"The overwhelming evidence is negative," said Chudler of the University of Washington, a neuroscientist who has looked at 100 peer-reviewed papers on the lunar effect. "Most of them show no correlation but even if there is a correlation, it doesn't mean one causes the other."
That hasn't stopped police from drawing their own conclusions. In the seaside resort of Brighton, England, the police department decided in 2007 to put extra officers out on the streets during full moons after comparing crime data and lunar graphs and finding that violence waxed and waned along with the moon.
"From my experience, over 19 years of being a police officer, undoubtedly on full moons, we do seem to get people with sort of stranger behavior — more fractious, argumentative," Andy Parr, an inspector with Sussex police, told the BBC.
Chudler's sister-in-law, a sheriff in the Seattle area, is a staunch believer in the lunar effect, he said.
"Of course when you talk to the bartender or the police officer or the nurse they'll say there's an effect," he said.

Asia is the biggest continent on Earth, a darling little gem floating around in space.
Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?
China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.
Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.
Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.
I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.
The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.
China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.

Monday, Monday
One of the more peculiar items I find when checking my blog stats is that I still get hits for a blog item I wrote in 2008 — 2008 — about Microsoft's 10-K report that year and how it implies how good the open source paradigm might be compared to its own software and its own business model.
Bear in mind that one of the purposes of a 10-K report — somewhat like the medical disclaimers you hear on drug commercials that, after listening to it, would make any normal person avoid the drug at all costs — is to outline any potential pitfall in buying stock in the company you're considering so you can't sue them if, well, the stock goes south; way south.
Why the blog item keeps getting hits is beyond me, but for those who keep reading it, thanks.
A brave man: My friend Steven Rosenberg, who writes a tech column for the Los Angeles Daily News, wades into uncharted territory in his column today, where he outlines dual-booting a Lenovo with Fedora and . . . wait for it . . . Windows 7. As always, Steven's blogs are always informative and instructional, and the reasoning behind his using the Xfce spin of Fedora is something that hadn't occurred to me before. Steven says in the blog that he "prefer(s) the Xfce tools over those in GNOME. I like the Thunar file manager, the way you can 'minimize' a window but keep it visible on the desktop, I like the look (and speed; these helper apps are super-quick) and functionality of the Xfce terminal and Mousepad text editor. The Xfce configuration apps all work great, and there are plenty of them." Nice work, as always, Steven. Keep us posted on this dual-boot adventure.
Survey says: Ken Starks over at the Blog of HeliOS has a fairly interesting survey to be taken, if you have several minutes. Tell Ken how you use GNU/Linux or Linux and help him out.
Now, who wants more coffee?

Twin brothers of separate mothers
One of us is a battle tested, recently retired career Army man who is a veteran of Operation Desert Storm. The other is a former peace and social justice activist with portfolio who rose through the Green Party's California ranks before taking up FOSS evangelism with a vengance.
One of us lives in Texas, where the stars at night are big and bright (clap four times here), while the other lives on the Central California coast, where — and it's a law, I think — every sentence must end with the word " . . . dude."
One of us swears by KDE, the other prefers GNOME but really has an affinity for Xfce. One of us calls the operating system "Linux" out of laziness. The other makes a point of referring to it as "GNU/Linux" because the "GNU should get its due."
Ken Starks and I have our differences. I would be willing to bet he doesn't think Texas cheated in the Rose Bowl when they beat USC for the national championship a year ago (they did), nor do I think he would agree with me that the former Texas governor cheated in the 2000 election to win the presidency (he did ). Ken grew up a Cubs fan — anyone who knows me knows how much I detest the Cubs ('89 NLCS, anyone?) — but he now follows the Houston Astros, while I live and die, mostly die, with the San Francisco Giants.
Yet it's safe to say that Ken and I are united in one thing: Promoting Linux (as he'd say) in the home desktop/laptop and small business environment; that, and making sure everyone knows they have FOSS options to their proprietary computing experience.
My introduction to Ken — I haven't actually met him in person yet — came after what I thought was a slight in a Blog of Helios of one of my heroes, Abbie Hoffman. Yes, for those of you keeping score at home, Ken is the ever-outspoken helios. He and I started exchanging e-mails afterward, discussing — among other things — how to get GNU/Linux (thank you) in front of everyday people who would benefit from being out from under the thumb of Microsoft's monopoly.
A result of these discussions is our partnership in HeliOS Solutions, where I do what he does in Texas on the West Coast, down to initiating a Komputers4Kids program in Felton. Another result is the project called Lindependence 2008, which we had discussed ad nauseum starting late last summer and had refined through the fliter of The Tux Project in the meantime.
So if you were to tell me a few years ago that I'd be teaming up with a Army vet on a project to save the digital realm for FOSS, I would have laughed myself into a new pair of underwear. If you were to tell Ken that he'd be teaming up with a tree-hugging, pony-tailed hippie, he'd probably have the same reaction.
Yet here we are, and that's where we should be: United for the operating system, whatever we choose to call it, and united for the promotion of FOSS programs that work as well, and in some cases better, than proprietary software it should replace.
If our partnership is a testament to anything, it shows that promoting GNU/Linux and FOSS transcends background, upbringing and politics. In fact, it even transcends sports in general and, as much as I hate to admit it, baseball in particular.
(And, Ken, Texas did too cheat in the Rose Bowl . . . )

Intrepid what?
The name of the next Ubuntu animal in the menagerie: With its April/October release dates firmly etched in stone, Ubuntu has named its October 2008 release Intrepid Ibex. Interpid what? Ibex — it's a is a type of wild mountain goat with large recurved horns that are transversely ridged in front (and, dang, those horns are long). Here are the details right from the horse's, er Mark Shuttleworth's mouth.
The next set of names that come from Linux Mint, once they reach "Z" (Zelda?) will start again with an "A" but will end with an "e", according to Linux Mint's Clement Lefebvre. I mentioned the naming convention in the Linux Mint chapter of "Eight Distros a Week" — it's alphabetical women's names ending in "a" — and wondered aloud when they got to "Z," whether the names restarting with "A" would end in a "b." Nope, Clem says, they'll start with "A" but the last letter will be "e." Nice touch. Thanks for clarifying that, Clem.
G'day, Firefox: While Firefox's gains against Internet Exploder generally focuses on the percentages garnered in Europe, the place where Firefox is really taking off is Oceania, where 31 percent of Australians and New Zealanders are using the browser. Those are the results from a French polling firm called XiTi, and the story can be found here. And here in North America? A hefty 21 percent, third behind the Aussies and Kiwis of Oceania and the 23 percent of Europe.
Rolling Funder: The blogger known as Helios — a man who has made it his life's mission to promote GNU/Linux at every turn — has an interesting concept in a recent blog which, if it works (and my money is on it working), would make a truly sound foundation for building a truly grassroots promotional vehicle for FOSS. I'm very much on board with this one, Helios — count me in.
On the BSD side . . . Steven Rosenberg of Click is smack in the middle of a BSD odyssey which is as intriguing as it is informative and entertaining. Not only this, it has kindled my interest in attempting to get NetBSD running on one of these old Macs just one more time (although, sheesh, Steven — those 5 a.m. posting times on your blog must be murder . . . .).

12 oz. bottle poured into pilsener
L: almost gold, a bit darker than many pilseners ... 100% crystal clear, and so effervescent ... looks like a scientific experiment going on in the glass! bubbles and bubbles and bubbles. tidy but thick white head of foam almost 1 inch that stays about 1/4-inch think because so much carbonation is still rising well after the pour; sticking and lacing with a huge collar of foam. perfect
S: biscuit malt, some grassy/spicy hops in back; some saltiness in there, almost bacon-like; as we get going, starts to take on some of the floral/peach/fruity notes you taste ... might be the tasting is affecting the smelling here, but it's nice either way
T: wow ... super sweet bread malt that's almost fruity (English pale ale-like) ... peach; very floral, but there's a definite black-pepper bite in there. it's just a tad watered-down from some of the best pilseners I've tried, and there's no big American-style hop bite here -- but, man, this is good stuff. has just a hint of butteriness like an English brown ale.
F: not as dry as you can get with the pilsener, just a bit juicier. a bit thin, but at 4.4% ABV, I'm willing to pass it all off as "very drinkable" ... and it is, loads of carbonation help fluff up the body
O: yet another solid installment in the pilsener family ... perhaps not my absolute favorite, but whereas some showcase more hops or more bite, this brew is a full-on fruity sweet version and would be a perfect gateway beer to the more bitter pilseners of the world. good brew!

12 oz bottle into a pint glass.
A: Pours a clear golden color. The head is a finger high and eggshell in shade. The retention is quite poor and its texture is rough looking. Only a modicum of lacing is left on the glass.
S: Aromatically, it's rather dinky - not only is the hop profile muted, so is the malt backbone. There are some buttery touches; again, it's really faint. Its maltiness comes through more vividly once it opens up, but it's too little and too late.
T: Huh. This tastes cardboardy, there's no way around it. There are touches of grape around the middle and a mildly bitter finish - unfortunately it doesn't save it. I don't think it's super old, but it tastes pretty oxidized to me.
M: This is reasonably thick for only 4.4%. On the other hand, it isn't dry or crisp enough to go down effortlessly. Well carbonated, though, so it's not entirely undrinkable.
O: This one is meh city. Not only is it not what I want from the style, the cardboard taste kills it even further. With Pilsner Urquell so readily available, I see absolutely no reason to return to this.

A: Pours a crystal clear medium golden yellow in color with moderate to heavy amounts of active visible carbonation streaming from the bottom of the glass and some pale yellow highlights. The beer has a half finger tall sudsy foamy white head that reduces to a large patch of mottled thick film and a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass. Light amounts of lacing are observed.
S: Moderate aromas of bready malts with moderate aromas of sparkling apple cider (initially but it fades after a few minutes). Light hints of grassy hops.
T: Upfront there is a moderate flavor of bready malts with a light to moderate amount of light fruit (apple) sweetness. There is a light presence of grassy hops which impart just a touch of bitterness which does not linger for long.
M: Light to medium bodied with moderate to heavy amounts of carbonation. Crisp upfront and smooth towards the finish.
O: Easy to drink and refreshing though not overly complex or interesting. I'm not sure that I would go out of my way to find this one again but it goes pretty well with spicy foods.

Picked up at the local beer store, let's see how well it compares to actual beers in Prague.
Pours a nice fizzy foamy 1 finger head that fades pretty slowly, just a little lacing though, it's crystal clear with a slight small sediment all over mixed in somehow, a golden but watery looking tan colored beer.
Nose isn't too bad, a typical Czech lager actually but not quite as good as the ones in Prague, some grainy toasty malts, a soft layered lager malt base with some complexity, little grassy, with mild grassy hops, not nearly the hop character as most Czech lagers I had over there, and overall a bit lighter, but not skunked or ruined... at least yet.
Taste starts with more of the sweet malts, grainy toasty cereal malts, little sweetness, little watery too but not bad, soft layered malts. Then hops, and plenty of them this time, earthy and herbal mostly, little grassy leafy, starting mildly bitter but ramping quickly, and even a touch of a fruity character. Lager brings the slightest sulfury and mineral note, but mostly soft and crisp. Finish is quite bitter with a long lingering herbal grassy hop note, little fruity, mild toasty straw malts, and somewhat crisp lager.
Mouth is lighter bod and a little watery but not much, lots of popping carb, mild soft lager crispness.
Overall not bad, nothing really ruined, a hint of sulfur note but not much if any, hops eventually kick in although not the same bright hops I remember from Czech Rep, but decent malt profile and lager notes, well rounded, little light on the malts and body though, but still just a step below most of the beers I had in Prague.

Questions mount over how Cleveland women's captivity went undetected
As authorities prepared to file charges against three brothers suspected of keeping three young women captive for nearly a decade, police on Wednesday said they found chains and ropes used to bind the victims inside the Cleveland house where they were held.
Some details about the women's ordeal began to emerge as euphoria over their rescue on Monday evening gave way to questions of how their imprisonment inside a house on a residential street in Cleveland went undetected for so long.
Several neighbors said they had called police to report suspicious activity at the house in a dilapidated neighborhood on Cleveland's West Side, where Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, Michelle Knight and Berry's 6-year-old daughter escaped from their captors.
But police denied those calls from neighbors were made.
"We have no record of those calls coming in over the last 10 years," Cleveland Police Chief Michael McGrath said Wednesday on NBC's "Today" show.
McGrath said he was confident police did not miss opportunities to find the missing women.
"Absolutely, there's no question about it," he said.
FBI agents were searching through the house where the women were believed held since vanishing between 2002 and 2004 from the same neighborhood, he said.
"We have confirmation that they were bound, and there (were) chains and ropes in the home," he said.
The women had been allowed outside "very rarely" during their captivity, he said. "They were released out in the backyard once in a while."
McGrath said the women were in good physical condition, "considering the circumstances."
The three suspects were expected to be charged by the end of the day, McGrath said. He said the suspects were being interviewed and "Yes, they are talking."
One suspect, Ariel Castro, 52, who was fired from his school bus driving job in November for "lack of judgment," was arrested almost immediately after the women escaped on Monday. Brothers Pedro Castro, 54, and Onil Castro, 50, were taken into custody a short time later.
The women's imprisonment came to a dramatic end after a neighbor, drawn by the sound of screams, broke through the door to rescue Berry, whose 2003 disappearance as a teenager was widely publicized in the local media. He helped her place an emergency call to authorities.
Berry, now 27, was found with her 6-year-old daughter, conceived and born during her captivity, along with DeJesus, 23, who vanished aged 14 in 2004, and Knight, 32, who was 20 when she went missing in 2002.
Cleveland Mayor Frank Johnson said on Tuesday that child welfare officials had paid a visit to the house in January 2004 because Castro was reported to have left a child on a school bus while he stopped for lunch at a fast-food restaurant. But no one answered the door and the ensuing inquiry found no criminal intent, officials said.
Neighbors report suspicious incidents
Police have not said what role each man is suspected of playing in the case, but Berry named Ariel Castro in her 911 call as the man from whom she was trying to escape.
Questions have mounted about why the women's captivity escaped notice.
"We didn't search hard enough. She was right under our nose the whole time," said Angel Arroyo, a church pastor who had handed out flyers about DeJesus in the neighborhood.
Aside from the school bus incident in 2004, city officials said a database search found no records of calls to the house or reports of anything amiss during the years in question.
"We have no indication that any of the neighbors, bystanders, witnesses or anyone else has ever called regarding any information, regarding activity that occurred at that house on Seymour Avenue," the mayor said.
Israel Lugo, a neighbor, said he called police in November 2011 after his sister saw a girl at the house holding a baby and crying for help. He said police came and banged on the door several times but left when no one answered.
About eight months ago, Lugo said, his sister saw Ariel Castro park his school bus outside and take a large bag of fast food and several drinks inside.
"My sister said something's wrong … That's when my mom called the police," he said. Lugo said police came and warned Castro not to park the bus in front of his house.
Another neighbor, Anthony Westry, said a little girl could often be seen peering from the attic window of the Castro house.
"She was always looking out the window," he said. Castro would take her to the park to play very early in the morning, "not around the time you would take kids to play," he said.
In the one acknowledged visit to the house by Cuyahoga County Children and Family Services Department officers in January 2004, more than a year after Knight disappeared and eight months after Berry went missing, no one answered the door, the mayor said.
Police said Castro was interviewed extensively during the investigation regarding the child left on the bus, and that no criminal wrongdoing was found. A witness had reported Castro telling the child to "lay down, bitch," but child welfare officials concluded the complaint was unsubstantiated.
Born in Puerto Rico, Ariel Castro played bass in Latin music bands in the area. Records show he was divorced more than a decade ago and his ex-wife had since died. He is known to have at least one adult daughter and son.
On a Facebook page believed to be his, Castro said last month that he had just become a grandfather for a fifth time. Court records show he was arrested in 1993 on a domestic violence charge that was subsequently dismissed.

Tricycle, Summer 2014
The logic of morality is often based on a wish, an assumption, or an aspiration toward self-mastery in service of a spiritual or worldly goal. Buddhists in the West, for instance, often present morality as the necessary basis for meditation, as a means of gaining a personal stability that allows one to practice beneficially. Another kind of moral logic is based on calculation. This might manifest as fear of retribution, whether in terms of karma or as sin against divine law, or, conversely, as hope for a reward. Even secular morality often has this attitude: if I am good to others when they need help, then I'm creating social capital for when I need help. Modern Western Buddhists often include in this kind of logic of morality a calculation about gaining happiness: if I am good to others, I create the conditions for my own mental well-being.
Pureland Buddhism has a different starting point. Pureland moral logic starts with the recognition that self-mastery sets the self against the self and thereby undermines the very thing it is attempting to do. Pureland instead aims to undermine the calculation involved in trying to master oneself. It does this by directing us to be grateful for the support of others for whatever good we are able to do. Our meritorious actions are only possible because of countless others who conspire unknowingly to guide us, help us, and create the conditions in which our typically confused and ambiguous efforts to do good don't backfire on us. Pureland's faith in other-power and nembutsu (keeping Buddha in mind) lays a basis for a radically different approach to spiritual practice than what many meditators bring to it. Let us, therefore, consider the possibility, whether or not one is a Pureland Buddhist, that Pureland ideas can reorient and enrich how we understand morality, resting it on a foundation that does not set the self against itself and that starts not from how we imagine we'd like to be but from how we actually are.
At the core of morality is morale; a person in good morale is less likely to act in an unprincipled manner. Morale is essentially a matter of faith, which is the mainspring of motivation. People do things that contribute to what they have faith in, be it a goal, an ideal, certain values, an institution, or some other base. Obviously, faith is not always positive. No doubt the Gestapo had faith in the supremacy of the Aryan race, for instance. Or as Dale Carnegie points out in the original self-help book How to Make Friends and Influence People, even Al Capone regarded himself as a good man who was simply implementing the values he believed in. This is all in line with basic Buddhist thinking that wickedness is mainly a matter of error. Acts that are akushala (mentally unskillful or unwholesome) rather than kushala (wholesome or skillful), to use the Indian terminology, are basically mistakes flowing from wrong belief rather than sins or disobedience to an overruling deity.

Computer All Stars
Home > Departments > Ithaca Youth Bureau > Youth Development > Computer All Stars
Computer All Stars a community reuse and recycle program. Participants who are interested in computer repair and maintaining a healthy environment can learn how to diagnose, repair and upgrade donated computers to build one to take home or provide a computer to a local family.
Education: Since its inception in 2000, over 500 young people have completed the Computer All Stars training program. Aside from being exposed to one of the fastest growing career fields in the country, participants have learned the values of environmental conservation, benefited from top-notch mentorship and gained valuable life and job skills.
Environment: Electronic waste (e-waste) is one of the fasted growing environmental problems in our world today. More than 250 million PCs and 100 million cell phones are tossed aside in the U.S. every year, with each device containing an array of environmentally hazardous chemicals including lead, barium and arsenic. When e-waste is improperly disposed of or left at the landfill, these hazardous chemicals leach out into our air and water supplies. One of the best solutions for e-waste is the reuse and proper recycling of electronics. On average, Computer All Stars refurbishes 100 computer packages each year and properly recycles over 6 tons of computer equipment.
Equality: Computers are increasingly necessary to perform everyday societal tasks. Consequently, not being able to afford a computer can be a huge social and economic disadvantage. Computer All Stars actively works to close the "digital divide" that exists between low-income people and high-income people in our society. Since 2000, Computer All Stars has distributed more than 1000 computers to people in need in our community.

Welcome to NBA Scores, a daily SB Nation feature in which I'll give you a quick, snappy rundown of the league's action and curate the best recaps from our team blogs. This is the piece to look at if you need a quick read on what happened. To dig in, check the recaps. You can always find NBA Scores at sbnation.com/nba-scores. (Pretty simple, right?)
Let's dig in, starting with marvelous, sweet Cosmic Justice.
Mavericks 99, Lakers 91
Oh man. The Lakers, with four Hall-of-Famers in the starting lineup, lost on opening night to a team missing Dirk Nowitzki and Chris Kaman, forced to start Brandan Wright and offer heavy minutes to Eddy Curry. Dallas played exceptionally tough -- this is not a team that will back down from the superpowers, no matter the talent disparity. Pau Gasol, the forgotten man, was L.A.'s best player (23 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists -- all game highs) but the Lakers went a stunning 12-31 from the free throw line (Dwight Howard was 3-14) and got embarrassed. New Mavs point guard Darren Collison had 17 on 8-12 shooting. The world is just. Great job hating, everyone.
Heat 120, Celtics 107
The post-positional apocalypse is upon us, and I forget to pick up more Top Ramen. Miami started LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Shane Battier up front, and were pretty much unstoppable when those guys were in the game. Miami broke it open in the third (winning the quarter 31-22) and staved off the Boston comeback as LeBron dealt with cramps. You'll hear more about Rajon Rondo's hard foul on Dwyane Wade than you will about Kevin Garnett's dismissal of Ray Allen. But you'll hear plenty about both.
Cavaliers 94, Wizards 84
Yes, there was a third game on Tuesday! It actually tipped off the NBA season. Anderson Varejao racked up 23 rebounds (12 offensive) -- but he had plenty of opportunities as the 'Zards shot 35 percent. It's amazing, frankly, that Washington was in the game in the second half given that abysmal shooting. But the Wizards collected 18 of their own misses on the glass and won the turnover war 20-12. In the end, the awful shooting night was too much to overcame and the Irving-Waiters backcourt is 1-0.

Using OSCommerce For Building Robust E-Commerce Solutions
E-Commerce is a very familiar term today especially with the dotcom revolution, there has been spur of such services. To put it simply, Ecommerce or Ebusiness is all about buying and selling of products or services over electronic systems such as the Internet and other computer networks. Unlike traditional business, Ebusiness doesn't require any physical interaction between the parties. Everything is online and thus far more convenient for the businesses to function. A number of examples can be shown here for the companies who have successfully ventured themselves into this ebusiness and have been making huge profits with the same. Two such most renowned companies are Amazon and Ebay.
Amazon is America's largest online retailer, with nearly three times the Internet sales revenue of the runner up, Staples, Inc., as of January 2010 whereas eBay Inc. is an American Internet company that manages eBay.com, an online auction and shopping website in which people and businesses buy and sell a broad variety of goods and services worldwide. Founded in 1995, eBay is one of the notable success stories of the dot-com bubble; it is now a multi-billion dollar business with operations localized in over thirty countries.
A lot can be learned from these two companies and a feeling comes naturally if they can why can't we. Believe me, it is far more easier than it was three to five years back. Yes, it just takes some products, a site to list and sell your products followed with some effective marketing strategies to make it work finally. Its not just me infact anyone can have its online business running in minutes provided you have a list of your products and services to offer to your customers. Once you have them, the next big thing comes in choosing a platform where you can list and sell your products online. This really can be a major hurdle as it is never easy to decide over right online selling system. The internet today is full of online automated shopping systems where you just have to install a piece of code and voila your ebusiness is ready to kick off !!
Well, having gone through quite a number of automated shopping systems in the past, I have to say here that I was disappointed with most of them until I came across OSCommerce, which I believe is one of the finest systems to take care of your online business. With OSCommerce, you can have your ebusiness or ecommerce site running in minutes.
To tell you more, OSCommerce is a full fledged web based application for creating ecommerce sites. It is a complete online store management software program that runs on a server having PHP and MySql installed. OSCommerce is available as free software under the GNU General Public License. Yes, you can download it completely free of cost. There's nothing to pay for but only to gain in terms of financial benefits. OSCommerce allows you to create a feature packed robust online shopping system and a thing which makes it stand out from the crowd is its flexibility which can be seen with the customization it offers.
Some of the most prominent features of OSCommerce are as follows :
- Compatible with PHP 4 and MySQL – easily portable to version 5
- Compatible with all major browsers.
- Multi-lingual English, German and Spanish by default.
- Automatic web-based installation.
- Unlimited number of products and categories.
- Automatic setup of e-commerce payment systems: Authorize.net, Netbilling.com, 2Checkout.com, iPayment.de, PayPal.com, PsiGate.com, SECPay.com, and TrustCommerce.com; Many other add-on ecommerce payment systems, off-line (manual) credit card payments, and on-line payment processing.
- Multi-currency support via manual update from exchange rate server.
- Support for dynamic images (one image per product).
- Supports physical products as well as product downloads.
- Web-based administration module.
- Database backup and restore.
- Temporary and permanent shopping carts.
- Secure transactions with SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) support.
- Many shipping options including by weight, price, or destination.
- Real-time shipping quote integration with UPS, USPS.

- Multiple payment gateways to choose from, additional modules available for download;
- Best selling items' category;
- Ability to add Search engine friendly (SEF) URL's;
- Option to backup and upgrade the osCom system;
Yes, these are some sureshot advantages of using this application. Mostly because, I have had practical experience with the same, I must say….these are very much true. You will never ever feel like lacking anything when you are working with OSCommerce. A thing which I like the most about the same, SEO benefits where I can easily add and edit meta tags for any product which has been listed under product categories. This follows up with search engine friendly url's which makes sure your product's page is ranking well in SERPS provided you have optimized it properly for your keywords.
Now, how and where to start with it all? Well, there are 'n' number of resources on the web to help you out with the same. If you are really interested to know and learn more about the same, then please try checking out these Video Tutorials on OSCommerce. These video tutorials will teach you everything from basic installation to complete administration. Once you are through with the tutorials, you can try out with the installation by downloading the most recent version of the OSCommerce.
Now, unlike my previous posts where I have been writing mostly about blogging and related things, I decided to come up this time with this information on OSCommerce. Honestly, I haven't been paid anything for writing all these. For me, it is all based on my experience with the same where I still find OSCommerce as one of the most versatile systems for building an effective eCommerce solution.

Thanks for this wonderful post Aswani!! I have used ZScart for one of my clients, I have heard of OScommerce, but never thought of giving it a try, but now that I hear that its free I'll surely put my hands on it in a few days. I also remember that you had a degree in e-commerce, maybe thats what gives you an upper hand
Well written post Aswani and thanks for the heads up! I never heard of OScommerce before, and surely I'll will give a try. I don't know a free ecommerce software that includes all these features. I'm planning to open a store online soon and surely I will try to test this beautiful software.
Hi Aswani,
OS is great,I had some small experience with several of these and OS sure has some benefits to it. personally I am a Magento kind of guy, you can't beat habits, it's just like you and Blogger.
The issue I had with eCommerce sites is setting up the payment system. Since Serbia doesn't have PayPal it can be quite a nightmare to open up a web store. I had to dig and dig until I found the right solution. Aside from that, like you said, it is much easier to start an online store now then it was a few years back. We have everything rolled up in a neat package, there are even WordPress based eCommerce plugins like Zen Cart and others.
if you want a cheap domain name with one year free web Hosting then you can register your domain at http://www.registermydomain.co in Rs. 99/- I think this is the best deal ever
Nice information collection very good post thanks for sharing the information.

44.7MP sounds too great to be true!
Plus it's more than Nikon's 36, so all those people whining about resolution can stop buying a d800 and start saving for a 1d ... now we only need to see the dynamic range :-p, I wonder if Canon's new baby will have raw recording like non-1d bodies with Magic Lantern.
I lol at DRones who forget that 21MP still makes Jumbo sized prints.

Swindon businesses should benefit from Cyber Monday
3:34pm Monday 3rd December 2012 in News By Amber Hicks
ONLINE retailers have been bombarded with customers in what was expected to be their busiest day of the year as Christmas shoppers hit the net for 'Cyber Monday'.
Today is set to be their best selling day of the year, with predictions of a 70 per cent increase in sales as people take to the internet to buy Christmas presents.
Recent years have seen online shopping figures constantly peaking on the first Monday in December, as a result of many people receiving their last pay cheque before Christmas and hunting out bargains online.
Heydar Faramarzi, chairman of Swindon's Chamber of Commerce is advising businesses in Swindon to use the internet to boost sales.
"Those who are not online lose out, so that is why we are encouraging businesses in Swindon in the retail industry to go online and take advantage of social media such as Facebook and Twitter, and take advantage of online marketing and promote their business as much as they can," he said.
"Christmas is just around the corner and going online is great to beat the rush and get presents online and because today is Cyber Monday it is reminding people to place orders."
Consumers are expected to spend £222,222 per minute today with an equivalent of 4,722 transactions every 60 seconds.
Amazon.co.uk also predicts Cyber Monday is going to be its biggest single day, with orders set to peak at 9.20pm. While Asda Direct say they are expecting to see a 50 per cent spike in traffic in its electrical section, and on its fashion brand website George.com they predict they will shift 12,000 onesies.
The busiest shopping day on the high street is typically closer to the 25th and often falls two days before Christmas, with the weekend of December 22 and 23 expected to draw peak numbers of shoppers this year.

Hyphen Update: Half-Blood Prince Across the Board (and Pond)News
September 23, 2004, 08:39 AM
As a followup to our notice that, in contrast to the way the title's been used on JKRowling.com, there will be a hyphen in the American edition of HBP, we've just confirmed it will also be in place in the British edition. The book will be Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince whether you be Yank or Brit. This decision was made to be consistent with the use of the term in rest of the series.
(Yes, we know, you can all sleep better tonight now that this troubling matter is solved. Glad to be of service. :)

How I'm Writing My Next Screenplay (And You Can Too!)
At the beginning of 2013, I wrote about 6 things I'm doing to write my best screenplay ever this year (and you can too!). I thought it would get my usual small number of hits, disappear under the camera posts, and I'd move on to writing more posts about successful screenwriters and their words of wisdom. But I was wrong. While the post didn't generate nearly as much traffic as our more popular camera posts, a lot of you read it and passed it around, making it one of my more popular posts, so thank you. Two months into the year, and based on the success of that post, I thought I would share with you my progress and delve into my own screenwriting process.
The Initial Idea
If you're like me, you're constantly evaluating stories you hear on the news or in magazines or simply random thoughts in your head to see if they would make a good movie. More often than not, I can discard a story idea because I've already seen that movie before and this idea/story doesn't offer a fresh spin on it, or the idea doesn't lend itself to a 90-minute to 2-hour storyline (i.e. a funny anecdote may be great to entertain your friends at a party for ten minutes, but nobody wants to sit through the hour-and-a-half version of that anecdote).
Every once in a while, the kernel of an idea will stick with me, but the story won't have emerged. If the idea won't let go, inevitably a combination of "what-if" scenarios will soon start dancing around that idea, looking for a good pairing (and mixing metaphors). More often than not, the scenarios in which I can relate to the story from personal experience tend to come together with the initial idea.
For the current screenplay I am writing, the initial idea was an actual event in my life — something a bit shocking, but merely an anecdote, not a story by itself (my apologies for being vague about the details — I'm not quite ready to unveil the story to the world). After several months of thinking about the incident and my reaction to it, I knew the incident itself wasn't a story, but I realized that it could set up a story that would allow me to explore the growth of a protagonist facing a worst-case scenario over the course of a feature-length film. I also realized that I could explore the intersecting story lines of two of the supporting characters grappling with their own worst-case scenarios and contrast their story arcs with the protagonist in ways that I thought would make the overall storytelling richer.
The Timeline
While the actual writing of the screenplay from page one to page 100 may go at a steady clip for me, getting to page one takes a long time. To give you a sense of how long this particular story has taken me to craft up until this point, I thought it would be useful to lay out my timeline for you:
- Fall 2011: The real-life incident
- May 2012: My initial brainstorming session in Word
- June – early Sept. 2012: Revisited my initial brainstorming, adding new notes and ideas
- Mid-Sept. – early Oct. 2012: Outlined three main characters and their journeys
- Oct. 2012: Beat out the story on index cards
- Nov. 2012: Brainstormed the tone of the story, watching comparable films
- Dec. 2012: Brainstormed the relationship between the two main characters, referring to the index cards beats
- Dec. 2012: Updated story beats on index cards
- Mid-Dec. 2012 – Jan. 2013: Wrote long-form story treatment
- Jan. – Feb. 2013: Read comparable screenplays for tone
- Feb. – early Mar. 2013: Currently writing first draft of the screenplay in Final Draft (approx. 5 pages a day)
That's where I am so far. Here's what I plan to do after I finish the first draft of the screenplay in early March:
- Mid Mar. 2013: Step away from the screenplay draft for a week once it is complete
- Mid Mar. 2013: Print out and read screenplay with a critical eye, making notes for first rewrite
- Mid-late Mar. 2013: Rewrite
- Early Apr. 2013: Seek out feedback from trusted sources
- Mid Apr. 2013: Rewrite again based on feedback
Then What?
Beyond being a story that won't let me go until I finish writing the screenplay, I also wanted to write this story to have a screenplay similar in tone and style to my Nicholl semifinalist script that I am trying to put together as my first feature. Once that project comes together and someone asks me if I have something else in a similar vein, I want to be ready to show them the screenplay I am currently writing. I've certainly written other screenplays in a similar tone and style to my Nicholl semifinalist script, and while some of those scripts were well received, they have been around for a while and I needed a fresher story. Plus, as I continue to write, I think I continue to become a better writer.
So, that's my current process. As you can see, writing a screenplay for me takes quite a while from the initial concept to completing the first draft. I don't even open Final Draft until I've written the story many times in outlines, on note cards and in long-form treatment. Nevertheless, something new always pops up at each stage to surprise me, making the story better along the way.

Good read. I don't always comment but i do read your posts. That is a long process but I like the outlines for each main character. I do an exercise where I will write about the characters parents or maybe back to their grandparents and work my way down the line to the character. It gives you a ton of insight into their upbringing and why they may act the way they do.

Hey Jason,
That's a great way to think about backstory – the family lineage.
How much I go into my character's backstories depends on what I'm writing. Every time seems a little different depending on how well I know the characters before I start writing the story. I've written short 2-3 page stories for characters that take place before the screenplay's story, I've written journal entries from the character's POV, I've simply outlined parts of their background. Sometimes, I've even decided to determine the five pivotal moments of a character's life before the screenplay story happens and determine how each of those pivotal moments shaped the character's path until now – and how those moments will inform the character's decisions during the screenplay's story. I try not to get too complicated, but backstory always helps me understand why a character does something in my screenplay.
Jason Dunphy on 03.3.13 @ 12:50PM
Those are all great. I love doing other stories from the characters POV to get inside their head.
Peter Nylund on 03.2.13 @ 3:58PM
Nice post.
I am working on a web series script myself (drama) and have been very active in the writing part lately. In large, my process is similar in the way that I first outline the plot roughly. I do it in a text file with a text row instead of with index cards.
To get the characters, I give them musical themes. Then I group a couple of songs in my iPhone for each character and a couple of situations I have and listen to them whenever I walk to work, sit on a bus or whatever. This way I live inside my story all the time and expand it, bit by bit.
When I do the writing it goes really fast. One 25 minute episode is written in a couple of days max. I use Celtx and have it on practically all my devices and synch my stuff to the cloud so I can write whenever i get the urge.
Whenever I have a first version with the whole story written, I print it and hand it out to my closest feedback coaches while I start writing on the next episode. This has proven to be really fast.
Christopher Boone on 03.2.13 @ 5:47PM
Thanks for sharing, Peter. I really like the music assigned to characters to help you get into their worlds.
abhishek on 03.2.13 @ 9:22PM
Thought i would be intresting to share my new discovery which helped me to write fast..
I have written many screenplays. But the fastest I wrote was the one I am making now .the sole reason is that I kept aside final draft/word /android apps and wrote long hand with pen paper.and used index cards with the large push pin board. Intially I thought it would be a waste of time but to my surprise I completed 4 treatments and two drafts in two months.and also that I was rehersing with my actors and trying out various versions of scenes and trying to work out the structure for 2 month .during this period I wrote 7 treatments.
And for rewriting I xeroxed .and made modifications by cutting and pasting with sissors ang gluestick. I know this will sound insane. But working in an organic way was much faster.
There are many too many great writers who write long hand the fist that comes to mind is shakespeare.chaplin.woody allen.and all the great writers before the advent of final draft.
Samuele on 03.3.13 @ 1:30PM
Hi I'm studino screenwriting, the journey, the characters ect. Could you pelase Give me some advices about writing a short movie? Thanks Samuele
Christopher Boone on 03.3.13 @ 3:41PM
Keep it short :) Specifically, I'd say aim for 7-12 minutes if festivals are your target audience. Less than 7 minutes for web (probably between 3-5 minutes is optimal). You can use the one page per minute rule of thumb, but realize that dialogue shoots faster than action blocks. And make sure your story has a beginning, middle and end. Just because it's short doesn't mean it shouldn't have a beginning, middle and end. I've seen plenty of short films that weren't stories, they were concepts because they didn't have a beginning, middle and end.
Also, many successful shorts have a reveal at the end, something that shouldn't be telegraphed from the beginning. It can be a twist, but at least a new insight into the story that just took place during the previous few minutes is usually very effective.
Finally, you can do any genre as a short, but comedies tend to work well because you can set up and pay off jokes quickly. Dramas are hard to keep short. Short dramas tend to stretch to the 15-20 minute range because they usually require more time for set up. Oh, and just because it's a short script doesn't mean it's easy to write.
Those are my thoughts on writing a short film script. Good luck.
Samuele on 03.4.13 @ 1:58AM
Thanks a lot.
Cory Ewing on 03.5.13 @ 12:54AM
I know you commented on wring a short script above, however, I would be interested in a post about the subject. I think people are less intimidated of writing a short script, well because it is shorter. But, as you commented above just because it is shorter does not mean it is easier to write. I think a post on writing a short movie would generate quite a bit of traffic because their is not nearly enough good information on the subject.
Luciano on 03.4.13 @ 10:21AM
Great post and very inspiring!
I'm finally making the leap that I've always wanted to since I was a kid into screenwriting but don't know much about the planning process before. Do you have any tips on how lay out the "beats" on index cards? What types of questions would you be answering on each? Any insight on the planning/outline process would be extremely helpful!!
abhishek krishnakan on 03.4.13 @ 11:57AM
Hi Luciano..Read save the cat for use of index card ..not a great screenwriting guide but the chapter on index cards and use of board is awesome . If you want to make a carrier in screenplay I would suggest you buy syd field all 4 books and robert macee story. First read syd field then macee.
Macee is a bit on advance level.
Other great screen writing books are.
Thousands faces of hero
Dramatica ….this is all together a new take . Not recomeended for beginners
Read as many books on screenplay . Read as many screenplays as you can and then
Write from your heart ..principles .rules .templates or what ever you choose to call them are to guide you not to rule you
Luciano on 03.5.13 @ 11:21AM
Thanks abish!
David Morring on 03.7.13 @ 5:15PM
I've started writing screenplays for short films and really appreciate seeing another writer's approach to the process. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to learning more.
Pierre Samuel Rioux on 03.8.13 @ 4:06PM
I do documentaries and i like to do some feature film now.
Remember AMÉLIE a film Jean-Pierre Jeunet and later MICMAC
or THE FIFTH ELEMENT by Luc Besson or the TAXI'S films from him also and Arthur and the Minimoy.
and from Danny Boon WELCOME TO THE STICKS
What have all those filmmaker in common ; Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Luc Besson,Danny Boon all ( French ) we could ad Tim Burton in UK it's the way they build the film characters those are in a new kind of tendency. I normally do not like the work of Woody Allen but he made Midnight in Parish a unexpected story very well done a great scrip.
So working with actor it's not the same…so i find a group involving in Actor coaching once a mount in Montreal Quebec we work all day to improve your work. Last meting we have 3 filmmaker, one writer, 2 signer,one DOP. and all the majority theater comedian we are near 35 to 40 each mount. All the work it's made to improve the comedian work or the signer by searching the storytelling.
It's a lot of director work.But what a filmmaker do there he learn and see how to deal with comedian same for a writer. The way it's work you have 2 different price to assist First as a Participant and as no participant.After the first meeting with them i decided to try some of the thing i learn there and my son need to do a Job interview in a big corporation General Electric so me and my wife we coach him and made a fake interview and my son get the job… so the next mount i said to the teacher what i did and he was very proud i try this.
No matter what we do it's all the time storytelling. So Christopher you all ready have a writer name.
Jake on 03.19.13 @ 6:53PM
My approach is just write… a lot. I've written three, screenplays: two feature length and one short in about 2 months (and I think I'm halfway through a third feature) My process is: Think of a bad-ass concept, then think of a bad-ass ending… and get from the beginning to the end as fast as you can…putting everything your thinking and feeling into the script… and every plot hole you encounter becomes addressed with a new scene or character action… I recommend googling Quentin Tarantino's 1994-95 interview with Charlie Rose… and what he says about the writing process. Not all of the writing will be stellar… but you will feel productive and each script gets better than the one before.
Gino on 04.4.13 @ 2:37PM
I'm with Jack, I will think about the story for a few days, or weeks. I will then sit down, and just start to type. I write as much as I can, and then go back elaborate, or expand. After my first draft i ask for a few friends comments, and so on.I have no structure to the way I work.

Boston College Vs. Miami Baseball: How To Watch This Weekend's ACC Opener
Senior John Leonard threw 6.0 innings and allowed five runs on seven hits in the loss. The Eagles (2-4) have the week off before facing Bethune-Cookman on Friday in Daytona Beach (spring break in Daytona!)
The Eagles took a 3-3 tie midway into the seventh before the Gators scored six unanswered to win 9-3. BC (2-3) takes on the Red Sox in its annual exhibition game at 1 PM today.
The Eagles couldn't get anything going offensively, as Gators pitchers Brian Johnson (6.0 innings) and Steve Rodriguez (3.0) each allowed just 1 hit. The series continues today at 5 PM.
John Leonard tosses 5 scoreless innings as the Eagles beat the Golden Eagles 6-1. The baseball team next takes on No. 1 ranked Florida on Thursday in Gainesville.
What would be the Boston College rival's equivalent of the Toomer's Corner tree poisoning incident? Is there one?
The 2011 Boston College baseball campaign begins a week from today down in Myrtle Beach. The Eagles will be on the road for the season's first 20 games.

Live Well scheme to help elderly people Potters Bar
Updated 12:50pm Monday 3rd February 2014 in News
The launch of a project to help older people in Potters Bar become more active in the community attracted almost fifty people.
Live Well, a scheme established by Community Action Hertsmere to help older people socialise, become more independent and involved in the community was launched at Farriers Hall on Friday, January 31.
The eighteen-month project, which is funded by the People's Health Trust, is aimed at people over 50 living in the Hillside and Kenilworth wards in Borehamwood.
Stalls from Hertfordshire Adult and Family Learning Service (HAFL), Hertsmere Borough Watch, Age UK and Hertsmere Leisure provided visitors with snacks and information about their work and events for over 50s.
Live Well project manager Joy Nicholl said: "We have had a brilliant turnout today. The aim of this project is to help people become more active, physically and mentally and reduce isolation in older people.
"We want to get back to the community spirit we used to have."
Hertsmere Mayor Councillor Paul Morris said: "Judging by the number of people that have turned up today, I would say it has been a great success. It's really helpful for people to see what is on offer.
"There is a multitude of things to do but people do not always realise what is available in the community."
Potters Bar residents are also invited to attend the group's coffee, cakes and time to talk events, which take place in Farriers Hall every Monday at 1pm from February 3, except February 10 and 17.

7DII having more pro features. ?

No pop up flash.
7DII having more pro features. ?
Such as ?
That puts me back to square one of keeping an eye peeled for a real good deal on a 6D... For my own needs I can't see spending 2200 on an aps-c 7D mkII, though I expect a lot of folks will.
Nikon suffered from that until some younger blood finally got to the top. The trouble is, they also need to make a profit. Innovative ideas do not keep a company in business if they don't turn a profit.
Nikon is building a giant plant in Laos to open this fall, apparently hoping to ultimately get their costs down. They also (I think) understand that the warmer weather means more floods and they need to have plan(t) B. I hope it works out for them, lower prices are certainly welcome, and Canon is in the drivers seat right now as far as cost of production is concerned. They drop prices and still make a nice profit.
WOW, Canon still at least 2 years shy of the Nikon D800 sensor ...
Confirms what I thought all along.
Geriatric ward really missed the boat big time.
How many years did Canon have a 'prosumer' 21 MP FF camera while Nikon's offering in that space had 12 MP?
And after 4.5 years Canon has reduced the number of MP they had in that camera from 21 to 18, falling behind Nikon.
How many megapixels does the D4 have?
D4 is not the style of camera being referred to here, it is the 5D2/6D/D700/D600.
Ok, so which of the 5D2 or 6D has 18 mp then?
Hint: Two different prototypes from Canon and a prototype from Nikon (maybe named D4X) is out for testing in the field.
The 7D Mark II is a big step away from a possible introduced 70D.
My advice: Wait until the 7D Mark II is releasend and then decide if you want go FF from APS-C. If you compare the 7D Mark II prototype with the 6D. Well ...

By Times Staff
Gloucester Daily Times
---- —
Luckily for all of us, Rockport food blogger Heather Atwood accidentally developed this delicious drink, while browsing the grocery store isles. Her inspiration was Morello cherries.
Atwood's recipe for this Cherry Prosecco Cocktail, a rose-colored mimosa, is a unique and delicious refreshment. Instead of Champagne, Prosecco is used, and in place of orange juice, Morello cherry juice.
The combination of sparkling wine, cherry juice and sugar has a perfect flavor.
Prosecco is the name of Italy's delightful sparkling wine and the name of the white grape that is used to produce this wine. Prosecco grapes originate in northeast Italy's Veneto region.
Morello cherries are more tart, have more beta-carotene and are generally more nutritious than sweet cherries. Studies have linked beta-carotene to cancer prevention.
The morello cherries create a certain tartness in this cocktail that is balanced by the sugar added to the glass as well as garnishing the rim. The sugar cubes that are placed in the glass have been dipped in the cherry juice for some additional flavor.
Perfect for a special day, such as Mother's Day, or as an alternative to a mimosa, this beverage is simple and elegant.
"This is a drink you can have anytime of year," Atwood explains.
Cherry Prosecco Cocktail
For Glass Rim:
3 tablespoons super fine sugar
2 tablespoons of morello cherry juice
For Cocktail:
3 to 5 ounces of Prosecco
2 tablespoons of morello cherry juice
1 whole confectioners sugar cube
1. Dip the rim of the glass or flute in the cherry juice. Then dip it in the super fine sugar to create a garnish on top of the glass.
2. Fill the glass with 3 to 5 ounces of Prosecco.
3. Add in 2 tablespoons of cherry juice to the glass.
4. Dip a sugar cube in the cherry juice until it absorbs the liquid.
5. Place the sugar cube in the glass right before serving.

#BecauseFutbol Parallels Hyundai Customer Loyalty and Futbol Fan Passion
FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., June 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- As the world suits up for the largest sporting event this year, Hyundai kicks off the 2014 FIFA World Cup with a complete 360° integrated marketing platform that celebrates fan passion. Two all-new in-game 30-second spots featuring the redesigned 2015 Sonata will join digital, social, CRM, and retail executions engaging and inspiring audiences. The spots will air on ESPN and Univision as part of Hyundai's exclusive whistle-to-whistle automotive advertising sponsorship of the World Cup series broadcasts on the networks. 2014 marks Hyundai's fourth consecutive year since 2002 as the official vehicle sponsor of the World Cup.
This year's creative theme celebrating fan passion is a nod to what being a true fan really means. Hyundai's ranking as No. 1 in customer loyalty for the fifth consecutive year, according to research consultancy, Brand Keys, served as the creative inspiration. The all-new spots highlight the emotional love of the game and aim to inspire fans with two simple words – "#BecauseFutbol." Creative was developed by Hyundai's agency of record, INNOCEAN USA.
"Boom," a 30-second spot, celebrates fan passion as a powerful force shedding light on the world-wide phenomenon of baby booms. The ad illustrates how a single win can literally create a generation – "#BecauseFutbol."
"Avoidance," a 30-second spot, follows a man on his emotional journey home to watch a game he's recorded. He goes to great lengths to avoid spoilers throughout the day, only to be foiled by an unexpected source. Viewers sympathize with the man – "#BecauseFutbol."
"Soccer fans are more than just supporters of the game – they are die hard, loyal fanatics for their teams and countries," said Steve Shannon, vice president, Marketing, Hyundai Motor America. "As the industry leader in customer loyalty, Hyundai knows a thing or two about passion. This year's World Cup campaign shows what being a 'true' fan really means; and how for 30 days people come together, lives change, emotions rise and unexpected moments happen."
The all-new 2015 Sonata offers a more refined look through the new Fluidic Sculpture 2.0 design language, stiffer body structure, better ride quality, reduced noise, vibration and harshness and advanced safety and convenience features. Sonata truly democratizes the premium design and convenient technology of the Genesis sedan for the mid-size sedan class.
"Hyundai chose to focus on the fans, and the passion Hyundai shares with them for the sport of Futbol," said Greg Braun, executive creative director, INNOCEAN USA. "The statement, 'Because Futbol' was the perfect summation of the phenomenons that passion creates."
"#BecauseFutbol" extends beyond the big screen as Hyundai invites fans to share their passion for the game and connect with other fans around the globe digitally at BecauseFutbol.com. Built on the Tumblr platform, BecauseFutbol.com connects, inspires and engages fans with unique content and tools developed by dozens of leading Tumblr artists and content creators. Elevating the artistic expression and fan passion shared on BecauseFutbol.com, for the first time ever, customized content created by the Tumblr artists will be featured on the Times Square Billboard in New York during the days leading up to the World Cup.

ESTERO: Seeing orange means businesses along the US-41 widening project in Estero are seeing red.
Crews continue to add two lanes to the roadway in south Lee County
But businesses are feeling the economic impact, just months into the two-year-long project.
"Just the length of time scares me," said Jim Ridinger, owner of Greenway Landscape Supply.
It's been about two months since the $14.2 million project began and already Ridinger isn't happy.
"Struggle as it is with everything going on right now, and I think it's a tough time to be starting a road project," he said.
But it's well on its way.
Currently, road crews are clearing out the median from Corkscrew Road to San Carlos Boulevard in preparation for the widening before paving begins.
"They're coning off a lot of sections of the road on 41, and they are shutting down to one lane, and I think it boils down that people just don't want to sit there in traffic," Ridinger said.
The construction is not only putting traffic to a halt but Ridinger's landscaping business as well.
He's seen sales decrease from $30,000 to $12,000 per week since the project began.
"Hope it goes quick, and I hope it doesn't kill us," he said.
And it could get worse for businesses like Paw-Radise, a pet bakery in Estero.
Not only is the business feeling the effects of construction, but owner Michael Major says he's been told he may have to remove his sign.
"Business with no sign is a sign of no business," he said.
Like many of the businesses up and down US-41 Major resorts to being seen, especially in a field of orange.
"Hopefully they put detour signs where they can come in here, and I guess we'll have to see how that goes and how hurtful it's gonna be," he said.
With sales already hurting, however, Major says there isn't much he can look forward to.
"What's it gonna be like next season, and how bad are the roads gonna be torn up," he said.
All he can do is wait until completion in the summer 2013.

A Time Warp in Venice, Courtesy of Prada-------
If Prada's Wes Anderson and Roman Coppola-directed Candy films are any indication, Mrs. Prada is an expert in cultural cross-pollination. So, naturally, the designer's Fondazione Prada will be hosting an exhibition at the fifty-fifth Venice Biennale, which kicks off June 1. But don't expect a Met-esque fashion venture. Instead, Prada will present When Attitudes Become Form: Bern 1969/Venice 2013—a to-a-tee re-creation of a groundbreaking show held in Bern, Switzerland, in 1969. The foundation plans to bring together works from the original installation (above), which featured icons such as Sol LeWitt, Richard Serra, Eva Hesse, Claes Oldenburg, and Carl Andre. And because it's Prada, the whole thing will be set in the foundation's eighteenth century palace, Ca' Corner della Regina. Vintage conceptual art in Prada's Italian mini-castle? We say bring on the Biennale.
When Attitudes Become Form: Bern 1969/Venice 2013will be on view at the Ca' Corner della Regina, in Venice, from June 1 through November 24.

We had a wonderful time.The choice of food in the Peninsular restaurant was outstanding(up to 5 courses).Our waiters Nichil & Sachin attended to our every need,always with a smile on their faces.On our last night The head waiter organized several others to gather round our table,to sing Congratulations,as we were celebrating our %0th wedding anniversary(but not until 23rd of March)
If you didn't want to eat in your allotted restaurant,as there was a dress code each evening,then you could eat at one of the self service restaurants.The choice of food in these was excellent too.During the day we used these for breakfasts & lunches.
The entrtainment in the evening was excellent with a choice of venues.The playhouse theatre put on the big shows,but you could watch other entertainers in the Manhattern, Malibar,etc.Dancere were accommodated in the Atrium,with professional instuctors to help.
If it got too hot on deck,there were always top films being shown during the day in one of the air conditionred venues,as well as the huge screen,at the end of one of the swimming pools.
The islands visited were all a bit different,with a choice of trips round with one of the numerous taxi drivers,or to one of the beautiful beeches
All in all,this is a wonderful choice of ship which I would recommend to anyone. February/March is probably best for people in our age group.
Well done P&O for a magnificent time

North Stonington — Three masked men robbed about $100 in petty cash from the Cedar Park Inn & Whirlpool Suites at routes 2 and 184 early Saturday morning after they were unable to open a safe, according to state police.
The three men, who were wearing hooded sweatshirts and masks, entered the front office and confronted a clerk at 1:41 a.m. One appeared to be holding a pistol, according to a police report, and ordered the clerk into a back room where the safe was located.
After an unsuccessful attempt to open the safe, the trio left with only the money stolen out of petty cash. No description of the men or their vehicle was available and a police dog was unsuccessful in tracking them. The incident is under investigation.
