At First Sight (1999)
Plot Summary
A driven Manhattan architect, Amy, relaxes at a resort and falls for the masseur, Virgil, blind since age 3 and assisted by his spinster sister. He helps Amy hear and sense the world, giving her new spirit and a burst of creativity. Over the sister's objections, Amy takes Virgil to New York for new, radical surgery. He regains his sight. He's disoriented and must learn to process these new images. Finding his place in a seeing world strains his relation with Amy; his absent father wants to connect with him now that he can see; then, retinal disease threatens to undo the surgery. Can love survive, will he find his new place and his old tranquillity, can Amy accommodate limits?- Written by <email@example.com>
Amy is an architect who works for perfection. She takes a vacation at a small town health spa where she meets Virgil, a blind masseur. She falls in love with him for the senses he loves that she takes for granted. They listen to the rain, they make love, and then she does research on restoring sight he hasn't had since he was one year old. He joins her in New York and undergoes the treatment only to find that seeing doesn't mean comprehending what one sees. The difficult road to understanding the visual world tests their relationship. The strain is taken to the limits when Virgil begins to lose his sight once again.- Written by Lordship <email@example.com>
A blind man has an operation to regain his sight at the urging of his girlfriend and must deal with the changes to his life.- Written by Lordship <email@example.com>

Hi, I'm struggling with a strange issue.
I added some DIVs to the html editor of some static pages and I used the "data-" attributes in these DIVs because I need them to run some js functions. I also added some IFRAMEs to these pages. Then I exported everything in XML.
Well... if I import the XML in a normal blog, everything works fine, but if I import it in a site of a WordPress network, it simply skips the data- attributes and the iframes.
The original code, for instance:

content ecc...
in the Network is:

content ecc...
The same with the IFRAMEs. They are simply missing.
Do I need to set something in the network settings or is it a bug?

dysarthria), difficulty coordinating movements (ataxia), numbness in the hands and feet (peripheral neuropathy), and progressive leg weakness. Some affected individuals may experience vision loss due to damage to the back of the eye (retinitis pigmentosa). Symptoms typically begin during childhood or adolescence and worsen with age, resulting in the need for a wheelchair by early adulthood. AVED is caused by a mutation to the TTPA gene. When this gene is damaged, vitamin E cannot be distributed throughout the body. Vitamin E is important because it protects the cells of the neurological system (neurons) from dangerous molecules called free radicals. AVED is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Treatment for AVED includes vitamin E supplements, which will prevent AVED from developing if given before symptoms begin and may reverse some neurological symptoms if begun after AVED develops.[1][2]Ataxia with vitamin E deficiency (AVED) is a progressive disease affecting motor control and movement. Symptoms of AVED include slurred speech (

India Budget 'Attempts' to Bridge Protein Deficit, Godrej Says
Balram Yadav, managing director of Godrej Agrovet Ltd., comments on India's federal budget for the financial year beginning April 1.
India will cut the budget deficit to 4.6 percent of its gross domestic product, Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee said in his annual budget speech in parliament today. The government proposes to boost spending on expanding oil-palm plantations and production of lentils, he said.
Yadav made his comments in an e-mailed statement.
On the budget impact:
"We are happy that the budget included initiatives that will boost India's crop and livestock yields. The government has finally begun to pay serious attention to the livestock sector, with 3 billion rupees dedicated to the creation of a national mission for protein supplements.
''Together with continued funding for pulses and 3 billion rupees for fodder development, there is a serious attempt being made to address the crippling protein deficit. We welcome the allocation of 3 billion rupees for oil-palm cultivation on 60,000 additional hectares, which will help reduce dependence on imported edible oil.''
On irrigation:
''While reduction of import duty on micro-irrigation products by 2.5 percent was positive, subsidy increases and infrastructure status should have also been granted, given the immense future challenge of water scarcity. Finally, another 1 trillion rupees of credit for farmers and 3 percent interest subvention will help rejuvenate investment across the agricultural sector, increasing long-term productivity.''

Farmers can claim ethical high ground
Farmers need to "reclaim the ethical high ground" that is lost when animal rights groups shoot undercover video of animal abuse on farms.
Charlie Arnot, CEO of the nonprofit Center for Food Integrity, which is dedicated to building consumer trust and confidence in the modern food system, said farmers are not going to win consumers back by railing against those who infiltrated farms and shot the videos.
A keynote speaker at last week's Professional Dairy Producers of Wisconsin, Arnot said farmers can reclaim the ethical high ground by becoming more transparent.
There have been 40 undercover videos on farms shot since 2006, and the farms that have had the best outcomes with consumers have quickly responded by saying that what appears on the videos is "inconsistent with our values."
Arnot says that "attacking the attacker" isn't going to work.
Farmers need to continue to earn the "social license to operate" by building trust, or consumers will no longer use the product in question — eggs, pork, milk.
Many farmers use science as a defense for what they do, believing that if they can convince consumers of the scientific merit of something, most consumers will be okay with it. Arnot said that's the wrong angle to take because it won't work.
A survey of 6,000 U.S. consumers over six years found that the perception of "shared values" is three to five times more influential than scientific merit.
"We always start with facts and figures, and when we do that, we're not even speaking the same language (with consumers)," he told the PDPW audience.
Farmers will have much more resonance with consumers if they talk about compassion, responsibility, respect, fairness, truth and values similarity, he said.
When consumers hear that farmers do something because it is scientifically verified or economically viable — like tail docking or dehorning or pulling calves away from their mothers — they hear that profits are more important to farmers than values they might share, he added.
"Science will tell us if we should do these things, but society will tell us if we can," Arnot said.
People are much more likely to act on what they feel and believe than what they know. Today's farmers, more than ever are under the microscope.
"We need to become radically transparent dairy farmers."
Arnot talked about two farms that experienced someone coming on their farm, posing as a worker and shooting abuse videos; one was a hog farm, and one was a dairy farm. How the two farms responded was very different.
What he considered the "wrong response" was the hog farmer who reacted with outrage and urged the prevention of undercover videos. Several states are considering laws to make it illegal to come onto farms with the intention of shooting this kind of video — some call them "ag gag" bills.
Arnot said the better reaction from farmers would be to urge lawmakers to pass bills that would require anyone getting such video to report the animal abuse within 24 hours or be charged as a party to the abuse.
That would show that farmers share society's values of taking good care of animals.
The dairy farmer in Arnot's example took that sort of approach. He said he was glad they took the video. "I want to know about this so I can get it stopped," was his reaction.
The dairy farmer went on to become more transparent by installing video cameras in the dairy barns, which sent the message to the public that the animals "deserve to be treated with respect." He took a number of other measures that quickly rehabilitated the farm's image with the public.
History of performance
Farms also have a good chance of quickly rehabilitating their image if they have a historical record of good performance, he said. This can mean getting a veterinarian to comment on the animal care at the farm
Farmers may also have to overcome a public bias against size. In general, society believes that "the bigger you are, the more likely you are to be driven by profit."
If you are a "commercial" farmer, your interest in profit goes against principle, the thinking goes. When asked in a survey, consumers believe a farm with over 100 animals is a "large farm," he added.
Society wants farmers to provide accurate information, be reliable and complete, and they want farmers to be forthcoming. "They want to know that ethical principles guide behavior on your farm," Arnot said.
When there is an incident on a farm, the public wants and expects the farmer to take responsibility and own it.
A good approach is to apologize and freely admit mistakes were made if something happens that is at odds with public attitudes, he said.
"Who you are is as important as what you know. You need to communicate your shared values. It makes science more relevant."
Arnot said that society has become more skeptical, and farmers should embrace that. "It's not personal. It's a social condition."
That means the public wants information about farmers but not "details about farming." Farmers need to learn to speak the language of social media. "Transparency is not optional."
Words important
The words that farmers use to talk about their farms to the public are important. Research shows that there is a "much warmer" feeling about a "farm" than there is about an "operation."
To call people "farmers" has a much better connotation with the public than does the word "producer," he said. Producers, in the public mind, are those who are driven by profit.
"The word 'producer' professionalizes the occupation but it works against us over time," he said.
The same is true about using the term "barn" versus the word "facility" and talking about the "dairy industry."
"That reinforces the stereotype of the industrial model."
Arnot told the PDPW audience that the "ag gag" legislation in reaction to undercover farm videos is the wrong approach.
When farmers push for these laws to say that it is unlawful to come on a farm to shoot these videos; it reinforces the public's perception that there's something going wrong on farms.
The approach that allows farmers to reclaim the ethical high ground is one that requires anyone seeing this kind of abuse, and shooting this kind of video, to report it within 24 hours.
"To me, that puts us on the same high ground with the public rather than banning cameras."

Spiritual Reflections: In this week's readings, we're dealing with parables. The one sure thing is that message is not going to be what we would expect.
Spiritual Reflections: In this week's readings, we're dealing with parables. The one sure thing is that message is not going to be what we would expect.
In today's first reading and Gospel, the sacred authors give us a glimpse into the missiology God has used to bring about the redemption and salvation of sinful humankind. Deutero-Isaiah describes the missionary efforts of God's powerful and creative word, spoken into time and space to accomplish the end for which God sent it: to gather in all the peoples of the earth.
Spiritual Reflections: In this weekend's first reading and Matthean Gospel, God and Jesus are represented as peaceable, meek and gentle.
Someone once said that a connoisseur of classical music is someone who can listen to Rossini's "William Tell Overture" and not think of "The Lone Ranger."
Spiritual Reflections: Manna had a strange effect on the wandering people. It fed them not just physically but socially and economically, too.
Spiritual Reflections: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity simply focuses on the concrete relationships God initiates and sustains with humanity.
Pentecost has often been described as the birthday of the church. Perhaps it might be more accurate to refer to Pentecost as the celebration of the Spirit, who, like a midwife, tends carefully to the birth of the community of believers.
Before formulating a missionary strategy and before recruiting others to help them in their ministry, the Eleven first prayed.
In 1971, a significant book for the study of the Christian Scriptures appeared. Trajectories Through Early Christianity, by James McConkey Robinson and Helmut Koester, explored the diverse and often contradictory theologies contained in those writings. The authors were convinced our sacred authors presented various ways of understanding the implications of imitating Jesus' death and resurrection in our everyday lives. These inspired writers offer us "trajectories" of diverse theologies, not the straight-line "catechism" theology employed by most Christian churches today.
Spiritual Reflections: This Sunday's readings are marked by dysfunctional community, used and rejected building materials, and near-paralyzed leadership. Not the characteristics of a flourishing enterprise.

Here's a roundup of national media predictions for Sunday's Eagles-Rams game.
Here's a roundup of what the media are saying about the Eagles following their 37-34 win over Washington.
Donovan McNabb has seen Nick Foles start 16 games, but he's not ready to say the Eagles have found themselves a franchise quarterback.
"That's the big question. I really can't answer that at this particular point. But if I had to, give or take, I would say no," McNabb said during an interview with Harry Mayes and Brian Baldinger on 97.5 The Fanatic. Read more »
Chip Kelly recently sat down with Ross Tucker and Bill Polian for a wide-ranging conversation that covered some pretty interesting ground. Read more »
Donovan McNabb thinks the Eagles will repeat as NFC East champs, but he believes expectations for Nick Foles might be a tad high going into 2014.
"I'm just a little worried if he can do it for a full season," McNabb said during a roundtable discussion on Fox Sports 1. "I'm just worried about that aspect, not so much of his health, but can you be consistent like what we saw last year? We've seen so many quarterbacks give us one year of greatness, and then all of a sudden they can't live up to the expectations. I'm not saying he can't do that in that offense, but I think expectations are a little bit too high for Nick Foles. Read more »

I for one am glad to see a former 49ers other then Prime Time on the NFL network. I was hoping he would get a gig on the NFL although its the morning show I hope to see ED on the prgame show and replace either Sapp or Irvin spouting DALLAS DALLAS all the Cowboys crap our squad was better then Dallas last year. But
I wonder if Eric is gonna work on the station? I think he still will do the 9ers games or hope.
Maybe the Razor goes on the GAME and replaces ED...but his time may over as an host his interview on 95.7 was hard to listen to as a fan of his. But I like Ray Ratto so he would be good to.

I'm not an Ubuntu expert, but I've been using it for quite some time. One of the most difficult things for me to fix are graphics/X/video driver problems. I usually just reinstall everything when there's an issue since all the data can be brought over, but this time is somewhat different.
The old nVidia GeForce 6800 card on my Dell OptiPlex 745 gave out, so my only option was to revert back to the integrated graphics, which turns out to be Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 3000. As a result of the change, I've purged all nVidia drivers and uninstalled them. I've also installed the Intel Graphics Driver Installer and went through. However, it didn't seem like any chances were made. When booting up, I get a black screen with a thin purple border.
The only way to boot into the desktop/login screen is going through the GRUB menu (pressing Shift) and selecting the recovery mode and selecting Resume, a process that takes too long to boot. The other options on the recovery menu (like dpkg) didn't work. I suspect it is just something preventing the correct drivers from loading because it is normal through recovery mode options.
Also, I've read about the option to edit the commands by adding "nomodeset" in the boot entry on GRUB, but I'd rather not try those until the problem is identified and fixed.
Can anyone guide me into fixing this or direct me to where something like this has been solved before? Thanks in advance.

Anyone putting together a tasting after the Friday part of the festival? Im coming up from AZ and wondering if itd be worth the extra cash to check a box of beer to bring back. Things seemed to end really early last year...
nbutler11, 7/14/2009
Where can I get advanced tickets?
MereLikesBeer, 6/13/2009
So... There are a couple of us staying at the Marriot just down the road from the festival site. If anybody still needs a room, floor space is available.

Anyone know which metro-Detroit breweries/brewpubs are doing bus trips? I think Dragonmead and Sherwood had busses going last year...

Work to resurface the highway, from 100m east of the Parry St
roundabout to the Ravensdown fertiliser works, was completed
before Christmas.
But some undulation in the road surface was to be examined by
NZTA staff and contractors.
NZTA senior network manager for Otago John Jarvis said the
project was subject to maintenance.
''If there are any problems, they'll get attended to,'' he
The edge of the new seal was slightly uneven, particularly on
the harbour side, but where it joined the old seal was quite
visible and should not catch motorists out, Mr Jarvis said.
''We're going to have a closer look at that, because the road
in general through there does undulate a little bit. There's
a bit of slumping with the footpath and the road.''
He said manhole covers made it difficult to achieve a
completely level surface, as did the nature of the road
Contractors dropped the level of the road where possible to
separate it from the footpath, and also applied reflective
paint along the road edge to make it more visible.
Mr Jarvis said despite undulations in the road, it was ''a
lot, lot better'' than before the resurfacing work.
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - None of the tickets sold for the Powerball
game Wednesday night matched all six numbers drawn, which were:
2-15-39-44-56 Powerball: 15 Power Play: 3
Players matching all five numbers and the Powerball would have won or shared the $108.3 million jackpot. The prize goes to an estimated $125 million for Saturday.
Tickets that match the first five numbers, but miss the Powerball, win $200,000 each, and there were five of those. They were sold in: Arizona, Florida (3) and Indiana.
There was one Power Play Match 5 winner in Arizona.

- " I was really impressed with how far the staff went to make my stay a wonderful one! I changed my booking when I got there from a dorm bed to a single room and they gave me a really good room with a window! Also, one of the guys helped me carry one of my heavy bags to the metro station because it was raining and I wasn't able to hold an umbrella with my two occupied hands! Would definitely recommend for the amazing staff! "

- " I stayed here for five days and I was not very happy. It is quite shabby altogether, the common room is basically just a small area between front door and reception. The room was was damp but okay clean. On my last day, one of the new employees was caught stealing a guests backpack. The lock to my locker could be removed (ripped off) without any effort, so my things were not safe. Not to recommend. "

- " Good hostel. Clean, safe and good atmosphere. A bit far from the action. "
- 23 Aug 2015 Anonymous Canada
- " We had a wonderful time at Blue Mountain Hostel. The steamed bun place next door is a must for breakfast. The staff was very friendly and helpful. It was a little seedy walking up the stairwell, but when you get to the main floor of the rooms, everything was nice and neat. We stayed in a private room. It was comfortable and met our needs. "
- 23 Aug 2015 Sarah USA
- " I didn't stay very long, but the short time I was there I enjoyed the city and the hostel was nice. The only issue I had was that the directions weren't 100% clear and I was lost for a little while but a nice elderly Chinese couple happily showed me the way :) 4.5 stars out of 5. "

I would like to be able to swap the menu on my wordpress website when viewing it at a particular resolution. This is because people viewing on a mobile will have different priorities to those on a computer, but also some pages may not be optimised for mobile, so the choice to serve a mobile optimised one in it's place in the menu would be idea.
The website in this case is http://eatononline.co.uk/ but it would be a useful thing to know how to do ongoing.
I'm comfortable using ftp and the wordpress admin editor to edit php and css when directed.

My work computer is relatively new (Intel i7) but is unfortunately on a Windows XP load. I do the bulk of my work inside a Windows 7 VM using Citrix so I typically have one monitor for XP and the other dedicated to the VM.
About ten times a day, the mouse cuts out for roughly 30 seconds which, while annoying, I can deal with. However, usually 2-3 times a day both the mouse and keyboard stop functioning. The mouse cursor cannot be moved and key presses don't register. The num lock light blinks intermittently for a short period of time while pressing the caps lock/scroll lock buttons don't seem to toggle their respective lights. Eventually the num lock light turns off and the mouse laser turns off as well. Unplugging/plugging doesn't seem to have an effect and even plugging in a different keyboard after this happens won't get you a working keyboard.
- Both the mouse and keyboard are wired (USB)
- Applications still function while this is going on
- It only seems to happen mid-mouse move (i.e. I never leave my computer to find it in this state)
- Many other coworkers have the same machines/load and this is the first time someone's had this problem
- Pretty sure I'm the first person to use this machine/load - it's only been about 2 months
I've done a lot of work with computers and this is the first I've seen something like this. I'm not sure if the VM is trying to grab a hold of the inputs and something triggers it into this state or what. I can't get much work done without using having the VM up so I haven't tested if this would happen without it - just wondering if anyone's seen something like this.

Adventures in Finding a BabysitterWhit Honea
We don't get out much. Sure, we do our fair share of family outings, but my wife and I don't do a lot of date nights. In fact, the closest we ever come to quality time for us is dropping the kids in the ball crawl at IKEA while we shop for furniture we can't pronounce. And they said romance was dead.
While I would love to tell you that our tendency to take family adventures is based on some perfect painting of parenting, it is actually rooted more in our glaring lack of childcare options. We don't have a sitter and we can't seem to find one.
In a pinch we would be able to call upon our friends in the area, but they have kids, too, and adding two more until midnight on a Tuesday isn't really the best way to keep said friendships intact. Also, on the rare occasion that we are doing something fun (we're going to a concert in a few weeks for my birthday, more to follow) then it is likely that our friends will be with us, which means we all need a sitter.
It used to be, back in my day when every walk was uphill and pants went over one's boxer shorts, that neighborhood teens were always looking to make a few bucks. They would leap at the opportunity to make five dollars an hour while locking braces with some other pimply faced kid on my parents' couch after putting us to bed full of fish sticks, threats, and ice cream sandwiches.
These days we are surrounded by teenagers, but they don't care about extra cash—they have ATMs for parents and dates on the Internet. Watching our kids while my wife and I do whatever the hell it is that grownups do when they leave the house cannot compete.
Babysitting, something that was once a real community connection, has now gone viral, and it appears that we are forced to go corporate and utilize one of the online services established to assist parents like us. Instead of getting references over a fence we are reading bios and Facebook pages. Instead of knowing a babysitter for years we might know them for minutes. I know, they are vetted, but so was Sarah Palin, and we all know how that ended. I'm just not sure how comfortable I am with the process, and I would love to hear feedback from those of you that have used an online sitting services.
Also, can anyone watch my dogs this weekend?
Read more from Whit Honea at his site Honea Express and the popular group blog DadCentric. You can follow Whit on the Twitter or Pinterest (his opinions are his own and do not reflect those of Babble or most rational people).
A recent poll commissioned by Sittercity.com found that when it came to hiring a babysitter, only seven percent of women said they would not hire a "hot" babysitter. This should come as no surprise because, though it a time-worn cliche that moms are threatened by good looking sitters, the truth is that we would hire ANYONE as long as they could take good care of our kids. In fact, I would hire a clone of Mike's crush, Kate Winslet, if I felt she could take good care of Annie, but the irony is that Mike probably wouldn't! (more…)

DHS Analysis Finds That 287(g) Program Is a Big, Fat Flop

There is an iconography of Robert Frank's work, that is undeniable.
His book, The Americans, was shot in the 1950's by way of a Guggenheim grant, and showed us a side of America that existed, but was not the mainstream imagery. The book changed the look of photography, forever.

It's all on the screen in our hands, or on the desk.
How do you enhance your living environment, once you raise your eyes?
William Wegman with a hanging Doodles Man
Your walls not only reflect your tastes, but should evoke a response from you on an almost daily basis.
The height you hang your images from: eye level? higher?
Where are you sitting when you are looking at them?
Someone taught me long ago a way to hang the art in your home.
When you walk in the door, what do you see? It's a statement of you. Pleasant, provocative, nebulous, whatever, it's the first greeting for you, and your guests.
The where does the eye go?
Scan your home and see what catches you first. Hallway? A peek into another room? Does an image in another room grab you to enter that room and see what else may be there?
Then of course, what happens when you are settled in a main living area. What does your eye get to scan and enjoy? Hopefully your choice of images, either let you continually see new things, or delivers a gentle emotion to put you in a certain frame of mind.
Too deep? It is way more subtle than I'm bringing out here. Of course, I've found that the special images must remain out of any direct light so fading is not an issue. Some of those gems stay in the hallway, only to be glimpsed going in or out of a room. You have to make a point to stop and enjoy, but it almost ensures you never tire of it.
There is one image that now hangs in my bathroom, directly opposite my shower. the door is awesome open so there is never any steam or fog.
This image greets me every day, as I step out of the shower.
By Jacob Aue Sobol, this image was purchased in the last Magnum yearly square image sale. not expensive, but signed original. $100.
Still has layers I am trying to decipher. And enjoy it every day.
Price isn't the point.
Enjoying the beauty and complexity of photography, is.
There are a few black easels in my place, from Aaron Bros, that have clean lines, and allow me to change out images at will, without the wholesale revise of the wall arrangements.
I encourage you to curate your walls. And then change them every year.
Screens are cool, books are nice, but a print on the wall is pure enjoyment.
This is not an ad for any gallery, but an encouragement to get your images off of a screen, and into the light where it belongs.
Sure, Star Wars: The Force Awakens was shot in Film.
So was Hateful 8. And people are buying turntables again. And vinyl has been on the rise for awhile.
What is going on?
A return to analog is creeping back into our digital lives.
But why?
Has there been enough pixels and cloud stored images? Is there a desire to experience the warmth and imperfections of the analog mediums? Everyday I read about photographers retiring to, or supplementing their shooting with film cameras.
On the flip side of 360º video and VR markets, comes the old yellow stalwart Kodak, with a return to the past glory of a Super 8 Film Camera:
"You Press the Button, and We Do the Rest" was the selling point of Kodak Brownie in 1889.
And the came the home movies, with the same promise of ease.
The new Super 8 model has an LCD screen, and will take an SD to record your audio.
You pay for a cartridge, send it to Kodak and get back the processed film and a digital scan of the footage.
What you donut get, for everyone used to video cameras, is the audio tied to the visual.
That's right, you have to sync the audio in post.
I you are a hobbyist, that is part o the charm.
If you are a student, that is part of your learning process.
If you are a general user, you will have to sync your audio files, which may be more than a lot of folks want to do.
The whole idea here has a throwback feel, and a kitsch factor that will appeal to many. The wait time to see your results?
Hmmmm… we'll see if buyers are truly ready for that.
Does shooting analog make you a better image maker, slow you down to be more thoughtful, or have a look that no algorithm can reproduce?
(photo album of CES 2016 here)
I like to think of CES as a film festival.
The majors come out with a lot of glitz & glamour, plus loud fanfare and pretty packaging dressing it all up. The press releases will tout only the best parts, just like what surrounds any large scale movie release.
If the movie or product doesn't make it, the company/studio, stays in business, and move on to more R&D, and market research.
On the flip side, are the folks/small manufacturers that mainly populate the Eureka Park venue, a little more out of the way in the Sands Hotel.
Like an indépendant filmmaker, these small manufacturers or designers that get a booth here, put it all on the line. Could be a fun, leisure item, or a life improvement product. The Indie filmmakers have a story to tell, whether it's a doc, or comedy, that they needed to self or crowd fund.
The press isn't massive and pervasive, the booths/theaters aren't the big and glitzy mainstream affairs. The scrappy, start-ups have a dream, an idea, work their tails off, use life savings, and bring a product to market in the hope that it will take off.
They can't afford to bring in the big stars to promote, but the idea/concept may be revolutionary. Or maybe just hit upon a common need or chord that has an audience.
If the innovation product/independent film doesn't find it's audience, all could be lost: the money borrowed, the man hours invested, and the lifeblood of attention will have a major effect on the creator.
With almost 90% of the start-ups not making it, the risk is huge, and everything on the line.
Like an independent film, exposure is what you need at a trade show or film festival, so you attract users/investors/distributors.
And the hope that once you go to market, there is success and yo find that audience..
The major brands can sustain a loss, the smaller inventors could face ruin. Pretty risky business.
On the more positive side, that risk can turn into huge rewards for the small innovator.
I'll never forget being at a press preview for masses of new products, and 2 action cams were making their first public debut: The Contour Camera and the GoPro.
The Contour was sleek, cylindrical, sexy, beautiful packaged and innovation.
The GoPro was a simple little box. A guy was walking around with one on his chest, and one on a helmet. It was not the most elegant display.
jan 11. 2010
But it was an obviously a better designed product and the shape helped.
As we all know now.
And then there was the FitBit. These folks were in a press preview room, with the promise of the scale coming (took a few years) and their data tracker was more of a smooth small stone that was easy to use, easy to lose, and killed the Jawbone Up bracelet. And the success of this company is renown.
You never know what you may see.
Other categories to watch: As people have realized that shooting video on a small camera like a phone, results in crappy, shaky, video. So the rush is on for stabilization.
This small company, Vimble, had a simple booth, one person, and a demo unit pulled out of a shoulder bag. But the guy knew his product, it worked as promised, and I look forward to seeing it come to market.
The was a company called Icaros, mentioned in an earlier post, playing on the VR craze, built a rig to hold a person, and let them experience the sensation of flying like Superman through the use of VR goggles and software.
And then there are the items you want to use right now. Simple perhaps, but incredible useful.
Like Blink, an IOT (internet of things) battery operated security camera, that you can control and view video from your smartphone.
I want to use this in my hotel room right now!
Or ThinOptics reading glasses. Yep, I need readers and these have an awesome. tiny, lightweight, design. Yes, this is not their 1st time at CES, but perhaps looking for more exposure or distribution.
And yes, they slip into a protective case on my iPhone. Genius!
Next year, I would recommend spending a good day in this start-up area to see what could be coming down the road. Get a close up look at some hard work and perseverance.
I have to applaud these companies, as I am aware of what it took to get to where they were: the trade show floor of CES!
Now they just have to see if the marketplace wants what they are selling.
Always a gamble.
Coming up this month is the Sundance Film Festival as well. I'm sure that a lot of the technology we have been seeing the past couple of years has enabled many small film makers to tell their stories and get it on the screen in Park City.

Thinking of Buying
Okay, I'm thinking of buying this game, as well as the first Bad Company, so I'm wondering if it's worth it. From what I can tell, it looks very fun, and it looks very realistic. I think I could really get into the Battlefield series (as I hold some sort of unfathomable contempt for Call of Duty games).
How's the online play and servers? Are there still a lot of people playing this game, or has everyone moved over to Battlefield 3? I've heard a lot of great things about this game like the heavy team-oriented style of playing, the bullet drop, and I heard the single player campaign was really good.
Would this and the first Bad Company be good games for me to get into, seeing as that I'm extremely new to the war first-person shooter genre? I've only ever played the Battlefield 3 Beta demo and the free demo of the first Bad Company. However, I really love them.
I'm also wondering, if I get this game, should I bother getting the first Bad Company? I know this game is a big improvement on BF: BC, but would it still be worth it?
Thank you for any and all future responses; they'll be greatly appreciated.

Sierra Madre Occidental Pine-oak Forests Habitat
This taxon is found in the Sierra Madre Occidental pine-oak forests ecoregion, which boasts some of the richest biodiversity anywhere in North America, and contains about two thirds of the standing timber in Mexico. Twenty-three different species of pine and about 200 species of oak reside within the Sierra Madre Occidental pine-oak forests ecoregion.
Pine-oak forests here typically grow on elevations between approximately 1500 and 3300 meters, and occur as isolated habitat islands in northern areas within the Chihuahuan Desert. Soils are typically deep, where the incline allows soil build-up and derived from igneous material, although metamorphic rocks also form part of the soils in the west and northwest portions of the sierra. Steep-sloped mountains have shaped some portions of the Sierra, while others are dominated by their deep valleys, tall canyons and cliffs. These steep-sided cliffs have thinner soils limiting vegetation to chaparral types; characterized by dense clumps of Mexican Manzanita (Arctostaphylos pungens), Quercus potosina and Netleaf Oak (Q. rugosa). There are also zones of natural pasture, with grasses from the genera Arisitida, Panicum, Bromus and Stevis.
The pine-oak forests gradually transform into an oak-grassland vegetative association. Such communities represent an ecological transition between pine-oak forests and desert grasslands.. Here, species such as Chihuahuan Oak (Quercus chihuahuensis), Shin Oak (Q. grisea), Q. striatula and Emory Oak (Q. emoryi), mark a transition zone between temperate and arid environments, growing in a sparse fashion and with a well-developed herbaceous stratum resembling xeric scrub. Cacti are also part of these transition communities extending well into the woodlands. Some cacti species such as the Little Nipple Cactus (Mammillaria heyderi macdougalii), Greenflower Nipple Cactus (M. viridiflora), Mojave Mound Cactus (Echinocereus triglochidiatus), and Leding's Hedgehog Cactus (E. fendleri var. ledingii) are chiefly centered in these biotic communities. The dominant vegetation in the northernmost part of the ecoregion in the Madrean Sky Islands includes Chihuahua Pine (Pinus leiophylla), Mexican Pinyon (P. cembroides), Arizona Pine (P. arizonica), Silverleaf Oak (Quercus hypoleucoides), Arizona White Oak (Q. arizonica), Emory Oak (Q. emoryi), Netleaf Oak (Q. rugosa), Alligator Juniper (Juniperus deppeana), and Mexican Manzanita (Arctostaphylos pungens).
This ecoregion is an important area for bird richness and bird endemism. Likewise, virtually all of the ecoregion is included in the Sierra Madre Occidental and trans-mexican range Endemic Bird Area. Endemic bird species include the Thick-billed Parrot (Rhynchopsitta pachyrhyncha EN) which is in danger of extinction, with population estimates as low as 500 pairs; the Tufted Jay (Cyanocorax dickeyi NT), Eared Quetzal (Euptilptis neoxenus NT) and the Green-striped Brush Finch (Buarremon virenticeps). Temperate and tropical influences converge in this ecoregion, forming a unique and rich complex of flora and fauna. Many other birds are found in this ecoregion including the Green Parakeet (Aratinga holochlora), Eared Trogon (Euptilotis neoxenus NT), Coppery-tailed Trogon (Trogon elegans), Grey-breasted Jay (Aphelocoma ultramarina), Violet-crowned Hummingbird (Amazilia violiceps), Spotted Owl (Strix occidentalis NT), and Golden Eagle (Aguila chryaetos). Some species found only in higher montane areas are the Gould's Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo mexicana), Band-tailed Pigeon (Patagioenas fasciata), Mexican Chickadee (Poecile sclateri) and Hepatic Tanager (Piranga flava).
The Sierra Madre Mantled Ground Squirrel (Spermophilus madrensis NT) is an endemic to the Sierra Madre Occidental pine-oak forests, restricted to southwestern Chihuahua, Mexico. The Mexican Gray Wolf (Canis lupus baileyi) and Mexican Grizzly Bear (Ursus horribilis), although considered by most to be extinct from this ecoregion, once roamed these mountains. Mammals also present include White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus), American Black Bear (Ursus americanus), Buller's Chipmunk (Tamias bulleri), endemic Zacatecan Deer Mouse (Peromyscus difficilis), rock Squirrel (Spernophilis variegatus), Zacatecas Harvest Mouse (Reithrodontomys zacatecae) and Coati (Nasua nasua), to set forth a subset of mammals present.
Reptiles are also numerous in this ecoregion. Fox´s Mountain Meadow Snake (Adelophis foxi) is an endemic taxon to the ecoregion, only observed at the type locality at four kilometers east of Mil Diez, about 3.2 kilometers west of El Salto, in southwestern Durango, Mexico. There are at least six species of rattlesnakes including the Mexican Dusky Rattlesnake (Crotalis triseriatus), Mojave Rattlesnake (C. scutulatus), Rock Rattlesnake (C. lepidus), Western Diamondback Rattlesnake (C. atrox), Twin-spotted Rattlesnake (C. pricei), and Ridgenose Rattlesnakes (C. willardi). Clark's Spiny Lizard (Sceloporus clarkii) and Yarrow's Spiny Lizard (S. jarrovii), Bunchgrass Lizard (S. scalaris), and Striped Plateau Lizard (S. virgatus) are several of the lizards found in the Sierra Madre Occidental pine-oak forests.
Along springs and streams the Western Barking Frog (Craugastor augusti) and the Tarahumara Frog (Rana tamahumarae) are two anuran taxa occurring in the ecoregion. Other anuran taxa found here include: Bigfoot Leopard Frog (Lithobates megapoda), Northwest Mexico Leopard Frog (Lithobates magnaocularis) and the Blunt-toed Chirping Frog (Eleutherodactylus modestus VU). The Sacramento Mountains Salamander (Aneides hardii) is an endemic salamander found in the Sierra Madre Occidental pine-oak forests, restricted to the Sacramento Mountains, Capitan Mountains, and Sierra Blanca in Lincoln and Otero Counties within southern New Mexico, USA.
Habitat and Ecology
- Terrestrial
Comments: Open coniferous forest, montane pine-oak forest, riparian woodland, lowland pine savanna; from Costa Rica southward also found in open humid forest, scrub and orchards (AOU 1983); open woodland, tall second growth, forest borders or trees in clearings (Hilty and Brown 1986). Usually nests high in conifer or deciduous tree, on outer end of branch, 4.5-15 m above ground (Terres 1980); in Costa Rica, in niche among bromeliads and other epiphytes on dead branch or dead vertical branch (Stiles and Skutch 1989).
Non-Migrant: Yes. At least some populations of this species do not make significant seasonal migrations. Juvenile dispersal is not considered a migration.
Locally Migrant: Yes. At least some populations of this species make local extended movements (generally less than 200 km) at particular times of the year (e.g., to breeding or wintering grounds, to hibernation sites).
Locally Migrant: Yes. At least some populations of this species make annual migrations of over 200 km.
Northern populations migratory, but none reach South America (Hilty and Brown 1986). Breeding populations in U.S. generally migrate south of the border after breeding, return in April-May. Costa Rica: mostly descends to lower elevations outside breeding season (Stiles and Skutch 1989).
Trophic Strategy
Comments: Forages for insects high in trees; also flys out from branch and catches flying insects. Feeds on wild grapes and cherries in late summer. Costa Rica: eats many berries and arillate seeds in addition to insects (Stiles and Skutch 1989).
Life History and Behavior
Eggs are laid May-July in north, March-May in Costa Rica. Clutch size is 3-5 in north (usually 4); 2-3 in Costa Rica (Terres 1980, Stiles and Skutch 1989).

Hepatic tanager
The hepatic tanager (Piranga flava) is a medium-sized American songbird. Formerly placed in the tanager family (Thraupidae), it and other members of its genus are now classified in the cardinal family (Cardinalidae).[2] The species's plumage and vocalizations are similar to other members of the cardinal family.
The common name hepatic means "liver-coloured", namely, brownish-red.[3] The specific name flāva is Latin for yellow or golden.
The habits of the hepatic tanager are similar to those of the western tanager.[4]
It ranges from the southwestern United States (Arizona, New Mexico, and locally in southern California and Colorado) to northern Argentina.
There are three subspecies groups, which may be separate species:
- the hepatica group, breeding from Nicaragua north, in pine and pine-oak forests and partially migratory
- the lutea group (sometimes known as the tooth-billed tanager[5]), resident from Costa Rica to northern and western South America in highland forest edges
- the flava group (sometimes known as the red tanager[5]), resident in open woods elsewhere in South America[6]
Members of the northern group are larger and stockier than other Piranga tanagers and have a relatively short tail and a stout bill. Its brightest color is always on its forehead and throat. In all plumages, it has gray flanks, dusky cheeks, and a dark eye streak. The female is yellow, and the male is red. Its average weight is 38 g (1.3 oz). Its average wingspan is 31.8 cm (12.5 in) and length is 20.3 cm (8.0 in).[4]
Its call is a low, dry chup like the hermit thrush. Its song is clearer than Thraupidae tanagers and far more similar to the song of the black-headed grosbeak, another member of the Cardinalidae. The flight call is a husky and rising weet.[4]
It looks for food in the foliage of trees, moving slowly and methodically; different individuals use different strategies. In summer, the northern form largely eats insects, spiders and some fruit. In Mexico, it has been observed to eat nectar. From Oaxaca south, it follows swarms of army ants.[6]
Even the northern population's behavior and life history are remarkably little known.[6]

Names and Taxonomy
Comments: The form occuring from the US to Northern Nicaragua is recognized by some as Piranga hepatica and the form occurring from Costa Rica through the Andes to Bolivia and across northern South America as Piranga lutea, but in this treatment are considered part of P. flava.
Mitochondrial genetic data from several studies (Burns 1997; Burns et al. 2002, 2003; Klicka et al. 2000, 2007) provide strong evidence that this genus, previously placed in the Thraupidae, is a member of the Cardinalidae.

I am creating a test server that is vulnerable to the heartbleed bug.
My server is running Apache 2.4 on a FreeBSD VM. By default, FreeBSD seems to have OpenSSL 0.9.8 installed by default. I tried to uninstall OpenSSL from the ports, but since I didn't install it via ports( came by default ) I could not uninstall it that way.
Then I tried to just ignore it and installed OpenSSL 1.0.1 from source; but when I restarted the apache server, and checked the site using
curl --head 127.0.0.1 "OpenSSL 0.9.8" was displayed.
Then I tried to reinstall/reconfigure apache but the same test yielded "OpenSSL 0.9.8".
So, I tried to replace the default OpenSSL like so:
- installed a newer OpenSSL via ports( in an attempt to replace the default version )
- make uninstall-ed the port-installed OpenSSL( in an attempt to erase the default OpenSSL completely )
- with my source-install the only one left, I figured that this had to have changed it
- the test still yielded "OpenSSL 0.9.8"( sadness )
So, why is it still displaying "OpenSSL 0.9.8"?
I also want to change the website to use OpenSSL 1.0.1, so advice on that would be helpful.

Fun but frustrating to endure 30 second videos!
This is a fun game and I've been playing it for years. Now however, once you feel like you're in a groove, you have to endure a full 30 second video advertising another game app to download. Didn't ask for this and there isn't a reward per se for having to watch this ad and there's no way to abort the launch of the ad...if you stop the game without watching the video, you unfortunately do not get that particular games talley of zombies killed or miles driven.
I love this game, I learned a cool trick that if you tap on the scroll button and select at the same time it can select the car you haven't unlocked, and you can use it for one run only. You can keep doing it over to keep using it, it's kinda a one run thing because you have to do it, but not really. It also takes up a lot of my time.
Best game I have ever had 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
This is a extremely good game it's free all the weapons are free or you could buy them to use them quicker but the graphics are good it's not glitchy like other zombie shooting games and it's a pretty good game to play at anytime because you don't need wifi unless you whant to buy a weapon with real money anyway this a really good app and I enjoy it
