Unanimous Supreme Court: Get a warrant before installing GPS tracking device
The ruling upholds a broad right to be free from unreasonable searches. But it also highlights a struggle within the Supreme Court to balance law enforcement objectives with privacy concerns.
(Page 3 of 3)
Nonetheless, investigators used the device to track the vehicle's movements for a month. The assembled data revealed patterns in Jones's daily routine, and regular visits to a particular house in Fort Washington, Maryland.

After agents overheard Jones discussing a possible large cocaine shipment, they used the GPS data to identify the suspected stash house. A raid on that location recovered 97 kilograms of cocaine, nearly a kilo of crack cocaine, and $850,000 in cash.
At trial, Jones was convicted of running a drug trafficking conspiracy. He was sentenced to life in prison.
But the case wasn't over. His lawyer appealed, arguing that the investigators violated Jones's Fourth Amendment rights by conducting the GPS surveillance without a valid warrant.
Lawyers for the government justified the warrantless use of the GPS tracking device by comparing it to less sophisticated beeper technology that allowed agents to follow a suspect package by using a concealed radio transmitter.
In 1983, the Supreme Court ruled that agents did not have to obtain a warrant before installing and using the transmitter to track a package. The court said there was no reasonable expectation of privacy in the public movement of a package from one location to another.
The beeper technology required agents to physically follow the package and to remain close enough to it to receive the transmitted signal. In contrast, the GPS tracker requires no real time monitoring by any human agent. The device automatically transmits its location to a computer database.
The appeals court in the Jones case ruled that a radio transmitter is different than a GPS tracking device. The GPS device allowed agents to observe Jones's movements around the clock without any physical presence or surveillance by a human agent.
The appeals court said GPS technology enables the government to discover substantial private details of a person's life from his or her movements over time.
"A person who knows all of another's travels can deduce whether he is a weekly church-goer, a heavy drinker, a regular at the gym, an unfaithful husband, an outpatient receiving medical treatment, an associate of particular individuals or political groups – and not just one such fact about a person but all such facts," the appeals court said.
In upholding the appeals court, Justice Scalia said the high court's decision did not clash with the earlier decision in the beeper case. He said the beeper had been physically installed in a package with the knowledge of the owner of the package and, thus, no warrant was necessary to insert the device and track it to its destination.
In contrast, Jones was in possession of his car at all times when the GPS device was physically installed. That intrusion against the owner, Scalia said, was unreasonable without a warrant.

Large cache of smuggled exotic animals seized in Philippines
MANILA (AFP) - Wildlife officers said on Wednesday they had seized almost 100 exotic animals and birds, including cockatoos, echidnas and wallabies, that had been smuggled into the Philippines for sale to wealthy collectors.
The cache, hidden in small containers in a van, was made up of wildlife from Australia, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, said Mr Eric Gallego, spokesman for the local office of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
They included yellow-crested cockatoos and long-beaked echidnas, two species listed as "critically endangered" by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.
They also included four wallabies from Australia and about 90 exotic parrots from Indonesia, said Mr Gallego.

The Indian rupee fell by 7 paise to quote at 46.57/58 against US dollar in late morning deals on the back of month-end dollar buying by importers amid sluggish trend in equities.
At the Interbank Foreign Exchange (Forex) market, the domestic unit had opened marginally up by 2 paise at 46.48 from Friday's close, before being quoted at 46.57/58 in late morning deals.
Local currency had ended up by 24 paise at 46.50/51 against dollar on October 23.
The rupee was under pressure following month-end dollar demand from importers, mainly oil refiners, to meet their monthly requirements.
Further, the Indian benchmark Sensex, despite firm Asian cues, was quoting lower by over 61 points at 1030 hours, thus weighing on the rupee.

Zalman's ZM-NB47J is a fully adjustable Northbridge heatsink. It comes with 2 springs. Because the links aren't permanently attached you can adjust them so that the heatsink fits onto the motherboard with maximum clearance.
The 37mm square unit is 47mm high with a plethora of pins placed perfectly to provide a large amount of surface area to dissipate heat. This makes a fan unnecessary, giving you all the peace (or maybe war) and quiet you need. Zalman's ZM-NB47J is a cool customer to keep your case from cookin'!

Pros: Looks nice, quality Cons: Not as big as I thought. Maybe teh same amount of material as alot of other NB HS's, but for me, much more was involved in the cooling fins, and I believe that made the difference. Other Thoughts: I added a 40mm fan on top of this sucker. Used some simple deck screws to screw down through the fins of the HS. Got a cheap active on NB and I've managed to push my NB another 200hz higher because of it! 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
NicePros: Fit onto my old MSI Neo4 Platinum SLI (MS-7125). Cons: Bottom surface is blue anodized; should be bare metal for least thermal resistance Other Thoughts: Pin fins and mounting method design makes this heat sink forgiving to motherboards with poorly placed chipsets. Great purchase to replace those stupid 40mm fans on a lot of chipset heat sinks. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Efficient, inexpensive coolerPros: Lowered Northbridge temps on my Gigabyte G41-M Combo drastically. Nice fit, even with a Zalman CPU cooler right above it. Cool blue color, matches my blue LED scheme in my case. Cons: Had to use original push pins from old Northbridge heat sink because supplied ones were too small in diameter to snap into my motherboard (Gigabyte G41-M Combo). Had to drill out holes in links to make the old push pins fit. getting links to line up properly before tightening links screws a somewhat tedious process. Other Thoughts: If you're not at least somewhat handy with tools or don't have the patience to do this right, I recommend getting someone more tech savvy to do it or not doing it at all. Did you find this review helpful? |
Works finePros: Attached easy. No moving parts, so it made no sound (obviously). Seemed to work well. Nice color. Cons: No problems. Other Thoughts: Wish I bought it sooner and hadn't bought a fan first. Did you find this review helpful? |
Cooled me down about 10cPros: Cooled me down about 10c on my MSI-770 g45 Cons: It doesn't feel tight on, it is on properly but just doesn't feel right... Other Thoughts: This will fit most of your motherboards from AMD, just don't loose the screws and nuts, they are very small 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: Replaced a NB HSF combo and worked great. Cons: None. Did you find this review helpful? |
Great heatsinkPros: This is a great little heatsink for the price Cons: none Did you find this review helpful? |
works greatPros: Works great and cools better than the stock motherboard fan I replaced. The low spot was just perfect for clearing my video card. Cons: None Other Thoughts: Replaced an anemic/loud MSI K9N4 SLI motherboard fan. I have been using it for more than 3 years without issue. Did you find this review helpful? |
Worked for me, need a dremelPros: My Motherboard had those super tiny annoying fans that made lots of noise an didn't move any air. I replaced them with this guy and had better cooling with no noise! Cons: Mounting hardware felt a little clumsy. I have been using it over a year with no issues so I guess I can't really complain. Other Thoughts: They are much bigger than my stock heatsinks, If you have a large CPU cooler and a poorly placed north and southbridge, a dremel might be needed to remove some fins. I measured and knew this beforehand, make sure you do the same. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Efficient MHC Class I-Independent Amino-Terminal Trimming of Epitope Precursor Peptides in the Endoplasmic Reticulum
Immunity, Volume 15, Issue 3, 1 September 2001, Pages 467-476
Doriana Fruci, Gabriele Niedermann, Richard H Butler and Peter M van Endert
SummaryMHC class I ligands are produced mainly by proteasomal proteolysis, in conjunction with an unknown extent of trimming by peptidases. Trimming of precursor peptides in the endoplasmic reticulum, a process postulated to be class I dependent, may substantially enhance the efficiency of antigen presentation. However, monitoring of luminal peptide processing has not so far been possible. Here we show that several precursor peptides with amino-terminal extensions are rapidly converted to HLA-A2 ligands by one or several highly efficient metallo-peptidases found on the outer surface of, but also within, microsomes. Surprisingly, luminal trimming is fully active in HLA class I- or TAP-deficient microsomes and precedes peptide association with HLA class I molecules. Trimmed peptides are rapidly depleted from, and become undetectable in, microsomes lacking the restricting class I molecules.

Immunity, Volume 9, Issue 1, 1 July 1998, Pages 115-125
Patrick C. Swanson and Stephen Desiderio
SummaryProtein interactions with V(D)J recombination signal sequences (RSSs) were mapped in complexes containing RAG1 with (M1/2) or without (M1) RAG2. In both complexes, RAG interactions with the DNA backbone are biased toward one side of the helix; nonamer contacts resemble those of Hin with hixL. In the M1 complex, DNA contacts are centered on the nonamer. In the M1/2 complex, protein-RSS interactions extend through the spacer and into the nonamer-proximal portion of the heptamer. Chemical modifications near the heptamer-coding junction are overrepresented in the M1/2 complex, providing evidence for perturbation of DNA structure in this region. Thus, while RAG1 alone can bind the nonamer, RAG2 is required for heptamer occupancy.

- Background: Cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs) recognize complexes of short peptides with major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules. MHC molecules are polymorphic, and the products of different MHC alleles bind to different subsets of peptides. This is due to differences in the shape of the peptide-binding groove on the surface of the MHC protein, especially the 'pockets' into which anchor residues at each end of the peptide fit. Non-peptidic ligands for class I molecules may be useful clinically.Results: By applying computer-aided design methods guided by X-ray structures, we designed and synthesized several MHC class I ligands, based on known peptide ligands, in which the tricyclic, aromatic compound phenanthridine replaced the central amino acids of the peptides. These semi-peptidic fluorescent ligands bound with high affinity and with allelic specificity to the peptide-binding groove of different MHC class I molecules, forming crystallizable complexes.Conclusions: Specificity for binding to different MHC class I molecules can be imparted to the common phenanthridine element by judicious choice of terminal peptidic elements from either nonamer or decamer peptides. The phenanthridine-based ligands have a long bound half-life, as do antigenic peptides.

I think there are better liquid liners on the market.
This is just OKAY not great, not terrible, just meh.
The pros:
The brush is super thin and can make sparse eye lashes look fuller because of the ability to get to the eyelash line.For women with thin tiny lashes this is helpful.
The color is beautiful. I chose a brown and it is true to a dark brown.
Easy to use handle. Especially if you are new at wings.
The cons:
Overpriced for the amount in the container. $8.00 for 0.08 fluid oz
The negative about the thin brush is if you want to use a thicker line, you can not get into the tiny bottle with a larger brush. You have to love the brush that comes with this bottle.
Lasting power is okay. Better than a pencil but not better than other liquid liners on the market.

I love the formula, doesn't wipe off on my oily lids. I have the brown/black color and it's perfect. And it's opaque. However, I hate the felt tip applicator. It's my fault for becoming accustomed to Maybelline's Stiletto applicator. But it needs to be a smidgen longer for people with long lids like me. If I can work with the narrow lid and thick felt-tip, I may give it a higher overall rating. For now, 2/5.

LOVE THIS. I have tried lots of eyeliners, including high and low end and this one tops them all. It works great, is easy to apply and is easy to correct if you do mess up. The color is also super black which I love. I use this on both my bottom waterline and top above my lashes. Couldn't ask for a better product, hope this is never d/c!
The BEST eyeliner on the market. The tip makes for the most precise application, and it lasts all day. I have tried other more expensive brands (Mac, Bobbi Brown, Chanel), but this is just an overall superior product. Highly recommend.

I absolutely love this eyeliner. I have been using it for about 3 years now. It's so precise and makes your winged eyeliner PERFECT! The price is affordable for drugstore makeup, packaging is simple and it lasts for hours on end. Definitely recommend and will repurchase once again.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have tried so many liquid liners and this is probably the best!
It stays on even under running water. Unless you have really oily skin this is perfect and will last as long as you want to keep it on.

Love it! I've been using this for years. Usually on sale at grocery stores. I usually touch it up onto lunch break because it fades sometimes but that's ok, doesn't take much to do so.

A must have for your everyday look. Easy to use brush, product has excellent staying power, especially considering I have the oiliest skin. I like applying it on upper lash line, a little strong for the lower line in my opinion. I use the Kevin Aucoin technique of lifting the upper lashes and applying on the skin very close to the eye. I wear contacts and if product gets in my eye it doesn't get irritated and wipes away very easily.

I just bought my second bottle of this in Blackest Black. After going through several of the Almay liquid eyeliners, I picked my first bottle of this up at the pharmacy a few months ago and was happy to find that where Almay failed, Revlon succeeded.
-Blackest Black is JET Black - My biggest beef with most liquid eyeliners is that they are not black enough. Not even KVD and some of those high end ones. That's why I stuck to Almay for so long. It was the darkest liner I could find.
-Staying power is awesome.
-Brush maintains shape throughout life of the product and you can draw a nice, precise, DARK line - This is unlike Almay liquid eyeliner. That brush gets too frazzled and soft for a precise line by the time I'm nearing the end of the bottle.
-Doesn't sting when you accidentally get it in your eye - Almay hurts a lot!
Uhhhh.....I dunno.

Near-Magical Music Identification
By Dave | September 15, 2008 | 11 Comments
Quite by accident, I discovered something new about iTunes today; it can identify music on a CD that you burn from vinyl, seemingly by way of magic.
Over the weekend I was talking with a friend about some of the music we listened to years ago, and I offered to lend him some that I thought he'd enjoy. I was digging through some of my old LP's and cassette tapes yesterday, and on a whim decided to digitize a few of the albums and put them on CD — he doesn't have a turntable, and it'd been a while since I'd listened to them & thought it'd be nice to listen in the car.
I used one of those CD's today — not exactly CD-quality, recorded as it was from an album that was cut in 1981 — but it worked great (and it's almost scary to realize that I still knew the lyrics word for word!) I brought the CD in the house this evening, and my son was wondering what it sounded like, so I popped it into my wife's kitchen computer (an old Mac laptop) so we could listen. Much to our amazement, once iTunes fired up, the album name and song titles were right there!
Now keep in mind that this CD started out from a dusty 27-year-old LP, played on a not-very-well-kept turntable. The turntable is connected to a receiver, which has a patch cable with an 1/8" stereo plug connected to the mic input on my computer; pure analog. The analog audio was digitized using a shareware audio editing app (Amadeus II) and saved out to a plain vanilla aiff file, then burned to a CD-R with Toast. I didn't go to the trouble of naming any of the tracks, nor did I do anything to help the computer identify the music, much less take the time to clean up the LP's hiss & pop from the audio. But in the time it took to launch iTunes on a 233MHz G3 PowerBook, it was able to sample the music on the CD, connect with Gracenote CDDB and match those samples to the entry in their database. Wow.
The magic happens via the Gracenote Recognition service:
As a recognition service, we… enable… applications to access our database and recognition services. On most commercial music compact discs, there is no disc title, artist, track title, credits, or other information that a player running on your computer can extract and display for you.
… However, a licensed application can lookup the CD in the database and return the title and track information to the application for display by the time you hear the first notes of the album.
I understand the basic mechanics of what's going on, but it just floors me that it can happen so fast. I've seen iTunes identify CD's before, but they were all commercial disks, and just figured that there was something digitally encoded on the disk that helped iTunes and Gracenote know what was on it. I've also used my Verizon Razr V3's V-Cast Song ID app a number of times, but that has to "listen" for 10 seconds, then has to think about it a little before it can identify a song. But iTunes did an entire CD in a matter of three or four seconds.
While it's not exactly magic, the way it works is still pretty magical, don't you think?
And what a classic album (and artist) to bring this magic to light.
As a question, does anyone know if Gracenote uses the number of tracks / track lengths to work some of it's magic, or something like that?
Gee, Dave – does this mean I'll be able to enjoy the magic this weekend? :)
Looking forward to hearing some good stuff – many thanks!
You got it, Big Rick! You could even stop by earlier than that if you're in the neighborhood.
Darren: Not sure if the track length would be accurate enough. The length of a given song is somewhat variable, especially when dealing with an LP; a little variation in the turntable speed could vary the length of a song by quite a bit, then you throw in manual editing to trim the dead air from the beginning and end… But then again, if it matched a sound pattern on the first track and then checked the lengths of the others to see if they fit within a certain range, that might work. But that's obviously just a guess.
Glad to hear I'm not the only one who appreciates some Larry Norman!
I'll check-out Amadaues II. I use the Final Vinyl 1.0 (that comes with the iMic) to import into Quicktime for editing. Then export to .aiff. When I drag the .aiff files iTunes, they behave normally. However, they will not play on the iPod. Kind of defeats my purpose for digitizing a record collection.
ben: Amadeus is nice for editing, but Audacity works pretty well too and is an open-source freebie.
I think to get the aiff files to play on an iPod you need to convert them to AAC or mp3 first (set it up in Preferences – Advanced – Importing, then right-click on an aiff file in iTunes and pull down to Convert to…). aiff files should play on an iPod, but I've heard of others having trouble with them too. Besides, putting uncompressed audio on an iPod chews up a lot of space in a hurry, and most people won't hear the difference between the two. Definitely keep the high-quality aiff and/or burn it to an audio CD, but use compressed files on the iPod.
Thank you, Dave! I just downloaded them both and will try them out.
"Hold the phone up, record a sample, send it through your network provider, and GraceNote will match it up with its acoustic fingerprinting database." – (click on my name for the URL) How cool is that? CDDB only generates a check number (ID) based on the track layout on your CD and relies on the assumption that no two CDs with different sounding files could ever have the same exact layout. GraceNote is much cooler!
anyway.. my point being it works for any source, even a cruddy 3KHz sample from a cell phone microphone… unbelievable.
MusicBrainz does this too — basically creates a digital fingerprint of your mp3 and compares it to its user-created database.
Gracenote CDDB does indeed use the track lengths to identify the album. It was just lucky that the signal levels detected as start/stop points for each track gave timings that were close enough to those calculated by the program that you used. Or they could even have been uploaded by another user who had ripped the LP exactly as you had done…
Lucky? It's worked on half a dozen other LP's I've digitized since writing this. Seems more like magic to me. ;)

I'm Irish (What? Laussade is totally an Irish name. I shortened it from McO'Malleylaussade). Being part of the Irish club is cool. It means I'm lucky, I sunburn easily, and my alcoholism and my inability to cook are genetic. If you're Irish, or you like Irish stuff or you just want to drink and cuss out the Scottish with thousands of people, be awesome and check out the Greenville Avenue St. Patrick's Day Parade 11 a.m. Saturday at Greenville Avenue at Blackwell Street. There'll be more than 1,700 people in the parade, floats, prizes for the best costumes, leprechauns (Don't call 'em "little people," by the way. They'll bite you in the knee.), an after-party ($10) featuring the Toadies at Energy Square on the corner of Greenville Avenue and University Boulevard (but if you don't have a pot of tickets to the Toadies concert at the end of a rainbow, you miss out on that part because it's sold out) and, of course, green beer. Because what's more Irish than beer with green food coloring in it? Nothing. Except maybe an Irish guy barfing green beer. Ride the DART Light Rail to Park Lane or Lovers Lane so you can get your drunken ass home after. Call 214-757-9000 or visit dallasobserver.com.

10 Responses to "Myrtle Beach Fossil"
I have one like this that I found last Thanksgiving, near Myrtle Beach/Cherry Grove, S.C.
By comparison, mine is not as complete. It has about half of it eroded away, as if the materials that forme it were mixed and one was more durable than the other (?). Anyway, the lines and shape are identical. If you ever find out the species and age, I would love to know!

The first phone call Monday night was mysterious.
A person who did not identify herself said she was curious why we didn't have anything about "Mayor Kirk having to throw Mac Bell out of her fund-raiser" that had been held Saturday night.
I thought that conjured up some interesting images, but I gave the woman the only answer I had: I told her that we had not heard about any such incident, but that we would look into it.
I frankly suspected that, if there was somehow any clash between Gloucester's mayoral candidates, it didn't quite happen as she had described. Then, however, came an email from one of our semi-regular letter writers, saying that there had been a confrontation of sorts between the mayor and Mac, and other calls followed, suggesting, like the letter writer, that it ought to be worth a story.
Was it? I thought about that for a minute then decided it was at least worth pursuing. For starters, I called Lenny Linquata at The Gloucester House, where the mayor had held her Saturday night fund-raiser. He confirmed that Bell had indeed turned up, and that the mayor had asked him to leave.
With that, reporter Marjorie Nesin contacted both candidates, who essentially confirmed Lenny's version of what had taken place – and had their own explanations as to why they acted and handled things the way they did.
Now, was that worth a story? You bet.
In fact, as the day wore on, I felt the story Marje crafted from her conversations with Kirk and with Bell was indeed a tale that readers would find interesting. The result was "Bell proves unwelcome guest at Kirk benefit," which ran across the top of Wednesday's lively front page, with photos of both from their campaign kickoff visits to the Times several days earlier.
Now, this clearly was not a story about each candidates' campaign stands. Neither had announced any new economic, education, budget or other policies. And we don't generally do any coverage of political fund-raisers, given that, if we covered one, we'd feel obliged to cover them all — and there's really no reason to do that.
So, you may ask, did this story deserve top-of-the-page attention? Did it deserve Page 1? Should it have been a story at all?
Why, in other words, did your community's newspaper do that?
Well, we did it partly because the fact that the city's two mayoral candidates had clashed a bit was indeed news, in my book.
Another factor was that talk of the brief verbal exchange was already making the rounds of the city, and it gave us a chance to document and clarify what happened. Finally, I felt the exchange and the story gave voters a look at the candidates' personalities — perhaps looks that don't always come out when they're outlining their views and carving out positions in what should prove to be an interesting race.
By virtually all accounts, here's what happened: The mayor was kicking off her re-election campaign with a fund-raiser, which hed been declared open to the public — and Bell decided he'd show up.
Sound crazy? Maybe, but Bell noted there was a context to it.
He noted that, a week earlier, at least a couple of Kirk campaign workers/volunteers had shown up at his kickoff event, when he greeted voters and outlined his views. In the latter case, however, Bell showed up himself, and Kirk asked him to leave, noting that his presence made some of her guests who'd paid for the party "uncomfortable." She also indicated that she didn't want to be discussing "campaign strategy" with her challenger in the room.
Judging from a couple of letters, calls, and online comments at gloucestertimes.com, the story has generated a mixed reaction, with — not surprisingly — differing views from both sides.
Did it advance either campaign? Did it change anyone's view of either candidate? Maybe, maybe not. But we thought you at least deserved to know about it, and that made it a story.
As always, let me know what you think.

by Laura Davenport, aka WhiteFluffyIcing
On June 22, 2012, our shiny new website received its first blog entry, a discussion about music penned by our esteemed Honolulu Mother.
Since then, we've discussed travel plans, politics, bucket lists, religion, and household dynamics. We've swapped reading lists and recipes. We've advised each other on parenting, relationships, careers, and personal finance. We've compared life experiences and learned from one another's successes and failures.
For me, the most interesting aspect of this whole arrangement is the altruism. We have no stake in each other's lives — no real reason to assist each other, and let's face it, no reason to admonish each other, either. The specific impetus for each of us to contribute to this exchange is unique, but when you boil it down, we all want to be the best possible version of ourselves — and we want that for each other, too.
When the site launched, I felt I was humoring a collective itch to have more control over our discussions. I honestly thought that doing so would inspire the The Old Site to make some changes, and in so doing, attract us back with renewed vigor — which would render The Totebag obsolete. It was supposed to be a well-organized, peaceful protest. Clearly, I was naive.
Today, I want to share with you some behind-the-scenes information about our humble home, and then open up the discussion for what I hope will be honest, usable feedback.
* * * * * * *
Today's entry is officially our 231st, and at press-time, there have been 24,740 comments made.
In terms of traffic, we've had 573,908 views all-time. But don't let this number mislead you… every time you click refresh, you add a number to that ticker. The most hits we've ever received in a single day was 3,828 on October 10, 2012, the day that The Juggle ran my Q&A with Alison Lichter. (We've come close to that number many times, and frankly, I'm surprised that record still stands.)
The posts with the most views have been, in descending order: "Is Editing a Life a Lie?" by Uncertain, "Dealing with ADHD" by LaurafromBaltimore, "The Nation Reacts," which immediately followed the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary, and "The Political Party Quiz," submitted by costofcollege.
WordPress recently improved their site stats feature to include information about unique visitors, and it looks like there are roughly 350 unique IP addresses that visit our site on a given weekday (and no, I have absolutely no way to see what those IP addresses are — I just see a composite number). The highest number of unique visitors I've seen for a single day is 389, but I don't look at this all that often. My best guess based on my highly unscientific observations is that there are between 400 and 500 Totebaggers in the world, assuming that there's some churn in that daily 350 number.
Geographically, all I have is views by country (no breakdown for regions, states, etc.). The vast majority of our views come from the United States, as expected, but we also receive visitors from all over the world. After the US, the top five countries in terms of traffic are Canada, India, the United Kingdom, France, and Australia, but the full list is as long as my arm — 106 countries in all. I realize this is the world wide web, and some of that traffic comes from bots, but I still find this baffling.
* * * * * * *
Now that I've given you such specific information, I'll kindly ask you to do the same:
- What improvements can we make to The Totebag?
- Do we need to tweak the posting schedule?
- Do we have enough topical variety, and if not, how can we expand it? (Note: I get tons of suggestions for topics, but what we really need in order to expand the topic base is folks willing to actually write the stuff.)
- How attached are all of you to the Meaty Monday (I just made that up), Ask The Totebag Wednesday, Friday Fun, and Coffee Talk articles in between? In other words, if I don't have any Ask The Totebag queries, would Earth tilt on its axis if I ran a Coffee Talk that Wednesday instead?
- What if I get hit by a beer truck? Aside from the scheduled topics running out, how would you all ever know — and what would become of The Totebag? (In real life, having a backup administrator is the obvious answer… but how would I train someone I've never met?)
- On a related note, is there any desire to have a rotation of editor-administrators — to inject some fresh perspective? Not that there's much in the way of actual editorializing, other than determining the timing of the posts… but I never dreamed that having our own site would hold our interest this long, so I have next to nothing in mind in terms of a long-range plan.
Totebaggers, congratulations on our first year together! What do you really think about what we're doing here? What's your outlook on the future of this site?

UPDATE: Virgin Media rolls out its TiVo-powered next-gen entertainment system
Updated 17.03.11
Virgin Media has today activated the third tuner in its new TiVo HD set-top boxes.
When we first saw a demo of the system at Virgin HQ last December only two of the tuners were working.
Now all three are in action, which means users can record two television programmes simultaneously, while watching a third. This is one of its key advantages over the Sky+ HD box, which only has two tuners.
The update to activate the third tuner has been pushed over Virgin's cable TV network today, so existing customers won't need to do anything for it to work.
We've been promised installation of our test TiVo box on March 30th, so will bring you more feedback then. In the meantime, you can find out more in our dedicated blog.
Published 01.12.10
Announced this morning is Virgin Media TV powered by TiVo, which the company is describing as 'the UK's first next-generation entertainment platform'.
Using a new TiVo-developed set-top box, the new service brings together live TV with catch-up, on-demand programming and web-based applications, all bundled with a 1TB personal video recorder able to store up to 500 hours of standard definition.
Selling for £199, plus £26.50 for the XL TiVo package bringing over 160 channels of TV, the new box has three tuners, allowing two channels to be recorded while a third is recorded, and will be backed up with a library of 4600 hours of TV, music and movies on demand.
The system will make use of dedicated channels of bandwidth on Virgin's digital network and a built-in dedicated 10Mbps cable modem, ensuring users can surf and watch TV at the same time without interruption, and will bring TV in standard definition, HD and 3D.
Also part of the software is an intelligent recommendations engine, which will predict the kind of programming a user likes, and suggest further viewing.
And with a choice of 'thumbs up/thumbs down' buttons on the remote control, users can also rate shows and help the system make more accurate suggestions.
The graphical interface will allow searching of content by show, theme, actor or director, and you can even create a wishlist of programmes to be recorded when they become available.
Scroll back seven days
The catch-up services allow viewers to scroll back up to seven days, making it a simple extension of live TV viewing.
The new platform is built on Adobe Flash, allowing video, social networking and information apps to be incorporated. At launch, these include the BBC iPlayer, YouTube, eBay, Twitter and photos from sites including Facebook, and Virgin Media promises the app line-up will expand in the coming months.
Cindy Rose, Virgin Media's executive director of digital entertainment , says that 'For the first time, viewers will have a truly personalised viewing experience so they can get the most out of the wonderful worlds of the internet and TV all in one place.
'We're really excited to bring our customers what is just the first of successive generations of transformational services based on this unique TiVo-powered platform.'
The Virgin Media TV powered by TiVo service will begin to roll out from the middle of this month. For more information, go to the dedicated Virgin TiVo website, or check out our blog feature on the look of the new platform.

Just seen on the Virgin site that "Our new TiVo service is launching in early 2011. We can hardly wait!
Enter your details below to be the first to find out more"
Looks like it won't be launched mid-Dec after all?

May not be popular with married men, who like to watch "adult" programmes when their wives have gone to bed early...

At last! (well, not just yet - they're only pre-registering interested people at the moment!) a V+ box that might actually work properly. That is, you make a selection on the remote and then don't have time for the usual cup of tea before the V+ box decides to respond.
But are Virgin going to give us loyal customers these boxes so that we can actually get proper service from the subscription? Nah, we're going to have to pay extra! Are these going to be included in a new standard subscription, and if my existing boxes stop working....will I get these from the back of the Virgin man's van next time?

Bonus Note: Pete Flynn, Mets groundskeeper, is throwing out the first pitch. Flynn has been with the organization since 1962 and is retiring after the game. He left Ireland in 1961 to join the team, and then helped build the ticket booths and the Polo Grounds. After the fans celebrated on the field in 1969, he had to re-sod the field three times. When the black cat was hanging out in front of the Cubs dugout, he was the one who chased the feline away. When the stadium was converted to a football stadium during the Jets years, he was a major factor in the process. He drove the Beatles from the stage out to the centerfield gate and their waiting helicopter in 1965, and then drove Paul McCartney to the stage when he played with Billy Joel. He has cut the grass every day when the Mets were home and three times a week when they were on the road.
Thanks Pete Flynn!

Product Type: Chad Valley Doll

Chad Valley My First Doll's Pram - good price, ideal size for toddler
Chad Valley My First Dolls' Pram
Member Name: karlsm93
Chad Valley My First Dolls' Pram
Date: 12/01/13
Advantages: Great first pram, great height, sturdy
Disadvantages: Nothing major given the price
My daughter started showing some interest in dolls around her first birthday and would carry around some of her older female cousin's dolls when at her grandparents house where they are kept. It was after seeing this that I thought my daughter would like a pram from 'Santa' but I didn't want one that was too fancy, as she doesn't have the imagination yet to do that much with it, but secondly, I knew as she got older, if she continued to show interest in dolls, she would want a fancy pram and that would be the time to get it for her. Back in the Autumn Argos were doing a 3 for 2 toy event and I decided to get my daughter some of her Santa presents early and avail of the deal. It was in Argos that I saw this Chad Valley My First Dolls Pram, which retails at £16.99, which I think is a fair price for the size and quality of the item.
This pram has been designed for children from 3 years plus, which I think is ridiculous. My daughter was 16 months old at Christmas and this was firstly, the perfect height for her to push around, and secondly, there is nothing that I can see that is of danger to a younger child. My daughter already had a little buggy for her couple of dolls, but it was a bit flimsy, and this is certainly much sturdier for her. SHe would really have to be putting down her full weight to tip it, and this has yet to happen, and I wouldn't say she is always gentle on it!
The frame of this pram is a tubular steel style, and it was my husband who set it up for my daughter on Christmas morning, very quickly and without any hassle. It really was only a matter of setting up the frame and adding the wheels. The pram has material on the inside of the bed part, and on the hood, which can be pulled up or placed down and is easy enough for small hands to move. The material is pink with a yellow and pink flower design and I wouldn't say it is the most luxurious of style or material, but then again, given the price, it is hardly to be expected and also given how rough a young child can be with their toys at times, it wouldn't make sense for a first pram to have the best material - better kept for when they are older and wiser!
This pram does not come with a doll, but is suitable for dolls up to 40cm. My daughter had a couple of small dolls, which although perfect for her little buggy, I thought might look unsuitable in this bigger pram, so I actually purchased the Chad Valley first doll which goes perfectly in this pram.
As I said, this is a perfect size for my little girl and when her daddy had it set up on CHristmas morning, she pushed it around the house with a big smile on her face and we knew we had picked a good toy! I like the fact that the handle has an added gripped texture, meaning she can hold on to it better as she pushes.
My daughter is only really getting into dolls now, giving her dolly a bottle of milk, and taking her for a walk etc but this pram has proved to be a great hit, and I think it is a brilliant pram for the price and as a first pram. I'm sure she will want something fancier when she is bigger but by that stage she will have more imagination to play with her dolls and therefore worth spending more money at that time. At this young stage this is ideal.
Summary: A great first pram for a little girl

Sermon from Sunday, October 4, 2009. First in a series of three. In this first sermon in a series on the Book of Job we talk about what it means to truly seek God in the midst of whatever life throws at us. We see that this book is not about "Why bad things happen to good people"; rather, it is about the nature of our faith and how we relate to God no matter what. Job explodes the traditional "divine retribution" theology that teaches how God rewards the faithful and punishes the wicked. Job seeks a relationship with God who is present in the midst of chaos and suffering; Job seeks to know the God who hangs on our personal cross with us and whispers, "I love you, no matter what."

On Ashley: Max & Cleo dress, Cupcake, $198; Madeline heels, Poppy and Stella, $78; three Tat 2 bracelets, Trillium, $178, $178, $188. (Christopher March, For The Baltimore Sun / October 15, 2012) |
There are plenty of options that will have you looking runway-ready, while remaining true to the holiday.
We combed the racks at some of the region's top clothing boutiques, consignment shops, vintage troves and even a furrier for our "no costumes allowed" photo shoot. We were able to capture period charm from "Downton Abbey," "Boardwalk Empire" and "Mad Men," the futuristic feel of "Hunger Games" and the boho chic of "Girls."
Yes, these ensembles will likely call for more thought and resourcefulness, but you can incorporate the pieces all year long.
Vintage and Consignment Shopping
Period looks require a little digging, but the reward is a one-of-a-kind piece. We were able to find a smoky pair of Manolo Blahnik heels — perfect for "Downton Abbey" — at Love Me Two Times, a Roland Park consignment shop. There, we also scored vintage black heels by Christian Dior and a stunning pink pair of Gucci heels — both perfect to complete a "Mad Men" look.
The fact that top designers opted for a more retro feel this year made finding pieces easier.
Trillium and Jones & Jones carry Milly, which has a number of dresses that echo the "Mad Men" and "Boardwalk Empire" eras. We scooped up a long, black, sheer dress by Nanette Lepore at Trillium, which suited "Boardwalk Empire." Kate Spade bags sold at Handbags in the City added just a little contemporary polish to the "Mad Men" looks.
For history purists, Jill Andrews Gowns provided custom-made gowns that were true to "Game of Thrones" and "Downton Abbey."
In a modern vein, Babe, Ma Petite Shoe and Poppy and Stella ably captured the quirky, youthful feel of HBO's hit show "Girls."
Bijoux, the high-end jewelry boutique, had an array of bling that kept each look polished and true to the time period.
Mano Swartz, the Green Spring Station furrier, provided breath-taking garments that captured the ruggedness of "Game of Thrones" and the sophisticated polish of "Mad Men."
Getting the look
Hair and makeup mean a world of difference when creating your Hollywood-inspired Halloween look. We asked makeup artist Kim Reyes from T.H.E Artist Agency how she was able to whip up distinct looks for our photo shoot. Reyes used Make Up For Ever, available at Sephora.
Mad Men: "It's all about liner and lip," according to Reyes.
Nicolette is wearing eye shadow White Shimmer No. 7, Aqua Liner Matte Black No. 13, Rouge Artist Intense Lipstick Satin Vermillion Red No. 42, Smoky Lash Matte Black
"Boardwalk Empire": A smoky eye and dark lip look of the '20s is key, according to Reyes. "And it's all about color under the lash line," she says.

"Quality reputed" sites in the eyes of the beholder. Most people see their babies a whole lot differently from what they are actually are.
I think this is a topic not worth the time trying to study. PR measures only your link popularity, whereas rankings are actually determined by hundreds of other factors.
Probably, the only reason to focus on PageRank is if you're selling links.

Happy 27th Birthday, Carrie Underwood!
by Free Britney at .One of the best young singers on the planet celebrates a birthday on this 10th day of March. No, not Miley Cyrus. No, not Justin Bieber (that was last week).
We're talking about Carrie Underwood, American Idol winner turned American country sensation and universal cutie. She's 27 today. Happy birthday, Carrie!
On top of being a terrific talent with 10 million-plus record sales to her name, the product of Checotah, Oklahoma, is smart, sexy and even down to earth.
She and Olivia Wilde make quite the March 10 birthday combo ...

Having recently made her TV debut (and contributed to our library of great How I Met Your Mother quotes), Carrie will soon appear in her first film, Soul Surfer.
We have no doubt she'll do great. In honor of her birthday, we put together a tribute of Carrie Underwood photos. Click to enlarge and send her your greetings!

Carrie is definitely an all-rounder. She has the brains, body and beauty (and of course talent). Not many artists actually hold a degree, has a rocking body and an outstanding talent, not to mention that she is downright beautiful. Mike Fisher is a lucky man.
Happy Birthday Carrie!!! May you have a blissful marriage life, a long and successful career and all the happiness in the world.

The directorial debut of Juzo Itami, this irreverent black comedy satirizes death and burial customs in a surprising manner for a Japanese film.

The Spy Who Came in from the Cold(1965)Richard Burton stars as Alec Leamas, a bitter, world-weary secret agent who is taken out of his everyday field operations after a mission goes wrong, and after a bleak spell on Civvy Street finds himself going undercover into East Germany. Subterfuge and double-crossings ensue as Leamas battles to discover the truth behind his mission. Based on the novel by John Le Carre. For more about The Spy Who Came in from the Cold and the The Spy Who Came in from the Cold Blu-ray release, see the The Spy Who Came in from the Cold Blu-ray Review published by Dr. Svet Atanasov on August 30, 2013 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.5 out of 5. Starring: Richard Burton, Claire Bloom, Oskar Werner, Sam Wanamaker, George Voskovec, Rupert Davies Director: Martin Ritt » See full cast & crew The Spy Who Came in from the Cold Blu-ray, Video QualityPresented in an aspect ratio of 1.67:1, encoded with MPEG-4 AVC and granted a 1080p transfer, Martin Ritt's The Spy Who Came in from the Cold arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of Criterion. The following text appears inside the booklet provided with this Blu-ray release: "The high-definition transfer was created on a Spirit DataCine from a 35mm composite fine-grain master positive. Thousands of instances of dirt, debris, scratches, splices, warps, jitter, and flicker were manually removed suing MTI's DRS and Pixel Farm's PFClean, while Image Systems' DVNR was used for small dirt, grain, and noise management. The original stereo soundtrack was remastered at 24-bit from a 35mm optical soundtrack print. Clicks, thumps, hiss, and hum were manually removed using Pro Tools HD. Crackle was attenuated using AudioCube's integrated workstation. Transfer supervisor: Maria Palazzola. Colorist: Gregg Garvin/Modern VideoFilm, Los Angeles." The film looks wonderful in high-definition. Image depth is consistently pleasing, even during the big noirish sequences where light is restricted. Contrast levels are stable. Blacks and whites are well balanced, while the wide range of grays always look healthy. There are no traces of problematic degraining corrections. Edge-enhancement is also not an issue of concern. Overall image stability is excellent. When blown through a digital projector, the film remains tight around the edges and looks pleasingly crisp. Also, there are no large damage marks, cuts, stains, debris, or warps to report in this review. All in all, Criterion's Blu-ray release of The Spy Who Came in from the Cold delivers a solid upgrade in quality, which should make fans of the film very happy. (Note: This is a Region-A "locked" Blu-ray release. Therefore, you must have a native Region-A or Region-Free PS3 or SA in order to access its content). The Spy Who Came in from the Cold Blu-ray, Audio QualityThere is only one standard audio track on this Blu-ray release: English LPCM 2.0. For the record, Criterion have provided optional English SDH subtitles for the main feature. The lossless track is very strong. There is an excellent range of nuanced dynamics and depth is very good. Despite the fact that there are only a few sequences where gunshots are heard, dynamic intensity if also excellent. The dialog is consistently crisp, stable, and very easy to follow. There are no pops, problematic background hiss, audio dropouts or distortions to report in this review.

The politically conscious indie rock band Exit Clov (a name derived from Samuel Beckett's Endgame) bases itself in Washington, D.C., where twin sisters Emily Hsu (vocals, keyboard, violin) and Susan Hsu (vocals, guitar, violin) formed the group alongside guitarist Aaron Leeder, bassist Brett Niederman, and drummer John Thayer. Influenced by such artists as Blondie, Blur, and Metric, the band took root in 2003 and, though inexperienced, played its first show within a month. In the following few years, Exit Clov issued a handful of EPs: Starfish (2003), Saskwatch (2004), Jolly Roget Sessions (2006), and Respond Respond (2006). ~ Kenyon Hopkin

FBI Catches Heat After Discovery That Bureau Was Warned About Boston Bombing Suspect
The FBI investigated one of the Boston bombing suspects, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, two years ago after Russia warned about his shift toward Islamic extremism, CNN reports.
Now, some members of Congress are calling for an investigation to determine how Tsarnaev managed to convince the FBI that he wasn't a threat, CNN wrote.
The Senate Intelligence Committee plans to hold a closed-door hearing with the FBI.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, was killed by police. His 19-year-old brother was charged with federal terrorism charges Monday.

INDIANAPOLIS — Advocates of extending Interstate 69 got a chance Saturday night to lobby for the highway in front of the chairman of the U.S. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
Rep. John Mica, R-Fla., joined Hoosier lawmakers including 8th District Rep. Larry Bucshon, a transportation committee member, for a hearing at the Indianapolis City-County Building.
It was one of more than a dozen such hearings taking place nationwide. The goal, Mica said, is to solicit input from state and local officials and transportation stakeholders as Congress moves toward drafting a long-term reauthorization of federal highway programs.
"This is what you've always wanted to tell Washington — what we're doing wrong and what we can do better," Mica said.
Bucshon said a bridge over the Ohio River linking the Indiana and Kentucky portions of I-69 is "clearly something that is going to be required" soon. Steve Schaefer, the vice president of public policy for the Chamber of Commerce of Southwest Indiana, said so, too.
Sam Sarvis, an Indiana Department of Transportation deputy commissioner who is in charge of the I-69 extension, said the number of federal agencies with which the state has to work on highway projects is too high.
Another Indiana lawmaker attending the meeting was 4th District Rep. Todd Rokita, who was on the steering panel that doled out committee assignments for freshman House members.
He noted that Indiana has not had a consistent presence on the transportation committee in a decade, and said the decision to send Bucshon there was deliberate.
"We have I-69 coming through. Indiana needs to have a strong member on that committee," Rokita said, adding that bringing the hearing to Indianapolis "is one of the first results of that."
Gov. Mitch Daniels did not attend, but Mica said he intends to feature Daniels "in a superstar panel in Washington" after the nationwide hearings.
