CBS Admits to 'Audio Error' for Adding Engine Noise to Tesla Segment
CBS has admitted to an "audio error" in its 60 Minutes segment on Sunday night in which engine sounds were dubbed over a Tesla electric car.
Robert Sorokanich noticed some unnatural engine sounds during the segment and penned a blog post for Jalopnik that asserted something was amiss.
"It's one thing to dub exciting motor noises over a mundane-sounding car, but to plop engine sounds on a car that most folks realize is nearly silent? That just seems . . . bizarre," he wrote.
Teslas operate entirely on battery power and produce little noise. The segment itself went out of its way to point out that Teslas do not operate on traditional engines.
CBS told the Associated Press that the sounds had been removed to the online version. However this promo version still retained some of the engine noises as of early Tuesday afternoon.
This video from Engadget shows just how quiet a Tesla S drives.
The admission is another black mark against 60 Minutes, coming in the wake of criticism of a segment on the NSA that some found soft, and the suspension of Lara Logan for a report on the deaths of U.S. diplomats in Benghazi, which a CBS executive called "as big a mistake as there has been" in the show's history.

Trage-tainment: Reflections on 20 Years of Art, Theater, and Reality TV Since the LA Riots | KCET
Trage-tainment: Reflections on 20 Years of Art, Theater, and Reality TV Since the LA Riots
In 1992, I was 13 years old watching the riots on my home television in San Francisco with my equally-as-bewildered friends. Back then, Los Angeles was synonymous with Disneyland, bikini bodies, and Beverly Hills 90210. But those lily white images of Southern California flipped the switch when we learned that L.A. was actually a place where black men were beaten to a pulp by the law officials we had thought protected us, where no white truck driver was safe from unsolicited near-death beatings, Korean shopkeepers shot looters, and long simmering racial tensions could boil over into complete anarchy. For me and my friends, it wasn't just our impressions of Los Angeles that were changed for the worse that month, but our outlook on all of humanity. And like most reality tv, we saw more shock than we did meaningful dialogue on race relations.
Story continues below
If you told me in 1992, that 20 years in the future, I'd move to Los Angeles, buy a home and live happily in that same area where gunshots and smoke filled the sky, I'd say that I'd never ever think of doing something so dumb. But twenty years ago, I never thought I'd live to see an African American president either. I also wouldn't have anticipated that President Obama's opposition would sink so low as to accuse him of being a foreigner. Or that major news outlets would give these extremely misguided "birthers" as much play as they have.
I still remember how Spike Lee's 1991 exploration of mixed race romance in "Jungle Fever" was taboo. Now the mixed race relationships of the Kardashians, Coco and Ice-T, and all the "colorblind" romances of tabloid celebrities play out ad nauseum. Of course, with pop culture romances, any deeper explorations of race are interrupted by commercial breaks. But really, do we need to still speak of race when there are more important plotlines to explore? Like whether or not Kim Kardashian's butt is real?
In 2008, I got to witness the emotional aftermath of Rodney King's notoriety when I went to drug and alcohol rehabilitation with him. Specifically, I watched King as a recovering alcoholic on VH1's "Celebrity Rehab" (where "infamy" and "celebrity" are apparently, synonymous). This same medium of reality TV that trivializes complex issues of race, revealed a raw kaleidoscopic portrait of Rodney King as a man struggling to put his life together after being thrust into the spotlight as an unlikely icon for civil rights. Celebrity Rehab, wasn't King's only stint on reality TV, King in 2009 also boxed a cop in a "Celebrity Boxing," a twisted reinterpretation of his 1991 beating -- that he was paid to participate in.
Most of the comments found on IMDB and YouTube, and the above anecdotes are why I stopped turning to mainstream media for meaningful human exchange on social issues. Instead, I go to theater.
The L.A. Riots inadvertently introduced me to the concept of the socially conscious one-woman show -- the sort of shows I have make now in my career. Before I encountered Anna Deveare Smith's text from "Twilight: Los Angeles 1992" in a Freshman English class at UCLA, I had assumed that the only theater ever produced were musicals, Neil Simon, and Shakespeare. Conducted from 175 interviews with witnesses to the L.A. Riots, Smith limited her dramatis personae from 25 to 45 of these characters depending on her performance venue. Smith's embodiment of multiple characters not only demonstrated her adeptness as a writer and performer, but became a profoundly unified spirit conveying all the emotional and racial complexities of the L.A. Riots -- all in her own body.
Last week, I watched a remount of Smith's play, not performed as a solo work, but by an multi-ethnic ensemble of actors from the Katselas Theatre Company. What could have been a simple parade of monologues was elevated into an encompassing full-scale theater work. Under Leila Vetan's skillful direction, Smith's monologues encompass all four walls of the small Los Feliz theater. Actors emerged from the seats next to me, police brutality played out in silhouette, dance action segways moved each monologue forward, and for the play's denoument, Suzanne Whang delivered a heartbreaking monologue as Mrs. Young Soon-Han. Many of the actors were costumed in black hoodies -- an obvious reference to the modern day Rodney King, Trayvon Martin.
As a post-show experiment, the cast invited the audience to stay behind for a reflection on the riots twenty years later. Almost everyone stayed. Audience members shared their memories of the riots, some of the African American cast members recounted being pulled (over without due cause) by cops, and while there may have been opinions, there were still no clear consensus to that question: "Have things gotten better?"
But that's what social dialogue should be: constantly asking the same questions that mainstream news reporters have stopped asking. It's about not settling on any finite answer because there are none. The biggest tragedy? That this kind of intimate and meaningful dialogue is happening in a theater and closes after this weekend.
For more information on the play, visit the Katselas Theatre Company's website. Read more it here.

What Is Flushable?
If it isn't toilet paper or human waste, do not flush it. Although the toilet may seem like a simple and easy way for disposal, it is not a trash can. For those who are connected to the sanitary sewer system, everything that gets flushed travels through the pipes of the sanitary sewer system and to the wastewater treatment plant. Flushing anything that is not "flushable" contributes to home plumbing blockages, septic system issues, sewer overflows, and increased work for sewer crews and wastewater treatment plants.
Is It Really "Flushable" If It Clogs?
Products that are deemed "flushable" may be able to flush down the toilet; however, most do not break down as they travel through plumbing and end up getting caught and causing blockages. DO NOT flush any kind of wipes (baby wipes, hand towelettes, make up remover wipes, disinfecting wipes, etc.), cotton swabs, rags/towels, food wrappers, cigarette butts, disposable cleaning supplies, food, rubber gloves, dental floss, facial tissue, or prescription and over-the-counter medication. All of these items end up causing blockages and could cause sewage to back-up into homes and business, or even spill-over into public streets and down the storm water drain and into our surface water and groundwater, which could become a serious public health safety issue.
Just because a product is labeled as "flushable" or "safe for septic systems" does not mean it really is. Seeing something go down the drain does not mean it is gone. Habitually flushing items down the toilet can create significant costs for the property owner or the municipality. The property owner is responsible for maintenance and repairs of all plumbing, including the service line from the street line (which is typically from the back side of the sidewalk, or 8-10" off the edge of the pavement) to the house. Properly disposing of items, instead of flushing them all, can save property owners and the Passamaquoddy Tribe millions of dollars and help preserve our sanitary sewer system.
Do Not Flush Drugs or Hazardous Waste
Dispose of all medication and drugs at the Indian Township Police Department's drop box, which is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Other items that should not be flushed include any household hazardous materials: motor oil, paint, chemicals, or pesticides. These materials are toxic and have a detrimental effect on our water supply. Look for information soon regarding the disposal of household hazardous waste items.
Use Your Garbage
Instead of flushing miscellaneous items down the toilet, properly dispose of them in the garbage. The same rule applies to garbage disposals – use it in moderation and be sure to use a drain screen to catch excess food to prevent items from going down the drain and through the sanitary sewer system. Never pour fats, oils, or greases down the drain.
Help protect Passamaquoddy's sewer lines and do not flush if it isn't toilet paper or human waste. All other miscellaneous items should be disposed of properly in the trash, or at the Annual Household Hazardous Waste Day or Drug Take Back Program.

Monster Contributing Writer
When you're writing your resume, it's best to avoid the cliché words that hiring managers and recruiters see over and over again. Even if you feel the terms are accurate, there is usually a livelier, more original way to describe yourself.
Here are five words and phrases you should avoid putting on your resume.
Hard Worker
Describing vaguely positive traits in a resume doesn't prove your worth and may even undermine your value as a candidate in failing to show how you're different. Focus on concrete skills and accomplishments instead of relying on personal description through adjectives.
Avoid the term 'hard worker' as it's general and something anyone could apply to themselves. Instead, highlight actual accomplishments and results you can show off to potential employers. They like seeing data-driven numbers as opposed to general blanket statements."
Idioms may add color to an informal conversation, but they don't distinguish you professionally when used on your resume.
"Avoid overused and tired business idioms: out-of-the-box, win-win, core competencies, empowered, best practices There are many more; these are perfectly acceptable words, but they've been so overused that people are sick of them," says Karen Southall Watts, author of "Go Coach Yourself." "Rephrase and think clarity and not jargon. Avoid describing duties and instead focus on results. 'Supervised a team of 12' is much less compelling than 'Led sales team to 5% increase in total closed deals.'"
Avoid mentioning money before you even get to the interview. "Any mention of the word 'salary' on a résumé sets off red alarms to an employer and would discourage them from bringing you in for an interview.
Reference Available Upon Request
This line isn't necessary.
Do not put 'Reference available upon request', or the names and contact points of the references themselves. The former is understood, superfluous, and therefore just takes up valuable space. As for the latter, given that companies will often ask for a waiver before contacting references, they should probably be kept in a separate document.
Your resume isn't simply a summary of yourself. You are talking about yourself, technically, but through the lens of the company's needs and expectations.
We already know your objective. Instead of telling us about what you want, use this space to tell us about you and your experience. Make sure it is relevant to the role you are interested in. Make a thought argument for getting a conversation.

"The outlook for mobile handset markets continues to improve", said Jake Saunders, ABI Research's VP for Forecasting. "While 3Q-2009 showed a year on year 6.5% contraction in shipments to 291.1 million, 2009 should close out with only a 4%-5% contraction (to 1,138 million for the year)."
Handset vendors are starting to mutter confidently of 4Q-2009 cash tills jingling to the tune of robust handset sales. In 3Q-2009, North America and Asia-Pacific helped to spearhead a recovery. In North America, the avid enthusiasm for smartphones was the driver. In Asia-Pacific, recovery in the local economies has been stoking interest in upgrades.
Market shares are starting to thaw. Nokia saw its market share slip from 38.3% to 37.3% in 3Q-2009. Samsung continues to steam ahead, raising its market share to 20.7%. Despite some very novel handset model introductions in 2Q-2009, LG's market-share softened in 3Q-2009 (10.9%).
All the other vendors either held their ground or lost a small amount of market share. The prime exception is Apple: its iPhone range of smartphones increased its market share from 1.9% to 2.5%. There have been arguments that Apple's limited handset line-up will constrain growth, but for the mid-term, ABI Research does not expect any slowdown in Apple's market-share growth.
"Despite the successes of the iPhone operating system, the leading player in the smartphone OS market is still very much Symbian (48%), followed by Blackberry (18%)," notes practice director Kevin Burden. "The 'dark horse' in all this is Android." This week Motorola announced the launch of its navigation-friendly "Droid" handset. As the list of vendors committed to releasing Android handsets expands, product momentum should translate into increased Android sales. ABI Research estimates Android could capture 10% of the smartphone market by 2014.
Smartphones are not the only handset segment to drive the market. GPS is also becoming a very desirable feature of handsets. By the end of 2009, ABI Research estimates, 21% of all handsets shipped this year will have onboard GPS.

News__ Herschel Supply Co.
We all have a little luggage (read: baggage) in our lives. Luckily, Herschel Supply Co., an emerging bag line based out of Vancouver, Canada, is easing the weight a little.
Lyndon Cormack co-owner of Herschel Supply Co. says, "We need bags for life's luggage." Can we get an Amen? So the two brothers, Lyndon & Jamie, started Herschel Supply Co.--a collection of classically affordable bags that we now want. Backpacks, duffel bags, fanny packs, oh my! This family affair has everything we "need" and a little bit more.
We caught up with Lyndon, to find out why bags, what he always has in his own bag, and what we can expect next from the emerging line. He also sent over some unseen shots of their 2010 collection lookbook. Check it all out below.
1. Why bags?
Both my brother and I who are the Herschel Supply Co. have always been fond of bags, luggage and accessories in general. Everything from Vintage items to Hermes to great little flea market finds. There is nothing better a great bag, whether walking through the streets an airport or pedaling or pushing around town; your bag can define you. We also believe in accessibility, we find that a lot of the desirable bags are too far out of reach for the people that desire them.
2. Where did the name Herschel Supply Co. come from?
Our great grandparents emigrated from Wick, Scotland in the early 1900's. The land that they were given saw themselves settle in the rolling hills outside the town of Herschel, who's population today is counted at 30 residents.
4. What can we expect next from Herschel Supply Co.?
More bags, Kids bags, more fabric options, both domestic and overseas production, wallets and luggage.
5. 5 things you always have in your bag?
Gel Pens, Notebook, Camera, Magazines, and now my iPad.
6. Where's your heart at?
I might find myself with fashion on my mind but I have skateboarding, surfing and snowboarding in my heart.

MONSTA X Talks About Their Relationship With SEVENTEEN And iKON
On May 18, MONSTA X held their comeback showcase at Yes24 Live Hall.
During their showcase the group performed their latest song "All In" and answered questions from reporters.
One such question asked the group how they felt about competition regarding fellow rookie groups such as SEVENTEEN and iKON.
They answered, "We don't feel like we're competing with SEVENTEEN and iKON. When we meet we greet each other happily and take care of each other. We talk often and play in waiting rooms. We are close and get along well."
Wonho further commented, "We felt camaraderie when we went on the same program with iKON in China. I would like for all of us to do well and become candidates for first place."
MONSTA X will be holding their debut stages for "All In" on various music shows this week and promote their new album.
Isn't it the best when your favorite groups are friends with each other?

Species Conservation: Lessons from Islands
Jamieson A Copsey, Simon A Black,
Jim J Groombridge and Carl G Jones (Eds)
Cambridge University Press, £32.99
The need to conserve a growing number of species and maintain ecosystems on islands around the world cannot be overstated. The immense diversity of living organisms on islands has led to them being described as 'species engines'.
Comprising about 3% of the Earth's surface, islands support a disproportionate amount of its biodiversity, and yet around three-quarters of vertebrate and two-thirds of plant extinctions have been from islands. Island species are 14 times more likely to be critically endangered.
Increasing pressure on these often small, isolated populations has spurred conservationists to develop creative, rigorously monitored, inspirational, inclusive and well-managed programmes. This book, written with the benefit of decades of experience, guides the reader through the stages involved to plan, initiate and maintain ongoing conservation schemes, from small-scale, low-tech projects through to the use of DNA markers to monitor genetic diversity, as in the formerly critically endangered Seychelles kestrel.
Underpinned with relevant background theory to understand evolutionary and ecological processes, outlines of goal setting, management and behavioural change theories make this a useful toolkit. All of the chapters include detailed case studies to illustrate the lessons learned.
The successes shine like beacons of hope or guiding lights in the gloom of ever increasing rates of global biodiversity loss. Setbacks, lack of community involvement or limited outcomes of some other initiatives provide clear illustrations to enable planners to avoid pitfalls. The need for focused planning, including feasibility studies, and the necessity to fully engage local communities is stressed.
This hugely readable book is an excellent supplementary undergraduate course text, providing a wealth of examples of theory being put into practice. For postgraduates embarking on conservation research proposals, it is an invaluable handbook to assist them in structuring their approach.
Dr Alexander Waller CBiol MRSB

Antidepressants are now among the most widely used prescription medicines in both Great Britain and the US. During the last 20 years, as depression has become recognized as a medical condition rather than mere melancholia, drug companies have sought to refine the 'chemical coshes' of the 1950s into sophisticated drugs that target specific brain chemicals.
Tricyclic antidepressants(TCAs)
The best-known TCA drugs are amitriptyline and imipramine. Yet, despite more than 30 years of use, it's only recently that researchers have set about determining whether they actually work. The embarrassing news is that they generally don't. One study found that only 29 per cent of patients responded to tricyclics. After a major review of the evidence, a further embarrassment is that, for years, psychiatrists have been prescribing dosages that are just too high. At the standard dose of 125 mg/day, the side-effects become so intolerable that many patients simply give up, clearly preferring to be depressed than to lose their appetite and libido, or suffer constipation, dehydration and confusion, the classically depressing side-effects of tricyclic drugs.
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, act by interfering with (blocking) the brain chemical serotonin, believed to be involved in depression. SSRIs have been heavily and cleverly marketed, such that Prozac, the drug family's brand leader, is now almost as common a word for antidepressants as 'Hoover' is for vacuum cleaners.
But SSRIs are not all they're cracked up to be. Indeed, at least two major review studies have shown SSRIs to be similarly as ineffective as the tricyclics they were designed to replace. Similarly, a recent meta-analysis (a comparative survey of all the clinical data available so far) found that "there are no clinically significant differences in effectiveness between SSRIs and trIcyclic antidepressants". Their adverse effects may be considerably worse. All SSRIs are associated with 'extrapyramidal' reactions (the part of the brain that controls movement), causing a range of disturbing symptoms. One of the worst effects is manic, violent behaviour.

The revelers' facial expressions and bright colorful clothes heighten the festive, carefree mood. A parrot and a dog, gazing down from their perches, round out the merry group. Possibly part of an allegory of Harmony, the painting may have originally been slightly wider and twice as long, containing a complete balustrade and more figures. The head of the man at the top is a modern addition. Gerrit van Honthorst painted this illusionistic ceiling, the earliest of its type made in the Netherlands in 1622, two years after his return from Italy, where he saw similar painted ceilings. Careful calculation of perspective allows the figures to burst plausibly through the flat plane of the painted panel.

The DLL-creation problem has been solved with PAR 0.66, but Cygwin's executable format doesn't seem to like arbitary data appended to it (altough a self-contained script made with 'par.pl' plus a 'perl.exe' works well); I'm working with the list and Mattia to find a solution.

Meanwhile, MSYS+MinGW might be your best bet, and PAR is known to run well on that platform.

OPINION: Building a Sustainable Future - The Compact Between Business and Society
By Georg Kell
UNITED NATIONS (IPS) - Can we envision a day when a critical mass of companies is investing in a better world? Where business is delivering value for the long-term – not just financially, but also socially, environmentally and ethically? Over a decade ago, it was hard to imagine, but we can now say with confidence that a global movement is underway.
By the late 1990s, the need for action was unmistakable. In many ways, it appeared the rest of the world did not figure into the growth and opportunity associated with massive increases in international investment and trade. It was this fragile state of the union between business and society that led the U.N. secretary-general to propose that business and the United Nations jointly initiate a "global compact of shared values and principles, to give a human face to the global market."

If you are planning on entertaining guests this holiday, you may be using more electricity than normal. You also may be turning up your furnace to keep all your guests comfortable during the cold holiday season. If you love to cozy up during the Holidays and would like to save a little money too, there are things you can do to keep your home warm and your energy costs down.
Energy Saving Tips
Here are some energy saving tips that can help you keep your home warm this winter without having to turn the temperature up on the thermostat.
- Seal windows and doors – head to your local home improvement store and pick up some weather stripping, caulk, and tape. When it's cold outside you can usually feel where the cold air is coming in, block these gaps using the above products, if you have windows you don't open during winter use weather sealing tape to seal them up.
- Add shades or curtains – energy efficient shades or heavy curtains can allow you to let the sun in during the day then trap the heat in at night. This can be especially handy if you have drafty windows throughout your home.
- Turn the thermostat down – turning the thermostat down a few degrees when you are not home or while you are sleeping can help reduce your energy costs. It can also help stop the air in your home from getting too dry.
- Add moisture – adding moisture to your air during the winter months can make the air in your home feel warmer and more comfortable. Consider installing a whole house humidifier.
- Let the hot air out – after you have baked delicious foods, turn the oven off and open the oven door. Let the heat inside the oven help heat that area of your home. Use extreme caution, especially if you have small children or pets.
- Furnace maintenance – when your furnace is well maintained it will run more efficiently. It will take less work and time for your furnace to heat your home and your home will remain comfortable. If you have not had your furnace maintained this year, now is the time to call.
Schedule Furnace Maintenance in Cincinnati
If you need furnace maintenance or repair services this holiday season, don't wait to get your heating system working efficiently again! Contact the team at Ricks Heating & Cooling today.

Marian Phelps Pawlick, sitting in her magnificent Lake Bluff home near Crab Tree Farm on an August afternoon, glances at a list of past Local Legends honorees. It had been handed to her. The list includes James Lovell, Adrian Smith, Bill Kurtis, and Ryne Sandberg.
Headliners; household names; icons.
The Lake Forest-Lake Bluff Historical Society selects a Local Legend each year and honors the subject at its signature fundraiser in the fall. "Too good … the company's too good," Pawlick says of the famous people on the list. The Local Legends selectee in 2018?
The humble Marian Phelps Pawlick, staunch proponent of conservation efforts, philanthropic endeavors, higher education, and the arts, particularly music. "Music," she says, "is the language of emotion."
One thing you quickly learn about Pawlick is her reluctance to talk about her own accomplishments. She is quick to turn the light on others, but never herself. But talk to her long-time friends and they will tell you things she won't—like how she was born and raised in Lake Forest and moved to her house in Lake Bluff 30 years ago. Pawlick also has the distinction of being the first woman to chair the board of the Shedd Aquarium and was instrumental to making it the institution it is today.
But perhaps we will leave those untold details to her interviewer, who is none other than Kurtis, one of Pawlick's friends. Kurtis will evoke insightful and compelling thoughts from Pawlick at the Local Legends event on November 3 with an engaging Q & A at the historical society's Hunter Family Education Hall in Lake Forest (509 East Deerpath Road).
Picture a cozy, intimate "fireside chat" setting, with two participants before an enthralled audience.
"I hope Bill will be nice to me," a grinning Pawlick cracks.
Her tenure as "SCUBA Sal," no doubt, will surface. That was her byline for a travel publication, for which she wrote up resort reviews from all over the world after passing, on her second try (in California), the SCUBA test. Her last dive as SCUBA Sal took place off a coast of Australia. "I saw whale sharks, huge and gorgeous, and absolutely benign," she says.
Pawlick and Kurtis—the 2014 Local Legends co-honoree, with wife Donna LaPietra—each has a keen interest in the Abbott Oceanarium at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago. Completed in 1991, the oceanarium introduced Chicagoans to beluga whales, Pacific white-sided dolphins and sea otters.
Pawlick's father, Mason Phelps, did all he could to avoid water—water hazards, that is, as an accomplished golfer in the early 20th century. Phelps played golf for Yale University and helped the U.S. Olympic golf team capture the gold medal at the 1904 Summer Games in St. Louis. A native of Chicago's South Side, he launched Pheoll Manufacturing, a premier fastener distributor in the upper Midwest. The business started in one room, above a saloon on Cicero Avenue.
"My father was an unbelievably talented fellow, a self-made man, with a delightful sense of humor," says Pawlick, the mother of five, the grandmother of 14, and the great grandmother of four. "He earned scholarships, from grade school all the way to Yale. He assembled several machines into one."
One of Pawlick's favorite stories involving her father featured a desperate man during the Great Depression, an attempted robbery, and an inspirational ending.
"My father, near where he worked, was accosted by a man with a gun," Pawlick begins. "My father had just built his factory. The man said, 'Give me your money.' You know how my father replied? "He said, 'I won't give you money, but I will give you a job.'"
The man with the gun was a toolmaker. He accepted Mason Phelps' job offer. He later became a manager … for Mason Phelps' company.
"I was extremely fortunate, having the parents I had," Pawlick says, adding her mother, Louise, was "an extraordinary lady" who, on more than one December 25, warmly welcomed friends and local sailors to the Phelps' Christmas dinner. The table was lengthy enough to seat 16.
"Not one seat was ever empty," Pawlick says.
Her life today? Full. A founding member of the Deer Path Art League and a Lake Forest College life trustee, Pawlick—a Lake Bluff resident for
nearly 30 years—has served on a plethora of boards, including Vassar College's, Ravinia Festival's, Shedd Aquarium's, and Art Institute of Chicago's.
And she travels almost as often as people breathe.
She visited Mongolia in mid-August.
Ask her about that trip's fascinating moments.
Or wait for Bill Kurtis to draw them out of Pawlick at the Local Legends event in early November.
Proceeds from the Local Legends event help the Lake Forest-Lake Bluff Historical Society expand its programs and exhibits and preserve its archives and one-of-a-kind collections. For more information about the annual event, please visit lflbhistory.org or call 847-234-5253.

Games with Code
Games with Code brings quality programming classes to after school and summer programs in MetroWest Boston. All our programs are led by Mark Sobkowicz.
Mark Sobkowicz has been teaching Computer Programming and Physics at Lincoln Sudbury Regional High School since 1995. He began programming himself when he was a kid, on the mainframe computer at his high school. He has taken courses in programming during several summers from great teachers at the Big Nerd Ranch and the Pragmatic Studio, but mostly he learns new stuff by trying, looking it up, and trying again.
Learn Game Programming with Ruby
I have a book! You can buy it in paperback on Amazon, or you can buy it as a paperback or ebook at the link below. I wrote this book to help kids with a little programming knowledge take it to the next level – by writing games.
Classes through Acton Boxborough Community Education
I frequently teach classes through ABCE. Look back at this space to see classes that are coming soon.
Twelves for iPhone
I wrote this app to learn Apple's new Swift programming language. It's a game that is also in my book, Learn Game Programming with Ruby.
Download for free on the App Store.
Games with Code is dedicated to bringing fun after school and summer programs to kids in MetroWest Boston. Kids in these programs will build games, and at the same time build skills that can set them on a path of lifelong learning about technology. A major focus of these courses is teaching kids to ask questions and to find answers for themselves. We believe that this ability is the most important skill people can have in the twenty first century. All the world's information is at our fingertips. What questions will we ask?
You can see a list of upcoming classes, both scheduled and proposed. To get updates by email of upcoming classes, please sign up for our mailing list.

*This is a sponsored post
One of my fondest memories as a child is going over to my best friend Nikki's house during the holiday season. Although my family and I didn't celebrate Christmas, Nikki and I were able to share and appreciate our special holidays with each other. I looked forward to the warmth of the colorful lights and shiny ornaments on the sparkling Christmas tree, while enjoying delicious homemade cheesy biscuits at her home every December. She would come over and have a traditional Pakistani dinner with my family as we broke our fasts during our holy month, Ramadan.
Every winter I crave those ooey gooey melt in your mouth cheesy biscuits so I began to continue the holiday tradition with my children. I was able to replicate the light, fluffy and moist texture of the biscuit and most importantly, the creaminess of the melted cheese singles that she would place in each biscuit.
These biscuits are all about the cheese, and I found that Borden cheese was perfect for the task!
I've created a delicious gluten-free version of this special dish, which I am sharing with you today. If you and your family are lucky enough to not have any gluten allergies, you could substitute the gluten free flour with all purpose flour.
Cheesy Biscuits
* Makes about 12 biscuits
- 2 cups ATK Gluten Free Flour Blend, plus a little more for sprinkling.
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cut in about 1/2″ cubes
- 1 cup milk, chilled
- 6 Borden American Cheese Singles
- 2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Using your fingertips, rub the unsalted butter cubes into the dry ingredients until mixture looks like crumbs.
- Make a well in the center and pour in the chilled milk.
- Stir just until the dough comes together. The dough will be very sticky.
- Turn dough onto a floured surface, dust top with flour and gently roll or press out to about 1/2- inch thick. Since it is gluten free, it won't be as stretchy as a dough with wheat flour.
- Cut the dough into 6 even pieces and stack them on top of each other. (If you are using wheat flour, fold the dough over onto itself about 5-6 times)
- Roll or press the dough out about a 1/2 – inch thick. Cut out biscuits with a 2.5-inch cutter, being sure to push straight down through the dough.
- Roll up the remaining scrap dough into a 1/2-inch thick sheet, working it as little as possible. Continue cutting out biscuits.
- Cut each Borden American Cheese Singles into 4 pieces.
- Place two stacked smaller pieces of Borden American Cheese Singles between two biscuits and gently seal the edges together.
- Place the cheese filled biscuits on baking sheet so that they just touch.
- Bake for about 15-20 minutes, until the biscuits are tall and light gold on top.
- Brush melted salted butter on the top of the baked biscuits.
- Serve warm and fresh out of the oven.

Sterling silver is an alloy of silver containing 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, with copper being the most common metal used as the 7.5 percent alloy balance in sterling silver. Copper adds hardness to pure silver, but also adds a tendency to "tarnish" (darkening that occurs when sterling silver reacts or oxidises with gases in the air or with other substances that it comes in contact with). When silver oxidises it first turns a yellow golden colour, then darkens with time to a dark graphite grey or nearly black. Some aspects of our jewellery is treated in this manner to give the sterling silver depth of colour, offer additional contrast to the carved or granulated patterns or complement the colours in the gemstones used in some designs.
To help maintain the shine of your items for longer, please remove your jewellery when doing household chores, applying perfume, hair products or creams. Store your items in a cool and dry place, away from sunlight or artificial light, when not wearing it.
Other than all silver earrings, silversari also offers earrings that feature beautiful gemstones. These items are special and unique - each gemstone, being as nature provides, is slightly different in size, shape or depth of colour. All our gemstones are genuine stones or as otherwise advertised in the listing. The jewellers who create our selection use the best stones available to them at time of creation, allowing us to choose the best from that. Each pair is personally picked by myself for its beauty and craftsmanship.
Please note that even though the gemstones used in our jewellery are real, genuine stones, many gemstones can react to sunlight, water or extreme temperatures. To keep the colours vibrant, store your jewellery safely, away from heat and strong sunlight.
The art of Mughal Miniature Paintings, also called Rajasthani Miniature Paintings, have been practised over generations. These are very small paintings created on silk or hand made paper and often feature figures like Hindu deities, landscapes, flowers or animals. Set into sterling silver, protected by glass, with a decorative back and 925 stamp, these small pieces of art make beautiful and unusual earrings that are truly stunning and unique.
We are very excited to present our new 'Reborn' Phoenix Collection!
Unique in every way, each pair is truly special! Reborn from shards of porcelain that have carefully been matched to be re-used and re-loved as a new creation.
Some matching pendants are available but sold separately.
Please note that the settings of the Miniature paintings are NOT made to be water-tight ... paint will run if in contact with water.
Our brass earrings have been hand-crafted by the same artisan silversmiths who create our sterling silver selection. Ever-rising silver prices force many artisan jewellers to offer their labour-intensive craft using brass as the base metal for a cheaper alternative to sterling silver. Brass has a natural tendency to oxidise, just like sterling silver, but can be polished and kept shiny while offering a warm, golden glow. To help maintain the shine of your items for longer, please remove your jewellery when doing household chores, applying perfume, hair products or creams and store in a cool but dry place, away from sunlight or artificial light, when not wearing it. Remember the rule for wearing jewellery of any metal: "Last on - First off!"
Please also note that the brass used for all items in our brass collection is made of copper and zinc - FREE of lead and nickle. Modern-day brass and other bare metals are beautiful to wear and are not produced with lead as they were in the past. However, we definitely suggest to avoid "antique" brass or brass of uncertain origin.
