It starts with a thorough analysis of your current or proposed video environment, including a review of operational methods, the competency of your staff, and your overall conference experience. Once the assessment is completed, IVCi focuses on creating a series of processes and best practices, including the following areas:
- Conference scheduling
- System monitoring
- Change management
- Conference support and management
- Staffing requirements and roles
- Staffing responsibilities
An operations guide outlining these procedures is provided along with a detailed training session for your team members who manage the day-to-day operations. This ensures your video operations staff has a thorough understanding of what's required to deliver a consistent experience.

True Friendshipby Skip Heitzig
One of the greatest things you could call somebody is your friend. I know sometimes we picture in our minds this sort of Lone Ranger mentality in the people God uses: "Oh, Paul the apostle was just out there by himself." Baloney! Paul had a team; think Barnabas, for example. The apostles Peter, James, and John were often together. There was Ruth and Naomi, Aquila and Priscilla. They all formed great teams. One of the first things God said after creation was, "It is not good that man should be alone" (Gen. 2:18). We need to develop relationships and friendships in order to grow emotionally and spiritually. I want to look specifically at the friendship between David and Jonathan and explore four facets of their friendship that we should practice in our own lives.
The first facet is initiative. As Proverbs 18:24 says, "A man who has friends must himself be friendly." In 1 Samuel 17:57-18:4, we read about how King Saul's son Jonathan first met David after the defeat of Goliath. Jonathan was so impressed with David that "the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David.... Then Jonathan and David made a covenant.... And Jonathan took off the robe that was on him and gave it to David, with his armor, even to his sword and his bow and his belt" (18:1, 3-4). When Jonathan made that covenant and gave those things to David, he did not choose to have a friend as much as he chose to be a friend. When people see that you're willing to step out and invest yourself, they're going to respond to that.
The second facet is encouragement. After their covenant was made, Jonathan gave David something that was very precious. He was in essence saying, "I know that you're next on the throne, even though I should be. I know you are called by God. You take these things. You deserve them." Through the act of giving, Jonathan was both acknowledging that David was God's chosen one and encouraging him in that.
The third facet is support. Soon after the defeat of Goliath, Saul became bent on David's destruction, but Jonathan stuck up for David and put his life on the line for him (see 1 Sam. 19:1-5). Why? First Samuel 19:1 says Jonathan "delighted greatly in David," or prized him immensely. Jonathan had everything to lose, but he valued David's friendship enough to put his own reputation on the line and speak up for him. Proverbs 18:24 in the Message says, "Friends come and friends go, but a true friend sticks by you like family"—ready to support, ready to hold you up.
The fourth facet of friendship is risk. After David had fled from Saul, in 1 Samuel 20, Jonathan tested Saul to see if he still sought to kill David. Eventually, "Saul cast a spear at [Jonathan] to kill him, by which Jonathan knew that it was determined by his father to kill David" (v. 33). What a risk! But by it, Jonathan was able to let David know that Saul was still after his life.
The real secret of Jonathan and David's friendship was that both of them had a heart for the Lord. As they said goodbye to each other, Jonathan told David, "Go in peace, since we have both sworn in the name of the Lord, saying, 'May the Lord be between you and me, and between your descendants and my descendants, forever'" (1 Sam. 20:42). They both loved God.
Let me close with two thoughts. First, make sure your best friend is Jesus. Then, develop friendships that have these four facets. Be a Jonathan to somebody. You might say, "I don't have anything to offer." Oh, yes, you do. You're redeemed, right? You're forgiven, right? You have the Holy Spirit living in you, right? You have certain gifts of the Spirit; all of us do as believers in Christ. When you take a risk and step out to be a Jonathan to somebody, that's when your life really opens up.
I love this devotional from Pastor Skip I want to be a Nathan and be open to what the Lord has for me. I hope you all have a Simply Heavenly day!!! God bless you!!!

February 14, 2016
Global MXR Members:
Happy Valentine Day!
As my gift to you on this special day, I am returning the daily share to 2.5% FIXED from today.
As long as you the members support my YEAR 2020 VISION to have one million members worldwide by the year 2020 then my commitment to you is that I will fix this amount at 2.5% daily sharing so that it does not change again.
I am still learning the mechanics of how to build a hugely successful online revenue sharing advertising business and I have listened to what you the members have told me you want.
You want FASTER EARNINGS so I have learned that 0.5% paid out over 200 days is identical amount of income for the members as 2.5% paid out over 40 days. So you the members get what you want and from today you get 2.5% fixed.
You also want INSTANT COMMISSIONS PAYOUT so this week we will add API to the payment processors Payza, STP, OKPay, Perfect Money so that you can claim and receive your earnings immediately.
With the PayPal issue that Traffic Monsoon is now experiencing, and as Traffic Monsoon is the global leader for this type of business, I have taken a much closer look at their business model compared to MXRevShare and I want to make sure that we are better than them in every aspect for the benefit of our members.
1. TM has been paying out 2% daily (but I heard it is down to 0.4% now). So MXR is 2.5% daily fixed from today.
2. TM pays 10% referral commission on one level. MXR pays 20% on 3 levels.
3. TM has API with instant commissions withdrawals. MXR this week will have API also.
4. TM has a 100% matching bonus for PTC clicks. MXR has this also.
5. TM has only one type of adpack ($50). MXR has 3 choices of adpacks ($5, $25, $50).
6. MXRevShare does have a better pay plan than TM. They only thing we do not have is PayPal. But neither does TM any more. PayPal does not allow the business model of TM or MXRevShare, so PayPal is finished for TM as a pay processor. TM are now pushing their members to use STP and Payza.
7. Since 2009 when I first visited the head office of Payza (AlertPay then) in Montreal Canada, we have had a 5-star ranking with Payza. In the past seven years we have had almost zero complaints and no charge-backs. In the world of online marketing, our near perfect ranking with Payza is unheralded and it is because of my honesty and my close relationship with the leaders and my great communications with our members.
8. MXRevShare also has our 8 MillionaireX matrix business plans for the personal growth and financial empowerment of our members. And each of these 8 MX programs has personal empowerment products EXCLUSIVE to our members because I spent many years creating all of those products. This is a massive benefit that TM and MAP and other revenue sharing platforms to not have.
9. We now have our AMBASSADOR RANKS to inspire our members to greater and greater heights of achievement with MXRevShare. Make it a personal goal of yours to reach the BRONZE or SILVER or GOLD or AMBASSADOR rank by this summer and join a champagne dinner celebration with me in Europe where I will personally recognize each of our leaders.
10. This is not official yet, but it has been on my mind for quite some time, so I will tell it to you here and now. The first 25 members of MXRevShare to reach the AMBASSADOR rank will each receive 1% shareholding in the new MX GLOBAL INC, business which will be incorporated after these 25 individuals are known. And this new corporation will be the holding company for MXRevShare and all 8 of the MillionaireX businesses. So these 25 people will share in everything we have. For me to take MXRevShare to one million members by the year 2020, we will need a very strong team at the top. This team will be me and Janus and these 25 people (millionaires). YOU can be one of them if you make that your focus.
There are multiple other advantages that we have for our members, similar with the business models of Traffic Monsoon and MAP, but I will ask Janus Nowak (our head of technical and systems development for MXRevShare) to detail those benefits in a follow-up newsletter later this week to our members.
Here is my only request to you the members in exchange for the fixed 2.5% daily share:
YOU must click on more banners. YOU must use some of your commissions to purchase more and more adpacks. YOU must strive to reach the Ambassador ranks. YOU must have your own YEAR 2020 VISION for the success of your personal life in all areas. YOU must make real transactions with real payments. YOU must show your large earnings to your personal members and to your prospects and to the tens of thousands of Traffic Monsoon members that are no longer happy with TM. YOU must speak only good about MXRevShare. YOU must refer more and more people with real payments, because only YOU and all of us working together will bring our company to a greater and greater momentum.
You must know that YOU have to do something for the long term success of MXRevShare. It is in YOUR hands. If you want to have 2.5% daily share fixed then you must know that YOU are responsible for our higher company profits, and the higher the profits the higher YOUR own income. This is a win-win-win for everyone.
Remember that MXR is already a very good advertising platform with a tremendous amount of traffic. We already have a top one percent ranking with Alexa and our ranking will only get higher with time. We are only just now over one hundred days old since our launch on November 1 last year.
With your help we will ensure that MXRevShare builds a huge financial reserve over the next months and years for the long term financial stability of the company and its global members.
You know that my absolute commitment is for the long term success of MXRevShare and all the MillionaireX business programs and for you the members.
Say yes to success!
James Lee Valentine.

How It All Started
So what made us so interested in sorting through the hundreds of manly cookbooks out there? Well, quite simply, we published our own cookbook for men! It all started in highschool.
Our Story
Young, and just learning about the world we spent the next four years seeing our own creation coming to life. We worked with chefs, photographers and designers accross the USA who shared our passion. We pulled it off in the end, and created The Man's Cookbook.
We were on TV and it was exciting. But, frankly, we weren't satisfied. The book didn't live up to our expectations of making life easier. We rededicated ourselves to looking at the thousands of other cookbooks constantly being published and finding the one that would best help men like us in our initial goal.

Commodity traders face higher costs under new European rules
[LONDON] Commodity traders and consumers are set for higher costs as the industry will for the first time be subject to similar regulations as stock and bond markets under European Union proposals to prevent market abuse.
Companies where speculative activity makes up more than 10 per cent of their total commodity derivatives trading will need to get a financial license, comply with new disclosure rules and set aside additional capital to back trades, the European Securities and Markets Authority proposed Monday. ESMA also relaxed some previously proposed limits on the total open positions a trading firm can hold in a market.
The update of the region's Markets in Financial Instruments Directive, designed to help prevent another financial crisis, will reshape commodities industries, including the US$940 billion power and natural gas markets. The rules impose costs that may prompt some companies to scale back their trading, leading to less-liquid markets and higher consumer bills, according to utility executives and energy watchdogs who commented on previous draft proposals. ESMA says the recast will prevent abuses.
"This is certainly burdensome from a compliance perspective," said Craig Pirrong, a finance professor at the University of Houston who prepared a paper on the new rules for metals trader Trafigura Beheer BV. "To those who have only a hammer, everything looks like a nail." Two Tests On top of the so-called "main business" criteria, firms will also be assessed under a "market share" test to determine if their speculative trading in commodity derivatives is high relative to overall trading in an EU market. The exemption thresholds, which don't include hedging transactions, range from 3 per cent for oil products and natural gas up to 20 per cent for carbon dioxide emission allowances.
"It all comes down to whether firms are able to identify enough of their trading activity as hedges to fall beneath the thresholds," Pirrong said.
The proposed position limits would range from 5 per cent to 35 percent with special criteria for new and illiquid contracts, according to ESMA. Previously the authority had proposed a range from 10 per cent to 40 per cent.
"There is an element, indeed, of a cost increase for non- financials" such as utilities, oil companies and gas producers, Steven Maijoor, chairman of the authority, said Monday on a call with reporters. The changes will create a more level playing field for commodities companies and banks, he said.
The European Commission has three months to decide whether to endorse the proposals before final approval by the European Parliament and the bloc's Council.

The Automated Container Handling System transports loaded ULDs between destinations in the airport. Additionally, it diverts empty ULDs for parking or maintenance with no manual lifting and minimal operator intervention.
The system is configured as a single isolated loop or as a number of interconnected loops over multiple building levels. Furthermore, the system is controlled by management software which communicates wirelessly, and in real time, with each ULD carrier. The destination, position and progress of each carrier are constantly tracked to provide 100 % traceability of each ULD.
Automating the container handling process provides enhanced quality by reducing the incident rate (IR) and increases productivity and process reliability. Airport security is also increased by reducing the number of times that the bags are handled manually.

Brand Recipe: Nurture Retreats
I asked Sonja Seiler, creator of Toronto's Nurture Retreats to give me three ingredients that defines her brand philosophy. This is what she said.
"The tendency for entrepreneurs to work in isolation and lack support for the personal repercussions of choosing this often-misrepresented lifestyle is high. When you and your dreams are supported by those who not only deeply understand you, but stand for the best in you, everyone benefits."
"Nurture embraces the philosophy of 'everything reflects everything'. The aim is to invite integrity as a consistent foundation from which to start that is reflected through the ingredients used, the attention to detail that is put into all aspects of one's creative life and business, or the transparency with which both the ups and the downs are communicated."
"In an era where a lot of interactions occur through a screen or filter (both actual or social), Nurture aims to bring back the particular kind of magic that happens when people gather over a shared meal or engage in creative activity for its own sake. This type of gathering has the capacity to heal and inspire the relationship both with oneself and others."
At some point or another, there comes inevitable moments of uncomfortable change in life. Sometimes you see it coming, but for the most part, you don't — that's what makes it uncomfortable. The good news is that from this discomfort, incredible shifts happen when you process through it. The work of Sonja Seiler and her Nurture Retreats help along the way. Self care and creativity meet at these weekend retreats. Catered to entrepreneurial women, these retreats offer workshops led by artisans, supportive community discussions from industry professionals, and most importantly, time in collaborative reflection. All of this is catered by with the amazing culinary experience from Seiler herself. Food plays a huge role in these retreats as they are a form of communication in their own right. Every aspect of this experience is curated to envelop you in a nurturing space. All of this was inspired from a genuinely personal experience from Sonja and she remains vulnerable about her process on her blog. I would highly recommend reading it as it's a powerful documentation into the process of creating a retreat, revealing her own moments of change and progress providing an experience for others. Simply put, Sonja gives a damn; And it shows in the care she takes in each of these transformative retreats.
Brand Recipes is a weekly series. Each week, I ask a business to distill their brand philosophy in three words (ingredients).

The end result was a defense that was worn out. Todd Gurley became the second running back in three games to rush for more than 100 yards against Dallas. Jared Goff was sacked just once. And the Rams did to the Cowboys what the Cowboys want to do to their cheap google jerseys nfl opponents: grind the clock to bits.
Johnson, who established himself as an offensive force in 2016 as both a running back and receiver to earn an All-Pro nod at the flex position, expects to continue being used as a receiver under new offensive coordinator Mike McCoy.
Chris Thompson is on an absolute roll. The fifth-year scat back put up 52 receiving yards and a score in Week 1, ran for 77 yards and scored twice in Week 2 and went cheap jerseys for 188 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 14 touches against Oakland on Sunday night. Believe it or not, he's now third among running backs china nfl jersey us review in fantasy points behind only Kareem Hunt and Todd Gurley. Though Thompson has been exciting, it's important to temper expectations moving forward. Thompson has accrued a grand total of 14 carries and 19 targets Broncos jersey on the season.

Thompson has scored four touchdowns after entering the year with eight
career scores. His 0.9 total OTD ranks 90th in the NFL and further suggests his touchdown rate is nowhere close to sustainable. Thompson is seeing enough work to warrant flex consideration, but his ceiling is that of a back-end RB2. This week is your best shot to sell high.

While working out in the yard today, my daughter and I found a little treat - some wild strawberries.
Wild strawberries typically have a much stronger and sweeter flavor than the domesticated versions and are highly nutritious containing iron, potassium, calcium, sodium and high contents of vitamin C. And not only are the berries edible, but also the stems and the stalks. You could also make a tea out of the leaves by placing about two handfuls of the fresh green leaves into about a quart of boiling water; allow to steep for about five minutes and then serve with some fresh lemon juice or some sweetener.
Fun Fact: Wild Strawberries are a part of the Rose (Rosaceae) Family.

This seems to be the only way I can sell the items from the market for more than I buy them for. So it's profitable in coin & leveling to do so. And since I have been able to maintain the dealer at all times, when I don't need ore from him, I buy hot items that will yield the most profit from him to also sell in the zoo. This worked wonderfully until my level 22 zoo vanished in a blink of an eye, sigh.

Ajinkya Rahane admits to struggling on his way to career-best score
Aside from the fact that he managed to cross the 150-barrier in Tests for the first time, the manner in which Ajinkya Rahane subjugated New Zealand's bouncer ploy would engulf him with immense satisfaction. The 28-year-old's extensive partnership with skipper Virat Kohli propelled India towards a mammoth first-innings total at the Holkar Stadium in Indore.
The affable batsman, who was the hosts' representative at the end of day press conference, opened up on his eventful performance in front of a packed weekend audience and how he dealt with the short-pitched stuff from the Kiwi bowlers.
Rahane enthused, "This innings was really special and the partnership too (with Kohli). We were 100 for 3 and from there getting 365 is really special. It was hot out there today. I was struggling yesterday against the short ball and Virat told me to take my time. Today, I wanted to dominate after getting the hundred. This partnership will stay in memory for a long time."
"We were talking about a partnership yesterday but today it was hot and humid. We did not discuss too much about cricket. We wanted to have fun. The partnership was very crucial and we had decided to attack after getting our hundreds. We wanted their fast bowlers to bowl so that we could attack."
For someone who had established himself as India's most dependable Test batsman in the last few years or so, Rahane's stay at the crease did not exude his usual assuredness. He began rather shakily during the opening day but never shied away from playing his strokes. Despite resuming from his overnight score of 79, the Mumbaikar appeared to be a tad uncomfortable as the New Zealand seamers peppered him with a relentless bouncer salvo.

However, his determination and class helped him rebound after being hit on the helmet by a short delivery from Matt Henry. With the pitch keeping low, the ball did not climb enough for him to sway out of the way which meant that a blow had to be absorbed. Not the one to get affected by the proceedings, he chugged on and reached a career best 188.
Rahane admitted, "My approach was good. I struggled but it's no shame to struggle. How you overcome it is important. Today I was really happy, they were bowling short balls as I knew they will give me runs. Yesterday, I struggled but today it was different. Once I got my hundred with Jeetan Patel and Santner came on to bowl, I wanted to play my normal cricket shots."
Having declared at 557/5, India inserted the Kiwi openers for a tricky little period at the end of the day. Though the surface did not pose any significant threat to batsmen, they would be hoping that their spinners capitalize on the foot marks created by the opposition seamers.
He felt, "We knew spots were being created for our bowlers. It was important to keep the New Zealand team on the field for long as they would be tired. Tomorrow will be crucial. The wicket is slightly better for batting and we need to be patient. But, we expect the wicket to become slower."

No Talking, No Reading, No Writing, No Media: How 7 Days of Silence Can Change Everything/
I just finished my first seven-day silent retreat. That means I didn't speak for seven days. Can you imagine? Not a word. It was difficult, for sure, but I was not alone. There were over 40 other people there, too, spending the week in complete silence.
The retreat was at the pristinely beautiful Shambhala Mountain Center in Red Feather Lakes, Colorado. The seven days consisted mostly of mindfulness meditation practice sitting for periods of time on cushions on the floor (or in a chair), interspersed with mindful walking inside the meditation hall or outside with clear views of the Rocky Mountains, relaxing and stress-reducing body scans, and gentle yoga. The retreat was led by Jim Colosi and Janet Solyntjes, both Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) teachers, and mindfulness practitioners for decades, exemplars of a certain calm radiance that only longtime meditators have, and were able to relay through descriptive and illustrative teaching styles how to cut ourselves a break: mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. Over the week, we learned to become more gentle with ourselves, and far less harsh in our inner monologues. When you are on a long retreat, you have plenty of time to see just how self-flagellating and confused that inner voice can be.
It takes courage (or intelligence) to have the willingness to directly face the stuff of our lives in an unbiased, non-discriminatory way, dealing with things as they are, rather than how we want them to be, and thus discover, in the wake of this allowing or acceptance, that we are less stressed, more physically resilient, healthier, somehow happier, and all around more appreciative of the chance to be alive in the fist place. We forget that part, the preciousness of life. And a silent mindfulness retreat can remind us of that.
The week consisted of: sitting practice, mindful walking, yoga, body scans, contemplation, teacher led talks, healthy and delicious meals, hours of restful sleep, and a big, open Colorado sky. The seven days of silence were marked by: no TV or radio, no music, no social media, no phones, no computers, no reading, no writing; eating in the dining room together in respectful silence.
Walking in nature, practicing meditation, learning how to gently touch on thoughts and let them go -- noticing that there are certain thoughts that grab you, thoughts that overwhelm, thoughts that leave you feeling loving and joyous, thoughts of anger, and even rage, and thoughts that move you to cry; during mindfulness exercises we get to observe all of the thoughts and feelings that we quite regularly experience, but with a more circumspect view.
In this environment, I learned some new ways of looking at old ideas. One is that, for our own good, it might be more productive to stop desperately wanting, or striving after some thoughts and feelings and vehemently not wanting, or rejecting others. In order to lessen our own suffering, unhappiness, angst, stress and paralyzing confusion it seems to be more effective to look at reality as it actually is. We keep tricking ourselves into believing that we can control what life throws our way, or for that matter, what thought is going to come up in our mind. Most of the time, however, in either case we don't have much choice. Realizing the truth of this ultimate lack of control is hard to accept, but important.
In a way, perhaps we need to mature into adulthood, learning how to play the hand we are dealt in each moment, with gentleness and large doses of self-compassion. Once this kind of personal bravery is chosen -- the courage to face things directly (with choiceless awareness) rather than how we wished it were -- we have a fresh opportunity to experience life more fully, more meaningfully, and with more confidence. While sitting on my meditation cushion, I realized that it made more sense to stop resisting things as they are and create, instead, a bigger space on the "acceptable" side of my ledger, yielding to the truth of what is right before my eyes rather than fighting the losing battle of forcing and manipulating things to be different. The "I, me, mine" emphasis does us no good, I saw so clearly in the content of my thoughts, and holds me back from becoming my most mindful and caring self.
The retreat has ended, and I am speaking again now, and writing, and typing, and checking my phone, and the Internet, back in the everyday world. And, just like those sand mandalas, the magnificent works of art that Buddhist monks painstakingly construct and then destroy, made more precious by their inherent fleetingness, our retreat group has spread now, dispersed like that sand, with new experiences in front of each of us. Yet, I think that I will never forget the past seven days, and, if my hunch is right, I am changed in some pretty fundamental and lasting ways.
Sitting with oneself in such a caring "container" allows people to get in deeper touch with themselves, cultivating a warm friendship (self-affiliation rather than self-aggression), becoming kinder, gentler, and wiser. Physiologically speaking, wisdom is rooted in prefrontal cortex activation of the brain. And mindful meditation and other stress reduction practices have been shown to enhance this response, while reducing the fight-or-flight stimulation of the cortisol pumping amygdala, with its potential to make us sick, reduce vitality and longevity, and leave us emotionally shaken.
We've got to confront our stress or, in the end, it will win out.
There is so much discursiveness kicked up in our minds, like the dust around Charlie Brown's friend, Pig-Pen. If we want to be happy, we've got to settle that dust down. Interestingly, when we are able to sit with our minds in a more spacious way, the mind tends to settle quite well on its own. Last week's retreat provided the time and space to calm down and gain insight. It was like an experience of gentle "mind exfoliation," sloughing off old, unneeded cells in much the same way our skin naturally does. Wouldn't it be beneficial, now and then, to exfoliate our minds, too? Exfoliate and then moisturize. That is the inner beauty regime a multi-day silent retreat can offer. I recommend it to anyone wanting a reboot, in need of renewal, and open to relaxing into an exploration of the only life we've got.
Along with Jon Kabat-Zinn's classics -- Full Catastrophe Living, and Wherever You Go, There You Are -- the other book on the reading list was Natural Wakefulness, Discovering the Wisdom We Were Born With, by Gaylon Ferguson. I pulled these phrases from his book as my personal Cliff Notes for the retreat, to act as a reminder of what I learned there. May they help maintain clarity and take the place of future confusion.
Mindfulness Meditation
First there is inborn, natural alertness.
Panicky, racy thoughts set in.
Willingness to experience this.
Bravery is found in the mindfulness practice,
Strengthening courage: our ability to stay with ourselves, and our experience, even when it is uncomfortable.
Choiceless awareness
Welcomes whatever arises.
Allowing whatever comes to mind to come, and whatever goes to go.
It includes everything.
It is surprisingly rejuvenating to cultivate periods of silence in our lives. It is a gift we can give ourselves. Whether on longer retreats or in short daily practices, sitting in silence is nurturing for the body and mind, and the whole of our being. "The answers you seek never come when the mind is busy, they come when the mind is still..." Our innate intelligence and skillful means are found in this quiet stillness.

Easy to install and use. Enables remote TV viewing and scheduling. Lets you access media files over the Internet.
Recorded programs a bit fuzzy. Remote DVD playback not supported.
Bottom Line
If you want to turn your PC into a full-featured media center, SageTV Media Center V5 provides an intuitive MCE-style front end that lets you easily manage all of your multimedia files.
SageTV Media Center Version 5 ($79.95 direct) helps you turn your existing PC into a full-blown media center without having to upgrade your OS. More than just a DVR (digital video recorder), SageTV is a software app that provides an intuitive interface, similar to Microsoft's Windows Media Center Edition (MCE). It makes it easy to schedule and record your favorite TV programs and access your photos, music, and other multimedia files from within a single application. And because SageTV records live TV to your hard drive, you can pause, fast-forward, and rewind programs, and skip through commercials just as you can with TiVo.
Unlike MCE, you can install SageTV on systems running Windows versions from 98 SE on up, including the much-maligned Windows Me. In order to watch and record TV programs, your system (the host) must have at least one supported TV tuner installed (more than 30 cards are supported). Alternately, you can order one of SageTV's Media Center In-a-Box bundles, which offer a choice of single ($144.95) or dual ($209.95) PCI tuner cards to install in your system. If you want to watch one channel while recording another or schedule two separate recording at the same time, you'll need a dual-tuner configuration.
Setup and installation are straightforward, thanks to a series of wizards that automatically configure the software after detecting your hardware and existing media files. During setup, you'll be asked to choose your cable or satellite TV service provider so SageTV can download your Integrated Programming Guide. This lets you view two weeks of TV listings and allows you to schedule recordings by clicking on a particular listing.
The menu system is pretty self-explanatory. The SageTV Recordings screen shows you a list of all TV recordings stored on your system, including information such as date, time, and channel. Recordings are listed alphabetically, by category, or by the original airdate.
The Watch Live TV screen displays the current TV channel you're tuned to. Upon entering Live TV, a description of the show, including the title, plot, and host or star, is displayed for several seconds, along with a set of player controls and a recording-time status bar, all of which can be invoked by clicking the left mouse button. Right-clicking the mouse brings up a menu where you can toggle to full-screen mode, change the aspect ratio, stop and start playback, enter the program guide, or return to the main menu.
Recordings can be scheduled via the Program Guide or by using the Schedule Recordings option, which provides several ways of managing your recordings. You can search for programs by title, person, or category. For example, when I searched for "Martin Scorsese" I turned up listings for Goodfellas, Gangs of New York, and Cape Fear. It also brought up Shark Tale, in which Scorsese had a voice part. The Favorites Manager utility lets you create a list of shows to be recorded by title, actor, or category, and you can specify first-run showings and/or reruns. You can opt to keep things simple and create timed recordings by selecting a channel, recording date, and start/stop times.
In addition to its TV capabilities, SageTV contains a music player, a DVD player, and a photo viewer, all of which are controlled through the Media Center menu page. The music Playlist Manager lets you choose and create playlists from your collection of tunes, and you can perform a search by album, artist, or song title. There is currently no support for AAC files, but the folks at SageTV tell me they are working on that for a future revision.
Digital photos can be viewed individually or in a slide show and can be sorted by date or file name. The DVD application provides the usual complement of player controls, including fast forward and chapter skip, subtitles, and subtitle language selection. The Video Library contains listings of all video files stored on your hard drive, and the player supports most video formats, including MPEG, AVI, DivX, and TiVo files.
New to this version of SageTV is support for place shifting, a concept made popular by Sling Media's Slingbox. With the optional SageTV Placeshifter ($29.95 per license) you can access and control the SageTV application and all of the digital media stored on your host system from a remote PC via the Internet. That means you can watch live TV on your laptop without the need for an additional tuner card, watch recorded programs or video files stored on the host system, and schedule TV recordings, all from a remote location. Unfortunately, you cannot access the host's DVD player, so sharing DVD movies is not possible. Each remote Placeshifter system requires a separate license and uses a unique Locator ID to connect to the host. Of course, you'll also have to leave both the host system and SageTV up and running.
When I was testing place shifting over my local network, the remote picture was not as crisp as I would have liked, and the video was choppy from time to time. Still, the overall viewing experience was good, and once I got used to the background artifacts, I hardly noticed them. Music files loaded quickly and played smoothly, but large JPEG images took a few seconds to load.
Conversely, while attached to a SageTV demo server located in Monterey, California, live TV was significantly fuzzier and choppier than on my local tests, and it took up to 10 seconds to load certain photo images. But music playback was, again, just fine.
You can enjoy the benefits of SageTV in your living room without a PC by using the optional SageTV Media Extender ($109.95). The Media Extender, which is actually a Hauppauge Computer Works MediaMVP box, requires an Ethernet connection to bring recorded programs, pictures, music, and the SageTV interface to your TV. As of this writing, however, it must use a wired connection (a wireless 802.11 version is due out shortly). The extender comes with a set of A/V cables for stereo audio and composite video connections, a Hauppauge remote control, and a 5-foot Ethernet cable. There is an S-Video out connector, but you'll have to supply your own cable.
The Media Extender worked flawlessly for me, but as with the Placeshifter, you cannot play DVDs from the host machine. However, live TV and recorded programs looked great on my living room TV, and the sound and video synced up nicely. By plugging in the audio cables to my A/V receiver I could access playlists and play music stored on the PC through my main entertainment center sound system.
SageTV V5.0 is a good alternative to Microsoft MCE as a media center front end, and it is flexible enough to work on nearly every version of Windows. Although the image quality running on a remote place-shifter system is dependent on your available bandwidth, you should have no problem running it on a local network.

They can be found in rinks, fields, and courts; on benches, in the bleachers, at the pool or the neighbourhood community meeting. They are volunteers. And although most are content to work behind the scenes for their team, club or cause, this year, during volunteer appreciation week in April, they will get the spotlight. "We want to celebrate Volunteer Week by recognizing the contributions and achievements of sport, recreation and community volunteers of the City of Saint John," says Councilor Gary Sullivan, who chairs the 2011 Volunteer Appreciation Committee. Sullivan, a known sports enthusiast, explains the idea came to him from witnessing the time and effort his son's hockey coach puts into the team. Councillor Joe Mott, who also served on the City committee for the awards when they ran in the 80's, points out that nominees could be a league's volunteer administrator, a team coach, a player, parent or fan. Or it could be the volunteer community gardener, the senior who organizes recreational activities for their club, or the voice behind a neighbourhood improvement initiative. "Our goal is to honour those who donate their time to improving the quality of life and well-being of citizens, says Mott, no matter what role they may serve in their organization." The 2011 Volunteer Appreciation Awards will recognize individual efforts in four categories as well as a company who supports a sport, recreation or community service: (1) outstanding volunteer contribution in a sport or recreation organization; (2) outstanding volunteer contribution to a community development initiative; (3) fundraiser of the year: sport & recreation; (4) fundraiser of the year – neighbourhood & community development; (5) corporate sponsor award. Nomination forms must be submitted to the Leisure Services Department by March 16, 2011 at 4:00 p.m. to be considered. More information is available online at www.saintjohn.ca/volunteers or by calling 658-2908.

Timberline's Mission is to create "Images that Endure."
At Timberline I seek to help people and businesses create compelling stories. One of the ways I do that is through a personalized, story-based approach to Photography in the search for "Images that Endure." Please browse through the galleries below to get an idea of the types of Photography Services that Timberline can provide and then contact me to set up a time that we can talk about your photography needs.
All photography by Hans Damkoehler of Timberline, Ltd.
On location or in the studio, I'm passionate about creating a photograph that captures the essence of a personality.
Does your family, club, or business need an event captured? Timberline's documentary approach will capture its very essence.
There's always something that "disturbs the peace" while outdoors, yet enhances it at the same time.

Is your band, salon, or company ready to take the next step? If so, let's create a stunning group shot that shows you mean business!
When I am not photographing people or running a video production I find peace outdoors, and I can't help to but capture it along the way.
Whether it be vibrant colors, a sign, a face that is not what it seems, or just the out of place, if it captures my eye I must capture it.

More letters on Donald Trump, gun violence, state legislature, lying and Lt. Gov. Dan Forest
Letters that got overrun by other issues before they could see print:
More time for Trump gaffes
Regarding the Aug. 10 news article "Some hear threat in Trump's remark's": While the latest gaffe from Donald Trump, the slightly fuzzy challenge to Second Amendment people over the presidential job of judge appointment, is something he is actively backing away from, we should learn not to be too surprised by the variety and depth of his ability to talk his way into crazy situations.
Get used to it. Before the November election, he will have plenty of time to give us a lot more comments that display his inappropriateness to be the nation's leader.
Plus, the NRA now has TV ads criticizing Hillary Clinton's armed security while hinting that she will gut the Second Amendment. After Trump's shout-out to the gun-rights folks, she needs extra security.
Also does Trump know that any judicial nominations need congressional approval, which has been hard to come by lately? If he gets the top job, might be hard for him, too. Wonder how he would react to that?
Deborah Brogden
Memorialize gun violence victims
The current carnage of gun-related deaths continues to terrorize America. No responsible leader or organization is aggressively advancing a coherent plan to curb the deadly violence. The president and Congress seem resigned to wait out the impending election before once again deferring to the NRA on gun death prevention.
In our society, we build conspicuous memorials and monuments to our dead citizens who perished in a common tragedy. Such commemorative sites exist for 9/11 , Oklahoma City and even such a contentious theater as Vietnam.
Why not a memorial site in Washington on the Mall to remember all of the victims of gun violence? Their numbers are neverending, and we, as a nation, have clearly made a conscious choice to accept gun killing as a normal, acceptable staple of American society.
The establishment of of a "National Memorial To The Victims Of Gun Violence" would be in keeping with our longstanding tradition of honoring our dead who perished in a common tragedy.
However, it might just also spur us all to encourage our national leaders to finally make a concerted move to combat these deaths, which constitute a major public health problem for all of us.
William C. Crawford
Delusional legislators
As a psychologist, I am concerned about the mental health of many of our state legislators.
It appears that they have had hallucinations or delusions regarding two phenomena: men entering women's bathrooms and voter fraud. Federal court ruled that there was no evidence of either problem, yet a majority of our legislators thought those were serious enough problems to require legislative remedy.
Certainly hallucinations and delusions can be contagious to some extent. For example, some people can be convinced that a dead person has appeared at a seance or that humans and dinosaurs lived at the same time; but for a whole majority of the state legislators to be convinced enough of the existence of voter fraud or men entering women's bathrooms to pass laws based on such faulty information is disturbing!
I wonder if some cognitive behavior therapy isn't in order.
Robert P. Hawkins
A new national pastime
Lying is being given a bad name. What happened to the days when lying was presidential?
"Read my lips; no new taxes." "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky." "Iraq has weapons of mass destruction." "Of course the $400 million wasn't a ransom payment." "I never sent or received classified emails on my unsecured server." "I'm sorry if my comments about Mexicans being rapists, Muslims being terrorists or a dead soldier's mother being subservient, offended anyone."
Those lies required professional collaboration and planning. Those lies will "live in infamy." At some point, lying became implausible.
"Of course I hit 73 home runs without human growth hormones." "Of course I won seven straight Tour de Frances without doping." "Of course sex with those 57 drug-impaired women was consensual."
No one believed them. But everyone wanted to. So everyone pretended to. Now, pervasive lying is reflexive. Subconscious. Even unconscious.
"I was robbed by cops who put a gun to my forehead." Ryan Lochte wins "the gold" for turning an idiotic incident into an international issue. A personal worst for him, I hope.
If lying is to become our national pastime, let's put some effort into them.
Bill Massey
Forest the demagogue
Regarding the Aug. 7 news article " Forest hopes grassroots style lifts him to re-election, higher office" on Lt. Gov. Dan Forest's campaign bus: Forest represents the worst kind of demagogue politics. He has no ideas other than to divide and alienate North Carolinians.
His insulting speech regarding the president of the United States bordered on slander. He parrots right-wing talking points intended to inflame his right-wing base, purporting concern over children to explain his support for House Bill 2 (which were rated "False" by Politifact) as just one example.
If Forest supports children, he would urge the legislature to expand Medicaid and fully fund the public school system, instead of spending millions of North Carolina tax dollars to implement and defend unconstitutional laws.
In your article, Forest admitted he is using his campaign bus as a stunt to prepare for his 2020 run for governor. Does he have nothing better to do? How much of our tax dollars are going to support his multi-year campaign?
Assuming he defeats Linda Coleman (which is a big assumption), we can expect four more years of his hurtful, demeaning and insulting rhetoric.
Laurie McDowell
Early morning surgery
Regarding the Aug. 6 news article " Cary dentist's license revoked after patient dies": The most amazing part was the fact that the dentist had nine surgeries scheduled before his 10 a.m. appointment that resulted in the complications for his patient.
Equally amazing was the fact that there was no mention of where he performed the surgeries.
Where in the world is it considered normal to perform nine surgeries before 10 a.m.? Kudos to the administration of whichever hospital or clinic that allowed a dentist to do this.

Song info
"Turn Up" Videos
[Verse 1 - Ace Hood]
They told me "Where you getting money? Boy them niggas hate"
Taught to trust nobody other than my .38
Fuck a nigga, petty weight
It's just me and all this money I'll be okay
Hustle hard, each and every day
Thinking of a master plan, accumulating cake
Very rapid pace, motherfucker bang
IRS be watching, stash it in the safe
Never trust a nigga, even in his face
Catch him stealing from me, that's another case
Prices on your head, show up to your weight
Cold blooded killer, one more to the face
Don't nobody side, fuck who got away
Happy Meal clips, have a nice day
Money is the motive, nothing mediocre
Keep that pussy popping, like a canned soda
Let her ride the dick, come and be my chauffeur
Heavy money piles, I need a bulldozer
So keep away the hate, I can't stand the odor
I'm just getting started, Indy try and told them
[Chorus - Ace Hood]
They told me "Were you getting money? Boy them niggas hate"
Me and Ballgreezy get this shit by any way
Real niggas, fuck with us
We'll be bucking in this bitch until they come get us
Turn up
Turn up
Turn up
Turn up
Turn up
Turn up
I wish a nigga would
Turn up
Turn up
Turn up
Turn up
Turn up
Turn up
The whole hood want him
[Verse 2 - Ballgreezy]
Fuck the other side, bitch I'm going ham
Pocket full of bands, so rock your head, yeah!
Coconut, and it taste good, Ballgreezy and Ace Hood
Big pistols, and blowing reefer
Up in this bitch, because my face good
Me and my niggas make movies
Going down about my foolish
Hell naw, you can't hit the weed
Or make the drink, bitch keep it moving
Around here, it's G-code
Ask around, the streets know
Love fucking them freak hoes
With a fat ass and a deep throat
My outfit, is so shaw
My shoe game, is so hard
Stomp with the groupies
Sitting nigga that's your hoe job
The music all the way turned up
Rosay getting poured up
My cellphone keep blowing up
By the bad bitch that I'm going to fuck
My shades on, and they real dawg
My ice shining real hard
Niggas acting real hard, that beef shit, and we'll solve
Pop up with that loose shit, thinking that I ain't going to do shit
Thinking I ain't going to shoot shit
Won't give a fuck about who hit
[Verse 3 - Ace Hood]
Okay, I'm gone off of tequila
Hopping out of that Regal
24's on my whip
Toasting my neck colder than freezers
I'm turned up with my top down
Bad bitch and she turn around
Ass fat and I dick her down
Fuck her free like I'm sights or sounds
And bitch I'm heavy balling
Nicknamed Mister Spalding
Momma told me kill them, dead man walking
Riding with that reefer, rip through any carcass
It's We the Best forever, bitch I'm just now getting started
Hold up

Barn style doors are enjoying a surge of popularity these days. They are not only versatile but provide privacy in a unique manner that befits any style decor.
Barn doors can be used to break up or divide a large open space in a loft or over-sized room. They lie flush with the wall and can slide to the right or left, making placement decisions much easier. They are available in any material or style you desire including sleek metal doors for a contemporary space or rustic wooden doors for that mountain lodge project.
Barn door hardware is as varied as the doors themselves. A large pull is most often used in order to handle such a large door. Any of the custom door handles we offer would work beautifully, or you can have custom barn door handles made for your hospitality, hotel or spa project.
The cylindral pull from our Morphic Collection is shown cast in sturdy and durable stainless steel but your bespoke items can also be cast in oil rubbed bronze or feature a polished or brushed finish. We present it here on double entry doors but it will work equally as well on a barn door installment.
The scroll design door handle from the same collection will add a bit of flair to your barn doors.
The pull from our Grapevine collection will enhance barn doors installed as an entry to a hotel spa, private wine cellar or restaurant. This pull is heavily detailed and cast in bronze for a sophisticated yet rustic look.
Have you installed barn doors in a recent project?
To view our entire collection of architectural hardware, please visit our site at www.martinpierce.com.
Designers can visit the showroom located at:
5433 W Washington Blvd.

About America Will Be
AMERICA WILL BE is a film project documenting how organizers across the country are building the Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival to help us become the nation we've not yet been. The project emerged out of 15 years of media advocacy and organizing together with media makers across the United States. It is led by filmmaker Dara Kell, with the support of Adam Barnes and Charon Hribar of the Kairos Center. We see this as an open-ended project that we hope will continue to evolve as the conditions of poverty and climate change demand new, innovative forms of organizing.
About the Kairos Center
The Kairos Center works to support the emergence of a global poor people's movement to end poverty, drawing on the values of religions and human rights.https://kairoscenter.org/

I have a nice zoom lens in my somewhat modest collection - a Canon 70-200 f/4L IS, which I sometimes use to shoot wildlife and portraits. However, for this weekend's impending super moon, I wanted something with a little more kick. So I went over to Adorama's rental center and picked up the Canon 100-400 f/4.5-5.6 L IS. I've never shot with a lens this big, so I decided to do a few test shots from my rooftop in Brooklyn.
The ESB is about 6.7 miles from my house, as the crow flies. Here's what that shot looked like on the LCD of my Canon 7D:
Here are a few more shots, just for fun.
The setup:
And here's a practice shot of the moon. I think it's a nice shot, but my roof being the highest point in the immediate surrounding area, there's nothing around to give it context. I'll try to pick a different vantage point tonight.

Notable Cases and Results:
Sutkiewicz v. Monroe County Sheriff et al, 110 F.3d 352, 361 (6th Cir. 1997) - Plaintiff filed a Section 1983 alleging defendants violated his constitutional rights, maliciously prosecuted him and falsely imprisoned him for ten years on a murder he did not commit. Plaintiff was granted a new trial on appeal when the court held that the trial court committed reversible error when it excluded probative audiotapes of an alleged confession which had the possible effect of negating the probable cause determination. "Because we find the tapes relevant, due to the possible negating effect they may have on the probable cause determination, we hold that the order of the trial court excluding the audio tapes and denying Sutkiewicz's motion for a new trial is erroneous and inconsistent with substantial justice."

How to Help a Loved One Through Surgery
No matter how routine a procedure may be, surgery is never fun. Whether your loved one is undergoing an elective procedure or emergency surgery, the experience can be just as stressful for you as for them. Here are some steps you can take to support your loved one through all stages of the surgical process.
Pre-Surgery Care and Support
The most important step you can take when it comes to supporting a loved one who is preparing to go through surgery is to understand the procedure yourself. If you will be providing post-operative care for the patient, ask if he or she wants you to go with them to their surgical consultation so you can learn the proper care procedures. Aftercare instructions should also be provided in paper format, so both the patient and the caregiver can act with confidence.
Emotional support is also an important component. When showing your support, remember to consider the needs of the patient. Some people are extroverted and feel most supported when surrounded by friends and loved ones with words of encouragement. Others don't like to have a "big fuss" made over the procedure. If you're the type to worry, remember not to pile your concerns on top of what the patient is already going through. If you have been asked to attend a consultation, there is a time and a place to ask questions and voice concerns you have, but it is important not to cause more stress for the person who is having surgery by talking about potential complications leading up to the procedure.
If you have agreed to help the patient organize his or her pre-surgical errands and tasks, it helps to create a list or download a scheduling or list-making app like Errands or Wunderlist. Beginning preparations a week in advance or more can dramatically reduce the stress for you and the patient. There is nothing more stressful than staying up late the night of surgery running errands and gathering supplies you will need in the days and weeks to come. Some surgeries take weeks or even months to recover from, so it helps to gather food supplies and take care of any housework the patient would normally be responsible for. Many surgeons require special preparatory cleansing the night before, so it is important to follow any provided instructions to a T. For example, patients are commonly required to purchase a special cleansing soap to use the night before and the morning of surgery. Some surgeries require the patient to forego deoderant prior to surgery. All general anesthesia patients are required to fast from food or drink for a given period of time, so not eating in front of a fasting patient is a basic (yet often ignored!) form of support.
Here are some common items your loved one may need before surgery:
- Prescription medications (Some doctors require medication to be taken before surgery while others require a discontinuation, depending on the procedure and patient)
- Special cleansing soaps/washes/solutions
- Food and water
- Special equipment (Compression socks, ice packs, gauze, etc., depending on the type of procedure)
- Identification and insurance documentation
- Comfortable clothing
During the Surgery
The knowledge that someone who cares about you will be waiting when you get out of surgery is a source of comfort in itself. Many modern surgical waiting rooms post surgical progress on the screen while you are waiting for a patient in surgery, providing you with the information you need to set your nerves at rest. If the patient has asked you to do so and you have internet access, you can use this time to update friends and family.
After the Surgery
In most cases, patients who are recovering from surgery will be unable to return home. If your loved one is kept in the hospital overnight for monitoring, you can of course show your support by bringing flowers, a gift or simply good cheer! Again, what is supportive for one person could be a nightmare for another. Some people like to be greeted by droves of visitors after waking up from anesthesia, while others prefer to have some time alone to recover.
Once it is time to drive the patient home, be sure to remain with them until the effects of the anesthesia and any other drugs they took at the surgical center have worn off. Remind the patient of his or her physician's instructions about eating and drinking after a procedure. Some people are nauseous after anesthesia, while some dental procedures require that patients avoid eating certain foods or at all for a given length of time after surgery.
Surgery is a stressful experience, and sometimes even the most basic steps, such as having food prepared or remembering to take important medication, can slip your mind before a procedure. Having a compassionate person there to help before, during or after surgery can make recovery a much easier process.

This year has been a mixed bag, nevertheless a very enjoyable & enriching one.
One of the highlights has been starting my blog. What started out to be a journal of my creative musings while I experienced the various challenges & rewards of motherhood, has now become an integral part of my life.
*that part of my life where those few hours of indulgence in cyberspace keeps me creatively motivated through the day
* that part of my life where I share ideas & get inspired by interesting people from around the world.
* that part of my life where I discovered & fell in love with Flickr.
* that part of my life where I learnt that even the mundane details of everyday life is interesting & I am not the only one in the world who thinks so.
On that colourful note let me say goodbye to all the readers of my blog. We are off to 'the land of temples' for our holidays!
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
See you next year...!

You won't go hungry in Cubbon Park.
Cubbon Park, apart from being one of the city's main tourist attractions, is also a great place to unwind, breathe in some fresh air and just do nothing at all.
If you are not finicky about your food, then you could check out some (healthy) street food. Yes, some fruit salad, roasted corn and some spiced puffed rice. Very colourful & interesting.

Our Christmas Tree!
Here is our cute faux christmas tree which we have been putting up every year since Mallika's birth.
We decided that we would celebrate most of the Indian festivals and some from around the world too, so that Mallika is aware of the various festivals and their significance.
I am glad it paid off... here she is creatively contributing to the christmas festivities! Here is her version of the christmas tree and snowfall on the tree from the mountains.

Dokra Art.
If you were wondering about the lovely sun-pendant in brass, it is called Dokra Art. It is made by folk craftsmen from parts of Orissa, Madhya Pradesh & Bengal.
Dokra Art involves making simple folk-style figures of owls, horses, Gods & Goddesses using clay, wax and brass metal. This owl is such a cutie!

Earrings Galore!
Come December and you'll find craft exhibitions, festivals, cultural programmes and winter sale all round the city.
Last week I visited one such exhibition held by Gujarat Emporium. I found myself surrounded by amazing arts and crafts of India, especially earrings in various styles and materials.
I was especially drawn towards these very interesting earrings made out of silken thread (for just Rs.30 or $ 0.67) and my all-time favourite silver earrings with precious stones.
Check it out!

Helpage India.
I decided to check out some cards for christmas & new year, so I headed straight to Gangarams. Gangarams is actually a bookstore but they have a floor dedicated to cards & stationary.
They stock cards from various organisations like Unicef, Cry, Helpage India and many more. This year I picked up assorted cards from Helpage India. Lovely packaging & great cards for a good cause.
