Happy Wednesday wedding lovers! I've got a cracking celebration to share with you today from Charley Smith Photography. Splitting his time between the UK and Mexico Charley gets to shoot all kinds of weddings, and we're big fans of his work here at b.loved HQ! Alé & Juanito's celebrations began the evening before the wedding with a traditional Mexican street party to music, drinking and dancing with their guests who had travelled from all over the world to celebrate with them. In our opinion anything involving tequila has to be a great ice breaker! The following day they married in a stylish ceremony in the grounds of a family property, decorated with organic & rustic details with a hint of Mexican style.
There's been so much love already for our latest Style Guide! Spring Green is a celebration of the freshness of the season, and it seems you're all loving this clean & contemporary take on the rustic look! If you missed it, you can discover the décor and styling in last week's post, while today we zoom in on the details.
Hello brides! After a gorgeously sunny weekend it finally feels like Spring is well and truly on it's way! The shops are filled with SS14 collections, and as a pastel-wearing kind of girl it's a welcome relief to see the return of fresh, pretty hues to the rails! My favourite look this season comes from Ted Baker, who has managed to successfully marry barely-there pastels with their brighter, neon counterparts. It's girly, yet grown up, pretty yet stylish. The collection is filled with bold floral patterns too – and so perfectly on trend for 2014 weddings! Here, a palette of buttery yellows, soft peach and blush is accented with pops of coral, fuchsia and a touch of aqua blue. Blousey peonies, ranunculus and garden roses contrast with wide open poppies, dahlias and chrysanthemums, filling pretty glassware on the tables. Bridesmaids showcase bright bouquets against the softest pastel dresses, and guests sip the sweetest summer punches. Wouldn't you love to plan a wedding like this?
With the highly-anticipated Brides the Show sequel just a couple of weeks away, I'm thrilled to be able to bring you another amazing offer and news direct from the Brides team!
Temperley London 'Peony'
As well as a stellar line-up of exhibitors {read my who's who of Brides the Show here} visitors will also be treated to a series of stunning live catwalk shows, curated by Brides magazine's fashion director, Bryony Toogood. For fashionista brides this is the perfect opportunity to see the latest collections from some of the best UK and international designers, including Ian Stuart, Terry Fox, Temperley London, David Fielden, Suzanne Neville and Ritva Westenius. If you're beginning your search for the perfect wedding dress then this is the ultimate place to start!
There's been a quiet revolution in weddings over the past couple of years, with tried and tested pink colour schemes being replaced with new shades and combinations. One of the most popular hues to burst onto the scene is peach, from soft pastel peach to punchy coral, this is one colour you're really loving. Stepping away from sugar-y sweet pink towards this fresher tone is lovely to see – away from chintzy vintage schemes towards an altogether more contemporary look, which needless to say I love!
And it seems I'm not alone, the team behind today's styled shoot would go as far as saying peach is the new pink! What do you think? I'll leave you with some words from photographer Alexandra Vonk and lots of pretty inspiration!
This morning we talked about engagement shoots – whether you're having one and if so if it should be 'styled' or 'au naturel'? As big fans of engagement shoots at b.loved HQ (and one of the few UK wedding blogs who regularly feature them!) we think they should be all about capturing your style, whether that means a full-on shoot production, or something a little more low-key! This afternoon we're embracing the relaxed and natural option with UK film photographer Aneta MAK {read more about Aneta here} who's work I totally, and utterly adore. With insanely stylish bride-to be Lauryn herself a photographer and all-round international lady of style, and this shoot simply speaks for itself.

It is nearly 3 pm. At 4:30 I have to leave, not learn, the house and lead a discussion section. I have been lying around reblogging funny things and weeping since lunch. (I also made a cookie cake.) Between 3 and 4:15 I will
* email Ms.S re: job stuff
* send in job app #3
* write out a plan for section
* clean my room
* drink a lot of water to make this huge headache go away
* have a snack? really?!
* email W.
When I get back this evening I will have dinner (ON MY OWN OH CHRIST), Skype with my boyfriend, do my Gender & Sexuality in Antiquity homework, and make my Take Back the Night sign. Any suggestions?

Average Interview
I applied through college or university and the process took 1+ week - interviewed at Accenture in October 2013.
Interview Details – Met them at the career fair after attending on campus event, 3 rounds of interviews.
Round 1 - 20 minute basic personality match check (interests, reason for applying etc.)
Round 2 - Detailed behavioral interview (Standard describe a situation type questions)
Round 3 - 2 behavioral interviews at Accenture office with senior executives. 45 minutes each but questions were asked only for 20-25 minutes. Rest of the time is for the "Do you have any questions" part. Seemed like they were using this to gauge interest and personality fit so it is important to have some good/smart questions here which you can use to show your aptitude/interest.
Interview Question – Nothing unusual. Basic behavioral interviews. View Answer
Negotiation Details – Offer was reasonable. I was placed in a major city and I brought up the cost of living, they hinted that no negotiation was possible and I didn't press the issue.
No Offer
Negative Experience
Very Easy Interview
I applied online and the process took 4 months - interviewed at Accenture in March 2013.
Interview Details – I applied online for an entry level Management consulting position. I have an MBA and three years of finance experience. An HR rep contacted me approximately 3 weeks later asking if I would be interested in a position in Systems Integration despite the fact that I have no technology background. I responded, "Yes of course, I can learn anything I put my mind to." True statement.
1st Interview:
A week later, I was contacted by HR for a phone screening; you go over your resume, etc. They are just trying to make sure you are who you say you are.
2nd Interview:
About 5 days later I had a 30-45 min phone interview with Senior Exec. I found that this was very scripted and really easy if you prepare. RESEARCH the person that is interviewing you! Make a personal connection, build rapport, find commonalities... they will like you and remember you. From my experience, this will be your (only) time to sell yourself and brag about your accomplishments. Review the questions on Glassdoor that are already listed. Each question I was given was on this site.
3rd Interview:
Finally, 4 months after my initial HR screening, Accenture flew me to DC and put me in a hotel. The final round started at 8:30am and there were about 15 other candidates in my group. We stared with a 1 hr. presentation with consultants (very laid back), followed by two 1hr back-to-back interviews with manager/sr. exec. To be honest, the last two interviews completely caught me off-guard; these interviews are simply a conversation, I was hardly asked anything. The first guy didn't know my background or anything about me. Compared to previous interviews, I was not impressed in the slightest. I left feeling disappointed that I wasn't "drilled" as hard as I would have liked; difficult questions give you your time to shine!
So again, do your RESEARCH. Come prepared with many (intelligent) questions to ask, know what the senior exec's do on a daily basis, even look into which specific projects they are currently working on, they will be impressed! Just simply be able to hold a meaningful conversation. LISTEN to them and be able to provide thoughtful, clever, and quick feedback. Shoot, stroke their egos… all you have to do is get them to like you! They are only testing your interpersonal and communication skills.
After the final interview I flew home the same day (Thursday), emailed my recruiter to thank her, and asked when I would hear back. I was told either Friday or Monday. So I waited, waited, sent another email on Wednesday (I had another offer pending) and then finally was contacted on Thursday with the news that Accenture would not be able to hire me due to my LACK of TECHNICAL experience. Irritating? Very much so. The fact that I took time from my current job and studies to curtail to this unorganized interview process and fly to DC for such a response, or lack there of. Thankfully I had already accepted the other position before I received Accenture's call.
So kids, there is my story, good luck! Accenture is a very good company to work for, just not for me or for my career path. Remember: research, study, and listen. If Accenture has come to you, your career/school accomplishments have already spoken for themselves; the goal now is to get them to like you!
Interview Question – Tell me about a time....

Easy Interview
I applied online and the process took 1+ week - interviewed at Accenture in April 2013.
Interview Details – First Round - Straight forward phone interview. Asked to discuss my resume.
Second Round - Behavioral interview with a manager via phone. Very long, but easy.
Third Round - Site Visit. Easy. Very informal and unorganized.
Interview Question – Do you fully understand the consulting lifestyle? Answer Question
Reason for Declining – I received an offer the same day that I interviewed. Accenture very much wanted me to start less than 2 weeks from my offer date - they even offered me a substantial bonus to do so. I found this to be very unprofessional because I couldn't give my current company two weeks notice. I also felt very pressured by this. After agreeing on a later start date, I asked for some additional time to make a decision because I had another, competitive offer. The response from Accenture was no. Their lack of flexibility and understanding in how big of a decision this was kind of the straw that broke the camel's back. I felt very pressured to say yes, and I also wonder - why is Accenture ALWAYS hiring? Lots of turnover which makes me think it's not the most enjoyable job. I said no and I am very glad that I did.

I applied through an employee referral and the process took 4 months - interviewed at Accenture in March 2013.
Interview Details – I submitted a referral from a friend way back in October, and finally heard back in later December (right before Christmas Time). That's when it all began. There were 3 rounds.
1st Round: Phone Screening (20-30mins). Basically to see if I knew what I was applying for, what the job consist of and a little bit about my background. It helps to prep on the ACN website, and review your resume for experience that would be great for SI. Found out a week later I advanced, and scheduled the 2nd round a week after that.
2nd Round: Phone Behavioral Interview (~45mins). This was probably the "hardest" part of the interview process. After a brief background check and questions like why Accenture? It was your basic "tell me about a time when.." For example. Tell me a time when you worked in a group setting, when you have conflict within the group, when something unexpected happened in the midst of a project, when you had to be creative. Definitely prep yourself. Go over your resume and other past experience and just think about different situations, how you approached/solved the problem, and how it would relate back to the position. Week later, got a call for the 3rd round. Scheduled for a month later.
3rd Round: On-Site Interviews (~3hrs). Group presentation given by current analyst followed by 2 1:1 Interviews with Managers and Seniors followed by a really chill lunch with the analyst and other interviewers. This was much more laid back than I expected. They were very accommodating and nice. Advice. come prepared just like the second interview and just be yourself. The 2nd 1:1 interviewing manager was specifically looking for personality, composure, leadership, and ability to work with others. Just know and be yourself. Heard back exactly 1 week later that I got the job. That phone call, they go over a rough synopsis of your offer, so listen carefully.
Interview Question – Tell me about a time where something went wrong, and you had to use your gut feeling to solve the problem. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – There was no negotiation. The package was very competitive, and they also took into account my master degree, unlike some other companies.

Average Interview
I applied through college or university and the process took 4 weeks - interviewed at Accenture in January 2013.
Interview Details – Applied to on-campus posting and was invited for an on-campus interview in October.
First interview: On-campus interview with a manager. Relatively easy questions such as: Why Accenture, why consulting, what does SI Analyst do, previous work experience, and extracurricular activities.
Second interview: Phone interview with a senior manager. About 4-5 behavioral/situational questions. After your answer, they will ask additional followup questions to get more details.
Final interview: On-site interview with 2 senior managers. Each interview was 45 minutes and was a mix of the first two interviews. Several casual questions such as: why Accenture. And several behavioral. All in all, this had a casual setting and the conversations were built off of your questions.
The entire process was very lengthy (3-4 months) but included Thanksgiving, and Xmas holidays.
Interview Question – Nothing too unexpected, but if you get a behavioral question that you do not have an answer to, don't be afraid to say so and ask for another. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – Didn't negotiate

Easy Interview
I applied through college or university and the process took 4 weeks - interviewed at Accenture.
Interview Details – Applied through my school's career services center (resume drop), as well as applied on Accenture's website. I was informed that I met the qualifications via e-mail and was invited to a 1st round 30 minute interview. This interview is very basic, and you'll run through your resume for a little bit. Interviewer asked what I did outside of class, e.g., part-time work, extracurriculars, hobbies, etc. Just sound interested in the position and be able to articulate why you want to be in consulting as opposed to another type of job.
I was informed about a week later that I had made it to the 2nd interview. This is the "situational behavior" interview, i.e., "Tell me about a time when...". I personally hate these interviews usually, but the one with Accenture I felt was much less formal and intimidating than with other companies. The situations were tailored to my resume so I had an answer for everything, and it was much more conversational than scripted. Just think about difficult experiences that you can talk about from your resume and be yourself. There weren't any key questions like in the final interviews, it was more along the lines of "so did you ever encounter a difficult situation?" Also ask questions at the end. The actual interview part for me lasted maybe a half hour, even though I was given 45 minutes, so have questions on hand for the end.
I was informed maybe 2-3 days later that I made it to the 3rd & Final Round Office Visit. Don't believe what you read when people say "Oh if you made it to this round, you're pretty much in!" No. It begins with about an hour long presentation from current consultants about particulars about Accenture, benefits, etc. Ask maybe 1 or 2 questions to show you're paying attention. Following that, you have two back-to-back 45 minute interviews with senior managers. These, in my opinion, were actually more formal and scripted than the 2nd interview even though others have said they were more relaxed. Have an example about when you took a leadership role in a project. Have an example about when someone wasn't working well on your team, and what you did. Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming. I thought the interviews went great, so I was surprised to receive a rejection email about a week later. I can't tell you what I did wrong since they don't provide feedback. It seems like a great company to work for though!
There were no case questions. All behavioral/basic.

I applied through college or university and the process took 2 weeks - interviewed at Accenture in December 2011.
Interview Details – I interviewed during my Senior Year in College to enter Accenture as a Consulting Analyst. The interview process 3 steps, the first interview is a short, 30 screening interview to discuss your resume, skills, background, the second interview is the normal 1 hour behavioral interview. If you make it past the second interview, the likely hood you get the job is pretty good. The last interview, a confirming interview, was in office with a senior manager/executive. The last interview is a combination of behavioral and screening. They're just trying to figure out who you are.
Interview Question – How did you feel when you encountered a difficult situation? Answer Question

Very Difficult Interview
I applied online and the process took 3 weeks - interviewed at Accenture in August 2011.
Interview Details – My resume sat online for 4-5 months before I was contacted, and by that point I had nearly forgotten about applying - but from what I gathered they tend to hire in large groups. Once I was contacted, I had a quick "resume walkthrough" phone interview and then a 90 minute situational interview within a week. The next week I flew to an office for a presentation and a couple of in-person interviews. The offer came a few days later.
Interview Question – The questions themselves were straightforward - "tell me about a time when you" kind of questions, but the difficulty was in all the follow up questions. I think I was asked 5 or 6 follow up questions about some relatively simple situations. It seemed like the interviewer was pushing me for unnecessary details just to see how I reacted under pressure.

Negotiation Details – Not able to negotiate.

Feb 1 2012 by Alan Weston, Heswall News
A MERSEYSIDE MP met Facebook staff about "trolling" after offensive messages were left on a tribute site to a Wirral teenager who died falling under a train.
Liverpool Walton MP Steve Rotheram is trying to get new laws through parliament to stop those who post abusive messages on websites.
Last year there was a furious reaction to messages left on a tribute page to train tragedy victim Georgia Varley.
The 16-year-old Birkenhead sixth form student was killed on October 22 last year at James Street railway station when she slipped from a platform and fell beneath a Wirral line train as she tried to board a train her friends were travelling on.
Within days of her death a Facebook page set up by friends in her memory was attacked by trolls, posting offensive content from locations abroad and under pseudonyms.
As friends tried to keep control of the page, Mr Rotheram took action by bringing up the subject in Parliament.
Yesterday Mr Rotheram met representatives from Facebook to see how they tackle the issue.
He said afterwards: "It comes down to the balance they have to strike between free speech and censorship, and it appears to me they err on the side of free speech.
"The meeting was part of a fact finding mission to look at where the gaps are which allows certain individuals to post these disgusting, mindless messages. I know it is going to be complicated but that will not stop me trying to bring pressure to bear on social networking sites such as Facebook to stop this kind of thing and alleviate the distress that Georgia Varley's family had to go through."
Mr Rotherham also plans to meet representatives from Twitter.
A spokesperson for Facebook said it was against the site's rules "to intimidate or harass others" and the site would "react swiftly" to disable accounts found in breach of their terms.
She said: "We strongly encourage people using Facebook to use our tools whenever needed and to report objectionable content so we can investigate reports and take action."

Definition of apomixis in English:
Syllabification: ap·o·mix·isPronunciation: /ˌapəˈmiksis
Botany- Asexual reproduction in plants, in particular agamospermy. Often contrasted with amphimixis.More example sentences
- Another example is the major impact that understanding apomixis would have on plant breeding.
- During in vivo development, maternal apomixis refers to the asexual formation of a seed from the maternal tissues of the ovule, avoiding the processes of meiosis and fertilization.
- It is noteworthy that according to the studies of Illg, M. brasiliensis may be apomictic, although pollinator-dependent; i.e. apomixis is triggered by pollen-tube development.
- More example sentences
- Maternal apomictic embryos develop from a somatic cell within the ovule or from an unreduced embryo sac derived from the megaspore mother cell (diplospory).
- The results show that early fertilization leads to the formation of apomictic embryos while fertilization at anthesis favours the formation of sexually derived embryos.
- Furthermore, apomictic reproduction has been found in most polyploid Corollinae species, which, if transferred to cultivated beet, has the potential to improve the fixation of desired genotypes in breeding programmes.
Pronunciation: /-ˈmiktik/
early 20th century: from apo- + Greek mixis 'mingling'.

Woo! I wonder if it will run flawless on an OC droid
Woo! I wonder if it will run flawless on an OC droid
Psx is very very old system from 1996. You dont have to oc your droid for a emulation of it.for n64 it would make sense cause n64 has 64 bit and 66mhz. But psx just has 33mhz and 32 bit. The 3430 haves much power per mhz. The cortex a8 nearly doubles the speed of an arm11 for example. The 550 mhz droid with cortex a8 is as fast as a n97 nokia would be with a 1ghz arm11.
I just got hard reading this thread.
Yay! Spyro on the droid anyone??!
thats awesome i cant wait to play metal gear solid on my droid
The release date for the Playstation emulator will be before June if he had to say. So defiantly not too far away.
nice to hear . later ill have a chat with zod. he will tell me his progress. well two psx emus also would be fun .
Curses, all the way to June? Oh well, I will certainly enjoy it once it gets here

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show: We now see what can happen when we have a group of conservatives that have stood on principle including Senator Ted Cruz, Senator Mike Lee and others who have been battling the establishment. Right now we need to see if the Republicans will jump on board with the Tea Party and battle against Obamacare and the upcoming battle on the Continuing Resolution. We're not going to win the House or Senate in 2014 if we continue listening to those that have led us down this path. Tom Delay calls in about the recent reversal and acquittal of him on his legal case, despite years of political maneuvering and demonizing of him from his opponents. Mark also asks the audience what the purpose of a political Party is, when that Party doesn't continue to represent the interests of it's people? Finally, Mark goes thru a history of when the government has shut down in the past and the country survived.

< Return To Hearing
Mr. David JohnsonJuly 23, 2002 Mr. Chairman, Members of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary. My name is David Johnson and I am currently the Deputy Chief of Police in Cedar Rapids Iowa. I've been a police officer for over 30 years, and my career as a cop started right here with the Washington Metropolitan Police Department as a patrolman in the 7th District. In 1974, just as you Mr. Chairman were coming from Vermont to the Senate, I was headed West, to the home state of Senator Grassley where I took a job as a police officer for the Cedar Rapids, Iowa Police Department. After 28 years, I'm still on the job in Cedar Rapids, serving as the Deputy Chief of Police. I have a bachelors degree in Criminal Justice and I am a graduate of the FBI's National Academy, 156th session. I am a past President of the Iowa Association of Chiefs of Police and Peace Officers and I am also a Life Member of the Law Enforcement Alliance of America. The Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act of 2002 is an idea first introduced to Congress ten years ago. Congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham of California, working with retired officer and Law Enforcement Alliance of America Executive Director, James J. Fotis, drafted the original legislation that sought to allow qualified active and retired law enforcement officers the ability to carry the firearms across state lines without facing prosecution. In 1992, H.R. 4897, the first version of this legislation, was born with a bi-partisan introduction by Congressman Cunningham and Congressman Ralph Hall of Texas. In the decade since then, the support for this legislation has grown dramatically. Today it is still a bipartisan effort, with strong support from both sides of the isle in both Chambers and in this very Committee where a bi-partisan majority of ten Senators have signed on as co-sponsors. Over 100 state and local police organizations have joined in support of the bill. S. 2480 has the support of national police groups like the Fraternal Order of Police, the National Troopers Coalition, the National Sheriff's Association, the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association, The International Brotherhood of Police Officers, the National Association of Police Organizations and the Law Enforcement Alliance of America. There is good reason these organizations have been joined by 28 Senators and 267 Representatives in supporting this legislation - it saveslives, it protects our communities and it doesn't cost a dime. You'll hear some concerns about what might happen if this legislation becomes law. Some folks might suggest on-duty police will end up shooting it out with off-duty police. Some people may claim that lawsuits and liability will bankrupt police departments. All I ask is that you listen to these concerns, and then take a look at what is happening right now in the various states. Mr. Chairman, in your home state of Vermont, no one needs a permit to carry a concealed handgun. Off duty and retired police officers as well as the general public are presently allowed to carry concealed firearms. Is Vermont full of police officers shooting other police officers? Are lawsuits from off duty shootings bankrupting police agencies? Absolutely not. In many other states, off duty officers, with their police ID, can carry their firearm concealed statewide, not just in the city or county where they work. In Senator Feinstein's California, an off duty officer from the little town of Lodi can carry in the big city of Los Angeles and vice versa. Retired officers who meet provisions similar to those in S. 2480 can also carry though out the state. California, like other similar states does not suffer from a deluge of off duty shooting lawsuits or on or off duty police officers shooting each other. The ideas behind S. 2480 are working safely and responsibly today in California and elsewhere, we want that same success to be applied through a uniform standard, everywhere. Mr. Chairman, Members of the Committee, I'd like to share with you a few examples of just how vital this legislation is to the safety of police officers and our communities. Police officers, like doctors, fire-fighters or other emergency personnel are never really off-duty. In some states, it is the law. These public servants perform countless acts of courage and face many moments of danger well after they have finished their shift and some, even after they have ended their tour of duty. Consider the story of Officer Wendell Smith Jr., a veteran of the Washington Metropolitan Police Department. Officer Smith worked here in the District of Columbia, but he lived in the State of Maryland. When returning home after his shift in February of 1997, Officer Smith was robbed at gunpoint. Just hours before, this officer with his gun at his side, might have had a fighting chance. But without legislation like S. 2480 in place, Officer Smith was barred from carrying his firearm, and had to secure it out of reach. When the robbers discovered his badge and realized they were attacking a police officer, they executed him in cold blood. Officer Smith was killed because he was forced to be unarmed. On the day of this officer's murder, the legislation that could have saved his life had been sitting idle in Congress for five years. Now, ten years after its introduction, it is still not law. America's men and women in blue can't always avoid trouble just because they are off duty. And being off duty doesn't mean they can't make a difference. Let me share with you an example of some of the great things that have happened when an off duty officer has the tools available to respond as they are trained. In March of 2001, a student opened fire at his high school in San Diego, California. However, the shooter wasn't the only person with a gun. Off duty San Diego Police Officer Robert Clark was also on campus, running an errand. When he heard the shots, he took immediate action, drew his concealed firearm and ran to the scene of the crime. He confronted the shooter in a school bathroom and held him at gun point, preventing the shooter from entering the hallway and continuing the massacre. When on duty officers arrived for back-up, Officer Clark worked with two deputies - - deputies from a different law enforcement agency than his own I might add - - to disarm the shooter and take him into custody. Once the scene was secured, Officer Clark then administered first aid to two shooting victims found in the bathroom. For his bravery Officer Robert Clark was given his department's highest honor. Off duty officers like Robert Clark make the headlines time after time when they are able to use their firearm to save lives, while out of uniform and off duty. Even the International Association of Chiefs of Police knows the role armed off duty officers play. In 2000, they named Officer Dennis Devitte of the Las Vegas Police Department as their "Officer of the Year." IACP along with Parade Magazine honored him for his daring shootout with three armed robbers. Officer Devitte drew his "off duty" gun and charged masked gunmen who had opened fire in the crowded bar. His bravery saved the lives of every innocent person in the room, as he killed one robber and sent the other two fleeing. Officer Devitte was shot 8 times, but the same spirit of courage that called him into action helped him survive, even after losing six units of blood and requiring his knee to be completely rebuilt. In just 6 months, this brave officer was back on the job. The acts of courage aren't limited to off duty officers -- retired officers save lives too. In New Jersey a retired officer witnessed the shooting of a police officer in a traffic stop. Because no law existed that would allow this retired officer to be armed, he had no other option but to run to the fallen officer's side, call for help, grab the fallen officer's firearm and handcuffs and take off in pursuit of the would-be cop killer. This retired officer was not just brave, he also had the skills honed from a career on the streets. He succeeded in capturing and handcuffing the attacker. There isn't enough time left in this hearing or even this session of Congress to share with you every heroic story of off duty or retired officers intervening to save lives. You've heard some from me and certainly you've heard stories from your constituents about how this legislation can and will save lives. Since September 11th, our entire nation has been forced to rethink our vigilance for the safety of our borders, our communities, our families and ourselves. We do not know if, when or how terror will strike again. What we do know is that in any given time of day, roughly 70% of our nation's police officers are off duty. S. 2480 can empower those off duty officers, plus the countless trained and qualified retired law enforcement officers with the tools they need to make a difference. This is homeland security that doesn't require us to trample on civil liberties, homeland security that can be done without playing musical chairs with federal public safety personnel, and homeland security that won't bust the budget. That's one of the reason why this bill is so widely supported, by Democrats, Republicans and Independents. Mr. Chairman, Members of the Committee, I thank you for giving this legislation a hearing and allowing me to testify today. On behalf of myself, fellow members of the Law Enforcement Alliance of America and police officers everywhere, I would ask your help in seeing to it that S. 2480 becomes law this year. |

Escaping vs Encoding.
2006-07-31 12:55:50 rdeforest [View]
I agree with BasSchulte - Escaping is a kind of Encoding. Both are ways of translating between one symbol system and another. Escaping is a the subset of encodinng where the contents are enveloped within the target coding. It is irrelevant that escaping uses prefixes to tag metacharachters. The problem (over-encoding) can still exist in other contexts.
I like the idea of adding a 'canary' to detect over-coding, but I would prefer to use something more robust, like a CRC and I don't like the idea of using it to determine when to stop decoding.
In the multiple redirect situation described in the article, I would prefer to fix the root problem: the redirects should not have been re-escaping the original data. This canary solution just hides the problem.

BRADENTON, Fla. — David Ortiz said Monday in Fort Myers that he while he understands his value to the Red Sox offense, he won't risk further injury by coming back too soon.
Ortiz tried that last season and suffered a setback he's still paying for.
"That's the thing we pretty much are trying to avoid, coming back and not being able to stay in the lineup the way everybody expects me to be," he said. "I'm going to push it depending on how I feel. I'm going to try to be smart about it. When I go back in, I want to be in. Setbacks are very frustrating."
Ortiz strained his right Achilles' tendon last July 16. He came off the disabled list and played against the Royals Aug. 24, collecting two hits and driving in two runs. But he aggravated the injury and did not play again last season.
"I was OK to play, but it wasn't like I was normal," Ortiz said. "Some percentage I was feeling good. But the result was I wasn't good to go.
"I wanted to play. You know how our mind is. I don't need to tell myself I feel 100 percent every day to play. Seeing the team waiting for me and me feeling all right about playing compared to what I was feeling before, it was like, take my chances."
Ortiz was limited to batting practice at the start of spring training. When he started running the bases, that led to inflammation in both heels, particularly the right. The Red Sox shut him down March 10 and Ortiz since has been limited to off-field workouts.
Manager John Farrell said over the weekend that Ortiz might take batting practice on Monday. But he did not.
Ortiz has been jogging on an underwater treadmill and doing "all kinds of stuff" with team trainers and therapists. There is no date for when he will return to the field.
Ortiz, whose shorts and T-shirt were soaked after a pool workout, put his foot on a chair and showed reporters that the inflammation is between his Achilles' tendon and a bone in his heel. The majority of the pain is on the side of his heel.
"[The left heel] was just compensating for other side," he said. "Once I stopped doing things, it started feeling better right away. But the other one, on the other hand, it's getting there. It's just a matter of time."
Ortiz said his Achilles' feels fine and the pain he once felt is no longer there. He joked that it feels like it's a new tendon.
"It's dark, pretty nice," he said.
Now there is pain related to the original injury and all his time off.
"Inflammation causes you pain. We're just waiting for that inflammation to walk away," Ortiz said. "The setback is pretty much what frustrates me the most. You think you're doing the right thing to get better and next thing you know it's like walking backwards. That's the part of this game right here that I don't like. I hate playing it."
As his teammates prepare for the season opener on April 1 in New York, Ortiz waits.
"Even the offseason was really strange. I wasn't able to do anything because you've got to get the therapy five days a week," he said. "That's a big part of my frustration. You bust your tail this offseason just to make sure you're good to go. It's really frustrating."
But Ortiz believes he is going in the right direction.
"It seems like it," he said. "This is something that in time, and I would say doing the right thing, it'll be fine."
Ortiz said the season is not defined by Opening Day. His hope is to be fully healthy by the middle of April or early May.
"We're going to be there. But we're going to be there at the right time, hopefully," he said.
Ortiz was asked if he thinks rookie outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. should take his place on the roster.
"I heard he's a really good player,'' he said. "I haven't been able to really watch him because they keep me indoors just doing a whole bunch of things. By the time I finish, the game is over. I talk to him once in a while. I heard he's got skills. You never know. When you got it, you got it."
Bradley is 22. Ortiz was asked what he was doing at that age.
"I was hitting bombs in the big leagues," he said.
Will he do that at the age of 37?
On right track
Jarrod Saltalamacchia is dying to show off his prowess from the right side.
The catcher is a natural righthanded hitter and he says he has more power and is an overall better hitter from that side of the plate, but his numbers tell a different story. Last season, Saltalamacchia hit .170 in 53 righthanded at-bats. So his emphasis this offseason and in camp is to improve the right side or at least unleash his "natural" side.
Problem is, the Red Sox went out and obtained catcher David Ross, who likely will get most of the starts against lefthanded pitching. That likely will leave Saltalamacchia still searching for an opportunity to show off his righthanded ability.Continued...

Data collected by the Montana Department of Transportation using the 360SmartView truck safety screening system show significant results from focusing limited enforcement resources on trucks that are out of compliance with safety and credential requirements.
Results, based on data from the 360SmartView system during the first year of operation at Montana's westbound Billings inspection facility, include:
As deployed in Montana, 360SmartView uses in-station cameras to electronically screen all trucks entering the inspection facility. The system presents roadside enforcement officials with a compliance snapshot based on cloud-based information from the U.S. Department of Transportation and as many as 90 other government data sources
"360SmartView has produced safety and efficiency benefits for both enforcement agencies and compliant carriers as it has assisted state officials to focus on trucks with known deficiencies" said Karen Rasmussen, president and CEO of HELP Inc., the public-private partnership that provides 360SmartView, PrePass and other safety services.

While it's a stereotype to suggest LA citizens are all actors with tons of free time on their hands, bars in Los Angeles make it easy to get a drink at practically any time of day, and vary from barebones drinking dens to some of the most exclusive watering holes in the country.
Whether it's high-powered producers at sceney Beverly Hills and Sunset Strip bars with reservation-only policies (and the steep price tags that come with them) to gritty dives blocks down from glitzy spots in Hollywood, there are Los Angeles bars for every taste.
Nightlife options stretch from the ocean to Downtown, and the streets are jam-packed with cocktail dens, hidden speakeasies, Irish joints, and lazy beach bars. Silver Lake, Echo Park, and Los Feliz have exploded onto the mixology and craft beer scene in recent years, while the ongoing revival of Downtown has attracted exclusive new rooftop bars, sophisticated wine bars, beer gardens, and a host of cool underground cocktail joints.
Meanwhile, beach bums, yuppies, and trust-funders congregate down by the water in Santa Monica, Venice, and Malibu, where a laid-back, anything-goes attitude prevails and the bars that go with them makes every day feel like a weekend.
It would take a lifetime to explore all the bars in LA, but luckily Party Earth makes it easy to find the LA bar that's best for you.

Video-on-demand service from pay-TV operators is falling short of its potential in terms of viewer numbers and ad revenue, according to a new report from The Diffusion Group (TDG).
The report, "Making Ad-Supported VOD Work," identifies inadequate ad support and awkward program guides as the main culprits. Both factors contribute to limiting the availability and viewing of ad-supported video-on-demand content.
Due to the inattentiveness of pay-TV operators to ad-supported VOD, total VOD use represents only 1 percent of all U.S. TV viewing. Operators have failed to take advantage of VOD to build subscriber satisfaction, generate ad revenues, and head off competition from over-the-top (OTT) providers like Netflix," said Bill Niemeyer, TDG senior analyst and author of the report.
Comparing Netflix to pay-TV VOD in the United States during the fourth quarter of last year, Niemeyer estimates U.S. Netflix subscribers watched 80 percent more streaming video hours than viewed pay-TV VOD.
"Ad-supported VOD is a significant missed opportunity for pay-TV operators," says Niemeyer. "They are investing significant resources in TV Everywhere (TVE) but have ignored the fact they have a potentially viable ad- and revenue-generating on-demand platform already in place in over 50 million U.S. homes in the form of VOD," he said.
The report notes failing to act will place pay-TV operators at risk of falling even farther behind online and OTT video services.

Meyers Travel Tips
Make Meyers Lodging Your Fishing Retreat
Lake Tahoe has some of the best trout and salmon fishing to be had in the United States. Lake fishing in pristine waters or fly fishing in nearby streams will make your angling dreams come true. Planning your fishing getaway begins with choosing a great home base, so be sure to check out Meyers lodging first when looking for a place to stay. [http://www.vrbo.com/vacation-rentals/usa/california/lake-tahoe-ca Lake Tahoe vacation rentals]] let you wake up to great mountain views with easy access to all of the best fishing in Lake Tahoe. Meyers cabins or rental homes can accommodate your after-fishing needs, providing full kitchens with refrigerator and freezer. Cooking fresh-caught fish in your own kitchen is a mouth watering option that can't be found at a hotel or inn.
Getting Ready to Fish at Lake Tahoe
A fishing license is required to fish in Lake Tahoe as well as the surrounding streams and the Truckee River. You can fish with a California or Nevada license, which may be obtained at most local sporting goods stores. Fishing is year round except for streams draining into the lake. Spawning fish make stream fishing off limits from October through June. During these months anglers must stay 300 feet from the mouth of these streams. Daily fishing begins one hour before sunrise and must end one hour after sunset. There is a daily limit of 5 trout. Search the Internet or check local fishing shops for advice on the best fishing spots close to Meyers lodging.
Making the Most of Your Fishing Vacation
Many fine charters and guides are available to make your trip a success. Boat and equipment rentals are readily available, but plan ahead and reserve the equipment you need. Meyers cabins are close to the fishing and to local outfitters, making it the perfect place to stage your daily fishing excursions.

A Particle Magnetophone brings a totally new concept of a touch-less, audio-visual application that literally make music in the air and visual effects at the same time. The audio control approach of generating sound can be compared to the theremin.
The application uses a combination of the magnetic sensor, great graphic possibilities, and marvelous sound which are offered by iPad/iPhone and iOS. The magnetic sensor is placed just around the biohazard sign on the app's view, so closer you get with a magnetic stuff the higher tones are generating. By included keyboard you can determinate in which musical scale will magnetic fields play sounds.
The sounds are very suitable for music like funky, dub step, electro, trip hop, noise, and many more.
So just grab some magnetic, metaled stuff or get closer to them by upper-right corner of your device and try out.
NOTE: iPod devices do not have possibility to detect magnetic fields so you cannot use them as the musical instrument (only basic tone is generating).

Fieseler Fi103-A1 Hoellenhund V-1 |
Serial Number: 121536
Markings: Luftwaffe Flak-Regiment 155(W), France, 1944
As the worlds first operational cruise missile the Fi103 was the first of the so-called Wonder Weapons that German leaders felt would snatch victory from defeat. The concept of a self-guided flying bomb powered by a pulsejet engine originated in 1942 and quickly captured the attention of the German Luftwaffe, which was suffering high losses in bombers and crews. The Fi103 first flew in December 1942, but problems in both production and operation of the new weapon delayed its first operational use until June 12th 1944 when the first V-1s were fired at London. Eventually, more than 5,800 of the missiles would land in England killing over 8,000 people. |

Start at Beigongmen subway station--the last stop on Line 4. It's about a 10-minute walk from the subway to the east gate of the Summer Palace.

Turn right again at... More
The Summer Palace was the retreat of emperors for centuries and now is one of Beijing's principal attractions, so try not to get lost among the tour groups!
Immediately ahead of you as you enter by the east gate is the Hall of Benevolence and Longevity. The front is glassed off, so you'll have to peer inside to see the hardwood throne it houses. ... More
Follow your nose up Longevity Hill (so named to wish the emperor well) and you'll be rewarded with a gorgeous view of Kunming Lake and the 17-Arch Bridge from outside the Buddhist Tenant's Hall.

Come out of the main entrance to the Buddhist Fragrance Pavilion and Cloud Dispelling Hall and turn right, heading west along the north shore of the lake.

Kunming Lake dominates the Summer Palace. It was enlarged, embellished and modelled on Hangzhou's famous West Lake in the 18th century by Emperor Qianlong using 100,000 labourers. It takes up over three quarters of the park.

The Dragon King Temple is where Cixi went to pray for rain in times of drought. It's also where emperors reviewed the navy's practice exercises on the lake.

Go back the way you came to the subway--left out of the Summer Palace, left at the first corner along Yiheyuan Road then left again when you get to the main road. It shouldn't take you more than 15 minutes. When you get to the subway, you'll need the platform on the left heading to Tian'gongyuan to head back into Beijing.
