We (including a 2-year-old) are taking a cruise from Miami to Bahama in September. We're planning to stay 4 days in Miami after the cruise. We're thinking to take a day trip to Key West if it's not raining. Several friends told me not to take a little toddler to Key West as there were a lot of homeless there. Is that true? Is it safe there? How the drive back to Miami at night? We are going to stay in Miami Downtown. Are there any beaches good for little kid other than the South Beach? Thank you in advance for your response!
Miami and Key West

First off, many families with 2YO's visit Key West. And, of course, there are lots of families with 2YO's who live there.
Yes, there are homeless people in Key West just as there are homeless people in any city or town throughout the world but that shouldn't stop you. What is it about a homeless person that has you so worried? Chances are you won't encounter one and if you did, how would you know the person is homeless? Are you also worried about encountering homeless people while you are staying in downtown Miami (there are homeless people in that city, too)? Honestly, I think you are over reacting on that particular front.
We've visited Key west numerous times and always felt safe. Use the same common sense you do when you are out and about in your home town and you should be just fine.
Now, it's about 120 miles from Miami to Key West. The road is a single lane elevated "bridge" that links the various Keys. Think of it as a series of long bridges in between lots of small islets. The ride could take 2.5 to 3 hours each way, depending on traffic. Some people may find the "overwater" route a little intimidating at night.
Quite honestly, a day trip to Key West from Miami makes for a very long day, especially if you are doing it with a 2YO. Figure on a total of 5.5 to 6 hours of drive time (more if you are going on a weekend or holiday period) so you'll have to evaluate just how good a travelers your child is. In order to make it worth while you'd have to leave fairly early in the day and if you stay for more than a few hours you'll be getting back to Miami around dinner time or even later. So, ask yourself, is 6 hours of so of driving worth a 3 hour visit. You might be better off spending the night, that way you can have more time to really enjoy what Key West has to offer. -

I don't think it's the homeless in Key West that you have to worry about. Key West is not my idea of a kid friendly destination.

Key West is all about drinking and partying. Not much to see or do with a two year old. Also too far for a day trip - you could easily spend six hours making the round trip drive.

There's a butterfly sanctuary, a conch train tour, catamaran rides and lots of fun shops ... it's a great town for a stroller ride... people from boulder usually only drink and party and miss the family stuff...

I agree that it's a long day trip from Miami to Key West, but I think it's a perfectly fine destination to go with a toddler. In fact, I'd rather take a toddler than a 10-year-old because a toddler can't read what's on all the suggestive T-shirts in the shops along Duval Street!
If I were taking my toddler to Key West, I'd stroll along the streets parallel to Duval Street that have such interesting houses and architecture. I'd go to the Hemingway House where the toddler could enjoy the gardens and the polydactyl cats. I'd go to the beach at Fort Zachary Taylor. I'd go to Mallory Square to see the neat statues. I'd go to the Key West Toy Factory. There's more to see in Key West, even with a toddler, than you can see in a day trip. -

garyt22 - you got that right. I don't go to Key West to see butterflies. LOL. Still too far for a daytrip.

As much as I love Key West, I can't imagine taking a day trip from Miami there. You're looking at 8 hours in the car for probably 4 hours in Key West. Frankly, if I were you, I'd be inclined to split my time between Miami and Key West...maybe two days each place.
There are tons of things to do in Key West with children and toddlers. -

It's a very long tiring ride to round-trip to Key West in a day, as others have suggested. You're talking 300 miles of driving in one day with a child, and the return is in the dark on a two lane road - you'll be tired and have a child with you - not a good idea. Homeless - chances are you won't see them or even know you are seeing them. Safety? It's a very safe place. I like the suggestion above of taking a child up Simonton or Whitehead rather than pushing a stroller thru drinking and smoking tourists near Mallory Square who are there to have a good time and are not necessarily be looking out for strollers. The island has a butterfly museum, a great aquarium, three beaches, and other child-friendly venues and restaurants, but I wonder about the long long drive for a child who will never remember the event. And quite frankly, I suspect you'll think "What a cool awesome place! But next time we get a babysitter!"

Reason 6.5 + PodHD Pro + A day off = Metal
Between everything going on I just haven't had time to work on music. I finally bit the bullet and bought Propellerheads Reason 6.5. I had been using Reaper for a while now, but I always end up spending more time tweaking than I do writing in reaper. The opposite of how I used to work in Reason 3.0 back in the day with a buddy.
So here is my first 30 second Metal test using Reason. Loading SoundCloud…
Guitar is PodHD Pro using my own custom patch. Bass is Line6 bass amp within reason. Drum samples are G&S Custom Work Drum kit Sample Library 1.0 (FREE and link at bottom) blended with a kick and a snare I processed in reaper from SD2.0 . Large majority of the drum sound is the free library. The sounds processed in Reaper were Heavily processed to beef up things like snare crack, and kick punch. Drums were performed on my Midi keyboard/contorler (without Quantizeing). I could have spent more time on the drum midi and blah blah blah, but as a test I don't think it warranted any more time than I already have given it. I just wanted to share my results with the community since I haven't seen much metal/rock being done with Reason, and I'm kind of surprised with the results I was able to get with minimal effort. Comment if you want. Link to where I found the Drum Library http://www.autodafe.net/gas-custom-w...ibrary-10.html Last edited by harwwire666; 2013-03-16 at 08:17. Reason: fix link |

The unasked question is the worst kind. It never receives an answer, not a shrug, not a IDK, not yes or no. It never hears itself spoken, yet is asked over and over and over again in the mind to the point of distraction.
How to get the unasked question out of the mind without it actually coming out of the mouth becomes a new question altogether. Is it even possible?
Go for it...Ask!
Rather than go through such inner torment, go ahead and ask it. Unless asking "the unasked question" will lead to mayhem, it's better to toss it out there and vent the stress from your eating curiosity.
And now I must ask the "unasked question" that been harrassing me: Did you orchestrate that unique photo of yourself for Red Room? Be honest now; Annie Leibovitz posed you and shot it, didn't she?
inspired by your insistence
Asked. Answered, but with far less certainty than I would have liked.
Unsatisfying, at best.

Saturday Exit through the gift shop Channel 4 - 9pm
For street artist/ninja Banksy this is a pretty quality debut. It's a thoroughly well thought out giant piss take of art (otherwise known as a mockumentary) that features the man himself being utterly hilarious. Definitely watch this.
Ronnie Corbett's Comedy Britain ITV1 - 9pm
The teeny tiny comedy legend has tea with David Walliams and his mum and chats to Harry Hill in prop shot. He manages to pull off his legend status with lots of unpretentious aplomb in the second half of the two-part series.

Featuring Jeff bridges, Terrence Howard and some excellent deadpans from Robert Downey Jr. it's just about epic enough to take the edge off your hangover.

In writing about the strengths and weaknesses of contemporary American cities, the word infrastructure frequently issues forth from the keyboard.

The seeds for the St. Louis biotech boom began as early as 1998 when St. Louis leaders recognized a perfect confluence of key ingredients for growth in plant and life sciences: the geographic location in the nation's cropland; an abundance of scientific research institutions, including Washington University, St. Louis University and the Columbia and St. Louis campuses of the University of Missouri; and many successful scientific companies such as Monsanto, Sigma-Aldrich, Novus and Covidien.

Can we predict long-run economic growth?
For those concerned with the long-term value of their accounts, it can be a challenge to plan in the present for inflation-adjusted economic growth over coming decades. Here, I argue that there exists an economic constant that carries through time, and that this can help us to anticipate the more distant future: global economic wealth has a fixed link to civilization's overall rate of energy consumption from all sources; the ratio of these two quantities has not changed over the past 40 years that statistics are available. Power production and wealth rise equally quickly because civilization, like any other system in the universe, must consume and dissipate its energy reserves in order to sustain its current size. One perspective might be that financial wealth must ultimately collapse as we deplete our energy reserves. However, we can also expect that highly aggregated quantities like global wealth have inertia, and that growth rates must persist. Exceptionally rapid innovation in the two decades following 1950 allowed for unprecedented acceleration of inflation-adjusted rates of return. But today, real innovation rates are more stagnant. This means that, over the coming decade or so, global GDP and wealth should rise fairly steadily at an inflation-adjusted rate of about 2.2% per year.Download Info

From watching the broadcast, Busta Rhymes appeared to be the night's top honoree. Busta received the Sweet 16: Best Featured Verse award for his contributions to Brown's "Look At Me Now," but Busta's other stage visits were to accept a couple awards on Brown's behalf, People's Champ Award and Reese's Perfect Combo Award.
Hosted by comedian Mike Epps, who was joined by announcer Da Brat, the show included a number of performers. Young Jeezy and T.I. opened the night in a surprise tag team set. Big Sean and Roscoe Dash; Lupe Fiasco with Erykah Badu; Rick Ross, Wale, Meek Mills and El DeBarge; and Wiz Khalifa also performed.
The BET Hip Hop Awards have a tradition of featuring surprise old school sets. This year, both Heavy D and DMX hit the stage to deliver hits from their catalogs.
It would have been good to have a music component to LLCool J's I Am Hip Hop tribute. But the greatest of all time MC did rap his inspirational acceptance speech. LL encouraged the audience to pursue their goals, rhyming, "Without a dream fulfilled you're life's incomplete." He also slipped in political commentary: "Millionaires crying about raising taxes on the elite."
The most compelling aspect of the night, though, was the seven-segment freestyle rhyme cypher that played before commercial breaks. Though the sessions hosted by DJ Premiere did not live up to the hype, there were some highlights from the raps from the diverse mix of more than three dozen rappers that spanned veterans Busta Rhymes, the Lady Of Rage, and Eminem; underground kings Skillz, Joe Budden, and Royce Da 5'9"; R&B singers Chris Brown and Estelle; and numerous newcomers.
Reek Da Villain scored the best cypher lyric with, "I was a snail until haters threw salt on me and I dissolved into greatness."

A critical appraisal of energy-signature models
The use of different energy-signature (ES) models for energy consumption predictions and building parameter estimations is reviewed. For predictions using time-steps of one day or longer, static ES models are found to be useful. Recommendations for the choice of model are given. The use of ES models for the estimation of building parameters, e.g. for an energy audit, should only be done with great caution, as there can be considerable errors. The development of more sophisticated dynamic models may solve some of the problems encountered with the static models discussed here.Download Info

BlackBerry Touch 9860 gets examined on video
Alex Wagner - Editorial Director of News and Content@PhoneDog_Alex
Boy, the BlackBerry leaks just don't stop coming, do they? Just a few short days after the Bold Touch was given a brief hands-on video, the BlackBerry Touch has been given the same treatment. Also known as the Monaco, Monza, and even Storm 3, the BlackBerry Touch features a 3.7-inch 800x480 display, 1.2GHz processor, 768MB RAM, a 5-megapixel camera with HD video capture, and BlackBerry 6.1. During the 2:27 clip, we're given a tour of both the Touch's hardware and software, and there's even a comparison with a frosty white Torch thrown in for good measure. You can check out the full video embedded below.
Though we'll have to wait to make any final judgments on the BlackBerry Touch until we can handle it ourselves, it definitely looks like one of the best 'Berrys around so far. Thankfully we won't have to wait much longer to give the Touch a go, as it's expected to make its official debut next month at BlackBerry World. Stay tuned!

Our Streets • Our Bridge • Our Bayfront • Our Downtown • Our Growth • Join us!
What an Idiotorial Board! You can change the subject from Gov. Perry to President Obama, corporations to labor unions and socialist party! Obama is the most created, controlled and manipulated president in history. He is attached at the hip to his teleprompter, and by the way, what does it cost us taxpayers to pay for his campaigning across the country everyday?
in response to ItIsWhatItIs: (This comment was removed by the site staff.)
in response to ItIsWhatItIs:
(This comment was removed by the site staff.)
Why don't you sit down with Dr. Bob and visit about this subject. I believe he is pretty well known by most Pastors and Priests in this area. If you wish, you can probably get in touch with him through Calallen Baptist Church, or if you prefer to just sit on the sidelines and take "pot shots" at least do a Google search and see what some people do to make our world a better place.
Read the article for yourself by Emma Perez-Trevino, Brownville Herald 10-18-19; China, Lencho, Dos Logistics, just suprised they haven't linked Ortiz's favorite Ocean Drive defense contractor to this!
Take a nice drive down Terry Shamsie Lane to the Richard Borchard Faigrounds, paved by your friends at Dos Logistics, and please notice the empty military warehouse our good congressman funded. All of the Ortiz clan must be voted out.
Ms. Reed;
Please enlighten us; "As for the trips Mr. Ortiz has gone on, not all were paid for with taxpayer money." Who paid for these trips?
To "No More Excuses" Ortiz come home?? No,no,no...it's travel season! Let's see, where can we spend the holiday season? I don't think Solie has been to the Swiss Alps! His staff is working around the clock to figure out someway to go study something of little value to "His District" but at great expense to the taxpayor.
In response to Ms. Reed;
The barstool would be a better choice than Ortiz.Mr. Flores is exactly right; Ortiz only serves his big donors on Hewitt and Ocean Drive. The bigger the crook, the bigger the Ortiz sign in their yard.
in response to commongood: From what I understand, Mr. Farenthold lacks experience. His abilities are unknown to voters and his campaign slogans are focused on Ortiz. What does he have to offer the voters in Congressional District 27?
in response to commongood:
From what I understand, Mr. Farenthold lacks experience. His abilities are unknown to voters and his campaign slogans are focused on Ortiz. What does he have to offer the voters in Congressional District 27?
The only experience Ortiz has is in milking the defense budget for his political supporters, lining his own pockets, and touring the world on our expenses, and even pocketing the change!
We is so bless'd to has such intilectuls rights her in our own town! A englis profeser cros-traned in histry too! Nos everthang bout the cival rites, an has the time to worry bout r reel problums like why its sooo dang hot!
Fox News of the Coastal Bend? This paper must sedate their political editor. A Fox reporter would have a hay-day in this swamp of political crooks. You can't beat an opionion out of our congressman, and the behind the scene fund raising, self-dealing, and contract awards is the most corrupt in the State.
For those that may not know, but only speculate..Mr. Porter spent his years in our community building a well respected business, served on numerous community boards, and in service to his church. He raised a good and healthy family that have taken their places to do the same, with grandkids well on their way to repeat. We should all listen and learn from such wisdom, and begin to move our country again in the right direction.
God Bless you Charlie Porter!
in response to llbnine: Reguarding John Evin's letter to the editor. Wondering how Solomon Ortiz will vote on healthcare? Why don't you call his office and ask him....like I did.
in response to llbnine:
Reguarding John Evin's letter to the editor. Wondering how Solomon Ortiz will vote on healthcare? Why don't you call his office and ask him....like I did.
So why don't you fill us in? How is Ortiz going to vote?
Smart move Peguy! Let's pass a bill then figure out what's in it, then lobby Ortiz to change it??All Ortiz is concerned with is greasing his defense contractors that get earmarks and working his China contacts. Libby, this paper won't investigate where Ortiz stands on any matter important to this area. You have to go to Fox News to hear about the award winning Congressman for pocketing US tax dollars on every trip he makes around the world.
Where has Ortiz created any jobs over the past 20 years, except for his cronies! A Politician will promise anything, and deliver squat! Ortiz and his buddies have lined their pockets and all live nicely on Ocean Drive. Wake up, smell the stench, and keep this group under close watch! They are all self dealing and don't want you to see!
Well there you go! Berry could have made this a lot easier if he'd layed out the players a few weeks ago! Now Ortiz pops his head out! Berry, Ortiz, and I'm sure brother-in-law Borchard along with the big democrat donors (check out the cross donations to all on Ortiz's committee). Ortiz needs to get his rear back in Washington and weigh in on the matters most crucial to our country and quit working his projects. Amtex Security, APEX, Dos Logistics...any or this ring a bell?
Re: Heads will RollAll attention needs to be directed to the House of Representatives who will be called upon to pass the Senate bill cramed through on Christmas Eve. What is the position of our so called Representative Ortiz?? When will this paper or any media make his position apparent to this district?
Regarding Time Warner/HD TV;
Time Warner can't handle their current HD load. I've fought with them now for 6 months due to their poor signal. KRIS (NBC) is butchered all day everyday!
Willie hits the nail right on the head, which is why he is fought at every turn by the boys in power. Berry needs to be the next to go, and this commission can start dealing straight up, and stop self dealing.
I wish our DA would spend more time prosecuting the criminals that roam our streets and less time trying to keep Celis' lawyer buddies protected.
Willie has great insight on these dealings. First, the paper or radio stations won't go here due to lawsuits having been threatened by certain key individuals in the Ortiz camp. When the subject of electing Port Commissioners came up years ago, Bonilla fought this tooth and nail; he couldn't win an election for dog catcher. Follow the money of Govt/defense contracts let out to local companies, then follow the campaign funds. Ortiz - Amtex Security - Dos Logistics (remember these guys?) and on and on...
Quick Booben!... swear in Al Jones just like you did Mike Carrell last year! When you and Ken Berry agree on anything, all in this town should be concerned! At least Mike, Judy and Richard are not caving in to the power machine.

Experts unsure whether Iran is behind bank DDoS attacks
Sophistication of attacks points to possible state sponsor, but there's no proof yet, say security experts
Computerworld - Though U.S. officials blamed Iran for an ongoing stream of distributed denial of service attacks (DDoS) against major U.S. banks, security experts say there's not enough evidence yet to assign blame.
The security experts say that the attacks over the past few months appear to be very well planned and that the attackers have much knowledge of the weak spots in U.S. financial services networks, which could make them state sponsored.
Meanwhile, the ongoing attacks have reportedly prompted some banks to seek the help of the National Security Agency (NSA).
The Washington Post on Friday quoted an unnamed bank official as saying that banks are seeking NSA help due to a growing sophistication of DDoS attacks against them.
Earlier this week, the New York Times quoted a former official in the U.S State and Commerce Department as saying that there is "no doubt" within the U.S. government that Iran is behind the attacks.
A group calling itself "Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Cyber Fighters" has claimed responsibility for a series of DDoS attacks against several large U.S. banks including Wells Fargo, JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America and U.S. Bancorp.
The group claims to be based in Iran and says the attacks are in protest of YouTube's refusal to take down a trailer of the controversial anti-Islam movie that roiled much of the Middle East last year.
The DDoS attacks began last September and have shown no signs of abating.
If anything, the attacks have become more sophisticated and disruptive, said Scott Hammack, chief executive officer at Prolexic Technologies, a security firm that has been helping some of the largest U.S. banks fend off the attacks.
Unlike past DDoS attacks, the ongoing attacks are much more high-bandwidth and more frequent, Hammack said. For instance, Prolexic recently observed high-bandwidth attacks against two separate banks that were launched at the same time.
One of the attacks generated 75GBps of DDoS traffic while the other generated 45GBps. Such high-bandwidth attacks, which used to occur once or twice a year, have become almost routine, he said.
Unlike past DDoS attacks, in which attackers commanded hundreds of thousands of infected PCs to send streams of useless traffic to targeted systems, the latest ones involve thousands of comprised servers capable of generating far greater DDoS traffic, he said.
Whoever is behind the attacks also appears to be using so-called "push technology" to control the infected servers in real-time he said.
The technology allows attackers to turn on and turn off DDoS attacks and redirect DDoS streams at will, Hammack said. "They have a very good knowledge of what infrastructure to go after, particularly weak spots in the infrastructure," he said.

6th December 2012 - Ascribe is pleased to announce the sale of its market leading Emergency Care clinical IT solution to County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust ("County Durham & Darlington"). The solution will be initially installed in the Acute Emergency Departments at Durham University Hospital and Darlington Memorial Hospital, and will provide a single interface for clinically managing patients across the Trust. Using the latest integration technology in clinical information systems from Ascribe, their Health Application Platform, Ascribe's Emergency Care solution (Symphony) will integrate with the Trust's existing Ascribe clinical systems, including the Ascribe CaMIS EPR. The solution will also enable County Durham & Darlington to go paperless across their Emergency Care departments.
A second phase to deliver Ascribe Unscheduled Care solution across all Urgent Care settings is also available. Ascribe's Emergency Care solution is locally configurable and allows real-time workflow monitoring against national standards. It provides clinicians with a visually rich interface that tracks patients from their point of admission through to discharge. Whilst capable of drawing upon clinical and administrative patient data from multiple sources, including the Summary Care Record, the solution captures all clinical aspects of the Patient Journey and automates the generation of clinical reports, freeing clinicians to focus on providing care.
In addition to the standard configuration, County Durham and Darlington have requested that Ascribe's Emergency Care solution should automatically generate detailed clinical discharge messages for all attendances, these notes are to be sent to all appropriate clinicians.
The Ascribe ED system to be implemented at County Durham & Darlington includes patient triage and tracking, clinical orders, bed management, multidisciplinary progress notes and clinical documentation and a Business Intelligence data reporting solution designed by Ascribe's Consultancy team. It will deliver a fully electronic workflow for medical, nursing, allied health and administrative staff within the project budget and timeline.
Andrew Izon, Associate Director of Health Informatics at the Trust commented "Ascribe's Emergency Care system will ultimately replace three legacy clinical systems across all of our Acute Emergency Care Centres and Unscheduled Care Admissions Units. It will provide a single registration process and a shared clinical emergency care database at County Durham & Darlington for the first time. This joined-up approach fits with the Trust's strategic goals; it will benefit our patients and provide our clinicians with a market leading and functionally rich IT system; helping to reduce some of their administrative workload and allowing more time to be spent with patients."
Stephen Critchlow, CEO of Ascribe, commented "I am delighted that County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust have selected Ascribe's Emergency Care and Consultancy solutions. We are committed to improving patient safety by ensuring clinicians have access to a complete health record for each patient as they diagnose and recommend care pathways. This order marks the next phase in our strategic relationship with County Durham and Darlington."

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
The new combined company is expected to ship more than 50 million hard drives annually for use in desktop computers, Intel-based servers and consumer electronic applications, the company said in a statement. The combined company is expected to offer a range of hard drives, SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) drives, consumer electronic hard disk drives and network attached storage (NAS).
Maxtor said the company will maintain Quantum's current manufacturing relationship with Matsushita-Kotobuki Electronics Industries and also continue to utilise its current manufacturing capability, including its centre in Singapore.
The transaction, which was unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both companies, will create a business with annual revenues of $US6 billion, Maxtor said. The acquisition is expected to be completed by early 2001, the company said.
Quantum's DLT and Storage Systems Group is not involved in the acquisition and will operate as its own company.
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

EducationUSA is an organization of non-profit advising centers that are supported and/or endorsed by the U.S. Department of State. Their purpose is to provide assistance to students who would like to study in the United States. Students who work with EducationUSA are more informed about the visa process and therefore more likely to be successful in obtaining a student visa. PLEASE NOTE: Applications from Nigerian students WILL NOT be reviewed and status emails will not be answered until the EducationUSA registration confirmation is submitted. This requirement has been put in place to provide the best possible chance of success with the visa process.

Building Checks
Talk to members of the Dover Police Department, and you'll find out that their job isn't simply to wait for somethign bad to happen and then go try to find the bad guy. In fact, arugably their most important job is preventing crime from happening in the first place.
One of the ways in which the Dover Police Department helps prevent crime is by doing building checks throughout the day (and night) of all the town buildings. This includes the Dover Town House, Dover-Sherborn Middle School and Dover-Sherborn High School, among others.
Making sure these buildings are locked and secure when not in use can keep unwanted people from entering and committing crimes.
