SHANGHAI, July 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- SmartMad, Madhouse's most intelligent mobile web and in-app ad network is pleased to announce the launch of China's first weather-based mobile ad service today.
Weather-based mobile ad offers a new targeting feature that allows advertisers to serve their mobile ads only to the users who are living in the place where certain weather conditions are met or to serve different creatives based on different weather. As a result, the advertisements can be more relevant and unique to targeted audience and the conversion rate will also be increased drastically.
SmartMad has joined hands with widely-used weather forecast platforms to collect accurate information that includes temperature, humidity, wind speed and PM2.5 etc. Advertisers can use these information and data to provide different creative materials and present tailor-made communication messages for their potential clients. Weather-based mobile ad provides diversified opportunities and more possibilities for advertisers to run precise campaigns.
SmartMad has made a pilot weather-based mobile ad campaign with a prestigious hair care brand. User-friendly hair care tips were delivered to the brand's target audience based on different weather conditions such as high temperature, low humidity, high ultraviolet intensity or even the air pollution index PM2.5.
The pilot weather-based mobile ad campaign achieved click through rate of 1.2% which is higher than the industry benchmark of 0.8% to 1% in the same product category

I believe that my 20's will be a very busy part of my life. I will be 22 when I graduate and hope to attend medical school afterwards. That will take another 4 years of my life and I'll be 26 at that point in time. After medical school is residency which takes at least another 7 years. So I will spend all of twenties learning to pursue a career in medicine and instead working like most do after they graduate. The hardest part of my 20's will be during residency. The average resident works about 80 to 100 hours and working 48 hour shifts is not uncommon. I don't really know what the world will be like but it will be interesting to actually vote in the next presidential elections since I've never voted in my life. It will be interesting to see the long term effects of Japan's nuclear crisis years from now such as, the state of the economy, what they will use for power, and tourism in the country.
Current Event -
The nuclear crisis in Japan is rapidly increasing. I feel that this is important because if a nuclear disaster does occur, the Japanese economy will suffer greatly from it. Tourism is a large source of revenue for the Japanese economy and the danger posed by radiation would most definitely decrease the amount of tourists that visit Japan each year. Also many products that are imported to the United States are manufactured by Japanese corporations such as, Honda, Toyota, Sony, Nintendo, Toshiba, and Parasonic. Consequently, the nuclear crisis could also affect the US economy as well. The danger of radiation is also present in the ocean. Asian cuisine is known for its wide variety of seafood. Radiation poses a threat to this food supply. Furthermore, Japan relies heavily on nuclear power to provide energy for the entire country. The complete loss of these nuclear power plants will cause the Japanese to invest more money and resources in establishing alternate energy sources.
A technology tip is skipping commercials for online videos. This only works for certain websites but all you have to do is refresh the page and you can skip the advertisement. This is handy when you are watching numerous videos back to back and you're tired of watching the same 30 second commercials over and over again.
Spring break is so important to college students because it gives us the chance to just relax and get away from the sometimes hectic college life. Tests, homework, and lab reports always seem to be around the corner no matter how many I've just completed. For me, spring break removed the stress of college life for one week. Essentially, I spent the majority of the break relaxing just as the picture implies. However, since I have two tests and a lab report due this week, I had to spend the last portion of my spring break studying and preparing for the upcoming week. The history of spring break dates back to post World War II when the Colgate university swim team went to Fort Lauderdale, Florida to practice. Afterwards, college students began coming to Florida for a break from the cold whether up North. The movie Where the Boys Are made the vacation spot even more popular. Eventually spring break became a national phenomena and virtually all colleges and schools began having it. Since then, many popular spring break areas have risen such as Daytona and Panama City, Florida. It is also common for college students to travel out of the United States for spring break. Cancoon, Mexico is a popular area for students.
Virtual learning is a controversy being debated by many educators today. Some feel thatonline courses aren't hands on enough and that students will be robbed of a proper education. Others believe that online classes are even more beneficial than attending an actual lecture. This article predicts that over over half of all college students in America will being some, if not all, online classes. I personally feel that this prediction is very exaggerated. Many students I know avoid taking online classes because they feel that they either learn more in person or that they will not thoroughly follow the course material if it is online. However, I feel that this article holds some truth. I do believe that interest is growing at a fast rate and is definitely increasing in popularity due to its convenience. Eventually online classes may very well overtake the lecture hall.
This is a picture of me with my brother on the left. It accurately represents me because I am very family oriented.

German-born 'moneymaker' a world apart
Thyra Zerhusen was browsing the magazine rack at a cafe in San Francisco this year when she picked up a German-language magazine. The cover profiled the world's most influential Germans, naming politicians, athletes and celebrities -- even the pope. Only mildly interested after examining the cover, Zerhusen replaced the magazine on the shelf. At more than $9, "I don't need it," she thought.

Danville teen pleads guilty to rape, sentenced to six years in prison

There is ABSOLUTELY no justification for rape, but does anyone but me wonder about a drunk 14 year old? While she certainly did not "ask" to be raped, I don't see any indication that she was forced to drink, and place herself in this situation.
on Dec 21, 2011 at 7:37 am
Truly sad. I hope the boy gets the help he needs, as does the girl for this traumatic ordeal. I did wonder, as well with the previous comment, about the 14-year-old being drunk.
on Dec 21, 2011 at 8:28 am
Rather than wonder about a drunk 14 year old girl, I am shocked that a serial sex offender of underage girls ONLY received six years!

Too many Americans did not pay attention to my ongoing disclosures about why Obama should not have been elected President of the United States during the 2008 campaign. However, because he was black and had a gift of gab, many fell for his oratorial -- but deceptive -- promises, and he became President.
Early in 2008, The Holy Spirit showed me Obama's ultimate agenda for America and him and his pals. With the 2012 election campaign, I am releasing my compilation of those 2012 warnings about Obama and reprinting them in context of the times. The commentaries reveal my impressions during the unfolding of those events involving Obama and the nation and the world. Notice the dates, because that is how you, the reader(s), will best understand how it is I have maintained that Obama is a black Traitor and he should have long been impeached. Read it for yourself and see.

Submit Manuscripts
Editorial Calendar
The CPA Journal is broadly recognized as an outstanding, technical-refereed publication for accounting practitioners, educators, and other financial professionals. It is edited by CPAs for CPAs. Our goal is to provide accounting and other financial professionals with the information and analysis they need to enable them to be successful in today's business environment.
The format of The CPA Journal accommodates three types of submissions:
The CPA Journal will review a manuscript for possible publication if the editors believe the content will provide our readers with practical information and thoughtful analysis on a relevant topic. The Journal's online archives provide extensive examples of previously published material. Authors interested in submitting a manuscript for review should contact email@example.com. The steps in the submission and review processes are detailed below.
Submission Procedures
Review Process
The Journal editors make the initial determination of the suitability of the manuscript for the Journal's readers. The editors make the final decision regarding acceptance, rejection, or revision based on independent, double-blind reviews by a minimum of two subject-matter experts. Manuscripts are evaluated on the basis of its technical accuracy, relevance, timeliness, readability, practicality, and comprehensiveness. The typical review, from receipt of the manuscript to final decision takes six to eight weeks, although this timeframe may vary considerably.
If a manuscript is accepted, it will be placed in the Journal's article inventory and scheduled for publication at the next available opportunity, taking into consideration the manuscript's timeliness, subject matter, and existing articles in inventory.
At the time a manuscript is accepted, the editors send the author an agreement that specifies the terms of publication, including a grant of copyright to the NYSSCPA for both print and Internet publication, as well as derivative works, which may include CPE and educational purposes.
The editors of The CPA Journal schedule articles for publication approximately three months before the issue appears (e.g., the contents for the January issue are determined in the first week of October.) After an article has been scheduled for publication, the editors may contact the author to see if it needs to be updated for events that may have occurred since the manuscript was accepted. After an article has been edited for style and length, the editors will e-mail a PDF of a preliminary page proof to the author for their review and approval approximately one month before publication.
If the editors request a revision of a manuscript, the revised manuscript may be re-reviewed by the original reviewers. Multiple revisions are sometimes requested. Requesting a revision is not a guarantee of ultimate acceptance.
If an article is rejected, the editors generally provide the author with feedback regarding the reason for rejection. These comments should not be construed as the basis for a revision and resubmission to the Journal.
Manuscript Style
Authors should address a readership of accounting and financial professionals with a basic understanding of the topic. Because the Journal's readership consists of members in both public and private practice, with diverse backgrounds and specialties, manuscripts should not presume a certain background or mindset. A brief summary of 100 to 125 words is helpful for technical articles of more than 2,000 words.
CPA Journal accepts manuscripts for review in the following
Journal follows The New York Public Library Writer's
Guide to Style and Usage. Please refer to this style manual
(which is broadly similar to the Chicago
Manual of Style) before submitting a manuscript. The
Journal's preferred writing style has the following
Please visit the archives by clicking here, and read published articles for examples of articles that reflect The Journal's style.
should contain citations and references wherever appropriate;
parenthetical notes, rather than footnotes, should be used.
Direct quotes taken directly from another source should be
clearly labeled as such and should include an appropriate reference;
any language that is paraphrased from another source should
also include an appropriate reference. Care should be taken
to ensure that any terms, effective dates, and figures taken
from official pronouncements are exact and in conformity with
the original source. Manuscripts reporting research should
focus on the results
rather than methodology. The Journal will consider
articles that provide a practical application for research
CPA Journal maintains a zero-tolerance policy concerning
plagiarism. Published articles that the editors determine
to include plagiarized content will be removed from the
online archives and readers will be notified of the action
in a subsequent issue of the Journal.
manuscripts received from an author determined to have at
any time submitted plagiarized material will not be considered
for future publication in The CPA Journal.

UNH grad explains why she gave $20 million to her alma mater
It was Carsey's second major gift to UNH, and is in addition to donations she has made to the University of California-Irvine, where her children attended college. In 2002, she gave $7.5 million to establish the Carsey Institute at UNH. The Institute, in part, conducts national and regional policy research on vulnerable children, youth and families and on sustainable community development.
The gifts to the schools came after a career spent producing prime-time hits including "The Cosby Show," "Roseanne" and "That 70s Show." "My definition of a hit is something where people watch it and say 'Whoa!'" the Emmy award winner said. "You want it to be worthy of your air time."
"Frannie's Turn," a situation comedy about a homemaker frustrated with her life, was on the air only about a month before being cancelled.
Carsey said she knew she wanted a career in television, even while growing up as the daughter of a steel worker in Weymouth, Mass.
Carsey's first job in the entertainment industry was as a tour guide at NBC studios in the famed 30 Rockefeller Plaza building. She went from being a tour guide to getting "the lowest job you can possibly get," working on the set of "The Tonight Show."
Then she got her first break, when she was hired in the early 1970s to work at the "struggling" ABC in a "low-level job."

By Deena CentofantiFox 2 News Health ReporterSOUTHFIELD, Mich. (WJBK) -- Oakland Derby Diamonds teammates Erin Hook and Lisa McConnaughey have a bond so special they call themselves "derby wives", and never have they needed each other more.In recent years, Hook's weight reached 230 pounds. Her health was suffering."In my thirties, I was on medication for high blood pressure," she said.In her twenties, McConnaughey hated the person she saw in the mirror."I would say my weight fluctuated a lot, but when I got pregnant with my son, I got up to 230 pounds and I just never really took the time to lose it," she explained.But as the women started to gain confidence on skates and a love of roller derby, they saw their bodies changing and felt empowered."It's incredible exercise because you have to do core work. There (are) sit-ups and all kinds of stuff. It's not just skating, so it's a full body work out," Hook said.At the same time, this Derby Diamond duo started to focus on food. They started counting every calorie.Using smart phone apps that do the math for you, the ladies realized how much they were unknowingly eating."It makes you accountable. It's like if you're thinking about eating something, when you plug that in there and see how many calories that it is, you don't want it anymore. If it's a lot of calories, it's like wow, that's a whole dinner and it's just a snack," said Hook.They cut way back on portions and wiped out a few bad habits all together."That's my biggest tip to anyone is their first step to losing is to stop drinking any kind of pop. That will make a huge difference. You'll lose immediately," McConnaughey said. "You need somebody to keep you on track," Beaumont Doctor Samuel Fawaz told us.He said a good friend and a simple app is a great combination."It calculates for you the amount of calories you should stay below in order to achieve that weight loss."Now more than a year later, Hook is down more than 60 pounds and so is McConnaughey. They are so proud of themselves and each other."Mentally, I'm just happier. I'm happier in my own skin, and it makes my household happier. It makes people around me happier. That's been the best part about it," said McConnaughey."I look back at my thirties and... I am so much better at 40, and that's pretty cool to say," Hook remarked.If you want to try one of these apps to help you keep track of your calories, Lose It! is probably one of, if not the most popular. You can get it free on iTunes. You can actually take your phone and scan the barcode of the packaged food that you're eating and it will input the calories for a serving, so it does all the work for you. For more information about the Lose It! app, visit www.loseit.com.

Mobile Navigation Dropdown
Hi Guys,
Currently, I'm working on a mobile navigation. here is what I have so far: http://jsfiddle.net/JeremyEnglert/9cK3X/2/
As you can see, the parent links are highlighted in blue while the child links are highlighted in grey.
I would like to make it so only the parent links show until a parent link is clicked - in which case the child elements will then show. However, I would like the child elements to show without the page having to reload.
I'm assuming I will have to use some jQuery to make this happen - which I have very little experience with.
Anyone want to get me pointed in the right direction?

Your menu is nice and simple, so making the menu work is simply a matter of hiding the child menus and showing them after a parent is clicked, we can then mark the parent as active and then the child menu will be shown.
You'll just need a little bit of CSS:
Code css:
#main-nav_responsive .sub-menu { /* Hide by default */ display:none; } #main-nav_responsive .active > .sub-menu { /* Show when the parent <li> is marked active */ display:block; }
And a few lines of jQuery
Code javascript:
$(document).ready(function() { var $mainNav = $("#main-nav_responsive"); $mainNav.on("click touchend", ".menu > li > a", function(e) { //touchend is faster on mobile devices var $li = $(this).closest("li"); if ($li.find(".sub-menu").length > 0) { //only do toggling when an item with a submenu is tapped e.preventDefault(); //prevent the URL from being followed if this is a parent item's link $mainNav.find(".active").removeClass("active"); //if you want to allow all menus to be open, comment this line out $li.toggleClass("active"); } }); });
On a sidenote, if you're building a mobile site/app it might be worth looking in to using ZeptoJS it's a lightweight library that has a jQuery compatible API. (Unless you end up doing really complicated things or you need Internet Explorer support).
I've also tweaked your Fiddle so you have a working example to go by http://jsfiddle.net/GeekyJohn/9cK3X/13/var details = {

Set second level ul to be invisible by default and create class to show the element.
li ul { display: none; } .show { display:block; }
$(function() { $("div>ul>li>a").click(function(event) { event.preventDefault(); $(this).next("ul").toggleClass("show"); }); });

As was the case with Sidney Crosby's first return from a concussion, which took place back on Nov. 21, 2011, against the New York Islanders, the game between the Pittsburgh Penguins and New York Rangers is being picked up for national television coverage in both the United States and Canada. NBC Sports Network and TSN2 are carrying the game, but because of the short notice that they received, they won't be doing normal broadcasts.
Steve Lepore at Puck The Media has the details.
NBC will not be airing any pre- or post-game coverage of the Rangers/Pittsburgh showdown at Madison Square Garden Thursday night. As of now, it appears TSN2 will not either, beyond the typical hockey coverage SportsCenter does. Though I believe both will provide their own intermission reports. At 7 p.m. ET, both networks will pick up coverage from the ROOT Sports Pittsburgh broadcast, featuring Paul Steigerwald and Bob Errey.
The NBC Sports Network broadcast (7 p.m. ET) will be blacked out in both Pittsburgh and New York City.
For more on the Pens, head over to Pittsburgh Penguins blog Pensburgh and SB Nation Pittsburgh. For more on the Blueshirts, check out New York Rangers blog Blueshirt Banter and SB Nation New York.

A regular at Johns Hopkins University's Center for Talented Youth, Chien doesn't see herself becoming a doctor. At the camp, she regularly participates in the writing program and she said that one of her favorite parts of the iPad2 project was summing the results for publication in a medical journal. Eventually, she wants to write a novel, she said.
Chien first presented her results in the San Joaquin County Science Fair's high school category in March, but the project was beat out for the top spot by work on electromagnetics and on the effect of punctuation mark placement in keyboards on carpal tunnel syndrome.
Chien, who rows in her free time, says she may revisit the issue for next year's science fair, looking at the risks with other electronic products.

Groups are a great tool for organizing the subscribers in your list for targeted communication. If you have multiple lists set up in your account instead of using groups, there's the possibility of ending up with duplicate subscribers across these lists. This can result in a higher overall subscriber count and potentially a larger monthly plan. Using groups instead of multiple lists makes it easier to manage and can save you money!
With MailChimp you can set up as many lists as you need, but if you're not an agency or if you're just looking to do some targeted marketing with segmenting, you may not need that many separate lists. It's almost always best to keep one list and use Groups and segmenting as much as possible. Take a look at this article for more information on list management.
When you add Groups to your list, you can select an option for how the Groups will appear on your signup form, or select the option to not display them. When people sign up for your list they can select the group, or groups, they want to join. Below we'll walk you through two different ways to add Groups to your list.
Add Groups to your list on the Lists page
- Navigate to the Lists page.
- Click on the list drop down menu next to the Stats button for the list you want to add groups to and select Manage Subscribers.
- On the Manage Subscribers page click the Groups option.
- Click the Create Groups button to expand the group options.
- Select an option for how the Groups will appear on your signup form, or select the option to not display them.
- Next, create a Group title and at least one Group name. The Group Title serves as an overall category for your groups in order to keep similar options together. It's best to choose something descriptive, like "What's your favorite food?", and then use the group name to display the different options.
- To add more group names click the + Add Group button.
- Click the Save button when you've added all the information.
- A success message will appear and you can choose to Import To These Groups or click Done For Now.
Add Groups to your list through the signup form
- Navigate to the Lists page.
- Click on the list drop down menu next to the Stats button for the list you want to add groups to and select Signup forms.
- Select General forms.
- Confirm you're on the Build It tab.
- Select the type of Group you want (Radio Buttons, Check Boxes, or Drop Down) from among the field types on the Add a field tab to the right of the signup form.
- Your field settings will appear on the right. Set your preferences for the field and click the Save Field button.
- The new field will now be saved to your signup form.
When you add a field to a form, the Radio Buttons and Drop Drop options can be used as a regular field or as a Group. To convert the newly created field to a Group click the Convert to Groups button on the field settings tab.
Group fields can not be set to required for a sign up form. The logic in our database is such that Groups shouldn't be required because they are considered to be a list of options or interests for segmenting and it is valid for someone to have no interests. If you are an advanced user or have a developer that can help out, a required Groups field could be custom coded using the Advanced forms option(available only to paid accounts) in your account.
This feature is accessible by users with Manager level or higher permissions. Take a look at this article to learn more about the different access levels for a MailChimp account.

This project is the fruit of her travels and encounters with the inhabitants of the favela, Titanzinho, located just outside the town of Fortaleza in Brazil, the home-town of her boyfriend, the pro surfer André Silva.
Lee-Ann was deeply affected by the misery and the many social illnesses's (drugs, alcoholism and violence), which particularly threaten the youngest members of the society. As a way of offering them an alternative to a delinquent lifestyle, she took some photos to help share the daily life of these forgotten faces in order to generate support and raise funds. This will pay for surfboards that will be given to children of the favelas.
Lee-Ann has collected through her travels, a unique collection of a dozen or so surfboards generously donated by prestigious surfers such as Kelly Slater, Stephanie Gilmore, Jérémy Florès, Mick Fanning and Tom Curren.
The boards will be sold on-site at the Quik Pro in the Quiksilver Foundation tent at the price of 1000 euros in aid of her association Surf And Hope
One pro board = 1000€ for Titanzinho's children
For more informations, the teaser of the project is availiable at http://vimeo.com/8572302

BENTON CITY, Wash. -- A Benton City family is reaching out to the community after their five year old son suffered severe burns on much of his body.
Five year old Kase Warner has first, second and third degree burns on 26 percent of his body. He is currently on a respirator and doctors in Seattle estimate it could be two months before Kase is let out of the burn unit at Harbor View Medical Center.
His mother Gina Warner told NBC Right Now her son is going to have to undergo skin graft surgeries on his stomach and back where the worst of the injuries happened. Otherwise Kase does have burns all over his body, including his thighs, legs and face.
On November 3rd Kase, his three year old brother Kie and his father Dan were in their Benton City back yard when a gas can his dad was holding exploded, lighting the boy's clothes on fire. His father, Dan Warner, is an army veteran and immediately jumped into action.
"Danny ran over and rolled him, which is what you're supposed to do, put him out, cut his clothes off, and put him in the cold shower so that saved a lot of the burns," said Barry Orth, the Commissioner for Benton County Fire District 2.
Gina Warner says the family is staying in a temporary apartment thanks to a charity organization, but they only have it until November 19th.
"Something like this is a tragedy for anybody, but when it's a child, it makes it ten times worse. You know I hear stories about this happening to other people but you don't ever think its going to happen to you," Warner said on the phone.
Family and friends have organized a spaghetti feed fundraiser this Saturday November 17th from 5:30pm - 7:30pm at St. John's Lutheran Church Christian Growth Center, located at 1000 Irma Lane in Benton City,
Asking donations are $5 per person or $15 for a family of four, cash or check only.
We can only take cash or checks. Friends have also set up an account in Kase Warner's name at HAPO Community Credit Union.

In these weeks after the holidays, many of you are holding on to gift cards - and you may be wondering when you'll be able to spend those to get the best bang for your buck.One of the more popular holiday gift areas is electronics. and now that the holiday rush is over, local salespeople say it's a great time to find discounts in the stores."Honestly, the best time to buy is right after Christmas," said Juan Lopez, a mobile specialist at Best Buy in Tyler. "With everybody holding their gift cards, they'll actually have an opportunity to spend them since not everybody is coming in here trying to pick up last minute gifts."DealNews.com says early January is one of the best times to find deals on brand-name HDTVs, which you can find for up to 50 percent off.And Deal News says February is a great time to buy consumer electronics like tablets, for 20 to 50 percent off."With Valentine's Day coming up, that's actually a huge e-reader and tablet season, so everyone decides to get their significant other, their loved ones really cool tablets and those are really huge this time of year," Lopez said.Travel is another thing that's great to book at the beginning of the year."It gets people out of the end of the year, the Christmas spree, as you will," said Leisure Travel Consultant Holly McInnis. "It gives everybody a fresh start, and there are a lot of deals out there because the airlines and the cruise lines, the tour companies are trying to attract people to get booked now so that there isn't so much of a rush later."McInnis says you should go ahead and start researching those trips, even if you don't want to travel right away."If you're looking for a February, March, Spring Break kind of trip, of course it is time to book now for sure, but you will find a lot of summer deals now if you're ready to start looking for a summer vacation or even fall travel.McInnis says that many tour companies have a low price guarantee, so you may be able to match a better deal after you book."It is one of those things that if you perceive it to be a good deal, it really is time to book it, because the way things change so frequently now, if you find something today, it's not necessarily going to be there tomorrow," she said.But not to worry if you miss a deal."There's not an expiration date, per se, on the "travel deal" season," McInnis said. "There's always something that will come along that will have an expiration date, but then something will quickly follow that that will have its perks as well."The experts at Best Buy did share a tip - some of the more stable items right now, price-wise, are phones. Typically, the steepest discounts on those items happen in November and December.And both experts say it's a good time to go in - go see those tech experts in the store, now that the holiday shopping craze is over, and even if you decide to research your trip on your own, check in with a travel agent you trust to make sure you're booking a great deal.

Birthday wishes go out today to Stephen Fry, notable British actor, Tweeter, and narrator of the UK Harry Potter audio books. We hope you'll join us at Leaky in wishing Mr. Fry a happy 54th birthday!
Happy Birthday, Stephen Fry!
Happy Birthday! Thank you for your wonderful narration of the Potter books it is truly amazing!
Happy Birthday Mr. Fry!!
Happy Birthday Stephen! I think you do a wonderful job with narrating the Harry Potter books!
Happy Birthday!!
His are the authorised versions of the audiobooks not least because he is a friend of Jo and she was present throughout his recording. It is a great pity that the comparatively very few textual differences in the American text, caused a decision to be made that Jim Dale read those. He did a decent enough job but his readings are simply not in the same league as Fry's.
Happy Birthday to the perfect Harry Potter narrator and a thoroughly good chap! I've listen to the 100 plus CDs pretty well constantly in my car on the way to work for the last few years. By the time I've finished them I'm ready for a rerun. Only problem..Prof McGonagall isn't given a Scottish accent and Tonks has a voice out of 'Last of the Summer Wine' (doesn't complement Lupin's). What am I complaining about…he is a genius. Everyone likes a bit of Fry!
Happy Birthday, Stephen Fry! I love listening to you reading all the Harry Potter books – they are my favoirte audio books. And I particularly enjoyed going along with you on your trek around America. Lots of fun.
Happy Birthday, Stephan Fry.
Happy birthday Stephen! I love listening to you read the books……….though, you do drive me mad because once I've listened to them the voice in my head has your voice for days afterwards! That makes me sound a bit mad. :D
Happy Birthday, Stephen! :o)
Happy Birthday :)
@hpyoda – why should Lupin and Tonks sound similar ? Tonks is given a "Brummie" (Birmingham) accent …. "Last of the Summer Wine" is set in Holmfirth, West Yorkshire …
McGonagall might have a "Mc" to her surname – that does not necessarily imply that she was born or raised in Scotland.
Haaaaaaapy Birthday Steph !!
Happy Birthday Fry!

The New York Knicks are on an improbable three-game win streak after Jeremy Lin had another strong game for the 'Bockers on Wednesday, racking up 23 points and 10 assists in a road victory over the Washington Wizards. On the one hand: it was the Wizards, now 5-21 on the season. On the other hand, this just doesn't really happen at the NBA level, especially before the season has devolved to entire games worth of garbage time. (It is becoming increasingly difficult to argue that every Wizards game isn't a full 48 of garbage time, though.)
The Knicks have won the last two games largely without either Carmelo Anthony (groin injury) or Amar'e Stoudemire (death of brother); there's no telling how Lin's game will be forced to evolve when his high-profile teammates return. ('Melo left Monday's game against the Jazz in the first quarter.) But for the time being, one thing is clear: the Lin-Tyson Chandler pick-and-roll is murder. Chandler racked up 25 points on 7-12 shooting; he's been unleashed during the Linsanity Era.
New York ended up with an offensive efficiency of 119, with Steve Novak hitting five three-pointers off of the bench and totaling 19 points. John Wall had a big game opposite Lin with 29 points on 12-21 shooting with six assists and just one turnover, but he didn't get a whole lot of help on either end. Washington shot just 2-17 on three-pointers; Nick Young and Jordan Crawford, the team's designated gunners, combined to go 0-8 from long-range.
In other action:
Hawks 97, Pacers 87: Josh Smith was nasty, with 28 points on 11-17 shooting, 12 rebounds, five steals, three assists and three blocks.
Cavaliers 99, Clippers 92: Cleveland stunned L.A., as the Clippers' defense played as poorly as it has in weeks. That the Cavs did it without Kyrie Irving (concussion) is all the more reason for some head-shaking. Ramon Sessions had 24 points and 13 assists in Irving's spot, and a thousand Lakers fans just drooled on cue.
Grizzlies 85, Wolves 80: The rims won this game. The teams combined to shoot 38 percent; with all of that awful shooting, Memphis' advantage on the offensive glass (21-10) sealed the game.
Pistons 99, Nets 92: Detroit's won three straight, and the Nets have dropped four in a row. Greg Monroe had 20 points, 12 rebounds and four assists. All-Star! All-Star!
Bulls 90, Hornets 67: Against the Heat on Wednesday, the Magic took 42 three-pointers. In this game, the Hornets took three. New Orleans is soooo old-school.
Bucks 105, Raptors 99: "Carlos Delfino shall thrive, and life shall be good." -- John Hammond 3:16. Twenty-five points for the Argentine.

For The Herald Bulletin
ANDERSON, Ind. —
As signs of the holidays surround Madison County and people get ready for large dinners with friends and family, the Anderson Symphony Orchestra does some prepping of its own.
On Dec. 8, the symphony will host its Christmas Concert, this year titled "A Symphony Holiday." It's a night filled with story-telling, singing and great music at the Paramount Theatre, 1124 Meridian Plaza.
"The Anderson University Chorale will be joining us," said Dana Stone, ASO Executive Director. "It will have the traditional sing-along that a lot of people have come to know and enjoy."
ASO Music Director and Conductor Richard Sowers said the performance will include a "Musicological Journey Through the 12 days of Christmas" and a Christmas tale narrated by Arlon Bayliss, a professor of art at Anderson University and
"We'll also play some pieces from the movie 'Home Alone,'" Sowers said. "You know how it is at Christmas, there are certain movies that you pull out because they are feel good and remind you of the season."
Tickets for the concert can be purchased through
Perhaps new to this year's performance is the chance to enjoy Christmas dinner before the show.
"This is one of our major fundraisers this year," Stone said. "We've done dinners before and the feedback has always been so positive that we wanted to do it again."
Dinner will be catered by Larry Peck and include performances throughout by local vocalist and musician Rick Vale.
"He'll be singing and playing," Stone said. "We are hoping that our audience will come and spend the entire evening with us; have a great meal, private, intimate concert and then enjoy the full symphony with guests the Anderson University Chorale." The dinner is $40 and reservations are still available.

The good: The Dropcam HD WiFi is a Wi-Fi-enabled high-resolution Webcam with two-way sound capabilities. It offers easy setup and flexible mounting options, and you can view a remote video feed over the Internet or on your iOS or Android mobile device via free Dropcam apps. There's no service fee for basic live viewing. DVR functionality is available with a paid plan and recorded video is stored in the cloud.
The bad: You can't tilt or swivel the camera remotely (the lens is fixed) and you may experience some lag with the video and audio, depending on the speed of your Internet service. The need for AC power precludes true wireless operation. Also, there's no native iPad app.
The bottom line: The wireless Dropcam HD Wi-Fi is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a light-duty Web-enabled remote security camera that emphasizes quick and easy setup.

Fantastic Camera Just Shy of Incredible
by Anthony-Lampert on August 1, 2013
Pros: + Excellent video quality
+ Sleek looking, easy to configure, solid mounting options
+ Decent Price
+ Good iOS app
+ No need for special software or a PC running to capture all the data
Cons: - Camera pops out of its stand too easily
- No HTML5 for modern browsers
- No app for Windows Phone

Summary: Trying to find the right camera for watching my sleeping baby or insure my home office is secure is no easy task. You are left most of the time either with either excellent video quality and an impossible to set-up network configuration or just the opposite. Try to add iPhone (or other smartphone device) for monitoring and you've just made your hunt nearly maddening. Thankfully, Dropcam made a remote camera I was looking for...and possibly you.Edit:
The first things that impressed me about this Dropcam was it's price, video quality, and iPhone app. Based on the reviews and TWiT networks stamp of approval, I purchased one to give it a try. I wasn't disappointed upon delivery. The packaging is nicely organized and looks sharp. It was easy to removed the camera and USB cable. I quickly plugged it into my Mac and opened the USB drive image and was immediately configuring the camera in three easy steps. In less than a minute, my camera was configured and ready to stream to the Internet.
I moved the camera to the baby's room and positioned it pointing down in a very low angle. The base held its ground and the camera didn't fall over. Nice. I then took out my iPhone, opened the earlier installed Dropcam app, and quickly logged into my camera. In seconds, I had it perfectly positioned and left the room. The test came when my wife put the baby down to sleep.
We opened the app and took a peek at what was happening. The video clearly showed our 10-month-old not happy with his nap time and the audio prefectly transmitted his cries. Both video and audio were sharp and accurate. He finally gave up his protest and fell asleep. We watched for a few minutes and then closed the app. Both my wife and I kept checking on him from within our home network and later my wife while at the store without ever having to make an adjustment to the Dropcam app.
A little over and hour later, we both received an alert message on our iPhones that movement was detected. I opened my iPhone and there was my little boy sitting up, in a fresh awaken daze. My wife went to get him out of his pen before he began crying to notify us that his nap was done like he previously would. Now, we know before he knows we know. :)
So why did I entitled this being shy of incredible? Well, there are a few quirks that need to be resolved. First, the zoom on the iPhone is very kludgy. You must go into the Settings and then select a section (bottom left, center, top right, etc) to zoom into. There is no way to zoom while viewing the video like you can from the website. Second, when you use the built-in speaker to talk through the camera, you lose audio. There is no two-way communication.
Third, and it's less than a quirk and more a complaint, is that the DVR feature is pricey. You have three option: Live streaming only for free; seven-days of video per month for $9.95, or 30-days for $29.95. That's over $300 a year per camera if you desire to use this for security reasons. Ouch. One other cavet is bandwidth consumption. Most ISPs now cap your total usage and this camera will quickly get you closer to that cap. Add a couple or handful to the mix and you'll be looking for another provider.
That said, I love this camera and will be purchasing another one if not a few more. It comes with a mount so I can easily snap the camera onto the ceiling or move it elsewhere at will. Because it uses Micro-USB for power, you can pretty much power this anywhere with a simple adapter including from your car! (Road trips can become interesting if you're hotspot has a great plan.)
Sleek looking, easy to configure, solid mounting options, and dream-like access from any internet enabled device, Dropcam is now pretty much my only remote camera.
Note: I suggest check best price for this camera at: Monitoringcameradeals.blogspot.com/p/dropcam-hd.html
Hope it helpful.

Pros: Easy setup, great video quality and customer support! I use them for monitoring our home when we travel and it does a great job. The ability to have it snap a picture when sensing sound and/or motion is great. I have 3 cameras in the house.
Cons: The DVR service is not cheap but I do not use it.

Pros: Works well for some.
Cons: Dropcam is a closed system designed to lock you in at a premium price.
Summary: Dropcam may work for you, but a better solution for most is to use the Web Enabled Remote Monitoring Service (werms.com) with any of many more fairly priced cameras.

Best option 4 price, ease of use, apps & cloud options

Pros: Easy & quick set-up (1 time computer set-up required). Great price. Good quality. Cloud DVR option rocks (worth extra $$).
Easy to add multiple cameras.
Price break on additional cloud DVR service.
Android & Apple Apps & web anywhere acces
Cons: Works better with faster WIFI. This is more of a WIFI provider issue, not Dropcam, but if you have a slow WIFI package you may see some video lag.
Wish there was also a price break for multiple camera purchases & outdoor model.

A new version of LinuxCommand.org For Off-Line Viewing has been released incorporating all the recent changes to the tutorials. It is available as both a gzip compressed tar file and a zip file. You may download it from the Script Librarypage.
A few days ago, LinuxCommand.org reached the two million visitor mark. Thanks everyone!
For several months now I have been thinking about the new Eee PC from Asus. In case you haven't heard, the Eee PC is small Ultra-Mobile PC (UMPC) weighing about two pounds, and costing less than $400. So far, the product has been, according to many sources, a runaway success. For me, of course, the important fact about the Eee PC is that it ships with an easy-to-use Linux OS rather than that other operating system.
While one could certainly dismiss the device as an underpowered little toy running an unpopular OS - and there are those detractors - that would be missing the point.
For those of you who have read The Innovator's Dilemma , by Clayton Christensen, you will at once recognize the Eee PC as a "disruptive technology," for it defines an entirely new class of product that expands the laptop market into the new territory of the "portable Internet device." As Christensen observed regarding disruptive technological change,
"Generally disruptive innovations were technologically straightforward, consisting of off-the-shelf components put together in a product architecture that was often simpler than prior approaches. They offered less of what customers in established markets wanted and so could rarely be initially employed there. They offered a different package of attributes valued only in emerging markets remote from, and unimportant to, the mainstream."
Think about the laptop computer market. With all the laptops available today, what's the real difference between them? Aside from a few different screen sizes, nothing. In fact, the problem of product differentiation has gotten so dire that manufacturers are now promoting case colors and textures to make their products seem different from their competitors.
Why is that? Why are all laptop computers basically the same? It's because they are all designed to run only Windows.
While MS-DOS and its decedents, along with the PC BIOS vendors, are responsible for creating today's market of ultra low-cost commodity hardware, they have also created a trap for manufacturers. As a manufacturer, the last thing you want is to be in a commodity market. In a commodity market, the only thing you can compete on is price, which is brutal. What you want is to have a product that is different, a product that can command premium pricing. Apple understands this and that's why you can't buy OS X for commodity PC hardware.
As Asus has demonstrated, once you are not tied to Windows compatibility, you can create new, exciting, and innovative products. But why is Windows a trap? Because it lacks freedom. Freedom gives you control. Whereas a manufacturer using Linux can customize the OS to fit whatever hardware design fits their vision of the market, with Windows they are given a simple choice: "take it or leave it." Where is the freedom in that choice?
Asus is also teaching the industry a lesson that in order to be successful with Linux, you have to treat it seriously. Much of the Eee PC's success can be traced to the work Asus did developing a well thought out user interface for its product. Contrast this with the Everex Cloudbookand the various attempts Wal-Mart has made with desktop Linux machines. If you put a junk Linux installation on your low-cost hardware, you get a junk product. Even Dell, whose Ubuntu systemscreated such excitement in the Linux community, has failed to take advantage of the opportunity that Linux provides. Rather than create a new kind of computer (that isn't forced to meet the hardware requirements for Windows) and crafting a Linux distribution that fully exploits its unique attributes, Dell settled for installing an existing (albeit high-quality) Linux on an existing laptop. This guaranteed that it could be no better than an "almost as good as Windows" computer.
I hope that the industry reflects long and hard on the significance of the Asus Eee PC, as I long for the day when a steady stream of meaningful innovations makes the computer industry exciting again.
The following is from my upcoming book, "The Linux Command Line" due for release in 2009.
When I am asked to explain the difference between Windows and Linux, I often use a toy analogy.
Windows is like a Game Boy. You go to the store and buy one all shiny new in the box. You take it home, turn it on and play with it. Pretty graphics, cute sounds. After a while though, you get tired of the game that came with it so you go back to the store and buy another one. This cycle repeats over and over. Finally, you go back to the store and say to the person behind the counter, "I want a game that does this!" only to be told that no such a game exists because there is no "market demand" for it. Then you say, "But I only need to change this one thing!" The person behind the counter says you can't change it. The games are all sealed up in their cartridges. You discover that your toy is limited to the games that others have decided that you need and no more.
Linux, on the other hand, is like the world's largest Erector Set. You open it up and it's just a huge collection of parts. A lot of steel struts, screws, nuts, gears, pulleys, motors, and a few suggestions on what to build. So you start to play with it. You build one of the suggestions and then another. After a while you discover that you have your own ideas of what to make. You don't ever have to go back to the store, as you already have everything you need. The Erector Set takes on the shape of your imagination. It does what you want.
Your choice of toys is, of course, a personal thing, so which toy would you find more satisfying?
Linux Phrasebook by Scott Granneman
After you have learned a few basics about the command line, your next educational step is to increase your "vocabulary" of Linux commands. This book is a handy tool for that purpose. It's physically small and portable, only four and a half by seven inches, but packs a lot of useful information. It's written in a conversational style (not unlike LinuxCommand.org) and covers many useful topics. The design is fairly task-oriented, so it explains what command to use for what task. Each command is explained concisely but clearly. A good value for the money.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Not everyone has the needle tolerance to endure a full body tattoo by legendary irezumi master Horiyoshi III. However, the famed artist's clothing line Horiyoshi The Thiiird, launched in 2009 and based in London, gives us more cowardly fans a chance to wear all the ink with none of the pain.
For Spring, the label's women's range pulled inspiration from the master's work as well as Horiyoshi's own back tattoo, which was designed by his mentor. The result is a combination of vibrant phoenix, "moon bat," snake, and cloud prints that complement feminine knits and cover delicate scarves, fluid silk frocks, and sweet puff skirts.
To showcase its warm-weather looks, the brand teamed up with director Dominic Dorin to create an intimate Spring film. Providing a Zen-like view of the lookbook shoot, the short focuses on the clothing while revealing the behind-the-scenes dance between model and photographer. As for the relationship between tattoos and fashion, the brand's women's creative director, Dawn Green, offers, "In Japanese tradition, a tattoo should be for oneself and have meaning. Clothing," she adds, "should be the same. It's an expression of you."
