20D) and a dedicated macro lens (Sigma 150mm f2.8 EX APO DG HSM Macro) (original images were shot with the Canon EF 24-70L).
From these new images, shown below, I created five EMBO Journal cover submissions.
The submissions would render on the cover as shown below.
Sources of noise in experiments can be mitigated and assessed by nested designs. This kind of experimental design naturally models replication, which was the topic of last month's column.
Nested designs are appropriate when we want to use the data derived from experimental subjects to make general statements about populations. In this case, the subjects are random factors in the experiment, in contrast to fixed factors, such as we've seen previously.
In ANOVA analysis, random factors provide information about the amount of noise contributed by each factor. This is different from inferences made about fixed factors, which typically deal with a change in mean. Using the F-test, we can determine whether each layer of replication (e.g. animal, tissue, cell) contributes additional variation to the overall measurement.

Krzywinski, M. & Altman, N. (2014) Points of Significance: Designing Comparative Experiments Nature Methods 11:597-598.
It's fitting that the column published just before Labor day weekend is all about how to best allocate labor.
Replication is used to decrease the impact of variability from parts of the experiment that contribute noise. For example, we might measure data from more than one mouse to attempt to generalize over all mice.
It's important to distinguish technical replicates, which attempt to capture the noise in our measuring apparatus, from biological replicates, which capture biological variation. The former give us no information about biological variation and cannot be used to directly make biological inferences. To do so is to commit pseudoreplication. Technical replicates are useful to reduce the noise so that we have a better chance to detect a biologically meaningful signal.

- Great tool, but not for LEFT HANDERS...
This is a great tool for any MIL/LE personnel to have.
The only drawback is if you happen to be one of the unlucky leftys of the world. The light angle is not made to be used on the strong side (left hand) of a shooter and the watch is not made to be worn on the support side (right hand) because it appears upside down.
Surefire needs to eitherrelease an ambidextrous model or a lefty model.

- A "Makes-Complete-Sense" Combination
Owned and worn mine regularly for 1 month.
• Lightweight
• Awesome Luminox watch. Simply the best in the dark.
• Surprisingly powerful light with 3 settings. Except when shooting, the lowest setting has been plenty for my needs. The beam is the right shape for its intended purpose.
• Battery life not to be believed. My biggest positive surprise!
• Fantastic to have your hands free with light in the right places whether you are shooting or walking out after dark.
• The light gets used all the time...more than I ever suspected it would.
• It's a lot to wear on your wrist.
• Cost...cough! It cost a lot but has surpassed my expectations.
Wait and See:
• The crown is a little difficult to manipulate. Without a screwdown crown I am curious to see how it performs under water. So far it has only been exposed to a good rain.
• I'm undecided about the rubber wrist strap. It's very elastic so it's easy to put on too tight where it restricts circulation or too loose where the watch slides around...a small complaint and I may still get used to it.
When I saw Luminox and Surefire teaming up for this product, I knew something awesome had to come out of those two great companies. I have not been disappointed. I have been waiting for a product like this for years and would buy it again tomorrow, high cost or not. Way to go!

- an excellent device to have
The watch/light is a great combo. It's got a battery charge indicator (when illuminated) and the always on glow of the swiss watch is just noticeable in the day and just right at night. I would prefer an replaceable battery option since I'm not always less than a day away from the electrical grid. It appears to have a sapphire watch window but the cheapo-cheapo manuals are written for a family of products and you need to guess what type you really have. Unfortunately my watch broke before I could really use it much. The stem is hard to pull out for adjustment. If you really put your back into it, I couldn't stop before the stem came completely out. It went back in and was functional but a day later the watch froze. Now in for service.

- Superb!
Amazing...from a police officer standpoint this is perfect for officers. This exceeded my expectations. It's light weight and very durable. If you don't know about Luminox, please do some research on them...one of the best tactical watches on the market made for military and law enforcement. I highly recommend this investment! - perfect for building searches.

- Love it!
The watch and light has performed just as I expected it to. The watch looks big and cool on your wrist but I sure was surprised I can wear it all day and all night at work and it doesn't feel uncomfortable at all! That was important to me because for it to be always ready for use you better be always wearing it. I actually sometimes forget i'm ever wearing the 2211. The LED could be passed off as a camera lens which is how I always introduce the light to people that ask me what's that! The light is very bright & goes on high power on first button press and I like how if you press both buttons at the same time it goes on low power first. The light is a wide flood beam that lights up everything in a dark room and it's bright!

output at this setting. (ANSI standard)
The SureFire 2211® Luminox® WristLight—the first of its kind—offers tactical light output that's instantly accessible since it is securely strapped to your wrist, and it also boasts an integral Luminox timepiece. This 2211 model—rechargeable like the original—features a high-performance LED whose light is focused by a refractive optic into a broad, intense 300-lumen wall of light designed for tactical situations. Its Swiss-made Luminox timepiece is integrated into a lightweight, rugged body that straps securely to your wrist via a durable rubber wristband, and its watch-face features self-illuminated hands for low-light applications. This is the ultimate hands-free light and watch combination—and it's ready for any challenge, especially if things go south.
All 2211 models were developed with input from law enforcement officers and feature brilliant light output that automatically aligns with your pistol when using a standard two-handed grip. This broad, room-filling wall of white light effectively illuminates threats and non-threats at close to medium ranges, and it's always ready. The revolutionary, versatile 2211 Luminox also provides convenient hands-free illumination in a wide range of low-light applications including close-up work for law enforcement, EMTs and other medical personnel. It is also ideal for industrial professionals, across all trades, since the light from the 2211 is directed where it's needed and permits the use of two hands.
The multiple light-output levels of the 2211 Luminox are easy to access via its integral pushbutton switches. Simply press either switch to instantly activate the 300-lumen maximum beam to respond to a sudden threat. Press the switch again, within 0.5 seconds, to activate the low-level 15-lumen setting. Another press of either switch turns the light off.
Press and hold both ergonomic switches simultaneously to cycle through three levels of useful illumination: 300 lumens of blinding white light for tactical situations; 60 lumens of mid-level illumination great for everyday tasks or nighttime walks; and 15 lumens of low-output light ideal for any situation where low-level light is needed for extended periods of time. Release the switches when the desired level of light is activated; press either switch again to turn the light off. Light output can be programmed to cycle from high- to low-output, or from low to high, depending on your personal preference.
The integral Luminox timepiece features a classic design, a high-quaity Swiss quartz movement, a unidirectional rotating bezel with timer markings, and self-illuminating tritium hands and markers that glow continuously, for the ultimate in readability in low-light situations. It also boasts a hardened, scratch-resistant mineral crystal, and it's gasket sealed for water resistance.
Constructed of lightweight, hard-anodized aerospace aluminum, the 2211 Luminox features a heavy duty rubber wristband that holds the unit securely but comfortably in place. It's powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery with a built-in LED fuel gauge that lets you know when it's time to recharge—which is easily done using the included USB cable. Although it was built for the demanding needs of law enforcement, the 2211 Luminox is available to anyone who wants a one-of-a-kind hands-free illumination tool that's always ready.
NOTE: The integral Luminox watch runs on its own lithium disk battery that is unaffected by the USB charger.
- High-performance LED and proprietary refractive optic produce a broad beam at three useful levels: 300, 60, and 15 lumens
- The press of either ambidextrous pushbutton switch activates the LED on high, or it can be cycled through all levels by pressing both buttons simultaneously
- Securely straps to support-hand wrist via a durable rubber wristband for instant access and automatic alignment with pistol when using normal two-handed grip
- Integral Luminox watch features self-illuminating dial for low-light readability
- High-strength, lightweight aerospace aluminum construction with Mil-Spec hard anodizing for extreme durability
- Built-in LED fuel gauge lets you know when to recharge battery
- Includes rechargeable lithium-ion battery, micro-USB charge port, and USB charging cable

Increases of any kind are rare in the newspaper business these days. Circulation is falling at daily papers nationwide, as are advertising sales. As a result, newspaper revenues have been stagnant or declining, newsrooms have been shrinking and many newspaper employees haven't seen a raise in years.
Thus, it was big news late last year when the San Francisco Chronicle and the California Media Workers Guild agreed to a two-year contract that increased wages for some employees as much as 5% and added benefits, too.
Chronicle employees who belong to the guild—an affiliate of the Communications Workers of America union—voted 88-13 to ratify the new collective bargaining agreement. The guild represents Bay Area employees at media companies from San Jose to Santa Rosa.
The new agreement covers approximately 250 Chronicle employees, including editors, researchers, salespeople, customer service reps, classified ad coordinators, bookkeepers, payroll clerks, computer operators, telecom workers and circulation clerks.
The contract gave 1.5% pay raises to most employees, while editorial assistants received a 5% bump. Workers also will receive five additional days of paid sick leave per year and an additional week of vacation after 10 years of service.
The pay raises are the first for guild members in more than five years.
Despite better pay and benefits, guild leaders acknowledged member "dissatisfaction with the modest gains included in the contract." However, they noted that it represents "gains unmatched by virtually any other newspaper guild unit in the country in 2010."

Eau Parfumée au Thé Rouge by Bulgari
Very unique and distinctive scent here! Slightly sweet, a little sharp and synthetic, but certainly interesting. Spicy in a clean sort of way, almost like catnip. I would probably wear this if it didn't give me such a headache.
01st March, 2012
Patchouli by Molinard
Perfect! I wanna full bottle NOW! This is a full bodied patchouli scent, powdery and slightly sweetened, slightly astringent to my nose. Naturally smoky and "incensy" while not overly "head-shoppy" or "dirty" as critics describe other patchouli scents. The perfect balance between dusty and sweet, somewhat along the lines of Bal a Versailles (though sweeter and more pleasant, and course, lots of patchouli.)

Voyage d'Hermès by Hermès
My boyfriend bought this for me for Christmas. I picked it out at Sephora. It's very clean and refreshing, yet not terribly "common" smelling. I love the fresh, slightly spicy (must be the cardamom) aspect. Definitely not a heavy scent, though it veers toward the masculine. This does not strike me as a women's scent at all. (Well, it is marketed as unisex.) Voyage d'Hermes is bright and cheerful yet has a serious and assertive side. I agree that is a little transparent though, not very much sillage, and after awhile I can hardly detect it besides on my clothing. (After the drydown, it's surprisingly subtle.) Usually, I prefer a scent with a little more body, but this lightweight yet adventurous beauty is perfect for spring and summer days, and especially fun times outdoors!

24, Faubourg by Hermès
Thumbs way up! This is incredible. Definitely on my top five or so. I didn't love it at first, but it didn't take long either. For me, 24 Faubourg is the perfect combination of clean, classy, and elegant. While my jeans and t shirt way of life doesn't seem to do it justice, it's not a very serious, uptight scent either. The effect for me is relaxed and low key. I hesitate to use the term soapy, with its vague and possibly negative connotations, but for me the "clean" aspect is unmistakable. It feels clean and relaxed and put together. This one I would wear not to impress others but rather to please myself. It isn't what I would normally think of a warm, cozy scent (it's not very warm in my mind), but I somehow find it both relaxing and invigorating after a warm bath. Despite its seeming elegance, what I most want is to wear it during thoughtful moments alone, in my best lounge wear, after cleaning my house and myself, and curling up with a good book. But that's just me. (This one is too good to share!)

One of my most decided negatives. I'm usually not so sure ... yes I know I could give it more of a chance, but ... I don't think it's worth it. It's wimpy and downright unpleasant ... smells like nothing at all conjurable besides boring, synthetic, and trite perfume ... yuck, yuck, yuck.

Versace by Versace
The first impression is pleasant and pretty. This scent is fresh, crisp, and fruity- prefect for spring. I like the zingy, non sugary sweetness, and something maybe lemonlike. Reminds me a little of D&G Light Blue or Eclat D'Arpege. This soft fruity floral should be wearable and nonoffensive, but one of the perceived milky notes do not agree with me. Like some fresh fruit and flowers in a vase full of warmed milk and old vegetables. By the way: I've gotten that dreaded warm milk note in quite a few scents, so this could be "just me."

Ferré by Gianfranco Ferré
Gorgeous! I agree with mbanderson that this scent is well blended. Everything compliments everything, and I really have no complaints with this one. I love the fruit notes which are smoother and more realistic than most I've smelled and not at all syrupy/sugary. Artificial but tastefully so- not obnoxiously, cheaply, sloppily artificial but more refined than other scents. It also doesn't burn my nose which is a plus. A feel good scent which makes me feel young and happy and carefree. Though it was made in 2005, Ferre reminds me of scents I smelled as an early adolescent in the 90s. Maybe the Calgon spray that's supposed to smell like rain? Except this one is so much better. Makes me feel innocent- and reminds me of long lost adventures with long lost friends. Which is pretty impressive since I'm sure I've never smelled it before!

Thumbs down??!! Nooo, I've smelled much worse!!

Exceptional Because You Are by Exceptional
Light, sweet, melony, aquatic floral. Pleasant but painfully boring. Overtly synthetic. Brings dryer sheets to my mind.
07 August, 2009
Bal à Versailles by Jean Desprez
Mmmmm. Perfect! An ambery floral with a chalkdust note that softens the sharpness. An elusive peachy fruit note makes this pleasant and wearable.
07 August, 2009
Fig & Vetiver by Anthousa
Smooth, sweet, and very beautiful! Also smells natural IMHO, like mellow fruits and coconut. The creaminess makes it special and not too sharp.
04 August, 2009
Allure Sensuelle by Chanel
I rather liked this straight from the vial- the opening too- and then the drydown became an old bowl of cereal on me, bad milk and all.
04 August, 2009
Boucheron by Boucheron
NICE!! Unlike other scents of its genre and time, Boucheron is not very musky- just big, warm, and bright. Not too sweet, but sweet enough to make the florals feel at home.
03 August, 2009
L'Instant de Guerlain by Guerlain
Smells to me like I cracked open some chocolate covered cherries and used them as bath beads. Which is not a terrible thing, but not what I'm looking for in a fragrance. I like this scent, but it feels like something is missing. Super duper sweet is all I get. Like Cherry Coke. Just doesn't suit me I guess.
02 August, 2009
Elle by Yves Saint Laurent
I like Elle a lot! As a fan of dry, spicy, woodsy scents- this is the most patchouli prominent women's frag I've tried. It doesn't smell like a head shop; it smells like the beautiful sexy hippie chick who owns the head shop. The perfect mix between edgy and mainstream. Sexy and fresh. Daring and pleasant. Would also be lovely on a man.
28 July, 2009
Mitsouko by Guerlain
*Sigh* This smelled so much better in the reviews. In 3D land, I just can't take it. I almost like it, but not quite. To say it is challenging is the ultimate understatement ... My boyfriend hates it ... It's interesting how it induces nostalgia- how it seems familiar, yet completely unknown ... I cannot identify a single note- which is something I'm weak at to begin with. It's very sharp and nonsweet to me. But it can also smell doughy, pasty, makeupy, papery, mossy, musty, and dusty. Effervescent like Alka Seltzer. An impression of spice but not actually spicy. I cannot describe it using any of the 4 tastes- not sweet, bitter, sour, or salty. So many likeable impressions but overall is unpleasant. Also seems to give me a headache ... I feel self conscious in a bad way when I wear this ... Like I might be arrested for wearing it. Which could make it fun if you can stand it! I'd love to smell it on someone else. If I were rich I would own it for novelty's sake. But since I'm poor and will not wear it, I'm giving it a neutral and putting it up for swap. Good luck with this one! (newer EDT version)
28 July, 2009
J'Adore by Christian Dior
A pleasant scent with some realistic notes. I'm not getting anything besides fruits and florals, maybe a touch of something musky underneath. Gives me an impression of roses and apple peels. I like how the notes have a natural feel while fresh and soapy. Subtly sweet, with something tart to my nose. Sparkling? Sure. Interesting? Nope. Bores me to tears. I have trouble detecting this on me, and it's eau de parfum. Virtually no sillage unless my nose isn't working. Could be because I've been wearing darker, heavier scents lately. I'll have to disagree that this smells mature (not particularly at least). I could see a young person wearing this- even a teenager. At the same time, it could work for anyone who wants to wear this. A light and subtle daytime scent IMHO. Very nice but nothing exciting.
27 July, 2009 (Last Edited: 31st July, 2009)
Chance Eau Fraîche by Chanel
I like this scent as it's pleasant with mighty projection and strength (IMHO). Not what I was expecting for an "eau fraiche."
14 July, 2009
Carlos Santana for Women by Carlos Santana
Carlos, I'm sorry but this just doesn't do it for me. I'm a huge fan of Carlos' music, so I really want to love this and feel bad for giving it a neutral. I think that the notes and the effect are both nice. I like the idea. However, there is an overly synthetic fruit note which I-maybe unfairly- associate with a tropical scented air freshener I've smelled before. Which sadly enough spoils this for me. I don't want to be that way, but ... Oh well. By the way, I'm not getting any "spice" from this. Maybe it's just me :(
14 July, 2009
L'Eau D'Issey by Issey Miyake
A lovely, fresh floral scent! Just beautiful. Casually, effortlessly chic. Bold but not too sassy. The florals in L'Eau D'Issey are more apparent than those in newer aquatic type scents-which is a great thing in my opinion. This to me is THE classic fresh floral. Not trendy or dated, just all around good stuff. I'll wear it and wear it proudly.
14 July, 2009 (Last Edited: 15 July, 2009)
Samsara by Guerlain
My all time favorite fragrance. Just perfect! Any description will do no justice for Samsara. Just try it. Buy it. Wear it. Highly recommended and a MAN MAGNET.
13 July, 2009 (Last Edited: 27 July, 2009)
Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana
There is a too sharp, too heavy, too chemical musky note. Maybe the synthetic cedar note that someone has mentioned. I agree with the comparison to Eclat D' Arpege, but I prefer Eclat D' Arpege. However, I'd rather not wear either one of them. Maybe I'd like this on someone else.
03 July, 2009 (Last Edited: 31st July, 2009)
My Insolence by Guerlain
This fragrance is exceptional in that upon smelling I was sure I disliked it. I am usually less decisive about scents, and in fact this is my first thumbs down review. This is not a bad fragrance. The smell is not offensive or overtly "perfumey." But it is far too light/powdery/sweet for my taste. Perhaps it would be lovely on the right person. I don't know. But I give it a thumbs down since it disagreed with me.
10th June, 2009
Opium by Yves Saint Laurent
Opium is a scent which I would like to smell on other people but not on myself. Sort of like a really nice outfit that looks great on someone else but would not look as good on myself. I like the smell. I like it because it doesn't try to be likeable. It's just there. The notes work well together and it it smells put together. I could like it a lot in the right mood. I would maybe wear a hint of this if I wanted to feel dressed up. Smells like a timeless classic to me.
10th June, 2009
Bulgari pour Femme by Bulgari
I rewrote this review because, due to misinformation from a salesperson, I was actually reviewing Bulgari Red Tea! Bulgari Pour Femme is a light, fresh, somewhat sweet floral with a tealike note in there somewhere. Pleasant enough but leaves me bored.
10th June, 2009 (Last Edited: 31st July, 2009)
Eau Fraîche by Bulgari
A fresh, clean, fruity floral. Delicate yet sassy. Nearly reminiscent of tea. I enjoy this scent a lot, and would give it a thumbs up if it weren't so wispy. After 15 minutes I can hardly get a whiff. I bought 1 ounce unsniffed at a discount store about a week ago, and I've sprayed half the bottle in an effort to follow the scent to its secret hiding place. If only this were a bit stronger :(
09 June, 2009
Revert Eco Perfume Spray by rue21
My stepdaughter equivalent bought a bottle of Revert at Rue 21 for about $9.99. Let me tell you now that for a 10 dollar 1.7 oz bottle, you couldn't ask for more. I was surprised right away that I liked it as much as I did. It smells a bit like a "body spray," but better than many in my opinion. It is fairly potent for a scent of this style. If I had to pinpoint a note I would say there is a sharp tangy citrus note, probably grapefruit. Intensely fresh and fruity and any other notes like florals are next to zero. The package boasts some natural ingredients and eco friendly packaging. It is too much of a fruit punch for a grown woman like myself, but I would much rather smell this on my preteen than Calgon or the like.
24 May, 2009 (Last Edited: 31st July, 2009)
Red Door by Elizabeth Arden
I regret to say that this is my first thumbs down review. My mother had this on her dresser. I tried it on. I disliked it immediately. However, I became nostalgic as I was vaguely and instantly transported back in time when I was a kid, at a country church with my aunt. This is just how the ladies smelled at church. I also got a fleeting impression of old time aftershave. This one is not for me.
24 May, 2009
Shalimar Light by Guerlain
First of all, I have not had the pleasure of trying the original. With that said, Shalimar Light is fantastic. My boyfriend loves it. Every time I wear it, he doesn't recognize it but asks which perfume it is. He has said it's his favorite. Very sweet but somehow fresh. It smells lemony and vanilla-ish with some bright, sunshiney florals. This fragrance is stunning and one of the few scents which seems to automatically affect my mood. One of my favorites. Two thumbs up!!
17 May, 2009 (Last Edited: 31st July, 2009)
Concentré D'Orange Verte by Hermès
An awesome frag which I'd like to keep in rotation. I won't try to describe the scent besides that it's smoky/spicy/sweet. Beautifully balanced, easy to wear, with excellent sillage and longevity. Truly a masterpiece. Am 100% sure to buy again as soon as possible and will be very sad if they stop making it.

review published on January 13, 2014. Reviewed by Sara Garland
The very talented Mr Beckett has created an intense stand-alone story that oozes intrigue, suspense and tension from the very start to the climatic end.
It starts at a juncture where the main character Sean, abandons his blood stained car and heads off into the woods. You don't know what has happened before only that he appears to be on the run. You're left with a sense that he's probably no angel, but have an inclination that he's likely to be at his core a good guy.
Set in rural France, Sean heads off with his backpack in tow, looking to catch a ride. It is swelteringly hot and although he doesn't want to be seen by anybody in the vicinity of where he left the car, he needs water and takes the uncomfortable decision to call into a farm to top up his water bottle.
Already there is a quirky feel at the farm, as the woman who gives him water is guarded and tense. Heading back on his way, upon seeing and trying to evade a police vehicle, he darts out of sight, only to find he has stepped into a bear trap. In seething pain, he just cannot release his foot from the jaws of the trap and eventually passes out from the effort and agony.
Upon awakening he finds himself in a barn with a very nasty foot injury. He is unable to go anywhere. He is actually on the farm where he sought water. Arnaud the farmer seems to take an instant dislike to him and makes no attempt to hide his intense displeasure at having found him on his farm. He arranges for the older of his two daughters to tend to him. Quite incredulously the family refuse to take him to a hospital and consider he should be grateful that they are attending to his needs when trespassing where they consider he should not have. Arnaud senses he is on the run from something and Sean has no idea what he knows. Has somebody come across the car? Perhaps it is better not to attend a hospital and risk exposing himself to capture by the police. Regardless of this, unable to mobilise he realises he is trapped and at their mercy.
From here you learn more about each of the characters, their oddities, flaws and secrets. Sean forced to remain at the farm gets sucked into the subtly unsettling lives of this family. The more you start to learn, the more eerie and unsettling it gets. Indeed there is an undercurrent of dread all the way through. Consequently Beckett drip feeds the reader information, building the tension incrementally, page by page. Interspersed between chapters you begin to find out what happened in London before Sean headed across to France, and steadily you learn Sean's story and what he is really about.
This is an exceptionally good page turner. It sustains a sense of sinister discomfort and tension throughout. In the latter part of the book the pace picks up further and there are quite a good few unexpected twists, which bring the story to a rather horrifying conclusion. It is entirely believable and has all the ingredients of an acclaimed book, which incidentally would also make for a powerful film. This is one of those books that I would strongly urge you to read, even if this isn't your usual genre, as it's too good a book to miss.

Salumi in SEA--I have questions
We're coming to SEA for a few days and trying to plan out our lunch options. We're debating between MIke's at the Market and Salumi. Looked at Salumi's website for the menu and wondering if ALL of their sandwiches have pork based products. They do have a lamb prosciutto, but it doesn't say if it's available in a sandwich.
Personally, Salumi is far and away my favorite dining experience in Seattle, and I highly recommend it, even if you don't eat pork. You'll be able to get the lamb proscuitto, but also grilled leg-of-lamb sandwitches, cured beef tongue, pasta, soup, vegetables, and probably some other things I'm forgetting now. My wife and I took hundreds of dollars of Salumi meats to New Orleans for our wedding, and because many of the guests were Jewish (and kosher), we brought some non-pork salumi. Needless to say, I think you should give it a try.
Matt's in the Market (and 1 block north of there, Steelhead Diner) are good lunch options. Also, with a handle like daantaat, you might be interested in trying the dimsum at O'Asian (5th and Columbia).
I don't eat pork either, and I go to Salumi. The pasta is sometimes vegetarian as is the veggie option of the day, and sometimes the soup has no pork in it. They also make a few nice cheese-based sandwiches. I've tried both the lamb things. The prosciutto was a little salty for me, but in a smaller quantity it might have been nice. I liked the grilled lamb, but the peppers it came with burned my lips - and I tend to like spicy food.
re: seattledebs
thanks for the info on non-pork options at Salumi! We are definitely going to stop there for lunch (as well as Matt's on the Market).
Also, thanks for the dim sum tip (good call on my handle) and Steelhead Diner.
re: seattledebs
We were there just yesterday (as was Tiffani from Top Chef - how cool is that!!) and my father, who does not like spicy food, ordered the lamb sandwich with the peppers on the side.
re: scottpearson111
I think it is very imprudent to state, even by way of hearsay, gossip etc., that a nationally known and very respected artisan meat product now has "too many chemicals." If they have changed their manufacturing technique that is a fact and I think that is fair information to pass along but I think you need to be able to cite a source.
the elder batali had a dream for his retirement and was blessed with success beyond his wildest imagination but, discovering he had a tiger by the tail, turned it over to his more energetic daughter. he made salumi, she makes money and anyone who does not understand the difference will continue to enjoy the products coming out of what has become a very busy factory.
re: howard 1st
Mmm, factory food. IMO Salumi jumped the shark when you could start buying their products in a catalog.
re: howard 1st
Okay, the salumi's not what it used to be. I still can't fault the porchetta or the pork cheeks.
Wait, forget I said anything. You're right. Salumi's crap - nobody should eat there anymore. At least on days when I'm going there.
re: howard 1st
I see! Well it will be the last time I spend $54.99LB for their frigging meat at DiLaurenti's.
I was just there yesterday; they had a lamb sandwich. They also have a daily specials menu board. Yesterday, it was watermelon & mint salad, a cold soup (i forgot which vegetable), a pasta dish and a pork butt sandwich.

Happy Fifth of July!
Most of you know that yesterday was a huge holiday in the United States, and a time to reflect on costs and benefits. Most of us believe that the liberty we have taken for ourselves in the United States has been worth the cost to defend it.
From the OOPS Department...and a darn good idea
Security expert Eric Byres sets the record straight (see the blog entry for 6/28/2005): "Actually, it is me who needs to apologize. Honeywell (and you in turn) had me quoted correctly. Honeywell and I had quite a few quotes going back and forth prior to the HUG and I forgot...
More commentary on ISA...
I deliberately stopped posting about the situation at ISA a couple of weeks ago, even though I continued to receive comment. My July editorial (soon to be out) talks about what I see, and is my summation of what was said here.
Citect and the future
I've written a lot about Iconics and their modular, "Extreme Distributed Control" model. Iconics isn't alone. There is also Citect. Citect is another example of "The World is Flat" being right on the money. Tom Friedman's book, which you should all immediately run out and buy if you want to...
MES implementations that actually work
Yes, there are some. Sadly, they are still few and far between. There are good signs though. At last week's ARC conference on interoperability SAP was the 5000 pound gorilla. The SAP folks were all over, announcing that they had standardized on WBF's B2MML and S88 and S95 for the...
Suggested summer reading-- on and off topic
I'm going to go camping this weekend, and if you're like me you may want to bring a book or two along wherever you are going. For professional reading, I'm bringing Safety Instrumented Systems Verification by Bill Goble and Harry Cheddie, available from www.isa.org.
It's an <B>APPLIANCE!</B>
Ron Monday said yesterday that the big thing he was having trouble explaining is that the xCoupler is an appliance, not a software system. It is like a hardware router or firewall, not a server. People keep saying, "It can't be that simple." But it is.
Eric Byres cries "Foul!"-- sort of
Sam Herb at Foxboro sent me the following from Eric Byres, because of my copying of a quote from him relayed to us by Honeywell. "Unfortunately it seems like editorial licence distorting my quote - what we actually said was "Of the five systems we have tested so far, this...
Catchin' up
I've been blogging rather raggedly for the last week or so, mainly because I've been trying to get the July issue of CONTROL to the printer. Not having a managing editor right now (thank you, Siemens, for pirating my excellent managing editor, Steve Kuehn) it has been just loads of fun.
Thinking around the problem...
Ron Monday is a very sharp fellow. He is the president and CEO of a company most people have never heard of, but which is quite significant in automation. Ron builds OEM modules for Rockwell ControlLogix and for ProSoft.

'Full-dress' version of the Chieftain tourer launched a year ago achieves what it set out to in out-luxo-ing and out-performing Harley's Electra Glide. That said, Indians are relatively unproven and the latest Project Rushmore Harleys are a vast improvement, so it's close.

Regarding Caltrans' test-rolled stretch of Highway 1 and proposed results of that experimental "solution" ("SLOCOG tells Caltrans to shift gears," April 4):
There is no way possible for the results of a subject test-roll to provide any positive results, let alone a solution.
Any rolling of asphalt, containing large rocks, using a multi-wheeled rubber roller, will not change the roughness of the surface. What is needed, and will change the large rock surface, is an old-fashioned, water-filled steel roller. Only then can an experiment be of any value in determining whether rolling or additional resurfacing is required.

Latest Herschel Space Observatory Stories
Giant filaments of cold dust stretching through our Galaxy are revealed in a new image from ESA's Planck satellite.
ESA's Herschel Space Observatory has revealed the chemical fingerprints of potential life-enabling organic molecules in the Orion Nebula, a nearby stellar nursery in our Milky Way galaxy.
When astrophysicist Julian Borrill came to Berkeley Lab's National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) in 1997, his first project was designing computational tools for future CMB experiments, a toolbox capable of handling an expected flood of cosmic data.
ESA's Herschel observatory is back to full operation following the reactivation of its HiFi instrument.
The back up system of HIFI, the state of the art Dutch space instrument on ESA's Herschel space telescope, has been switched on successfully.
A University of British Columbia astronomer has produced the most detailed images of deep space from 12 billion years ago, using data from the European Space Agency's Herschel Space Observatory.
An instrument package developed in part by the University of Colorado at Boulder for the Herschel Space Observatory has provided one of the most detailed views yet of space up to 12 billion years back in time.
Herschel has peered inside an unseen stellar nursery and revealed surprising amounts of activity.
The latest data delivered back to Earth by the Herschel Space Observatory (HSO)—launched in May by the European Space Agency—has opened a new window on galaxies for researchers at McMaster University.
Herschel spectroscopy took center stage yesterday as new spectra, obtained with the SPIRE, PACS and HIFI instruments during the performance verification phase, were released by ESA and the instrument teams.

A mod edited one of my comments because of content. After looking it over, I do agree that what I said was questionable for a website frequented by ten-year-olds. The problem is the way the mod edited it. The capitalization was made incorrect, and the flow of language was ruined. In the future, is there any you can notify me of objectionable content so I can make another comment that I edit myself? Thank you!
Unfortunately, I don't really think there's any way we can notify you. So sorry! Jordan S.

You won't know unless you talk to your parents rationally, girlie!
Have a chat with them about if they'd be willing to let you be at his house for a few hours. Offer to invite him over first and work from there if they'd like you to.

The Germantown-Schnitzelburg neighborhoods will be celebrating their German heritage next week for the 40th year with the Dainty Contest. The 40th Annual World's Championship Dainty Contest, traditionally held in the street in front of Hauck's Handy Store, almost looks like a school field day, except participants must be at least 45-years-old.
In 1971, George Hauck and Charlie Vettiner revived the dainty game, which originated in Germany in the 1800's. In the modern rendition of the game, players use a three-feet-long mop handle to hit a three-inch-long broom stick, which lays on the ground, in order to pop it up into the air and then hit it as far down the street as possible.
The record, an impressive 146 feet and 5 inches, has been unbeaten since the 1980's. However, on Sunday, July 25, the night before the actual contest, Congressman John Yarmuth and Danny McMahon of Danny Mac's Pizza will attempt to break the record for this 40th anniversary. Yarmuth won the contest in 2006.
The Dainty Contest will also have several noted guests. Mayor Jerry Abramson, Councilman Jim King, Representative Jim Wayne, retired Congressman Ron Mazzoli, and Senators Denise Harper Angel and Tim Shaughnessy are all slated to attend the contest.
Dainty Contest shirts are being sold at Hauck's Handy Store for $10.99 and those who wear them to the contest have a chance to win a $50 savings bond. The kick-off event, which starts at noon on Sunday, and the Dainty Contest on Monday at 5pm will both take place in front of Hauck's at 1000 Goss Avenue. Players can register in person at the event.
