Finding Free e-books
Almost every day I search for free books for my Kindle and yours. You don't have to have a Kindle to take advantage of this. You can download them to your laptop and to your other electronic devices (I'm not that technology conversant- Android? I-Phone?).
I post what I find on The Common Room blog's Facebook account.
I first go to the Amazon Kindle store and search the book categories that interest me, choosing to sort them by lowest price to highest. If I have time to browse, I leave the Search box empty, just clicking on different categories under e-books in the left side column. This does bring up a lot of garbage, including covers with unsavory images- the stor that, if they were a magazine cover, they'd be kept where children couldn't see them. It really irritates me that Amazon apparently has no option for blocking these titles if you're not interested in them. I sift through a lot of garbage to find titles that might be of interest.
If I need to quickly target my searches I type a single word into the search box, hoping to bring up titles with that word in it. My most common are:
garden
homestead, homesteading
budget
frugal
groceries
money

“My most common are:

I also use the words thrifty, thrift (although then you have to wade past all the Dover Thrift books), cheap, handmade, homemade, recycling, pantry. Craft and crafts will bring up both things to make and some other weird meanings of craft, so be careful with that one. Also any current holiday (like Christmas) will often bring up free books of frugal recipes or ways to celebrate.

Here’s a blog that comes to my reader daily. A list of around 25 books for free. Great app.

May I add my site to that list? I have an auto discover script running to find free books, so there are about 700 of them coming in each day:

The Planet Of The Arabs And Post-Racial America
A 32-year-old Iraqi woman who was found savagely beaten, a threatening note saying “go back to your country, you’re a terrorist” laying beside her body, recently died after she was taken off life support by her family, succumbing to her wounds. Shaima Alawadi, a mother of five, had been beaten on the head repeatedly with a tire iron and found unconscious in the family’s house in El Cajon, California.
Addressing KUSI-TV, Alawadi’s tearful 17-year-old daughter asked: “You took my mother away from me. You took my best friend away from me. Why? Why did you do it?” Read more

Former Red Sox outfielder Gabe Kapler confirmed via text message that he has re-signed with the Tampa Bay Rays for the 2010 season. The news was first reported by Marc Topkin of the St. Petersburg Times, who reported the amount of the deal at $1.05 million. Kapler hit .239 with a .329 OBP and .439 slugging mark for the Rays in 2009. He spent parts of four seasons in Boston between 2003-06, then spent the 2007 season managing for the Sox’ Single A Greenville minor-league affiliate before resuming his playing career.

show in Cologne, learning all about their magical new coffee machine that very same day?
The coffee-depression study involved 263,925 people. For a year, their drink consumption was evaluated. About 10 years later, researchers asked the participants whether they had been diagnosed with depression since the year 2000. A total of 11,311 of the participants had been.
Participants.

“Our research suggests that cutting out or down on sweetened diet drinks or replacing them with unsweetened coffee may naturally help lower your depression risk,” said study author Honglei Chen, MD, PhD, of the National Institutes of Health in Research.
Well, I’m not sure if I could do four cups of unsweetened coffee, but I DO know that German milchkaffee (milk coffee) is extremely tasty. At home, I like decaf because regular makes me jittery. But hand me some German milchkaffee and I get happy. Put me in a study!
While I helped myself to the free coffee and lunch (thanks, Miele), I learned about their new coffee machine from none other than Markus Miele, managing director and co-proprietor of (Insert his famous last name here)! The machine was so brilliant – not only does it know how tall your cup is, it also somehow knows how wide, so you get the exact right amount of coffee in your cup without the splashes and hot splutters. They gave a demo with a tiny espresso cup and a tall latte macchiato glass.
There was even a feature called the CupSensor, which reacts to beverages made with milk froth by raising the spout 1 centimeter (that’s “a little bit” in U.S.-speak) after milk delivery so that the spout stays clean. It does other helpful chores, such as cleaning itself and making 2 different types of coffee drinks at once. It also has a milk system that for all I know comes with a happy cow right inside the machine (I suspect it’s more like an ease-of-use milk container, but I’m holding out for a mini-cow).
I heard a rumor that it’s expensive, but when you add up the cost over a year of those maccho-latte-frappe-cini-ballerini drinks you’ve been buying for $5 a pop, I guess it’s all relative. Besides, you read the bit about how it cleans itself, right?
I want this machine in my house. My house is in the U.S. This machine isn’t even available in Germany until May. I do not know when it will come to the U.S. Dear Miele, we all want this machine. Please send it to the U.S. We promise to get our own cows. Please send coffee while you’re at it. We promise to never drink soda. We promise to drink our four cups of milchkaffee every day. Thank you.
Miele Press Room
I was one of 12 bloggers invited on BlogTour Cologne by Modenus. Want to see some wonderful pictures of the team? Fellow blogger/ photographer Courtney Price has them. My picture shows how happy I can get after milchkaffee!
I was not paid to talk about the Miele Generation 6000 coffee maker. I just think you’ll like it. Miele was one of the sponsors for the Modenus BlogTour Cologne, for which I am very grateful. And thirsty. And I’d like to see this study replicated using milchkaffee.
What is your favorite coffee drink? Does it make you happy?

Yes, coffee makes you happy, so does the anticipation of great coffee when you see the welcome sight of the Miele Coffee Bar at IMM Living Kitchen!!!
Courtney recently posted..Mr. Steam Spa Evening BlogTour Cologne
You’re not kidding. I loved hanging out in the Miele press room because they kept bringing us tasty items. Who would say no to something that’s free and delicious???

I don’t know if coffee makes me HAPPY but I do enjoy it, dark and black. And I love the various Eurpean dark roasts with a splash of milk or cream. I read somewhere that the milk offsets the caffeine somewhat.
I learned to drink coffee as a teenage with my Daddy. He made what I call Cowboy Coffee… some water in the bottom of a pot, placed on the stove to boil. Then add the coffee grounds and let tme settle. It was strong but if you can drink that, you can drink most anything. What I really liked about it was being with my Dad, just the 2 of us up early in the house, sitting in the kitchen together, sipping and chatting. I think that coffee sure did make me happy!
So glad you enjoyed your trip and saw so many neat new things!
Oh, I’ve heard of that cowboy coffee, but have never tried it. I think it would kill me. It sounds like the sludge that’s left in the bottom of my coffee press! I think the smell of coffee makes me happy, and the taste depends on the particular cup. But I’d love it too, if it were tied to happy memories with my dad (who is luckily still alive).

Come on, Miele, let’s get this machine stateside! I love coffee and it makes me happyyyyyy. And if my machine would clean itself, that would be fantastic!

I’m with you TriGirl. I’d love to have this puppy as a built-in for my kitchen. I’d sure impress my guests, don’t you think!! Especially if I could teach it to clean the whole house, and not just itself!
Fun and Fit recently posted..Food, Glorious Food: What do a Steam Oven and Cologne Cathedral Have in Common?
I LOVE this machine! The only thing it doesn’t do is bring coffee to you in bed in the morning, and since my hubby already does that (and I don’t plan on trading him in), I would be happy with it as is!

You can do 4 cups, with all that running? Wow! Well, according to the research you aren’t at risk for getting depressed.
AlexandraFunFit recently posted..BlogTour: Cologne, Amsterdam and Gifts for Your Home
I’m always skeptical of these. Couldn’t it also be about the nature or personality of coffee-drinkers in general? Maybe they’re more active and busy compared to those who don’t.
Just hypothesizing. Don’t know! But interesting.
Meredith recently posted..Learn about Sugar and Setbacks: 21 DSD Reflection
So true, Meredith. You never know where the confounding variables might be hiding. All research is merely a piece of a puzzle; not the final word until enough of it adds up to create overwhelming evidence. I’ll be following further research with interest.
AlexandraFunFit recently posted..BlogTour: Cologne, Amsterdam and Gifts for Your Home
For me to live on happy street absolutely includes a nice jolt of yummy coffee to start my mornings, although I am a new Keurig owner. This fun little machine allows me to make all types of coffee drinks without the hassle of cleaning the coffee pot ever again. And that’s a big,happy thumbs up! I drink coffee in moderation with hopes that the benefits out weigh the risks.
I’ve heard good things about the Keurig Jackie. The Germans do a great job with appliances, that’s for sure. I’m with you about not wanting the hassle of cleaning the coffee pot.

My favorite to drink is Jamaican Blue Mountain. I get it shipped to me straight from Jamaica. I’m fancy like that. But it’s pricey, of course. Any supposed Jamaican coffee I’ve bought here in the states has proved to be a knock-off of pure nastiness. Gotta go straight to the source!
Yum Yucky recently posted..The Cake Kabob (Fake Azz Infomercial)
Please bring some of that Jamaican Blue to Fitbloggin’ so I can try a little sip. Something tells me it doesn’t come in a decaf version though!
AlexandraFunFit recently posted..Pain Free Movement in 2013: Who Wants In?
Hello Alexandra,
Coffee increases our bodies metabolism and fight against heart diseases and diabetes. It gives us a fresh feeling and increases our performance if we consume moderately. Coffee is a perfect start of our day.

Coffee does make me happy, but only in the morning. If I have any after 2 p.m. it deprives me of sleep and makes me cranky
I’m really confused about all those different results from research though. Can’t they just make up their mind? Good or bad?
Louise – 30s Magazine recently posted..Hotel to Heart: ME London
I can’t have regular coffee after lunch or I’m shaky and wide awake for a very long time. But I do like decaf. And research really is confusing. In the end, I believe everything should be in moderation for most people. Pretty easy rule and not as confusing.
Fun and Fit recently posted..Abs and Core Exercises Safe for the Lower Back
This post will make coffee drinkers happy! Coffee is such a misunderstood beverage. Thought at one time to be the cause of strokes and heart attacks, it was eventually found to have no harmful effect on brain or heart. Now, to know that coffee drinking reduces the chance of suffering from depression, there isn’t any reason left not to enjoy a cup of java.
I personally have never been a coffee drinker, but I do drink a lot of tea. Did they mention anything about tea drinkers and depression?
What I do notice is that people definitely seem happier after getting their coffee fix in the morning!

Fvwm.py is a Python module interface to Fvwm 2.x. It was written by Barry Warsaw and based on fvwmmod.py by Jonathan Kelley.
Fvwm.py is integrated with Tkinter, so your modules can now create windows. You need to have configured Python to work with Tk to use the GUI, but it is not required to run non-GUI modules.
Since Barry doesn't have time to maintain the Fvwm.py, I've become its current maintainer.
In the mean time, I'll uploaded documentation and updated code on the SourceForge. Stay tuned!

<===Well, I suppose I could ride my bike...heh heh!
Sometimes even the best laid plans can go awry. Another way to say it- You can't always get what you want. But if ya try sometimes, you're gonna find. Ya get what ya need!
Saturday was just such a day.
With plans of scouting out the T.I. course out the window due to my Dirty Blue Box's work not being done yet at the shop, I graciously accepted an invitation from Matt Gersib (MG) to ride instead. Now I had never ridden with MG before but I knew him to be a great guy that is a really great rider. I was flattered that he would want to tow me around Iowa gravel roads for an afternoon.
<=== Wolf Creek, Two bikes, Lots of wet soggy gravel = FUN!
What an afternoon too. With temps in the mid thirties, a stiff Northwest wind, and sleet/snow pelting us, we took off from Traer, Iowa to do a loop of indeterminate length. I know this area pretty well, so I pretty much flew by the seat of my pants and we ended up being out for about two and a half hours.
<=== MG proved to be just the medicine the doctor ordered for getting through a miserable afternoon.
If you haven't had the pleasure of riding with MG, you are missing a great riding partner. He made what would have been a "quitting day" a succesful and fun ride despite it all.
This is one of two stops we made when I had to fix my slipping seat post. Otherwise we pretty much had to keep the pedal to the metal the whole ride as it was either wind, hills, soft gravel/mud, or a combination of all three that conspired to make our wheels stop turning. Sleet squalls would occiasionally blow up with their stinging assault and when it wasn't doing that, it was blowing snow that greeted our determined faces.
<=== This pretty much sums up what the gravel looked like all the way 'round our loop.
Generally, there were three good tracks to run in where the car traffic had made the surface compacted and rideable without too much resistance. However; this was also where all the watery slop resided on the road, so we quickly accumulated a fine spray coating of lime all over everything.
There were times when the surface deteriorated into soft mush/mud and became highly resistant to the passing of our wheels. In some turns, my semi-slick 2.0 tires were slipping and drifting around which was kind of fun, but sketchy all the same. We ended up on about a half mile of rutted out fresh gravel/stone that was the result of the road having been flooded over recently. We crossed back over the Wolf Creek and back into Traer where Matt's car was waiting. He offered me a ride back to Waterloo, so I accepted and he dropped me off at my home safe, but very tired and wet.
<=== Dirty Twin Six socks. I promised to get 'em that way!
Matt figured our two and a half was worth about four- four and a half hours of regular conditions riding. Umm........okay! I'll go along with that! It sure was a lot of work. This being my first real training ride for Dirty Kanza, I was drained. I got home, cleaned up, and took a good long nap. I got up very stiff, so a little "vitamin I" was in order.
Today I am feeling it, but in that good way. A great ride to build on and a new cycling friend. I'd say it was a stellar afternoon of cycling goodness. Say, was it cold? I can't even remember it being cold or really that bad at all. Thanks MG, that's what a good riding partner can do on a craptastic day.

Welcome to Gadget Forge, the playground to discover what you can do with the
power of an FPGA. If you've heard about all the cool things that can be done
with an FPGA but aren't sure where to start then Gadget Forge is the place for
you. The purpose of Gadget Forge is to collect interesting FPGA projects from
around the web and present them in a common format that runs on the
Open Source Papilio One FPGA board. Find ready to run projects like a 100Mhz
Logic Analyzer, classic Pac-Man Arcade game, Piano Synthesizer, and Soft
Processors.
Evaluate Projects
Download ready to run bitstreams that can be loaded onto the Papilio One with no
fuss. Bitstreams load in a couple of seconds and let you experience first hand
the cool things that can be done with an FPGA.
Learn From Projects
There is no better way to learn then to jump right in and start hacking with a
working example. Find a project that interests you, set a goal, and then keep
hacking until you get it to work. You will be amazed by how much you will learn
in the process!
Collaboration
Once you've made a cool hack then submit a patch for others to enjoy. Ask for
help in the forums when you get stuck, and offer a hand to those that are stuck
where you were a month ago.
Start Your Own Project
Once you've made your own sweet FPGA project then package it up for the Papilio
One and request your own project space. Get resources such as revision control (svn,
cvs), wiki, web page, bug tracking, and forums for your project. Manage your own
FPGA project just like on Source Forge, but more targeted towards FPGA learning
and evaluation.
What is the Papilio One?
The Papilio One is an Open Source Hardware design that is meant to be the
"Arduino" of the FPGA world. It is not an Arduino, it is a full FPGA development
board, but it embraces the principles that the Arduino was built on. All FPGA
projects on Gadget Forge are targeted for the Papilio One board. To learn more
about the
Papilio
One visit its project page, or to
purchase a Papilio One visit the store.
What are Wings?
Wings are peripherals that snap into the Papilio One, they are meant to be added
into a project "Ala-Carte" as they are needed. Some projects, such as the
Pac-Man Arcade project require special hardware such as a joystick port and VGA
port. Wings allow that special hardware to be added without having to breadboard
or study datasheets, just plug them in as the project specifies and you are
ready to go!
What are Cores?
Cores are reusable modules that can be used by full FPGA projects, in most cases
the cores are not ready to be used stand alone but need to be integrated into
another project.
The contents of the Blog have been added to the sidebar on the front page of.

Papilio Arduino IDE
Run Arduino sketches on FPGA hardware! This project adapts the Arduino IDE to use the AVR8 Soft Processor and the Papilio Platform FPGA boards. The AVR8 is an Open Source RISC processor that implements all the registers and instructions of an ATmega103 processor.
Why would you want to run the Arduino IDE on an FPGA? The answer is rapid prototyping without limits. An FPGA is like a clean slate just waiting to become anything you want. You can do things in hardware with an FPGA that can only be dreamed of on an Arduino. But, it is difficult to design a system from scratch on an FPGA. This AVR8/Arduino project provides an easy to use environment that you are already familiar with that gets you up and running in no time on an FPGA. This provides a great springboard to start exploring the exciting possibilities of an FPGA.
2-Axis Stepper Motor Controller Wing
This is a microstepping single axis stepper motor controller based on Texas Instruments DRV8821 device. It is intended to be used with the Papilio One or Papilio Junior boards It can drive two bipolar stepper motors rated upto 27V and 1.5A, with a simple parallel command interface. The Wing uses a 16-bit Papilio segment.
See also the 1-Axis Stepper Motor Controller Wing project.
OpenBench Logic Sniffer is an open source logic analyzer hardware design. Its purpose is to provide a hardware platform for the SUMP logic analyzer at the lowest possible cost.
A new package has been added to the Files section that includes Logic Analyzer bitstreams for all of the available Butterfly Platform boards.
A new version of the Butterfly Wiring/Arduino IDE has been added under the files section. It adds the following capabilities to the AVR8 core:
-16K Bytes of Program Memory
-Implements PortA-F for 48 I/O lines
-Increases the clock speed to 16Mhz
-Supports Butterfly One board.
The MicroSD Wing is offered at a discounted price during the verification phase. Visit for more details.
A screencast showing how to run the Logic Analyzer under Linux was added to the tutorials section.
The 32 channel Logic Analyzer is up and running on the Butterfly Platform hardware. Head over to the project page to download the compiled client, programming file, and programming client.

Visualizing Data Like a Weatherman
By Deane Barker | August 30, 2012 | No Comments
I loved this video from Hans Rosling around a dataset of average lifespan plotted against average income. The trick is that he steps inside the graph as it moves, and describes what’s going on. It’s compelling.
You have to think he had a screen showing him the data, so he was playing like a weatherman, looking offscreen for some context of what he was pointing at.
I found this via an article about storytelling (a term which I loathe, incidentally). The article was so-so, but the point was that Dr. Rosling is telling stories about the data as it renders, thus imparting (1) a human face, and (2) human context to the data.
The choice of setting is interesting as well. It’s in what looks like an old warehouse, which is not what I would expect. This is something you would normally do against a green screen. But it works well, even if I’m not sure why.

Feature |Preview |PS3 |Racing
Two years have now passed since the release of Gran Turismo 5: Prologue, an elaborate teaser that has left eager fans gasping for more. To my dismay, Gran Turismo 5 is still pinned for an uninformed release some time in 2010 however, and to ease the pain, Polyphony have conjured up Time Trial Challenge, a free playable demo of sorts designed to give us a fleeting taste of what to expect for the full works.
As the resident racing devotee, I am naturally fixated with even the smallest morsel of what is expected to be the most comprehensive driving experience for the current generation. Read on to find out how it performed after taking it for a thorough spin.
Time Trial Challenge is an interesting proposition – as well as a playable demo for the belated Gran Turismo 5, it acts as a compelling competition for devoted racing enthusiasts. Dubbed as the GT Academy 2010, this slim slice of driving diligence is essentially Polyphony’s proving ground to track down the world’s most proficient racing drivers.
The premise is simple: set a time around the Indianapolis GP Circuit in a Nissan 370Z, and revel in sly smugness, or churn with envy, as you are ranked alongside every other candidate of your respective country in an online leaderboard. The resulting winner will then be rewarded with the opportunity to hone their skills on a real life racing circuit and be crowned God of the GT Academy. Oh, I should mention now that the competition is not open to the United States, but access to the demo itself has still been granted. Sorry Yanks, but Polyphony just doesn’t like you enough.
And so, eager to tear some tyre treads, I set about my very first run, determined to make my mark in the competitive rankings. It didn’t go well. Unfortunately, I immediately forgot this was Gran Turismo, pounded the throttle and ended up understeering into the nearby gravel trap before slamming into a wall. And because the cars in Gran Turismo are constructed from solid blocks of granite, my car was left completely unscathed, and I was able to soldier on in my quest to complete a respectable lap time. This answers a prevalent question: there is still no damage, so we will have to wait for the final game to fully test that attribute.
As a demo, the available content is all too slender, with only one track and two variants of the Nissan 370Z. However, what is significant about Time Trial Challenge is the fact that it is indicative of the final game’s physics engine, as it proudly proclaims upon start-up. It’s also fair to say the results are sublime.
While there are only two cars to try out (a standard road going Nissan 370Z, and a tuned version of the same car), the differences between the handling characteristics are profound. The stock version feels sluggish, yet realistically weighty, requiring you to gently feather the throttle to avoid unwanted understeer and approach corners with a level of caution, whereas the tuned version is a different animal altogether. Here, there’s a much finer level of control allowing you to be braver around the corners, and the increased horsepower and better grip results in a more thrilling ride overall.
The handling certainly takes some adjusting to, however, as the physics are locked to the professional settings. Polyphony will only accept the most advanced drivers, and, as a result, all driving aids are turned off by default with no tweakable options available. This leads to some truly unforgiving physics; taming either car is no easy task, as even on my coveted G25 wheel, being overly enthusiastic with the throttle will cause the car to spin relentlessly. Of course, there will be a wider variety of options in the final game for those who can’t drive without stabilisers, but then you would be missing out on the advanced and realistic physics that Gran Turismo 5 has to offer.
The handling model is noticeably tighter than that of Prologue and both cars feel incredibly responsive, particularly with the addition of a racing wheel. Unlike before, you really feel every jolt and imperfection on the track, which actively affects the cockpit view. Since you actually have to brake once in a while, infants accustomed to the likes of Need for Speed will find much to grumble about, but if you take the time to master the characteristics of each car, then the experience is ultimately rewarding and wholly addictive when everything falls to place. Honestly, once you get to grips with the tricky new physics engine, you soon remember why Gran Turismo is so highly regarded in this department, and the fifth installment looks set to surpass the competition if this demonstration is anything to go by.
And then there’s the graphics. While the cars are objects of unbridled beauty than ever before, the track fares less well; it’s blemished with low resolution grass textures and a completely lifeless atmosphere – thanks to a gratingly gormless crowd. Granted, the circuit is comparatively bland in real life, but some track details look downright ugly, such as the trees, which appear to have been stencilled with a blunt set of Crayolas. However, the engine sounds are a definite improvement; the cars no longer sound like vacuum cleaners. I could also complain about the lack of smoke, tyre marks, reverse lights and damage, but that would be unfair considering it is, after all, a work in progress merely designed to demonstrate the prowess of Polyphony’s new physics engine.
It’s difficult to fully ascertain exactly what stage of GT5‘s enduring life cycle this represents, but what has been presented looks very promising and should help to reinvigorate anticipation for the long-awaited chequered flag. Such a teasingly small sample won’t quench fans’ lust for very long, but for now, Time Trial Challenge serves as an enjoyable, free Christmas treat wrapped up nicely by Polyphony.
And for those who might have been wondering, my best time in the tuned 370Z (which I’ve spent the most time with) currently stands at a modest 1.42.75. While I was most pleased with my efforts, my glee was short-lived after sifting through the leaderboard, which is already crammed with skillful drivers that would make Polyphony proud.
Gt5 physics r shit to Forza 3
untrue, the demand for sohetor games is much greater than the demand for racing games. face it, more people prefer sohetor over racing. Forza dropped its price quickly because a lot of people pre ordered it and the rest of em bought it within the nest 2 or 3 months, then sales started to go down, because the demand for racing games is not that high. forza is not boring, ive played it for over 60 hours(just career) and im only 28.3% in, its a LONG game. i expect GT5 to be a great hit

The pirate-themed real-time strategy game formerly known as "Plunder" resurfaces on Xbox Live as Age of Booty, a swashbuckling adventure set on hex-based grids. Players can raid villages, sink merchant ships, plunder gold, and upgrade their vessels in single-player mode, or head online to sail the seas in 25 unique multiplayer maps. Up to four players can team up on a single console, while as many as eight aspiring buccaneers can do battle online. ~ Christopher Brown, All Game Guide

I can already connect my phone to a TV with HDMI and pair a bluetooth game controller with it. How is this special?

This is one thing android badly needs. A standardized joystick/controller API.
The game does not need to know what kind of controller I have just that I pressed stick one forward and depressed button seven.
