England hooker Dylan Hartley is hoping he will be given a chance to go head to head with Rory Best on Sunday in his bid for British and Irish Lions Test selection.
Hartley started England's Six Nations opener against Scotland last week from the bench having recently returned from injury and is pushing for a recall into the run-on XV for this Sunday's clash with Ireland in Dublin.
The Northampton hooker would relish the opportunity to lock horn with Lions favourite Best, but he must first get picked ahead of Tom Youngs, who is emerging as another potential candidate for Warren Gatland's team.
"The Lions is like a big bonus isn't it? It's something to work for," said Hartley.
"We have a big chance with England as well. We'd all love to lift the trophy. That in itself is pretty exciting.
"The Six Nations is your stage to perform. Every week it's your rival (you are up against) - even Tom here with England. I understand that.
"I understand that I've got seven weeks to give myself a good crack at it. I've got my head round that and I'm highly motivated.
"I have played against Rory Best once this year for Northampton against Ulster. He is a key man in their team.
"They have got plenty of class throughout and he is key to their success up front."
England are now the bookmakers' favourites for the Six Nations title but Hartley remembers all to well the defeat on their last trip to Dublin that ended hopes of Grand Slam.
"You can take points from that experience and there are other players in the squad who experienced that. All we can do is share that with the current crop," said the 26-year-old.
"It was the intensity which stood out. I remember the first scrum of the game and we got rolled, they got a big shunt on and the crowd goes wild. I remember my first carry of the game and I got held in the choke tackle, ball turned over.
"If you look at the way they started the game against Wales at the weekend, they put a big emphasis on that. We need to front up emotionally. You need to be right in the head."
Hartley and Best came to blows when they met in that Heineken Cup fixture at Franklin's Gardens, with the England hooker receiving a two week ban after losing his cool. He was also banned for eight weeks following last year's game against Ireland, after being found to have bitten Stephen Ferris on the hand.
Hartley has been spoken to by the England management of his discipline and he is confident he can keep his cool in the Irish capital.
"The last one [ban] was down to frustration, the team not playing well, myself not playing well and not thinking and just reacting," said Hartley.
"It is a thinking process. I feel like I am in control.
"If anyone is (targeting me) it is short-sighted because as soon as you focus your energies on someone else you are not concentrating on yourself."

By JOSEPH WHITE
AP Sports Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - Bryce Harper tried batting with gloves and without gloves. He wore red-tinted contact lenses, both in the field and at the plate, to help ward off the dreaded "Sun Monster."
He went 0 for 5.
At least his misery had company. His Washington Nationals went 0 for 8 with runners in scoring position and left 11 runners on base. Jayson Werth, Adam LaRoche and Michael Morse were among those who also failed to deliver.
The nation's capital waited 79 years to host a postseason game. It's still waiting for one in which its team actually scores. The Nationals were shut out 8-0 Wednesday by the St. Louis Cardinals, falling behind 2-1 in the best-of-five NL division series after a pair of big-time shellackings by the defending champions.
The season ends if Washington doesn't win Thursday, when Ross Detwiler faces Kyle Lohse in Game 4.
"It's going to be tough to score if you don't hit," Werth said. "But I believe in this team, I believe in these guys. We've been here all year. Over a 162-game season, we were the best team in baseball. I still feel that way."
Washington starter Edwin Jackson didn't stand a chance in the head-to-head matchup against Chris Carpenter, who was his usual winning postseason self despite missing almost the entire regular season due to a nerve problem that required surgery. Taking the mound for only the fourth time this year, Carpenter allowed seven hits and walked two across his 5 2-3 innings to improve to 10-2 over his career in the postseason. He kept letting men on base, but he never let them get to home plate.
"He made pitches when he needed to," Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman said. "It's easy to sit here and say we need to get big hits, but when you have a guy like that making pitches, he's not just letting you get hits."
Jackson helped the Cardinals win a World Series title a year ago, but his line Wednesday _ five innings, eight hits, four runs _ no doubt had the Nationals Park-record 45,017 red-wearing, towel-twirling fans pining for Stephen Strasburg, the ace whom the Nationals brass shut down early this season as a precaution in his return from Tommy John surgery.
"I didn't feel like I was out of rhythm. I didn't feel like I couldn't throw strikes," said Jackson, whose biggest mistake was a fastball deposited by rookie Pete Kozma in the first row beyond left field for a three-run homer in the second inning. "I just missed across the plate with a couple of balls, and it cost me."
But Strasburg could have made a difference in the outcome only if his team could have produced a run. For that matter, the Nationals have been outscored 22-7 in the series.
Harper's woeful day dropped him to 1 for 15 in the series. The teen All-Star went to the plate with an ash bat and no gloves in the first inning and flied out to right. He said the tinted contact lenses helped him fight off the glare in center field on a sunny day _ he recently coined the phrase "Sun Monster" to describe the aggravating orb _ but they didn't do much for his batting average.
But don't expect him to show any frustration over it.
"I felt good today, just missing pitches and having good ABs, and nothing I can do," he said. "I just missed a couple."
There were plenty of others who just missed. Morse came up in the fifth with the bases loaded and two out. He flied to right. Werth was at the plate in the sixth with two on against hard-throwing reliever Trevor Rosenthal and got fooled by an offspeed pitch, fouling out to the first baseman.
"He threw a good hook. I haven't seen that pitch from him yet," Werth said. "I'd like to just foul that ball off, but it stayed in the yard. That was the difference in the at-bat."
Not since the original Senators lost to the New York Giants in the 1933 World Series had big league baseball stretched past the regular season in Washington. Back then, of course, there was no MLB Network in HD to carry a game the way there was Wednesday; indeed, television itself was in its infancy, period. And spectators in attendance way back then could not enjoy a beer at the ballpark, because prohibition wasn't repealed until a couple of months later.

Neocutis Customer ReviewsA Perfect Serum - 9/30/2014 6:49:54 AM I've been using this Neocutis product for 8 months and have definitely noticed a difference in the texture of my skin. It's a little pricey but truly worth it.great Anti-oxidant - 9/13/2014 9:08:38 PM Wakes up my skin in the AM. Getting rid of free radicals first thing is a perfect way to start the day!great cleanser - 8/22/2014 5:34:41 AM love how this cleanser keeps the skin clean yet not overdrying!Fountain of youth for your eyes - 8/1/2014 10:59:16 PM Let me start by saying I love the Neocutis line. I am so happy skinstore decided to carry it. I have tried several Neocutis products, including the original Lumiere. Even though I love the original and saw amazing results, I love the Riche version more. It's more moisturizing and stays there hydrating your eyes all day. It de puffs, lightens under eye darkness, and really shines at filling in wrinkles with collagen boosting PSP growth factors. The entire PSP line is very healing too. This and the Bio cream and Gel can be used post laser and skin procedures without any irritation and dramatically speeds up recovery and healing. I highly recommend this version if you want extra moisture. I also believe less goes a longer way in this Richer version. Product should last longer. I have tried skin medica's tns eye and the Lumiere beats it hands down in results. They speak for itself. Also try Neocutis PSP Bio Cream and/or PSP Bioserum, which is my favorite combo.great product - 7/22/2014 10:34:53 AM i have used many products and this is at the top of performance . visible results immediately.So far best eye product brand I've tried - 5/25/2014 4:15:05 PM I have been actually using Neocutis Lumiere Bio Restorative Riche eye cream for a couple of years and decided I would give this one a try. It is about $10.00 price difference. I found that I actually prefer the Riche for my mature 57 yr under eyes. Although this regular Bio Restorative Cream is good, the Bio Restorative Riche eye cream seems to hydrate/moisturize under my eyes better. I will be going back to that after I finish this bottle.Alternative or Addition to TNS?! - 5/24/2014 8:33:20 PM Ive actually used both these products over the years, but one thing i will add about Neocutis' PSP serum, is that it is backed by scientific studies. It consists of a different source and blend of human growth factors than Skinmedica's TNS. Given this knowledge, if one has the money, I would use both Skinmedica TNS and The Neocutis PSP serum in conjunction. Sort of covers all the bases. Both get results for sure, but I think both products have advantages that would make your skin super amazing if used together. Perhaps TNS mornings and Neocutis PSP at night. I have gotten results with both products, but will be using both now. I believe the Neocutis version will last longer though if you have to pick just one. I must say these growth factors are an excelent alternative to retinol. if you can tolerate retinol, use this in conjunction with the retinol to speed up the healing and recovery that the retinol inflicts for cell turnover.Excellent cream! - 5/16/2014 9:32:35 PM I wanted a very hydrating cream with the PSP, this is light weight and leaves your skin feeling wonderful! Love this product! I use Lumiere also and my fine lines around my eyes are gone, give it a few months to see difference. This are the best products in the market for wrinkles, pores and overall youth ness of the skin.My New Go-To day cream - 5/3/2014 10:27:29 AM I was familiar with the Neocutis line, as I use the Lumiere eye cream. When I saw the Journee day cream, I did not hesitate to order it. I love the look and feel of this cream on my face. The slight tint gives my skin an irridescent glow. There is no fragrance, which is a huge plus for my sensitive skin. SPF is a must in Arizona. I know I'm using the right product when I start getting compliments on my skin, and friends asking what I'm using. I'm pushing 60, so that is huge. Love this cream!good but expensive - 5/2/2014 7:36:39 AM I like this product and I know professional skin care people who love it. It goes on really well. Not so sure about the whole PSP thing, but it's a nice moisturizer. They recently changed the packaging which causes some of the product to get stuck in the spout. When it comes out, some of it is dried up and has to be thrown out. I've seen other reviews about this same issue. I wish they would fix it.
Learn More About Neocutis
For many men and women, signs of aging are not just indications that the skin is transitioning through the changes that accompany aging. Many people age before their time due to the destructive effects of free radicals found in ultraviolet energy and impurities in the environment. In this way, signs of aging are often signs of damage, signaling that the cells that make up the tissue have been weakened and are no longer producing the materials needed to maintain skin strength and elasticity at a fast enough rate to maintain the appearance of the complexion.
Neocutis skincare products address signs of damage, not just by acting on the surface skin to reduce their appearance. The PSP complex developed by the Swiss researchers at the brand actually works on the underlying source of the damage. The Processed Skin Proteins help to encourage cellular rejuvenation, revitalizing damaged cells, so that they can once more begin to function optimally. Over time, this leads to gains in skin elasticity and strength, which make existing lines less noticeable and the complexion more resistant in the future.
PSP isn't the only breakthrough ingredient complex created by the scientists at Neocutis. The brand has also engineered ROSAPLEX, a molecule that helps to promote a more even skin tone and has optimized the delivery of many key ingredients like hyaluronic acid to create products that offer unparalleled benefits for the skin. Shop the Neocutis collection today to find formulas to help you reveal new skin.

she's adorable. crikey.ReplyDelete
Yup, the real life fashionable friends are the most inspiring. The mags and catalogues I find are aspirational - does anyone live like the day-to-day with errands to run and paid work to go to and kids to run after? But the ones you know in real life who are doing all of the above - priceless!ReplyDelete
I have a few friends who are masters at finding gems in thrift shops. I look and all I find is "ick" - they look and find perfection.
I totally agree with this. I picked up a fashion magazine recently and wasn't inspired at all! The trends just didn't feel right for my lifestyle (busy, hot, lugging my kid around, haha). I love these colors, that orange is amazing, and the bag is super cute too. ;) Do more fashionable friends posts!ReplyDelete
sheesh. girl got style.ReplyDelete
She's so pretty. And dude, you're photography on this post is stunning! I'm so impressed with these shots, {and I very, very rarely say that}!ReplyDeleteReplies
Mine is my daughter @ www.lindsaysuejohnson.com She has a great sense of style!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 2, 2012 at 6:17 PM
I would have to say my daughter!:) I LOVE her style:) She does the same thing as your friend...she mixes & matches good thrift store finds and different colors/patterns with a sprinkle of luck! I love it!:) She is not afraid what others think. She has her own unique style and I love her for it!:) Somehow she pulls it off each and every time she walks out the door!:)ReplyDelete
Ooooh wow, I love her bright pink shoes!! My girlfriend Erin back home (I've moved from Vancouver to Australia, so "back home" is Vancouver) is my girlfriend with amazing style, right down to being able to pull off asymmetrical hair cuts!ReplyDelete
her styling is just perfect. some people are just gifted to know exactly how to pair and what to wear. i love it!ReplyDelete
I purposefully style myself to not follow trends, I only buy clothes I absolutely love, most of my stuff are finds from the thrift stores, resale shops and sale racks of Anthropologie. Because I shop thrift, I feel shy telling my friends where I get my stuff, I usually say something like "I've had it forever" lol!ReplyDelete
I loved it!!!ReplyDelete
I just posted the amazing video Love sucks vs Love rocks and summer accessories !!!
check it out
I have a pair of pants exactly like that except in blue! Got them at Target for $20 and I'm so in love with them.ReplyDelete
I really like her white blazer, I've been looking for one for a while now and have had no luck at local thrift stores. I'd have better luck at Zara or Madewell, but, like you, I don't want to look cookie cutter.

Who doesn't love a fashion dog? We had Donatella and her fabulous pooch Audrey on the cover of our big fashion issue and the poodles on the runway at Mulberry were one of our London Fashion Week highlights. The latest doggy fashion news comes from ACNE, as they have teamed up with legendary artist William Wegman to create seven shots of Weimaraner dogs wearing Resort 2013, Womens Spring Summer 2013 and Mens Spring Summer 2013.
William Wegman is best known for his photographs of his Weimaraner dogs, as he started shooting his pups back in the 1970s when his first Weimaraner, Man Ray, kept getting in the way of the shots. He then started experimenting, wrapping the pooches in fabric and giving them each their own character. He has put his dogs in pink wigs and zebra sunnies, had them playing a guitar and drowned in oversized coats.
For the ACNE project Wegmen styled the dogs in an oversized Spring 2013 skirt, mens boater hats and shirts and jackets in the Resort currency print. How very fash-ion. The creative director Jonny Johansson said: 'I'm a big fan of William Wegman's work, its beauty, witty humour and intelligence but also what it says about identity and culture. I always thought it would be interesting to work on a project together. The outcome is beyond all expectation.'
A Weimaraner in Acne Spring 2013
Doggies are now the latest it-models, as Harvey Nichols brought a new meaning to the term 'doggy bag' using Spud, Pepper and Dozer, three fabulously turned out hounds, to model a Philip Lim, a Sophie Hulme and a Marc by Marc Jacobs bag. Poodles walked the runway at Mulberry at London Fashion Week, while dogs were THE accessory at Agi & Sam at the London Collections Men. Models watch out, at this rate pets will steal all the big ad campaigns.
So what is with this doggy obsession? Well it probably has something to do with designers and their love of their doggies - as Tom Ford, Jonathon Saunders and Roberto Cavalli are all proud dog owners. Donatella Versace told Grazia in our Big Fashion Issue that her Jack Russell Audrey is her best friend and her boss and stated that 'Audrey is not a dog.' Of course Audrey is no ordinary dog as she dresses ear to tail in Versace and sleeps in a leopard print bed.
Take a look through the gallery above to see fashion's most fabulous pups...

I use a Canon 40d, with PSE9 and a Sony Vaio monitor + Epsom glossy paper. I have checked that my colour management is turned off on the R3000, and selected in PSE9.

You'll be able to see everything as soon as you have access. Thanks for your patience. :)
My brother gave me CS3 extended when he bought CSE4, I find that I like CS3 better than PSE7, I hate that black interface and PSE4 which I also have has a tendency to freeze.
I'm probably intermediate to advanced but starting from scratch builds a good foundation.
I hope we will have some kind of interaction between students. Sharing w others sometimes makes the "bulb" light up. lol

I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but... I have Photoshop CS and I'm thinking of upgrading. Is there a big difference from CS to CS4?
There is quite a difference. It's much more user friendly. A few of the new things include clone source palette, nondestructive smart filters, improved brightness/contrast and vanishing point, refine edges feature, quick selection tool, improved black and white filter, adjustment and mask panels...there are so many. It's definitely worth the upgrade if you are going to take the time to learn about it. :)
I am using CS2. But one of these days I will upgrade,,lol
Can't wait for the class to start!
I am ready to start...been counting down the days!
Now all I need to know is....where can I download the lessons???

To make backing up as simple as possible for our busy business customers, Carbonite manages your private encryption key by default so that you only have to remember your user name and password.
But we understand that different industries have different needs, and for those in the medical field, HIPAA requirements play a significant role in devising backup plans. To help our customers with their compliance efforts, Windows users have the option to manage their own private encryption keys. Managing your own private encryption key adds an extra layer of privacy and, because only you have the required key, it means that Carbonite cannot access your backup.
If you're a small business who needs to adhere to HIPAA's privacy standards, here are some tips to ensure the encryption key you manage is safe and accessible to you:
Both Business and Home users can rest assured that their data and backup is secure and encrypted even if you aren't managing your own key. But for those businesses that need to adhere to HIPAA's privacy rules, it can help in your efforts to comply! Not sure if managing your key is right for your business? Give our knowledgeable sales team a call. They're always here to help!

I presented last week at Xconomy's BIG DATA Forum. It wasn't until after I accepted that I realized I didn't know what the term big data actually means. So I turned to Wikipedia to find out. According to Wikipedia, "The term big data is a buzzword, and is frequently misused to mean any form of large-scale data or information processing." Well, that explains why I was invited to speak. "Large-scale data" is Carbonite in a nutshell. I wouldn't use the term "big data" for Carbonite. We're more like "Extremely Large Data" or "gigundous amounts of data."
Big data is far from a new idea, of course. Regression analysis, one of the first mathematical treatments of data sets, was described by the mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss in the early 1800s. Back in the early 1990s, I was CEO of a company in Cambridge called Pilot Software and we did what at that time was called Data Mining. Our flagship product was a multidimensional database that was especially good at slicing and dicing very large transactional databases looking for patterns and anomalies. It was used by companies like McDonald's and JCPenney to uncover nuggets of useful management information in the vast quantities transactional data produced by their cash registers. There are many other buzzwords that have come and gone as well, including business intelligence, data analytics, decision support, data dredging and so on.
So I had to ask myself, what's makes big data different from the "data mining" I was doing more than a decade ago. As far as I can tell, it's mostly a matter of quantity, with data now coming from all kinds of devices and places, not just cash registers.
So, just why does big data warrant a new buzzword? I can think of three reasons: 1) it's probably harder to raise venture capital for a data mining company these days, 2) maybe it helps IT professionals justify bigger budgets, and 3) of course, how could you organize a successful conference without a new buzzword? ;)
Personally, I appreciate that Google can use big data to serve up an ad for something I might actually find interesting or that Netflix knows that I might prefer Steven Hawking to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. But I'd be cautious about all the hype about big data because it's is no substitute for judgment. Judgment is actually the ultimate form of big data. You are taking a lifetime of experiences and applying them in a very sophisticated way to predict what's going to happen in the future. For example, with all the data that's available in the financial markets, with computers making millisecond high velocity trades, MIT-trained physicists and mathematicians laboring away in the bowels of Goldman Sachs, there is still no way to replace a Peter Lynch or a Warren Buffet.
The stuff we do with computers is trivial by comparison. This morning when I was eating breakfast, my cat leapt a good six feet from the sink to the table and landed perfectly right between my newspaper and the cereal bowl. I thought, wow, now that's big data at work. Think of the accumulated experience and judgment that it took to pull that off. Think of the enormous quantity of visual data, the 3D image processing, the billions of neurons, the precise muscle control, the knowledge that if you land on the newspaper it's going to slide, and the knowledge that if you land on my cereal bowl you're going to get whacked. That's big data and it's humbling.
So that brought me back to what was I doing talking about big data? Is Carbonite really big data or just 'a lot of data'? Well, according to another definition I found on the web, "Big data involves the extraction of useful insight from volumes of data so large that traditional database tools cannot handle the workload." Well, we would certainly qualify on to "too large for traditional database" front. In fact, we get over 300 million new files every day. And we add around a petabyte of storage every couple of weeks. I doubt that very many companies in New England have more data than Carbonite.
But as for the "insights," well, the whole idea in backup is you have this sacred trust with your customers that you're not supposed to know anything about them. And you're certainly not supposed to be able to glean any kind of insights from the contents of their computers. To break that sacred trust would probably spell doom in our business. We spend tens of millions a year on advertising to create a trusted brand. What does "trusted" brand mean? It means your data is private. Confidential. Secure. Nobody gets to look at it for any reason. We bend over backwards to encrypt at every step of the process. There are zero unencrypted customer files in our data centers. We hire white-hat hackers to try to compromise our security. We have PhDs on our team whose sole job is to prevent people from extracting insights from our customer's data. So just what do we do with all that data? We store it and give it back to our customers when they want it. That's it.
The one thing we may have in common with big data is that it takes very specialized technology just to deal with the volumes. Commercial databases and file systems aren't designed to work at this scale. I remember when we were first starting out we stored backed up files using Window's NTFS file system. When we got to about 500 million files, things got trickier. So we called Microsoft and they asked "How many files do you have?" We told them "about 500 million." There was a good 10 seconds of silence on the other end of the line. "Uh, NTFS wasn't really designed to handle that many files." Since then we have backed up over 200 billion files and keeping track of all of them and insuring that none of them are corrupted takes very specialized technology. Especially when you consider that it has to be done very inexpensively because we offer unlimited backup for $59 per year.
And all this new data comes salted with some interesting new privacy issues. While we most definitely don't want to know anything about the data on our customers' computers, we do know some things that help us provide a better service WITHOUT violating the sacred trust between us and our users. For example, we can suggest tips and user hints based on the type of computer or mobile devices our customers are using Carbonite with.
But, as I think about big data on whole, one concern is that even data that is innocuous by social media or credit card company standards, tilts the playing field away from the inpidual. For example, if I am shopping for a flight, it's easy for a travel site to figure out how badly I need to go on a certain day and price my ticket accordingly. Think about it. If you're on a plane with 200 other passengers, how many do you think paid the same price that you paid? It's the same with hotel rooms, or any number of other services. The problem is the systems know more about you than you probably want them to know, and that could put you potentially at a disadvantage.
Something else to consider is the potential for prying. In most countries, we assume our governments are benign, that the magazines we read, the books we take from the library, the causes we support, the purchases we make, even the places we visit, will not be used by some government to persecute us in the future. It doesn't even have to be a government – when you apply for a home mortgage for example, and you're denied, do you really always know the whole truth about why? It's all in your big data, but that doesn't mean the data is correct and it doesn't mean that you will ever know what's really there.
For those of you whose businesses are based on big data, I urge you to use caution when dealing with privacy issues. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "There are many things of which a wise man might wish to be ignorant." I think that may apply to businesses as well.
One of the best reasons to subscribe to an online backup provider is to protect the precious memories and the valuable work living on your computer. We know that those memories and data are stored in various forms – including videos! So we want to make sure you've selected all the files you'd like Carbonite to save. In this post – we'll explain how.
Carbonite offers a variety of plans designed to match the different needs of different customers. Because our plans have unique features, there are a few different ways to go about backing up your video files.
For those of you trying out Carbonite for the first time, our free trial period offers users the chance to experience online backup with Carbonite. Music and video files aren't automatically backed up during the trial period, but they can be added to your backup manually. Additionally, your music files will be automatically added to your backup if you purchase a subscription.
Because video and music files tend to be larger, they can often extend the time it takes to complete an initial backup, which is why they are not automatically added to your backup queue when using Carbonite Home and HomePlus. Carbonite Home and HomePlus subscribers who want to back up their videos can easily do so by right-clicking on the file and selecting Carbonite; Back this up on a Windows computer, or by using the Carbonite Preferences pane to add files for backup on a Mac. For users of Carbonite Home Premier and both of our small business solutions, video files will be automatically included for backup.
Whatever your plan, online backup with Carbonite is easy and convenient because you simply set it and forget it! And once you've selected your videos for backup, you can share those memories anytime, anywhere with our remote access feature!
That's no problem at all, @tournevis!
With your Carbonite subscription comes peace of mind knowing that your Carbonite online backup is working in the background, continuously backing up all of your files. Users of both our home and small business products love the set-it and forget-it ease of automatic backup with Carbonite. But sometimes our users, like @tournevis, want to temporarily override their current settings or preferences.
As long as your device is connected, each file you have selected for backup is backed up daily. But you can also choose do this sooner than your next scheduled backup. To clear that 24 hour timer and rescan the drive, Windows users can elect to "Backup Now" with a few simple clicks! Here's how:
While holding down the right shift key, click the Carbonite lock icon on your computer.
The following menu will appear.
Simply click the Backup Now! option and any files displaying an yellow dot will be backed up again.
Now your files are backed up at your convenience!
Last month, our new mobile app debuted for Android and iOS smartphone users. The consensus so far is that the app is a fantastic way to back up the photos and videos stored on your mobile devices (and nowadays, that's likely quite a few)!
But protecting your pics isn't the only way we're saving your data. This tip will help mobile users make the most of their backup – without sacrificing their data plan!
Camera, personal assistant, mailbox… smartphone functionality keeps increasing, but so do the prices of mobile data plans! With this in mind, we designed our new app to fit the needs and challenges of today's mobile user. One of the ways we did this was to set the default to back up over Wi-Fi – allowing users to conserve their data usage and back up their mobile photos and videos without incurring big data use fees from their mobile plan provider.
For those lucky enough to have unlimited data plans, or for the mobile user who just prefers to back up without Wi-Fi restrictions, the default can be changed simply by adjusting the setting to back up over cellular connections.
If you haven't checked out our free mobile app, what are you waiting for? Download it today!
Home and Business customers, like Marc, and users still in trial, like Chris often wonder what happens to backed up data once it's been deleted from the computer.
As an online backup service, Carbonite creates copies of your files and protects them by backing them up in the cloud. But data that's been deleted from your computer doesn't have an indefinite shelf life on our servers. If a file that has been deleted hasn't been restored within the retention period – 30 days for Home subscribers and 60 days for Business – Carbonite assumes the user no longer wants the file and erases the data from our servers.
Accidental file deletion is a common occurrence – and people don't always immediately realize it's happened. So it's smart to periodically check on the status of your files to ensure nothing of value has been sent to the trash can!
You didn't accidentally delete that file, and you want it gone for good ASAP? No problem – both Windows and Mac users can easily queue a file for removal from our servers within 72 hours.
For those customers who have trialed Carbonite, we hold your data on our servers for 15 days after your trial expiration to ensure your backed up data remains protected while you contemplate how to proceed with Carbonite.
Knowing how to keep the files you want, and get rid of the ones you don't is an integral part of making sure your online backup solution is working for you. If you ever have any questions about the status of your files, reach out to our support team!

Even if you've already "fallen" into your new autumn routine, it's never too late to start practicing data safety with your own DIY online backup plan! Begin today with a Carbonite free trial!
Do you remember when you got your first computer? Chances are you purchased one to dabble in email, play games, browse the internet (when your phone line was free) and use a word processor. Today, our lives are on our computers, virtually speaking. Our entertainment, financial records, family photos and everything we need to do our jobs are made available to us by a small machine that at times can be quite temperamental. We know we should be protecting ourselves against losing data — whether by theft, hard drive failures, disasters or a simple wayward click of the mouse —but figuring out the best way to protect ourselves can be overwhelming.
The rise of cloud computing has given us many options when it comes to storing and accessing our data, including online backup, syncing and storage. But, backup, syncing and storage are designed to meet different needs. And, as Carbonite found in a recent survey, most Americans are confused by all the cloud offerings that promise to backup, sync or store their data, and only 1/3 understand that backup is the most effective method for protecting data. So let's take a look at these services and cut through the cloud confusion.
Online backup automatically makes current and continual copies of your files and stores these copies separate from your computer system in the cloud. With online backup, if anything happens to your original files, you don't need to worry, because you can restore your content easily. Online backup providers that offer remote access (like Carbonite!) also ensure that all your files can be accessed anytime, anywhere — from a computer, mobile device or tablet.
Storage merely provides space for users to manually select files to save in the cloud, essentially extending your computer storage versus keeping a second copy of your data. Storage providers generally lack automatic service and it can be a cumbersome process to choose each and every file you want to store a copy of. Plus, if you're away from your computer or your hard drive crashes, you'll only be able to access those specific files you have manually saved in the cloud.
Syncing copies specific files or folders from your computer to the cloud and to your other devices. They usually offer a small amount of storage – say, 2GBs – for free. If you need more than that, you may have to pay about $10-20 per month depending on the service, or you'll likely need to manage your data limits. The files you manually select will be available on your other devices, but the files you haven't selected– whether due to space limitations or your choice – won't be available remotely or backed up anywhere.
Why does it matter that consumers understand these options? Fifty-one percent of Americans have experienced a computer crash where they lost everything, and people relying on basic storage and syncing providers aren't protected against that kind of complete data loss. Online backup is the only way to ensure all your files are backed up, accessible and easily recovered in case the worst does happen.

Last year, we were alarmed to learn that although almost half (48%) of small to medium-sized businesses had already lost irreplaceable data, 31% of SMBs still weren't backing up because they believed it was a hassle.
When we set out to create an online backup product for SMBs, we knew we couldn't develop just any product. We sought to design an innovative product to specifically address the backup requirements, budgets, security and accessibility needs of these businesses – and one they would actually want to use.

FINALIST: Best Home of the Year
How much wiring can you stuff into your home?
This major project that was led by Texas-based Futurian Systems featured Texas-sized systems installation. How big? According to Futurian's Jeremy Beck, how about seven individual media rooms requested, over 1,000 individual lights needing control, media to be stored and served in 20 different zones, a high-speed Wi-Fi network was a must, camera surveillance covering every corner of the house, and a robust control system to tie it all together.
"Over 400 man hours were spent to strategically route 20 linear miles of audio, video, voice, data, security, and fiber optic wiring throughout the estate," says Beck. "The wiring infrastructure set up the home for the ultimate type of home system that included multiple media rooms and a beautiful theater, movie and music storage and distribution throughout, a wired and wireless network with secured access everywhere, a sophisticated phone system with both wired and wireless handsets, and a control system that glued everything together."
That's right—20 miles of wiring. Fortunately, Futurian was able to install a Control4 system as a critical backbone of the entire home's technology, able to serve as the umbrella control under which everything could be commanded.
That includes not only the features of, say, the televisions and what content they show, but the way some of the TVs in the home are engaged. "By far, the most exciting feature of this installation is the drop-down flat panel TV in the master bedroom," says Beck. "When the Control4 button is pushed on the remote control the TV automatically drops from the attic into the room and puts a nice little tilt down towards the bed."
With such a large residence, the surveillance system was crucial as well, and the Control4 interface can tap into any of the 10 cameras that keep a watchful eye over the property—whether the interface is a touchscreen or television screen.
And if that's not impressive enough, consider that each media room has a full 7.1 surround setup. Intrusive, you say? Nah—all the speakers, including the sub are built into the ceiling and have "a nice faux finish to perfectly blend with the room," notes Beck.

Citrix Systems is the global leader and the most trusted name in application delivery infrastructure. More than 215,000 organizations worldwide rely on Citrix to deliver applications of any kind to users anywhere. Citrix customers include 100 percent of the Fortune 100 companies and 99 percent of the Fortune Global 500, as well as hundreds of thousands of small businesses and consumers. The company's network is accessed daily by more than 10,000 users in its major London, Sydney, and Hong Kong sites and elsewhere.
Protection of global infrastructure and endpoints needed 24/7
"With security threats increasing in complexity and scope, we need to protect our network infrastructure and data around the clock, around the globe, every single day" says Ricardo Bonefont, IT governance and compliance manager at Citrix. "With limited resources for IT security and shrinking windows of availability for patch management, we need all the help we can get to protect against threats, especially zero-day viruses."
Superior protection, management console, and integration
Citrix conducted an intensive evaluation of the top three anti-virus solutions. "Of these top vendors, McAfee was far superior for several reasons," says Bonefont. "First, McAfee's management console, ePolicy Orchestrator, is leaps and bounds ahead of the competition. Not only is it easy to use but it has a long, proven record of success. Second, McAfee offers a seamlessly integrated solution that provides a lot more than just anti-virus protection."
Adding to its existing arsenal of McAfee security risk management solutions, Citrix purchased McAfee Total Protection (ToPS) for Endpoint to provide anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-spam, firewall, email filtering, and host intrusion prevention across all 10,000 systems. In addition to integrating all this security risk management functionality in one solution, managed by a single console — McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) — McAfee ToPS for Endpoint also provides the scalability Citrix needs, without requiring additional server hardware.
Smooth deployment for Citrix
With the company's previous anti-virus solution, deployment to all 10,000 nodes had been extremely difficult. Deployment of McAfee ToPS for Endpoint, on the other hand, was easy and fast.
"We simply instructed ePO to uninstall the old software and deploy the new agents and, in less than an hour, we had 500 systems protected by McAfee," says Bonefont. "The IT Service Desk said it was one of the best deployments in the history of the company; not a single Service Desk ticket was submitted. The ease of deployment really is remarkable." Citrix estimates the McAfee solution saved $40,000 in deployment costs alone.
ePO eases administration, saves time
"With McAfee ePO, managing security at our endpoints is many times easier than before," says Bonefont. Customizable dashboards and reports provide at-a-glance visibility that lets Citrix administrators know right away the status of security on the company's desktops and servers. If they need to update machines, they simply instruct ePO to push the required .DAT or other files to the out-of-date systems. "McAfee ePO has eliminated countless hours of manual intervention for patches, upgrades, and hot fixes."
Citrix administrators also use ePO to keep the company's Macintosh users protected. McAfee VirusScan® for Mac protects Mac desktops and can be centrally managed alongside ToPS for Endpoint from the McAfee ePO console.
In addition, McAfee's superior on-access scanning technology saves administrators time by reducing the number of potential security incidents they need to handle. Since installing McAfee ToPS for Endpoint, Citrix has reduced incident response times by 40 percent.
"With McAfee ePO, managing security at our endpoints is many times easier than before… ePO has eliminated countless hours of manual intervention for patches, upgrades, and hot fixes."Ricardo Bonefont
IT Governance and Compliance Manager, Citrix Systems
Tangible ROI
Citrix's arsenal of security tools also includes McAfee Vulnerability Manager which is deployed across the network to mitigate the findings of internal and external audits. Daily and monthly scans are scheduled to run automatically and ensure that vulnerabilities found in audits have been remediated and do not resurface. Vulnerability Manager has reduced remediation time by approximately 70 percent.
With McAfee Vulnerability Manager, Citrix estimates savings of $130,000 from the reduction in hours spent remediating audits, and a return on investment of only one year. And, although the company didn't calculate savings from freeing up IT administrators, it has calculated a reduction in total expenditure for endpoint protection. The company calculates a hard return on its McAfee ToPS for Endpoint investment of $640,000 after three years.
Encryption protects data on laptops
Because its mobile users present the highest risk for data loss due to device theft, Citrix is also rolling out McAfee Endpoint Encryption to protect the data on its 2,200 laptops. It is also complimented by additional functionality provided by ePO.
Citrix has experienced a 99.5 percent installation success rate with Endpoint Encryption. Upper management and users are all pleased because the encryption solution is completely transparent to them. And, with ePO, they can easily test their deployment methodology before rolling out to the remaining laptops.
Proactively blocking attacks before they occur
Citrix had an intrusion detection system (IDS) but, to provide more robust protection, they recently added McAfee Network Security Platform (formerly McAfee IntruShield). A market-leading intrusion prevention system (IPS), Network Security Platform not only detects all network intrusions but also blocks any unwanted or suspicious intrusions before they can inflict harm. "Since implementing McAfee Network Security Platform, we are aware of — and block — attacks that we would never have known about before," says Tom Krawczyk, senior security architect at Citrix.
This extra layer of protection for Citrix business information helps the company comply with both regulatory and corporate regulations and the prevention of downtime — caused by unchecked attacks—decreases operational expenses. Network Security Platform also lets Citrix administrators quarantine suspect or vulnerable systems, thus protecting other systems on the network and buying time for patches to be created, tested, and deployed.

Healthcare has been in the news a lot recently. More specifically healthcare insurance with the so-called Obama care legislation started to take effect.
The changes in law are going to have wide reaching effects on just about everybody in America. Whether you have health insurance, don't have health insurance, want health insurance or anything else, how you get that coverage and how much you pay for it is going to change.
Additionally, there are huge tax implications for whatever your situation might be.
The rising cost of healthcare has forced many people to look at Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare of course is for seniors while Medicaid is for anybody, including seniors.
What many people don't know is that to get Medicaid benefits there are many different tests you have to pass. Primary among these tests are income tests.
Essentially, if you make too much money then you won't be eligible for Medicaid.
Enter the Medicaid spend down plan.
By spending down your income, you can make yourself eligible for those Medicaid benefits. Of course, this will depend on your state's laws and your personal situation.
If this is something that might be appropriate for your situation, you should contact a reputable attorney in the field, like those at www.sustainablesenior.com.

WASHINGTON - Hundreds flock to Pasadena, Calif., to watch the world-famous Tournament of Roses parade. Fifty million people tune in all across the country to watch in on TV.
For one couple, this meant the perfect opportunity to get married.
For the first time in the parade's 124-year history, a couple will tie the knot at the national event. Gerald Sapienza and Nicole Angelillo of Chesapeake, Va., grew up in the same town and attended the same high school, but didn't manage to meet until 10 years after graduation.
The couple fell in love at first sight. After Gerald popped the question during one of Nicole's business trips in New Orleans, they celebrated their magical night by riding on a Mardi Gras float.
Now, the couple will wed atop the Farmers Insurance "Love Float".
"It is a very public venue and we're excited to do it," says Nicole.
After entering the "Love Float" national contest, hundreds of entries were cut to just four. America voted, and Gerald and Nicole turned out to be that lucky couple.
"We are going to get married going down the Boulevard and the world gets to share it with us," Nicole says.
David's Bridal of Hampton, Va., is outfitting Nicole and her entire wedding party. But her gown proved most challenging.
"We had a lot of obstacles to overcome," says Tina Gilliam, the store's assistant manger. "The dress had to work over a harness that will anchor Nicole to the float, a float that she can only get to by climbing."
Gilliam then brought out their 10-foot store ladder - the same one the store uses to change its light bulbs.
"We actually had her climb the ladder in the dress to see if she could," Gilliam says.
She could, and that dress will be on display on New Year's Day as the happy couple makes their vows.
Contest rules for the wedding dress state that it must have little to no train and no big, ball gown-style skirt, so that brides can climb up and down the ladder of the float quickly. The dress material needs to be forgiving as well for climbing the ladder and wearing a harness, so brides must avoid dresses with boning and stiff or fragile fabric.

Schumann: Piano Music
Studio Master FLAC & ALAC downloads availableCDA67166
Movement 1: Durchaus phantastisch und leidenschaftlich vorzutragen
Movement 2: Mässig: Durchaus energisch
Movement 3: Langsam getragen: Durchaus leise zu halten
The compositional history is complex but unavoidable. In June 1836, during a period of enforced separation from Clara, Schumann composed a single-movement Fantaisie [sic] to which he gave the title 'Ruines': he was subsequently to tell Clara that it had been a 'deep lament' for her. Later in the year, inspired by the idea of raising money for the monument to Beethoven which Liszt (to whom Schumann dedicated the Fantasie) and others proposed to erect in Bonn, he added two further movements, called 'Trophaeen' and 'Palmen', and proposed to publish the three together as a Grosse Sonate … für Beethovens Denkmal. The second and third movements were subsequently given new titles ('Siegesbogen' and 'Sternbild'), and the complete work was variously entitled Phantasieen, Fata Morgana, and Dichtungen before Schumann eventually decided on the generic, singular Fantasie, stemming from the originally independent first movement. The term aptly suits that rhapsodic and sectionally conceived movement, which nonetheless clearly acknowledges the conventions of sonata form while simultaneously playing against them at almost every turn. On the other hand, the three-movement design of the whole is more characteristic of the sonata, notwithstanding that the sequence of movements here is quite uncharacteristic of the classical sonata.
If we then describe Schumann's Op 17 as a fantasia quasi una sonata, we remind ourselves of an obvious model for the generic duality displayed in Schumann's conception of the piece: namely, Beethoven's two sonatas Op 27, both of which were published in 1802 as sonata quasi una fantasia. (One thinks, too, of Schubert's 'Wanderer' Fantasia, D760, which overlays a four-movement sonata design on the continuous but sectional construction of the work.) And Beethoven's 'presence' in the Fantasie seemingly goes much further than both this and Schumann's passing idea of a 'sonata for Beethoven'. Preparing the work for publication during 1838, Schumann decided to preface the score with a quotation from Friedrich Schlegel:
Durch alle Töne tönet
Im bunten Erdentraum
Ein leiser Ton gezogen
Für den, der heimlich lauschet
Through all the notes
In earth's many-coloured dream
There sounds one soft long-drawn note
For the one who listens in secret.
'Are not you really the "note" in the motto? I almost believe you are', wrote Schumann to Clara in June 1839—a remark which may have been intended rather less seriously than has usually been assumed. But there is no doubt that, above all in the first movement, a very subtle process of thematic and motivic interrelationship is being employed. Whereas one would normally expect such a process to begin from a clearly identifiable musical idea which subsequently becomes transformed, the beauty of Schumann's achievement in this movement lies in its seeming reversal of that process. For to the extent that anything can be defined as the thematic or motivic kernel of this music, it seems to be the two-bar phrase which begins the 'Adagio' section at the very end of the movement; and this phrase has long been held to be an allusion to the last song of Beethoven's cycle An die ferne Geliebte, where it sets the words 'Nimm sie hin, denn, diese Lieder' ('So take them, these songs [which I sang to you]'). In June 1836, when Schumann composed this movement under the title 'Ruines', Clara was literally his 'distant beloved', with whom he could communicate only in his imagination by means of shared music. And Clara did, in the end, sing his song back to him: 'Yesterday I received your wonderful Fantasy,' she wrote on 23 May 1839; 'today I am still half ill with rapture'.
