|The gear is definitely sub-par and spread out, so take longer slings to avoid too much drag or pulling your gear. This is an adventure climb that you will find some route-finding necessary on.

The description above is a direct quote from the Rossiter Eldo guide. We shouldn't be just copying guidebook descriptions onto this site. Much better to use your own words and add more detail.
Besides, I think Rossiter's description is wrong in a couple of places. On P1 after the initial ramp, instead of "work straight up to a belay", I think the route goes about about 20 feet then traverses way right, past a pin, and then back left on a ramp (the continuation of the ramp that continues down and right to the large pine tree). This bypasses a difficult headwall. And on P2, instead of "traverse right for 30 feet", it's more like 15'.
I agree with the comments above that this is a serious undertaking for the grade. Gear is pretty sparse and sometimes funky. Route finding is difficult.
I think we belayed too high on P1. The belay was not bomber, and traversing right off of the belay was dangerous until I got some good gear in. If I did this route again I would belay halfway up P2 where the angle eases off and the gear is good.
Gear: We used a double set of Friends to #3 and a 3.5 Friend. Placed them all. Plus smaller cams and a single set of nuts.

This probaby shouldn't be your first 5.7 lead.We managed to pull it off in 1 pitch with a 70m cord, and for what it's worth, the somewhat infrequent gear was pretty much all in a nice line although the actual climbing wandered all over the place. Long slings for sure.
Pin at 'belay' spot is a rusty angle with one good eye. Arrr!

|We tried this route a couple of weeks ago, and I definitely agree with the comments. The 's' rating on this one is significant. I used quite a bit of pro on the first pitch, but placements around the crux (just above the ramp) are difficult to find and dubious at best. The rock is solid, and there are good hands, but the [feet] didn't inspire much confidence. I also agree with Ivan's comment that the route description appears to be a bit off. Be careful where you place protection down low, and use long slings. I placed a bad piece or two that created terrible rope drag (not good, especially through the crux). It started to rain on us, so we traversed left to the anchors at the top of the first pitch of The Bulge and bailed.

The S on this route is deserved. The holds are all there but its steep and exposed and there isn't much pro on the second pitch.
We belayed at some rap rings under the roof at the end of the traverse just before you cut right. This is a good place to belay as it minimizes rope drag and provides a bomber anchor. The initial traverse has good pro fortunately as this airy traverse is just as dangerous for the follower as the leader.
Overall its a fun climb for the grade. Bomber buckets allow steep climbing without exceeding the 5.7 grade--thats a classic in my book.

|Think I did the first pitch. Didn't find any pins, bolts, or chalk for that matter. Pro was scarce, but my belay was good, not sure if it was in the right spot. Ended up traversing right, must have missed the part where it goes up cuz I just traversed right all the way to the ground. Guess I need to work on route finding!

Is PUE Still Above 2.0 for Most Data Centers?Submitted by Matt on Thu, 02/19/2015 - 18:14
A 2010 version of this post was titled "No One Can Agree on Typical PUE". I wrote, "As more data centers measure their PUE, managers ask what is typical? The industry does not seem to agree, so a wide range of numbers is out there." I updated the post in 2012 with the latest data, concluding that most data centers still appear to be operating above a PUE of 2.0."
I put the question to Vertatique's global Green ICT community in August 2013 via a tweet: "After years of #GreenICT, is there evidence that most #datacenters now operate below PUE 2.0?". This was one of our most-retweeted, but no one came forward with new evidence. Some replied in the emphatic negative.
Three years of very enlightening survey results from Digital Realty, including the 2014 data, confirm that the 2012 analysis. The only lower (better) average PUE came from Microsoft.

International Outsourcing and the Skill--Specific Wage Bill in Eastern Europe
This paper analyses the effects of international fragmentation in terms of intermediate goods trade on the dynamics of the skilled--to--unskilled labour wage bill ratio in 14 manufacturing industries of the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland. Both intermediate goods exports and imports of the CEEC exhibit a positive impact on the wage bill ratio. Since 1993, intermediate goods trade with the EU alone has accounted for a considerable reduction of the predicted annual change in the skilled--to--unskilled wage bill ratio in the three CEEC.

Social TV start-up Miso has launched a new product, Quips, that allows users to select a scene from a TV show, caption it with their thoughts and share their commentary on a Quips feed, or to Facebook and Twitter.
According to Miso, Quips combines social activity with beautiful images from TV shows. Prakash Venkataraman, head of business operations at Miso, says the images come from "proprietary technology that we are patenting, and due to patent pending, we cannot discuss further."
Quips includes more than 500 TV shows with over 150,000 hours of coverage of shows from the last 30 years.
Miso has 350,000 downloads and roughly 100,000 active users. Miso would not disclose the number of Quips downloads to date.
In addition to finding, captioning and sharing scenes via Quips, users can follow their friends and interact through Quips.
Last December, Miso launched SideShows, or interactive content experiences that play on iPhones while users watch TV. The content includes characters' back stories, as well as information on guest stars and fashion, history facts, trivia and quotes.
Miso started out with TV check-ins as a standalone offering in 2010. Check-ins were integrated into SideShows upon the latter product's launch, Venkataraman says.
"We still have our SideShows product, and have learned a great deal from SideShows in order to create Quips," Venkataraman says. "As we want to continue to grow and nurture Quips to provide the best experience for users, this is where our focus is."
Approximately 2,500 SideShows have been created to date.
"SideShows allowed anybody to create a narrative to express themselves around their favorite TV shows. Quips takes that same user-centric focus and delivers it in a lighter, faster and more mobile way," Venkataraman says. "With Quips, you can connect with your friends and other fans around your favorite shows, characters, moments and more no matter where, when or how you watch."
Miso calls Quips "the best way to talk about TV" because it connects people watching shows at different times and with different devices – whether that's TV, DVR, On Demand, Netflix, Hulu or mobile.
"Today, the only solutions that allow people to connect with each other require that they watch exclusively during a live broadcast. Additionally, some social TV services also face difficulties across time zones," Venkataraman says. "Our solution works in all cases and makes it available indefinitely. No matter when and where people watch their favorite TV shows, the conversation stays relevant and timeless."
It's perhaps worth noting that another social TV start-up, GetGlue, which has 3 million users, does not require its users to watch a live show to check in or comment. However, they can typically only earn stickers if they check in during a live broadcast, according to a rep.
As of today, Quips has 12 reviews on iTunes with an average rating of five stars. By comparison, all versions of the Miso app have a total of 1,250 reviews with an average of three stars.
"Really loving Miso's new app. Makes it really easy to make a comment on any scene of a TV, sharing the exact scene I was referencing. Perfect for any TV addict like myself," writes one iTunes reviewer.
Miso is backed by approximately $6 million to date. Backers include Google Ventures, Heart Interactive Media, Khosla Ventures and individuals associated with Square, YouTube, Epinions, AngelList, and Google.

The season to keep warm is once again upon us, and through these dark winter days everybody needs a tipple or five to ward off the impending chill - it's medicinal.
As we are experts in all things l'alcool (everything is more sophisticated in French), we thought it was high-time we treated you all to something new and exciting on the cocktail front.
First up is the delectable Pink Cactus, a Mexican escape which will whisk you away from our wet city streets in one sip. Blending Olmeca Blanco tequila with a dash of Aperol, along with a sweet and sour injection of pink grapefruit and lemon juice, this mixture is sure to refresh and rejuvenate no matter what the weather. Served over crushed ice in a latte glass with a jaunty sprig of tarragon to finish, you'll be left wondering whether you're still in London at all.
If getting away from it all is firmly on your agenda, we have your solution. Cloud Nine combines Absolut Vanilla with Malibu to create a delicious cocktail which will chase your stress away and lift your spirits sky high. Infused with cream of coconut and pistachio syrup, this concoction will take your taste buds on a journey from east to west and back again.
If you're dreaming of summer days gone by fear not, the Rhubarb & Raspberry Martini is at hand to provide a fruity sensation and allow you to reminisce regardless of the falling temperatures. Mixing the sophistication of Chambord with the sassiness of Chase Rhubarb Vodka, this snifter is the perfect answer to winter woes. With lemon and pressed apple juices creating zesty refreshment and sugar syrup giving you the sweetness you've been searching for, this cocktail is then adorned with raspberries for a final flourish.
For a delicate blend, the Red Rose has to be your number one choice. Combining Absolut Blue with raspberry puree, rose liqueur and lemon and cranberry juices, before serving the mixture over cubed ice and finishing with a rose petal, prepare to have your senses awakened by this charming thirst-quencher.
For something deliciously wintery, the Spiced Pear Mojito evokes all things seasonal. Using cinnamon to conjure the very taste of autumn, this mixture complements Absolut Pear with cloudy apple juice for a good ol' English treat. Adding lime juice and mint leaves for a flavour kick, this cocktail is churned with crushed ice to create the merriest tipple of them all.
If you are looking for something to share this winter the Gincello Jug is perfect for sharing with your nearest and dearest. Using Beefeater Gin as a base, adding Limoncello and myriad juices including lychee, redcurrant and lemon and pouring the delightful brew over ice, this cocktail is generously topped with Prosecco for some added fizz.
These lush cocktails (and many more!) are now available at Grace, Abbey, The Gallery, The Gable, The Last and The Sterling.

Professional portraits are something that you will treasure, especially when they record a special picture of your child. These pictures are usually reserved for decorating the walls of my home, but sometimes I end up with so many pictures, putting all of them up on the wall would be a bit of over-kill.
Scrapbooking the extra photos that you receive from a photographer is a great way to preserve these pictures. Here is one layout I just completed of my daughter using an 8 x 10 picture of her.
This layout used two smaller photos, one 5 x 7 and one 3 x 4.
These layout are going next to each other in Hannah's album, so I wanted them to have a similar design. The two layouts took me only 30 minutes total to complete because of the simple, elegant layout of the photo mats and photos.
This was the last layout in Hannah's first year album and I had many scraps of paper left over. Since I used paper from the same paper line (Basic Grey Sweetpea Alyssa) throughout the entire album, I was able to use scraps and have this page coordinate with the rest of the pages.
Four scraps were chosen for each layout and then moved around on the layout until they looked right. I inked all of the edges of the scraps with Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Tea Dye) since some of the edges already had an inked look and I wanted the look of all the scraps to be consistent.
Hand written journaling was included on one of the layouts and a stamped title was on the other layout.
For a final touch, I punched the side view daisies with the Quickutz hand tool and die from additional scraps. I put them through the Xyron machine and stuck them to the page.
What other ideas for using scraps in your layouts have you used? What is your favorite way to preserve your professional portraits? I would love to hear your ideas.

Hi: I recently purchased several box lots of firearms related items at an auction and this set of grips was in one of the boxes. They look like SERVICE GRIPS, which was used on the 2 1/2" PYTHON. They measure approx. 1 7/8" across the base. They were in a Colt bag with a part number on it #51287-9 thats just a partial # as the rest is not readable. And I realize that since the bag was opened it doesn't necessarily mean they were in the bag originally? There is a set like these on EBAY now that are up to over $70.00.

Severe Wrinkles and Puffines Under Eyes when Smiling? (photo)
Doctor Answers 4
Normal phenomenon
Wrinkling underneath the eye and at the crows feet is normal when smiling. You could consider subtle botox injections to minimize the wrinkling, but have to be careful not to overdo it as it could cause tearing problems or eyelid malposition.
Severe Wrinkles and Puffiness Under Eyes when Smiling?
There may be a role for filler to the tear trough or a modified lower eyelid surgery, but this needs to be determined after an exam. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Lower eyelid wrinkles upon animation
The decision to perform lower eyelid pinch technique is performed at rest, not on animation. If there is excess skin on the lower lids upon rest, then consideration can be given to a pinch technique of excess skin and then closed with Histocryl tissue glue.

Lower eyelid wrinkles treatment
Lower eyelid wrinkling and folding (puffiness) is normal when smiling, even in young people. This is not an aging problem. If the problem only shows up when you smile, theoretically, neurotoxin (Botox, Dysport, Myobloc) injection can reduce the dynamic wrinkling but the resulting paralysis would probably cause significant lid dysfunction(drooping, tearing, dry eye). Filler injections to fill in the depressions between the folds might be helpful if there are depressions when not smiling.
You did not submit any photos with relaxed lids so full evaluation is not possible.This needs to be performed by an experienced eyelid surgeon.

A roaring explosion that leveled two homes and set two others ablaze in a huge fire forced about 200 people from a devastated Indianapolis neighborhood where at least two people werr killed, authorities said Sunday. The powerful nighttime blast shattered windows, crumpled walls and inflicted other damage on at least 14 other homes.
Two people were taken to a hospital with minor injuries after the explosion and fire, said Lieut. Bonnie Hensley, with the Indianapolis Fire Department. She said firefighters later put out the flames and searchers then went through the rubble and damaged homes one at a time in case others were left behind. At least one body has been recovered.
Some witnesses said in televised reports that they heard people screaming "help me! help me!" after the explosion and fire and that two parents and two children were safely pulled from one house that caught fire.
"This looks like a war zone; it really does," Hensley told The Associated Press. "Police officers and fire department officials remain at the scene searching for other possible victims." She said they used search lights until dawn as they peered into the damaged and ruined homes.
She declined to identify the only confirmed fatality, saying only that the body was found in one of the leveled homes after the fire was put out. Fire officials told AP after daybreak that they were not immediately releasing any further information until later Sunday morning.
The explosion at 11 p.m. Saturday destroyed two houses that were side by side and spread fire to two other nearby homes in the neighborhood on the south side of Indianapolis, she said, adding at least 14 other homes were damaged in the area by the blast's shock wave or flying debris it kicked up.
The blast was heard for miles all around, and authorities said they had no immediate information on the cause. An investigation by fire and other agencies was under way. Reports said the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives also was involved.

"The betting among Republicans is that Thune remains in the Senate, and the senator himself acknowledges he might stay put…
"'He's young, he's got time,' said one veteran Republican close to Thune. 'He does have that Finance Committee assignment. He's in a good place in leadership, he's a good messenger for the party, and there's a very good chance Republicans can get back the majority in the Senate next year…
"Another source close to Thune was candid.
"'There's not a lot of desire on his part or anybody's in the organization to really ramp up or get organized, or talk to a lot of operatives,' said the source in explaining the silence."
INGRAHAM: Do you think they've called a truce on these issues, governor?
DANIELS: No, obviously not. I said I was thinking of them as much as my own allies when I said it.
The major point, though, was something different, and it was just this: I believe…. that the arithmetic of our times says we are headed for Niagara Falls, fiscally. You cannot run any kind of enterprise — private or public — on a self-governing basis as deeply in hawk as we now are and are going to be…
I would like to think that fixing [the debt] and saving our kids future could be a unifying moment for our country and we wouldn't stop our disagreements or our passionate belief in these other questions, we just sort of mute them for a little while, while we try to come together on the thing that menaces us all.
Via Verum Serum, audio from 2008.
"Romney, continuing a whirlwind tour of television interviews to promote the new paperback version of his book, also talked up potential presidential rival Sarah Palin.
"'I believe she is an extraordinarily powerful and effective voice in our party, that she has generated a great deal of support and attention,' he said of the former Alaska governor. 'She'd be great in a primary process.'
"When Morgan asked whether Romney could beat Palin, he said, 'I don't know the answer to that.'
"The host then asked whether his wife knows the answer.
"'She probably does,' Romney replied."
"Romney also had quite a bit to say about Indiana governor Mitch Daniels' recent comment that China's continued growth and rise in power could be a positive thing for the U.S:
"'First of all their trade policies have been patently unfair. They steal our intellectual property, which is one of our greatest exports. They have artificially manipulated their currency to try and hollow out our manufacturing base and they have made it very difficult for our businesses to be successful in China without having to hand over to Chinese owners trade secrets as well as in many cases ownership. So, they have been a very difficult participant in the world trade effort.'"

The Mid-City Bayou Boogaloo has become one of New Orleans' favorite free festivals since it kicked off in 2006. And this year's fest, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, will likely make the annual event more popular than ever.
The 2013 Boogaloo is hosted on the banks of Bayou St. John by the MotherShip Foundation, a local group with the mission of improving the quality of life of New Orleans residents through the promotion of art, culture and recreation.
"I always wanted to produce a free festival," said Jared Zeller, director of the Bayou Boogaloo and president of the MotherShip Foundation.
"There's a lot of folks who can't attend a major music festival these days because of the ticket price," he said. "So it limits the amount of people that have exposure to … art and culture."
Art and culture will abound at this year's Boogaloo. Festival visitors will have a bevy of family-friendly activities to choose from as well as loads of music to enjoy.
On Friday, acts including Rebirth Brass Band, Partners N Crime with Big Easy Bounce Band, and Alvin Youngblood Hart will take the stage to entertain revelers.
Saturday, bands including Bonerama, Debauche, Nathan & the Zydeco Cha-Chas, and the Brass-a-Holics will perform. Saturday's programming will also include a taping of The Goodnight Show with John Calhoun.
On Sunday, the final day of the fest, acts such as the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, the Pine Leaf Boys, Ironing Board Sam, the Hot 8 Brass Band, Big Chief Victor Harris and Fleur de Tease will perform.
Sunday's programming also includes a bicycle second line spearheaded by local nonprofit group Bike Easy. The second line will take off from the foot of Bayou St. John at 11 a.m. and will make a roughly 11-mile circle around the city, returning to the Boogaloo at around 1 p.m.
As a second line, there will of course be music — this year the Bone Tone Brass Band and the Pocket Aces Brass Band have been enlisted to play for riders along the route.
"It's just a good chance for people who ride bikes to get in there and meet other like-minded people," said Jamie Wine, executive director of Bike Easy.
Bike Easy, Wine noted, will be on hand at the festival all weekend to help with the Boogaloo's effort to be a clean, green festival; the group will be "valeting" and keeping an eye on bicycles for attendees at no charge.
Festival-goers will also have the chance to sample wares from a vast array of food and drink purveyors such as Ralph's on the Park, Rio Mar, Praline Connection, Boucherie, Canal Street Bistro, Mona's Café, Rouses, Bayou Daiquiris, Bratz Y'all and Woody's Fish Tacos.
Food culture will also take center stage at the Slow Foods tent.
Gary Granata, chairman of the Slow Food New Orleans chapter, explained, "The mission of Slow Food is to promote good, clean and fair food."
"Basically, 'good' means you have the right to the pleasure of delicious food that's locally sourced," he added.
The Slow Food group is set to hold four food demonstrations per day on both Saturday and Sunday and, as the Boogaloo coincides with the group's Slow Food USA leadership conference, visitors should be in for some one-of-a-kind experiences.
Sunday's events will also include the renowned Rubber Duck Derby benefiting Second Harvest Food Bank of Greater New Orleans and Acadiana. Bright yellow rubber ducks, adoptable for $5 each, will take to Bayou St. John at 4 p.m. and race for fantastic prizes including a grand prize of $5,000.
"The festival continues to grow at a moderate pace," Zeller said of the fest, which has grown in attendance from 6,000 visitors its first year to about 30,000 visitors (over three days) last year.
"We don't feel the need to book big, national acts," Zeller said. "It's a neighborhood setting; we want to keep that intimacy."
The festival continues to grow in popularity, but happily so do efforts to keep the festival "green."
Zeller explained that the festival will be harnessing solar energy to help offset energy consumption. In fact, he said, "According to my solar installer, we are going to generate about 630 percent more power than we are actually going to use at the festival."
Additionally, Zeller noted a portion of festival proceeds will benefit Restore the Bayou Canopy, a campaign of the MotherShip Foundation to restore trees along the bayou damaged by hurricanes Isaac and Katrina.
One damaged tree is even being transformed into a sculpture by artist Marlin Miller, of Destin, Fla.
Miller, who has been sculpting damaged trees along the Gulf Coast since Hurricane Katrina, said he plans to incorporate themes of nature and music for his Bayou St. John piece. Based on the size of the tree, which is roughly 3 feet in diameter, Miller estimates the completed sculpture will be 20 to 30 feet tall.
"It's going to look a little freaky, and I think I can get away with that in New Orleans," Miller said with a laugh.
Miller began working on the piece a few days before the festival and the sculpture is set to receive its first coat of varnish the Friday the Boogaloo begins.
The Boogaloo will be open from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday.

Men versus Women : The PICAXE Microcontroller
0 comments post a comment
In which I start to play with my PICAXE microcontroller development board / system / kit / thingy / whatever.
With regard to my ongoing Men vs. Women Display-O-Meter project (see blogs #212701651 and #212900832 ... and don't forget that I still need suggestions for a better name than "Display-O-Meter")...
For the last few months I've been forced to work on ... well, work-related projects at the weekends. In fact, this past weekend was the first one that I've had free since "I-don't-know-when." Thus, when my wife (Gina the Gorgeous), who is a realtor, was called away to meet some of her customers on Saturday, I immediately broke out my trusty soldering iron and started to play with the PICAXE microcontroller development kit I'd purchased a few days earlier.
This is just a "teaser" – see more detailed images below....
On the off-chance you're interested, I acquired the majority of the parts (a breadboard with wire links, a voltage regulator kit, a PIXAXE 28X1 microcontroller kit, and a special USB programming cable) from SolarBotics at www.solarbotics.com (see product #28621). These folks were great to work with and the kit arrived in just a couple of days.
I have to say that this is really, really cool concept. In the case of a typical PIC microcontroller, you also need a special piece of hardware to program it. By comparison, in the case of the PICAXE, the PIC microcontroller has been pre-programmed with a little boot-loader program.
The end result is that you don't need a special-purpose programmer. Once you've created a program on your PC using the supplied editor / simulator / whatever as discussed below, you simply click the Run button to download it into your PICAXE via an RS232 or USB cable (I'll write a full "How To" on all of this sometime in the future when I've finished the "Display-O-Meter").
So, the first step was to build a little voltage regulator (as we all know, it's not the size of your voltage regulator, it's what you do with it that counts). I then plugged this little scamp into my breadboard and used my cheap-and-cheerful multi-meter to check that I was receiving the expected 5 volts.
Testing my little voltage regulator.
Next, I soldered the various bits-and-pieces onto the microcontroller board and plugged that into the breadboard as shown below. Note that I hadn't plugged the PICAXE chip into the board at this stage, because first I wanted to use my multi-meter to ensure that I was getting good power and ground connections to the appropriate pins ... and also that I wasn't getting power or ground to any "inappropriate" pins (call me "old-fashioned" if you will).
Checking power and ground to the PICAXE board.
Once I was happy that everything was as it should be, I powered everything down, inserted the PICAXE chip, powered everything up, and checked the voltages again ("better safe than sorry," as they say). I then used the free PICAXE editor software to enter a simple test program (in PICAXE BASIC) that set one output pin high and another output pin low, waited a second, reversed the polarity of the pins, waited another second, and then jumped back to the beginning to do the whole thing again.
Entering a program in PICAXE BASIC.
I connected a light-emitting diode (LED) and associated current limiting resistor to each of the two outputs in question, powered up the breadboard, and hit the Run command to download my program. The dialog on my PC assured me that everything had occurred as expected ... but nothing seemed to be happening...
Bummer! So, it was back to the multi-meter. It didn't take long to determine that the two output pins I had targeted were toggling back and forth as expected, so why weren't the rascally little LEDs flashing? Surely I hadn't connected them the wrong way round (I have my "senior moments," but still...).
No worries... it was just that I'd forgotten to tie the back end of the current-limiting resistors to ground. I quickly added a couple of wire links, my LEDs started to flash like troupers, and I started to perform my "happy dance" (it wasn't a pretty sight).
Hurray! It works! My LEDs are flashing!
When Gina eventually returned, I proudly displayed my masterpiece. Now, Gina has little interest in techno-weenie topics, so it took some time to explain, but she pondered it for a while and then said something along the lines of:
So, if I understand this correctly, you've used your incredibly powerful notebook computer to create a program. Then you've downloaded this program into this computer-on-a-chip that you've spent hours building. And the end result of all of this work is that you can now make these two little lights flash...
Hmmm, it doesn't sound quite so exciting the way she says it. But what Gina doesn't realize is that – armed with my PICAXE – I now have the power to control the world... well, to control my small corner of it (so long as Gina says that's OK).
So now I have my controller... the next step is to start working on a prototype of the fully-fledged "Display-O-Meter" ... watch this space!

We are going to vegetarian friends for Thanksgiving Day which means a very non-traditional meal. Shabbat will
have all the traditional foods instead. Given that we will have two days in a row of heavy meals, the rest of the week is extra light. I am on break for the holiday which means the whole family can eat together.
Monday - Out
Tuesday - BFD - scrambled eggs and pancakes
Wednesday - Wild Rice Salad and biscuits. This is pushing Froggy's comfort zone but expanding horizons is important.
Thanksgiving - We are bringing lasagna
Shabbat - Challah, Gefilte Fish, Matza ball soup, Roast Turkey, Stuffing, Green Beans, Cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, Apple pie

In 1952, IBM developed its first electronic computer, the 701. During the next three years, IBM sold 19 such machines to research laboratories, aircraft companies and the U.S. government.
A lot has changed since then.
This spring, members of the Carnegie Mellon in Qatar campus took a tour of the information age through the seminar course "Perspectives in Computer Architecture," and a distinguished lecture series open to the wider community. Some of their guideswere among the pioneers of computer science.
Among them was Chuck Thacker, a technical fellow at Microsoft Research who helped design and build the Alto, considered to be the first modern personal computer.
Thacker also co-invented the Ethernet local area network, a technology for connecting computers that is still used today. In 2009, Thacker received the Turing Award, which is recognized as the Nobel Prize of Computing.
Thacker described to students during the course of two lectures how computers emerged from a few post-war laboratories to become an indispensable part of our lives. He spoke about the technologies that have enabled computers to become smaller, faster and more usable. He also highlighted important challenges, including a slowing down in the progress as computer scientists begin to push up against the physical laws imposed on them.
Raj Reddy, the MozaBint Nasser University Professor at Carnegie Mellon's Pittsburgh campus, helped toorganize the course with local faculty and taught two lectures on the origins of computers. Reddy, who has been a Carnegie Mellon faculty member since 1969, won the Turing Award in 1994 for his pioneering research on artificial intelligence.
"Raj has been an integral part of the development and continued success of the Qatar campus. With helping us organize this course, Raj was able to connect our students with some of the most important contributors to the information age," said MajdSakr, associate teaching professor of computer science at Carnegie Mellon Qatar.Mohammad Hammoud, a post-doctoral fellow at the Qatar campus, also contributed two lectures to the series.
Joining the group were other distinguished researchers, including Daniel P. Siewiorek, the Buhl University Professor of Computer Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Gordon Bell, one of the inaugural faculty in Carnegie Mellon's Computer Science Department, where he was a professor of computer science and engineering from 1966 to 1972. The university awarded him an honorary degree in 2010. Considered the father of the minicomputer and a pioneer in high-performance and parallel computing, Bell worked at the forefront of the "minicomputer revolution," which brought smaller and simpler computers within the reach of a larger and more diverse range of consumers.
"In me, you're getting a live historian," Bell said. "I've been very close to some of these technologies, so I can give a personal perspective."
KenrickFernandes, a juniorin computer science, relished the opportunity to learn about important developments from people who were immersed in the issues of the day.
"It was humbling to find out that a lot of this technology has been around since before we were born, and it has just become more developed over time," Fernandes said. "For example, we think of parallelism — the idea of combining computers to solve some of the world's great problems — as a relatively new idea, but Gordon Bell has been working on this since the 1970s."
This spring's seminar course wasn't the only opportunity for students to interact one-on-one with renowned computer scientists.
Takeo Kanade, the U.A. and Helen Whitaker University Professor at Carnegie Mellon and one of the world's foremost researchers in robotics, taught an introductory course on computer vision.
Kanade, whose research on artificial vision has applications in autonomous vehicles, facial recognition, medicine, digital camerasand many other areas, enjoyed being a direct link between students and technologies.
"Students often see a theorem or a technology in a textbook and wonder 'how was that invented?' But to the people who have invented them — people who have a lot of experience — it's a natural flow of thinking. It's a great experience for students to be able to talk directly to people and find out how they did what they did," Kanade said.
In addition,Thacker, Reddy, Bell and Kanade each delivered distinguished lectures to faculty, staff, students and the wider community.
"These speakers have been inspirational to our students and younger faculty members. I am delighted to have hosted them on campus and hope they will join us again in the coming years," said IlkerBaybars, dean of Carnegie Mellon Qatar.

Student Finds Way To Pay Off Undergraduate Debt, Avoid Accruing More Debt, All While Getting His Masters Degree
When I finished high school, I decided to go to UNC-Greensboro in North Carolina for a Technical Theater degree. (I wanted to go to Ithaca, but out of state tuition was crazy!) After a year at school, I realized that the degree track I had chosen would require me to take art classes that I knew I would never pass. I can barely make a good stick figure, let alone the things they wanted me to draw! So I transferred to NC State University and decided to be a History major instead. Needless to say, two colleges and two major changes later, I have accrued a LOT of student loan debt that I'm still paying back.

From what I got from talking to him on the phone, the jams are rounds stopping against the feed ramp or less often a stove pipe.
The movement of the guide rod is as you described. It just comes slightly out of the assembly notch. I didn't know that holding the trigger down while removing the slide made a difference with the NY trigger mod. Learn something new everyday.
I'm meeting up with him tomorrow afternoon to hopefully resolve this issue. He's a nice guy and has done a ton of buying, selling and trading on our local gun trade site. It's a good group of people and I just want to make sure he's getting a fair deal and so am I. I'm not gonna leave the guy with a poorly functioning glock.

Same as it ever was - for now
Last year around this time, Pinellas County had a HUGE debate over what time buses should run and school should start. This year, not so much. Yet the result was the same.
Pinellas schools will follow the same opening and closing times with which families have become familiar - for at least one more year. That means 7:05 a.m. start times for high schools, 9:45 a.m. for most middle schools, and between 7:45 and 8:55 a.m. for elementary schools.
Pinellas School Board members approved the start times Tuesday morning, giving the transportation department to continue its efforts to improve routing and scheduling.
While they were meeting, the board also OK'd a plan to allow high school students who are admitted to college half way through their senior year to participate in school sponsored athletics and other activities for the rest of the year. Those students will get to walk with their class in their high school's graduation ceremony, too. It's like high school and college all wrapped into one. Cool.

MemoryMiner for Windows 1.1 has been released.
New feature:
• In the File menu, you now have two new menu items, namely Import and Export which let you do just that: import and export selected portions of your library. In both cases, the file format (.mlz) is a single file (which is actually a zip file) containing the database, all the photo files, all the thumbnails, and any attachments. This format is of course compatible with the Mac version of MemoryMiner.

The HP TouchPad Review: webOS on the Big Screenby Anand Lal Shimpi on July 17, 2011 11:11 PM EST
Reading Documents: Quickoffice for webOS & Adobe Reader
The email and browser apps don't have any built in document readers, instead if you encounter a Word/Excel/Powerpoint document or PDF in an email or on a website webOS will fire up one of two third party apps to help you out.
The webOS port of Quickoffice currently only supports viewing, not editing or creating documents - so you're limited right off the bat with what you can do. For the most part tablets aren't great content creation devices so this isn't a huge loss but it's still an annoying limit. Word, Excel and PowerPoint docs are supported.
The big feature here is that Quickoffice can access both locally stored documents as well as documents stored in the cloud via Box.net, Dropbox, Google Docs or even MobileMe (not sure how the latter is going to fare once iCloud takes over).
While I encountered rendering errors with really old documents I had stored in my Google account, newer documents appeared just fine.
Performance was my biggest complaint here once again. Sometimes viewing a doc would be perfect but occasionally I'd get a ton of slowdown when trying to scroll around an Excel sheet. A more consistent performance experience here would be nice.
Quickoffice doesn't support PDFs however - for that HP bundles a webOS port of Adobe Reader. Adobe Reader for the TouchPad has a very similar UI to Quickoffice, but obviously only supporting PDFs. Like Quickoffice however you can access PDFs stored locally or on any of the aforementioned cloud services.
While you can bring up a page navigation tool, there's no support for searching within PDFs in Adobe Reader.
There's not much to say here other than the Facebook app for the TouchPad is extremely well done. The app makes good use of the TouchPad's larger display and it's relatively quick (although it does suffer the same UI frame rate issues as the rest of webOS 3.0).
The app feels like it's a standard part of the webOS install, which makes sense since it was developed by HP (with Facebook's blessing). All that's really missing now is a Google+ app.

kmmatney - Monday, July 18, 2011 - linkI agree - at this price there isn't much incentive. At this time, it seems like the iPad 2 is still the better device. I don't think WebOS gives you any more "freedom" than iOS. Reply
bpgd - Monday, July 18, 2011 - linkThis is the review I have been waiting for. As always Anand's review is gold standard. He goes into details and really tells how the thing works. Reply
NeoReaper - Monday, July 18, 2011 - linkI feel bad writing this comment because this is actually the first time I've ever posted anything on Anandtech and I've been coming to this site since its inception. I have a lot of respect for virtually every article I have ever read on this site written by Anand with the exception of this one. This is only an opinion but I feel like this review isn't nearly as critical as it should be. Based on what I've read in regards to performance, battery life, bugs, etc.. this device doesn't deserve the pass that you gave (at least that's the impression I get from reading this) This device has too many underlying flaws that haven't been addressed, mainly being the OS performance issues that have existed since the original Pre. Why criticize Skype performance when the screenshot you have cleaerly shows a large number of system services sapping CPU usage for no good reason? I mean, really? Pulseaudio is using almost 27% CPU usage. Maybe I'm interpreting this review incorrectly... I just feel that you were hoping for this device to deliver but reality it doesn't and you're simply hoping that OS updates will resolve the performance issues. If you want to believe that, why not expect the competition to make an update to the OS which boasts features that will make it better for office productivity? Hope is for fanboyism, a reviewer should be deliver facts without twisting it with what could be. Your final words are completely contradictory to itself. I hope you re-examine your review. As I've said already, I have great respect for you, Anand, and I've praised virtually every article you have ever written, but this article I cannot. Reply
lunarx3dfx - Tuesday, July 19, 2011 - linkOne thing you might want to keep in mind though, is that while pulseaudio was using 27% of CPU resources, is that necessarily HP's fault? I would be more inclined to believe that the fault lies with the developers of pulseaudio for not making a well optimized app.
Now, I'm not excusing the glaring flaws with the Touchpad, however I have not noticed the majority of the performance issues reviewers have seen with my personal TP. That's why in an earlier comment I wanted to know what build of the OS Anand's unit is running. I think reviewers got an earlier build that may not be as optimized as the release build.
I was in Staples the other day, and the demo unit was running build 16 whereas the release models are running build 41. Reply
NeoReaper - Tuesday, July 19, 2011 - linki see your comment regarding the build number now, it would be very interesting to hear back from Anand regarding the build he was running and whether or not any performance issues have really been fixed. as for the pulseaudio thing, pulseaudio is a linux audio service so the state of its optimization would be HP's fault. It is not a third party application. As I said, my main gripe with the review is that even in the final words portion of his article, many statements are contradictory. How productive can it be when he states that the unit is runs slower than its main competitors in virtually every aspect? How can you justify weight and size with such poor battery life and performance? Maybe I'm being a bit too harsh but the problem is, all the underlying "performance" issues that he states are in the Touchpad are the same problems that plagued the Pre, Pixi, and Pre2. I would love for HP to "fix" the performance issue, but maybe its not really that easy to "fix". Reply
lunarx3dfx - Tuesday, July 19, 2011 - linkI forgot about pulse being a linux service. Whoops. lol. I can expplain the extra weight and thickness of the device though. Well, HP did. The reason it is so much thicker and heavier according to them, which makes sense to me, is the inclusion of the inductive charging coils. Reply
NeoReaper - Tuesday, July 19, 2011 - linkahh, ok ok, that makes sense. Reply
Leonick - Monday, July 18, 2011 - linkThe keyboard is actually pretty impressive compared to the competitors, having both a numbers row with special characters and a tab key.
I also like how it handles the settings compared to iOS, having settings in the individual apps make a lot more sense in my mind that a centralized app, still iOS apps can do this if the developers choose to and when there are any settings you might want to change more than once or while running the app the generally do so.
Seems they got notifications pretty right for a tablet too. Pretty similar to how honeycomb does it it looks like. I think the system coming with iOS 5 will do fine for the iPad but it's still not perfect, it seem to be lacking statusbar icons to show that you have notifications and it would be neat if it could display upcoming calendar events and not just events with reminders (like the cydia app Lockinfo does).
Also, it was mentioned how the system was similar to notifications on a PC, well that's understandable, they do have plans to put WebOS on PCs. Reply
Belard - Tuesday, July 19, 2011 - linkI agree with you on the keyboard. When I played with the Playbook, I noticed the keyboard right away and LOVE it... iOS and Android should COPY this onto their own devices... ah, let the lawsuits fly.
When you have passwords that are combos of numbers and letters, going back and forth can through you off (it does me).
I'd give HP/WebOS a 10 for the keyboard. I'd give Android and iOS a 6 in comparison.
The Settings Icons for WebOS are a pain.... You have to open one after the other, and if you DON'T close the, they'll stay in memory - constantly running. Reply

Thank you for the question and picture. Despite your good description of your body type and goals, online consultants will not be of specific enough help to you. Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering revisionary breast augmentation surgery ( regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is:
1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you're looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.
2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals.
In my practice, the use of photographs of "goal" pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as "natural" or "porn star look" or "D or DD cup" etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate.
The use of computer imaging technology may also be very helpful during this communication process.
3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery.
I hope this (and the attached link, dedicated to larger looks) help.

My Grandfather
Charles George Levenhagen
Michael Braget
6th Grade 1996, Tri-County School, Karlstad,Minnesota
My grandfather, Charles Levenhagen, was born July 3, 1927,in Allamakee County, Iowa.
He lived on a farm that had about 52 acres of land space.It was a small farm. His dad built a barn on the farm. They had a littlecreek that ran through the pasture. His family went swimming and fishing.He had five brothers and three sisters. He had one sister older that him.He had little fun and a little hard time because it was during the depressionand people didn't have much. There was a lot of work to do at home. Everythingwas hand work and they only had one team of horses.
He went to a country one room school that was about twomiles from his home. One teacher taught all eight grades. He said he neverreally liked school that much. At one time, there were fourteen childrenat the school that were all Levenhagens. For that, they were in Ripley'sBelieve It Or Not. But there were usually about twenty kids in the school.The first teacher they had lived about a half a mile from the school. Ona cold winter day, she would have somebody go and start a fire for her.
When he lived in Iowa, he went hunting and trapping a lot.He would hunt many things like squirrels and rats.
His neighbor had a fox hound and they would take it outand hunt fox. That was their entertainment back then. Because, if they weregoing to play a ball game, they would play in school. The only game theywould play was softball. There was no basketball except for big high schools.
Everyday, before he went to school, he would check histraps on his trapline. He would trap things like skunks and raccoons.
He would never skin any. He would freeze the bodies andbring them to a guy that lived about three miles away. He would use thebodies for grease. For a good coon, he would maybe get fifty cents. He wouldsave the money or his dad would take it if he needed it.
When he was a kid, he would do a lot of outdoor activitiesbesides hunting and trapping. He and some of his brothers and sisters wouldget some sleighs and go sleighing. He said "funny no one got hurt".Because they would pick a day when the snow was just melting so it was niceand slick. He said that you would go pretty fast down those hills. Otherwise,he and his brothers and sisters would go swimming in the creek. Which, ona warm day, you would freeze your tail off.
On Christmas of 1946, his family ended up in Donaldson,MN where they only spent one year. In 1947, his family bought a farm justa little north of Lake Bronson, MN. They were going to go to Canada butit was just after WWII and they didn't want that much labor in Canada. Heworked for about 3-4 other people before joining the service.
Now, about when he was in the service. He was enjoyinga regular day when he went and got the mail. He was surprised when he founda slip of paper in the mail that said "You're in the army now"and that was it. When he started out he was in Indiana. Then he was sentto Georgia and then he took a real big boat over to Korea where he foughton the front lines. There was no fun there because you did not get muchsleep, if any at all, because you would have to fight and there was no wayout of it. You fought or you got killed.
When he was there, the troops were not doing the greatest.When his time was up, he left, but some of the higher rank men were notso lucky. They had to stay because they needed the troops. This way, althoughyou don't hear much about it was a big war. Lots of men were dying of thingsbesides war and in the war they lost even more.
He got back from the service in 1952. He took his brother'scar back because he took that down to the dock to get on the boat. He broughtthat to Minneapolis and bought a new rifle, picked up his brother, and wenthome for deer season.
When he got back home, he bought the farm from his dadand started to be a beef, dairy, and crop farmer. He married Ardyce Petersonand had three kids: Richard, Arnita, and Evonne Levenhagen. When Richardwas old enough, he took over the dairy section of the farm. Charles livesnow with his wife still on the farm with beef cattle and crops. His hobbiesinclude, fishing, collecting guns, and hunting. He is now at the age of68.
I got all of my information from my grandfather, Charles.

BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) — Shocker. It was a Boca Raton woman who diverted a Delta flight because someone reclined the seat in front of her.
Amy C. Fine, 52, who lives on Melbourne Lane in Boca West once ran the creatively named "Bark-A-Raton" pet photography business. Now, she's laying low, ignoring requests from media for an explanation as to what allegedly set her off on the — shocker — NYC to West Palm Beach Flight.
Fine was escorted from the plane by police in Jacksonville after she allegedly told flight attendants she needed to get off. No charges were filed. She was walked to the rental car facility.
We should note that Fine has no record in Palm Beach County for pretty much anything — sans a speeding ticket more than a decade ago. She owns her condo. She's never been arrested. Probably should stay out of coach seating in the future.

Six people were killed and several were wounded overnight in a stampede at a concert held in Tunisia. According to AFP, the stampede took place at a theater at Sfax, 300 kilometres south of the capital Tunis, where a concert was being held for the popular TV program Star Academy Lebanon, an official said.
The official news agency Tunis Afrique Presse (TAP) reported the stampede occurred shortly after 9.00pm.
A major surge of enthusiastic spectators began when stars from Tunisia and other Arab states appeared on stage. One of the female singers, from Sfax, had many local fans in the audience, witnesses said.
Several spectators fell down during the stampede and were trampled, a witness said.

Of the four regions in the NCAA tournament, one could argue that the West does not have as much appeal as the three others after a wacky opening week.
The top seed, Gonzaga, is out, as are New Mexico, Kansas State and Wisconsin - Nos. 3, 4 and 5, respectively.
Meanwhile, the top four seeds remain intact in the East. Both the South and Midwest have each of the top three seeds alive, and Florida Gulf Coast, the No. 15 seed in the South, has captivated the nation with its historical run.
Remaining out West are: No. 2 Ohio State, No. 6 Arizona, No. 9 Wichita State and No. 13 La Salle. The Buckeyes (28-7) and Wildcats (27-7) will tip off at 4:47 p.m. Thursday at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, and the winner will advance to the Elite Eight.
The team left standing also will have the overwhelming odds stacked in its favor for Saturday's West Regional final against either Wichita State or La Salle. Although boring to some, Wildcats head coach Sean Miller is not complaining about the perceived easy route to the Final Four in Atlanta.
"If it's the worst regional, good, great. I'm glad I'm here," Miller said. "I mean, the thing about the tournament is nobody looks back and says, 'Boy, what an easy road or hard road.' You either advanced or you didn't."
The players are not getting too caught up in the talk of which regional is "sexier," either.
"I feel like my teammates are handsome, you know. But that's (beside) the point," UA guard Mark Lyons joked.
Among the storylines in place is the relationship between one-time colleagues Miller and OSU head coach Thad Matta, who will meet for the second time in the NCAA tournament. While at Xavier in 2007, Miller lost in overtime to Matta's Buckeyes in the second round, 78-71, after Ron Lewis' 3-pointer with two seconds to play in regulation.
Miller took over at Xavier after Matta left for OSU in 2004, and the two also were assistants under Herb Sendek on the Miami (Ohio) staff in the mid-1990s.
The coaches grew close over the years and were once roommates. Matta remembers a "sloppy, sloppy" friend.
"The thing about Sean that I've learned over time is whenever we'd go somewhere, he'd forget his wallet," Matta said.
If there is one thing Miller is sure of, it's that Matta is not a fan of traveling too far away from home. More than 2,200 miles away from Columbus, the Buckeyes - 7-0 at neutral sites this season - are expected to walk into a sizeable Wildcats homecourt advantage.
"But I guess if there's one small advantage we have, we have [Matta] in a place that he's not real familiar with, a long way from home," Miller said.
But the game ultimately will be decided by the players on the court, and no matchup is drawing more interest than the Lyons-Aaron Craft duel at point guard.
The two are fairly different. Craft is a pass-first point guard with pesky defense and a calm influence on the Buckeyes. Lyons is more erratic, a combo guard learning to run a team on the fly, and a chucker who can catch fire just as quickly as he can go cold.
After shooting in the low 40s during the regular season, Lyons has made 62.5 percent of his shots and totaled 50 points through two games in the tournament.
"[Lyons] can score in a variety of ways and get a shot off, which is always very tough," Craft said.
But the two also are proven winners. Craft led the Big Ten Conference champions to a fourth consecutive Sweet 16 after drawing a questionable charge call and scoring the final seven points - including a 3-pointer with 0.5 seconds remaining - in a 78-75 win over Iowa State. The Buckeyes are seeking back-to-back trips to the Final Four.
Lyons, meanwhile, will be the first player in tournament history to play on two different Sweet 16 teams in back-to-back seasons. A graduate transfer from Xavier, where he was originally recruited by Miller's staff, the 6-1 guard appeared in three previous Sweet 16s with the Musketeers but has advanced no farther.
And another win is all Lyons wants - regardless of the attention he and his counterpart are receiving.
"Honestly, I'm just trying to win games," Lyons said. "Everybody is caught up in this one‑on‑one matchup, and I'm not looking at it like that. If my team wins, all of us look good, and that's all that really matters."
Not to be forgotten is the one preseason All-American in the contest, Buckeyes forward Deshaun Thomas. The 6-7, 215-pound junior is averaging nearly 20 points per game with an inside-outside ability to finish at the rim and score from beyond the arc.
Guarding him will be the Wildcats' own versatile forward, Solomon Hill - who opened the year as the starting small forward before sliding over to power forward when Kevin Parrom was inserted into the starting lineup late in the season.
While Thomas has been tabbed a mismatch for Arizona, he sees a similar problem in Hill, who is shooting slightly below 39 percent from long range.
"He's a great player. He's a great offensive player," Thomas said. "He can make shots. He's a mismatch nightmare out there too at 6-7, long, and can play the post, can shoot the 3. He's a great player. It's going to be a great matchup, and I'm looking forward to seeing it."
While "sexiness" is subjective, one thing is for certain: One coach will have his team a step closer to Atlanta after the final buzzer and handshakes are exchanged.
"I don't like the fact that we're playing, but I'm happy as can be for him," Matta said.
