Turkey fryers: a potential hazard for serious accidents and fires
Send a link to a friend
[November 21, 2012]
As millions of families across the state prepare to celebrate
Thanksgiving with a traditional feast, the Office of the State Fire
Marshal reminds residents to exercise safety while cooking,
especially when using turkey fryers. According to the National Fire
Protection Association, Thanksgiving continues to be the leading day
for home cooking fires in U.S., more than any other day of the year.
members in charge of cooking should always practice common sense and
safe cooking practices," said Larry Matkaitis, Illinois fire
marshal. "Turkey fryers continue to pose a considerable risk for
fires if recommended procedures are not followed."
Many fire departments have shown that deep fryers tend to be
top-heavy and have a risk of tipping over, overheating or spilling
hot oil, leading to fires and burns. When a frozen, cold or even wet
turkey is submerged, bubbling hot oil spills over the pot's rim and
onto the burner, causing an explosion.
The Office of the State Fire Marshal, in accordance with the U.S.
Consumer Safety Commission, recommends that consumers who prefer the
method of turkey fryers should follow the following guidelines:
Keep turkey fryer
in FULL VIEW while burner is on. Do not leave unattended.
Place turkey fryer
in an open area AWAY from all walls, fences or other structures.
Never use IN, ON,
UNDER or close to a garage, breezeway, carport, porch or any
structure that can catch fire.
Completely thaw
turkey (USDA says 24 hours for every 4 to 5 pounds) and dry it
before cooking. Wet turkeys can produce excessive hot oil
splatter when added to the oil.
Raise and lower
food SLOWLY into fryer to reduce splatter and avoid burns.
COVER bare skin
with protective clothing when adding or removing food from the
Check the oil
temperature frequently.
Make sure there is
at least 2 feet of space between the liquid propane tank and
fryer burner.
Place the liquid
propane gas tank and fryer so that if there any wind, it blows
the heat of the fryer away from the gas tank.
Center the pot over the burner on the
[to top of second column]
If oil begins to
smoke, immediately turn gas supply OFF.
If a fire occurs, immediately call 911.
DO NOT attempt to extinguish the fire with water.
Other holiday cooking safety tips:
Stay in the
kitchen while you are frying, grilling or broiling food.
If you are
simmering, baking, roasting or boiling food, check it regularly.
Use a timer to remind you that you are cooking.
Keep anything that can catch fire --
oven mitts, wooden utensils, food packaging, towels or curtains
-- away from your stovetop.
In case of a cooking fire, remember the following information:
If your home
catches fire, leave the building immediately and call 911.
ON A GREASE FIRE! Pouring water on burning grease or oil will
not extinguish the fire. Burning oil will splash, spreading the
grease fire over a larger area.
For an oven fire,
turn off the heat and keep the door closed.
If clothes catch
fire, STOP, DROP AND ROLL to extinguish the flames.
If a frying pan catches fire, turn off
the burner immediately and smother the fire.

Gratigny Plateau Park concepts revealed
Renderings drawn up from neighborhood ideas
MIAMI – Renderings of what the new Gratigny Plateau Park could look like were released Thursday, amid growing excitement and concern for the project.
PHOTOS: Gratigny Plateau Park design concepts
Eleven-year-old Joseph Lamothe said he would love to trade his toy basketball for the real thing and play on a court. He also said he would like to see a playground for his younger sister, Rebecca.
"When she heard there would be a park here, she was so happy," Joseph said. "She was jumping and jumping and jumping. She said 'I can't wait! I can't wait! I can't wait!"
But some adults who live nearby said they are worried about the noise generated by children at play and wondered if the neighborhood was safe enough to support a park. Community leaders working with Local 10 on the park project heard from neighbors last week, and the opinions were mixed.
"Later in the evening there's heavy traffic here back and forth," Marjorie Smith, who lives next door to the park, said.
"There's drug dealing and gunfire in my neighborhood," said Sean Smith.
Others were just as excited as Joseph Lamothe, and overall, the consensus was a desire to transform a vacant lot into a safe spot for families.
"I'd love to see grass here," one woman said.
"I want to see my grandkids also have the same opportunity as I did, to play outside instead of being inside," another man said.
"I wish I had it when I was growing up," Smith said.
Landscape architect Kona Gray came up with three ideas based on ideas and suggestions from neighbors.
"We've heard it before, many neighborhoods transform their neighborhoods by taking back their open spaces," Gray said. "The most important thing about what we do is listening first, once we understand what people need then we can design."
Now, the exciting next step in the park project will allow the community to get a chance to see their ideas transformed into artwork, as Gray's first renderings showcase both promise and possibility.

By Teachers, For Teachers
Children are working to save lives in poor areas of Kolkata, India. They work to combat poverty, forced child labor and, through their efforts, dramatically transform their neighborhoods.
That's the premise of The Revolutionary Optimists, a documentary airing on PBS' Independent Lens. Filmed over the course of several years, the film shows young people as change makers, fighting for a better future.
After viewing the clip with your students, ask them to complete the following writing exercises, which are designed to enhance both their writing and critical thinking skills.
In the clip Amlan Ganguly talks about the ways his work with the children empowers them to fight for a better life for themselves, their friends, and future generations. Have students write a paragraph describing the one person in their life who inspires them to be the best they can be.
The children Amlan Ganguly works with goes to community elders to ask for a new playground and other things. Instruct your students to write a one-page essay that explains what neighborhood improvements they would ask their elected officials to make. The paper should detail the ways those improvements would enhance everyday life for the community's residents.
The beginning of the clip shows very young children making bricks, when they should be going to school. Have your students write a two-page essay that explores how lack of education keeps children and, ultimately, an entire community in poverty. Instruct them to include a paragraph or two that describes how their lives would be affected if they were not afforded the opportunity to attend school.

2) Commercial Property Managers - whether they manage one or two buildings or thousands.
3) Elevator installation and repair companies that respect quality and service
4) Other elevator industry professionals
A key requirement is the logo needs to be unique. There are way too many logos that are basically two arrows that someone sketched up (one arrow points up and one down - just Google the term elevator logo and you'll see: http://images.google.com/images?q=e…tor%20logo ). While that idea DOES convey elevators, it is highly overused. If your design uses this element, please be sure it is done in a unique and interesting way!
Also worth considering is the fact that there are a HUGE variety of interesting elevators out there, plus we inspect escalators, dumbwaiters, wheelchair lifts, etc.
Also, the logo will be used for print (forms, brochures, etc), website logo, AND (very important) embroidered on shirts, hats, and jackets.

At noon Dec. 19, a group of about 50 housing activists led by the Housing Rights Committee gathered at 18th and Castro, next to the giant Shopping Season Tree, to discuss the wave of evictions tenants are facing at the end of 2012. Tommi Avicolli Mecca held up a list of 26 buildings that are currently being clear of tenants under the Ellis Act, a state law that allows landlords to evict all their tenants and sell the property as a single-family home or tenancies in common. With him was a long line of tenants who are facing holiday homelessness thanks to landlord greed.
"There are too many tenants being evicted to fit in front of the tree," he said.
We heard story after story: A man living with AIDS facing the loss of his home after 17 years. A family being forced out after 18 years. Seniors, kids, disabled people … all of them almost certainly displaced from San Francisco.
"San Francisco is becoming a city of the rich, and we are being pushed aside," said Lisa Thornton, who works at Rainbow Grocery and is losing her home.
"This," Mecca said, "is an epidemic of evictions."
And we all know why: As the second tech boom roars in to San Francisco, high-paid young workers are able to afford to buy TICs or single-family homes, and long-term rent-control-protected tenants simply can't compete. It's not a pretty pciture.
So I almost barfed when I say Randy Shaw's glowing paen to Mayor Ed Lee. "San Francisco had one of its greatest years in 2012, as the city's job growth and vibrancy outpaced nearly everywhere else," he wrote.
Oh, gee, he says, there are some problems:
Few want San Francisco to become a city where only the rich and subsidized poor can live. But these same fears were felt in the 1980's. When I was moving to San Francisco in 1979, the lines for vacant apartments were just as long and the competition for vacant units as fierce as what we read about in 2012. We couldn't believe we had to pay $375 for a Mission one bedroom apartment, a rate that is less than half the cost of an SRO room without private bathroom today. San Francisco has long been an expensive city that keeps getting pricier.
So what — because we were worried about displacement in the 1980s means we shouldn't be worried today? Those worries were real — gentrification of San Francisco neighborhoods has been rampant for decades. It's changed the city, for the worse.
In the 1980s, Shaw was part of a broad coalition that fought to get rent control laws and eviction protections and limits on condo conversions. Now he's acting as if none of that was worth the fight, as if protecting affordable housing wasn't, and isn't, the most critical issue in the city today.
A great year? Fantastic vibrancy and job growth? Not if you're one of the growing numbers of people who are losing their homes to Ed Lee's vision of economic development.

Data Constructors In Math
This is a short post — nothing deep or complex, but just a simple observation. Often, distinctions that are made in programming language reflect ideas that already exist, but that we tend to be less clear about, in other contexts, too!
We make an observation about Haskell…
In Haskell programming, there's a distinction between a variable, which starts with a lower-case letter, and a data constructor, which starts with an upper-case letter. For example, consider the following declaration of a familiar data type.
data Bool = True | False
This defines the type Bool, and its two values True and False. They are data constructors. On the other hand, we can also write this:
true = True false = False
This defines two new symbols, true and false (note the lower-case letters) that mean the same thing as True and False…. sort of. They mean the same thing only when they occur in the context of an expression. Still, there remains a difference: True and False can occur in pattern matching, which true and false cannot.
At first glance, this looks like a rather arbitrary distinction. Pattern matching, after all, is a particular Haskell language construct. Indeed, there are plenty of languages without the distinction. But is it really all that arbitrary?
Ultimately what's happening here is that Haskell has provided us with syntax to say that True and False are defined on the fly by virtue of their occurring inside the definition of Bool. Furthermore, since they have no other definition to tell us otherwise, we're left to assume that values built from different data constructors are distinct, as are the values obtained by applying any one data constructor to different arguments.
While we wrestle with these issues in Haskell programming, mathematics students in an algebra course are tackling a different problem: the lecture notes for their courses don't seem to make much sense! They start out with some analysis, where they come across the following:
Consider the sequence obtained by multiplying corresponding elements of x and y. Let …
This they understand: Here x and y are essentially maps from the natural numbers to values of some sequences. These maps were defined earlier, and now specific values of them are obtained by applying them to particular natural numbers. Now on to algebra, where perhaps they are learning about Leavitt algebras, and their notes say:
The Leavitt algebra L(1,n) is generated by together with relations…
Almost exactly the same wording occurs here ( for certain values of i), but at first the students are very confused. Here, there are no maps x and y that were previously known. Our hypothetical students are left to figure out on their own what the x and y might mean.
Hopefully, these students eventually realize that here, the x and y are is being defined right here alongside L(1,n). Before that sentence, x and y meant nothing in particular. From context, one infers that they are maps from numbers to L(1,n). Because no one mentioned otherwise, one is supposed to assume that values taken by x and y are distinct, as are the values of each of x and y when applied to different arguments…
Ah ha!
Now we get to the point. What's happened here is that our hypothetical mathematics students have encountered the difference between a variable and a data constructor. Their analysis notes were using variables, while their algebra notes were using data constructors. But in the mathematical world, there is no distinct notation to clarify what is going on!
Perhaps it would be made clearer if we rewrite their notes in Haskell. In the analysis context:
x :: Int -> Double y :: Int -> Double p :: Int -> Double p i = x i * y i
While in the algebra context, we have:
data LeavittGenerator where X :: Int -> LeavittGenerator Y :: Int -> LeavittGenerator
The data constructors are now clearly something different, as they begin with capital letters!

Cool, it was nice to see a Parallel between haskell and Math. I don't understand most of them, but this one was simple and i got it! Nice =)

Check out the book "Logic, Induction and Sets" by T Forster. It is intended as a book on logic and set theory to go with a course for mathematicians, but he borrows the language of ML-type languages, including the term "constructor". He also uses the term "founder" to mean elements of your structure that are explicitly listed.

Actors who played The Soup Nazi from "Seinfeld," Gus Fring from "Breaking Bad," Mika Samuels from "The Walking Dead" and Trinity's son from "Dexter" are just some of the celebrity guests appearing at Hartford Comic Con this weekend.
This is the first year of the pop culture and comic book convention at the XL Center, featuring entertainment for fans of comic books, science fiction, fantasy, Anime, television series, film and horror, according to the convention website.
After an art show and silent charity auction for migrant farmers across the street at The Tobacco Shop on Pratt Street from 7 p.m. to midnight on Friday, the XL Center will open the doors on Saturday for the two-day convention.
Giancarlo Esposito, who played Los Pollos Hermanos owner and a drug lord on AMC's "Breaking Bad," Lt. Tom Neville on NBC's "Revolution" and the genie and reporter Sidney Glass on ABC's "Once Upon a Time," will be at the event for photo ops on both days and to speak at a panel on Sunday from 1 to 2 p.m. called "A Journey through Science Fiction TV."
Katrina Law from The CW's "Arrow" and "Spartacus" on STARZ is part of a "Spartacus" panel on Saturday from 2 to 3 p.m. that also features stars Liam McIntyre, Anna Hutchinson and Ellen Hollman. She'll also be available for autographs and photos.

Movie massacre Texas victim laid to rest
Friends gather to remember life of Jessica Ghawi
SAN ANTONIO, Texas – Hundreds gathered to remember a young Texas woman whose dream of sports reporting was cut short by a Colorado killer.
The 24-year-old former San Antonio resident was one of the 12 victims of the Aurora Colorado shooting massacre.
"If this coward could've done this with this much hate, imagine what we could do with this much love," said Jordan Ghawi, Jessica's brother.
"Jess was a force to be reckoned with. She was a jolt of lightning a world wind. A lab puppy running clumsily with innocent joy," said Jessica's friend, Peter Burns.
One by one, a dozen people who loved her most shared memories and stories of how the fearless red-head impacted their lives.
Jessica had dreams of becoming a sports reporter. A dream her family said she pursued with a fiery passion. A dream that will never be realized.
The Ghawi family has set up a scholarship fund to help fulfill the dreams of others like their beloved daughter.
"She's gonna live on through this scholarship fund. Her dreams were not fufilled but through her, others will," said Jordan.
Jessica's friend, Brent Lowak, also from Texas, was Jessica's companion at the theater that night. He was wounded and is now on his third surgery. Lowak's friends in Houston held a fundraiser for him Saturday at Saint Arnold Brewery to help with his increasing medical bills. If you would like to donate, you can visit any Wells Fargo branch and ask for the Brent Lowak expense fund.

While on its mission to provide free information, the Houston Public Library has to swat at the occasional counterfeiter.
At each of the library's 42 locations, equipment at the circulation desk includes a counterfeit detector pen.
Widely available at office supply stores, the pen contains a solution that detects bills printed on common copier paper rather than the cotton-and-linen-fiber paper the U.S. government uses.
When a librarian marks a bill with the pen and the mark turns black, that means the bill is bogus. If the mark turns yellow or remains clear, the money is good.
For about a month, Houston's libraries have been checking all bills larger than $1, said spokeswoman Sandra Fernandez.
"All of our libraries had already been checking all bills $20 and above," Fernandez said. "We just recently started checking lower bills."
The library's Financial Services Division decided to change the policy after the discovery of some phony small bills.
"We took a step back and decided to check lower denomination bills," she said.
Although the library doesn't deal with a lot of cash, it takes in money for overdue-book fines and book sales, she said. Under the new policy, those bills must be examined.
"We're sorry for the inconvenience to our customers," Fernandez said. "We have to make sure the impact to us and to them is minimal."
Whenever fake money shows up at the library, its Financial Services Team must give the bills to the library's bank, which then files a report with the U.S. Secret Service.
Although not high-tech, the pen is a useful tool for libraries to screen incoming cash, said Cynthia Marble, the Secret Service special agent in charge in Houston.
"It's certainly a first line of defense for them to check something like that," Marble said. "But that doesn't mean it's 100 percent foolproof."
For example, it won't catch the counterfeiter who turns a genuine $1 bill into an illegal $20.
Authorities haven't seen an upsurge in counterfeit small bills in Houston, Marble said.
Although would-be counterfeiters have increasingly sophisticated photocopiers at their disposal, their efforts don't always match the technology, Marble said.
"It's easier to produce, but the quality is not all that good," she said. "Merchants and banks are very astute. They handle it all the time. They know what they're seeing, what they're feeling."
Thankfully, there doesn't seem to be a trend of counterfeiters trying to unload small bills at public libraries, said Marcia Warner, president of the Public Library Association, based in Chicago.
Houston's recent policy of checking even $5 bills is the first such move she had heard about, said Warner, who has been a library director for 34 years in Michigan. "We're pretty trusting as a profession," she said. "I don't think it's a widespread issue."
The U.S. Secret Service offers these tips on detecting counterfeit bills:

Wewahitchka Jr./Sr. High School participated in a quadrangle wrestling meet against three Bay County schools.
The format provides not only three separate dual meets for each team, but is an easier way to give inexperienced wrestlers mat time.
Coaches can better match up their athletes by ability � and weight � whereas in a tournament a first-year wrestler could be going up against a potential state champion.
Springfield Rutherford hosted a meet against Arnold, Bay and Wewahitchka last Tuesday.
Bay was 2-1, Wewahitchka 1-2, and an Arnold squad that left some of its top wrestlers at home was 0-3.

Ivona Svobodnikova, Captain of Czech Republic
"We played without reception and team spirit. We had problems in our game during two of the three sets. Germany served very well and was two steps above us today."
Sarah Petrausch, Captain of Germany
"All the players in our team did a good job today so it was a team effort. Our serves were very consistent as also was our blocking. I am happy about going to the next round but I would like to go as winner of our pool."
Stanislav Mitac, Head Coach of Czech Republic
"Congratulations to Germany, which in my opinion is one of the best teams in the world and they must be one of the top three here. About the match today, we did not play a good reception and you can't play volleyball without a good reception."
Han Abbing, Head Coach of Germany
"I am very happy about going to the next round. We watched the game of the Czechs against China and somehow found a way to stop (Tereza) Vanzurova. We did a good job against her. Also in the close battle we played point by point and didn't panic."

|Splotchy-pattered frost on the window, and the tree from the first photo beyond.
This time, rather than snowshoeing, we hiked, possibly using chains on our boots. This may have been the trip when our chains iced up, making walking awkward, and causing us to revert to just boots.

|Flow patterns in ice.
|Intriguing flame-like structures in ice, with flowing water beneath.
|Side trail into snow.
The creek and frozen waterfall at third-mile creek crossing was covered with ice thick enough to walk on. (Photo below: compare to this photo from my last post.)
|I can see at least five layers of ice in this photo: the first is a broken one around the edge, the second is the one the surface hoarfrost is growing on.

Very interesting point from one of the greatest opening batsman of all time! Anderson is no doubt a good bowler in English conditions and when the ball in swinging he has proved this a few times now."This has been a big incident, hasn't it," Hayden told Triple M Sydney's The Rush Hour, clearly having lost none of his sledging bravura. "In reality, James Anderson was a B-grade bowler who got his arse-whipped by Australia that many times it's not even funny
The last time England were in India he averaged 53.50 with the ball frankly that is a cause for concern from England's point of view.
Once we see off the new ball he will be very easy for our top order to negiotiate it will be like Matthew Hoggard all over again (with slightly more pace)
Hayden has played some amazing knocks and faced some of the best opening bowlers that the game has ever had, so these comments are very interesting indeed.

Cobwebs, the Way I Talk, and Shallow Rabbit Holes
So, yeah… it's been a while since I posted anything. I've been thinking about New Year's Resolutions and just in case I decide one of my resolutions is to resume blogging, I thought I should see if everything is still working. It is.
WordPress is updated and it took most of the afternoon to rid the place of spam comments. I'm not sure I got them all. I also updated the spam blocker.
To get things started, here's something that has caught my interest this week: How Y'all, Youse and You Guys Talk.
Oddly enough, I did not answer "y'all" to the first question. It's still "you guys" most of the time even though I've lived in the South for over 40 years after growing up in SW Colorado. So, the general geographic area is OK, but the shading is all wrong. I have never lived more than 10 miles east of the Texas border. I have never been to Columbus GA, I drove through Mobile AL once about 20 years ago, and visited Montgomery AL for the first time this past September.
I was so surprised by the results that I've taken the test several times. My very first results were Birmingham, Montgomery, Mobile. When I answered "y'all", I got Jackson, Birmingham, Columbus. The results can't be compared exactly, because the questions vary a bit each time.
So many things to question about this test. First, the ultimate map puts me so firmly in the South when more than half my answers to questions were accompanied by small maps that either orange or light blue all over. Two other questions yielded maps that were decidedly blue in the area the test decides I'm from, my choice of "you guys" being the prime example.
Several cousins took the test and we compared the results on Facebook to further reduce the scientific validity of this whole thing. It was fun. Some of the results were exactly where the person lives now and has for his/her whole life, along with their parents. Where the results got interesting were among those of us who were born well away from where we now live. Even though we don't perceive our speech changing all that much, the fact that there chinks the test noted but classified in ways that stuck us as odd is interesting. Interesting without much depth, but I am noting the results in the genealogy file just for kicks.

By Chad Bray
Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES
NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--A subscriber filed an antitrust lawsuit against Sirius XM Radio Inc. (SIRI) on Monday, alleging the merger of Sirius and XM last year created an abusive monopoly that has raised prices "above competitive levels."
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan on Monday, alleges the combined company has raised its prices and failed to increase consumer program choices despite its commitments to regulators before the merger was approved.
"The company's illegal and deceptive conduct has harmed competition and injured customers in the (satellite digital audio radio service) market in the United States," the complaint said.
The lawsuit claims Sirius XM committed to the Federal Communications Commission not to raise prices of its basic package for 36 months after the merger was completed.
Instead, Sirius XM has used its monopoly power to raise fees not governed by the FCC's order, such as the fee for multi-radio subscribers, according to the complaint. The lawsuit claims a multi-radio subscriber with one additional radio has seen their subscription fees increase by 40% since the merger.
The complaint, which is seeking class-action status, was filed on behalf of Carl Blessing, a Florida resident and Sirius XM subscriber, by law firms Grant & Eisenhofer PA in New York and Cook, Hall & Lampros LLP in Atlanta.
The lawsuit claims Sirius XM violated federal antitrust laws and state consumer protection statutes.
A Sirius XM spokesman didn't immediately return a phone call seeking comment late Monday.

I did a bronze look because I wanted to try out a lipgloss that I bought (Revlon Super Lustrous lipgloss in the color Pink Pop, it's so pretty) and I was wearing a really bright shirt. So I think this is just the bronze color from the Kat Von D tattoo chronicles palette with Urban Decay's "Twice Baked" in the outer v.
I wanted to do something with yellow. And then I decided I wanted to use pink too. And this is what came out of that. I'm not a huge fan but it was ok for something a little different. I used primarily Ben Nye pigments for this.
I like teal/turquoise with black so this was me playing around with those colors together. Haha this look (in real life) totally reminded me of something Olivia from Jerseylicious would have done(yes, it's a guilty pleasure haha). The blue color is NYX Ultra Pearl Mania in "Turquoise."
And then lastly this look was me wanting to use a warmer color, so I picked Inglot's 450p eyeshadow (very similar to NYX's "Rust", just slightly more purple) and I was trying to choose what color to use in the crease and I chose MUFE 92 (I know, I know... again?) but I really like the way those colors work together. This is my favorite look of the bunch.
That's my makeup excitement for the past week. I'm sorry again that I've been so boring! I attempted (especially in the last 2 looks) to use different techniques on my eyebrows to see how I like them to look. Usually I just use a powder shadow from Inglot to do them but I used some of Meme's tips (she has an awesome tutorial HERE if you want to check it out) and did them a little differently. I don't have a brow pencil so I used the coolest toned brown eyeliner I own for them haha. I think I'll have to practice some more to get them right.
I hope to be posting more but my inspiration comes and goes so I can't promise anything haha. Thank you all so much! And I'd like to say hi to my new followers as well! Thank you so much everyone! Your support means soooo much to me!!!

It's almost here! I'm so excited to be able to start sharing more about my upcoming book release, Beyond Neutral: Quilts Inspired by Nature's Elements, published so graciously by Martingale / That Patchwork Place.
Beyond Neutral features 16 of my original quilt patterns featuring some of my favorite designs and fabric combinations inspired by the colors of our environment. Think of colors drawn from earth, grass, leaves, sky, water, coral, and lava. And all of the quilts are spectacularly photographed in some of the most beautiful natural settings in the Pacific Northwest that I've ever seen.
I'll be sharing more images, sneak peeks, and stories about the book in coming weeks. In the meantime, the book is available for pre-order on Amazon with a scheduled release date of May 6th.
Get excited!

When users first got a Wii U home after its launch, it was tough to just plug it in and play. There were firmware updates. Many services then required their own updates. You couldn't play Wii games without downloading updates. Updates updates updates.
While it was an understandable inconvenience - come on, it's a new console! - Nintendo president Satoru Iwata is still sorry about the whole thing, telling IGN "Personally I think that users should be able to use all the functions of a console video game machine as soon as they open the box".
"So I feel very sorry for the fact that purchasers of Wii U have to experience a network update which takes such a long time, and that there are the services which were not available at the hardware's launch."
It's OK guy, we survived, but I'm sure the apology will be appreciated by many regardless.

Ellen Beardsley
Winner of the 1981 Sophie Kerr Prize
Ellen Beardsley invested her Sophie Kerr Award in travel and finding her way in literary and academic pursuits. She claims that the greatest benefit of the prize was the freedom it provided, and that it continues to influence the way she thinks and writes.
She was a tutor at University College Cork for several years, while writing her "research only" MA dissertation on Joseph Addison, the 18th-century "Architect of Opinion". During the same period, she reviewed books regularly for The Irish Times, The Cork [Irish] Examiner, the TLS and other publications. She also conducted writing courses in the area and lectured part-time at the Cork and Waterford Institutes of Technology.
From 2000 until 2010, she served as a telecommuting writer for the now defunct academic publisher H. W. Wilson. Telecommuting on full salary, she claims, was brilliant while her daughter was growing up, and it also gave her the liberty to continue working with horses.
Ellen is a registered and highly respected instructor and examiner with the Irish Pony Club. For ten years, she was the yard manager and PA of Robert Splaine, the Chef d'Equipe of the Irish Show Jumping Team. She continues to ride up to eight horses a day and competes whenever the opportunity arises.
The plan at the moment is to bring together ALL the life skills together by securing a lectureship in equine studies at a third-level Cork institution, while also finishing a novel and writing a much-needed guide for aspiring professional grooms.
Ellen has been bashed up on numerous occasions, and her daughter (who has also been bashed up), has been instructed to sell her dear mammy as scrap metal upon her demise.
Ellen Beardsley had a small bit of a hiccough a couple years ago and briefly thought about returning to the States for good. She got sense, though, when it dawned on her how badly the US treats the elderly. She'd much rather grow old and poor in Ireland, now that the Sophie Kerr proceeds are well and truly spent.

|Happiness :)
Oh oh… how lazy it is to go back to work after a 3-day long weekend!!! This morning when my alarm was ringing, I had to set a program into my brain telling myself that today, is Tuesday, 29th July 2014. It's a stock-taking day, day 1. And this week, it's gonna be a very busy week as month-end closing will all need to be settled. After that, I went back to relax myself on my bed for a while, still reluctant to get up and only 10 minutes later I got myself ready.
Am I growing old? Or is it just the way things are when habits and liking changed? I spent most of my weekend's time at home. I did my bi-weekly housework for a whole Saturday, slept whenever tired, and ate whenever I was hungry.
|July fruit season
On Sunday we went out to our old neighborhood's market to have our breakfast and buy some fruits that were on seasons. OH, there were mountains of mangosteen in the market accompanied with durian. I can't believe it that I haven't eaten any single durian this year!!! But you know, it's all blaming it to where I stay now hahaha… because we can't anyhow transport the durian using bus, MRT, or even TAXI. As citizens without owning a car, we have no choice but to limit our wants or otherwise, cycling to the nearby durian stall, which is not so near from our house. Forget about the durian then!!!
I bought mangosteen, apple, and cherry instead :) It's gonna be end of cherry season soon and finally I managed to buy the hand-picked good quality and size at a very attractive price – seems like I become more like Aunties these days hahaha… :D
On Sunday itself, it was marked as the first day of seventh lunar Ghost month. Chinese believes that on the first day of the month, the Gates of Hell are opened to allow ghosts and spirits access to the world of the living. The spirits usually spend the month visiting their families. So, if you come to Singapore, you will see common sight here whereby people burn the joystick and candles, poke it into the soil outside the HDB blocks and burn the money notes which they believe the death can use it in their own world.
It is believed as an inauspicious month too where people usually won't choose any date of this month to get married, buy house and cars, move house, start new business, etc. Pregnant women are advised not to go out at night too but stay inside the house to prevent unwanted thing. Feel a bit eerie, isn't it? Even as I type this, I can feel the goose bumps on my skin. Luckily I dropped the idea of watching the Hong Kong ghost movie out when my bestie asked me to go along. I scared I couldn't sleep peacefully at night hehehe…
Anyway, just be positive ba! Pray that all sentient beings to be happy. Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu…
|Food from Bangka Island :)
My relatives came on Sunday from my father's hometown in Indonesia. They helped me buying some their local food delicacies that tastes so delicious! There were suckling pig, fishcakes, otak otak (kind of fish cake but wrapped with banana leaves), and kue lapis (many layer cakes). We really had 'kou fu' – (luck in tasting good food) and this food supply was able to maintain us for two days' dinner :)
In the evening they came to my house together with my brother and his families. We had a chit chat for an hour and so. After that, I continued my day by reading the book outside my balcony accompanied with tea and snacks. The weather these past two days were cloudy and cooling. I could sit comfortably outside my balcony. Oh, I really loved that feeling!!!
In the evening my son and I went for cycling. A little exercise to activate my muscle ^^ At night I watched Running Man before going to sleep. I believe that these series are able to make me laughing uncontrollably and keeping me happy and stay young :)
|Hari Raya food from dear neighbor :)
Monday was the Eid al-Fitr, Idul Fitri, Hari Raya or Lebaran in Indonesian, a big day celebration for all Muslims around the world. It was like their New Year celebration after finished fasting for one full month. They usually spend the day by going to their parents and relative's house, feasting and chit-chatting. So, the night before the day, my neighbor, a young Muslim couple, came at night bringing their home cooked food for us. Ketupat – a rice cake wrapped with coconut palm leaves in a square shape was made to replace the usual rice. He and his wife cooked the sambal sotong (cuttlefish with chilli), satay sauce (to be eaten with ketupat), and marinated chicken with spices.
Wow, we were very lucky lah!! Therefore, on Monday, again, we stayed at home. I cooked breakfast for my hubby and son, a mee suah soup (white long life noodles) with veggies, mushroom accompanied with fried egg and sausages. I spent most of my day reading book (finally finished the One hundred years of solitude and started with Moth Smoke by Mohsid Hamid).
|My favorite past time :)
The weather was cloudy again, very good and suitable to spend the day outside, sitting down at my balcony, sipping Rose tea and eating the kueh lapis. It was really my favorite past time! How I wish I can spend the rest of my days doing things like that, or everyday perhaps hahaha… plus cycling in evening time and watching the sunset went by. At night, I watched another series of Running Man and enjoyed the sumptuous dinner at home.
That's why it's kinda hard for me to wake up and go back to work this morning. This too makes me wanting to take a loooongggg break once I quit my job (one day), just to relax and travel, before continuing with a new job, if there is any hehehe… What a thought! Daydreaming again? Now? Better not!!! Only the pay slip that I received just now making me motivated again and let's finish this, another month-end!!! ;)

Doxorubicin, an anthracycline antibiotic, inhibits DNA and RNA synthesis in mammalian cells and has been shown to be a very effective anti-tumor agent (1,2). Doxorubicin binds to nucleic acids by intercalating the DNA double helix and stabilizing topoisomerase II cleavage complexes, leading to DNA strand breaks at specific doxorubicin-induced sites (3). Doxorubin has been shown to inhibit DNA synthesis in a dose-dependent manner in MCF7 cells, which corresponds closely with growth inhibition (4). Researchers have also demonstrated that doxorubicin effectively inhibits human DNA topoisomerase I (5).

LP: From looking through these books and from flipping through magazines from the early 1970s, it seems like often the concept or solution to almost any ad or design was entirely typographic. Can you tell me a little about Herb Lubalin? I've heard his name for a very long time - I see it again and again in these early 1970s NYAD Annuals - and I'm wondering if he was one of the people who shifted the visual landscape in commercial art.
MT: Absolutely. He was an "illustrator with type."
Herb was the most talented and best graphic designer I ever worked for. Whether it was when he was with U&lc (Upper & Lower Case) or some other client, he made every job I ever did for him look infinitely better after he got through with it.
(Below, the December 1979 issue of U&lc, art by Murray Tinkelman, design by Herb Lubalin)
MT: He would make additions - not on my art, but in the typography and design - he was a genius; a true, true genius.
(Below, from the 50th NYAD Annual, design & art direction by Herb Lubalin, 1970)
LP: And the thing is, Murray, I can't help but think that the beauty of working with type - in the manner Herb Lubalin did - is lost on most of today's designers. Do you know what I mean?
MT: Yes I do.
LP: Like, I don't think there's that same appreciation for how beautiful and vital letterforms are, the way it was when he and his fellow designers... When I look at that early '70s period in graphic arts, that typifies that period; that loving treatment of typography at that time.
MT: Yes it does. And the use of hand lettering. Tom Carnase did a lot of the hand lettering for Lubalin.
(Below, from the 50th NYAD Annual, hand lettering by Tom Carnase, design & art direction by Herb Lubalin, 1970)
LP: Right.
MT: It was, in those ways, really a golden era and I was lucky to have come on the scene at that time and work with Herb Lubalin. You know, in one of our earlier conversations I mentioned that breakthrough I had at the Saturday Evening Post... and Herb Lubalin was acting art director at the Post when that piece got published.
LP: Oh my gosh!
(Below, Saturday Evening Post DPS by Murray Tinkelman, October 1961, art direction by Herb Lubalin)
MT: Yeah. I did a painting, 18" square of this wolverine and it had a tree in the background and a little bear climbing the tree and a little collage butterfly, a pink sky... and when I picked up the magazine at a newsstand; seeing it printed for the first time ever, I thought, "My God! Where's my piece?! It's been destroyed!" And then it took about ten seconds for me to realize it was so much better now, with all that crap removed and his incredible typography surrounding what was left of my painting. (Murray chuckles)
That got in every show; it got in the Type Directors' Show (not because of my painting, because of Herb's type), it got into the Art Directors' Show (because of Herb's art direction), it got into the Illustrators' Show (that, at least, was because of my painting).
LP: Although this early '70s ad series below isn't by Herb Lubalin, I find it demonstrates in the most spectacular fashion the effectiveness of strong typography as an integral element in a powerful graphic design.
LP: Lubalin said "You can do a good ad without good typography but you can't do a great ad without good typography." I think this series proves his point.
Continued tomorrow
* Murray Tinkelman has won Gold Medals from The Society of Illustrators, The New York Art Directors Club and The Society of Publication Designers. He has over 200 Awards of Merit from The Society of Illustrators. Murray is the director of Hartford Art School's limited-residency Master of Fine Arts in Illustration program.

According to local news reports, on August 11, Klymentyev was seen leaving his home in the city of Kharkiv, in eastern Ukraine, with an unknown man in a BMW. The reports did not specify who saw Klymentyev that day. He has not been seen or heard from since. The journalist's girlfriend reported his disappearance to authorities on August 12, Kharkiv regional police said in a statement. On Sunday, investigators with Kharkiv's Dzerzhinsky District Police Department opened a criminal case classified under the criminal code as "premeditated murder," the statement said. They have not named any suspects or motives in the case.
Mikhail Dobkin, governor of the Kharkiv region, told journalists that classifying the case as a murder rather than a disappearance allows investigators to use more tools to search for Klymentyev, the Russian service of the U.S. government-funded Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty reported.
Novyi Stil
specializes in reporting on corruption in local government and law enforcement,
the Ukrainian
service of RFE/RL reported. Klymentyev's deputy, Petr Matviyenko, told
Authorities announced today that beachgoers found Klymentyev's cell phone on a boat on Pechenezhskoye lake, outside of Kharkiv, the independent news agency Interfax-Ukraine reported.
"We are deeply concerned about the well-being of Vasyl Klymentyev
and call on the authorities in Kharkiv to carry out a thorough, comprehensive
probe into his disappearance," CPJ Europe and Central Asia Program Coordinator
Matviyenko told
In an interview for the Kyiv-based independent daily Segodnya, Matviyenko said that in 2008 someone had followed Klymentyev in a car that later turned out to have false license plates.
According to the Kyiv-based news agency UNIAN, Kharkiv police announced a reward of 20,000 Ukrainian hryvnas, (about US$2,500) for information that would help locate Klymentyev.

As we slide past the midway point of 2013, the stock market has just produced its first negative, not to mention most volatile, month in the last eight. On the fixed income side, the exit from bond funds was proceeding at the highest levels since 2008, while overseas, politics and bank problems were reviving concerns about Europe's sovereign debt crisis and its effects on global investor sentiment. For investment thrill seekers, the resulting volatility at period end was probably a lot of fun.
Actually, the first half of the year included enough thrills and chills for just about any investor. The bigger question now is whether we have to keep the seatbelts fastened for the second half. While there are lots of opinions on the near-term prospects for the global markets, there are none more valuable than those of investment managers with 'skin in the game.' As a provider of qualitative manager research and due diligence, we're fortunate enough to be in constant contact with separate account and mutual fund managers competing in their marketplaces on a daily basis. What these professionals say matters, and here's what we're hearing them say. Here's a sampling.
U.S. Equities
Ken Shaw, CFA, Senior Investment Analyst, Envestnet | PMC
Consensus Viewpoint: It's an overworked expression to be sure, but the majority of domestic managers we talk with are 'cautiously optimistic' on U.S. stocks. And for good reason: There are plenty of things to like here at home. Among the positives on the U.S. are strong market fundamentals, a slowly improving economy, increased consumer spending resulting from the housing and stock market rebound, and the significant amount of cash larger firms have accumulated for mergers and acquisitions. There are reasons for caution, too, and managers expressed real concern that a reduction in quantitative easing could cause the economy to stall or even contract. Professional investors also noted that with margins near all-time highs, earnings growth will be impossible without top-line growth from economic expansion. China and Europe lurk in the background with potential to derail U.S. growth.
The Outlier POV: The outlier viewpoint on the U.S. is that massive debt and quantitative easing coupled with political gridlock will bring about another stock market crash and push the economy back into recession. Worst case, the Fed and U.S. government will be "out of bullets" to stimulate the economy leading to a long period of sustained economic suffering.
International Equities
Brandon Smith, Senior Investment Analyst, Envestnet | PMC
Consensus Viewpoint: Within the international equity arena, the most prominent view of managers we talk with is optimism toward emerging markets (EM) equities. Managers commonly point to myriad fundamental factors in EM countries that are supportive of their view, including GDP growth nearly double that of developed countries, a large and quickly growing middle class that should dramatically increase domestic consumption, a fiscal surplus that starkly contrasts with fiscal deficits across developed countries, valuations that are as cheap as they've been in the past three years, the continued need for EM infrastructure investment that should accelerate GDP growth, and the strengthening inter-EM trade that should lessen reliance upon more sluggish developed economies. As a result, many managers under our coverage maintain significant allocations to EM equities.
The Outlier POV: Contrarily, a few managers with whom we speak point to a slowing Chinese economy, continued discomfort arising from the Euro crisis, recent declines in EM profitability, and slowing EM GDP levels. These managers have reduced exposure to EM equities.
Domestic Fixed Income
Jessica Leoncini, Senior Investment Analyst, Envestnet | PMC
Consensus Viewpoint: On the bond front, most domestic fixed income managers appear to be preparing for heightened volatility stemming from the Fed's potential 'tapering' and continued economic uncertainty in the U.S. and Europe. Amid already tight spreads, many managers have been moving up the quality spectrum within their portfolios and moving duration closer to that of their respective benchmarks. In addition, some managers have been increasing their cash position to help mitigate portfolio volatility, manage potential outflows, or to fund opportunities that may arise as riskier assets are periodically sold off.
The Outlier POV: Away from the consensus, there are managers forecasting worse-than-expected economic outcomes and a lack of Fed tapering until mid-2014 at the earliest. Reasons for such an outlook include the lack of catalysts to bring down unemployment and boost GDP, an absence of inflation, and the end of Fed Chairman Bernanke's term in early next year. Strategically, these managers are more likely to focus on the lower quality segment of the high yield market, where valuations are less sensitive to technical factors in the market.
Summing Up: Watch Your Managers
Given the magnitude of disagreement among professional investment managers and the markets they observe, the 'return to volatility' that marked the end of 2013's first half may well have set the stage for its second. There is no clear or easy approach, in other words, and the thrills and chills are likely to continue.
We believe the next six months hold the prospect for real investment gains in important markets like U.S. stocks, international equities and domestic fixed income. They also hold the potential for real surprise. We can't imagine a time when it was more important to carefully monitor the managers you've selected to run your clients' investments. The second half of 2013 is going to be a tough one to navigate – stick with managers that stay true to their style, their stated objectives, and their overall philosophy. And keep your seat belt buckled.
