What should I feed?
New to growing veg, I'm confused about what needs feeding and what to feed with, I'd like to be 'organic'
I have a couple of courgettes, tumbling tomatoes,potatoes,cucumbers and if they grow minature beans.

Different veg have different requirements.
The key to understanding fertilisers - organic and chemical - is the NPK code that you'll see on the packaging. N = Nitrogen; P = Phosphorous; K = Potassium. Each of these three have different purposes in the fertilising process.
Nitrogen encourages leaf growth. In short, anything that is grown for its leaves - salad veg, silver beet, cabbage, etc - benefits from nitrogen. On the other hand, veg that produces fruit - toms, cukes, eggplant, etc - doesn't need more than a minimum amount of nitrogen. Too much nitrogen and they will produce foliage at the expense of fruit.
Phosphorous encourages root growth, flower development and general plant health. Leafy veg doesn't need a lot of it, but the fruit-bearing veg benefit from it.
Potassium (Potash) supports flower production and fruit development. No use to leafy veg, essential for fruit-bearing veg.
The actual NPK figures on the packaging tell you the percentage of each contained in the overall fertiliser. Eg, 7:7:7 means 7% each of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. It's called a balanced or all-purpose fertiliser, for obvious reasons.
So, in very simple terms, it's basically a matter of determining into which category your veg falls - leafy or fruit-producing - and using a fertiliser whose NPK ratio matches its needs.
Toms, for example, need a small N figure, a higher P figure, and an even higher K figure. Little nitrogen because you don't want to encourage too much leaf growth at the expense of fruit; more phosphorous to encourage root and flower development; more potassium to encourage fruit development. A ratio of something like 3:7:10 for toms would be ideal.
Then you get the idiosyncratic veg like peas and beans. They need next to no fertiliser - provided the soil is good to start with - because they manufacture their own nitrogen.
Beyond the NPK component, fertilisers also contain various minerals and micro-elements that some plants need more than others, but I'd need a book to detail them all.
The bottom line, though, is that if the garden soil - or whichever medium you use - is good and healthy to start with, veg shouldn't be over-fertilised. About the only exception might be salad veg - lettuces, etc - which do actually benefit from being pushed along. I use an ox blood-based fertiliser, almost pure N.0

Thank you for a very useful post Italophile - I have often been confused about potassium and nitrogen, which is fruit and which is leaves, no longer!! I find liquid seaweed a very good all round fertiliser, and give the whole garden a shake of organic chicken manure early in the season, just for a jump start. After that, I try and use what is appropriate for each thing, knowing that eg. clematis are hungry and greedy, but other things need very little help.
I shall print your post and keep it to hand.0
Many thanks for really helpful reply.0

Hi there. Come on in, have a seat. Comfy? Can I get you something to drink? Now, let's get social for a few minutes.
We may not have been properly introduced, but I feel like I know a bit about you anyway. You're interested in family history or genealogy, right? Of course, you are. That's why you're here.
You may be an accomplished genealogist with carefully researched and verified lines dating back centuries. Or you may be more interested in uncovering the stories behind those names that populate your family tree. On the other hand, you might just be curious or new to family history, which is now the No. 1 global hobby.
You obviously use computers and have entered the sometimes scary world of weblogs. What about the other social media, like Facebook and Twitter? Many of you have drawn the line there for your own reasons. I understand that. I was drawn into both by others in recent months and have been evaluating them ever since. Here are my early conclusions:
For awhile I was posting the same information on Facebook and Twitter but have recently separated the two. For now, Facebook is for my "Facebook friends." Facebook friends are not the same as my real friends but are people I have met and want to keep in contact with. We both have to agree to that premise, therefore they get more personal treatment.
On Twitter, though, anyone can choose to "follow" you. This is much more impersonal to me but has a viral quality Facebook doesn't have. This is where I post links to interesting family history or genealogical sites I run across. You don't need to be my "friend" to get this, but you do have to "follow" me. I'm still looking for the real value to me.
Some people treat Facebook and Twitter as a numbers game, accumulating as many friends or followers as they can. I don't, although I would love to have thousands of people following me on Twitter. But there's no way I would follow more than a few dozen folks on Twitter. It would be just too hard to manage it all without adding another program to sort it all out.
Then there's the privacy issue. My marketing friend Drew McLellan – one of the savviest and most generous social media folks around – had a recent post with some great tips on preserving some of your privacy on Facebook.
What do you think? I'd be curious to hear about your experience with Facebook, Twitter or any of the other social media sites out there. Please share in the comments section.

Dengue Fever
If you live in a tropical country or you've visited one, you may have heard of a disease called dengue fever. Dengue fever might sound exotic, but its nickname — breakbone fever — is anything but. So what do you need to know about it?
What Is Dengue Fever?
Dengue (pronounced: DEN-gee) fever is an infectious disease. It can cause high fevers, headaches, rashes, and pain throughout the body. Although dengue fever can be very painful, it's not usually fatal. Most people who get it start feeling better after several days and recover fully in a couple of weeks.
In some cases, dengue fever can turn into something more serious known as dengue hemorrhagic fever. This can cause bleeding, vomiting, belly pain, and even death. People with dengue hemorrhagic fever need to be treated in a medical facility immediately.
Dengue fever is common in tropical and subtropical climates. It's a big problem in some countries in Latin America and Southeast Asia. Dengue fever is rare in the United States, but it can happen.
How Do People Get It?
When a mosquito bites a person who has dengue fever, the mosquito becomes infected with the virus that causes the disease. It can then spread the virus to other people by biting them.
Dengue fever is not contagious, so it can't spread directly from person to person. Since different viruses can cause dengue fever, someone can get the disease more than once.
What Are the Signs and Symptoms?
Dengue is also sometimes called "breakbone fever," which might give you an idea of how painful it can be. The disease isn't actually breaking any bones, but it can feel like it is because of the joint and muscle pain.
Symptoms of dengue fever usually appear 4 to 14 days after someone has been infected. Some people infected with the virus won't have any symptoms. Others will have symptoms for 2 to 7 days before getting better.
A person with dengue fever may notice these things:
- high fever
- pain behind the eyes and in the joints, muscles, and/or bones
- severe headache
- rash
- bleeding from the nose or gums
- bruises that form easily
Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever
People with dengue hemorrhagic fever have the regular symptoms of dengue fever for 2 to 7 days. After the fever goes down, they may notice these additional symptoms:
- nausea and vomiting
- severe abdominal pain
- difficulty breathing
- severe bleeding
If dengue hemorrhagic fever is not treated right away, a person can have heavy bleeding and a drop in blood pressure, and could even die.
When Should I Call a Doctor?
If you think you might have dengue fever, call a doctor right away. You also should call a doctor if you develop symptoms of the infection after going to a region that has dengue fever.
A doctor (or nurse practitioner) will examine you. He or she will ask you questions about how you're feeling, your medical history, and recent travels. Your doctor might want you to give a blood sample to test for the disease.
If you've been diagnosed with dengue, call your doctor or get to a hospital emergency room right away if your symptoms get worse or if new symptoms appear, especially in the day or two after the fever goes down.
How Is Dengue Fever Treated?
For mild cases, doctors usually recommend drinking plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration, getting lots of rest, and taking acetaminophen to relieve the fever and pain. People with dengue shouldn't take medicines with aspirin or ibuprofen, which can make bleeding more likely.
Most cases of dengue fever will go away within a couple of weeks and won't cause any long-term complications. But dengue hemorrhagic fever requires treatment in a hospital with intravenous (IV) fluids and close monitoring. That's why it's really important to call a doctor or go to the ER if symptoms are severe or get worse in the first day or two after the fever goes away. (That's when dengue hemorrhagic fever is most likely to develop.)
How Can I Prevent Dengue Fever?
You can help keep yourself free of dengue fever by avoiding mosquito bites. That's not always easy, though. If you live in or will be visiting an area where there's dengue fever, it helps to take these precautions:
- Use screens on doors and windows. Repair broken or damaged screens quickly. Keep unscreened doors and windows shut.
- Wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, shoes, and socks when you go outside.
- Use mosquito netting over your bed at night.
- Use an insect repellant as directed. Choose a repellant with DEET or oil of lemon eucalyptus.
- Limit the amount of time you spend outside during the day, especially in the hours around dawn and dusk, when mosquitoes are most active.
- Don't give mosquitoes places to breed. Mosquitoes lay their eggs in water. So get rid of standing water in things like wading pools and gutters. Change the water in birdbaths, dog bowls, and flower vases every few days.
There is no vaccine against dengue fever yet. Since the infection is common in tropical and subtropical areas, take precautions when visiting those regions to avoid the disease./p>

Stephen Miller
As the CEO of the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity, Stephen Miller is a politically influential face of the coal industry. Miller is a graduate of the University of Kentucky and the UK School of Law.
Miller has been involved in politics, government and social policy for 30 years. He co-founded the Center for Energy and Economic Development (CEED) and was named President and CEO in 1994. Miller also helped lead the creation of Americans for Balanced Energy Choices (ABEC). These organizations, which consolidated into ACCCE in 2008, are coal industry astroturfing groups meant to convince lawmakers and lay people that clean coal is a viable and environmentally sound energy option. To accomplish this mission, ACCCE spends millions on advertising, public relations and political lobbying to promote the coal industry's claims of climate-related solutions. This money comes directly from the country's major coal-generated utilities, coal producers, and railroads.
Our strategy in dealing with mercury has been two-fold: prevent states from taking precipitous or unwarranted action to regulate mercury and engage in the federal rulemaking to protect the interests of coal-based electricity.
-Leaked CEED strategy letter to Peabody CEO, June 18, 2004
"Indeed, many scientists maintain that [greenhouse gas] emissions from electric power plants are not contributing significantly to overall warming trends."
-The Nation, April 13, 2009
"We know there has never been an environmental challenge to using coal to generate electricity for which technology has not provided the ultimate answer. Climate change will not be an exception to that rule."
"Climate Policy" video, ACCCE media room
Before becoming ACCCE, the Center for Energy and Economic Development (CEED) worked with the Western Fuels Association (a coal utility coalition) and Greening Earth Society (a publicity front group) to adamantly deny that carbon dioxide is an atmospheric pollutant, lobbying against the Kyoto Protocol. The Western Fuels Association, then led by current Peabody CEO Fred Palmer, and the Greening Earth Society are known for non-scientific claims of supposed environmental benefits of carbon dioxide emissions. Additionally, Greening Earth Society's "scientific advisors" have ties to ExxonMobil through their institutions.
ACCCE spent over $12 million from 2008-2010 on lobbying, almost $10 million of which was spent in 2008 alone.
In the 2008 election year, ACCCE spent $40 million on television and radio advertising, profoundly influencing the political attention that coal received. At the Democratic and Republican National Conventions, ACCCE spent $1.7 million on advertising and outreach. Additionally, direct lobbying from Miller effectively reversed a statement from Joe Biden suggesting the Obama/Biden platform would not be supportive of "clean coal" during the 2008 election season.
Source: The Wall Street Journal
A leaked 2004 letter from Miller (then with CEED) to former Peabody CEO Irl F. Engelhardt reveals CEED's efforts to prevent greenhouse gas regulation on national, regional and state levels, stall EPA regulation of carbon dioxide through the Clean Air Act, and weaken standards for haze and mercury pollution control. Concerning mercury regulation, Miller wrote:
"Our strategy in dealing with mercury has been two-fold: prevent states from taking precipitous or unwarranted action to regulate mercury and engage in the federal rulemaking to protect the interests of coal-based electricity."
In August 2009, Select Committee on Global Warming Chairman Ed Markey (D-Mass.) investigated forged letters sent by an ACCCE contractor to three House lawmakers. Miller admitted to the existence of the forgeries and released a statement on Aug. 3, 2009, which read, in part:
"Because of Bonner and Associates' misconduct, we apologize to the community groups and the Members of Congress involved. There is no place for this type of deception. We applaud efforts to ensure that everyone involved in the public policy dialogue lives up to the highest ethical standards."
While testifying under oath about the forged letters before Congress, Miller falsely claimed that his organization had only participated in direct federal lobbying since 2008.
On September 6, 2010, Miller wrote a response letter to the editor of the New York Times, expressing opposition to EPA's ability to regulate greenhouse gases.

- 4 Implementation
- 5 Team and Contact
- 6 Presenter Screen
- 7 ToDo
- 8 Submissions
The presenter screen for Impress is a feature (currently in development) that aids a presenter during a slide show. It provides information on a second screen, that typically is not visible to the audience. This includes
- a view to the currently displayed slide (for when the presenter faces the audience and can not see the primary screen)
- a preview of the next slide or next effect
- the notes of the current slide
- the current time and/or the elapsed time
- navigation buttons for going to the previous/next slide
Here is how it will look:
Secondary screen visible by the presenter
Secondary screen "Notes" mode
Secondary screen "Got to Slide"
The presenter screen will be an extension. However, some core libraries will have to be modified and extended to support the presenter screen extension.
Presenter screen is a working title. It is sometimes called Presenter View or Presenter Console.
The draft specification can be found here.
The presenterview child work space concentrates on the necessary changes and additions mainly in the sd project. However, much of the implementation of the extension is already present in the sdext project.
The planned presenterscreen child work space will very soon finalize the actual extension. For example the integration of the new UI as shown above will take place in this cws.
A developer snapshot is available from the Presenter Screen/Developer Snapshot page.
The description of the implementation of the presenter screen has its own page: Presenter Screen/Implementation.
There is an outline of how to implement a new UI control for the Presenter Screen: Presenter Screen/How To Add a New UI Control.
Team and Contact
Please use the email@example.com mailing list for questions, comments, problem reports or if you want help develop the Presenter Screen.
The following people are currently working on the presenter screen:
- Andre Fischer (Development and iTeam Lead, Sun Microsystems)
- Christian Jansen (User Experience, Sun Microsystems)
- Christoph Lukasiak, Wolfram Garten (Quality Assurance, Sun Microsystems)
- Uwe Fischer (Documentation, Sun Microsystems)
Presenter Screen
The Presenter Screen is a feature for Impress that gives the presenter information during a presentation that is not visible to the audience. This information appears on a second screen and thus requires that at least two screens are present, for example a laptop computer and a beamer. At the moment this includes:
- A live view of the current slide. This view shows the current slide exactly like the audience sees it, together with any effects.
- A static preview of the next slide. This allows the presenter to prepare for the next slide before the audience can see it.
- A clock shows the current time.
- The notes of the current slide are displayed in a rather large font so that the presenter has not to be directly in front of the screen.
- A tool bar has some navigation buttons and shows the number of the current slide and the total number of slides in the slide show.
- (not yet fully implemented) A slide sorter can be displayed on demand for fast navigation to a specific slide.
This set of controls and their individual capabilities is not yet final. For example:
- The static preview of the next slide could be a static or even a live preview of the next effect. This is important when for example there is bullet list whose entries appear one by one. It would be important for the presenter to see at least the next entry.
- The clock could show the time elapsed since the start of the presentation.
- The notes view does not yet show the mark up of the notes text.
Focus and Keyboard
With two screens showing the presentation at the same time the problem of focus handling arises. One solution is to avoid this problem by
- having no control on the Presenter Screen that accepts or even grabs the focus,
- let the Presenter Screen react to key presses in the same way the full screen presentation would.
- Finalize specification
- Finish implementation
I deliberately didn't look at the spec until after I did this because I didn't want my view to be coloured by it. This is a small version, I'm mindful of being on a dialup connection.
screen sized version is here
I will expose my bias here from the start, I come at this from an Educators point of view and as a consequence this submission is geared at a specific usage pattern. I use Impress all the time. My Data Projector is with me all the time as constantly as my Laptop.
I'll tackle the elements one by one.
The Notes pane on the left. Presenters should rarely have more than bullets and Key words in here. Column view is much better for that. In Notes view therefore while editing, the default should be two columns and slide. One Narrow Keywords column and a wider Detail column. Picture here. In Presenter Mode only the Keywords column is shown, both are printed when printing handouts.
I don't believe it is necessary to show a full view of the slide that is being displayed, it's up on the screen already, title and number yes and possibly a thumbnail in the top of the Keywords Column
Also it is unnecessary to have a Navigation buttons. Mouse buttons are the accepted method. One of the most frustrating things about Impress right now is the right click menu while in Slide Show mode.
The behaviour should be:
- Left click = forward one slide
- Right click = back one slide
The reason for this is that good presenters prefer to be away from the computer using remote control. Normally these have left and right click only. Impress forces you to be at the computer if there is a need for the ability to backtrack. This is extremely bad usability having to rush up to the computer just so you can go back one slide. There isn't even the ability to change this behaviour in the Customize Dialogs
The Slide Preview Box should be the largest element and the default function on "Run Slideshow"/F9 would be click on the box for "Next Slide". Default display on "Start" would the slide following the one that is presently on screen,
In my version the Preview Box is an active element and displays editing On The Run. Either as a preview before Submitting the edit to the display or displaying real time editing of the slide. It would work something like this:
- On Start: Preview Box takes the focus. Mouse clicks advance slides in the normal manner, displays Next slide as default.
- Click Live Edit: Preview box changes from "Next" to "Present" slide. Clicking a text box in the Slide displays the content of that box in the "Add Content" Box in which that content is editable and is instantly viewable on the display
- Click the "Add Content" Box also displays present slide.Clicking a text box in the Slide displays the content of that box in the "Add Content" Box in which that content is editable but is not displayed on the Screen in real time until:
- Click Submit assigns the edit to the Display and returns the Slide Display to Default Slide Show behavior
- Shift + Submit assigns the edit to the display but stays in OTR edit mode.
Alternatively, the Realtime edit mode could be actually done in the Display Slide Box and the Add Content box used for delayed submission edit or all edits done within the Preview Box and the "Add Content Box" becomes a Button to make the Preview Box editable
The two buttons on the pic should change
- "Live Edit" on click toggles to "Slide Show" or perhaps "Continue"
- "Submit" on click toggles to "Add Content" or similar
Each toggles the preview box between edit and Play.
The Vertical slider on the right
- Default behaviour on start Slide show(F9), is numbers with slide indicator at active slide.
- MouseOver reveals preview Thumbnail of slide numdber at cursor location
- Left click on a slide number moves slider to the slide that cursor is indicating and Displays that slide on screen
- Right click on slide number: Opens a menu with options:
- "This Slide next"
- "Move this slide up one"
- "Move this slide down one"
- "Hide/Reveal slide toggle"
- left click and hold to drag and drop slide elsewhere in the sequence
Yorick 12:08, 23 November 2007 (CET)
After some discussion with some of my colleagues some suggested changes. Consensus was that Draft one view was too complex and people wanted the Active Slide view so that they weren't forced to look at the screen. As you can see from my earlier comments, I was overruled! So we simplified it to this.
- Top left box Shows "Previous"
- Top right shows "Active Slide"
- Bottom Centre "Next"
Some discussion arose WRT the position of the Remaining Time counter. Opinion was divided as to whether the Clock should be swapped with the Edit buttons.
Full screen version with some notes added here
When the slide show is started the default behavior is the standard slideshow behavior
- Mouse clicking on the slide preview boxes whether "next" or "previous" moves the display to that slide
- Single mouse click on a slide number on the slider displays that slide in the "Next Slide" Preview so that on the next click or space that slide is displayed.
- Double click on a slide number causes Impress to display the slide in the "Active slide" view and on screen immediately (With transitions intact off course)
- Editing done in the Preview box activated by the "Live Edit" and "Non Live Edit" ( What's a better way to describe that behavior: "Running Edit" and "Resting Edit" perhaps? Not sure.. Suggestions?)
Other behavior as above
Yorick 06:19, 24 November 2007 (CET)
Extending on this design to include Andreasma's progress bar. Using the vertcal slide indicator on the right of screen (Position of that could be optional.No reason why it couldn't be top, bottom or left)
The red slider that is there at present moves during the presentation depending on the Active slide, a ghost of that slider could be time sensitive. The User could either preset a time on each slide or the default would be to divide the total time evenly across the slides. This would give a time indication relative to the slides and would allow the presenter to easily match slideshow progress to available time so if he needs to he can skip to important slides as necessary.
The colour could change as well, so that it could be position sensitive. That is in relation to the Active slide indicator. It could change from green to amber to red if the Time indicator got too far ahead of the Active Slide indicator, or optionally set to just go by total time. That could be a simple toggle switch in the Presentation Menu so that it's not necessarily set during creation. This then would put all of Andreasma's ideas on a single indicator as well as Mechonbarsa's traffic light function
Yorick 04:15, 30 November 2007 (CET)
I agree wholeheartedly with Yorick on the right mouse click, the vertical notes pane, and the second layout above. Don't like "Running Edit" and "Resting Edit" - I think Live and Non-live makes sense.
We need some of these features in the stock presentation mode.
Rygle 28 November 2007
Andreasma's Ideas
Some ideas for enhancements of the presenter screen:
- There should be an progressbar (Fortschrittsbalken in german) showing the progress
of slides.
- A second progressbar should give informations about the time (time
used and time available for the presentation). It would be a nice idea, if the progressbar could change her color when the presentator has not enough time to finish (maybe from green over yellow to reed).
- Another thought: if a presentator tests his presentation with presentation
with time measurement, then this values for every slide should be used for the progressbar(s) (asynchron minutes for every slide).
Mechonbarsa's Idea
I think Andreasma's idea of a second progressbar is great. But I could add something else. I recently attended a software engineering convention and saw that the staff signaled the keynote speaker his/her time remaining using a separate screen with "traffic lights": Green when the presentation is on-time, yellow at 10-15 minutes remaining, red at 5 minutes remaining, to signal the speaker that he has this little time for conclusions and closing remarks.
Wouldn't it be great that this "traffic lights" system could be added to the presenter screen? And its colors' time intervals customized?
MAW Idea's
The presenter screen as working currently is great, a real advance on anything else I have seen or used. It is important that the screen remains simple and uncluttered, I would prefer the background was the standard windows toolbar colour (usually a light grey) and also seeing the previous slide does not really offer any useful information to the presenter - current and next suffice.
Slide Numbers
The idea of a list of slide numbers down the side showing progress is great, also I like the idea of a 'ghost' pointer tracking against rehearsed timings. This list could have pop out previews of the slides to enable jumping to a particular slide.
The current time is often the required option and analogue is preferred for that. Time elapsed or remaining is sometimes a better option, however sometimes the important point is not the end of the presentation but the upcoming break time - could time elapsed/remaining have break points? For time elapsed/remaining digital is a better display - sometimes both the current and remaining time (analogue and digital) clocks would be useful.
I don't like the idea of editing on the fly - it is a very unprofessional look, however a toolbox with a few useful mark-up tools that could draw on the preview and display live on the full screen view would be better than awkward right click menu items. Tools would be something like Highlighter, Pen (with good thick lines), Text, Pointer, Rectangle, Oval, Cloud, and Arrows. Some method of setting the colour and the transparency should be available - although not necessarily during the presentation.
All the standard methods for changing slides should work even in the presenter mode (left click, arrow keys, slide number/enter, b, w, esc, etc.) except when the mouse was over a working button or control, then left/right click would be as per the control. Side note that I too would prefer right click to be able to be set to 'back' instead of context menu.
Further Enhancements
Again without wanting to clutter the interface it would be useful to have the controls for black screen and white screen. Also something I have seen and been impressed by was a break timer (Zoom It from http://sysinternals.com) which covers the screen with a semi-transparent wash-out and then displays a count-down timer to indicate when the break will end.

Mark C's Ideas
Like MAW I don't see the need for live editing of slides, but live mark-up of slides would be very useful. Ideally a markup view would show a copy of the current slide that is almost full size, with a palette of tools along one or two edges. The content of the palette should focus on simple tools that are likely to be used during a presentation:
- Drawing Tools
- Highlighter - a freehand pen with thick lines and a default opacity of about 50% so that it can be used to colour over content on the slide to draw attention to it
- Pencil - A thin pen with full opacity for annotations
- Pen - A medium thickness pen with full opacity for annotations and freely-drawn lines and arrows
- Marker - A thick pen with full opacity for freely-drawn lines and boxes.
- Rectangle - A simple rectangle tool with 50% opacity
- Circle - A tool for circles/ovals with 50% opacity
- Text - A text input tool with full opacity
- Arrow - A simple tool for drawing an arrow with full opacity
- Eraser - Used to erase parts of the markup (individual lines or other primitives)
- Colour Swatches - A few strong colour swatches used to pick the drawing colour for the tools above
- Control Buttons
- Undo Button - Undoes the last drawing/erase step. Repeated use continues further through the drawing history
- Save Button - See below
- Clear Button - Clears the current markup from the display completely
- I'm not sure how you say that editing on the fly is unneeded but you want a extra tools to do the same sort of thing that I want the editing on the fly for. I'm obviously in need of an explanation of the difference between Editing and Mark-up. Because all the tools you describe above are just variations on ordinary Editing tools, but by the sounds of it we are wanting the same thing, just using different words to describe it. Mind you I can see how limiting the available tools would be useful, if only for saving realestate.
Some of the above could be done just using existing tools. For instance:
- Drawing Tools
- Highlighter - a freehand pen with thick lines and a default opacity of about 50% so that it can be used to colour over content on the slide to draw attention to it Format painting tool. Would require less accuracy
- Pencil - A thin pen with full opacity for annotations. Use callouts? easier and tidier and already there
- Pen - A medium thickness pen with full opacity for annotations and freely-drawn lines and arrowsfreehand tool, just needs the default line thickness changed. Could be done in stylist.
- Marker - A thick pen with full opacity for freely-drawn lines and boxes.freehand tool, again
- Rectangle - A simple rectangle tool with 50% opacity Set opacity defaults in stylist and use the standrad rectangle tool
Yorick 02:14, 11 December 2007 (CET)
Yes, markup mode is effectively a layer above the presentation. I'm coming at this primarily from the perspective of a tablet PC user for whom being able to write, draw and scribble "over the top" of the presentation is a very intuitive and powerful facility.
The idea of the markup mode is simply to enable the same sort of interactions that people commonly use when presented with information on a black- or whiteboad - that is the ability to scrawl and scribble; to highlight items by roughly circling them; to annotate relationships by drawing lines and arrows between them. But I'm not talking about the ability to use neat and tidy objects that are precisely positioned, I'm talking about the ability for John from the accounts department to pick up a pen or a stylus and immediately annotate the presentation without requiring any prior experience of using the software.
I've had to give two main types of presentations in my time - those where you are just presenting information (the stereotypical PowerPoint presentation), and those where you are using the presentation as the basis for a collaborative effort (e.g. a group of engineers discussing possible solutions to a problem). The latter inevitably ends up moving from the screen to a whiteboard, or even a scrap of paper to allow people to add their own ideas. The idea of a markup mode is to add the tools to enable the latter type of presentation and to try to make it as natural as switching to a whiteboard.
Mark c 17:23, 10 January 2008 (CET)
The Save button would insert a duplicate slide, complete with the markup, into the presentation just before the slide that is currently being shown. This would allow the markup to be preserved so that it can subsequently be saved to disk, edited, or printed out. Repeated use of the Save and Clear buttons would allow a single slide to be re-used as the base for several marked-up versions.
Markup tools like this would be particularly useful in conjunction with a graphics tablet, a tablet PC, or a digital whiteboard.
Remotely Synchronised Presentations
Moving well into the realms of fantasy, I would love to see the ability to synchronise two (or more) copies of a presentation via a network connection. There would be more than one computer, each with a copy of OOo and the presentation - one of them would be displaying the Presenter Screen, and the others would show the presentation itself, synchronised with the presenter's machine. Ideally any markup on the presenter's screen would appear on the slave machines as well. This feature would serve four purposes:
- A copy of a presentation could be sent to a remote colleague, or multiple colleagues, then the presentation can be driven by one person while being narrated over a phone call. This would allow for a lot of the benefits of teleconferencing without the expense.
- Ad-hoc presentations could be performed in environments where a projector is not available but multiple computers are.
- It would enable a greater separation of the Presenter Screen from the projector. Consider a presenter with a Tablet PC: they could present without being tethered to a desk, and annotate slides more comfortably, while their PC drives the slave machine via a wireless network. The slave machine would be hooked to a projector, but the presenter would be wire-free.
- If the ability to markup or annotate a slide could be given to other users (at the presenter's discretion) then it would offer a means to collaboratively work using one or more slides as a base.
The idea of networked-synchronised presentations may not be directly related to the development of a Presenter Screen, but it makes most sense if one of the people on the network sees the Presenter Screen while the others don't. In that respect it might be worth developing the Presenter Screen in a way that could easily allow for network use in future, even if that functionality isn't made avilable immediately.

- THIS would be a killer feature, I have absolutely no doubt.
Yorick 02:16, 11 December 2007 (CET)
+1 I also believe this would be the "killer app" feature.
But, it would be even better if we could have the option of storing presentation on the slave machine or the control machine. The logic behind this is that the machine connected to the presentation device (projector, TV, etc) will be tethered to it, and not everyone has two portable computers (eg. laptop and tablet). But, it is much more likely that a person would have a PDA device (such as a Pocket PC or Palm OS device). This is impractical for storing the presentation on a PDA device, but the PDA could be used to remote-control the presentation.
Just adding my thoughs to the pool, thanks.
Enigma 0Z 22:28, 26 January 2008 (CET)
Being able to drive the presentation from a PDA or other device is a good idea. In practice the presentation would be loaded onto the slave machine(s), and the master controls them via a simple series of commands over the network. So, for example, the most basic commands might be "move to next slide" and "move to previous slide". The actual user interface that is shown on the master machine would usually be a version of the presenter screen - hence the inclusion of this suggestion here - but doesn't have to be. It's not difficult to conceive of alternative UIs for the master machine, which would allow a PDA or phone to drive the presentation, so long as the commands that are sent remain the same.
I would suggest the use of XMPP (the protocol behind Jabber) as a transport layer for the commands themselves to avoid reinventing the wheel.

West Haven volunteer firefighter charged in sex-slave case dead in apparent suicide
WEST HAVEN -- A volunteer firefighter placed on leave from his city dispatcher job was found dead Tuesday in Vermont, where he was arrested on sex-related charges last week, Vermont State Police said.
Frank Meyer, 39, appears to have committed suicide and was found around 3:30 p.m. on the South Wardsboro Road in Newfane, according to Detective Sgt. John Hagen, of Troop D Bureau of Criminal Investigation. An investigation is ongoing, and an autopsy by the Chief Medical Examiner's Office in Burlington is set for Wednesday, Hagen said.
Meyer was arrested in Vermont Feb. 27, posted bail in court the next day when he was arraigned, and came back to West Haven soon after. It's unclear when he went back to Vermont.
Meyer was a volunteer fire captain at the Spring Street Station and helped oversee the Explorers program, which allows city youth to get involved in and learn about fire service.
Word of his death spread across the city Tuesday night, with many expressing shock and sadness over the entire situation. Members of the Explorers program were also given the news.
The Center District Fire Department, which oversees the Spring Street station, and Police Department declined to comment Tuesday night.
Meyer and Brett Bartolotta, 42, a former West Haven volunteer firefighter who now lives in Vermont, were arrested last week by Vermont State Police on charges of aggravated sexual assault of a child and slave trafficking. Both pleaded not guilty in court.
An arrest warrant for the men say they engaged in a lengthy sexual relationship with a minor in Vermont until February. The minor, who is now 25, told police that, beginning when he was 12, he was paid for participating in sex acts that eventually included being wrapped in cellophane, hung by ropes from the ceiling and bondage.
Meyer had worked since 1999 in West Haven's 911 call center, handling police, fire and medical calls. Mayor John M. Picard said he hasn't been notified of any improprieties committed by Meyer in West Haven.
Picard announced Monday that Meyer had been placed on paid administrative leave from his city dispatch job as of March 1. The Center District already had suspended Meyer from his volunteer role as a fire captain at the Spring Street station, and Ansonia Medical Rescue Services suspended Meyer from his city job as a part-time emergency medical technician.
Picard said in accordance with state law, Meyer could only be put on paid administrative leave from his dispatch job until a Loudermill hearing is held, and then changes can be made. The hearing was set for Friday.
Meyer also was on the board of directors for the West Haven Community House Association Inc. Executive Director Patty Stevens said Monday the nonprofit's experience with Meyer was "positive and professional."

As promoter Shannon Knapp prepares for tonight's pivotal Invicta FC 4 event, she promises potential pay-per-view buyers that they won't be disappointed with the online purchase.
For $7.95, buyers get 13 fights, including a first-ever 115-pound strawweight title fight between Bec Hyatt (4-1) and Carla Esparza (8-2).
After three free events, this is the first one with a price tag. Knapp, though, knows grateful fighters are exciting fighters, and she expects 26 of them tonight (7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT on www.ustream.tv/invictafc) at Memorial Hall in Kansas City, Kan.
Knapp has worked for MMA promotions big and small, but she was the lone executive who saw a real future for an all-female organization in the U.S. Her worked earned her a 2012 World MMA Award nomination, and as a testament to the rarity of female promoters, it's in the "Leading Man of the Year" category.
And, she said, female fighters notice that stuff.
"How could I be in the business and not be a fighter?" she said on MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). "Every time [others] push, I push back because that's my nature. I think that's what female athletes always needed – someone in there willing to roll up their sleeves and come out swinging and fight the fight for them."
That's why Knapp is confident tonight's event will deliver. Happy fighters are motivated fighters, and motivated fighters become entertaining fighters.
"The only thing that was ever missing for these girls was an opportunity, a platform that gave them the chance to showcase their skills," she said. "And let me tell you, they are grateful for this opportunity. They're hungry, they're excited, and they believe in what they're doing."
Women's MMA got a boost in recent months when the UFC signed Ronda Rousey and Liz Carmouche, and then put them in the headliner of next month's UFC 157 pay-per-view event. But the limelight hasn't found hundreds of others.
Tonight, fans will get to see some familiar names: Shayna Baszler vs. Alexis Davis, Raquel Pennington vs. Leslie Smith, and Sarah D'Alelio vs. Amanda Nunes, for example. But most of the ladies on the card are largely unknown. However, a single Invicta appearance has put many fighters on the map.
Knapp expects tonight to be no different.
"A lot of people complain that they don't know a lot of names on the card," she said. "Trust me, if you do not know these female athletes right now, when you tune in [tonight], you're never going to forget them. I promise. Each and every one of them is very exciting and very passionate about being on this card."
As detailed this week in USA TODAY, Knapp has been in talks for potential TV deals, though she hasn't found the right one. For now, the little promotion keeps chugging along with a loyal online following.
Part of that fan base has come from the fighters' nonstop media and promotional push. Many of the competitors have balanced busy training schedules with time-consuming publicity and social-media efforts. Knapp said it's simply a matter of the fighters believing in Invicta, which has carried over into the fight-week activities.
"It's a whole different buzz surrounding this event," she said. "I don't know how to explain it and probably won't come up with a word to really describe it. But it's pretty special."

SAN DIEGO (AP) San Diego Chargers President Dean Spanos finally ran out of wiggle room.
Coach Norv Turner and general manager A.J. Smith had to go.
Spanos fired Turner and Smith on Monday after a season of stunning come-from-ahead losses left the Chargers out of the playoffs for the third straight season, not to mention the fan anger that was turning to apathy and leaving thousands of unsold seats at many home games.
Turner and Smith got a reprieve last year. There was no chance it was going to happen again.
``They both clearly understood why the decision was being made,'' Spanos said. ``At the beginning of this year, I really knew that if we did not get to the playoffs, and at least win some games in the playoffs, I was most likely to make the change.''
Spanos said he decided Turner and Smith had to go after the Chargers were eliminated from playoff contention in a dismal 31-7 home loss to Carolina on Dec. 16.
Spanos said he's hired former Green Bay Packers GM Ron Wolf as a consultant to help find a new general manager and coach.
Spanos and Wolf will be joined by Spanos' son, John, the Chargers' director of college scouting, and Ed McGuire, the team's contract negotiator, in conducting interviews. The new general manager will assist in interviews for the new coach, Spanos said.
Dean Spanos said consent letters have gone out seeking permission to interview candidates for the GM job. Most of those candidates work for teams that are in the playoffs, Spanos said. He refused to name possible candidates.
``The final decision ... will be mine,'' said Dean Spanos, who added that Wolf is not a candidate for the GM job.
Jimmy Raye, the Chargers' director of player personnel, will be interviewed for the job, Spanos said, but isn't the slam-dunk that some had thought he was.
``It will be an open process,'' Dean Spanos said.
The Baltimore Ravens released a statement saying several teams have sought permission to interview assistant general manager Eric DeCosta. The statement quoted DeCosta as saying he has no intention of leaving.
John Spanos is expected to replace his father in overseeing football operations, but not for a few more years, Dean Spanos said.
Turner received a standing ovation from the players following the final team meeting, and then said at his final news conference that he thinks the Chargers are more than a year away from getting back to the playoffs.
The firings complete a startling fall for a team that won the AFC West from 2006-09.
The Chargers are the third team to fire Turner, who has an overall head coaching record of 114-122-1. Turner was 56-40 with the Chargers overall, but only 24-24 the last two seasons.
Turner was an unpopular hire in February 2007, seen as a pawn controlled by the authoritarian Smith after the GM won a power struggle with old-school coach Marty Schottenheimer.
Despite having what was perceived as one of the NFL's most-talented rosters for several seasons, Smith and Turner never got the Chargers to the Super Bowl.
Smith's glaring roster deficiencies, especially on the offensive line in front of $94 million man Philip Rivers, helped contribute to San Diego's 7-9 record this season, its first losing year since 2003.
Rivers was under siege most of the season. Having to scramble for his well-being helped contribute to 22 turnovers - giving him 47 in two seasons - and he was sacked 49 times.
Still, Smith had seemed to be Teflon for years.
``Three years of not being in the playoffs, you could see the arrow was pointing in the wrong direction,'' Spanos said. ``I think that's more than enough time.''
As for his decision a year ago to keep Turner and Smith, Spanos said: ``It didn't work out. I take full responsibility for it. If you want to blame anybody, blame me. It's time to move on. I'm looking forward now.''
After being told by Spanos that he was fired, Turner attended the final team meeting.
``The hardest part for me today was being with the players. I know what they've done,'' Turner said.
``It's not like today's a surprise,'' said Turner, who was wearing one of the Super Bowl rings he won as Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator in the mid-1990s. ``I think six weeks ago you all were writing about it and saw it coming, so we've had our chance to get comfortable with it.''
While saying he had a good relationship with Smith, Turner repeated something he's said recently, that the Chargers have let too many good players leave.
``People for the last three years have wanted to get me to say something negative about this team,'' Turner said. ``For the first three years I was here, I think we were the most talented team in the division. The last three years I don't think we've been that. We've had too many changes. We've lost too many people.''
Smith, who favored hardball negotiating tactics, had clashed with his own players and coaches, as well as agents and the media. He allowed a steady stream of stars to leave, including Drew Brees, LaDainian Tomlinson, Darren Sproles, Michael Turner and Vincent Jackson, while failing to adequately replace them.
``Somebody wrote three weeks ago that this team is not that far away from being a playoff team. I would disagree,'' Turner said. ``I know the things that have to get done for that to happen. If this team comes next year and they get some things done that help them get better and they are able to make the playoffs, I would hope it would be a surprise to all Chargers fans and they would be excited about it. I would hope it would not be the expectation starting in August because I think you need to give whoever the guy who comes in here some time to get this thing back where it was two to three years ago.''
Turner said it's too early to say what's next. Many people feel he'll quickly be hired as an offensive coordinator.
Smith did not hold a news conference and did not return a call seeking comment.
After a 3-1 start, the Chargers had a series of collapses.
They blew a 10-point third-quarter lead to lose at New Orleans on Oct. 7.
The Bolts' Monday night face-plant against Denver on Oct. 15 was epic. They blew a 24-0 halftime lead as Peyton Manning calmly led the Broncos to a 35-24 victory.
On Nov. 25, the Chargers allowed Baltimore's Ray Rice to convert on a dump-down pass on fourth-and-29 late in regulation. The Ravens forced overtime and won.
Spanos said business also factored in the decision to fire Turner and Smith. Four blackouts, including three straight, meant the Chargers were losing millions of dollars in potential revenue.
``It's just been a slow deterioration over the last three years,'' Spanos said.
Another sign of the eroding roster was that no Chargers were voted to the Pro Bowl. Six seasons ago, 11 Chargers were voted to the NFL's all-star game, including five starters.
Turner was Smith's signature hire. He inherited a 14-2 team and reached the AFC championship game his first season, but the Chargers began a gradual decline. Their last playoff win came after the 2008 season. Their last playoff appearance was an embarrassing home loss to the New York Jets after the 2009 season. The next night, the Chargers announced a four-year contract extension for Turner.
Spanos had twice sided with GMs over coaches. In 1996, he forced out Bobby Ross and kept Bobby Beathard just two years after the Chargers reached their only Super Bowl. In February 2007, Spanos fired Schottenheimer due to a ``dysfunctional'' relationship between the coach and Smith. The two reportedly didn't speak to each other for the previous two years.
This time, both coach and GM were dismissed.
Smith proclaimed Turner to be the ``right coach at the right time'' for the Chargers. When Turner was hired, he was 24 games under .500, having gone 49-59-1 with Washington from 1994 until being fired with three games left in the 2000 season, and 9-23 with Oakland from 2004-05.
``I'm pretty much aware of who he is and where he's been,'' Smith said that day. ``But this isn't Washington and this isn't Oakland. It's the San Diego Chargers.''
Turner has one season at $3 million left on his contract. Smith has two years left at $2 million annually.
The Chargers were 3-5 in the playoffs in 10 seasons under Smith, who was promoted after his boss, John Butler, died of cancer in 2003.
They were 3-3 in the playoffs under Turner.
Smith had his hits and misses with players. He's best known for taking Eli Manning with the No. 1 pick overall in the 2004 draft despite Archie Manning's request that he not do so, and then dealing Manning's rights to the New York Giants for Philip Rivers and draft picks that he used to take Shawne Merriman and Nate Kaeding.
Eli Manning is a two-time Super Bowl MVP. Rivers has yet to play in a Super Bowl.
Smith's recent drafts produced more busts than impact players.
Smith did sign undrafted rookie Antonio Gates in 2003, but he also let Wes Welker go after just one game in 2004.

Yotta DCL Fast Road Surveying Reaches the U.S. Market
OMG plc, (LSE: OMG), the technology group providing image understanding products for the entertainment, defence, life science and engineering industries, announces it is set to transform the management of North American highways with a range of innovations from its highways technology arm, Yotta DCL. At a special event to be held in Washington DC (the Transport Research Board 92nd Annual General Meeting January 13-17 2013), Yotta DCL will launch Horizons, its innovative Software as a Service (SaaS) web-based software that enables a real-world view, and efficient management, of every aspect of the highway, and demonstrate how it uses OMG's cutting edge computer vision technology for visualising highways assets.
The event will be held at the Washington Marriott Wardman Park Hotel Exhibit Hall. Attendees are invited to visit Yotta DCL at Booth 3207 to learn more about the company's highway surveying services and cutting-edge web-based technology.
In addition, Yotta DCL will also showcase its well documented Tempest Capture Vehicle, built in-house for the first time in the USA. Tempest is used for vehicle-based electronic surveying to provide accuracy and speedy results on any highway type, whether a fast moving freeway or a smaller street. The vehicles are based on an integrated platform which can carry various combinations of sensors including specialised digital cameras, lasers and ground-penetrating radar to capture images of highways assets together with surface defects to give accurate data on condition and inventory without the need for multiple surveys. The vehicles are also equipped with powerful software for survey planning, on-board data capture and post-processing, which helps Local Authorities to more effectively manage their road maintenance.
Commenting on the launch Nick Bolton, CEO of OMG, said:
"Horizons is proving a big hit with highways authorities in the UK. Sales have dramatically increased in the last year, especially in the last six months so we are excited about launching our Horizons offering in the US. We are confident that this is a solution that will suit US highways operators and this event will provide the opportunity for delegates to find out how they can benefit from Horizons to greatly improve their highways asset management."

I really wanted today to be a Sleep-In Saturday. But my body is so programmed to be up at a certain time in the morning that I think it's stuck. Or maybe it's that I am getting old.
This morning I woke up at 4:41, told myself it was Saturday, the only day of the week that I try not to get up before the crack of dawn, and tried to fall back asleep. It didn't work. I found myself composing a blog entry in my head on the tragedy of waking up early on a Saturday.
Every morning my alarm is set to wake me up at precisely 5:03 am. Why 5:03? Well, it started many years ago when I wanted to get up early but five in the morning seemed such an ungodly hour, but that's when I needed to be up if I wanted to have sometime for myself. Somehow 5:00 o'clock seemed a little too close to 4:59, which would mean that I was getting up when it was still four in the morning, so three minutes into the five o'clock hour seemed more agreeable to me.
Hey, we all have our quirks.
In the last few weeks I have been waking up before the alarm at almost the exact same time every morning: 4:44. I could jump out of bed and get a start in the day but usually, I lay in bed like a dog in a "down-stay" until the alarm goes off. The automatic timer on the coffee pot won't have my coffee ready until 5am. If I get out of bed an earlier it won't be ready, and that is no fun.
This morning, I wake up and it's still dark. I look at the clock.
Its 4:41am.
Oh rats! It's Saturday, roll over and go to sleep.
Bad idea. My bladder is about to explode, which means I have to get out of bed and walk across the room to the bathroom. The chances of falling asleep after getting out bed are pretty slim. How long can I hold it? Hmmm, what time is it again? Don't open both eyes when you look at the clock, if both eyes aren't open maybe the body won't think it's awake. No, if you get up it's over, if you sleep on your back you might not have to get up for at least another hour.
4:43am -
Go back to sleep. Go BACK to sleep! I'm not going to be able to concentrate on sleep if my bladder is full, maybe if go quickly to the bathroom, don't open your eyes and try not to think too much, then get back into bed close your eyes and go back to sleep.
4:44 am -
OK! all is good. Go back to sleep...
4:46 am -
If I get up I could blog since I didn't have time to write yesterday...I wonder if my coffee is ready?
4:48 -
This is ridiculous. Get up and get going!
And here I am. Now it is 5:43 and I have downed my first cup of coffee and I am ready for seconds.
Who knew that almost a decade ago when getting up early, (something I had to MAKE myself do) would become a problem of the opposite issue. Now, I have find a way to be able to sleep in one morning of the week!
Actually, I think I will take my (2nd) cup of coffee and my camera outside and get some pictures of the sunrise. In the mornings when I am running while the sun comes up I always feel sad that I don't have my camera. That alone is worth waking up early!
Happy Weekend!

Crazy Thoughts on an Early Saturday Morning
I really wanted today to be a Sleep-In Saturday. But my body is so programmed to be up at a certain time in the morning that I think it's stuck. Or maybe it's that I am getting old.

I had laugh when I read about your reasoning of why your alarm is set at 5:03am...because I think exactly the same way! All of my alarms (I work different shifts, so I wake up at different times different days) are set at numbers such as 4:03, 5:07, 6:02 and 7:04.

Poor Kellie!! I woke up early at 5:30ish to the sound of my husband showering in dirt soap (yep) for day one of youth hunting season. But I actually fell back asleep and had a funny dream I actually remembered for once. I will have to tell it to you sometime.

There's a four and a five o'clock in the morning too, not just in the evening?
Just joshing. Having a daughter who does not sleep well, I know the disappointment of not being able to sleep in. At least it sounds like a productive morning. Now, where are those pictures?

We've been hearing about Android apps on the BlackBerry PlayBook for months, but there hasn't been much word about what they'll look like. RIM engineers at Droidcon gave a list of Android features that won't work on the BlackBerry platform.
Here's what's on the chopping block: widgets and live wallpapers, apps with Google Maps integration, apps with in-app billing, cloud-based messaging services, and apps that were built with the Android Native Development Kit (NDK), using SIP or VOIP SIP. The restrictions rest on the fact that the Android App Player is actually just emulating the Android platform on BlackBerry OS, so naturally apps won't be able to behave as though they're running on a true Android system.
The list of concrete compatibility concerns probably means that the implementation is finally, finally coming soon. But even with the heavy discounts to the PlayBook, it's still way more expensive than the new Kindle Fire, with a less expansive marketplace and a Messianic feature set that's resting on Android emulation.

Disturbing Christmas: The Manger and the Cross
Christmas and Advent
By C.J. Mahaney, Crosswalk.com
The days before Christmas can be a tiring season of preparation, planning, shopping, and wrapping. But I think as we prepare for the Christmas celebrations, dinners, travel, and gift giving, it's equally important that we pause and prepare our souls for Christmas. During this time of year, it may be easy to forget that the bigger purpose behind Bethlehem was Calvary. But the purpose of the manger was realized in the horrors of the cross. The purpose of his birth was his death. Or to put it more personally: Christmas is necessary because I am a sinner. The incarnation reminds us of our desperate condition before a holy God.
Several years ago WORLD Magazine published a column by William H. Smith with the provocative title, "Christmas is disturbing: Any real understanding of the Christmas messages will disturb anyone" (Dec. 26, 1992). In part, Smith wrote:
Many people who otherwise ignore God and the church have some religious feeling, or feel they ought to, at this time of the year. So they make their way to a church service or Christmas program. And when they go, they come away feeling vaguely warmed or at least better for having gone, but not disturbed.
Why aren't people disturbed by Christmas? One reason is our tendency to sanitize the birth narratives. We romanticize the story of Mary and Joseph rather than deal with the painful dilemma they faced when the Lord chose Mary to be the virgin who would conceive her child by the power of the Holy Spirit. We beautify the birth scene, not coming to terms with the stench of the stable, the poverty of the parents, the hostility of Herod. Don't miss my point. There is something truly comforting and warming about the Christmas story, but it comes from understanding the reality, not from denying it.
Most of us also have not come to terms with the baby in the manger. We sing, "Glory to the newborn King." But do we truly recognize that the baby lying in the manger is appointed by God to be the King, to be either the Savior or Judge of all people? He is a most threatening person. Malachi foresaw his coming and said, "But who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner's fire or a launderer's soap." As long as we can keep him in the manger, and feel the sentimental feelings we have for babies, Jesus doesn't disturb us. But once we understand that his coming means for every one of us either salvation or condemnation, he disturbs us deeply. What should be just as disturbing is the awful work Christ had to do to accomplish the salvation of his people. Yet his very name, Jesus, testifies to us of that work.
That baby was born so that "he who had no sin" would become "sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." The baby's destiny from the moment of his conception was hell—hell in the place of sinners. When I look into the manger, I come away shaken as I realize again that he was born to pay the unbearable penalty for my sins. That's the message of Christmas: God reconciled the world to himself through Christ, man's sin has alienated him from God, and man's reconciliation with God is possible only through faith in Christ…Christmas is disturbing.
Don't get me wrong--Christmas should be a wonderful celebration. Properly understood, the message of Christmas confronts before it comforts, it disturbs before it delights. The purpose of Christ's birth was to live a sinless life, suffer as our substitute on the cross, satisfy the wrath of God, defeat death, and secure our forgiveness and salvation. Christmas is about God the Father (the offended party) taking the initiative to send his only begotten son to offer his life as the atoning sacrifice for our sins, so that we might be forgiven for our many sins.
As Smith so fitly concludes his column:
Only those who have been profoundly disturbed to the point of deep repentance are able to receive the tidings of comfort, peace, and joy that Christmas proclaims"
Amen and Merry Christmas!

We do not operate on the italian market
Italian wines have been selected and promoted since 1980. Represented are over sixty small estates from fourteen Italian wine regions with an emphasis on significant terroirs and a preference for autochthonous varietals: Sangiovese, Nebbiolo, Aglianico, Fiano, Greco, Verdicchio, Garganega, Nerello Mascalese, Nero d'Avola, Frappato to name a few.
The company's efforts are by no means limited to exporting and marketing, but from the beginning the founder, Marco de Grazia, has worked closely with the vignerons in all phases of production. As a result, the reciprocal care and dedication of the producers in the vineyards and cellars has over the years proferred a steady growth in quality.
The estates part of the portfolio are imported world-wide and may be found throughout Western and Eastern Europe, North America, Australia as well as Japan, Hong Kong, South-East Asia, South Korea, Taiwan.

Phillies having Howard get in baseball shape
First baseman training in Clearwater with goal of being ready for 2014
PHILADELPHIA -- Don't bet on seeing Ryan Howard again until Spring Training 2014.
The first baseman is recovering from left knee surgery in July, and it became clear on Thursday that the Phillies see little point in rushing him back to play a handful of games at the end of the season.
"Counterproductive," interim manager Ryne Sandberg said. "At this point, counterproductive. We're talking about his health, getting healthy and getting strong, and having the offseason ahead of him. You don't want any fallbacks or anything. I think until he gets into baseball shape, which is not going to happen between now and the middle of September or the end of September ... we'll have him get in baseball shape."
Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. made a point recently to say Howard already had lost 15 to 20 pounds.
Generally, the feeling is Howard needs to be in better shape. That was why former Phillies manager Charlie Manuel played Howard in 14 games in 14 days in Spring Training.
"I know he's on an extensive workout program there in Clearwater, [Fla.]," Sandberg said. "He's going to be living there. Things are set up for him to work out the way that he needs to work out, and get in shape and be ready for the first day of Spring Training, ready to go."
Howard has started baseball activities in Clearwater, which involves hitting, fielding and jogging.
"Basic stuff," Sandberg said. "Whether that's on schedule or whatever, I think it's pretty normal. It's a good sign of where he's at. He was here maybe four games ago and he looked good. For me, I think Ryan, from here forward and the offseason, it's about getting into the top baseball shape he can be in. He was hampered some with the injury and I don't know if he ever got back into true baseball shape.
"With him being healthy and having the whole offseason and Spring Training ahead of him, I think he can get to that. Baseball shape, getting trimmed up into a weight that's a playing weight, along with having his knee behind him. I think he favored that this year, not really having his leg strength all the time with his batting."
Asked what he can expect from Howard in the future, Sandberg said:
"He's older, but I would think he has something to prove and I think he wants to have fun and I think he wants to enjoy his career. To do that, you have to get yourself in shape and allow you to do that. I think that's what he needs to do.
"A guy like him in the four-hole, whether it's home runs or projected home runs, he still has a knack of getting RBIs. Even if he's not totally swinging the bat or hitting the ball out of the ballpark, he still gets RBIs in situations. Thinking ahead on what he would do -- getting in baseball shape, starting with that first -- ability and what the numbers are and those [things] will fall into place."

TWD: Kid's Thumbprints & TWD Top 10
OK, for this last recipe, Dorie chose Kids Thumbprints. What a great recipe to end with. These were fantastic - slightly peanuty cookies wrapped in crushed peanuts and with a little dab of jam (or chocolate) on top. Perfect! I underbaked just a tad to keep them soft.
I'm going to share my favorite recipes from the book. Interestingly, I never knew I was such a big fan of fruit desserts before. Who knew?
My Top 10 Tuesdays with Dorie Recipes
- Coconut Butter Thins
- Blueberry Pie
- Banana Cream Pie
- Blanc-Manger
- Lenox Almond Biscotti
- Chocolate Whopper Malted Drops
- Real Butterscotch Pudding
- French Pear Tart plus I'm going to add the Rosy Poached Pear and Pistachio Tart.
Brioche Raisin Snails

OK, that's all folks. You can find all of these recipes in Dorie's book "Baking, From my Home to Yours".

Daniel Garcia
We'd like to take a few moments to clear up some misconceptions about street magic legend Daniel Garcia, or "DG," as the kids say:
Garcia has not created cold fusion, bested Chuck Norris in a nunchucks fight, used his Sharpie-catching skills rescue the people of a humble village, found the cure for cancer, been featured on Dancing With the Stars (he'd totally win if he was), was not with Paris Hilton when she did that one thing that one time, is not tabbed for a post in President Barack Obama's cabinet and is not the mystery man that led to the breakup between Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn. If there ever was a mystery man. We don't read tabloids. Whatever.
However, Garcia has one of the most creative minds in magic today. His effects have inspired thousands -- he's made rubber bands, playing cards and dollar bills do incredible things. He has created card tricks performed by famous magicians, and has been a consultant for David Blaine. Fraud, Fallen, Guide to Loops, Ultragaff -- even the stuff that he says isn't very good is pretty effin' good.
You'll bust a gut while learning incredible sleight of hand from Garcia. And, unlike Tony Romo, he is on top of his game when Jessica Simpson is watching. Oh yeah -- we went there.
