Facebook has a new way to make money off of your data—and, potentially, to learn more about you than it ever could before. If you're a Facebook user, the company's machines already know all the things you've explicitly told Facebook over the years, like your name, age, email address, friends,...

In March 2011 Jake Price, a freelance producer for the BBC, journeyed to Tohoku, Japan to document the devastation left in the wake of the Pacific tsunami. The result of his trip is evident in his powerful and beautiful immersive web documentary, "Unknown Spring," which was awarded the World Press Photo Multimedia Awards...'
Art Jones's curator insight, September 28, 7:58 PM
Jake and his collaborators told this story using many different channels which provides a rich and colorful tapestry that became the fabric of this award winning documentary.
Martin (Marty) Smith's curator insight, October 1, 2:50 PM
Agree with the [url=/u/385475 x-already-notified=1]Art Jones[/url] note. The mashup of many channels into an immersive environment as illustrated by Unknown Spring is a fascinating and a sign of things to come. The execution on my mac was a tad bumpy, but the convergence of media, narration, navigation, image and "hero's journey" storytelling is powerful.
Over the past few years, transmedia storytelling has become a hot buzzword in Hollywood and Madison Avenue alike. But many using the term don't really...
When Pearce was named as the head of open source at Facebook, charged with overseeing the vast collection of software the company shares with the rest of the world, he felt that something was missing. "When I took over the Facebook open source portfolio, I was waiting for the invite," he says. "I was like: 'Is someone going to invite me to the open source guild?'"

Many entrepreneurs are using crowdfunding campaigns to raise the profile of their nascent businesses and products, while also raising funds. But the plight of Radiate Athletics and its workout shirts that change color illustrates the pitfalls of a successful fundraising campaign.
"Crowdfunding campaigns can help turn creators' dreams into reality -- unless backers hand over the money, just to watch everything fall apart. Now Kickstarter is trying to codify the current swampy situation around projects canceled after creators have the cash in hand. Kickstarter's new policies mandate that creators complete their projects, or at least make their best effort to bring the project to the "best possible conclusion for backers." If creators don't make good on the promises made in their campaigns, they must explain what happened, return any unused funds, and could face potential legal action from backers...."

Tom Perlmutter, Reflections on the Evolving State of the Interactive Documentary | Sunny Side June 2014
3. Creating an integrated whole?
I also found that many of the projects still conceived transmedia in terms of the material to which you could give access to an audience—photos, sound bites, side narratives and so on. Everyone talks of creating an integrated whole but it is not truly that in its heart. There is still the strong impulse that documentarians have: "I have all this material that won't fit in a film and wouldn't it be wonderful to use." The projects are more sophisticated in their use of the material but there is still a ways to go to live fully within the form itself....

SLJ explores how transmedia storytelling, or telling a story across media platforms, has cracked open possibilities for educators to teach and assess, as well as opportunities for students to learn.

"Neal Stephenson, the celebrated author of sci-fi classics Snow Crash and Cryptonomicon, began working on a sword-fighting video game called Clang in 2012 and raised $526,000 on Kickstarter.

for a revolution." One year ago, Stephenson announced that they had burned through the half-million, asked people to be "patient," and said they were looking for extra money. And on Sept. 18, a year after that last update, Stephenson announced to his backers that the project was dead in the water...."
The 9-hour event series is based on King's novel about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy called 11/22/63.

"The thriller is about a high school English teacher who travels back in time to prevent the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. It's produced by J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot Productions (Person of Interest, Fringe, Lost) and Warner Bros. Television.
The direct-to-series order was announced Monday by Craig Erwich, SVP and head of content, who joined Hulu in March. While the streaming service will be the U.S. home for 11/22/63, Warner Bros. Worldwide Television Distribution will distribute the series globally. This is the first collaboration between Hulu and WBTV...."

siobhan-o-flynn's insight:
'The most impressive of the group is probably also the least game-like of them. It's Epic Zen Garden, the chill-out-and-watch-butterflies app that was demoed at WWDC earlier this year. There are cherry blossoms to send floating about, koi to hassle in a pond, and sand to rake — it's all very relaxing and impressive, but it's definitely not much more than a tech demo. Macrumors reminds us that if you want to know more about how it works, you should check out Unreal's video from last June....'
Kids love the world-famous user-generated video game. Rovio/Angry Birds' Dorra explains how Minecraft can inspire TV too
siobhan-o-flynn's insight:
very cool:
"While the game is the most important part of the business model for developer Mojang, and brand extensions like the LEGO Minecraft kits are natural steps, these traditional tools could never have made the game the blockbuster it now is. It is the combination of the 'Creative Mode', coupled with the reach of YouTube, that have created a whole new set of big time players in the kids video market (Stampy Longnose, who is pictured above, and whose creator spoke at last April's MIP Digital Fronts, has 150m monthly views). Their massive reach has in turn catapulted Minecraft onto the centre stage of kids' entertainment today.
An important thing to note here is that Mojang has had no way of influencing the kinds of things people do with the platform they are provided through Minecraft. And this is a really good thing, since if they tried they'd risk alienating their greatest evangelists. It would also make no sense for Mojang to try and create a YouTuber personality, since the creativity, random ideas andauthenticity of the massive fan base far outweigh any company's creative resources..."
Serious Games: Changing the World with Transmedia | International Documentary Association [Flashback 2011]
"The eighth annual Games for Change symposium, conducted in New York City, June 20-22 at New York University's Skirball Center, showcased the major players and initiatives of the emerging social impact gaming movement. An authentic and functional execution of media convergence, social impact gaming fuses gaming, online interactivity and social media to achieve positive real world outcomes; so naturally, Games for Change included a keynote address from former US Vice President Al Gore. Asi Burak, creator of the groundbreaking game Peacemaker and co-president of Games for Change with Michelle Byrd, maintains, "Featuring Vice President Al Gore as the festival's keynote set the tone that games are mainstream and that games for social change and learning make all the sense in the world." Gore clearly concurred, observing that "People need play, and the potential of gaming combined with social interchange media is huge. The question is, Can games change unsatisfying reality?""

Tighter budgets could be a catalyst for rethinking how government operates, says OMB's Kathryn Stack.
GAO says suspension and debarment actions have more than doubled over the past four years.
Without executive direction from the federal CIO, agencies will have difficulty realizing cost savings through enterprise-wide software license management, says a new report.
The bill is aimed at giving the Department of Homeland Security more flexibility in hiring cybersecurity specialists.
As agency budgets continue to flatline, federal human resources executives see a need to transform the way the government recruits, hires, trains and rewards employees.
ICS-CERT typically does not provide much detail when reporting incursions, but it made an exception for two recent cases to highlight the dangers.
As Treasury moves to implement the Data Act, potential costs and agency buy-in remain concerns.
Vets need jobs. Everybody needs cyber-specialists. And situational awareness could be the thread to connect the two.
Federal agencies can't operate like Silicon Valley startups, but even the largest organization can manage for great innovation.
An industry analyst said the agency virtually guaranteed protests by using written debriefings instead of face-to-face meetings with unsuccessful vendors.
The lack of a financial management system for HealthCare.gov continues to trouble oversight agencies and insurance carriers.
When implementing agile development, agencies should focus on results rather than how to get there, said Shawn Kingsberry, CIO of the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board.

Modern Fit Paseo Traveler Roll-Up Pants 6 6
Perfect travel pants This is my third pair of these pants. I was thrilled to be able to buy them on sale. They are comfortable, wash well in the sink and dry overnight. They are fairly wrinkle free, but after repeated washing the fabric does become softer and more apt to wrinkle. They're still very presentable without pressing, however. The roll-up legs makes them versatile, and the feature is subtle so they don't scream "trail pants." August 20, 2013
These are the most comfortable pants I have. They can go from casual to dressed up and still look great plus you can roll them up for capris. October 18, 2013
Great for travel These pants fit very well, look great & are totally comfortable. Wore them in the Galapagos. Used them with the legs rolled up & there are buttons to hold the cuffs in place if you do so. There were a couple of snags in the fabric however. :-( January 28, 2014
Perfect travel pants. Except for having to get the pants hemmed about two inches they are perfect. January 29, 2014
They fit, they actually fit!!!!! Finally, travel-type roll-up pants that don't ride too low in the waist or gap in the back! I haven't washed them yet to see how they fare, but I'm assuming that they'll shrink a tiny bit like similar pants I have, which will be perfect. (So before washing they are a tiny bit larger/looser than expected, but I'm assuming that they will shrink to a perfect fit). August 20, 2013
Waist is ridiculous The waist on these pants is about 6 inches too big! The rest of the pants fit fine. I had to return. September 2, 2013

Last week's Monroe College "Female Empowerment" and "Male Empowerment" events designed to motivate high school students to attend college and be productive in life were immensely successful. More than 400 girls and 325 boys from public high schools in NY City and parts of Westchester came to Monroe's campuses to interact with mentors and hear inspiring speeches.
At the Female Empowerment Event held on Wednesday, April 18 in the Monroe Athletic Complex (MAC) on the New Rochelle campus, the keynote address was by Sukanya Krishnan, news anchor at WPIX channel 11. David C. Banks, founder of the Eagle Academies was the keynote speaker at the Male Empowerment Event, which was held on Thursday, April 19 in King Hall on the Bronx campus.
More than one hundred mentors sat at round tables talking with the young people about attending college, setting goals and priorities, time management, and balancing personal, academic, and professional lives. The mentors were college professors, attorneys and law enforcement personnel, business people, doctors, etc.
"It's not often that young people have a chance to interact personally with positive role models," said President Stephen Jerome who spoke at both events. "We believe that regardless of what college a high school student attends, higher education is vital for success. These empowerment events are central to the Monroe College mission and I am proud of our staff and faculty who worked so hard to make them meaningful. I'm also encouraged by the reaction of the attendees, who now have a greater understanding of what it takes to be successful."

You could try something like that.

That's odd - the only way i think of where that could happen is if you have empty objects in your DB - basically all it does is a SELECT * FROM table LIMIT 1 ORDER BY RAND() - so it shouldn't throw up any empty objects.
Re: Get random object

Hmm weird.
The only way I was able to stop it is by checking on the of the numeric fields in that table to make sure it is bigger than zero.
return DataObject::get_one('Tour', 'TourLengthDays>0', false, 'RAND()');
Maybe a blank record in there? I can't find it in the Tours or Tours_Live table.

I'm trying to pull in a random product into the "homepage" only and so far I'm at a loss at where I need to insert the following code:
DataObject::get_one('products', null, false, 'RAND()');
Can you shed some light on how you did yours?
Re: Get random object
2 September 2008 at 4:25pm
In your HomePage.php file under mysite/code (as long as you aren't using the tutorial directory instead)
Make a controller and add a getRandomObject() function like so:
class HomePage_Controller extends Page_Controller {
// Get random object
function getRandomObject() {
return DataObject::get_one('products', null, false, 'RAND()');

A 13-year-old girl from Nicholasville was granted her wish today at the Fayette Mall.
Brianna is battling a life-threatening kidney disease that often leaves her feeling tired.
But today she was all smiles because of the Make-A-Wish Foundation granting her a free shopping spree.
Brianna arrived at the mall in a limo and enjoyed special treatment from some of her favorite stores.
She said she wanted to have an opportunity to relax, spend some time with other girls her age and just escape from the medical battles.

Concrete facts aren't required to manufacture a good story. Legends and hearsay are capable of enduring just fine, often for centuries.
The rich, though not absolute, history of Florida, for example, is being depicted via a series of quilt squares -- 500 to be exact -- made by Volusia County Public Library patrons to commemorate the state's 500 year anniversary.
Not unlike historic events, the squares have been merged into congruity. The result: five quilts that will make their way around the county this year.
From Jan. 9-24, they were on display in the Thomas C. Kelly Administration Building rotunda. Next, the quilts will provide the backdrop for a traveling one-act play, "Ultimate Field Trip," written and directed by Volusia County Library employee Karen Poulsen to commemorate the Viva Florida 500 celebration happening all around Florida this year.
"Viva Florida 500 is a statewide initiative led by the Florida Department of State, under the leadership of Gov. Rick Scott, to highlight the 500 years of historic people, places and events in Florida since the arrival of Juan Ponce de Leon," according to the Viva Florida 500 website.
The initiative will continue through the end of 2013, with many partners planning more than 150 events statewide.
The traveling quilts are the combined efforts of local residents, ranging in age from 6 to 80.
Volusia County Library associate Chelsea Harrison said the library quilt project was the result of a Viva Florida 500 committee brainstorming session. Some of the libraries had programs for children to complete their squares. There also were stations set up at the libraries for adults to work on theirs.
Various media were used to create the individual pictures for each square, Ms. Harrison said. "Some were cross-stitched, and some were painted. Some people took pictures and ironed them on the squares. Some were actually quilted, and some were in pencil and ink. Those came out really neat."
"Some people used stickers. Those aren't holding up so well," Ms. Harrison said.
Sequined flamingos, a nine-year-old girl's magic marker rendering of a Florida Panther and the painted face of an early native settler are a few of the works represented.
A shark, pelican, astronaut, space shuttle, porpoise, hummingbird, surfer, oranges, hibiscus flowers, palm trees -- even the unofficial state menace, the cockroach -- are portrayed in the squares.
After the "Ultimate Field Trip" play's tour through the county, the quilts will be displayed in the Ormond Beach Library in May, but the list of subsequent library locations with corresponding dates for the quilts display has yet to be finalized, Ms. Harrison said.
Five hundred years ago Spanish explorer and conquistador Ponce de Leon led the first European expedition to the shores of Florida, which he named La Florida -- "Land of Flowers." It is reported he and his crew had their first glimpse of the peninsula on April 2, 1513, but there is ongoing dispute among historians as to whether the expedition landed at St. Augustine or in the Volusia harbor now called Ponce de Leon Inlet. Some argue his first approach was even farther south near Melbourne Beach.
Also questionable is that whole Fountain of Youth legend that had northerners arriving en masse at DeLeon Springs during the late 1800s to rejuvenate in temperate waters, naturally infused with soda and sulfur.
As it turns out, those early events only formed the tip of the orange blossom when it comes to Florida's renowned diversity.
Greeks, Spaniards, Cubans, Haitians, Puerto Ricans, South Americans, Native Americans and many others have bestowed cultural riches upon the Sunshine State.
"We're one better than a melting pot. Cultures don't dissolve into one another here in Florida," the Viva Florida 500 website noted. "They remain whole, creating a collage of ethnicity that represents the global community, with special emphasis on tropical latitudes and seaworthy heritage."
Florida has the longest recorded history of any state in the nation, home to Native Americans for at least 12,000 years, according to the website.
If, as Napoleon said, "geography is destiny," this gateway to the United States from the Caribbean and beyond has done its part to shape the nation's present and future.
"The Ultimate Field Trip" dramatic production includes discovery, comedy, romance and poignant scenes. The trip through 500 years of state history begins in the early 1500s and takes the audience on a journey through five centuries, highlighting 10 legends of Florida, according to the Volusia County website.
Touring Production schedule
With the Viva 500 Quilts as a backdrop, the "Ultimate Field Trip" will be performed at several locations in Volusia County:
Ormond Beach Library, 2 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 31.
Deltona Library, 2 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 5.

Summer 2009
Schism and reunification
Illustration: brands
Where there was once discord, there is now harmony, as design zealously embraces the made image. Adrian Shaughnessy analyses 'this new hybrid - type-based yet infused with fluid and expressive qualities'
There was a time when graphic design and illustration used to sleep in the same bed. Look through any design annual from the 1970s and early 80s – Graphis, D&AD, the New York Art Directors – and much of the work on show has drawn imagery as its main ingredient. During the fizzy, go-go 1980s, however, something happened to the relationship between design and illustration. Design was promoted to the front line of commercial life: professionalised and strategised, it took ownership of identity and branding within the corporate world. Not long afterwards designers discovered that cheap technology and reduced repro costs allowed them to use photography where once they might have relied on illustration; they also discovered that new digital tools enabled them to make their own images, collages and visual effects. Illustration, on the other hand, clung onto the notion of autonomy of expression and refused to learn the language of strategy and branding. It was banished to the sofa
At its simplest level, the re-emergence of the designer-illustrator means that the words Graphic Design and Illustration appear side by side more frequently than they once did on the websites and business cards of designers and illustrators. But it has also coincided with a much bigger change within the visual communication landscape. We are seeing the forging of a new expanded definition of illustration. Today, illustration is now any sort of made image – and by 'made' I mean an image that has been created, manipulated, melded or fashioned. It can be virtual or physical; it can be interactive or static; it can be made by a human being or by a computer laden with smart software; it can be model-making; it can be found in three-dimensional environments; it can even be made randomly by processing software. The consequence of all this is that illustration is beginning to catch up with fine art, which long since species-jumped out of the canvas into a new frame-free zone where anything goes. It is hardly surprising that designers – and illustrators – are embracing this new freedom with zeal.
Of course, not all the work produced by design's remarriage to illustration produces meaningful work. Much of what we see falls into the honey-trap of mere prettification and space-filling; often pleasant but rarely engaging. Yet what tends to snag the eye in the visual communication firmament is the work that fuses the precision of graphic design with the floating-world abstraction of the illustrator

My dog went through a destructive phase when we first adopted her, but that had stopped - until now. I'm not positive it is due to the weather but the cold temps and freezing wind have shortened our morning walks and outside time. I try to make sure we play a little more inside but I know its not the same as a nice long walk! I'm keeping my fingers crossed she starts behaving again when left at home once the weather improves.

My dog has recently started eating poop at the dog park! Yuck; I'm at my wits end as to how to get him to leave it alone. As the blog indicates, my dog is also less responsive when I call him away from it and tell him to leave it.

We had heavy snow here in the UK back in November/December. At first my two toys loved it - couldn't wait to rush out and play zoomies, with the snow up to their chests. Then the novelty wore off, and it took some persuasion to get them out at all, especially when it was actually falling. Fortunately toy dogs are comparatively easy to entertain indoors!

Although we haven't had the same snow in southwest Ohio that the East coast has had, Jackson loves when we get fresh stuff. He still has to 'patrol' the yard, so there are nose tracks and he won't come up for air until it is piled to his eyes. Then he'll shake it off and start again.

The thing I hate most about winter (aside from driving on unploughed roads) is standing around in the dog park freezing my toes and ears and nose off while my dog is having the time of her life!!! I do love to see her so happy though. So far I'd have to say that our best outdoor winter adventures has been playtime, just the two of us, in the dog park. She usually ignores me and all the other dogs in the Summer, but she loves playing when it gets colder. But by far, it's still the best to play in the snow with my dog between the waves of other dog park goers.

MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) - The first Wisconsin concealed weapons holder to use his gun to break up an armed robbery is now charged with tax fraud.
37-year-old Nazir Al-Mujaahid of Milwaukee made headlines early last year, when he pulled out a pistol to scare off two men robbing a cashier at an Aldi's grocery store.
Friday morning, Al-Mujaahid appeared in Milwaukee County Circuit Court on charges of theft by fraud, and five counts of making claims to get false income tax credits.
If convicted, he might lose his right to carry a weapon. For now, he's free on a signature bond.
Prosecutors said Al-Mujaahid filed false tax returns on behalf of Damien Sherrer from 2006 through 2011. Sherrer reportedly left the U.S. for Egypt in '06 and never came back.
Prosecutors said Al-Mujaahid placed Sherrer's false tax credits on his debit card, totaling $13,000. The defendant also allegedly claimed Homestead tax benefits on Sherrer's behalf from 2006 to '09. He's also accused of filing fake returns on behalf of four other people.
Al-Mujaahid is quoted as telling authorities he sent some of the tax payments to Sherrer in Egypt because he was, "hurting for money."
In last year's gun incident, Al-Mujaahid used his weapon in a store where signs prohibited people from carrying guns. He was never charged. That incident happened about three months after the state legalized the carrying of concealed weapons to law-abiding citizens with permits.

A Vanderbilt University wide receiver and two California men are jailed in connection to a rape that allegedly occurred on the campus of Vanderbilt University in June.
Receiver Chris Boyd, 21, is accused of taking part in an attempted cover up of the June 23 sexual assault of an unconscious 21-year-old female student in the Gillette House dormitory.
He was indicted Friday on one felony count of being an accessory after the fact.
Boyd surrendered to authorities around 8:45 a.m. Saturday and was released later in the day on $25,000 bond.
His arraignment has been scheduled for Wednesday.
In a statement, Vice Chancellor for Public Affairs Beth Fortune said Boyd has been suspended from the football team pending further review. "All of these allegations, including those brought today, are deeply troubling, and we take them very seriously," the statement read, in part.Miles Finley, 19, of Bermuda Dunes, California, and Joseph Dominick Quinzio, 20, of Palm Desert, California, are each charged with one felony count of tampering with evidence.
They were also indicted Friday.Metro police said Finley and Quinzio, both acquaintances of former football player Brandon Vandenburg, allegedly tampered with electronic evidence involved in the case.
Finley was arrested on Friday by authorities in Riverside County, California.
Quinzio surrendered later that day.
Both men are being held as fugitives wanted by the state of Tennessee.
"As District Attorney [Torry] Johnson and Steve Anderson have said, this case is open and active. We will continue to investigate who may have been involved and who may have had knowledge prior, during and after this alleged sexual assault," police spokesperson Don Aaron said.
He continued, "If new charges need to be brought or further meetings with the grand jury need to take place, they will."Vandenburg and fellow ex-football players Jaborian "Tip" McKenzie, Brandon Banks and Cory Batey each face five counts of aggravated rape and two counts of aggravated sexual battery in the case.
Vandenburg is additionally charged with one count of tampering with evidence and one count of unlawful photography. McKenzie and Banks were arrested and released on bond last weekend.
McKenzie entered a not guilty plea Tuesday.
Batey was released earlier Friday.
Vandenburg remains jailed on a $350,000 bond.
An arraignment for all four men is scheduled for August 21.
The players were dismissed from Vanderbilt's football team June 29. They remain on interim suspension from the university.
Vanderbilt students returning to campus are well aware of the story that has made national headlines beyond the sports world."Its a tragedy, but not representative of this school," said Robert Fay, who said he knows a lot of football players because he plays on the field with the school's band.
"Being in the band, I have a closer relationship with the football team than, like, a lot of other students on campus, and they tell they just want to keep moving forward," he explained.Another band member told News 2 she was glad Vanderbilt took swift action against players who have been charged."We are glad that people who don't deserve to be on the team are not on our team," said Sousaphone player Rebecca Tarby. "We have standards, and I am glad they are being upheld."
After a closed Saturday night scrimmage, Coach James Franklin wanted to focus on his players saying the team "looked good, we are moving forward and carrying on."

Idaho Athletic Director Rob Spear clarified a report Tuesday night that said he was negotiating with the Big Sky Conference to move the Vandals out of the ailing WAC.
Spear said via Twitter:
"Despite reports at this point in time the only conversations with the
Big Sky have centered around a home for our non football sports" - @Rob_Spear
The tweet seemed to clarify a conversation the Big Sky commissioner had with a reporter for The Missoulian newspaper, which revealed that the Big Sky was in negotiations with Idaho.
Previous report:
The Big Sky got a new logo. They tabbed Montana State to finish first in football this season. And now they're hoping they can get Idaho to join the conference.
Fritz Neighbor, a writer for the Missoulian, tweeted that conference commissioner Doug Fullerton is in talks with the Vandals.
"Big Sky commish Fullerton on Idaho Vandals: We're in negotiations with them, there's no doubt about it. #BigSkyFB #Griz" – @Fritz_Neighbor
The Big Sky has shown interest in Idaho since the WAC began falling apart – again – back in May. In reality, it may be Idaho's best of four options. Athletic Director Rob Spear laid out the scenarios in spring:
1. Pursue membership with another FBS conference, such as the Mountain West, Sun Belt, Conference USA or MAC.
2. Place the Idaho football program in an FBS conference and keep other sports within what is left of the Western Athletic Conference.
3. Pursue football independence.
4. Consider dropping to the Football Championship Subdivision and join a conference like the Big Sky.
As of option No. 1, the Sun Belt, led by former WAC commissioner Karl Benson, has already said no to the Vandals. No other conference has come out to express any serious interest.
Option number three is near impossible at best. Go ask BYU how hard independence can be. It's hard. Really hard.
The fourth option, joining the Big Sky, appears to be the Vandals best option. And why not? They once ruled the Big Sky before following in Big Brother's (Boise State) footsteps and jumping up to the big leagues.

3 year calendar
By antiquegurl 77
from Cincinnati,Ohio
Comments about 3 Year Monthly Appointment Calendar:
I use this calendar as I need to write down appointments and to check where a date falls in the week. I have it on a shelf under my computer so it is handy. I had a 2 year one and liked it so well that I am sure the three year one will be better
Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend

"Glad I made the purchase"
By Rhonda/Momma Goose

Bought one for myself and one for my very busy daughter with two active kids. Plenty of writing space and easy to use monthly tabs. I will definetly enjoy using it when January 2013 rolls around.
I love this calendar.
By Cow caller

My first two were gifts and I have been getting them since in the 90'sAs long as I use a calendar I will order these.Good price range.Thanks
Have Used This Calendar for Years
By Judy
from Louisiana
I have been purchasing this calendar for years; can't do without it. Easy to keep up with future scheduling. My only recommendation for Walter Drake is to attach magnetic strips to the back. I attach magnetic strips and keep my calendar on the front of my refrigerator. The 3-year calendar is a bit flimsy when doing this, so you have to make adjustments, but over-all a great calendar for daily use.
Larger daily spaces
By Repeat customer
from Sonora, CA
I wish the daily writing spaces were larger. Make the outside margin smaller, and the top header smaller. Otherwise, I like it.

Perfect for organizing a busy life
By Pat the golfing grandmother
from Buffalo, NY
This is perfect for keeping track of appointments and events during a month. Future commitments are easy to monitor and I don't have to think about replacing the calendar for three years.

Ted Siefer's City Hall: Automatic pay step grenade could be tossed Tuesday night
- - - - - - - - -
The school board held its first meeting Monday under the new rules of order it adopted the week before. The biggest change in the rules was to give the mayor more power to control how meetings are conducted, and on Monday, Mayor Gatsas wasted no time flexing his new muscle.
The board can, and often does, schedule special meetings, but under the existing rules, it could not have public comment during those meetings. So Gatsas exercised his new right as the board's "parliamentarian" to declare that public comment would be permitted at special meetings.
- - - - - - -
In general, Monday's meeting moved at a brisk and productive clip. Still, it offered a reminder why it's a good thing the board has two members - Art Beaudry and Debra Gagnon Langton - who are willing to be its resident boat-rockers.
It wasn't until after the board - invoking as it often does a special clause in the state's open meeting law concerning personnel matters - met in nonpublic session that these matters were ironed out. The executive director will be paid with federal money; the spokeswoman's half-year salary was adjusted; she'll be getting $32,000, as anticipated.
Of all the controversial matters the school board deals with, one wouldn't think that a contest for students to design a new logo for the district would be one them. But there they were on Monday, Beaudry and Langton, pressing the superintendent about why the board wasn't informed about the contest.
- - - - - -
One of the more significant actions the school board took during the public portion of its meeting was to send its wish list of building projects to the aldermen - with an emphasis on wish.
But Chris Stewart, Ward 3, raised an interesting question. While they are the district's responsibility, the school facilities themselves belong to the city. And while the aldermen control the purse strings and have the power to issue with construction bonds, it's the district that has to cover the debt on those bonds.
Perhaps this question will be addressed when aldermen - the body that voted to spend $38 million on a shiny new municipal complex - consider the school board's wish list at their meeting this week.

In its first meeting with new members, the DeKalb County School Board voted to drop a lawsuit against the state.The board voted 9-0 to terminate their involvement in the lawsuit the previous board had filed. The suit challenged Gov. Nathan Deal's authority to remove them from office and appoint the new group of board members."It's just a matter of moving forward, turning their page, moving forward. The litigation itself will continue with the board members who are fighting that battle, but our job is to focus on educating our children," said interim Superintendent Michael Thurmond.The three-hour meeting focused on the business of running a school district. "It feels different in that we're moving forward and we're not dealing with a lot of the negative things that we've had to deal with in the few weeks. It's a joy that we can put children first and move forward," said Board Chair Melvin JohnsonParents who called for the removal of the old board said they see a difference."I think that they've demonstrated in just this one meeting a lot more thought and careful consideration and boardsmanship than I'd seen previously," said Jennifer Hatfield.One of the reason SACS cited when putting the district on probation was the dysfunction of the previous board. Parents and board members hope Wednesday's businesslike meeting is a sign of things to come.

Borderites get back on track with 16-0 win
The Borderites dropped two games, their first league
losses since 2004, in consecutive games last week before
getting back on track against Mt. Baker Tuesday with a
16-0 five inning win.
Against Meridian, who Blaine beat to begin what amounted to a 16-game winning streak in league play, the Trojans got out in front and stayed there to notch a painfully lopsided 10-3 win.
Then last Friday Lynden Christian's Nathan Korthius two-hit the B's and struck out nine as Lynden took a close game 1-0 at the pipe when Brent VanWeerdhuizen scored on a passed ball in the top of the sixth inning. It was the first time in two years that LC has beaten Blaine in baseball.
But all that changed Tuesday as Blaine defeated Mt. Baker 16-0 with a 10-run first inning. Aaron Johnson got six RBIs on two first inning hits, including a three run homer, and Rob Bleecker got both the win to go 4-0 and went 2 for 3 with 2 RBIs. Senior outfielder Matt Gorze also went 2 for 3 with 2 RBIs and Joe Paciorek with 3 for 4 with a double, a home run and 3 RBIs.
The Borderites, now 4-2 in league and 7-5 overall, travel east of the mountains to Brewster on Monday for a doubleheader before returning for more league play beginning a week later on the road against Nooksack. Their next home game is on Wednesday, April 19, when they again face Meridian.
Lady B's battle on
For a team that has every excuse not to win, the Lady
B's have carried themselves with courage and determination
through the first half of the season to a 4-4 (1-3) record
on the strength of Alex Walter's strong right arm,
timely base running and hitting by feisty senior outfielder
Jaclyn McDonald and clutch performances like that of newcomer
Kelly Harbst, a sophomore who's batting .333 and
is tied for the league lead in doubles.
Last week the Borderites dropped a momentum-dominated contest to Mt. Baker 8-1 after getting shellacked with a six-run first inning. But their other two league losses, in consecutive games at Lynden Christian and at the Pipe against Meridian two weeks ago, were decided by just one run each.
More to the point, the Borderites stranded a total of 18 base runners in those two losses. "Timely hitting is the key," said head coach Rob Adams, "as happened for us the next day against Bellingham."
In the non-league match on a cold afternoon out at the Pipe last Friday, Blaine overpowered the AAA school 7-2 behind the pitching of Alex Walter, who already has one no-hitter this year.
Third baseman Valerie Binder went two for three, got two RBI's, scored twice and stole three bases. Senior Krissie Freeman was two for two with one RBI and scored once. Freshman Aerial Miller, another of what Adams calls his "pleasant surprises" that have moved up from either JV ball or middle school, in this case.
"Against Bellingham we got on base early, like Mt. Baker did against us last week, and then followed with a single, a double, another single, a stolen base – it puts the pressure on," said Adams.
Blaine goes up against Lynden Christian at the Pipe on Thursday April 6 at 4:30 p.m. in a crucial contest that also marks the mid-point of the season. They play again at home the next night and then are on the road for two league games before returning home to host the Blaine Invitational tourney on Saturday, April 22.

QUINCY, Wash. -- Child Protective Services took four children into custody after police busted two people for a marijuana grow bust, according to the Grant County Sheriff's Office.
Neighbors alerted police to suspicious activity at the house at #5 B-Street-Northeast in Quincy, which is within 1,000 feet of an elementary school. Their tips led to a six month investigation into Luis Carlos Perez, 26, and Maria Del Carmen Farias, 31.
Narcotics detectives say they made undercover purchases in that time. They finally raided the home Thursday. Detectives allegedly found nearly 60 grams of marijuana, seven marijuana plants, prescription pills and two loaded handguns, along with thousands of dollars.
Investigators seized the evidence and two cars, and dismantled the growing operation.
Perez and Farias were booked into the Grant County Jail for a slew of charges including manufacturing of marijuana with intent to deliver.

Definition of bi- in English:
bi-Syllabification: bi-
(often bin- before a vowel)
combining form
from Latin, earlier dui-, related to Greek di- 'two' and Sanskrit dvi- 'doubly, having two'.
The meaning of bimonthly (and other similar words such as biweekly and biyearly) is ambiguous. Bimonthly, for instance, can mean either 'occurring or produced twice a month' or 'occurring or produced every two months.' So, if an organization holds bimonthly meetings, over the course of a year, will it meet six times or twenty-four times? The only way to avoid this ambiguity is to use alternative expressions like every two months and twice a month. See also biennial (usage).

Declaring LD_PRELOAD system wide for dynamic loading
Dear Fellows;
As being new to linux, i have tried to synamically load a custom library which overrides some system calls like conncet(), socket() etc.... for custom purposes.
It works well, if declaring the environment path LD_PRELOAD and execution of the application to be override are in the same script of perhaps same path as well.
Inshort i am un able to declare the path for dynamic library through LD_PRELOAD system wide, i have tried different ways like saving the LD_PRELOAD path in profile of linux core 9 but it gives error like ..
Unable to load the LD_PRELOAD=./path ...... etc
I would appreciate a concise and swift help, thanking in anticipation.
Although you say:
saving the LD_PRELOAD path in profile of linux core 9
it's not really clear what you mean by that... so, have you tried adding it to /etc/profile, someting like:
export LD_PRELOAD=/my/path/to/hack.so

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Stephanie Moon on The Great British Menu
Anyone who saw The Great British Menu last night would have seen chef Stephanie Moon taking on newcomers Colin McGurran and Charlie Larkin – "I need a good score to get back in the race!" Last night the three chefs from the North East had to impress the judge Nigel Howarth, a previous winner. Stephanie is a big fan of the Big Green Egg and was cooking her dish of rose veal in a Small Egg last night – she smoked the veal for twenty minutes using cherry wood chips, having rubbed the meat in a combination of fresh hissop and lemon thyme. This was then served with oxtail, leak and potato cakes with baby carrots as a garnish.
Nigel Howarth exlaimed "The veal is perfectly cooked – perfectly smoked…". High praise indeed – and many well known chefs are extolling the virtues of smoking food in the Big Green Egg – maintaining that 'Smoking is the new Pepper'. Stephanie added a quirky touch to the presentation of the veal – she had her local blacksmith create a special 'Team GB' branding iron that she heated up and then branded the meat with before she cooked it!
Radio Times: 'Whatever the outcome, there aren't enough female chefs on TV and it's great to see Stephanie Moon return to The Great British Menu'
If you would like to try smoking in your Big Green Egg – check out the Recipes & Tips section on this page and also have a look at how to smoke duck breasts in our instructional recipe video on this website.

A local apartment complex in University City still won't go on the record with WBTV to explain what they're doing in response to complaints about problems with roaches, trash and no water.
We went back to 901 Place Apartments Monday afternoon trying to talk to management.
An assistant manager met us at the front of the leasing office and told us, "I need you to not film me. You're not allowed to be on this property and if you don't step away I'm going to call the police."
It was just last week, Katie Thornton, a student at UNC Charlotte turned to WBTV for help after months of getting nowhere with management.
"We think it's disgusting, it's filthy and for what we pay a month to live here; we deserve better," she said at the time.
She complained of dozens of cigarette butts, shards of glass from a broken beer bottle that litter the property, and roaches -- lots of them.
We sat down with Katie again Monday evening.
"They started singing a little bit of a different tune," she said.
Thornton says the property manager has contacted her but tried to act as if they had no complaints on file. Just last week Katie showed us paperwork detailing the complaints and all the places in her apartment she killed the bugs: her bathroom, near the front door and even her bedroom.
Since then management has offered to treat the apartment for roaches again.
"I think they're starting to understand that I'm not just some dumb, college kid," she said. "I'm gonna do what it takes to get what I pay for."
Thornton told us the shards of glass from a broken, beer bottle have been cleaned up but the cigarette butts are still there.
WBTV also discovered the apartment complex has an "F" rating with the Better Business Bureau.
According to the BBB, the complex has had eight complaints in the past 36 months, most of which involved products and services. Management never responded to half of those complaints and one is still unresolved.
Thornton wasn't surprised to hear about the rating, but says she's learned a valuable lesson for the next apartment she moves to.
I didn't do any research," she admitted. "I didn't do anything, I just took it at face value and now I'm suffering the consequences for it."

It is a vibrant vinegar with a brilliant sweet note supported by a lively acidity. Aged for years in oak barrels, this vinegar is mature and balanced and infinitely more complex than normal wine vinegars.
The Osborne bodega was founded in the 18th Century by a young English gentleman, Thomas Osborne. More than two centuries later, Osborne is still a family run business that maintains the same enterprising spirit as its founder.
In the heart of its wineries in El Puerto de Santa Maria, in Andalucia, Osborne guards the casks in which V.O. is produced. A premium Sherry vinegar, rich mahogany in color with full aromatic notes reflecting its long oak-aging. Very expressive and full-bodied.
