Everything that was invented has to be reinvented, for instance: the sound of waves slapping wet rocks in the dark. We once called this night rote. We also used the phrase heart murmurs. If you look carefully you'll see that this isn't appropriate or necessary. You'll see instead track marks, not on your arm but in the damp sand or [other] — a piper birdly walking the sine wave's edge; a squirrel rattling down tremulous branches in the hot wind.
I have an urban confession: cars make me proud because I don't understand them. I'm proud of everything that runs when you want, stops when you can; mechanical reactions to a muscular prompt. Because it proves that Fielding was right, and Burton, too: right. There's a line in the song that goes "Bumps a lot, bumps a lot," crushed now to cinders, heaped in ashy piles, a volcano of mistakes. "Wrong again, wrong again, come along home." How we count the days, how we tear back pin-holed roof and radiate the sky. The slick approaching your shore is a hit-and-run kiss, and don't say you had no idea, because we're fraught with ideas. Cop-killer bullets: your idea. Crib death: idea. Why insist on throwing rotten apples at the apple tree? You'll only make the squirrel happy, and the piper tramping through the muck has nothing to do with your lousy aim.
An empty house, close to the ocean, windows open to admit the breeze. From everything I've confessed there's no reason it should not be clear that we are summer. There's a book, and in the book there's a set of rules, and these rules have a purpose. To ease you down the hill. To show the best route to the worst driver.
Thomas Quin doesn't care how you arrive, only that you arrive, and he doesn't care how you're dressed, you can dress like a fruit tree, a dandelion, a Ford Fusion, the angel of history. Tel que tu es, in better words. He's flush with ammo, and the minute you reach the barbed wire, he'll butcher your best ideas. Bits of your body will be strung along the line, lifeless. Like pulpy diamonds, like organic melons eaten inside out by maggots. What remains of what was you he will scoop and use to fertilize his land.
On that land grows nothing like an idea, and there is peace, and fields of rape-seed.

Friendly Fire"James Greer, one of the nimblest and most multilayered American fiction writers, has, with his latest novel The Failure, pulled off a sublime and shivery-smooth literary hat-trick-cum-emotional-gotcha. I defy anyone to come up with an equation to explain how this book's first impression as a ridiculously clever, funny crime story can gradually disclose a metanovel built from far more encyclopedic scratch only to reveal upon its conclusion a central, overriding thought so heartfelt literally it trembles your lower lip. This is one stunning piece of work."—Dennis Cooper"James Greer's The Failure is such an unqualified success, both in conception and execution, that I have grave doubts he actually wrote it."—Steven Soderbergh"Greer has done it again: a big-city, techno-jargon-filled thrill-ride with slick medium-brow drop references to our (once-shared) mythological hometown. What could be more poignant?"—Robert Pollard"How do you assess if your life has been a success? For starters, take time and turn it on its head. You'll first need to find its head. Luckily, James Greer's novel The Failure will help--it's a brainy, boisterous, unsettling, and unsettled look at a group of people thrust into the most confounding of existences, complete with petty crime, high science, love, sex, and cars. The narrative winds and darts, gleefully uncooperative. The characters have funny names and sometimes funny existences. Still, you will recognize them. They are us."—Ben Greenman

If anyone on Apple's current executive bench deserves credit for the company's long line of successful products, it's Jonathan, or "Jony," Ive. Since joining Apple in 1992, Ive's unmistakably clean, minimalist designs have been the stuff customers lust after and competitors emulate, from those first pastel-colored all-in-one iMacs to more recently, the 7.9-inch-sized iPad minis.
In an expanded role announced earlier this week, Ive, 45, will steer the design of Apple's human interfaces. "His incredible design aesthetic has been the driving force behind the look and feel of Apple's products for more than a decade," the company explained in a statement. Here are 21 reminders why his work remains untouchable.
The company just introduced three gorgeous new devices. Here's proof it wasn't always so adept.

READING, Pa.—The Reading School District says an accounting error has left it short more than $15 million.
Board President Robert F. Heebner Jr. tells the Reading Eagle http://bit.ly/100L2g2 that said revenues for the 2010-11 school year were overstated by about $15.6 million. The mistake was uncovered by district auditors.
School administrators are still working to learn more about how it happened. The board's vice president, Pierre V. Cooper, says it's not clear what the impact will be. But officials say the district will be able to make payroll, and they're confident that taxpayers won't be hurt.
Three lawmakers are demanding a state audit of the district.

I'm pretty sure Pac would KO Mosely in less than 6 after seeing this. He was lost & befuddled with PBF in the face of a little speed, a few 1-2's & not being able to land his punches the way he wanted to. That kind of hesitation she showed would spell a violent KO at Pac's hands. He would get steamrolled.
Pac would still have a very good chance against PBF because he doesn't wait for openings, he creates them & sometimes creates them when they shouldn't even be there.
I'd love to see what Williams could do with PBF & vice versa. I would be much more impressed with a PBF win over William's than one over Pac. If would be nice for him to close out his career with a performance like the one he had over Corrales back in the day.
Eh, in the end PBF will probably dig up Winky for his next fight.

District of Columbia County, District of Columbia

I mainly chose the Homewood Suites because I was wanting to use some of my Hilton HHonors points to pay for my accommodations the two nights I would be staying in Anchorage. The hotel is like any other Homewood Suites. All rooms are in a one or two bedroom configuration, with a full kitchen, living room with sofa bed, and bedroom. I was booked into a one bedroom suite.
This location opened in spring 2004. The hotel is basically the standard Homewood Suites layout, with a few modifications. For one, the lobby has been re-designated as the "lodge" at this location and features lots of craftsman style furniture, a large stone fireplace, stained glass lamps and chandeliers, and stuffed bears and caribou. In addition to the check in desk and several seating areas around the fireplace, the lodge features the hotel's breakfast area. As with all Homewood Suites locations, a full hot breakfast buffet is included with your room each morning and a light dinner meal is served Monday-Thursday evenings. The breakfast buffet was good with the standard scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage links, cereals, fruit, bagels, danishes, toast, coffee, and juices. Additionally, there is a do-it-yourself Belgian waffle bar with pre-measured cups of waffle batter and foolproof waffle irons available. Unfortunately I was not at the hotel early enough for the complimentary evening meal. Each suite has a monthly menu on the refrigerator door for this meal.
As for my suite, this hotel had the only bed on my trip that I would classify as very comfortable. While the living room and kitchen areas would be nice for a longer stay or if I was traveling with more people (I was alone), for my stay they were just extra unused space. I mainly chose this location because given the other options for redeeming HHonors points in Anchorage, this was the best value, because of the included breakfast. Overall, I would highly recommend this property for its convenience to the airport, Seward Highway, and overall value.

Steel Panther's 'British Invasion' DVD available for pre-order, new Stix Zadinia teaser clip posted
by craig on Sep.15, 2012, under CD/DVD RELEASES, FUNNIES, LINKS, ROCK NEWS, VIDEO
The Sunset Strip's hottest export STEEL PANTHER (Michael Starr, Satchel, Lexxi Foxxx & Stix Zadinia) is looking to further its quest for worldwide domination with the release of its first-ever DVD, "British Invasion", via Guitar Anarchy Studios. Rumored for release multiple times in the U.S. in 2010 and 2011, the DVD finally sees the light of day stateside on October 22, 2012. The band have been releasing teaser video clips over the last couple of weeks and here is the latest one featuring drummer Stix Zadinia and how comfortable he is around certain sexual toys.
Recorded with 16 cameras in pristine HD over a two-year period, the DVD chronicles STEEL PANTHER's legendary live show that the band has come to be known for. Beginning in March 2010 at the band's sold-out concert at Brixton Academy in London during their highly successful "Feel The Steel" tour, the DVD feaures some of the group's most memorable hits, including "Asian Hooker", "Community Property", "The Shocker" and "Stripper Girl", in a way never seen before. Included in the package is a laugh-out-loud documentary that follows the band backstage and on their tour that is not to be missed. The deluxe box set includes two DVDs — one with the full show and one with the documentary — deleted scenes and five songs from Download Festival 2012. The packaging also includes a 16-page color book. The DVD will also be available in Blu-ray at the same time.
"British Invasion" was directed and produced by award-winning director Daniel E. Catullo III (RUSH, NICKELBACK, GODSMACK) and was mixed by Jay Ruston, who worked with the band on both of their previous records. An official DVD web site has been set up specifically for the DVD release, , with a pre-order starting today as well. Fans who pre-order the DVD on the DVD site will receive a limited-edition signed poster of the band for free. New videos will be released every week up until release day to give the fans a sneak peek at the DVD and updated information will be posted on the official DVD site.
STEEL PANTHER is currently gearing up for their second world tour of 2012. The 25-plus-city trek kicks off in Auckland, New Zealand on October 2 and runs through mid-November and makes stops in major markets all over Europe and Australia, including Brisbane, Sydney, Perth, Helsinki, Amsterdam, Manchester, Paris, Zurich and Bristol, before wrapping up in London on November 15.
STEEL PANTHER was, for a long time, rock's best-kept secret: a cult legend on the L.A. scene. But in recent years due to the success of their albums (both debuted at #1 on the Billboard Comedy Album Charts) and live shows, the band has enjoyed huge acclaim from fans and peers alike. At sold-out shows in Hollywood and Las Vegas, STEEL PANTHER has been joined on stage by rock and roll icons such as Steven Tyler of AEROSMITH, Paul Stanley of KISS, Corey Taylor of SLIPKNOT, Tom Morello of RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, and Chester Bennington of LINKIN PARK.

Supporting the Overseas Territories
We have a broad responsibility to support the Overseas Territories and to ensure their security and good governance. Britain and territory governments share significant challenges: building more diverse and resilient economies; cutting public sector deficits; regulating finance businesses effectively; and protecting biodiversity and natural resources.
Overseas Territories Joint Ministerial Council
The Overseas Territories Joint Ministerial Council succeeds the Overseas Territories Consultative Councils. The Council discusses political and constitutional issues between the governments of the Overseas Territories and will meet once a year to agree priorities, develop plans and review their introduction. The UK Government and leaders of the Overseas Territories agreed a communiqué on 5 December 2012 setting out a detailed plan of action for the year ahead.
The Overseas Territories and the G8
Those Overseas Territories which host international finance centres have an important role to play in helping the UK to achieve it's G8 objectives.
In the lead up to the G8 Summit in Lough Erne they responded positively and speedily by agreeing further steps on tax transparency and beneficial ownership.
The Prime Minister commended their leadership at the Open for Growth event on 15 June. The Government is continuing to work in partnership with the Overseas Territories on this important agenda.
The Overseas Territories Programme Fund
The Overseas Territories Programme Fund supports the work of government to maintain the security, stability and prosperity of the Overseas Territories. This fund supports the economic, security, environmental and governance strategies in the government's white paper on the overseas territories.
The Department for International Development (DFID) provides budgetary support for Montserrat, Pitcairn and St Helena.
The Department for International Development's Operational Plan 2011-2015 explains how DFID money is allocated to the territories and how expenditure is monitored for effectiveness.
The funding we provide will help maintain physical access to these islands, strengthen human capacity to deliver public services effectively, including health and education provision, and move the overseas territories towards self-sufficiency where possible.
Protecting the environment
The Overseas Territories host some of our most precious environmental assets. We work in conjunction with Territory Governments, Non-Governmental Organisations, the private sector and other stakeholders to protect and conserve their natural environments.
Environment and climate fund: Darwin Plus
The government launched Darwin Plus: Overseas Territories Environment and Climate Fund, in October 2012. The aim of Darwin Plus is to help deliver long-term strategic outcomes for the natural environment in the UK's Overseas Territories.
This fund consists of contributions from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), and DFID. The fund will disburse around £2 million per year dedicated to a range of environment and climate-related projects to improve long-term natural resource management in the Overseas Territories.
Guidance and application forms for the fund are available on the Darwin Initiative website.
Protecting the overseas territories
One of the UK's main military tasks is to provide security to the nation and its Overseas Territories. The Ministry of Defence (MOD) published a security policy in 2011, Overseas Territories: the Ministry of Defence's contribution, which explains how the MOD will protect the Overseas Territories from 2012 to 2015.
The Overseas Territories are very diverse, with thousands of small islands, vast areas of ocean, but also, in Antarctica, land 6 times the size of the United Kingdom. They include one of the world's richest communities, in Bermuda; the most remote community, in Tristan da Cunha and one of the smallest, with only 54 people living on Pitcairn Island. The total population of the territories is roughly a quarter of a million.
There are 14 British overseas territories and most have a permanent resident population. The exceptions are the British Indian Ocean Territory and the British Antarctic Territory, and South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands. The latter two have research stations. The Sovereign Base Areas on Cyprus have a resident population of Cypriot nationals.
It is a long-standing policy commitment of successive UK Governments that the reasonable assistance needs of the overseas territories are the first call on the international development budget. The UK Government is committed under the United Nations Charter "to promote to the utmost… the well-being of the inhabitants of these territories".
Three overseas territories, St Helena, Montserrat and Pitcairn, are dependent on aid as a result of extreme challenges including inaccessibility, undiversified economies and declining populations.
The 14 Overseas Territories are:
- Anguilla
- Bermuda
- British Antarctic Territory
- British Indian Ocean Territory
- The British Virgin Islands
- The Cayman Islands
- The Falkland Islands
- Gibraltar
- Montserrat
- The Pitcairn, Henderson, Ducie & Oeno Islands
- Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha (including Gough Island Dependency)
- South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands
- Sovereign Base Areas, Akrotiri and Dhekelia (on Cyprus)
- The Turks & Caicos Islands
If you have a query about Gibraltar or any other Overseas Territory, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Spring came a little late this year, and so did the little green fronds poking up on river banks and flood plains around the state.

• Angelo D'Ambrosio's Facebook page, "Fiddleheads: A Wild Delicacy of Maine and the Northeast," is now approaching 10,000 fans. You can find it here: on.fb.me/ZNYChx
• D'Ambrosio has written a guide for people new to picking fiddleheads, and his wife Beverly has put together a cookbook of fiddlehead recipes. Both are available through FiddleheadDepot.com
• The University of Maine Cooperative Extension Service has two publications on fiddleheads available at extensionpubs.umext.maine.edu.
HEADING NORTH on Memorial Day weekend? Hiking the 100-Mile Wilderness or just exploring the Moosehead Lake region?
Stop in Monson on May 25 for the first annual Fiddlehead supper at the Monson Center for Community and Commerce, 35 Greenville Road. Because the fiddlehead season will be so short, Angelo D'Ambrosio, creator of the "Fiddleheads: A Wild Delicacy of Maine and the Northeast" Facebook page, has teamed up with Linda Carvalho Bury, owner of Thymes and Seasons, for this new event. The menu will include lots of fiddlehead dishes, as well as ham and beans for those who aren't wild about these wild greens. The supper will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Adults $8, veterans $6, children under 12 $4.
The season has been so cool and dry (until last weekend, that is) that fiddleheads have been slow to make their annual appearance.
But they are "coming along nicely now," says David Fuller of the University of Maine Cooperative Extension in Farmington.
Fiddleheads are turning up in local markets and on spring menus. At The Good Table in Cape Elizabeth, the specials last week included a farmers market omelette with fiddleheads and a dijon creme, and eggs benedict with fiddleheads and hollandaise.
At the East Ender in Portland, chef/owner Mitch Gerow is serving fiddleheads with egg noodles, house tasso ham and Farmer Brown purple potatoes.
This week, we share a few fiddlehead recipes from Maine chefs.
Note that chefs find the food-safety rule about boiling fiddleheads for 10 minutes before serving a little over the top, like asking them to grill a piece of tuna for an hour, so their preparation methods vary. (Fiddleheads are vulnerable to secondary contamination from agricultural fields or wastewater because of where they grow. In some cases, if they aren't cleaned and prepared properly, they can cause gastrointestinal distress.)
When making these dishes at home, keep in mind where you bought your fiddleheads, clean them well, and judge the risk for yourself.
Then enjoy this lovely little taste of spring.
Pete Sueltenfuss, executive chef at Grace in Portland, has been making a fiddlehead stew to accompany the restaurant's Breezy Hill Farms pork chop. The dish is also served with cheesy roasted fingerling potatoes and a smoked cornbread and chicharon crumble.
From Pete Sueltenfuss, executive chef at Grace, Portland
Servings: Four as a side.
1 pound fiddleheads, cleaned and blanched in salted water
1 tablespoon butter
1 onion brunoise (small dice)
1 fennel brunoise
6 roma tomatoes concasse
1 cup dry sherry
1 cup roasted chicken stock
Sweat the onion and fennel in butter until soft. Add the sherry and cook until most of the liquid is gone. Add the diced tomato and chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Just before serving, add the fiddleheads so they maintain their vibrant green color.
Mitchell Kaldrovich of Sea Glass at Inn by the Sea is preparing fiddleheads brought to him by forager Rick Tibbets as specials for as long as the season lasts.
In addition to the goat cheese croquette-fiddlehead salad below, he's making dishes such as duck breast with a light cherry sauce and fiddleheads, served with cumin polenta.
"Spring means fiddleheads and their mellow flavors fresh from our forager," Kaldrovich said. "Fiddleheads are best treated lightly, just as you would asparagus. They are great with just a touch of lemon. I also like to quickly blanch them so they keep their crispness. I have fried them tempura-style after pickling them to top fish dishes or serve with a salad. In Argentina, we had nothing similar -- fiddleheads are very special to Maine's climate."
From Mitchell Kaldrovich, executive chef at Sea Glass at Inn by the Sea, Cape Elizabeth
Servings: Six
1 small shallot, minced
2 tablespoons wildflower honey
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 lemons, juice and zest
¾ cup extra virgin olive oil
Maine sea salt or kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper
Combine all the ingredients except the oil in a bowl. Whisk vigorously and slowly add the oil. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

The search is on for the crooks that broke into a center city apartment. They took cameras, jewelry, and even a TV. But one thing these heart-less robbers took can never be replaced.
Betty, a Chinese crested mix, was "dog-napped" from her foster home on Friday.
The cries from this little pooch haunt Ali Rans of Rittenhouse Square.
"I don't want her to be hurt and I know she's scared," says Ali.
Betty is a rescue dog in Ali's care for a short time. Despite the short time together, they already have a bond that Ali can't imagine living without.
"She's six pounds," says Ali. "She's this little tiny ball of energy. I just need to see her again."
It was Friday night. Ali says she came home to find her door pried open. Her TV was gone. Her mac book and several cameras were missing as well.
"The drawers were opened. The drawers on the desk were opened," she describes.
But all of that soon became trivial.
"Then I started calling for Betty and didn't hear her," she recalls.
The crook that broke in also stole Betty! And it's turned Ali's life upside-down. "Every night we would come home. I would tell her she's safe here, everything's going to be fine," says Ali. "When you come home, you realize she wasn't safe. I'm hopeful she will come back because it really hits you."
Ali continues, "Just feeling for her. She's scared of people and she's scared of loud noises. She's timid when she doesn't know you."
Police say Ali is the latest victim in a series of burglaries that have rocked her neighbors in recent months. But the theft of a dog has them in disbelief.
"You really do feel victimized [but] this really upset me," says a neighbor.
Ali is posting flyers with Betty's picture, hoping someone finds her. And she checks her iPhone frequently for leads.
The main thing right now is trying to stay positive.
"If I start going with the worst scenarios, why they would have taken her, I just can't go there," reflects Ali.
Flames are tearing through a South Jersey forest right now, and this wildfire is only expected to grow.

If you read the license agreement above you will discover a problem with this program. Some of these printers rely on object code to work and that software is distributed under the conditions of a restrictive non-free license agreement. While LinuxMint includes some non-free drivers/firmware such hardware is anti-user. It makes it difficult to use, install, and maintain. The free software community can't fix bugs or make improvements. LinuxMint and other distributions work based on the cooperation of companies and individuals. When these companies don't play nice we all suffer. Your printer shouldn't break just because you upgrade or the manufacturer decides to stop supporting it.
Fortunately some projects have realised this and don't distribute non-free code any more. Debian, ALSA, linux-libre, and other projects are slowly moving us forward and making it easier to avoid these issues. While LinuxMint is a good starter distribution it would be nice if there were a program to let you know about the non-free software you were dependent on and how to go about finding freedom loving hardware.
HP is the only company that is making it clear (if you know what to look for) which printers are free software compatible. On the HP driver web site they list which printers require a plug-in or non-free firmware. If you can help it go with HP and don't buy those which are dependent on the non-free components.
http://www.thinkpenguin.com/ is committed to free software. They only sell hardware that is free software compatible. If you need a place to go and don't want to do any of the research I highly recommend them. Their end user support is great too.

549 E Bay St, Charleston, SC | Directions 2940332.792254 -79.931397
Sun-Thurs 5-10pm; Fri-Sat 5-11pm; Sun 11am-2pm
Closed – It has been closed for a few months now. Currently, only one Boathouse remains....at Breech Inlet on the Isle of Palms. Their restaurant on Harborview Road--James Island--burned. They say they are going to rebuild it. It was less pricey than Breech Inlet.
The food here is excellent. Great side dishes like lobster mashed potatoes and smoked gouda mac & cheese. We had a good waiter. Appetizers came out fast, entrees not so much, but overall still a very good experience. Chocolate mousse cake for dessert looked average, but tasted excellent!
good food – The food is great and so is the service. Alittle pricey but all around good experience.

"Ordering and preview of product was very nice and easy to customize. What impressed me the most was how easy it was to make a last minute change in the text. I sent an email with my request and got a confirmation email in less than 24 hrs that the change had been made. Excellent customer service"
"I was nicely satisfied with the quality of the invitation presentation. It looks like a high quality card that stands out above others. I would recommend this to others!"
"Our daughter picked our her images, we uploaded all of them to try out how they'd look on the card. Placement was easy and she was incredibly pleased with the look and feel."
"I needed a card that would fit inside the traditional graduation announcements we ordered from the school. This card was the answer! My daughter's graduation party invites are beautiful!!! I requested the postcard back to be changed to a plain back with a black box (vertical like the front of the card). I put details to the party, what store she was registered at, and where she would attend college (and major) in the fall. I have received so many compliments on the card! We had to immediately order more because my daughter wanted to invite more people once she saw the invite! Stay with the font size the card calls for. It keeps everything in perspective. Use the same font on the back. You won't be disappointed!"
"I chose studio basics for a graduation invitation that I needed to turn around quickly without sacrificing style, and wow, did I hit the jackpot. The design was sleek and elegant and the personalization with four photos made the high school graduation invitation a memento for recipients and my family."

A school lesson on Internet safety prompted a York Preparatory Academy student to tell her teacher about the lurid Facebook messages Benjamin Thrift sent her last year, a prosecutor said on Thursday.
Thrift, 21, on Thursday pleaded guilty in a York courtroom to two counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor, criminal solicitation of a minor and attempted second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor after authorities accused him in two sexual incidents.
He was sentenced to 12 years in prison and will be placed on the sex offender registry for the rest of his life.
In the case involving the York Prep student, Thrift offered to pay her for an hour of sex. Ten days later, he wound up in handcuffs, charged with criminal solicitation of a minor when he ran into police instead of the girl he planned to meet at a stop sign in McConnells.
His first set of charges came in June last year when police in York discovered that he had several conversations with a 14-year-old girl on Facebook and then later had sex with her twice, said Erin Joyner, the York County assistant solicitor who prosecuted Thrift. He was arrested, but left jail on a $24,000 bond.
Four months later, he befriended the 12-year-old York Prep student on Facebook and solicited her for sex, authorities said. After sitting in on a class about online predators, the girl reported the conversations to her teacher and administrators, who then called police.
Detectives saved screenshots of Thrifts conversations with the girl before assuming her identity and re-initiating conversation with him, Joyner said. Thrift, thinking he was speaking with the girl, solicited her for sex again, offering her money.
Police, pretending to be the girl, arranged a meeting with Thrift at a stop sign in McConnells. Instead of meeting the girl, he met authorities, who arrested and charged him.
In court on Thursday, Thrift acknowledged that he would have to spend time in prison, but asked Circuit Court Judge D. Craig Brown if he could serve five years behind bars, said Phil Smith, Thrifts York County public defender. The judge opted to sentence Thrift to 12 years, the recommended maximum sentence prosecutors and Thrifts lawyer agreed on during plea negotiations.
Thrift told the judge that he had taken special classes in school and took medication for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, which was discontinued when he was still in elementary school because he suffered from nervous tics, Smith said.
School was somewhat difficult for him and because of that he tended to have friends much younger than him, Smith said. The computer had given him an ability to meet persons and bypass some social awkwardness.

Sharing Confidential Information SecurelyLet's face it, E-Mail and social networking are public. Secure Forward is a private alternative to E-Mail and social networking that protects confidential information everywhere it goes: in transit and at a rest on the server and recipient's computer.
How It Works:
- Secure Forward employs at least 2 factors of authentication to validate users during registration and sign-in.
- Secure Forward users create cryptographic keys on their computer or smart card (optional) during registration.
- Secure Forward utilizes these keys to encrypt a sender�s messages and files in such a way that only designated recipients will be able to view them. Encryption and decryption are transparent to both sender and receiver but ensure that confidential information is protected everywhere it goes.
- Secure Forward presents a simple and easy to use "social networking" user interface, allowing users to share and view information quickly and directly.

Professional Practices: Sustainability Outside the GalleryLos Angeles, CA
Bummer! Sales have ended.
Unfortunately, tickets for this event are no longer on sale.
Event Details
Join us as we consider the concept of sustaining an art practice outside of the gallery system. We'll discuss subtopics such as other opportunites - grants & residencies, public engagement, and what to do when you're "inbetween galleries". We'll even tackle the ever enigmatic and elusive idea of patronage.

- Silicon Valley's 19 Coolest Places to Work
- Is Windows 8 Development Worth the Trouble?
- 8 Books Every IT Leader Should Read This Year
- 10 Hot Hadoop Startups to Watch
Network World - Few technology trends have inspired as many misgivings -- and as much misinformation - as BYOD, or "bring your own device." Is the idea of allowing employees to purchase and use their own laptops and mobile devices a security nightmare? A productivity boon? A drain on the service desk? And perhaps the biggest question of all, a cost-savings nirvana?
With conflicting information - and few well-managed implementations of BYOD from which to learn - confusion abounds as to whether BYOD saves money or costs more. In a survey by Xigo, a provider of cloud-based expense management, respondents named cost savings as a top goal for BYOD programs. However, most (67%) said their mobile expenditures had not changed after allowing some form of BYOD, while nearly one-quarter saw them rise. Meanwhile, in a survey by Lieberman Software, most respondents (67%) said BYOD would increase IT and security costs.
"People might think, 'I don't have to buy laptops or tablets anymore, so this is going to save me money,'" says Paul DeBeasi, research vice president at Gartner. But because hardware expenditures are far lower than other hidden costs of BYOD, he says, the question is not whether costs will go down but whether they will rise or stay the same. "BYOD probably will not save you money," DeBeasi says.
While others believe cost savings can be had, they are only achievable when costs are recognized and strategically managed through well-designed policies, says Hyoun Park, principal analyst at Nucleus Research. However, "most companies do not do BYOD in a cost-effective manner," he says.
BYOD resistance loosening but security practices lacking
With that in mind, we have investigated the costs that must be either counted or reined in to pursue BYOD cost-effectively.
Cost Category 1: Devices
In most BYOD programs, hardware costs are the first to go, which is probably why the trend is so often perceived as a big win, cost-wise. In actuality, however, because many companies enjoy volume discounts, hardware savings amount to about $10 per month when spread over the typical 18- to 24-month device lifespan, Park says. This is trivial compared with the other support, usage and management costs associated with mobility, he says.
A complication can also arise for employees with older devices, who may ask for upgrade stipends if mandatory corporate apps require more processing power than their models provide, DeBeasi says. "The policy should require employees to keep their hardware and software at minimum specified levels," he says. "Getting the policy right today saves money down the road."
Cost Category 2: Support
A similar BYOD misconception is that support costs can be completely pushed onto the employee. In reality, since the device is partially a corporate asset and supporting business functions, some level of corporate support is required, Park says. "It's difficult to toss off much of the support costs," he says. "At the end of the day, when employees are having trouble getting into the network or dealing with corporate software, they'll have to go back to the help desk."

A Devotional Series by Charles H. Spurgeon
Friday, October 18, 2013
"Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice." {#1Sa 15:22}
Saul had been commanded to slay utterly all the Amalekites and their cattle. Instead of doing so, he preserved the king, and suffered his people to take the best of the oxen and of the sheep. When called to account for this, he declared that he did it with a view of offering sacrifice to God; but Samuel met him at once with the assurance that sacrifices were no excuse for an act of direct rebellion. The sentence before us is worthy to be printed in letters of gold, and to be hung up before the eyes of the present idolatrous generation, who are very fond of the fineries of will worship, but utterly neglect the laws of God. Be it ever in your remembrance, that to keep strictly in the path of your Saviour's command is better than any outward form of religion; and to hearken to his precept with an attentive ear is better than to bring the fat of rams, or any other precious thing to lay upon his altar. If you are failing to keep the least of Christ's commands to his disciples, I pray you be disobedient no longer. All the pretensions you make of attachment to your Master, and all the devout actions which you may perform, are no recompense for disobedience. "To obey", even in the slightest and smallest thing, "is better than sacrifice", however pompous. Talk not of Gregorian chants, sumptuous robes, incense, and banners; the first thing which God requires of his child is obedience; and though you should give your body to be burned, and all your goods to feed the poor, yet if you do not hearken to the Lord's precepts, all your formalities shall profit you nothing. It is a blessed thing to be teachable as a little child, but it is a much more blessed thing when one has been taught the lesson, to carry it out to the letter. How many adorn their temples and decorate their priests, but refuse to obey the word of the Lord! My soul, come not thou into their secret.

The Buice Observatory is a great place to view the Winter Solstice sky, weather permitting. Come view the Pleiades cluster, Orion's nebula, Jupiter, and the moon's craters, just as the ancient Mayans did as they developed their calendar.

You'd invite your best friends over and set the table with elegant letterpressed place cards. Nope, sorry. Tomorrow you'll wake up your same old self. The bagel will come from the deli. It will be a miracle if you have paper towels in the house. Your friends will keep their distance till lunch. And you'll wisely leave the letterpressing to the experts at Carrot & Stick Press. They handle all custom-paper needs: wedding invitations (with matching hand-drawn maps), birth announcements (with baby's footprint), everyday stationery, and, yes, place cards. The patterns — argyle, bamboo, polka dots — are both charming and elegant. Which is the message you want your message to send. As for the blackberry scones … Damn, but that bagel was good.

In Short
Located just south of the equator, Papua New Guinea (PNG) is a land of striking natural beauty. One of earth's mega-diverse regions, the country is home unique fauna and flora, more than 600 islands, and the largest area of intact rainforest outside of the Amazon.
Part of a great mountainous arc, which stretch from Asia through Indonesia and into the South Pacific, PNG is rich in tradition and complex in culture – boasting over 800 indigenous languages. While the country isn't renowned as a tourist hotspot, thousands flock to PNG every year to experience tribal Highland culture, stunning coral reefs, and historic wartime sites – including the country's foremost attraction, the Kokoda Track.
PNG's capital, Port Moresby is the South Pacific's largest city. The sprawling administrative centre consumes the shores of the Gulf of Papua – reaching from Fairfax Harbour into the hills.

Quick Facts
Papua New Guinea boosts exciting and rich food experiences. Countless international cooking styles are represented at hundreds of Port Moresby eateries, while traditional dishes can be enjoyed at a number of inner city markets and in outlying villages.
Cuisine from all over the world – including Asian, Indian, Middle Eastern – can be found in downtown Port Moresby. Fast food chains, in particular fried chicken takeaways, and Kai bars (fast-food stands) have risen in popularity, due to convenience and their family-oriented style. Most resorts feature a good blend of international fare and traditional Papua New Guinean specialities.
Villagers produce most of their own food, while many townspeople plant gardens and rely on open-air markets for produce and meats. Food is caught or harvested daily and cooked using traditional recipes and techniques over open fires or in ceremonial earth ovens. Rice tends to be incorporated into almost every meal, and is the staple of thousands of local recipes. Seafood – in particular tuna, wahoo, giant trevally, giant clam, crayfish, mud crab, octopus and squid – also features prominently in local meals, as well as vegetables (specifically root vegetables).
Papua New Guinea is famous for its coconuts. Coconut flesh and cream is often used in recipes, while fresh coconut juice is served and drunk from the nut.
Port Moresby has a variety of shopping opportunities. Downtown and hotel stores sell souvenirs and duty-free items, while markets showcase a wide range of local handicrafts.
Travel books and guides along with souvenirs can be found predominately in hotel shops and at the airport. .
Port Moresby is a Mecca of Papua New Guinean tribal and folk art. Many shops sell tribal and folk art, however the biggest collection can be found at PNG Art – a renowned emporium that attracts buyers from galleries around the world. PNG Art also displays a number of Papua New Guinean handicrafts, many of which are handmade and produced in local villages.
Handicrafts – in the form of bilums (woven string bags) horims (penis sheaths, still commonly worn in rural villages) story boards (intricately carved depictions of village life), elaborate multi-coloured headdresses, fierce masks, shields, spears, fertility symbols, baskets, shell jewellery and pig-tooth necklaces – make for great souvenirs.
The best places to pick up handicrafts are markets and outlets. Tabari Place Handicraft Market has a good selection of breast plates, jewellery, bilums and hats. While Ela Beach Craft International School hosts a market on the last Saturday of every month, where unique goods – including carvings, weavings, baskets and paintings along with shells and other local crafts – are sold.

To Trust a Stranger
The Midnight Hour
Paradise County
The Senator's Wife
To Trust a Stranger
After working her butt off for the past decade to get through law school and singly raise her son, Ben, Kate has finally gotten a job with the DA's office and is approaching the kind of lifestyle she wants Ben to have, the life she never had: stability, a decent neighborhood, and not living off fast food or pb&j's for the twelve days before she gets
paid. Then a courtroom disaster throws her into the path of Mario Castellanos, a convict with whom Kate used to hang out - and who Kate saw murder an off-duty police officer.
Mario threatens to reveal Kate as the cop's killer if she doesn't bend over backwards to get him out of prison. He also orders her to lie to everyone regarding his involvement
in this latest tragedy that covered an attempted prison break. Since Mario and Kate seem to be the only survivors, this doesn't seem too difficult a task - until Tom Braga starts investigating the deaths of the judge, police, civilians, and felons involved in the courtroom shooting.
At first, Tom assumes the investigation will only support what he himself witnessed and what Kate White, the only hostage and the woman claiming to have killed her captor,
had reported. Tom immediately notices that Kate seems to be afraid all of the time - even days after the shootings. So he digs a little deeper. And unfortunately for Kate, Tom's
brother, a deputy who did survive being shot, saw Mario in the hallway with her during the incident. When Mario's gang friends and then Mario himself start harassing Kate and Ben, it becomes painfully obvious that there is more to her story.
It takes two hundred pages to get this far, and it is definitely not the interesting half of the book. When Mario is found dead in Kate's garage and she and Tom finally consummate their growing attraction, the action picks up and the plot finally starts to move. Mario's death does not solve Kate's problems because then his fellow gang members kidnap Ben and his ransom is for Kate to do whatever they ask of her.ĀHis kidnapping is the wake-up call Kate needs to spill the truth that has been dragging the plot down so much. Though by the time you, bored and frustrated, reach a point where the book finally grabs you, you may be ready to give up on it, the second half is considerably more edgy.
If, in fact, fifty to a hundred pages out of the first part of the book had been edited out, this may have been a four-heart book. Kate and Tom are genuinely likeable characters and their romance was truly enjoyable and usually more suspenseful than what was happening in the book (although, that wouldn't have taken much).ĀSecondary characters included Tom's fellow police officers and family, all of whom were also very well-written. Fans of Robards specifically and perhaps romantic suspense in general will
be at least somewhat disappointed but will still want to read this; however, I would advise picking up a copy at your local library instead of spending the cash.
