Westbury Babies R Us robbery, 14th in spree, prompts stepped-up patrols, police say
Nassau County police are stepping up patrols around retail stores with plainclothes and other special unit officers in an effort to catch a lone masked gunman who since August has made off with at least $13,000 in 14 holdups across Long Island.
"We're extremely concerned about this robbery pattern," Det. Lt. Richard Lebrun, commanding officer of Nassau's Public Information Office, said Monday. "We have dedicated a large amount of resources to patrolling in areas that he might hit again. . . . Hopefully we get some tips and no one gets hurt."
The suspect often has used zip ties or handcuffs to bind customers and workers, and forced employees to open safes or cash registers, police said.
The latest robbery happened Monday morning when the masked gunman forced his way inside a Westbury Babies R Us, police said.
The holdup added to a tally that includes eight stores in Nassau and six in Suffolk since Aug. 20, police said. In each robbery, witnesses described the suspect as a man wearing a black mask and dark clothes and carrying a black handgun.
No one has been hurt in the robberies, but police urge the public and retail employees to be on alert — and to comply with any robbers' demands.
The thief has gotten away with between $800 and $5,200 during each robbery in Nassau, police said.
Suffolk police declined to say how much the robber has netted.
Anyone with information can call Nassau County Crime Stoppers anonymously at 800-244-8477.

Deepika Padukone is a standout amongst the most capable performing artists in Bollywood.
She is right now preparing for her Hollywood presentation. DP will be found in the third portion of the famous "xXx" establishment inverse Vin Diesel.
Deepika, who has been shooting for the film in Toronto since the previous two months will be seen trying the character of Serena Unger, a huntress in the motion picture.
Pictures from the sets have been doing the rounds since the time that the shoot started and have been making our hold up troublesome.
New stills from the most recent day of the shoot are out and Deepika looks hot as ever. Wearing a biker suit collaborated with a calfskin coat, boots and hair tied in a bun, the 'Bajirao Mastani' on-screen character looks shocking and wild in the meantime. 'xXx: The Return of Xander Cage' is expected to release on January 20, 2017.

good review as always
Album Rating: 3.5^hahahaha
based on your pie chart, perhaps not.
Album Rating: 3.0Good review as ever Eric, I found this to be fairly nondescript, though.
Review did its job, but IMHO what this review really needs is about two more lines describing individual songs; this is really all we get:
Where Lights Out truly shines is in its ability to portray the duo's perfect chemistry via fascinatingly stripped down songs. Costelloe and Underwood's unabashed, unfiltered, and truly unflinching sincerity compels the listener to become lost in the nostalgic but ever-present drift. 'Locked Up' is but one example of just how well-suited the two are to make music together, with a lone distant guitar yielding to the duo's on-point voices and building into the final lyric of "I'm a mess / I'm a wreck / But you wouldn't know 'cause I'm at my best when with you." Or take 'Talk', the quintessential confessional of cavernous secrets and unprofessed feelings between lovers - the track recalls the insecurity of relationships with incredible accuracy, honesty, and accessibility.
The rest is just grounding and backing information. My humble two cents.
Album Rating: 3.5uh well yeah Irv don't you know that music reviewing in general is just a guise to talk about how good John Travolta looked in his black Spandex in Grease?
You're absolutely right, and as always I appreciate the constructive criticism. cheers

A question for TOMOS about midgesAnything goes in The Snug, the GD's rebellious little brother. An off-topic den of iniquity for non-football/news related musings.

A question for TOMOS about midges
Hello TOMOS, I'm going to Morar for a few days in September. Is it likely to be very midgey then?
And (anyone else as well) got any good suggestions for repellents etc?
Here in Greece I use anything with IR3535 in it and it's effective, otherwise I get bitten to buggary...
Re: A question for TOMOS about midges
Good Morning -
Funnily enough I was in Morar last Tuesday and around a month ago , before the school holidays started in Scotland , both days were warm , especially last Tuesday [ 18th July ] when it was very hot by our standards , on both days there wasn't a midgie in sight so on both occasions we enjoyed a great day out at the beach [ Camusdarach where Local Hero was filmed ] .
The midgie season starts at the end of May and goes on until past September I'm afraid - you won't see or feel any in October onwards .
There are two anti-midge sprays / creams that I would recommend , they both work but be careful not to get them in your eyes [ all three of them ] .
' Smidge ' is what we now use - it's a spray and you don't need much of it , the other is an Avon product called ' Skin So Soft ' which started off as a ladies' skin softening cream but is now used by the Royal Marines as a midge repellant - both work well , do not bother with anything else as they're a waste of time .
Days and times when midgies are at their worst - after it's been raining followed by a weak sun , still days when the wind isn't blowing much [ you'll be fine on Morar beach with a good sea breeze ] and evening time [ unless it's very windy ] .
Anything else I can help you with don't hesitate to ask .
Enjoy your holiday - Morar is lovely and Mallaig is a friendly port where you can catch the Ferry over to Skye [ get in touch and I'll buy you a pint ] , if you're coming by car then visit Arisaig , it's a very pretty village with a single track road leading to a beautiful peninsula [ Rubh ] - great walking .
Re: A question for TOMOS about midges
Thanks for the prompt reply TOMOS...I last visited Camusdarach in 1977 and I'm hoping you can still pick wild raspberries! That of course was before the new road from Fort William. Looking forward to it all and thanks for the info..definitely try the Smidge.
I also reckon I met Bill Forsyth working behind the bar of the Morar Hotel, saving up to get money to make films!
Re: A question for TOMOS about midges
Mordor (from Sindarin Black Land and Quenya Land of Shadow) was the region occupied and controlled by Sauron, in the southeast of northwestern Middle-earth to the East of Anduin, the great river.
Mordor has three enormous mountain ranges surrounding it, from the north, from the west and from the south. The mountains both protected the land from an unexpected invasion by any of the people living in those directions and kept those living in Mordor from escaping
Three sides of Mordor were bounded by mountain ranges, arranged in a rough rectangle: the Ered Lithui (translated as 'Ash Mountains') on the north, and the Ephel Dúath (literally, "Fence of Shadow") on the west and the south. In the northwest the pass of Cirith Gorgor led into the enclosed plain of Udûn. Sauron built the Black Gate of Mordor (the Morannon) across the pass, joining the Towers of the Teeth, two earlier guard towers built by Gondor to keep a watch on this entrance. The passage through the inner side of Udûn into the interior of Mordor was guarded by another gate, the Isenmouthe. Outside the Morannon lay the Dagorlad or Battle Plain.
In the interior within this mountainous border lay Sauron's main fortress Barad-dûr, the arid plateau of Gorgoroth, and Mount Doom. To the east lay the plain of Lithlad. A narrow pass led through the Ephel Dúath, guarded by Minas Morgul (earlier Minas Ithil). A higher, more difficult pass, Cirith Ungol, just to the north, was guarded by a tower originally built by Gondor. This pass, "the pass of the spider", was also blockaded by Torech Ungol, the lair of the giant spider Shelob. The fortress Durthang lay in the northern Ephel Dúath above Udûn.
Núrn, the southern part of Mordor, was less arid and more fertile. Streams here fed the salt Sea of Núrnen. Sauron's slaves farmed this region to support his armies.
Inside the Ephel Dúath ran a lower parallel ridge, the Morgai, separated from the Ephel Dúath by a narrow valley that Frodo and Sam followed northward after escaping from Cirith Ungol. Water trickled into this vale from the Ephel Dúath, and the text describes it as a "dying land not yet dead". The vegetation included "low scrubby trees", "coarse grey grass-tussocks", "withered mosses", "great writhing, tangled brambles", and thickets of briars with long, stabbing thorns. The fauna included maggots, midges, and flies marked with "a red eye-shaped blotch".
Re: A question for TOMOS about midges
Have used this stuff and have to say it does tend to work. You just have to make sure you put it everywhere.
Re: A question for TOMOS about midges
Most camping shops and some local shops will probably stock skin so soft. I was up near Applecross one September and nothing worked. My head was in a constant cloud of midges but that was on a campsite with boggy land and trees etc. Basically midge heaven. If it's damp and warm it can be bad but if it's a bit breezy or fairly open you can be fine.
Re: A question for TOMOS about midges
The stuff we get here in Greece is called Apaisyl and contains IR3535, works as well as DEET but non toxic to humans. Weird that I can't find it on Amazon uk...?
Thanks for the help all and please send more drugs PF
I went fishing on Loch Morar once and had to chain-smoke Old Holborn for three hours to keep the bastards away.
Re: A question for TOMOS about midges
Interesting. The wife and I tried this stuff (Skin so soft) the other night in rural west france because she is breastfeeding and thus it is 'allowed'
Stupidly we left the shutters/ window open by accident and got absolutely bitten alive. Face, back, arms, ankles. You name it. Huge lumps. Probabky thr worst I have ever had in one night.
Maybe we hadn't applied it properly but found it completelt and utterly useless on this occasion
Re: A question for TOMOS about midges
This thread disgusts me. I have met a few midgets in my life and found them all to be very pleasant. I don't know what the problem is?
Re: A question for TOMOS about midges
You just wait till they get in your ears. worse than Gibraltar apes
Re: A question for TOMOS about midges
I find DEET is more effective as even if you miss parts the mossies tend to steer clear. But the Avon stuff seemed to work in Borneo but not in Thailand where I got bitten to buggery.
Weirdly they seem to like me as I've got older. I've even tried eating copious amounts of Marmite but that didn't work.
Re: A question for TOMOS about midges
I can only add that the best anti bite spray I have come across is an Australian product called 'RID'.
Comes in a red spray can and works well on me....and I get bit by everything.
Re: A question for TOMOS about midges
I'm glad it's not just me the little bastards target. Anywhere we go they seem to find me although using that Avon stuff does help, as does taking a daily tablet of high dose vitamin B complex.
After that it is high level deet spray
Re: A question for TOMOS about midges
Forget about potions and the like.
This is all you'll ever need.

Re: A question for TOMOS about midges
Citornella Oil
Dab around neck, wrist and ankles.
Do not put on willy, he does not like it.
Re: A question for TOMOS about midges
I suffer badly from them. Don't believe people who say they only live in the West Coast or the Highlands. Anywhere near fresh water or hedges on a still sunny day or warm evening. They get through the thickest layers of clothing. I've tried everything and not even Skin So Soft works 100%. That doesn't repel them, just seems to attract them then drown them in a thick greasy puddle.
The only thing that really works for me is B12 and yeast tablets taken daily from February to November. Makes you constantly smell of piss but keeps the midges away.

A Marshmallow World lyrics
It's a marshmallow world in the winter
When the snow comes to cover the ground
It's the time for play, it's a whipped cream day
I wait for it the whole year round.
Those are marshmallow clouds being friendly
In the arms of the evergreen trees
And the sun is red like a pumpkin head
It's shining so your nose wont freeze.
The world is your snowball, see how it grows
That's how it goes whenever it snows
The world is your snowball just for a song
Get out and roll it along
It's a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts
Take a walk with your favorite girl
It's a sugar date, what if spring is late
In winter it's a marshmallow world

Heroes and Villains

Totally not formalized, yet, but I have ideas. A Skype call then a podcast? I dunno.
So I'm finally getting around to reading Let the Right One In, by Swedish novelist John Ajvide Lindqvist. I positively adore the film, and have placed it on my top ten all time "horror" flicks. (Though I am a genre enthusiast, I treat horror cinema like I do heavy metal — so much of it is just atrocious, but the .01 percent that's worthwhile has made an indelible impact on yours truly.)
I basically just started LTROI, so if any of our readers wants to snag a copy and beat me to the finish line, we can maybe discuss it here. Keep in mind that I typically read ten books at once (almost exclusively nonfiction), so I may fall behind. But I like this story so much that I figured I'd put it out there.
So far, the book version on LTROI is quite bit different than the movie, but in a highly complimentary way. The film centered largely on the spookily endearing relationship between young Oskar and Eli, which had enough implied ambiguity for the audience to fill in the blanks with their own childhood projections. The novel is far more explicit in its theme, which, as far as I can detect at this early stage in my reading, is predation in all forms. Lindqvist's original work is far less romantic than the film it inspired. for sure. Even Oskar — a character with whom the film wants the audience to identify — is fairly unsavory. It's this messiness that imbues the book with something more than the Bergman-goes-vampire feel of the flick.
It will be "interesting" to see if the American remake of the Swedish film delves deeper into the book. If they somehow manage to make it not suck, it could be another interesting interpretation of the source material — perhaps more literal than Tomas Alfredson's chillingly vague take. I am keeping any hopes in check, however, particularly due to the useless title change for the US version, Let Me In. Apparently, they're setting it in Reagan-era Colodado. I would've preffered Bush I-era Schenectady. Just that much fucking bleaker.
I'm in, as long as this is a book club with accountability. I have joined far too many that fizzle out into a collection of James Patterson and Dan Brown readers.
Keep in mind we'll be reading in the Queen's English, Mr. trilingual!
[…] I previously mentioned, I'd most recently been reading Let the Right One In — an unusual vampire novel by Swedish […]

In addition, special guest presenter, Dr. Eric Bogatin, will present a segment on "Power Distribution Network (PDN) Design for Low EMI".
Day one is crucial to understanding the day two presentation, as it will also include demonstrations of many of the basic product design principles.
We'll continue with ESD and system design, followed up with practical, low-cost, tools and techniques that can be used for pre-compliance measurements as well as troubleshooting EMC problems in a more formal setting. We'll demonstrate several probing and analysis techniques that will help identify EMC issues quickly. Several actual case studies will also be described.
This course is a must for technicians, engineers, managers, or anyone tasked with the job of getting a product through EMC compliance testing.

As the retro-gaming trend continues apace, Namco has delved into the nether regions of its arcade back catalog and come up with a mostly forgettable package. Presented here for your retro amusement are Super Pac-Man, Xevious, Mappy, Grobda, DragonBuster, and Gaplus. Having trouble recognizing most of these? There's a reason for that. Most of these should've never been brought back from the aracdes.
Of course, everyone remembers Pac-Man, but by the time Super Pac-Man had come out, the Pac-franchise had pretty much run its course. Sure, you get to become invincible and huge, but the control is extremely difficult at such an enlarged size. Just be glad Namco opted not to include Pac-Land. Ugh. Namco's other popular videogame series, Galaxian, had also been stretched pretty thin by the time Gaplus (also known as Galaga 3) came out. Little variation is brought to the game, with the notable exception of your ship's ability to capture hapless aliens and make them shoot at your side.
The one glaring exception to this otherwise weak collection is Xevious, a mighty game in its own right. Reportedly the first game ever to feature rendering, Xevious perfected the vertical scoller and spawned a million imitations. So it really comes down to this: how much do you like Xevious? Because when you compare the other five games to Xevious, you're pretty much paying for one great game and a bunch of other stuff, including the museum (and its unfortunately long load times). Xevious anybody?

Rise Above the Mark Trailer (2012)
"The next great ambition in public education, Rise Above the Mark, aims to make the United States a world leader once again." 12 December 2012 Factual 65 mins
The purpose of Rise Above the Mark, narrated by Peter Coyote, is to educate the general public about the "corporate takeover" of Indiana public schools and what parents, community members and educators can do to protect their local public schools. Legislators are calling the shots and putting public schools in an ever-shrinking box. WLCSC Board of School Trustees and Superintendent of Schools, Rocky Killion, want to secure resources and legislative relief necessary to achieve the school district's mission of creating a world-class educational system for all children. The school district's strategic plan will introduce a model of education that puts decision making back into the hands of local communities and public school teachers, rather than leaving it in the hands of legislators and ultimately lining the pockets of corporations.

The Stone Gods is a 2007 novel by Jeanette Winterson. It is mainly a post apocalyptic love story concerned with corporate control of government, the harshness of war, and the dehumanization that technology brings, among other themes. The novel is self-referential, where later characters in the story find and read earlier sections of the book itself, and where certain sets of characters' story arcs repeat, particularly those of a Robo 'Sapien' named Spike and her reluctant human companion, Billie. This technique sets the book in the postmodernist genre, though it is mainly used to warn against history's tendency to repeat itself, as well as humanity's inability to learn from past mistakes, even when these mistakes repeat across history, planets, and their respective evolutionary timelines.

Lolo Is A Modern-Day Romance With A Caustic French Sensibility
February 14, 2017 — It is Valentine's Day, the perfect day for some French romance.
Lolo is a romantic comedy with a modern soul. Directed by and starring the radiant Julie Delpy, Lolo envisions the a heartfelt love affair between Violette (Delpy) a Parisian sophisticate and single mother, and Jean-René (Dany Boon), a smalltown financial-software engineer.
They have many things working against their relationship, and yet it looks like it will work out. At least until Jean-René moves to Paris and meets Lolo, Violette's spoiled son.
Bilge Ebiri of The Village Voice wrote:
"That Little Monster: Julie Delpy's comic study Lolo pits a teen against his mother's bliss"
"Julie Delpy's Lolo is a maternal horror film in the guise of a light romantic comedy, and therein lies much of its charm. Delpy plays Violette, a fortysomething single mother who has long soured on dating when, during a getaway in Biarritz, she meets Jean-René (Dany Boon), a loyal, bumbling financial-software engineer. A few deft cuts later, the two are an item, and he's moved to Paris to be closer to her. But in between them comes Violette's 19-year-old son Eloi, AKA Lolo (Vincent Lacoste). He sees Jean-René as a "big-eared hick" and finds the idea of dear, sweet mum incessantly texting and cooking for this "Biarritz bumpkin" nauseating. The boy sets out to destroy the relationship however he can: running incriminating Google searches on Jean-René's computer, lining the man's clothes with itching powder, spiking his champagne with tranquilizers.
"Lolo is a delectably monstrous creation, a figure of childhood dependence curdled into Oedipal lunacy. Lacoste, with his pursed lips and aristocratic calm, gives the kid an eerie, calculating menace; we can feel the resentment boiling within him. He tells mom that he thinks Jean-René's pretty cool one minute and confides his intentions to destroy the man to his friend Lulu (Antoine Lounguine) the next, all without breaking expression. The comic tension between the eager-to-please boyfriend and the scheming mama's boy — with loving, unsuspecting Violette caught in the middle — is beautiful, even kind of chilling.
"In previous films, like her culture-clash rom-com cycle 2 Days in Paris and 2 Days in New York, Delpy blended broadly comic setups with believable, acutely drawn characters. Here, Lolo's shenanigans and Jean-René's humiliations escalate to ridiculous levels. That can make for some jarring moments — some viewers will feel whipsawed between realism and silliness — but Delpy sells it well, thanks to her feel for how people actually live: Look at the way she uses work as an inroads into her characters' inner selves.
"Most comedies are content to treat characters' professions as blunt, monolithic shorthand: What you do is who you are. Violette is a producer of high-end fashion events, the kind attended by snooty models and designers, and we see how that bleeds into her daily life. She can be precise, obsessive judgmental, uptight … but then she'll catch herself and become gentle and apologetic. Delpy shows people in a continuum: Like most of us, they struggle, they give in, they react, they're one way one moment and then they course-correct. It all feels organic, like we're discovering her characters as they discover themselves.
"Delpy also understands how to stage a comic set piece without giving into shtick or zaniness. Maybe it costs her some belly-laughs — Lolo is a funny movie, though rarely a hilarious one — but it lends the film authenticity. At one of Violette's parties, an unwittingly drunk Jean-René goes all wobbly around Karl Lagerfeld and his entourage, and, egged on by the scheming Lolo, starts taking selfies with the designer. We cringe at even the barest contact of shoulders between our intoxicated hero and the sneering fashionistas surrounding him. But the humiliation is as much in our imagination as it is onscreen — the sign of a director in full command of her material.
"That's the good news. The (minor) bad news is that Lolo can be a bit too much. At times, you might wonder whether Delpy is trying to cram in two decades' worth of comic subgenres. Amid all the embarrassment, deadpan scheming and romance, Violette also keeps up a raunchy running dialogue with her sexed-up best friend Ariane (Karin Viard) that at its best is a refreshing portrait of grown-up female frankness, and at its worst plays like a cut-rate attempt at Sex and the City-style banter. But even there, the director understands when to pull back. We learn at one point that Jean-René is rather well-endowed. A lesser comedy would never stop mining that, eventually turning it into a wearisome, repetitive gag. Delpy uses it to inform her characters, gets a good chuckle or two out of it and then moves on to the next thing. Lolo is a fun, airy movie, but it's also unafraid of complexity."
Lolo is available on Blu-ray or DVD, or you can stream it immediately on Amazon Video.

Orange County's Largest Chevrolet Buick GMC Dealer - Featuring 1504 Cars In Stock -
Your local Orange County Buick GMC dealer in Buena Park, Simpson Buick GMC, proudly introduces the beautiful news 2016 Verano 4-door luxury sedan. We're excited about the new Verano's sleek, elegant appearance, sumptuous upscale interior, advanced technology, and proven GM performance.
Just one look at the new 2016 Buick Verano for sale in Orange County at Simpson Buick will convince you that this luxury sedan is something special. The Verano's aerodynamic sheetmetal is seductively sleek and elegant. Brilliant oversized projector-beam headlights with a translucent blue ring accent flank the Verano's signature black, vertical-finned grille that artfully flows into the Verano's long sloping hood. Buick's distinctive "ventiports" adorn the hood on either side just below the Verano's expansive windshield. An upswept beltline crease and expressive wheel arches give the Verano a graceful sense of forward motion. The Verano's sloping rear deck features an available integrated spoiler and large horizontal taillights that make a bold statement.
The 2016 Verano's superb interior defines a new level of luxury with a zealous attention to detail and uses the finest materials throughout. As Bengt Halvorson, an editor with automotive experts TheCarConnection.com says, "Inside, however, is where the Verano truly pleases, with a very upscale feel for such a small car, and luxury touches like the voice-activated IntelliLink system and a heated steering wheel… [and] one of the quietest interiors of any compact or even mid-size sedan."
And Marty Padgett, also of TheCarConnection.com, states, "Interior appointments are worthy of being compared to those of any luxury car this size. The front-wheel-drive layout grants the Verano a very spacious interior. Front seats are superb, with all-day support for a wide range of drivers, along with plenty of seat travel and headroom for the tallest drivers. Rear seats are well contoured for adults, too; the only thing that calls the Verano out as a compact is the need to compromise legroom between front and rear if there are several lanky occupants riding at once. Trunk space is large and well-shaped, and rear seatbacks fold forward nearly flat, with a wide opening."
The Verano's sumptuous interior offers available premium-grade leather seats that are rich and supple. As Mr. Halvorson noted above, the Verano's interior indeed does an excellent job of absorbing road and other exterior noises thanks to its "QuietTuning®" technology. Optional heated driver and front passenger seats, as well as an available heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel, are unexpected pleasures. Find your perfect driving position thanks to the Verano's eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat.
Take the Verano's three-spoke sports steering wheel in hand, check the four chrome-accented sports gauges, and take your technology experience to a new level. Connect like never before with standard 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot and the capabilities of OnStar®. Use GM's exclusive voice-activated Intellilink® to access your music, find destinations, and make hands-free calls with Bluetooth®-compatible smartphones. Take your music to new levels of sonic enjoyment by opting for the available audiophile-quality Bose ® Surround-Sound Audio System. You can also enjoy Internet-based streaming audio services such as Pandora®, SiriusXM® Satellite Radio and Stitcher Radio®. A large color touchscreen display provides easy control of these and many other functions, including the optional navigation feature.
Motivating the stunning 2016 Buick Verano is a 2.4-liter, direct-injection, 180-hp ECOTEC® 4-cylinder engine mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. The 2.4-liter gets an excellent EPA-estimated 32 mpg highway for extended cruising range. Move up to the more powerful ECOTEC® 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder and feel the rush of 250 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque that rockets you from 0-60 mph in just under 6.5 seconds. Moreover, the Verano Turbo handles with sporty aplomb, thanks to special sports suspension tuning and steering. Stabilitrak keeps the Verano on an even keel to keep you in confident control.
Safety is always a priority at Buick. For this reason, the new 2016 Verano is well-equipped with an impressive arsenal of advanced passive and safety features, earning it a 5-star safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The Verano comes equipped with 10 standard airbags, plus available active driver-assist safety features, such as Side Blind Zone Alert, Forward-Collision Alert, Lane Departure Warning, Rear Parking Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and a standard Rear Backup Camera.
The new 2016 Buick Verano from Simpson Buick GMC proves that smaller-sized luxury 4-door sedan just could be the perfect fit for you. As Kelly Blue Book notes, "If luxury features like a quiet ride, a comfortable interior, and plenty of high-tech options are your thing, but you don't have a lot to spend, then this small Buick might just be what you're looking for. The available turbocharged engine adds a little spice without upsetting the luxury balance."

The summer is winding down and from Newport Beach and Garden Grove to Anaheim, Fullerton, La Habra, La Mirada, Buena Park and all points in between, the groans of children can be heard reverberating throughout Orange County.
For parents and kids, setting summer fun aside and getting ready once again to hit the books can cause a lot of stress. But preparing for the first day of fall semester doesn't always have to be doom and gloom. It can be something the family looks forward to; a new educational adventure filled with possibilities.
Here at Simpson Buick GMC, your hometown Buick GMC dealership in Buena Park, California serving L.A. and Orange counties, we're all about family. So we would like to help get the new school year off to a good start with some handy tips, suggestions, and ideas for back to school.
Anxiety and nervousness are to be expected; especially if your child is new to the school. It's important for parents to be supportive, but also for kids to give themselves space to get adjusted. Most problems adjusting to school are only temporary. Encourage children to make new friends; even if it's only one. Having a buddy or reconnecting with an old friend to help navigate the new school environment can help make the transition easier.
Each teacher has their style of teaching. Some may jump right into the lesson plan while others may ease their class into the new academic year. The school may kick things off with an assembly or another school-wide activity. There are so many things to experience the first day, so let your child know that it will take time to adjust to new teachers and expectations.
It's important to feel good about how you look; especially on the first day when everyone is sizing each other up. Whether it is a new outfit or something familiar, the important thing is for your child to feel comfortable about what they are wearing. If they are wearing new shoes, have them break them in a few days beforehand.
Get your ducks in a row before the dawn of a new school day by having your child's backpack ready to go with necessary school supplies. Have all the appropriate forms, like health and contact information, prepared beforehand. Lay out the first few days of school clothes in advance.
It's a smart idea for parents to give their children at least a week before school starts to adapt to a new schedule. Begin by adjusting bedtimes and wake times to the new school schedule. Have breakfast ready on the new schedule and prepare lunches the night before.
Put up a calendar in the kitchen or another area where everyone gathers and list important dates and times for school, after-school activities, and other key information.
Many schools have an open house sometime before the start of the new school year. It's a great time to meet your child's new teachers and orient them to the campus. Show them where to locate the cafeteria, administrative offices, gym, and their locker.
Obtain a copy of the weekly lunch menu and encourage your child to make healthy eating choices, like salads, low-fat proteins, and avoiding sugary drinks. Pack healthy snacks your child can eat during recess or breaks.
The first week or two of school generates a lot of new information. It's important to establish good study and work habits right off the bat. Create a quiet place in the home that's free of distractions for doing homework. Encourage your child to plan ahead, listen attentively, and take notes. Familiarize yourself with your child's assignments and schoolbooks.
The start of the school year is a great time for your child to explore new horizons. Encourage them to join a club or sport and to participate in school activities. School is a lot of work, but it also should be fun.
These are just a few of the many things kids and parents can do to get ready for the new school year. Perhaps the most important thing to remember is that school should be an enjoyable experience. Keep a positive attitude and let your child know that you've been through it too and that you are always there for them.

I arrived on the date specified and was greeted with a cuppa by the nursing staff on N ward. Nothing was too much trouble and I was soon to feel at ease. There were three of us going for the treatment on the following day and everything was explained in full with no questions left unanswered. I cannot praise the staff highly enough from all of the radiographers, nursing staff and even the member of staff who made the tea! This department is a credit to the NHS and I will always be indebted to them. Thanks for the cool tunes during my treatment!! Thanks Matt Parsons

This was 17 percent higher than the fourth quarter in 2012. The company's operating income, on earnings excluding one-time items, rose to $4.84 billion from $4.27 billion a year earlier. This is the second consecutive year that Google crossed $50 billion in revenue, reaching $57 billion. Shares of Google closed up nearly 2.57 percent during regular trading to finish at $1,135.39. Chipotle's popularity isn't showing any signs of fading, with the Mexican food chain reporting a fourth-quarter profit and sales that beat Wall Street expectations. For the last three months of the year, the Denver-based company said sales rose 9.3 percent at locations open at least a year. By contrast, McDonald's had reported a decline of 1.4 percent for the same period. Chipotle earned $79.6 million, or $2.53 per share, for the quarter. Janet Yellen, the first woman to chair the Federal Reserve in its 100-year history, will take over the reins of the U.S. central bank on Saturday but will only formally be sworn in next week, the Fed said on Thursday. Yellen, 67, who succeeds Ben Bernanke as the Fed begins to unwind unprecedented efforts to boost the U.S. economy, will be sworn in at 9 a.m. Her main task will be to navigate the U.S. central bank's way out of its extraordinary stimulus, beginning with a further dialing down of its massive bond-buying program. The global high-yield market saw robust performance in 2013 with total returns of 7.4% in the US and 10.3% in Europe. Coupon carry combined with a low default environment drove much of the performance in our view. In the US average yields neither exceeded nor disappointed expectations ending the year close to where they began while European high yield outperformed US high yield for the second year in a row as the region finally showed signs of emerging from recession. © DailyMotion - Friday, January 31, 2014

Unanswered: data migration strategies.
Hi all,
I have a requirement to extract and migrate additional fields of data from legacy non-relational database system into the re-engineered relational database based application.
Main requirement:
1) To be able to accommodate the ever changing requirements for data from different clients; thus need a process to persist the newly required data that will avoid downtime of the system and has minimal effect system performance during client data retrival requests.
Some of the options we have are as follows but not sure which is better over the other:
2) Migrating data using the application to persist the data into the relational database.
3) Migrating data direclty into the relational database.
In this regard, are there any industry standards in place as this is a common issue in many enterprise applications.
Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your time and interest.

The legacy system has to be taken offline when RDBMS application is brought online.
Otherwise you can never turn off legacy, because you have no tested RDBMS based application.
Also, it is folly to have data entry into both system concurrently due to many data entry errors making automated comparison infeasible.You can lead some folks to knowledge, but you can not make them think.
The average person thinks he's above average!
For most folks, they don't know, what they don't know.
Good judgement comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement.

External knowledge: sharing and transfer for outsourcing relationships
International Journal of Business and Systems Research 2008 – Vol. 2, No.2 pp. 196 – 213
Abstract: This research deals with the transfer of external knowledge for outsourcing work. It is based on the interviews on cases in Finland and Thailand, and is supported by Department of Industrial Works (DIW). The DIW aims to develop policy initiatives for small and medium enterprises or SMEs competitiveness. Initially, external knowledge such as manufacturers' value is classified into either an explicit or a tacit category. The interviews are conducted. The results are individually illustrated, and grouped into common features; for example, shared databases and staff-exchange programmes. The discussion with DIW representatives shows that the findings are helpful for initiative development.
Keywords: external knowledge; outsourcing; systems view; knowledge sharing; knowledge transfer; Finland; Thailand; small and medium-sized enterprises; SMEs; competitiveness.

Akron, Ohio, assignor to American Anode, Inc., Akron, Ohio, a corporation of Delaware Application March 29, 1934, Serial No. 712,943
This invention relates to therapeutical appliances and particularly to applicators adapted for insertion into various natural bodily cavities for application of heat treatment to diseased areas 5 thereof, the heat beingsuppliedby hot water.
circulated through the applicator.
The objects of the present invention include the provision of applicators adapted especially for insertion into bodily cavities or passages such as the nasal and ear passages, the antrum, and the urethra; the provision of such applicators which shall be capable of applying heat uniformly to all areas of a diseased cavity or passage undergoing treatment; the provision of such an applicator which shall be so constructed that a stream of water or other fluid heatedto a desired temperature may be caused to flow continuously through the applicator to maintain all portions thereof at a. uniformv temperature; to
provide such an applicator which shall be some what distensible under internal pressure to provide for accommodating the applicator to fit and contact with all surfaces to be subjected to heat treatment; to provide such an applicator having integral connecting rubber tubes for conveying water or other fluid to and from the applicator; and other objects which will be apparent from the following description of the invention which will be made with reference to the accompanying 0 drawing.
Of the drawing,
Fig. 1 is an elevation of one type of applicator embodying the principles of the present invention, the walls of the applicator being broken away in places for clarity of illustration;
, Fig. 2 is a vertical section taken on line 2--2 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is an elevation of an applicator generally similar in construction to the applicator of Fig.
1, but embodying a stiffening element;
FlFig. 4 is a vertical section taken on line 44 of Fig. 5 is an elevation of a modified form of applicator embodying a stop to prevent insertion of the applicator too great a distance into a ber walls ll about 0.01 inch thick, for efllciency of heat transfer and to permit distension of the applicator under internal fluid pressure. The tubular applicator is closed at its tip end and is provided with a central integral rubber web l2 extending longitudinally of the interior of the applicator except for a short distance at the tip end, the web being integrally joined to the walls of the applicator along approximately diametrically opposed lines and thereby serving to divide the interior of the tubular applicator into two parallel channels l3, I3 communicating at the tip of the applicator and providing a continuous fluid conduit extending down one side of the applicator and up the other side. Communicating with the openings of the aforesaid two channels, are provided a pair of connecting tubes l4, l4, preferably relatively heavy rubber tubes integrally joined to the walls of the applicator to provide means for conducting water or other fluid to and from the applicator. For convenience, the tubes [4, l4 may be simply heavier and less distensible continuations of the divided tubular applicator, so constructed that the two channels diverge gradually to form the two separate tubes.
The applicator portion of the above described appliance may be inserted, for example, into a nasal passage, and water or other fluid at a desired temperature may be circulated continuously through the appliance. If the water is forced through the applicator under slight pressure, the thin walled applicator will be distended somewhat and will adapt itself to fit irregularities of the area being treated to insure uniform contact of the applicator with such areas. The possible distension is limited however by the integral rubber web which in addition to providing the two fluid channels, serves also to prevent undue distension of the applicator which might cause injury. Thus, it will be seen that the applicator provides means for applying heat of controlled uniform intensity to ortions of a human body which would be extremely difficult to reach with ordinary means for applying thermal treatments.
. The appliance of Fig. 3 is generally quite similar in construction to the appliance described above, and comprises a tubular applicator 20 closed at its tip end and having a central web 2| dividing the interior of the applicator into two channels 22, 22. To facilitate insertion of the applicator into a relatively long and restricted passage such as the male urethra, a stiffening element 23, which may be a thin strip of metal, whalebone, or equivalent material substantially as long as the applicator, is embedded in the central rubber web. Integral connecting tubes 24, 24 are provided as before for conducting water or other fluid to and from the applicator.
The appliance illustrated in Fig. 5 is designed especially for applying heat treatment to the lining of the female urethra and the passages of the ear, and comprises a tubular applicator 30, somewhat smaller in size and shorter in length, but otherwise similar to those previously described in that it is made of thin elastic rubber and has a central'integral' web 3i dividing the interior of the applicator into two channels 32, 32 which communicate with connecting tubes 33,
For limiting the distance to which the applicator may be inserted into a passage to be treated, a-stop 34 is provided at a desired point along the length of the tubular applicator. The stop 34 preferably consists of an integral circular rubber flange extending radially outward from the applicator for say /2 to 1".
In addition to the symmetrical tubular configuration of the applicators heretofore illustrated, various other shapes of applicators may be provided as required for effectively treating diseased areas of various bodily cavities of differ- For example, the appliance of Fig.
ent shapes. 6, designed especially for heat treatment of diseased areas within the antrum, comprises a thin rubber walled hollow applicator portion 40 of substantially semi-circular outline, having an integral rubber web 4| joining the sides of the applicator and extending parallel to the flat side of the semi-circular outline, thereby dividing the interior of the applicator into a long tubular channel 42 extending along the flat side of the outline up to the tip of the applicator and a larger somewhat bulbous channel or chamber 43 occupying the rounded portion of the semi-circular outline. Communicating with the openings of the two channels are provided, as before, two preferably integral rubber connecting tubes 44, 44 the tubes preferably consisting of diverging heavier eontinuations'of the divided applicator as previously described.
The appliances of this invention may be manufactured by immersing suitable forms into a liquid dispersion of rubber, preferably compounded rubber latex; in the manner described in the copending application of George L. Winder, Serial No. 717,765, flled March 28, 1934, which has now matured into U. S. Patent No. 2,053,357, granted September 8, 1936, although the present invention is by no means limited to any particular method of manufacturing the appliances.
As has been indicated, the appliances of the present invention provide means for uniformly applying heat of a desired intensity to diflicultly accessible portions of the human body. Uniform treatment is assured by circulation of the water through all portionsof the applicator and by providing for dlstending the applicator to flt the passage or cavity being treated. Water may be heated and circulated through the appliance in any convenient manner, as by means of the Elliott apparatus designed especially for that purpose, while now is available, although such auxiliary apparatus forms no part of the present invention. It is obvious that the appliances hereof may also be used, if desired, for applying cold treatments to bodily cavities, by circulating cold water or other fluid through the applicator inserted within the cavity to be treated.
Numerous modifications may be made in the appliances hereinabove described without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
I claim:
1. A therapeutical appliance adapted for insertion into a natural body cavity or passage, said appliance comprising a relatively thinwalled hollow applicator made of flexible elastic material having substantially the properties of rubber and being shaped to conform generally to the cavity or passage to be treated but being capable of distension under internal pressures for more nearly perfect conformance, a web of rubber extending substantially throughout the length of the interior of the hollow applicator but terminating short of one end thereof and having its edges integrally attached to the walls of the applicator in such manner as to limit distension of the hollow applicator and also to divide the interior of the applicator into at least two fluid channels communicating at the said end for directing a fluid stream through the applicator, and connecting tubes communicating with each of the said channels at the other end of the applicator for conducting fluid to and from the applicator, said applicator being closed except for openings communicating with the aforesaid tubes.
2. A therapeutical appliance as defined in claim 1, in which the appliance is structurally integral and consists substantially entirely of vulcanized unmasticated latex rubber.
3. A therapeutical appliance as defined in claim 1 having a stiffening element imbedded in the web.
4; A therapeutical appliance as defined in claim 1 in which the applicator is of relatively long and slender tubular configuration, said appliance comprising an integral flange extending radially outward from the tubular applicator at a point removed from the tip thereof.
5. A therapeutical appliance as deflned in claim 1 in which the appliance is structurally integral and consists substantially entirely of vulcanized rubber and in which the connecting tubes are heavier integral continuations of the divided applicator.

All of my online art classes opened up today and I am so thrilled to be continuing on with these year long adventures in creativity. It feels like such an abundance of joy. Yesterday I went to the Florence Griswold Museum in Old Lyme with a friend to see the Life Stories in Art exhibit. There were three concurrent exhibitions: paintings by Mary Rogers Williams, glass art by Kari Russell-Pool, and sculptures by Mary Knollenberg. It was not that long ago that women were not recognized as artists in their own right and with time that has changed. It is interesting to note that the mixed media art circles that I currently run in are populated mostly by women. This type of art is not usually embraced by the mainstream art community. But you know what? We don't care. We are coming together in community and we are expressing ourselves through art that is meaningful to us. We are breaking new ground and finding ourselves in the process.
Here are the classes I am taking, in no particular order:
Life Book 2015, with a lineup of 25 teachers worldwide http://www.willowing.org/life-book-2015/
Book of Days 2015 V1, art journaling with Effy Wild http://effywild.com/book-of-days/
The Documented Life Project 2015, with Art to the 5th http://www.art5academy.com/the-studio/the-documented-life-project-free
Journal52 2015, art journal workshop with Chelle Stein http://journal52.com/
Flow, 30 day journal project with Lisa Sonora http://www.lisasonora.com/
Radiant Faces, with 9 teachers including Effy Wild http://effywild.com/radiant/
And I have my own projects that I will be working on throughout the year, like canvas painting, altered card decks, ATCs, twinchies (two inch squares of art), small art quilts, and monoprinting with my new gelli plate that I got for Christmas.
This is the cover I painted for the Documented Life Project
This is the cover I painted for Book of Days
And a New Year's post would not be complete without mentioning my one little word for the upcoming year. The tradition of choosing one word to guide you throughout the year was originally begun by Ali Edwards. Here is a link to my post for the new year two years ago Grow: Word for 2013 There is no post for last year as I had taken a 9 month sabbatical from blogging, but my word then was trust. My word for 2015 is illustrated here in collage from one of my altered card decks. I chose this word to honor my feelings inside for someone special who has come into my life.

We don't dig hypocrisy; this website was built using the same techniques, skills and resources that we would apply to our customers' sites, namely our CMS Expert package. Correct - this website is actually one of our own products.
What is it for?
Vibe are here to do business, and in a rare moment of transparency for this industry, we are going to share our exact purpose with you. Vibe Pay Monthly Websites are a successful product of The Good IT Company. They exist to make The Good IT Company money. The way they do that is a little unique - being non-contract, they have to be great for our customers, or they will leave. So in order to make us money, they have to make you money. In any case, they are product which we have to sell.
Therefore, this website exists to sell as many excellent websites as possible. It's our primary form of advertising, so let's not beat around terms like "online showcase" or "web presence" - this is our online money-getter. It needs to impress, reassure, and most importantly, sell sell sell. With that in mind, we can go about designing our site.
The Design
We started the design at the beginning, with a colour scheme and a logo. We have a dark grey (#333333) for body text, and a lime green (#DFF34B or "Chartreuse Bloom) and orange (#FF9900 or "Orange"). A few things we know from the getgo: dark grey works well with any modern font and is generally far more appealing on tablets than black text, lime green text does not look good on a white background, and orange looks great with everything apart from pink - to let's avoid pink.
We decided to use the lime green in large blocks for a main feature colour, and the orange sparsely as an accent and heading font. We also threw a blue in there for extra contrasting accents, because we are hooligans.
The Philosophy
We set out knowing our strongest selling points are our prices, our no-contract or upfront fee policy, and the quality of our existing websites. So visually, we wanted this site to present as many images of our websites at the reader as possible, along with impressive complementary imagery.
We also wanted to make sure that our prices were clearly visible and unmistakable, and that the reader is always aware that they are no-contract, with no upfront fee. While we don't advocate style over function, this is a web design website, so it had to look brilliant, with every detail absolutely spot on.
The Function
In order to achieve the aim of selling websites, this site has to pull visitors in, intrigue them, and drive home exactly why they want a Vibe Pay Monthly Website. It then had to make the process of buying one as easy as possible. It had to alienate no-one; a common flaw of many over-designed websites is that the visitor feels overwhelmed, old fashioned or belittled in comparison. "Look how cool we are syndrome" is the biggest mistake that any web provider can make, and the majority are guilty of it.
For this to be achieved, we had to make information about our sites easily available, which means making text jump off the page, and using techniques like tab boxes for fast browsing, and complete navigation from the main menu. We also had to optimise the website for speed to make browsing it a pleasure. Our light-speed Vibe server (aka The Millennium Falcon) took care of that largely, but we also had to be careful about our use of images and their quality, and the amount of script-heavy gizmos we loaded onto the site, in order to keep browsing quick and easy.
As with any advanced site we build (other than Ecommerce), we opted for our most powerful platform available: Joomla K2 with all of our bespoke, juicy Vibe functions at our disposal. The next part of the story gets very technical and suitable only for those with a specific interest or far too much time on their hands, and we'll be covering all of that in our Web Developer's blog.
