A Googling juror, now humbled, began with a simple "I'm sorry" Friday.
"I'd like to apologize to you, Judge Fuente, and the court and the staff. I admitted that I violated the court's orders," said Vishnu Singh.
Singh, a technical supervisor at Bright House Networks, found himself in the crosshairs of Judge William Fuente.
"I'm going to find you to be in contempt," said Judge Fuente.
It was last summer. Jury selection was under way in the murder trial of Kenneth Ray Jackson.
Singh, like all potential jurors, was reminded over and over by Judge Fuente not to talk about or research the case.
But Singh ignored the judge's rules and Googled the case anyway. He told another juror about it and eventually it got to the judge.
"Curiosity got the better part of me. I'm aware of my mistake by doing so," said Singh.
Judge Fuente was not swayed by his apology. "When a juror such as yourself, for whatever reason -- curiosity, disrespect -- whatever the case maybe, and I take you at your word that curiosity got the best of you. I'll accept that but when you do that it causes a lot of problems."
Singh was ordered to attend jury duty for one week a month for the next three months. If he's not picked for an actual trial, he'll go to jail.
He also has to check in with Judge Fuente every month for an update.
Judge Fuente said he could have let Singh off easy, but this punishment also serves as a stern message to future jurors: "Hopefully some jurors will see this is what happens to a juror when he or she does not obey the court's order."

Mortgage Fraud Examiners is a project of Lex Consulting, LLC. For over 30 years, Lex Consulting has provided litigation support to attorneys, helping them break into new areas of practice, or providing specialized advice for complex cases requiring novel approaches to the law. Due to the recent housing crisis, Mortgage Fraud Examiners was created to provide borrowers and the legal community with comprehensive assistance to help keep them in their homes.
Part of the work we specialize in at Instant Law Partner is post-conviction relief; that is, analyzing convictions forensically for ways to overturn them. We've been doing forensic review of documents for thirty-five years, we're not some "Johnny come lately," that popped up last year claiming to do "forensic loan audits."
Moreover, attorneys, that use our services, will tell you that we are the leading authority on foreclosure defense, despite all of the blogs claiming that status. Why? Because we know what works, and what does not--period!
Why Loan Modifications Should Be Considered ONLY As a Last Resort. Cut Through All the Misinformation And Find Out What Really Works. Learn How To Engineer A Positive Outcome For Your Specific Situation. Learn Options Available To You That The News Media Isn't Telling You.
This is also due to the over appraising of homeowners' properties and the mortgage industry's pervasive carelessness, haste, and downright fraud in recent years. The industry is also plagued by companies that claim to provide a "forensic loan audit" that may help you to stop foreclosure processes but in reality those companies are simply recalculating the loan and they have no ability to affect the outcome. You already know from the news that during the refinancing craze and the real estate boom over the last decade, lenders were shoveling mortgages out the door as fast as they could. There was not much oversight and a forensic loan audit wasn't as important before that point in time. Mortgages are routinely sold multiple times, often too quickly and without proper documentation, leading to a greater legal mess. That's why a loan audit is now more important than ever. Appraisers have been complicit too. Many appraisers artificially inflate property values to help lenders justify predatory loans and receive repeat business.

Experienced Ohio Workers' Compensation and Social Security Disability Lawyers
Fighting to secure your disability benefits
Many injured or disabled workers get discouraged when their initial applications for Workers' Compensation or Social Security Disability benefits are denied.

Our 2 attorney firm is dedicated to advocating for you, the injured or disabled worker.

Our goal is to obtain compensation and medical benefits for you, the injured worker.
Maintaining a focus on financial recovery
Government disability programs are controlled by rigorous eligibility requirements and strict filing deadlines. Delays and denials of claims are not uncommon.

Attorneys Mike Vanderhorst and Kristi Burgy are committed to assisting individuals with the expeditious and accurate preparation of their claims. We work hard to help you secure the financial and medical benefits to which you are entitled. The scope of our practice encompasses:
Putting your best interests first

The West Chester Area School Board passed a resolution at April's monthly meeting asking legislators in Harrisburg to reform the state's pension system for teachers.
According to the school board, the employer contribution rate is projected to increase sharply in the next four years, jumping to 16.75% in 2013-14, to 21.25% in 2014-15, and reaching a peak of 28.04% in 2019-20.
According to the school district's business office, these jumps will lead to enormous budget deficits in the following years forcing the district to cut spending beyond the millions already cut in the last several years.
By the 2015-16 school year the district will face a $19 million deficit, and required contributions to the pension fund by the state will reach $21 million. In the 2006-07 school year, the district only paid $5.2 million to the pension fund.
According to the resolution:
…reform must reduce projected employer contribution rate increases and reduce projected costs to school districts, taxpayers and the commonwealth over the next two decades; that reform must protect those teachers, administrators, and support staff already vested in the PSERS system; and that reform must allow school districts to offer a defined contribution plan, which will offer immediate vesting and ownership by participants, and stable, consistent contributions by school boards.

A mental health hearing is scheduled this week for a Bellevue man accused of killing his girlfriend, , and his trial could start in about three months, according to a Hawaii prosecutor.
A decision will be made this week in a Hawaii court on whether Philip Howard Zimmerman can raise issues of mental health in his defense, said Joyce Seelen, deputy prosecutor of the County of Hawai'i.
Brockert, 44, of Bellevue, was pronounced dead after the assault in their hotel room at The Fairmont Orchid resort in the Kohala Coast of Hawaii. Resort workers witnessed part of the assault from outside the room and, after they kicked in the door, they said that they saw Zimmerman holding a tile that was used to strike Brockert.
Zimmerman, who has been held without bail, has been in an infirmary at the Oahu Community Correctional Center for mental health issues and for refusing to eat for the past month, Seelen said.
Seelen said that a trial date could be "three months out," but added that it was "impossible to speculate" how his defense might affect the date of the trial.
Zimmerman's attorney, public defender Peter Bresciani, declined to talk to Bellevue Patch last week about the case.
The night of May 23, a resort worker heard someone cry for help and heard banging noises coming from their room, and he climbed onto the balcony from an adjacent room,
The worker said that Brockert, who was lying on the floor, looked at him and appeared to be trying to say something when she was struck twice more with pieces of broken hotel furniture, according to Hawaii 24/7. Resort workers told the court that they broke in and found her without a pulse, and said that Zimmerman, still holding a tile that was used to strike her, locked himself in the bathroom, according to news reports.
Brockert, who was raised in Bellevue and had two children, had apparently received the trip as a 15th anniversary gift from her workplace, according to a report by Hawaii News Now.
The Hawaii News Now's report also stated that court records showed that Zimmerman, also known as Howard Philip Zimmerman, had a history of domestic violence, including against Brockert and against his ex-wife, and had made threats to the Bellevue Police Chief, the city council and other city officials.

Lowering Latency in Linux: Introducing a Preemptible Kernel
The Linux community is large and diverse, and Linux is used in embedded systems all the way through large servers. Preemptive kernel technology provides benefits beyond real-time applications. Desktop users, gamers and multimedia developers alike stand to benefit from reduced latency. A solution is needed for both the 2.4 and 2.5 kernel trees; perhaps the same solution for each is not best. With 2.5 under development, however, now is the time to implement a feature that provides an immediate gain, as well as the framework for further improvement. The result will be a better kernel.

AH! I get it now.
Hmm, this explains why some distros are slow or fast. Lunar Linux allows a Preemptiblle kernel. And it's just lightning fast without any bloat. Hmm, put this option with other distros...and perhaps...*ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM*
Just a rambling thought...anyways, this article comes in handy while deciding on kernel configuration in the unix console.. :p Keep it around!!
Thanks Robert,
nicely explained...
spinlocks in preemptible kernel
The information here is very helpful. thanks.
I have one question.
What is the effect of having kmalloc calls in the code that is protected with spinlock in a preemptible kernel.
kernel preemption
Excellent article, explains well. So that's where all kernel preemption stuff in 2.6 come from!
One question I always had was when the process is in kernel execution path (system call execution), doesn't scheduler_tick decrement its timeslice, and if it does when the timeslice is over, doesn't the scheduler preempts the current process, even though it might be in the middle of the kernel exec path?
Re: Lowering Latency in Linux: Introducing a Preemptible Kernel
It's helpful for me to understand the preemptive kernel.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Since I was traveling last week, I'm a little late putting this up. Adam at GPSVisualizer.com put together a time animation of the seismic readings of the Earthquake in Hawaii plus the aftershocks. The circles are colorized by depth and sized by magnitude. The largest being the 6.6 magnitude earthquake which made the news. Once you've loaded this Hawaii Earthquake file with Google Earth 4 (so you can see the time animation – download here if you don't have 4.0.2091 or greater), you can use the time slider gadget in the top of the screen to see the earthquake and aftershocks unfold.
Hawaii Earthquake Data in Google Earth
By the way, I should point out that even I was a little surprised at how easy it was to create this map. I just copied and pasted the table on http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsus/Maps/special/Hawaii_eqs.php (the October 15 data has been scrolled off the page by now) and changed the headers to read "xxx [tab] magnitude [tab] time [tab] lat [tab] lon [tab] depth (km) [tab] desc". That was all it took to make the data GPS Visualizer-ready.
Then, I used the "data form" (http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/map?form=data) and selected "custom field": "magnitude" for the resize parameter and "custom field": "depth (km)" for the colorize parameter. Et voila.
(In the interest of full disclosure: to create the exact KMZ file that is linked here, I actually pasted the data into Excel so I could create fancier name and description fields; but plotting, colorizing, and resizing the points took no effort.)
A Google Maps version is here, by the way: http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/maps/hawaii_earthquakes_20061015.html
Thanks for the tips on how to create this Adam. Do the time stamps get turned on by default then?
Timestamps are enabled by default in the "Quantitative data" form, which is the only form that has the options for resizing and colorizing waypoints based on fields in your data. Of course, they can be turned off if need be, by clicking "Show Google Earth options."
I figure most data entered into the data form will NOT have time info, so it's fairly safe to have the timestamps on by default.
This could be a very powerful animation type for earthquake data, kudos to Adam for showing how easy it is. However, I don't think it works here, there just isn't enough data. Its a case of 'just because we can does not mean we should', you could plot this as a map with symbols to show the depth data and colours to show the time of earthquake and it the 'story' would be apparent immediately.
I did some work on volcanoes on the Big Island, in 3 months I never felt an earthquake, the only one I've ever experienced has been in the UK, one of the most seismically quiet areas on Earth!
Well, it's easy enough, in GPS Visualizer, to take the same data and colorize it by time instead of depth. If you wanted, you could even break the depths down into a couple of different categories and use different customized icons for deep vs. shallow quakes, in which case you'd be plotting 3 dimensions at once! (5 dimensions, really, if you include latitude and longitude.)
One thing I should note, though: the file I created tells a much better "story" in Google Earth if you set it to "freeze" the beginning of the time interval. That way, the earthquakes appear one after the other and remain on the screen.
It is a great article on earthquake. We get very useful information fron this article. I have never experienced earthquake.

Unless you have young children in your family, you may not realize what an impact the scouts can have on our community. I did not either until my daughter said she wanted to join girl scouts 7 years ago. Since then, we have gone through a journey that I had not expected. I have met the most amazing young ladies who have shown a drive to make a difference in the world. I have been introduced to experiences that I would not have even thought of 7 years ago. I have grown as a parent and as a citizen.
Every family has a comfort zone that limits them from trying some new activities. My kids have been introduced to so many things that we, as a family, would not have taken the initiative to try on our own. The scouts can take our kids outside our individual family comfort zones. Through the scouts they can try an amazing variety of things to develop interests and strengths that we may never experience otherwise.
Just this year, our 566 Eagan Girl Scouts along with their 319 adult volunteers, have volunteered hundreds of hours towards activites that make our community a more enjoyable city to live in. One event that included hundreds of Eagan girls was our Centennial Day of Service on October 13, 2012. This event, coordinated with the metro wide initiative that included over 25,000 local Girl Scouts giving 62,500 service hours, protected our local waterways from excessive and harmful algae growth.
On Saturday afternoon, September 15, 2012, Junior Girl Scout Troop #53333, earned their Bronze Award, the highest honor a Junior Girl Scout can earn, required them to learn the leadership and planning skills necessary to follow through on a project that makes a positive impact on their community. Making the world and their local community a better place, they were prepared to teach children through an event called "Sports and Nutrition Day: Eat + Exercise = Extra Energy." The six 10 year old Girl Scouts and their supportive families set up six Sports Stations (soccer, volleyball, Frisbee golf, basketball, cheer and dance) plus the Warm-up/Cool-down Station, Snack Station and Welcome Station. All the sports equipment (soccer nets, volleyball net, basketball net, balls, Frisbees, targets, tarps and mats) and various other equipment (tables, chairs, signs, food prep items, music, flag and stand, shelter, and other things) were placed in their stations. The girls then organized their previously prepared sports signs, posters, information speech cards about fun facts of the sport each one would teach including some history, equipment, uniform, field or court and a card listing the skills and drills they would be teaching for that sport. They spent the day educating other girls about the benefits of good nutrition and exercise.
On election day, most of the precincts were given appreciation packages from our girls. A representative of our girls brought snacks to the precincts in the morning to help keep the election judges nourished and focused through out a very long day at the polls.
These are only three examples of hundreds of service oriented projects our young citizens participate in through out the year.
But its not all about community service. There are a lot of fun activities that the scouts have an oppurtunity to try. Many organizations have set up special oppurtunities for our kids that make those activities affordable and fun. These activites include professional sports games, science demonstrations, art activities and so much more. Does your organization have something to offer to our future leaders that could enrich their lives? I challenge each person to think about these future citizens and decide if you have something to offer them. Does your workplace manufacture a product that is vital to our lives? Maybe a tour of your facility would give them an interest in your field. Do you service the community in some unique way? Maybe you can introduce that world to our youth to someday pass the baton to one of them down the road.
GSUSA Mission Statement
Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.
This mission statement illustrates that Girl Scouting offers a girl countless opportunities to expand her boundaries and connect with other girls and her community, in which she can courageously share her heart, confidently speak her mind, and demonstrate the character to lead others.

I absolutely LOVED this dish! It's definitely in the "favorites" now.
The Peruvian style mashed potato recipe can be found here: Causa
1 lb boneless skinless chicken tenderloins
1 T white vinegar
2 t paprika (I used smoked)
1 1/2 t cumin
1 t garlic powder
juice of 1/2 lemon
canola oil, divided
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup chicken broth
Combine vinegar, wine, spices, lemon juice, a little oil and salt and pepper in a large ziploc bag or other container with a tight fitting lid. Taste and adjust as desired. Toss with chicken til well coated. At this point you can marinate the chicken for a couple hours, or just cook immediately. I didn't have time to do the marinade step, but next time I won't skip it.
In a large frying pan, a little canola oil over medium high heat. Saute chicken til almost cooked through. Remove chicken with a slotted spoon and set aside to keep warm. Add broth to pan and bring to a rolling simmer. Cook for a few minutes, til sauce reduces.
Add chicken back to pan to heat through.
Serve chicken over Peruvian style mashed potatoes with dipping sauce, if using.
Dipping Sauce
1/2 cup mayo
2 T regular mustard
2 T fresh lime juice
salt to taste
In a small bowl, mix mayo, mustard, lime juice and salt to taste. Refrigerate til needed.

WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA - FEBRUARY 22: Actress Halle Berry (R) and Gabriel Aubry arrive at the 2009 Vanity Fair Oscar Party hosted by Graydon Carter held at the Sunset Tower on February 22, 2009 in West Hollywood, California.

Their war isn't over, but Halle Berry just won a small battle in her custody fight with ex, Gabriel Aubry.
The Monster's Ball star was told by a judge that she can take her daughter, Nahla, to New York with her while she films New Year's Eve, a forthcoming romantic comedy, reports the New York Daily News.
Berry, 44, dropped out of production for the Garry Marshall-directed film last month after Aubry, 34, filed a custody petition. Aubry, a Canadian fashion model, dropped his petition but plans to file a paternity action that would legalize his relationship with his two-year-old daughter.
Berry's attorney, Neal Hersh, was happy with the outcome.
"We are pleased the judge took the time to deal with this very imminent and important issue," he said in an interview with TMZ. "The judge read a great deal of paperwork and gave us time to argue."
He added, "Halle is very pleased with the judge's order."
Berry's role was recast for Grey's Anatomy's alum Katherine Heigl. In her new role, which has less screen time, Berry will play a nurse.

Woodman's vs. J.T. Farnham's for fried clams
Did a direct comparison very recently between Woodman's and J.T. Farnham's, two major league spots for fried clams in Essex, MA. In both cases, got a belly fried clam plate with rings, fries, and slaw.
Fries: forgettable in both cases, frozen standard issue, nothing special.
Onion rings: depends on your taste. Farnham's uses a somewhat non-uniform breaded style coating similar to how it does its clams. Woodman's is darker, with a more uniform tube-type coating, notably greasier, but tasted good nonetheless. Different, but both very good.
Slaw: no contest. Farnham's is much better, with a creamier consistency and more flavor, slightly yellowish color. Woodman's is comparatively bland, with little flavor, thinner dressing, much whiter color.
Clams: both are well more than edible, but Farnham's is better. Similar moderate size and similar breaded style coating. Both had good clammy, slightly briny flavor. The major difference -- Woodman's unfortunately had some clams with very rubbery strip portions, some of which couldn't be chewed. Farnham's clams didn't have this problem.
Both places of course are "in the rough," with picnic style booths indoors (also some diner style stools at Farnham's) and picnic tables outside; you stand in line at both spots to place your order (Woodman's however has two lines, one for drink orders, one for food orders). Nothing fancy, a bit of grubbiness, and plenty of rustic atmosphere at both. Advantage Farnham's: there's a really nice salt marsh view from their outside picnic tables, Woodman's has a marsh view of its own that's a little less picturesque, but its tables are covered by a tent. Advantage Woodman's: there are real bathrooms here, regrettably only a port-o-potty at Farnham's with no place to wash hands.
Given the choice, I preferred Farnham's, but Woodman's wasn't bad.
Last time I was at Farnhams there 's a bathroom inside!
my order of preference:
1- Clam Box
3-whatever i can find when i can't get to #1 or #2.
re: ScubaSteve
Agreed. The Clam Box in Ipswich is the place to go for fried clams. The servings are huge, clams (and other seafood) are lightly breaded on the outside, moist on the inside -- never too greasy, always fresh. Same goes for fries and onion rings. Definately worth waiting in line for!
re: ScubaSteve
Just out of curiosity, what does a fine repast like this cost? Here in downeast Me. it would be 10-15 bucks.
I don't want no burger, I don't want no spam;
I don't care if it's boiled or fried,
Just give me a big friggin' calm.
Has anyone been th the Yarmouth, Me. clam festival lately?
I remember a few years ago when I was living in the Boston area, I found out that Woodman's fries their stuff in lard. Is that still the case? And does anyone know if any of the other seafood places use lard to fry? I like the taste and texture that lard provides, but I think the fryers at Woodmans are always too full and brings the temperature down too quickly, which results in soggier food. While the fried seafood can be variable there, I've found that the onion rings and the crab roll (my two favorite items) are pretty consistently good.
J.T's is ok for clams, but if you want the best in the area, you have to give the call to the clam box in ipswich. i worked in essex county for 14 years and have been to both places and have to give the nod to the box. don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with J.T's, but nothing is better than the the box.....

Interesting read.......
oh.....and shut it Demi.....:)
Going on 11 years now of owning an annual pass, I really don't care what goes on behind Minnie's skirt. I just love to go and enjoy the parks.
Peace Out~:D
Ron dislikes a film = go out and buy it.
Ron loves a film = don't even rent.
The parks are awesome. :)
Hey Ron, I just went a couple months ago - it was right after the Thunder Mountain incident. Alot of the rides were shut down but the first day we walked up to every ride easy. The second day Saturday it was packed. Anyway they were remodeling the Haunted Mansion for Nightmare Before Christmas. Made me want to go back just to check that out.
How the Hell was it? Spent a bunch of money on MBC merchandice also.
PS3 and HD Front Projection, life is good. Too bad Blu-Ray and the PS3 are already obsolete.....
They did a fantastic job with the Mansion. Even better than last year. I've ridden it 3x's and plan a couple more before it's gone.
Winter is the worst time for ride shut down's. Most all rides are refurbed during Winter, the slow time of the year. Space Mountain is down until late 2005 due to a complete redesign.
I love Xmas time at D-land, the snow, the Xmas parade, everything all lit with up with Xmas lights, it's excellent. I go almost weekly during November and December.
Hope you had fun. You should have emailed me. I would have met ya there for a beer. Did you go to CA. Adventure?
Peace Out~:D

What is Pinterest?
Pintrest is essentially an online bulletin board, which allows users to easily "pin" pictures they like to different boards. When you click on a pin, it brings you to a modal, which enlarges the picture and gives you the option to repin it to one of your boards, share it via Facebook, like it or comment on the picture. Clicking on the modal pin will bring you to the original website page of the photo.
Why does Pinterest Work for Restaurants? Pinterest is above all, fun. It isn't controversial. Unlike Facebook, it doesn't promote customer comments and you won't (or rarely) have to worry about complaints. Instead, Pinterest offers restaurants a chance to express itself through pictures. You can create boards to showcase your restaurant, your menu, and also express your brand.
The pictures you post to your boards are visual representations of your restaurant. For example, if your restaurant concept is Italian cuisine, posting beautiful pictures of Tuscany or Rome would help establish your brand with other pinners. Does your restaurant feature classic American cuisine? Try iconic photos of Hollywood stars, pictures of famous American landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge or the Statue of Liberty. Build a board around your local town, city or state. If your restaurant is located in Maine, you could pin photos of classic Maine like lobster, lighthouses and moose. If you are in Georgia, pinning pictures of peach trees, seascapes or Vivenne Leigh as Scarlet O'Hara would be a good visual representation of where your restaurant is located. Because Pinterest is all about pretty pictures, the photos you choose should be good quality. Large, clear, colorful work best. Nobody is going to want to repin a photo if it is grainy and unattractive.
What type of content should I post on Pintrest?
Once you sing up for Pinterest (you will need a Facebook or Twitter account) you will create various boards that reflect different parts of your restaurant. You can have a board for each section of your menu – appetizers, entrees, desserts, vegetarian options, and so on. Rather than just calling them appetizer, entrée, dessert, try creating something a little catchier- like The Hen House for chicken selections, or Sweet Treats for desserts.
To establish your brand further, think of the type of customer you are trying to woo. What would that person like? Create a board of "cool stuff" or "Laughs" that your customers will appreciate. For example, if you are trying to establish a customer following among late 20-early 30 professionals, your restaurant might pin a meme of Steve Carrel from The Office onto their laughs board.
Along with posting images that represent your restaurant location, you can upload your own photos of you menu, with links back to your website. It's important to link back to your website, or your Facebook page or Twitter page, because those sites all offer more information about your restaurant.
So How Long is This Going to Take? Unlike Facebook and Twitter, which need to be updated at least daily in order to stay current with followers, Pinterest requires far less time. Devoting 15-30 minutes a week of pinning photos to your boards, liking and/or following other pinner's boards (akin to friending people of Facebook) is enough to help build your online brand. Though, Pintrest is so fun and easy to do, you may find yourself pinning far more often.

Queensland, the largest state on the Australian East Coast is one of most popular tourist destinations in the country, boasting an array of different landscapes from 'Outback' to lush tropical rainforest. It consequently stands to reason that Brisbane, Queensland's stunning, fast paced capital city is visited by over 900,000 international holiday makers every year. Holiday accommodation in the city is consequently almost as diverse as the surrounding countryside, ranging from luxurious holiday homes to budget accommodation geared toward backpackers.
There is never a shortage of things to see and do in Brisbane, whether you're interested in eating, shopping, cuddling a koala, or simply hanging out at your holiday villa sipping cocktails, Brisbane will not disappoint. The diverse range of activities offered also means that there is something available to suit every budget.
One of the really great things about Brisbane is that it's possible to have the holiday of a lifetime on a rather tight budget. Holiday makers can take a walk through the beautiful Brisbane Botanical Gardens, or relax on the beach at South Bank if they're looking for something low-key. Cultured travellers in comparison, can visit the Brisbane Museum (which offers free admission), or wander along the various free self-guide tours scattered throughout the city. The beauty of these activities is that they're usually only a short train ride, if not within walking distance, of your holiday rental.
For those travellers interested in something a little more luxurious, Brisbane City also has a great deal to offer. Take a lunch or dinner cruise along the spectacular Brisbane River, which winds lazily through the centre of the city, or head into the illustrious Queen Street Mall for some serious shopping. A short train or taxi ride into Fortitude Valley, or 'The Valley' as its known by locals, also allows visitors to experience the boutique accommodation, mouth-watering restaurants, hip entertainment venues and pumping nightlife that this trendy area of Brisbane has to offer.
Those holiday maker dying to see the wilder and more adventurous side of Brisbane are also spoilt for choice, as the region surrounding Brisbane encompasses some of the most celebrated national parks in Australia. Morton Island, located just 25km from Brisbane's Central Business District is home to crystal clear lakes, massive sand dunes and beautiful beaches. Holiday accommodation is also available on the island, giving holiday makers the opportunity to feed dolphins, snorkel, dive, and relax on the beach, literally on the doorstep of their holiday villa.
Another must see island destination just north of Brisbane is Fraser Island, the largest sand island in the world, and one of the most sought after holiday destinations in Queensland. Fraser Island affords tourist the chance to get up close and personal with Australian wildlife such as Dingoes, in addition to being one of the most renowned whale watching destinations in the country. The popularity of this destination also means that many travel companies offer fantastic holiday deals departing Brisbane, centred on a visit to the island.
Springbrook National Park is another must see destination located approximately 100km south of Brisbane City. Springbrook offers traveller the opportunity to experience real tropical rainforest via its numerous well kept walking tracks. The national park is also home to amazing waterfalls such as Natural Bridge, which is located near the park entrance. Family friendly and pet friendly accommodation is also available close to Springbrook in the form of campgrounds, guesthouses, lodges and bed and breakfasts, for those travellers that fall in love with the region and wish to stay.
Brisbane City which maintains a sub-tropical climate, like most of Queensland, can get excessively warm and wet during the summer period, which extends from November to January. It is therefore recommended that people adverse to temperatures ranging from 30°C to 40°C either steer clear of the region during this time, or secure a holiday rental or serviced apartment with great air-conditioning and a swimming pool. The rest of the year however, Brisbane offers pristine weather for holiday makers, with sunny 20°C to 25°C days and mild nights.

As a 22-year-old graduate in architecture, Zahra Ebrahim looked for a place to take the skills she had learned and apply them more broadly than what the traditional profession and academy were offering.
Seeing the architecture community as ripe for disruption, at 23 Ebrahim started an architectural think tank, archiTEXT, intended to make the conversations surrounding architecture accessible to the public, to communities and to people who were affected by the changes in these built environments but who were not traditionally included in the conversations.
In the last seven years, Ebrahim has not only transformed the practice of architecture, launching community design initiatives with kids in Canada's most at-risk communities and designed large capital projects.
But she has also transformed architectural design in Canada and the way the public, government, corporations as well as charitable organizations use design as a tool for social impact.
When she was 24 years old, Ebrahim was invited to join the Faculty of Design at OCAD University and was also invited to be the Innovator in Residence at the Design Exchange, Canada's National Design Museum. She is also the Founder of the Design Walk-In Clinic.
At 29, she is an established authority speaking about the intersection of design, social entrepreneurship and innovation. Before turning 20, she has already transformed design and architecture in this country.

Assaf Weisz, 28

Assaf Weisz is easily the most promising "young" person I know (that's in quotes as I don't think of him as a young person).
His current position offers one small glimpse into his potential.
Assaf is one of the co-founders of Purpose Capital, an new investment advisory firm that is humbly trying to "redefine capitalism" (Assaf's words) by focusing on investing in ventures that matter to the world.
If a 28 year old at the helm of an advisory firm doesn't impress, then his earlier exploits should.
At 26, he joined me and one of my colleagues to launch Venture Deli (which we then turned into Purpose Capital).
At 24, Assaf established Canada's largest network of young entrepreneurs under the banner of the Young Social Entrepreneurs of Canada.
At 22, he was involved in the creation (and is still Board member) of Operation Groundswell, an organization that fuels "backpacktivists" that blends travel with community service to build a new, socially aware and community minded breed of young people.
He's an Ariane De Rothschild Fellow, an author and leading blogger in the field of social innovation and entrepreneurship, a frequent lecturer/panelist/speaker.
The guy is just ridiculous.
- nomination by Norm Tasevski
This is an older video of Assaf during his YSEC days. It offers a window into his philosophy
Assaf was among those who participated in our Generation Why open forum for big ideas. You can watch him explain why we don't have to choose between our ideals & making a living here.

Spencer Thompson is the 22-year-old CEO of Sokanu, a career-focused platform that matches people to careers.
He founded Sokanu right out of highschool, when he was only 19 years old, because he realized that his classmates did not know what they wanted to do with the rest of their lives — and those who did didn't know how to get there.
He heads up a young team at Sokanu, members of Generation Y who love what they do and want to help other people find work that they love.
They believe that like dating, career planning is a learning process: most people don't find the career they are meant for on the first try.
With Sokanu, they hope to take some of the guesswork out of the equation by helping people to learn more about themselves, learn more about their options, and pursue their passion in life.
Spencer is a mentor and speaker forTiE, the Indus Entrepreneur network, and sits on the board of several education startups includingVEFandVEF Momentum.

Ta'Kaiya Blaney, 12
Sliammon First Nation
Photo courtesy of Anne Blaney/by Naomi Grindlay
Ta'Kaiya Blaney is a 12 -year-old singer, songwriter and actress from the Sliammon First Nation located in British Columbia.
Ta'Kaiya was first inspired in Grade 3, when she studied otters and learned that their greatest cause of death was from oil spills. Shortly after, she learned about the Northern Gateway Pipeline and had the idea to write a song about an oil spill in the future called "Shallow Waters." Before the song was finished, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico occurred, making her message that much more urgent.
Ta'Kaiya began speaking at events, festivals and schools around B.C. starting in 2011. Two years later at 12 years old, she has an impressive resumé that will only grow in the years to come.
Her accomplishments include speaking at international conferences, including UN meetings in Indonesia and Rio de Janeiro, as well as several youth conferences, rallies and environmental events across Canada.
She has had numerous appearances in the media (including the CBC).
Her vision is simple.
As she says on her blog: "we have a responsibility to help the earth...our earth is our home."
Ta'Kaiya also advocates for providing better living standards in Indigenous First Nations territories and ending the oppression, racism, and corruption within governments and local communities. She has been vocal in the "Idle No More" movement.
I have seen Ta'Kaiya speak at a couple of events opposing the Northern Gateway Pipeline. I was impressed and inspired at seeing such a young, articulate girl motivating and the crowd with her message.
She is definitely a youth to watch out for.

Alleged Deer Jacker Arrested on DUI Charges
Howard Latham Bentley, 39, of 8 Maple Dale Street in Coventry was arrested Nov. 24 at 12:40 a.m. on charges of obstructing an officer and two felony charges – one for carrying a weapon while intoxicated and another for possession of a controlled substance.
A North Kingstown officer happened upon Bentley on Shermantown Road, where he had accidentally driven his car into a ditch on the side of the road while trying to make a u-turn. According to the officer, Bentley appeared to be under the influence and told the officer he had been drinking that night
According to reports, Bentley told the officer he was leaving Narragansett and heading to Coventry. When the officer asked him why he was on Shermantown Road heading toward Exeter, he could not provide a reason.
Due to the fact that the responding officer had a previous encounter with Bentley, during which police found a large knife on him after he fled from officers, the officer frisked him for weapons. According to reports, he found 10 unspent shotgun shells in his pocket. Bentley allegedly could not explain why he had the shells in his pocket.
Police found a camouflage-colored shotgun leaning against a tree 10 feet from Bentley's car. Also in his car, police found a handheld spotlight, leading officers to believe that Bentley may have been deer jacking – i.e. shining spotlight on a deer, causing it to stop in its tracks, then shooting it.
When police returned to Bentley, they found he had slipped his handcuffs from his back to his front and had his hands in front of his face. According to reports, Bentley was attempting to eat marijuana. He allegedly ignored several commands to spit the pot out. According to police, Bentley spit a piece of the pot out in the squad car on the way to headquarters, allowing police to positively identify the substance as marijuana.
According to records, Bentley has five previous convictions of possession of marijuana. He was transported to the ACI as a probation violator.
Reckless Driver Caught by State Troopers
Andrew W. Gaskell, 34, of 70 Carroll St., Apt. 1205 in Newport was arrested Nov. 24 at 12:26 p.m. on charges of driving with a suspended license and a felony charge of reckless driving.
A Rhode Island State Trooper put out a bulletin on Nov. 15 around 5 p.m. that he was chasing a car that was speeding over the Jamestown Bridge. After the trooper ended his pursuit, a North Kingstown officer caught up to the driver on Route 4. According to reports, the driver (Gaskell) blew through two red lights and swerved in and out of traffic (at times travelling through the breakdown lane). The officer ended his pursuit and a warrant for Gaskell's arrest was issued. According to the trooper, Gaskell was wanted on a bench warrant from 2nd District Court and also had an extensive criminal history.
On Nov. 24, State Troopers took Gaskell into custody. He was transported to the ACI as a probation violator.
Habitual Shoplifter Busted at Kohl's
Bruce E. Judge, 65, of 162 Main Street in East Greenwich was arrested Nov. 24 at 10:15 a.m. on charges of a habitual shoplifting offender and a felony charge of shoplifting from Kohl's
Judge allegedly stole seven bottles of Jennifer Lopez perfume, hid them in his jacket and left the store. When a loss prevention officer from Kohl's confronted him outside the store, he dropped the bag containing the perfume and fled on foot. The employee contacted police and followed Judge on foot. Police intercepted Judge on Pine River Drive.
According to the Kohl's employee, Judge is suspected of shoplifting from several other Kohl's stores. He was issued a no trespass order and was arraigned on $2,000 surety.
Six Cars Broken Into in North Quidnessett Area
Several cars in the Northbriar area of North Quidnessett were entered on the night of Nov. 23. According to reports, one woman found her neighbor's pink wallet on her lawn, prompting them to check their cars. Four cars on Northbriar Drive were entered as well as two on Keats Drive between 8:30 and 9:15 p.m. The suspect(s) made off with $105 in cash, two GPS units, multiple Ralph Lauren T-shirts and an iPod.

TRAVERSE CITY — The ice officially is "out" of West Bay, sort of.
Grand Traverse Baykeeper John Nelson announced his determination Friday after surveying the bay Thursday.
Ice "out" is called when most of the thick ice is gone from the bay while ice "in" is when a solid sheet stretches from the southern shore to Power Island, said officials from The Watershed Center Grand Traverse Bay.
Ice "in" was called this year on Feb. 3 and lasted for 80 days. The last time West Bay experienced ice near that duration was 1996 when ice remained for 76 days, according to information released by the Watershed Center.
The last time ice lingered for 80 days was 1926, the release said.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Vellie Great Shoe! Wrong Stock Photo... First of all as you all know that the Nano 3.0 is a great shoe and is hands down one of the best shoes for doing all types of crossfit workouts. The shoe stays in place when doing rope climbs where other shoes would rip apart with the force. My wife loves the shoe but one thing you need to know is that the green smash shoe is not green smash color all over it is mint color with green smash. Picture is below. Other than that its perfect! The shoes are great when you use them for anything crossfit related. My wife and I love the duracage around the whole front of the shoe. Great addition from the 2.0 where sometimes you would get a lot of rope burn to the fabric. Here its all a highly abrasion resistant rubberized plastic so there are no problems. I would suggest looking at the size chart I have uploaded below. Use the EU size from the inside of your current shoes and compare that to the EU size of the Nanos. Enjoy your WOD! 5/7/14
Rated 4 out of 5Â by TLD1973 Good shoe for group exercise classes that don't involve a lot of jumping. I haven't tried doing any plyometrics in them, but I feel like they are better with you feet planted on the ground.. I'd recommend them for resistance training and core classes. 1/23/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Lauren13007 Awesome! I am normally a size 9 and the 9.5 fit perfect. Super comfortable, love the color can't wait to crossfit in these! 10/26/13
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Msal23 Amazing comfort The 3.0s are amazingly comfortable and are perfect to WOD in. 3/17/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by BrightEyes0514 I love these shoes! Stylish, functional, and durable. What more could you ask for? 5/1/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Mnkymj620 Why did I wait so long? I am a runner who started CF about 6 months ago. I was doing WOD's in my running shoes. Now that I have my nano's, I love them for CF! I was a little nervous they would be uncomfortable for sprints or jumping rope but they are so comfortable. And lifting in them especially squats and deadlifts are so much better than running shoes. I wish I would of bought these way sooner then I did!! I did but my size shoe as I do in my running shoes and find them a little big. I also have a narrow foot and they seem a tiny bit more wide then I'd like but overall I'd buy them again. And I love the orange/peachy color! 1/25/14
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Chris84 Great stability and super cute!! I was first attracted to these shoes because of the style, it is SO cool looking (the purple version) that it motivates me while I work out. I literally had 5 people asking where I got these shoes the first time I wore them. Functionality wise, I do a lot of bootcamp/tabata/cardio cross-training classes (not the actual Crossfit classes but similar exercises) and found these shoes were really great in stabilizing the ankle. I also have wide feet so appreciate that these have a wide footbed. I normally wear size 7 but in sneakers usually have to go up to 7.5 which I also did for these shoes and they fit perfect. Love them!! 9/18/13
Rated 5 out of 5Â by BonnieB Best Crossfit Option! The Reebok Nano 3.0 are the best shoe I have ever owned. I absolutely love them! They are comfortable and durable. I imediately used mine in a WOD with a lot of running and was concerned about he drop, but no problems! They didn't require any "breaking in" time. The Nano 3.0 are exceptionally helpful in rope climbs. My feet almost stick to the rope! These are the only option for conquering that WOD with strength, endurance, and intensity! 12/7/13
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Nicolekm I love this shoe! When I recieved them (a week early!!!) I was so excited I had to try them out on a few burpees at work haha! I have been wearing them now for 3 weeks and love them. At first they are a little hard to get used to since I have been wearing NikeFrees for so long. Really glad I made the switch to the Nano 3.0! They are a little wide so I would reccomend ordering them in your true size. I usually wear a 7.5 or 8 and went with the 7.5 glad I did. 7/15/13
Rated 5 out of 5Â by agier Awesome shoes These shoes exceeded my expectations in comfort!! I've worn my 2.0's for a year now and hated to replace them, but once I saw the 3.0's I had to have a pair!! They are extremely comfortable and have held up well with everything I've done at the box so far!! 7/10/13

Marijuana Law in Minnesota - Legal status, penalties for possession, use and dealing Marijuana in MinnesotaMarijuana is a controlled substance in Minnesota - possession, use, and dealing marijuana in Minnesota is illegal.
What are the penalties for using marijuana in Minnesota?
First offenses involving small amounts of marijuana usually mean no prison time or criminal record, if the marijuana is a small amount for personal consumption. These offenses are treated in a similar way to a minor traffic violation.
Possessing less than 42.5g of marijuana is a misdemeanor, carrying a fine of $200, and the possible requirement of drug education.
Possession of greater than 1.4g in a motor vehicle (except in the trunk) is a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of $200 and up to one year in prison.
Possessing more than 42.5g of marijuana is a felony. The penalties are increasingly large fines, depending on the amount of the drug, and jail time.
Selling, distributing, or dealing marijuana is illegal in Minnesota.
Distributing less than 42.5g without remuneration is a misdemeanor, with a fine of $200 and possible drug education.
Selling any amount of marijuana is a felony, with jail time and increasingly large fines for dealing any quantity of marijuana. Selling to a minor, in a school or park zone, or bringing marijuana into the state, have stiffer penalties.
More detail on Minnesota's penalties for marijuana possession, use and dealing from MN NORML.
Marijuana and Driving
Minnesota has a zero tolerance policy for driving under the influence of any controlled substance. Driving with any detectable drug metabolite in your bloodstream can result in a fine up to $1000, 90 days jail time and suspension of your license for 180 days for a first offense. Fines, suspensions and jail time increase for subsequent offenses. More information on Minnesota's drugged driving policy.

Why single out Israel? Because Israel is the only serial human rights abuser that enjoys consistent and enthusiastic support by all the liberal democracies of the North.
This support gives the Israeli state an impunity that Iran, Sudan, Zimbabwe or Burma, to name but four, do not enjoy because their human rights abuses are all—rightly and however unprincipled—attacked by the major powers.
Israel alone is allowed to commit war crimes and crimes against humanity; it alone is allowed to repeatedly ignore United Nations resolutions without any opposition from northern governments and major institutions.
'Why Israel only' is tired and hypocritical
This is so important. No one is saying Israel is the only state to ever commit human rights abuses, but it is unique in enjoying support for those human rights abuses [from most of powerful states] by painting itself, the oppressor, repeatedly as the victim.

Kendrick Lamar is just weeks away from releasing his hotly anticipated debut album Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City (out October 22nd), and the rising Compton MC heightened anticipation last night when he made his TV debut on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Backed by the Roots, Lamar gave a cool and collected – but powerful – performance of album cut "Swimming Pool (Drank)," a track that delves into the destructiveness of drinking. It was a fitting debut, and as Lamar rhymed before kicking into the song, "This is for everybody to understand me. I need you to recognize my plan, B, is to win your hearts before I win a Grammy."

Getting down to business at U.N. climate talks a hard task
A U.N. concession to delegates at this week's climate talks in Bonn to take off jackets and ties due to recent high temperatures may be going to some participants' heads.
Breaking the back of negotiations for a new climate pact after the Kyoto Protocol expires in 2012 is proving hard work even though the talks' chair hopes to have a new negotiating text on the table by the end of the week.
Developing nations are still blaming the rich for global warming and the issue of who will contribute most to climate financing is still a matter for debate.
A year-end meeting in Cancun looms closer and the pressure is on to get the job done.
Yet, the acronyms being bandied around — LULUCF, CDM, AAU, AWG-KP, AWG-LCA, REDD, to name a few — are enough to make your head swim.
Now in the movies: The gentle giant
German utility RWE – Europe's fifth-largest power company and the continent's biggest emitter of carbon dioxcide – has resorted to a new way to counter what it sees as a fundamental misunderstanding about power companies.
Its animated movie – to be shown on TV and in cinemas – is meant to show what the company is really about – and overcome the public's distaste for an industry whose dominance has allowed it to mete out ever higher power prices.
from MacroScope:
Gold to go
Automatic teller machines (ATMs) -- 500 of them -- dispensing pieces of gold will be available around Germany, Switzerland and Austria by the end of this year.
That at least is the plan of German precious metals online trading company TG-Gold-Super-Markt.de. The ATMs, to be located at airports, railway stations and shopping malls, are intended to accustom ordinary people to the idea of investing in a physical asset such as gold, the thinking goes.
Thomas Geissler, the company's chief executive, said the gold ATMs might even improve relations between the sexes.
"I have yet to meet a woman who does not like a gift of gold. It's better than flowers. Flowers are more expensive. They wilt and you (as a man) don't get as many points at home as if you bring gold," he said.
A prototype ATM on display for a one-day marketing test at the main railway station in Frankfurt, Germany's financial capital, did indeed reward your correspondent with a 1-gramme (0.0353 ounce) piece of gold.
It cost the equivalent of $42.25 -- a 30 percent premium over the spot market price.

I can pay pretty good rates and would be interested in getting some help pretty quickly. I have a current project that could really use your help. Strong JS skills arent need for things like json, it is more of the ui related things like animations and other UX type things on the page.
So if you like jquery, xhtml, and enjoy making sites that look as good as these templates then I would love to start a dialogue

Safari Books Online is a digital library providing on-demand subscription access to thousands of learning resources.
For many years AutoCAD wasn't very sophisticated when it came to shaping curves. Sure, you could create circles, arcs, and ellipses, but shaping complex curves wasn't accurate compared to the capabilities of programs such as Maya or 3ds Max. In AutoCAD 2011 all this changed with the introduction of an all-new SPLINE command that offered much more flexibility in shaping true NURBS (nonuniform rational basis spline) curves using fit points or control vertices. AutoCAD 2012 now expands on this by giving you the ability to shape curves however you imagine and even use them to model surfaces, which you'll learn more about in Chapter 17, "Modeling in 3D."
