The illness has changed me

Blog readers (not the ones who post in the comments about that day's comic - I don't think they read the actual words) will be pleased to hear that I am on the mend. But I am totally ravaged by disease. I have the deth-voice (kind of "GRAARRGHH"), I cough a lot, and I have renounced listening to all music that is not YACHT ROCK.

Yacht rock is a special kind of music. It's aspirational, it's midtempo, it's smooth. It's the kind of thing that Don Johnson would isten to. It's Michael McDonald, Hall and Oates, Christopher Cross. Of course Andrew Gold, of course Fleetwood Mac circa 1987. From now on, I refuse to listen to anything that doesn't slip down easy.

Learn more about Yacht Rock in the short films at Channel 101. You will find yourself transformed. My favourite is episode 3, but it's best to jump in at the start.

Trust me on this one - forget the future: we're on a yacht now.

Inappropriate b-sides desk

As I prepare for the coolness of the tomb, of course I am singing "Seasons In the Sun", that most mordant of chart-toppers. But when one's soul has been thoroughly ravaged by Terry Jacks' hymn to dying young and you flip the record, why not quack it up a notch with...

..."Put The Bone In"?!

Insult to injury

Now I have a fever! I had some wild dreams last night, all of them hideously unpleasant. I'm pretty sure that this will be my last post ever, as tomorrow the men in tall hats will be carrying me out of my house feet first.

The good news is that I am now rated #1 in the area for shivering and complaining.

Things are getting worse

Now I have caught a cold, and I burnt my finger on a baking tray.

Fortunately I did not burn it very badly. My hands are so cold that it just went "fwoosh", as if my icy finger was cooling the tray.

Since the cold has apparently gotten into my bones, I imagine that my death is imminent. Pretty soon you'll be talking about "the John Allison legacy". I don't have a will, so I guess I'll leave everything to my friend Kelly Vivanco, and she can do what she wants with my chattels. Kelly, look forward to owning a right hand drive Japanese car, a terraced house in the armpit of civilisation, and two dozen "Just William" books. You earned 'em.

Production has ceased

I've pulled a muscle in my neck while excecuting some very very tidy parallel parking. At the moment of one's greatest triumph, one is frequently struck down. Now my head is only comfortable at 45 degrees to my shoulders, and by "comfortable" I mean "extremely painful". Also I appear hunched, like an old man. It's pretty much over for me as a member of the human race.

I'm sure that you want to know how you can help. You can help by not laughiing at me when you see me on the street, bent over like a geriatric fellow enjoying his last weeks.

Single of the "week"

Of course it is "Free jazz" by the Envelopes, a song so pleasingly jaunty and Swedish that it cannot fail (to get to #71 in the charts)

See the video here, learn more about this new and pleasing band on their website.

Lesnick breaks the silence

Josh Lesnick, the gifted and energetic artist(e) behind such comics as Girly, has drawn this wonderful picture of Gibbous Moon, which I thought you might like to see.

Pop video Wednesday (includes problems)

I was very excited today to find the video for "You Made Me Realise" by My Bloody Valentine on Youtube. I can remember seeing this video in 1988 and being extremely scared of the sound of "indie music". It's still a scary song!

I have developed a problem when I see the "Ladyflash" video by Go! team on MTV2. Every time it comes on, I start crying! This is very disturbing, since I have listened to the song dozens of time in my "listening area" with no ill effect. it has happened three times now and I am worried. Field tests are going on, because I think this might be sinister. I tried watching it in Realplayer, but that didn't make tears come out. All I know is this:

1. It features a lot of bright and pleasing strobing colours
2. There are some drumkits
3. And a plane
4. Also cheerful dancing

(point 1 seems the most important)

I am not a habitual crier, even at the saddest things, so my final conclusion is that I am going senile. I am going to form a support group of similar weeping imbeciles.

Superstars of blogging

Sorry that there haven't been many blog posts lately. I realise that this is tantamount to a failure at life. There are books and posters to ship and I am full of high anxiety. I have to go and pick up the posters tomorrow, but I've had a phone call to say that they're very heavy and I may fall over under their mighty weight. So to prepare for my new life as a 2D man I am re-reading Flat Stanley.

There should be a Scary Go Round Flat Stanley project: a FLAT SHELLEY project! Unfortunately my mind is too tired to know what form this might take.

The IT Crowd

Channel 4 have very kindly put the first two episodes of Graham Linehan's (Father Ted, Black Books) new sitcom online. The first episode is pretty good, the second is absolutely priceless. Once a master, always a master.

See it here! See hear!

Buyer's Guides

How To Buy A Baseball Glove

Gloves, like the hands they fit, come in a variety of sizes. Baseball and softball gloves also are geared to fit both the position you play and the level of your game. Keep these factors in mind when you decide which style, size, features and materials best suit your game.

Gloves by Fielding Position

Gloves are made to better help you field your position. A key element in determining the size mitt you buy is the position you play in the field.

  • A fingerless mitt (it does not have individual fingers)
  • Has heavy padding to reduce the sting from the pitcher's throw
  • Reinforced to withstand the heavy use throughout a game

First base

  • Also resembles a mitten, but has less padding than the catcher's mitt
  • It is longer to help the first baseman field throws from infielders
  • A shallow pocket allows the first baseman to quickly retrieve the ball from the mitt

  • A five-fingered glove with a shallow pocket
  • A youth size is between 9 - 11 inches
  • Adults 10 1/2 to 11 1/2 inch is the typical baseball size
  • Softball infielder gloves have a deeper pocket to accept the bigger ball
  • Second basemen need a smaller glove to help make those quick throws while still having control
  • Shortstops use something in the middle for grounders and quick throws
  • Third basemen need a larger glove

  • Usually sized at 12 to12 1/2-inches for adults, about 11 inches for children
  • A deeper pocket to handle balls hit high in the air
  • Longer length to give as much reach as possible
  • If you plan to play several positions, find a glove that provides the most control for a variety of outfield positions

Softball gloves

  • Generally larger both in the pocket and length to help players handle the larger ball
  • If you play both baseball and softball, and you only want to buy one glove, select a softball glove

Return To Top

Find the Features that Fit Your Game

Today's gloves have different features built-in to help your game and to suit your ability. Here are the key features constructed into gloves and what to consider in finding the glove that suits you.

  • Pocket
    • The size of the pocket depends on your position
    • Shallow pockets really help middle infielders quickly grab the ball and throw
    • Deeper pockets help outfielders shag down fly balls
    • Softball players also need a bigger pocket to catch the bigger ball
  • Webbing
    • Different styles of webbing are available to either help you better field your position or to fit your preference
    • A closed web is preferred for pitchers who want to hide the ball from the batter
    • Outfielders and third basemen like the extra support from a closed web
    • An open web helps middle infielders get the ball out of their gloves quicker to make throws
  • Backs
    • There are two choices of backs, open or closed
    • The type of back is matter of personal preference, but some styles fit some positions better
      • The open back leaves a space open across the glove's back
      • Middle infielders prefer this for the flexibility
      • Outfielders prefer a closed back with a "finger hole" for extra support
  • Wrist adjustment
    • Gloves come with an adjustment to keep it snug. Not all gloves have these "fit systems."
    • A D-ring fastener allows you to pull on the lacing and make the glove tighter or looser
    • A Velcro fastener although it may wear quicker, offers convenience of pulling and adjusting to fit your comfort level
    • A Lacing adjustment allows you to loosen or tighten the wrist fastener with leather laces.
    • A Buckle system adjusts the glove with a buckle similar to an adjustable hat
  • Padding
    • The amount of padding in the pocket depends on the position played
    • The catcher's mitt has more padding to handle hard throws from a pitcher
    • Glove makers have been adding more padding for other positions as well to help players handle the sting of hard-hit balls
    • There also may be padding in the wrist area to make the glove more comfortable

Gloves come in a variety of materials, with the difference being in the feel and durability.

  • Leather
    • Materials of choice for gloves
    • Leather offers the best comfort, control and feel
    • The better the leather, the better the glove
  • Treated leather
    • Leather is treated and softened with chemicals for faster break-in and increased durability
    • Treated leather also reduces the care needed for the glove and helps the glove keep its shape
  • Synthetic materials
    • A lighter, less-durable material
    • Less expensive, good for youngsters
    • Won't withstand the wear and tear of playing ball nearly as well as leather

Return To Top

Fit the Glove to Your Hand

Although age is also a factor, the position you play is the most important consideration in choosing a baseball or softball glove.

  • Youth models are smaller to help kids maintain control
  • Avoid the urge to buy a bigger glove that you'll grow into
  • Kids under the age of 8 should stick with a glove from 9 to 11 inches
  • Kids from 8 to early teens, consider an 11-inch glove
  • Beginners also benefit from the added control that they get from smaller gloves

High School/ Adult

  • Outfielders need 12 to 12 1/2 inch gloves with deeper pockets
  • Infielders need smaller gloves (10 1/2 to 11 1/2 inch) with shallower pockets for better control and quicker ball transfer
  • Pitchers can go with a slightly larger glove than infielders but still need a small enough glove for fielding and throwing quickly
  • Softball players require gloves that are slightly longer in length and deeper in the pocket to help field the bigger ball

Buying a Ball

Balls come in different sizes, materials and hardness.

  • Most baseballs are 9 inches in circumference
  • Leagues for under-10 year old players may use a slightly larger ball
  • Softballs typically are 12 inches in circumference, while some women's and youth leagues usually an 11 inch ball

Balls are manufactured out of leather or synthetic leather. There are also safety balls for younger players.

  • Leather is used in the Major Leagues and other upper-level leagues
  • Synthetic leather is used primarily for balls in the Little League age group and younger
  • "Safety balls" are engineered to play like a real ball without the sting of a hard ball. Known as "Reduced Injury Factor" or RIF balls, they roll and bounce like their harder cousins, but don't hurt as much if the player gets hit.

Panasonic EY7880LP2S Tough IPTM 28.8-volt 3.0Ah Cordless 3/4” SDS-plus Rotary Hammer Kit

When installers have hundreds of holes to drill in concrete or other materials, it's time to turn to the Panasonic EY7880LP2S SDS-plus Rotary Hammer Kit. The rotary hammer is built to handle serious drilling jobs. Panasonic serial drilling tests show the power hammer can drill 180 1/2” x 1-9/16” holes continuously, only stopping to change battery packs twice in the test. Its maximum continuous drilling capacity is 9/16”-diameter x 3-1/2”-deep holes.
The 3/4” SDS-plus cordless rotary hammer can handle this tough, continuous use because it is built to handle the heat and dust that knocks out most rotary hammers working under such severe conditions. The magnesium metal gear case has a computer-designed air flow system that acts as a radiator to cool the hammer and drive mechanism, yet is sealed to keep dust out of critical components. A large fan pulls air through the tool at a high velocity, cooling the tool while preventing tool-killing dust buildup inside the system. The dust-proof, slow-start two-finger switch protects electrical components from dust contamination, yet is easy to hold, even in difficult work.

The power hammer's ergonomic design makes it comfortable to use in repetitive drilling jobs. At only 12-9/16” long x 8” tall x 3-3/16” wide and 8.49 lbs. including the 28.8-volt 3.0Ah Li-ion battery, the hammer is light enough and has a comfortable balance and handle position, even for overhead work. The soft rubber grip improves comfort and the auxiliary side handle that has a built-in depth gauge can be positioned 360 degrees for optimal tool comfort and control.

The two-speed transmission offers 0-920 rpm drilling/0-4,500 bpm hammering at 23.6 kN (2,400 kgf) of force in high/hard mode and 0-500 rpm drilling/0-2,800 bpm with 12.7 kN (1,300 kgf) of force in low/soft mode.

The rotary hammer comes with two high-capacity 3.0Ah Li-ion battery packs that reach usable charge in 60 minutes and full charge in 80 minutes when charged with the kit's EY0L82B charger.

Tough and Long-Lasting Battery Packs

The cordless rotary hammer, powered by Panasonic's 3.0Ah 28.8-volt Li-ion battery pack, is designed to deliver high output with low heat generation. The design provides twice the lifetime total performance vs. current Ni-Cd battery packs. The kit comes with the EY0L82B charger and two EY9L82B 28.8-volt battery packs. Using the supplied charger, the battery can be charged to a usable level in 60 minutes and fully charged in 80 minutes.

Tough Tools for Tough Conditions

The EY7880LP2 SDS-plus rotary hammer has an IP56 rating that proves the hammer's toughness claims. This rating means the tool has withstood demanding laboratory tests of working in extremely dusty work environments and the effects of water getting sprayed on the tool by powerful jets. In the field, it assures professional tradesmen have a power hammer that can stand up to the rigors of hard jobsite use.
The IP rating is established by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and is outlined in IEC 60529. The standard outlines a coding system that indicates the degree of protection an electrical machine's enclosure offers internal components. Based on objective testing, it assigns a rating to the enclosure's ability to keep potentially damaging solid foreign objects (dust and contaminants) and water out of the tool under increasingly difficult conditions.

The dust protection test subjects the rotary hammer to a very dusty environment and then puts it to work to assure the tool was unaffected by dust exposure. In the grueling test, the tool proved that it achieved a dust protection level of five out of six levels; the sixth level is for dust-tight tools. It's a good indication that the tool's design keeps potentially harmful contaminants out, assuring long life and top performance that professionals demand. Similarly, the water protection test put the tool up against increasing levels of water exposure. It attained a six out of eight levels rating, withstanding the effects of powerful water jets.

Whether it's extremely dust work conditions or work in damp or wet locations, users will appreciate a tool that will keep working when others would likely fail. Consult the safety and operating instructions for more information.

Recent Events in Prototypes/Artefacts/Scenarios en-us Wed, 09 Sep 2009 08:27:58 PDT 3600 Focus-Shift: Interaction and Expertise Level Wed, 16 Jul 2008 16:00:00 PDT The goal of this research is to investigate what happens when artefacts mediate interaction. To do this we investigated nurse's interaction during the bandaging process in order to understand better how an artefact enhances user's experiences. To maintain research rigour we applied a triangulation approach that links observations of current procedures, talk-aloud protocol during interaction and retrospective interviews. Using software to aid our analysis of the videos we produced diagrammatic maps of their interaction. The maps allowed us to see that some nurses bandage more intuitively than others. Nurses who bandage intuitively assemble long sequences of bandaging actions while nurses who bandage less intuitively "focus-shift" in between bandaging actions. We argue that nurses who bandage intuitively demonstrate greater expertise than nurses who do not. We discuss these differences and explore how different levels of expertise can influence how mediated interaction takes place. Finally, we introduced how knowledge generated from this research can be transferred to the design domain, interaction and interface design in particular, and contribute to the design process as a whole. Keywords: Expertise; Focus-Shift; Tacit Knowledge; Interaction Design; Interface Design; Nursing Vesna Popovic Exploring Physicality in the Design Process Wed, 16 Jul 2008 16:30:00 PDT The design process used in the development of many products we use daily and the nature of the products themselves are becoming increasingly digital. Although our whole world is turning ever more digital, our bodies and minds are naturally conceived to interact with the physical. Very often, in the design of user-targeted information appliances, the physical and digital processes are formulated separately and usually, due to cost factors, they are only brought together for user testing at the end of the development process. This not only makes major design changes more difficult but it can also significantly affect the users' level of acceptance of the product and their experience of use. It is therefore imperative that designers explore the relationship between the physical and the digital form early on in the development process, when one can rapidly work through different sets of ideas. The key to gaining crucial design information from products lies in the construction of meaningful prototypes. This paper specifically examines how physical materials are used during the early design stage and seeks to explore whether the inherent physical properties of these artefacts and the way that designers interpret and manipulate them have a significant impact on the design process. We present the findings of a case study based on information gathered during a design exercise. Detailed analysis of the recordings reveals far more subtle patterns of behaviour than expected. These include the ways in which groups move between abstract and concrete discussions, the way groups comply with or resist the materials they are given, and the complex interactions between the physicality of materials and the group dynamics. This understanding is contributing to ongoing research in the context of our wider agenda of explicating the fundamental role of physicality in the design of hybrid physical and digital artefacts. Keywords: Physicality; Digitality; Product Design; Design Process; Prototyping; Materials Devina Ramduny-Ellis Mapping the Design Criterion Framework for Museum Exhibition Design Project Wed, 16 Jul 2008 17:00:00 PDT Currently, museums are struggling to develop and present their expertise by focusing on the interactive relationship with museum visitors. In order to meet the needs of museum exhibitions, an efficient and workable design process is of primary importance in order to work to develop high quality museum exhibitions. It would be advantageous to generate a design method which allows designers and curators to undertake design work in the context of museum exhibition project. Based on an empirical analysis, this paper suggests that a systematic transformation develops specific aspects of detailed design to carry out its principle, and that the implementation of these aspects can be viewed as a process of organizational criteria of museum exhibition design projects. The paper is concerned with design process in organizations seeking to act systematic criteria in the design activity on the application of museum exhibition project development in complex theories. In particular, this study is developed to address the following objectives: a) To identify the characteristics and concepts of the design activity as they relate to museum exhibition design; b) To contribute to a more complete understanding of design process by developing guidelines for adoption in projects. c) To establish the benefits of the application of design guide theory to the practice of museum exhibition design; Keywords: Museum Exhibition; Design Criteria; Design Process Chunghung Lin

effective blogging
Blogging is the buzz word today, but there are many home business owners who really do not understand how ‘Effective Blogging’ works!

If you actually think about it…it’s in the heart of great content that lies great communication, and that’s where you can differentiate between a regular (run-of-the-mill) blog and a highly valuable blog, which you really feel like coming back to, again and again.

Here’s are the 7 C’s of highly Effective Blogging

1. Completeness

Your blog post is complete ONLY when your reader gets all the information they’re looking for. Sometimes you may assume that your reader will get the point, but that’s not enough. Always complete your thoughts and your lines well, to an extent that there is no doubt in your readers mind, to what you’re trying to convey to them. Give your readers the complete picture. Describe, what are their benefits and what are the results that they can expect. That’s effective blogging.

2. Conciseness

This is one of my favorites. Conciseness the art of telling the most, with the least amount of words – without sacrificing any of the other C’s. A concise message can save you and your readers a lot of time. Effective blogging drives the point straight in, without much rambling around. Read through your post and reduce all the extra words, which you know are not required.

3. Consideration

Effective blogging starts with ‘keeping your ideal reader in mind’. Most bloggers just love writing whatever comes to THEIR head, but the key is in crafting your blog to address the problem that your ideal reader has got. Put yourself in your reader’s shoes and think… “Will this post be beneficial to my reader? Will this be a solution to his/her immediate problem?” And your answer is a YES, then you’ve probebly got your Consideration part right!

4. Clarity

Clarity is the key. Getting the message from your mind, into the mind of the reader ACCURATELY is called Clarity. Choosing the right words in your post will really help. Use short words, and write in a way that’s like a conversation between you and the reader. Avoid using all that technical jargon. It really doesn’t matter how big a vocabulary you have, because if you are not able to convey the message there is no point.  Use familiar language and write your heart out. That’s effective blogging.

5. Courtesy

Do you ever reply to your comments? Are you thanking the people that are sharing your posts to other places? When you show your sincere attitude of appreciation and gratitude, then you become a more likable person. Be thoughtful, appreciative, helpful, and truly respectful to your readers. Remember you are building a community here, so you want to promote values that define you as a person. That’s effective blogging.

6. Concreteness

Be specific and define all aspects very clearly in your writing style, coz leaving things vague and general will not help you or the reader. Use active verbs rather than passive. Analogies really work. Show off your personality and your voice—that’s what makes readers hang on to every single word. That’s effective blogging.

7. Correctness

This is something that can easily be fixed. Punctuations, spellings, grammar, accuracy of facts and figures, all these need to be reviewed before you can even hit the PUBLISH button. That’s effective blogging.

Making Dallas Even Better

What is the Next Dallas Food Trend?

We’ve had petit fours, cupcakes, whoopie pies (sorta), and frozen yogurt. If you had a million dollars, check that, I mean at least two million dollars, what new “trend” or would you bet on? Probably too late for a taco joint. What’s the next big deal?

  • TK

    Can we get a recap?

  • Scagnetti

    @DGirl:”The Austin of old was teeming with cool people, but now it’s full of New Yawkers and other people”

    Do you realize us Yankees can vote now and own property?

  • DGirl

    I know, Scagnetti. I sound silly and antebellum but the Austin of years ago isn’t what it is today, for better or worse. I miss the old days. If you’re a Yankee then you probably don’t get it.

  • Marci

    I’m thinking…people are going to start cooking at home and eating out less….

  • Jo Bennett

    Dallas area is not truly’s predictible.I see very little in the Food or/and restaurant scene here…sorry!

  • mark

    I’d open a Pita place that mimmicks a burrito place in trendy west Plano.

  • kindofabigdeal

    @jo bennett. not being trendy isn’t a bad thing. Trying to be trendy but failing is.

    What does it mean to say you see very little in the food and/or restaurant scene here? Are you having a hard time finding restaurants? no, of course not. You’re saying we’re not on the cutting edge. Dallas needs to appreciate the places that are doing un-trendy food very well before we go making the rules. its the old, “you have to know the rules before you can break them” adage.

    Dallas could stand to be a bit more Portland, and a lot less wanna-be LA and NY.

  • Steven Doyle

    We are a mere 7 days away from J. Blacks from Austin opening on Henderson. I took a peek at the build out last night and it looks awesome. Competition breeds a happy me. They already have their wifi in place (needed it last night while at NST).

    Think small plates, and cool retro drinks like sazerac and Hemmingways.

  • Jessica

  • Elizabeth B

    Hi Steven! I’ve tried to eat at Rusty’s half a dozen times- the line is always out the door! Ugh, for tacos?

  • Steven Doyle

    Ha, Elizabeth you need to call me. I have a secret backdoor relationship at 43 of the best taco stands in Dallas. Code word: FEED ME. See you at the Wine and Dine tomorrow night? Eddie Deen’s. Yum.

  • Luis D

    im putting all my money on food trucks.
    its all the rage in LA.

  • Daniel Carver

    Food from the middle ages is all the rage.

  • Cheese with that wine

The Green Life: Algae into Gold? A Look at Biofuel

« Urban Foraging: A Feast of Weeds | Main | Daily Roundup: August 14, 2009 »

August 14, 2009

Algae into Gold? A Look at Biofuel

Algalbloomijpg Algae. More than just pond scum, it's been fueling the news about alternative energy. ExxonMobil, British Petroleum, and Bill Gates have all recently announced investments in the potential biofuel.

Today, the Wall Street Journal reported on a Silicon Valley-based company, LiveFuels, that aims to convert an algae problem in the Gulf of Mexico into an energy solution. Each year, a “dead zone” forms there, where pollution-fed algal blooms choke out marine life. LiveFuels proposes importing mobile, algae-eating fish farms to harvest the blooms. The company would later convert those algae-fed fish into oil.

In some ways, algae seems like a panacea. After all, it doesn’t ask for much – just a little sunlight and carbon dioxide, and we’ve got plenty of both to spare. Oil companies like it because they find it compatible with existing transportation infrastructure.

But like most biofuels, algae requires a nuanced look. For instance, the fact that many biofuels, like algae, grow quickly and easily makes them unwieldy, critics say. They could easily grow out of control and overtake ecosystems. Think kudzu.

In addition, the Sierra Club questions using algae-eating fish to address the Gulf of Mexico's dead zone because it ignores the root of the problem, which is the fact that industrial agriculture dumps fertilizers into the Mississippi upstream.

Sorting through the good and bad of emerging biofuels can be tricky. A good start is this handy Biofuel Comparison Chart from Treehugger.com

Mayor Krysztof vetoes DUI ordinance

April 25, 2001

Baldwin City Mayor Stan Krysztof isn't through yet. Just weeks ahead of his final meeting of the city council, he's chosen to veto an ordinance recently by the council concerning Driving Under the Influence.

Although a mayoral veto is uncommon, it is well in the realm of his power, according to City Administrator Larry Paine. Krysztof was defeated in his re-election attempt during the Feb. 28 primary. Ken Hayes takes over as mayor May 7.

Paine said there hasn't been a veto during his tenure and he couldn't find another example of it occurring in recent Baldwin history.

"It hasn't happened since I've been here," said Paine, who has been here for two years. "The authority belongs to the mayor in a council-mayor form of city government. With a city commission, that can't happen."

The council passed two ordinances governing drinking and driving among those 16 to 21 years of age. They criminalize driving with a blood alcohol content between .02 to .08. Over .08 BAC constitutes Driving Under the Influence which has its own penalties and procedures.

One of the ordinances passed by the council mirrors state law on the offense. The other ordinance allowed the city prosecutor leeway in applying the law. That's what Krysztof took exception to.

"In accordance with provisions of KSA 12-3003, I am exercising the authority granted in the Statute to veto Ordinance No. 1059," Krysztof said in a letter to the city council. "My concerns are as follows: Over the past 40 years, we have seen a trend toward giving more and more freedom without seeing more responsible behavior. Passing this ordinance gives more flexibility to our court personnel but I do not see the prospect of more responsible behavior; The ordinance should have imposed the requirements of the state law requiring the surrender of the individual's operating license and imposing a $500 fine; The ordinance allowed the individual to plea for a shorter suspension of the motor vehicle operator's license instead of the automatic loss of the license for a full year.

"For the above reasons, Ordinance 1059 is hearby vetoed," Krysztof wrote.

The council discussed and passed the ordinances at the last two council meetings. Krysztof didn't attend either one.

George McCrary, one of three councilmen to win election in the April 3 ballot, thought Krysztof did the right thing. McCrary, Hayes, Ken Wagner and Todd Cohen will take their places on the council May 7.

"Good for him," McCrary said of Krysztof's veto. "I agree."

The council can override the veto with votes from three-quarters of the council. That would amount to four votes. The ordinance passed by four votes.

Paine said Krysztof felt strongly about the matter.

"What his concerns are it sends the wrong message to younger drivers that you can plead your way out of it," said Paine. "The first ordinance applies the state law to blood alcohol content, with .02 to .08 you will lose your license for a year. The second allowed the prosecutor to change that and that's the part Stan disagreed with."

Tuxford had a large railway presence with three boxes, three stations and a engine repair depot.

Tuxford Central signalbox (pictured above) this was located at the end of Tuxford Central platform on the former LD&ECR Ollerton (Lincoln) line (pictured below).

This great historic shot shows the interior of Central signalbox in 1982. I am told the box was closed in late 1981.

Picture courtesy of Michael from photoshare website Flickr.

The same view in 2010 showing only the 'Up' platform still in situe. A stoneblower machine can just been seen in the distance in testing trials.

Just a few hundreds yards up from the old central station, a rotten bench with two signal cranks in situated, and clearly one is dated 1956, (this is the manufactoring date).

And another hidden piece of history.....an old telegraph pole insulator with the wire still attached and dated 1942 with LNER on the side.

Pictured above was Tuxford North station with the North signalbox located at the end, this was situated on what is now the East Coast mainline (former LNER).

And this was Tuxford Dukeries Station also located on the former LNER about half a mile South of Tuxford North station.

It was at the time an interchange with two platforms on the LNER serving the route to London & Edinburgh, and another two platforms above to serve Nottingham & Lincoln.

The high-level (Lincoln) platforms and buildings were made entirely of wood due to being built on the metal bridge also carrying the lines. The photo above shows the lines to and from London and the high-level shelter above.

The metal bridge was a three tier bridge with additional lines either side of the mainlines.

More pictures of the railway at Tuxford can be viewed on an external site by clicking HERE.

The picture here shows the true extent and large railway presence in Tuxford. This is Tuxford Dukeries Junction signalbox in 1960. The lines to the right are to Tuxford West Jn and onto the Former Lincoln line, although both lines still exist today, there is now no connection between the two.

This 1947 Ordnance Survey map shows the locations of the three station; 1: Tuxford North, 2: Dukeries (high level), 3: Dukeries (low-level) and 4: Tuxford Central.

The third remaining box was Tuxford West Jn, this was also located on the Ollerton (Lincoln) line, the two lines leading down to the left joined the LNER (ECML).

The ground frame below has been brought back into use along with two others to enable engineering test trains to use the line again to the site of High Marnham power station. The line is now a Network Rail test track which will again see trains running between Shirebrook to Tuxford, eventually using the rest of the line to High Marnham.  (Please see the Rail Innovation and Developement  page for more info and Network Rail's official brochure).

NR's multi-million pound track laying machine which will be used to modernise the West Coast mainline is currently being trialled and will relay the line as it is being tested, with daily operations taking place.

The main offices and repair cabins are located in Tuxford close to the A1.

Below are pictures of the newly repaired and recommisioned ground frame No 2.

Around the corner from central station site towards Ollerton and there is a siding made up of some of the original Bull Head rail, this chair is stamped LNE and dated May 1939 - a great piece of history!

Twitter Counter Website Count API Down?

Twitter Counter is the ultimate twitter statistics provider website that allows you to display widgets that show the number of Twitter users following you in real time! But their server widget API seems to have been down for the past 48 hours since as you can see from my side widget that it is displaying my Twitter followers count at 398 whereas my current follower status is 433 and increasing by the minute !According to the site my twitter rank globally is at position 66,772.I find that impressive .In Kenya i rank at position 36 and steadily climbing!

Unfortunately that statistic is misleading. Im sure that if someone can come up with another constantly updating widget on the number of twitter followers a use has that person will make a killing as twitter counter is somehow slow or not efficient as it should be. It's not in doubt that many companies have now taken to twitter marketing as the number of twitter followers continue to swell. Kenyan corporates are still on using tradiitional marketing techniques and continue to pity them.But should a company need social media marketing tips and techniques im open for consultations.

Im also pleased to see that more and more Africans and or people interested in Afrian tweets are signing up at the afritwits twibe which is an aggregating portal for geocentric african twits. If you havent signed up please take this opportunity to sign up and or follow me on Twitter @collinsom92

Heatwave Celebrity Cruise

  1. I agree 100%. Twitter Counter slows down my site a great deal and doesn't update the count nearly enough.

    Hopefully someone will create a better service.

MarkedUp Launches App Analytics for Desktop, Windows 8 Phone

Article first published as MarkedUp Launches Analytics for Windows 8 Phone, Desktop Apps on Technorati.

It’s no wonder it didn’t happen sooner given that the desktop app economy is about 10x larger than any other native development platform. Estimated to be around $100 billion industry, the desktop software market was ripe for a solution that seemed to be so prevalent on other platforms with far less reach. Something that could help drive free-to-paid conversions, increase user satisfaction, interaction and help give developers insights on how users behave, and more importantly what can be done to increase profits. This is the reason MarkedUp decided to launch out of Santa Monica’s MuckerLab by supporting Windows first. You can find the text of their announcement here.

markedup app image on windows surface

Yes, the company does have plans to provide their analytics to other mobile and desktop platforms, but according to MarkedUp CEO Aaron Stannard, a former Microsoft Developer Evangelist, there was, “…a huge vacuum in the marketplace for premium apps that monetize directly through sales.” Stannard goes on, “When I worked at Microsoft, I had a chance to work closely with dozens of app developers who were porting popular iOS and Android titles to Windows Phone and Windows Desktop – absolutely none of them had found a viable analytics solution much less a solution that provided them the analytics and information they need to sustainably monetize their apps on ANY platform”

Author Michael Carney, in an article for Pando Daily argues that while many view desktop software as a thing of the past, “the reality is that there is likely a convergence of platforms taking place where a single operating system, and thus a single version of each piece of software, will soon operate across a wide variety of devices form factors from smartphones, to tablets, to PCs.” And he believes, along with many others, that Windows 8 will lead this convergence. Even Apple is making progress by integrating many OSX and iOS capabilities.

Currently MarkedUp is in a public beta release, and the first 500 developers to register for the service will receive a free 2-year license with unlimited use. Normally the service would include the first 1,000,000 data points for free and then users charged $99 per additional million data points. But for now, and at least through the end of Q1 2013, the service is completely free. Before launching their public beta, the company was working internally with Microsoft BizSpark and Generation App program developers.

MarkedUp Features

While the success of MarkedUp, for now, will depend on the number of people developing apps for Windows 8, some of the claims from Microsoft have been encouraging. According to Windows Phone manager, Joe Belfiore 46 of the top 50 apps in iTunes and on Google Play are also available for Windows Phone. Microsoft is also actively courting developers by citing numbers related to possible market size. During the keynote of Microsoft’s Build Conference, CEO Steve Ballmer highlighted the opportunities by citing that there are around 670 million Windows 7 PC’s with the potential to run Windows 8. And within the first 3 days of release around 4 million actual upgrades were made.markedup app image on windows mobile phone

Ballmer went on, ““Our industry is rebuilding itself around new devices and services,” Ballmer noted before he called on developers to rise to the occasion. This new universe represents an opportunity for app developers to make one app for all PC forms. “It’s an unprecedented market. Hundreds of millions of users are dying to buy your application.”

Developers can install MarkedUp’s software developer kit (SDK) directly into their apps, and then connect it with user activities like sign ups, time spent, screens viewed, bug tracking and more. Once launched in the Windows Store, MarkedUp works nicely in the background collecting valuable data points to be analyzed later for further customizations and app refinements later. Data begins to appear in developer’s dashboard about an hour after developers launch their app.

Again, the first 500 to sign up get 2 years free regardless of how much volume you do, and up through Q1 2013 it’s free for everyone. So if you’re a application developer looking at the opportunities Windows development might offer, hurry over to MarkedUp to register your account, get the SDK, and read more about how they can help you make your apps better and more profitable on the Windows Store.

Revised 2005 proposal for meta-data

Are you wedded to the curly brackets?

The way I see it, Markdown already has a span-level metadata syntax:

This is [a link]( "Title").

In Python it might be this function:

def link(link_text, href, title=None):

# blah blah

But it could just as easily be this one:

def meta(text, href=None, title=None, **kwargs):
if not "element" in kwargs:
if href:

# blah blah

And exist in text like so:

This is [a link]( xml:lang="en").

[Not a *link*...](class="not-a-link" element="blink")

Like the curly-bracket proposal, something similar was also [discussed
in 2005][1], though only in relation to reference-style links and

I think it's more elegant, but that's obviously a personal preference.

* * *

The footnote syntax isn't official, but it's pretty popular:

Blah blah blah [^note_id] blah.

[^note_id]: Note text.

That's just arbitrary metadata applied to a specific point inside a
block. It's a natural syntax to extend to other types of metadata,
indicated by their own "magic" characters:

> Blockquote hooray! [@cite="" class="ext"]

## Heading [.classname]

The rules regarding placement etc. could be essentially the same as
they are in the curly-bracket syntax.

I prefer it because square brackets already indicate editorial content
(i.e. a form of metadata) in plain text.

Anyway, YMMV, $0.02, etc. Happy new year!

Unlock The Truth by Robena Grant

Unlock The TruthTitle: Unlock the Truth (Desert Heat Book 1)
Author: Robena Grant
Genre: Mystery, Romance
Length: 261 pages
Publication Date: January 24, 2013

Dena Roman needs closure. Three months ago, her sister’s murdered body was found in the California desert. When a second body is found at the same site, Dena jeopardizes her public relations position to go undercover and investigate. But falling for the main suspect isn’t part of her plan.

Zeke Cabrera needs help. He sold a portion of his family’s Three C’s Estates to keep his citrus farm afloat, but when bodies are unearthed on the site, he’s suspected of murder. Help comes in the form of a communications expert who makes all the difference in his life and business–and in his heart.

Amidst an attack on her life and run-ins with a cantankerous foreman, Dena digs for the truth, even as she forms a strong bond with Zeke. But can their newly found love survive all the deep secrets hidden at Three C’s Estates?

Unlock The Truth Review

I love watching crime shows like Bones and NCIS. Naturally, I love reading a few mystery books. Unlock The Truth has the mystery with a little romance.

Dena Roman is very determined to find the person who killed her sister after another body is found. When the opportunity arises to do her own investigation, she jumps into action. Zeke was the main suspect in Dena’s sister’s case and was found innocent. Dena has to get close to him to find more clues to the two girls murders. Dena didn’t realize how dangerous investigating can be.

Robena Grant kept me guessing on who was the actual murderer. I was bouncing between a couple of people up until the end. All the characters were well developed and it was easy for me to connect with Dena. Got to admire a girl who doesn’t just sit by and let things happen. Also, there was just the right amount of sizzle in this book. Dena and Zeke’s love is something that is developed throughout the book.

If you are looking for a good murder mystery with a touch of romance, Unlock The Truth is one I would recommend.

James: Good Stuff

  1. "Do not error." 1:16

  2. "Be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath." 1:19

  3. "Pure religion ... is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world."
    Cited by Associated Baptist Press in defense of the Affordable Care Act. 1:27

  4. The rich should not be treated better than the poor. 2:2-4

  5. "Love thy neighbor as thyself." 2:8

  6. Help others that are in need; don't just wish them well. This is good advice, though it's unfortunate that James restricted this help to "brothers". Did he mean by this that you only need to help fellow believers? 2:15-16

  7. James ridicules those who say salvation is by faith alone. He says the devils believe in God. Will their faith save them? 2:19

  8. "Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom." 3:13

  9. "If ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth." 3:14

  10. "The fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace." 3:18

  11. "Speak not evil of one another." 4:11

  12. Don't judge other people. 4:12

  13. "Ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away." (All we are is dust in the wind.) 4:14
